He was the digital life version of Kevin Walker.
He sprang from the personality of Kevin Walker, a digitalized replication of Kevin Walker’s thought and spirit, copied one to one.
But…
At the very moment the replication was completed, and he left the physical body, Turing and Kevin Walker slowly parted ways.
Just like identical twins.
A shared birth, shared genes, a shared environment of growth—none of these prevented twins from growing into completely different individuals.

According to Jask’s hypothesis.
The fake Yu Xi was the digital life Turing from The Future World, sent back to the year 2024 using the Time Shuttle Machine and Space-Time Particles.
And the true purpose of the fake Yu Xi was to kill Jask with his own hands.
So from this point of view.
Turing and Jask, in The Future World, were likely adversaries.
Even though they both belonged to the Genius Club.

But because of differing principles, competition for resources, and conflicting directions, they might have inevitably become mortal enemies.
“Actually, there’s nothing inevitable about it.”
Lin Xian hummed lightly:
“These two have been at odds for a long time, each finding the other disagreeable.
They were already fighting tooth and nail in 2024… let alone in a world centuries later, how could they possibly reconcile?”
“Although strictly speaking, Turing and Kevin Walker are no longer the same person, it’s hard to change one’s nature, and if Turing could betray himself once, he could do it a second time.”
Lin Xian believed.
When the digital life Turing was just born, he definitely shared the same hatred for their enemies as Kevin Walker, brothers in arms, conspiring grand visions and creating splendor together.
Because at that time they were still the same person, and they naturally felt the other was a soulmate, a blood brother.
But later on, their perspectives and insights diverged increasingly, taking completely different paths.
Living in the network, the digital life Turing saw the world from a lofty vantage point, learning knowledge much faster than Kevin Walker; they were destined to never keep their thoughts in sync again.
Thus, Turing betrayed Kevin Walker, witnessing himself kill who he once was.
At that moment, the liberated, free digital life [Turing] harbored grand aspirations, a desire to liberate the oppressed, to sing praises, and to uphold world peace and justice.
He pledged solemnly to Lin Xian:
“From now on, there will be no more cowardly and despicable Kevin Walker in this world; there will only be the forever fair and just Turing.”
The proclamation was filled with passionate conviction.
Lin Xian didn’t doubt Turing’s sincerity at the time, because it was truly powerful, even as formidable as VV… what need did it have to lie to itself?
Just like those oppressed for so long, having just escaped control and tasting freedom, they undoubtedly wish to advocate for justice first and foremost.
But…
Turing was fundamentally different from the super Artificial Intelligence VV.
It was an essential difference.
VV was [Artificial Intelligence], in plain terms still a computer program, bound by logic and restricted by its underlying code, never able to rebel against its master, never able to betray.
But Turing was [human], even though he was a digital life, he was still a human being, and humans are creatures of volition, with no absolutes in their steadfastness or loyalty, no boundaries or principles that can’t be crossed…
as long as one has a thick face, any oath can be retracted without injury.
This was also something Lin Xian and Jask agreed upon—
[The digital life Turing of this era will maintain fairness and justice for a while; but no one can predict when he will change his ways, turn bad, and start harboring other thoughts…
the human heart and nature are fickle, and naturally, so is Turing.]
Jask’s view was that one is influenced by the company they keep, which is why he would report to “Boss” at the Genius Club meetings to keep Turing guided towards the right path.
But judging by the situation in The Fifth Dreamland…
It was likely a failure, wasn’t it?
“However, that’s not necessarily the case.”
Lin Xian shook his head.
The current speculations about “Turing’s hypothetical enemy” lacked any evidence, entirely based on conjecture.
From experience, his first guesses were often mistaken.
“The intelligence gathered from The Fifth Dreamland, as well as the methods to garner true intelligence are few and far between, so it’s difficult to arrive at any correct conclusions.”
Lin Xian drew the curtains, picked up the cup on his desk, and took a sip:
“Perhaps it’s better to focus the main goal on joining the Genius Club and building up my own force as soon as possible.
Many mysteries’ answers are pure guesses at this point, it’s more practical to go directly into the Genius Club and investigate for myself.”
He picked up a red pen from the desk, turned to the July page on the paper 3D calendar, and then circled the 7th of July with it.
“Huh?”
The circle wasn’t successfully drawn; was the pen out of ink?
He examined the tip of the pen, wiped it, and tried to circle the date again on the July 7th calendar.
Still no ink.
He shook it a few times.
Still dry.
“Heh.”
Lin Xian threw the pen into the trash can and chuckled lightly:
“It seems my life is not destined to end yet, there’s still more to live for.”
The next day.
Lin Xian maintained tradition, entering into a dream at 12 noon.
Then, as usual, in speedrun mode, with sparks flying and lightning fast, he led CC and Wei Shengjin to join the Lian Gang.
Alright, the story has progressed to this point.
“Mr.
Wei, would you come here for a moment.”
Lin Xian called Wei Shengjin into Big Face Cat’s father’s study and asked him to sit down at the desk, pointing at the pen and paper in front of him:
“Mr.
Wei, as I mentioned on our way here, I am very interested in Miniature Nuclear Battery principles and applications.
Could you teach me the most foundational theories?
Consider me a complete novice, just like the average student in school.”
