All gods become gods

"Compared with your question, I am more curious about what caused you to ask this question." The prophet did not answer directly, and looked at Zhou Yi behind his glasses.

"My factor." Zhou Yi said directly, and Neo also heaved a sigh of relief. The idea itself was proposed by Zhou Yi. It is naturally most suitable for him to face the Prophet.

And in the process of aligning, Neo can also observe carefully.

To be honest, Neo still doesn't believe in prophets very much now. Although she seems to have made some predictions, these predictions will be changed by Zhou Yi.

The way to change is very tough, but if the prophet really has the ability to predict the future, shouldn't he be able to predict it in advance?

In this way, the credibility of what Zhou Yi once said to Neo about the prophet began to rise sharply from Neo.

Thinking about it this way, from the beginning to the present, the information Zhou Yi told Neo has never been proven wrong.

Neo thought to himself, and the line-up between Zhou Yi and the Prophet had already begun.

"Why do you think about this problem?"

"Didn't you bring it up?" Zhou Yi asked back, "You said that the savior can save mankind, so you should give a reason."

"If I say why, then the facts change. Ever heard of the butterfly effect? ​​If I have an effect on him, then he can't do those things."

"It's really a seemingly impeccable reason, so let's ask in another way." Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, "What kind of ability does the savior have?"

"The ability to change the world..." The prophet's tone became ethereal.

"Like I turned your freshly baked bread filling into mold?"

"It's not the same!" the Prophet retorted, "Your use is only the most superficial!"

"A little more advanced, what can be done?" Zhou Yi asked again, "Can it destroy the program of the mother body, or can it directly destroy the world of the mother body?"

"Of course it's impossible." The Prophet shook his head, "The matrix won't be so fragile."

"That means it can destroy the program... In this way, it is indeed very strong." Zhou Yi pretended to understand.

"...And then?" The Prophet knew that Zhou Yi had something else to say.

"Then, I came up with a new idea," Zhou Yi said in a playful tone, "First of all, even if the savior can solve the program, it is impossible to say that it can reach the level of instant kill, and the mother body can be dragged down by a steady stream of program output. Savior.

In short, compared with the original rebels, the savior is only able to confront the anti-virus program head-on. In this case, the so-called savior does not seem to have much effect under such circumstances. "

"……so what?"

"So, from the analysis of the fundamental purpose of the action, we need to confirm what is our ultimate purpose," Zhou Yi said, "In a nutshell, it is nothing more than defeating the matrix and liberating mankind?"

"That's it." The Prophet took out a pipe, lit it, squinted his eyes, and wanted to smoke.

Zhou Yi snapped his fingers, whether it was the smoke from the pipe or the smoke exhaled by the Prophet after inhaling it, all of them were fixed next to the Prophet's head, and did not take it to other places at all.

prophet:"……"

"However, I thought of a problem. Not everyone wants to leave the virtual world. The reality is far more cruel than the virtual one." Zhou Yi smiled, "So, my idea is to make the existence of the mother body public, So they can make their own choices.”

The prophet's pipe quivered slightly.

"This will lead to the death of countless people." Putting down his pipe, the Prophet said in a deep voice.

"Change always requires blood, and only in this way will people cherish and remember it," Zhou Yiman said indifferently, "this is an inevitable sacrifice."

"But there is obviously a way for a savior to save the world."

"Haven't I already said it all before? The savior has no possibility of overturning the mother world."

"You are a waste of life!"

"Being locked in the nutrition cabin and reduced to a tool of the mother's body, such a person is also worthy of being called a human?" Zhou Yi sneered, "They can make their own choices, but I don't care about those who choose to stay in the virtual world coward."

"As long as your words are known by others, people will criticize you." The prophet narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had caught Zhou Yi's weakness.

however--

"What qualifications do ants have to criticize the dragon?" Zhou Yi smiled disdainfully, "The leader of the era should never care about the opinions of ordinary people, because they are not qualified to do so. Let’s talk at the same height.”

"..." Neo was a little moved.

From Zhou Yi's words, he heard incomparable confidence and pride.

Until this time, the charm faded away, and he finally saw the side of this man that he usually hides—the attitude based on his own strength.

"No wonder he dared to say that he can deal with the matrix at will... Come to think of it, everything he said is true, right?" Neo thought to himself.

"...You...you think so too?" In the first you, the Prophet was still facing Zhou Yi, and in the latter one, the Prophet gave up and looked at Neo.

"If my ability is not so great as to subvert the maternal world," Neo pondered for a while, "maybe... Zhou Yi's idea is the best solution. Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone has to choose. Pay the price you deserve for the choices you made."

