Eternal Night

Chapter 334 Enemy
"A fictional doomsday scenario?"

Wu Xianxiao rubbed his temples, trying hard to suppress the discomfort brought by various emotions, and asked while flipping through the documents provided by Xu Ruonan.

Xu Ruonan did not answer, but calmly drank her coffee with a sugar cube in it. Her expression was very relaxed and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Ah, did Xu Wanfang answer it himself?"

Wu Xianxiao nodded and continued to look through this valuable document.

The others were both relieved and puzzled. Gao Changgong immediately said, "We know you are already a manifest super brain, but please also say something we can understand."

Wu Xianxiao didn't say anything, but pointed at Xu Ruonan, who smiled and said, "Before and after the Fourth World War, there were only four people who possessed super brains. Two of them were born with explicit super brains, or super brains with special attributes, so they are not universal. Only cousin Xu Wanfang is a latent super brain, and he is an explicit ordinary super brain according to the super brain awakening program, so his information value is very high. This information is not available in other families, companies, or even the government."

At this point, Xu Ruonan felt that she was a little too proud. She cleared her throat and continued, "As for the vigilance against the imaginary doomsday scenario of the world, my cousin's answer proved that at least part of it was groundless. There are two biggest limitations. The first is the durability issue. According to my cousin, controlling the senses and memories of intellectual life is not permanent, at least he can't do it. The more the number of controls, the shorter the durability. The second is..."

"Load problem."

Wu Xianxiao said without even looking up: "You may not understand that you think the super brain can change ordinary people into something else with just a thought. This is actually your illusion or fallacy. I am also a super brain now, and I can tell you with certainty that change is two-way. The super brain can indeed change the emotions and perceptions of ordinary people, but it can also be changed by the emotions and perceptions of ordinary people. If it is really like the scene described above..."

"The consciousness of this super brain owner has turned into some unimaginable and indescribable monster."

The imaginary doomsday scenario is a hypothetical situation proposed by some scientists and philosophical thinkers after World War IV.

The background at that time was the end of the Fourth World War, and the unified government of mankind won the final tragic victory. The entire solar system was destroyed, especially Liang Min's predecessor, that is, "his" resurrected body was a sickly woman, which led to the collapse of the Solar Ring Project used to stabilize the sun and provide human settlements. Humanity had to adopt the Long-distance Journey Plan, at the cost of sailing for 8,000 years to reach the distant other side of the stars.

At that time, the entire human society was reflecting on the outbreak of the Fourth World War and was afraid of the power of the super brain. In particular, the high-ranking government officials who were vying for power, the eleven families, the surviving thirteen singularity companies that were lurking, and the remaining People's Revolutionary League added fuel to the flames. The entire human society became more vigilant and fearful of the super brain holder.

It was in this context that the theory of the world's illusory doomsday scenario was put forward. At the same time, in that year, Chu Minghao destroyed his personal super brain assistant and sealed up his dragoon system and mecha. This slightly calmed the public opinion at the time, but it also shattered Chu Minghao's idea of ​​becoming president at the time, forcing him to lie low for a while.

The content of this world's fantasy doomsday scene is based on the assumptions and reasoning of an ordinary explicit super-brain. In this assumption, an ordinary explicit super-brain can use the emotions and cognition of ordinary people as a carrier to carry out information cognitive pollution similar to the infectious type. It doesn't even need a carrier. With a single thought, all people's cognition, perception, and memory are changed, but the person involved is completely unaware and just lives according to the modified "program."

In this hypothesis, once a super brain holder does so, the entire human civilization will immediately be reduced to a set of symbols, a set of information, similar to an NPC with fixed calculation logic in an electronic program. All its thoughts and ideas are controlled by the super brain holder, and it will become a puppet without even free thought. The entire human civilization will actually have perished in disguise.

When Xu Wanfang died, the hypothesis had not yet come out, so Xu Wanfang naturally had no way of knowing so many things that happened later. However, as a member of the Xu family, Xu Wanfang still left a lot of super brain data based on his awakening to the Xu family.

As a passive ability of the super brain, it can sense the scattered emotions of all sentient beings around it. At the same time, it can change the emotions, cognition, memory, etc. of the sentient beings around it through its own thoughts. These do exist, but they are not as exaggerated as the outside world thinks.

This document emphasizes the "polluting" nature of this emotional perception. Xu Wanfang described an experience in the early days of his awakening. When he went to a crowded place, he felt the emotional fluctuations of tens of thousands of people. Just tens of thousands of people gave him a violent desire to destroy everything and distort everything.

He was frightened and immediately returned to the Xu family's deserted manor and shut himself off from the public until Liang Min's predecessor, the original "him", found Xu Wanfang and solved his mental illness. Only then did Xu Wanfang join the People's Revolutionary League without hesitation.

