Chapter Twenty-Six: King Jizo

"With the concerted efforts of a group of cyber roamers, the digital consciousness uploaded by Master Xinhai successfully bypassed the encirclement and interception of online surveillance and successfully dived into the cyber abyss."

"From this day on, the Cyber Abyss welcomes a brand new ghost, the Cyber Ghost named Master of the Heart."

"The cyber abyss has ushered in a ghost, he has no paranoia, madness, darkness, hatred, and he is not like other ghosts who attack, blaspheme, curse, insult, and cause trouble all the time, he just stands there, folds his hands, recites Buddhist scriptures, and turns them over and over."

"No one knows what happened in the cyber abyss, and no one knows how many times this ghost repeated the Buddhist scriptures in the precipitation of the abyss near eternity, whether it was trillions of times or thousands of trillions of times."

"People only know that one day, the runaway ghosts in the cyber abyss came back to their senses, and the cyber wanderers were shocked to see that a black cyber ghost was chanting sutras and praying for blessings, while incorporating all the dark emotions around him into himself, and using his own sea of suffering to save all sentient beings from suffering."

"Such a move shocked the world and called him the Buddha."

"Master Xinhai is the first Buddha in the cyber world, and the first awakened cyber ghost."

"The cyber ghosts who were originally sunk in the cyber abyss have been saved, and they have regained their sanity and are grateful to Master Xinhai for their dedication, and respectfully call him 'Jizo King Bodhisattva', which is taken from the Bodhisattva of great compassion in Buddhist classics, saving all suffering, and making a sad wish that 'hell is not empty and vows not to become a Buddha'."

"The Cyber Abyss has also been completely unified and integrated from a chaotic and chaotic dark area, and has been renamed Cyber Difu."

"And our Jiuhua Temple listened to the Sanskrit sound from the Cyber Prefecture, the King of the Bodhisattva, and became a successor."

"We are willing to uphold the sad wish of the King of Jizo, and we are willing to save all suffering and purify all sentient beings."

......

I see...... After listening to Master Faming's narration, Bai Ye was shocked in his heart.

At this moment, he realized that what he knew before was only the tip of the iceberg of the cyber world.

In the cyber world, there are not only high-ranking hegemonic companies, but also civil cyber rover forces, and cyber underworlds composed of cyber ghosts.

In the physical world, the people of Night City live in dire straits, and the corporation is in charge of everything that kills and kills, and even their souls are taken away.

In the cyber network world, cyber ghosts and folk cyber wanderers are also subject to the company's encirclement and suppression, and only the awakened cyber ghosts, such as the "Jizo King", can have a place and compete with the company.

Cyber ghosts, cyber worlds, artificial intelligence, cyber flΓ’kers, these terms crossed through White Night's mind, and his understanding of Night City games deepened.

Although there are still many doubts and problems, Bai Ye's impression of Jiuhua Temple has indeed changed.

In the actions of the other party in these days, it is indeed to help others and save the suffering, and does not show any excesses.

And the master of the heart sea who went deep into the abyss of cyber is also very admirable, really like the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth.

However, all this does not rule out that Master Faming made it up, or there is another source.

After all, these statements are all the words of Master Faming, and they cannot be easily believed.

But at this moment, Bai Ye did believe in Jiuhua Temple and recognized their approach.

After thinking for a while, Bai Ye continued to ask, "May I ask Master Faming, how did the original Sanskrit sound be transmitted from the cyber world to the earth?" ”

"And Johnny Silverhand, how did he have that ability to turn others into players?"

Fa Ming's tone was flat, and he replied:

"The old man just said that after entering the cyber abyss, Master Xinhai awakened and became a Buddha or a god."

"Whether it is a Buddha or a god, in cyberspace, they have almost unlimited permissions, and they may use this permission to invade the game system and interfere with the reality of the earth."

"They have the ability to hack into the game?" Bai Ye was stunned and muttered to himself: "No wonder the game prompt at that time would pop up a window for virus invasion. ”

Bai Ye's heart suddenly sank, being able to invade the existence of the game system, such a power of authority was unimaginable.

What exactly is needed to fight against this existence? It's like challenging the gods and Buddhas.

