"Let me talk to them. I don't know what to talk about, though. ”

Chen Feng took a step forward and stood in front of the signboard.

Ou Qinglan nodded, pressed the button with her fingers, and said in her mouth: "Stars, let Chen Feng talk to the collective will of the blank." ”

In fact, there was no need for Ou Qinglan's order at all, and the stars had already begun to act.

A beam of light was projected from above the indicator board, shining directly on Chen Feng's door.

This beam can read his brainwave information as accurately as possible, with higher accuracy than ordinary equipment, and can also transmit a larger amount of information interference signals directly to his brain, directly establishing information in the visual and auditory centers of his brain.

Of course, this is not memory infusion, it is just skipping the process of compiling information by language and eyeballs, so that he can quickly obtain information.

Fanxing: "Alright, you can talk to them." You can speak directly with your mouth, and they can still receive your brainwave signals while you open your mouth. ”

Chen Feng nodded.

He understands the meaning of the stars.

The most accustomed way of communication is still language, and you have to open your mouth to speak.

In the past, there were two kinds of carriers of language, words and discourse.

Now there's an extra brainwave communication.

The text is responsible and profound, because it can leave time for the reader to think.

Brainwaves are responsible for direct, efficient and high-precision information transmission.

Discourse is responsible for sensationalism, because the voice can fluctuate, there are more varied tones and expressions, and it can also match body language.

Some very subtle feelings, which need to be directly conveyed to the emotions of the past, can only be mediated through words.

Now all Chen Feng has to do is to convince these people, so it is better to open his mouth to speak.

A hazy figure came to his mind.

The figure was in the shape of a human being, but its face and size were changing at a rapid rate.

The speed of change is so fast that it is impossible to catch it with the naked eye, but the brain can barely keep up with its speed, which only makes people extremely uncomfortable and dizzy.

Ou Qinglan's reminder sounded beside him, "Be careful, the figure you see is the collective will of nearly eight million people alternately, and completing the reincarnation switch every 0.01 second will cause you great pressure." ”

Chen Feng didn't reply, only nodded slightly.

In fact, he adapted quickly, and less than two seconds passed, and he was able to "stare at" the hazy figure in his mind.

It is not the ontology of the collective will of the blank, but a projection medium created by the stars to communicate.

The so-called will has no substance, and it is one generated under the high-speed quantum brainwave resonance system, which is different from the semi-mechanical group consciousness of the stars.

Consciousness is ethereal, both within the interconnected cyberspace of the laboratory and in the mind of every blank person.

But the other party did not take the initiative to communicate with him, and seemed to have no interest in him, still immersed in his own logical calculation process.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and opened his mouth, "Hello." ”

"Hello, Chen Feng."

Eight million different voices speak the same sentence at almost the same moment, and the wonderful resonance of the sound cavity seems to make people feel like they are in the valley, listening to the monks chanting mantras all over the mountain.

The other party's answer made Chen Feng's prepared words brake instantly.

He originally planned to introduce himself first, and give himself various names, such as the leader of the two major fields of science and art thousands of years ago, the killer of artificial intelligence Lei, the strongest warrior in the history of mankind, the great leader of the coalition government, and the savior who has repeatedly defeated and fought in the timeline, etc., first bluffing this collective personality of unknown maturity, and then inviting these people to join his camp to do something as a leader against the invaders.

He didn't expect to be called out of his name with just one mouth.

It shows that Ou Qinglan and Fanxing must have completely conveyed Chen Feng and his affairs before, but it didn't work, and the other party only threw over a sentence of "why", and then said that he didn't want to pay attention to you.

Chen Feng decided to get straight to the point, "Humanity needs your help. ”

Blank: "We've got the answer. ”

"Is a senseless death more valuable to you than to help your own people?"

Blank: "We are not of the same race. Second, the liberation we dream of from death is not meaningless. ”

"I helped you eliminate Rei, shouldn't you give me a little help?"

Blank: "But you also created Bud." ”

Chen Feng was stunned.

After a long time, he said slowly, "I'm sorry. ”

"We don't mean to blame you, we don't hate you, and we don't hate Lei. We don't have hatred. We don't know how to be grateful. Even if it's not you who killed Rei, but someone else who has nothing to do with Reu, we won't be grateful. We just can't find the meaning of existence. ”

"Am I not giving you meaning?"

"But that's yours, human's, not ours."

The topic is back to the previous point, "why".

It seems like a dead knot that can never be broken.

Are the blanks human?

Yes, definitely.

But they have never enjoyed even a second of their life journey as human beings.

Ethically and logically, they are not.

They really don't have a position to help humanity.

If you want to convince the other side, then you can only logically defeat these blank people with perfect logic.

Lei has given a success rate assessment, which is 0 percent.

At this moment, Ou Qinglan next to her exclaimed in a low voice, the monitoring index in front of her, which represented the calculation progress of the blank group, had become 100%.

Ou Qinglan's face was as dead as ashes, and she murmured in a low voice: "It's over." ”

She covered her face and sobbed in a low voice, "Don't go, please." I beg of you. Humanity needs you. I beg you! ”

Speaking of the back, she was already holding her head and shouting hysterically, begging bitterly.

But all in vain.

No one can make the blank person feel any mood swings.

If they know how to empathize, then they will know how to be angry, and they will quickly collapse because of what has happened to them, enter the endless cycle of despair, and burn all reason with the anger ignited by the injustice of fate.

