Eternal Night

Chapter 180 Looking for 'Him'

Wu Xianxiao learned a lot of information about "him" from Weng Tianfang, and then Wang Yihui, Gao Changgong, and the captains of more than a dozen other large teams started a remote video conference. During this meeting, Wu Xianxiao learned even more information about "him".

"His" origin is a mystery. Including the Thirteen Singularity Companies, the Unified Human Government, and even the People's Revolutionary League, no one knows his true origin. Unknown when, he has become one of the five leaders of the People's Revolutionary League.

As a natural born super brain, he did not need a main brain to awaken the super brain's explicit abilities, so when the People's Revolutionary League launched the Fourth World War, he was already active on the battlefield, almost sweeping across all aspects of the unified human government's cosmic armies.

Although Chu Minghao was also recognized as a super brain at that time, his situation was not very good. Before the Fourth World War, the unified government of mankind was actually mostly controlled by the Thirteen Singularity Companies. Although Chu Minghao was one of the presidential candidates and a super brain with strong personal strength, his situation was very dangerous. The Thirteen Singularity Companies were ready to kill him at any time and even planned to use him for experiments.

The four wars triggered by the People's Revolutionary League, especially in the early stages of the four wars, relied on "him"'s activeness to almost completely destroy the space army of the unified government of mankind. This was a domino effect, forcing the Thirteen Singularity Company to shift its attention to the People's Revolutionary League, so Chu Minghao was able to protect himself.

After that, "he" continued to sweep everything, even the Thirteen Singularity Companies were attacked on a large scale. Even the thirteen companies were outraged, and had to accept Chu Minghao's entry into the army and manufacture supporting equipment and weapons for the super brain for him. But even so, the Thirteen Singularity Companies were still on guard against Chu Minghao. There were naturally various secret struggles in the middle, which were unknown to outsiders.

Afterwards, Chu Minghao completely escaped from the cage and led the army of the unified human government to sweep across the land. As a super brain, "he" seemed to be much weaker than Chu Minghao, so much so that he was directly crushed by Chu Minghao. Especially at the moment when he was killed, everyone thought that the war was over.

But after that, "his" horror was truly revealed.

The past remains unchanged!

He spread his memories, ways of thinking, and other characteristics belonging to him to the minds of countless people in unknown ways.

This is latent information that cannot be detected by scientific means. It may be a word, a look, or you may not even need to have any contact with him. Just by watching his video or even knowing him, you may be infected by the information belonging to "him", and then in some incomprehensible way, become "him".

"But the real horror is more than just this..."

As one of the senior officials of the original Human Unified Government, Gao Changgong had the most profound understanding of this. He said with a grim expression, "Initially, he was a brilliant man. Although he triggered the Fourth World War and killed countless billions of lives, no one can deny that he was a hero. He was also an idealist, so many elites in the Human Unified Government joined him in an attempt to change this hopeless world."

Wu Xianxiao nodded in agreement, because as far as he knew, Xu Shilan's brother, the third super-brain user, had defected to "him" and became a fighting force of the People's Revolutionary League, and then died on the earth because of this, which then triggered Xu Shilan's crazy counterattack and revenge, and eventually Xu Shilan was demoted to a maintenance personnel.

To put it bluntly, if you didn't have such an extraordinary personal charm and if you didn't really have great aspirations and ideals, how could an elite with a good family background like Xu Shilan give up everything and follow you?

So this was also what Wu Xianxiao had thought before, that is, even if this "he" was an enemy of Chu Minghao, he had to witness it with his own eyes to confirm whether he was a good or bad person and what kind of person he was.

But Gao Changgong's next words directly overturned all his thoughts.

"But he went crazy... After being killed for the first time, he turned into hundreds and thousands of 'him'. Although these 'him' all carried his original memories, way of thinking, and various information, they were also affected by the body and personality he had awakened, so there were various differences. To put it simply, most of the 'him' became crazy, very crazy, and a small number of 'him' were full of self-destructive tendencies, or something else..."

"So, we call him 'him' without a name or any other code name, because every 'him' could be a time bomb, it's that simple."

