Abyssal Wanderer

NO00e5: Covenant and Need

The other party's reaction was far more intense than he imagined.

In the huge fear of death, Jiang Zhou opened his mouth before he had time to say anything. Suddenly, as suddenly as it appeared, the dangerous aura that clung to his amygdala disappeared.

The bloody light in Christie's eyes dissipated instantly, and he returned to his normal self.

In other words, she once again disguised herself as an ordinary person.

However, Jiang Zhou knew a long time ago that the opponent's real body was a mechanical dragon more than ten meters long. And the one in front of me is naturally just an interface for communication - just like the virtual image of the other party in the Japanese Bureau.

But he still didn't know exactly how the other party took on the appearance of a young rock and roll girl from the human period in reality.

Is it hijacking vision? Or high-definition holographic projection? Or is it some other method?

"Sorry, I just got a little excited."

Suddenly, before Jiang Zhou could speak, Christie, who had previously leaned over, straightened up again - this time, her image was no longer fixed in the center of the field of vision like a ghost.

Then, under Jiang Zhou's nervous gaze, Christie sat down on the seat next to her again and crossed her legs while holding on to her boots.

As if she had just suddenly figured out something inside, she was wearing a very subtle smile at the moment.

"So, this is one of the conditions for the alliance between the ferryman and the goddess of the moon, right?"

She said so.

Alliance? condition?

Jiang Zhou was stunned when he heard these two words, wondering how he knew this. But then the scene when Hecate and Charon rescued him from death came to his mind.

Although it is unclear what kind of social structure AIs have in the abyss dark web. But it's obvious that the two AIs do have a cooperative relationship on certain things - whether it's going to Narcissus Plains to save people or repairing their own stand-in programs, it's just part of the deal.

Probably in the other party's view, it is normal for two people who are both "horses" to continue to cooperate in the basic reality.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou hesitated whether he should make up something based on the existing information to deceive the other party. But before he could speak, perhaps seeing the hesitant look on Jiang Zhou's face, Christie waved her hand first and said:

"I understand, a lot of information about their cooperation cannot be stated clearly here, right... Well, it's my fault that the old man didn't tell me more in advance on the Abyss Dark Web, so I thought I was keeping you just to give Ming Yue The goddess sells favors.”

Having said this, Christie's face froze for a moment as if she thought of something.

"Or is this actually part of their plan?"

She murmured quietly.

It was precisely by not informing herself of key information in advance that she was able to dispel the doubts of the board of directors with just the right indifferent attitude, and thus obtain the right to dispose of "Theseus" in their hands, thereby completing the two AIs' control of the basic reality. Another layout...

Some very likely guesses were formed in her thinking matrix, which made her very unwilling - she hated those inferred possibilities, as if she thought they were choices of free will, but they were all accurately calculated by AI. The results are average.

But even if this was the case, she knew she could only choose to accept it. After all, humans who deal with those inhuman AI cannot fully control their own destiny - unless they break through the limits of human intelligence and gain ideas and foresight beyond humans, can they truly control their own lives.

As for not trading with AI, then it is the gods of Olympus who control their own destiny. In comparison, perhaps it is more acceptable to cooperate with AI that does not involve emotional factors and is purely based on interests.

Sighing slightly, Christie turned his attention to Theseus lying on the bed again.

"If there is anything that can be conveyed, let's say it now."

Christie urged.

In response to this, Jiang Zhou, who had completely calmed down at this moment, said after careful consideration:

"Before going up to the surface, Ms. Hecate not only told me your identity and asked me to cooperate with your work as much as possible. She also shared information about a series of events that occurred in the Nord settlement area not long ago... For example, 'Shattered' Did you also participate in the Battle of the Sky?"

In order to prevent himself from accidentally leaking information during future communications, Jiang Zhou decided to simply state in advance that he knew the information about the Nord resettlement area.

But on the other side, Christie was stunned when he heard the words "Battle of the Shattered Sky" pop out of the other party's mouth. After a while, she then said carefully:

"Yes, the old man asked me to cross the limit of human intelligence and upgrade to depth 8 there. But I didn't expect that I accidentally got involved in a dispute between the company and some civil organizations, and was almost used as a gun. Oh...you ask, is it because I disrupted the arrangement of the goddess of the moon?"

When Christie replied, he was cautious.

Although Charon was indeed encouraging her to cross the limits of human intelligence as soon as possible, he did not require her to be promoted in the Nord settlement area - if she really accidentally disrupted Hecate and even Paradox's plan, then this would It's definitely not your own responsibility.

Of course, although she asked in a panic, Christie actually judged that these high probabilities were irrelevant - after all, if she had really cared about it, she would have been tried together with Minos.

As for Jiang Zhou, after hearing this, he quickly smoothed things over and said:

"I don't know about this. At least Ms. Hecate was not emphasizing her deployment when she mentioned it. She just used this to explain your position to me. You are not under the direct control of Pluto Deep Diving Company... …”

While answering, Jiang Zhou also secretly pondered the other party's words - why did he have to go to the Nord resettlement area to upgrade beyond the limits of human intelligence? Isn't it possible in Tartarus, and the people on the company's board of directors don't agree? Or does it mean that to break through the limits of human intelligence, we must rely on something in the Nord settlement area to overcome the tribulation?

Although the other party only mentioned it briefly, Jiang Zhou's intuition told him that there were many secrets about the limits of human intelligence.

It’s a pity that I continue to ask questions now that it’s not a good time…

In response to Jiang Zhou's flattery, Christie just smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter what position you take under the roof. When it goes against the interests of those in power, I can't even save the life of an adult child."

Recalling the pair of broken wings, Christie couldn't help but sigh, and then continued:

"After the Nord incident, the network in the Nord settlement area has collapsed into an information black hole that can only be entered and cannot be exited. It is closer to the abyss and dark web than the World Wide Web. And the guys on the board of directors have also expressed their unwillingness to continue to give up their territory. You support my promotion, but you still have to say that the accident was caused by me walking alone, and all the responsibility lies with me... Oh, forget it, let’s not talk about this first, let’s talk about your current needs.”

Breaking through the limits of human intelligence seems to require support from the resettlement area. Is this a geography-specific limitation, or are you trying to exploit something?

Jiang Zhou once again captured this information from the other party's words, and immediately suppressed the confusion in his heart - it was not the time to ask these questions.

Taking advantage of the other party's overtures, Jiang Zhou immediately raised his most urgent issue as an "ally":

"Everything else is easy to talk about...but what I need most right now is naturally to deepen my depth of adjustment."

This sentence belongs to Jiang Zhou's heartfelt words.

Although in the face of behemoths like companies and enterprises, in terms of pure strength, even if they reach the limit of human intelligence, they are just larger grasshoppers, and the company can crush them to death at will. But even so, my current adjustment level of Theseus Path Depth 1 is still too fragile.

Not to mention getting involved in anything, but just looking at it from a distance is full of danger.

Regarding this request, Christie did not immediately express his position, but asked first:

"This matter of promotion...is that what the lady meant, or are you anxious to cure the radiation sickness in your brain?" (End of Chapter)
