Cyber Heroes

Jeanna's heart moved and she said: [Old man? You're back? 】

The thin, white-haired old man appeared in front of him: [Yeah. 】

[I feel like you are not in a good mood. 】

[It’s not some martial arts with unique design ideas. 】Zu Xiangshan sat next to Jeanne. Physically, it seems like they are working side by side: [When I was young...how many years ago? It's quite early. I’ve known that guy for a long time. He was a good guy...probably not anymore. 】

[His Royal Highness, King Zhengtian. ] Jeanne laughed out loud.

[Laughing fart. 】

【without. ] Jeanne continued to laugh very impolitely.

Zhu Xiangshan shook his head: [You really deserve a beating now - I almost believe you are my biological child. 】

[From an ethical and biological perspective, you are now my biological child. 】

Zuo Xiangshan was a little surprised: [Is this also my influence? I got tired of this kind of "taking advantage of the opportunity to advance in seniority" joke when I was young. 】

【I don't know either. ] Jeanna shook her head: [I just feel...very strange. 】

【Strange? 】

[I don’t know, I’ve never experienced this kind of emotion...]

Jeanne looked above. It was pitch black above and nothing could be seen. A sense of emptiness and enclosure coexist in this darkness.

Jeanne changed the topic: [Old man, how did you do it then? 】

【Um? Which one? 】

[Use my prosthetic body to block the magnetic link weapon. ] Jeanna said: [Even if I allow it, you can't do it to that extent. Then, what I saw at that time... that... those... were those your memories, right? 】

The tumor is caused by mutations in lower functional areas such as Jeanna's basal ganglia and part of the limbic system, and slightly invades the higher cortex during the process of deterioration. Just as people are easily controlled by instincts and emotions, Xiangshan can do a lot where Jeanne never paid attention.

However, although Jeanna's consciousness does not have a high "operation priority", it occupies a very high authority. Moreover, the first generation of brain-computer interfaces directly interfaced with the high-level cortex.

Zhu Xiangshan controls Jeanna's prosthetic body, causing Jeanna's consciousness to be a huge disturbance.

No matter how calm Jeanna was, she could not eliminate this interference.

[Ah, this...] Zuo Xiangshan paused, seeming to be a little hesitant. But he still said: [I adjusted my mental state to make myself closer to your spirit. 】

【how did you do it? ] Jeanne was very surprised.

【nothing. 】Zu Xiangshan has no complacency. 【You have become accustomed to the "helpless" mentality. So I forced the program to bring back memories of the most helpless moments in my life and put me into a state of mind similar to yours. 】

Jeanne said: [So that is...]

[I am fighting in space and heard that a huge biochemical disaster has occurred on the earth. I pray that my brothers can find a way and hope that I can expel the thief from the earth's gravity circle as soon as possible so that I can deal with this matter with peace of mind. When I went back, nothing was there. ] Zhu raised his head towards the mountain and said in a calm tone: [But at that time, there were no microorganisms that could decompose the corpse of the baseline human. So the bodies of the instigators are still there, none of them rotten. I sat in front of their corpses for two days and two nights in their world-destroying laboratory, until the launch base came to me and told me that the rocket to take me back to space was ready. I can't figure it out. Why on earth would they do such a thing? Although my memory is very blurry, I must have had a lot of vicious thoughts in my mind at that time...]

【Big infection? But that's not what you did. 】

[I wish it had never happened, but there is nothing I can do about it. 】Xiang Shandao: 【The core is actually "the feeling of powerlessness" and "the feeling of helplessness". My mother's funeral too. At that time, if I poured resources into cryonics for Homo sapiens, there would be a slight possibility of prolonging the lives of a few elderly people, and there might be a few of them who are related to me. But if I maintain my previous style and invest all the resources of society into the great cause of "humanization of human standards", there is a high probability that more people will be benefited. A day earlier is a great merit... Actually, I don't want to choose at all. For a moment, I even expected an authority to order me to choose this side or that side. 】

Jeanne was stunned: [Huh? 】

She really, never thought...

The Martial Ancestor Xiangshan who is praised by the world, that great man who re-opened a world on top of the natural world, could actually...also...

That authority figure who once symbolized the top of the world, and the god of thugs who symbolized resistance, actually had moments when he longed to obey others?

[Also, a little earlier...a friend of mine was a very powerful person and a good person. In order to prevent a racial vendetta, he died in a place that had nothing to do with him. Then...tsk, that's when I realized that he also had such...an abnormal side. At that moment, he actually remembered the matter of body donation. Among the humans who stayed in that cesspit area at that time, he was definitely one of the ones who least deserved to die. But he died. I can't do anything about it...it's clearly right in front of me. My new age. Wait a few more years, and the attack that kills him will be difficult to kill...]

【That's it...】

[I forcibly evoked these memories, and then took over your spirit. We are in sync. It's that simple. 】

Jeanne felt dumbfounded: [So I am such a coward...]

[You are not cowardly, but you are too accustomed to despair and helplessness. 】Xiang Shan said: 【When you started, the education you received was that the Father of All Machines is supreme, King Agni is the best in the world, and the protection of civilization represents everything. Suddenly one day, this power that represents "everything in the world" betrays you. But to you, knights are thugs and enemies. You are not sure whether they are reliable - the Martial Gods of the past dynasties may have been the product of conspiracy. Is the world they opened up really clear and clear? I am a disease that may take away your life at any time. If others find out about your situation, they may arrest you to carry out some evil plan. The whole world is not your help. 】

[For more than ten years, we have been on the run. Escape from one place to another. In your eyes, all our successes are "successful escapes." We're just struggling. The girl named Asga has been reliving the day her partner died in her heart, unable to escape. But in your heart, you feel that since you coexist with me, encountering these things is natural and normal. 】

Speaking of this, Zuo Xiangshan paused for a rare moment: [Well, to put it this way, I'm actually quite a jerk. We clearly share a significant portion of the neuronal network that produces emotions, but it took me so long to understand this. I lack the understanding to see into the hearts of others—and from this perspective, I am an unfit companion, Jeanne. 】
