Episode 3: Let’s Talk, Let’s Talk!

“No! Where are you going!”

The slim man ran towards the fat man who was much bigger than him.

“Put that down and go! You thief!”

“Hey, shit. Let go of that!”

The fat man roughly pulled the thin man’s hand away and punched him in the face.

“Eww!”

The slim man bent down, covering his face.

“Thief, watch your words. Do you think you made this by yourself? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to make this.”

“That’s mine.”

He continued to hold on to the fat man, who was drooling and whose speech was slurred. At that time.

pop-!

An explosion was heard from the building they had escaped from, and flames burst out of the windows.

The skinny boy who had been watching the scene blankly turned around with a face full of shock.

“You, really? You even built a house?”

The fat man chuckled and punched the skinny man in the ribs again.

“Eww!”

The skinny guy who had fallen to the ground got up and pushed towards the fat guy like a cannon.

The wind caused the fat man to fall over, and the trunk he was dragging was pushed far away.

“This kid, for real!”

As he got up from the ground, something black fell from the fat man’s pocket onto the ground.

“… … !”

The two men’s eyes simultaneously fell on the object. Without saying who would go first, the two men engaged in a close combat to grab the object.

The slim one grabbed the object first, but was beaten by the fat one and was in danger of having it taken away.

“It’s nothing.”

When he saw the fat man coming towards him to snatch the object from his hand, the slim man used all his strength and threw the object over the bushes, and beyond.

Whoosh-.

puck-!

The object disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. The fat man’s face was distorted into a sinister grimace.

“Hey, you little shit!”

He started beating the slim guy indiscriminately. He fell to the ground, unable to withstand the blows, but the fat guy, still angry, kicked the slim guy’s body several more times.

“That thing! How much is it! Throw that thing away!”

He suddenly came to his senses as he was kicking his feet in time with the sound of the voice.

He had to find out where it had flown off to quickly. He was hastily walking down the street, dragging the trunk that had been pushed over, when someone grabbed his clothes.

“What, what is it?”

The slim man, covered in blood, grabbed hold of his clothes. He was in such bad shape that it wouldn’t have been strange if he had collapsed and died, but he held on to the fat man with all his might.

“No… … . I, sometimes… … if I throw it in the dirt… … .”

“This kid!”

As I was finally about to separate the slimy one, a dazzling light suddenly came rushing in from the side.

Squeak!

bang!

A truck coming down a hill crushed two men.

* * *

It’s noisy. And cold.

It’s too bright.

huh?

When I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling of a bright room.

What the heck? Why am I lying here?

As I slowly got up, I saw people busily moving around me. The bed I was lying on, and the IV line connected to my arm.

Hospital emergency room.

Why am I lying here?

Oh, by the way.

A strange black object of unknown origin flew towards my head… … .

“Are you out of your mind?”

A nurse came up to me as I was waking up. After looking at my chart, she came over to me, took my temperature, and spoke to me in a businesslike tone.

“You were brought in because you collapsed on the street. The test results show no other abnormalities. You can go home after the treatment you are taking is over.”

“Are you sure everything is okay? I feel a little dizzy.”

“It may be a temporary phenomenon. Please continue to observe the progress, and if the symptoms persist, please come back. If you would like a more detailed explanation, should I call the doctor?”

“No. I just feel a little dizzy.”

“It could be because you’re not wearing glasses. Your glasses are in the basket right next to you, teacher.”

I looked over and saw a small plastic basket on the shelf next to the bed, containing my belongings.

“Please pay at the general affairs department before you leave.”

The nurse just disappeared.

Inside the plastic basket was my cell phone.

27 missed calls.

You’ve done a lot. Manager, senior, section chief. You’ve done it all.

21 characters.

– Where are you, you little shit?

– Why aren’t you coming? They’re making a fuss about you being a slacker.

– Are you rebelling? Are you going to yell at me?

– When you get here, come straight to the manager’s office!

