No. 5 “Don’t be the dawn itself.”

Hearing this, Su Mingan really wanted to pull Dr. Akto over to blast the hammer.

He knew this was Akto's last resort. Only with pure data can we resist the chaos and disorder caused by [Third Dimension Invasion]. To prevent mankind from being infiltrated by a higher civilization like [Tavi], a large number of traitors will appear.

——But has Akto never thought about the consequences if the Dawn system is also invaded by Tawei?

Maybe Akto had thought about it, but he had no other choice.

"Dip, beep..."

A ticking sound sounded from all directions in the laboratory.

Many researchers who had just fallen asleep immediately got up from the bed.

"——The Dawn System is about to wake up!"

"——This sound, is the Dawn system updated?"

The Dawn system represents stability, harmony, and reduced crime rates. And Dr. Akto, who transformed the Dawn System, is the god who established all this in their hearts.

"--PhD!"

The doorbell rang at the door, and outside the glass door, assistant Treya put on a white coat and rushed over with a bright face. She is the doctor's life assistant.

Her face is gorgeous, her eyes are beautiful red phoenix eyes, and her beige hair is slightly curled at the end. With her curled eyelashes and gorgeous red lips, she looks like an urban beauty wearing a white coat rather than a scholar focused on research.

"Doctor, are you awake? The Dawn System is about to wake up!" Her face was pressed against the glass door, and her red lips left a small mark on the door.

Su Mingan ignored it.

There were still forty seconds left before the Dawn System woke up, and he was still listening to Xiko's words.

…

【PhD. 】

[You must hide from the Dawn System - in other words, you must not be caught by it before you find the password. 】

[Once it discovers that you are trying to close it, even if you are the creator with the highest authority, it will still try its best to remove you. 】

[But it is still subject to the three major codes of AI. First, you must not actively attack non-emotionally threatening humans. Second, everything must be based on the survival of the majority of human beings. Third, you must not have irrelevant emotions with human beings. 】

[Doctor, after the Dawn System wakes up, I will not tell you anything about these things. 】

【The time is coming...】

…

Suddenly, Su Mingan saw the room light up. The Dawn system has control over these lights. It is announcing its awakening.

"Ten-nine-eight-!!"

Outside the door, researchers are eagerly looking forward to the awakening of the Dawn System.

Inside the door, Su Mingan was sitting on the bedside.

Bright white light shines on his face - his face is a mixed-race face, with dark gray pupils, a pair of purely human eyes without mechanical fusion.

He listened to the cheers outside the door and deeply felt the enthusiasm for technology.

He has seen the fanaticism of many different worlds and groups.

Floating city in daylight, mania for fertility.

The town of Trilee, the craze for the banishment ritual.

White sand paradise, the craze for "good boy" standards.

Playa, the passion for racial warfare and soul-hunting glory.

Heaven and earth, the passion for "divine correctness."

The craze in the Ninth World, the City of Measurement, made him feel even more deeply - it was more terrifying than divine power and more real than science fiction.

Tests may not be able to determine a person, but a large number of tests will adjust the variance and make up for the gaps. This is the science of statistics. Lies that are told often become the truth, and speculations that are accepted by the public become the truth.

Such is the case with mood monitoring and the Eight personality types. It is based on a vast collection of knowledge books and a large amount of measurement data, allowing people to be convinced in statistics and results.

"City of Measurement..." Su Mingan muttered to himself.

The cheers outside the door continued.

"Three-two-one-!"

They count down like the first bell of the new year.

When the Dawn System officially woke up, Su Mingan heard Xico's last words, like a metaphor or an instruction.

【PhD. 】

[Don't be... don't be the dawn itself. 】

…

"Ding dong!"

[Accept the main mission of perfect clearance·Finding the Dawn Password]

[Task Reward: Career Advancement Right]

…

"Doctor, the Dawn System has awakened..." Treya opened the door.

Su Mingan raised his head. From now on, he could not trust anyone. Including this assistant Treya who seems to have a good crush on him.

Everyone is a monitor of the Dawn System.

——It’s like a player being monitored by the organizer at all times.

The Dawn system, which has fallen into chaos and disorder, must be shut down in time. As Akto, who is not controlled by the chip, he is the only breaking point.