All this information was also recorded in this document, which described in detail Xu Wanfang's psychological process and the emotional pollution he suffered. The document specifically mentioned that Xu Wanfang even had some degree of personality changes at the time, with vague signs of split personality, and only then did he clear up the pollution with the help of Liang Min.

The records in the document are not complete, but the most important part is still there, which is about how to limit one's own emotional perception range, and limit the specific areas of emotional perception, etc. This requires a lot of meditation, visualization, concentration, and some kind of ritual construction that is similar to the extraordinary field.

But all of this involves changes in the sea of ​​consciousness, and before the dream world comes, even the masters of the spiritual realm in the real world, or those who truly practice in religion, cannot make the sea of ​​consciousness truly manifest. This is something that only the super brain can do. Wu Xianxiao carefully looked at the records above, thinking and comparing the changes in his sea of ​​consciousness and his understanding of the passive abilities of the super brain. In just a moment, his expression became relaxed, and the people around him also felt the changes. They didn't feel anything before, but now they feel the changes, as if the mental level has become more relaxed.

Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.

Xu Ruonan smiled reservedly and said, "Now you know the value of everything I have provided, right? Not to mention the power of destruction, the value of this information is something that no one outside can provide. In addition, there is also a super brain assistant that will be customized for you in the future. By the way, once you have the super brain assistant, your emotional perception will change qualitatively, and its pollution and load bearing capacity will also be greatly enhanced... All this is because of our contract."

Wu Xianxiao put down the document in his hand and said seriously, "No need to test me. Since I have promised you and signed the contract under the judgment of the main brain, I will naturally do what I should do."

Xu Ruonan was even more satisfied. The fear she had felt in the past few days completely dissipated at this moment. She smiled and slowly tasted the wine. She even generously shared this bottle of century-old wine from Gaia, which was in the Xu family's inventory, with everyone present.

The super brain holder (partially awakened) was among them. Not only Xu Ruonan was so relaxed and enjoying it, but the others also completely relaxed, as if no matter how big the difficulties were, they were no longer difficulties.

Wu Xianxiao keenly sensed their emotions and said bluntly: "If you still hold the attitude that all enemies don't matter as long as there is a super brain owner in the team, I think you are not suitable to participate in this rescue operation. That is the midnight three dream world, and we still have to enter the weekend scene... Think about it, even Chu Minghao couldn't get out of it, how can we despise it?"

Everyone was filled with awe and nodded in agreement. Chu Yuyan looked at Wu Xianxiao with appreciation and then said to everyone, "There are still six and a half days before we enter. The remaining time is to integrate our internal team, the extraordinary people who want to participate and the secret teams of other families, prepare logistical supplies and other matters... Leave all of these to us."

Gao Changgong also said: "Yes, these are all our responsibilities, so you don't have to worry... Miss Xu Ruonan, where is the Xu family's secret force? Other families will be stimulated by this, and they will definitely do their best to rescue Mr. Chu Minghao, so what about the Xu family?"

Xu Ruonan covered her mouth and laughed, "That won't do. I have already paid enough. The Xu family's secret forces must not be mobilized. Mr. Wu is the Xu family's secret forces, and I still have these forces to use. They are the greatest guarantee for me to consolidate my position as the head of the Xu family in the future. Forget it."

While they were talking, everyone left the secret room and began to prepare for the expedition. At the same time, they also left enough time and space for Wu Xianxiao to master the super brain ability as soon as possible.

After they had all left for at least a few minutes, Wu Xianxiao opened his eyes from his meditative state and said, "Just tell me what you want to say, Liang Min."

Just where everyone was standing, Liang Min was leisurely tasting the good wine brought by Xu Ruonan, but everyone just ignored him. This was really terrifying when you think about it.

Liang Min smiled and said, "I just came to meet the younger generation. Don't be so hostile to me. You know, I care about the younger generation the most."

Wu Xianxiao said expressionlessly: "For example, Xu Wanfang?"

Liang Min restrained his smile, took a sip of wine, and said seriously: "Yes, for example, Xu Wanfang."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Liang Min for a long time before saying, "Just say whatever you want to say. I'm not interested in playing dumb with you."

Liang Min sighed, poured himself another glass of wine, and said as he drank, "I told you, I'm just here to show my concern for the younger generation. It's not as complicated as you think. I thought you would be troubled by emotional pollution, but I forgot that this is the dream world era, and there are already extraordinary powers besides the super brain. You have already materialized your sea of ​​consciousness before the super brain awakened, so your ability to resist pollution is naturally much stronger than ours at the beginning. You can handle emotional pollution without me..."

Wu Xianxiao said nothing, just looked at Liang Min. After a while, Liang Min spread his hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes. In addition, there is some information that can only be known by the super brain. It should have been told to you by Chu Minghao, but he is not here, so I have to do it for you. It is also necessary to tell you..."

"This involves too many things, and the original source comes from the last president of the Azure Government, who is also the archenemy of mankind, the first naturally awakened super brain, and also the special super brain..."

"Terminator."
