Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 219 NO.00da: The sacrifice is love

"At the same time, it is also the product of a last wish from the highest heaven."

Until the end, Hecate only answered him with this sentence. After that, she didn't say anything more about the "Moon God Realm" or other matters about the "Janus Program".

Presumably for Hecate, this is information with relatively high confidentiality level and cannot be disclosed at will, right?

But even so, Jiang Zhou was still able to extract a lot of useful information from it.

First of all, the answer of the goddess of the dark moon confirmed one of her previous guesses - since the Styx Firewall is the product of a certain petitioner's "last wish", then the current state of the entire "Abyss Dark Web" is likely to be similar to other The "last wish" is related.

Dive depth is a standard defined by humans, and in AI's understanding, the entire abyss darknet seems to be named after "The Divine Comedy: Paradise", and is divided into nine or ten realms (depending on whether the 'Supreme Heaven' is included).

I have to say that this is quite in line with "Janus", or the bad taste of Jiang Zhou's own name.

Jiang Zhou thought so.

In order to come up with the abbreviation J.A.N.U.S for the "Digital Personality Project", he spent a lot of brain cells. To this day, he still remembers how several directors of the company rolled their eyes when the project name "Janus" was brought up during the project meeting.

Closer to home...the "Moon Realm", which overlaps a lot with the "Photosynthetic Belt", was certified by Hecate as the product of the last wish of a certain "ancient one". If this is the case, will other "realms" be the products of other wishes?

It can even be deduced from this that the entire abyss darknet is a new ecology under the interaction of different wishes?

Without more evidence, Jiang Zhou could not draw this conclusion. But if this is the case, then there may be a deeper reason why the "Order of Olympus" chose to name its company after the main god of Olympus.

Beyond that, there's the truth about the "Big Impact"...

Jiang Zhou thought.

In today’s public common sense, the mainstream description of the “big impact” is as follows:

The super-artificial intelligence Janus awakened and attempted to exterminate the human race; the smartest scientists in mankind joined forces to create other super-artificial intelligences of the same origin to fight with them, and finally used pre-designed backdoor programs to offend and kill the donkey - this This plot looks like the Hollywood science fiction movies I watched as a child, full of the innocence and enthusiasm unique to the golden age of science fiction.

However, the actual situation today is that even the directors of a company like "Pluto Deep Diving" are so vulnerable when facing an AI of Hecate's level.

In other words, let alone a super artificial intelligence like "Janus" that has reached the "singularity", even if it is just his secondary creation. If there were no obstacles from the Styx Firewall, it would not be difficult to subvert the current order of the human world.

As for why they didn't do this, besides being blocked by the "Styx Firewall", Jiang Zhou could only think of three explanations for the time being.

First, they don't have much interest in interfering with human society, just like the vast majority of people will not interfere with the society of capuchin monkeys. As for Hecate, who takes human emotions as a research topic, it is probably similar to zoologists among humans;

Second, the AIs wandering in the abyss and dark web restrict each other and are in a certain balance. Or maybe it's the legacy of those super-artificial intelligences that constrain them on a deeper level of logic. In short, they do not exert an influence on human society;

As for the third one...

Jiang Zhou really hoped that the truth of the matter was not like this...

The deformed appearance of today's world is the product of encountering the influence of AI. Let’s not talk about super companies like Pluto Submarine Company that later joined the Olympus Order, but there are also established companies like “Jupiter Group”, “Venus Digital Media” and “Mars War Technology”. , it’s hard to say whether the real controller behind it is a human being.

If this is the case, the difficulty of changing this deformed world by yourself can be said to have increased exponentially.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou looked at Hecate, who didn't continue to speak, and recalled the title she introduced herself to when he first met her - Hecate, the person in charge of all intersections and ghosts. and the cursed goddess of the underworld, the second oldest person under the highest heaven, and the candidate for the seat of the moon god.

Hecate's other titles are easy to understand, but Jiang Zhou really had no clue about the last one, "Alternate for the Moon God Seat."

But now, after learning about the concept of "Moon God Realm". Combined with the past "lunar eclipse incident" caused by Hecate, which led to the near-annihilation of "Diana Lunar Development", Jiang Zhou seemed to be able to vaguely glimpse something from it.

Could it be that the so-called "Moon God Candidate" means the candidate for the domain administrator of the "Moon God Realm"? And the "lunar eclipse incident" that year was actually an attempt to get back authority?

Looking at the silent Hecate in front of him, Jiang Zhou planned to ask several times. But knowing that there was a high probability that the other party would not answer this question, he finally did not continue to ask the question without knowing what he was doing.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Zhou asked another more realistic question:

"What about other than that?

"On this trip back to the base reality, apart from allowing me to complete the adjustment and transformation of Depth 4 as soon as possible and upgrade the permissions of the 'Janus Program', what else do I need to do?"

It is foreseeable that after resurfacing back to Tartarus this time, I will be able to access the deep diving interface next time, and I don't know when it will be before I can dive again.

Although Hecate is now considered his "controllable element", once the connection is opened for communication, his self-awareness will be temporarily completely submerged in Hecate's existence, and he will be unable to maintain himself.

In that case, there is simply no way to communicate normally.

Therefore, if the other party has any requirements, it is best to make them now.

Following Jiang Zhou's question, the fog filled the surroundings again, and the figure of the goddess of the moon gradually disappeared in the fog.

Before she left here completely, her ethereal voice finally echoed in Jiang Zhou's ears.

"The next human emotion I need to delve into is love."

…………

love?

Jiang Zhou was stunned when he heard this request.

How about we discuss how we can help you turn that "Moon God Candidate" into a regular employee?

He thought almost giving up on himself.

Let me, a guy who has been alone for 129 years (or twenty-nine years) and is completely insulated from the word "love", help you understand what love is?

Well, Jiang Zhou actually didn't think that he would definitely die alone. But compared to the responsibilities and obligations brought by his special status as "the first deep diver", the ranking of love in the rest of his life is definitely outside the tenth place.

He hasn't even managed to make all human beings understand each other, so how can he focus on love?

It would be fine if it was just a simple request for two people to be together, but based on previous experience, the emotional sample that Hecate wanted to observe and study would most likely be the extreme form of that kind of emotion.

In other words, that kind of love must be on the level of "Romeo and Juliet", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" or "Xiao Meiyan and Shikama Madara", right?

Jiang Zhou imagined that he was willing to give up the pursuit of the ultimate perfect human mental model for someone of the opposite sex or the same sex whom he loved deeply; or he voluntarily left the current deformed world alone and only wanted to be with the other person. Scenes……

Then he shuddered.

What kind of romance novel about a domineering president "I'm willing to give up saving the whole world for you"?

In Jiang Zhou's opinion, people who can say similar things will not have a better understanding of the concept of "the whole world" than their current grade level.

For a moment, Jiang Zhou even wanted to stop the other party and ask her to think carefully about whether to change the conditions.

But at this moment, Hecate and the mist disappeared in the City of Sages instantly like dew under the blazing sun. Jiang Zhou was left alone to worry about where he was.

It was also at this time that another voice echoed in Jiang Zhou's ears.

"Since it's love, how about I come up with a solution?"

The one who said this was a hammer.

"After all, I am definitely an experienced expert on this issue."

Chen Wan, who suddenly felt particularly energetic for some reason, introduced himself confidently.

In response to this, Jiang Zhou just sighed and replied:

"The two-dimensional people sit at the children's table."
