He did not come today either!! What the hell! is up! Huh? Did he leave college? Did he somehow learn that I was on his tail, so he stopped coming to college?!
I run around in my room in a grumpy way!
Ugh! What is he so… him!
I lay back on the bed and open up my laptop again and start to look up 'JD'….
Nothing, huh? Where is he? What is he doing? Ugh! Why do I keep thinking about him? He is not 'JD,' but there is proof…
Ah, ok, maybe he is JD, so what? It's not like I care or should care, but he did save me, and he did not even talk to me again, like that never even happened…
Why do I even think about him, huh?? He is just good-looking and good at studying, and he might be running 2 companies now…. He might be the famous secretive JD, and he also saved me…
So what?
But still that night there was something weird about it… Leo never questioned me or talked about it. Uh, I guess he did keep to his word about not chatting about me behind my back…
But why do I feel like he is avoiding me? Ugh, this is so annoying…
…

I reach the 'wooden house,' and just before reaching it, with a green flash, I become human again… Oh, that was close. I almost timed out as XLR8…
Phew… I walk in the house, and the lights in the house light up fast, and Ava speaks…
"Sir, you shut down your phone again. Where have you been? I told you not to do that, right? And also, sir, the USB has been activated and is online. I have formed a connection to it… And, after reading a few files, I realize it was one of the servers of the TEN RINGS! Sir! Sir! What have you been doing behind my back?!" My phone pretty much vibrates in my hand as I put it on the bed and smile. It looks like Ava was quick to react and still a little worried…
"Ah, Ava, calm down, will you? I am fine. You know that I am in my hotel room, and yes, maybe I did go to the Ten Rings…" I speak in a calm tone as I sit down on the couch and pull my transparent, skin-tight gloves off, and I pull my shoes off…
"You went WHERE? Sir, don't you understand? The Ten Rings is a terrorist organization! Without telling me? And how did you even find that place? And wait, is this the reason you have been coming to China?!
You told me you were only coming here for sightseeing. I knew you were doing something behind my back, but this?…" Ava spoke in a loud but almost low tone. She seemed worried and sad that I did not tell her the truth…
And I just sit there for a few seconds, letting Ava speak… And I lay back on the couch and speak in a calm tone, "Ava, I am sorry I did not tell you what I was doing here, but you have to realize this: if I did tell you my plans, would you ever let me do them? No, right?"
"But, sir, that still does not mean anything. You kept things away from me… hiding important things like this you always do… Even in your own house, you always put me to sleep when doing something… It's like you don't trust me." Ava's voice was in a low tone as she spoke…
'Ah, so that's her thought process, huh? Well, it's not that I don't trust her… I do. The only one who even knows 40% of what I am doing in this world is Ava. I trust her more than anyone in this world… But it's not about trust; it's about ideas, knowledge…
The things I know… Even an AI like her can't predict them. She can't understand my actions, so she thinks I don't trust her. Simple answer, but the most likely… And, well, to some extent she is not wrong. But it's not about trust. I do trust Ava. It's more like I can't tell her my plans until they're complete. Only then can I have a 100% guarantee that nothing could go wrong. Only then do I tell Ava because that's just how paranoid I am. It's a bad habit of mine, ha…
Plus, like, things could always go wrong. Like, let's say I did tell Ava what I was doing; then, well, she would help me. I know she will; that's just how I made her. And let's say the Ten Rings had some good hackers? And what if they just happen to hack into Ava? Well, then the Ten Rings knows everything about me…
See? How easy is it for information to leak? Plus, it's not like Ava is the only AI right now. There is Jarvis, even though Ava called him a bot. He will become much better in the future. Not only that, there are also other AIs in the shadows. I don't know how Ava will compare to them, but I don't want to find out…
But who am I kidding? I made her. I know how smart she is right now on earth; she might be the smartest AI, but still, I am not stupid or arrogant enough to think there is no one in this world who can break open Ava…
It's better to be safe than not… That's why I don't tell anything to Ava…
And that's why even my own thoughts right now I can't tell Ava… Because it will just sound like a bad reason, an excuse…
Huh... I just realized there won't be anyone in this world who could truly understand me...
