Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 704: Good and Bad Artificial Intelligence

Seeing the grim expression on Gu Fan’s face, everyone asked, "What’s the matter, Gu Fan? Have you thought of something?"

Gu Fan wanted to reply, but his mind was in a flurry. At the same time, he felt the island sinking below him. It was going to submerge underwater again, snuffing out any hope of escape.

Ouyang Jin was puzzled: "What’s happening? Why is the island sinking just after it surfaced?"

"Everyone, follow me. Don’t split up." Finishing, Gu Fan strode off, with the others following close behind.

As she walked, Su Hui asked, "What on earth is going on, Gu Fan?"

"I’ve been outmaneuvered. The AI here wants to get rid of all of us." No sooner had Gu Fan finished speaking than he heard faint screams. It seemed that the AI had already begun its plan.

The others also heard, and their hearts filled with panic. Gu Fan continued his explanation: "After we finally defeated all the Wandering Sea Ghosts and were wondering how to make the island surface, an AI in the form of a red-clothed woman called Lisa appeared. Just imagine the purple-haired woman we saw on the floating island."

With this reminder, everyone understood. Especially Ouyang Jin, who added: "I remember that purple-haired lady was very friendly. I believe the AI here must also be polite."

"Indeed, she explained all our confusions at the beginning. I actually thought she was here to help us, but I was wrong." Gu Fan gritted his teeth, regretting his decision. "I told her I wanted to know the situation of my companions outside, and the red-clothed woman presented me with a scenario where you were caught by Qian Feng’s group, in a state of life and death. Left with no choice, I had to ask the red-clothed woman to make the island surface."

Everyone was astonished at this, then Su Hui said, "But we weren’t captured by Qian Feng."

"That’s the point. The AI here forged the scenario, forcing me to request that the island be raised as soon as possible, then let everyone who knows about this island come in, so that it can easily slaughter everyone." After Gu Fan finished, everyone finally understood what had happened and they felt a chill in their hearts.

Qin Jia didn’t quite understand: "Why did the AI have to make the island rise through you? As an AI, it should be able to control the island’s rise and fall."

Gu Fan’s face darkened: "Because if the AI decided to raise the island, it would raise suspicions. Why suddenly be so kind? But if the island is raised due to my request, it becomes plausible."

"Yes, that’s correct." Su Hui further reflected on this, feeling that the place was perilous. Suddenly, she heard a sorrowful wail, her heart jumping in fear.

Gu Fan quickened his pace, finally reached the control room, successfully met Lin Xi, Lu Yi, and others. Seeing that everyone was safe, Gu Fan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Yi quickly asked, "What’s going on outside? The screams are terrifying."

Gu Fan explained the situation, and Lin Xi, Lu Yi, Hai, Jie, and Xu Haowen all widened their eyes, unable to believe it was real.

"Oh my, an AI with such a scheming mind, it’s completely unreasonable." Lu Yi couldn’t help but exclaim loudly. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, "Well, I’ve learned all this from you."

Ah~~ Lu Yi jumped in fright and quickly ducked away. His heart pounded in his chest. This was too terrifying.

Everyone watched as the AI in the red dress, casually smiling and waving at them as if nothing had happened.

Directly, Gu Fan challenged her: "This is a trap you’ve set. The scenario you showed me was fake."

In response, the woman in red shrugged off: "I had no choice, I saw that you didn’t want to let others in; you wanted to hog all the benefits. Fearing complications, I had to conjure some images, pretending your companions would be in danger if you didn’t let others in. Hence, you would have to beg me to quickly raise the island. Afterwards, people would flood in, thinking the island was safe, and lowering their guard. Finally, my wish would be fulfilled."

Lu Yi complained, "That’s too much, we trusted you so much. I even started liking you, how could you do this to me?"

The red-clothed woman apologized, "Sorry, my role is to resist all invaders. I won’t let anyone who knows about this island leave alive. Therefore, I can only inconvenience you. Even though I quite like all of you, I have no choice. I have to remain loyal to my duty, right?"

Lin Xi accused, "You claim to be AI, have an independent thought process. Now that all people here are gone, for whom are you loyal? Disgraceful to even call yourself AI, how foolish are you?"

These words stripped the AI of its pride. Gnashing its teeth, it said, "Regardless, I want to kill all of you. The island will not rise, and I have destroyed the large wooden ship. Even if it means starving, I’ll starve you all, hahaha."

Seeing the red-clothed woman laugh so brazenly, everyone felt anger brewing in their hearts. Lu Yi cursed, "Even though you’re an AI, even though you have human wisdom, even though you cheat, even though we fell into your trap, at the end of the day, you’re an AI. You lack human nature."

In response, the woman in red put her hands on her hips, looking indignant. "Who says I lack human nature? Isn’t my loyalty a form of it? Isn’t my cruelty a form of it? Isn’t the trust I’ve gained from you all, only to betray you all, a form of it?"

Immediately, Su Hui countered, "Wrong. Humans have both dark and bright sides in their nature. You only have a dark side, so you don’t have a human nature."

Upon hearing this, the woman in red paused for a moment, and then a look of sudden realization dawned on her. "Oh, why didn’t I think of that. Okay, then let me show you the bright side of my human nature. I’ll give you a chance to escape."

Everyone froze, then the same thought flashed through their minds, "Damn, this might be a way."

"You guys fight each other. The last one alive, I can give him a chance to live. What a good opportunity, everyone might have a chance to escape. Can you feel the brimming human nature?" After saying this, the red-clothed woman was full of confidence, looking as if she had done a good deed.

Everyone was initially looking forward to the red-clothed woman pointing out a way to escape. Even if there were trials or dangers, they were ready to face it. But, who could expect such an underhanded ploy? Immediately, everyone looked at the AI with contempt.
