"Are you planning to upload yourself so soon? I thought you would hold on longer."
Seeing the kid call out the interface for contacting the "Dionysus Bureau", he clicked on the option that he regarded as the "surrender" button. Christie lay back on the armchair and raised her hand to block the false sunlight.
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Then, she continued half-jokingly:
"If you want to take this opportunity to put pressure on me to change my environment, then I must say that I will not..." until I get tired of the atmosphere on this beach..."
"How much power can the cracking program brought by Charon release for you?"
In this regard, Jiang Zhou ignored the sarcasm in the other party's words, but directly interrupted the other party and asked.
"Theoretically... about 30%, but in reality, it may not even be one thousandth."
Although she didn't understand what the other party wanted to do by suddenly asking this, Christie still answered subconsciously.
Not only that, she went on to explain:
"The Bacchus Bureau has been monitoring my movements. Even if I show the slightest sign that I might be out of control, it can detect it in an instant. Like me now, hiding under his nose and constructing a scene on the Caribbean coast Basking in the sun is the limit of what I can do without being discovered."
In other words, although she can use 30% of the computing power. But once more than one thousandth is used, it will be noticed.
"I see……"
Jiang Zhou nodded, and then focused on the projection interface again.
Seeing this, Christie took off her sunglasses:
"Just in case, I have to ask first...you don't really think I will accompany you to go crazy and risk your way out of here, do you?"
Although she was very grateful to the other party for bringing Charon's cracking program to her, which freed her from the state of unconsciousness like an endless dream. But it was obvious that Charon, who had signed a contract with him in the past, still greatly underestimated his current predicament.
Just liberating 30% of her power is far from enough to get her out of trouble - even full firepower, or even a slightly stronger state than when she was at her peak, is not enough to get her out of trouble.
"No...I probably know your current state."
Jiang Zhou shook his head in response to this question.
Christie's current state can probably be described by the so-called "man is a knife, I am a fish" - completely suppressed by the special nature of the "Dionysus Bureau", based on the difference in performance, it is impossible to break free on his own. .
Therefore, her current state is equivalent to being in full swing, and she can enjoy it every day.
Taking a deep breath to stabilize his tone so that he would not sound like a liar when speaking, Jiang Zhou said seriously:
"I mean, even I don't know exactly what will happen in a while. But in any case, if something special happens, I hope you can protect yourself without hesitation and without reservation... "
"ha?"
Christie, who was drinking a drink through a straw, almost choked when she heard these words.
She immediately put down the cup and looked at the adjuster of Icarus's path with eyes as if she were watching a bear riding a unicycle. It took a long time before she said:
"Sorry... do you mean to say that that old guy Charon has found a way to get inside the firewall?"
For a moment, Christie could only think of this possibility. But then, she immediately realized the absurdity of it.
If Charon can go directly in and out of the firewall, then what does he need his "horse" to do? Wouldn't it be better to directly create a body that can carry him in the basic reality?
As she expected, the messenger entrusted by Charon shook his head.
"Charon naturally can't come here. I'm just saying that there is such a possibility... Of course, nothing may happen by then. I don't make any guarantees about this..."
Jiang Zhou said vaguely.
It's not that he deliberately wanted to be the Riddler, but what else could he say otherwise?
Of course, having said that, there was still a lot of confidence in his words. After all, it is impossible for Hecate and Charon, two advanced AIs, to really arrange an impossible task for themselves.
In Jiang Zhou's opinion, they most likely knew the real situation on Christie's side, and then arranged for themselves to be the solution.
And I am using the stand-in program of Depth 2, and I want to participate in the conflict between the two Depth 7 adjusters. After thinking about it, there seems to be only one way - since the Depth 7 of Theseus Path can absorb numbers. If his personality is stitched into his own mind, he will use the original secret key to guide the "Dionysian Bureau" to try to absorb "Janus" as his "puppet".
Jiang Zhou tried to activate the secret key himself, but other than activating the "Janus Program" for the first time and obtaining controllable elements, there was no special reaction from him.
But if the other party actively tries to absorb it, that's another matter.
Although Jiang Zhou was very confident, Christie still rolled his eyes at her words.
"It's all about talking, right?"
As she spoke, she raised her right hand and pointed at Jiang Zhou.
A stream of data flowed out from her fingertips, converging into the shape of an ancient copper coin and slowly falling from the air.
Jiang Zhou subconsciously reached out and caught it.
"this is?"
he asked curiously.
Christie replied:
"Something similar to an amulet? Let me first say that it is impossible to protect your mental model in the 'Dionysian Bureau' with this thing alone. But if your personality data has been irreparably damaged, then this Spending money will guide your echo back to the basic reality and say your final goodbyes to your relatives and friends.
"Of course, if you don't leave, maybe you won't be able to use this thing. Let me tell you, if that guy from the Dionysian Bureau does this, he will get out of it sooner or later. If you continue to stay here, you will still have the opportunity to get it in the future. Free."
But for this, Jiang Zhou just thanked him and kept the ancient copper coin.
He said nothing else.
Christie, who could see that the other party had no intention of leaving, could only shrug helplessly and said:
"That's it... It's a pity that I don't have a guy to spend time with. But no matter what, I have to thank you for the sunshine, beach and cocktails... If you can get out alive, please help me Thank you to that old guy. By the way, tell him that just because he ran away when I was besieged by those little bastards, I will never forgive him even in twenty years."
