Cyber Heroes

[Well, I did it on purpose. 】Zu Xiangshan said calmly. [If others inquire about this matter, then I will deliberately evade my words and blur some key information to make myself appear to be less enthusiastic. 】

Jeanne was very confused: [Why? Because...because it is His Majesty, the Father of All Machines...]

[This is a most favorable outcome. At that time, Yawgmoth was the greatest geneticist. His reputation is positively and strongly correlated with the future of the entire field of genetics - although from a rational perspective, he is only a part of the history of biology. But in the eyes of ordinary people, at that time, he represented genetics itself. 】

[Yawgmoth carrying this kind of scandal will have serious adverse effects, and may affect the great cause of benchmarking for all mankind. But I'm different. I'm a manager, someone who deals with bureaucrats. Everyone in the public agrees that I am not an innocent person. This kind of thing will not cause serious adverse reactions to me. Even in turn, I sent a "false handle" to my potential enemies. Those who think they can manipulate me will instead make a tacit agreement not to publicize this news and keep it. 】

[In the eyes of some people, I am not a ruthless ruler who can calculate interests to the extreme, but a person who will be carried away by anger and will not have to avenge his friends in order to have a bright future. Such a person is obviously easier to control than a purely cold person. 】

【and……】

Xiang Shan paused for a moment, then raised his head...

Jeanne turned her head and looked at the dim sun in the dark starry sky through the camera outside the spacecraft.

[I have retained relevant evidence. If one day, I... our career is in dire straits because of this matter, then I will push Yawgmoth out to block the knife. I told Yawgmoth this clearly. To me, this flaw that was deliberately sold was ultimately a "false flaw." If one day, this stain appears on Yawgmoth and it will not affect the process of human benchmarking, and I can't get along with those in power and they challenge me on this point, I will do that. I asked him to be ready at any time...]

——This is the only punishment I can give him...

[Punishment...] Jeanne whispered.

This was not something Xiangshan conveyed to Jeanna consciously, but a sigh that flowed into Jeanna's consciousness unintentionally.

It is difficult for the law to punish Yawgmoth. The country where Kanbaru-san died was simply a quagmire and a cesspool. When the civil war broke out, not to mention the judiciary, even the government itself was paralyzed.

Let Yawgmoth's own homeland come? However, let Yawgmoth, the core figure in the human standardization project. Falling into the hands of a world hegemon may not be a good thing for humanity.

And, what exactly did Yawgmoth do?

In name only, he hired a group of private investigators to investigate the death of his friends. This is completely legal - although anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "private detectives" are mercenaries. But that's the banner they put up.

The United Nations declared mercenaries illegal as early as the 1970s. In principle, recruiting, funding and training mercenaries is a crime in all United Nations member states.

But actually?

The mercenaries continued to exist under different names. The whole world knows they exist.

The object of public international law is sovereign states. Xiangshan went crazy and sent Yawgmoth to the International Court of Justice, which only gave the country of Yawgmoth's nationality a chance to reach out.

- I hope this warning hangs over his head...

——This is the only punishment I can give him...

Jeanne had a hard time understanding all this. The complex rules of the old days were difficult to understand. It’s hard to understand the pattern of behavior in which everyone pretends that the rules exist despite clearly ignoring them. The relationship between Xiangshan and Yawgmoth is also difficult to understand.

In the late 1940s, what emotions did these two people communicate with?

How do they maintain daily conversations?

[Okay, let’s end this topic. Daughter, tell him your condition and then find a solution. ] Zhu turned his back towards the mountain, [He should be very tame now. 】

Jeanne looked at Li Zheyuan again.

Li Zheyuan and Asjia were frightened by Jeanne's long silence and daze. Li Zheyuan unknowingly finished complaining to Xiang Shan and just stared at Jeanne.

Asjia said: "You are...becoming more and more abnormal...just in the past two days..."

Jeanne nodded: "Indeed, because my life countdown is about to stop. Asgar, do you want to know what happened to me just now? Do you want to know why I kidnapped this bastard? Do you want to know why we did it back then? Will it be cleaned?"

Jeanne said, walking towards the preparation equipment.

The transparent protective cover of the instrument is closed. Then, several robotic arms hung down from above and began to dismantle the outer armor of Jeanna's head and remove the electronic equipment covering the brain-computer interface.

Biological tissue is directly exposed.

Asgard exclaimed.

Jeanne's brain has been slightly deformed. Wisps of strange colors are revealed in the folds of the cerebral cortex. There are several items directly implanted in the brain that cannot be disassembled and remain on the brain.

That's the integration of artificial neural circuits.

A stream of data flowed out along the wireless signal in the spacecraft.

"This is a tumor in my brain. This is the result of ultrasound imaging," Jeanne said.

Asga was shocked: "This... you are actually still alive?"

"This tumor is also very special. It should be the result of redifferentiation of neuron cells. The proto-oncogene of neuron cells is activated again and gains the ability to grow. And this artificial neural circuit connects my high-level cortex and internal …”

"The function of these artificial neural circuits is to introduce the neural signals preprocessed by my neural network into the lower parts of my brain. These parts have undergone strange cancerous changes due to the effects of drugs or viruses..."

"Yes, it turns out that I..." Another voice - a man's tone came from the synthesizer.

This is a standalone synthesizer. Asga followed the wiring and found that the external wiring of the synthesizer was actually connected to those artificial neural circuits...

"This...what is this..."

"Me? I am the evil spirit fed by Xiangshan's memory... I am Xiangshan who was reborn in this tumor." Zhu Xiangshan said in a gloomy tone: "Director Li, be happy... be happy that this girl still needs you. Use craftsmanship to treat my tumor. Otherwise, you would have died..."