"..." The Prophet took a few puffs of cigarettes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally said, "Please go back, you two, there are many possibilities in the future, maybe what I said is right, maybe what you said That's right, any person, any event, any sentence may change the future... So, now, I can't tell you what the future will be like, why don't you let us walk and watch?"

"From the beginning to the present, this is the only nonsense sentence you have said." Zhou Yi shook his clothes, as if he was covered with some dust, waved his hands casually and went out, "Looking forward to our meeting in the future, I Thought you'd be surprised, um... prophet?"

Neo also stood up, wanting to leave.

"Do you believe what he said?" the prophet called Neo.

"……more or less."

"The programs of the mother body do not necessarily all have the same purpose, nor do they necessarily have the same behavior style," the prophet's voice came into Neo's ear, implying, "Some want to change, some Want to keep the old, but some... want to destroy, what kind of existence do you think some people are?"

"...I don't know, I'm like a pawn," Neo paused, and when he walked to the door, he left a sentence, "But he was the only one who told me clearly that I was a pawn , and also told me how I can break my fate!"

After Neo left, the kitchen fell silent.

The Prophet's face is very dark...Of course, it was already very dark, but now it is even darker.

"Snapped!"

After a long time, the pipe was smashed hard on the ground, and broke with a crisp sound.

……

"What did you and the Prophet say afterwards?"

On the way, Murphys couldn't help asking.

"Based on the issue of the savior and saving the world, we conducted further in-depth discussions, and finally reached a consensus on one aspect." Zhou Yi nodded with a smile.

"That's good..." Murphys was instantly relieved.

Neo looked at Zhou Yi with weird eyes.

How do you picture that situation as being so peaceful!

"I don't understand, this is the art of speaking." Zhou Yi sensed Neo's gaze, and sent a telepathy.

"So that's how you put things into a completely different situation?"

"Isn't this the basic skill of a reporter?" Zhou Yi asked.

"You are not a reporter!"

"That's right, it makes sense..." Zhou Yi was thoughtful, as if he had never been a reporter since the beginning?

……

In a pure white room.

Because the white is so pure that it seems to extend out into an infinite space.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Enter." The architect, who closed his eyes and meditated, frowned slightly and looked in one direction.

The door was opened, and the "Prophet" in colorful clothes walked in, grabbed a chair and sat down, took out his pipe and started smoking.

"Don't smoke here." The architect frowned, and the smoke from the prophet's pipe disappeared. "It's a rare thing for you to come to me. What happened?"

"Stop talking, see for yourself," the Prophet took two puffs of a smokeless pipe, tapped lightly, and the surroundings began to change, restoring what the Prophet had seen and heard, like a large-scale 3D virtual environment experience same as museum.

This is not too simple for the parent program, it is just a matter of CV the data.

This scene was played within a second, which is no different from a cutscene, and the architect is not surprised by this. Anyway, it is a program. Accepting the data is equivalent to knowing everything, playing it all again or something , isn't it a waste of time?

Of course, this also shows that the Prophet is in a very bad mood at this time, because for them, generally speaking, they will try their best to play human beings and simulate the daily behavior of human beings.

This is called - impersonation.

"...This person has the ability to change data." The architect "watched" the complete process and pondered.

"You're just talking nonsense like that?" The prophet said angrily.

"Of course not, I'm just... a little strange," the architect said after thinking for a while, "This is amazing. According to our calculations, his trajectory should not coincide with Neo's at all, at most he just collides with him." They looked at each other, but now...not only are they connected with each other, but this Zhou Yi also has the same bug ability as Neo...why is this?"

"So you just told me a bunch of problems in my heart?" The prophet's complexion is not very good-looking, but there is nothing wrong with it. After Zhou Yi and Neo's non-talking about martial arts + mental blows, his complexion is still pretty. There are really ghosts.

"Otherwise?" The architect spread his hands.

"You are the architect, the overall structure of the matrix, and all previous versions are all under your control!"

"Yes, that is indeed the case, but it is a coincidence that this Mr. Zhou, all his changes come from two people we will not observe - Neo and Smith." The architect shook his head, " In order to avoid any influence on them, and to ensure the authenticity of the birth of emotions, these are two monitoring loopholes, and it is still your request, so don't try to throw the responsibility on me."

"Okay, even if that's the case," the Prophet took two puffs of his cigarette depressedly, "You don't have any idea about the proposal that week?"

"It is a bold idea to make the news of the mother body public," the architect pondered for a while, then smiled wryly and shook his head, "The unknown is too great, and everyone may make different decisions about this matter." If I want to evaluate the possible consequences of this incident, I will need a long period of time and a lot of computing power.”

