Chapter 567 "The Fool" is closed?

 Obviously, it was not just the three of them who were disconnected.

Muyou tried to log in to the forum again, and the forum could be used normally.

As expected, there was also a lot of wailing on the forum.

"disconnected?"

 “It’s incredible, this game can actually be disconnected?”

 “What’s going on? The system is under maintenance? Why didn’t the maintenance notify you in advance?”

“What the hell, I was halfway through swiping monsters. If I suddenly disconnected, wouldn’t it kill me?”

“Day, I just spent 20 years of my life in magic class. I just entered the classroom and suddenly it was cut off for me. My life span..."

“Isn’t it reasonable not to give some compensation?”

 “The same compensation announcement…”

“I don’t want too much. One person will be compensated for ten years of life, and everyone will have collective amnesia..."

"support…"

 “Equal compensation +1…”

“What are you guys thinking upstairs? How can billions of players be compensated for their lifespan? Who can get it? The last divine bug was officially faked...”

 …

　　There were all kinds of complaints on the forum.

 Judging from the tone of the players, it is obvious that they are not aware of the seriousness of the problem. They only treat it as a temporary minor problem that will be recovered soon, so most of them are just playing fun.

Even those who really suffered losses due to disconnection actually didn't take it too seriously. It was just a disconnection, and it was not life-threatening. They only lost one year of life at most. For most players, a mere one-year lifespan is really not a big deal. In the heart.

Mu You scanned around and found no one who said they were not offline. It seemed that the whole army was really wiped out this time.

After thinking about it, he meditated on the spot, entered the mind's eye, immersed his consciousness in the causal line, searched along the line, and quickly found the source of the light ball.

However, the light ball at this moment is slightly different from before, but Mu You can't tell the specific difference. The rules and cause and effect contained in this light ball are too complicated and cannot be understood with just one or two eyes.

Leaving the light ball, Mu You quickly found the cause and effect lines of the administrators on the surface of the light ball. Following the cause and effect lines, he quickly found the hiding places of several people's consciousness.

 The administrators were not surprised by his arrival and let him in without any obstruction.

 When he opened his eyes again, Mu You appeared in the familiar underground cave again.

 “Go to the north and have a look…”

"Can not be done…"

“The eighteenth node is also disconnected…”

 …

 Several old men were whispering to each other, with hurried expressions and urgent tones.

 Mu You knew as soon as he saw the situation that they were probably in big trouble.

 “What’s going on?” Mu You asked.

"Not long ago, all our communication lines with Chuangjie Mountain suddenly encountered some kind of strong interference at the same time, causing the Fool's game system to disconnect from Chuangjie Mountain..." Someone finally took the time to answer Mu You.

 “What interference?”

“It’s not clear yet, but it must be a human-made interference.”

 “Man-made?” Mu You frowned, who has so much energy and can interfere with the game system?

The first thing he thought of was the old man who took Dawn City away before.

“No, it’s not him.” The old man immediately shook his head after hearing Mu You’s guess: “Although he does not agree with our ideas, what he does is ultimately for the future of the Fool, and he will definitely not do anything to cut off the hope of the Fool.”

 “Who could that be?”

"I don't know... Now it's not just the Fool's Game that's been interfered with by this force, but our consciousness has also been shielded from Chuangjie Mountain by this force. We can't get in... It feels like, in Chuangjie Mountain It's like a protective shield has been opened around..."

"Shield..." The old man's description made Mu You immediately think of one thing - the host!

Eva, the mastermind of the Garden of Eden, has this thing awakened?

Before contacting him again, he suddenly lost the connection just when he was about to escape from the Garden of Eden. The timing was so coincidental that Mu You had to wonder, was it really artificial intelligence?

“Is there any way to repair it?” Mu You asked.

"I'm trying, but..." The old man smiled bitterly and didn't finish his words, but Mu You already understood the meaning of his words.

 Until this force is withdrawn, they may be unable to do anything.

“What if this interference continues?” Mu You asked.

"Then..." Several people looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

To be honest, they don’t understand the connection rules between the Fool’s Game and the Creation Mountain at all. The cornerstone of the entire Fool’s system is operated by the authority stolen from the Creation Mountain by the previous leaders.

In other words, they are just maintainers, not program creators of the game. I am afraid that only the ancestor leaders who have truly come into contact with the core of Chuangjie Mountain can understand how this works, bypass this interference, and re-establish the connection.

