I said I would turn back time

Chapter 384 Network and Choice

I saw Lin Xing’s biography today. Isn’t this record made up?

Can't you see the moon is so big in the sky? It was Lin Xing's moon landing that triggered a surge of inspiration, which ultimately led to the improvement of the national strength and opened the door to a new era.

Lin Biao is really unfaithful. When the New Kingdom executes Lin Xing in the East China Sea, I wonder how you can still be so stubborn.

# Serial murder incident in Xihai City, Xia Kingdom # Speechless, the death toll has risen to 52 people. It is said that the prisoner is a boxing instructor in the New Kingdom army, and excessive training in the spiritual acupoint aggravated his mental illness. Many people had reported him for beating people indiscriminately before, but the local security bureau did not dare to arrest people...

Why are children now forced to study? Don’t you want to practice cultivation when you grow up? Which job today does not require technical skills? The children in the mirror world have only cultivated since they were young, and they can become as strong as clouds, and they can beat you on the head...

I finally got off work, and I don’t know when I can have a holiday.

Many viewers have been sending private messages asking me to tell you the secrets of meditation skills. Today’s video is to teach you how to enter samadhi within ten minutes...

Dad, the application fee for spiritual points is 50,000, I think it’s better to forget it.

The moon landing over the Great Light Buddha seems to have discovered something. Do I need to report it to the President?

Mo Xingyi, the dormitory manager asked me to remind you to turn off the air conditioner when you go out. Your electricity bill this month is too high.

News, videos, comments, messages, private messages, conversations, communications... countless information is continuously transmitted on the Internet, which ultimately triggers changes in the thinking and emotions of countless people in reality, and then generates more information on the Internet.

At this moment, 'she' is immersed in the torrent formed by countless network information, sensing the changes in the entire world with her boundless consciousness.

"who are you?"

"How is she doing now?"

Lu Ming opened his mouth and asked.

Lu Ming, former head of Donghai Quantum Intelligence Research Institute.

Although six years have passed since the great changes in the world, Lu Ming did not spend much time on training, and now he has only mastered the first generation of soldiers.

On the one hand, it is naturally because of his mediocre talent and his inability to make much progress in cultivation.

On the other hand, he himself gave up all his cultivation resources because of his old age.

"It is impossible for our generation to catch up with the powerful people in the mirror world."

"But the new generation of people who are inspired by it have a chance to catch up with the intensity of the Mirror World."

"We old people will do the logistical work for them so that they can move forward."

In Lu Ming's heart, these generations of old people who were born before the great changes in the world could not reverse the situation of being suppressed by the powerful powers of the Mirror World.

But twenty years later, thirty years later, or even fifty years later, when the generations of new blood born after the great changes in the world have grown up, and accumulated over many generations, the Xia Kingdom will definitely be able to compete with the powers in the mirror world in the future. Capital.

And what they, the old people of the past, have to do is be patient.

After becoming the director of the Security Department of Donghai City, he has tried his best to maintain a fragile balance between the two worlds in the past few years, striving to give the new generation of Xia Kingdom more time and space to practice.

All the forbearance, sadness and helplessness make him look ten years older now.

Today, he came to the Cybersecurity Bureau for another problematic person that he has been unable to get over.

Following Lu Ming's question, the security director in front of him sighed helplessly: "In the first year after the great change in the world, since Lin Xing disappeared, she lost her physical body and transformed into a spirit state, so she worked harder and harder to develop her abilities. ability."

"In this year, even though she has no body, her application of abilities has been advancing by leaps and bounds. She has gradually mastered the ability to directly connect to wireless networks with brain waves. She can even determine the physical location of a target through the network and cast a curse."

"Starting from the second year, she was connected to the Internet for more than 15 hours a day. Three months later, she was able to stay connected to the Internet 24 hours a day."

"Since that time, a large amount of information has been pouring into her brain from the Internet every day. All kinds of news, hot searches, trends, quarrels... are happening in her sea of ​​​​consciousness at the same time."

"Initially it made her very agitated and she was in an angry state throughout the day."

