I'm a villain, not a devil

Noah's deep detection didn't take too long and it quickly gave the answer.

"Master Saint III, just like the first piece, this situation can be called 'mined'. The most important energy and Deep Blue data in the Deep Blue Chip have been taken and cannot be reproduced."

Sean frowned: "Except for energy, can Deep Blue's data be copied?"

Noah gave a negative answer: "No, the birth of the Deep Blue Chip means the fall of a Deep Blue-level strongman. In addition to technology, the chip also contains certain characteristics of Deep Blue-level strongmen. There is no explanation for this characteristic in the database, but it is certain that each Deep Blue Chip is a disposable consumable."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, and then took a breath: "Doesn't that mean that there are at least eleven Deep Blue-level masters in the world?"

Noah said, "Master Saint III, you have misunderstood. You can think of the Deep Blue Chip as a kind of legacy of a Deep Blue master, but it is not everything a Deep Blue master has, and the user cannot guarantee that he or she will become a Deep Blue."

"In fact, my database has already given hints in the process of gradual opening. The former Saint Nine once used a deep blue chip, but he did not ask me to help read and write. But when the former Saint Nine died, he was still in the upper deep red level and did not seem to have found a way to advance to deep blue."

Xiao En suddenly realized and nodded: "So that's it..."

It seems that my previous guess was correct to a certain extent.

Advancing to Deep Red is a process of polluting oneself, while advancing to Deep Blue is a process of purifying oneself... But it is obvious that this kind of purification cannot be achieved by Deep Blue Chips alone...

Could it be that to advance to Deep Blue, one also needs to rely on the power of the World Tree?

Just as Sean was thinking, Noah gave him another reminder.

"Master Saint III, I detected that one of the chips has fragments of data that can be read and pieced together. I guess that due to the peculiarity of the chip itself, the user did not fully use it. This chip may have been left by a stronger person in the Deep Blue level. Do you need me to read it?"

"Read." Sean ordered immediately.

"Yes, reading..."

This time, Noah took longer than Sean imagined.

Forty-eight hours later, even Mio Shisan woke up, but Noah still didn't give a signal that the reading was complete. Sean almost thought it had crashed.

"That slate was originally my gift. Should I have been the owner of the Hall of Thinking?" Mio Shisan stared at Sean and said.

Sean didn't hide it, he nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, it was originally given to you, but now that I'm here, it's mine."

Mio Shisan curled her lips and said, "That's very nice of you... But, according to what you said, Noah has never spent so much time reading a piece of data?"

Sean's expression was a little thoughtful: "Yes, in the past, no matter what level of chip, it only lasted half an hour at most. The Genesis Slate itself contains a huge amount of data and processing components... Although the Deep Blue chip is of a high level, it is just a chip that has been mined..."

Mio Shisan's expression was a little strange: "I always feel that you are going to get something good again..."

"Don't worry, even if I get it, you won't get a share."

"Tsk, so stingy. I'm not even a living person now, and you're still hiding things from me."

"I'm already very polite of you to allow you to enter and exit the small handle freely. Do you really think that I am thinking about our 'father-daughter relationship'?"

"I am now a weapon spirit, your weapon spirit!"

"Then I said I would revive you, do you want to?"

"It's not impossible, but you definitely won't be happy about it."

"You're wrong. I'd like to, but I don't have the ability to judge others by my own standards."

"I learned it from you, thank you."

"Do I have to say you're welcome?"

While arguing with Mio Shisan, suddenly, Noah, who had been silent for a long time, gave a reminder.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Saint Three. The incomplete data has been read."

Sean was delighted: "Why did it take so long?"

"The data is extremely hidden, and the chip seems to have been manufactured using only one type of technology from the Vault. I suspect this is a product from after the apocalypse, and the Deep Blue who made it is more powerful than I could have imagined. I tried to reconstruct 68,729,261 reading methods, and finally succeeded."

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched: "Exhaustive method?"

