Although inductive truths and one-sided truths can deceive people, the emotions transmitted through the spiritual link cannot be faked. This direct spiritual connection method cannot conceal what is in the heart, nor can it be used to muddle through with acting skills. Wu Ming was able to understand Siegfried's current emotional changes with empathy.
Guilt, pain, regret, anger, a variety of emotions mixed together in a complex manner were like poison eroding Siegfried's heart.
At least subjectively, Siege Fei was indeed in pain because of these things. It was enough for Wu Ming to confirm this.
Wu Ming nodded and accepted her explanation, and did not dwell on this issue for too long. After all, time was precious and the AI girl in black might come to the door at any time. He then asked: "The main system AI of this city once gave me I’ve seen some surveillance videos. How did you board the high-altitude sky city when the power core and anti-gravity device were intact?”
He didn't ask Siegfried why he wanted to kill the people in the core control room, because it didn't make much sense to ask such a question now.
'If you want to deceive others, sometimes partial truths and truths are more effective than lies. 'Based on his own life experience and the deception pattern he saw from Constantine, Wu Ming not only fully understood this sentence, but also had a deeper understanding of deception.
With the convenient function of spiritual link to directly detect lies, any subjective intention to actively deceive will be undetectable. But Wu Ming suspected that non-subjective deception, which involves good intentions but bad consequences, could not be detected. That is - you do not subjectively know that what you say is a lie, you firmly believe that what you say is the truth and you do not have any subjective intention to deceive the other party.
To put it simply, if Siegfried is a madman, in her perception, everyone else in the world is a disgusting meat monster, and she is the only normal person in this crazy world. Killing those monsters is to do justice to heaven. , then even if she conveys this information to Wu Ming through the spiritual link, all the latter can feel is the truth that sounds like crazy words.
The spiritual link can detect a person's subjective deception intention, but it cannot be equated to the fact that it can detect the non-subjective deception and misdirection of believing one's truth and then passing on false information.
"We did not board the high-altitude Sky City. When a few of us followed the distress signal and rushed nearby, the Sky City had already crashed several kilometers away." Siegfried's mood swings returned to calm, and she tried her best Recalling the situation at that time, he tried his best to tell Wu Ming everything he knew: "Not long after we set off, my friends who stayed in Sky City noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city, and sent me a private message The news complained that some people did not stick to their jobs, and at this time, some people actually spread rumors that demonized plants were found in the city."
"But then the communication information came from Glamorgan. In order to ensure the success rate of the entire beheading operation, communications were silenced and all communications outgoing from Glamorgan were controlled. Before the beheading troops arrived at the core defense line according to the established route, Glamorgan We will always maintain long-range support and induce the mimic creatures to avoid the direction of the beheading troops to ensure successful infiltration."
"Later, after the beheading troops entered the defense line set up by the Tree of Life and suddenly lost the long-range support of Sky City, they received a contact signal from Sky City not long after and learned that the outer area was captured by the Tree of Life and its servants and that it was difficult to provide remote support. Facts. For this reason, several other teammates and I had a dispute with the main force executing the plan. Several of our team members, who were worried about their relatives and friends, left the main force without permission and insisted on rescuing them, while they continued to implement the plan. But when we arrived By that time, Sky City had been breached and crashed to the ground..."
Wu Ming couldn't help but frown. What Siegfried said was completely contradictory to the information provided by the girl in black. The dragon girl claimed that she entered the city after the fall of Glamorgan, but the latter said that it was because of Siegfried. Without capturing the power core, she lost the power supply and had to activate the backup energy source to complete the emergency landing. The critical time point for landing in Glamorgan was completely missed. He held his chin and muttered to himself: "Being captured during the rescue process... No, there’s a problem with the chronology… What’s next?”
"I and several teammates entered the crashed sky city and suffered several attacks. At first, they were attacked by some demonized plants and unsavory mimic creatures. Finally, we met other people who were still alive when we entered the core control area. , and then they were attacked..."
"Attack?"
"Well, they attacked without explanation. We finally defeated them at the cost of the lives of two teammates. Those people cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. It was a bit like partners who had been working together all year round, but also a bit like different individuals controlled by the same thought. Even if they are separated and there is no eye contact or movement communication, they can still complete the cooperative battle. All the elite members who are good at fighting in the early stage have been transferred to the beheading unit. I don’t know the few combatants who are left behind. among people.”
"After entering the core control area, we found that the roots of the Tree of Life had completely invaded the interior. Many people were cocooned by the roots of the Tree of Life. Those who were not cocooned attacked like crazy. We and our teammates died one after another, and before we knew it, I was the only one left alive. Later, it may be that the decapitation unit was progressing smoothly, and the tree of life did not have more energy to take care of the problems here. I just escaped and could move freely in Sky City, but from the area where the roots of the Tree of Life were corroded to the normal control area, I searched almost all over the core control area but still couldn't find my friend. Later I found out she……"
Siegfried's description reminded Wu Ming of the surveillance videos he had seen before. In several surveillance videos, the former was fighting alone against several teams of extraordinary people who cooperated well. These videos can at least confirm what Siegfried said. It is part of the objective facts. If she is really a lunatic with cognitive biases, it is not easy to design a scam that is logically self-consistent and the objective facts must exactly match the surveillance video Wu Ming saw from the girl in black.
First of all, because of the information black box, Siegefei could not know specifically what the content of the surveillance video that the girl in black showed to Wu Ming was. Even if the girl in black had used this similar method on others, she could not be sure. This time, the girl in black will use the same surveillance video to mislead Wu Ming. With the help of the spiritual link, any subjective deception intention will be seen through. The feasibility of Siegfried being able to deceive them subjectively is very low.
But if it is non-subjective deception, it would be difficult for the person who designed this scam to ensure that every step of the development of the situation is under the influence of unknown factors such as Wu Ming pressing a button and blowing up part of the core control area. intend.
"Wu Ming, we must not let the system AI be swallowed by the tree of life, nor let this sky city reach the area where the tree of life is. I inherited the power of the black dragon, and accordingly inherited her knowledge. I can vaguely feel, If the tree of life swallows up the system AI, it is likely to evolve to..."
Wu Ming nodded and interrupted Siege Fei who was about to continue: "I understand, Lao Zhao."
"Manager Wu Ming, I have listed the relevant doubts based on the records of my previous contact with the girl in black. Please take a look." Zhao Sida's eyes flashed, and she shared with Wu Ming what she had just listed in her spiritual link. doubts.
"That's a big help. Brother Fei, let's follow the previous plan. Do you want to go together?" Wu Ming was just about to reach out and touch Zhao Sida's head. Elizabeth, who was standing next to him, pushed her head over and squeezed Zhao Sida. Without saying anything, he stuck out his tongue at her, but was immediately tied up by the transparent silk thread thrown out by the doll girl.
"What are you going to do?" Siegfried asked as he looked at the two people fighting with strange eyes.
"What are you doing? Of course, I'm helping Laputa and letting the plot go back to the original work." Wu Ming's face was filled with a joyful smile, and he smiled like a naughty kid who was about to blow up the toilet. He couldn't restrain himself at all. Live the joy in your heart.
"ah?"
