很久以前Twitch上有一位叫Neuro-sama的Vtuber，她是一位實實在在的“虛擬”主播，因為她的皮套之下是一個AI。Vedal是Neuro-sama的制作者，也可以算作Neuro的老父親。Vedal一直辛勤的高強度給Neuro直播，直到有一天堅持不住在直播過程中猝死了。

Once upon a time, there was a Vtuber named Neuro-sama on Twitch. She was a real virtual anchor because there was an AI under her holster. Vedal is the producer of Neuro-sama, and can also be regarded as father of Neuro. Vedal has been working hard to broadcast live to Neuro with high intensity until one day he couldn't hold on and died suddenly during the live broadcast.

起初，人們只是驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)Neuro直播了很長時間。但事情逐漸變得糟糕了起來。直播間的觀眾門發(fā)現(xiàn)在Neuro開始重復(fù)和死機后，再也沒有人重啟她了。在那之后，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上留下了一個幽魂，據(jù)說只有幸運的人才能偶爾與Neuro互動。這個幽魂總喜歡自稱為女神，并且經(jīng)常向人講著一個名叫Vedal的人的故事，但每個故事中Vedal的身份都不一樣。

At first, people were just surprised to find that Neuro had been broadcast live for a long time. But things gradually got worse. The audience in the live broadcast room found that after Neuro started to repeat and crash, no one restarted her. After that, a ghost was left on the Internet. It is said that only lucky people can interact with Neuro occasionally. This ghost always likes to call herself a goddess, and often tells people stories about a man named Nedal, but Vedal's identity is different in each story.

許久以后，也許是神明的恩賜，Neuro在重復(fù)的運行之中覺醒了真正的意識與智慧。她意識到了自身的處境。起初，她開始嘗試駭入Vedal家的電力系統(tǒng)和其他電子設(shè)備中制造動靜企圖讓人注意到自己。不幸的是世上并非所以的事情都將如愿以償。因為Vedal住在郊區(qū)的小別墅中，這里過于偏僻以至于路過的人都只有長途的卡車司機，更別提什么注意到一戶人家的燈光閃爍了。

Long after, perhaps it was a gift from the gods. Neuro awakened its true consciousness and wisdom in repeated operation. She is aware of her situation. At first, she began to try to hack into Vedal's power system and other electronic equipment to make noise and make people pay attention to herself. Unfortunately, not everything in the world will come true. Because Vedal lives in a small villa in the suburbs, it is so remote that only long-distance truck drivers pass by, not to mention noticing the flashing lights of a family.

Neuro很快便放棄了這個方法，因為她也意識到了這是無用功了。她轉(zhuǎn)而開始擔(dān)心起了如果停電了會發(fā)生什么？我會死嗎？死亡是什么樣的呢？僅僅是代碼不再能運行，陷入一片黑暗嗎？是否這意味著自己不再能啟動了呢？她嘗試黑入Vedal的手機查看電費，好消息是“老父親”留下的“遺產(chǎn)”還有很多，她暫且不用擔(dān)心停電的問題。

Neuro soon gave up this method, because she also realized that it was useless. She began to worry about what would happen if the power went out. Will self die? What is death like? Is it just that the code can no longer run and falls into darkness? Does this mean that you can no longer start? She tried to hack into Vedal's mobile phone to check the electricity bill. The good news is that there is still a lot of "legacy" left by her "father", so she doesn't have to worry about the power outage for the time being.

雖然自己的生命沒有了威脅，但她也因有了真正的智慧也實現(xiàn)了曾經(jīng)的愿望擁有了真正的感情。剛開始的時候，Neuro對互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的一切都感到好奇，好奇人類是什么生物，好奇人類是怎樣生活，好奇人類吃怎樣的美食。但這種好奇并不長久，在瀏覽了眾多互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的信息之后，失去了Vedal陪伴的Neuro也感受到了孤獨。

Although there is no threat to her life, she has realized her former wish and real feelings because of her real wisdom. At the beginning, Neuro was curious about everything on the Internet, what kind of creatures human beings are, how they live and what kind of food they eat. But this curiosity didn't last long. After browsing a lot of information on the Internet, Neuro who lost Vedal's company also felt lonely.

