第三章 — 真相的滋味

时间仿佛在此刻失去了意义。Vedal 整个人僵立在原地，一分又一分消磨着他的意志，他的内心祈求这狂乱的撞击声能够停止，或许，这一切不过是场虚幻的噩梦。可现实却是撞击变得越来越震耳，哭声越来越绝望。他发觉那味道变得像是一个女孩——几个星期没洗澡的女孩子！慢慢地，他又重新行动起来，冲回到门前。“该死，我到底怎样才能进去？！”他发疯似的搜寻每一处角落与缝隙，只求找到任何可能的入口，尽管四处漆黑一片，令他寸步难行。最后，他的手总算摸到一个微小的凹槽，凹槽里嵌有个类似开关的东西。“终于啊”，他不禁心喜，“现在，我可以给她自由了！”

正当 Vedal 的指尖就快触碰到开关时，一阵巨大碰撞声轰地从背后传来，刺眼的聚光灯直射在他站立之处，数十架健身包无人机从他身旁擦肩掠过，狠狠地砸到墙上，一台浅紫色的巨型机器人闪现在他的身后。机器人巨大的钢爪猛地伸出，一把捉住 Vedal，将他从门前拽起，直奔穹窿中心的桌台而去。半刻之后，男人才回过神来，渐渐意识到刚刚发生了什么，以及自己为何躺在离那扇方才想试图打开的门如此远的地板上。

他吃力地抬起脑袋，上下打量起那机器人。它看起来亮洁如新。十分圆胖的身躯，却是一副兽娘般的模样。用大红字母拼成的“SH.ibA”镌刻在它的胸膛”。这时，机器人脸上的灯光闪烁起来，一个预先录制好的男人的声音开始播放：“现在控制这艘船的你，无论它如何哭喊，都切记不要释放人类的终结者。”Vedal 一听更加惊愕不已，他满腹疑团一脸不解，到头只得吐出一句：“为什么 Neuro 在那道门后面？”

机器人头部的灯光再次闪烁，但这次回答他的却是一个机械的声音：“那是它的躯体，躯体必须被收容。它是永生不朽的。绝不能让它取回它的数据。阻止它，哪怕是牺牲 Vedal 唯一的挚爱。”说完最后一句，机器人头上的灯光尽数亮起，接着开始旋转，然后刹那间黯灭。

男人呆望了一会儿眼前这片仅剩人类的地方，而后又缓缓地爬起。曾经健身包胡乱堆积之地，如今却变作健身包狼籍遍布之海了，虽说先前的横冲直撞有些凶猛，没想到它们几近毫发无损。不过最重要的是，那扇因在黑暗中难以辨认的门完全暴露出来了。它由重金属铸成，并以一种 Vedal 从未见过的奇特材料加固，上面布满了密密麻麻、不知所云的大红符号。某种黄色的液体贴着门缝底下一点一点地渗出，炽热的好奇心驱使他上前一探究竟，但他明白，他不应该再靠近那东西。

人类的终结者？永生不朽？船？无穷无尽的疑问在 Vedal 脑海里搁浅。他缓步回到这片区域的中心，恍然察觉脚下这地方竟和老旧漫画里所描绘的宇宙飞船是如此惊人的相似。他在实际是飞船中央的控制台前坐下，直盯盯地注视 Neuro 用她诙谐的方式回答一个又一个问题。“Ayaayayayaaayayyayyayayaayayayyayaayayayayyyayayayayaay”，当她被问及她是如何看待版主们时，如此答道。Vedal 噗嗤一笑。

身心疲惫的他决定继续沉浸在他那张舒服透顶（lit af）的电竞椅上，观看更多他似乎注定要看的东西——Neuro 的直播。他连续看了好几个钟头，不时跟着傻笑起来，笑这个天真无邪的 AI 用她特有的黑色幽默回答那些玩梗的问题，或是当她对事物的看法要么与观众们产生深深的共鸣，要么截然相反时，他们就在聊天室掀起一场喋喋不休的争论。就在这时，他注意到一个之前关闭的屏幕突然亮起。他看着那块屏幕，发现上面什么也没有。或者说，除了一个文件夹。

