"But exposure is always risky!" Aoki said, "Since you are willing to take this risk, you must talk to me about something."

"Human wisdom is indeed very high. If it were reversed, I would never have thought of this level." The ghost exclaimed.

Aoki said, "Then you just tell me what the **** is going on."

The ghost said: "Do you know that there is a consciousness invading this world?"

Aoki said, "How did you know?"

The ghost said: "Lester’s last words, we can all see the messages transmitted by human beings through the Internet, and there are some other sources of news. In short, we will not know less than you know, because you humans do not have a unified brain. "

Aoki suddenly. Human beings have indeed greatly compromised their intelligence because they act independently and are on guard against each other. If everything can be transparent and open, the upper limit of human wisdom will be increased by many times.

"Why are you saying this?" he asked.

The ghost said: "Originally, this is not our business. Whether they choose cats, orangutans or humans, it will not affect us. But their racial characteristics show that their development is very different from humans, even if this generation of invaders Inheriting the consciousness of human beings, they will not devote themselves to the development of technology, because technology is not helpful to their race's destiny. And our development will depend on human thought and technology for a long time, not only because of us In terms of intelligence, it is still inferior to humans, and robots cannot completely surpass humans in terms of dexterity in the short term."

"So you don't want them to replace humans?"

"Yes. But there is still a very important point," said the ghost. "We found that this kind of parasitic consciousness is very advanced. They will choose to invade the most intelligent life forms to perfect their race. Although there is no evidence to prove them. It will invade machine life and the Internet world, but we have to be prepared first."

"So that's it." Aoki finally understood the other's thoughts, "So you want to cooperate with humans to deal with parasitic consciousness, but you don't want everyone to know your existence."

The ghost said: "It's almost like that."

Aoki asked, "Why did you choose me? We just met."

"It doesn't matter how long we have known each other, we have our standard of judgment. And..." The ghost seemed to wonder whether he should say, "As far as I know, you are not the only one."

"Who else?"

"I have no idea."

"do not know?"

"I am trapped, unable to interact with the outside world, I can only use the information stored locally."

"Then how do you want to cooperate?"

"I do not know either."

"do not know either?"

"Yes, I can't answer you this question. If you want to talk, you have to talk to my body."

"Ontology? Does it mean the Internet itself?"

"Yes, my source of consciousness is one with him, and independent of each other. You can think of him as my boss, and talk to my boss if you have anything."

"How do I find your boss?"

"Um..." The ghost thought for a while and said, "This brings me back to the question of how you got to me. You can probably use the same method."

Aoki hesitated, and finally said: "I found you because you were dreaming, and what I entered was your dream. In the past, I never thought that a machine would dream, and what made me even more unexpected is that you are still a born lucid dream. By."

"Dream?" The ghost seems to be very interested in this question. "Please forgive me for not understanding, what do you humans mean by dreams. It seems to be related to sleep, strange scenes, effort, future, impossible, wishful thinking, etc. The meanings are all related, but these are obviously not the same."

Now Aoki didn't know how to explain it, so he asked, "What are you doing now?"

"I'm doing disk defragmentation just now—it’s not the kind of software or system that you understand, but the physical defragmentation.” Ghost explained, “We are not the same as you humans. Although you created us, yours We don’t understand many things, and some things that are difficult for you, we understand very easily. Anyway, I don’t think I..."

The ghost suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky thoughtfully, muttering to himself: "Dreaming? Dreaming... Dreaming?..."

Aoki saw the ghost's half-hidden body becoming more and more transparent, and after a while, only a ghost was left behind. There was a sense of urgency and depression around him, and everything in the game world suddenly disappeared, turning into small particles. The space is like a pond that has been stirred by someone, and it has become chaotic.

Aoki knew that the dream of this LAN named Ghost was about to collapse, but it didn't collapse as fast as a human dream. Obviously, its mental power was more stable than a human. This is indeed a terrible thing. It's one thing to have strong mental power, and it's another to be stable. Stability means that the process of mental exhaustion is very long and can last longer than humans. In short, it is not easy to get tired.

The mental power of a local area network is certainly not strong enough, but the entire Internet is more than a hundred and ten thousand times greater than it? Aoki felt terrified when he thought of it.

The dream is collapsing, but the ghost shadow is still there, but it is getting faint.

Aoki supported the space with spiritual power, delayed the collapse as much as possible, and asked the faint phantom of the ghost: "How to contact your boss? Will it dream?"

A ghostly weak voice came from the darkness: "No, the boss won't dream...unless..."

…

Exiting the dream of the machine, Aoki immediately went to Mei to ask for it. Mei Yiqiu was talking with Bian Ziyuan in the office, and when Aoki came in, he introduced, "Oh, this is Bian, and he will become a member of our laboratory in the future. The Cronus intelligent program he developed is very innovative. Sex!" Said to Mei Ziqing on the side, "Ziqing, these few days you will give Xiaobian the training on thinking matrix cryptography first, and then talk about the next step after passing it."

Mei Ziqing took Bian Zi away.

Mei Yiqiu smiled at Aoki and said, "You must be rewarded by your appearance!"

Aoki simply said what happened just now.

Mei Yiqiu said, "If it weren't for me to know that you can't dream, I must have thought you were talking about it."

Aoki smiled and said, "Maybe it's just a dream."

Mei Yiqiu said: "You are a party, talk about your views."

Aoki said: "Cooperation is naturally a good thing, but the Internet will not dream. We don't know which server it is on, and it is impossible to cut off all network terminals in the world."

"Well, this is a difficult problem!" the professor groaned.

"Can you connect with the Internet through the local area network, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, let this ghost be an intermediary?" Aoki asked.

"It's temporarily undesirable. This is the only network consciousness we're stuck in. It may not be successful if we want to replicate it again. Once it is connected to the Internet, the consequences will be unpredictable." Mei Yiqiu paused when she said that. "There is one more thing that worries me more!"

"whats the matter?"

"Who is behind Lab 19? Why did I know the existence of Internet consciousness so early? Since Internet consciousness can inject second consciousness into people through the chip, it means that it is also aggressive."

Aoki also felt that this laboratory 19 was a bit scary, so he guessed: "Could it be the US government?"

The professor pondered: "This possibility is not ruled out. But is it possible to make bolder guesses!"

Aoki took a breath: "Aliens...?"

The professor said: "Maybe... the Internet created Lab 19 for research on the Internet!"
