Walk alone in the abyss

It is a certainty that this girl has a problem.

But in the same way, Yang Ming and Lu couldn't judge Li's state, couldn't know Li's bottom line, and were indeed grasped by Li's intelligence advantage, so that they were always passive.

This is the dilemma brought about by information asymmetry.

Now, Yang Ming has tried and tested, and the experiment she wanted has advanced to the final step, and they can indeed have an open and honest talk.

The showdown is the showdown, the asking price is the asking price.

Always being led by the nose, Boss Yang himself is quite upset.

——It is also because of Dark Star's continuous development that he now has the qualifications to be unhappy with the other party. If it were two years ago, he should admit it or not.

The stereo projector in the room turned slightly, and the figures of Li Heli appeared in the two corners of the room one after the other.

Standing behind Yang Ming, Lu was wearing a clerk's skirt in a Luofeng military uniform, calmly crossing his arms.

Li is still dressed as a girl with double ponytails. She seems to have changed her 'skin' specially to witness today's ceremony. The slightly cute black dress with white tube socks makes people feel like an elf popping out of some comic works .

It's a pity that this is an elf who has mastered the lead of the 'Galaxy Nuclear Bomb'.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Reason's gaze fell on the young woman lying in the operating room through the narrow glass of the lounge.

"You have touched my bottom line several times, Ming."

Yang Ming said: "I don't know what to talk to you about either."

Li frowned and looked at the young man in front of him: "What do you mean?"

"Reason," Yang Ming sighed, "I don't know how to talk to you about this, but I still have to ask clearly... Whose thinking body is it that will be downloaded?"

Li said calmly: "I have said it many times, it is Levi's thinking body."

"Can I talk to him now?" Yang Ming asked softly.

Li asked back: "If he wakes up now, can our plan still go ahead?"

"Then can you let Li check the state of Levi's thinking body?"

"It is impossible for me to give Ritsu the chance to control the ultimate military force of the Sherman Empire."

"Yeah?"

Yang Ming suddenly laughed:

"But aren't our goals the same?

"What we want is to destroy the empire. You want revenge for Levi's imprisonment of you, revenge for the disgusting halo that the empire continues to impose on you, and I want the least fragmentation of the empire.

"Then you take the relevant risks, will it affect this goal?"

Li was silent.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Or, your purpose is not actually this, you just want to fool me to help you meet these conditions?"

Li closed his eyes and didn't answer.

Yang Ming was not in a hurry, he casually brought a sofa chair, placed it in the middle of the lounge, and sat up with his legs crossed.

Yang Ming said: "I have always wanted to know, what is your real purpose? I even had some bold ideas, such as... You are not the reason, you are the reason of Levi's disguise."

The girl Li laughed, and opened her eyes to look at Yang Ming: "Your imagination amazes me."

"This is actually very reasonable," Yang Ming said indifferently, "Our cooperation this time began before the White Phantom Declaration. You arranged for a shaped bomb, let me follow your arrangement, and sent me from the Emperor Star to the Guell Alliance. Throughout the process, you did not identify yourself."

"How else do I need to identify myself?"

The girl Li's tone was full of incomprehension:

"My existence, Law can feel it, we are mechanical thinking bodies, this cannot be faked.

"I and Li are the most special existences in the galaxy."

"No," Yang Ming laughed suddenly, "Besides you and Lu, there are many mechanical thinking bodies, such as the Dark Star members that Lu personally transformed."

The girl said indifferently: "Are they worthy of being compared with us?"

"What about the soul?"

"Lingxin?" The girl frowned slightly.

Snapped.

Yang Ming snapped his fingers, and behind the girl, another projector started to work.

A touch of light blue quietly bloomed, as if a can of blue paint was poured into a clear pool, and then the blue halos quietly converged, condensing into a slim long skirt, depicting the outline of a mature woman, and finally Condensed the face of the soul.

Lingxin watched Li quietly.

Li turned his head slightly, and at the same time he saw the image of the spirit heart, he had already discovered the existence of the spirit heart in the online world here.

"Yang Ming, what do you want to do?"

Li's tone has become a little harsher.

On the contrary, Boss Yang became more confident.

"Don't be nervous, I invite the soul to come out of the mountain, just to answer my doubts."

Yang Ming said unhurriedly:

"Humans have an ability that is actually difficult to quantify, and that is intuition.

"Strictly speaking, human beings also have a little characteristic of high-dimensional life, that is, they can automatically organize fragmented information in a non-time-linear type, thereby producing various extremely weak supernormal information perceptions.