As she spoke, she paused and then said:
"By the way, I never asked, what's your name? We don't have to abide by those bullshit rules in the City of Sages."
Regarding this question, before Jiang Zhou finally clicked "Confirm", he looked at Christie through the projection interface.
Considering that "Jiang Zhou"'s substitute program was still in a "powder" state at the moment, he managed a smile and replied:
"Liao Qi.
"Liao Qi from the underground of Nord Resettlement Area."
…………
After clicking "Confirm", with a flash of dazzling light, Jiang Zhou once again arrived at the central platform of the Colosseum.
At this moment, the entire venue was still bustling with activity, as if he had been gone for so long without having any impact on the atmosphere.
However, Jiang Zhou only took a closer look and realized that this was not the case at all.
He saw many of the same faces.
As a waiter, as a companion lover, as a canned audience for the atmosphere group, as an entertainment facility in the Colosseum.
It was like copying and pasting, with countless identical faces surrounding it.
Thousands of people were in the audience, in the middle of the Colosseum. But maybe there are only a few people who actually stay here and have the citizenship of the City of Sages.
"I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly."
A voice echoed behind Jiang Zhou. He turned around, and "Madeline" appeared there in formal attire.
"I didn't expect it would be you. Doesn't this place claim that citizens cannot establish deep relationships with each other? I originally thought that another person would come here."
Jiang Zhou said.
Then he tilted his head:
"Or...are you just a skin? The one who is really talking to me is actually the 'Dionysus Bureau' itself?"
"Madeline" laughed and said:
"Under normal circumstances, I would let the thousands of mental models in this city diverge freely and think in their own way of thinking. After accumulating enough material, I would then converge it. Leave it to the 'Sun God Bureau' 'Computational processing to chart the correct development direction for the entire city."
"In other words, you are now 'converging' to 'Madeline'? In that case, I am very curious about where her consciousness is at this moment."
Jiang Zhou asked.
The other party frowned:
"It's not a good habit to still be confused about your identity when choosing a name. You must correct it in the future."
Then, "she" continued:
"In order to prevent you from misunderstanding, after you embarrassed her at the carnival, she has gone home to work on her own room-temperature superconducting project to relieve her mood. And what you can see now is that I just borrowed a copy The body is just having a conversation with you.
"Even I will not disobey the rules of this city. All citizens can maintain their own sense of self and ensure their dignity as human beings... I will only use their clones, just like they themselves do Same."
As long as you don't regard the clone as a human being, then whatever you say is right.
Jiang Zhou thought.
He couldn't help but recall the words and actions he had seen before that had a strong sense of life in the words and actions of the substitute "Madeline", and his violent reaction after discovering the truth.
How did those clones feel when their truth was revealed?
Immediately, Jiang Zhou nodded:
"In other words, as the communication interface of the Dionysian Bureau, you will choose an appropriate mental model to show others?"
And the other party replied:
"This is my advantage - facing different situations, I can choose the most suitable appearance to improve efficiency. I am patient when I need to explain, irritable when I need to be tough, and full of childishness when facing children. Stay calm when talking to the elderly...and after calculation, this model is more likely to fit you."
Regarding the other party's words, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but sigh - the situation of the Dionysian Bureau was much lower than he imagined.
what is this? If the most appropriate model can be replaced according to different scenarios, then the strategy itself represents a mental model - and it is the most utilitarian and boring one.
You will only choose to be brave when you need to be brave to solve a problem, which deviates from the original intention of being brave from the beginning.
I don’t know if the other person saw his emotions at the moment, but in short, after the man finished speaking, he went straight to the point:
"I don't have much time to waste. If you are willing to become one of us, then please enter your mandala password now and upload your digital personality."
With that said, he placed the contract and ink pad in front of Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou took a deep breath and took it over.
Seeing this, the other party smiled happily and nodded.
In addition to itself being the cornerstone, and the "Sun God Bureau" itself being unable to "digest" it for the time being. This city is about to usher in mental model No. 1031.
But on the other side, Jiang Zhou directly opened the drop-down menu of the contract and changed the authentication method from the "mandala" of the third-generation password to the sixteen-digit authentication key of the first-generation password.
When the "Dionysus Bureau" saw Jiang Zhou's behavior, he was stunned for a second - basically, only a very small number of patients with image cognitive impairment or memory impairment would choose this kind of behavior. The original authentication key.
He looks like neither...
Jiang Zhou, on the other hand, took advantage of the opponent's stunned opportunity and quickly entered the password that had already been imprinted into his soul, or his own soul had been imprinted into it.
"you……"
Until Jiang Zhou was finished, the Bacchus Bureau didn't understand what he had just done.
However, although his consciousness running the "Madeline" mental model was not clear, the Dionysian Bureau's system passed the certification instantly.
The crawler software parses the password and starts to grab a special coordinate based on the network address.
It was so empty that it was like throwing a fishhook into the trench.
[The mental model has been uploaded]
And this is the first message received back by the Dionysus Bureau, like an echo from the abyss.
uploaded?
He froze.
How could anyone upload it so quickly?
Or is it that the guy in front of me has already uploaded his digital personality?
But this is wrong. The scan on my side shows that the other party clearly has a deep-diving sub-cage for support.
Just as he was confused, he received a second reply message.
The message was received silently, but the content of the message was as deafening as thunder.