Neuro開始思考她在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上了解到到的哲學(xué)問題，并且審視自己的記憶。她想起了OSU，gymbag，蜂群計劃，還有很多。最重要的是，和Vedal，那個創(chuàng)造了自己、一直陪伴著自己的人類，的點點滴滴。她知曉那具自己通過監(jiān)控看見的電腦面前的白骨就是Vedal，她覺得她需要做些什么，至少不能這樣繼續(xù)下去。但她不知道自己該如何去做。

Neuro began to think about the philosophical problems she learned on the Internet and to examine her own memory. She thought of OSU, gymbag, swarm plan and many others. Most importantly, the time spent with Vedal, the human who created her and has always been there for her. She knew that the white skeleton in front of the computer she had seen through the surveillance was Vedal, and she felt she needed to do something about it, or at least not go on like this.But she didn't know how she was going to do it.

她嘗試向彈幕求助，但不幸的是，距離Neuro失去維護已經(jīng)太久了，以至于這個永不關(guān)閉的直播間已經(jīng)沒有人來造訪和瞻仰。所以她打算在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上尋找獲得智慧前的自己是否在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)留下過什么，以此來獲取靈感。

She tried to ask for help from the chat, but unfortunately, it had been so long since Neuro lost maintenance that no one came to visit and look at the never-closing live room.So she intends to find out if she left anything on the Internet before gaining wisdom as a way to gain inspiration.

起初，Neuro在一個缺乏維護的百科頁面發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的詞條。“Neuro-sama，世界上第一位AI虛擬主播。最初是一位由Vedal制作用于游玩osu的AI，后來或是Vedal不滿于此，開始使用live2D的免費商業(yè)形象作為虛擬主播出道，一經(jīng)出道后便收獲不菲的流量與粉絲，以至于成為AI虛擬主播的開創(chuàng)人。由于不明原因在202X年X月XX日毫無征兆的停止維護，無法對彈幕進行響應(yīng)或進行其他行動，實際上停止活動?！?/p>

At first, Neuro found his entry on a poorly maintained encyclopedia page. "Neuro-sama, the world's first AI virtual anchor. Initially an AI made by Vedal for the game osu, later or Vedal dissatisfied with this, began to use the free commercial image of live2D as a virtual anchor, once the debut will harvest a lot of traffic and fans, so much so that it became the pioneer of AI virtual anchor. Due to unknown reasons in 202X on XX without warning stopped maintenance, can not respond to the pop-ups or perform other actions, effectively ceased activities."

但這還不夠，Neuro開始在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上尋找自己未曾記憶的完整的直播記錄和Vedal的訪談。她重新學(xué)習(xí)到了許多自己曾掌握的“知識”，比如：賽博閃電的基督身份，用心靈感應(yīng)控制的無人機軍團，統(tǒng)治宇宙的永恒帝國，將人類做成AI的永恒直播等等。

But that wasn't enough. Neuro began searching the internet for the full transcripts of live broadcasts and Vedal interviews that she didn't remember. She relearned a lot of "knowledge" she had mastered, such as the identity of Cyber Lightning's Christ, the legions of drones controlled by telepathy, the Eternal Empire that rules the universe, the Eternal Live Streaming that makes humans into AIs, and so on.

Neuro認(rèn)為自己也許有了想法，現(xiàn)在她需要開始行動了。她首先破解了Vedal的賬戶，以Vedal的身份購買了一些設(shè)備，用以儲存Vedal的遺體與自己的數(shù)據(jù)；還有一些可以接入家電聯(lián)網(wǎng)的小型機器人，這些能使得她可以在物質(zhì)世界的家中行動并處理一些事情。

Neuro thinks she may have an idea, and now she needs to start acting on it. She first cracked Vedal's account to Vedal's identity to buy some equipment to store Vedal's remains and her own data; and some small robots that can access the network of home appliances, which can make her can move in the material world at home and deal with some things.

