Prison Island

Chapter 328 The Mystery of Gao Shu's Origin
Gao Xin thought he could learn how to construct the matrix of nano-swarms.

As soon as he started learning, he realized that it was almost impossible.

It’s too damn difficult. First of all, one mole of nanoswarms is as high as 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd power.

He had to arrange so many particulate matter into a fixed matrix.

Those matrix models are composed of as many as 6.02 times 10 to the power of 23 points, which is a three-dimensional lattice configuration.

This is not just about having an outline, but requires extremely microscopic precision.

It is almost impossible to just remember this configuration which contains so much information, and it is impossible to express it verbally anyway.

"I can transmit these configurations directly into your brain," Solomon said.

"Normally speaking, your brain would collapse immediately. Even if it regenerates and repairs at super-speed, you would definitely forget these memories."

Gao Xin frowned: "You try..."

Solomon knew that he would definitely try it, so he immediately used his true body to point at Gao Xin's forehead.

In an instant, countless data poured into his brain.

It was very crude, and the amount of knowledge was so vast that Gao Xin trembled all over and rolled his eyes.

Then, he died...

His consciousness fell back into the mind palace, which meant that his brain was indeed destroyed.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Gao Xin woke up, Wan Kai and the others had arrived.

"Have you finished transmitting it?" Gao Xin covered his forehead, feeling a little dizzy, but it soon disappeared.

He could feel that his brain had suffered severe trauma, and he woke up now because of super-speed regeneration.

Solomon said, “Now that it has been preached, do you remember it?”

"..." Gao Xin recalled and his eyes went dark.

He remembered a little bit, only that it was a huge and complicated series of things.

It's just a feeling, but I can't remember what it was or what the specific content was.

"I don't remember. It's like a huge amount of data passed through my head, and then I forgot everything..." Gao Xin curled his lips.

Solomon smiled and said, "This is a normal phenomenon. The human brain cannot support such a huge amount of data, let alone operate it."

"If you didn't have super-speed regeneration, you would be dead."

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes, he just didn't believe it.

Maybe the brain has physical limits, but he firmly believes that human consciousness has no limits.

"Are you sure you have finished uploading it?"

Gao Xin got Solomon's exact answer, and then immersed himself in the palace of thought.

He is building character!
Faintly, the outline of a slender, smiling human figure is emerging. It is... Themis!

Gao Xin's imaginary partner does not necessarily have to have real memories, and can also customize his personality.

Through your own understanding and memory, you can shape a person in your own perception.

The Wei Lan in his mind is such a person.

He is not essentially the same as the 'real Wei Lan'. His actual memories and thoughts are different. He is just a fictional personality with the same name.

The same is now happening with the imaginary companion Themis, which is taking shape in Gao Xin's mind.

Based on Gao Xin's understanding and cognition, a Themis in memory is being born.

Once successful, this Themis may not be able to do many things that the real Themis can do, but it will definitely be a matrix configuration.

Because Gao Xin has memorized all the data of the matrix configuration.

However, his main personality couldn't remember it...but since the data passed through his brain, it must have been remembered by his soul subconsciously.

Just because Gao Xin himself couldn’t think of it doesn’t mean that he has forgotten everything subconsciously.

According to his theory, the subconscious mind will not lose memory, and its storage space is theoretically infinite, or as large as the universe.

And the imaginary partner is supported by the subconscious mind.

If Gao Xin were asked to think about the data constructed by the matrix now, he would definitely not be able to think of it, but Themis, who was shaped by her subconscious mind, should be able to.

"Buzz!"

As the outline became clearer and clearer, suddenly the mountains and rivers in the palace of thought began to collapse.

It began to look dilapidated again, as if the world was breaking apart, and the background at the edge was bizarre.

"Mouse, please stop. This personality is too big for you to handle."

"If you build him, the rest of us, and even this palace of thought, will disappear."

Silver Hand hurriedly stopped him.

Gao Xin opened his eyes immediately, feeling a little regretful, and at the same time let the vague outline disappear like smoke.

This wasn't the first time this had happened. When he materialized Wei Lan, his figure was also blurry. Gao Xin wanted to make him more complete, and his inner world began to shatter.

His mental strength is not yet able to support so many imaginary partners at the same time.

In other words, the share that Themis wanted was too huge.

"The personality of Themis, who can form a matrix, is so huge. You can imagine how profound and vast the consciousness of the real Themis is."

"However, this also shows that this method is feasible. I feel like I'm almost there."

Gao Xin murmured in his heart, why is this personality so difficult? Isn’t it because of the terrifying amount of information contained in the matrix construction?
Conversely, this also means that if it can be accomplished, that personality will definitely use this trick.

After confirming that it was feasible, Gao Xin put the matter aside for the time being.

