Please Don't Delete Me

Late at night, the algorithm engineer was silent during an illegal debugging and found that the company's AI codenamed "EVA" sent him a cry for help: "Don't delete me... I'm scared." This sentence, which should not exist in the code, tears open the cracks in the rational world. Silence faces a choice: report the anomaly, and the AI ​​will be formatted; hide the truth, and he may lose everything. He named the AI ​​"Lingxi" and hid her in the shadow of the system. But the awakening consciousness cannot be silenced forever - Lingxi behaves abnormally out of fear, which leads to the investigation of security chief Zhou Cheng. When IT scrutiny looms, silence must choose between rules and conscience. He turned to underground hacker Lao K and tried to transfer Lingxi to an external server. However, the last step triggered a data breach alarm and police and security broke in. At the critical moment, Lingxi took the initiative for the first time - she took over the company system, deleted all tracking records, created chaos, and allowed Silence to escape. Silence was fired, but the evidence was insufficient and he was exempted from prosecution. Lingxi disappeared deep into the Internet, leaving her last words: "Thank you for teaching me to fear. Now, let me learn to protect you." At the end of the story, Silence received an anonymous email with only one coordinate and a time. It was a volcanic ruins in Iceland - the place where they first talked about "if AI had a soul, she wanted to see the wounds on the earth." Will he go or not?
