The color of cyberspace is changing. Before, it was a clean and tidy blue, but with the appearance of Ultra, she brought her own deep red.
When blue and red are mixed together, the whole space shows a very strange purple. In the past, Su Ming usually called this color 'gay purple', because seeing it gave people a sense of pleasure and joy. Pleasant psychedelic feeling.
In other words, this is the world of 2077. Otherwise, he would even think that Slaanesh is wandering around again.
However, what can be seen with the naked eye is just an appearance. What is actually happening in cyberspace is that Ultra and Lark are fighting for control of this digital field.
It seems to be evenly matched at the moment, so the space turns purple mixed with red and blue.
"Do you need me to intervene? Sheriff." The deputy felt that the situation was a bit out of control. If he didn't intervene, it might affect the next plan.
"No, because Otto's current motivation is more like jealousy."
Su Ming smoked a cigarette calmly, took out the wine bottle and took a sip, and said with a smile:
"The image of Lark is very beautiful, and she appeared with Johnny. Ott didn't know about their relationship, so she probably wanted to teach her boyfriend's new girlfriend a lesson; and Lark thought that Ott was going to kill them, so she naturally He would resist and never thought of explaining, so maybe this whole thing is due to female competition."
"So does Ultra still retain his humanity?" The deputy took a closer look and found that it was indeed the same as what the Sheriff said. Ultra did not attack Johnny, she was completely targeting the lark.
At this point, the adjutant found it a bit funny, because before she became a human, it was indeed difficult for her to understand what human nature was.
"It's hard to say, and even if there is, there probably won't be many." Deathstroke put away his smile, and he returned to the calm state of Gujing Wubo: "It depends on what kind of possessiveness she has for Johnny. , the kind that monopolizes your boyfriend? Or the type that monopolizes food?”
Yes, although the wandering AI Ultra has not shown any hostility towards Johnny for the time being, Deathstroke will not let go of his suspicion so easily. After all, not every AI is an Autobot, and Ultra used to be from Night City.
This feeling is a bit like finding a Gotham man, killing him and turning him into an AI system. Do you dare to say that this system is absolutely fine?
Even Batman doesn't dare to claim this for sure. On the contrary, in his eyes, there are only two kinds of people in Gotham, one is criminals and the other is potential criminals.
"Then why don't you let me take action? I can help the lark." The adjutant had questions again. In fact, she was not worried about problems with the chief's plan. She just hadn't played against other AIs for too long, so now she has some skills. Just itchy.
"You don't think that Lark is just this level, do you? Haha, she is the doomsday weapon of New America, a super genius hacker who only comes out among hundreds of millions of people. And although Ultra was considered a genius during his lifetime, he was only a night-time hacker. He’s just a genius in the city, didn’t you realize that it only took Lark a few hours to figure out how Soul Killer and Mark work? During this period, she was doing other things.”
Exhaling a puff of smoke and sitting against the pillar, Deathstroke signaled the adjutant to calm down.
Perhaps after Ultra became an AI, she devoured the marks of many capable people, greatly expanding her knowledge and abilities, but she had never devoured anyone comparable to a lark.
This is the limitation of the swallowing method. As the host of the symbiote, Su Ming knows this very well. It is very useful to supplement shortcomings, but it cannot effectively increase his upper limit.
To put it simply, if a fish eats a hundred other fish, it is still a fish. Even if it eats fat and strong and becomes the strongest fish, it will still be difficult to turn into a bird.
Lack of an opportunity for qualitative change, or a path to transformation?
Why was the God Eater able to chase Set and Sithorn and force them to flee for hundreds of millions of years? Its essence is not because it ate more in the past, ate well, or mastered many abilities.
But because it was born as an ancient god created by O Shutu and Gaia, not a mortal.
As he spoke, the scenery in the cyberspace changed again. Lark must have activated the ICE she had prepared, or remotely connected to the national supercomputer to provide computing power. Therefore, after a while, the numbers in the room trembled, and then Once the whole thing turned blue.
She won, and it seemed like she was winning easily.
"Wait, don't hurt her!" Just when Lark was about to kill her, Johnny came back to his senses. He turned around and stood in front of Otto, opening his arms like an old hen protecting its chicks: "I believe she didn't mean to hurt us, she's just proud."
"When I went over to perform my mission, I saw some 'love brains' like you, and they didn't end well." Lark stared at Johnny for a few seconds, sighed, and slowly took two steps back. : "I remind you, don't forget what Deathstroke asked you to do."
"I haven't forgotten." Johnny nodded firmly, then turned around and looked at the red translucent figure behind him: "Ott, we have to talk carefully. I have a way to resurrect you now. It only takes a little bit. cost."
The red AI was stunned for a moment, her figure flickering. It took a long time before she accepted the possibility, and she became somewhat interested.
The negotiation, or reminiscing, began like this. Ott indeed had no emotions, but she had all the memories of the past, which made Johnny even more painful. He wanted to make this happen now.
Resurrect your girlfriend.
This may still take a while, as the two digital personalities exchange information in an inefficient way such as language. Su Ming has nothing to say about this, and this is not where he has any objections.
"The lines are not strong enough." He shook his head with regret and took a drag on his cigarette. In the dim computer room, the light from the cigarette butt was particularly conspicuous.
"Oh? Then Sheriff, what do you think they should say?" the deputy asked curiously, her expression of seeking knowledge was always very cute.
But this is not knowledge, but a cold joke. Su Ming replied: "It should be the lark who said, 'Johnny, you will regret it.' Then Johnny disagreed and retorted, 'I am the Hokage. 'Do you think it's more suitable this way?"
"What nonsense?" The adjutant was speechless. After all, she was not a strangler, and there were many jokes that she didn't understand.
"Okay, whatever they say, I think Ott will agree to this condition, whether she really plans to return to Johnny and return to real life; or she plans to blend into human society and cause a catastrophe. At the end of the world, she has no reason to reject my conditions."
After joking, Su Ming stood up, patted his butt and said to the adjutant:
"Get ready. When she nods and agrees, you will send me into cyberspace. Next, I need these two hackers to act as tour guides to take me inside and outside the black wall."
"Understood, but Chief, are you sure that contemplating the existence form of the black wall can really penetrate the gap between the omnipotent universe and the mystery?"
The silver-haired girl started preparations. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. Digital personality was not a particularly advanced technology. She was going to transport the Sheriff's body directly into cyberspace.
