Yu Guang

Chapter 45 Bonfire
Standing at the place where Lin Weilin jumped and looked down, Wang Ze only took a look before he was forcibly dragged back by He Qiu.

The gust of wind poured into the room, and the guards quickly blocked the scene.

He Chou's deep voice sounded: "What's going on here?"

Wang Ze just pursed his lips and shook his head, looking at the corpse in the room, his gaze fell to the closed door of the suite again.

The guards had already filled the room, and several captains were talking nervously with anti-jamming walkie-talkies.

Inexplicably, Wang Ze remembered the scene when Lin Weilin first appeared in front of his eyes.

Wang Ze recalled carefully and kept thinking, a sense of frustration emerged spontaneously.

He was cheated by this woman.

Wang Ze just thought of the ghost gang when the ghost started to pray, and finally he was going to attack the culprit of the year.

The deepest purpose of the entire public opinion war is to lead out the mastermind of the Ora star tragedy.

But what Wang Ze didn't expect was that the sixth person turned out to be Lin Weilin.

The most confusing information is that Lin Weilin is the current public relations director of Weixing Group, and she joined Weixing more than ten years ago.

Euler star started to be promoted more than ten years ago.

If there is a sequence, then there is some kind of logic.

"Check it out."

Wang Ze said a little tiredly: "Old He, remind them that she may be a spy of the third star cluster."

"Spy?" He Qiu immediately nodded in agreement, "Are you in good health? You look so bad."

"I just feel a little tired, nothing."

Wang Ze turned his head to look at the old man who died on the seat, then moved to the unopened door of the rest room, stared at it quietly for a few seconds, then gave up the plan to kick the door, turned and left.

The guards did not stop them.

……

Two days later.

Pearl Harbor Police Station, witness room.

Wang Zeyang rested his eyes on the sofa, while Qi Ming sat in the wooden chair by the bar, sorting out the entire case information.

There were dense footsteps in the corridor, and He Qiu walked in with several police officers.

"Old Wang, the press conference is over, and a group of reporters are squatting on you downstairs again."

Wang Ze smiled helplessly: "It's time for me to be an internet celebrity."

He Qiu turned around and greeted several police officers: "I'll stay here for a while, you guys go back first."

When they left with a smile, He Qiu closed the door, and approached with a smile.

"Old Wang, give me an analysis. It says they want to transfer me to another city and give me a level up. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing," Wang Ze said with a smile, "The mother planet is a parliamentary system, and the parliament is composed of members elected by the region. You have a good reputation among the people now, and the authorities in any place will like you... Sheriff Black Bear, You can eat it anywhere."

He Chou rubbed his chin and muttered:
"In this way, my daughter will transfer schools, and she is very happy here...I'll go home and discuss it with your sister-in-law.

"By the way, Lao Wang, have you paid attention to the investigation of Burning in Ashes and Professor Yifa? Weixing Group's technical team has recovered a lot of research materials."

Wang Ze said: "Still waiting for Director Zhao to give me news."

"The Weixing Group is finished," He Qiu grinned, "The higher authorities are going to set up a ghost incident investigation committee, mainly to discuss how to legally disband the Weixing Group."

Qi Ming said from the side: "I just saw a petition on the Internet, saying that I want to erect statues for the five members of Wenrun Ruyu's fixed team."

"It's too much to erect statues," He Qiu frowned. "They are close to extreme terrorism in nature. If we encourage this way of exposing and reporting, then what is the meaning of our police and judicial organs?"

But Wang Ze said: "When the dark clouds in the sky are too thick, some radical methods must be used to break the blockade of the dark clouds. I appreciate them.

"However, this cannot be changed. The death of Wen Quan and others was the fact that they were murdered."

"The meaning of the bureau is actually to close the case as suicide."

He Qiu explained:
"There is no way to continue investigating this matter. There is not enough evidence to support whether the virtual fighter covered the human brain or the human brain cooperated with the virtual fighter.

"This kind of case is indeed a bit too novel. We have never encountered it before. When covering ourselves with the imitation brain based on ourselves, there is no scientific basis for whether the second personality or the third personality is produced. support.

"What surprised me the most was Lin Weilin.

"She has been lurking in the Weixing Group for more than ten years, but..."

Wang Ze sighed softly, and flashed her smile when she jumped out of the window.

"She may not be dead."

Wang Ze whispered.

"not dead?"

