——Really, what a coincidence.
Yuan Ye sighed, as if there was an invisible hand arranging his destiny invisibly.
——But it doesn’t matter. Now that we’ve encountered such things as time travel, it doesn’t seem so strange that our own destiny is actually being manipulated.
——Or, is it still acceptable?
Yuanye smiled in his heart.
"Why me?" Yuan Ye asked with a smile.
"Because you have passed the qualifications in perception. This kind of qualifications is not available to many extraordinary people in the second field who have completed brain modification. If you can feel that I actually have five senses, you can feel other people's [main thoughts]." Body] has returned to the ultimate consciousness of the Korei Sect." Edo United Chief said, "But I have lost this ability, so I need the help of others. At least in my opinion, the person who killed Uesugi Tomohiko will not surrender. From the Yanling Sect.”
"Of course, I don't have the bad taste of replacing my own consciousness with someone else's."
"Everyone can talk nonsense." Edo Union Chief said noncommittally, "But if this is really the case, it only proves that I made a mistake. It is me who should bear the responsibility for the mistake, not you. This is perfectly normal. It’s just a transaction.”
"The chief is quite open-minded." Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment and said casually.
"You can do this when you are about to die." The president of the Edo Federation said calmly, "For extraordinary beings like us who have reached the carbon-based limit, the limit that our complex system can reach by constantly operating It is completely clear and visible, the duration of Qi maintenance, the boundary of one's own consciousness, and if one does not act like a coward, one can even pinpoint one's own death time to the nearest second."
"When you approach the eternal silence, even if you don't want to 'look away', your body will force you to 'look away'." The Edo United President "stared" at Yuanye, "If you insist on saying it , this is one of the so-called "gene instincts". In order to prevent early-born people from occupying too many resources, which is not conducive to the reproduction of the ethnic group, we set a death end point for them, and we are worried that they will damage the stability of the ethnic group, so we force them to " Look, it's something that's engraved in our bones and governs us."
"Even if you are the chief, you can't break away from these constraints and have a true sense of freedom?" Yuanye moved his body uncomfortably. It was obvious that the face of the Edo joint chief was flat, but he could clearly sense him. "Looking" at himself, this feeling is indeed uncomfortable. He now hopes that his perception can be lower, but unfortunately he cannot control this thing freely.
"It was possible before, but not now." A brand new mouth appeared on the face of the Edo United President, allowing him to take a sip of hot tea. "Only after entering the third realm, you will have the ability to be unaffected by the physical body." Independent consciousness, my current [main thinking body] cannot even maintain complete self-awareness for a long time, how can I still have this ability."
"And the moment you step into the extraordinary realm, shouldn't you understand?" President Edo said with a smile, "The so-called free will does not exist. We are just biochemical machines."
"When you start to advance in the second realm, you will gradually begin to have molecular-level awareness of yourself. You can accurately recognize that a certain base pair on your genome will affect the expression of your biological traits. What kind of influence, and what kind of hormones will be produced by the biological tissues born under this influence, what degree of bias will be exerted on your value judgments, and finally in the thinking model that will be changed after your 'experience summary' Where to direct your awareness.”
"The process of advancing in the second realm is the process of peeling yourself apart and analyzing it. Only by realizing that you are a machine can you better control yourself. However, many people cannot bear this level of alienation. In the second realm He will directly go crazy as he advances." Edo Joint Chief explained, "For example, Uesugi Tomohiko, he has already reached the upper limit of the energy that his consciousness can control, why hasn't he entered the second realm? Because of fear."
"Speaking of which, I actually envy those who have completed full-body prosthetics. After all, they have completed the process the moment they complete full-body prosthetics, and they don't have to worry about changes in self-cognition. It is possible to collapse and can change its body at will."
"That's because their hearts have already been alienated before they completed the transformation of their whole bodies into prosthetics." Yuanye also had knowledge in this area, so he directly pointed out the other party's mistakes, "In other words, only those who can accept that they are Only slaves' abnormal people can complete the transformation of whole body prosthetics."
"That's right. The technology of prostheticization is actually to replace the 'monsters' with 'inhuman hearts' with the technology of 'extraordinary bodies'." Edo Joint Chief clapped his hands and said, "In comparison, Now, the secret teachings of the cultivators are just to force ordinary people to make changes in the face of undeniable established facts. On the contrary, it is a method that is very consistent with the spirit of materialism."
"Cultivation in the traditional sense has become something that requires lower qualifications in 2077. This is completely unbelievable in an era when I can maintain the anchor of my self-awareness for a long time. At that time, mechanical technology was As a representative of popularization, everyone thinks that we explorers who are advancing in the extraordinary field will be swept away into the pile of old papers of history. Unfortunately, later..." As the Edo Joint Chief said, he seemed to feel that he was going too far, and he stopped quickly. Got the words.
"Then, let's go back to the topic at the beginning." The facial features of the Edo Union President showed concern for Genya. He seemed to be aware of Genya's discomfort when he looked at Gomen, but he didn't expect this expression to make Genya Even more creepy, "The moment you entered the extraordinary realm, did you feel that you were different and extraordinary?"
"Not at all." Yuan Ye gave an affirmative answer, "Just like this piece of steak, completely industrially produced food will even have a more stable and more uniform taste than natural food."
"As long as enough resources are invested, it can be reproduced." Yuan Yasha picked up the last piece of steak. "It's the same for me. If the unique and absolutely independent sense of freedom does not exist, then I am just investing the same resources. It’s just an existence that can reappear again, there’s nothing to be proud of.”
The same piece of steak was used by two people to support two theories, but it fit the two aspects of the extraordinary realm.
This discovery made the Edo Joint Chief stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily: "You guys are really interesting."
"Then what help can I get?" Yuanye took the opportunity to ask even further.
"I won't give you any help. You need to complete this matter on your own." The Edo Federation President replied, "When it is completed, you will get the position of Edo Federation President Wakatou. It is just a simple transaction. That’s all.”
"Is there a time limit?"
"Prove Yagyu Konobo's innocence before the conference at the end of March, or take off his head, that's all I ask for." The Edo Federation Chief wiped his mouth again, wiped off his facial features, and put on the Noh mask again. "There is a pre-meeting on March 1st. Remember to attend. I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."
"Wait a minute." Genya stopped the Edo Federation Chief, "Does the unique and absolutely independent sense of freedom really not exist?"
The Edo Joint Chief paused and said something unclear: "If you had the opportunity to see my facial features with the naked eye, I might be able to answer this question for you, but not now."
