〈1. That's a lot of〉

Do you often have a sense of déjà vu, a particularly familiar scene, but you can't remember where you saw it?

The explanation of neuroscience is that most of people's memories are fragmented and incomplete, and when people recall something, most of the time and plot are actually put together by the brain, and the facts are sometimes very different from memories, so there are also many strange and often occurring psychological effects, and the feeling of déjà vu is actually a kind of phantom sense of déjà vu that occurs spontaneously by the brain to make memory associations, also known as the phenomenon of déjà vu.

Black Jack, who had just returned home, looked at the room that should have been a mess, but now it had been rearranged and refurbished, and his mind was filled with a very strong sense of déjà vu.

What Three had just said to him had also caused his brain to malfunction, and the unusually familiar sight in front of him had made the impact on Black Jack so strong that he had completely ignored the changes that had taken place in the room.

"Welcome home, respectful... Mr. Blackjack. ”

A virtual image of a butler-like appeared in front of Blackjack, and Blackjack was awakened by his words.

"Who are you and what's going on?"

The virtual image of the butler's appearance was not polite to Blackjack, and he continued Blackjack's words: "You have now been recognized and registered as a full citizen of the new Empire by the newly formed United Empire of the Solar System, and maintaining a clean and tidy home at all times is the most basic benefit of being a full citizen who strives for the future of the Empire. ”

"I'm your virtual butler, my code name is 098, you can change your address to me at any time."

Blackjack, who continued to be stunned, was completely confused, it seemed that it had been less than a month since he left last time, according to his speculation, the Blue Star Alliance should still be suppressing rebellions in various places at this time, and the Freedom Alliance, an independent organization of Red Star, how could a Rausch Solar System United Empire suddenly appear?

"098, what's going on with this official citizen of the empire, and who else asked you to come?"

After Black Jack finished speaking, he quietly asked Zhanyang in his mind to be ready to open the door of the space-time dimension at any time, the current situation is unknown, and he must be prepared just in case.

"The official identity of the Imperial Citizen is determined by the Imperial Brain after a comprehensive evaluation and a resolution through a vote by the United Imperial Council of Impartiality."

"All official citizens of the empire will be equipped with a smart butler with a fully assisted life management and collaborative assistant, and having a smart butler is the identity authentication of the official citizen of the empire."

"All intelligent housekeepers are exclusive intelligent housekeepers independently configured by the Imperial Brain for citizen characteristics and internal permissions, and the core system of the intelligent housekeeper is always linked to the Imperial Brain to ensure that the intelligent housekeeper continues to maintain the optimal state."

The smart housekeeper who was full of spring breeze just now made people feel refreshed, and with the passage of time, some changes have gradually taken place.

"So, the Imperial Brain sent you?" Blackjack finished speaking and then asked, "I remember last time... No, I remember that the solar system is obviously under the jurisdiction of the Blue Star Alliance, this newly formed United Solar System Empire..."

Blackjack didn't actually intend to ask at first, but after he learned that behind this intelligent butler was an intelligent system that suspected to control the entire network of the new empire, he changed his mind.

"Di, Imperial Brain initiates a call request, to determine whether the call Brain will temporarily replace 098, whether to agree."

The main lord is coming, and Blackjack certainly has no reason to refuse.

"Hello, Blackjack, a marauder who shuttles between dreams and reality, I am the central brain of the new United Empire of the solar system, codenamed 001."

What the brain said was what it was, Blackjack didn't understand at all.

"Hello, 001, what is the Marauder, I am not a Marauder, I am a witness recognized by the Heart of the Ocean, the Great Ruler of the Nuclear Crystal."

Although he couldn't understand it, Blackjack still determined something through the information confided by the brain, so he deliberately said his identity in another dimension of time and space, in order to test what the brain knew.

"You're not a marauder?" The faceless brain shook for a while.

"001 is unable to cope with the current situation, the intelligent system operation mode has been switched, the omnipotence mode has been activated, and 002-009 has been connected."

The information happens inside the brain, and Blackjack doesn't know what kind of changes have happened to the brain in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Blackjack, reacquaint ourselves with the Supreme Power Exerciser of the United Empire, the strongest backing to ensure the rise of the Empire, the Imperial Council of Justice."

The faceless brain should be 001, and the Imperial Council of Justice that appeared at this time was composed of 002-009, so his current image is changing in turns, sometimes male, sometimes female, looking at the embarrassing batch of Black Jack.

"Well, this... Hello. ”

"Mr. Blackjack, based on our misunderstanding of you, we apologize first."

The Council of Justice saluted before the soldiers, and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Blackjack can elaborate on your identity as a Witness to the Heart of the Sea and the Ruler of the Nuclear Crystal?" ”

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, the empire still treats you as a guest, and we want to know about you, just for the sake of more stable growth of the empire in the future."

"Yes." Blackjack's answer was quick and succinct. "I will directly ask Zhanyang to transmit the relevant information to you, which is clearer and faster than I can explain it myself."

He has a safe way back, and these materials that will not harm his own interests will be given.

Zhanyang directly sends the data to the virtual image, and the powerful side of the intelligent brain is revealed.

All other signal transmissions within its signal coverage can be easily captured by the brain, even if it is a physically isolated network hidden behind a signal shielding facility, including the electrical signal transmission of the human brain.

