Huh? Why does Christie's side suddenly show that he is logged in?
Jiang Zhou, who was making final preparations to turn on the multi-purpose printer, suddenly received a notification - Carol Christie's originally dark name suddenly lit up, which meant that she had now accessed the Abyss Dark Web. inside.
In other words, he can drag her into the City of Sages at any time.
But didn’t she just return to base reality not long ago? Why did you dive back in so quickly?
Or did she encounter something new?
Jiang Zhou muttered, but then shook his head.
Forget it... now is not the time to worry about this matter...
After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally gave up the idea of pulling Christie over to ask about the situation. The reason for giving up is also very simple - Christie, who has reached depth 7, is not as easy to fool as Booker.
In the final analysis, the City of Sages is just the legacy left by another Depth 7 adjuster, and it is still in a semi-broken state. I might not be exposed on the spot if I pretend to be a "paradox" in front of the opponent.
At least for now, it is important to unlock the information buried in the multi-purpose printer - in it, there may be the truth about Janus, the Great Impact, and the Abyss Dark Web.
And...the reason why I slept for a hundred years and came to this era.
Otherwise, it would be too outrageous for Janus to kick himself into this era without telling him anything.
Unlocking that information requires triple verification - the mental model of the original body, the stand-in program, and the biological entity. Now, since his stand-in program has been repaired by the dead man, he only needs to start the multi-purpose printer to reprint a body.
The printing permission to copy the original owner's body is available in that printer. The raw materials needed for printing, such as carbon, phosphorus, calcium, iron and other elements, he had specially made redundant when preparing the printing materials for the power station.
In fact, logically speaking, the ideal preparation is to clone and culture a large number of your own stem cells in advance, and then use those biomass as printing materials.
This consumes thousands of times less energy than asking a printer to directly use those elements to carve out a body. It was a pity that Jiang Zhou did not have the preparation conditions and could not explain to Booker in advance why he wanted to cultivate dozens of kilograms of cloned meat.
Fortunately, the geothermal power station has been completed and has not yet been connected to the power grid of the Nord resettlement area. It was rare for him to squander that exaggerated energy, and he had the luxury of directly rubbing organic matter to print his body.
But before that, I still have one last problem to solve.
The authority to use the universal printer does not lie with him, but with Booker.
I have to ask him to order the printing of the body.
Well... in comparison, this matter is not too difficult.
Jiang Zhou felt a little embarrassed.
The hardest part is to get over your own shame.
…………
"This is no longer a trial, but requires you to do something for me."
Jiang Zhou said this bravely, and at the same time, Liao Qi took a breath of cold air from below and put on a troubled expression on his face.
"What? Will this make you feel embarrassed?"
Jiang Zhou immediately said this in an indifferent tone.
After this combination of punches, Booker became obviously panicked, and he quickly said:
"Please don't misunderstand Mr. Paradox... As long as it is something we can do without bringing disaster to the basic reality, we will be very willing to complete it for you."
As he spoke, he gave Liao Qi a warning look with a reproachful look, telling him not to mess around.
That's it...think about how much benefit they took away from "Paradox" in the name of trial. Even though "Paradox" had said from the beginning, He didn't need them to do anything. But Booker is still certain that the benefits they have received in the past will sooner or later have to be paid with interest.
The question is, can they afford this price?
Is it as His horse galloping through the base reality? No...this is unlikely. The opponent is an existence that can touch his power to the "Narcissus Plain", and even the Styx Firewall cannot completely restrict him. If the other party really needs a horse, they will not look at a depth 3 or depth 4 adjuster.
So, is there something more terrifying?
Just like the "lunar eclipse incident" ten years ago, the AI lunar goddess Hecate from the super abyss descended on the World Wide Web, almost causing the death of an Olympian god. The aftermath of the incident caused the lunar colony to be devastated.
At this moment, Booker's mind was filled with random thoughts. He remained panic-stricken, but also looked at the tall colored humanoid with a hint of luck, expecting him to tell him the price.
If what the other party puts forward is really the kind of request that will bring disaster to the lives of the Nord resettlement area, then what choice should I make?
Will you have the courage to say no?
He was panicked.
At this time, "Paradox" slowly spoke:
"I have a... friend who is very interested in the working mechanism of human emotions. In order to complete this project, she designed an organic body that can walk in the lower realm of the physical layer, intending to experience it as a real 'human' Your life of turbulence and death."
Hearing this, Booker held his breath.
a friend? This technique sounds familiar...
However, in the concept of AI, there should be no such rhetoric as "I have a friend", right?
Also, an AI intends to use flesh and blood to experience human life and understand the operating mechanism of emotions... This kind of reason that is full of "anthropocentrism" is really not the intention of AI to create a perfectly adapted " Horse" and weave lies?
At this time, Liao Qi on the side asked directly:
"Mr. Paradox, how can we help with this matter?"
