Chapter 877: Chapter 844: They are All Our Own Brothers_2

In a strict sense, RT6 thought that Lu Xiang could no longer be considered human.

Before this, there had never been any case where a mind could host two distinctly different consciousnesses and still retain the ability to think autonomously. Under such circumstances, becoming a Cyber lunatic was already the best outcome; more often, people would have their brains burnt out due to different consciousnesses fighting over control of the body.

This probably had a lot to do with Song Lan.

This "wild" gene creature, under the influence of Song Lan, changed its behavior substantially.

In RT6’s inherent impression, the minions of the Gene Master were often a group of beasts driven by instinct, their genes etched with marks of predation and assimilation. However, this Devourer turned out to be one that took BB as its main player, even adopting a negotiating and communicative stance when confronted with a foreign consciousness.

Consequently, a delicate balance was reached between the two parties.

RT6 also became intensely interested in Lu Xiang, "You can actually guide and even control them, instead of becoming a puppet without independent thought."

If it weren’t for Song Lan, she would have been quite tempted to poach her.

The mission her mother had given her was to integrate into human society and observe those unique individuals; she was certain that Lu Xiang was one of the few with the most special constitutions.

"Is it over?"

Lu Xiang steadied herself, "The ’Sea of Souls’ has entered my mind?"

"Of course not, even if your brain structure is special, it can’t handle that level of informational bombardment. It has merely established a mental connection with you, allowing you to stay in contact at any time. It is still located somewhere in the data world."

Luckily, unlike Song Lan, Lu Xiang had undergone hacker training. Explaining the current situation to her was much easier than to a layman, "You can think of it as it granting you backend access, allowing you to make certain changes. For example, with the matter of Xingosi, he hasn’t resurrected in several hours."

RT6 said, "Now you can decide whether to send his clone back to Kolo Film Industry or to end this cycle... By the way, while you were entering the ’Sea of Souls,’ the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau received a report, finding the body of Xinge Xi. The attacker was a plumber and electrician who had 6 years of work experience in The Fourth Region. They are now considering the possibility of a bioweapon virus."

After all, when their agents arrived on the scene, Xingosi’s body was already gnawed and mangled, just like the scenes from those zombie movies.

Even the seasoned agents of the Bureau didn’t know what could possibly make an ordinarily law-abiding plumber and electrician turn into that.

"This matter has been brought up to the Review Meeting, ’The Emperor’ himself connected to several decrees from the Review Meeting. They are worried and have instructed him to nip this bioweapon virus in the bud."

RT6 could understand the council members’ feelings.

For the United Government, this was undoubtedly a calamitous year.

No one wanted to see a bioweapon virus sweep across the whole United Government following the massive political upheaval.

The First Region’s political turmoil made the council members realize that in these chaotic times anything is possible.

Before this, who could have imagined that some unremarkable plants almost destroyed the power center of the United Government?

Compared to the plant gods created by the High-level Parliament, bioweapon viruses are a more scientifically plausible threat, especially given the recurring instances of mutations caused by nuclear radiation in the villages on the outskirts of The Third Neutral Country. To the people of 2167, zombies were not just a cinematic conceit.

"Of course, if you wish, you can also instigate a bioweapon virus outbreak in The Fourth Region, infecting more than sixty percent of the residents within a day. However, that might require the help of that big bug that has established a mental connection with you."

"...Why would I want to do that?"

Lu Xiang frowned, thinking RT6’s idea was highly dangerous.

"I’m merely teaching you how to utilize the ’Sea of Souls.’ It can change people’s consciousness and memories, making the seemingly incredible become common sense in their eyes. To some extent, you can treat it as a story editor; if used appropriately, any story you wish to tell can be made real. People won’t doubt the veracity of the story, nor will they be aware of who has written it."

That’s the strength of the ’Sea of Souls.’

In the past several years, the story wasn’t written by humans, but by the entirety of Kolo Film Industry along with The Fourth Region.

If it fell into the hands of an ambitious person, it could bring unimaginable changes to the world.

"How this turmoil in Kolo Film Industry ends will be up to you to decide."

"Compared to that..."

Since RT6 had mentioned the use of the "Sea of Souls," Lu Xiang directly shared his original and Song Lan’s idea, "How do we clear out the original copied data and preserve the extracted knowledge?"

"You want to clear them out?"

RT6 was somewhat surprised, "Those copies of thought data are your true weapon, and without them, the credibility of the story will greatly decrease."

In her ideal model, Lu Xiang shouldn’t clear out any consciousness; instead, she should copy the consciousnesses of the council members and even the Chairperson of the Council.

"I don’t need to use it as a weapon."

Lu Xiang shook her head, what she needed was the knowledge stored in the "Sea of Souls," which could make the mutation of the Bug Swarm even richer.

The pale blue orb in her mind flickered a few times, as if committing Lu Xiang’s thoughts to memory.

This decision surprised it somewhat, as according to its understanding of humans, every person hopes to possess more resources and power; it was their innate instinct.

Therefore, to prevent what RT6 described from happening, its creators had installed many firewalls in its program, ensuring that if those firewalls were seriously breached, the user’s mind would also be cleansed.

The one with access to the "Sea of Souls" must not be an ambitious person.

At least for now, Lu Xiang’s thoughts were pleasing to it, except for the slight doubt as to why Lu Xiang didn’t immediately send Sengo’s clone back to the company.

Lu Xiang thought of something else, "Will clearing out the copied consciousness entities cause their death?"

"No, that won’t happen; the vast majority of them are like the original Sengo, whom you met when you first arrived in the Fourth Region—he was the genuine article."

Only the un-optimized original could experience a profound fear of death, leading them to act against the company’s interests out of fear of dying.

"All those copied consciousnesses are to prevent unforeseen needs; it wasn’t just any random assassin who could take a miniature tactical nuclear bomb and reduce the company executives’ mansions to ruins—this kind of incident has never happened in the Fourth Region for many years."

Most of the time, the "Sea of Souls" didn’t need to intervene personally to take care of those who harbored resentment against Kolo Film Industry.

"That’s good."

This answer brought some relief to Lu Xiang.

Just now, she was overwhelmed by the thought that she might have to confront some strangers she had never met and tell them, "Actually, you’re already dead, and now you’re a clone."

Lu Xiang could only be thankful that in the past, an artificial intelligence, which seemed to be the only one capable of adhering strictly to the principle of "not replacing the original unless necessary," controlled the "Sea of Souls."

"They’re not needed anymore."

"The ’Sea of Souls’ can hear your thoughts."

The Devourer carefully listened to the conversation between Lu Xiang and RT6, gaining a more detailed understanding of this new "transfer student," confirming that he wasn’t an intruder.

It sensed vigilance and unease from the continuous flickering of the orb.

So, with the flow of consciousness, tendrils growing from the Devourer’s body gently rested upon the orb.

The former knew nothing about the ins and outs of human social interaction, but it had learned a lot through long-term observation and study.

"From today on, we’re brothers from our own family."

The Devourer assumed the air of an older brother, "You’ll get the best of everything with us, and if anyone troubles you, just say the word and we’ll sort it out for you."
