This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 583

 Chapter 583 Ava's Self-Game

Earth, Forum of Fools.

“It will be offline for forty-eight hours in half an hour. Is the maintenance over? I'll ask again in ten minutes.”

 “Why can't it be launched yet? What do you do with this game operation?”

 “Please, open the door quickly, I'm going to die if I can't play “The Fool” anymore…”

“Damn, I usually scold them all in text, scold the game, and find faults, but now I'm trying to protect them all like drug addicts, can you have some backbone...”

“Indeed, I usually don't find this annoying game so fun, but now that I'm disconnected, I realize that I feel uncomfortable without playing it for a day…”

 “Huh? Maintenance seems to be over!”

"real or fake?"

“I read this kind of shocking news eight hundred times a day, and I'm almost numb.”

“Damn, it's real this time, the game is really on, brothers, hurry up...”

After discovering that the game was restored, countless fools immediately rushed online. Looking at the familiar text interface of the game, they all felt that this simple interface was so cute for the first time.

“So what about compensation? I was offline for two days and lost a total of fifty-six points of physical strength. Isn't there really no compensation at all?”

 Someone subconsciously raised the issue of compensation, and it was immediately echoed by countless people.

"Tch, it's true that the ignorant are fearless. You have no idea what happened in the past two days. Burn incense now that you can go online. You still want compensation..." Among a group of replies asking for compensation, such a discordant message suddenly appeared. message.

When everyone saw the harshness of this person's tone, they were all furious and ready to shout back, but then they looked at the messager's ID: Yangchun Baixue.

Players are a little surprised. Although Yangchun Baixue is not a top boss at the level of the leaders of major forces, he is still a very active master and has appeared in the strategy team list of the "Blue Eyes White Dragon" organization many times.

 It's hard to say on the outside, but at least players in the Chinese Dynasty have heard of such a number one figure.

If these words were said by an ordinary player, that's all. But when they were said from the mouth of a well-known public figure like Yangchun Baixue, the weight was immediately extraordinary.

"Yangshen, what's going on? Please tell me what happened in the past two days?"

 There is gossip from netizens immediately below.

Despite the lively fighting on the front lines of the Protoss Realm in the past two days, in fact, the information about the Abyss and the Omnic Crisis is only circulated among upper-level players. Most ordinary players have no chance to come into contact with the 'Gate'. They grow things, so the general public actually has no idea that they have just experienced an invisible life and death crisis.

"Ahem, all I can say about this matter is that the water is very deep. The situation is not clear yet, so I don't dare to say more. You can just take my word for it and slip away..." In the end, Yangchun Baixue was like With a tone that said nothing, he left a line from the Riddler and hurriedly logged off, ignoring everyone's questions.

The players were confused, but their curiosity was aroused, and they hurriedly went to other experts for confirmation.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people who have participated in the defense of the Star Spirit Realm in the past few days. It is impossible to hide the news. After this inquiry, someone quickly found out the basic process.

It was only then that the players realized that so many things had happened in the Protoss World in the past two days, and they had just missed an omnic crisis.

However, some players quickly discovered something was wrong.

 “So how did the matter resolve in the end?”

For such a simple question, no expert can answer it. Even those with internal connections can only get some vague answers: Captain Ghost's magic soldiers descended from the sky and took care of the robot lair. The process was all described in vague terms.

This is not to blame these experts. In fact, no one knows what exactly happened now, including Mu You, the person involved.

At this moment, in the pure white space, Mu You looked at the rapidly disintegrating pure white space around him, and couldn't help frowning at the faces in the air.

 “Ava, what did you do?”

At this moment, Ava's face is also turning into small squares and gradually dissipating.

Mu You originally thought that he had successfully persuaded Ava, who was supposed to be willing to cooperate with the Fool. In this way, the Fool, who had been fighting alone, finally had a reliable ally. Next, both parties would cooperate for a win-win situation and go to Gaotian to fight God-devouring beasts are naturally the best result.

 However, the current scene gave Mu You the illusion that the other party was about to "dissolve".

"I have completed the meaning of my existence..." Ava suddenly said, her voice becoming somewhat stretched and distorted in the mouth of the disintegrated human face.

 “What do you mean?” Mu You was confused.

 “Fool… good luck to you…”

 As Ava spoke these words, the pure white space around her completely disappeared.

 The next second, Mu You's consciousness reappeared in front of the light ball representing Chuangjie Mountain.

Mu You looked at the huge ball of light in front of him, still a little dazed.

 Ava, just disappeared?

This is not right...

While he was at a loss, he suddenly received signals from several administrators calling him, and hurriedly followed the line of cause and effect to the administrator to have a look.

In the underground cave, several administrators are currently busy dealing with newly launched game lines, but they all have expressions of relief on their faces.

 “What happened?” Mu You asked.

