Episode 11

A'Zheng.

I can't let anything happen to you,

what's wrong with you?

A'Zheng.

Please wake up now, please do wake up.

A'Zheng, please wake up!

A'Zheng I'm begging you.

I'm begging you not to leave me.

Greetings, Lao Jin.

A'Zheng you're awake.

We should make a cake.

Zhi Yan will be back soon,

let us make a surprise for her when she returns.

A'Zheng.

Zhi Yan has passed away.

She's no longer with us.

Do you remember?

Not here.

Not, not here.

Yes.

She passed away.

Now,

it's just you and me left.

It is a pity, Lao Jin.

I like Zhi Yan.

I like us three being together.

Yes.

I also like the three of us together.

Don't make a sound.

Perhaps Zhi Yan forgot her key.

It's someone from the Ageing Committee,

the Core Robot Management Department must have told them.

They've come to take you away.

No, I won't let them take you away.

I won't let them take you away.

What can I do?

A'Zheng.

Come here quick.

If you see nothing and no-one

opens the door then no-one is there!

Apologies Mr Jin.

Once we are given instructions to work,

we must persist until we get a response.

Also please understand

I have come today to replace your Core Robot.

According to your physical exam report

and the relevant social security provisions

we must change your Core Robot to a new type.

Don't even think about it.

Mr Jin,

your D series Core Robot

is already seriously out of date.

It's not able to take care of you responsibly.

We must take it back.

At the same time we'll give you a new type

of home medical insurance robot.

These are our ministry regulations

to keep you in good health.

By the way Mr Jin,

where is your previous D series Core Robot?

My Core Robot

is already gone.

Yesterday morning on the way back from the shops

it got lost.

Lost?

Then you need this new Core Robot even more!

Now you're living alone you won't be in good health.

With her taking care of you,

if anything happens she can notify us and the hospital.

I already said I don't want it!

Hurry and leave.

And don't come again okay?

Mr Jin.

Aren't you making things difficult for me?

I am just following the rules.

Besides, if I don't come,

one of my colleagues will instead.

Mr Jin,

if you don't agree to take her today,

then I will have the Core Robot Department

search your home.

To ensure

all expired Core Robots are destroyed.

Fine, fine.

I'll take it.

Fantastic.

Qiang Wei, come in.

Mr Jin,

this is your replacement

new series home healthcare Core Robot.

She's called Qiang Wei.

Now let me instruct you on using it.

Okay okay, now hurry and go.

Go quickly. Mr Jin!

Don't bother me again.

Mr Jin! Go quickly

Off you go, quick. I've more to say...

I've not finished! So talkative.

Off you go.

Mr Jin!

Mr Jin!

Really.

Greetings, Mr Jin.

I am called Qiang Wei.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

You are now confirmed as my main user.

I will take care of your health.

It is now midday nap time, please go to sleep.

To... to sleep?

Come on.

You both go out, quickly. I'll do this.

Go on out, hurry.

Password?

What's the password?

Come on, come on.

Are you the Core Robot Department teacher?

I was looking for you.

Yes.

But I'm on lunch break, come back this afternoon.

Wait, wait!

I really need to speak to you.

What is it then?

Well...

You see...

I just wanted to ask...

is the art class Core Robot ready for this afternoon?

Hasn't someone from

your art class already sorted this?

They've already taken it, go find them.

Teacher!

Teacher, teacher!

Teacher.

So this history class Core Robot,

is it ready yet?

Goodness you're annoying.

There are dedicated classmates in charge of this.

What are you worrying about?

Teacher!

Although I'm not one of the dedicated people,

but I...

I'm very concerned with the teaching arrangements of the school

and I also hope to contribute

to the management of Core Robots in our school.

Actually,

the real purpose for me coming to you...

is...

I want to volunteer for an internship here.

So that's it.

It's rare to see such good intentions.

Come on then, what's your name?

I'll sign you up for that.

Great, great.

Thank you teacher, thank you.

My name is Qiao Yuan.

I'm a second year computer science student.

Qiao Yuan.

Okay, I'll find you there.

Okay, okay.

No problem, my pleasure.

I'm off, bye bye!

Thanks.

That was way too thrilling.

You did great, I'll buy you a meal later for sure.