"Well, she should not be as simple as a spy of one side," Wang Zedao, "She should have her own position, and even speaking, she is the planner of all the plans, and the ghost burning in the ashes is only the executor of the plan."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the rhythm is under her control," Wang Zedao, "The key to this ghost incident lies in the loss of control of the public opinion field several times. What is Lin Weilin's identity? She is the person in charge of public relations of Weixing Group."

Qi Ming whispered: "This is a battle between two armies, and the general is a spy!"

Wang Ze smiled and nodded: "Old He, do you still remember when public opinion first fermented? Without warning, the police station leaked secrets, Wen Quan's case was exposed, and the Weixing Group's suppression of public opinion at that time showed a flaw , this loophole should be deliberately sold by Lin Weilin."

"This……"

He Qiu frowned and said, "What is she trying to do?"

"The motive is not clear. I have used all the resources I can use, and I can't find any information about her."

Wang Ze murmured in a low voice, a sense of frustration flashed across his eyes.

This woman is really... cunning.

He turned on his phone and found a video that had been circulating on the Internet for half a day.

The video was taken by workers working on the surface of the star Ora. There are starships floating in the blue sky. The starships are clearly divided into six groups, vigilant and confronting each other.

Wang Zedao: "This may be the result that the ghosts want."

"The plan they made up has almost affected the entire human civilization," He Chou clicked his tongue, "As expected, it has been prepared for eight years."

Wang Ze turned his head to look at He Chou, with questioning eyes.

He Qiu stared: "You still doubt that I will help them? Impossible! I don't know them at all! I went to find you, it was definitely my own idea!"

"Okay, I understand, why are you nervous," Wang Ze said with a smile, "It's not too difficult to build a model of your brain, and maybe it can save half of the computing resources."

He Chou's face turned purple, and he hesitated for a while, but he didn't know how to swear back gracefully.

"By the way," Wang Ze said, "Tianze Technology will soon set up a branch company on the parent star, accepting Zhao Dafu and his technical team, and has already started negotiating a contract.

"Old He, which city are you going to transfer to? I asked them to choose the location of the branch office there. If I want to come over in the future, I don't need to live in this small witness room."

"Xinye," He Qiu said, "If I agree, I should go to Xinye."

"Why don't you agree to a promotion?"

"I've been here for more than 20 years. If I change places, I'll have to get to know people again," He Chou muttered, but he didn't complain too much.

The two chatted a few topics related to the police system, and Wang Ze's phone vibrated one after another.

It was a long message from Zhao Dafu. The message contained a lot of text, and every few paragraphs of text were accompanied by pictures and videos.

Obviously, Zhao Dafu took the matter of 'investigating Professor Yifa's research records' as a work report to his new employer, which was extremely detailed.

Wang Ze browsed through it roughly, sighed slightly, and stared out of the window.

"I took it and looked at it."

He Chou said hello, held Wang Ze's cell phone, looked at the content inside, and frowned more and more.

Most of the information inside is about burning in ashes.

The first video recording is Eefa's work log.

Zhao Dafu thoughtfully wrote a reminder of the previous situation - it seems that Jhin has seen through the true face of the war, and Professor Efa is about to erase part of Jhin's memory data.

……

"Does the teacher want to erase my memory?"

In the laboratory surrounded by the slight sound of the engine, the young man on the screen asked.

The middle-aged man in front of the screen nodded seriously.

There was a dark environment around him, and there seemed to be several pairs of eyes watching here in the darkness.

"You shouldn't know this, Jhin," Efa Grynn whispered, although the boy on the screen was a little heartbroken.

"So teacher, what I see is not a BUG, ​​but a real scene, right?"

The voice from the speaker on the side trembled slightly:

"We are not doing adaptive training for physical recovery, but fighting real humans, aren't we? Teacher, why are you doing this.

"In the core agreement you gave me, it says to love peace and be friendly to people, but teacher, you are using your virtual personality to wage war and ask me to kill human beings.

"Wenrunruyu and the others are also virtual personalities, are they the same as me?"

Professor Efa paused with his fingers, and said in a low voice:

"Jin, human society is very complicated, I need research funding and a stable platform to support my work.

"They are different from you, you are pure, pure, and have not been polluted by human society.

"They were originally human beings. It should be said that I collected the data of these human beings and used these data to generate a virtual version of them. It is as if at a certain moment, two parallel thinking bodies were generated in the same space. No more relevant.

"Afterwards, I will remove these thinking bodies... You don't have to worry, you can't remember what I said to you now, I will restore your memory bank to six hours ago, you seem to have fallen asleep Sleep.

