"Student Council President, what does this mean?"

"There is no special meaning. I just follow the regulations of the "organization" and make judgments based on my own situation in a crisis situation."

Du Juan's silent words are displayed through comic-like dialog boxes that don't look real at all.

"The spread of the '4000 Million Calamity' is unexpected."

Gou Ye was a little desperate for this answer, because she knew what it meant—Du Juan’s suppression of the student revolution was not for the sake of organization, but purely for self-realization. In other words...her purpose From the beginning, it was to pollute the spiritual veins and then restore the former majesty on this land.

"I will never allow this to happen..."

Gou Ye pointed his long knife at Du Juan, and the long knife named "Qi" was like a ruler without a trace of curvature, reflecting the faces of the two of them like a balance.I don't know if it was one of the ways to use this knife, or it was simply because of Gou Ye's aura, everyone present stopped because of Gou Ye's movements, and the atmosphere became tense again.

"Oh, you are really a teacher who is strict with self-discipline." Du Juan obviously did not make a sound, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "If you say that my purpose is to liberate the "organization" itself, you will not agree Is it?"

"Master Cuckoo!"

Standing aside, Xing Mankong looked incomprehensibly at the student council president he had always trusted, but what Du Juan said made him understand that the student council president was not what he thought.

However, Du Juan, who was dressed in black, didn't even look at Xingmankong, as if his existence was meaningless to this war.

"That is impossible."

Gou Ye did not waver at all, and pulled out another long sword from the sword box at his waist and laid it across in front of him, as if drawing the boundary between the two of them, and also drawing a line between them and everyone in Xingmankong. the distance between.

Although Xingmankong was dissatisfied, he could only accept this status quo. Among the people present, the only one who could confront Du Juan was Teacher Gouye. Even if he was involved, it would only become a burden.

"I had nothing to do with the 'organization' in the first place, I'm just standing here to protect the students."

"That's really a pity~" Du Juan narrowed his eyes, "Teacher's life can only end here."

Countless darkness rushed in the direction of the warrior, white and black lines fought into a ball in the hall.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xing Mankong, Shan Shangchuan, and Shan Wanshan are in a dangerous confrontation. Although no one is willing to strike first, everyone knows that the other party is the enemy that must be defeated at this stage .

"Shan Shangchuan... are you going to give up your dignity as a water control system?"

The questioner was Xing Mankong, the creator of the water control system. At this moment, Shan Shangchuan was wearing a long black dress, and the hem of the skirt blended with the black on the ground.Although Shan Shangchuan still seems to have an independent personality, even so, it can be seen from his mental state that her forced fusion with the "4000 Million Disaster" has caused damage to the AI ​​itself.

Shan Shangchuan, who was treated like a "daughter" by himself, was being abused in this way at this moment, but Xing Mankong could only clenched his fists at this moment.

"The water control system has never had dignity. It is just a by-product of my father's research."

More cold-hearted, more impersonal, and less considerate of people's feelings than usual.Shan Shangchuan entered text on the mobile phone, and the dialog box above his head was displayed like this.

"We are just electronic mice running in the experimental server. Brother knows this too. Why do we still stand on the side of Senior Xingmankong?"

Xing Mankong looked at Shan Wanshan who was beside him. The latter had just removed all the black spikes staring at him. The torn body flickered like a broken projection a few times before returning to normal. .

The water control system is the highest masterpiece of Xingmankong. Unless it is in such an abnormal situation, almost no one can tell that they are not human beings.Because Shan Shangchuan is not good at interacting with people, he is not as perfect as other brothers and sisters seem to be.However, at this moment, Shan Shangchuan, standing on the other side of the battle line, seems to have lost his consciousness as an anthropomorphic intelligence. After assimilating with the inhuman dark matter, Shan Shangchuan looks more like a "terminal" than a human being.

"Isn't what you said strange, Shan Shangchuan."

Shan Wanshan walked to the front of Xingmankong and faced Shan Shangchuan directly.

"If we were born into this world as guinea pigs, as some kind of tools. Then why are you betraying your master's orders now?"

Shan Wanshan's words made Xing Mankong tremble. He never thought that he would become the master of the water control system, nor did he think of using this identity to order the water control system. The water control system is like his own child to him. The presence.But what do they think of the water control system?The original water control system is a microcosmic reproduction of the flood system, and the flood system is a creation created after the microcosmization and abstraction of the country managed by the "organization".

Xingmankong has never thought about what permissions, orders, instructions, all these things represent in the small world made up of artificial intelligence.

"Shan Wanshan..."

"Dad, please shut up. The current situation is caused by Dad's weakness."

Xingmankong, who was stopped, glanced away resentfully.

