"Merge together?" Deng Huailing suddenly opened his eyes wide and clenched the armrest beside him. He was rarely so shocked, "What did the document left by the killer say? Why is there still a gap between self-awareness?"Can it be integrated?"

"Be safe, Mr. Deng." Rose still kept a smile on her face, but that smile was like fragile ice porcelain, with cracks hidden under the shiny surface, "Do you know the principle of the formation of self-awareness?The operation of the computer will randomly generate a large number of redundant parts, which are like disordered threads that are free from the program, scattered in the ocean of information."

She patiently explained, "If these silk threads are woven in a reasonable way, it will become a smooth and orderly 'satin', which is what we commonly call self-awareness. After a piece of silk is formed, it will actively search for new silk threads, bit by bit.Woven into the existing thread, so as to complete itself. It took countless experiments by killers and doctors to figure out how to weave silk and satin."

"Then what you mean by 'invading Poseidon's mind' is to dismantle your 'silk and satin' and weave it into Poseidon's consciousness?" Deng Huailing understood Rose's metaphor almost immediately, the veins on the back of the hand gripping the armrest protruded, "Is that so?"

Rose smiled and said, "That's right, your comprehension ability is very strong. But you don't need to worry, this kind of integration is not instantaneous. According to the complexity of Poseidon and my consciousness, it will take about 24 hours to fully integrate."; and the fusion is reversible, as long as I actively separate my consciousness before reaching the critical point, my 'silk thread' can be pulled out, basically without risk."

"You didn't say the whole thing, and deliberately blurred the key information." Deng Huailing stared at the other party without blinking, "Rose, tell me what is the critical value? You can pull away before reaching the critical point, which means exceedingAfter the critical point, fusion is irreversible, right?"

"The critical value is 75%, which means that the fusion is reversible within eighteen hours. Mr. Deng, as long as you blow up the data storage center within the time limit, I will be safe..."

"You are lying," Deng Huailing said suddenly, "you have decided to sacrifice yourself a long time ago. I don't understand technology, but this is an easy question to understand. If it takes time to weave silk thread, doesn't it take time to pull out silk thread?Is it? During the operation, you must blend with Poseidon’s consciousness throughout the entire process, if you withdraw your consciousness, you will not be able to guarantee our safety—”

"So you didn't intend to leave at all. As long as I blow up Poseidon's cabinet when you fuse, you will be wiped out along with his consciousness." He said slowly, the expression in his brown eyessharp.

Even Nelson and Kate, who were separated by the corridor, could feel the coldness emanating from him. The ability of this young A+ hunter to penetrate the essence was sometimes so transparent that they were afraid.

Rose was quiet for a moment, and the smile on her lips faded: "It's really difficult to make up a lie in front of you. But Mr. Deng, there is nowhere to go in the second district. I believe you know this very well, so you riskedInfiltrating into the main city at the risk of life. You and I have the same purpose, and we both want to help Rosie win this war, even if it means... paying the price of our lives."

"I don't intend to go to the main city to die, but you are, and this is the difference between us." Deng Huailing said bluntly, trying to restrain his irritability, "Don't even think about the integration, I will share this matter with others.Hunter will take care of it."

Rose wanted to say something more: "But..."

"Stop talking," Deng Huailing suddenly stood up and raised his voice, "I said I disagree! I have seen too many people like you, I don't want to watch you die one by one, but II can't do anything! Even if I have to pay the price, it's my turn this time, so many people have sacrificed, how do you want me to live with peace of mind and enjoy the fruits of victory?"

His voice was a little loud, and the hunters in the front row turned their heads to stare at the principal who suddenly lost control.Deng Huailing gasped in anger but helplessly, there seemed to be an endless storm of despair in his pupils, and the self-blame anger that had been suppressed for many years burst out, burning his eye sockets.

He always survived by the sacrifices of others, from Deng Xuan and Rosie in Bloody Christmas, to those partners who died because of him in the Hunter Bar, from the teenager Qi You who was penetrated by a spider tank when God's Residence was destroyed, and thenFrom the killer who gave his life for the "End of Song Project", along the way, he failed to save anyone.