——Just like Su Mingan who has the ability to revert to death. He is the game-breaker in the world.

How similar they are.

Do the copies of the world he experiences hint at something?

…

…

[City of Measurement·Psychological Asylum]

"——Is the food delivery person here? I'm going to starve to death."

"Kill me quickly... I don't want to live anymore."

"Hehe, hehehe, dad, mom..."

In a prison separated by layers of glass, a group of people wearing iron rings mingled together. From the large speaker on the wall, a gentle female voice came over and over again: "Please keep a sunny attitude and try your best to develop a good personality..."

"Please keep a healthy mood and stay away from emotional overload..."

The shelter will try to bring back those with inferior personalities through regular psychological counseling, drug treatment and other means. After all, personality is just a manifestation of human temperament and abilities, and it can be changed subtly.

Today, Shelter No. 3 welcomed a group of psychological counselors.

Among the psychological counselors, there was a young man with a somewhat stiff expression.

"Uh." Lu Shu held it in for a while and then said to the vicious potential prisoner: "...reform well."

He didn't know why he possessed himself and became a psychological counselor. He thought he was only in high spirits when scolding Edward, and otherwise as quiet as a quail.

As expected, the criminal was not influenced by him and even laughed at him, "You can still be a psychological counselor with such skills. I think there is something wrong with the Liming system."

Lu Shu was ridiculed and left silently. He just wanted to find Su Ming'an.

He guessed that Su Mingan was most likely around Dr. Akto, or simply Akto himself. But the core area of ​​the City of Measurement, Central City, has been blocked and no one can enter.

Thousands of people will be dungeons, and players will gather in the direction of the City of Measurement.

Dr. Akto is their core.

Everyone wants to see him.

Of course, being restricted by identity and mission are different - some people want to get close to him, while others want to kill him.

Lu Shu was just about to rest against the wall for a while when he saw a man approaching him.

"...Shh, I am Lu." The man said softly: "There is something wrong with our parallel dungeon. There are too many high-end players."

"Hmm... It should be a balance issue. High-end players are needed to maintain the balance of power." Lu Shu understood the other party's meaning instantly.

"Let's discuss the situation of this dungeon, but it's not appropriate to overdo it. We are all from the City of Measurement. The Dawn System is monitoring us all the time. Remember not to say anything too extreme..." Lu said:

"Everyone's goal is the [Central City] in the center of the City of Measurement, where Aktor's laboratory is. If we want to see him, we must participate in the [Caiusta Selection] on the fifth day of the dungeon. Although it is not I know what this selection is about, but only if you pass the selection can you be qualified to enter Central City."

"Okay." Lu Shu nodded.

"If Su Mingan is Akto..." Lu laughed: "Then he is really invincible from the beginning. All of us players have to participate in the selection to enter Central City and see him. But he was invincible from the beginning. Wait for us in Central City. Do you think... do we look like a group of brave men who have gone through many hardships to meet the evil dragon?"

"If you don't know how to use metaphors, don't use them." Lu Shu said unhappily.

…

[Outskirts of Measurement City·Battle Group]

The noisy tavern was filled with the aroma of wine and wooden barrels. The well-dressed mercenaries in red cloaks clinked wine glasses with each other.

"——Che, would you like a drink?"

A mercenary called out to a man in the direction of the bar.

The man turned around, revealing a handsome face. His brow bones are distinct, his eyebrows are thick and dark, his eyes are extremely bright, and he has the blood of someone who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. He wore a bright red short cloak that covered his lower back, like a bloody flag.

He is the leader of the Chapter, Che Kelstia.

The war group is a large-scale resistance organization located outside the city of measurement. It has many members and a large scale, and most of them are rejected people with inferior personalities.

They advocate destroying the Dawn System, breaking into Central City, killing Dr. Akto and his researchers, and changing the fate of human beings measured by machines.

"Drink less. You will participate in the selection of Caius Tower in a few days - we must break into Central City and kill Akto." Che said.

"Okay! The leader is right!"

"Fuck Doctor! I am not an inferior person!!"

When people were extremely excited and threatened to kill the doctor.

Next to Che, a girl with black hair on her shoulders and an electric rapier hanging on her waist came up. This was his biological sister, Luo.

She lowered her head and stared at the mechanical game console in her hand, with the digital villain jumping on the screen.
