long night fire

"Because I am the dean and the chief scientist, and I know more about 'darkness' than they do, so they all chose to obey my orders at that time, and with the help of that machine and our power, they built such a second research center." District is modeled after the city, they all call it 'New World'.

"The main body of the 'New World' is our spiritual power, which is essentially a space of consciousness higher than reality.

"In the process of establishing the 'new world', I have mastered the authority of that machine, and at the same time gave them corresponding powers."

Chapter 40 The Difference Between the Two Sides

Shang Jianyao didn't care that "Zhuang Sheng" Du Heng was in front of him, he slapped his palms and said:

"It turns out that the authority refers to this!

"That guy Wu Meng just refuses to speak human words!"

Du Heng didn't care about Shang Jianyao interjecting casually, and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"At that time, we were all overwhelmed by joy, thinking that we had really passed the ladder and stepped into the forbidden zone of the gods, and we will live forever."

"I now believe that Wu Meng is your student." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.

They are all the same tone, the only difference is that Wu Meng often knows what it is but does not know why, and tries to "integrate" Tao into his life.

Du Heng laughed:

"We spent a lot of time thinking about our appellation, and agreed that we can't directly use the title of god, which is too tacky.

"As you know, I like the game very much. I found inspiration from the game and decided to call our group of gods 'Zhi Sui', and then choose the corresponding month to be in charge. It just so happens that we are a total of thirteen people. The concept of two months plus leap month, I have not given permission to 'Truth' since he joined, the number will be exceeded, and there is no way to strictly correspond, and the beauty of mathematics and settings will be lost..."

"Isn't it because 'The Last Man' occupies the position?" Shang Jianyao asked in surprise.

"No." Du Heng shook his head.

Shang Jian Yao sighed for a while:

"If I were the 'truth' and knew that the real reason was this, I would definitely die in peace."

"But in a sense, it is indeed the 'Last Man' who occupies that position." Du Heng thought for a while.

As long as "truth" replaces "the last man" as the age, there will be no things that cannot be strictly corresponded and lose the beauty of mathematics and settings.

"That's right." Shang Jianyao was convinced, and praised sincerely, "As expected of a veteran game player, he values ​​the aesthetics of the settings so much."

As for the beauty of mathematics, he can't appreciate it.

Du Heng didn't continue this topic, and said with emotion under a large number of rapidly flashing lights:

"At the same time, I also like Taoist culture very much, so I named myself 'Zhuang Sheng'. They also changed their names to 'Bodhi', 'Shuangri', and 'Siming' one after another according to their own ideas..."

"If I can become Zhisui, what should I call it? The title 'Hello' is too unserious... How about 'Fate'?" Shang Jianyao fell into a dilemma.

Du Heng didn't answer his question, and there was a bit of vicissitudes in his eyes:

"People are selfish. After the initial adaptation stage, we intend to monopolize the 'forbidden zone' and prevent others from becoming executives.

"To this end, we took advantage of the special features of the 'New World' to jointly establish the 'Hall of Stars' to manifest everyone's 'Spiritual World' and 'Ocean of Consciousness' into the 'Ocean of Origin', and through the establishment of the 'Soul Corridor' The way to connect the 'Origin Seas' together."

"What's the matter with the gate of the 'New World'?" Shang Jianyao was quite curious about this.

Du Heng let out a "huh":

"Of course we also opened the door to the 'New World', which is both a trap and an opportunity.

"We can control the door to appear in any room in the 'spiritual corridor', and give hints to make people feel familiar and courageous to continue exploring.

"As long as any one of us is willing, the awakened person who has just entered the 'spiritual corridor' can directly see the door, but when pushing, we need to consume extra energy and give some help, otherwise the 'spiritual corridor' at that level The strength of the Awakened in the corridor is not enough. You must explore the depths and improve yourself, so that you can easily open the door with your own strength.

"And coming to the 'New World' is tantamount to accepting our management completely, and there is no way to make waves, let alone become an executive."

Shang Jian Yao was puzzled:

"Why do you say it is still an opportunity?"

This is a bright trap!

"Without the door we provided, human beings can only reach half of the 'New World' level." Du Heng simply explained, "Do you think that the amplification and enhancement of brain waves can have such a strong electromagnetic manipulation effect, and can even interfere with the human body?" Matter? Only in the 'spiritual corridor' and the 'new world' can we take advantage of the special here to do things that seem ordinary at present."