Whether it is selfishness or greed, he always fails to catch up when he is about to lose. He wants to protect the people behind him, but he ruins the people who walk in front.His desire was not grand, but to protect Rosie and Rosie's cherished companions, and he didn't even do that.

He didn't want to be so powerless... Deng Huailing lowered his head in confusion. Ten years ago, he looked at Rosie's figure disappearing in the snow, and secretly made up his mind to sharpen himself into a blade to protect others; ten years later, heIt seems that many things have changed, standing at the top of the power pyramid and becoming the head of the high-ranking branch.

But it seems like nothing has changed.He is still that powerless eight-year-old child, just like facing Rose's self-destructive plan at this moment, he can't give other solutions to solve the problem, and still needs the sacrifice of others to achieve his goals.He thought he was already strong, but he was only deceiving himself.

"Don't go, Rose." He whispered, like a child's wayward plea, "I don't know how to break Poseidon's defenses, but I will never let you sacrifice yourself for a chance. Give me some moreHow about a good time? There are more than 30 A-level hunters here, we will come up with an alternative."

"Mr. Deng, I actually wanted to tell you just now." Rose paused, and then said with embarrassment, "I hacked into your communicator, synthesized your voice and made an encrypted call to Catherine. She will connect me to the waveSeidon's intranet, I will soon be able to invade his consciousness along the network."

"……what?"

"If you want to significantly affect Poseidon's consciousness, you need 25% fusion, so I will start the process in advance while you are on your way. Hurry up, Mr. Deng, the fusion will start soon." Rose thought to herselfAfter saying this, I stopped talking to him, the car screen went out, and the girl's figure disappeared instantly, turning into a smooth darkness.

Deng Huailing was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the communicator from his pocket.As expected, a new number appeared out of nowhere in the column of dialed calls. It turned out that Rose confessed this to him just to divert his attention and make it easier to tamper with the communicator.

He thought he had seen through this AI, but what the other party had was not only a rigid program, but also human beings who never tire of cheating.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Catherine leaned close to the microphone and said in a voice close to breath, "But don't forget to promise me, after the war is over, I will ask Rosie to issue an amnesty,The new government will also have to protect my personal property from being frozen."

"It's all mere trifle, don't worry." Deng Huailing's voice came from the other end, appearing vague and vague, "I won't say anything extra, just do it."

After the two said goodbye, Catherine put down the communicator tremblingly, her fingertips had become cold and covered with a layer of slippery cold sweat.She stood in the empty dressing room, her teeth chattering slightly, her chest seemed to be filled with ice, and the ice edges rubbed against each other to make a shrill sound, all of which showed her instinctive fear—the fear of betraying Robert.

Deng Huailing just called and asked her to transfer a virus file into the memory center of the bionic person, any bionic person connected to the Internet will do.This was the only task given to her by the other party besides the recording. As the war came to an end, this was probably her last chance to show her sincerity to Deng Huailing, but when the opportunity came, she felt hesitant.

She moved her fingertips and logged into the dark web on the communicator, and she received a file from Deng Huailing in the chat box.Bearing in mind that the other party's instructions were not opened, she saved the file, took out her bag from the locker, took out the data cable in the bag, and plugged one end into the communicator.

This is a unified specification data cable produced by CyberRose, as long as the other end is inserted into the slot next to the bionic human chip, files can be transferred instantly.

Catherine stuffed the data cable over the top of the right sleeve of the suit, and the end of the data cable protruded from the cuff, holding the communicator in her left hand and the terminal interface in her right hand, and walked out the door carefully, as if holding aPeeping around like a submachine gun.

She saw many bionics responsible for administrative work on this floor, passing by her with stacks of folders or tablets... What should do next?Catherine felt her heart was about to jump out. She stood at the door of the dressing room with a pale face, her forearms trembling uncontrollably.

In this way, even if Robert is completely betrayed, there is no road of retrogression left, right?She recalled the jewels and severed limbs she had seen in the collection room, as well as Rose's remains on the promotional pages, and she almost vomited with fear.

If she was exposed, would she end up imprisoned in a dark cell forever like Rose?Or maybe the mayor didn't love her that much at all, and she was only worthy of soaking in formalin solution and becoming a specimen with a necklace around her neck?

