Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures

Chapter 149: Witch Collection Project

  Chapter 149 Witch Collection Plan

  No matter what, Princess Xiwei became surprisingly honest after receiving the memories of those persecuted witches.

  Began to be willing to listen to him, even to a surprisingly high degree of obedience, this behavior made Zhao Meng think of a vague word.

  Using Princess Xiwei as the medium, Zhao Meng explored Yin Ji's neural network.

  First of all, the first thing he needs to figure out is why Yin Ji's neural network led him to this world, and what is its purpose?

  Unfortunately, Yin Ji's neural network is very chaotic. Without a unified consciousness, in a complex and chaotic consciousness, trying to find the answer to this question is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

   After all, Yin Ji’s lifespan is unknown, and even the memories and consciousness left in this world are too huge to describe.

  If a human life is compared to a book, then Yin Ji's life is transformed into a book that is hard to put down even a planet.

   And more importantly,

  Yin Ji's head has been damaged, and consciousness, voice, and brain solution are everywhere in this world.

   This is like a book that has been torn apart. It is not easy to read the complete information in it.

   "However! Yin Ji's residual brain still forms a magic net, and it's not like there is no chance of finding the truth."

  Looking at Princess Xiwei who closed her eyes, her chest rose and fell slightly, she had completely entered the magic net and was defenseless, Zhao Meng's brows gradually relaxed.

  At this moment, Princess Xi Wei suddenly screamed and opened her eyes suddenly.

  As the ruling family of the kingdom, Princess Xiwei's eyes are a beautiful purple, but at this moment, these purple eyes are full of horror.

"What's wrong?"

   "I saw a terrible monster in the magic net. They looked like ferocious wolves. I felt that my drawing power from the magic net would attract the monster's attention."

"monster!"

  Zhao Meng asked Princess Xiwei to describe the shape of the monster. Hearing Xi Wei's description, he immediately realized that what Princess Xiwei was referring to was the black beast.

   "The black beast is looking for the witch!" Zhao Meng suddenly thought of the previous Witch Academy war.

   "Why do black beasts hunt witches?"

  Thinking of this question, Zhao Meng comforted Princess Xiwei, and then, under the gaze of the princess, left the house and headed towards the mirror-like Xixi Lake.

  The wooden house fell silent. Princess Xiwei looked at the direction Zhao Meng was leaving with a struggling look on her face, but she calmed down soon.

   "Fate?"

  "The magic net is the beginning and end of all destiny. It is really sad that the world is weaving its own life under the cover of the magic net without knowing it."

  Princess Xi Wei was muttering something to herself, and at this moment, inexplicable pictures were transmitted to her brain along the magic net.

  For a while, her demeanor became indescribable:

   "My choice is right."

   "Only with him can we get the heir who controls destiny..."

  Princess Xiwei's thinking seemed to be affected by something indescribable, and some inexplicable words popped out from time to time.

  …

  At this moment, Zhao Meng had inserted his hand into Xixi Lake, communicating with the neurons in the lake.

  According to the historical legend of the Witch Academy, the first generation of witches was born from the magic net.

  The first generation of witches in the barbaric era, like a god, brought the dawn of civilization to the world,

  The first-generation witch is beautiful and powerful, and she is the incarnation of God in the world.

  Such a powerful existence, in this world, should be the existence of the power class,

  But accompanied by the witch, there are extremely terrifying black beasts.

  The black beasts are endless, and they will not let it go until they devour the witch.

   Fortunately, with the sacrifice and resistance of the first witch, she was about to be swallowed by the black beast.

  The witches found a way to hide themselves from the black beasts, and finally the witch profession was handed down.

  When Zhao Meng saw such a legend, he felt incomprehensible. The relationship between the witch and the magic net was incomprehensible.

   But now that Zhao Meng knows the nature of the so-called magic net, there are new guesses about the relationship between the witch and the black beast.

  The structure of the brain is divided into two parts, matter and consciousness, just like the computer in his previous life is divided into software and hardware.

  Xixi Lake is a part of the brain solution containing a large number of neurons, and most of Yin Ji's neurons are scattered throughout the world to form a magic net.

  Then the first generation of witches is very likely to be the various subjective consciousnesses and memories that Yin Ji split at the beginning.

