Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[Maybe, she is laughing. 】

[Prometheus moved lightly, walked in front of you, and raised his right hand wordlessly. 】

[Four fingers are slightly bent, only the little finger is slightly stretched out. 】

【Seeing this movement, you hesitated for a moment, then stretched out your hand as well, flexing your four fingers and stretching out your little finger. 】

[Hook finger and swear. 】

【You agreed to wait until the moment when you really have leisure, until the disaster called collapse is completely overcome by human beings. 】

【You will go to Antarctica together to enjoy the beautiful aurora. 】

[After solving the rare emotional problems of Prometheus, or seeing her so clearly as a human being, you are ready to continue your own experiments. 】

【Then, under the gaze of Prometheus' dull gray eyes, he finally chose to give up and go back to the lounge to rest. 】

【Actually...】

[It is very likely that there are not so many things that you really need to do in person. 】

【It's just that you are constantly pushing yourself, and you don't want to stop even for a moment. 】

【Because you tell yourself that you have to do your best. As long as your efforts are really effective, even if the real effect is small, you will never be stingy with your energy and sweat. 】

[When you were resting, Prometheus stood quietly in the lounge, staring blankly at your sleeping face. 】

【Perhaps you know, but you absolutely cannot understand what the agreement you made with her means to Prometheus, an intellectual life form born from your hands. 】

[That is a memory that has appeared in the brain since birth. 】

【That is the physical body as the carrier. When it is gradually cooling down, I know it is hopeless, but it is still a beautiful dream that echoes in my mind. 】

【That is the illusory redemption given in the painful death. 】

[Even if it is illusory, it can still be warm enough. 】

[At the same time, it is also the earliest basic cognition of self as a created artificial intellectual life. 】

【who I am. 】

[Where am I going. 】

[What do I want to do. 】

[But what she finally knew was that the images echoing in her mind were not actually her own memories. 】

[The artificial life body named Prometheus is not really the girl who was the former owner of this body. 】

[Even the last promise that can make people feel warm is not something that belongs to me. 】

[In this case, it is natural to have doubts and confusion about oneself. 】

[Perhaps, neither self-awareness nor doubt and confusion are unnecessary. 】

[After all, weapons don't need these meaningless things. 】

[However, someone told her that it doesn't matter even if the memories in her mind don't belong to her, she can create memories that truly belong to her with the individual in her mind. 】

[Even if the promise she longed for doesn't really belong to her, it doesn't matter, she can re-conclude the promise that truly belongs to her with the individual in her mind. 】

【How to do it is up to you to decide. 】

【And now...】

【"Drip—"】

【"It is monitored that the blood flow rate is accelerating, and the temperature in some areas is abnormally rising."】

【"The cooling system starts—"】

【Suppressing the abnormal state that suddenly appeared on his body, Prometheus continued to look at his creator, silently counting the breathing time during sleep. 】

["...863,864...1123,1124...1394."]

[At a certain point, the counting stopped abruptly. 】

[You open your eyes and sit up. 】

["Reminder·The total sleep time is 83 minutes, the number of breaths during this period is 1394, and the average breathing rate is 17 times per minute, which belongs to the healthy category. A softer mattress is conducive to improving your sleep quality. In addition, taking into account your fatigue To a certain extent, it is recommended to continue to rest."]

【"It's not necessary, it's enough."】

【You walk towards the laboratory, Prometheus quietly follows behind. 】

[Holding a small syringe in your hand, inhale a small amount of the latest T virus stock solution, you look at the experimental subject in front of you, and hold the core of the Herrscher of Knowledge in your right hand. 】

[You close your eyes slightly, trying to use your consciousness to resonate with the core of the Herrscher of Consciousness. 】

[Different from other herrscher cores, a specific genetic frequency is required to resonate with it. 】

[The Herrscher of Consciousness is a Herrscher of consciousness, so you don't need to genetically modify yourself in order to use this Herrscher core. 】

[In addition, the former Herrscher of Knowledge transferred his consciousness into your spirit, and was eventually obliterated by your spirit, which also gave you the basis for being able to resonate with the core of the Herrscher of Knowledge. 】

[After all, if you want to talk about how to use the core of the Herrscher of Consciousness, the most familiar one is probably the Herrscher of Consciousness himself who has been eliminated. 】

[You refer to the memory of the Herrscher of Knowledge, trying to resonate with the core of the Herrscher. 】

[The Herrscher of Reason itself has the power of understanding and reconstruction, so it can combine with artificial intelligence and the physical body to create creations such as Prometheus. 】

[The other Herrscher cores do not have such convenience, so you have to use your own method. 】

[As time goes by, your hands slowly spread the traces of being corroded by the Honkai Energy. 】

[Even if it has a very high resistance to Houkai energy, it does not mean that it will not be eroded by Houkai energy when you hold the Herrscher's core in your hand and resonate with it. 】

[However, your spirit is still fully focused and has not been disturbed. 】

[The next moment, a golden light suddenly overflowed from your eyes, as if some invisible idea was trying to invade your thinking. 】

[But before this process is really accomplished, you mobilized the power of the newly born Herrscher of Consciousness, and instantly tore apart the consciousness in your mind. 】

[Two independent but identical consciousnesses appear in your mind. 】

【Common control of your body, but without the slightest disorder. 】

[Because, as long as you are the same, you have the same goal, the same logic of behavior, and the same choice. 】

