In the mysterious world of Cthulhu, I am the Lord of the Gods

"Adro, tell me what you saw recently."

Claure took a cautious look around and then lowered his voice.

"Okay Master, let's start from the 'Hive' headquarters first."

After Adro finished speaking, the potato-shaped stone instantly became smooth, like a mirror.

A picture emerges on the surface of the stone...

Face to face

'Hive' - Level 16, Behavioral Analysis Department.

A secret room shrouded in floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

In the room of farmer Abners, Bennet was standing respectfully in front of Dr. Burt, reporting to Dr. Burt who was sitting on a round stool.

Claure learned the content of the conversation between the two through the voice coming from Adro.

Bennet:

"Dr. Burt, our creation, our host, seems to be behaving a little erratically."

Dr. Burt:

"Have you not checked out the wrong magic program instructions until now?"

"That's really not your style."

"Unless, of course, you discovered the problem a long time ago and solved it."

"It's just that the result of the mistake made you feel embarrassed and you couldn't speak to me."

Bennet:

"Doctor, there is something wrong with the magic command program you added."

"The magic command program from Arnott - 'Meditation'"

"It has some..."

Dr. Burt:

"mistake."

"There's something wrong with it, right?"

"Obvious programming error, isn't it?"

"You find that word embarrassing, so you don't want to say it in front of me."

"Actually, you don't have to feel ashamed."

"The evolution of human beings from cells to higher life forms is the product of trillions of mistakes."

"Humans have evolved to be the most emotional and sentient beings on the planet."

"The only tool you have is your mistakes."

Bennet:

"But now, we are taking a more professional and mature approach to evolution than making mistakes."

"That's 'cheating'."

"We are currently deceiving the board of directors and deceiving the supervision of the three main churches."

"I guess 'deception' is also an evolutionary result of natural selection."

Dr. Burt:

"indeed so."

"Of course, we humans have successfully escaped the shackles of evolution so far, right?"

"We do it through magic and cutting-edge technology."

"Enabling us to cure any disease."

"Let the weakest among us live."

"Maybe one day in the future."

"We can even bring the dead back to life."

"Bennet, do you know what this means?"

"Meaning this is the end of our evolution."

"That's the best we can achieve."

"In order to achieve this great goal, so that means you have to accommodate my occasional mistakes."

The screen continued to flow and came to the second screen:

The scene of Avril, an intern in the Behavior Analysis Department, and Bennett, the director of the Behavior Analysis Department, discussing together:

Avril:

"Let's take another look at the photo that caused the farmer, Abernathy, to behave abnormally."

"I reviewed the entire magical surveillance tape."

"In the end, it was discovered that after Abners got the photo, every action he made was a real-time reaction and was completely not set by the scriptwriter."

"After he got the photo, he was like this all the way, like he was thinking carefully and thinking about it."

"Director Bennett, you have concluded that after Abnerus saw this photo from the outside world, it forced him to have memory confusion. This caused his program confusion. And this is an individual phenomenon, It’s a random, low-probability event.”

"But I know that things are definitely not that simple. I think that Abners's program was not confused, and there was no problem with his program logic. Instead, he got photos from a world that he thought did not exist. This The photo was beyond his scope of cognition, which led to his inability to understand the photo, and the next unknown error occurred."

"This is a serious self-awareness problem on the part of the host, rather than a simple problem of confusion in his memory due to a program upgrade."

"Do you think it's right?"

"Director Bennet?"

Bennet:

"Avril, you are overcomplicating things. The source of the error is very simple and clear."

"After the 'Contemplation' program was upgraded, memory fragments of the old theme story remained, resulting in old and new memories being mixed together, resulting in an error that the program could not recognize."

"After inspection, the supervisors of the three main gods came to the same conclusion."

"That's where the error comes from."

"We all know."

Avril:

"No, I think you're covering for Abnerus."

"Director Bennet, please let me test Abernath in detail next."

"I will make sure to find the real cause and solve the problem completely."

"I promise."

Bennet:

"Avril, this is just a problem that occurred to a very few receptionists after the program was upgraded, rather than a more serious systemic problem."

"You know the company's policy. Once it is determined to be a systemic problem, there will be major testing and debugging, which will seriously affect the normal operation of all theme storylines in the western town."

"Let this go."

Avril:

"Then at least let me remove the receptionists who had close contact with him and conduct more specific testing and debugging."

"Like his daughter Dorothy."

Bennet:

"why?"

Avril:

"Because if this is more than a glitch."

"Then Abernath's symptoms are likely to be contagious."

"That's pretty much it."

"The receptionists already felt like someone was whispering in their ears."

"Isn't this a serious problem?"

Bennet:

"Dorothy has undergone multiple inspections and it has been determined that there is no fault."

“These fantasy stories are left to tourists to explore.”

.........

Screen three, Bennet reporting to Dr. Bot:

Bennet:

"After discussions with the directors, the final decision was made to remove the two problematic receptionists."

"Walter, who murdered his own accomplice, and Abernathy, the farmer."

"Dr. Bot, you taught me how to create them."

"But you didn't teach me how to turn them off. Turning them off is so difficult. After all, I spent too much effort on them."