In short, the next group of blank people will quickly lose their sense of self and die silently, just like those of their own kind who have failed to be rescued.

Even if Fanxing had no feelings, he also said in Chen Feng's heart, "There is no hope." ”

Chen Feng shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily, they haven't left yet." They couldn't resist the mixed emotions they had for me, so they wanted to say goodbye to me. ”

Ou Qinglan raised her head violently, "What emotion?" ”

"They say they don't hate, but they still hate me. I don't say I'm grateful, but I'm actually grateful. In this world, there is really no one other than me who can make them have such complex emotional changes. When they took the initiative to call out my name, their nascent collective personality had actually taken a big step forward. You asked me to come, I came to the right place. ”

Ou Qinglan: "Huh? ”

Chen Feng smiled and rubbed Ou Qinglan's head again, "Little girl, you are still young and don't understand these complex psychological knowledge. Read more, and when you grow up, you'll understand. ”

At this time, Chen Feng, who had already thought of a solution, was in a much more relaxed mood, and he would subconsciously tease Teacher Ou.

Retracting his dead hand, he added, "A new question is brewing in the logic of the blank, and it needs my answer. They won't leave until I'm done. ”

Sure enough, the light and shadow of the blank man did not disappear quickly, but spoke again.

The tone was calmer and more lonely than before.

"Chen Feng, we're leaving."

"I know."

"You don't keep us like she does?"

"Don't keep it, because it doesn't make sense."

"Can you tell us why?"

"It's a sacrifice."

Blank: "Why us?" ”

In their tones, there was finally a little anger.

Chen Feng craned his neck slightly, "I also want to give the same question to myself, why me?" ”

In his heart, he suddenly said loudly to the stars: "Disclose my memories to them." ”

Needless to say, how complex memory transmission is, this is impossible under normal circumstances.

But the amazing thing is that in the current situation, all the conditions for implementation are in place.

First, collective will is not possible in the first place.

The process of their birth is full of too many accidents, and even if all the conditions are met, there is still a high possibility of failure, but there may not be any more.

Human memories cannot be stored in a digitized manner.

But Fanxing read Chen Feng's memories and stored them in her huge database.

On the other side is a mechanized mental body that can receive data transmission and can also hold a huge amount of memory data.

Due to the randomness and instability of memory data, a fulcrum is needed as a medium when transmitting, and it is Chen Feng himself who is standing here.

One after another could not be broken, and now all the conditions are ripe.

The stars don't ask "why", they do it immediately.

In the blink of an eye, the incomparably huge amount of data rushed into the figure composed of collective personalities through the quantum information in Chen Feng's mind at high speed.

Time in the outside world has only passed for a moment, but for the eight million people in the collective will, it is a thousand years.

They have "seen" Chen Feng's life so far.

The eight million blank people realized Chen Feng's will to soar to the sky who was also struggling in despair, and the lonely courage to carry the survival of civilization on his own.

A great question arises in the logic of the collective will.

Clearly......

He was a mediocre mere man in the 21st century.

He wasn't even a noble man.

Why was he able to do this?

We sacrificed our lives.

But he had already died the sixth, and was about to die the seventh.

But he didn't give up, and although he complained, he still walked in silence.

"Why?"

The voice of the blank man was raised, and the eight million bewildered questions were like Huang Zhong Da Lu, like thunder.

Chen Feng did not answer.

"Why you?"

The blank man asked again.

Their questions were not answered, and the questions became more and more numerous.

Chen Feng still didn't answer.

"Why didn't you think about giving up?"

Chen Feng replied: "Because giving up can't change anything, I don't have the qualifications to give up." ”

"But you carried it, you didn't break down."

"This is not in line with the fundamentals of psychology!" The tone of this sentence has changed, and it is probably only the conclusion of some of the blank people who have delved into psychology very deeply.

This means that the collective will is gradually beginning to split.

The reason for the split is that there is a crack in the absolute logic of their upbringing and the influence of "Song of the World", and their humanity is gradually recovering.

The proportion of this recovery may be very low and cannot be quantified, but it is objective.

Once people have human nature, there will be emotional changes, and opinions will go in different directions, and they will no longer be perfectly coordinated, so they will be divided.

Chen Feng smiled, "So I may be an outlier chosen by fate." Now, in this timeline, you are also unfortunately chosen, do you want to come with me? ”

The silence lasted for a long time.

About ten minutes later, eight million voices were both split and unified.

"Humanity owes us, but we don't blame humanity. Humans didn't do anything wrong, and humans tried, but they just didn't do it. You owe us too, but you didn't do anything wrong. You're not the culprit, and neither is Rei. The culprit is the shackles of fate that hangs over the heads of mankind, the barrier of the solar system! It's the approaching invaders! They really owe us! ”

"The Freedom Front has never given up on us, and you have never given up on humanity. We have no regrets in this life, thank you for giving us the meaning of existence. We are not here for revenge, nor for victory over the enemy, that's your business. We just want to get the meaning of proving that we really existed through you. ”

"We ...... Stay. Thank you, Feng Chen. ”

After speaking, the light and shadow in Chen Feng's mind suddenly dissipated.

Chen Feng raised his head slightly.

The enclosed metal hall was still gray, but his pupils seemed to faintly see countless subtle starlight fluttering in the sky, and the tired birds returned to their nests like they returned to the forest.