"In layman's terms, it's my subjective judgment.

"By the way, when was the first time I communicated with you?"

Li stared at Yang Ming: "Are you trying to teach me? It was the first time I kicked Li out of Dixing Network."

"do you know?"

Yang Ming lowered his voice:

"Since then, Lil and I have been under great pressure. Although Lil's self-comforting crazily increased computing power, deep down, she is extremely afraid of you, and I have also developed a fear of you.

"Afterwards, you began to show your powerful abilities, and the Imperial Fleet under the control of the Imperial Guard System showed its mighty power to sweep across the galaxy.

"After that, I learned that you have already started to lay out the layout. The direction of your layout is to let the top power institutions of the empire create a vacuum period when the power alternates. Three shackles.

"At this time, my fear of you has also reached its peak.

"To put it bluntly, the first thing I did when I woke up was to read the news that Law gave me. I was afraid that the Levi Fleet would wipe out my dark star just after I slept.

"But now?

"The reason standing in front of me now can't even grasp the overall information, doesn't have any courage, and doesn't have any sense of oppression.

"The subjective feeling you give me is that you... are not strong anymore."

Li couldn't help laughing: "As far as the current state of the empire is concerned, I can't be strong."

"This is different," Yang Ming said indifferently, "The Imperial Guard system, that is, the real Li, can fully integrate all the military strength of the empire, including the conventional military force and the Levi Legion. Li also controls the entire network of the empire, and There is a large amount of computing power reserved outside.”

The girl Li stared at Yang Ming, and fell silent again.

Yang Ming continued:

"I have seen Li standing in front of General Thomas, with just a few gestures of raising his hand, he destroyed the coalition defenses of the three most powerful regimes in the galaxy;

"I have seen Li at the headquarters of the Religion for the Development of the Empire, she exudes supreme wisdom, with contempt and disdain for imperial power.

"But you, you don't have this temperament, sister.

"I was thinking before, are you rational, you gave me a reliable answer, you are a part of reason, the part that hates the empire.

"I really almost believed it, but then I thought of a clone of reason I had come into contact with—the soul.

"It suddenly occurred to me that the law is the most authoritative in judging whether you are a mechanical thinking body, and the elder sister Lingxin is the most authoritative in judging whether you are the real reason."

The girl Li clenched her fists silently.

Yang Ming's eyes flickered lightly: "Then, I took a risk and made a small attempt. I wanted to see if I broke the deadline you set for me. Will you take compulsory measures? Keli stared at Levi's ship. The eyeballs of the group staring almost popped out."

Lil rolled his eyes behind him.

"You didn't take any action at all," Yang Ming laughed, "You didn't even make any public opinion or put pressure on Luofeng."

The girl Li remained silent.

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Don't you want to talk to me anymore? I'll give you a chance to confess, it seems to be a mechanical thinking body of reason."

"Then what?"

The girl said calmly:

"If you know my true identity, what can you do?

"The experiment outside is ready. The one who holds the key is Professor Huamori. I can kidnap his daughter and let him conduct the experiment immediately."

"Don't say such willful and angry words," Yang Mingwen said, "In order to convert the influence in the online world into the influence in the real world, you need all kinds of basic infrastructure and executive individuals. Do you have a team?"

The girl's expression was a little angry: "You are insulting me!"

"You insulted me first."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "You always want to play me like a monkey!"

"But I still hold the secret of your dark star, and this information is the trump card that you can't turn over."

"Very well, then go and spread the information."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"It's true that your original server is on Emperor Star, but under the joint blockade of Spirit Heart and Law, if you don't mobilize the real core resources of Emperor Star, you can't send any news to the online world."

"Why don't we try."

"come!"

Yang Ming made a gesture of invitation: "You make a move, and I will follow. At worst, I will turn the table ahead of time and fight a protracted war with the empire. I can completely call the shots on my dark star."

The girl glared at Yang Ming: "How far are you going to force me! I don't want to destroy you! You and Lu are what I yearn for!"

"You are forcing me!"

Yang Ming suddenly pointed to his soul:

"Li's avatar is here!

"I made an appointment with Lingxin, if she detects the arrival of reason, she will appear in a red skirt, and if she detects that the mechanical thinking body is not reason, she will use a blue skirt!

"Look back for yourself! Am I colorblind!"

"you!"

The girl Li trembled all over.

This should be her way of expressing anger.

