Chapter 176: AI Alice Vs August Maijune 14

Maijune is originally someone with a nasty temper. She must have gotten angry because you mentioned her Achilles heel'' Su Chenli said and added ''when you meet the other personalities, you will realise what I said to you before. August Maijune is very smart and intelligent. If she could kill more than 200 people in one night, and even set a whole research centre on fire, what can she not do? I have so many plans for August Maijune that is why I asked you to come to Suaw Island to help me'' Su Chenli said proudly.

''Let's talk about it in detail when I come. I am on my way to Suaw Island. Let's talk more when I arrive'' Professor Adia said and hung up. She placed the phone aside and removed an iPad and turned it on. She could see whatever August Maijune did as long as she was in the library. The camera she had placed under the table was highly unnoticeable. If Maijune didn't chance upon it, she would never know.

Professor Adia watched the footage of Maijune and Julieta busy chatting and studying what she thought them today.

Professor Adia was the youngest Professor in the Scientific Research Centre of Eastern University specialised in robots and AI subjects whose latest technology and knowledge in developing an AI that is almost like a human being. The first AI that they developed was sent to the Eastern NIS to work, so after acquiring AI Alice, Su Chenli called Professor Adia to come and take a look and join hands with him in developing AI Alice.

Professor Adia looked at the window as the car drove through the rain that had just started pouring.

''What do you think of Miss Nimoh's class today?'' Julieta asked as Maijune placed a plate of cut fruits on the dining table and sat across her.

''Well, it was good for starters. I think that if we are able to grasp the basics then we will be able to pass the entrance exams. She taught well, just that it was all hard for me to process in one day'' Maijune said as she forked a piece of grapes into her mouth.

"You are right. I realised throughout her teaching that she is really good but, didn't you find her actions a little strange?'' Julieta asked as she also ate some of the cut fruits.

''Strange? How strange?'' Maijune asked curiously and looked at Julieta.

''Maybe I was being a little oversensitive but I just felt that she was looking at you for the most part of the class session. It was a kind of look that you give to something that either fascinates you or turns you off'' Julieta said.

''Really? I didn't take notice of that'' Maijune said.

''Maybe it was just me being overly conscious of the people around us. In any case, what matters is that she is good at what she does'' Julieta said and shook her head.

''Julieta, why did she suddenly ask us about AI and DID patients? I still find that question a little off'' Maijune said.

''You are right. I also find it strange that she would ask us such a question. Do you think she might have known about your condition and decided to ask us to find out your thoughts?'' Julieta asked.

''I don't know, but I will have to see how she teaches from now onwards. In any case, I will be on my guard' Maijune said.

''I will also watch out for any clues from her'' Julieta added.

''Take the last one and let's go and see big sis. She should be home by now after picking Leo Martins from the airport'' Maijune said.

''I'm done. Let's go and see what Mr. Martins brought for us'' Julieta said.

.....

Liyah's villa.

Liyah and Leo Martins were in the hall kissing after they arrived home and the door suddenly opened. Maijune and Julieta were chatting as they went in and stood at the door the moment they saw them.

''Sorry, we will come back later'' Maijune said and pulled Julieta.

''Come back ehre you two'' Liyah said to them.

''Hi, Mr. Martins'' Julieta said shyly.

''Hi, big sis'' Maijune also said.

''What are you standing there for? Come in, as for what we were doing, we can just continue later on'' Leo Martins said shamelessly and Liyah blushed.

''How was the trip? What did you buy for us?'' Maijune said as they went to sit in the hall.

''Liyah told me what happened. I should give you two a reward for protecting my lovely wife'' Leo Martins said.

''Well, we didn't do it to get a reward but if you insist, we won't refuse'' Maijune said and Liyah shook her head.

''Shameless'' Liyah muttered.

''I heard you two were going back to school, so I bought two latest edition purses for you ladies. You can use them when you start school'' Leo Martins said.

''That is such a wonderful gift. We will continue to protect big sis'' Julieta added and they all laughed.

...…

Aaron Saint arrived late at night after a business negotiation that lasted for a long time. He saw the laboratory light on and went there straight. He saw Maijune making a candle. Aaron Saint placed his bag down and went to give her a back hug.

''You are back?'' Maijune asked.

''I missed you'' Aaron Saint said and asked ''candles? What are you making them for?''

''These are scented candles that help you to sleep soundly. I want to replace them with the bed lamp that is always on in the night'' Maijune said.

''What if it gets caught in a big fire?''

''It won't. That is why I am making a stopper for it. Once it burns out to the stopper, it will automatically turn off by itself. By then, the scent would have taken over the room so that you will get a sound sleep'' Maijune said.

''That's really new. I am so proud of you'' Aaron Saint said and Maijune turned to face him.

''Aaron, have you found out any clues about AI Alice's disappearance?'' Maijune asked.

''I have but it reached a dead end. The higher ups are blocking every news on the disappearance of AI Alice but I still managed to find out something today. I heard that D-City Research and Scientific Development Centre is planning to launch an AI with DID disorder but I already asked Leo's grandfather to make sure such a thing never happens. He has connections with the government since he rules the military''

''You did that?'' Maijune asked surprised.

''Yes, as for AI Alice, I only managed to find out that the DNIS authorities had sent it to a laboratory at a place called Suaw Island for it to be destroyed there, so I don't think there is the need to worry about it anymore'' Aaron Saint said and asked ''but, how did you find out about the news? You don't watch the television often''

''The new teacher asked us about our opinion about it. Where did you find her?'' Maijune asked.

''I contacted a professor at D-City Research Institute and he recommended her. He said she was his student before she left to join the Scientific Research Centre of Eastern University after finishing her PhD in Scientific Research Technology'' Aaron Saint and Maijune marvelled.

''Whoa. She must be hot cake then? Did she charge you a lot before accepting to tutor us?'' Maijune asked.

''Not much, but it didn't matter the amount she would ask for. I wanted the best for you'' Aaron Saint said.

''Thank you'' Maijune said and placed her head on his chest.

''You are welcome'' Aaron Saint said and hugged her, feeling content.

...

In the days that followed, Professor Adia who disguised herself as Miss Nimoh was punctual and took her torturing was flawless. She would give them exercise and a lot of assignment for them to do.

When she arrived at her hotel, she would open her iPad and watched the library surveillance camera trying to get all the first hand encounter with the characters of August Maijune. She made her own notes on how she viewed each character. Their strengths and weaknesses and possible ways to strengthen those weaknesses. She wanted to perfect all the loose ends and come out with a perfect plan for integrating the AI into the human August Maijune.

Today, when Professor Adia got back to the hotel, she took out a drawing book and started sketching the face if August Maijune. She was going to use that to make a clone that will fit AI Alice. She had immersed herself into making AI Alice a masterpiece.

She was interested in finding out just how far she could go to break the limits of AIs in the world. Professor Adia took out three journals from her luggage bag. This books contained the different information of each character of August Maijune that she had met before, but there was just one problem. She hadn't met the most volatile personality yet. She only read the information Su Chenli had given her but she needed first-hand experience with her. That is why she had made up her mind. The week to come would be the last time she would spend with August Maijune. She was going to make sure she brings out Mai from wherever she was hiding.