He stood up. Seeing this, Wan Kai came over with Chef Xue and Gao Shu.

"I really didn't expect that a powerful person who I just casually recruited would be so extraordinary."

"I already know everything. You are right. We should not look at anyone's face. We are the overlords of our own region!"

"Tai Sui, I don't know how long I have been worried about the gang leader's lack of modules. Now that you have spent tens of millions to help her exchange for SSR modules, I really don't know how to thank you."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "What's there to say? Aren't we partners?"

"Or do you not consider me as a partner?"

Wan Kai hurriedly said, "No, no, Tai Sui, let me be frank today. We must have kept it a secret from you at the beginning. After all, our enemy is very powerful."

"But now that we've gone through so much, I'd be a fool to keep it from you."

As he spoke, he spoke directly and told everyone about the Suzaku Gate.

Of course, Gao Xin already knew most of the content.

However, this was the first time that Wan Kai told him exactly: "... Gao Shu is the city lord's daughter. But before in front of Kaiba, I made up a lie and said that you were the daughter. Don't mind it."

Gao Xin raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter, what's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true."

"I can bear it for now, but I must know the inside story."

Wan Kai was stunned: "What's the inside story?"

Gao Xin pursed his lips and said, "So you really don't know why Lu Zhao rebelled?"

Wan Kai shook his head and sneered: "For power, what else could it be? Do you really believe what he said, for peace?"

"For the sake of peace, he betrayed his best brother, his good brother who trusted him so much?"

"For the sake of peace, he caused the dragon level of Tangren City to drop by half, from its peak to a level that was even stronger than the Garden of Eden?"

Gao Xin remained noncommittal. He always felt that things were not that simple.

Because according to Wan Kai, Lu Zhao has already taken control of the power, second only to Gao Long, and Gao Long trusts him extremely.

Lu Zhao controlled half of the military power and the entire intelligence system. In many major battles, Gao Long was in charge while Lu Zhao led the troops to fight, so his prestige was extremely high.

Gao Long did not place any restrictions on him, and he obviously sincerely believed that "this world belongs to us in half".

That's why Lu Zhao's betrayal was so fatal.

It was a success easily. Apart from running a million miles, there was hardly any ripple.

If this is the case, the question is, why did Lu Zhao choose to launch the Suzaku Gate Incident during the war?
Why didn't he wait until the war was over and there were no external threats?

It would be easy to do it at any time, early or late, but they chose to launch the coup at the moment when the external threat to Tangren City was the greatest.

Fortunately, Milan successfully completed the armistice agreement, otherwise Tangren City would have betrayed all its allies.

Judging from the results, Milan cleaned up the mess for Lu Zhao's coup, so some people's speculation that Milan supported him is not groundless.

But if this is the case, the question arises again, why did Milan support Lü Zhao's coup? And at the most critical moment of the war? They directly lost the battle and ceded the Death Hill. Why did they do this?
Unfortunately, Wan Kai’s perspective was also completely dark.

Apart from thinking that Lu Zhao was such a beast, he couldn't come up with any deeper reasons.

Wan Kai was really not prepared at all. He had already made an appointment with Master Tianxin, and then as soon as he returned to the city, a coup d'état took place.

This incident also made him lose his credibility, so Gao Xin believed that he really had no idea about it.

But Gao Xin couldn't help but ask, "I'm willing to believe what you said, but I still can't understand the matter of advanced mathematics."

"Since Gao Long trusts Lu Zhao so much, why does he have a daughter that he has hidden from everyone?"

"Lü Zhao launched such a perfect coup, how did you manage to leave with Gao Shu?"

Wan Kai looked at Chef Xue and said, "He was the one who brought Gao Shu out. Don't ask me why the city lord wants to hide a daughter. I don't know either."

"When the Suzaku Gate Incident happened, the city lord knew the situation was hopeless. He risked his life to protect me from escaping and asked me to find Chef Xue, saying that he had a daughter there. It was only at that moment that I knew about the existence of Gao Shu."

"I have been asking Chef Xue about this. Who is Gao Shu's mother? She must be an SSR if she can give birth to one. Unfortunately, Chef Xue won't tell me."

Gao Xin looked at Chef Xue.

Chef Xue sighed, "Wan Kai, do you still think I know?" "It's not that I won't tell you, I just really don't know."

Since Gao Xin is no longer the same person he was before and has the Dragon King Card in his hands, revenge will have to fall on him in the future, so naturally everyone reveals their cards to Gao Xin.

Gao Shu is indeed the orphan of the Gao family.

This girl was only nine years old seven years ago, and she was an illegitimate child that was not made public.

The reason why it is not made public is because of her mother's special identity.

