"What did you just give me?"

Seeing the panic in Eliot's eyes, Du Wei chuckled:

"Wouldn't it be too late to ask now?"

Hearing Du Wei's rhetorical question, Eliot was stunned at first, and then said with a wry smile:

"Indeed, whatever its side effects, I've taken it now.

At this point, it is useless to dwell on the past.

So, as long as I can continue to solve the problem for you, you will give me a stable supply of this medicine, right?"

Seeing that Elliot quickly adapted to the effects of NZT, Du Wei smiled:

"Then aren't you afraid that its side effects will cost you your life?"

After the initial panic, Elliot had calmed down.

Faced with Du Wei's question, Elliot, who felt that he was in extremely good shape, was now able to reply very calmly.

"I'm more afraid of Mr. Robot using my body to do something I don't want to do than I want to lose my life.

So as long as I can suppress his appearance, I can bear any price, including my life."

Looking at Eliot, who was no longer socially phobic under the influence of NZT, Du Wei turned and walked towards the door.

"Come with me, I need you to see what he's doing in there."

Elliot didn't hesitate and walked directly to keep up with Du Wei's pace.

Now his sober mind kept telling him that Du Wei, who could easily take out that kind of drug, was naturally an existence that could not be refused.

Du Wei can help him suppress Mr. Robot now, so naturally he can also help Mr. Robot suppress him.

So even if his heart is full of boundless confidence now, he will not be arrogant enough to try to challenge Dewey.

Soon, he met the Samaritans, or "imitators" he had also participated in the optimization.

"Hello, imitator."

Elliot took the initiative to greet the cold machine in front of him.

[Hello, Elliot, it's nice to see you again.] 】

"Let me see what's wrong with you."

[I need to ask my father's permission for this.] 】

Along with this passage comes a GIF with a pair of big eyes.

The eyes were now aimed at where Du Wei was.

After seeing Du Wei nod, the imitator showed off his growing codebase.

If it had been before, Elliot would have had a headache in the face of this mountain of code.

But now the code that pours down like a waterfall is incredibly clear to him.

This strange sensation immediately made Elliot realize that the drug he had just taken might have the effect of activating the brain.

The manifestations of this drug seem to have seen somewhere.

Just as Elliot had the idea, memories from years ago came flooding back to him.

That's what he saw when he was surfing a dark web forum.

At that time, he thought that the man must have been hallucinating caused by too much forbidden drugs.

After all, after using the drug, called NZT, in the man's description, he could get started in any foreign language within an hour.

Elliot's reason for not believing him is also very simple, if this drug can really be so miraculous, then now people don't have to study all kinds of knowledge hard, just take the medicine.

But now, when he really felt the miraculous effect of similar drugs, he had to believe that the person really didn't knock much, and what the person said was indeed true.

That's how he feels right now.

The huge waterfall of code in front of him was still able to deal with it in a categorical way, even when he was focusing on two things.

Even according to Mr. Robot's habits, he has pinpointed the problem in that massive amount of code.

Mr. Robot secretly writes an "improvised" code in the imitator's code.

"Stop."

As Elliot spoke, the waterfall flow of code stopped instantly.

Elliot glanced at Dewey and pointed to one of the inconspicuous codes:

"Here he uses multiple seemingly meaningless pieces of code to form what we call 'improvisation'.

This code is very random, and its main role is to unlock the creativity of the AI.

So what you just noticed is basically this code at work.

It opens up the improvisation space of the imitator, so as to jump out of the category of imitation and have self-awareness.

However, because the code is already entangled with the underlying code, deleting it directly will cause the imitator to go down.

So if you want to fix it, it's tantamount to reconstructing the imitators.

Do you want me to do it?"

Eliot's words fell, and a tearful GIF immediately appeared on the display screen that was the output window of the imitator's consciousness looking at Du Wei.

Apparently it is also aware of the meaning of the so-called re-re-enactment of its existing consciousness.

And after Eliot pointed out the specific code in the massive code, Dewey also instantly understood the meaning of the combination of these seemingly useless codes.

It's hard to say that Mr. Robot did this on purpose with malicious intent, it's more like a little prank.

And this kind of improvisation gives the imitator more room to play, so that Du Wei does not always feel that he is facing himself.

After thinking for a while, Du Wei waved his hand and said:

"No, since it's not malicious code, there's no need to fix it."

Hearing Du Wei's decision, Elliot nodded calmly and didn't say much.

But in fact, he also noticed the amount of data that the imitator did not match his size.

Given the speed at which machines collect data, it is impossible for an imitator to process so much data in just a few days.

There is only one possibility behind this, and that is that the server used by the imitator is quantum-level.

Such servers are currently only available in the labs of major institutions.

And Du Wei can directly use this kind of quantum server for imitators, which clearly means that Du Wei has been involved in cutting-edge technology.

Coupled with the drugs he had given him earlier, Elliot was almost certain that Du Wei must have secretly mastered many top companies.

This situation reminds Elliot of a term that often appears on the dark web - high tables.

Company E, which he hated, was also inextricably linked to the high table.

So is Du Wei actually his own enemy?

Elliot, who had doubts in his heart, was able to control his facial expressions well at this time, maintaining his usual calm.

If it was what he had suspected, then he would have to really blend in and find out the facts as he had been in Company E.

And then...... Destroy it!

When Elliot looked up again, he noticed that Dewey was staring at him at some point.

And in addition to Du Wei, the eyes on the display also turned to stare at Elliot vacantly.

