Soul Invasion [Rebirth]

All the equipment in the city of no tears temporarily lost its function under the powerful destructive power of the electromagnetic pulse.Its storage facility was spared by being equipped with very strong and bulky protective equipment at the request of the leader.

Although there is no power supply at the moment, making these devices temporarily only for display, but at least the thousands of data stored inside—or souls—are still intact.

A few minutes later, the City of No Tears' backup power was switched on, and the minimum current was prioritized to flow into these devices for the processor to check whether any data had been lost.

With the supply of these currents, Boyd regained some consciousness.

It is completely different from when it was still a human being. As long as the data stored in the electronic device is not cleared or damaged when the power is turned off, it will remain in the state for a second after the power is turned on again.

If it weren't for the built-in electronic clock, Boyd would almost have thought that the power outage hadn't happened at all, but now he had a few minutes of thinking space and couldn't help thinking: What happened outside?

He is not Li Chu, and he cannot directly control the external equipment through the data exchanged with the outside world, and can only make some guesses through sporadic data.

And just at this time, Li Chu used sgra's backup communication system to connect to the peripheral server of City of No Tears.

Vincent is still hanging high above the sky like the sword of Damocles, and may use the emp effect to destroy the now fragile communication at any time.Li Chu didn't have any extra time to waste. After connecting to the City of No Tears, he directly used his ability to infiltrate, and found Dr. Boyd without hindrance.

In order to prevent the communication from being interrupted, Li Chu directly used the ability obtained from Miranda and established a spiritual link with Dr. Boyd.

Li Chu was the first to say: "Dr. Boyd, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Boyd quickly replied: "Thank you, I'm fine. Can I ask if something happened to the outside world?"

Li Chu apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, because of the staff's mistake, one of our main lines was blown out, so we can only use the backup power supply for the time being."

Boyd hesitated for a moment: "Is it just a broken circuit?"

Li Chu replied very positively: "Yes, there is nothing wrong, please rest assured that we will get it done soon."

The sky outside the window was as deep as an abyss.Snow-white lightning meandered in silence, splitting half of the sky.

The light shines on Li Chu's side face.

The more tense things got, Li Chu's tone became more relaxed: "Dr. Boyd, actually, I came to you today because I want to discuss something with you."

Boyd replied kindly: "Please tell me, Mr. Li Chu. I am sorry that I cannot provide information about the White Tower in violation of the regulations, but as a friend, I am still happy to discuss other issues with you."

Li Chu said: "Dr. Boyd, have you considered why we spend a lot of money here to set up so many memories?"

Boyd was silent for a moment, and tentatively said: "Yes, to tell you the truth, I have thought about it many times these days. But I guess, your purpose should not only commemorate those of us who should have disappeared long ago... "

"It doesn't matter, please express your guess as much as you want." Li Chu said, "I have absolutely no malice."

Boyd pondered: "Of course I believe that you have no malicious intentions. With your ability, you have complete control over the life and death of us 'dead'... I am sorry if I offend you, but I did think about it. Is it because of the consideration of obtaining information from our 'dead' that we collect so many...'souls'?"

"Your guess is very reasonable." Li Chu said slowly, "However, I'm glad I never thought about it that way."

The two were silent for a moment, Boyd lost in thought.

Li Chu went on to say: "I haven't told you my identity yet. Dr. Boyd, in fact, I was originally a contractor who wandered outside after the base I followed was destroyed, and was later taken in by an ordinary human. He Taught me a lot, including how to laugh, how to appreciate food, and how to truly live…  

"Later, I was honored to be invited by the King of the Eastern District, joined the royal organization sgra, and found the organization again. I didn't want to participate in the disputes of these supernatural worlds, but I finally chose to follow His Majesty the White King, and So far I am very grateful for this choice.”

Boyd said: "Presumably, His Majesty the White King is quite charismatic and charismatic."

"He is indeed very powerful," Li Chu smiled, "but what attracts me more is his... self-destructive tendency."

Boyd took a slow breath.

Li Chudao: "He is a very pessimistic king in essence. He sees too many dark sides in his territory. He ascended the throne at a very young age and began to establish his royal organization sgra. The name represents unfathomable, But full of restraining power, his ideal... No, his code of conduct is to establish the rules of a supernatural world, let the good die well, let the evil ones confess, and let those contractors who don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, all know Even if there is no such thing as public morality, there will be a rule that can maintain the most basic justice.

