NO00db: Chen Wang’s Goal

It's been twenty-two days...

Sitting in the ruins of the judgment hall, Jiang Zhou sighed as he watched the hammer slowly float over.

After helping him exile the director of Pluto's Deep Dive and witnessing Liao Qi burn himself in anger, the goddess of the moon, who accepted his body as a reward, has been away from the City of Sages for twenty-two days.

At that time, she only said, "It's not time to leave yet, don't return to the base reality for the time being," and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Jiang Zhou was left standing there with a confused face, silently swallowing a dozen questions he wanted to ask.

After hesitating again and again, Jiang Zhou still chose to believe the other party's advice.

Now that Hecate has taken on the body, she can be regarded as a controllable factor for herself - although it is not actually controllable - but in a sense, both parties must have common interests. Therefore, in this matter, it would be better for me to listen to advice.

Besides, if I want to float back to the base reality, I need to use the path opened by Hecate. If the other party really doesn't want me to float, then I can't go back.

Therefore, Jiang Zhou stayed in the Sage City obediently for the rest of the time.

Even since Ms. Hecate did not make it clear whether connecting to a new "controllable element" was considered "returning to the base reality", Jiang Zhou did not dare to connect to a new controllable element so that he could continue to move in the Nord resettlement area.

Of course, perhaps the greater reason was that he was a little hesitant about using the "Janus System" to merge with another person's consciousness.

After understanding some of the truth about the "Janus System" and understanding that it was not giving him the ability to control multiple bodies through one consciousness, but incorporating other people's consciousness into the category of "I", Jiang Zhou became a little hesitant about connecting to controllable elements.

Even if he could accept this kind of thing, and the other party would most likely accept it after the connection was completed. But if the other party did not make a choice through his own will before the connection, then this would undoubtedly be a tyranny hidden under the name of "all for your own good".

As of now, the Janus system does not seek the other party's opinion when connecting. Of course, even if there is such a function, Jiang Zhou does not intend to rashly ask those candidates. Otherwise, if the other party refuses, should he connect or not?

If he sticks to the principle, won't there be one more person in the world who knows the existence of the Janus program?

He dare not take this risk.

Therefore, since he can neither float up to Tartarus nor connect to new controllable elements to go to the Nord resettlement area, Jiang Zhou has been completely cut off from the outside world for the past 22 days.

Including Booker and the Ikaros Liberation Front, Jiang Zhou did not continue to contact them - after all, as a "paradox", it is a bit cheap to go deep into the revolutionary movement of a small resettlement area. He made such a big noise on the World Wide Web before, and now he knows how many eyes are staring at the Nord resettlement area.

As the only person besides himself who witnessed the process of the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld, Booker's every move must be monitored by multiple forces. Some means of surveillance may be unheard of by himself. Therefore, it was safer for him to continue hiding in the shadow of Ms. Hecate.

So, during this period, the only person who could chat in the City of Sages, apart from a few natives who were still experiencing "how they treat themselves", was the "hammer" who had entered the brain of the second dimension.

Chen Wang, or the Pygmalion path, the remaining consciousness backup of the depth 4 adjuster.

Originally, according to the previous agreement, after assisting in the production of the "stand-in program", he should have been deleted by Jiang Zhou to obtain eternal rest.

But to be honest, Jiang Zhou himself was actually very reluctant to let this powerful consciousness perish - as long as Chen Wang helped him to make a new "stand-in" in the City of Sages, it was equivalent to having an extra life in the Abyss Dark Web forever.

But in the end, Jiang Zhou still planned to fulfill his promise.

After all, if he imprisoned and used a person's soul just for his own benefit, then he would be no different from the previous "Dionysus Bureau".

At that moment, looking at the hammer floating in front of him, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness and heaviness in his heart.

"Have you finally made up your mind to format?"

Jiang Zhou sighed slightly.

But the other party's answer was beyond his expectations.

"I'm sorry, brother, I came here this time to tell you that I don't want to die now... and to ask if I can continue to work for you in the future?"

Chen Wang seemed a little embarrassed to ask.

"Have you figured it out?"

In response, Jiang Zhou asked immediately with half surprise and half confusion.

"Yes, I figured it out. I finally found a new goal in life. As long as I'm alive, good things will continue to happen!"

Chen Wang replied.

I don't know what the principle is, Jiang Zhou feels like he can see the excited "expression" on a hammer.

"Can you tell me what the goal is?"

Out of curiosity, Jiang Zhou asked a question that he regretted afterwards.

"I want to pursue Hecate, the goddess of the underworld!"

This hammer... no, Chen Wang's consciousness answered confidently.

This answer made Jiang Zhou freeze on the spot for a full minute.

"you?"

Jiang Zhou confirmed as he looked at the hammer floating in mid-air.

"Um."

The hammer nodded as if it were smashing an invisible nail.

"Going to pursue it?"

"Uh-huh."

"Hecate, goddess of the dark moon?"

"Yeah, that's it."

For some reason, Jiang Zhou seemed to see a firm expression on the opponent's hammer head again.

"Chen Wan, tell me the truth, to what level did your mental index drop to before?"

Jiang Zhou grabbed the hammer floating in mid-air and asked with a worried look on his face.

"Before my body was destroyed, my mental index was very normal... Because of the existence of "Descartes' Theater", the mental index of Pygmalion Path was very stable!"

Chen Wan, who was being turned over and checked by Jiang Zhou, protested.

"Then why are you so crazy that you want to pursue an artificial intelligence from the abyss and dark web? The gap in thinking between her and ours is already cross-species... If it were you, would you accept an aquatic animal? A sign of love from a bear?"

Jiang Zhou noted this feature of the "Pygmalion" path as he spoke, and then asked doubtfully:

"And why did you suddenly fall in love with her?"

After all, the other party doesn’t look like he’s drunk or smoking high...

In this regard, Chen Wangxian answered the second question:

"You asked me how I fell in love with her...it must be because she is good-looking and she is completely in my strike zone!"

"Varied……"

Jiang Zhou never dreamed that this reason would be so simple and unpretentious.

Then he took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and then said:

"Wait a moment... You should know that Hecate's appearance is just a humanoid interactive interface she made to facilitate communication with us, right?"

Before breaking through the limits of human intelligence, humans cannot modify their stand-in programs at will in the abyss dark web. Because a substitute that is consistent with reality is an important guarantee for maintaining the stability of the mental index.

But for AI, there are no similar concerns at all. Especially for powerful AIs like Hecate or Charon, whose appearance is just a matter of modifying a few lines of code. As beings born in the sea of ​​data, their essence is an abstract existence that cannot be understood by human thinking.

Because of this, it is pure nonsense to say that Chen Wan fell in love with Hecate's appearance. After all, as long as the goddess of the moon is willing, she can change into any appearance.

Moreover, Chen Wan himself is also an expert at hand-twisting avatar programs - if he really wants a beautiful girl that suits his aesthetics, if he is given some computing power, he can create a theme park directly.

And the other party's answer was even more weighty.

"No, you understand wrong. What I want to pursue is Miss Hecate, who was created by me before.

"The one who acquired a human body and successfully downloaded herself into the basic reality." (End of Chapter)