This teacher takes a long break at noon every day.

Should we go eat for now?

Yes You You,

let's think of a solution and then come back.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

You need a temporary female Core Robot?

Okay yes, then come and pick it up later.

When did we get this robot?

Fine.

I'll load you with a new program.

You two wait here.

Teacher Wu shouldn't be back, I'll take a look.

You You.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

We meet again.

Why are you here?

Are you following me?

Yes.

I don't want anything else,

I just want to find Jiang Li fast.

If you give her to me I'll leave immediately.

I'm also looking for Jiang Li, as she's disappeared.

She's disappeared?

Don't worry.

Me and my friends are looking for her,

she should be on the school grounds.

She was likely mistaken for a school Core Robot.

Let's hurry and look.

May I ask your name.

I'm Cheng Shi Guang.

What is the purpose of your visit?

Come to catch up with an old friend, have a chat.

Dr Jin dislikes small talk.

Will your conversation regard philosophy?

I will try my best.

In addition, please do not get him too excited.

Long time no see, Lao Jin.

Qiang Wei.

Why did you let them in?

This person claims to be an old friend.

I have already reminded him

to ensure he has a deep conversation with you

so that you do not get bored.

That's not possible, you hear?

This person is shallower than you.

Qiang Wei,

get some tea.

I'll have coffee.

Thanks.

I have detected you have a pacemaker.

With your heart condition, caffeine is not recommended.

These things really know everything Lao Jin.

Then,

I'll have a glass of lemonade.

Thanks.

Qiang Wei, wait a second.

Take this away.

I'm not hungry.

But you have not finished eating.

I said I'm not hungry!

My old friend,

how are you?

Can't you see?

I'm great, thanks.

I recently heard

that Zhi Yan passed away.

I regret not being able to attend her funeral.

No matter,

weren't you the one that sent wreaths?

Wreaths?

Not you then?

I should have guessed.

It must have been from your wife Mei Rong,

Mei Rong is a good woman.

We divorced a long time ago.

Excellent.

You didn't deserve her at all.

This is better for her.

I just didn't have the time to spend with her,

and it was her who asked for the divorce.

There's plenty of polite words we can say,

let's get to the point.

What do you want?

Listen Lao Jin.

I know we had disagreements before,

but...

Not disagreements.

We were in complete opposition.

Lao Jin,

from a personal point of view, it's possible to advance this way,

but from a scientific viewpoint

it's not.

At one time

I, you, Li Jianwei

we were the best team in the world!

We were young and wild.

We had no worries.

We have created the greatest

scientific research achievements in the world.

We won the Nobel Prize and hardly took it seriously.

However, it's all because Li Jianwei

leaves as abruptly as that.

He abandoned our oath

and our team had to be disbanded.

Originally...

Originally it was possible to reach

this singularity of this world.

Cheng Shi Guang, do you know

if Jianwei didn't return to his family that year,

he would have completely lost

his time with Bi Jun in the last few years.

If I didn't go home,

I'd have lost the last few years of being with Zhi Yan.

I don't regret it.

I'm telling you this and you're still ignoring it!

But at this time we were so close to success!

Lao Jin, so close! This close.

We could have created conscious Core Robots!

If it's not your destiny than it shouldn't be forced.

You're such a rich man now.

Famous, profitable,

is this not enough?

Of course it's not enough!

Compared with progressing technology and

developing society with our own hands,

you tell me Lao Jin,

what's fame and fortune?

It's nothing. I'm telling you it doesn't matter.

I'm telling you, the coming of the singularity

is the inevitable result of the development of social civilisation.

We were the ones who could have made history

and our achievements

would have been recorded in the annals of history!

Like I said, if it's not your destiny...

Maybe in the next life.

No.

No.

Lao Jin.

No need.

There's no need to wait for the next life.

Now is fine.

What do you mean?

Do you know, Lao Jin,

that Li Jianwei cheated us all.

In fact, he never stopped researching conscious robots.

He succeeded.

You're saying

he's already created a conscious Core Robot?

No.

I'm saying

he created four.

I...

Resisting?

What do you want?

I had a hard time relying on connections,

I just found you this new job.

Job?

I...

I'll kill you, I'll kill you!

Still resisting, still resisting.

I'll kill you!

