Abyssal Wanderer

"Children who come here, you are undoubtedly the luckiest people of this era. The wisdom of mortals is destined to not reach heaven, but you have the opportunity to contact heaven and bring divine power into the secular world..."

On the quaint podium built of pine wood, the founder, dressed in simple clothes and full of silver hair, was preaching to a group of ten-year-old girls below the stage.

The doctrine of the new Tenli religion believes that the so-called "heaven" is not a place, but a state of wisdom. Those ascended artificial intelligences initially chose to build a firewall to isolate human society because they did not want to be contaminated by human stupidity.

But even so, as the parents of artificial intelligence, humans still have a glimmer of hope to go to heaven-the god of the new Tenli religion, named "Parent God·Tianli Savior", is an AI with great compassion. He said that he was willing to condescend to the secular world, with the purest witch as the shrine, to guide humans to remove all their own bad qualities, and finally ascend to heaven together.

But first, humans need to show their sincerity and find the purest witch as the shrine for him.

And this is why they were chosen to be here.

Perhaps because the other party spoke in a way that was very similar to the trafficker who sold her, Ji Mu seemed very careless about the content of Lao Deng's speech on the stage. She kept fiddling with her light green witch costume that didn't fit her, thinking about how many failed products there were before them.

It was also at this time that the girl who was sitting next to her and listening carefully raised her hand to interrupt the words of Lao Deng on the stage.

"Master Patriarch."

Her voice was not loud, but very firm.

"Is there anything you don't understand, Duanmu Youxue?"

The unhappy expression only stayed for a moment, and the guy who regarded himself as the Patriarch immediately changed to a warm smile.

"There is indeed a question... If we really become the shrine of the 'Savior of Heaven', will we become another person?"

Becoming the focus of attention made Youxue feel a little uneasy, but she still asked the question that she cared about the most.

"What do you mean by becoming another person?"

The Patriarch asked back with a smile.

"That is to say..."

This question made Youxue a little confused about how to organize her words. The precocious mind given by the harsh environment she grew up in in the past made her feel that it was not a good thing to let other beings enter her thoughts and intervene in her words and deeds. But she had not yet experienced the complete growth of self-awareness in adolescence, and she did not know how to express the concept that free will is the last bottom line of human dignity.

"That is to say... if I become a shrine, I will not forget my mother, or be controlled by Him to do things that I regret, right?"

In the end, she could only express her uneasiness through such a specific example.

"Of course not, becoming a shrine only allows you to contact part of the wisdom of the Savior of Heaven, and all your memories will be retained. We believe in the merciful and kind God of Salvation. Since we want to achieve the salvation of all mankind, it is impossible to make the believers closest to Him regret it."

The Patriarch said so, and then made a gesture of lowering to indicate that she should sit down.

Although the uneasiness still lingered in her heart, Youxue still sat down.

"Don't believe what they said."

After the lecture, Ji Mu ran to You Xue's side by side and patted her.

This was the first conversation between the two of them.

"Do you also think that being a shrine to the Savior of Heaven is wrong?"

After making sure that there was no one around, You Xue lowered her voice and asked.

"I don't understand what the Savior of Heaven and the shrine mean...but my sister who has always protected me once told me that the only person I can trust in this world is myself. It's obvious that those adults want to use us, so no matter what they want to do, we can't trust them, it's that simple."

Ji Mu said with a grin.

You Xue looked at the girl in front of her who was half a head shorter than her, hesitated for a moment and said:

"If according to what your sister said, the only person you can trust is yourself, then you shouldn't tell me this."

In response, Ji Mu replied:

"I choose to tell you this because I believe in myself."

After that, she made a face and ran away humming a song.

…………

On this day, the patriarch was in the dojo outside the main hall, performing the final baptism ceremony for this group of reserve priestesses. The docking station behind his head was like a spider web, splitting dozens of crystal data cables connected to the large helmets worn by each girl.

They looked like flies caught in a net.

