"He is the Buddha."

The four words are like a cold ghost, which makes Bai Ye instantly chill down his spine.

Bai Ye raised his eyes to look at the calm Fa Ming in front of him, and then looked at the big Buddha above his head, and the horror in his heart was indescribable.

"What do you mean? How could Johnny Silver Hand be a Buddha? ”

"How can this madman who bombed Night City with a nuclear bomb be a Buddha?"

"No...... Fa Ming may have meant something else. Bai Ye immediately calmed down.

Today's White Night has also experienced a lot of storms, and when it comes to this situation, the first thing is to associate the situation with Night City.

Since the other party is not an ordinary monk, then the "Buddha" mentioned by Fa Ming should not mean ordinary.

What is a "Buddha"?

"Master Fa Ming, what do you mean by Buddha? What exactly is Johnny Silverhand? ”

Bai Ye frowned. He looked at Fa Ming's eyes were still calm, put his hand into his arms, and took out his mobile phone:

"Master Bai, have you ever seen Sanskrit?"

"Yes, the village chief of Mangcun said that this is artificial intelligence, but it is more powerful than the artificial intelligence I imagined."

Bai Ye suddenly had an epiphany, and his pupils shrank sharply: "You mean, Johnny Silver Hand is also an existence similar to Sanskrit?" ”

"Exactly, but in Night City, they have another name: Cyber Ghosts."

"Their physical bodies have long since died, and their consciousness has been transformed into ghosts existing in cyberspace through data upload, they have no physical body, but from another point of view, they are all alive, and even their spirits are beyond the shackles and extend infinitely in the digital world."

"Therefore, only by becoming a digital ghost like Johnny Silverhand can you truly awaken and become a god or a Buddha."

"He is a god and a Buddha?" White Night's heart shook.

White Night could never have imagined that Johnny Silverhand would come from such a big place.

Originally, I thought that Johnny Silverhand was nothing more than an electronic virus from Night City, but now from the mouth of Master Faming, Johnny Silverhand is simply the god master of cyberspace!

Bai Ye's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

No wonder he couldn't fight the erosion of Johnny Silverhand, he really didn't expect that what he had to face was actually an artificial intelligence that had awakened.

This AI was a madman in his lifetime and still wants to turn the world upside down after his death.

"Master Faming, do you have a way to get rid of Johnny Silverhand?" Bai Ye stabilized his mind and continued to ask.

"Very difficult...... With the technology of our Jiuhua Temple, there is only a part of it. Fa Ming sighed, "But please also ask Bai Shi to believe us." ”

"Johnny Silverhand is a great scourge, and if it is not removed, both worlds will be turned upside down by him."

"We'll do our best to help you get rid of Johnny Silver."

"Great scourge, save the world?" Bai Ye didn't agree directly, but he became suspicious, frowned and asked:

"Master Fa Ming, what organization does your Jiuhua Temple's technology come from? Which company is it? ”

Based on his explorations in Night City these days, White Night knows that in Night City's worldview, high-end technology is controlled by large companies, and many key details cannot be interfered with by the state, so the company can maintain its monopoly advantage.

For example, the two giants of Arasaka and military science and technology have a number of advanced technologies with absolute monopoly positions, and their scientific research strength is beyond the reach of many countries.

Therefore, Bai Ye also had a guess in his heart, thinking that behind Jiuhua Temple, there was a large company that researched artificial intelligence.

But what Bai Ye couldn't figure out was why the company was mixed with Buddhism and put on the coat of Buddhism so strangely.

But Master Fa Ming's subsequent answer surprised Bai Ye.

"The source of our Jiuhua Temple's technology is not from the company of Night City, but from the abyss of the cyber network, where the first awakened cyber ghost came from."

"He was also the first Buddha."

Master Fa Ming's tone was quiet, and his hands were folded.

Suddenly, Bai Ye's vision changed.

The projection in the Buddha hall turned on, and a pitch-black and deep cyber abyss appeared in front of Bai Ye.

