The "puppet circuit" installed in Jiang Zhou's body has been adjusted by Hecate - on the premise that it will not be manipulated, some connections with superiors are deliberately retained so that Ye Qian, who is at the top of the chain of command, will not be affected by this. And become suspicious.
Of course, conversely, it can also be considered that every instruction issued by Ye Qian needs to be authenticated by Jiang Zhou before it can take effect.
However, it turns out that after reaching Depth 4 in the Path of Theseus, can you directly log in to the stand-in program of your "puppet" through the digital personality?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If it weren't for Ms. Hecate's blessing, I might have fallen directly here.
In addition, if Depth 4 can seize control of the stand-in program, wouldn't higher levels be able to directly control the body in the base reality?
This sounds like a fantasy, but Jiang Zhou happens to know a very similar example.
That's who he is.
Janus program, controllable elements, Liao Qi... His consciousness is synchronized without delay and connected to different bodies at the same time.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like the state that the Road of Theseus may reach in the future.
But if this is the high-level ability of the Path of Theseus, then how did the Janus program accomplish all this without even the existence of hardware equipment?
However, this is not the time to think about this issue now.
The above thoughts flashed through Jiang Zhou's mind like lightning, and he instantly returned his attention to the present moment.
Now he is still on the battlefield.
First, there is the processing of Ye Qian’s soul copy...
This is a very simple digital personality without the support of a stand-in program. It is essentially a high-precision brain model installed in a vat. After regaining control of his body, Jiang Zhou casually clicked delete, and this "Ye Qian" was "annihilated".
The other party didn't even have the qualifications to resist.
But Ms. Hecate, why are you so into this?
Seeing the vicious dog head suddenly appearing and chewing up Ye Qian's copy of consciousness, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but have the urge to hold his forehead.
He said that "Goddess of the Dark Moon" was just a vest chosen to prevent retrieval... But I clicked delete, and the "mark" of blessing immediately created a visual effect of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
"you……"
On the other side, after seeing Ye Qian's digital personality being swallowed up. The six cameras on Wutou-23's face lit up red like warning lights.
For a moment, he was too shocked to say anything.
He felt as if he had been arguing with his companions for a long time after catching a fish as to whether the fish should be braised or steamed tonight. Finally, when the two finally reached an agreement, the fish suddenly jumped out of the barrel and killed the people who came with it with a knife.
"Are you surprised? In fact, there is no need at all."
Blurring his own coordinates, Jiang Zhou hid himself in the diffuse mist.
"To use the parlance of this era... when a company accuses you of colluding with AI, you'd better really collude with AI."
Jiang Zhou's voice reached Wutou-23's ears from all directions.
It was also at this time that Wutou-23 finally remembered.
In the previous dive operation, as a member of the Wolfsbane team, I was sent to search and rescue the deep dive team. During the return trip, he once felt a hound as black as carbon, squatting on the top of a certain building, staring at him with blood-red eyes.
Actually, it's not staring at me...
Wutou-23 felt a flash of electricity behind his back.
At that time, he was carrying this guy named "Theseus" to the surface - at that time, this guy was just a low-level caveman.
And the black dog, the messenger of Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, was actually watching the other party leave at that time!
"Why would He choose you? A useless person who didn't even have a brain-computer interface installed not long ago and has only half a life left."
After the brief shock subsided, Wutou-23 tried to calm down, he said this.
"Who knows? Maybe those artificial intelligence standards for identifying people are just that unique."
The man's voice came from all directions again.
The surrounding scenery turned into a wilderness filled with mist at some point - a three-way intersection appeared in front of him, and the three forked roads extended into an almost endless distance.
It's not that his vision has been invaded, but that the other party has hacked into his surrounding environment.
After completing the self-examination, Wutou-23 confirmed this.
In this case, the situation is favorable to me...
Obviously, although the other party can change the surrounding environment, he does not have the ability to hack into his own firewall from a distance and directly destroy his avatar... Otherwise, he should die if he meets him now.
Wutou-23, who has experienced many battles, quickly analyzed it.
At the level of Depth 4, even if there is no adjustment and transformation in the direction of hacker operations, information protection capabilities can be obtained that are sufficient for self-protection.
Coupled with the various firewalls installed by the company in its own brain-computer interface, and the hardware level adjusted and modified by the opponent's depth 1, no matter how magical the algorithm given by Hecate is, it is almost impossible to kill yourself through remote hacking. An impossible thing.
Thinking of this, Wutou-23 calmed down completely.
