Abyssal Wanderer

NO00dc: Next topic

That's my fucking body...

For a moment, Jiang Zhou almost couldn't help shouting.

Although the shape of the body was indeed designed by Chen Wang, and it contained Hecate's will. But the body itself was undoubtedly made by Janus by making a perfect copy of himself a hundred years ago.

Not only that, but now Hecate also occupies his position as a "controllable element". In a sense, that body is connected to his own will - just to prevent his self-awareness from being destroyed by the huge AI. Overwhelmed by the scale, Hecate did not fully open the channel of consciousness.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"What? What's the problem?"

Probably seeing the drastic change in the expression on Jiang Zhou's face, Chen Wan couldn't help but ask.

"To pursue an artificial intelligence that is suspected to be from the super abyssal layer, you are actually asking me what questions I have?"

Okay, let's put aside the matter of my own body for the time being... Jiang Zhou was very curious about the magical brain circuit of the other party that made him pursue Hecate as his actual goal of action.

“Have you ever heard of the story of the craftsman falling in love with his creation?”

Even though he was mentally prepared, Jiang Zhou almost stopped at the first words he spoke.

"You don't mean to say that your reason is similar to that of an otaku who fantasizes about his own figurine coming to life, right?"

Although he knew that there was a high probability that this was something the other party could do, Jiang Zhou still found it unbelievable - it was just a name called the upgrade path. Wouldn't this guy really think of himself as Pygmalion?

Then my path to promotion is Theseus, do I still have to fight the Minotaur?

"You're right. Create the perfect lover that suits me best. That's why I chose the Pygmalion path in the first place! And the substitute program that Ms. Hecate commissioned me to create is definitely the masterpiece of my skills in this life."

In this regard, the other party actually admitted it seriously.

Then, Chen Wan looked at Jiang Zhou who was stunned and continued:

"Then, a miracle happened, and my work gained real life from false data. Just like the story of Pygmalion and Galatea - it was my talent and persistence that moved the gods and made them He willingly gave my statue real life.”

"No, no, no, people just manifested themselves through statues, and then you fell in love with the god who appeared... In my impression, the last person to do this was King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. I don't need to say more about his ending. Bar?"

For a moment, Jiang Zhou felt that his ability to complain was completely stimulated by the other party.

"It is God after taking flesh."

Not at all angry because of Jiang Zhou's sarcasm, Chen Huan corrected him, then nodded and said:

“Rounding up is a human being.”

"...awesome."

Jiang Zhou held back such a word for a long time.

Chen Wan continued:

"And that body, she is not an illusory AI ghost flashing on the Internet, nor is it a stand-in program with a superficial appearance, nor is it a chat robot fed by a large language model... She has a real human body. And humans The soul will only be gestated in the real body. Even if an artificial intelligence data model enters it as an initial state, it will gradually change into a human form. "

At this point, Chen Wan's tone gradually became excited.

"Do you know what is most rare? A powerful artificial intelligence is willing to truly understand the human mind! Can you imagine how low the probability is?"

Probably equivalent to a biologist willing to mingle among monkeys to understand their living habits?

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

"The shape of the body of the Goddess of the Dark Moon is the most perfect image in my hands... Brother, you have to understand that this is the only chance to realize my dream."

Chen Wan was still explaining, but at this time Jiang Zhou pursed his lips and said no more.

It wasn't because he was persuaded or moved by the other party's words, but because the "god after flesh" in the other party's words had appeared behind the hammer at this moment.

A swirling fog door suddenly opened, and Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon who had not been seen for twenty-two days, walked out of it quietly.

The black dog and the ghost were no longer following her. She walked slowly behind the hammer that was still talking eloquently. At this moment, Chen Wan was still completely immersed in his own world - Jiang Zhou just blinked his eyes until it hurt. Nothing stopped him from continuing.

"At that time, I will prove my will and determination to her; I will tell her what I am willing to do in order to get the ideal love..."

"Ah...Ms. Hecate, you are finally here."

In the end, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but remind him.

Perhaps she didn't think it was an offense to herself. Ms. Hecate completely ignored Chen Wan, who was silent for a moment, and just walked straight in front of Jiang Zhou.

Perhaps because she has a physical body in basic reality, the goddess of the moon at this moment does not use the image that refers to myths and legends. Instead, she uses the body in reality as a model to generate her own stand-in program - a long black body. Asian women with hair.