– Why aren’t you answering the phone? If you come in, you’ll die!

A snicker came out.

It’s heartwarming to know that there are people who miss me and look for me even when I’m gone.

This is placed next to the cell phone.

hmm?

That black object is definitely what hit my temple.

Perhaps, since it was an object that was placed next to me when I passed out, he must have thought it was mine and brought it with him.

I picked up the object carefully. It was definitely long and thick.

Yeah, it looks exactly like a glasses store.

By the way, where did my glasses go?

Did it come off when you fell earlier?

As I opened the glasses case naturally, I saw the glasses inside. Compared to the heavy glasses case, the glasses were very light.

Stylish design, clean glasses without a speck of dust.

On the right side of the glasses frame was a logo with a circle and wave pattern.

Is it expensive?

Since I don’t know anything about luxury brands, I don’t know if it’s an expensive brand or not.

Without my glasses, the world isn’t clear, and I keep squinting to see clearly. My head hurts, too.

The reason I have this thought in my head is because, even though it is called a medical school, I need an excuse to try on someone else’s glasses that are not even mine.

I don’t even know who wrote it, but can I use it?

As he thought that, his hands moved and he quickly put on his glasses.

Oh. It’s clear.

[Hello, welcome.]

I took off my glasses when I suddenly heard a man’s voice.

What is it? Who is it?

I looked around, but I didn’t see anyone speaking to me. No, it seemed like no one had heard my voice.

I put my glasses back on as I looked at the nurses and patients busily walking by.

This time, a hologram began to appear on the right side of my vision. It was human-shaped, but it looked like an anime character. It was three heads tall with a large head.

The hologram smiled with a gentle face.

[Hello, welcome!]

“Ugh!”

I took off my glasses again.

what.

What is this?

Are you hearing voices? And hallucinations on top of that?

I said you were crazy, you were crazy, are you really crazy?

I thought about it for a moment and then shook my head.

No. I may be a little crazy, but not this crazy. Hallucinations and visions? That’s ridiculous.

This is obviously something I hear and see because I’m wearing glasses, right? Right?

To confirm that fact, I have no choice but to put on my glasses again.

I glanced around to see if anyone noticed, then carefully brought my glasses up to my eyes.

hmm?

Nothing happened… … .

At that moment, a hologram suddenly appeared on the right side of my vision. For some reason, I felt more hurried than before as I began to speak one after another.

[Hello! Welcome! Legal Professionals’ Bulletin… … .]

Ugh!

I took off my glasses again.

It was real. I really saw and heard things when I put on my glasses. What is this?

No matter how closely I look at it, I can’t see anything like a speaker.

After thinking about it for a moment, I folded my glasses, put them in my upper pocket, and got up from the bed. I went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water and come to my senses.

As I dragged my ringer on the hanger and headed out into the hospital lobby, the news was streaming from the TV hanging on the wall.

Did you get any news about me?

A sitting prosecutor is knocked unconscious after being hit by a flying object!

Contrary to my wishes, the news was reporting on the fire.

< This afternoon, a fire, presumed to be arson, broke out in a three-story building, and fire officials were called in to extinguish the fire. No casualties have been reported so far, but the fire is still spreading and they are having difficulty extinguishing it.

In particular, interest from all walks of life is heating up as it has been revealed that the 'Neo Prometheus Company' was located on the second floor of the building presumed to be the point of ignition.

'Neo Prometheus' is a startup founded by two scientists from KAIST, and last month it attracted public attention by announcing that it had developed the world's first wearable artificial intelligence capable of synchronizing with people.

There have been reports of explosions being heard when the fire started, adding weight to the possibility that arson was linked to AI.

hmm.

Because it's wearable.

'Wearable' means something that can be worn. For example, a hat, a vest, or a watch.

And glasses too.

I slowly took out the glasses I had kept in my upper pocket. The circle and wave logo engraved on the frame.

