The excess information was like a red-hot file. They directly "pried open" Jiang Zhou's skull, and then imprinted something on the grooves of his brain.
Compared to the first time he dived, he just watched the behemoth rising from the abyss from a distance, and then was instantly knocked unconscious by the huge information. This time, the adjustment and transformation of the upgrade path, Theseus Depth 1, brought Jiang Zhou "hardware enhancement", which prevented him from losing consciousness immediately after being violently bombarded with too much information.
The "puppet circuit" regulates and suppresses the rampant neurotransmitters, the "flash biochip" records the information in one go, and the "double-mind brain pons" uses parallel computing to analyze a huge amount of data...
In addition, Jiang Zhou's "vision" also leaps along with the "tentacles" that touch him - that is, the Hongqiao brain area communicates with his visual cortex, and is currently converting the incomprehensible code information into Become some kind of metaphorical visual signal.
At that moment, Jiang Zhou felt that his perspective and the "tentacle" were melted into one - it was an absurd and confusing feeling like a dream, and in it, Jiang Zhou's perspective for cognition continued to change. Changing and switching.
Suddenly, it was as if the boundary of "self" had been dissolved, and it was even difficult to distinguish the difference between "noumenon" and "other"; it was as if the arrow of the "causal" relationship had been broken, and "past" and "present" Starting to blur.
So, I saw the "Dionysian Bureau" being dragged under the abyss, and the database he had previously formed by integrating thousands of mental models was swallowed by the big mouth from the darkness. Then, after you were chewed up, I spit it out as spider silk.
It's very natural that when you look up along the spider thread, you find that he and I have already been connected by this fragile medium.
It's completely unstable, but it's also the only way we can communicate.
No pleasantries, no greetings, no warnings, no suggestions.
You just vibrated through that slender spider thread and told him some information - the process was like a file prying open my skull.
However, this process did not last long. Perhaps it was because the spider silk itself could not withstand the tremors, or perhaps it was disturbed by the ever-changing external factors in the abyss's dark web - with a "buzz" sound, the fragile medium was disconnected.
All the chaos subsided like a tide, and Jiang Zhou's perception once again returned to the present. Liao Qi's substitute program was fixed on this perspective.
Using the "Dionysus Bureau" as a medium, He could only have such a brief contact with himself.
His head was as heavy as if someone had filled it with cement. Jiang Zhou staggered, shook his head, and got up from the ground.
As soon as he raised his head, Jiang Zhou saw Christie who was watching him warily.
The water of the Styx surrounded her, and she was standing on a small boat made of bones. The river water kept turning into resentful spirits and churning. Several burning fire wheels floated around her, making a crackling burning sound.
Coupled with her outfit and taking a photo from any angle, it could easily be used as the cover of a death metal album.
Resisting the idea of immediately sorting out and analyzing the information that had just been poured into him, Jiang Zhou subconsciously activated the blessing given to him by Hecate.
The fog began to spread around him, and the shadow of the evil spirit faintly emerged in it - this looked very bluffing, but in fact it was just to give himself a strong appearance.
The power of the goddess of the dark moon is too limited in the support she can provide in the Narcissus Plain.
Anyway, the loser does not lose the formation...
Jiang Zhou thought.
Besides, even if a fight really breaks out, now that I am here, I have enough confidence to protect myself.
"What just...happened?"
Jiang Zhou was originally thinking about what he should say, but he didn't expect that Christie was looking at him in awe at this moment, and she asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Um? Did she just see what happened here?
Seeing the other party's awe-inspiring attitude, Jiang Zhou thought to himself.
As his thoughts flowed, he immediately put on an enigmatic look and said in a solemn tone:
"He enlightened me."
I'm not lying.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhou immediately added in his mind.
In the brief contact before, the being from the abyss poured a lot of information into his mind.
Ninety-nine percent of the information, from Jiang Zhou's perspective, are abstract patterns composed of incomprehensible gibberish - they are not even like the blessings given to him by Hecate, the goddess of the moon, who also wrote a A fool-proof script that you can use just by command.
These things probably need to wait until I have been upgraded to a higher level and can use other implants to analyze them?