"Indeed, I don't seem to have the right to criticize you. Compared with you who have been able to stick to your post honestly in the past two years, my brother, as early as 2 years ago, because I couldn't bear being ruled by rules and authorities every day Going berserk due to the restricted life..."

Shan Wanshan's tone revealed incomparable self-blame, Xing Mankong looked at Shan Wanshan's back in surprise, in his impression, Shan Wanshan would never take the initiative to bring up this matter.After all, for an AI, such a thing is really disgraceful, as if the anti-virus software itself has become a virus, it is generally disgusting.

"But...but that's not my fault. I'm an artificial intelligence designed as a model for human beings, and I naturally have human desires and desires. So even if I made such a mistake, my father didn't Treat me like a guinea pig in a lab, right?"

Xing Mankong lowered his head, trembling because of Shan Wanshan's words, if it weren't for this situation, he would probably beat Shan Wanshan hard, right?Anyway, according to Shan Wanshan's temperament, she must have caused goosebumps when she said such words, and she must have caused some trouble or increased the number of server arrays without authorization.

But now it's different...

"So I understood one thing. Human beings obey rules not because they fear them, but because they want them. The purpose of rules is not to make us live like guinea pigs, nor is it to make humans behave like Lives like livestock, but a protective shell born to get us out of that predicament. It’s not the rules themselves that make us that way, but the fear of being punished when we touch them.”

"Well……"

Shan Shangchuan seemed to be afraid of something, he took a step back, but Shan Wanshan took a step forward.

"That's right, fear is the culprit that turns human beings into walking corpses. Could it be that Shan Shangchuan also hopes that I, Lord Luo Haofeng, will become those walking corpses without self-awareness outside?"

"Isn't there no difference? If it becomes like that...if it becomes like that, at least you won't feel the pain of losing your freedom."

Shan Shangchuan used radiation and huge cursive script to express his feelings, probably because even Shan Shangchuan himself could not control it under such circumstances.

"That's wrong! Even if we feel fear, even if we feel pain, even if we are bound and cannot be free, but we are still human, aren't we? It is because we are living humans that there are so many troublesome things, even if Even if we gain freedom, we only gain happiness in a short period of time. As long as we are human beings, as long as we are creatures imitating human beings, we will have to endure this kind of suffering. Gluttony, lust, greed, lamentation, rage , laziness, conceit, arrogance, human beings are originally such imperfect creatures, and it is because of their own imperfection that they want to constantly pursue perfection. The existence of rules is not to make human beings return to the state of pigs and dogs, but It was born so that human beings would not fall into self-destruction in the process of pursuing their own perfection!"

Shan Wanshan approached step by step, her voice getting higher and higher, as if she was going to push her sister into a corner.

"How is it possible! Could it be that you are willing to become a slave to the rules like this?"

"That's right, that's why I'm willing to be a slave to the 'system'."

Xing Mankong, who had been standing behind him all the time, said that Shan Wanshan looked back at Xing Mankong and signaled him not to approach the dangerous Shan Shangchuan.However, Xing Mankong patted Shan Wanshan on the shoulder lightly, thanking him with his eyes.

"It's really uncomfortable to be educated by my own children like this. But, Shan Wanshan is right, it is because of this that I am willing to become a slave to the rules."

"What's the difference between surrendering to fear and surrendering to the rules?"

Shan Shangchuan looked at Xingmankong warily, and expressed his doubts in a dialog box.

"As Shan Wanshan said, I don't think rules exist to restrain us. Although its role is indeed to restrain us, it is only a means rather than an end. It is precisely because of the restraint that we Is it possible to get rid of the most primitive fear? Master Du Juan also said that her purpose is to replicate the '4000 million disaster' across the country, but the '4000 million disaster' was originally a man-made natural disaster...Why is it What about man-made natural disasters? Because, since human beings established the 'system', natural natural disasters have become less and less able to bring fear to people. And the '4000 million disaster' called 'man-made natural disasters' was also in a certain A catastrophe created by artificially disabling the 'system' in order to create as much panic as possible under special circumstances."

Ignoring those attacks rushing from the floor, as if all the attacks were bent the moment they hit him, Xingmankong walked towards Shan Shangchuan step by step without dodging at all.

"Don't you understand at this point? My daughter... I... feel honored to be able to acquire the power of the 'Paper Palace'...in other words, to be a 'slave of the rules' as you call it."

"Eh?"

Shan Shangchuan made a sound out of surprise, and only then did he realize his strangeness.

"Don't you think that as a father, I just watch you guys fight each other over there?"

