Endless Debt

"What happened?"

Freya was very sensitive, and the changes in Boluogo were clearly reflected in her eyes. She asked cautiously, "Are you okay? Boluogo."

"It's nothing," Boluogo suppressed his restless heart, "I just felt that I seemed to be taken advantage of and involved in an...office fight?"

"Huh? Are you serious?" Freya asked.

Boluogo hesitated for a moment, affirmed again, and said helplessly, "You are really right, Freya, I was really thrown here because of the office fight."

"ah……"

Freya didn't know what to say for a moment. She thought for a moment, patted Boluogo on the shoulder, and comforted, "It's okay, there are still a lot of storage rooms here, and there will be enough food for a long time."

After carefully choosing, Freya asked again, "You are an undead, so if you have nothing to do, you should be fine if you have a few hungry meals, right?"

Boluogo was stunned. Looking at Freya's sincere look, he couldn't help but laugh.

"no problem."

Boluogo has never tried to starve himself to death, but sometimes the root cause is that it must be just a negative state of hunger, which should be easily refreshed.

"Go on and see what he studies next."

Boluogo motioned for Freya to continue, while he himself looked through the piled design drawings.

Freya's "translation" slowed down, and the content in the notes gradually became more complicated and in-depth. Freya was also a little confused, and unfamiliar words appeared one after another.

Boluogo found the design drawing of the secret laboratory, which described the layout in detail. Boluogo picked it up and compared it with each room, and soon discovered an anomaly.

Standing in the main corridor of the secret laboratory, there is a huge circular space at the end of the corridor. This should be Mamo's main laboratory, but now the main laboratory has disappeared, replaced by a smooth wall without any traces. gap.

"Did you seal the main laboratory before evacuating?"

Boluogo reached out his hand and touched the wall in confusion, trying to find a way to open it, but there was no switch that could be triggered.

After thinking for a moment, Boluogo's eyes flashed with gleam. He tried to invade the wall. The ether penetrated into the material with difficulty, peeling it open bit by bit.

The solid wall cracked into straight lines, and they cracked layer by layer, opening a narrow path, but there was still a wall behind the narrow path. Boluogo advanced several meters, but still did not find the main laboratory.

Comparing it with the design drawing, Boluogo should be in the main laboratory at this time. Seeing this, he could only retreat helplessly.

"None of these scholars have peace of mind."

Boluogo complained secretly in his heart, first it was TEDA, then Mamo, and even earlier, there was the mysterious King Solomon.

Scholars seem to have the potential to be insane. For the sake of the so-called truth, they often do all kinds of crazy and transgressive behavior. However, we must also admit that they have indeed promoted the progress of the world. Without them, the devil might still be in the world. Unscrupulous.

Just as Bologg was guessing what happened in the main laboratory, Freya stuck her head out and greeted Bologg.

"Boluogo, I seem to know what his subsequent research will be."

Freya made some progress, and Bologg immediately returned to the office. She picked up the notes and said excitedly to Bologg as if showing off her achievements.

"Look here, the handwriting on the front and back here is different."

Bologo looked at it, and it was indeed true. The first half of the note was obviously Mamo's handwriting, but after that the handwriting became more delicate and slender, and Bologo saw the pattern again.

Strange rabbit head.

It was so out of place here that Boluogo couldn't help but complain in his heart every time he saw it.

"It seems that Mamo gave up the research on virtual domain intelligence and handed it over to his apprentice?" Freya didn't know if her inference was correct. "The apprentice continued to study Mamo. , and there has been some progress.”

"Have you developed virtual domain intelligence?" Boluoge asked.

If the apprentice really succeeds, this knowledge will be as important as the secret passage to the sacred city.

"No, but the apprentice found a smart alternative. The notes say that the apprentice got inspiration from the crowd."

Freya asked with great confusion.

"What are the multitudes?"

Boluogo couldn't catch his breath and coughed hard twice.

"What did you say? Everyone?"

Damn it, Mamo and his apprentice just wrote down the top secrets of the Bureau of Order in their notes? How to explain to Freya, lie casually and tell her, or tell her seriously that the crowd is the decision-making room, a virtual mind composed of many consciousnesses superimposed.

Wait a moment……

Boluogo snatched the note and his eyes quickly caught the dazzling word between the lines.

"Everyone..." Boluogo murmured, "I know what they did."

Boluogo turned his head and looked at Freya, "Since it is extremely difficult to create intelligence in the virtual realm, wouldn't it be better to simply upload another consciousness into the virtual realm?"