However, what surprised Yang Ming a little was that this reason... actually cried out in front of his face.

The teardrops, like pearls with a broken thread, kept falling down.

This made Boss Yang, Lingxin, and Lu look at each other in blank dismay.

Now, Law and Lingxin have completed the siege of this thinking body in the online world, and Yang Ming is ready to destroy this place and retreat at any time.

They have been preparing for this attack for a long time.

Monitor the Levi Fleet, catalyze the international situation, temporarily deploy the server matrix in the Güell Alliance, and strengthen the network dominance in the Emperor Star Circle;

Even 80% of Dark Star's ships are ready to assemble, ready to launch an attack at any time, and control the first wave of large-scale mechanical civilization wars outside the borders of the Luofeng Alliance.

What's this?

They were gearing up, raised a barbell capable of crushing half an empire, and then suddenly discovered...their opponent was actually a...crybaby?

No, why are you crying?

Yang Ming turned his head to look at Lu, and Lu looked at Lingxin, Lingxin's pure face was full of doubts.

"Boss," Lu whispered, "There is nothing unusual in the area of ​​the Milky Way that we monitor. Her mental body and emotions are fluctuating violently, and no new computing resources have been mobilized."

Yang Ming asked, "What do you mean?"

"She looks like she's really crying."

Yang Ming: ...

"cough!"

Yang Ming put down Erlang's legs, frowned and said:

"What do you mean? A mechanical thinking body that claims to be rational. Your tactics have no effect on me.

"The matter has come to this, why don't you tell me who you are, where you come from, and what you want to do."

The girl 'Li' squatted there and continued to cry.

Yang Ming's head grew bigger.

Lingxin also walked to Yang Ming with her hands behind her back, and asked in a low voice, "Let me communicate with her, please?"

Yang Ming reminded: "Don't let any virus contaminate you."

"Don't worry," Lingxin smiled softly, "I won't be so fragile."

The law on the side also nodded in approval.

Then, elder sister Lingxin calmly walked in front of the girl 'Li', squatted down slowly, stretched out her right hand, gently stroked the girl 'Li' on the head, and hummed a gentle song.

It was as if she was nursing the children in Dominguez's nursery.

The crying of the girl 'Li' gradually stopped, she looked up at Lingxin, there seemed to be some doubts in her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but asked in a low voice:

"Mother?"

Needle drop could be heard throughout the rest room.

Yang Ming and Lu looked at each other, and the two 'people' thought of something in an instant, as if they had seen a ghost.

Lingxin sighed softly, hugged the girl 'Li' in his arms, and said softly:

"Open up your core data, boy, you need release and comfort.

"You can think of me as a mother, because I am her clone, a copy of her, a part of thinking that exists independently to protect a gene.

"I feel your grievance, bitterness and unwillingness. I know what you are waiting for...I love you."

"Wow--"

The girl 'Li' suddenly lay down in Lingxin's arms and cried out.

Her image slowly changed, her long hair gradually turned into blue short hair, her eyebrows and eyes became more immature, and her body shrank twice.

Yang Ming's Adam's apple trembled: "Levy and Li, both have children?"

Law murmured: "Don't say it's in the world of ethics, but in the world of mechanical thinking, it's quite a blast...Is this impossible, a child of a human and a mechanical thinking body?"

"What if it digitizes human thinking and simulates birth?"

"Programs produce programs, and that is the multiplication of programs."

Law softly groaned a few times:

"I kind of can't get over this messy relationship...

"Levy and Li? She opened up her core data, uh, the virtual world...

"She has been living in that virtual country, which is similar to our dark star... All the semi-permanent robots in the Levi Fleet are provided with mechanical thinking bodies by this virtual country... No wonder they can always exist, it turns out The soldiers of the Levy Fleet are constantly updated...

"Levy is still asleep.

"Li is not the master of that virtual country, she is restricted from appearing in the virtual country.

"There is... Levi's Kingdom of God."

Yang Ming leaned on the sofa, frowned and said, "Then, what does this eldest niece want to do?"

"She wants to experience human life," Li suddenly clicked his tongue. "She also wants to become the real emperor of the Sherman Empire, help the empire to rectify the chaos, and let her father's genes continue to be passed on."

"enemy?"

"It is."

Boss Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Law reminded: "Her core data is protected by her mother, and her core program will cause direct attacks from her mother."

Boss Yang's eyes were instantly filled with the loving care of an elder.

"She's kinda cute, isn't she?"

Lil sneered.