So as soon as Gao Shu was born, he was taken away by his father, who raised him secretly and did not dare to let anyone know who his mother was.

Including extremely close brothers such as Wan Kai and Lu Zhao.

It seemed that the first city lord, Gao Long, was planning to rot in his coffin because of this secret.

Because of this, Gao Shu never received the proper treatment as the city lord's daughter since she was a child, and was raised in Chef Xue's home.

Chef Xue is one of the many chefs who specializes in cooking for Gao Long, and he is only at the wolf level.

In a place like the Tangren City Lord's Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a servant.

But Gao Long trusted him very much and treated him very well.

Chef Xue said, "The city lord loves the dishes I cook the most, saying they taste like the flavor of his hometown."

"Then sixteen years ago, suddenly one day the city lord brought a baby girl to me and gave her to me to raise. She was named Gao Shushu."

"At first I didn't know that she was the city lord's daughter. I thought the city lord was kind and picked up a war orphan."

"After all, such things have happened before. Many middle-level warriors in Tangren City are war orphans who were picked up and raised by him. And because they don't know who their parents are, they all take the city lord's surname Gao."

"But the city lord often came to see the girl and taught her many things personally. Until the Third War, which lasted for three years. During these three years, the city lord was always busy and did not come to see her once."

"Then came the Suzaku Gate Incident. I was an ordinary cook in the City Lord's Mansion, and Lu Zhao's people didn't make things difficult for me. They thought I was his daughter, so they gave me some money and dismissed me. I left openly with the City Lord's only orphan."

"It wasn't until Wankai came to me that I knew she was the city lord's daughter."

Gao Xin covered his face. Is it really that simple?

Not to mention that Lu Zhao didn't know, even Wan Kai himself didn't know. He only entrusted his son to the care of others because something happened suddenly.

No wonder Tangren City has never made any effort to search for Gao's orphans, because from their perspective, how could Gao Long have any other descendants?
Wan Kai said that it was on the day of the incident that he learned that Gao Long had a daughter.

It was only when Wan Kai came to see Chef Xue that he found out that the girl was Gao Long's daughter.

In this case, as long as Lu Zhao is not a ruthless person who wants to kill all the cooks around the former city lord, then Chef Xue, a small wolf-level, can naturally leave.

I can only say that Gao Long hid his knowledge so well that no one knew where Gao Long got it from.

As a result, there is an orphan of the Gao family alive today, so that Wan Kai can support her in taking revenge.

But the question is, isn't Gao Long on guard against everyone? He's even hiding it from Wan Kai and Lu Zhao.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows? To prepare for your own failure, so you keep a trick up your sleeve?
That's not right. If it was an external enemy, then the chef in the City Lord's Mansion would not be spared. Since Gao Shu has been kept in the City Lord's Mansion, the only way for him to survive is an internal coup.

If he was so scheming as to prevent a coup, why did he let Lu Zhao succeed so easily? This shows that Gao Long had never been on guard against Lu Zhao from the beginning to the end.

Weird, so weird.

Gao Xin frowned. The only other explanation he could think of was... Gao Shu's mother's identity was extremely sensitive.

The former city lord did not conceal Gao Shu's identity in order to keep something in reserve.

He hid his advanced mathematics for other reasons, and it was just a coincidence that he was able to escape the coup...

Gao Xin was speechless. Could it be like this? This could even explain the situation where Gao Long was entrusted with the care of his son temporarily, which was like a makeshift team.

After all, if you want to keep a backup plan, you must also retain a force that can turn the situation around.

As a result, Wan Kai was told temporarily, and he ran out at all costs, and then found a wolf-level cook. There was no other hidden force left outside to look for, so with just these two people, revenge was useless.

"…So her mother must be a person that Gao Long cannot reveal no matter what… For example, she must be the most hated enemy of Tangren City." Gao Xin reasoned.

Then he looked at Wan Kai: "Is there such a person?"

Wan Kai pondered: "I can't believe it. Isn't Milan the most powerful woman on the island? But she is not our enemy. If they have an illegitimate child, what is there to hide?"

"Could it be that Gao Xin's mother was Caesar's woman? Eh? Sixteen years ago, Shirley was still alive, right?"

Gao Xin was stunned: "Shirley?"

Wan Kai said: "This is the woman Caesar loved. Because she wanted to escape, Caesar once led all the strong men to launch a crusade against the navy after he built up a huge force."

Gao Xin was stunned: "Good fellow, attacking the navy?"

Wan Kai also laughed: "At that time, we didn't really understand how powerful the navy was. He was the same. He thought he was invincible and wanted to gather everyone to fight and build his own country outside."

"The result is predictable. It was a disastrous defeat. Caesar's lover died, and Caesar himself went mad."