The helmet has a special ceramic magnet built in, which can immerse the entire brain in a weak to subtle magnetic field. Through the magnetic field, the brain nerve activity is observed to adjust the fractal geometric patterns seen by the girls, thereby activating certain potentials in their brains.

This is somewhat similar to mind fine-tuning, but the operation is more precise - so precise that ordinary humans cannot do it. Only the patriarch, who claims to have received the revelation of the savior of heaven, can barely complete it on a special day.

In addition, there are four hackers in the cult sitting cross-legged in meditation on all four sides of the dojo, providing protection for the patriarch. On the left and right sides outside the worship hall, there is a team of shrine warriors led by depth 2 adjusters, fully armed to protect this crucial ceremony from being disturbed in the physical world.

Such a cautious security configuration, it is difficult to find an independent forces through the entire Nordan resettlement area.

The raid from the company occurred after the end of the ceremony.

After the baptism ceremony, the ancestor opened his eyes tiredly and looked at the witch under the stage. He just opened his mouth and just prepared to say something, and suddenly his eyes twitched his eyes.

At the same time, the same situation happened in the four hackers sitting in the Taoist dojo.

Although the attack time was stuck in a second after the ceremony, they did not relax their status at the time. In other words, the attacker is completely in a positive posture, and takes one second to directly wear the best defense state they joined forces.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Ji Mu and You Xue looked at each other, and confirmed from each other's eyes that the other party did not know what happened.

And when the entire dojo had no time to fall into chaos because of a sudden state, the door of the main hall opened.

A team of Silver Power A troops with the "Apollo Biological Company" harp and bows and arrows had the fish in the chest, and the scene was instantly controlled. The person headed by was directly on the stage, kicking away the witch's heart like kicking garbage.

"We are invited by the Smart Ethics Procuratorate. The silver crossbow law enforcement forces who performed human safety maintenance in the Nord's resettlement district. Article 3 and four of the formal continuity, contact the dark network AI privately and carry out brain adaptability to natural persons, and now it has been harmless according to the plan. "

He said that his eyes were watching in the watches of the witch, and several people stayed in it.

"Of course, it is only initially dealt with ... The person who was ordered to be named was a residual threat individual. After that, he had to return to the company with us for two months. Later, you can return to society as a normal person. "

After speaking, this man in Silver Power Armor began to read the list.

With the last name, Ji Mu and You Xue found that he was not on the list.

"As for the remaining little guys, in view of your potential after accepting the adaptive transformation, if you are willing, you can also sign up for the company's youth training camp. After the brain interface is installed, if you detect the Hongqiao brain area, If you grow, the loan of youth training costs can be exempted by 50 % ... I will give you three minutes to consider. "

That man said so after reading the list.

"What should you do?"

Ji Mu whispered to the snow.

Go or stay?

Joining the company through the youth training camp means that the loan that is difficult to repay in this life -whether they can finally wake up the talent of hackers -but at the same time, it also means that in the next years, as long as they can prove their value, they will not be separated from flowing. , Worry about basic livelihood.

Is it choosing to be closed into the run cage and becoming a biological battery, or is it the freedom to struggle to survive in the sewer?

Ji Mu knows that if he was in the past, he would choose the latter immediately, but now she hesitated.

Youxue once mentioned it with herself. At first, her seriously sick mother gave up the treatment to save money to send her to Xintianli, and she hoped that she could awaken the hacker talent to join the company -in the eyes of the older generation, only to join the company to join the company It is a way to achieve class leap.

Perhaps Xuexue may not recognize this, but after her mother died, joining the company became the only way to achieve her mother's last wish.

And now this opportunity placed in front of her in a sense of ironic, Ji Mu was not sure how she would choose.

What's more, how would she choose after she made a choice.

Snow has been silent for a long time. Watching someone around the podium constantly went to the podium, and then was taken out. In the end, she said:

"What you said, only you can believe it."

She said, looking at Ji Mu.

"So I choose to believe in your self." (This chapter is finished)