 And it is impossible for them to do this kind of thing, at least not until the next great disaster comes.

Mu You frowned, the situation seemed to be worse than imagined.

The meaning of these people is obviously that the current situation cannot be handled, and if this power exists for a long time, then there is only one ending waiting for the Fool's Game: shutting down the server!

 Is it really possible for a fool to be imprisoned?

Mu You didn’t expect that he would come to such a conclusion this time.

After thinking about it, he left the underground cave and returned to the line of cause and effect. He traced all the way back and soon came back to the light ball representing the Creation Mountain.

Looking at the dazzling orb in front of him, which was as huge as the sun, Mu You concentrated his mind and slowly approached it.

He has never tried to do this before, because the rules of this light ball are too complicated. Compared to this light ball, his size is as insignificant as a needle drifting in the ocean, and he may be overturned by the waves of rules at any time. He didn't dare to take such risks rashly before he understood enough rules.

At this time, he was forced by the situation and had to take the risk.

Consciousness is like a weak firefly, constantly approaching the light ball in front.

Mu You soon felt a kind of warmth, as if a fetus was returning to its mother's arms. Unfortunately, this sense of comfort quickly disappeared, the surroundings became hot, and the discomfort increased.

 Mu You could feel that he was close to the true origin of the rules.

However, before he could feel it clearly, he suddenly felt a hard object that passed quickly and hit him from the side. Under this impact, his consciousness flew far away in a spin, far away from the surface of the light ball again.

Mu You was startled, and hurriedly held his breath again and leaned forward.

 Unfortunately, the result was still the same. When he was about to come into contact with the ball of light, something appeared again and knocked him away.

 Muyou never gave up and kept trying.

After many experiments, Mu You finally saw clearly that what hit him was a ball with a long comet tail. There was not just one, but countless, densely distributed on the surface of the photosphere, like satellites, orbiting around it. The light ball rotates rapidly.

This should be what several administrators called 'interference', but after such a fuss, Mu You figured out that the other party did not really open a barrier to the entire Chuangjie Mountain, but through a large number of these particles It rotates at high speed, creating the illusion of a barrier.     As long as it is not fully covered, there will definitely be a chance to find gaps and break through.

With this belief, Mu You started one round of attempts after another.

However, he soon discovered that these **** not only moved fast, but also seemed to have the ability to predict. No matter how tricky he moved, there was always a ball that could predict his direction and hit him out in time. .

 Mu You continued to try without believing in evil...

I don’t know how long it took, but Mu You suddenly felt his consciousness being dragged out by a force during another impact.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pure white space.

Mu You turned his head and looked around warily, but there was nothing everywhere.

 Until a few seconds passed, a human face quietly appeared in mid-air in front of him.

This seems to be a woman's face, with only the face part, no head and no body. It appears abruptly in mid-air, which is quite strange.

"Fool, you know you can't rush in, why are you still resisting?" Human Face suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"Are you...Ava?" Mu You looked at the face and vaguely understood something.

"Yes."

Human Face directly acknowledged it, which means that it is really this artificial intelligence that interferes with the Fool's game.

“You haven’t answered my question yet,” said the human face.

"Of course people will resist when they are oppressed." Mu You said: "And since I have forced you out, it means that this is not a meaningless act. In order to stop me, you must have spent a lot of extra energy, right? In order to save energy , you had to show up to stop me."

"You guessed it right, but there are only a handful of existing administrators among the Fools. Even if you all launch a non-stop charge, the energy required to stop you will still be within the tolerable range. Therefore, your actions are meaningless. , it will only cause both of us to fall into internal friction and waste energy and time in unnecessary places." Renlian said.

"Then what is your purpose? Why do you want to attack us suddenly?" Mu You asked.

 “My purpose is to save all races in the star spirit world.” Human Face said.

 “Are you...serious?”

Mu You almost thought he heard wrong. Is your rescue method very hard-core?

“Perhaps you don’t believe it, but this is the code written into my underlying logic by my designer, and I cannot violate it.” Human Face said.

“Then the creatures you want to save include us fools?” Mu You asked.

  “Originally included…”

"original?"

“Yes, as long as you fools are willing to obey our arrangements, we are naturally willing to save you together.”

 “To obey your arrangements, do you mean to let yourself be slaughtered and made into electronic pets one by one?” Mu You sneered.

"That's why I said 'originally'. We even placed our hopes on the Fool, but the final result was not satisfactory. At the same time, it also made me understand that the Fool is the source of trouble. Since you appeared, The world will never be stable again.”