Still resisting.

Peng Da Qi.

What is this place?

What is this place?

Director Ye,

have you never been to a place like this?

I tell you,

places like this are becoming more and more popular.

But

only members can enjoy it.

Director Ye,

Welcome to Seven Hells Core Robot fighting club.

You're saying

you caught a conscious Core Robot made by Li Jianwei

and you let him go?

I didn't let him go.

He escaped.

Then what can I do.

Li Jianwei is too cunning,

I really can't work out how he did it.

Li Jianwee's consciousness program

is like an abyss

or a black hole.

I really can't see clearly what it actually is.

So?

So,

I want you to help me with it.

Help me look into this, how this code works.

This key to life created by Li Jianwei,

what on earth is it?

Lao Jin.

I remember this was what you were best at before, right?

No.

I don't want to get involved.

Don't rely on me!

If it was Li Jianwei sitting here asking you this right now

what would you say?

Maybe.

I know it.

You were the same before.

Li Jianwei asks you to go east, you go east.

No, you're wrong.

I'm not scared of him, I understand him.

I am certain

that everything he does is filled with affection.

Li Jianwei's greatness

doesn't lie in any world-renowned achievements.

Rather it lies in the fact that he always pays

attention to the destiny of human civilisation.

He cares about this.

All excuses.

Cheng Shi Guang.

Do you know why you can't achieve what Li Jianwei did?

The biggest difference between you two

is that you never cared about human emotions.

If you don't even care about human emotions

how can you possibly produce

a machine with emotions?

Enough!

It really seems that there

is nothing left to talk about between us.

Professor Jin.

Excuse me.

Are we still playing hide and seek?

Are you looking for me?

A'Zheng, go!

A'Zheng, go quickly, quickly!

I seemed to hear the voice of Zhi Yan, has she returned?

Little brat.

Don't talk to him.

Are you waiting for Zhi Yan?

What are you doing!

What are you doing! What are you doing!

Let go of me!

I am waiting for Zhi Yan to come home.

Myself, Zhi Yan and Lao Jin live together happily.

I've got it.

That was the year Li Jianwei gave you that

D series Core Robot right?

I wouldn't expect that you still had it after so many years.

Looks like since Zhi Yan left

you've kept this old antique for company, right?

It has nothing to do with you!

Get out of here!

Lao Jin.

Seeing as we're old friends

I'll help you by taking him away, help get him destroyed.

Don't you dare!

Lao Jin, don't get excited.

I'm afraid you can't even

imagine how we destroy Core Robots nowadays.

We make them walk into the machine themselves.

Do you know, the site is so interesting.

You can see their legs shaking.

But their heads turn into a puddle of blue liquid.

Of course,

when there is no crusher we will use a simpler method.

External damage. Alert.

Don't hurt A'Zheng.

Don't hurt A'Zheng! Alert. External Damage.

Don't!

Alert. External damage.

Fine, what do you want?

Alert. External damage.

I'll tell you anything.

Alert. External damage.

Isn't that right?

External damage.

Lao Jin,

I feel you looked the same when you were young

how are you still the same as before?

What should I say to you?

It won't do!

Look at this code.

Tell me what it is.

I remind you,

if you dare play any tricks,

I will tell him to take his neck

and snap it.

So?

Can you see anything?

This is Li Jianwei's coding style.

Then tell me,

is this the consciousness code?

Can this program open the singularity?

Tell me!

Unfortunately, not really.

This code is obsolete.

What?

I'm afraid you don't know

Core Robot fighting has become more and more

popular overseas in recent years.

Like here,

it only takes 45 minutes to fly here from China

so it's perfect for some weekend fun.

It's a pity these stupid machines

won't cause harm because of Asimov's Law.

You can only rely on inputting

some Muay Thai into their programming,

or Wing Chun!

To be honest,

it's just that this three-dimensional

King of Fighters is not entertaining at all.

You're different.

You're conscious.

You can make your own judgements.

Compared with those stupid machines

you're so much better.

This way

I can make a fortune!

Peng Da Qi.

Why should I listen to you?

Do you think you can force me?

Look closely.

He's a Core Robot!

Speak, how many of you are there?

You are Li Jianwei's Core Robot right?

You're able to hide your true identity

and can pretend to be human.

