Age of the Mist

Chapter 1253 Feelings are real, hearts are fake

He sits from dawn to dusk, from sunrise to sunset.

He remained motionless and silent, as if he wanted to carve the real world deeply into his own soul.

He sees this scene so deep, so deep, that even the space of his mind has become such a scene, the inside and outside are the same.

After a long time, he whispered, "Sorry."

"You don't need to apologize." Shi Tiexin came to him: "When you hit me, you hit yourself. Who hasn't thought about slapping yourself hard?"

Lao Liu laughed at himself: "I'm more than ten years older than you, but I didn't expect to be enlightened by you instead. How did you manage to be so calm and sober? Is it because of ten rings breaking sharp?"

"Cause and effect are reversed. I am not strong because of ten rounds of broken sharpness, but ten rounds of broken sharpness because of strength." Shi Tiexin knelt down beside him, and looked at the desolate and decadent world with him: "A man is a piece of iron. It has to be repeatedly calcined, beaten, and then soaked in ice water to suffocate in order to truly grow."

Old Six nodded, but did not speak.

Shi Tiexin suddenly touched him with his elbow: "This is the first time I shed tears with real eyes, how does it feel?"

Lao Liu sighed and said: "It's not good, it's not bad. It took me a long time to recall just now. I have recalled everything from meeting her to the present, every bit and every drop, many times. Even if The reality is already in front of me, but I still find it hard to believe that Xiaoling is a piece of code. She is so vivid and sincere, how can such strong feelings be fake?"

Shi meditated: "If you firmly believe that she has feelings, it means two things."

"First, she is a subroutine that operates independently and is not directly interfered by the general program. This is a sign. Remember when we chased the car, the fake and the driver stopped running immediately, but Xiaoling was still there .”

"I don't think there is any reason for the general program of the virtual world to let you meet and give you the opportunity to detect any clues. If I were the general program, I would let her stop running the moment she was out of public view, and shut down the offline .But in fact, it’s not straightforward to be sloppy.”

"Based on this calculation, Xiao Ling is most likely an independent program. It is like some stubborn programs in the computer. They have already clicked to quit, but they still lurk in the background, eating up computing power and occupying the memory. Until the system takes action to clear the memory It's completely closed."

Hearing this, the sixth son said dully, "Maybe."

Shi went on to say: "Secondly, she should be a fairly advanced artificial intelligence, her mind is fake, and her feelings are real."

Hearing this sentence, Lao Liu sighed: "Feelings are real, but hearts are fake? I can't tell what is real and what is fake."

Someone Shi patted him on the shoulder: "I think you still have to think on the bright side. First of all, it's nothing to like a virtual wife. Who hasn't fallen in love with a paper man?"

The sixth child looked up: "Have you ever liked it?"

Someone Shi: "No."

Sixth child: "Zhuo!"

Shi: "So you complete my monotonous life! And you think, now you don't have to worry about your wife's safety at all. She doesn't have a biological structure, so she doesn't have a biological death. We don't have to be afraid of her anymore After being washed down into the corruption pool, as long as you find her program, unplug her hard drive, and restart it, your wife can be resurrected intact. Are you happy?"

Unhappy?
The sixth child is still happy.

He remembered an old anime in which there was a character named Zuosuke.In the past, fans all called him the second assistant, and they all felt that this kid was too pretentious and pan-secondary.But at this moment, the sixth son felt that the second assistant was no different at all.People watch him two, just because people don't bear his pain.

A certain bandit eye on the second floor of Kangmi made sense: people will not understand each other if they have not experienced the same pain.

Lao Liu has three loves in his heart: love for his wife, love for life, and love for the world.

Now, the vast majority of these three loves have turned into illusions, which made him painful and lost.

If there is a last bit of remnant, it is the almost destroyed world in front of me.

If there is a last bit of truth, it is the brain that was held in the hatching tank, and the countless brains in vats.

"This is the first time I cry with my own eyes, and it will also be the last time." Lao Liu stood up: "There is no time to be depressed, and there is a whole world waiting for me to save."

He had to do something, something meaningful, to keep himself from drowning in emptiness.

"Then go save it." Shi Tiexin encouraged: "Do whatever you want, and I will always support you. But then again, this enemy is too mysterious. I have a great confusion, and I have never figured it out: the enemy Why compile such a virtual world? Why run an independent program like Xiaoling? Don’t those countless companion dummies consume resources and pay electricity bills?”

"Why does the enemy spend money and resources to play house with you?"

"Why would the enemy build such a nearly perfect virtual world?"

"What can the enemy get in return from you, from everyone?"

"Do you have a clue?"

