The joke is on, Zhao Xihua didn't really come to Lu Ning when he had nothing to do.
Lu Ning's understanding of the areas was two, three, and ten, while Zhao Xihua started from the eight areas and became more aware of the contradictions between the first and sixth areas.
"Circuit C, as the core of the city, has strong control over the entire city, but don't you think that some aspects even exceed ordinary control?"
"That's right."
The two of them and Chang Zibin found a deserted restaurant, went in, found a few seats and sat down, and began to exchange information on their side.
"I have noticed before...Although Rabbi Lins is well prepared, his reaction time is about an hour before he can carry out countermeasures. There is no such time difference at all on the C circuit."
Whether it was the previous super power target, HELLSPEED's red bounty, or the subsequent zombie episode where the order was given to kill Remington, the C circuit issued the order almost instantly.
"The so-called execution speed of commands is not something that can be shortened by one person's reaction and wisdom. It requires the synchronization and coordination of the entire system. Unless you are someone like Alien Tongxin, it is impossible to achieve such a high execution efficiency." Zhao Xihua said.
"That's right."
"But I thought about it again, why can't the C loop be a system?"
Lu Ning couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this idea, and had to admit that this guess was very possible.
"You see, when each region reveals its own strength, there are some hidden high-tech means, so artificial intelligence..."
"That's why the C loop needs authorization. It must abide by some set system regulations!" Being reminded like this, Lu Ning also immediately connected some weird situations he had discovered on HELLSPEED before. "He has a lot of freedom to execute Powers, such as Sabbath broadcasts, collection of evil scriptures... At the same time, the C loop is also responsible for all manager communications, after all, this is what it is best at."
"You know a lot." Zhao Xihua praised, "Because of this, we can't just let the war continue like this. Rabbi Lins will still lose. It's just a matter of time. We must carry out special operations for the C loop." Arrangement.”
"In other words, destroying the Heavenly Kingdom Council?"
"That's right."
The two looked at each other and realized what the other meant.
"The so-called Heavenly Council is not the heir to the evil of the Origin of Evil, nor is it an individual with powerful superpowers, but the ten managers who make up the entire Sin City as a whole - the most important thing here is not the people."
"...but the existence of this city." Lu Ning continued.
Zhao Xihua pulled off a piece of note paper and began to list the results so far.
"The evils of the essence that we control include rage, greed and gluttony among the seven deadly sins. In addition, jealousy is in the third area and lust is in the seventh area. Both areas are biased towards your side and are controlled by the Sacrifice Club. If you are arrogant, then except for the last one, laziness, these seven items are basically irrelevant to the main city."
"Um."
"As for the Ten Evil Virtues, greed, instability and cruelty have been resolved, and the ability to materialism and atheism has been proven. Apart from the two on your side, the most critical thing now is the remaining three Sefirot."
"Wait a minute, aren't we going to attack this city hub?"
"Yes, C loop, the core of the city, there must be a battle between us. As the place where the source of ugliness is located, I can try to interfere. But don't you think the other two have some problems?"
"You mean... while the managers of all districts are dispatched, some even going to the battlefield in person, the managers of these two districts still stand still?"
"right."
Zhao Xihua lightly crossed his fingers.
"Remember the mission prompt? It is not necessary to kill all the members to destroy the Kingdom of Heaven Council, and the converse meaning of this sentence is..."
"We need to kill some key people."
"And those who can endure at the last moment must have ulterior motives."
====================
Gunk returned to his office.
Most of his colleagues know him as an ordinary history professor, and there are many people who knew him before, but their "history" has been tampered with.
When people in District 2 were in panic, many people were trying to find a safe place to take refuge. Gunk naturally knew the location of the shelter in District 2 and gave many people directions along the way.
When he returned to the office, he found his temporary agent waiting nervously.
Li Yanke.
This professor, who was not particularly conspicuous in the first place, had shown great enthusiasm for exploration in recent times. Gunk made appropriate contact with him, and with just a little use of his abilities, he made him reveal the progress of his investigation.
"Manager! Our current situation is very urgent! If we want to implement it..."
Li Yanke was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Bring your book and come with me to meet someone."
Gangke raised his hand to stop Li Yanke's next words, took out the car keys from the drawer and turned around to leave.
"Calm down. No one knows what we are going to do now. Even if there is, I will make that history disappear. Remember, as long as you can ensure a calm response, there is no danger in our actions."
Mentioning Li Yanke's advice along the way was one of Gangke's pleasures in his spare time. Soon the car drove into District 4, in front of a long-abandoned house.
"What are we doing here now?"
"Be quiet, come visit an old friend." Gunk got out of the car, walked to the house, and knocked on the door.
After about five minutes, the door was opened.
A maid with a solemn expression looked out from the crack in the door. When she saw it was Gunk, she nodded and gave up her position.
"Beluffy, is Utopia here?" Gunk was also quite polite to this maid.
"Master is still in bed."
"Uh...is she awake?"
"woke up."
"Please help me ask her if it's a good time to meet her."
Beluffy nodded, turned around and walked down from a cellar entrance on the floor.
"Who lives here?" Li Yanke looked at the dilapidated environment around him and asked involuntarily.
"When we first established the city, there were ten people." Gunk said with a little nostalgia. "Now most of them are gone. I shoulder the responsibility of blurring the history of the city and persist until now. But here is another One who has remained until now.”
"Then this person must be very powerful, right?"
"Don't pry, she won't get involved in any affairs in this city at all. Even the fourth district entrusted to her has become like this. You can imagine how much she hates getting involved in things here."
