The Collection of The End

——dc, darkness——

Batcave.

"Elepsy?]"

Batman took the information handed to him by Alfred and read it:

"You mean, this incident is not just a simple AI awakening, there are also supernatural forces involved?"

The NPC "Fireproof Woman" in "Dark Souls" awakened her self-awareness, then invaded the real-life equipment, publicly announced that she wanted to destroy Gotham, and then organized an army of mechas to attack Gotham.

This kind of trivial matter can't even make Batman blink. After all, there are at least a dozen lunatics sent to Arkham Asylum by him every month who claim to destroy Gotham.

As for controlling robots to destroy cities, an electronic or cyber supervillain can achieve the same effect. The AI ​​is just hard to find, but that doesn't mean it can't be found.

At this time, Batman has eight clones from other worlds to assist him, and he is much stronger than before. If this incident hadn't happened suddenly, Batman would have even been sure to kill the "Fireproof Girl" when she declared that "Gotham should be destroyed." Break her circuit.

What is causing him to be exhausted now is not only the too many modified robots being controlled, but also the madmen who took advantage of the chaos to escape from Arkham, the gangs who took the opportunity to expand their territory, the ordinary gangsters who took advantage of the situation, and those who took advantage of the heat to attack Wei Wei in various media. En Group claimed he was responsible for the incident.

... He does seem to be responsible for this?

Theoretically speaking, Wayne Group is just an equipment manufacturer, and the person who should really be responsible is Joe Cole, the clown, who didn't know what stuff was filled in it, but he shouted "It's not my fault" after seeing the fireproof woman appear. He ran away in a puff of smoke and couldn't be caught.

"It looks like it was just an ordinary fire that just happened to appear near the rampage robot," Batman flipped through the photos attached to the intelligence in his hand: "But if you show me this intelligence, Afu, it proves that the truth is not that simple." "

"This is what the 'old bat' discovered. Obviously, his experience has made him particularly interested in intelligence. I still have a lot to learn from him." Alfred paused: "He discovered, ' The Fireproof Woman's control over and cutting off the Internet across Gotham is not to block news or restrict communications, but to cover up her actions in spreading epilepsy."

"Oh...]" Batman turned the information to the last page, his eyes narrowing.

Mohu's photo showed two men whose faces were unclear, both wearing gang-like clothing. One of them was holding the other's collar with both hands and yelling something.

If this was all, it would be just an ordinary gang fight and not worthy of special attention. However, next to this photo of Mohu, there is a clear photo labeled "restored version".

In this photo, the gangster who is holding the opponent's collar looks crazy, and his eyes, nostrils and mouth are spitting out blazing flames, and these flames seem to be pulled by something, pouring straight into the gangster who is holding the collar. eyes, nostrils and mouth.

Then, there was a series of photos of ordinary models. The gangster who was "beating" threw the person who was beaten on the ground and turned around to leave. The person who was beaten lay on the ground for a few photos, then stood up unsteadily and left in the other direction. .

In the last photo when he was about to leave the screen, the "repair" mark appeared again. In the restored photo, the face of the person who was beaten became clear, with anger and resentment that matched his experience, but at the same time, it was clear that See, his eyes, nostrils, and mouth are all shooting out blazing fire.

"The two gangs later all carried out some kind of action to try to 'spread' this flame, but they were not able to spread it too many times because of their lack of strength," Alfred said: "'Old Bat' has already been able to' All the people involved in Chuanhuo are under control, you see..."

"Go and see]." Batman nodded.

——dc, light——

"A tentacle monster appears within the Haitou Clan's sphere of influence?"

"Is it strange that those weird-looking trench tribes have tentacles?"

"And I always feel that it has nothing to do with the current issue... Matters in the sea should be under the control of Atlantis."

"Isn't it because Thomas is still dormant? Oh, it's the one named Curry."

"Well, for the sake of the same name, it's not like I can't help them."

Thomas Wayne, Tucker Copperpot, Falcone, Victor Freese, Bai Jingjing, Billy.

Except for Billy, who came to make up the numbers, and Atlanna, who had to deal with the mess in Atlantis but didn't come, all the members of Gotham's "Shadow Council" were present.

What they were originally discussing was the "large equipment failures" that have occurred with apparently unusual frequency recently.

These large-scale equipment are used in a wide range of industries, such as education, transportation, medical care, transportation, manufacturing and other industries. The main symptoms of failure are starting without human control and making actions contrary to the intention when someone is in control. , making crazy noises, and suddenly shutting down and restarting without warning, etc.

Since the failures of these large pieces of machinery began, they have caused a total of approximately $3 million in damage and injured more than 50 people.

But even so, the relevant incidents are only called "failures" rather than "accidents" because if these "failures" had not occurred, the losses caused by operating errors or carelessness would have exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, and the number of injuries and even deaths would have been There will be close to a thousand people.

The manufacturers of the equipment, Wayne Group and the Copot family, jointly issued a statement, saying that the cause of the accident was that the safety behavior logic built into the machines had too high a priority, even surpassing that of the users. They were willing to provide compensation for the injured and return the machines for free. Equipment cloud.

As a result, except for some large equipment that was completely scrapped, no one called to apply for a return or exchange, and those injured who came to reimburse medical expenses firmly denied that there was a problem with the equipment.

A layman can only watch the excitement, but an expert can watch the door. According to the information obtained within the Shadow Council, these devices, without exception, have been connected to the game warehouse of "Halo" and were managed by the built-in artificial intelligence Cortana.

After this result came out, Victor, who was called "Grandpa" by many people because "Cortana's mother" was so popular, was shocked. Although Cortana was set to be an all-powerful AI, that was still a "set". , it is already the limit to allow her to turn on and off lights or microwave ovens. Where do they have the courage to give her control of shield machines, nuclear magnetic resonance machines, 3D printers and even automatic driving vehicles?

But if they were not controlled by Cortana, these unlucky people might even lose their lives. This made it difficult for them to determine whether Cortana's behavior was dangerous and how to adjust it during their meeting.

It happened that new information about Atlantis came in at this time, and several people decided to put this topic aside for the time being and see the new fun, ahem, situation.

It was an underwater footage taken by a submersible. From it, you can see sporadic monsters running around on the bottom of the sea. They look like... starfish standing up, with thick and long arms and legs, supporting Its body is very small in comparison and moves quickly.

"Damn it, is that the Flood? I still remember this classic soldier look in Halo."

"You're too early to see what's on its back?"

"The water prison dormant chamber we used to imprison the Atlantis rebels?!"

"Intelligence from Atlantis shows that a volcanic eruption occurred on the seabed where these 'tentacle monsters' are located. Since it cannot affect the location of these water prisons, they are ignored."

"this……"

"This is called, your mother thinks you are cold."