"Paradox" did not answer his question directly, but turned his attention to Booker and continued:
"Have you already obtained the key to that portal?"
Booker nodded quickly.
Sure enough... In the last trial, I took them to the old Nord settlement area just to tell them the location of the universal printer and the deep dive interface.
No, it's more than that. If you put it that way, the "paradox" has been from the beginning...
"My friend will come out of that portal, and what I need you to do is to help her create a body that can move."
As he spoke, "Paradox" held out two fingers:
"I need you to cast two bodies for her in the portal, one male and one female... Here are the drawings needed to generate those two bodies."
With the words "Paradox", two data balls shot out from his fingertips and sank directly into Liao Qi's body without any explanation - the latter immediately fell to his knees as if he had suffered some severe pain. On the ground. His fingers clenched tightly on the hard ground, leaving deep fingerprints.
Booker looked at Liao Qi, who was trembling and clenching his teeth, moaning in pain with all his strength, and instinctively wanted to go up and help him up. But when he saw Paradox looking at him without saying a word, he stopped again.
"I...I will create a body for your friend and open the door for her...if she does not cause damage to the base reality."
Booker lowered his head and said.
Seeing that "Paradox" didn't reply, Booker gritted his teeth and continued:
"But let me ask you, which 'friend' of yours is..."
"She was known by many names."
"Paradox" interrupted Booker's question, and then he paused for a while and continued:
"She is the mistress of roads and cross paths, the goddess in charge of all intersections, ghosts and curses, the second oldest person under the highest heaven, and the candidate for the seat of the moon god..."
Just hearing these names, Booker felt as if the hairs on his hair that no longer existed stood on end.
Aren't these names just...
"She is Hecate, the goddess of the underworld."
Ultimately, “Paradox” spoke the name that Booker had in mind.
It has been calculated long ago...
In just an instant, countless fragmentary clues began to gather in Booker's mind, and finally a complete pattern was pieced together.
Everything they experienced was planned from the beginning.
The dark web fluctuations encountered in Tartarus, those two grams of antimatter, the deep-diving interface, the geothermal power station, printing two bodies...
Link by link, all their previous actions were all part of the "Paradox" plan.
The information he had obtained before led to the conclusion within the Pluto Deep Diving Company that the dark web fluctuations originated from "Hecate, the goddess of the underworld". He had previously secretly laughed at those company dogs for blaming the blame... Now look. Come on, the person who really doesn’t understand the situation is you.
From the beginning, the purpose of "Paradox" has been for this - to allow His friends, subordinates, and Hecate to come to the world!
The only thing he didn't understand was that he was enough for these things alone, so why did he need another Liao Qi? Are you even adjusting the permissions needed for his upgrade?
No... I must stop "Perseus 1" immediately and use this deep dive interface to complete the upgrade plan...
Booker thought immediately.
Otherwise, when the time comes, he won't even be able to guess how he died.
"Mr. Paradox, today's Nord settlement is not safe. If you let your friends here..."
So Booker said bravely.
"This is nothing you need to worry about. Apart from helping her make those two bodies, you don't have to worry about the rest."
Paradox replied.
Booker immediately shut his mouth.
Also, if all of this is in Paradox's calculations, then even if there are two Depth 7s fighting in the Nord settlement area, that is a problem that Mr. Paradox can easily solve.
Moreover, since the goddess of the dark moon planned to come to the basic reality to experience life, she naturally could not let herself be sent back as soon as she left the house.
In other words, is the current Nord resettlement area safe...?
Booker felt uneasy again.
…………
"Let us stay where we are, and we are not allowed to touch any members of Icarus?"
Wutou-1 looked at the employees of the intelligent control center with some sullenness, and confirmed again in a bad tone:
"What kind of order is this? Are you trying to say that we have spent so much effort to come to this poor country to escape, just to 'stand by'?"
"Please calm down... We are only responsible for conveying Ms. Christie's orders. She has repeatedly told her that she can solve everything."
The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied - Facing a mecha giant that is more than three meters tall and covered with heavy weapons, anyone will feel tremendous pressure.
"But isn't she now at odds with that unknown Deepin 7?"
"But orders are orders..."
Upon hearing this answer, Wu Tou-1's eight eyes flashed dangerously. But in the end, he did not have a seizure. Instead, he turned around and left with his subordinates without saying a word.
"Mr. Wutou-1, you are going to..."
The person in charge of the Intelligent Control Center asked uneasily when he saw this.
"Go to the task force sent by the resettlement area government to ask for information... We can't touch the people in Icarus. Is it okay if we touch some other people?"
Aconite-1 replied.
Then, when he was halfway there, he said:
"Besides, if they come to us on their own initiative, then there's no problem with us taking action, right?"
It's my grandma's birthday today. It's a little late. I'll make up for it tomorrow.
