Summoning Infinite Movie

"Why help us?" Jiang Jibei did not immediately accept Pickle Fish's offer of help, but asked, "As an artificial intelligence, you should be a part of this huge system program."

That is, their opposites.

"Then this is part of the judgment of the program, or my judgment." Pickled Fish pondered for a moment and replied, "Helping you is the best solution."

Jiang Jibei thought to himself that this artificial intelligence runs counter to the main system, perhaps because of the characteristics of independent blocks, or because it has already produced "self-awareness".

"Who is the leader of feb?" Chi Xian asked suddenly, "Where is he? In the country, on the island, or outside the country?"

Chi Xian's question made Jiang Jibei a little surprised, this is a question he has always ignored.

feb is a powerful chaebol with decades of history. Jiang Jibei subconsciously regards it as a decentralized organization. After all, such a large multinational chaebol cannot be easily controlled by one person. At least one A decision-making body similar to a board of directors.

No one ever knew who the real head of feb was, whether it was one person, a group of people, or no one.

"Don't you know?" The pickled cabbage fish asked Chi Xian back.

"No need to try," Chi Xian calmly figured out his intentions, "Feb doesn't trust me that much."

He hadn't seen the real leader either.

The organizational structure of feb is strict. Below the head is the high-level leadership group, below the high-level is the middle-level, and finally the bottom-level staff. Each team and department performs their own duties, and completes according to the orders transmitted from the upper layer. Task.

Over the decades, they have all kinds of spokesmen who have appeared in public to deal with the mainstream media, but these spokesmen are just puppets who are manipulated.

For example, Ruan Dulan, he is one of the spokespersons of feb.

"Sorry, I have no core secrets to share." Although it is composed of low-resolution monochrome blocks, it can still be seen that the corners of the pickled fish on the screen are curled up, and the expression is slightly apologetic.

These subtle expressions reminded Jiang Jibei of other artificial intelligence created by Feb - the spokesperson of the film festival organizer, 0003 and 0004.

Compared with the same kind, pickled fish is obviously closer to human beings, and his emotions are so natural that they are almost indistinguishable from human beings.

So Jiang Jibei changed the way of asking: "Then can you tell us, what is the real purpose of feb?"

The pickled fish was quiet for a few seconds.

The sound of "rustling" resounded through the quiet space.

Suddenly, the condensed face of the sauerkraut fish distorted on the screen, and the original but distinct image dissipated in an instant, and the color blocks danced and danced, and then turned into positive red squares of the same hue.

Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian looked at each other, and before they had time to move, they saw the entire screen turn red.

Is it because a problem like this triggers a system warning?

"Sauerkraut fish?" Jiang Jibei tapped the screen uncertainly.

"It's... please wait..."

The artificial intelligence on the screen was still there, and the sound came intermittently from the speakers, which sounded more broken than before.

After a while, several long blue bars suddenly popped up on the red screen, and the blue bars gradually replaced the red squares, from which the rotating loading logo emerged.

The pickled fish-themed pixel square and the positive red square flipped back and forth, and the screen flickered violently for a few seconds, and the pickled fish returned to the center of the screen.

It really is the "more violent" existence in Chi Xian's intuition.

Not knowing what Sauerkraut Fish had tampered with in the system, Jiang Jibei quietly looked at the pixel villain on the screen, waiting for him to tell the secret hidden in the system.

"...For these years, feb has been working on developing a virtual world system, with the purpose of destroying the existing garbage world, and destroying all human tissues and organs that exist as 'cumbersome'." After a long while, the voice of the pickled cabbage fish was amidst the rustling It sounded, "Just keep the consciousness of human beings, so that human beings can live carefree in the new world they build."

Jiang Jibei's heart sank, and he instantly understood the meaning of pickled fish.