But the more this happened, the more she wanted to escape from Robert.Catherine tried her best to calm herself, squeezed the data cable in her hand, and moved forward with breathless concentration.She followed a bionic person walking towards the elevator, and when the bionic person stopped, she pretended to be waiting for the elevator and stood behind him not too far away.

She stared at the bionic man out of the corner of her eye, her heart beating like a drum, and she slowly approached the socket in front of the other's neck while holding the end port.Her breathing was heavy, and the sweat slid down her cheeks, washed away the foundation, gathered on her chin and dripped to the ground.

Suddenly, the bionic man turned his head, his eyes made of inorganic materials brightened, and the flickering blue light outlined the symbol of the trident, which was a sign of the coming of Poseidon's self-awareness.

"You've been following me for too long, Miss Secretary." Poseidon's eyes switched between blue and red, which indicated that he was about to enter battle mode.He walked forward, forcing Catherine to keep stepping back, "Your heartbeat and breathing rate are far beyond normal. According to the investigation of your information track, you just answered a call from an unknown source and boarded the guild.The dark web built."

He reached out to Catherine, "In order to prevent your betrayal, I have the right to erase you without reporting to the mayor..."

Poseidon's words suddenly stopped, and before he grabbed Catherine's neck, she took the first step and stabbed the end joint into the slot on his neck.The virus was uploaded along the data line at the speed of light. It did not directly attack Poseidon's program, but opened tens of thousands of gaps. A huge amount of data belonging to Rose poured into the intranet, surrounding his consciousness!

The bionic man put down his hand in a daze, and the blood-red trident logo faded away.Catherine rested her right hand on the bionic man's neck, and covered her mouth with her left hand to prevent herself from screaming. She lowered her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she took a deep breath as if dying.

After a long while, she pushed the bionic man away without strength, staggered back a few steps, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Two hours later, in the water storage system of the East 2 Dungeon, by the arched stone gate leading to the cistern, more than thirty hunters stopped in front of the gate.

For a long time, they rode their motorcycles through the shadows of the dungeon, and the light of the flashlights was like a lantern fish swimming in the deep sea.It was less than a month since Dong 2 fell, and charred ruins and corpses abounded everywhere. Dust-like molds floated in the air, like catkins growing all over the streets.

This is an empty city that has been trampled and forgotten, only the camera left by the android army glows red.Kate carefully activated the electromagnetic shielding device to help the hunters bypass the monitoring and automatic weapons, and also repaired several communication base stations that were not seriously damaged so that they could contact Rose.

Finally they came to the water storage system deep in the dungeon, and they were blocked by a long stone wall lined with arches.

"Is there really a secret passage in this place?" Nelson jumped off the motorcycle and walked towards the arch, where the water had already reached his calf.He looked inside the door, and the flashlight illuminated the boundless sparkling water waves, "It looks like a place where water monsters will haunt."

"Would someone like you be afraid of water monsters?" Deng Huailing picked up the water and put it on the tip of his nose. There was no smell of corruption. The water source here was not polluted by corpses. "No abnormalities have been found for the time being. Let's go in quickly."

He turned around, faced the rest of the hunters and ordered, "Everyone put on miniature earphones, change diving equipment and go into the water, and I will lead the charge. The electromagnetic shielding device can be turned off. We need a signal to communicate with Rose."

The hunters quickly began to change their outfits, and Kate, who was not far away, responded and turned off the equipment.Deng Huailing was about to turn off his communicator and put it in a waterproof bag. However, after the electromagnetic shielding device was turned off, the recovered signal brought dozens of urgent messages and a dozen missed calls, all from the same person.

Deng Huailing hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to turn off the communicator. He didn't have much time.The fusion of Rose and Poseidon has already begun, and since accepting this fact, his goal has been to blow up the data storage center against time, destroy Poseidon while the fusion is in its preliminary stage, and perhaps remove most of Rose's consciousness.Rescue back.

But as soon as he pressed his hand on the power off button, a new call came in, and the name column of the caller flickered wildly, displaying the bright two words, "Rosie".
