Lu Jia’er put on a sardonic grin. “Then what are you going to do to your two most flawless works!”
Jin Shengping remained as calm as ever. “You will continue to be a professor in psychology and Xiangdong will still be my son.”
“Do you think we can pretend as if nothing had happened when we know the truth?” Lu Jia’er retorted.
“I cannot force you to pretend like nothing has happened. But I do hope you can try to accept the facts.” Jin Shengping replied.
“What if we don’t?” Lu Jia’er stared at him.
Jin Shengping gazed at her for a few seconds before he responded to those words. “Life is nothing but a cycle of birth and death.”
“Is that really your answer?” Lu Jia’er questioned him.
Jin Shengping shook his head. “Jia’er, can I call you Jia’er? In some places, you are different from what we are. But we are more alike than different. You are not only an advanced AI but a human being. Your existence is not without meaning. You are significant to the development of the psychological field.”
“Don’t try to sway me. You will never understand. Some of the differences between you and I mean that you view some things as minor while they mean the world to me. I cannot be the master of my fate and I have to follow your orders on everything. I am your puppet and your tool.” A string of sentences escaped Lu Jia’er’s lips. She still sounded calm but this was an accusation.
“Jia’er, I understand the fear and resistance in your heart. But trust us. We will not hurt you! You are like our child.” Jin Shengping stated.
“Child?” Lu Jia’er sneered again. “The biological child of yours is the one lying in that secret lab, not us!”
Jin Shengping answered, uttering his words slowly, “From the perspective of blood relations, the Xiangdong lying in the secret lab is my biological child. But think of all the energy and efforts we put into you both, Jia’er, you are my child as well!”
“No, I am not your child. I am just a test subject, a product of your twisted paternal love! I don’t know how many failed cases there were before I was successfully created. But I do know that one day, when I won’t listen to you, when I fight back and struggle, either my soul will be eliminated or my body will be destroyed! You will show no mercy to me!” Lu Jia’er argued.
Jin Shengping smiled. “Your analysis on yourself is reasonable. It means that you have a strong will to stay alive.”
“Don’t try to interpret my thoughts. My life and death are but a word for you!” Lu Jia’er said.
“I am glad that you have a clear grasp of the situation you are in. But I do think that you need to calm down now. Think with a sober mind. Don’t have any extreme thoughts due to a spur of the moment impulse. That could result in irredeemable consequences.”
Lu Jia’er couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Am I to assume that you are afraid of something by saying those words?”
“I am afraid of nothing. I just hope you can face your true self!” Jin Shengping defended himself.
Lu Jia’er looked at Jin Shengping. Standing in front of her, he appeared to be kind, just like any loving father. But the fact was, he was a formidable father.
Lu Jia’er said nothing more. Jin Shengping must have conversed with her with sincerity. Indeed, he would not harm her. And yes, she needed to think calmly, about herself, about the future and about… how to escape.