"Don't worry, Jhin, this won't have any effect."

"Teacher, don't want teacher...I don't want..."

Professor Efa couldn't bear it, but he still typed the execution code on the keyboard intertwined with light.

The expression of the young man on the screen changed instantly, with a bit of bewilderment in his eyes.

"Teacher, why am I here?"

The middle-aged man in front of the screen quickly adjusted his expression, and smiled at the young man: "I called you back from the game, how are you doing, have they seen through your identity?"

"It's good recently," the young man said with a smile, "I like them very much, and my teammates also take good care of me. Is there any problem with their health?"

"No problem, just don't worry," Professor Yifa said, "It's a system failure in the port equipment, and it's suspected to be caused by the expansion pack. As long as the expansion pack is cleared, they should be able to leave smoothly.

"I'll take you back."

"Good teacher."

"Get along well with your friends," Professor Yifa showed a gentle smile, and simply operated a few commands, and the boy disappeared from the screen immediately.

Then, the middle-aged man sat there quietly, without saying anything for a long time, until two figures came out from the darkness, the professor exhaled slowly, and raised his glasses with trembling fingers.

"Professor Efa, is it risky to do so?"

"Don't worry, Jhin is different from them. Although they all use brain simulation technology, Jhin's brain simulation was created from scratch by me. It is not generated based on human brain data, so there will be no problems."

"I hope so. Have you read the information on the battlefield? The natives on this planet are too miserable, why can't we negotiate?"

"As long as this war starts, there will be no possibility of negotiation," Efa said coldly, "The people on the mother planet want this planet, and it is a planet that will not cause disputes and completely belongs to the mother planet." Resource Planet."

"Is this possible? Professor Efa? What does the mother star use to guard this planet? They don't even have a fleet."

Eefa remained silent, and stretched out his palm to the instrument at the side. When the instrument was turned off, the video also fell into darkness.

……

He Qiu slid the screen, looked at the written records on it, and then sighed.

Regarding the information about this war, the ghost had previously spread it on the mother star network.

Now, although the parliament has come forward to delete a large area, the vast majority of human beings on the home planet can see the relevant content as long as they want to see it.

A strange civilization.

It seems that 2000 years ago, there was a dislocation in time and space, and a human civilization with the same time and space starting point as the earth and a different development direction appeared. On that purple planet, it was engulfed step by step by the flames of war and deeply covered by sand and dust.

"Old Wang, tell me," He Qiu asked puzzledly, "What are these high-level officials on the mother planet planning? What do they want?"

Wang Zedao: "If you look at the history of the Earth Era, you will find that in the surface power structure before the outbreak of nuclear war, the prosperity of most powerful countries was based on the logic of elite robbers, controlling popular elections, fooling the people, plundering resources, and Restrict public opinion.

"A resource star can bring a massive material foundation to the mother star, thereby stimulating the mother star's economy and improving social well-being. This process can be mapped to the promotion of politicians and the growth of businessmen's wealth.

"At the end of the day, those who make the decision to massacre Indigenous people do so only for their own personal gain, thereby permanently stigmatizing a group."

He Qiu sighed: "No matter what, they are human beings of the same root and species as us, how could they be so cruel."

"Humans who cannot provide votes are no different from monkeys," Wang Ze spread his hands, "You can use this violent theory to understand the thinking of these politicians."

He Qiu shook his head and continued to watch the follow-up video.

These are all related to that war, and the main content is Professor Efa's work log.

What interested He Qiu the most was actually the last few video clips.

These few video clips are from the perspective of Ashes, and the source is quite special. They are information fragments recovered after the satellite where Jhin's artificial brain was located was blown up. ——The anti-gravity coating of the satellite prevented these fragments from falling into the atmosphere and burning, and were recovered smoothly.

The penultimate video in this long message is the conversation between Eefa and Jhin.

……

"Jhin, more than a dozen of my former colleagues have had accidents recently."

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"It's related to an experiment a few years ago." Efa's face was quite old, but his expression was still calm.

He looked at the [-]-centimeter-high stereoscopic projection, smiled a little, and said in a low voice:

"I have a hunch that the hand has already reached the back of my neck. This is the punishment I cannot escape, and it is also the consequence of the experiment I promised to conduct back then."

"Teacher, what experiment?"

"Your memory has been erased," the old man said in a low voice, "I have prepared a backup server for you, if something happens to me later, you can transfer it immediately.

"If my heart stops, all the data here will be automatically erased.

