Chapter 242 NO.00f1: Gathering clues and the committee
Jiang Zhou walked to the corpse and squatted slowly.
The opponent's head was equipped with subcutaneous armor, so although the previous shot was deadly enough, it did not break it to the point where it could not be recognized.
For this reason, Jiang Zhou was able to see the implant of the suspected biological protein chip "Pegasus".
Yes...
Slightly pushing away some fragments of subcutaneous armor and skull to expose the wound, Jiang Zhou further confirmed that the group of flying wing-shaped colloid organs was "Pegasus".
In this way, some previous doubts were explained.
Jiang Zhou thought.
Before the battle, Jim noticed that the symptom of the opponent's cyberpsychosis was a weak self-awareness when observing the opponent's representational topology. Before the target was activated, its intention could not be observed.
Although there are many diseases that can cause similar phenomena, the opponent's performance is most similar to the state of "zombie man".
And Jiang Zhou knows that there are two ways to enter the state of "zombie man".
The first is to perform a transformation operation on "zombie slaves".
Through trimming and adjustment of the frontal cortex, superior parietal lobule and left angular gyrus, and the layout of a series of nanotubes. Finally, the self-consciousness of the transformed person is completely erased, making him a slave at the disposal of others. The precision of the operation will determine the complexity of the work that the zombie slave can complete - ranging from the lowest level of sex dolls who can only simply cater to automatic programming wetware that can write beautiful code.
This technology became popular during the Second Corporate War, and "zombies" with various functions were widely used by various companies. It was not completely banned until the passage of the "Biological Rights Protection Act", but until now, at least more than two million transformed zombies are still circulating on the black market.
The second is the depth 3 adjustment and transformation of the Theseus path, the implantation of "Pegasus".
Unlike the former, the "zombie state" of the Pegasus implanter is not irreversible. Adjusters can choose to enter or exit this state freely, and during the period of becoming a "zombie", their self-consciousness can also feel everything around them, but they have temporarily lost control of their bodies.
Jiang Zhou originally thought that the other party was out of control due to the former transformation, but he didn't expect it to be the latter.
"Speaking of which..."
Tartarus, Xinyuanyu Office.
Jiang Zhou, who was carefully looking through the relevant information, suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Is the printing permission of Pegasus, which is adjusted and transformed, circulating a lot in the civilian market?"
Fanny, who was working at the desk, also raised her head when she heard this. She looked at Jiang Zhou and answered helplessly:
"How is it possible? This is the printing permission of Depth 3, and it also involves the taboo of the 'Theseus Path'... Even in Tartarus, there are not many reserves in the company's 'authority library'. If the Abyss Wanderer who dives and salvages can bring back a Pegasus, it will definitely be a merit that can be rewarded."
Jiang Zhou nodded to this answer and stood up from the head-exploded corpse.
If even a company like Pluto Deep Dive doesn't have too many "Pegasus" in stock, then how could a low-ranking gang like the Classic Coffee Gang install this thing on their thugs?
So, one scattered clue after another began to connect in Jiang Zhou's mind and gradually took shape.
During the Second Corporate War, the Dionysus Sect separated from the Bliss Sect. The latter became one of the current Olympus gods, the Bacchus Sect. The former insisted that a human god was bred in the Abyss Dark Web. The prayers to the human god really made them obtain the meme virus called "Carnival".
This meme virus is activated by a special picture, which can instantly transform church believers from ordinary people with no combat experience into cold-blooded killing machines that even veterans of hundreds of battles will be terrified of.
Then, the Dionysus Sect merged with the Holy Trinity Church. They believed that the human god bred in the Abyss Dark Web was the Son of the Holy Trinity...that is, Jiang Zhou himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but frown.
If he just raised his name as a tiger flag, it would be nothing. As a "historical figure", he would not think that it was an infringement of his reputation and he would not charge copyright fees.
But judging from the final outcome after the merger of the Dionysian Sect and the Holy Trinity, they probably really did something extraordinary...
