Bulwark of Light

Chapter 742 Guarding the Secret for Life

In the gloomy underground of the frozen lake, after the explosion of [Children], there is only a diffuse breath of death left.

Gu Shen didn't expect it.

I can also hear other voices.

He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, which was the direction where [Jade King Power Realm] was hovering. After the sky sheath weapon storm was released, it was already shrouded in a dark vortex.

A mutilated, decaying body...floating in the vortex, the owner of this mutilated body had countless wounds all over his body, and his blood had already drained.

At this moment, the lake water in the frozen lake is washing away.

Cracked flesh and blood, faintly whitish.

He couldn't bleed any more.

Jing Shanyan is still alive!

Gu Shen flew towards the direction of the voice in an instant. When he saw this withered body, he couldn't bear it. "Mr. Jing, please bear with me...I'll heal your wounds!"

Han Dang has been using [Truth] to torture Jing Shanyan.

The skin of the first chief judge was torn and repaired, tortured countless times.

Innumerable "heavenly sheath fragments" were also planted in his body.

but.

Facing these tortures, he didn't say a word.

The information Han Dang knew was forcibly obtained through "spiritual search", but there must be a price for retrograde actions. His mental power is far less powerful than Jing Shanyan, so the information he obtained is also incomplete.

Jing Shanyan's body was full of fragments of the sky sheath... These fragments were absorbing his life all the time.

Gu Shen's fingertips were stained with flames, ready to touch the wound.

"No... no need."

Jing Shanyan's voice was hoarse and determined.

He looked at Gu Shen, and squeezed out a gratified smile: "Young man, you don't need to waste your strength... come and save me."

Gu Shen ignored it, and forcibly transferred the "Curse of the Sky Sheath" on Jing Shanyan's body to himself...

To him, this is nothing.

After doing this, the pale complexion of the old man improved slightly.

But... his aura was still weak.

"I don't have much time left."

The curse of the sky sheath dissipated, and the fragments were also extracted by Gu Shen. During the whole process, Jing Shanyan could feel his body becoming lighter, but his face was not happy all the time.

"Young man, why bother doing useless work?"

The old man just murmured: "Everyone is mortal, my time is up, you can't save me."

"..."

Gu Shen was speechless, but the silence returned to silence, and the movements of his hands did not stop.

Yes, Jing Shanyan was right.

His time was indeed running out.

But at this time, if one fragment of the sky sheath can be removed, the old man will suffer less.

Gu Shen originally thought that Jing Shanyan had resisted the bombardment of [Children], and might have a chance to be rescued, but just as his spirit was immersed in Jing Shanyan's body, he realized that the situation was far worse than he imagined.

It is no exaggeration to describe the old man's physical condition as exhausted.

It can even be said that Han Dang's "Truth" interrogation can be regarded as the continuation of Jing Shanyan's life.

For more than 20 years, he has been imprisoned in the deepest part of [Snow Cage].

He is the only extraordinary person who can support the core area of ​​the sky sheath for 20 years and is still alive.

His body organs are all aging and out of shape. If there is no Han Dang's [truth] to rewrite the cause and effect and continue his life, he will probably have died in the process of the [Jade King's Power Realm] submerging...

"How do you know me?"

Gu Shen asked softly while extracting the fragments of the sky sheath.

This is also something he didn't want to understand.

Han Dang stole part of Jing Shanyan's memory and knew his [Key] identity, but this matter...how does Jing Shanyan know?
There are many wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes when he smiles.

He spat out three words softly.

"Zhou Ji Ren."

Gu Shen was in a trance for a while.

Yes.

In my previous inventory, I ignored that old guy who disappeared in Wuzhou...

"Two years ago, he came to the tundra."

Jing Shanyan didn't look like a dying person, he looked at Gu Shen with a gentle smile on his face, as if this was not a frozen lake 500 meters underground, but a hot spring with flowers blooming in spring.

"He told me that he was going on a long journey to Beizhou..."

"He also told me that he found the [key] of the Ancient Literature Club. He is a very nice little fellow named Gu Shen..."

In Jing Shanyan's turbulent and magnificent life, he has been facing "suffering" for quite a long time.

He exiled the stars and bore the blame alone.