Elliot is now completely immune to this creepy scene.

There was not even a hint of fluctuation in his tone, and he calmly asked:

"What's wrong?"

After looking Eliot up and down, Du Wei replied with a smile:

"Looks like NZT has helped you a lot.

It's just that there are a few things you need to know.

From beginning to end, your current personality is your main personality, and the reason why Mr. Robot appears is because of your weakness and desire to escape.

In other words, you have chosen the personality of Mr. Robot to control your body.

You can know this if you look back on the past.

Because of this, it is strengthened by NZT

Only when you have the main personality can you suppress the birth of the idea of escaping because of weakness.

However, it is common for people who take NZT for the first time to have the illusion that "the world is in my hands".

So just in case you have something in your head that you shouldn't have, I can be frank and tell you that if you stop taking the drug, you won't die for a while.

But you'll get into trouble with bipolar disorder.

This is more of a headache than your multiple personalities.

In addition, the E company you are trying to bring down is actually not enough to be a pawn of the main god group.

Right? Realized, right? Even if you have NZT, you can't be omniscient about the world.

Like you're wondering what the Lord God Group is right now, right?"

Eliot's calm expression was finally broken by Dewey's words.

Du Wei is more aware of his own situation than he does.

And as Du Wei said, while feeling that he seemed to be omnipotent, he never thought that there was anything he didn't know, until Du Wei said the name that made him extremely unfamiliar - the main god group.

He had never thought that Company E was the final trial level of the brave, and he never thought that what he thought of as the final level was just another beginning.

Under Du Wei's current reminder, he did realize the limitations that NZT had brought to him - intelligence.

With insufficient intelligence, he is still an ignorant man, even with the help of the NZT.

It's like he didn't even know that the side effect after stopping NZT was actually bipolar disorder.

Du Wei's words instantly turned Eliot, who felt as tall as a giant, into an underground dwarf.

And at the same time, he realized that since the drug was available on a regular basis, it must be a mass-produced product.

Then when all people are taking NZT, the IQ gap between them will also be smoothed out.

That said, no matter what the situation, he Elliot is not the only special guy.

Realizing this, Elliot's heart, which had swelled with NZT, instantly returned to normal.

"Thanks for the advice, can I ask the Lord God Group where it is sacred?"

Seeing that Elliot finally stopped having a cold face, Du Wei replied:

"Since you have been active on the dark web for many years, you must have heard of the name of the high table, and you should have known its danger through various deeds.

So why don't you doubt that this kind of E-company, which has mastered most of the world's financial software development, will not be a high-level company?"

With NZT's help, the extremely responsive Elliot immediately answered:

"Are you saying that Company E is actually the puppet company of the Main God Group under the High Table?"

"That's right, so if you're not ready to take on the high table, you can get out of here now and go back to being your cybersecurity engineer.

As for the side effects of NZT, that's really just me scaring you.

After using NZT for the first time, you will feel exhausted and the urge to use NZT again at best.

After a while, you can quit it."

After speaking, Du Wei made a gesture of please.

Eliot is now completely uncertain about Dewey's words about the side effects of NZT.

But one thing he was sure of was that he didn't want to see a cold-blooded company like Company E continue to exist.

He is willing to sacrifice everything for this.

Even if the opponent is a high table!

But then again, it turns out that Du Wei is not a person with a high table?

It seems that the powerful analytical capabilities brought by NZT are still too limited by the amount of intelligence they can obtain.

After a brief thought, Elliot decisively rejected the offer to leave the place.

"No, if the main god group behind Company E really belongs to the high table, then my goal is no longer to bring down Company E.

I'm going to take down the raised table

until I die."

Hearing Eliot's declaration, Du Wei smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a bag of clear pills.

"Very well, then these are yours.

Also, what I just said about NZT is true.

If you don't want its help, then you can choose to flush this thing down the drain.

I guarantee that a specially designed sewer network will make it impossible to find the NZT you discarded when you have a drug addiction.

As for how to choose, I will not interfere with your decision.

So, now, welcome to The Salvation Organization!

Let's work together for the light of humanity!"

Elliot looked at the two hundred and twenty-three small transparent pills in his hand and fell into deep thought.

To use or not to use?

This is also an extremely difficult choice for Elliot, who owns NZT.

He has experienced the effects of NZT firsthand.

With the help of this little pill, he will definitely be the top hacker in the world, there is no one!

But he also understands that this kind of stuff is addictive.

In the end, he will most likely become unavoidable, and this pill is provided by Du Wei.

That is to say, in the back, no matter whether Du Wei's goal is a high table or not, he has to obey Du Wei's orders when he is subject to pills.

Choosing to continue to take it is equivalent to putting your fate in the hands of Du Wei!

So flush it down the drain?

Elliot, who had returned to the room at some point, looked at the white toilet in front of him, and was very entangled.

And Du Wei, who remained by the imitator's side, seemed to hear a faint pumping sound.

Du Wei looked at the screen in front of him and smiled, then asked:

"With your algorithm, how likely is it that Elliot will discard NZT?"

[0%, no one can refuse a stronger self, and people will always have a reason to convince themselves to accept this gift in the end. 】

"That's right, whether it's to bring down Company E, or the Lord God Group, or the high table.

Elliot would always have a reason to convince himself to continue taking the medication.

In other words, he is now completely ours.

From the mind to the body.

Alright, since your research on quantum servers is slowing down right now, let's pause for now.

Based on the data I've given you, what are the chances that the androids in Westworld will succeed in resisting?"
