Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 194 NO.00c1: Sorry

It takes a hundred years...

Isn't that now?

Janus's flat words exploded in Jiang Zhou's heart like a thunderbolt.

Now, a hundred years later, I was released from the "coffin" in the underground steps of the Nord resettlement area, and then was caught in Tartarus by accident, and woke up in the train. And after the brain-computer interface was implanted for the first time, the "Janus program" was directly activated, and a mysterious connection was established with "Liao Qi".

In this way, I merged with the punk youth whose head was pierced by the "Scorpio" and should have died in the hotel, and became an individual with two bodies and two brains.

They can share memories, emotions, wisdom, and intelligence simultaneously... They will be affected by each other's emotions, and they will take actions and even make sacrifices for each other's goals. But all of this will not feel contrary to harmony, as if they should be like this when they were born.

If it is said that people can really understand each other, the closest that Jiang Zhou can imagine is their current model-"Jiang Zhou" and "Liao Qi" are not separated Two personalities, but a fusion of one person.

The two brains that are connected together form a brand new self just like the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere.

Besides, according to Hecate. The direction of the "Path of Theseus" tailored for myself is the so-called "path to upgrade from hive mind".

Scattered individuals are connected to each other and converge into a unified collective.

Although it is difficult to imagine what kind of scene it will be, if the current state of my own is extended to all human beings, it is indeed the so-called "mutual understanding between people".

but……

"Can this really be done?"

The past and present Jiang Zhou asked this question at the same time.

A hundred years ago, Jiang Zhou doubted the technical feasibility of this matter.

A hundred years later, Jiang Zhou doubts whether human society can accept this method of change.

No, you don't even need to doubt it anymore, the current state of the world is worth a thousand words.

The upgrade path, Theseus, has become a silk thread that can manipulate puppets by controlling emotions. But even if it is distorted in this way, it is also listed as one of the forbidden upgrade paths because it will cause "human intelligence collapse scenario".

Belief in that bullshit "Holy Trinity", upgraded to the "Dionysus Bureau" with a depth of 7 human intelligence limits. It is not about connecting with others on an equal footing, but using other people's mental models as a program to optimize the algorithm.

In response, Janus nodded and said:

"To be honest, this wish does have some troubles. It will take a relatively long time to realize, and it can be expected that the road will be very tortuous...but in the end, it will succeed.

"I've already said it before... I can fulfill all the desires that human beings desire."

His tone was full of unquestionable confidence.

"So, what is the technical idea?"

Jiang Zhou, who was a hundred years ago, had calmed down at this moment. He pondered for a moment and asked:

"Since you can give a specific implementation time, then you must already have a technical idea, right?"

…………

Ye Qian didn't know how long he had walked and how far he had walked - it was as if someone had distorted the timing system and space length of this network domain, he could only time it by heartbeat and measure the distance with his feet.

But no matter what, the "Warehouse of Theseus" was right in front of him right now.

And even more fortunately, the obstructive "Gatekeeper" program that looked like a "Planetarium" in the past was wiped out by a power that came from nowhere - its wreckage lay in a mess on the street not far away There, there are traces of melting and re-solidification everywhere.

And once the obstacle of the "gatekeeper" program is removed, then he will be able to go in unimpeded, and get the key to upgrade in the "Path of Theseus".

Although I have lost my physical body in the base reality right now, as an adjuster walking on the "Road of Theseus", depth 4. I have a lot of ways to accumulate strength in the abyss and dark net, and make a comeback.

But... how did I embark on the "Road of Theseus" in the first place, and discovered the secret of this path's promotion, and hid it in that warehouse?

Just before he was about to reach his destination, this question suddenly popped up in Ye Qian's mind.

He originally planned to subconsciously ignore such boring questions as usual, but maybe because he lost his physical body and got out of some kind of bondage—this time, he followed the previous train of thought for the first time. .

Then, he discovered the problem.

How did he become the adjuster of the "Path of Theseus"? When I was performing field missions back then, I obviously strengthened the adjustment and transformation of the frontal combat direction.