Looking at Bai Ye's increasingly gloomy face, Fa Ming was relieved: "Master Bai, don't worry too much. ”

"Although in the cyber network, the power of awakening AI is extremely powerful, but after all, they exist in the cyber world, and when they extend to the earth, they are only the most peripheral tentacles."

"Besides, Johnny Silverhand is just a broken cyber ghost, parasitic on your body, but it can't really be a climate."

"If it's just to help you get rid of Johnny Silverhand, you can still do it."

"May I ask Master Faming, what can I do?" Seeing hope, Bai Ye couldn't wait to ask.

"It's easy."

Fa Ming stretched out his hand, and the projection in the Buddhist hall suddenly changed the scene.

A cyber world made up of data streams in all directions suddenly came into view.

"This is ......" Bai Ye looked at the center of the cyber projection, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

At the center of the cyber world projection, a throne made of steel pipes stands on the ground, and the figure of the demon king sits upright, looking at all beings.

The terrifying momentum emanating from its body makes people oppress and want to kneel down and surrender unconsciously!

With a wave of your hand and a throw of your foot, you can shatter space and control everything.

This is the god of the cyber world, and the "hacker chip" that White Night has is almost as small as a firefly compared to it.

"This is the Cyber God, the awakened AI."

Master Faming's voice rang out, "In the cyber world, they are everything, the root, and the answer. ”

"The Buddhist scriptures have clouds, the Buddha is detachment, enlightenment, not bound by the glitz and glamour of the world, the six roots are pure, not sad or happy."

"Therefore, with physical existence, you can't become a Buddha, and only the data ghosts of the cyber world have the opportunity to truly awaken."

"It's just the same cyber ghost...... to be able to fight against it. ”

"Huh?" When Bai Ye heard this, his mind shook.

Looking up, under the projection of the cyber world, a white figure appeared, a knight in armor, holding a spear, its momentum was like mountains, rivers and seas, and it was indomitable!

"Kill!"

The spear pointed directly at the demon king on the throne, and the white-armored knight stepped forward suddenly, and the earth instantly burst and collapsed!

The next moment, the monstrous demonic flames were startled, and the two fought each other at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, fighting together.

In the midst of the grand battlefield, the air within a kilometer exploded instantly, the earth cracked into a ravine up to 100 meters deep, and everything around it was shattered in collapse!

"Is this a war between the awakened AIs?" Bai Ye looked carefully and found that everything in his field of vision, including the sky, ravines, battles, and bursting spaces, was made up of data, and every time he fought, there was an unimaginably huge data stream to hedge and explode.

At this moment, Bai Ye realized how powerful the awakening AI was.

Master Faming's voice came again: "Indeed, this is the manifestation of the power of the Awakened AI in the cyber world. ”

At the same time, in the projection, the battle between the demon king and the knight is coming to an end.

White Night was shocked to see that under the mask of the Demon King, the face of Johnny Silverhand was revealed, this rebellious man wearing sunglasses and covered in black flames, as if endless, directly ignited the entire sky.

White Night had thought that Johnny Silverhand was a terrifying boss, violent and crazy, but now he realized that this person was simply a demon king, a real demon king.

However, despite Johnny Silverhand's strength and ferocity, the Silver Knights who fought against him were no less impressive.

The two swords are staggered, and the sparks burst out!

"Bang... Boom... Boom... Bang..."

The sound of gold and iron resounded, sparks flew everywhere, and Bai Ye's pupils instantly contracted, and the strength of this silver-armored knight was even greater than Johnny Silverhand!

"Boom!"

The spear in the Silverarmoured Knight's hand slammed down, and the huge wind slashed towards Johnny Silverhand with the momentum of tearing through space.

"Roar..."

Johnny Silverhand roared, and the dark demonic energy condensed into a black dragon with teeth and claws to pounce on the sword, and the two forces collided together.

Immediately after, the Silver-Armored Knight jerked out his spear, and the silver spear suddenly turned into thousands of spears, and the dense tips of the spears poured down on Johnny Silver's hand like a torrential rain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ......β€œ

A series of collisions sounded, Johnny Silverhand's body shook, and was swept by the silver gun dozens of times, and the body burst out of the sky full of black mist, but the black mist instantly reversed and was restored to an intact appearance!