But Blackjack is an exception, so the brain initially judged Blackjack to be a mysterious force that had been "suspected" to appear in the old era, and only a few people with strange brain functions deduced from the mutilated electrical signals left in the brains, dream predators.

Soon, Zhi Brain finished interpreting the data transmitted by Zhanyang.

"Original..."

The intelligent brain that finished reading the information was just about to speak, and suddenly it began to flicker again.

The image of Zhi Brain changed several times, and finally stopped at the image of a handsome middle-aged man.

The man's eyes were still strange, and he looked at Blackjack as if he was trying to think about something.

Blackjack didn't speak, he was waiting for the brain to speak first.

"I'm sorry." The man's first words made Black Jack stunned again, not only his inexplicable apology, but also his voice.

The voice that Blackjack will always remember, the voice that he once thought about day and night, the one... He didn't know that the existence that appeared again in his life and was erased again, his father, Hei Zhanyang.

"Who are you, how can your voice be..."

Inexplicable emotions welled up in his heart, and Black Jack forcibly suppressed it, his voice a little hoarse.

"How can it be exactly the same as my father's voice..."

"Yes, I just remembered that you are mine... Son. ”

The virtual image's face is clearer, and Blackjack's long-sealed memories are completely unsealed.

This unusually familiar room decoration was the one he had personally decorated since he took him to live here for the first time, and the face of the man in front of him was the familiar face that had long been blurred for unknown reasons.

The two father and son met and should have had a good talk, but Blackjack quickly broke away from that state, which was obviously the heart of insight at work.

"No, you're not my father." Black Jack wiped the moisture from his eyes: "Your voice is exactly the same as Daddy, and your face is even more so, but you are not Daddy, at least not the Daddy I remember." ”

“… You're right. The man's excited expression when he met his parents and children just now instantly became flat: "I can only be regarded as half of your father now, at least I still retain all the consciousness structure." ”

"Although the part about useless emotions was replaced by the data of the central intelligent brain, I was also helpless, the whole plan was imminent, but none of the people who were always vigilant were capable of this task, and I happened to be the promoter of the plan, and I couldn't watch the plan fail."

"What are your plans, are these more important than me?" When Black Jack heard Zhi Brain's explanation, his emotions became a little excited again: "Since it doesn't matter if you have me or not, why did you create me in the first place and kill my mother for this." ”

Blackjack's memories are forgotten, never driven by time or apparently unknown reasons, the main reason has always been that he himself is deliberately shielded, which is why he has always been addicted to endless war games, obsessed with destruction and destruction.

"Your mother, it was just an accident, I didn't expect it at the beginning, but ......" Zhi Brain was a little short-circuited, and the other members of the Justice Council were urging him to end the meaningless conversation quickly.

"Alas, I have never tried to ask for your forgiveness, it was all my fault." The image of the brain is stable again, and his feelings this time are completely different from the previous virtual imitation, and they are more real than them.

The current Hei Zhanyang is indeed the one who disappeared on the so-called secret mission back then, after he uploaded most of his consciousness, his brain also failed, and those remaining consciousnesses were magically captured by another unknown existence, and the inevitable closed loop of time and space was also merged.

"But everything I did was originally intended for the entire Blue Star Human Race, and for that greater existence, I had to give up everything, including my beloved, my life."

"We have been preparing for this plan for nearly twenty years, during which we have sacrificed countless brave devotees, and we have carried too much to stop from the beginning."

"The dissolution of the Blue Star Alliance this time is part of a long plan."

"For the sake of the future generations, the footsteps of the human race must not stop moving forward all the time, but the false stability and the agreement signed when the Blue Star Alliance was established have seriously hindered the progress of progress."

"Long-term stability will make those who are not determined to be determined become more confused, and those who cannot find their goal will make countless choices, some of which are devastating."

"In order to undo these mistakes that have made the road bumpy again, we must let history repeat itself, allowing the good to repeat the mistakes of the past, while avoiding the mistakes of the bad ones."

"The first guide of the Galactic Empire, he once fantasized about a concept called psychohistory, which also did to make history repeat itself and push the wheels of history in the direction he predetermined."

"The guide understands his own flaws, and the seemingly complex creature of human beings is essentially just some simple code, but these codes are combined with each other to derive infinite possibilities."

"And among those possibilities, there are hidden changes that cannot be found, and the root of these changes is the change itself."

"The road of history has always been a smooth road, but the person who walks on it is a naughty little ghost."

"What the empire is doing now is advancing the inevitability of history, which will also have a lot of uncontrollable changes and errors, so in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, we have us."

Listening to Hei Zhanyang's explanation here, Black Jack spoke: "Father, I don't know about you..."

Hei Zhanyang interrupted Black Jack's words: "It's okay my son, you don't need to be sad for me, this is my bounden obligation as a Blue Star person." ”

"Countless great ancestors have worked hard for the future of mankind, it is an ode that can never be sung, but the efforts of the ancestors are definitely not to gain the praise and admiration of the descendants, this is a lesson that every Blue Star person should keep in mind."

"Besides, I have you again now, and everything will be fine"

"From now on, I can accompany you forever, and the future of the human race will be bright."