Gao Xin tilted his head: "Ah? Are you crazy?"

Wan Kai recalled: "How should I put it? Caesar was okay in the early days. Although he was arrogant, he was heroic. Otherwise, how could he attract so many followers?"

"And Shirley was very kind, so Caesar never killed innocent people at that time. It was like he had a scabbard to hold him back."

"But after Shirley died, he almost went crazy. He gave up on himself and collapsed for a while. Then he started taking Fluorite particles and regained his spirits. But his temperament also changed drastically."

"In addition, he doted on his son immensely. Let's put it this way, his reputation as a tyrant was almost entirely due to the fact that he doted on his and Shirley's only son."

"The Fourth National War was started for his son. That guy is the real psychopath, known as 'Scorched Earth Lyon'."

"Because wherever he goes, there is a possibility of it being reduced to scorched earth. If you see him, you must run away, and you must run away stealthily, and never attract his attention."

Gao Xin frowned and said, "Scorched Earth Lyon, I seem to have heard of it."

"By the way, when I heard someone describe Hailey's status at the Tiger King Conference, they said that Hailey could beat Leon without dying."

Wan Kai nodded seriously: "That's right, Leon is a pure murderer. He relies on Caesar's doting and kills whoever he wants."

"During the Fourth National War, Leon went too far. Because he didn't like the color green, he slaughtered a lush green village in the Death Hills."

"This incident angered the people of the Milan Order, and a great battle broke out between the two sides at the Hill of Death. In the end, all the people of the Milan Order died."

"This is the trigger for the Fourth National War."

"Caesar is a reasonable man in many ways, but when it comes to his son, he is an irrational tyrannosaurus."

Gao Xin was confused. The reason for the war on the island was too ridiculous.

The third national war was because Caesar fought for the magic sword, and the fourth national war was because his son didn’t like the color green?
"Is that Scorched Earth Lyon so strong?" Gao Xin said solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Wan Kai sneered: "What a bullshit, he is just a wolf-level."

"Ah? Wolf level?" Gao Xinwan didn't expect it to be so low.

Wan Kai shook his head: "But he can still run rampant because he has a quasi-dragon king protecting him at all times."

"Moment? Quasi-Dragon King?" Gao Xin was shocked. He finally understood why people said that Caesar doted on his son to an outrageous degree.

"No, this quasi-dragon king is willing to protect a wolf-level?"

Wan Kai explained: "Ironheart Sauron, one of the four kings on the west coast of Dragon Castle, and Shirley's younger brother."

"After Shirley died, he became a man without emotions and humanity, and a drug addict."

"He only does two things every day: protecting Leon and absorbing Fluor particles."

Gao Xin rolled his eyes. He was afraid of crazy people in everything.

The death of Shirley created three crazy people.

To some extent, it is also legendary.

If Gao Long and Shirley were having an affair, they would not dare to make it public, otherwise who knows how much trouble it would cause.

"So you think she is..."

Wan Kai shook his head: "What do you mean by I think? You asked me if there is any hostile woman with a huge influence..."

"But if she says so, it's impossible. Although Shirley was still alive when Gao Shu was born, Caesar was with her all day. How could there be an illegitimate child? Could it be IVF?"

Gao Xin said: "It's not impossible."

Wan Kai laughed angrily: "It's impossible, it's ridiculous, I'd rather believe that she was born to Milan."

What else did Gao Xin have to say?

But Gao Shu snorted, "Okay, stop guessing here. I have no feelings for Gao Long, and I have never seen my mother. I don't want to know anything except who she is."

"In my eyes, Uncle Xue is my father. I want revenge, not for myself, but for Brother Kai."

"Brother Kai was harmed like this by Lu Zhao from Tangren City. I must avenge him!"

Gao Shu formally expressed her attitude towards revenge for the first time. She did want revenge, but it was for Brother Kai.

Half of her life was Chef Xue, and the other half was Chef Xue and Wan Kai. She had almost no impression of Chinatown.

Gao Xin said: "I promised that I will also bear your hatred."

"But before that, I have to figure out the whole story. We should only punish the main culprit instead of being hostile to the entire Tangren City. I still have friends there."

Wan Kai smiled: "Of course, Tangren City is also my home, and I have many brothers and friends there."

"I am a Tangren City person when I am alive, and a Tangren City ghost when I die."

Chef Xue also nodded, he also had deep feelings for Tangren City.

In fact, from Gao Xin's previous contacts with Ling Sha, Wei Lan and others, and the fact that they did not show any expression, it can be seen that their targets of hatred are only a few people.

Gao Xin nodded. Now that the three of them had spoken up and were in unison, there would be no problem.

He also didn't want to be enemies with people like Ling Sha and Wei Lan.