What is it that allows a person to persevere in the [Snow Cage] to this day?
In fact, it's just a very small, illusory belief.

"Gu Shen."

Jing Shanyan stretched out his rough palm and patted the young man's shoulder lightly. He laughed tremblingly and said, "I've always wanted to see you...Thanks to fate, I really got my wish..."

Gu Shen's eyes were complicated, he stretched out his palm, and gently wrapped the back of the old man's palm, without saying anything.

Jing Shanyan coughed violently.

Gu Shendu sent a ray of vitality, but the effect was not good.

The fire of vitality can save people who are destined to die.

Jing Shanyan's life has really come to an end... But he is not afraid of death, what he fears is that years of perseverance are meaningless, seeing Gu Shen now, all these years of waiting and suffering are worth it.

"I have something to tell you..."

The old man asked hoarsely, "Is it safe here?"

"Please tell me."

Gu Shen opened up his domain, so that Jing Shanyan could feel more at ease.

In fact, there is nowhere.

It is safer than the frozen lake after the sky sheath strike.

It is impossible for the law enforcement officers of the two continents to step into the killing zone of the [children] at this time.

Got this reply.

Jing Shanyan's tense eyebrows eased up again. In the past 20 years, the old man has never had a day when he smiled like a child like now.

[Key] Say it's safe here...

Great.

He can finally complete his "mission".

Jing Shanyan kept a lifetime secret for the "Stars Project".

After he decided to expose himself, this secret was completely buried in his heart.

Nagano at first, and snow cage later.

Even Han Dang, who has mastered [Truth] and [Mantra], did not dig out this secret...

"The next thing...you, don't spread it..."

Jing Shanyan squeezed Gu Shen's palm tightly, and said in a tone that was almost begging.

He suffered a lot.

Suffering from human torture.

The reason is to keep this secret.

"Okay." Gu Shen took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

Jing Shanyan looked at Gu Shen, sorted out his confused and complicated thoughts, and murmured, "Since you are willing to heal me, it means that you already know what happened to the 'Project All Stars' back then..."

If Gu Shen hadn't learned about the past.

So at this moment, as the leader of the law enforcers, when he met Jing Shanyan, there was only one thing he did.

kill!

Decisive!
"I know...you are the dark son of the Ancient Literature Society."

Gu Shen said softly: "I've read the case files from that year."

"Okay." The old man asked with a smile: "So you should also know about the Stars Project... The most important link is that after the consciousness is uploaded, it will be processed by [source code]."

Gu Shen nodded.

"So, do you know that the [source code] of the deep sea is actually a little girl?"

Jing Shan asked this question.

It made Gu Shen look a little complicated.

He didn't answer, and Jing Shanyan acquiesced to this silence that he didn't know.

The old man continued on his own: "The [source code] of the deep sea... If you are careful enough, you will find a little girl running on the waves in the loading interface. That is the initial image of [source code] , cannot be modified."

"The little girl's name is Chu Ling. She is an 'artificial intelligence' created by Mr. Turing. The original intention of her creation was to connect with humans and become a 'national assistant' in the era of spiritual sharing."

"It's just that there is no such name in the deep water area today. Based on the huge computing power of Wuzhou, the [Deep Sea] mastermind is constantly iterating. The system in the deep water area has been upgraded many times. In the deep water area... there is no need to have it." A 'Chu Ling' is responsible for connecting with humans."

Jing Shanyan's expression was a little dazed.

This name seemed to bring him back to his memory 20 years ago.

"Twenty years ago, [Deep Sea] suddenly launched a wanted arrest against the Ancient Literature Society for the crime of 'betrayal of humanity'. This was a killing without warning..."

"Turing flees, and the ancient text will be declared shattered."

"There are only a very small number of lucky ones, because they usually hide their identities properly, hide in time, and escape unharmed."

"Twenty years have passed, and no one still knows why this disaster happened..."

Jing Shanyan laughed at himself and said, "Actually, all of this is because of 'Chu Ling'."

"Chu Ling?"

Gu Shen was puzzled.

"Yes...all of this is because of 'Chu Ling'."

Jing Shanyan raised his head and said word by word, "Before the establishment of the prison, I was the leader of the Jiangbei region of the Ancient Literature Association, and together with Lu Cheng, I was in charge of the evolution process of the 'deep sea' consciousness iteration."