He never forgot that opportunity for change. It's just that every time he intends to recall, he will subconsciously feel that it is too troublesome, so let's think about it next time.

In the company's board of directors, the only director who has not broken through the limit of human intelligence is the adjuster of Theseus' path. And that director had personally installed a puppet circuit for himself.

But after the director finished the installation for him, he took the initiative to completely cut off the connection between the two of them—he just told himself not to think of it in the future.

And shortly after he became the adjuster of Theseus's path, he was transferred to the third deep submerged warehouse - but not long after, he discovered by accident that in the current network domain, there is a secret hidden in Theseus's path. secret.

And the secret is...

Ye Qian walked in front of the dark coffin - at this moment it was pulsating like a heart, as if it was pregnant with something.

The secret is the one who keeps it.

The moment he touched the universal printer, countless information poured into his "mind" through the special channel of the "Path of Theseus"—Ye Qian instantly understood many things.

The key to the breakthrough of Theseus' path is the person locked inside. As long as you control him, there are infinite possibilities.

He was the missing link.

And right now, that person is about to be liberated from this coffin.

Driven by emotions that might not belong to him, Ye Qian began to interfere.

…………

"Already started printing the body?"

Putting away the vector injector, after Booker landed, under the effect of inertia, he trotted a little staggeringly all the way, and rushed to the vicinity of Liao Qi.

"Did Goddess Mingyue say when she descended to the base reality?"

The combat module on his body kept transforming into the appearance of putting away his arms, he looked at the pitch-black coffin floating in mid-air and asked anxiously.

Right now, all he can think of is to simultaneously balance the interests of the underground strata in the Nord resettlement area, the Icarus Liberation Front, and the fire robbers. At the same time, it is the only way to expel the troops of Pluto Deep Diving Company so that as many people as possible can survive. Under the authorization of Mr. "Paradox", Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, is the "mechanical descendant".

Therefore, he even gave up his previous duty of keeping the node, and flew directly to check the progress - if the company sent a big man who can fight back and forth with his boss "Perseus No. 1", then Even if he participated in it himself, it would be nothing more than advanced cannon fodder.

It's better to come over and care about the progress of the goddess of the moon.

However, after his hasty inquiry, Liao Qi did not answer him as he did in the communication channel before.

"Liao Qi?"

Turning his eyes away from the pulsating black coffin, Booker looked at Liao Qi who was connected to the universal printer through a data cable.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged not far from the universal printer, with his eyes closed and his head bowed as if he was meditating.

What's going on... Previously, he was only responsible for providing blueprints for printing, so he wouldn't enter the immersive mode when connecting.

Booker suppressed his uneasiness and walked forward, patted the opponent's shoulder with a wave.

Then, as if a corpse had been pushed down, Liao Qi fell to the ground in the direction that Booker pushed, and the wing-shaped metal skeleton on the back collided with the ground, making a "click" sound.

This scared Booker to help him up, and immediately started scanning. After detecting that the other party's vital signs were all online, he breathed a sigh of relief.

So, his spirit was dragged into the abyss and dark net by Mr. "Paradox" again?

For a while, Booker seemed to be able to find only this reason.

But if this is the case, then I don't know if this is good news...

Why did Liao Qi go in alone? Then why wasn't he pulled into it?

Just when Booker started to think wildly, Liao Qi suddenly opened his eyes slowly and woke up.

"What's going on now?"

Booker asked quickly.

But Liao Qi looked at Booker blankly.

"Leader Erwin...I'm a little confused right now.

"What should we do next?"

…………

Is that so?

After listening to the simple technical ideas described by "Janus", Jiang Zhou—whether in the past or now—was stunned.

The reverse dichotomous mind regards the other's thoughts as the "voice of heaven" and "voice of heart" that drive the body's behavior without being summarized in the subject.

The so-called "controllable elements" are actually...

"correct……"

Janus in the simulating image suddenly fluctuated—Jiang Zhou couldn't tell whether it was the past or what happened now.

And what he said next made him even more confused.

"I am very sorry for the fate that is about to befall Liao Qi."