The Delphi Oracle system implanted in the brain was immediately activated - this depth 4 adjustment and transformation ran some kind of non-causal logical calculation model. It allows you to vaguely assess the threat level of the opponent even without any intelligence.
It's more like a prophecy than a prediction.
[Threat Assessment: Medium]
This is the calculation given by the Delphic oracle system - as usual, it does not give reasons. In other words, even if reasons are given, they cannot be understood by human thinking.
Medium means that although there is danger, in other words, the combat effectiveness of the two sides will not be too disparate.
This is normal. After all, the other party is just a depth 1 adjuster and an unsophisticated hacker. Even with the blessing of those god-like AIs, the hardware level here is only too strong.
Even if Hecate's blessing program is well written, running on the opponent's small body with a depth of 1 is bound to not show much strength.
Unless the other party can directly summon the goddess of the dark moon, or the other party directly mobilizes the power of the goddess of the dark moon through blessing - but in this case, the device that is monitoring the fluctuations of the abyss dark network will immediately Exception information is presented to company executives.
Then it can be regarded as another form of completing the mission, and you will die without regrets.
But at this moment, the other party only dared to hide in the fog.
The delay in launching an attack like this speaks volumes.
"So, where is your bottom line as a human being? Colluding with the AI from the abyss and dark web to deal with your own kind. Do you know that during the lunar eclipse ten years ago, the Goddess of the Pluto caused damage to the largest colony on the moon, Golden Branch City? How big a disaster did it cause, and how many people were killed directly or indirectly?”
In order to test the truth, Wutou-23 asked in an extremely serious manner.
Will, as the weakness of human beings, is always the first priority to be defeated in battle.
"Now it's too late to return astray, Theseus, don't be a sinner of history..."
"It's better to wait until I have truly become a sinner to say these words of yours."
Jiang Zhou on the other side interrupted directly.
You actually want to morally kidnap a historical sinner?
Sorry, I am the number one historical sinner in the world. Counting all the Class A war criminals from several world wars together, they may not be as high as his KD.
However, this concept that is too far away from the individual makes it difficult for Jiang Zhou to have a real sense of it.
You go back in time and tell the first ape who learned how to use fire that hundreds of millions of your kind will die in the future because of your discovery. Do you think he will pay attention to you?
What he is really struggling with now is how to kill the depth 4 adjuster in front of him.
At this moment, under the "hacker's eye" view, the world in Jiang Zhou's eyes melted into a vast sea of data.
Just like building a castle on the beach, he can replace the surrounding environment with another look at will - don't ask why there are still three forks, fog and black dogs. Ms. Hecate left the buildings in the blessing to choose from. These are the only models available...
In short, if the interactive environment of this warehouse is a model made of gravel, then Wutou-23 in front of you is a statue made of reinforced concrete.
It was not impossible for Jiang Zhou to chip the statue into pieces, but first of all, he had to be close enough, and secondly, the time needed was long enough - optimistically, the distance and time he needed would be enough for the other party to blow him apart. More than ten times.
He raised his hand tentatively, and the attack command turned into a running evil spirit and attacked Wutou-23. However, before the evil spirits in the shape of black dogs could reach the opponent, they fell headlong into the "ice wall" and turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated.
In response, Wutou-23 also fired a hot melt beam into the fog in the direction of the attack.
First there was a "hissing" sound of evaporating water rising, and then there was a burst of explosions like the roar of a hell dog.
A beam of hot melt that was so hot that it was almost dazzling accurately locked onto Jiang Zhou and rushed towards him.
Jiang Zhou's way of coping was to restore part of the fog to the model in the warehouse - the super memory ability brought by the flash memory biochip allowed him to remember what happened before each piece of fog in the amorphous fog. Modeling of the warehouse represented.
He was behind a thickened alloy container and dodged the blow.
Under the terrifying temperature of the hot melt beam, the container melted quickly like chocolate, turning into molten iron and splashing everywhere.
And the scalding temperature swept along the thin air.
Jiang Zhou felt that his skin was instantly dried out of moisture, and the fat under the skin was about to melt and boil.
Immediately convert the melted container into mist to avoid the terrible temperatures and splashing molten iron. Jiang Zhou once again escaped into the fog before the opponent's next hot melt beam arrived.
On your own, you can't get close to the opponent, nor can you buy enough time to hack.
Jiang Zhou thought.
He needs a reliable forward.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou crossed the three-way intersection and changed his position coordinates.
He appeared directly on the other side of Theseus' warehouse.
