Abyssal Wanderer

With the input of the coordinates, the universal printer instantly cracked into countless small black squares, and then circled in mid-air at a dizzying speed, as if it had become a star ring of an invisible sphere.

Christie quietly watched the dark door being built in front of her eyes, and while she was waiting, her thoughts drifted back to the past.

[Luxor, Salt Lake City, Budapest... There are so many places to choose from, why choose Nord? Our control over there is far from being able to allow you to complete the upgrade safely. It will take a lot of time and energy to completely control the local population]

"That's right. The reason you think I should choose those places is the same as the reason I intend to refuse to choose those places."

Facing the question from the board of directors, Christie answered like this at that time.

She unabashedly showed her extreme distrust of places that have been fully controlled by Pluto Deep Diving Company—it is precisely this kind of population gathering place that the other party has not yet fully controlled, which is safe for herself.

However, in fact, only she knows the real and hidden reason for choosing the "Nord resettlement area".

...

"By the way, I haven't asked all this time. What's your name? We don't have to abide by the shit rules of the City of Sages."

"Liao Qi... Liao Qi from the underground of Nord resettlement area."

...

Recalling the previous conversation, the guy who rescued himself in the "City of Sages" once said that he was from the Nord resettlement area.

If possible, she plans to meet that guy and learn more about the "paradox" from him.

After all, the other party miraculously did not die or go crazy after contacting the existence called "Paradox".

paradox……

As for the true identity of the "paradox", that old Charon kept a secret, like a riddleman who was unwilling to say anything. But right now, apart from knowing that the "paradox" comes from the deepest part of the abyss and dark net; and that he can have an impact on the Styx Firewall, he knows nothing.

However, being able to achieve these two points should not be so unknown in this era.

Therefore, in order to take the initiative as much as possible, she had to find a way to understand it herself - ignoring such an obvious weird thing was definitely not her own style of doing things.

It can be said that Christie will set her upgraded "cocoon" in the Nord resettlement area, just to learn more about the existence called "paradox".

"Icarus Liberation Front..."

Recalling the information he had found before, Christie muttered to himself again.

Judging from the information collected by Pluto's deep dive, it was just a low-level local resistance organization. Even if she tried her best, she was struggling to survive under the pressure of the company and the government of the resettlement area—except for her excessive tenacity and courage, she couldn't even find anything to praise.

And the guy named "Liao Qi" is a member of the Icarus Liberation Front—and a newly promoted quasi-high-level executive.

If so, then there is nothing to be concerned about. In the era of cyber domain wars in the past, such people were like leeks, one crop after another, killing one group after a while and another group reappearing.

But things are far from as simple as they seem...

After reviewing Liao Qi's intelligence resume, Christie found many things worthy of attention-the other party went from an ordinary miscellaneous assistant in the organization to a quasi-high-level executive after experiencing drastic changes in the organization. many months.

During this period, he actually completed two in-depth adjustments and transformations in a row—and he was still walking the Icarus path that had a great impact on the mental index.

This is not normal by any means.

Obviously, there must be a "paradox" in this. It's just that Christie really can't figure it out, what is the purpose of the other party doing this?

She couldn't figure it out, and she suspected that the kid named Liao Qi didn't necessarily understand herself—she was also a veteran who often dealt with those dark web AIs. She knew very well that before breaking through the limits of human intelligence, the relationship between humans and those powerful AIs difference in cognition.

She has witnessed many times that a seed that seems to be planted by accident will bloom and bear fruit at an appropriate moment many years later.

Maybe, even the act of choosing to find the other party at the moment is just a part of the other party's plan.

If you want to be able to understand their thinking...or at least keep up and not be thrown too far; breaking through the limit of human intelligence and completing mental upgrades is the only choice.

Compared with artificial intelligence, human cognition is too weak in understanding the laws of the universe. After more than 6,000 years of development in the history of civilization, human beings still cannot even independently prove that reality exists outside the subject.

But no matter what... Even if her actions are in the other party's plan, she still has to choose to do something on her own initiative.

After completing the second transformation and reaching the depth limit of 7 human intelligences, free will is the only proof of its own existence.

[The coordinates have been fixed, and information upload and download can be carried out]

A message is highlighted on Christie's eye tracking interface. She raised her head, and before she knew it, the universal printer had been rebuilt.

No longer a black cube in an inert state, the universal printer at this moment looks like a black hole accretion disk emitting dazzling light, and in the middle of the ring is a mass of nothingness that is deeper than darkness.

Even with Christie's strong observer vision, she couldn't see what it was. But the only thing she can be sure of is that the energy contained in that mass of nothingness has the ability to easily decompose itself into the most basic particles.

And this is exactly what she needs...

[Communication door connection, information transmission program starts]

Borrowing the temporary authority that he obtained not long ago, Christie's universal printer issued an order.

Just for a moment, the mass of nothingness swelled like a heart, engulfing her metal body that was more than ten meters long—thus, the existence named Christie turned into a Planck time. Nothing, disappeared in this world.

At the same time, in the underground of the Nord resettlement area, which is extremely far away from Tartarus, in the universal printer in the intelligent control center, a brand new Christie began to reconstruct and print at an extremely fast speed.

This is one of the particularities of the α-level deep dive interface—it can temporarily turn any other universal printer into an interface for the Abyss Darknet. And destroy the original body through destructive scanning, making it completely intelligence. Then reprint the body at the position of another universal printer, so as to realize the function of space transmission. (end of this chapter)
