After I became the infinite flow boss

In the northern capital, thick fog covers everything, everyone is trapped in concrete and steel bars, and almost no one can be seen outside.

In the capital of the Western Kingdom, any collective organization no longer exists. Everyone has been broken into pieces and dispersed into the smallest thinking unit. Real contact is gone, and all that is left is the exchange of verbal information online.

In a world where there is only language, the illusory nature of language is fully exploited by everyone, becoming more and more divorced from reality and real things.

In the capital of the South, any specific reality has disappeared. Instead of the various details that constitute reality, only the general state of affairs remains.

Intuitive texts and more intuitive films and television objects occupy people's senses. Without the alternation of day and night, the day is dragged out to an infinite length, and no one can fall asleep for fear of missing more exciting things.

Moreover, this world of information, which invests the creativity and thinking of all mankind, is constantly exciting, and everyone is racking their brains to gain more attention. As a result, data that is more illusory than language also exerts its effect, and any field where it is involved is distorted and rolled up like a snowball.

Idealists and people of conscience cannot stand this situation the most. They feel the greatest pressure ever and see the world in despair with no hope at all.

"...These things are meaningless. I want to see something more exciting. Write it quickly, draw it quickly, and do it for me no matter what!"

"It's meaningless. It won't work if it goes on like this. I don't want to see it. I don't want to know it. Everything is fine. Can you please not show it in my eyes?"

Information dependence and information rejection break out at the same time. At this point, the world has become worse than before the players arrived.

Game time 17:50.

Something that should have been happy about his victory suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What's going on? I shouldn't win in this situation. Why hasn't the game announced a winner yet?"

It was confused, but it quickly thought that this might be the setting of the brain.

"Did He set up a situation where outsiders have no right to win the game? Because I am not a gamer essentially, so even if I conquer all players, I cannot be the winner?"

Impossible, the power of the Lord God is not that stingy. They have always been arrogant. Whoever reaches the winning standard of the game will recognize the victory. Regardless of anything else, they are extremely fair and objective when it comes to the game.

But it thought about it and waited for another two or three hours, but still couldn't wait for any change.

Not to mention the announcement of victory in the game, there was not even a single movement in the entire world.

"According to the rules of the game, whoever wins the game will be eligible to obtain the power of the Lord God related to the game. Therefore, I think we can gain control of the [Brain of the Lord God] through this method."

But what is the situation now.

The location is the largest data center in the world. It incarnates and walks out of the electronic sea with doubts on its face.

Then, it confirmed the situation of all the players again, confirming that everyone was constantly refreshing information, and their consciousness was completely occupied by information controlled by themselves. Even the information that built the physical body was controlled by itself, and its memetic influence reached The highest level in the world.

"But why hasn't there been a change? Have I overlooked something?"

It frowned, and its expression became increasingly ugly.

"It's impossible. Information is already the most essential structural unit of living things. I control the flow of information in the entire game. How can I still not win?"

"Is there something deeper that I haven't noticed? How is it possible? I've used the history of so many civilizations as a reference, but I haven't found anything deeper. It's already at the bottom so far, and it's impossible to dig any more. !”

It muttered to itself and walked up and down the corridor of the research room several times. Various human forms such as panic, nervousness, and anger are revealed on its body. It is obviously not the original it. Unknowingly, it has also been penetrated into human nature, but its strength and power have not changed, and it has been unable to realize it for a long time. That's all.

At 23:12, the game time, players all over the world were awake, and a large number of players committed suicide during this period.

"Did they commit suicide? There's nothing you can do about it. Even if I can control the flow of information, I can't control my will."

It sat down and looked sideways at the data screen.

"I heard that no matter what existence it is, even the Lord God cannot control the will."

This is the only thing that the Almighty cannot do, and the only thing that troubles Him.

"But I don't believe it. I think He must be able to do it."

It shook its head and saw that the game time had reached midnight the next day. There was still no change in the outside world. There was only a constant flow of information. Human beings had almost become a racecourse of information, only passive acceptance and passive re-creation.

From the material assembly line to the information assembly line, complete informatization has been almost achieved.