Since the popularization of mechanical prosthetics, an underground association that worships them has quietly been born. They distort the generally accepted fact that "normally functioning precision mechanical prosthetics can make people's lives more convenient" into something like "flesh and blood are weak, and machines are soaring". teachings, with complete disregard for the risks it may entail.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered Feb's full name - februus, "god of the heathen".

They, or he, at least the leader of feb wants to be the creator, subvert the original world order and create a new world.

"So, is the live-action movie device on Mirror Island one of the experimental devices?" Jiang Jibei confirmed to him.

"That's right." Pickled Fish's eyebrows were stacked together, showing a rare heaviness. "They want to collect all the emotions released to the extremes of human beings, and develop a system that simulates the emotions of real people. Horror movies are the best way."

What he said was no different from what Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian had speculated before.

"How many artificial intelligences like you are there on the island?" Jiang Jibei asked, "At least half of the film assistants are artificial intelligences, right? How are they doing now?"

When the organizer of the film festival arranged assistants for the experiencers before, Chi Xian told him that there are both staff and AI among the assistants, and the purpose of involving AI is to enable them to better guide and capture the emotions of the experiencers in the film system. mood.

"If you mean the same artificial intelligence as me now, I don't know. I didn't find the 'similar', maybe I'm some kind of 'fault'." Speaking of himself, the pickled fish's face flickered, and for the assistant Half of it is a description of artificial intelligence, he denied, "Except for Mr. K, the other assistants are all generated by the system."

He started calling Chi Xian "Mr. K".

Jiang Jibei turned to look at Chi Xian, and saw the same surprise in his eyes.

It seems that Chi Xian was also kept in the dark.

As a newly promoted high-level Chi Xian knows a thing or two about Feb's wishful thinking, but Feb is still wary of him and doesn't tell him everything.

After confirming what they want to know, there is no need to ask any more questions. The more in-depth pickled fish can't answer, so they can only think of a way after leaving the movie.

"Please take us out." Thinking of this, Jiang Jibei said flatly, "Leave the movie first, and we'll talk about things later."

"Let's talk about the current matter now," the image of the pickled fish flickered again, "In exchange, I need you to do one thing."

Artificial intelligence also knows how to negotiate conditions?

Jiang Jibei suppressed the surprise in his heart, and felt that the program on the screen was more and more human-like.

"I can't observe things outside the system. I can only feel that the pork belly chicken is in the system for a while, and then leaves the system for a while." The pickled fish on the screen fluctuates more and more, so that the color blocks fall out of the screen , hit the ground, "I want you to find her and bring her to me."

Jiang Jibei frowned: "Take her back to meet you in the real scene system? She probably won't like it."

Chi Xian, who was silent for a while, also spoke at this moment: "Do you know her current state?"

Pickled cabbage fish shook his head, staring at him: "I really want to know."

"She is being forcibly connected to a mind adjustment device, and we are about to rescue her." Chi Xian looked at the bottom of the screen, and the falling color blocks slowly changed color on the floor, reminding them that this is not the real world, "Can we break through? The siege is a problem, and how to evacuate after saving her is also a problem. It is extremely dangerous outside the movie, and it is impossible for us to return here again and return to 'in the movie'."

Jiang Jibei did not answer, but quietly waited for him to continue.

The brightness of the screen dropped rapidly without being adjusted, and the face of the pickled cabbage fish instantly became gray, with a very sad expression.

Chi Xian threw out a condition at this time: "Unless you come to the movies."

Like a spokesperson at a film festival, AI can naturally have a physical presence.

Pickled Fish was still shaking his head: "I don't have entity authority."

"You can have it." Chi Xian was slow, but logically clear, "We also need your help to break through the siege, since you can bypass the main system to a certain extent, you can use the loophole to affect everyone within the effective range of the real-world device .”

In short, it is to create more errors.

Jiang Jibei knew that this was Chi Xian's secret bargaining with Pickled Fish. The reciprocal condition of "bring the pork belly and chicken" changed from "assisting the two to leave the movie" to "assisting the two inside and outside the movie".

