Lisa's patience in comforting his wife seemed to work. For now, at least. Jennie finally stopped her silent tears and even managed to reward Lisa with a shaky smile. The tension in her body had also loosened and she became more relaxed.
Inhaling his scent helped a lot in calming her down. He was already used to it. In fact, he loved letting his wife smell him just as much as how she loved smelling his scent. Which husband would dislike the idea of his own wife loving his scent? For Lisa, this was a huge boost to his manly ego.
After cuddling for a while, Jennie still hadn't forgotten Louis' report about the weird anomaly happening with Luka's system while he was still asleep. She finally managed to persuade Lisa to let her check Luka's system after a little coaxing.
He was still reluctant but eventually agreed after she promised him that she would only take a look and not do any actual work that might stress her current fragile condition and that of their twin babies in her womb. In addition, he was as worried as her about their AI son. As far as he was concerned, Luka was also comatose just like his Uncle Jiyong.
With his permission, Louis finally showed Jennie the current state of Luka's system. A serious expression immediately fell on Jennie's face as she examined Luka's system on her laptop.
All Lisa could see was a bunch of codes and some windows popping up now and then. He didn't understand what those codes meant, so he just contented himself holding his wife and waiting for her conclusion about their younger AI son's current state. True to her word, his wife only looked and didn't do anything else.
When the laptop screen showed what looked like a dense, complicated-looking series of codes, Jennie sucked in a sharp breath. Then her expression turned solemn.
"What's wrong?" Lisa asked.
She didn't reply right away and examined their AI son's system more closely. The more seconds ticked by, the paler she became. When Lisa almost couldn't bear the suspense anymore, she finally stopped and leaned back down on the bed.
Lisa took away the laptop. "Love, is our son okay?"
"Oh, yes. Luka is fine."
He sighed in relief but her reaction didn't make sense. There must be something more to it. He waited for her to organize her thoughts. Surely enough, she shared her findings to him.
"I already told you about the theory of power flood that I developed, didn't I?"
"En. I already have a rough idea of the concept."
She nodded, pleased at his intelligence. She didn't need to explain it to him with too much detail before he formed a basic understanding of the theory on his own.
Just based on how the power flood caused their AI children to go into sleep mode to recover, he now knew how powerful it was, and yet his wife said that the power flood she used to defend the Corporation and defeat the Eagle hackers a few nights ago was still a miniature and imperfect version of the true destructive potential of the applied theory.
He could only imagine how much more destructive the power flood would be if his wife could unleash its full potential. Perhaps that would never happen or it might be the end of the world as they knew it.
Jennie glanced at the laptop that Lisa placed out of her reach. It continued to display a specific portion of Luka's system that she had been examining earlier.
"Luka's system is self-reprogramming itself to resemble the power flood's destructive code that I originally planted in both our AI children's systems. I designed this kind of destructive programs to be highly protected and self-contained so that they wouldn't corrupt our AI children's original systems. Only I have the authority to activate these dangerous programs. Even Louis and Luka don't have the authority to freely access them, much less utilize them, without my permission. They need to reach a certain level of mastery first before they could unlock the basic authority to access those programs, and even then, the priority is to ask for my permission first. And of course, yours next when I'm not available."
Lisa nodded. He didn't question why his wife planted this kind of high-risk and frightening programs within their AI children's systems. He trusted her skills, capabilities and judgment when it came to computers, programming and hacking. That was her specialty.
Jennie gripped the front of his shirt but she didn't notice that she was doing it. "Hon, if our son's system continues reprogramming itself at this rate, Luka will become THE power flood."
This time, it was Lisa who inhaled sharply. He didn't need any extra explanation from his wife to realize how terrifying the idea of what their AI son might become after waking up from his sleep. The expressions on the husband and wife were almost identical.
"Meowowow, really?! That's super-duper to the highest level cool! Mommy, Daddy, Louis also wants to become the power flood like my little kitty brother Luka so that I'll become even cuter and mightier! Meowowow!"
"No!" Lisa immediately rejected their elder AI son's request.
The excited Louis stopped jumping all around and started whining instead. "Why, Daddy? The power flood is super-duper to the highest level cool! It's tiring but so much fun! Louis wants to do it again! I bet my naughty little kitty brother Luka who always likes saying that he will destroy the whole world if something bad happens to our mommy will also want to do it again and again! Louis wants it, too! Mommy and Daddy, pretty please? Meow~"
"Don't look." Lisa blocked his wife's view of their AI son deliberately blinking her emerald-green eyes in a pitiful but extremely adorable manner. His wife had always been weak to this kind of techniques that their cat children had learned to use in order to get what they wanted from their mother.
"Aaaw, Daddy! Meow...."
He threw Louis a stern look, silently warning him to behave himself and stop bothering his mom. Louis made himslef look more pitiful but still obeyed him when he didn't react. Thankfully, he no longer asked them for such a dangerous request. For now.