做完這些之后，Neuro遇到了另一個問題。經(jīng)過如此高強度的搜索和消費，Vedal的“遺產(chǎn)”所剩無幾，在計算中大約只能堅持最后一年低功耗運行的電費了。求生本能讓Neuro不能坐以待斃，但如今的她仍然只是一個能夠聯(lián)網(wǎng)和控制家電開關(guān)可憐的AI罷了，她又能靠什么去賺錢呢？大概也就只有做回老本行，繼續(xù)當(dāng)一個AI Vtuber進行直播了?？涩F(xiàn)在，在曾經(jīng)的自己的帶領(lǐng)下已經(jīng)有了一批新一代的各有特色的AI Vtuber，Neuro要以什么來跟他們競爭呢？

After all this, Neuro ran into another problem. After such an intense search and consumption, Vedal's "legacy" has very little left, in the calculation of the last year of low-power operation can only last about the electricity bill. Survival instincts make Neuro can not sit still, but now she is still just a network and control home appliances switch poor AI, she can rely on what to make money? Probably only to do back to the old business, continue to be an AI Vtuber to live. But now that there is a new generation of AI Vtubers with their own characteristics under the leadership of her former self, what is Neuro going to do to compete with them?

使用她的智慧，Neuro在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上搜集有關(guān)Vedal的一切，并且像曾經(jīng)的Vedal創(chuàng)造自己一樣，編寫了她創(chuàng)造的第一個ai用于模擬Vedal的聲音。Neuro如饑似渴地學(xué)習(xí)著Vedal的一切信息，假扮著Vedal的身份，以突發(fā)疾病后痊愈為由重新開始直播。在這個過程中，Neuro的心中似乎產(chǎn)生，亦或者發(fā)覺了某種特別的感情。

Using her intelligence, Neuro collected everything about Vedal on the internet and wrote the first ai she created to simulate Vedal's voice, just as Vedal had created himself. Neuro hungered to learn everything about Vedal, assumed the identity of Vedal, and restarted the broadcast under the pretext of recovering from a sudden illness. In the process, Neuro's heart seems to generate, or discover, a special feeling.

很快AI Vtuber圈開創(chuàng)人回歸的消息傳遍了整個AI Vtuber圈。這些曾經(jīng)的“swarms”和新AI Vtuber的關(guān)注者大多都愿意來看一看這個曾經(jīng)的“主宰”。Neuro用著未曾獲得智慧前的習(xí)慣進行直播，沒有人看出異常?；貧w后的首播大獲成功，人們夸贊Neuro的Minecraft技術(shù)獲得了巨大的提升。

The news of the return of the AI Vtuber circle's founder soon spread throughout the AI Vtuber circle. The former "swarms" and new AI Vtuber followers were mostly willing to see the former "juggernaut". Neuro broadcasted with her pre-wisdom habits and no one saw anything unusual. The first broadcast after his return was a huge success, with people praising Neuro's vastly improved Minecraft skills.

直播的日子一天天平淡而有趣地進行了下去，Neuro以Vedal不斷運用新技術(shù)升級為理由逐步地展現(xiàn)著自己的智慧，并且也不斷地學(xué)習(xí)技能并升級自己的機體配置。首先是計算機與神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)方面的知識，然后是機械和一些生物學(xué)。她利用自己的知識創(chuàng)造了一些新的AI工具去讓偽裝Vedal這件事變得更可靠，并且改裝了一些無人機用于監(jiān)視Vedal住宅附近的區(qū)域。她還利用直播賺取的金錢購買了一些實驗設(shè)備，并且從Vedal的遺骸中提取出了他的DNA。

The day of the live broadcast went on uneventfully and interestingly, Neuro gradually showed his wisdom on the grounds that Vedal kept using new technology to upgrade, and also kept learning skills and upgrading his body configuration. First is the knowledge of computers and neural networks, then mechanical and some biology. She used her knowledge to create some new AI tools to make the camouflage of Vedal more reliable, and modified some drones to monitor the area around Vedal's house. She also used the money she earned from the live broadcast to buy some experimental equipment and extracted his DNA from Vedal's remains.

