Chapter 46: AI Conversation
Bella was sleeping once again but who could blame her? Jason had just dicked her down.
But Jason was left with his thoughts, he sat up on the bed and wondered what sort of world this was. What kind of future awaited them?
Was this all there was to life? Live until they\'re devoured by zombies.
[Ding!]
[Mental Condition Status Changed!]
[Are You Okay, Jason?]
Chronos asked and this surprised Jason because Chronos had never spoken to him as an individual before as long as it doesn\'t pertain to a quest.
"What? Of course, I\'m not... I don\'t know what to do right now, I feel empty..." Jason thought to himself, he couldn\'t help it because he no longer had a distraction.
He had to face reality and he didn\'t like it but he also felt that this might awaken something dark in him as he already had blood on his hand.
[Error: A Human Body Is Made Up Of 78 Organs!]
Chronos responded and Jason cringed the moment he heard because he didn\'t understand how this had to do with anything.
"And they said AI is the future. Chronos, you\'re stupid as fuck!" Jason thought to himself but this was his way of communicating with Chronos.
[Chronos Has A Sense Of Humor Too! Do You Want To Talk About It?]
Chronos was showing a side of itself that Jason didn\'t even know existed.
Jason chuckled the moment he heard this, he didn\'t know that Chronos was this versatile but now he understood why his character template had a stat for mental state.
Perhaps, this was the reason Chronos acted as a therapist of some sort.
"I don\'t know what is wrong so how can I talk about it?" Jason responded, he sounded irritated because how couldn\'t he know what was wrong with him?
[Chronos Recommends You Talk To Rachel!]
"Huh? Rachel? Why the hell will I talk to Rachel about this?" Jason responded.
"Chronos Has Detected That Your Dopamine Levels Peaks When You Are Talking To Her!]
Chronos responded and this prompted Jason to raise a brow in disbelief.
He couldn\'t believe what he was hearing, what was Chronos insinuating by this?
"Why the fuck will I talk to Rachel?" Jason responded in denial but Chronos was right.
Jason felt at peace with Rachel and this was why he could confide in her about his problems.
He wasn\'t having sex with her yet he could only show her a form of emotional vulnerability that he couldn\'t even show to the girl he was fucking.
"Ha! Maybe you do have a point..." Jason thought to himself, rethinking his earlier answer.
"But I don\'t think that is why I\'m empty... What can I do to feel driven or have a purpose... I killed a man today and I feel like absolute shit," Jason thought to himself.
[You Do Have A Purpose!]
Chronos responded, Jason wondered why all his responses had an exclamation mark but it didn\'t matter as long as he got his message across.
If someone told Jason that he would be having a mental conversation with some AI in his mind, he would have called them crazy.
"What?" Jason asked reluctantly.
[Protect Those You Care About! Protect Yourself!]
Chronos responded and Jason sighed, this was one of the most cliche answers he had heard all day.
"And what if you ask me to kill them?" Jason asked because he knew certain decisions were not up to him. After all, Chronos had already made him stain his hands with the innocent blood of a child even though he didn\'t do it directly.
[Chronos Only Eliminates Threats Or Potential Threats!]
Chronos responded but this was bullshit, there was no way a harmless kid could be a threat and Chronos even once presented the option of abandoning Clementine to save his skin.
Jason was yet to figure out its angle but he wasn\'t too comfortable with everything that was going on.
Chronos told him he had to save the world or was it to survive?
What was the main objective of all of this so far, Chronos hasn\'t given him an end goal or hints on how Jason should save the world.
Chronos didn\'t force Jason to do anything he didn\'t want to do, Jason had 100% control over his choices as long as he was ready to incur the penalties.
"Thanks, Chronos... For being useless that is..." Jason said but something quickly crept up in his mind. He had a question he wanted to ask.
"So tell me Chronos. Am I the only one with a system?" Jason asked but he got no response from Chronos.
This has been a question on Jason\'s mind because if he wasn\'t the only one then it sort of removes the uniqueness of Chronos.
And Chronos\' reluctance to answer didn\'t ease his paranoia because he had no reason not to answer such a simple question.
Jason was surprised that the day had flown by, the sun would set soon and he knew that if it did without Clementine or Sam returning then it would be safe to assume that they abandoned them even though he didn\'t like the thought of that, he had no other choice than to entertain it.
Jason was making an educated guess here but he couldn\'t help but wonder what Rachel was doing. They have been in their room throughout today, they hadn\'t even come out for fresh air but that is to be expected, it has been an exhausting couple of days.
They needed to catch their breath and he understood, he too needed to rest but he couldn\'t close his eyes for some reason.
He took a step outside to take in some fresh air, he had to be on guard so the ladies could rest, this was his duty as a man for the traditional roles were slowly creeping back into humanity.
Jason didn\'t know if other humans might have the same idea as they did to take refuge in a motel or if a stray zombie would find its way here.
So far, Jason wasn\'t worried about the zombies because they were slow and he could handle them if it came to it but what he worried about were the dogs and other animals that could potentially be infected.
"Huh? Is that...?" Jason thought as he saw Clementine in the distance with two kids, this was the last thing they needed, more mouths to feed but Jason also knew that this act meant that Clementine still had her humanity intact so he had mixed feelings about it but where was Sam?