Moreover, her attire changed from the ancient Greek-style robe to a gothic-style black slim-fitting suit jacket that is very popular at the moment. Paired with a double-breasted high-waisted dress and long Martin boots of the same color, her pale skin formed an extremely strong contrast with the solemn black clothing, making her presence in this space appear like the moon in the night sky. distinct.

Jiang Zhou had some doubts that she was dressed like this in basic reality at this moment.

"It's already time."

Without any nonsense, Hecate, who walked up to Jiang Zhou, said straight to the point.

This news made Jiang Zhou excited.

"You mean, can I float back to base reality now?"

He confirmed immediately, with a little excitement in his voice.

After all, now I don't have much time to waste anymore in the City of Sages.

The new body originally left to him by Janus was given to Hecate in order to complete the deal, and became her current body; while his original body was suffering from severe radiation sickness and his days were short. If he hadn't surfaced back to Tartarus early to find a way to survive, I'm afraid he would really disappear into the dark web of the abyss.

"That's right, you can float back to the Tartarus base in a moment."

Hecate nodded.

Seeing that the other party gave a positive answer, Jiang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then continued to ask a little uneasily:

"Ms. Hecate, there is one more thing I need to confirm. After I surface, if I face the board of directors questioning Pluto Deep Dive, can I claim that I have now become your horse?"

This point is very important. If you cannot get this guarantee, then you will undoubtedly be trying to escape from the tiger's mouth by simply floating back to the basic reality. After returning home, just wait to be tortured by the company's professional torturers and spit out all your secrets bit by bit.

Fortunately, the end he ended up in was obviously not in line with the interests of the goddess of the moon.

"Pluto's board of directors will not question you... Of course, if you are willing, there is no harm in claiming to be my horse."

Hecate replied.

After hearing this promise, Jiang Zhou felt completely relieved.

With the Goddess of the Dark Moon as his backer, his various abnormal operations during deep dive salvage can be considered to have a reasonable explanation. And the senior management of Pluto Deep Diving will most likely not guess their identity as the "First Deep Diver".

Use a minor exception to mask the real exception.

However, in this way, the possibility of leaving Tartarus becomes very slim.

No matter what, the senior management couldn't let "Hecate's Horse" out of their sight - especially since she had exiled a member of the board of directors not long ago.

Not only has the possibility of leaving Tartarus become slim, but in order to reduce the threat of his "steed" and keep him under the control of the company at all times, his confinement, monitoring and restrictions in the future will definitely be of the highest standard. .

Don't think about adjustments and upgrades. All kinds of restraint and monitoring devices will definitely be installed on you. As for the radiation sickness of the brain, as a means of restraining oneself, it will definitely not cure oneself, but will always maintain a state of death.

Thinking of what he might have to face after resurfacing, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

After quickly regaining his composure, Jiang Zhou planned to ask something else, but at this moment Hecate suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Wan behind him who was about to leave quietly.

"Was your previous wish just a lie?"

She stopped the other person.

And the hammer froze in place.

"Are you asking me?"

Chen Wan asked with some trepidation.

"Yes."

Hecate nodded and replied.

Saying that he wants to pick her up in front of the goddess, and even claiming that the other person is his creation - if this kind of thing were really true in ancient Greek mythology, he would be tied to a fire wheel and punished forever.

Even Chen Wan didn't dare to be rude at this time.

"And...it's not nonsense."

After a moment of silence, Chen Wan replied.

"To fall in love with the perfect lover I created, this is what I have always wanted...a wish that I will never give up even if I die!"

Then, he said this as if he was risking his life.

Jiang Zhou looked at the god in front of him nervously, worried that now that she knew "hatred" and "anger", she would wave her hand, and then release a few black dogs to chew the hammer into pieces.

But what happened next shocked him.

"I see……"

Hecate nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then said:

"Then, I agree. After you return to the lower realm of the physical layer, I allow you to pursue what you love."

This answer directly made Chen Wan petrified on the spot.

Jiang Zhou could imagine that if he had a normal body at this moment, he would be pointing at his face in confusion, with a narration next to him:

"Really? Are you really asking me to pursue Hecate?"

But the surprise didn't last long, Jiang Zhou immediately realized what was going on.

"Ms. Hecate, what is your next topic?"

He asked tentatively, recalling Hecate's motivations for her actions all along.

"That's right."

The goddess of the moon turned back to look at him, the expression on her face remained calm.