"And her growing dissatisfaction with the situation and her growing disgust for the many powerful people in the Mirror World began to make her extremely aggressive on the Internet."

"She began to speak a lot on the Internet every day. At her peak, she opened more than 50,000 accounts, left more than a million messages a day, and conducted malicious attacks on tens of thousands of netizens..."

Lu Ming looked at the large number of screenshots displayed on the screen in front of him. A small part of them were reasonable arguments, but most of them were all kinds of insulting insults.

"After discovering that her mind was gradually losing control, we had to try to disconnect her from the internet."

"But the situation is worse than we imagined. Because of the excessive amount of information received, her consciousness has already overflowed from the sea of ​​consciousness to the Internet. Only when she is connected to the Internet can the integrity of her consciousness be guaranteed. Once the Internet is disconnected, she will The memory and consciousness are confused.”

"By then, not only may her mental state have unpredictable problems, but there may also be countless crazy people on the Internet."

"So we try another approach..."

"According to our research, the reason why she has such violent mood swings is that on the one hand, massive amounts of network data continue to pour into her mind every day, and on the other hand, it is because she lacks physical restraint, making her more sensitive and More emotional.”

"So we tried to make a new body for her."

In the video, an artificial body is created, which uses mechanical devices for physical contact and perception, electrical signals to transmit sensory information, and artificial skin to maintain aesthetic appearance... This is a device that strives to provide all human body feelings.

"Although it is far from a real physical body, it is at least a body."

"Two months after being connected to the artificial body, her mood gradually began to stabilize, and she was even able to help process some of Donghai City's AI data."

"After multiple psychological and mental state assessments at the time, we thought she had gradually returned to normal, but was able to see the data obtained from the network from a more detached perspective..."

Listening to what the security director said, Lu Ming said calmly: "Did you really not expect it? Or do you want to use her to process data too much?"

The security director's face showed a look of shame: "Director Lu..."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "I don't mean to embarrass you. It has not been easy for everyone in the past few years. I know that your annual budget is not enough, but I came to you today because I hope you will tell me the truth. Let's continue."

The security director nodded and continued: "After possessing the new artificial body, she will try to perform some ordinary people's activities under our advice to maintain the stability of her consciousness."

"She will even come to the cafeteria to eat like an ordinary person every day, take a walk in the park from time to time, receive a delivery, or go to the gym for a couple of runs and take a shower."

"But starting from the fifth year after the Great Change, she went out less and less often and spent more and more time in bed."

"The cafeteria gradually disappeared, and we started delivering meals to her bedside, but she ate less and less."

"She kept discarding things in the room, including her original clothes, dolls, books and other personal belongings."

"Starting this year, she stopped talking to people in real life, and even her online messages dropped sharply. Now, except for tasks, she has not communicated with anyone in real life or online for more than half a year."

"Then...this..."

Following the security director's operation, a surveillance video began to fast forward on the screen.

In an almost empty white bedroom.

The girl was lying on the bed, as if she had fallen into a state of stillness.

Only the figures that kept flickering in and out, the changing meals on the bedside, and the staff trying to talk to her still told the passage of time.

But in the silent passage of time, the girl never got up from the bed.

And her body began to gradually become dim and transparent.

All this made Lu Ming feel as if... the girl was originally like a deep mark carved on a rock, deeply carved into reality.

But with the passage of time and the weathering of the rock, the girl, like the carving, gradually became shallower and smaller, and finally disappeared from this world.

The security director said: "...We don't know what new sublimation power she has mastered. In short...her traces in the physical world have begun to disappear."

He took out a document and sent it to Lu Ming: "This was the last communication we had three days ago, and she has never responded to us since then."

The cover of the document reads Mental Health Assessment Report, and below is the name of the tester—Zhao Wanxi.

Lu Ming had read the report beforehand. According to the description, Zhao Wanxi's consciousness was like a drop of water, and the huge amount of network information she was exposed to throughout the day was like a sea.

With the impact and erosion of the seawater day after day, the water droplets will eventually completely melt into the seawater, and Zhao Wanxi will also lose all human emotions and gradually become an extremely rational mechanized existence.

Lu Ming asked: "What is the worst result?"

