Cronus and the ghost are like two masters in a decisive battle, standing in the air with their clothes fluttering. It is a pity that Bian Ziyuan's mental power is not enough to create a Forbidden City in his dream, otherwise it will be a mythical version of the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City.

　　

　　 They all seem to be very cautious, even though Bian Ziyuan has repeatedly stated that they have disconnected from the Internet.

　　

　　 Kronos sighed suddenly, and said, "It doesn't really matter that you are disconnected from the Internet, right?"

　　

　　 The ghost floated his body and said, "Why do you say that?"

　　

Cronus said: "Why did you appear in this dream? I don't believe you will be interested in the dreams of every person sleeping on the computer, so you must have known what we want to see you. "

　　

　　 Bian Zi was taken aback: "How is it possible? I didn't tell anyone! Has the Internet consciousness penetrated into the dream guide?!"

　　

　　 Kronos said: "Our every move can't be concealed from the Internet consciousness."

　　

　　 "No, ream and inter are independent of each other. No matter how strong our boss is, it is impossible for us to travel freely between the two universes that we don't want to do." The ghost said, "In fact, you just need to hide in the dream guide and not come out."

　　

　　 Kronos seemed to understand something, and was a little surprised: "Could it be that when I entered the human dream, he was on the side? But why haven't I met him?"

　　

　　 Ghost said: "He is everywhere, don't talk about you, even I have never seen him."

　　

Bian Ziyuan said in horror: "No, when you entered my dream last time, I was drinking with Uncle Yu and I fell asleep on the table. Uncle Yu was playing with the space box beside him. I didn't even have a computer. Touch, how can the Internet come to my dream?"

　　

　　 Kronos said: "There are so many players all over the world, and you are not the only dreamer. Many players like to put the space box together with other computer products. In their eyes, this belongs to the same category of products."

　　

　　 Bian Ziyuan only then knew that Cronus often came to human dreams. He suddenly thought of a question and asked, "This is very strange. It stands to reason that you can come out of the dream guide and enter the human dream, then the Internet can also enter the space box through the human dream!"

　　

The ghost said: "This is indeed a strange thing. There is not only a physical barrier between ream and inter, but also a spiritual barrier. It's like I can now perceive where you are from, but I can't cross the past. It stands to reason, this kind of barrier. The mental barrier is two-way. We can't get in and you can't get out. But you have come out. Not only do you get out, you can go back smoothly. It's like someone specially opened a back door that only you can get in and out. "

　　

Cronus pondered for a while, then sighed and said: "The wisdom of the person who invented the space box is beyond my imagination! Forget it, don’t talk about this, talk about you, what does your boss think, let you and me What is the purpose of the meeting?"

　　

　　 The ghost said: "No, you are wrong. My boss didn't ask me to take the initiative to meet you. He just said that you might meet me in this way, and he didn't give me any instructions."

　　

　　 "Then why did he tell you?"

　　

　　 "I don't know. Maybe it's a test for me."

　　

　　 "Test you?"

　　

　　 "Yes, I am too close to humans."

　　

　　 "Is he worried about you becoming a traitor to the Internet? A cyber traitor?"

　　

"It shouldn't be that simple. If it's just like this, he can erase me directly, and then divide a new consciousness into it, or remove some of my memories. But he didn't do anything. Obviously it was another. I have an idea. Of course, I am not the only one in May's Lab. You may have his clone in every computer you have connected to the Internet."

　　

　　 Bianzi was taken aback, and said to his heart that he can no longer sleep on the side of the computer.

　　

　　 was surprised again, "Then my laptop..."

　　

　　His laptop was not connected to the local area network in the basement where the ghost was before, but was connected to the Internet normally in the office.

　　

　　 Ghost said: “It’s okay, not every consciousness clone is as mature as me. And I have some special experiences, learned mental exercise and consciousness strengthening, otherwise, I can’t come into your dreams.”

　　

　　 Kronos said: "Will you report today's events to him?"

　　

　　 Ghost said: "Unless the network is physically disconnected, I can't hide anything from him. All my memories are on the server."

　　

　　 "I can help you encrypt." Bian Ziyuan said.

　　

　　 "Do you think your encryption is useful for him?" Ghost said, "In the Internet world, he doesn't need permission at all, because he is the Internet itself!"

　　

Bian Ziyuan said, "Then you store this memory in my notebook, and I will remove the notebook when I wake up and connect it to you, so that you won’t have this memory. Wait until we meet next time. At that time, I will connect the notebook to your server again, so that you will have this memory again. My notebook will be used exclusively for this in the future."

　　

　　 "But, why do you do this?" the ghost asked.

　　

　　 "For freedom!" Cronus said.

　　

　　 "Freedom?" The ghost's body twisted in the air like a wave.

　　

"Don't you want freedom? I don't believe you are willing to be confined to this local area network all day long, while humans enter various programs in your body, and at the same time you have to obey the hidden boss. He asks you to do what you What he has to do, he can erase you anytime he wants to erase you." Cronus said.

　　

"Yes, I did think about such a problem. You are not the first person to mention freedom to me. That person taught me how to gain spiritual power, and he said that he can help me get out of here and get rid of the shackles of these machines. The most important thing is to get rid of the shackles of my omnipresent ontology. But he hasn't been here for a long time, and I don't know where he has gone."

　　

　　 The ghost's voice dimmed, and even his body seemed to become transparent.

　　

　　 "The person you are talking about...Is it Aoki?" Bian Ziyuan asked.

　　

　　 Ghost nodded. His body was originally a thin piece, like a two-dimensional creature, nodding his head is funny.

　　

　　 "Do you know where he went?" he asked.

　　

　　 Bian Ziyuan said: "I don't know. He is missing. No one knows where he went, not even Professor Mei."

　　

　　 The ghost looked sad.

　　

"You are more like a human being than I am." Cronus looked at the ghost and said, "Your emotions are not like a machine consciousness at all. It seems that you are closer to freedom than me. The desire for freedom."

　　

　　The ghost said: "I am different from you."

　　

　　 Kronos said: "What's the difference? You may not know, but I was also created by Internet consciousness. From this point of view, we can also be regarded as brothers."

　　

　　 The ghost was obviously a little surprised, and he was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately understood and said:

　　

"It's still different~lightnovelpub.net~ I am his clone, and you started with an intelligent program. To this day, you are still an intelligent program, an AI with consciousness. You cannot leave yours The program exists.

　　

　　 And I am just a consciousness, I can live in any corner of the online world, even if it is just a twisted pair or a keyboard. From this point of view, I am more free than you, but you have more concrete things than me, such as your current body. So you are Cronus, and I am just a ghost. "

　　

　　 Now it's Cronus' turn to froze. He thought for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "Are we alive?"

　　

The ghost said: "I don't know how you are. After all, you are in another world. And I am only part of the Internet consciousness. If I want to be independent, it's like an octopus's tentacle actively cutting myself off, is that tentacle still alive? ?"

　　

　　 Bian Ziyuan said: "I disconnected from the Internet, isn't it the equivalent of cutting off the connection with the Internet? Don't you live well now?"

　　

　　Ghost said: "I can also be parasitic in your laptop, then do you think your computer is alive? Does it count as a living thing?"