He resisted the urge to laugh, and felt that Chi Xian was like an unscrupulous person who tricked ignorant children into working in a brothel.

Jiang Jibei didn't know what the measure of pickled fish was, but the other party flickered a few times before uttering a word clearly: "Okay."

His reaction was within Chi Xian's expectation, Chi Xian didn't say much, and nodded.

"Then we passed through the screen?" Jiang Jibei stood in front of the screen with a confused expression.

When it came to the actual operation, he finally felt outrageous.

Is he really going to crawl around on TV with Chi Xian like Sadako in old movies?

How will he return to reality?Climb out from the real screen and complete the transformation of space?

"Please come in." The pickled cabbage fish stepped aside, leaving the two screens with alternately flashing snowflakes and red, "enter the 'space' that I can control, and I can eject you."

So that was the case, Jiang Jibei heaved a sigh of relief.

Chi Xian stretched out his arm and held his hand.

The two looked at each other, and crashed into the screen together very tacitly.

Unexpected impact, Jiang Jibei opened his eyes, and found that he and Chi Xian were standing in the void, surrounded by countless doors made of flowing colors, from which one could vaguely peep into another door. world.

Pickled cabbage fish stood next to them, already looking like a normal person, no longer the pixel villain on the screen just now.

He nodded to the two and stretched out his hand: "Waiting for your good news."

Chi Xian also nodded, ready to shake hands with Pickled Fish: "Your cooperation is needed."

Unexpectedly, the pickled cabbage fish didn't come to shake hands with him, he flipped his palm, and Chi Xian bounced into the sky as if hit by a jet elastic device.

"Wait," the scene in front of him made Jiang Jibei take a step back vigilantly, "Electronic pop-up is fine, there is no need to use physical simulation special effects—"

Before he finished speaking, his whole body had already passed countless doors at high speed, and was instantly engulfed by the flowing colors.

After being top-heavy for a moment, Jiang Jibei stood on the solid ground again.

They returned to Chi Xian's office.

"Brother," Chi Xian's voice rang in Jiang Jibei's ears, "23 minutes have passed since we entered the movie."

Jiang Jibei still had no sense of reality, and confirmed: "Are you sure this is the real world?"

"I'm not sure, just believe what the pickled cabbage fish said for now." Chi Xian observed the corridor with the monitor, and the corridor was empty, even the original staff and guards were gone.

In the projection of the desk, the rapidly approaching dense red dots disappeared on the circle with a radius of twelve nautical miles centered on the island, and occasionally a few points crossed the circle.

The ground trembled slightly.

"The battle is still going on, and the range defense device on the island is activated." The door of Chixian's control office opened a crack, "The corridor is so quiet."

Jiang Jibei walked quickly to the door, poked the probe, and really couldn't see anyone: "Maybe they have all been transferred to the ground. Taking this opportunity, let's go to the fourth basement to rescue pig belly chickens. What is the route arrangement?" ?”

Chi Xian was stunned for a while: "No matter what the route arrangement is, you need to take the elevator to go up and down the floors."

Jiang Jibei was also taken aback. Taking the elevator is a very common thing, but now they can't confirm the safety of taking the elevator: "Is there a dark entrance and stairs connecting the up and down? It's like you take me to the restaurant from here Like the secret passage in the bathroom."

From Chi Xian's mouth, Jiang Jibei had a general understanding of the island's underground facilities. The first floor was more than 40 meters high, and he walked back and forth through secret passages to the laboratory. Maybe the battle was over.

"As part of the emergency passage, the secret passage is guarded." Chi Xian pulled out a wire from the desk and connected it to the cleaning robot in the corner of the living room. "I'll try it with the robot and let it explore the way."

The camera of the robot is connected to the brain and displays the picture ahead.

