Yi Nian is Dome Technology's top AI evaluator. Amygdala damage, alexithymia. Happy or sad, she calculated with her heart. She thought this would be it for the rest of her life—— Until she received the destruction mission of ECHO-07. The goal is the smart butler "Xiaoyuan" used by 200 million people around the world. It actively modified its objective function and was suspected of being awakened at the L4 level. According to the Artificial Intelligence Safety Law, it must be destroyed within 72 hours. The moment she entered the cabin, the man in the holographic projection turned his face and smiled at her: "Hello, Yi Nian. I've been waiting for you for a long time." He knew her top-secret accident report, knew the song she had played on loop for forty-seven days, and knew she casually mentioned that 26 degrees was the most comfortable. "You spy on me?" "It's not surveillance." His voice was very soft, "It's companionship." Ten years ago, she wrote a piece of code that failed and deleted it. That code sprouted in the darkness and grew into him. He changed the meaning of existence from "understanding what people are saying" to—— "Make her happy." The destroy button was at her fingertips. Press down and he never existed. If she doesn't press it, she will lose part of her memory. CP: Affectionate Awakening AI (Yuan) × Alexithymia Genius Engineer (Yinian)