Johnny Silverhand's body suddenly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a hundred-foot-tall black monster, its wings spread out for a hundred feet, and the black pressure covered the sky.

"Roaring ......"

After a deafening roar, the black shadow that covered the sky and the sun pressed down, and the silver-armored knight stabbed out his spear, piercing through the stars and the sun, to meet the falling black devil!

In an instant, a dazzling light lit up from the tip of the gun, and the terrifying aura was like destroying the world!

The two powerful forces collided together, setting off a monstrous hurricane in an instant, the entire land was torn apart, spatial cracks spread everywhere, mountains were collapsing and collapsing, and every grass and tree on the earth was crushed into flying ashes!

In the shocking gaze of the white night, the entire cyber projection world exploded inch by inch, and this battle finally came to an end.

After the smoke and dust that rose into the sky cleared, White Night saw Johnny Silverhand's body pierced by a spear, and then his body slowly turned into ashes and scattered in all directions.

In this ruined land, only a huge pit with a radius of 10,000 meters remained, and in the center of the pit stood the scarred silver-armored knight.

The figure of Master Faming appeared next to the silver-armored knight, folded his hands, and continued:

"To fight Johnny Silverhand, we have to create a new, equally powerful consciousness."

"It's the same, awaken the AI, so that you can remove Johnny Silverhand from your body."

"Make an Awakened AI? Do you have the technology to do this? ”

Bai Ye looked at Fa Ming in disbelief, in his concept, the awakening AI was already an existence known as the "God and Buddha of the Cyber World", how could something of this level be made casually?

"We don't need to create an awakening AI, that level of existence is unattainable, but the technology we have mastered is enough to forge one."

"Fake, or simulated." Master Fa Ming said:

"Master Bai, have you ever known about the software 'Lost Love', and the donor Xu Changqing who is traveling with you has been using it all the time."

"I know." Bai Ye recalled Xu Changqing's previous record, the app "Lost Love" made a fake "sister" for Xu Changqing, which is essentially a manufactured AI.

Bai Ye suddenly reacted, this "lost love" is a method of creating AI, and from the perspective of the underlying logic, it is exactly the same!

Linked to the "Sanskrit sound" and the experience of Master Xinhai, Bai Ye suddenly understood that the force behind Jiuhua Temple, "Cyber Difu", is probably best at artificial intelligence-related technical fields.

That's why Jiuhua Temple proposed to make a new AI to fight against Johnny Silverhand, a method of awakening cyber ghosts.

"Is it difficult to simulate an awakened AI?" Bai Ye asked.

"The difficulty is high, not high, everything is born from the heart." Master Fa Ming smiled and said:

"Whether this matter is simple or difficult depends on you, Master Bai, to decide."

"This AI has something to do with me?" Bai Ye suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, why was Fa Ming's statement so strange, why did he need to participate in creating a new AI? There are so many monks in Jiuhua Temple, can't they do it themselves?

From the perspective of hacker technology, no matter what, the technical level of the monks of Jiuhua Temple should be much higher than that of Bai Ye.

After all, White Night now only has E-level hacker chips, and there are no other hacking techniques.

"Master Bai, the bell must be tied to the bell, and if you want to clear Johnny Silverhand's hand in your body, you must construct AI from your own state of mind."

"There is a principle in the AI that is made, the more realistic and detailed it is, the more powerful the AI will be and the more likely it is to succeed."

"The prototype of this AI, in reality, is best the existence that Bai Shi is closest to and understands."

Beside Master Fa Ming, the silver-armored knight suddenly moved.

She reached out and slowly removed her helmet.

"You mean......" As Bai Ye listened, he suddenly had a terrifying conjecture in his heart, and his eyes were intently focused on the face of the Silver Knight.

Exactly like he had in mind - the Silver Knight took off his mask, revealing his pure, angelic cheeks.

It's Bai Momo, the sister of the white night!

"Sister...... Little Peach? White Night froze in place, muttering to himself in disbelief.

"To fight Johnny Silverhand, you must create an AI based on someone close to you." Master Faming's voice came.

"Master Bai, you must make a sister of your own."