"That's not right, Gunk."
A girl in a nightgown walked out of the cellar with a smile. She just glanced at Li Yanke and didn't care, and said to Gunk:
"An interesting drama should be one in which each character has his own soul and is developed. The audience should not point fingers at the actors' performances. This is the reason why I don't like to be responsible for anything."
"Long time no see." Gunk looked very happy.
"The last time you came here was twenty years ago when you came for Christmas. This city is so big. Is it so difficult to visit occasionally?" Utopia scolded, and then waved, "Come down. Is there anything you want to say?”
"No...it won't pass. The time is ripe."
Fantasy paused. When she turned around, her expression was already a little scary.
"So what are you talking about this time? Last words?"
"What you said is too serious. I'm just asking you as a backup...just in case." Gunk thought for a while before deciding on this word.
"boring."
"Um?"
"I will be bored, Gunk. Two audiences can discuss, but one audience can't talk about it even if they have great fun." Utopia waved his hand, "You are depriving me of the fun here, and once this city There is nothing good for me to watch, I will leave immediately. You know I have no attachment to this place at all."
"Ha... So are we old friends the last thing that will keep you here?"
"You take yourself too seriously. But okay, if you really cause any natural or man-made disaster, I can make some adjustments. Don't expect too much, my power has limits."
"Actually, you have always been against me."
"Yes, but I have to respect the wishes of my old friend. I still think your idea is unreliable."
"However, no one can stop me. Even if I provide so many conveniences, those closest to the facts still fall short. Don't you think this is the result of some kind of will decision?"
"I don't think the only thing that can control me in this world is my own will. I don't like the fate theory of you guys."
Gunk suddenly smiled.
"A hundred years ago, there was definitely a very quarrelsome person standing here to refute you."
"A hundred years ago, there would have been someone on my side who had the same views as me."
Utopia also laughed.
The laughter of the two became more and more in tune, and was gradually mixed with some inexplicable emotions.
Then, slowly converge.
"Then...goodbye." Gunk turned around.
"Idiot, you will never lose the reputation of your source material." Xuanxiang cursed with a smile, turned around and walked down the stairs of the cellar.
===========================
The world has ushered in the craziest dawn.
Heavy rain and strong winds were no longer bad weather. What was even worse was the scarlet inverse Kabbalah shadow that appeared above the dark clouds.
"How did this happen?"
Looking at the terrifying celestial phenomenon outside the window, Lu Ning couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. Unexpectedly, someone actually answered her words.
"Loop C activated the emergency plan."
Lu Ning turned her head suddenly and found the woman squatting on the ground behind her. She was wearing a wet raincoat, and her long hair was stuck together by the rain. She had a beautiful appearance, but her face was a little depressed.
"Is this voice...the one opening the door?"
"It took me several days to solve Long Guihai, but his death allowed the C-circuit to activate this thing."
Rie Kazama glanced out the window.
"C-loop is a program. It is not particularly appropriate to call it artificial intelligence. It is an electronic soul created by the first C-loop after encoding its own way of thinking before death. This program has become a human being behind the network. A ghost that monitors the entire city. As an insurance to limit unexpected situations, the first C-circuit set up an authority administrator..."
"Long Guihai?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't know these things until after his death. Now the C circuit has no restrictions at all, and its superpowers can be completely liberated..." Rie Kazama smiled bitterly, "It is this At the core of the city's leyline, in this leyline furnace, everyone's sins will crystallize, it is only a matter of time."
"Crystallization? What does that mean?"
"It's better for you who possess the evil of the essence... But I'm not so relaxed..." Rie Kazama raised her hand. The arm had been abnormally deformed, and countless small transparent squares emerged from the surface of the skin. Spreading also exposes the blood vessels and fat under the skin directly to people's eyes.
"You can't hide this ability even if you hide inside the door. I doubt that the evil code was developed in this way, but... I'm almost out of strength, Lu Ning. I can't provide any help in the future. I'm just trying to survive." It’s very difficult to get down…”
Lu Ning walked over, took a look at the changes on her arm, and then flicked the blade of her sword across the square crystal.
After all, the evil of the source of matter was of a higher level than the product. Although it made a harsh scratching sound, the blade still left a scar on the surface of the crystal.
And you can continue if you have scars.
The crystals began to slowly turn into white powder and fall. Kazama Rie looked at Lu Ning with some surprise. Although her body was still getting worse, some crystals were missing and her burden was lighter.
"I... took care of it a little bit. Now you can stay here. I'm going to try to solve the C loop to see if that disgusting shadow can disappear. By the way, Ye Nai is dead. If there is still time later, I think you should be willing to pay homage."
"Ye Nai is dead? She - she is a very clever person..." Kazama Rie was stunned.
"Because of you, she went to investigate the cruelty, and because of me, she knew the truth. She died because she helped the two of us, otherwise she would not have participated in such an irrelevant thing."
Lu Ning took off a raincoat from the coat rack.
"So we have to successfully pass the level and go back alive, so that we won't let her death down."
After zipping up, she opened the door and walked outside.
Every few dozen meters on the street, you can see fallen people, cyborgs, zombies, and even some other combat units. Even Moura's mechanical army seems not to be immune, as crystals begin to precipitate on the metal surface. The indiscriminate attack of C-circuit will undoubtedly arouse the anger of other managers, so its super power is definitely not just as simple as making people lose the ability to fight against these things.
The first step in the furnace is melting and reduction, and the second step should be smelting.
Lu Ning found a bicycle and quickly rushed to District Six.
But will it really be that easy?
