One hundred years after the ascension of the Holy Father Janus to heaven, Jiang Zhou, the Holy Son, will return. At that time, he will use the power of the Holy Spirit to bring the blessings of the Abyss and Dark Web to everyone, and guide human intelligence into the next bright era...
This statement, which sounds very "Apocalyptic" style, is said to be the revelation that the founder of the Holy Trinity Church received from "Janus".
In the eyes of many rational people, this is just another common rhetoric used when establishing a new religion - promising believers that there will be a better world waiting for them on the other side or in the future. Often only in this way can they be willing to sacrifice their present for it.
It's a very rational insight. If Jiang Zhou hadn't been the person involved and had indeed "returned" a hundred years after Janus "ascended to heaven", maybe he would have felt the same way.
But right now, he just wants to know more about this church.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zhou did not find much useful information about the "Holy Trinity Church" on the World Wide Web. This is not because there is too little information he can find. On the contrary, there is too much useless and false information, making it impossible for him to retrieve anything useful. This is also a common method used by many super companies in this era to cover up the historical truth. method.
After all, the best place to hide a grain of gravel is in the desert.
The only historical fact that Jiang Zhou could determine was that the church's organizational structure was personally destroyed by the Jupiter Group during the Second Cyber War, and it has since completely lost its ability to mobilize.
There are still many groups that claim to have inherited the "Holy Trinity" faith. But excluding those interest groups formed by fandom enthusiasts, the rest, whether online or offline, in Jiang Zhou's view, are 90% dominated by super corporations.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no members of the fundamentalist church anymore, but because of the company's wanted pursuit, they are now likely to change their identities and hide their names.
And if Jiang Zhou guessed correctly, the guy who rebuilt the City of Sages was probably a real member of the cult.
According to the guard captain, that guy is now living in this utopian city as a member of the citizens.
What he needs to do now is to find that person in this city without a fixed identity.
Of course, in addition to this, Jiang Zhou also did not forget the task that Charon had assigned him previously - to help him find the "steed" from his past and bring it out of the Narcissus Plain.
After all, his "ashes" are still in his pocket, waiting for Charon to find someone to help sew his own back and return to the basic reality.
All I can say is that I hope they are the same person...
Jiang Zhou thought so.
"Here we are."
The guard captain who was leading the way suddenly stopped and then looked up at the building decorated with the grapevine laurel logo.
Jiang Zhou silently recited the name of the building written in Greek letters at the gate.
Bacchanalia...
It is one of the only two institutions with management functions in the City of Sages, and its responsibilities here are extremely simple - responsible for organizing and coordinating all entertainment activities in the entire city.
This may be too abstract - according to the captain of the guard, the Dionysian Bureau will detect regional pressure in the city through the city management system. When a certain area becomes too lifeless, the Dionysian Bureau will put in elements that will stimulate that area.
For example, the spatial layout will be changed to allow carnival parade teams to pass by; the weather and scenery in that area will be adjusted; and some gases that can make people feel happy but will not be addictive will even be mixed into the local air.
"That sounds like something a mind tuner would do."
Jiangzhou Road.
The guard captain nodded and confirmed his guess:
"It is true that there are mental adjusters there who are responsible for controlling and adjusting, but in fact the algorithm is responsible for most of the work."
Of course, in addition to this, the Dionysian Bureau will also be responsible for issuing this kind of points called "Dionysus Points" - when citizens have made outstanding contributions to the City of Sages and proved their abilities, they will Issue this point. You can only collect it for yourself and use it, and cannot trade it.
As for what exactly this points can be used for...
"To put it simply, it is used to exchange for strong stimulation."
The captain of the guard said so.
The other party didn't say what specifically stimulated it, and Jiang Zhou didn't think it was something suitable for underage children to know. It's just that the other party has repeatedly promised that the two rules of the substitute program that cannot harm himself or others, and that he cannot force anyone except himself to do anything, are still in effect.