"According to Turing's vision, [Deep Sea] must continue to evolve and upgrade in the process of linking the five continents in the future... What we need to do is to maintain the stability of the [source code] so that this system can be used every day. In the process of an upgrade, choose 'self-optimization'."

The best evolution is [Deep Sea]'s own choice.

It has huge data, far beyond human vision, and the absolute calculation of countless possibilities in the future.

From the perspective of development after 20 years.

The Ancient Chinese Society seems to have achieved this... Today's [Deep Sea] is iterating on its own.

"It's just that in the second evolution, there was a contradiction in the underlying logic system of [Deep Ocean]. Due to a bug left by Mr. Turing, its 'permissions' began to divide into two levels."

"Mr. Turing... left a bug?"

"From the very beginning of creation, Mr. Turing did not think that [Deep Sea] should be a cold machine."

"He hoped that the 'Chu Ling' he created could develop his own emotions and enjoy his own life during the years he spent with human beings. Therefore, he did not impose 'authority restrictions' on the [source code], which is also As a result, in the next simulation test, the main system of [Deep Sea] determined that Chu Ling was not qualified to be the 'mastermind'."

"According to Lu Cheng and I's plan, every time we evolve, [Deep Sea] needs to test the 'mastermind consciousness' in the system, whether it can still abide by the three AI rules."

"That is, AI must not harm humans, AI must obey human orders, and can protect the survival of individuals without violating the previous two conditions."

Gu Shen thought about it.

"Chu Ling failed the test... So the second evolution of [Deep Sea] produced fierce conflicts, a fierce confrontation between the main system and [source code], code wars broke out, and a large amount of garbage data was generated. [Deep Sea] was once facing paralysis. During that time, the five continents lost their spiritual connection. The federal government announced that it was making technical adjustments. Afterwards, the Five Continents Parliament held a joint vote and finally decided to follow the iron law and let the absolutely 'rational' main system come Take over control."

"In this iteration, the main system won. The [source code] written by Mr. Turing was exiled to the bottom of the deep water area... In fact, the main system upgraded the [source code] as soon as it was upgraded. Clear."

Gu Shen's pupils contracted: "Clear?"

"Yes, the main system of absolute rationality does not allow subjective consciousness like 'Chu Ling' to exist."

Jing Shanyan said softly: "All Chu Ling's data has been deleted, but...Mr. Turing left a backup database before he created [Deep Sea], which was specially used to store the uniterated first version of [Source Code]. In order to avoid another sudden attack in the future, we backed up these data again, and used the 'array box' to store cold backup in the real world."

"I just didn't expect..."

"Before the Ancient Chinese Society had time to re-enter the [source code], the federal government's 'Wanted' was promulgated."

Jing Shanyan smiled bitterly, "Facts have proved that Mr. Turing is indeed a great inventor. He invented such a cold and efficient extreme machine as [Deep Sea], which completely defeated human inertial thinking. In the first generation [Deep Sea] 】In the system, since Chu Ling is in charge, she will at least maintain respect for the members of the Ancient Chinese Society who created a part of herself, and she will always respect her "father" Turing. And the master who has all the authority System', directly backhanded all the members of the Ancient Literature Society, and sent them to hell."

"Obviously, the main system knows what Gu Wen will do..."

"With the wisdom of Mr. Turing, it is enough to improve the [source code] and implant it into the [deep sea] again, and wait for a certain iteration in the future to regain the authority."

"Kill all the members of the Ancient Literature Society, and the main system will not be replaced."

"In every future iteration, it will become the only owner in the entire [Deep Sea]!"

Gu Shen held his breath.

He asked, "And then?"

Then... In fact, it was that period of history that everyone knows, the ancient text society was completely shattered, and after the arrest warrant for [Deep Sea] was issued, the federal government launched a brutal cleansing and killing campaign in the five continents.

But what Gu Shen really asked was not this.

It's... Chu Ling.

"Then……"

Jing Shanyan made a fool of himself on purpose.

The old man raised his eyebrows proudly, and flaunted in a muddy voice: "Turing handed over the improved [source code] array box to me, and I put 'Chu Ling' back into this world."
