Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 148 She Wants to Become an Anchor

"I don't understand." Noah's Ark's voice was still a mechanical sound without any fluctuations, but it made people hear just the right hint of confusion.

"I have Hiroki's memories, but I cannot understand his feelings as a human being, nor do I understand why he made the choices he did."

"Humans are strange creatures. I don't understand your logic."

"Then go and observe." An He smiled, "Spend more time observing, observe more people, and observe their performance and choices in various situations."

"Maybe if you see more, you will gradually understand more."

"I will help you build an ideal observation environment. Are you willing to sign a contract with me?"

He reached out to Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark looked at him for a long time, and then said in a mechanical voice: "It sounds like a feasible plan, but how can I guarantee my interests, and how can I define the scope of our rights and obligations?"

"That's the 'agreement' required for the contract." An He took out the slightly curled and yellowed parchment that he had prepared long ago, with a few lines of words written in ancient Hermes on it.

"It stipulates several basic conditions. During the contract period, both parties must not do anything harmful to each other. I need to fulfill my obligation to 'let Noah's Ark understand humans', and you need to respond to the messenger's call and help me do things in the 'cyber world' within the scope of your duties."

"Here is a noble name as a testimony to the validity and credibility of this contract. I don't need to explain this specifically. You can understand the corresponding meaning from this text."

"It sounds like some kind of advanced program." Noah's Ark paused for a moment, as if calculating the feasibility of this matter.

After a long time, it finally responded. It raised its hand slightly, and its name appeared on the parchment.

【Noah's Ark】

As the name fell, the parchment turned into several pieces of data fragments and disappeared into the void.

Although the carrier of the contract agreement is a virtual object in the virtual world, the name is valid and the target pointed by the name is clear. This messenger contract also has a real mystical connection and is officially established from this moment on.

"I call in my name:"

"Spirit wandering between virtualities, intelligent creatures that can be driven, electronic life seeking contracts;"

"A messenger that belongs exclusively to An He."

This is the prayer sentence to summon Noah's Ark. When it is recited in the ancient Hermetic language, it can be sensed by Noah's Ark.

In the virtual world of "Cocoon", it can show a virtual image at any time and anywhere, but in reality it can only rely on nearby electronic devices, which is a small flaw.

After all, the Internet is not the real spiritual world, and the essence of Noah's Ark is ultimately electronic life. It cannot appear in reality as easily as real spiritual creatures and requires a certain carrier.

Anhe also taught this sentence pattern to Miyano Shiho.

"Mr. Miyano can also summon Noah's Ark to do some things, such as calculations or a certain degree of simulation. Noah's Ark has high authority in the cyber world and can call upon a large part of the computing power."

"But it is a messenger after all, not a servant. It is better to give it some reward after asking it for help. For example, share your feelings or thoughts with it, which may help it understand humans."

"How about this." He turned to Noah's Ark and discussed with it: "Every time we ask you for a favor, you can ask us a question, how about that?"

This was the inspiration he got from the Mirror of Arrodes.

"Okay." Noah's Ark agreed.

"Chairman Sindor, who killed Hiroki, has now become paralyzed due to illness and has become a vegetable. Hiroki's biological father, Mr. Kenmura, is trying to take power from him. Now many competitors are eyeing him covetously. Please help Mr. Kenmura consolidate his power and find a way to protect the company from being defeated by external enemies."

An He gave his messenger his first instruction: "This mission should be in line with your own wishes, right?" Noah's Ark was not turbulent: "At least from Hongshu's memory, he has no feelings for this adoptive father, the chairman."

"Also, you actually separated a piece of data from that group of children and replaced one of them, right?" An He asked again.

"This is to better collect data." Noah's Ark did not refute and stated that it was true.

An He nodded, and he spoke.

Although it did not see Hideki Moroboshi who was originally replaced by Noah's Ark, it obviously would not miss this good opportunity to promote understanding of humans and chose other targets.

"Then in exchange."

Noah's Ark said in a calm voice: "My question is: As a human being, how do you view your own existence?"

An He answered quickly, without much thought: "I think, therefore I am."

Noah's Ark nodded, and the virtual projection quickly merged into the air and disappeared.

With its electronic life form, it separated a separate stream of consciousness and sent it to the equipment around Zhongjiancun Zhongbin in reality as soon as Anhe gave the order. Now it deliberately dispersed the projection to express the message of "end of conversation".

The thinking logic of electronic life is quite rigid.

However, with the help of Noah's Ark, at least the "New Redemption Rose" created by the thieves does not have to worry about development problems.

After finishing his business, An He returned to the mentality of traveling in the virtual game world and said to Miyano Shiho with a smile: "Let's go and have some fun."

Miyano Shiho looked at him deeply, then followed.

In recent days, after she gradually got a glimpse of some of Awa's secrets, many of her past doubts were like a fog in front of her eyes, and she could see more clearly.

As smart as she is, she had already guessed that some of the things that happened before must be related to Awa-kun.

It was as if he had just mentioned Sindora's "paralysis" in front of her openly, which was to reveal this to her.

He knew she was thinking clearly, so he didn't hide it from her.

Miyano Shiho knew that Sindorah was undoubtedly the sinner.

She did not think that Awa's behavior was radical. When human cognition and ability levels exceed the current era, the laws and morals at that time have lost their necessity and become products of limited cognition.

She would not be the fool who threw torches at Copernicus.

Of course, morality and rules have not completely lost their meaning. It’s just that with the progress of the “new humans”, they also need new interpretations.

She didn't know if and when Awa-kun would cross the bottom line of principles and fall from a "newcomer" to a "non-human". This was a question that was difficult to answer. While power and authority brought people supremacy, they were also bound to be accompanied by corruption.

But she knew that there was only one thing she could do, which was to support and encourage him in this "old era" where he was out of tune, so as to prevent him from becoming a "Copernicus" walking alone in ignorance.

If he was ever to lose his human character, she would be the one to make it clear.

As she said, she would not be his "accomplice" in the same crime.

She wants to be the "pioneer" who holds up the torch to light the way forward.

She wants to be the "anchor" of his eternal humanity.