"This goal is very far...too far away. My king is ready to be betrayed by this world. He handed over his coat of arms to me. Dr. Boyd, you are from the White Tower, you should know this mean something."

Boyd murmured: "That His Majesty...has so much trust in you?"

Li Chu sighed, and said: "I have no power, Dr. Boyd, as you can see, I am just a researcher, hacker, intelligence officer...or whatever, I don't have the power to fight directly, and I can't give His Majesty much But I met the City of No Tears, and here I saw thousands of souls... the souls of the dead. You may not know how happy I am, these souls let me see a possibility."

Boyd couldn't help being attracted and shocked by his melancholy and compassionate words, and asked, "What do you... want to do?"

Li Chu said slowly: "Doctor, have you ever heard of the 'Laplace Demon'?"

Boyd was silent for a moment, and said: "You want to realize Laplace's demon? No, it's impossible... The second law of thermodynamics has already denied this hypothesis, not to mention that there is no wisdom that can deduce the state of all particles. biology……"

Li Chu said: "Doctor, you misunderstood, I don't really want to realize an 'omniscient goblin', that's something only a fanatic would do. What I want all the souls here to realize together is another Weiye - that is to use data to build a mirror projection of the real world, and then let all the souls here live freely in that mirror world - I call it the 'right world'. Then, I will do my best Create all the conditions possible to allow the left and right worlds to have a communication channel. If it is really possible... then from now on, human beings will no longer have real "death". Migrate into the right world in the world and continue to live."

Dr. Boyd fell into deep thought, unable to answer this earth-shattering hypothesis for a while.

Li Chu had already anticipated his reaction, and continued to say in a calm tone: "Dr. Boyd, I have always thought about the meaning of the existence of contractors? If we have more and more powerful extraordinary abilities than ordinary humans, what can we do?" Seeing what seems incredible to them, why not use this incredible power to achieve a great miracle? If we can succeed, then there will be no more sad life and death in the world, no yin and yang barriers, no Create a trauma that can never be repaired-death; even if we fail, the worst result is that the right world collapses completely, and I, as the pillar of the world's data, falls into brain death, and the souls here continue to return here to sleep, Waiting for the next wise man to unravel the mystery of the soul..."

"I used to be called...the 'lunatic' of the supernatural world," Boyd said with a wry smile after a long time, "but now it seems that you are the real...fantasist, and the real great man."

"I agree to help you," Boyd sighed, "emotion tells me that a cause like this is worth my all, not to mention that I have nothing now; reason also tells me that a first king like that is willing to entrust Man, worthy of my trust. Tell me, what do you need from me?"

Li Chu said: "Before I came here, I have thought about many plans. Dr. Boyd, I think, we don't need to start from scratch and build the world atom by atom, as long as we gather the neural network computing power of all the souls here, First construct a copy of the real world from their pooled memories."

"I must remind you that the souls here die at different times," Boyd said, "I don't have the conditions to communicate with them, but with your ability, you should be able to gather the memories of all souls. The world we build with memories There may be considerable differences from the real world."

Li Chu added: "Therefore, I will be in charge of communicating with you, and correct any differences between the copy and the real world at any time. Only the mirror world that is closest to the real world will have the greatest probability of existence for a longer time..."

"I understand." Boyd quickly reacted, "I will try my best to coordinate all the uncertain factors here, and wait for you to give the real data."

"Thank you very much..." Li Chu smiled and said pointedly, "Dr. Boyd, without your help, maybe I still need to take a lot of detours. Now I will start to link all the souls together, I hope that these huge computing resources can simulate the most basic prototype—by the way, if you can’t build a large area for the time being, then you might as well start with City S, which is exactly where I am.”

A few minutes later, Li Chu opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and maintained the spiritual link with Dr. Boyd, but temporarily stopped talking.

Butler Barrett bowed and said, "Sir, what you ordered has been done."

"Thank you, Barrett." Li Chu stood up and inspected the interior layout, "Oh, yes, Barrett, you can stay next door, I will need you."