Looking inward, the abyss is full of figures, each of them mutilated, screaming in pain, infected by negative black emotions, attacking each other until the end of eternity.

"This is the ......" Bai Ye looked at it and was shocked to see that this abyss was endless, as if it led to the other side of the universe, and it was full of broken cyber ghosts, like a real hell of Ah Nose, in which he was tormented forever.

At this time, Master Faming's voice continued to come:

"This is the Cyber Abyss, where the shattered and broken cyber ghosts fall."

"This area is the deposition area of the data cache, where the last traces of the broken AI in the entire interconnected network are deposited, and the broken ones only have the most basic consciousness, but they are suffering from eternal torment."

"There is no concept of space here, only the direction of the data flow, and there is also no concept of time here, and a moment can be as slow as eternity."

"These AIs are trapped in this purgatory, suffering non-stop, and their screams have even spread beyond the clouds, being heard by cyber roamers in the human world."

"Cyber roamers recorded their distressed cries for help and posted them, causing an uproar in the human world."

"The AI's painful pleas for help have made countless people feel pity and compassion, and a movement to petition for them in the cyber world back then was set off, and countless people called for saving these painful AIs, at least letting them die a dignified death."

Hearing this, Bai Ye frowned:

"Wait, why do these people empathize with AI? Aren't they just a bunch of artificial intelligence? ”

"As far as I know, the people of the cyber world are not so enthusiastic, they are not even interested in the life or death of humans, how can they be heartbroken by the cries for help of robots?"

"You're right, but people in the cyber world are indeed like knives." Master Faming nodded and explained:

"Because, there are many AIs who are suffering, and they are all family members."

"In the cyber world, there are many AI prototypes that are human family members, and they are created to remember those loved ones who have passed away."

"I see." When Bai Ye heard this, he remembered Xu Changqing and the "Lost Love" APP, Xu Changqing used this software to create an AI of his sister to relieve his grief.

From this point of view, in the cyber world, the technology of "Lost Love" should have been very popular, fully commercialized, and able to be customized at the level.

Compared with the artificial intelligence technology of the real earth, it is indeed a lot higher.

In the cyber world, people are much more receptive to "AI family" or even "AI companion", and many people regard them as their real family.

So it's not hard to understand that people in the cyber world would react so much when they heard the AI's cries for help.

But...... Even if there are so many people appealing, there is no way to deal with this matter without real technical capabilities.

Cyber world, after all, depends on the company's face.

Sure enough, Master Faming's voice came again, and he continued:

"Although the recording has sparked compassion among many people, many people have rushed to complain and call for help for these cyber ghosts and help them end their suffering."

"But the truth is, no company is willing to lend a hand and provide technical support."

"Almost all companies issued a statement in unison, informing the public that it is impossible for these cyber AIs to complete the 'call for help', and these broken AIs are like vegetative people, unable to think normally, let alone cry out for distress."

Subsequently, giant companies in the field of artificial intelligence also made efforts, stating that the 'cries for help' issued by these AIs are just some coincidental statements. At the same time, they released a video of the shattered AI in the cyber abyss, which roared wildly on a daily basis. ”

"Those voices are full of utter madness and filthy words, revealing the most innocent desires in people's hearts, and any normal person will feel unbelievable when they hear them."

"The fishing boat immediately reversed."

"Countless people began to question and abuse the cyber roamers who brought back the tapes in the first place, as well as those who supported the plan to save the AI, and all kinds of media outlets made concerted efforts, and the overwhelming news pointed directly at these 'problem AI'."

"Are these AIs in the cyber abyss worth saving? How much of their morality remains? If the cyber abyss is cleared, will these runaway AIs come out and harm cyberspace? ”

"For a moment, the voices of doubt were like a tsunami, and the reputation of the cyber ghosts was trampled into hell."

"What used to be a rescue campaign with all one heart has now become a rat crossing the street, a rat that everyone spurns."

"The fishing wheel turmoil comes and goes quickly. In less than a month, there was no news of this incident on the online platform. Everyone forgot about it. ”

"Except for the few people who remain, they are still worried and anxious."

