The Mechanic

"What happened? Why did you ask me to meet?"

Todd took a sip of his wine, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, a robot waiter came over and politely reminded him that the smoking area was on the other side.

Todd put the cigarette back into his pocket irritably, and waited until the robot was far away before saying, "I am grateful that you saved Cindy's life. Cindy is recovering, but...you inject her Is the robot in Paradise Lost?"

Zhang Xun nodded, "I'm sorry, the genetic decoding has encountered a bottleneck, and Cindy can't wait anymore. So..."

"I understand, I just want to ask, what will the side effects you mentioned develop into later?" Todd frowned, "She is not the same now as before."

To be expected.

Zhang Xun lowered his head sadly and said, "She will start to have some kind of...I'm not sure if it's a hallucination. She will feel that she is connected with others, and she will become very sensitive to other people's thoughts and emotions. Sensitive, to the point of being neurotic. What happens after that varies from person to person.”

"Will she be a danger to herself and others?" Todd asked.

"I...not sure...I didn't stay in Paradise Lost enough to see the follow-up development." Zhang Xun tilted his head slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Are you worried?"

"She tried to escape from the hospital once," Todd said finally. "She said she wanted to leave Feathered Serpent City, that God was calling her, that she needed to... 'go back'... when I tried to stop her, she He fired a shot at me, but luckily missed."

Religious fanaticism...

This seems to be a possible personality transformation after the brain is modified. Those people feel connected to some larger collective consciousness, and they start to believe that human beings are originally whole and connected, like Adam and Eve before they were kicked out of Eden, the most complete human beings. But later, they were kicked out of Eden, they had sin and self, so the complete "one" was disassembled and turned into tens of thousands of human beings.

These people will regard the consciousness cloud as the destination of some religious purpose, and distort the interpretation of heaven or the world of bliss in various religious teachings, so that the consciousness cloud conforms to the descriptions of all those religious classics.

"I thought she was going to calm down."

"Peace is the later stage. When they know that one day their consciousness will merge with everyone, they will get peace." Zhang Xun said in a low voice, "It may be my fault, originally she could get peace , but when injecting the robot, I told Cindy that I would find a way to 'cure' her 'side effects', and she might not want to be 'fixed' by me, so she lost control."

"Can you cure her?" Todd looked at him earnestly with some doubts but did not dare to doubt, "How long will it take? James... Will it end up like this?"

"I will definitely be able to fix her, and I will definitely find a solution before James gets to that point, no matter what method is used, no matter what price is paid." Zhang Xun clenched his hands tightly under the table and looked at Tao seriously. De, "I swear, I will."

Looking at his firm eyes, Todd felt a little sad for some reason. Looking at the overwhelmed mechanic who voluntarily assumed the responsibility of human survival, he asked, "Is there anything I can do to help? Anya has already contacted several settlements, and we may be able to help you with something."

Zhang Xun wanted to refuse and told him not to worry. But on second thought, maybe he really needs help.

It is difficult for him to leave Feather Serpent City now, but Todd can.

"Under the premise of ensuring my own safety, I hope you can help me find someone." Zhang Xun said.

"who?"

"Natalie Clausen." Zhang Xun said, "The leader of the Eden Church, a descendant of Herman Clausen."

Chapter 109 Twin Cities (7)

Eden gives Adam an ultimatum.

If Adam's trip to Feather Snake City fails to solve Zhang Xun's problem this time, Eden will not continue to pay attention to Adam's opinion and start to implement the plan to neutralize Zhang Xun.

Apparently Zhang Xun has already developed an upgraded version of Pan in Feather Snake City, and has already begun to have a considerable impact on the two main AIs in Feather Snake City that were originally indirectly controlled by Eden. The last time Eden had a conversation with Phoenix, he clearly felt the weight change of some important parameters of the other party. It tried to use a large amount of data that it had screened to wash away those suspicious images, but it did not expect that Phoenix refused to accept the database it sent.

Eden immediately raised Zhang Xun's threat index to the fourth level, and there was only one level left after that. Once Zhang Xun's threat index reaches five, no matter how Adam negotiates or threatens, it is impossible for Eden to keep Zhang Xun.

Adam withdrew his consciousness and withdrew from the consciousness cloud Hengxiang. Pan's voice sounded in his head, "This is the first time you have been disconnected after the consciousness cloud was established."

"The time is up." Adam looked at the black "cloud" above his head with eyes like a cold lake, looking at the future he built for mankind, but there was only endless emptiness deep in his pupils, "I need to accomplish something."
