Abyssal Wanderer

"What's wrong?"

After depositing the weapons and passing the security check, Wang Ying couldn't help but ask softly when she saw Jim Leiter walking in front suddenly stopped.

Without answering Wang Ying's question immediately, Jim began to think.

Putting aside the problems with Black Falcon-136 for now, both "himself" and "Hanel" are dead. Although it was said that the Eden Domain could be reset and would presumably be initialized in the next reincarnation, he did not know how long the reset cycle would be.

At present, I have coerced the middleman to go through the relationship to enter this "lighthouse", and there is no way I can stay here for too long. If he is discovered, he may be sent to jail, and Wang Ying next to him may also be implicated.

"nothing."

After calming down, Jim looked up at the upper level of the lighthouse, which was so high that it made him feel dizzy.

The pillar of the lighthouse is a suffocatingly tall column. Countless pipelines and elevators climb up the column, extending like roots in mid-air with countless branches connecting to the inner wall of the outer layer, but eventually they converge. At the top of the data core.

He murmured:

“I didn’t expect that the interior of this lighthouse would be so spectacular before I came here.”

These words were partly to cover up his previous gaffe, and partly to represent his true thoughts.

"To be honest, I don't know your real purpose of coming here."

Hearing his words, Jin Hyungjun on the side suddenly spoke.

Jim and Wang Ying turned to look at him at the same time.

The man said calmly:

"But if you want to carry out some substantive sabotage activities... the security procedures in this tower will definitely be far beyond your imagination."

But Jim just shrugged.

On the one hand, he naturally had no such idea - just thinking about it with his buttocks, as the information center of the Nord Resettlement Area, with such an important position, how could the security measures here be simple.

On the other hand...

"K.K.P., the head of information security at the lighthouse, was assassinated in this lighthouse, and he died with a primitive gunpowder weapon."

Wang Ying on the side said:

"This is not to say that we are planning to do something. But now the contradictions above and below the ground in the resettlement area are profound, and Icarus' radical elements are becoming increasingly rampant. If I were you, I wouldn't trust the security system here so much."

Jim knew this was an occupational disease of hers, but this reminder really didn't sound like the words of a criminal police officer who was trying to steal the right to print from the black market.

So, he coughed lightly and tried to smooth things over, but Jin Hyungjun smiled strangely and said first:

"That's just what the 'Lighthouse' doesn't care about. You don't know what's going on here..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth and then led the way without saying a word.

Jim wanted to ask something else, but he looked at Wang Ying beside him, who also looked at him, with some caution in his eyes.

Because the two of them had argued before because of their different political opinions, at this moment she was really worried that she was a radical of Icarus, and that she came to the "Lighthouse" this time to cause damage...

Jim closed his mouth dumbfounded.

After finishing the work and leaving the "lighthouse", you can ask the middleman again, so that you will not be misunderstood.

he thought.

Immediately, he thought about "doing things" again.

I don't know how long I have to wait before the Eden Domain is reset. If I don't see the reset cycle when I get to the multi-purpose printer, then this opportunity can only be wasted.

If this happens, I just hope that the Eden domain will not kick them out when it is reset...

Jim prayed silently.

They are outsiders, and the "hardware" that carries their personality is the biological brain. Even if they are initialized, there is a high probability that their memories will not be completely reset like those residents of the Eden Domain.

In this case, I really can only investigate the usage records of the multi-purpose printer, and try to find out who installed the "Pegasus" in Mr. Jin's mind.

At least we were able to find some clues to the Orpheus Secret Cult. This trip can't be said to be fruitless.

The elevator was climbing at an extremely exaggerated speed. Jim looked at the numbers that jumped on the display screen and comforted himself.

…………

"Is this Jim Leiter the man you found?"

The expression on Perse Fanny's face was very strange.

It's no wonder that anyone would find it strange that the ex of his deceased partner had such an identity here.

"He is actually still alive in base reality?"

She looked in disbelief.

what is this? Hanel himself is also alive, didn’t you expect that?

Jiang Zhou thought.

Of course, it could also be something else bearing the identity of "Hanel" - just like the "Black Falcon-136" here.

Just like Jim Leiter who left the Eden settlement for more than 20 years...

Without having too much entanglement with his "sleeping brother and sister" on this issue, Jim glanced at Black Falcon-136 beside him and said:

"If the message in "Doppelgänger" is true, then the Eden Domain will actually reset the time loop every once in a while. Even if Brother 136 killed them all out of self-defense before, I think next time In a loop, they will also reset the data back.

"What we need to do now is to wait for the next cycle to come. If we still have the identity of the Kurosawa family by then, then Jim Leiter will definitely come to visit again... This saves us the need to find Human trouble.”

"Feel sorry!"

136 lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.

"Even if I chose to let my self-consciousness sleep forever, I still caused you trouble... In addition, you were arrested by the company in Theseus Warehouse. This is the third time that I almost killed you. I……"

The expression on his face was extremely painful - at this moment, Jiang Zhou didn't even bother to analyze whether the pain was true or false.

"But none of it was out of your own will. You never subjectively wanted to harm me... Even the last time you dived, someone gave you wrong hints, which led to wrong choices. There's never a time when it's really your fault."

Jiang Zhou interrupted.

Having said that, just like the logic of the "vacant cow paradox (Note*)", are human subjective consciousness cognitions and the logical system based on it correct?

In the past, Jiang Zhou was optimistic about this, believing that this was a problem that could be solved through consciousness uploading technology, but now he is becoming more and more uncertain.

Perhaps from an evolutionary perspective, subjective right or wrong has never mattered...

A terrifying thought emerged involuntarily, making Jiang Zhou shudder, and then forcibly stopped himself from continuing to think along this thought.

He composed himself, suppressed his emotions, and said to everyone:

"It just so happens that we still have several things to investigate during the period before the Eden domain is reset.

"What did the adjuster of Apollo creatures come here to do before, and... who is the person who broke away from reincarnation." (End of this chapter)