   It’s just that after the brain structure was destroyed, these consciousness bodies ran out and formed independent individuals.

   "It's incredible!"

  Zhao Meng confirmed his guess through the feedback from Xixi Lake. Such a situation has surpassed his understanding of life.

   "Consciousness can actually be visualized!"

   This made Zhao Meng think of the brain-computer interface technology in his previous life.

  He remembered that before he traveled, he saw that humans had passed the technical test of primate brain-computer interface.

  Some researchers have also fantasized about the future of brain-computer interfaces.

  Uploading consciousness to the Internet and achieving an immersive cyber universe is only the goal of human beings in the near future.

  For the ultimate goal of brain-computer interface, researchers have made many branches and assumptions.

  The most daring hypothesis is that human beings use brain-computer interface technology to use consciousness to intervene in reality, and consciousness is directly embodied in reality. Simply put, the soul is out of the body.

   But to reach that point, it is unknown to what extent technology needs to be developed and what kind of materials can be lodged by consciousness.

   "Yin Ji seems to have reached one of the ultimate goals of the brain-computer interface."

   "Then why did the black beast capture the witch?"

   "Recycling...memories...awakening..."

   Regarding this problem, some vague and chaotic consciousness came from Xixi Lake.

   "Is the existence of the black beast really for this purpose?"

  Although he already had a certain speculation in his mind, Zhao Meng still couldn't calm down when he got this kind of answer from Xixi Lake.

  When human beings recall and read memories, what kind of biological process the brain will go through Zhao Meng is not clear, but Yin Ji's brain that remains in this world, facing the embodied consciousness,

  If it is a memory, the black beast is likely to be a biological process of reading memory. If consciousness can be visualized, then the process of reading memory may not be impossible to materialize.

   "Wait, since Hei Xie is the materialization of some kind of thinking and memory, why is Hei Xie my child?"

"this…"

   "Can thinking and consciousness also..."

   Zhao Meng really couldn't imagine what kind of process it was.

  He remembered an inexplicable sentence: "You not only *defiled my body, but also *defiled my mind."

  He is doing this kind of thing to Yin Ji now, from body to soul, there are traces of him everywhere.

   "If Yin Ji is resurrected one day, then..."

   Zhao Meng suddenly thought of something bad.

   "Help me... Take it back..." At this time, Xixi Lake came out intermittently with a consciousness.

  Although this consciousness was not so clear, Zhao Meng instantly understood what Xixihu wanted to convey.

   "Do you want me to help catch the witch?"

   "But the existing witches are no longer the first-generation witches, so it should be useless to capture them back?"

  For Zhao Meng, who has lived in the Witch Academy for several months, it is inevitable that he still came into contact with some witches.

  During this process, he clearly felt that those witches were all flesh and blood, and many witches were transformed from ordinary people, not a concrete consciousness.

   "They...thieves...lost"

"Thief!"

  Xixi Lake's feedback made Zhao Meng think for a while, and he continued to ask:

   "In other words, the memory of Yin Ji's brain has been in a state of loss, and the power obtained by the witch is absorbing some kind of consciousness energy in the magic net."

   "..."

   Maybe Zhao Meng asked too many questions, and Xixi Lake didn't give an answer right away.

  But the witch's problem was not important to him, so he turned the problem back to the black beast from the beginning.

   "Why does the black beast have anything to do with me?"

   When Zhao Meng asked this question, he was surprised to find that the mirror-like Xixi Lake turned red. Zhao Meng was a little stunned seeing this scene.

  A lake can still blush, which has surpassed Zhao Meng's knowledge.

   "Seed...concrete...seek..."

   "Increase...Concrete...Seek..."

  …

   Facing Xixi Lake's act of begging for seeds, Zhao Meng silently withdrew his hand from the lake, wanting to leave.

   But after thinking about it for a while, he still held back some strange feelings, and put his hand back into the lake.

   "How did you get the seed at the beginning?"

   "Net...beg..."

   "Where did you get it online?"

"…aisle."

   "Then can I get other things online?"

"able!"

   "Can you send me back into the channel?"

