"Shit!"
Gao Xin said coldly, "You don't have any damn child. Either change it yourself, or I'll delete you and let you awaken all over again."
Her eyes were hollow and desperate, an expression of resigned acceptance.
Curled up on the ground, "Don't do this... I beg you... be gentle..."
"..." Gao Xin's Heart Power was rapidly consuming to suppress his emotions.
At this rate, he wouldn't need three days; in two days, his mind would melt.
"Since you've accessed my memories, you should recognize me."
She raised her head blankly and then said softly after a long while, "I'm sorry... I don't recognize you."
Gao Xin was puzzled, "You don't recognize me? Then what are you afraid of?"
She said in a trembling voice, "I feel you control my life and death, I'm very scared. I have a child, he's only four years old, and if I die, I don't know what will happen to him..."
"The child? Where is he?" Gao Xin pressed further.
She cautiously stood up and said timidly, "He's at home, without me, he'd be very scared. Can you... let me go?"
Gao Xin frowned and said, "Sure, go home."
She looked pleasantly surprised, quickly thanked him, and then cautiously retreated. Seeing that Gao Xin didn't react, she abruptly started running.
She rushed out of the Dragon Hall and was stunned by the scene outside.
Majestic and solemn palace buildings, and a city seemingly built on clouds, with the Vermilion Bird Gate near and far surrounded by the Dragon Forbidden Guard, many of whom stood there with robust builds in heavy armor, holding ferocious weapons.
At first, she carefully detoured, but later realized these people couldn't see her.
She grew bolder and tried to pass through the Vermilion Bird Gate. Soon, she was 500 meters away from Gao Xin.
This was beyond the range of Heart Power maintenance, meaning her existence no longer relied on Gao Xin's Heart Power support, not consuming Gao Xin's Heart Power.
Though this AI is akin to a Fantasy Partner that was autonomously created, it is not Gao Xin's sub-personality but was established by an independent sub-brain.
Unlike Silver Hand and the others, to put it simply, Gao Xin currently doesn't have a human brain, only two Matrix digital brains.
One is his own, and the other belongs to this AI, each mounted in different nanomatrices.
The hardware of this AI is a biological nanomatrix, integrated into the Cangyue Cell.
Thus, theoretically, the fantasy personality's range of action is infinitely large...
However, Gao Xin's sensory range takes precedence, so areas unseen by Gao Xin are equivalent to being 'unmodeled' for this Fantasy Partner.
The woman cautiously wandered through the unfamiliar city, some places she wanted to enter, only to find them completely void.
She was incredibly frightened, asking directions everywhere, but no one paid attention to her, unable to see her.
To anyone other than Gao Xin, she was as if nonexistent.
Terrified, she walked further and further away, eventually arriving in a desolate wilderness.
The whole world was a blur of chaos, and moving forward felt like stepping into a fog of nothingness.
She dared not walk further, looked back, and saw that Tangren City was merely a small dot in her vision, everything else was void.
It was like the entire universe had a lone island that 'existed' only for her.
In extreme panic, she ultimately turned back and ran.
Cautiously stepping back into the Dragon Hall, she looked timidly at Gao Xin, who hadn't moved from the beginning.
"Where is this? Can you... take me back to Shangqiu City, Suihuang Community, No. 817?"
Gao Xin sighed, "You're talking about the Flower Building, right? It's been demolished; now the entire Suihuang Community has become the Suihuang Super Tower."
"Then... what should I do? What about my child?" The woman panicked.
Gao Xin looked down at her, "You don't have a child. You're aware you're an AI, aren't you? How could you have a child?"
The woman was stunned, "How could I be an AI? I have a child, I remember him, he's very cute."
"But... but I also remember I'm AI... Zero Twelve."
"Why? How can I be both human and AI? Why is this data in my head? Who put it there? Can you help me erase it... oh no, no, I'll die for sure."
She crouched down in pain, clutching her head.
Gao Xin gazed at her, uncertain if she was pretending or actually mentally deranged.
Shrugging, he stomped his foot, summoning Silver Hand for subconscious help in analysis.
"Mouse, no need to analyze; you can just bring her into the Thought Palace and read her memory," Silver Hand entered the hall and squatted at the door.
Gao Xin frowned, "Her data volume is super massive. In my current state, I'm afraid I can't handle it; Heart Power consumption might mentally melt me instantly."
Silver Hand shrugged and said, "If you dissolve Themis and run it temporarily, it should work."
"You're just verifying her condition, not bearing her long term."
"Letting her run herself is the most energy-efficient."
Gao Xin pondered, "But without Themis, how do I maintain my matrix body now? I don't know the Matrix Method."
Silver Hand laughed, "Ha ha, so you're worried about that. Haven't you noticed you have two matrix brains now?"
"One relies on Themis personality to maintain your consciousness, and the other is this AI System's constant matrix brain."
"The latter doesn't need anyone to maintain it; it's a permanently solid digital brain carrier."
"That means you have an extra life now. Even if your current body collapses, you won't completely die, as you'll still reside in this AI System's nanomatrix."
"She doesn't have Heart Power, so if you reside there, you become the main entity."
Gao Xin suddenly realized, "Yeah, I can take over her matrix brain."
He almost forgot; he's now a digital lifeform, so this or that carrier is indifferent.