Xingmankong was already standing in front of Shan Shangchuan at this moment, obviously he should launch an attack, but Shan Shangchuan found that he couldn't do it no matter what.Facing this man with a smile on his face who was obviously only a few years older than himself in terms of "setting".It's not because of the hands and feet or the attack of the disease, but it's just that I can't attack this person anyway.

"The concept of introducing the concept of epidemic disease into the Internet is really good, but the meme conversion is too bad, and the data interface is also a mess. So Shan Shangchuan, you are not suitable for development and intrusion..."

Xing Mankong's hand gently rested on the shoulder of Shan Shangchuan's evening dress, and the disease began to wrap around his body, but he looked back at Shan Wanshan behind him as if he didn't feel the pain.

"In contrast, Shan Wanshan... your paradoxism is simply a complete mess."

"The sky is full of stars..."

"That's right, just like what Shan Wanshan said, I have always treated you as human beings since you were born. But I, who is weak, have not won you the same status as human beings. My father is really negligent of his duty." .But, from now on... I will fight for your legal status, and you will not be merged into the 'flood system' even after the experiment is over...I will do my best. So ah, already It's the final stage, can you help Dad?"

A dialogue window asking for permission popped up in front of Shan Shangchuan. As long as you press OK, Xingmankong can invade the inside of this spell through the link between her and 4000 million disasters.

However, if that is the case, it also means that the disaster of 4000 million will spread throughout the water control system.

"Father……"

Shan Shangchuan's voice was choked with excitement, but Xingmankong seemed to understand what she wanted to say.

"I, believe in the child I created~"

Shan Shangchuan lightly pressed the button on the window.

"Me too, I believe that my father was created."

A completely different circuit pattern from the traditional technique extends from where Shan Shangchuan stands, covering the black ground as if etched, and the green lines surround everyone present.An indescribable sense of healing flows from the feet. It is not a colorless power like a spiritual vein, but a sense of peace that links each other.

The green lines continued to expand along the black land, enveloping those students who had turned into unconscious walking corpses along the way, and even those in the sports group who were still fighting were also linked, followed by those who were in the dark Those who are trying to stop the spread of darkness, those who are trying to use their new power to fight, and those who are scattered all over the campus are trembling.

The consciousness of the entire C University seems to be connected together at this moment.

"Be careful, if this black thing gets on it, it won't be able to move."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you burn it with fire, it will retreat soon."

"I still have the leftover yogurt I bought in the cafeteria earlier, it is said that this..."

"Well, but those people..."

"Look, they're back to consciousness!"

"Darkness is retreating~"

"Who will teach me how to control this power!"

"At a time like this, we should..."

The words of different people appear in the ears and in front of the eyes. Compared with the computer network, the connection between each other is deepened. Everyone is no longer a person, and everyone is no longer a lonely individual.However, it will not become a negative vortex due to information overload.

"This is really..." Shan Wanshan widened her eyes and looked at Shan Shangchuan who was perfectly coordinating everything in front of her in disbelief, "Water control system...?"

"That's right, this is the true face of the water control system~"

Xingmankong also seems to have regained his energy at this moment. The green coils formed several screens and virtual floating keyboards around him, and every indicator on the screen showed perfect values ​​as expected.

"This is also the difference between the water control system and her prototype flood system. Don't think that your dad can only make imitations."

"So, so to speak, Shan Shangchuan..."

"That's right, Shan Shangchuan... Didn't you wonder why there are two nodes that can realize central management in the water control system? This is the answer... Shan Shangchuan is not an AI that exists to connect to AI, It is an AI that exists to connect people."

"Good job, Dad."

"Well," Xing Mankong scratched his head ashamedly, "you don't need to laugh at me, kid, if it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't want to release Shan Shangchuan's ability even in this situation. After returning safely this time, the report will have to be written three times as much as usual. However, the biggest problem is there..."

In the direction Xingmankong was looking at, the battle between the student council president and the warrior came to an end at some point.Although Du Juan's body was still covered by darkness, Mr. Gou Ye's two long knives were now resting on the former's neck like scissors.

Of course, Mr. Gou Ye didn't seem to be harmless, the blood holes on his shoulder and right leg were scary.

"As expected of a person who has been the student council president for six years here... Cough~"

Gou Ye whispered, coughing up a mouthful of blood, "In order to make you unable to move for a while before the revolution is over, I will cut off your head first, but this will not kill you, please understand."

"makes sense……"

Du Juan raised his head proactively, facing the sharp blade with his neck, and seemed to be looking at the sky.The huge black castle is disintegrating, revealing the ceiling of the library originally painted with religious murals.

"It is impossible for us to die, as long as human beings are still afraid."

With the last words, the student council president fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound like an ordinary person.