At least there can't be as many bloody and cruel things as in the previous "Doomsday Carnival" era.
"By the way, the Bureau of Dionysus is also responsible for dealing with the 'Wandering Souls' and the 'Last Man' - after all, these two existences are inextricably linked to over-indulgent and out-of-control enjoyment."
The captain of the guard added this when he sent Jiang Zhou to the door.
"So, what exactly are Wandering Souls and Last Man?"
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but ask.
The person who answered Jiang Zhou's question was a woman with gold powder on her skin, an extremely sexy figure, and very revealing clothing. She pushed out the revolving door of the Dionysian Bureau building gracefully and said in a lazy voice:
"The wandering souls, just like the lady behind you, are the remains of the substitute program after the self-awareness dissipated. As for the last people... they are a group of people who are still immersed in the 'good old days' before the transformation of the City of Sages. Time', hoping to once again turn the city into a maniac massacring art galleries.
"Generally speaking, those who were keen on torturing other people in the past tended to become 'last men'. And those victims who were tortured by them, or tortured themselves, tended to become 'wandering ghosts'."
As she spoke, she shook hands with Jiang Zhou very familiarly.
"It is an honor to welcome a new person. I am the receptionist here. Next, I will be responsible for your registration."
She said this, then turned to look at the guard captain and the guards who walked together and continued:
"The rewards for searching for 'newcomers' and discovering 'wandering souls' have been assigned to everyone's accounts. Thank you for your hard work along the way."
And those few people waved their hands to indicate that it was nothing. The two sides exchanged greetings for a few more words, and then the captain of the guard led the people away.
Looking at the retreating figures of those people, Jiang Zhou asked:
"Identity registration? But isn't the City of the Sage proud that every citizen has no private identity?"
Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, the golden girl shook her head and explained:
"Except for the algorithm's data center, the information you register will only be used by you... So, are you ready to become a member of the City of Sages?"
To put it another way, in the Dionysus Bureau’s data center, there is the identity information of all citizens in the entire city?
Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, at least he would know where to get what he wanted to know... instead of being like a headless fly looking for a needle in a haystack in this nameless city.
The subsequent plan was quickly taking shape in Jiang Zhou's mind - he only needed to find an opportunity to hack into the database of the algorithm center, and then he could retrieve the one, or two, people he wanted to find.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou asked casually:
"Before I answer 'yes', I have one more question... In addition to the Dionysus Bureau, there is another administrative agency in this city, the Sun God Bureau. What are the tasks they are responsible for?"
Obviously, the management philosophy of the City of Sages has some shadow of anarchism. Just standardize a few basic orders, and then allow them to develop naturally, giving individuals the greatest freedom - no management class above ordinary people, holding the power transferred by citizens, can implement it against the will of the individual Or force something.
The only two management agencies essentially provide public services.
But if the Dionysian Bureau is responsible for providing entertainment, then what is the responsibility of the Apollonian Bureau, which symbolizes reason?
To this, the gold-pink woman replied:
“Quite simply, they are responsible for organizing the extraordinary achievements of this city and then giving back to each and every citizen.”
"Can you explain it a little more...specifically?"
Jiang Zhou frowned and asked.
"This is the abyss, dark web, and cyberspace. Therefore, the truly valuable jobs must be those that are creative and can bring new information. In fact, every citizen here can be regarded as Scholars, inventors, engineers... here, citizens are exploring extraordinary achievements that have never been explored before, and creating countless great things every moment.
"Those theoretical innovations and engineering optimizations will eventually be summarized by the Sun God Bureau and integrated and packaged. Then they will be made into a compressed form that can be used by fools, making it convenient for all citizens in the city to use... They are both Abyss Wanderers , I think you should understand what exactly I am referring to."
The gold-pink woman said with a strange smile on her face.
Jiang Zhou took a deep breath first, and then said in disbelief:
“Technology Blueprint…
"You are here to design technological blueprints and have permission to create and print?"
