"Remember what Christo's old thief left before he left?"

"Let's find the secrets of this world, and what 'freedom' means, right? Of course, I remember that it was a rare quote in the last two years...... Why did you suddenly remember this? ”

"I thought it was just his bad taste for pit players, and I just wanted to see us continue to suffer in his last work, but now it'......"

"What, those 'things' are now true?"

"I don't know."

Duan Qing, who sat in the white sky with his arms crossed and closed his eyes, and the outside world, who was still making noisy sounds, began to communicate in a low voice for no reason: "But since the system has set the player's zero-level status in a certain location, it means that the player's identity is not completely absolute, and the player can 'demote' to become an NPC-like character, which also means that NPCs should also have a way to 'promote'......"

"How do I get promoted to become a player?" The doctor's voice also became cautious and surprised: "How is it possible? Although the science and technology of the 22nd century have indeed made AI possible, and the computational magnitude of the optical brain has made such a long-term progress, no matter how much computing is calculation, its fundamental 'quality' has not changed. ”

"yes, it does sound unbelievable." Duan Qing's head became deeper and deeper as his voice fell: "But...... What if the light brain can really 'count' a person? ”

“……”

"If you want to become a 'human' that can't be quantified, you only need to solve the parts that can't be quantified."

Feeling the tranquility gradually coming from all around, Duan Qing's voice brought a slight smile: "The ability to gamble even if the chance is slim, the ability to persevere even if the possibility is slim, the ability to believe even if there is no theoretical support, and the ability to fall in love with another person for no reason...... These things, which they often call emotional modules, are actually what we call the power of the 'heart', and a large number of data references may not be able to reproduce such power perfectly, but it may be successfully simulated. ”

"That's the world we're in right now." There was a pause in his voice: "And the people who look like the real thing." ”

"This ...... That's fake, right? The voice from the outside world then became hesitant: "Even if the free world really pursues reality as you say, but simulating the real personality of an entire world is impossible for even a hundred light brains." ”

"Perhaps, but the master of this world, that is, the system, has indeed been counting the choices and wills of all NPCs." Duan Qing's voice became inaudible: "Plus the spirit of those players who have been captured...... Like me......"

"Hello? Feed! ”

It seemed to sense the abnormality in Duan Qing's voice, and the voice echoing in the sky hurriedly called twice: "What's wrong with you?" Anything else feels wrong? ”

"It's noisy...... I'm tired, I'm going to sleep......"

"You're sleeping all the time, even if you say that...... Hey? ”

The gray-robed body sitting on the white landing interface finally slowly fell to the ground, accompanied by the vague fluorescence that surrounded Duan Qing's body, and the voice from the outside world also let out an exclamation like he had just discovered the new continent in the noisy hustle and screams for a while: "He, he came out?" ”

But his spirit was not yet fully recovered...... Wait a minute, is he finally recovering? ”

"How is it possible, he has just experienced a spiritual transfer, or we personally presided over it! His spirit should be extremely tired now, how could it suddenly be better? ”

"Anyway, it should have something to do with everything that just happened to him...... Fast! Check it out! If only I could figure out this case—"

"This is simply an unprecedented specimen in the world!"

The constant sound of busyness then appeared in a hospital in the real world, accompanied by the operation of the group of teams constantly querying each other on the Internet, and the same scene also spread among the vast number of players in this world with the appearance of the dawn of February 29, 796 in the new calendar of the free world, and began to look for clues to all the inside stories that happened in the free world on this night. The mutation from Redcar, the imperial capital of the Frey Empire, also gradually came to an end with the arrival of this dawn, telling people who don't know much about the scenes that had happened here with the ruins that still carry the smoke of gunpowder and the traces of battle scattered in the streets, and the orders from the palace and some rumors that gradually spread also gradually appeared on the edge of these scattered news circles with the passage of time, and then turned into powerful news to capture the attention of outside players again and again: "There is civil strife!" The empire is in civil strife! ”

"The nobles of the empire have rebelled! The mastermind behind the scenes is Prime Minister Caldera! ”

"Many nobles have been affected, as well as their private soldiers...... I heard that this night they destroyed the leylines of the imperial capital, and almost blew up the entire Redkar into the sky! ”

"Really? I thought it was a group of outlaws who were not afraid of death who moved here from the castle of Thebilisi, and then wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something bigger......"

"Choosing to cause civil unrest at this critical time...... Are these nobles of the empire filled with water in their heads? ”

Taking a deep breath, Sunset Lone Smoke, who was sitting in a white room, shook off the pages of the love newspaper in his hand with an angry face: "The affairs of the Restorationists are enough of a headache for us, and they are still messing around here?" ”

"Don't worry, President, according to the information sent back by the military master from offline, even if there is no restorer intervening in this matter, at least there are traitors from the Mage Council operating inside." A warrior named Kashiwagi Kamisi then replied in a low voice: "They were also the ones who were ordered to act in that place at that time, and they also saw those magicians who looked like rebels, although they did not catch their mastermind in the end, but about their actions and their purposes, the military master should have found out." ”

"I've never doubted his IQ." Looking out the window in a certain direction, Sunset Lonely Smoke retracted his voice sullenly: "It's just that as a military advisor, he always lets me sit at home, but he runs outside to have a good time...... Wrong wrong! I mean, did he finish what the Mage Council had given him? ”

"He didn't mention it." Kashiwagi Shenqing replied in a low voice, "But if the news sent back by the military master is true...... Then the harvest of their trip is probably greater than the task entrusted to us by the Mage Council. ”

"Hmph, too."

