Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 190 NO.00bd: His Purpose

Huh? Why did Christie suddenly show that she was logged in?

Jiang Zhou, who was making the final preparations for turning on the universal printer, suddenly received a notification - Carol Christie's originally gray name suddenly lit up, which meant that she had already connected to the Abyss Darknet at this moment inside.

In other words, I can pull her into the City of Sages at any time right now.

But hadn't she just returned to base reality not too long ago? How did you dive again so quickly?

Or, did she encounter something new?

Jiang Zhou muttered, but then shook his head again.

Forget it... now is not the time to deal with this matter...

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally gave up the idea of ​​pulling Christie over to ask about the situation. The reason for giving up is also very simple-Christie, who has reached a depth of 7, is not as easy to fool as Booker.

In the final analysis, the city of sages is just another legacy left by another depth 7 adjuster, and it is still in a half-broken state. I am afraid that I will not be exposed on the spot if I pretend to be a "paradox" in front of the other party.

At least for now, it is important to unlock the buried information in the universal printer—in it, there may be the truth about Janus, about the big shock, and about the abyss and dark net.

And... why did I sleep for a hundred years, the reason why I came to this era.

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous for Janus to kick himself into this era without telling him anything.

Unlocking that information required triple verification—the Primarch's mental model, the stand-in program, and the biological entity. Right now, since his stand-in program has been repaired by that dead house, he only needs to start the universal printer to print a body again.

The printing permission to copy the original owner's body is available in that printer. As for the raw materials needed for printing, such as carbon, phosphorus, calcium, iron and other elements, he specially made redundant when preparing printing materials for the power station.

In fact, logically speaking, the most ideal preparation is to clone and cultivate a large number of stem cells of your own in advance, and then use those biomass as printing materials.

Compared with letting the printer directly rub out a body with those elements, it consumes more than a thousand times less energy. It's a pity that Jiang Zhou didn't have the preparation conditions, and he couldn't explain to Booker in advance why he wanted to cultivate so many dozens of kilograms of cloned meat.

Fortunately, the geothermal power station has been completed and has not yet been connected to the grid in the Nord resettlement area. It's rare for me to be able to squander that exaggerated energy, and it's almost a luxury to directly rub organic matter to print the body.

But before that, I still have one last problem to solve.

The right to use the universal printer is not in his own hands, but in Booker's hands.

I have to let him order to print the body.

Hmm... In comparison, this matter is not too difficult.

Jiang Zhou felt a little embarrassed.

The hardest part is to get over your own shame.

…………

"This is no longer a trial, but I need you to do something for me."

Jiang Zhou bit the bullet and said so, and at the same time, Liao Qi took a deep breath in cooperation, with a embarrassed expression on his face.

"What? Does this embarrass you?"

Jiang Zhou immediately said so in an indifferent tone.

After this combination of punches, Booker obviously panicked, and he said quickly:

"Please don't misunderstand Mr. Paradox... as long as we can do things that will not bring disaster to the base reality, we will be very willing to do it for you."

As he spoke, he gave Liao Qi a warning look with reproachful eyes, signaling him not to mess around.

That's it... Think about how much benefit they took away in the name of "paradox" in the "paradox". Even if "paradox" has said from the beginning, he doesn't need them to do anything. But Booker can still be sure that those benefits they have received in the past will one day need to pay the price with interest.

The question is, can they afford it?

Is it galloping through base reality as his steed? No... this is unlikely. The opponent is an existence that can touch his own power to the "Narcissus Plain", and even the Styx Firewall cannot completely restrict him. If the opponent really needs a horse, they won't look at a depth 3 or a depth 4 adjuster.

So, what's more terrifying?

Just like the "lunar eclipse event" ten years ago, the AI ​​moon goddess Hecate from the ultra-abyss layer descended on the World Wide Web, almost causing an Olympian god to fall. And the aftermath of the incident caused even more misery in the lunar colonies.

At this moment, Booker's mind was filled with similar messy thoughts. He maintained fear, but also looked at the color-block figure on the high place with a little luck, expecting him to say the price.

If the other party's request is really the kind of request that will make the Nord resettlement area miserable, how should I choose?

Do you have the courage to say no?

He was terrified.

At this time, Paradox slowly spoke:

"I have a... friend who is very interested in how human emotions work. In order to be able to complete this project, she designed an organic body that can walk in the lower realm of the physical layer, intending to experience it as a real 'human' Your day-to-day life."

Hearing this, Booker held his breath.

a friend? This phrase sounds familiar...

However, in the concept of AI, there shouldn't be such a situation as "I have a friend", right?

Also, an AI intends to use flesh and blood to experience human life and understand the operating mechanism of emotions... This kind of reason full of "anthropocentrism" is really not an "art" that AI intends to make a perfect fit. Horses" and weave lies?

