Abyssal Wanderer

Hanel's words made all the citizen representatives present momentarily speechless.

She was right. Even when it was outsourced to the company's armed forces, the issuance of passes between levels would not be handled by an adjuster with depth 3 of Narcissus Path.

At least on this point, the people of the Anthroposophical Ethics Supervision Committee are sincere enough.

Seeing that there were no more questioning voices in the audience, Commissioner Bai continued:

"Okay, then what needs to be discussed next is the information security issue of the 'Lighthouse' in the settlement area. The 'Lighthouse' serves as the information hub for the servers in the entire Nord settlement area. If a third type of attack is to be launched, the Orpheus Secret Cult will Those terrorists will definitely choose that place as a breakthrough..."

As Commissioner Bai was speaking, a new prompt popped up in her personal data processing program - in the column of members of the peacekeeping team A she was responsible for, Héloïse Hanel's name flashed rapidly.

This was a reminder to her that the prosthetic body installed by her subordinates was activated outside of the scope of review.

As soon as she clicked on her name, a message popped up impatiently.

[It was detected that one minute and fifty-three seconds ago, Héloïse Hanel used the prosthetic body ‘Echo’ without reporting it]

"In view of the assassination of the former head of information security K.K.P., we believe that the security of the 'Lighthouse' should be left to our committee..."

Commissioner Bai did not stop what she was doing. While continuing her speech, she turned on the visual data mode and looked at Hanel in cyberspace.

A light blue data ghost flew over along the interlaced logical frames in the cyberspace. When she got close enough, she immediately turned into a thin mist and merged into the data matrix representing Hanel. among.

[Ms. Bai, my ‘echo’ brought back a piece of information that may be of interest to you]

Maybe he really got the information from his own channels, or maybe he was aware of his own prying eyes, Hanel explained directly to her.

The adjuster of the Path of Narcissus is able to create a data clone called "Echo" in cyberspace. This is an anthropomorphic program of a natural language processing (NLP) model. Although they do not have self-awareness, they can simulate their own or other people's language patterns for dialogue as much as possible. The more data collected, the more accurate their simulation will be. The higher the similarity will be.

Therefore, adjusters of Narcissus' path are good at espionage and electronic warfare - as long as they are given enough data, they can perfectly imitate the language patterns of others. And letting "Echo" that imitates themselves control external servers can also enable them to surpass the human brain and control larger-scale computing power in electronic warfare.

Even adjusters of the Narcissus path may collect the "echoes" of many experts, including themselves, as their own personal advisers, and conduct a true small theater in their own minds.

Because it shows enough humanity, many people will think that "Echo" is a degraded digital personality, but in fact there is a huge difference between the two.

Without the intervention of the adjuster's body, the "echoes" of Narcissus will not judge that they should stop after falling into the infinite loop of the program - that is, they cannot solve the "Turing Halt Problem", so they will end up It's just another program under the von Neumann architecture, and there is no so-called self-awareness in it.

"Of course, since the security of the lighthouse is a top priority, in addition to our peacekeeping force, we also need the resettlement area government to form an elite rapid response force..."

Commissioner Bai continued to preside over the meeting while replying to Hanel in cyberspace:

【what's the message? Also, you need to write a report about your previous illegal use of ‘Echo’]

[Understood, I will make up the report later...According to the intelligence received by my "Echo", Jin, who was previously suspected of being transformed into a "zombie man" by the Orpsian Cult, has an installation depth 3 in his brain. Adjustment and transformation of "Pegasus\