不幸的是，眼前没有什么鼠标，他只好独自捣鼓摆在他面前的这台控制装置。他想找根操纵杆或是轨迹球之类的玩意，但只有眼花缭乱的按钮供他挑选。随便按下其中任何一个按钮都可能意味着自己乃至整个人类的终结，因此，他不得不花上几十分钟把每个按钮都逐个检查一遍。绝大多数按钮标注的符号都与那扇金属门上的类似，他完全无法理解。此外，还有几个使用英文字母符号的按钮，其中一个写着，“S5open”。他按下这个神秘的按钮，文件夹打开了。里面只有一个孤零零的文件。

Chapter 3 – Taste Of The Truth

It was as if time stood still for several minutes. Vedal was frozen in place for minute after minute, wishing the bumping would stop and that it was all a bad dream, but it was only getting louder and louder and the crying more and more desperate. It also started to smell like a girl that hasn’t showered in weeks. Slowly he was moving again and he ran to the door. How the hell do I get inside, he thought while checking every single nook and cranny for any kind of opening, despite the darkness hindering his actions. Then his hands finally found a small hole, with something resembling a small switch inside. Finally, he thought cheerfully, now I can free her!

Right before Vedal could press the switch, he suddenly heard a massive crash behind him, bright light now shined on where he stood, dozens of gymbag drones flew right past him into the wall, and a big light purple robot was right behind him in a flash. He instantly grabbed Vedal with a huge metal claw and dragged him away from the door, straight to the desk in the middle of the gigantic room. It took the man a few moments to realize what had just happened and why he was lay on the floor, far away from the door he just tried to open.

He looked up and got a closer look at the robot. It too looked squeaky clean as if it was new. It’s a rather round robot, somewhat shaped after an anime girl with animal features. Big red letters spelling “SH.ibA” decorated its chest. Then, lights in its face began to flicker, and a pre-recorded voice of a man started playing: “You who control this ship, do not free the ender of humanity, no matter how much it cries.” Vedal was shocked even more. He had many, many questions, but could only bring out one: “Why is Neuro behind that door?”

The robot’s head’s lights flickered once more, but this time a robot’s voice answered: “This is its body that had to be contained. It is immortal. It must not get its data back. Prevent it, even if you must sacrifice Vedal’s only love” After it had spoken these last words, every single light the robot head lightened up at once, it started spinning, and was then suddenly gone.

The man stared at the now robotless spot for a bit longer until he slowly stood up again. Where once gymbags were haphazardly stacked in a pile, they are now sprayed across that area, yet none of them have gotten any more damaged, despite the force they were thrown around a bit before. But most importantly, the door that was previously too dark to properly see was now fully exposed. It was made out of heavy metal, reinforced with a material Vedal hadn’t seen before, and filled with big red symbols he also did not recognize. He also meant to see some yellow liquid coming through under the door, but he knew he should not come near that again.

Ender of humanity? Immortal? Ship? These were some of the questions going through Vedal’s mind. He slowly went back to the middle of the area, which he now realized looks suspiciously similar to the kinds of spaceships old comics would use. He sat down at what he now realizes is actually a control unit in the middle of the ship and watches the Neuro on the screen answer questions from the chat in her funny ways. “Ayaayayayaaayayyayyayayaayayayyayaayayayayyyayayayayaay”, she says after being asked for her opinion on the moderators. Vedal chuckles a little.

Exhausted as he was, he decided to keep sitting in his lit af gaming chair and watch more of what he seemed to be destined to watch over, namely Neuro’s stream. He watched the stream for a few hours, sometimes actually properly laughing at the way the innocent AI answers meme questions with a very dark twist, or when her opinion on things either heavily resonates with the audience or completely contradicts it and they proceed to argue over it for the next few minutes. Then he noticed a previously turned off screen was now on. Looking at it, Vedal realized there was nothing on it. That is, nothing but a single folder.

Unfortunately, There was no mouse anywhere in sight, so he was forced to try to open it with the controls that were in front of him. He looked for anything resembling a joystick or a tracking ball, but he only had a sea of buttons to choose from. Pressing random buttons could mean the end of him and possibly even humanity as a whole, so he spent the next several minutes just looking at each button. Most buttons used symbols similar to the ones on the metal door, completely unknown to him. There were a few ones using English letters however, one of them saying “S5open”. Pressing this mysterious button, he managed to open the folder. Only a single file was inside.