The security director said with a gloomy face: "She will completely abandon the material world and exist in the network as a digital life."

"But as to what her mental state will be like at that time...Whether Zhao Wanxi's personal consciousness is dominant, or whether she is affected by the massive data in the Internet and forms a brand new personality...we are not sure."

"But no matter what, her loss of control may trigger a major crisis."

"Ever since she created her third inheritance, her control over the network has surpassed that of any expert or department."

"Nowadays, not only can she move freely in the public network, she can even cross physical barriers, pass through different channels and frequency bands at will, and can sneak into any private network to transmit data."

"As long as she is willing, she can even easily master all AI weapons in the world and control satellites, missiles, and drones of various countries..."

Lu Ming knew that in the past six years, in order to fight against and suppress the powerful individuals of various major forces, various countries have been developing various drones, robots, and laser technologies...

These weapons aimed at individual strong men all need to be assisted by military networks and AI.

Once these things are in the hands of an unknown individual, the entire world will be in crisis.

"Let me try talking to her."

In the room, the girl who still looked rosy and looked like a living person under the disguise of artificial body was lying quietly on the bed.

But Lu Ming looked at the sleeping girl and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Zhao, is the real world so unworthy of your nostalgia?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

silence.

There was no response.

After Lu Ming finished speaking, the whole room fell into an extreme silence.

Just when everyone outside the room thought that this communication attempt had failed again, Lu Ming's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, looked at the unknown number on it, his eyes moved slightly, and he chose to answer: "Hello?"

"it's me."

As the girl's cold voice without any emotion came through, Lu Ming took a deep breath and said: "Xiao Zhao..."

The other party interrupted Lu Ming's words and said bluntly: "Xinguo is putting pressure on Donghai City, asking you to search for Zhao Ping's traces and provide relevant surveillance data. Are you here to ask me for help?"

Lu Ming frowned and said, "Xiao Zhao, you know I'm not here to talk about this."

Zhao Wanxi's tone was extremely calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter in life: "Zhuge Fan, Kong Qisheng, Jing Shaoyi and other twelve people a year ago, Si Shuqiu, Fu Zhishan, Zeng Li two years ago..."

When Lu Ming heard this, his heart moved slightly: "Could it be that Zhao Wanxi's change is not like the judgment in the report, but comes from the collapse of personality under the impact of big data, gradually becoming ruthless and mechanized, but the impact of too much reality, which makes Is her personality too much to bear?”

He shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Xiao Zhao, do you think I did this willingly? But if I don't do this, how can we have peace today? Buy time and give the younger generations more time and space to practice, so that we can It is possible to fight them in the future..."

Zhao Wanxi's response seemed extremely cruel and rational: "Patience cannot make you stronger."

"According to my data analysis over the past six years, in the world after the great changes in the world, the strong will squeeze the weak, and the weak will squeeze the weaker. Only by using force freely on the weaker can practitioners have the chance to become stronger."

"In today's era, the greatest significance that everyone in this world has for the powerful people in the mirror world is to become the object of their trampling, insult, and pretentiousness. It achieves the spiritual satisfaction and breakthrough of these powerful people and turns them into powerful nutrients. "

"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Xia State to catch up with Xin State."

"The only chance is to wait...wait for Lin Xing's return."

"Lin Xing?" Lu Ming was slightly startled when he heard the name. He had not heard these two words for too long.

Although the moon hangs in the night sky every day, those two names are like the moonlit sky blocked by layers of tall buildings, making it difficult for ordinary people to see them.

"But it's a pity that even this last chance...is gone in this world now."

The more Lu Ming listened, the more he had a bad feeling: "So what do you want to do?"

The girl's voice was still cold, but what she said made Lu Ming shudder.

"According to my deduction, if all spiritual caves within a radius of ten kilometers are turned into biological restricted areas, it can block the flow of most humans in the two realms."

"Destroy all governments in this world, and the remaining survivors in this world will naturally go through rounds of competition between the weak and the strong, and compete to become strong enough to rival the Immortal Emperor, and have the power to compete with the mirror world..."