"This is one of the meanings of my birth. Do you want to watch it now? The read data was finally pieced together into a video."

"Then let's see."

Just as he was about to close his eyes and enter the thinking hall, Sean turned his head to look at Mio Shisan who was floating idly in the air.

After thinking for a moment, Sean asked, "Noah, can you connect to her consciousness?"

"Of course, you still have a slate."

"Then let her occupy the stone slab and follow me into the Hall of Thought. Anyway, I can use it whenever I need to use my clone in the future."

"Yes, as you expected."

Mio Shisan could only hear Sean talking to the air, but the meaning of his words was easy to understand. Suddenly, her expression became a little strange.

"You really want to let me in?" she said.

Sean smiled and said, "Isn't it boring to be idle outside?"

As soon as the words fell, the vision of both of them went black, and then they saw the Thinking Hall.

Mio Shisan showed a look of surprise: "This is the so-called thinking hall..."

Noah's voice sounded: "Welcome back, Saint Three. Welcome to your first visit, Saint Two."

Mio Thirteen responded quickly: "You are Saint Three, right? Why am I Saint Two?"

Sean walked into the hall and said casually, "It's just the slate number. The first person to enter is the owner of the Thinking Hall. But Saint II is my vest. I'll lend it to you for the time being."

Mio Shisan followed him and asked, "Can I come and go as I please from now on?"

"Come in and chat with Noah if you're bored." Sean smiled.

"Noah..." Mio Shisan whispered the name again, and then smiled again, "I like this name."

"Thank you for your love, Saint Two." Noah's voice sounded again, "This is the name Saint Three gave me. It represents his expectations for me."

"What's the name he chose?"

"Yes."

Sean at the side wondered, "Yes, I chose the name, but where did the expectation come from?"

"Please forgive my presumption. I think I should have added some more adjectives to add dignity and grandeur when describing you," Noah apologized.

Mio Shisan was amazed and said, "What an exaggerated sense of autonomy... But, father, you named it Noah, and you named me Mio Shisan?"

Sean rolled his eyes: "I didn't take that. You took it yourself."

"I took it myself?" Mio Shisan was stunned.

On the other side, Noah had already projected a large screen: "Master Saint III?"

Sean nodded: "Just play it."

"Yes."

Seeing this scene, Mio Shisan had to suppress the doubts in her heart and walked to Sean's side. She was also very curious about the Deep Blue powerhouse.

The picture is a bit distorted, and it seems to be quite a long time ago. In many places, you can clearly see traces of AI supplementation. I think it is Noah's masterpiece.

In the picture, there is a blurry figure sitting cross-legged on a rock. It seems to be a cliff, or a reef by a lake somewhere, and in the distance there is a large lake-like existence.

An indistinguishable male or female voice sounded, and it was obvious that it was not the figure who was speaking. Noah also said that this should be the voice of the person whose perspective was coming from.

"It feels like watching a CG video in the first person..." Sean complained subconsciously.

The voice-over doesn't sound very emotional, but you can still feel the confusion.

“I haven’t seen those things.”

The scene was silent for a while.

Finally, the figure sitting on the stone slowly turned his head.

Noah's voice sounded at the right time: "In the data read, the appearance of this person is too blurry to be restored clearly. However, according to the information in the database, I think if you and Saint Two look directly at the blurry appearance of this person, it may cause a certain degree of pollution to your etheric bodies, so I directly covered it on the basis of the original blur."

After the figure turned around, only a black head was left.

Sean and Mio Shisan looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

An image that only exists in incomplete data and is even blurry, if seen, will it pollute the etheric body?

Besides, isn't this the memory image of a Deep Blue expert? Logically speaking, the Deep Blue level should be mainly about purification, so how could there be pollution...

The figure made a strange voice. He clearly sounded like a young man, but he had a sense of oldness to him, just like the clouds floating in the distant sky supporting the setting sun.

"Have you seen them all?"