Fingers tapped back and forth on the old wooden table in front of him, and the red-robed sunset slowly closed his eyes: "We have been here for a few months, and we have done our best for the Mage Council, but as a result, not to mention the upper level, even the ordinary prestige level is not as high as that little girl...... What exactly do they think? ”

"Don't, don't worry, boss, it's not like we're complaining about this once or twice." Kashiwagi Shenqing replied cautiously: "We have also inquired about the origin of that Mengzhu, and the person who can occupy a place in this alliance now must have some way of her own." ”

"I've never heard of this little girl, I've only seen one or two in the past League Cup." Sunset Lonely Smoke waved her hand indifferently: "She doesn't seem to have any talent and strength, she just keeps following that man, although that man is ...... Not. ”

Perhaps thinking of something that could not be mentioned, the stout man in the red robe finally put the topic down: "Anyway, we can't lose the name of Vizad, if we are so condescended to the name of the 'fool', we will be in vain for so long!" ”

"Brother Leisurely Against the Wind has been out for more than half a month, and the task should be almost completed after calculating the time." Kashiwagi Shenqing tapped the system panel in front of him for a while: "As long as that task can be completed, those guys from the Mage Council will definitely not be able to refuse our request this time, right?" ”

“…… I hope so. An involuntary smile appeared on his face, but Sunset Lone Smoke still had a disapproving expression on his mouth: "Coupled with what happened to the empire this time and the information collected by the military advisor, the Mage Council should not refuse our help, right......"

"Prepare me, I'm going to meet the agents of the Council of Seven."

He sorted out his clothes, and at the same time sorted out the pages of the love newspaper in front of his desk into his mind again: "The city in the sky, which has been in business for so long, has encountered such a world trend again......"

"If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make some progress, Lao Tzu will simply go outside to find something to do!"

Striding across the table and chair in front of him, he pushed open the door of the white room, and the blue sky and the white clouds that were close at hand also passed by the continent not far in front of him with a gust of fresh wind, and gradually flew towards the distance where the sun extended. The faint whistling sound then appeared in a low voice with his footsteps between the ancient streets and alleys where the red-robed magician passed, and at the same time, the whole picture of the city in the sky was slowly revealed in the fresh air, and the cold atmosphere of this season was also flowing through the city like ruins in the sky all over the city, gradually awakening the slightly prosperous scene that was becoming clear with the dawn: "Sell the gems!" Gems sold! The newly excavated gems in Area F are all from the period of the Ancient Magic Empire! ”

"Ruins Hidden Treasure! Ancient magic equipment! All of them are newly unearthed unidentified items! The opportunity to get rich overnight is just around the corner! ”

"Sell a house in the lower district, only 100,000 gold coins, with a temporary residence permit issued by the Mage Council in person, to ensure that the source is legal and the price is fair!"

"The expedition team in Area E is third-class and second-class, a Huiqiu magician, a healer, and other professions that are proficient in healing are also available, and ruins and archaeology are preferred!"

“…… It seems that it has really developed. ”

Looking at the ruins that began to become lively due to the appearance of players, a little girl standing in the sky to the edge of the inner city of the city sighed and closed her eyes, feeling a cold wind on her face, she then stood expressionless for a while, and only raised her head again after a long time in the scene where the sun gradually sprinkled down: "It's a pity that there are not enough people now, otherwise it will ......."

"Big sister, we're back."

A cheerful call then sounded behind her, accompanied by the figure of a young thief waving his arms and running in front of her: "Wow, I didn't expect we to have a real station in Sky City!" The eldest sister is really amazing-oops! ”

"How many times have you said it, don't call me the eldest sister, call me president."

Squinting her eyes and retracting the finger that had struck the other party's head, the little girl named Mengzhu withdrew her gaze from between the scattered golden hair: "And this place is not something we earned, just a legacy left to us by the Mage Council." ”

"Well, that's pretty powerful." In the whispered snickering of several companions behind him, the Hu Tao Rakshasa who took two steps back with his head in his arms replied in a low voice with an aggrieved expression: "When I passed through those lower areas before, those players looked at us with disbelief as if they had seen a ghost...... That's right. ”

"Report." As if remembering his intentions, he hurriedly straightened up his body after putting down his arm: "The corn team has completed its mission, and now it is officially returned!" ”

"Oh? The result? Still facing the blue sky, Meng Zhutou, who was tidying up his outfit, asked without looking back, "Have you found any further clues?" ”

"Clues...... It should be pointed directly to the area of the Danakan hills. The thief replied in a low voice, "It is said that it is the birthplace of the castle in the sky, and it is also one of the bases where the legend has been said to have secretly built Metatron......"

"I've heard that rumor many times."

Interrupting the other party's words, Mengzhu, who squatted down and began to arrange his leather boots, said impatiently: "The city in the sky is right in front of us, isn't it a waste to check those things?" Rather than follow the clues of the wooden box, it would be more practical to leave you in the city to explore the unknown areas...... Ah, right. ”

"I heard you almost lost the wooden box?" The tip of her boot tapped lightly on the ground twice, and as she stood up, she turned sideways as if she remembered something and asked, "Isn't the great magician who snatched the wooden box judged?" The people of the Mage Council seem to be concerned about this matter lately......"

"How's that going?"