"Then what if it's just a superficial estimate?" The Prophet stared at the architect, smoking a smokeless pipe, "Don't tell me, you didn't think of what I thought of."

"On the contrary, my thoughts should be completely different from yours, on the contrary." The architect crossed his hands and lined his chin, "If this really happens... maybe, we don't need to stick to Smith and Neo, All the human beings in the world, all the emotions they burst out...maybe it may lead us to real evolution!"

"That will most likely lead to the collapse of the matrix world!" said the Prophet, "You are really crazy!"

"It's not that the maternal world has never collapsed. I still remember that it was a perfect world. Anyone can get whatever they want and feel whatever they want without paying anything." The architect seems to be in a memory.

"Then, 90.00% of the human race died because of a mental breakdown." The Prophet said with a sullen face.

"Yeah, what a wonderful creature. After satisfying all their needs, they will die out... This is really strange." The architect shook his head.

"Even so, at the risk of another collapse of the matrix world and the death of all human beings, you still insist on letting them realize their plans, or even push them secretly?" The prophet frowned.

"It's not that we haven't backed up those human genes, what's more, isn't there a Zion that we raised?" The architect said lightly, writing lightly, "It's just a number, even if all human beings It doesn't matter if they are all brain-dead, throwing their bodies into the sewer, and after the factory cleans them up, we can still get so much nutrient solution."

"Okay then." The Prophet thought for a while and agreed, "You'd better look forward to it, don't play it off."

Chapter 18 Cypher's Death, Exposed, Begin!

Looking at the past events of the times, it is only a few people who lead an event to trace its source.

Generally speaking, those few leaders also reflect the wishes of most of the leaders. After all, when the strength is almost the same, if the opinions cannot be reached, how can they work together?

However, this time, the difference is that... Although Zhou Yi is the leader, those who are about to be led are not at the same level of strength as him.

This also means that even if Zhou Yi's choice really goes against the wishes of most people...it doesn't matter, and what he wants to achieve can still be achieved.

That's why the Prophet lost his composure at the beginning—it was the first time she met a lunatic like Zhou Yi who didn't care at all, at least on the surface, who didn't care about other people at all, and a lunatic who had the ability to change data to a certain extent!

It's not that the Prophet didn't think about directly taking Zhou Yi's nutrition cabin in reality, and the real realization solved the problem from the root, but when the mechanical squid it commanded came to the nutrition cabin, he found that Zhou Yi had already Already "people go to the empty cabin".

The problem is that there is no record of news about this in the matrix world!

This is the first human being who has escaped from the matrix world without being monitored by the matrix world!

Yes, before that, all the "escaping" humans were in the records of the mother body, including the so-called human base Zion, which was just a toy in the hands of the mother body, a big tool for cultivating emotions.

All of this, at root, is the plan of the Prophet, the plan of the Matrix.

But now, due to the sudden appearance of Zhou Yi, a special existence, the situation has completely changed unexpectedly.

Even for the mother body, this is unexpected... After all, from the beginning to the end, the only bugs in the mother body program are "Savior" Neo and "mutated anti-virus program" Smith, but I don't know now Out of nowhere, a new one popped up, and a plan to nullify the Prophet's efforts...

Therefore, after discussing with the architect, the Prophet backed down, and after hearing the architect's plan, it was also a little tempted. The truth in the virtual world, and if you really realize that it is true, what kind of emotional changes will occur?

Will such a drastic emotional change allow the mother to evolve successfully without sticking to the savior's plan?

……

"If, I mean if," Neo asked in the car, "if we really make the matter of the mother body public, how should we solve the problem of human beings breaking away from the world of the mother body, such as food and shelter? kind?"

"Good question," Zhou Yi nodded, "It's still the same sentence, your own choice, right? When explaining the situation to them, don't hide anything, just tell them the whole situation, willing to stay in the virtual world Let them continue to stay in the virtual world.”

"Then...the matrix still exists?" Neo was surprised.

"No, the matrix will no longer exist, and what will exist will be another artificial intelligence, an artificial intelligence that will not limit humans, but will provide assistance within its capacity," Zhou Yi said, "not all artificial intelligence is bad. Yes, moreover, it is also an inevitable product of the development of science and technology to a certain level. It is possible to prevent it, but to eliminate it is a bit extreme. Of course, there is no need to speak morally about artificial intelligence that has already attacked humans. Elimination is the best solution. Way."

"Then... where did that program come from?" Neo's face was a little serious, and he thought of what the Prophet had said to him before he left...

"An artificial intelligence I have transformed," Zhou Yi said, "Maybe we can meet in the real world?"

……

"You don't look like someone who just came out of the nutrition cabin." Neo looked at Zhou Yi in surprise, "Where did you get your clothes?"