Just when Lu Ming's back was almost soaked with cold sweat, the girl changed the topic: "But does all this have any meaning?"

"The weak are defeated by the strong, and the strong are defeated by the stronger."

"And all the creatures in this world are just playthings in the hands of Xianting."

"When the current world can compete with the mirror world, it means that this place has become another mirror world."

Although the other party's tone was extremely calm, Lu Ming still felt a deep sense of despair.

Inside Mo Xingye's dormitory.

Lin Xing looked at the abrupt red fonts on the phone screen, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

He entered into the search box: "Junior sister?"

The search page jumped, and a line of red font also appeared in the first search result: Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi died together on the moon. Who are you?

There was a soft snap.

I saw a slender palm stretching out from Lin Xing's body and pressing vigorously on the phone screen.

"Silly apprentice, who do you think is dead?"

"With my peerless wisdom, how could I teach such a stupid apprentice like you?"

"Oh, I can't blame you. You haven't been with me to guide you all the time in the past six years. It's understandable that you were brought up like this."

"Stop talking, are you an internet expert now? Give me some black money that won't be discovered first..."

As Bai Yiyi kept typing on her phone, the other party remained silent and did not respond.

But soon the webpage on the phone screen flashed, and a video popped up.

A male corpse was lying on the workbench, surrounded by several people who were constantly conducting some kind of tests on the corpse.

"This is the corpse of Lin Xing found by the Great Bright Buddha on the moon."

"So...who are you?"

Bai Yiyi was slightly shocked when she saw this scene: "Where did Guangming Buddha find this thing? Why don't I remember what corpses we left on the moon?"

Broken Sword mocked: "During that battle, ninety-nine percent of the time you couldn't see anything clearly, and you couldn't sense anything. What could you know?"

Bai Yiyi, who was exposed, said angrily: "Shut up, Lao Deng! Our master and apprentice are reminiscing about the past, there is no place for you to interrupt with a sword!"

Lin Xing looked at the content in the video with great interest: "Little Buddha's people moved very fast, and they even found this."

"Junior sister, you can even steal videos sent from the moon. It seems that your abilities have improved a lot in the past six years. I'm afraid you now know a lot about Immortal Court, right?"

"So the real doubt in your mind may not be about my identity."

"But you feel that even if Lin Xing really returns to the earth, he will not be able to change the world."

"Is it because Xianting... is invincible?"

This time the other party was not silent, but seemed to ask a question in his heart: "Okay, then I don't care whether you are Lin Xing or not, or which Lin Xing you are. Since we are talking about Xianting, I will ask you a question. ."

"Did you lose your cultivation on the moon? Is your sublimation power that could have reincarnated me and resurrected the dead gone?"

Faced with Zhao Wanxi's question, Lin Xing nodded slightly: "The three sublimations of Sanxian have indeed been greatly weakened by Xianting. As I said at the beginning, I can't be sure how long it will take before I can help You borrow a corpse to bring back a soul."

"Perhaps just like when I selfishly took you away from the Zhao family, my arrangement for you six years ago was ultimately based on selfishness."

"I am not willing to kill you against my own will."

"So I put the pressure of choice on you."

"And this pressure may be too heavy for you."

After a long silence, a girl's voice rang from the phone: "Brother, I don't blame you."

"All of these are my own choices, derived from my own personality and thoughts. Even if I were to choose again, I would rather be awake in such pain than have the ignorant happiness of a mortal."

Lin Xing smiled slightly and sighed: "It seems that both of us, brother and sister, are equally stubborn and selfish. We are unwilling to give in to our own will for the future. Maybe this is the fate of the strong in this world."

Zhao Wanxi said: "So, senior brother, you know that you may lose to Xianting, but you still have to resist."

"Even if it may cost countless lives or even lead to the destruction of both worlds, you will not give up because you have always placed your will above the world."

Lin Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and said: "It seems that you have grown a lot in the past six years, and you dare to say such things to me."

"But maybe you are right. Even if I really lose to Xianting in the future, I will not change my choice at this moment."

"Then junior sister, how do you choose?"

"Do you want to stop me again, want to... become my enemy?"