At this time, Lin Nianzhi also said: "In fact, after the Fourth World War, we did not plan to leave the solar system from the beginning. After all, our human technology, apart from the Singularity Technology of the Thirteen Singularity Companies, is actually not capable of thousands of years of cosmic void navigation. But 'he' began to appear constantly and caused unimaginable damage after the Fourth World War, forcing us who originally had hope to stay in the solar system and rebuild our home to abandon all the mess and enter the hibernation capsule, appearing only in the dream network as spirits. This is also due to the existence of 'he', and it is a big part of the reason." Wu Xianxiao was stunned and asked immediately: "Then aren't you worried that 'he' will revive in the maintenance personnel? And I've always wanted to complain, why do you use criminals as maintenance personnel? That's right, I'm talking about you, aren't you afraid that such maintenance personnel will directly blow up Gaia?"

Everyone was confused, but after thinking about it, they realized that Wu Xianxiao was a future person from the 21st century, so Wang Yihui explained, "Because the main brain controls Gaia, as far as I know, there are at least 20 low-level information bans against him in the main brain. Once he revives and is detected by the main brain, he will be killed immediately. Other maintenance personnel will also be killed if they do anything that is detrimental to Gaia... But now the main brain has undergone a huge mutation, and I don't know whether it still recognizes these low-level information bans."

Wu Xianxiao pondered for a long time in silence before continuing to ask, "That's very strange. Since he has become a madman like 'him', and every 'him' is different, why does the People's Revolutionary League continue to pursue him? Anyone who still has reason will stay away from such a madman, right?"

Everyone laughed bitterly. Gao Changgong said, "Because even if he is a madman, he is a madman with his memories, thoughts, and way of thinking. And according to some rumors, the original him is actually preserved intact, but hidden in countless 'him's'. That's why the remnants of the People's Revolutionary League have been chasing 'him'."

Another high-ranking official from the former Human Unified Government, now a maintenance worker, also said, "Not to mention the remnants of the thirteen singularity companies. Although they are not sure of his original origins, each of the thirteen companies claims that he is the highest creation of their own singularity technology. It is said...it is still said that the thirteen singularity companies seem to have their own ways to subdue 'him' and turn 'him' into their own, and thus lead the company to rise again."

At this time, Weng Tianfang, who was right beside Wu Xianxiao, also spoke up: "In fact, many of you also know that the unified human government is also looking for 'him' who has not yet awakened, or has just awakened. Because of an accident in the solar system before, the senior officials of the human government think that as long as they can find 'him' before he awakens, or when he has just awakened, and train him, then 'he' may be able to become another Chu Minghao."

Wu Xianxiao's mind was full of question marks. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? What has become of 'him'? Why does everyone want to find 'him'? And what is the accident you are talking about?"

Weng Tianfang was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "This accident caused the complete collapse of the Solar Ring Habitable Platform Project. The cause of the incident was a female college student who woke up and became 'him', but because her own personality was confused with his original thoughts, memories, and thinking patterns, this female college student became a super yandere in a sense."

"She had a crush on the commander of the construction of the Circumsolar Habitable Zone Platform at the time, who was also Chu Minghao's adjutant, a very capable young general and a Level 5 citizen. It would have been fine if it was just a crush, as he was already married and had children who were older than this female college student. But after she woke up and became 'him', she became crazy, imprisoned him, brainwashed him, twisted his mind, set up false memories, etc. However, this could not stop the information recorded by the main brain, and then she began to frantically destroy and destroy everything, saying that she wanted to create a world with only her and him, and then..."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned.

Wang Yihui coughed and said, "I've heard about this, too. In the end, more than 80 million people died... But because of her appearance, many scientists and high-ranking officials of the Human Unified Government believed that 'he' could be cultivated and changed, as long as 'he' could be found in the early stages."

Wu Xianxiao was speechless for a long time before he asked, "So what should we do next?"

Many team leaders had already discussed it. Gao Changgong said, "We plan to select an island with the best location in the ocean, and then buy it. We will start construction in the name of businessmen, and actually build a doomsday shelter there. At the same time, all maintenance teams will start self-inspection to find any traces of 'him' that may exist... This is the only way. We have no other choice. We don't have the core important information of the People's Revolutionary League, nor do we have the company's singularity technology."

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we search for the People's Revolutionary League or Singularity Company? They probably know much more than we do, and even if we don't mention 'him', finding them can prevent them from causing trouble."

Everyone looked at Wu Xianxiao, the meaning was very clear... he had to find it.

Wu Xianxiao took out the magic conch directly from his pocket.

"Does anyone here have any idea for dealing with useful nonsense? If there is any way to deal with it..."

“I feel like this thing is very useful right now!”
