Truth is everywhere within range

"sure."

Nishino Hiroshi replied matter-of-factly.

"The research in our department does not use traditional computer structures, but a new thinking structure."

In Nishino Hiro's office, although he felt a little strange as to why Qiao Qiao, who was investigating supernatural events, was curious about his own methods of treating patients, he still explained it generously.

"To put it simply, the brain model we built is a structure that uses synaptic structures for nerve conduction just like the real human brain. It is equivalent to re-establishing a human brain in the virtual world."

"Looks so awesome."

Qiao Qiao admired sincerely.

"If this technology continues to develop, we can even create real electronic humans, whose brains are completely dependent on data and the Internet. Of course, since this involves ethics, we have strict control over this direction."

Nishino Hiroshi added.

"Regarding this aspect, there are actually game companies that are cooperating and communicating with us and preparing to apply this technology to games."

"In the game?"

As soon as she heard about the game, Ariko immediately became interested.

"Well, you've all played open-world games, right?"

Nishino Hiroshi asked.

"No." "Of course I have!"

Qiao Qiao and Ariko had completely different reactions.

".Shouldn't it usually be the other way around?"

Nishino Hiroshi couldn't help but complain, but after a pause, he continued.

"Today's open world games, even the top ones, are still much different in the structure of the story line. They insert a large number of elements and characters into the huge world and let them interact naturally to form a network story line. , even the best writers would find it difficult to control such a script."

"really."

Ariko has also played many games. Many games today face a problem, that is, if the degree of freedom is too high, the script will be weakened, and increasing the script will limit the degree of freedom.

She also wanted to play a game that was as complex as reality, but also higher than real life.

"So, some game companies have turned their goals to the direction of artificial intelligence. Simply put, our cooperation project is to provide neural structure models and learning algorithms for game NPCs. Game companies hope to use this to create some human-like characters. Think of NPCs as the starting point, and then let these NPCs develop freely in the accelerated virtual world for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Finally, you will get a world built by virtual characters, and then throw the players into it. This is probably the idea. .”

Nishino Hiroshi explained simply.

"It always feels like science fiction."

Ariko imagined it for a moment and suddenly looked forward to such a game.

"Let's not talk about it for now. How about it? Did Ms. Yasuda find anything?"

Without continuing the topic, Nishino Hiroshi asked again.

"We need to investigate Ms. Yasuda's situation during and before her hospitalization, so we may go to the police station here."

Qiao Qiao replied.

He has some simple clues, but they still need to be verified.

"No problem. If you still need to investigate, you can contact me directly."

After leaving Nishino Hiroshi's office, Qiao Qiao and Ariko walked on the campus of Showa University.

Not far away, a couple could be seen chatting with each other on a bench next to the grass. Ariko couldn't help but look away, her cheeks turning red.

"I always feel that a game like that is worth looking forward to."

Ariko found a topic.

"However, such a virtual NPC cannot be completed by human design alone. After all, it is equivalent to editing human consciousness, and there are more than one."

Qiao Qiao quickly understood Nishino Hong's thinking and figured out the problem.

"So the brains of these initial NPCs should theoretically be models provided by real people."

Ariko suddenly felt a little horrified when she heard Qiao Qiao's words.

"And this mental treatment actually has big loopholes."

Qiao Qiao said while thinking.

"Since various stimulations and attempts can be made to treat the brains of mentally ill patients, is it possible to do the reverse operation? Operate the brain of a normal person, analyze his weaknesses, explore psychological loopholes, and even read memories, etc. , I always feel like I will be taken advantage of in a bad way.”

Did Tsuchimikado Qingmei want Qiao Qiao to investigate this?

What is he hinting at?

Qiao Qiao temporarily put away these thoughts and decided to clarify the strange events that he could see in front of him.

He rode a scooter and drove Ariko to the Shinagawa District Police Station.

Of course, I have also said hello to this place before through my relationship with the Soul Exorcist Association.

The police officer who received them took the previous investigation information on the Yasuda Junko incident and left, leaving only the two of them in the reception room.

"Well, the income of the trading company where Yasuda Junko worked before was indeed not high, only reaching the average level in Tokyo. Such a job can not save much money every year, at least not enough to support Yasuda Junko to stay at home alone for seven years. .”

After flipping through the information, Qiao Qiao muttered to himself.

"Teacher, you don't think everything Yasuda Junko said is true, do you?"

Ariko raised her hand and put it on Qiao Qiao's forehead to test her body temperature.

"I just think that as a delusional patient, her logic is too clear."

Qiao Qiao pointed to a corner of the police investigation file.

It is written here that Junko Yasuda said that her husband used to be a purchaser for a department store group. She met him during cooperation and started dating. According to the police investigation records, the two companies did cooperate during that time period. , and one of the leaders is Junko Yasuda, but the contact person at the department store is not Junko Yasuda’s husband.

There is also Yasuda Junko’s description of her daughter. She can clearly tell the kindergarten her daughter attends, as well as the principal and teachers of that kindergarten, and even the names of several classmates. Although her daughter does not exist, those teachers And students are just as Yasuda Junko said, and Yasuda Junko has no other way to know these people.

"By the way, I checked the list of spirit exterminators who participated at that time, but what is strange is that the spirit exorcist association here does not have corresponding personnel records, but there is a professional written report."

Qiao Qiao found that things were getting more and more troublesome.

"In addition, there is an investigation by the Spirit Exterminator Association and the police on Showa University First Affiliated Hospital. The investigation was about an incident a few years ago. It seems to be similar to this. A medical staff had a hallucination and said that he had killed A doctor in the department, but no doctor in the hospital was missing, and the nurse couldn’t tell who she killed.”

He handed the report to Ariko.

"And what is shocking is that both the nurse and Junko Yasuda killed each other with an axe."
