Chapter 913: 511 Distinguishable, Indistinguishable
511 Distinguishable, Indistinguishable
However, although I escaped a disaster by intuition and wasn't hijacked by that Leon, Feliya was captured by him. Even if there is no life danger, it's still a troublesome matter...
After pondering for a while in the lounge chair, Prince Andrei stood up again, walked to the bookshelf on the left, took out a metal piece connected to a copper wire from a secret compartment, and stuck it to the back of his head.
"Prince Andrei!"
The moment the metal piece touched the back of his head, a voice full of urgency rang in Prince Andrei's ear.
"How is it going on your end? Have you figured out the reason for Atifi 01's abnormal calculation? Has the abnormal situation been ruled out?"
"Don't call her Atifi 01, she has a name. You should call her Princess Feliya."
After correcting the male voice's way of addressing her, Prince Andrei said slowly:
"The reason for the abnormal calculation is not yet clear, but the abnormal situation has been ruled out. Your No. 1 Research Area can lift the blockade; no need to worry about Feliya remotely calling Atifi 01 to continue excessive calculations."
"That's good..."
After hearing Prince Andrei's notification, the male voice coming through the metal piece let out a long sigh of relief and then asked:
"Prince Andrei, At... Princess Feliya has been separated from Atifi 01 for almost two months. When do you plan to strip her from that human flesh body and let her return to Atifi 01?"
"We'll see~"
Prince Andrei blinked upon hearing this and then said helplessly:
"I would very much like for her to go back immediately, but unfortunately, Feliya was kidnapped today, and even the information chip in the back of her head was removed by some unknown method. I can't find her location at all right now."
"?!!!"
What the hell? Feli... that flesh body "storing" Atifi 01's core program was actually kidnapped?
After hearing Prince Andrei's words, heavy gasping sounds came from the other end of the metal piece.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, the person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area said with obvious annoyance:
"Prince Andrei! Do you know what you are saying? This kind of thing is not something to joke about!"
"Am I the kind of person who likes to joke?"
After dragging his lounge chair to the bookshelf and lying down again, Prince Andrei, who was squinting comfortably, explained lazily:
"There have been several delegations visiting these past two days, and I was assigned the job of receiving them by my mother. Feliya was very interested in one of the delegation groups and pestered me for a long time, snatching the reception job away.
However, the envoy of that delegation was actually two cleaners. After they saw Feliya, I don't know what they were thinking, but they suddenly kidnapped her... Faced with this kind of low-probability event, what can I do?"
"But this kind of thing could have been avoided!"
Seemingly provoked by Prince Andrei's perfunctory attitude, the person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area took two heavy breaths and then said with no lack of complaint:
"When that flesh body was created, I had repeatedly suggested to you that Atifi 01's core program is too important. It's best to let it stay in the No. 1 Research Area. Giving it a flesh body and letting it move around is enough; don't take it out casually!
And regarding this matter, you gave your word!
It was you who said that with the information chip in the back of the head, carefully selected guards, and protection from Cleaning Bureau cleaners, even if Atifi 01 were to leave the No. 1 Research Area, it wouldn't be likely to have problems. Now..."
"No, you are so annoying!"
After moving the metal piece used for private calls a little further away to reduce the noise coming from inside, Prince Andrei said unhappily:
"What I said was it's 'not likely' to have problems. Do you understand what 'not likely' means? Not likely to have problems means it won't have problems under normal circumstances, but special circumstances are excluded. Understand?"
A Prince who came from thousands of miles away to serve as an envoy suddenly takes action to kidnap Feliya—Atifi 01 couldn't calculate that a person with a sick brain would do such a thing, so how could I know?
Also, stop calling her Atifi 01; I find it confusing. The real Atifi 01 is the machine soaking in the lake in your No. 1 Research Area. The one who has obtained a flesh body now is my sister in name, Feliya. You must call her Princess."
"..."
"Alright, Prince Andrei, I have noted your request."
After being scolded by Prince Andrei, the voice in the metal piece turned slightly cold, and the person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area said in a deep voice:
"But if possible, can I ask you a question? Why do you care so much about how I address Atifi 01?"
"What else could it be for?"
Prince Andrei crossed his legs and said impatiently:
"A person is a person, a machine is a machine. Calling them that makes it easier to distinguish!"
"You really should distinguish them well!"
The person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area sneered upon hearing this and then said with a hint of mockery:
"I must remind you one more time: the real Princess Feliya died more than ten years ago. This so-called Princess Feliya now is just a flesh creation used to temporarily carry Atifi 01's core program.
Those actions that look like a living person, and those answers that are like a living person, are all not real. They are all models that we scholars have calculated bit by bit over so many years.
It is not your dead sister at all; it is just a fake flesh puppet we created that has no soul!"
"..."
"I understand this better than you."
After a moment of silence, Prince Andrei on the lounge chair sat up straight, clutched the metal piece, and said expressionlessly:
"Strictly speaking, Feliya was killed by my own hands, and I buried her in the cemetery with my own hands. I am very clear about this kind of thing; you don't need to remind me!"
"Heh, then I can only hope you are truly clear about it."
Seemingly too lazy to talk to Prince Andrei anymore, the person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area on the other end of the metal piece sneered and then said:
"I think you should understand the importance of Atifi 01 to the Kingdom better than I do. Such an absurd thing as the loss of its core program is absolutely not to be tolerated!
Therefore, regarding the process of you losing Atifi 01, and these guesses that you flatly deny, I will report them all truthfully to His Majesty the King. I hope that when the time comes, your explanation will also satisfy His Majesty!"
"Oh."
Faced with the threat from the person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area, Prince Andrei's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said lazily:
"Go ahead, go ahead, do whatever you want if you want to complain!"
"Hmph!"
After an angry snort, the person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area "hung up" the communication. Prince Andrei sighed, got up from the lounge chair reluctantly, searched in the secret compartment of the bookshelf, took out another metal piece with a lever, and stuck it to the back of his head.
A moment later, a familiar voice that was clearly trying to suppress anger rang in Prince Andrei's ear again.
"Your Majesty!"
The person in charge of the No. 1 Research Area suppressed his anger and reported through the "internal communication piece":
"Atifi 01's core program has been hijacked, and Prince Andrei's attitude is ambiguous. I even suspect that this hijacking might be related to him!"
"Understood."
After flicking the lever of the metal piece, Prince Andrei pulled the copper wire and walked back a few steps, lay back on his comfortable lounge chair, and then, adopting a tone that was slightly aged and majestic, replied:
"You do your own work first. As for other problems, I will have a good talk with Andrei!" ===== CHAPTER 914 =====