Through the winding corridor, the robot came to the elevator entrance. The aisle with ten elevator doors was full of people waiting for the elevator. They were all staff members who were preparing to go deeper into the island.

Chi Xian and Jiang Jibei stood at the door of the office, watching the robots "squeak and hum" squeeze into the crowd through the brain projection.

There was no reaction from the people. Everyone stood like a sculpture, not even looking at the robot that appeared inexplicably.

"Strange." Chi Xian whispered, letting the robot shuttle back and forth among the crowd.

When no one responded, the robot beeped and sprayed cleaner over the crowd.

Still no one tried to dodge, and the corridor was as quiet as the opening scene of a horror movie.

Just when Chi Xian quickly thought that this was another horror movie, Jiang Jibei asked suspiciously: "Is it possible that on the fourth underground floor, pickled fish let everyone enter the movie's live-action system?"

Just like what Chi Xian said to Pickle Fish, use the loophole to affect everyone within the effective range of the real scene device.

But is the pickled fish so powerful?

Jiang Jibei thought about it a little, and immediately realized that he should think in reverse—now it is more likely that the live-action film device allowed everyone in the range to enter the "movie", and the pickled fish only ejected the two of them.

After Jiang Jibei finished his thoughts, Chi Xian nodded in agreement: "The direction of radiation from the device is not only upwards, but also downwards. According to your guess, people from the ground to the first underground floor may be affected."

"There is a high degree of automation here, and the short suspension of the staff may not attract the attention of the deep layer. But in fact, not many people know what is in the deep layer and who is doing what. We need to confirm the impact boundary of the device, so as to plan our actions."

Having said that, he pressed the button, and the office door gradually opened from only a crack to open: "Brother, let's go out."

"it is good."

Chi Xian took Jiang Jibei out of the office, and the door slowly closed behind them.

They made it to the elevator, which was flashing red emergency lights, and every floor had been unlocked.

Chi Xian turned his head and looked at Jiang Jibei: "I said before that we can't cut off the energy of the defense facilities with our strength, and it may be different now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a reminder to reach the ground popped up on the elevator display screen.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Jibei saw an endless queue.

Like stone men, they maintain a rigid posture with weapons in hand.

"I didn't expect Feb to keep so many private soldiers." Jiang Jibei curled the corner of his lower lip expressionlessly, with sarcasm in his words.

Chi Xian glanced around vigilantly: "I heard that there are three floors of troops and three floors of material supply centers."

As soon as he finished speaking, a militant on the left side of the queue silently leaned forward, knocking down a large group of people like dominoes.

Maybe something happened to him in the live action film system...

At this moment, the door of the other elevator suddenly opened.

The two took a step back vigilantly. Before they could draw out their weapons, they saw three people leaning upright in the elevator.

It seemed that the people coming up would also be affected, Jiang Jibei glanced at them, and turned back to the elevator with Chi Xian.

I have seen the anti-seismic structure layer on the second basement level and the dispatching level on the third basement level, and the elevator stops on the fourth basement level.

The door of the compartment opened, and the two looked inside at the same time.

The confronting two sides solidified into a contrasting oil painting. Armed guards lined up neatly at the door, pointing rows of guns at the people in the passage.

Someone put on a white coat and fell sideways. There was a pool of blood in the white coat, and it seemed that he was hit while trying to escape.

Something unexpected happened here, Jiang Jibei pursed his lips: "Go down and have a look first."

The situation on the eighth underground floor looked very strange. Although everyone was frozen in place, the muscles on their faces could not stop twitching, as if they were having a nightmare.

"It seems that the eighth floor is the boundary of the device's range of influence." Chi Xian deduced.

Jiang Jibei responded, lowering his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother." After two seconds of silence, Chi Xian suddenly called him.

"Huh?" Jiang Jibei was still immersed in his own thoughts, and responded casually.

"The ninth floor underground is where Uncle Jiang lives." Chi Xian paused, "Do you want to go and see it?"
