"One of them." The demon looked at me. "We're still looking for him."

"Okay. So he's here? ”

"By the way, at least we can save some trouble." The demon said, "You can still use the metaphorical field generator here, borrow it and use it." ”

"Does this solve the problem?" The white-robed wisdom monk seemed a little surprised: "I haven't used it for a long time, but you can try it." ”

"What's that?" I wondered.

"A machine that can send you 'back'." Devil's Path.

The white-robed intelligent machine got up and walked out at this time, and the demon followed closely behind, motioning for me to follow.

"The principle is more complicated, and I will try to tell you in a way that you can understand." The demon explained to me as he walked. "First of all, you know, humans and sapient machines are fundamentally different life forms, right?"

I nodded, it was obvious.

"The difference is not in the composition of the body. Humans can also change themselves into mechanical bodies through biochemical modification, and robots can also attach limbs to living beings, but this transformation does not change their essence - the form of consciousness. ”

"Forms of consciousness?"

"In fact, even between humans and between human beings, and between intelligent machines, the forms of consciousness are not exactly the same. It's like if you change your body, you may feel very uncomfortable with your body, and even the world in your eyes is different - this is caused by subtle differences in body parts, for example, some people have three types of cone cells, and some people only have two, so although they are all humans, they see the world completely different, and the difference will gradually increase subtly. ”

I pondered for a moment, and it was. But the vast majority of people – who have only done it themselves – have hardly had the opportunity to "really experience what others feel".

"The difference between people is so great, the difference between intelligence and people is not alarmist. Humans think through neurons, and smart machines think through electronic components. Human beings obtain external image information through cell light sensitivity, and intelligent machines use various signals and waves to ...... "magic paused," In short, it is obvious that humans and intelligent machines feel completely two worlds, right? ”

When I heard this, I was stunned.

Two worlds?

I felt it had something in it, but I didn't quite understand it. Indeed, the difference between the two is indeed very large, and even the wisdom machine is extremely efficient in studying the Dharma because of the "six pure roots". But is it possible that the scenes they see, hear, and touch are different?

"Different beings in a world will also feel different worlds. Although they are objectively in the same world, subjectively, the two beings are like living in two very different worlds, even though the two beings can communicate and interact. "Three beings walked around a corner and walked into a hanging staircase that could not be seen at a glance.

This is because life itself cannot be changed due to its own subjective cognition. Of course, in order to avoid natural disasters, human beings in the past transformed themselves into intelligent machines - in fact, this also shows that intelligent machines and human consciousness forms are not as big as imagined. ”

"Since there is such a difference in consciousness between the intelligent machines and humans of the same origin in this world, then, think about it." The demon asked in a seductive tone, sending shivers down my shiver. "True, life from other universes, and life conceived in this world itself...... How different is the form of consciousness? ”

The demon's "eyes" were staring at me. I had a strange feeling for some reason.

So, like Huang Ji and the others, I also came from other universes...... When was it?

To be honest, I don't remember any "sudden" changes in my life, I've lived in this wilderness since the beginning. Perhaps, the world before I "came here" was actually very similar to this?

I thought of the previous Copper Coin Mask Daoist again. From what he said, I could understand what he had been going through for a while - if that had happened to me, I would have been confused. But now that I hear the demon say that, I kind of figure it out.

Maybe that person is just an extremely special physique, and will voluntarily or involuntarily "switch the form of consciousness", causing it to seem that the thinking perspective is changing between the two worlds, but in fact the same world?

"According to the latest results of our scientific research, you 'outsiders' are not actually like 'walking into our room from other rooms', but 'other rooms have a certain sense of integration with our room, so that the consciousness form of certain beings has changed, and all aspects gradually tend to the characteristics of our room'......" said the demon. So, you can understand it, right? ”

"I seem to understand a little." Actually, I don't understand it at all.

"Like, the three of us are going down the stairs right now." The demon seemed to see that I didn't understand much, and made an analogy: "And there may be a scene like this in other worlds, where three humans go down the stairs, but two of them are silent. Then, the person who speaks might say, 'How do you two act like robots?'" ”

Does his parable depict the real situation? Yes, but it's just a metaphor, but it's really happening in our world. And when the two worlds coincide, he may actually see the scene in this parable - of course, this is a purely theoretical model, which is easy for you to understand. ”

I nodded as if I didn't understand.

Ontology and metaphor...... Is it?

"One of the functions of the metaphor generator is to reset the 'metaphor' of things and return them to their original state. Of course, there is also the role of stabilizing and adjusting the Hume index of the environment, which is always on. The closer you get to the heart of the Templar, the more you'll feel the power—oh, forgetting you're not a sapient machine. The white-robed intelligent machine spoke.

Well, it does seem like something has changed along the way.

Hume index ...... The base station corresponding to the water mountain in the last holy city seems to be doing the detection of this thing.

"Alright, here we go." At the end of the dark corridor, a mechanical door with a faint golden light slowly opened.

Behind the door is a dark gold Buddha hall, which looks very similar to the one in the previous Xiaodian Temple. As we entered, the walls of the main hall lit up slightly to create a comforting light. Standing in the middle is probably the generator, running up and down, also glittering with golden light.

"Let's go inside." Devil's Path. "As long as it's not broken, you'll be able to do it."

As you wish...... Actually, I want to know my name more. But I didn't say it, and turned my head to look at the white-robed smart machine.

The white-robed intelligent machine seemed to be speechless: "You can still trust us in this, it can't be broken." ”

I nodded, looked at the huge golden machine that slowly gave birth to an entrance, hesitated for a moment, and walked inside.

As the entrance and exit closed again, my vision changed from bright gold to darkness again.

I don't know how long it took, but my mind gradually became chaotic—