Shang Jianyao's focus of attention was off again, he rubbed his chin and said:

"In other words, even if there is no 'Hall of Stars', no 'Spirit Corridor', and no door, normal awakened people can still reach the level of the 'New World' step by step, but the sensing range and ability strength are much weaker? "

"Yes." Du Heng nodded.

Shang Jianyao asked:

"If such an awakened person can enter the second research area you mentioned, find a way to bypass the restrictions, control the machine, and steal the authority, can he also become the executive?"

Du Heng nodded lightly first:

"There is one more prerequisite, and that is to enter the experimental cabin, receive the final stimulus, and develop the brain to a certain extent."

He went on to say:

"Otherwise, why do you think I want to control the rest of the Eighth Academy, let them guard this place, and kill all efforts to figure out the reason for the destruction of the old world?"

"Another reason is the power required to maintain that machine." Shang Jianyao helped to add.

Suddenly, his expression changed:

"Brain waves! You just said brain waves!

"Is what the Salvation Army folks say about the mind control devices true in some sense?"

"That's their own imagination." Du Heng denied it first, and then said, "For the awakened who rely on themselves instead of our platform to become a 'spiritual corridor' or even a 'new world', complete electromagnetic shielding can indeed Prevent the influence they exert, but as long as you can take advantage of the special here, the effect of that protection will not be very good."

"Oh." Shang Jianyao remembered that he had misled the topic for a while, and the lights around him flickered to the point of urgency, "You can continue talking about business."

Du Heng glanced at the door, sighed slightly and said:

"In the beginning, everything was fine until we found ourselves starving and needing to feed on human consciousness."

"Isn't it enough to rely on biochips and supply power?" Shang Jianyao was full of resistance.

Du Heng shook his head:

"Our form of existence is very special. It is only based on, not rooted in, the biological chip. When using abilities, we can indeed absorb electricity through it and increase our power, but the consciousness itself will still decay.

"This point, those mechanical monks can't avoid it, but their consciousness has been transplanted into biochips, and the decay rate is very slow, allowing them to survive for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Hey, after being too hungry and weak, we betrayed our conscience and morality and started eating people, and we also found that even if we don't need to feed on human consciousness, we have to do it eventually.

"The formation of this 'new world' is related to the fact that a large amount of human consciousness was extracted when the 'old world' was destroyed, and it itself is also attenuating a little bit. It must have fresh water coming in from time to time in order to maintain stability, otherwise it will be destroyed in ten or decades. Completely disintegrate or disappear.”

Du Heng was silent for a few seconds, then sighed:

"Since that day, we've been completely different, and some of us really don't see ourselves as human anymore.

"During that time, I did not impose any restrictions on all the elders, and let everyone do their own thing. As a result, multiple sects were born on the ashes, human disputes could not be calmed down, and there was chaos everywhere.

"Judging from the situation at that time, even if more than 90.00% of the people died when the old world was destroyed, even if there were a large number of "unintentional people" active on the dust, after seven or eight winters, human beings could still slowly rebuild civilization After all, many scientific and technological materials and industrial machines are quite well preserved, but the addition of us executives has allowed the dust to continue to slide into the abyss."

"Yes, the 'Salvation Army' appeared because there was no hope in the chaotic era." Shang Jianyao sighed.

Du Heng nodded:

"When the number of human beings has dropped significantly again, part of the civilization has been cut off, and it is in jeopardy. Together with the senior executives who are worried about this, I have a few open and honest talks with the remaining ones, and I have fought twice.

"Considering the importance of human beings to our stability in the 'New World', we finally reached an agreement, that is, try not to interfere in the affairs of Huitu, reduce the frequency of 'no heart disease', and let humans recuperate.

"At the same time, I, who won the victory, also imposed restrictions on other executives, so that they could not leave the 'Tower' normally, so that their every move in the 'New World' could not be hidden from me. This is equivalent to their operation The log is transparent to me, so their private connection, either through the people and things in the dust, or through the 'truth'."

"Why is 'truth' not restricted?" Shang Jianyao asked doubtfully.

Du Heng said:

"He is also a researcher himself. He just entered the Eighth Academy and was transferred to the second research area. He lost his body because of that disaster and entered the 'New World'.

"He woke up late, at that time, we had already completed the distribution, and no one wanted to have one more person who shared the authority.

"Later when our conflict broke out, he kept hiding and didn't show up, so he wasn't imprisoned in the tower. In addition, he was not a juvenile, and he didn't have an operation log. And I have a split personality, and I often fight against myself. He carefully monitored the affairs of those awakened people in the 'New World', so he became the most special one.