The arbitrator of the Olympus Order, the most mysterious and powerful God King Jupiter, has only used his doomsday weapon "Great Thunder" three times: once when Juno Finance and the gods attacked the top of Olympus and attempted to usurp the throne of the God King, he used the Great Thunder to annihilate the joint forces of the gods;
The other time was when Neptune Transportation wanted to disrupt the self-proliferating predator drones in the sky and the ocean when the war was unfavorable, and guide them to the major resettlement areas to perish together. And Jupiter's Great Thunder sank half of the headquarters of Neptune Transportation, a giant floating island called "Atlantis", as a punishment.
The third time was after the Holy Trinity and the Dionysian sect merged. The Thunder completely wiped the Phoenix Islands, the seat of their church, off the map.
Although the official records on this matter are very vague, there is no doubt that the threats posed by those two churches are at least on the same level as the previous two.
So here comes the question - what kind of big job did the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Dionysian sect do that is worthy of Jupiter taking direct action to wipe out an entire archipelago?
According to the current information, Jiang Zhou can only temporarily believe that the "God of Humanity" they believe in really exists and may be inextricably linked to Janus.
Of course, he didn't think that the "Holy Son" in the Book of Revelation really referred to him - after all, his body was still living incognito and lingering in Tartarus. He really doesn't have the ability to do anything worthy of the God King's wrath.
Then, focus on the present...
Jiang Zhou looked at the corpse.
According to the information he received, not long ago, cyberpsychosis began to break out frequently underground in the Nord settlement area. Referring to what I heard from Black Falcon-111 before, the common characteristic of those cyberpsychotic patients is that they painted graffiti on some cruel theme before the onset of the disease.
This is very consistent with the pattern of meme virus "carnival" attacks.
This, coupled with the fact that Chen Wang said earlier that the cyber madman's fever pattern is very familiar. Jiang Zhou was very suspicious that this series of events was the work of the remnants of the Dionysian sect.
Speaking of which, those people worshiped themselves as the "human god and holy son" they worshiped. If you really find the mastermind behind the scenes and take the initiative to reveal your identity, I don’t know if it will work...
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou could not help but think of a sentence:
"I, Jiang Zhou, make money."
He couldn't help but shook his head.
On the other hand, the implant "Pegasus" found in the cyber madman's brain further verified his conjecture-you know, the Holy Trinity Church is inextricably linked to the path to ascension, Theseus. contact. I'm afraid they are the only ones who can so generously take out the "Pegasus" and install it on small characters like the Classic Coffee Gang.
I have to talk to Anthony again...
You have to use tougher methods to make him vomit out everything he knows.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou reloaded a few bullets into the "Persuader" in his hand.
Using the "Alice Illusion" to create fear, one's own ability to interrogate and extract confessions may be much more powerful than those of darkened mind adjusters.
However, before he could take a few steps toward the Dark Blue Zone Bar, the armed flying car that had rushed over for reinforcements had already hovered above him.
"Put down your weapons! Put your hands on your head and squat down. Squat down!"
Along with a stern warning sound, several laser-aimed red dots appeared on his body. Jiang Zhou had no doubt that once he showed any intention of resisting, he would be instantly beaten to ashes by the heavy firepower of the vehicle.
[Chen Wan, can you help me right now? 】
Jiang Zhou asked for help on the communication channel.
[Don’t worry, Master, these people won’t do anything to you. But don’t talk to me anymore. If they discover my existence, I will be the unlucky one.】
Chen Wan replied in the channel.
Jiang Zhou raised his head when he heard this.
The logo on the armed speeder is a pattern that I am very familiar with - it is an equidistant projection of a world map centered on the North Pole, supported by a garland of crossed olive branches. But compared with the symbol Jiang Zhou was familiar with, the original concentric circle grid was now broken. In addition, many places on the world map are marked as riddled with holes and devastated to symbolize pollution by bad soil.
This is a broken United Nations symbol. Nowadays, what bears this symbol is the ultimate bottom line for human society to be maintained. It also symbolizes the last remaining organization of the former coalition government——
Anthroposophical Ethics Monitoring Committee.