   "Seed...beg...witch...take it back"

  …

   Zhao Meng pulled out his arm at once, looking at Xixi Lake, his heart was very complicated,

   Although Xixihu didn't give an accurate answer, he already understood something, but Zhao Meng couldn't easily agree to Xixihu's request.

   "This remnant neuron is also really strange."

  During Zhao Meng's contact, he could feel the chaos and disorder of the consciousness in the lake, but in this chaos and disorder, there was a faint sense of reason.

  However, considering the mysteries of Yin Ji's other remnants, it is normal for this thing to show such a miraculous state.

  …

"You're back!"

  Zhao Meng finally did not agree to anything, and returned to the purple wooden house by the lake.

  Seeing Zhao Meng's return, Princess Xiwei greeted him with a smile on her face, holding a plate in her hand, on which some food was obtained from somewhere.

   Looking at Princess Xi Wei who welcomed him like a wife,

  Zhao Meng was not surprised, but shook his head silently, put the strange-shaped food aside, and then said to Xi Wei:

   "Don't have to do this, go to meditation, practice feeling the magic net."

"yes!"

  Princess Xiwei nodded obediently to Zhao Meng's instructions, turned around and left.

   Looking at Princess Xiwei who has become like this, Zhao Meng sighed slightly.

  Such a change is also the reason why he produced Yin Ji neurons to tell Xi Wei something.

   "Zhao Meng, don't worry, she has that guy and it seems that there will be no problems. This is her territory."

   Ai's voice came to mind in the cloth bag on Zhao Meng's waist.

   "You dare to speak again!"

   "Huh! This is that guy's territory. You humans have a good saying, which is called strong dragons do not suppress local snakes."

  Hearing Ai defending himself, Zhao Meng smiled, but didn't point out anything.

  Since he came to Jiatian Mountain, Pu and Ai have become quiet. As long as he is by the lake, or even Princess Xiwei is beside him, Pu and Ai basically don't talk.

  The wooden house he was in was also built under Puai's suggestion, in order to hide it better.

   "Zhao Meng, don't worry, the human princess will not pose a threat to you." The kind Pu also interjected.

  Seeing that Pu was still showing kindness, Zhao Meng didn't say anything, sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed and practicing.

  With the assistance of Jia Yao, the yang source continuously gathered in his body.

  Zhao Meng discovered that the source of yang in this world is far more abundant than that of the previous world.

  He didn't know the reason for this situation, maybe it was the sun above, or the special location here.

  In short, Zhao Meng felt that his cultivation speed was much faster.

  After settling down on Jiatian Mountain, his cultivation base also began to improve steadily.

   After entrusting the intake of Yangyuan to Jiayao, Zhao Meng recalled the information he had just obtained from Xixi Lake.

"The magic net in this world can send me back to the Maixian channel. I have found a way out. If the suffering masters from the previous world come after me, I have the ability to escape. Fulfill two conditions."

   "The matter of the seeds is easy to solve."

   "The collection of witches is very difficult."

   "According to the information of the magic net, under the hunting of the black beast for many years, there are no different witches close to the Nascent Soul level in this world, so I can complete it as long as I reach the golden core stage, the requirement of the magic net."

"but…"

   Recalling his life in Witch Academia, recalling Tina and Natalie who helped him, Zhao Meng silently shook his head:

   "Is there a way to peel back the lost memories without hurting the witch."

   "Maybe we can find a way from Xixi Lake and Princess Xiwei."

   "There is still a certain amount of time to cultivate to the golden core stage, and this matter can be pondered slowly."

   "It's been a long time since I've done a simulation. Is there such a way in a simulation?"

  …

  Zhao Meng combined the known information and sorted out the current discoveries.

  Unknowingly, another three months have passed. After steady practice, Zhao Meng's cultivation has finally reached the middle stage of foundation establishment.

   And just when Zhao Meng wanted to continue to stabilize his cultivation, there was an inexplicable fluctuation in his heart, it was Xixi Lake calling him.

   I saw that Zhao Meng came to the lake in a flash, and skillfully inserted his hand into the lake.

   Then he got a piece of information from the lake that stunned him:

   "Magic net...channel...triggered."

  Something similar to Yin Ji's power touched the magic net scattered in the channel of Maixian, and the magic net was about to tighten and pull that thing out.