[The mysterious power that is trying to influence your spirit seems to have stagnated slightly because of this situation. 】

[But you didn't stop, you continued to control your own consciousness, and continued to divide the consciousness that had been torn into two halves. 】

[Four copies, eight copies. 】

[At the same time, all split consciousnesses are trying to restore and strengthen themselves as much as possible. 】

[After all, the strength of consciousness essentially comes from your heart, your spirit. 】

[Even if you are reduced to a miserable appearance of being torn apart by force, as long as your heart remains unshakable, then your consciousness is still strong. 】

[At this time, the force that comes from the erosion of Houkai and affects consciousness seems to have finally begun to take effect. 】

[In the consciousness separated by you, one of them suddenly became a "heterogeneous". 】

【Holding the desire to destroy from nowhere, they regard human civilization as their mortal enemy and aim at the destruction of human beings. 】

[For this consciousness, the most important thing is to carry out one's own "mission", which is a natural goal without reason. 】

[However, in the next instant, this abnormal consciousness was wiped out by the other consciousnesses in an instant. 】

【"It's really fragile." Your face was slightly pale, and you gave such an evaluation. 】

[To wipe out one-eighth of one's consciousness, even a strong mind cannot completely ignore this kind of thing. 】

【Fortunately, just like immune cells clean up infected necrotic cells, erasing the alienated consciousness does not seem to be such a difficult task. 】

[This is not something that surprises you. Rather, it would be incredible if the alienated consciousness could make a decent resistance. 】

【There is no independent self, driven by the destructive desire to act without knowing where it comes from, with bewildered hatred.Such a consciousness, no matter how strong it is, is actually fragile. 】

[You continue to divide your own consciousness, and at the same time, your consciousness is continuously infected by Houkai. 】

[However, the alienated consciousness infected by Houkai is often wiped out in an instant. 】

[In this case, even though your consciousness is still depleted, you can temporarily maintain yourself from being completely affected by the collapse. 】

[At this time, the traces of the previous Honkai energy infection on your arm have disappeared. 】

[The strange and dangerous golden light overflows in the eyes, showing the power you have controlled. 】

[You glanced at the Herrscher Core in your hand. 】

[Although you have the idea of ​​not wanting to fully incarnate as a Herrscher unless necessary, you can already freely mobilize the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge from this core. 】

[Ignoring the constant splitting and obliteration of consciousness coming from the mind, you injected the stock solution from the syringe in your hand into the experimental subject's body in an extremely standard manner without any interference, and used special methods to quickly promote the activity of the virus. 】

[As the RNA reverse transcription of the latest T-virus proceeds, the genetic material of the experimental subject is quietly modified. 】

[You silently mobilized the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, trying to fight against the contagious power of the Houkai, and shelter the consciousness of this experimental subject. 】

[At a certain moment, the experimental subject who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes. 】

【Failed. 】

【Looking at the desire to destroy the surroundings displayed by the experimental subject, you are not surprised by this. 】

[After all, it comes from the power of Honkai. It is impossible to say that it is so simple to be able to infect the consciousness of Keng Honkai. 】

[Not disappointed, you continue with the next experiment. 】

[You wipe out the consciousness of this experimental subject that has been eroded by the Houkai, and then use the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge to transfer the consciousness of the remaining experimental subjects to this body that has become an empty shell. 】

[In the end, the eyes of this experimental subject, which dimmed as their consciousness faded away, radiated light again. 】

[However, in the next instant, the various emotional factors in those eyes disappeared again, and they turned into the appearance of being infected by Houkai again. 】

[The experiment failed. 】

【Facing this failure, you fell silent. 】

[After all, even your rather bad plan has somewhat acceptable results. 】

[That is to transfer the human consciousness out of the body first, and then transfer the consciousness in after turning the body into a collapsed creature. 】

[But now it seems that this kind of operation is also unfeasible. 】

[Because the erosion of consciousness by Houkai is not only when it is transformed, but every moment after the completion of Houkai. 】

[And after the consciousness is completely eroded by Houkai, it can be said that the original person has died. 】

【You are silent for a moment, thinking in your mind. 】

[Then, proceed to the next experiment. 】

【With the help of the Herrscher of Knowledge...】

[The experiment failed. 】

【You make all kinds of attempts, but in the end, the result of every experiment is failure. 】

[After an unknown amount of time, you feel dizzy, and the scene in front of you seems to have double images. 】

[You know, you have used the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge for too long. 】

【During this period, in order to resist the erosion of consciousness by the Houkai, you constantly tore your own consciousness, and then continued to wipe away the consciousness eroded by the Houkai. 】

[In this way, although you can temporarily protect yourself from being truly controlled by the collapse, the mental load is unimaginable for ordinary people. 】

【You bit the tip of your tongue lightly, forcing yourself to cheer up. 】

[There is still a final experiment to be done——]

[Actually, strictly speaking, this experiment does not need to continue. 】

[Because you know the outcome of the experiment, after you get the Herrscher of Knowledge, all the puzzle pieces are guaranteed to lead to the success of this experiment. 】

【However, this kind of success is actually the worst ending...】

[It can successfully continue human civilization, but it is the worst ending in the worst plan. 】

【Hold the core of the Herrscher of Consciousness tightly in your hand, and stretch out the power without words. 】

[After a while. 】

【success. 】

[Only the worst outcome can be achieved - you are not surprised by this outcome. 】