Lao Liu frowned and shook his head: "No. It seems that we still don't know anything about the enemy, and we need a deeper understanding. The enemy is so perverted, I don't believe that everyone is with him, there must be people who oppose him and resist him. If we can connect with the rebels, we can get a lot of information immediately."

Shi Tiexin: "It makes sense. Assuming that the rebels really exist, then the most suitable opportunity for them to come out is...now."

He looked up at the scarlet cloud, which was the metal-rich cloud created after the super explosion, a large amount of crustal material was ejected into the stratosphere.

These clouds have a large area, wide coverage, and high reflectivity. Except for the detection method of directional detection of spiritual bright spots, these clouds have good shielding ability for other detection equipment.

Coupled with the shock and earthquake caused by the big explosion, the enemy's various facilities will inevitably be disrupted.If someone Shi is a rebel, if he doesn't fight now, when will he wait?

Coincidentally, at this moment, under the dim sunset, more than a hundred kilometers away, suddenly there was a blaze rising into the sky.

The sixth child immediately opened his eyes and watched carefully.

"It was an explosion, very violent, and very regular. The chain of explosions superimposed on each other is definitely not an accident." Lao Liutian's eyes dilated, his sight penetrated the desolate land, and he saw more things.

"There was a convoy coming out of a large factory area, panicked."

"The composition of the vehicle is complex. Large trucks, armored vehicles, and motorcycles are mixed together. They are all equipment operated by human bodies. They look old and damaged. It should be due to repeated damage and maintenance."

"There is a machine chasing after it, not humanoid."

"The two sides are chasing and exchanging fire, and the speed is very fast and intense."

With quick mental calculations, the most likely routes were deduced, and they were highlighted in the sky's eye view.

"According to the calculation of the route, the convoy will cut across from a place 6 kilometers away from us obliquely in [-] minutes." Lao Liu turned his eyes and focused on a few places that are convenient for setting up an ambush. Sure enough, he found something: " Look, there's an ambush there, and a dozen or so units are setting up weapons."

The mind-twisting magic eye opens, and the vision of the mind expands.

Although the observation range of the Mind-Twisting Demon Eye is not as wide as that of the Mind-Guarding Sky Eye, it is not a densely populated space city either.The vast land is unobstructed, and some signals can still be discerned even at a long distance.

The old sixth looked moved: "There are spiritual signals, they are human beings, and these are the rebels! You are really good at predicting things, they really acted at this moment!"

Lao Liu's heart was excited, he really needed to be in contact with real human beings.He urgently needs to know the situation in the real world, and more importantly, he needs information about the enemy.The existence of the rebel army is the best information channel for him.

But this time, instead of being impulsive, he asked Shi Tiexin for advice: "What do you think?"

"I think it's better for me to operate this time." Shi Tiexin opened his mind and took control of his body.He raised his mechanical left arm, lowered the hood of his pitch-black robe, and stared at the approaching convoy with his faint eyes under the screen: "I'll give you a chance to observe how I use superpowers."

Phew, the figure disappeared.

He didn't use telekinesis, the pure field technology pushed the mechanical body to fly close to the ground, without leaving any bright spots of spiritual energy in the Shenxiao satellite.

far away.

Under the sky and in the wilderness, cruel pursuits are taking place.

On the large truck at the head of the convoy, a woman was frantically stepping on the switch.Her hair was messy, her skin was dark, she was dirty all over, and the arms exposed under the sleeves were two black mechanical arms.I don't know if I was hit by a bullet just now, causing electric sparks to flash on the surface of the robotic arm from time to time, but the pair of robotic arms are still holding the steering wheel firmly.

The complicated visor covered the area where the bridge of the nose was down, and six finger-thick breathing plugs were arranged opposite the cheeks, providing her with rare oxygen.A hideous scar extended from her forehead to under the visor. Where the scar passed, her left eye had been completely replaced with a scarlet mechanical prosthetic eye.

But this does not prevent her eyes from shooting a sharp and firm light.

"Quick, quick, quicker!"

At the end of the switch, the truck raced across the wasteland at a speed of 170 kilometers per hour.This is not a paved road. Even though the prosthetic eyes are assisting in analyzing the route and correcting the posture of the body all the time, this large truck is still in danger.If you are not careful, you will be killed in a car crash.

But the female driver did not have any hesitation or fear, and rampaged like a beast.

She can die, but she must return the key materials that she has finally won back to the base.

During the mad rush, she suddenly blew the whistle three times, and everyone in the convoy behind cheered up, because this meant that they were about to reach the ambush point.

　As far as my update is concerned, there will be ghosts if there is fire (cover your face and laugh and cry)
