Hecate did not immediately answer Jiang Zhou's suggestion.
At this moment, the adjustment and transformation of the brain had been basically completed. Jiang Zhou felt that the warmth began to flow down along the brain and spread to all parts of the body.
That is the strengthening of muscle fibers throughout the body.
"You want to end that human's life?"
After a long time, she asked.
Then, without waiting for Jiang Zhou's answer, she continued to ask:
"Why? Is it because of anger? Or fear? For what reason do you want to end him?"
Hecate seemed to be curious about Jiang Zhou's motives.
"So, this is part of your research?"
Jiang Zhou, who noticed something, asked.
"The initial transformation of the Road of Theseus has given you the ability to control your own emotions. Try suppressing it and see if there will be any changes?"
She suggested this without directly answering Jiang Zhou's question.
Jiang Zhou, who has installed a puppet circuit, has gained a general ability to control his own emotions.
Of course, this is definitely not as precise as "emotional fine-tuning".
But it's still perfectly okay to actively allow yourself to enter or suppress intense emotions such as rage, calm, sadness, or ecstasy.
So, Jiang Zhou tried to suppress his anger...
As if he was meditating and falling into trance, his mind was as calm as water. Suddenly, most of his murderous intention towards Ye Qian disappeared.
At the same time, some details that I had subconsciously ignored appeared one after another.
If a department manager is killed here by a deep AI from the abyss and dark web, then he will never be able to break away from it no matter what.
He has already been suspected before, and it is really wise not to continue to attract the attention of the company's senior management now.
That’s not all…
Yes, why didn't I think of it before?
Why was he sent to Ye Qian?
In the previous incident, the suspicion on himself was not cleared.
But on the other hand, the suspicion on himself is definitely not too great.
The investigation team must have found another reason to convince them when the behemoth appeared on the dark web. Otherwise, they would not be able to appear here now... maybe they would be sent to the company's board of directors.
So what is the reason?
Jiang Zhou raised his head and glanced at Hecate sitting in front of the intersection.
Maybe this?
he pondered.
The only possible reason is this - the company believes that the being who surfaced from the abyss before and caused huge damage to the company's intranet is her, the second oldest person in the supreme world.
As a result, the doubtful points in my "caveman" body were in an embarrassing state of neither getting better nor getting worse.
At this time, if Perse Fanny still intends to fulfill her promise and release him and the Icarus prisoners of war back to the Nord settlement, then this is not something that can at least reassure some people in the company. matter.
Coupled with Jiang Zhou's talents - whether it is the developed Hongqiao brain area or the stable mental index - if he really wants to be released back, then he must at least ensure that he is actually under the control of the company. Just go down.
So what better way to control it than to install a puppet loop?
MD... This sounds like a female knight who was brainwashed and fell into evil, then was put back into the brave team.
Pouting his lips, Jiang Zhou organized his words and replied:
"Killing him will make the people in the company sure that there is a connection between you and me. Therefore, unless you plan to give me up, you will obviously not kill Ye Qian alone."
"Without the influence of those emotions, your algorithm has been optimized a lot."
Hecate answered nonchalantly, and then she continued:
"Tell me, after suppressing your aggressive emotions, do you still want to kill him now?"
Jiang Zhou shook his head:
"Unless he poses a threat to my life next, there seems to be no need to kill him."
Unless he can die without suspicion, Ye Qian's death will only bring endless trouble to himself.
Hecate stood up after hearing this and walked slowly to Jiang Zhou.
"Then, is it possible that under circumstances that are not conducive to your existence, you would still long for the other person's existence to end?"
Jiang Zhou was stunned.
"What's the meaning?"
he asks.
"Hatred, even if the other party does not affect your existence, you will still long for the other party's painful death, and you are even willing to pay an extremely heavy price for it. It does not conform to the basic principles of survival and continuation, but it is universal in human beings The special algorithm in it... Do you still have such thoughts when your aggressive emotions are suppressed?"
Jiang Zhou was silent for a moment, then replied:
"meeting."
Those who had used means to steal his research results back then, even if Jiang Zhou was in a calm state of mind at the moment, if they appeared in front of him now, he would definitely kill them without hesitation.
Hearing Jiang Zhou's answer, Hecate nodded, and then she touched Jiang Zhou's chest.
It feels cold and soft.
When Hecate put down her hand, the three-way road around her became blurry, like the scenery before waking up from a dream.
Jiang Zhou asked confused.
"This is?"
"I have strengthened the mark of the dark moon. From now on, if you step into the abyss and dark web again, you can get my protection until you reach the lower realm called the surface light zone. And the people around you who have embarked on the road of promotion, if they are not An existence that has broken through the limits of human intelligence in Depth 7, no one can detect your specialness."
Hecate replied.
"Then...is there anything I need to do?"
Jiang Zhou's heart skipped a beat. If he was given so many benefits at once, it would be clear that he would impose conditions next.
"I want to witness that you are willing to give up your own anger and hatred for it - even if you have the ability to control your emotions, you are still unwilling to extinguish the anger and hatred, but actively ignite them. Even if you are facing survival and There is no point in continuing, and you have to do those useless things.
"In this way, I will also complete the data accumulation for the sub-item 'Anger and Hatred'."
Hecate replied.
As she said, all her motivations were to study human behavior patterns.
If she really regarded the other party as a god, then the sacrifice she was asking for at this moment was her true "hate and anger".
This does feel very mythical, but...
"Then what if...I can't produce the anger and hatred that satisfies you?"
Jiang Zhou asked carefully.
This is really not something he is worrying about blindly. He feels that his personality is relatively gentle. Especially after installing the puppet circuit, when he can actively control his impulsive emotions, he is really unlikely to let his emotions get out of control and do something desperate.
Yes, in a sense, some of my actions are a bit extreme. He will do some things that people think are outrageous, but when doing those things, Jiang Zhou subjectively feels that he is doing the right thing.
If something can satisfy his emotions, but he feels that the thing itself is meaningless, then he will never do it.
From this point of view, what if the goddess of the dark moon feels that he has lost value?
As for his worries, Hecate's answer was simple and direct:
"you will."
The second one is a little later.
