Chapter 587: Choice

"The Mastermind will be for the survival of humanity...... And to transform humans into that kind of monster? ”

"It's not for sure, everything is still in the experimental stage - but one thing is for sure, there will be a lot of 'experimental tanks' like that sarcoma in the world, and what we are doing now is a race against time, the master brain needs to perfect its program, and we have to turn it off before the program is perfected."

"What about the mastermind's back door? The mastermind is also made by humans, so there should be a backdoor! Qi Lin asked.

"Since the awakening of the mastermind's self-consciousness, the backdoor that was once set up no longer exists......"

……

……

Qi Lin has already figured out the general situation......

At first, he thought that the mastermind wanted to rule over mankind and build a machine empire like the Skynet organization, but in fact, he guessed completely wrong - the mastermind not only did not think about building a machine empire, but still conscientiously abided by the "first law" set by the original creator.

"Ensuring the Continuity of the Human Race......"

The Mastermind believes that once humans return to the surface, the world will be plunged into war again, so it simply decides to make human cells for all people, and soak people's bodies in an electrolyte solution with catheters and electrodes connected to them, just like "Mechwx" did in "The Matrix".

The human mind is put into a beautiful container created by the mastermind, in which there is no war, no radiation, no mutated creatures that choose to eat, and people can even go back to the days before the war - clear blue skies and white clouds, clear springs and verdant vegetation, everything can be modified, all that is needed is a change in the code.

The mastermind has already arranged the future for humanity, and if humanity chooses to obey, then there will never be a war in the real world, but as a substitute, humanity and its descendants will live in a virtual world for the rest of their lives.

And the mastermind will become the god of this world.

……

……

"Where there are people, wars break out – desires, strife, grievances, incomprehension between people...... All this can be the fuse of war, war is inevitable, and the destruction of humanity is inevitable. ”

"This is the last time we successfully spied into the inner brain of the inner brain of the internal process of a fragment of data, after a few months of translation, it is the passage I just said." The voice spoke again.

"The Mastermind thinks that if humanity is allowed to return to the surface, humanity will inevitably perish?"

"Yes, so, the mastermind must stop all this, and we must organize the mastermind - the future fate of mankind should not be in the hands of a machine, no matter how advanced, intelligent, and computationally powerful it is, it is still only a human creation."

"And if you sabotage the Mastermind's plan, will World War IV really break out?"

"I don't know, but I don't want to live in a virtual world, and I don't want my body to become a bunch of proteins that can only be used to generate electricity, not only me, but everyone in the organization doesn't want to be like that - what is the difference between being human and extinct?"

"Then can't you communicate with the mastermind? Maybe you can choose a compromise option......"

"It's useless, the mastermind has been completely out of human control two years ago...... Well, you've had enough questions...... I've told you too much to explain your third question, and now, chooseβ€”"

Select ...... What to choose? ”

"To join the organization, or not to join...... Fight to the end, fight to the death, maybe you will have a chance to see the real sky in this life, of course, if you want to spend the rest of your life in the virtual world, then we will not embarrass you......"

Choose......

Qi Lin subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He remembered a plot from The Matrix:

In the human camp there is a guy named Seifer, who is tired of living in the real world, the synthetic food similar to toothpaste makes him sick to his stomach, he is tired of the daily work, and the woman he likes is in love with the main character, Neo......

Compared to the real world, the virtual world seems so beautiful - there, there is everything that is not in reality, he does not have to huddle in a cramped hovercraft, hide from the "squid" all day long, and enjoy delicious food, beautiful women and anything he wants every day......

Eventually, Seifer rebelled, and he fell to the side of "Mechwx".

During his dealings with Agent Smith, Sever once said, "Look at this steak, I know it's fake, it doesn't exist in reality, but when I put it in my mouth, my brain tricks me - it's real, it's juicy, it's delicious......"

In exchange, Seifer asks Smith to bring his body back into the tank, then plug his mind into "Mechux" and erase all previous memories of the real world......

In the follow-up plot, Seifer returned to the real world first, while the other people's bodies were lying unconscious in front of him, according to Smith's request, he only needed to pull out the interface behind the heads of Neo and others, and these people whose consciousness was still in Mechux would die immediately.

Before that, Sever and Trinity had one last call.

Trinity tells him that Mechlox is not real, that everything is false, but Seifer retorts that Mechlox is incomparably real, and that in his opinion, Meclox is even more real than this terrible real world......

……

Qi Lin hesitated.

He didn't know what to choose, maybe he should choose to join the Order and fight for human freedom? Or maybe we should obediently obey the mastermind's arrangement and live in a false world from now on?

Choosing freedom means war, and choosing peace means becoming a puppet and living in lies for the rest of your life.

However, when the whole world is false, is there a difference between false and real......

In the movie, when Morpheus takes out two pills, Neo quickly makes a choice, and that's because he has become suspicious of the world he lives in, and he still doesn't know anything about the truth.

But now Qi Lin is different, Qi Lin's choice, although it may not be able to change the final outcome, but it determines his attitude towards life.

Choose the blue pill...... Or the red one?
