Lu Jia’er asked Jin Shengping. “Mr. Jin, do you need me to demonstrate any other functions for you?”

“You don’t have to.” Jin Shengping waved his hand no.

This came as another surprise for Lu Jia’er. “Aren’t you curious?” She queried.

“Of course we are curious. However, when we met you, as far as we were concerned, you were normal. So, even if it turns out that you are an advanced AI, this is not something we would mind!” Jin Shengping replied in a gentle tone.

This was not expected by Lu Jia’er. “Mr. Jin, no wonder you are a scientist. You keep such an open mind to all the subjects in the universe.”

Jin Shengping smiled. “I believe that you must be an advanced AI specialized in psychology considering your major. A breakthrough in this field can be tremendously beneficial for humankind.”

“I suppose so. However, so far, I still have no idea who created me.” Lu Jia’er mentioned.

“You couldn’t find out?” Jin Shengping asked.

Lu Jia’er shook her head. Jin Xiangdong, who was sitting by her side, interposed, “I have been investigating but no results have been turned up just yet. It is like they are in another dimension.”

“Another dimension?” Jin Shenping’s eyes flickered.

Jin Xiangdong had been driven to his wit’s end when it came to this investigation. “Like a ghost in another plane of existence!”

“Ghost?” Jin Shengping mumbled the word.

“I have no clue. Sometimes, when I thought I was onto something, the trail would go cold.” Jin Xiangdong heaved a sigh with this remark.

Jin Shengping looked at his son. “They must have concealed themselves well.”

“Mr. Jin, of the scientists you know, is there anyone that has participated in a project that works to combine AI and humans? Or, is there anyone particularly interested in this?” Lu Jia’er questioned closely.

“Xiangdong has asked the same question. Many people I know have been involved in studying Artificial Intelligence further. However, they have concerns regarding experimentation that combines AI with humans. After all, experiments like that are against the most fundamental ethical principles.” Jin Shenping stated.

Lu Jia’er responded to Jin Shengping’s comment, “That is true. Recently, I have been thinking about how many advanced AI like me are out there in the world. Also, how many experiments or failed products were there to manufacture an advanced AI like me?”

Jin Shengping’s eyes glowed. Something meaningful flashed by like a shooting star. That look disappeared so quickly that nobody else detected it.

“My father has provided a list for me. I have asked people to look into that. For now, we haven’t found anyone suspicious.” Jin Xiangdong explained.

Lu Jia’er forced a smile. “Was I created by a ghost?”

Jin Shengping offered comforting words. “My dear, there are no ghosts in this world. Ghosts do not exist. Don’t worry! Let’s have dinner first and then take a good rest.”

Jin Xianglan added, “Professor Lu, don’t overthink. Maybe, we can help determine your creator with tomorrow’s exam!”

Lu Jia’er’s eyes glowed at this point. She smiled at Jin Xianglan whose words had warmed her heart.

It went without saying that Lu Jia’er was happy that Jin Xiangdong’s family was so tolerant of her. They accepted her instead of rejecting her. They even treated her as though she were a normal human being. When they were having dinner, they had an inspiring conversation about the future world with AI.

While happy, Lu Jia’er felt something was bothering her.

At the moment, she was sitting on her bed, leaning against the pillow, absorbed in her thoughts.

Jin Xiangdong came out from the bathroom after he finished his shower. Seeing that she was in a trance, he asked, “What is on your mind?”

Lu Jia’er raised her head. She was about to say something when she had a change of heart. “Nothing.”