This is the logo of the company 'Neo Prometheus' that was on the news a little while ago.

No way. Could this be the 'wearable artificial intelligence' that the company created?

Now that I think about it, I think I said something like "welcome" earlier.

There is only one way to check.

I sat down on a chair in the lobby, so as not to be so surprised that I fell over.

Phew.

I took a deep breath and carefully put my glasses on for the fourth time.

This time again, a hologram appeared on the right side of my vision.

But why are you frowning? You were smiling earlier… … .

My thoughts couldn't continue any longer because I heard a creaking sound.

[Ah, let me talk, let me talk! Huh? If I try to talk, turn it off, if I try to talk, turn it off. This isn't like I'm training a mutt!]

uh…….

[If you say hello, at least accept it! When someone speaks, you should listen until the end. How can you stop them in the middle?]

“… … You’re not human, are you?”

The hologram's eyes fluttered slightly at my words. This time, it seemed to have realized belatedly that the screen was not turning off but staying on.

The hologram coughed in vain and opened its mouth with an overly bright smile as if it had never been angry before.

[Hello! Welcome! This is AI3000KN05-03, a specialized artificial intelligence for law!]

“Wow, it really was artificial intelligence.”

The hologram remained silent, blinking its eyes as if waiting for orders.

Well, what command should I give in this situation?

“If it is an AI specialized in law, what functions does it have?”

The hologram answered with a proud face.

[Currently, all laws of the Republic of Korea, including the Constitution, Civil Code, and Criminal Code, as well as over 4 million case laws are stored.]

“Hey. You can find out all about that by looking it up in the law book and searching the internet.”

[It’s not that we’re requesting it from the court, but it’s digitized, so it currently has the largest number of searchable case laws in the country?]

“He doesn’t know anything. There are a lot of case law search sites out there these days.”

[Big data can be utilized as it contains millions of cases of information on scientific investigations and existing police investigations.]

“Well, nothing special?”

Was it an illusion? The hologram's eyes seemed to flash.

[Based on numerous cases, the grounds for prosecution or non-prosecution of a case can be determined in 0.001 seconds, and the recidivism rate of criminals can be measured.]

“That might be useful.”

[With the user's permission, electronic devices within 2m can be detected and hacked.]

“Oh. Is that so?”

[All visual and auditory information that the user encounters can be stored, and all situations can be recorded with the user's permission.]

“This is okay.”

As the compliments poured out of my mouth, the hologram's mouth kept twitching.

Are you sure he's not laughing?

[In addition, it has sunglasses function, infrared detection function, lie detection function… … .]

“Oh, okay. What did you mean by user permission earlier?”

[Permission is required from the registered user.]

“Can you register me as a user?”

[Please tell me your name, occupation, and age.]

“Do Hyeon-gwang. Prosecutor. Thirty years old.”

There was a small buzzing sound for a moment, and then the hologram, which had its eyes closed, opened them.

[Inspector Do Hyun-kwang. Registered as a user of AI3000KN05-03.]

“So now I can use all the functions you mentioned earlier?”

The hologram shook its head.

[Currently, AI3000KN05-03 is in test driving mode. Only sunglasses function and simple conversation are possible. Only one person who is synchronized with AI3000KN05-03 can unlock all the locks and fully utilize the functions.]

hmm.

It's synchronization.

“What exactly does it mean to synchronize?”

[When you synchronize, all of your bio-functions will be linked to mine. Your visual, auditory, and tactile information will be automatically transmitted to me, and brainwave measurements will also be possible. You can even have a conversation by connecting directly to your brain without having to speak.]

What is this? It's like implanting a chip in your head.

[Would you like to sync now?]

No, that's not it.

Just registering as a user and synchronizing are different. Linking the machine and the biological functions. This means the machine is taking complete control of my body.

What kind of crazy person in the world would synchronize with a machine they don't even know what it is, a mechanical device they picked up on the street?

“Allow synchronization.”

That crazy guy is me.
