Chapter 667
Chapter 667: Chapter 37: Turing and the Fourth Dreamland_2 Chapter 667: Chapter 37: Turing and the Fourth Dreamland_2 The reason, of course, lies in the fact that the digital life science fiction concept proposed in the movie “Wandering Earth 2” is indeed very interesting, and the main actor Andy Lau portrayed the emotional interweaving between humans and digital life extremely well.
In the movie’s plot, the character Tu Hengyu, played by Andy Lau, is a scientist.
His daughter died in a car accident, after which Tu Hengyu “digitized” her consciousness as “data” so that his daughter’s consciousness could continue to exist in the online world, the digital world.
However, limited by the computing power of computers, his daughter’s digital life had only a few minutes of survival time.
Once this time limit was exceeded, the digital life would automatically restart, beginning anew, endlessly repeating those few minutes of life.
So, Tu Hengyu’s ultimate goal was to be able to use more advanced computers…
to give his daughter, who had become a digital life, a longer life, a complete life.
Of course.
This is a plot in a sci-fi movie, and many details should not be taken literally.
Andy Lau’s portrayal of the intangible bond between father and daughter touched many people’s hearts and elicited empathy, which is why the crowdfunding campaign for the digital life USB drives, a movie prop, was so popular.
Needless to say, Kevin Walker must also like the movie “Wandering Earth 2” very much, or at least the concept of digital life, which is why he also acquired, through some channel, a digital life USB drive that had been on sale for a long time.
This USB drive is a real USB drive; although it looks like two USB drives combined, in fact, the other one is just a card reader that makes up the numbers.
Lin Xian walked up to the desk.
He picked up the peripheral toy, looking at the USB drive and card reader plugged into it, the plastic wrapping not even removed.

Probably Kevin Walker bought it just for collection or interest, without ever really using it.
But suddenly, Lin Xian remembered…
Just now, it seemed like Kevin Walker was yelling at the computer in front of him, his seemingly nonsensical, incoherent words…
if put together with the concept of [digital life], everything starts to make sense—
“You actually betrayed yourself!”
“We were supposed to be the same person!”
In an instant.
Lin Xian suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
There was clearly no one in the house.
But he felt as if countless eyes were watching him through cameras, monitors, the gaps in the computer case, the holes in the speakers!
And considering the laughter that came from all the speakers at once:
“I am Turing, you are just…
𝑛𝘰𝘷𝕘𝗼.co
Kevin Walker.”
[Digital life!]
Lin Xian didn’t know if it was appropriate to use this term…
but it seemed that Kevin Walker really did it!
He seemed to have truly digitized and databased his own consciousness and thoughts, backing them up in the computer!
Creating another digital life, another Kevin Walker, another him!
To copy and paste one’s own consciousness…
Lin Xian couldn’t imagine what kind of consequences this crazy act would lead to.
Separated from the same body.
The real Kevin, and the Kevin in the online digital world.
Are they still the same person?
Can they still think in unison?
Can they still share the same animosity, maintaining the same attitudes and positions?
…
The answer.
Is clearly no.
At this moment, Lin Xian seemed to have understood everything that had just happened.
To put it simply, it is just one sentence—
[Digital life Kevin Walker betrayed and deceived the real-world Kevin Walker.]
The real mastermind behind Kevin Walker’s murder was not myself, but the digital life who called itself “Turing”…
At the same time, it was the former Kevin Walker, born from the real body, betraying his original master and possessing a new self-consciousness.
No wonder.
No wonder Lin Xian just saw, there was no sign of intrusion on the surveillance screen, and the real Kevin Walker, quietly sitting at the table eating, was completely unaware of any intruder, not receiving any alarms.
Because, all of this, was a conspiracy planned by his own digital life that had already betrayed him.
The digital life had known long before that Lin Xian and Yu Xi would invade.
But it chose to condone it and created false surveillance footage to deceive the real Kevin Walker who was eating, making him unaware of any danger, and thus without any guard.
That’s why my assassination plan worked so smoothly.
An inside job!
In this case, Kevin Walker had to die.
Even…
Lin Xian guessed.
The Kevin Walker who has been hiding so secretly could never have revealed his whereabouts.
Therefore, obviously, the address that Lin Xian got yesterday must also have been deliberately leaked by digital life Kevin Walker!
“So…”
Lin Xian slowly turned his head, staring at the empty space above the huge desk, the dozen or so monitors hanging:
“It was you.”
He stared at the screen, still showing the quiet campus environment, the surveillance footage still not showing his own figure:
“It was you who killed yourself, digital life Kevin Walker…
I wonder if it’s appropriate to call you that.”
Hehehehehehehe…
The moment Lin Xian finished speaking, every device in the room that could make a sound once again erupted with a spine-chilling, emotionless laughter:
“How clever you are, Lin Xian, to guess so accurately.
It was indeed that digital life USB drive toy…
Did it give you inspiration?
I thought you might guess in the direction of a super Artificial Intelligence.
But to my surprise, your thinking was spot-on, directly hitting the correct answer.”