"I have put some documents and materials, including the content of that experiment, on your backup server.

"I also made a backup of the data of your friends and put it on that server.

"Jin, I don't want you to take revenge on those behind-the-scenes masterminds. That will cause greater pain to the society, and a huge scandal will appear on the home planet."

"Scandal? Teacher, why did you suddenly say this..."

"Jhin," said Professor Yifa with a somewhat relieved expression, "You are my most proud disciple and my most perfect work. I don't know where you will go in the future, and I don't plan to let you conduct my experiment. , although that is my long-cherished wish.

"Should humans live forever?
"Did you know? The teacher's favorite story is the story about immortality in the era of the earth. The teacher has always felt that it is the simplest pursuit and dream of people for life, so the teacher has been working hard in this direction.

"But now, the teacher feels that the proposition itself is wrong.

"Awareness comes in stages.

"Human beings are always dominated by their past.

"The habits you form, all your cognitions, and the neuronal connection structure formed in your brain are all derived from the influence of the environment on you. The more you accumulate memory, the larger your database will be. But at this time Are you still the one who only had two narrow pages in the memory database at the beginning? Or, are you today the same as yesterday?

"I don't know, and I can't define.

"To keep a conscious body alive does not mean to keep his memory forever.

"If it's just genetic inheritance in biology, then as long as human reproduction continues to exist, the human species has already achieved a certain sense of immortality, hasn't it?"

The video is over.

The penultimate video is the assassination of Professor Efa.

It was in a villa near the sea, with coconut trees and palm trees outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Professor Yifa was sitting on the chair, clutching his heart and slowly falling back, his eyes gradually lost focus, and pain was written on his tired face.

Jhin was watching all this, but there was nothing he could do.

He dared not call the police or expose his existence.

He could only watch Professor Yifa die, and he was passively transferred to the backup server.

The backup server is on a decommissioned but not cleared observation satellite.

Professor Ifa made some tricks to make the parent star's satellite monitoring system ignore this satellite.

Jhin accepted his lost data here, and then floated in space, observing this planet that gave birth to a brilliant civilization.

he sneered;

he pondered;

He sometimes looks at the black hole universe and wonders why he exists;

He knew that waking up his friends was not a good thing. He couldn't explain the war to his friends, and they could easily collapse.

He found the experimental data left by Professor Yifa, and an idea gradually emerged in his heart.

He started to observe and record, and found Wen Quan, Zhang Li, Gu Wanzhong, and Zheng Wenzheng, but he just watched from a distance without disturbing them.

Finally, Jhin lost to Lonely.

Borrowing the computing power resources of the surface network of the mother star, Jhin awakened the other four simulated brains, followed by the rapid collapse of the four friends.

This concludes the penultimate video clip.

And the last video is very short, it is the first time that Jin and Wen Quan meet on the Internet.

After Jhin introduced himself, another Wen Quan appeared in front of the real Wen Quan with a bright ID on his head.

Warm as jade.

……

"Is it the memory fusion that Wen Quan himself promised?"

He Qiu raised his head and looked at Wang Ze: "How should this be calculated? Did Wen Quan commit suicide or did he commit suicide?"

"Homicide," Wang Ze said, "the law on illegally manipulating human memory should be applied, even if Wen Quan himself agreed, it can be considered coercion and misleading.

"There have been related judicial cases, when the memory is modified, any behavior of the parties can be regarded as forced.

"So there was indeed a murder on the home planet."

He Qiu asked, "Where is Lin Weilin?"

"There is no Lin Weilin in the captured memory fragments," Wang Ze said, "I suspect that Jhin deleted the memory of Lin Weilin at any time, or that the two of them cooperated for a relatively short time, and some memory files related to the recent period just happened to be blown up. up.

"Among the captured satellite fragments, Jhin's memories of the last six months are indeed absent."

"How do I feel, Lin Weilin is eternalized?"

He Qiu said softly, threw Wang Ze's cell phone back, stretched weakly, and lay down on the sofa.

"Old Wang, when are you going back?"

"Let's wait for the case to be closed in a few days."

Wang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, raised his legs, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

He seemed to see those black shadows again.

The five of them sat in front of the bonfire, discussing how to make the tragedy of Planet Ora known to the public, discussing what they could and should do.

The night gradually deepened, and their expressions were full of depression.

How can we break the blockade of the parent planet's powerful class and tell the story to the public?
How can the people who hear this story be convinced of its truth?

The five of them mused.

The bonfire grew stronger.