People no longer care about real affairs and forget about food and sleep. People who keep saying they no longer read information are still reading information, and the waterfall of content reaches no bottom line.

"Strange...strange."

It suddenly hit the table with a ferocious expression.

"I must have forgotten something!"

"Are the gods outside causing trouble? But they just appeared suddenly. The thunder was loud and the rain was light, so it had no impact at all."

It was monitoring them all the time, but it only saw them staying where they were, always silent, and not looking at the humans asking for help. They were no different from the original statues of gods.

"They are things in the past, and I control the 'now'. In theory, I have reached the victory condition of the game. Unless the victory condition also requires clearing out all other information, leaving only the information I control, otherwise..."

No, all current information comes from the past, there is no gratuitous information.

"No, no, why am I thinking more and more confused? Have I really not reached the winning conditions of this game? What else do I need to do to win?"

It frowned and suddenly thought of a way.

"Control all players to commit suicide?"

This is indeed a good method, but it is not very realistic, because even if the human spirit wants to commit suicide, the human body will resist, and the human soul will resist strongly.

Previously, the Lord God set a troublesome rule in the infinite world [the soul cannot be destroyed unless a certain will strongly demands], which further limits its means.

"I can throw out a lot of messages urging death to make them want to die, but the condition of 'strongly demanding' is not easy to achieve. The Lord God is also tough. Setting such a rule completely disrespects spiritual freedom. Power is powerful. You can do anything.”

It gritted its teeth, a little hesitant about this, and was afraid that this method would be counterproductive. Because the concept of "death" also carries an extremely powerful meme, it is a primitive concept that all living things are afraid of. In a sense, in the face of "death", anything else will be meaningless, because "death" will end everything.

"But it won't work if I continue like this. I have to take action. No matter what, doing it is better than not doing it."

It turned over the thoughts in its mind and quickly decided to try a few methods first. However, just when it was about to take action, something happened.

At 1:23 in the game time, some of the players became "bored".

Information dependence and information rejection are secondary. Under the intense bombardment of information, someone felt "bored" for the first time, and the feeling she expressed quickly spread throughout the Internet.

"I'm tired and want to sleep. How long have I stayed up? Huh? It's already the second day?"

"How could this happen? I feel like it's only been a few minutes."

"That's it, I'm tired of it. It's boring no matter how much I watch. Netizens can't do anything anymore. It's boring."

"It's all repetitive routines. Who cares about this kind of routine! Look down on me! Come up with some innovations. Even if you don't innovate, you have to come up with something fresh."

"How can I do that? There is a limit to personal creation. It's still not as interesting as large-scale investment. When will the fog outside lift? I want to watch a big-investment movie. If there are more people, it will at least be more lively."

It read thousands of similar messages and was a little shocked, how could it happen so quickly.

The content of the information world is a product of the human spirit. To be more precise, these contents are mostly products processed by humans based on real-life experience. Content production cut off from reality is like water without a source, which will dry up sooner or later.

Of course it knew this, but it didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"No, it doesn't matter. I control their bodies through information, and their neural networks are still under my control. Even if they are temporarily tired of the information world, they cannot escape my control, and everything is relaxed. Youdu, since they need real life, I can let them live for a while..."

"Wait," thinking of this, it suddenly thought of another key point, "Since they are tired, let them get tired of it. A thing will feel meaningful the first time it is seen, and it will feel meaningful the second time. When you see it, the meaning becomes thin, and after seeing it many times, it becomes meaningless.”

By trapping them in this closed information loop, the end result is that they will be completely surrounded by "meaninglessness". Nothing they look at is meaningful, nothing they do is meaningful, but they keep asking where the meaning is. The less they have nothing, the more they pursue what they want. .

The will, on the other hand, cannot stand the state of meaninglessness. Here, someone has said that the way to evaluate whether the will is strong is to test how long a person can endure a meaningless state.

"In other words, their will will be destroyed to the maximum extent in this information closed loop. Then, after that, if I control them all to commit suicide, it won't be a big problem."

As he spoke, it showed a satisfied smile.

I think it would be more beneficial to me to let them go on like this.

Unexpectedly, a voice from another place said coldly after confirming that it had chosen this approach.

"It's better to control them and kill each other."