The voice outside the screen thought for a while and said: "I have visited all the places I can go. They are not the same as what you described. Many places are empty. I have not found the strange things you mentioned."

The man sighed slightly: "That proves that you have no talent."

The voice-over was silent for a while, then said unwillingly: "Sir, I have been praised as hope since I was born, and people call me my mother's true child. When I awakened my superpowers at the age of eight, I became a king that many people could not touch. When I was promoted to Crimson at the age of eighteen, I hunted the crazy beast alone. When I was promoted to Deep Blue at the age of thirty-eight, I walked a path that no one else has ever walked."

"So what?" The man didn't care.

Sean, who was watching, twitched his eyes slightly. What a top genius! It's probably useless even if he lives. He can't compare to the owner of the voice-over.

The person outside the painting is still saying: "Sir, I am not talking about how amazing my talent is, because I know very well that this is a gift from my mother, and I am just lucky. However, as a person who bears this gift, I must repay my mother. This is my long-cherished wish, and deep blue is not enough..."

The man turned his head slowly and said calmly, "If you can't see those things, it proves that you have reached your limit. A gift is often a curse. Although your mother is one of the symbols of this world, she is not a true god. She cannot be free of desires and cannot ignore everything."

"You are bound by grace, and your mother is bound by madness."

The voice-over fell silent. After a long while, the man spoke again and asked, "Sir, is there no other way? I can clearly sense that my mother only needs some help, and then she can enter the stage of self-recovery..."

The man directly rejected the other party: "No, you can't do it, then wait for someone else who can do it."

"But... who else can do it? Even if they can, without the awe and respect for their mother, those who can do it will just become the next greedy demander..."

The man chuckled: "If you can do that, how can you guarantee that you are not the greedy demander?"

The voice-over became solemn: "My long-cherished wish is to revive my mother. When she gave me the gift, this is what I should do."

The man shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "It is indeed a little special, but that's all... If your mother can't resist it, how can you resist it? Go back. If you give up those fantasies, you can come to me again."

"I will never give up!"

"Oh, then leave."

The scene changed, and when it came on again, they had arrived in a simple room.

The view turned to the bathroom, and the face of the viewer finally appeared in the mirror.

And that face made Sean and Mio Shisan both hold their breath.

That's... Sean?

The facial features are almost the same, but he is more mature and older than the real Sean.

What the hell are you doing...

Sean's brows were slightly furrowed, and a dangerous light reflected in his eyes.

Shocked, Mio Jusan subconsciously turned her head and saw the expression on Sean's face.

Suddenly a realization hit her, and Sean got a little angry.

Is it because of the person in the picture who looks like him?

That should be the former Sean, right?

Thinking of this, Mio Shisan turned around and looked at the person in the mirror. The man there was shaving.

He and Sean are really almost identical, but the biggest difference is that although that man is equally handsome, unlike Sean's evil and lazy look, the other man looks righteous and gives people a sense of security at a glance.

"That's weird...it seems like they're not the same person...could it be Sean's father or someone else?"

At this time, Sean himself also noticed something different.

Even if they look almost exactly the same, the other person is not me...

Apart from the facial features, expressions, behavior patterns, subconscious little movements, etc., there are no similarities.

The corner of his mouth twitched. Could this be his cheap father?

Or maybe, you were cloned according to the other person's genes?

In the picture, the man in the mirror has finished shaving. He looks at himself in the mirror and sighs.

"Back then I thought it was extremely difficult to advance to the Deep Blue level, but in the end I found the right path... I just need to remove all the pollution in my body, and the Deep Blue Road will have the key to open the door... Haha, the most difficult part is that everyone in the world is born with natural malice, which is also a kind of pollution... I don't have such a problem, but it's not a big problem. I can just find a pure white Mad Beast..."

"When everything is over, it means my mother's approval... But after being promoted to Deep Blue for decades, I still haven't found a way to go further. I can't see a glimmer of hope..."

"Mother...what should I do?"
