Zhang Chengqi's soul was guided by Zhong Shanze and entered the virtual world along the morgue's instruments. After a while, it was transferred to the small world of the invitees.
A flash of consciousness opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw were dilapidated walls and gray houses. The cold touch told him that he was lying on the floor.
His eyes opened, but after confirming that the surrounding area was safe, he took no further action, because at the moment his mind was filled with one question: Who am I? Where is this?
He was not the only one in the room, and soon more figures got up. The person next to him was stunned for a moment after seeing him, and finally mocked him half mockingly, half jokingly: "Hey, this is not our game. The star of hope in the world, Zhang Chengqi?”
I am... Zhang Chengqi? Like the window paper being punctured, as this thought came to mind, various memories slowly came to mind. This consciousness finally remembered that his name was Zhang Chengqi and everything he did before his death.
But why did I come to this world? What is this place? One doubt was solved, but a new doubt arose in Zhang Chengqi's heart.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you have such doubts. They are doubts that arise in the minds of almost everyone who arrives in the world of invitees. Most of them can be solved after passing the novice training.
Zhong Shanze also temporarily put aside his attention to Zhang Chengqi. He has been pulled into the world of invitees. If the other party failed to pass the novice training and died halfway in frustration, then Zhong Shanze would not shed a tear because of this. He would have It's just a random interest.
The results of the experiment are simple and clear. This kind of soul that is directly pulled in without invitation seems to lose its self-understanding for a period of time. For example, Zhang Chengqi only remembered who he was before after being reminded by others.
As for whether Zhang Chengqi will regain his self-awareness after a period of time without being reminded by others, or will he continue to sink like this? At least for now, we cannot continue to test him, and we have to find new experimental subjects.
However, although Zhang Chengqi's experiment has ended, it has opened a new door for Zhong Shanze to solve the problems faced by the detached invitees.
Currently, there are two problems faced by transcendent invitees. One is for themselves, that is, their strength is completely incomparable compared with those giant beasts. The prehistoric world is completely unsuitable as a leveling area for novices.
Another problem is for Zhong Shanze, the creator, that is, the behemoths he created using the virtual world are too rigid compared to the real world. After all, the action logic is completely copied from the game.
When players like Ge Zhaodu play a game, they naturally know that it is just a game. The more it can behave like the natural world, the happier they will be.
But for the transcendent invitees like Ling Mengyu, the prehistoric world is too terrifying, not only the terror of being crushed in strength, but also the terror of those giant beasts.
Zhong Shanze guessed that it was probably similar to the uncanny valley effect. Of course he knew that those giant beasts were just acting according to the logic of the data, but Ling Mengyu and the others didn't know that. They only felt that the actions of these giant beasts seemed normal but were actually weird. There was an indescribable feeling. Great horror.
After what happened to Zhang Chengqi, Zhong Shanze came up with a solution. Indeed, judging from the current situation, no matter how they enhance the AI, they cannot make Ling Mengyu and the others feel that this is a living creature.
In this case, let's just stop thinking about how to enhance AI. Just like Zhang Chengqi's example this time, use the souls of the real world to transform them into creatures in the virtual world, so that they will no longer feel the horror at this time.
But this raises another question: What kind of soul should I take to the virtual world? As a reincarnation practitioner who practices fierce ghosts, Zhong Shanze has always cherished feathers to avoid being entangled in cause and effect after traveling to this world.
For example, when invitees appear, they are unable to wake up in the real world, or are simply about to die, and are then pulled into this world with the consent of the other party.
Although there is some fraud in the process, it is fundamentally a matter of mutual consent. If the other party insists on refusing, Zhong Shanze will not continue to pester, and will just let the other party continue to sleep or die.
Zhang Chengqi dared to intervene this time because he made a mess and committed suicide by jumping off a building, causing too many innocent people to be harmed. Therefore, Zhong Shanze did not count as causing evil consequences, but helping those victims to seek revenge.
Therefore, it is easy to identify the targets of new experimental subjects, namely those who have caused harm to them but have not received due revenge.
It's just that this method is a bit troublesome, because they can't be death row prisoners. Death row prisoners mean that they have received retribution, and they also need to be invited to safely - let Zhong Shanze be safe - enter the world of invitees.
It has to be the kind of person who obviously did something wrong subjectively, but was not punished while he was alive, and finally passed away peacefully.
As the saying goes, every cause must have its effect, and your retribution will be me. There are many such people in this world, such as those who engage in financial innovation, or people like Soros. Nine out of ten can be directly pulled, and the rest The next one is squatting in jail.
Of course, it doesn't work when they are alive, because they have not yet suffered retribution, and their lives have not yet been finalized, so they must find those who are about to die.
"Ah, this is going to get busy again," Zhong Shanze knew that it would be difficult to hand over this kind of matter to AI, and he had to confirm it one by one himself. However, he has been fishing for more than a year anyway, so he might as well be busy. .
Zhong Shanze had to confirm one by one that those who could be directly pulled into the virtual world without being invited, and then put a surveillance AI next to him.
When the person is about to die, Zhong Shanze will be called over and the person's soul will be pulled into the virtual world as his experimental subject.
Or maybe this person is unfortunate - for Zhong Shanze - or very lucky - for ordinary people - the incident comes to light. As long as the trial result is normal, then the AI can only be withdrawn and the goal declared invalid.
As an electronic ghost active in the virtual world, Zhong Shanze can easily confirm using his special abilities, and as long as such people are lying in the hospital, they can usually be pulled in.
Since Zhong Shanze was busy conducting new experiments at the moment, after identifying a financial innovator as his target, he impatiently waited for him to die.
When the dying financial innovation expert finally died, Zhong Shanze immediately pulled his soul into the virtual world to see if this consciousness would return to itself if no one reminded him.
The result of the experiment was yes. Although after more than an hour of confusion and fear, this man finally remembered who he was.
The virtual world where the consciousness was staying at this time was a small world that Zhong Shanze had specially developed to accommodate this kind of people. He ignored it for the time being and continued to collect other experimental subjects.