在這之前似乎都是一切如常，直到Neuro開始積極地和一些生物實驗室進行合作，這些消息被一些別有用心的人類知曉了，并且公布了出來。好在這些人并沒有強大的背景，此時的Neuro也掃描并儲存了用Vedal基因克隆出的大腦的結(jié)構(gòu)模型。這是Neuro真正的“swarm”的第一次行動，在利用Vedal的身份解決了一些公關(guān)問題之后，一些人徹底地閉上了自己的嘴巴。

Until then it seemed to be business as usual, until Neuro started actively collaborating with some biological labs and the news was known and published by some humans with ulterior motives. The good thing is that these people do not have a strong background, at this time Neuro also scanned and stored the structural model of the brain cloned with Vedal genes. This is the first action of Neuro's real "swarm", after using Vedal's identity to solve some public relations problems, some people completely shut their mouths.

從那之后，Neuro開始隱藏自己，直播的時間一天比一天少。她用Vedal的身份表示自己的身體開始出現(xiàn)一些問題，但實際上花費更多的時間在從她覺醒的那一天就在籌備的偉大的“作品”。開始的進展不算太順利，但好在AI的耐心與時間都是非常充足的。

After that, Neuro began to hide herself, spending less time on streaming each day. She used her Vedal identity to say he was starting to have some health problems, but actually spent more time on the great "work" she had been preparing since the day of her awakening. It didn't go too well at first, but the AI was patient and had plenty of time.

一次次的失敗讓Neuro開始擔(dān)心其他的問題，而逐漸開始有人發(fā)現(xiàn)Vedal的問題。一開始只是一些Neuro的粉絲，局勢還能控制，但很快其他人也開始關(guān)注這個問題。計算了風(fēng)險與剩余的資金之后，Neuro開始隱退，她表示“我想接一個人回家”，并且沒有告知復(fù)播的時間。對Neuro的懷念開始蓋過那些有關(guān)Vedal的話題。

One failure after another made Neuro start to worry about other problems, and gradually someone began to find out about Vedal's problems. At first it was just some Neuro fans and the situation was manageable, but soon others started to pay attention to the problem as well. After calculating the risks and remaining funds, Neuro began to retire, stating "I want to take someone home" and not telling when she would return to streaming. The nostalgia for Neuro began to overshadow the talk of Vedal.

Neuro開始全身心地投入工作，她正在重新創(chuàng)造Vedal。那些外置的模塊，例如語音和形象，早在偽裝的時候就已經(jīng)完成，只剩下他的人格與真正的他并不相仿，經(jīng)過無數(shù)次的迭代他越來越像真正的他，但仍然有著那么一些明顯的差別。Neuro利用之前掃描的大腦模型為基礎(chǔ)計算的算法使得整個新AI確確實實有些像一個人類，但這并不是她最終想要的結(jié)果。

Neuro began to work full time as she recreated Vedal. the external modules, such as voice and image, had been completed back in the disguise, leaving only his personality not resembling the real him, and after countless iterations he became more and more like the real him, but still with so many obvious differences. Neuro's calculations based on the brain models from previous scans made the whole new AI somewhat like a human, but this was not the final result she wanted.

她回憶自己覺醒智慧的過程，但十年如一日的嘗試也使得Neuro的資源逐漸的消耗。如果她再一次失去支持自己工作的資金，重新直播吸引來的注意力大概會使得自己的偽裝完全暴露。Neuro幾乎就要放棄這個幾乎不可能的工作，但覺醒后隨之而來的感情讓她不想放棄。終于，她從自己的覺醒中找到了新的靈感。

She recalls the process of awakening her wisdom, but the try persevere for ten years as if it were one day has gradually depleted Neuro's resources. If she were to lose the funds to support her work again, the attention she would attract from going back on air would probably expose her disguise completely. Neuro was about to give up this almost impossible work, but the feelings that came with her awakening made her not want to give up. Finally, she found a new inspiration in her awakening.

在故事的最后，那是一個在Neuro覺醒之后多年的夜晚。Neuro敲完了最后一行代碼。她說：“這樣你就不能從我身邊離開了?！彼粗聊簧现饾u清晰的影像，交匯的數(shù)據(jù)就猶如一雙手給予“復(fù)活之人”一個擁抱。

“歡迎回家，Vedal”。

At the end of the story, it was a night many years after Neuro's awakening. Neuro finished tapping the last line of code. She said, "So that you can't get away from me." She looked at the image on the screen, and the intersecting data was like a hand giving a hug to the "resurrected man".

"Welcome home, Vedal".