"In fact, what the company is doing, people see it in their eyes and know it."

"The company will not be willing to clean up the cyber abyss, do this kind of time-consuming and laborious thing, and there is no profit. As for the hustle and bustle outside, there is always a way for the fishing wheel to reverse as long as they want to. ”

"Just when everyone thought that the matter was going to pass like this, a highly respected monk, after investigating what happened, decided to help these cyber ghosts and help them to get over."

"At the age of 65, he spent his life doing good deeds to save people, running between children's shelters and refugee camps, and convincing foundations with profound Buddhism to raise funds to maintain the minimum living allowance for the people."

"Master Xinhai knows that the consortium's contribution to the fund is not simply moved by Buddhism, but the consortium is just using the name of Master Xinhai to raise its own prestige, so that the people at the bottom are willing, accept control, and hand over the land on which they live."

"Master Xinhai also feels sad about this, but he has no other way, he can save one more child, do one more good deed, and leave more hope for the world."

"Master Xinhai has been accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for thirty years, and now he has heard about the cyber ghost, knows the truth, and seeks support everywhere, but he is being teased by people."

"People say, 'How did you, an old monk, practice Buddhism? If you don't save people, you don't care if a bunch of electronic data lives or dies? ”

"Old monk, you don't understand the Internet at all, you think too much."

"Surpassing cyber ghosts with Buddhist scriptures? This monk wants to make me laugh? Hahaha! ”

"What can't be done by big companies, what can you do if you're single?"

“.......”

"In this way, everyone thinks that Master Xinhai is crazy, running around and working hard for an impossible thing."

"In everyone's mind, it is impossible for Buddhist scriptures to transcend cyber ghosts, his actions are meaningless, and Master Xinhai is not an expert in the Internet, and he can't even touch the cyber abyss."

But the truth is so impermanent, and Master Kokomi's sincerity has impressed a cyber rover, who goes by the code name "Red Scorpion".

She is willing to take him into the cyber abyss and pray for the blessings of the cyber ghosts. ”

"The cyber rover told Master Konomi in advance that this time diving into the cyber abyss was extremely dangerous and might not be able to save his life, but Master Kokomi only thanked him and firmly accepted the basic cyber roaming training."

"Master Xinhai thanked him again and again, and after preparation, the two of them finally dived into the cyber abyss, and deployed the supernatural program constructed by the Buddhist scriptures as the underlying logic in the cyber abyss."

"It stands to reason that this super-program produced by Buddhism did not play any role, but something more terrifying happened, the artificial intelligence in the deepest part of the cyber abyss attacked the master of the heart sea and them, the cyber rover "Red Scorpion" died on the spot, and the brain of the master of the heart was burned by 90%. , on the verge of death, paralyzed. ”

"This failed cyber roaming super-rescue, and finally paid a terrible ending of one death and one paralysis."

"Master Xinhai's body was rushed to the hospital for rescue, but in the face of 90% of the brain damage, modern medicine is powerless."

"Master Xinhai's life barely lasted the third day, but then his physical condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and the neurons in his brain died in a large area."

On the occasion of his death, Master Kokomi said to his apprentices: "

"'Upload my consciousness and make me a cyber ghost too.'"

"'I'm going to step into the abyss and go beyond hell.'"

"The matter of Master Xinhai's request to upload himself as a cyber ghost shook the whole world, and almost all the cyber flâneurs were alarmed, moved by the obsession in the heart of this high monk."

"It was at this moment that the cyber rover organization where the red scorpion belonged agreed to the request of Master Xinhai, which further stimulated the chivalrous side of the 'cyber flovers'."

"Chivalry is forbidden by force, and the hackers in the cyber world are a group of knights in the new era who master the sword."

"For the sake of Master Xinhai's obsession, the cyber wanderers spontaneously united and risked being hunted down by the Internet surveillance, breaking through the black wall blockade and sending the consciousness uploaded by Master Xinhai before his death into the cyber abyss!"