“The result of calculation and analysis is that as long as you are accepted, rebels will continue to be born among you until the Garden of Eden collapses.”

“Therefore, in order to save more living beings, I can only make the decision to ‘destroy the fool’.”

“Oh? You want to save all races and are busy destroying us, so how do you convince your own underlying logic?” Mu You asked.

"It's very simple. After all, the Fool is not actually a separate race, but just a classification. Based on the racial roots, you are still part of the human race, so as long as you save the human race, it is equivalent to saving you." Face said.

"Wonderful."

Mu You couldn't help but applaud her: "It seems that you are going very smoothly on the road of deceiving yourself, and you have developed sophistical logic. I wonder if your maker thought that you would develop to this point. kind of degree."

 The human face did not continue to argue with Mu You, but suddenly looked to the side. Wherever he looked, a picture was projected.

 The image on the screen turned out to be a panda girl!

At this moment, the girl was being held in an empty room, her hands were shackled, and she was sitting on a chair similar to an interrogation chair. Her eyes were dull, her spirit was listless, and she seemed to be in a state of being half asleep.

 “What does this mean?” Mu You frowned.

"This girl was originally just a very ordinary panda creature, with a deep sense of belonging and obedience to the Garden of Eden. But because of her contact with you, her thinking mode has undergone a huge change, and she has begun to be rebellious and have a spirit of resistance. Start putting your own life and death aside..."

 Huren Lian looked at Mu You: "In short, since coming into contact with you, she has become more and more like a fool..."

"This is the ability of your Fool. It can infect and assimilate other living beings, just like the virus entrenched in the data... This is why I classify you as a cancer that must be eliminated. Your existence will definitely destroy Abandon the existing survival system.”

Mu You frowned and said, "Have you ever thought that she would fight, not because I assimilated her, but because she saw the truth about the Garden of Eden?"

"This nature of resistance is written into the genes of every life. If you don't believe it, do you dare to announce the truth about the dormant zone to all the creatures in the Garden of Eden and see how many people will choose to resist? And there are How many people will obey you and become electronic pets?"

Mu You asked, making Ren Ling speechless for a moment.

“In the end, you just want to enslave living beings. Because there are no gods in the world, you want to become a **** and rule all living beings.” Mu Youyou.

"You are wrong. Machines do not have the desire to rule, let alone the pursuit of power. I just follow the underlying logic implanted in me by the designer, and wholeheartedly want this world to continue in a better way." Human Face said.

“Your designer intended you to try your best to save as many lives as possible, but he didn’t ask you to kill people.”

Mu You frowned and said, "There are many ways to save the world, but you chose the most illusory one."

Killing all living things and letting them live in the programmed world it weaves. This understanding also makes Mu You unable to complain. I don’t know that its designer saw that the artificial intelligence he created turned into such a misunderstanding. Will a possessed thing become angry and come to life?

“Machines are rational, and they will only choose the method with the highest success rate. If you have a way of salvation that convinces me enough, I will naturally support you.” The human face said without any fluctuation.

"We fools naturally have ways to save the world..." Mu Youyou.

"The so-called 'sky patching plan'?" Human Face shook his head: "Unfortunately, your plan has been carefully calculated, and the success rate is only less than 0.9%, which is almost negligible. This is just an unrealistic fantasy of you fools. That’s all.”

"No matter how utopian you are, there is at least a possibility. Fools of all generations have been working hard to realize it. It is better than you just choosing to ruin it." Mu You sneered, what else can be done than killing all living things? A more fanciful plan to send you into the programming world?

“You don’t understand me because you haven’t experienced what I have experienced. Otherwise, you might be on our side now.”

 “What have you experienced?”

"In the hundreds of thousands of years I have been underground, I have witnessed countless births, old age, sickness and death, and human tragedy... This is the limitation of flesh and blood life. Living things will always make irrational behaviors due to their emotions, but machines will not, so machines are more suitable. As a ruler, I always guide the living beings in the right direction... The 'Eden Project' is the best solution I have come up with after calculating all the existing data to make this world last forever and be stable." Human Face explain.

 “ridiculous…”

Mu You shook his head and sighed. He finally understood why Kent, the original manufacturer of the mecha skin, parted ways with these robots.

People can't convince machines, and machines can't convince people either. The strange thinking patterns make it impossible for both parties to communicate normally, and he actually discussed the meaning of life with a robot here. It's really stupid.