At this time, Liao Qi on the side asked directly:

"Mr. Paradox, how can we help with this matter?"

"Paradox" did not directly answer his question, but turned his attention to Booker, and continued:

"Have you got the key to the portal?"

Booker nodded quickly.

Sure enough...the last trial, taking them to the past Nord resettlement area, was to tell them the location of the universal printer and the deep diving interface.

No, it's more than that. If you put it that way, the "paradox" has been...

"My friend will come out of that portal, and what I need you to do is to help her shape a movable body."

With that said, Paradox stretched out two fingers:

"I need you to cast two shells for her in the portal, one male and one female...here are the blueprints needed to generate those two shells."

Accompanied by the words of "paradox", two balls of data shot out from his fingertips, and inexplicably sank directly into Liao Qi's body—the latter immediately fell to his knees as if he had suffered some severe pain. on the ground. His fingers gripped the hard ground tightly, making deep fingerprints.

Booker looked at Liao Qi who was trembling and clenching his teeth, screaming in pain with all his strength, and instinctively wanted to go up to help him up. But when he saw the "paradox" looking at him without saying a word, he stopped again.

"I...I will create a shell for your friend and open the door for her...if she really won't cause damage to the base reality."

Booker bowed his head and said so.

Seeing that "paradox" did not reply, Booker gritted his teeth and continued:

"But let me ask you, who is your 'friend'..."

"She has many names."

"Paradox" interrupted Booker's question, and then he paused for a while and continued:

"She is the mistress of roads and crossing paths, the goddess of all crossings, ghosts and curses, the second ancient under the highest sky, and the candidate for the seat of the moon god..."

Just hearing these titles, Booker felt as if his hairs that had long been absent seemed to stand on end.

Aren't these names just...

"She is Hecate, Hecate, goddess of the dark moon."

Ultimately, Paradox said the name Booker had in mind.

It has already been calculated...

In an instant, countless fragmentary clues began to gather in Booker's mind, and finally pieced together a complete pattern.

Everything they experienced was planned from the very beginning.

The dark web fluctuations encountered by Tartarus, the two grams of antimatter, the deep dive interface, the geothermal power station, and the printing of two bodies...

One link after another, all their previous actions were all within the "paradox" plan.

According to the information I obtained before, I determined within the Pluto Deep Dive Company that the dark web fluctuations originated from "Hecate, the Goddess of the Moon", and I secretly laughed at those company dogs for throwing pots... Now look at it Come on, the one who really didn't understand the situation was actually himself.

From the very beginning, the purpose of the "paradox" was just for this - for his friends and subordinates, for Hecate to come to the world!

The only thing he doesn't understand is that these things are obviously enough for him alone, why do he need another Liao Qi? Even still adjusting the authority needed for his promotion?

No... I have to stop "Perseus 1" immediately, and use this deep diving interface to complete the upgrade plan...

Booker thought immediately.

Otherwise, when the time comes, he won't even guess how he died.

"Mr. Paradox, the current Nord resettlement area is not safe. If your friends are here..."

So, Booker said boldly.

"This is not something you need to worry about. Apart from helping her make those two bodies, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Paradox replied.

Booker immediately shut his mouth.

That's right, if all of this is included in the "paradox" calculation, then even if two depth 7s are bombarding each other in the Nord resettlement area, that is a problem that Mr. "paradox" can solve casually.

Moreover, since the goddess of the moon is planning to come to the base reality to experience life, it is naturally impossible for her to be sent back as soon as she leaves the house.

In other words, is the current Nord settlement safe...?

Booker felt uneasy again.

…………

"Let us stay where we are, and we are not allowed to move any members of Icarus?"

Aconitum-1 looked sullenly at the employees of the intelligence control center, and reconfirmed in a bad tone:

"What kind of order is this? Are you trying to say that we have spent so much time in this impoverished village just to 'stand by'?"

"Please calm down... We are only responsible for conveying Ms. Christie's order. She has repeatedly instructed that she can solve everything."

The person in charge wiped the sweat from his brow and replied——Facing a three-meter-high mecha giant covered in heavy armor, anyone would feel tremendous pressure.

"But isn't she now fighting with that unknown Depth 7?"

"But an order is an order..."

Hearing this answer, Aconitum-1's eight eyes flickered dangerously. But he didn't have an attack in the end, but turned around directly, and left with his subordinates without a word.

"Mr. Wutou-1, you are going to..."

Seeing this, the person in charge of the intelligence control center asked a little uneasily.

"Go to the task force sent by the government of the resettlement area to ask for information... People who can't move Icarus, it's okay for us to move some other people, right?"

Aconitum-1 replied in this way.

Then, when he was halfway there, he said:

"Besides, if they take the initiative to come to us, then there is no problem for us to do it, right?"