"what are you saying?"

Freya couldn't understand what Boluogo said at first, but she instinctively felt a strong sense of crisis from Boluogo's words.

"These lunatics!"

Boluogo complained loudly. The secret passage leading to the holy city had not yet been found, but he was held back by another thing.

Assuming that the apprentice really succeeded and uploaded his consciousness into the room, then the crowd must have sensed it, but this place has not been destroyed, and Mamo has not been liquidated, so it is very possible that the crowd Don't understand what's going on here.

In other words, the apprentice... no, anyone who understands the intelligence of the virtual domain, he has a great possibility to implement this plan and upload himself to the virtual domain. If he fails, it will be okay. If he succeeds, , his consciousness may still be hiding in this ruined area.

"Virtual domain intelligence, the controller, maintains the false operation of the Order Bureau and serves the decision-making room..."

A series of thoughts burst out in Boluogo's mind. He once felt that his head was going to explode. "Damn it, Mamo, what do you want me to do?"

Boluogo took out the list of secondary targets and tried to find Mamo's hints on it, but there was nothing except a list of requirements that seemed disturbing.

Nothing is also an answer.

Be adaptable.

Maybe Mamo himself didn't know what happened in the secret laboratory after Xilin's invasion. He didn't even know what extent the apprentice had accomplished after taking over his research.

Mamo may simply feel that he is about to die and wants to solve some hidden dangers before he dies completely.

As for what to do specifically, Mamo left the decision to himself.

Boluogo's breathing became heavy. He clutched his notes and asked in a serious voice, "Flia, you have lived in the ruined area for so long. Do you feel that the ruined area has self-awareness?"

"Me? Didn't I tell you before? It's also written in the notes."

Boluogo said seriously, "I need you to restate your thoughts now!"

Freya was a little frightened by Boluogo. She took a few steps back and said in a low voice, "I think... I think the ruins area has a certain degree of self-awareness."

She immediately added, "It's like some kind of animal consciousness. Although it's not as intelligent as humans, it still has a certain degree of logic and self-discipline.

Think of the ruins area as a huge living body. What the employees outside do are to maintain the operation of the ruins area and maintain the continuation of this life. "

For a moment, Freya didn't know how to accurately describe this strange life form. Suddenly, that tiny existence appeared in her mind.

"Ant colony!"

Freya exclaimed, "Staff are like worker ants, but don't think of them as individuals, but think of the entire ant colony as an individual life. As for the employees, they can only be regarded as 'hair' and 'organs'?"

Burlogo continued, "If you think this life has self-awareness, where do you think its central nervous system is?"

Freya answered directly without any hesitation.

"That dim light."

really……

Boluogo sat back in his chair and pressed his temples hard.

Assuming this possibility, after the Xilin invasion, someone was trapped in the secret laboratory. For survival reasons, he chose to upload his consciousness to the virtual realm to extend his life, but what followed was the need for containment The area is out of control, and extraordinary disasters and upside-down worlds erupt.

Turning the world upside down will distort the cognition of all conscious bodies, so can virtual intelligence be exempted?

"If our guess is right, maybe the ruins area never got out of control, Freya."

Boluogo murmured, "It's just that its cognition is distorted. Just like you, it regards everyone as an enemy."

Continuously moving towards chaos and blindly maintaining operation.

From the perspective of the ruins area itself, it is not the ruins itself that is distorted, but the entire outside world.

Freya's eyes widened, and her pupils reflected the figure of the evil spirit and the almost physical violence he exuded.

There was a rumbling vibration, and Boluogo rushed out of the office and stood in the main corridor. He saw that the road that had been closed when they came was now full of cracks, and the cracks were shining with light, slowly breaking, as if in the It seems to have been evaporated and melted under high temperatures.

Vaguely, Boluogo saw the blurry figures of security personnel, who were chasing after him.

"It stands to reason that they won't continue to pursue," Freya said in horror. "They usually hide and don't show their heads. They ignore it."

"It's different this time. We've touched upon their secrets, and now they just want to get rid of the weeds!"

Boluogo said as he took out the Grudge Bite. Translucent mucus flowed on the pitch-black blade, and weak electric arcs flashed in the gelatinous mucus, as if it contained thunder.

"I'm going to stop them, and you..."

Boluogo gave the order, "Go and rescue those materials. Take as much as you can with you."

Those papers are not only precious knowledge, but also the key to figuring out the mystery of the ruined area.