"At critical moments, he can also obtain certain authority through the executive behind him."

Before Shang could see Yao and ask again, Du Heng brought the topic back on track:

"After that conflict, Ash ended the years of chaos and began to count years with a new calendar.

"The executives who are constrained and restricted have lost part of their freedom, and they will definitely not be reconciled, and as time goes by, we have discovered another problem.

"That is, machines have a lifespan, and machines age.

"Once that machine is finished, the 'new world' that loses contact with the dust and the corresponding support will either collapse, or completely float in the 'darkness' until it dissipates.

"Many parts can be replaced, but the core components cannot be operated under electrified conditions. As long as the power is cut off, we may disappear directly.

"'Siming' they hope to prepare in advance, relying on the remaining people from the Eighth and Sixth Hospitals to build another machine, and then try to transfer it, but this will probably require a lot of human consciousness to act as a catalyst or a stabilizer.

"At that time, I had already made a decision, and I didn't promise them. They started collusion and resistance in private, and turmoil happened again and again."

"What decision?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Du Heng looked at him and smiled:

"I'm going to destroy that machine and put an end to it all and bring this decades-long catastrophe to a close."

"Ah?" Shang Jian Yao was shocked.

Seeing this, Du Heng smiled teasingly:

"Or do you think who gave the nuclear warhead to your team?"

Chapter 41 request

Shang Jian Yao was startled at first, and then suddenly realized:

"No wonder there are so many coincidences!"

Du Heng maintained that slightly teasing smile and said:

"In order for Jiang Baimian to break through the barrier and bring the nuclear bomb to that machine, I specially guided her so that she can quickly enter the 'spiritual corridor'."

"Oh..." Shang Jian Yao had an "I see" expression on his face.

He immediately remembered something, and asked curiously and concernedly:

"Those executives who want to maintain the status quo, and the 'truth', do you know that you want to die together?"

"'Si Ming' they should only know that I have some personalities with a strong tendency to self-destruct, but those are not the mainstream and belong to the target of suppression." Du Heng smiled slightly, "Otherwise, their watching and interference with your team will not So few, and only give some guidance at a few key points in person or through an agent, of course, this is mainly because you are afraid that you will feel persecuted and do something irrational and disrupt the overall situation."

The eagerly flickering lights of different colors filled the room with a sense of tension.

Shang Jian Yao said "Oh":

"In other words, 'Truth' they don't know that our group has a nuclear bomb?"

"Although I have already added an influence to your corresponding memory, so that the readers will take the initiative to ignore it, but there are always variables and accidents in the world, and I can't guarantee it." Du Heng was relieved, "And now even if they know it, they can't guarantee it." There is no way to exert influence on Jiang Baimian, unless they can defeat me first and gain control of the 'New World'."

Shang Jian Yao nodded slowly.

He looked back at the door, as if he was looking at the "Si Ming" and other executives who were trying to invade this place:

"No wonder you clearly knew what their plan was, and still let me push that door open and walk into this room."

"I want to stop it, but I can't do it." Du Heng laughed at himself, "My personalities are very independent, and different personalities guard different, uh, although it is not accurate enough, it is better to use 'port' to describe the relative image. So even if I don't want to open the door for you, Xiao Chong, who has friendship with you, will not obey, and will open the door corresponding to him. When you enter his room, you, who are also split personalities, will get a fusion state and automatically come to here."

Shang Jianyao didn't quite understand what he heard, but he knew one thing called "the minority obeys the majority":

"Won't you send some of you who have no friendship with me to guard Xiao Chong's room, and lock him up once you find him trying to open the door?"

"The 'port' I just used was really not accurate enough." Du Heng thought for a while, "Can you eliminate one of your personalities, or let him fuse with another personality?"

"No." Shang Jian Yao shook his head.

Du Heng nodded:

"Each of my personalities corresponds to a room here, and because I hold the highest authority of that machine, the control of the 'New World', each room naturally becomes a port leading to here.

"I only talk about performance, not principle, do you understand?"

"Yes." Shang saw that Yaojiu was ill and became a good doctor, so he understood it immediately, "Another personality trying to enter Xiao Chong's room is equivalent to trying to fuse him, which is impossible."

Du Heng showed a satisfied smile:

"As long as you know.

"Here, there are many problems manifested by my defects, which are part of being targeted."
