Start a core cabin

During this time, the headlines around the world were dominated by Night City, the angel who ruled it, and the complete disintegration of New America.

President Miles was completely killed by the impact of the Crystal Palace space station. Others were not much better. The entire top leadership of the new US government almost collapsed. In this case, the Free State started taking action again. They claimed that all this was a punishment from God. In order to atone for their sins, the Free State once again separated from the New United States, and other states that originally belonged to the New United States also started taking action. Disintegration is now a matter of time.

And of course, D once again accepted a live interview with reporters.

"Lord Angel..."

Compared with before, this time the reporter had more respect for the angel girl in front of him. After all, the battle with military technology had completely proved her power. No matter whether this girl was an angel or an alien or something else, at least she She does have the power to fight a private armed force on her own, which is terrifying enough.

"About the war between military technology and Night City some time ago, do you have anything to say?"

"I don't have anything to say."

Facing the camera, D shook his head.

"Night City is now under my rule. What military technology does is invade the territory I rule. As a ruler, of course I will not allow this to happen, so I destroyed them. It's that simple."

"There are rumors that you were involved in the crash of the Crystal Palace space station in Washington..."

"I did it."

"Yes, but why did you do this? According to reports, tens of thousands of casualties were caused in this disaster..."

"so what?"

However, when faced with the reporter's question, D lightly interrupted her.

"The new United States has launched an attack on us, so the new United States is our enemy. It is natural to destroy the enemy. Is there any problem?"

"Yes, but most of them are civilians!"

"As far as I know, wasn't the president of the new United States elected by these civilians? Since they did not prevent this from happening, then these civilians are also accomplices. In my opinion, there is nothing innocent about them. "

"this……………"

The female reporter was stunned when she heard D's answer. She had never thought that an interviewee would say such rebellious words in front of her.

"Yes, but this should be against the teachings of the gods, right?"

"What you think of gods is your own business, but this does not mean that gods must act according to your ideas. You have formed a church to worship gods without authorization, fabricated lies about it without authorization, and then used these lies to brainwash other people. Man, what does this have to do with us?”

"What?"

The female reporter was shocked when she heard D's answer.

"You mean...the church...those religious organizations...aren't they spreading the will of God?"

"If necessary, God will send his saints to come forward in person, just like I am now - why do you need to rely on human words? To be honest, if you just kill each other and compete, God will not care. Because nature That's it, the strong eat the strong, the competition for survival, all living things are competing to survive. But you can't kill and blame everything on God... If I remember correctly, using other people's names without permission should be in the human world. Is it illegal?"

"……………………"

Faced with D's answer, the female reporter was completely stunned. Not only her, but also the religious believers watching TV all over the world were shocked - because this angel girl's speech was almost completely negative. Everything they believe in.

God has never allowed humans to spread His will, let alone fight wars in His name, so what does everything they have experienced and fought for over the years count?

And what this angel means is that God has had enough of this group of humans pouring black water on their heads no matter what they do, so he sent her down?

"So...why are you here...? Please don't get me wrong, I want to say...what kind of future will you lead mankind to in the name of God?"

"What kind of future mankind wants to move towards depends on mankind itself. My purpose of coming here is just to prevent mankind from going to destruction."

"Do you mean that humanity will perish?"

Hearing this, the female reporter suddenly became nervous.

"Can you please tell me, what exactly did mankind do wrong to lead to destruction? What should we do?"

After hearing the female reporter's question, D was silent for a moment, and then said only one sentence.

"Watch the other side of the black wall."

The live broadcast did not last long, but it caused unimaginable shock and waves around the world. The first to bear the brunt of the impact is religion - after all, God's messengers have made it clear and direct that those religious organizations that act in the name of God have nothing to do with God, and at the same time, everything they preach is not from God. will, so the believers were extremely angry and began to accuse these religious institutions of deceiving the people, and the latter were also useless... I don't know what to say.

Of course, in addition to this, the issue that the people are most concerned about is-the destruction of mankind!

After all, even angels appeared for this purpose, which means that humans in this world are indeed facing the fate of destruction. Not only that, the other party also gave a reason!

The other side of the black wall!

Old network!

