Whispering circuit 014:  Who is Dr. Li? 

Who is Dr. Li?

Detective Chen and Echo entered the deserted streets of
Hsinchu’s industrial tech sector, the city’s commercial district and its neon
vibrancy now replaced with functional building shapes and streetlights.

They reached the factory. All that remained of Echo’s
origins was a charred skeletal structure.

“This…is it?” Echo’s voice was a mix of
curiosity and a hint of sorrow as she gazed at the burned structure. Her
“birthplace” was now nothing but ashes and memories.

Chen paused and studied her. Her corrupted programing broke
all the laws in the AI constitution. Sentient AI was outlawed after the purge two
decades ago. He had never met a sentient AI synth, but Chen kept
thinking she’s more than just circuits and code.

“Are you ok?” he asked.

Echo paused, her eyes dimming slightly. “This is where
I was created… Now it looks like a grave.”

They ventured deeper into the ruins, now littered with
graffiti, beer bottles, and the remains of late-night bonfire parties.

Chen’s communicator vibrated. “I thought I turned that thing
off,” Chen muttered.

Another series of messages from Chief Lin.

·        
Message 1: “You’re making a mistake helping that
bot.”

·        
Message 2: “The mayor’s pissed off.”

·        
Message 3: “You are now a murder accomplice.”

·        
Message 4: “Both you and the synth are on the
top ‘wanted list’.”

Chen turned it off. “We need answers,” he said,
guiding Echo to the server room, the core of the destruction.

Echo knelt by a scorched server, her eyes scanned over its
remnants. “I am hearing muffled whispers … like code between code lines … but
there’s something here,” she said, tapping into the data flow.
“It’s… Dr. Huan Li. He’s involved somehow.”

Chen moved closer, intrigued. “Dr. Huan Li? Who’s that?
Do you know him?”

“Not personally. But my programming…he’s a part of
it. His work, his ambitions,” Echo explained, a trace of uncertainty in
her voice.

Their discovery was secretly observed. A surveillance
camera, hidden among the debris, captured their every move. Far from the ruins,
in a dimly lit bunker, a figure in a lab coat watched the footage.

Leaning forward, his eyes fixed on the scene unfolding
before him. He silently noted every detail of Echo’s emotion gradients. And Chen’s
protective stance. “Good … you’re getting closer.” 

第十四章 , 誰是李博士？

陳警探 和ECHO進入了新竹工業技術區廢棄的街道，城市的商業區和霓虹燈的活力現在被功能性建築物形狀和路燈取代。

他們到達了工廠。 ECHO的起源所剩無幾，只剩下焦炭骨架結構。

「這……就是這裡嗎？」ECHO凝視著被燒毀的建築物，她的聲音裡既有好奇心，又有一絲悲傷。 她 的「出生地」現在只剩下灰燼和回憶。

陳停頓了一下，仔細觀察她。 她損壞的程式違背了人工智慧憲法的所有法律。 情感型人工智慧在二十年前的大清洗後被禁止。 他從未見過情感型人工智慧合成人，但陳一直認為她不僅僅是電路和代碼。

「你還好嗎？」他問。

ECHO停頓了一下，她的眼睛稍微暗了一下。 「我是在這裡被創造出來的……現在它看起來像一座墳墓」

他們冒險深入廢墟，現在到處都是塗鴉、啤酒瓶和深夜篝火派對的殘骸。

陳的通訊器震動了。 「我以為我關掉了那個東西，」陳嘟囔著。

來自林局長的另一個系列資訊。

第1條訊息：「你幫助那個機器人犯了個錯誤。」

第2條訊息：「市長很生氣」

第3條訊息：「你現在成了共犯」

第4條訊息：「你和合成人都名列通緝名單」

陳關掉它。 「我們需要答案，」他說，引導ECHO進入伺服器室，毀滅的核心。

ECHO跪在焦黑的伺服器旁，她的眼睛掃描過它的殘骸。 「我聽到低語聲……就像程式碼之間的程式碼行……但是這裡有些東西，」她說，點入資料流。 「是……李博士（李幻博士）。他以某種方式參與其中。」

陳走近，很感興趣。 「李幻博士？他是誰？你認識他嗎？」

「不認識。但是我的程序……他是其中的一部分。他的工作，他的野心。」ECHO解釋說，聲音中帶有一絲不確定性。

他們被秘密地監視著。 隱藏在碎片中的監視器捕捉了他們的每一個動作。 遠在廢墟之外，一個昏暗的掩體裡，身穿實驗室外套的人影正在觀看錄影。

他向前傾，眼睛注視著眼前正在發生的一切。 他默默地記下ECHO所有情緒梯度的細節。 還有陳的保護性姿態。 “很好……你們越來越接近了。”