But apart from that, there is still a small amount of information, and Jiang Zhou can understand its usage.
One is the quick access to the "City of Sages". You only need to connect a multi-purpose printer or use the deep dive interface to access this place at any time. As long as it is not intercepted by a more powerful being, Jiangzhou can be used as an extremely safe shelter - once hidden inside, even powerful AIs like Charon or Hecate cannot enter.
And in addition, not only you and your controllable factors, but also those who have been "marked" by you can also enter this city and receive asylum.
The second is the function of "marking". Jiang Zhou can implant "marks" into other people's stand-in programs. The first mark requires the other party to pass the "Mandala" certification. Then, if the other party's hacker level does not exceed his own, then he can forcefully drag him into the "City of Sages".
but……
Jiang Zhou opened the list in the eye movement interface.
Except for himself (Jiang Zhou himself, whose name is gray because the avatar program was destroyed) and Liao Qi (green online). For some reason, among the people he was able to pull in, there were also two people, Booker Ervin and Carol Christie.
Have they certified "Mandala" before?
For example, when Booker and he connected to the multi-purpose printer before, they authenticated the "Mandala" password. And after Christie was defeated by the Dionysus Bureau in the City of Sages and surrendered, he must have handed over his computing power through the Mandala Code.
Jiang Zhou guessed so.
And the third is the permission to use the "City of Sages". In other words, the entire computing power of the "Dionysus Bureau". Of course, because all the mental models stored in the database have been silenced by that existence, there is only an empty shell left here. Whether it is an "ice wall" or an "ice breaker", Jiangzhou will need to reinstall it in the future.
But no matter what, as long as he comes here, he is equivalent to having an extra cloud server with Theseus Path and a depth of 7 computing power.
And besides that, there is...
"What is He?"
Christie asked again in awe. Her question woke Jiang Zhou out of his thoughts.
The tone of her words at this moment made Jiang Zhou even more certain that the other party had most likely witnessed the death of the "Dionysian Bureau" and the whole process of his being "enlightened".
Should that tell her that the previous existence was probably the super artificial intelligence "Janus" from the past?
Regarding this, Jiang Zhou was a little undecided for a moment.
It can be activated through the sixteen-digit secret key, and at the moment of previous contact, it will merge with your own consciousness, regardless of each other. In Jiang Zhou's view, the behemoth from the abyss is most likely the original super artificial intelligence "Janus".
Although Jiang Zhou still dare not confirm it 100%, he feels that there is a high probability that it will not be wrong.
However, in the current mainstream public opinion, the existence of "Janus" is really too infamous.
Not to mention, in the minds of most people, Janus is considered to have died in the "Great Impact". As the one who ushered in a new era, it was directly and indirectly responsible for billions of deaths. Any hint that He may return would be as violent a shock to today's society as knowing that the Trisolarans are about to invade the Earth.
You can't directly say that it is Janus...at least you can't confirm it is Janus with your own words.
Jiang Zhou finally came to this conclusion.
The task Charon gave him was to help retrieve the horse. In other words, Christie will definitely return to basic reality in the future to help Charon.
And for her to go back with such explosive information, whether it causes public unrest or lets some big shots know, this is not a good idea no matter how you see it.
So, he took a deep breath and replied:
"I call Him... Paradox."
Throw the pot to an existence she made up - unless she can find another Booker who was deceived by him, she will definitely not find any clues related to this in reality.
"paradox……"
Christie lowered his head and murmured the word, seeming to be chewing on the metaphor.
After a long while, she raised her head again and asked:
"Didn't you say earlier that you were entrusted by that old man...by Charon to take me out of Narcissus Plains?"
In response, Jiang Zhou nodded:
"And now, the Dionysian bureau that restrained you has disappeared, and you are out of trouble."
"but……"
Christie didn't quite understand this - since the other party is the being called "Paradox"...whether he is a subordinate or a believer, since he has such a powerful backing, why would he still obey Charon's orders? , come here?
"It's a deal."
Jiang Zhou replied:
"Mr. Charon promised to pay a certain price in exchange for letting me help you get out of here."
