科齋第A062回:山魈男人 (Mandrill Man)
馬克西姆去找了概念女神,表示願意放棄自己的精神力,讓傑克森變成一個真男人。概念女同意,而傑克森變成了亞裔男人。馬克西姆帶他回到旅館,一位女士熱情地讓他們進去。可是這時,外面爆發了槍戰。
一個名叫薩金的年輕女孩帶著偷來的東西逃跑了,一個男人追到門口。薩金突然轉身,召喚一個機器人向他開火。那男人不肯認輸,也召喚了自己的機器人反擊。薩金跑去找概念女神幫助,找個出路。
薩金毫無貢獻,只好回到旅館,碰巧遇到馬克西姆下樓。馬克西姆認識那個偷竊科技、與其他公司戰鬥以賺取秘密薪水的行屍。薩金簡單地向她講述了自己的經歷。
在未來,當大多數工作都可以由機器人和人工智慧完成時,人類工人淪為了體力勞動者。這本來沒什麼問題,但她還要照顧祖母,而且薩金有絕症,可能活不到一年。現在,有份工作了死者也能賺錢。
人們說死者要賺工資,她需要去問那些在她工作場所附近遊蕩的行屍。於是她去找了一具行屍,那人告訴她,她死後可以成為自家公司的合法資產。她只需要安裝一個大。腦磁碟。
於是,那人把一個磁碟放進了她的腦袋裡。這個磁碟會複製她所有的記憶、本能和反應,讓她死後能像人工智慧機器一樣運作。她甚至可以選擇把工資寄去給祖母,讓她的祖母繼續活下去。這真是太棒了。
太好了。她就這麼做吧。
Maxim went to Concept Woman and would give up her power to let Jackson become a real man. Cincept Woman agreed and he is an Asian Man. Maxim took him back to the tavern and a woman let them inside gladly. Then gunfight broke out outside.
A young girl Sacchine ran away with stolen goods and a man chased her to the doors. Suddenly Sacchine turned around to call a robot to open fire at him. The man wasn't going down, he called his own robot to hit back at her. She ran to Concept Woman.
As Sacchine had nothing to offer, she went back to the tavern and met Maxim coming down the stairs. Maxim knew the Walking Corpse that steals techs and battles other companies to earn secret salary. Sacchine told her about her life stories briefly.
In the future when most job could be done by robot and AI machines, human workers were reduced to manual workers. It's okay except that she had a grandmother to take care of. And she had a terminal illness that could last another year. There's a job.
People said dead people could earn wages and she needed to ask the walking corpses passing oitside hrt workplace. So she went to a walking corpse and he told her. She is a legal asset that can become a company in death. All she need is to install a disk.
So he put a disk in her head. It would copy all her memories, instincts and reaction to be used as AI machine in death. She could even choose to send her salary to keep her grandmother alive. That's just great.
That's great. She'll do it.