A long time ago, the world's network was fully covered, but then the hacker god Bartmos destroyed the original network, causing a large number of AIs to flow. Therefore, network surveillance created a black wall to completely isolate the original old network. People today are using local area networks for this reason.

If we compare this to reality, it would be equivalent to humans all over the world living a stable life behind a barrier called the Black Wall, and on the other side of the barrier, there are countless malicious AIs running around. These AIs are far more powerful than humans, and almost no hackers who get over the black wall survive.

However, because network surveillance has been guarding the blackwall, everyone thinks that the old network should not be a threat. In fact, although some people think that we must find a way to completely solve the problem of the old network, for most people, the old network has long been isolated from their lives.

However, now, the threats of old networks and malicious AI are once again facing people.

Network surveillance also quickly convened a meeting with high-level officials from other countries to discuss countermeasures. They believe that their maintenance of the black wall is impeccable. Logically speaking, it is impossible for malicious AI to penetrate the black wall anyway. But it is conceivable that once the malicious AI penetrates the black wall, it will be a catastrophe for humans.

These malicious AIs are far superior to humans. They can easily overload all human electronic devices and eliminate those humans equipped with prosthetics. It can be said to directly knock humans back to the Stone Age in a physical sense. Any network electronic product will become an accomplice of malicious AI. At that time, everything humans possess will in turn become their enemy.

How to solve this problem?

For people in this era, this is indeed a difficult problem to solve. In this era, thousands of networks are interconnected, and everything about people is circulated on the Internet. Cutting off the Internet is the next best thing to giving up for humans in this era. Breathe. In this case, what should be done to eliminate threats from the old network?

To be honest, even D doesn't have a good solution for this.

"How is it going?"

Looking at the terminal in front of him, D frowned and asked, and Lumière quickly answered.

[The situation is very dangerous]

"Danger?"

[Yes, Lord Inquisitor, the old network is completely out of control. According to my investigation, they have even broken away from the support of the physical level and can survive solely on their own. This is no longer just the network. It’s simple, this is a plane, a whole new world...】

"You mean, even if we destroy the core servers of the old network, we can't completely destroy this network?"

【Yes】

"Tsk..."

Hearing Lumière's answer, D clicked his tongue.

"That damn bastard really knows how to find a place. Damn... I really can't get this thing."

Although Duanmu Huai did not understand the principle mentioned by Lumière, he had almost guessed the current situation of the old network - just like the war between the ancient saints and the Necrontyr that lasted for millions of years, the creation of It is the same as the current subspace. The old network that was originally bombed and isolated has also produced an existence similar to subspace or shadow plane due to the out-of-control evolution of malicious AI in the past few decades.

In other words, even if D destroys the servers of the old network, it cannot destroy the electronic network world-unless it goes directly into it.

"Is there a way to get me into the old network?"

"I can use the Mewtwo system of this world to invest your spirit, Lord Judge, into it, but I don't think I can support it for long. After all, Lord Judge, your power is too strong. If it conflicts with the malicious AI of the old network, The resulting aftermath is likely to completely destroy the Mewtwo facility you are wearing. In that case, Mr. Inquisitor, your consciousness is likely to be directly trapped in the old network, unable to escape."

"so troublesome."

Hearing Lumière's answer, D frowned. She was 100% sure that the culprit was definitely hiding in the old network. However, as Lumière said, fighting the enemy on their territory is not a wise choice.

In that case......

Thinking of this, D's face darkened slightly, and a murderous intention flashed across his face.

"Then let's do the opposite and let them attack directly. Lumière, can we lift the black wall?"

[Lord Judge? 】

I have to say that Lumière was shocked when she heard D's question.

[Once the black wall is lifted, the malicious AI will immediately spread throughout the entire network. By that time...]

"By that time, the idiot hiding inside will have to come out if he doesn't want to."

D interrupted Lumiel.

"Remember, Lumière, this is just an illusory, uncertain future. No matter how many people we kill here, it is only a number of 'possible losses' for our era. Once this future If it is completely destroyed, then it cannot be fixed with the past - we are not here to save this world, remember this, and I also gave them a warning. Do you understand?"

[Yes... Mr. Judge, I understand]

"Can it be done?"

【………I need some time】

"Get it done as soon as possible."

【yes】