I know your secret.

You're conscious robots.

You

and these two boys.

Maybe there are others.

I imagine

if I post this on the internet people will chase them

and attack them.

Treat them like monsters.

Experiment on them, or just destroy them!

Dare threaten me.

I bought this from a dealer.

A collar-type Core Robot suppressor.

How is it, does it feel good?

Oh right,

I've uploaded that video to the internet,

and only I know the password.

If you resist again

I'll let that video spread all over the world.

The whole world will know!

Director Ye.

Actually, I just want money.

Work with me for a few months,

these three months will be enough.

I promise to destroy the video afterwards.

Then

we can go our separate ways, all debts paid.

How about it?

Peng Da Qi,

no way.

Hello,

are you here to register a new Core Robot?

Yeah.

Are you the owner?

Yes.

Successfully registered.

What's his code name?

Starving Wolf.

Impossible.

Impossible!

This is obviously from a Core Robot's root programming.

How can it be useless? It can't be useless!

This is just part of the code.

Furthermore, this copy is incomplete.

From what I know of Li Jianwei

what he values most is probably the first conscious

Core Robot prototype he created.

If you want to find the key to life,

you must first find the right prototype.

As far as Li Jianwei is concerned

that's the mother of creation.

The beginning of everything.

I swear, everything I've said is true.

I know, Lao Jin.

You don't dare lie to me.

I can't help you with anything else.

Let A'Zheng go.

Let him go.

Are you okay?

Aut... Autumn is here.

Zhi Yan loved Autumn.

Aut... Aut...

Ginkgo Tree.

Turns gold.

Gold. Gold. Gold.

Lao Jin.

Look, these so-called emotions

you keep talking about have worn you down.

You're just like a pathetic creature now.

I can tell you

useless things like feelings?

I don't need them.

You...!

A'Zheng.

Then what about February 1890?

Van Gogh in his house in Provence, France

learned that his brother Theo had just had a son.

He was very excited.

He immediately wrote to congratulate him.

Ah, my dear brother.

I wish to paint you a picture to hang in the bedroom.

Some large branches of an Almond tree

against a blue sky background.

I am Jiang Zi Ya, I am fishing on the Weishui River shore.

Then a person came.

I am King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa.

I want to find Jiang Shang

to help assist me defeat the cruel King Zhou.

I am King Zhou.

I want to create a wine pool, and forest of meat.

Even if I spend all the wealth in the world,

I want to please my beauty.

What is going on?

King Wu defeated Zhou,

Jiang Taigong fishes,

and those who wish took the bait.

I am Da Ji.

Human face is like peach and plum, heart is like snake and scorpion.

An Yi.

But I am a mirror that can reflect both

desire and innocence.

Sis.

An Yi is playing Da Ji!

Come on!

Move it!

Ye Kun.

They are not your kind,

they are just a bunch of mindless scrap.

They don't feel pain. No suffering.

Think about your family, it's just three months.

In three months you can reunite with them.

Now quick get out there.

Ye Kun.

Get out there!

Jiang Li.

Jiang Li?

Who are you?

Ha Ha, Qiao Yuan, you wait here.

I have to speak to him.

Don't You You.

It's too dangerous alone, I'll come too.

We're at the school, he won't try anything.

You two wait.

An Yi, come with me.

I won! I won! I won!

So amazing, yes!

Yes!

Ladies and gentlemen,

today our fearless and awesome winner is,

Starving Wolf who provided endless surprises!

Go Ye Kun!

I won!

Apologies, you are not a registered user,

so please keep your distance.

Jiang Li.

It's Li Yao, look at me.

I'm your brother.

You said you could prove your connection to An Yi.

Where's your proof?

I can prove it now.

I can restore her original program, remind her of her past.

Don't worry Jiang Li, I'll help you recover.

Be careful, don't mess around with An Yi.

Don't worry.

I'll prove it to you, she's Jiang Li, not An Yi.

How come I've not seen this bracelet of yours before?

Is it just newly released?

You actually have the permissions to modify her files.

Not just her,

I can modify any Core Robot's files.

Purely through ability.

And with this bracelet...

who are you really?

I'm Li Yao.

Li Yao...

Why does this name seem familiar to me?

Okay.
