101 Avatars
9. Judith the Judes and AI5203

Kaiser then continued to introduce us to a girl who might be in her Middle School age who seemed to be reading her little book with fun while lying down in a position face down in the corner of the room.

“Include, she's my only sister, Judith.  Since no one had been watching him at home since the death of our parents, and I would have been here all day, if I hadn't been on campus, then Judith would have stayed here.”  Kaiser introduced his sister.

“Hai, I am Adrian, and this one beside me, my brother Syifa.  Greetings know.”  I try to be friendly with him.

However, Kak Kaiser's younger sister just glanced at us with a flat expression that looked quite scary to me while saying, “Dumbass!” Then continue reading the book.  What an impolite gesture!  I can't believe Kaiser has his own problems.

After that, Kaiser introduced us to a computer AI responsible for the collection and analysis of lab data as well as the security defense of the lab headquarters called Kak Kaiser as AI5203.

I also recalled our conversation with Kaiser Brother yesterday.  Based on my memory, Kaiser's brother should have brought us here to meet 2 people, one of them Prof. Melisa, and the other one is one of the inventors of Hoho Game, Prof. Indro Nuryono's?  Where is the last person?

Out of curiosity, I asked Kaiser.  However, Kaiser's reply, really surprised me.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce it with details huh?  AI5203, an AI that contains the memory of Professor Indro Nuryono.”

“Ah, apparently yesterday that Brother meant by introducing us with Prof. Indro Nuryono, not the real one, but just this AI?  As expected, Professor Indro had actually died on the night of the disaster huh?”  I asked to confirm looking disappointed.

“What do you mean ‘only’, huh?!  What an impolite human being!  Although I was only a substitute for Professor Indro Nuryono's consciousness, but I also had a feeling that would be hurt if treated disrespectfully.”

But I did not expect, it was the AI who answered him with a voice like talking to humans, not AI, complete with a tone of voice that clearly shows the expression sulking.

Though the AI I know from what I learned in High School should be just an artificial intelligence system that is placed on an electronic device or robot to perform the functions of their tools automatically. AI will only answer your questions as programmed in their data.  They will error when asked about things that are not programmed in their data.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. AI.  I didn't mean it.”  I also finally reflexively responded to his words with an apology so much like the sensation of talking to a real human.

“What is this, I apologize to the machine?!”  My name is in my heart.

May I have suffered from objectophilia unknowingly?  No, it's wrong.  From the start it was weird not me.  The strange thing is that this AI can speak expressively like a human.

“Hmm, good if you are aware of your mistake.  Don't repeat again.”  Answer the AI by responding to my apology.

I can only laugh at it in front of the others.  But actually, I was crying internally in my heart.  I have doubted myself, lest I really have objectophilia.

“Surge!  I want to pass.  Stupid fool!”  I too fell out of my daydream.  Without me noticing, Judith had been beside me and asked me to step aside to pass by.

I took two steps back and breathed while rubbing my chest.  My gaze that was bowed, involuntarily glanced at the title of the book that Judith was reading.

Spontaneously my whole body was goosebumps in an unpleasant way because of it.  I also feel sorry for Kaiser.  Apparently, my problem with Kak Syifa's bulldozer power is nothing compared to Kak Kaiser's problem with his sister.

I felt a pat on my shoulder.  Apparently, it was Kaiser who patted me on the shoulder and said, “I'm sorry my sister.  He is actually a good boy, although a bit jud.ith, you are back yes.”.

Kaiser seemed to be swiftly replacing his sentence in the middle with cold sweat pouring down his temple as soon as the figure named Judith re-entered the room after coming out for only a few seconds.

I patted Kaiser's shoulder back as a gesture of encouragement.  The more I know Kaiser, the more I know he's just a normal human being with his own problems.

After that introduction, Professor Melisa also gave me time to look around before getting into the core of the problem.  Apparently, my amazed look at this place was so clear in the eyes of people.  I was embarrassed by it too.

As for Kak Syifa preferring to remain seated in a chair, it seemed uninterested by this brilliant mecha scene.  Apparently, Kak Syifa's hatred of virtual physics has remained the same since the death of our first brother, Kak Faridh.

Of course I also hated the avatars who had killed Kak Faridh.  However, that does not mean we have to abandon the development of the era of virtual physics.  You see, science and technology can not only damage human civilization, but can also prosper depending on how it is used.  Each one returns to the human being.

After I had enough of my curiosity, Professor Melisa and Kaiser began to explain what kind of creature we were dealing with.

An amazing fact was heard in our ears.

That's where we finally know the fact that the origin of all Hoho game disasters was from Professor In Gu's betrayal to Professor Indro who deliberately implanted a virus chip into the main server on duty to monitor the development of Hoho game in one of the test cities, namely the City of Jakarta, which contains a data bank of avatars of Hoho game players throughout the city.

As a result, the avatars evolved so as to have their own consciousness complete with their physical bodies.  Unfortunately, the awareness the avatars gained came from the accumulated emotions players had arising from their fights within the game.  An emotion that is very unstable and only has the instinct to fight.

And the Avatar with such labile emotions was allowed to escape into the world.  As a result, the destruction of the Night Disaster Hoho Game.

Knowing the harsh reality, I could not forgive a professor named In Gu, another professor who was said to be the inventor of Hoho games next to Prof. Indro Nuryono's.

Professor Melisa and Kaiser continued their explanation.

From their explanations, including the Avatar Mantis and Sly Dark that I had defeated, a total of 68 avatars had been exterminated, leaving 31 avatars still roaming freely in the streets.  Because these avatars have the ability to be able to mimic a human perfectly that can even easily pass security checks on the plane, it does not rule out the possibility that they will sneak and hide out of Jakarta City.

However, thanks to cooperation with the government both from within the country and abroad that prohibits the mobilization out of every individual recorded as a resident of the city of Jakarta on the night of the disaster, including surveillance of the WNA and foreign tourists who were ill-fated to be there on the night of the disaster, for the last 5 years, it can be prevented.  At least, that was until a few months ago.

Because of what the basis is, the police suddenly revoke the supervision order and even announced Kak Kaiser, precisely Avatar Bomber, as a suspect in the case of the Hoho Night disaster game.

We can assume that among the remaining 31 avatars, there may be those who have slipped out of town or even abroad who have now escaped scrutiny.