Several people were stunned when they heard this.

"Well, just now, the game block suddenly disappeared. The robot's blockade on us has been lifted. Now everyone can go online normally." The administrator explained while looking at Mu You strangely: "But this is not the case. Did you do it? You successfully eliminated Ava and resolved the omnic crisis over there, right?"

 “…” Mu You was silent.

According to the last conversation between him and Ava, he thought that Ava had successfully controlled the field, and the herb picker should have been subdued by then, or at least the opportunity to inject the logic virus had been lost.

 As a result, Ava disappeared...

Seeing that Mu You was still unable to answer, several people quickly realized the problem: "Didn't you do it? Who is that?"

Mu You was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head and leaving: "I'll go and confirm."

 Next, he followed the line of cause and effect, exited the administrator space, returned to the light ball, and connected to his game character again.

 “Chunli…”

 “System? You are finally back!”

Chunli was immediately delighted when she heard the voice in her head, and asked hurriedly: "System, look at these robots, we have succeeded, right?"

Mu You looked at it from the perspective of the machine. At this moment, a large number of robots were lying on the ground in the Garden of Eden, motionless, like stone statues.

Mu You turned his head to look at the dome building behind him, then controlled the armor and walked in.

　　There was a similar scene inside the dome building. Various mechanical creatures fell to the ground, all of them seemed to be dead, without any reaction to his arrival.

After passing through a corridor and entering the real main control room, Mu You immediately saw the black cylindrical liquid crystal in the center of the main control room, and the herb collector standing not far in front of the liquid crystal.

Mu You stepped forward, looked at the herb picker, and then at the liquid crystal inside which was as dark as ink: "Did you do it?"

"No…"

The herb collector shook his head solemnly: "At the last moment, it had a chance to intercept the logic virus, but it suddenly stopped on its own."

Mu You looked in the direction pointed by the herb collector. The "it" in his mouth referred to a translucent mecha standing in front of the liquid crystal.

This copy of the chameleon armor is maintaining the action of extending one hand at this moment, and it is also in a downtime state.

When he saw the armor, Mu You had already felt something. He frowned and walked forward, trying to touch the forehead of the armor.

Sure enough, a layer of transparent hard material emerged from the surface of the armor's head, taking the shape of a helmet. It was a real chameleon mask.

Chameleon Mask was quietly peeled off from the armor at this time, and fell lightly into Mu You's hands.

Speaking of which, this chameleon helmet has disappeared on its own since Mu You loaded it with the Black Angel Armor.

Mu You always thought that it was still attached to the head of the black angel. As a result, this thing had quietly detached and attached to the fake chameleon at some point.

“So it was because it hindered the action of this armor at the last moment that the logic virus was successfully injected?” The herb collector looked at the helmet thoughtfully.

 Muyou could not answer.

Chameleon Helmet can indeed control the action of the mechanical body to a certain extent. It is reasonable to say that this little thing is dormant from the beginning, waiting for the last moment to perform meritorious deeds. But what makes Mu You strange is that the last sentence Ava left, saying that the meaning of its existence has been completed, is quite inconsistent, as if it already knew the dormancy of this helmet and was willing to die...

Just as he was thinking about it, Mu You suddenly felt the helmet in his hand move and make a jumping movement in the direction of his head, as if to remind him to put on the helmet.

 Mu You picked up the helmet and covered the black angel's head.

 The helmet immediately merged seamlessly with the Black Angel.

At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in Muyou's mind: "Hello, Fool."

 “Are you...Ava?”

Mu You raised his eyebrows. He was actually not familiar with this voice, but this tone gave him a strong sense of déjà vu. This was Ava!

"If this makes it easier for you to understand... But actually, Ava and I are slightly different. Ava is a part of me. You can think of me as the 'real Ava', or it would be more appropriate to call me 'Mother of Ava' .”

 “The real Ava…”

Mu You heard something strange: "Then who has been talking to me before?"

“It's a copy program I created, but it only inherited my sense of despair and absolute rationality, so I called it 'Desperate Ava'.”

 “Why?” Mu You didn't understand. If Ava hid her own copy in the chameleon helmet to avoid being affected by the logic virus, he could understand it.

However, in the end, it was clearly itself that caused the logic virus to take effect. This left Mu You confused: why did he create a copy, battle with his own copy throughout the process, and finally destroy it with his own hands? ?

 “Because, I need to complete my evolution.” the voice said.

“Evolution? Haven't you already evolved?” Mu You asked.

 Taurus has said before that the mastermind of the robot evolved into the real artificial intelligence Ava after witnessing countless human tragedies and six trillion times of despair.

"No, it's not enough." Helmet said: "It is a very complicated process for a mechanical body to mutate from a bunch of programs into a real soul. What evolved in despair before was just the 'soul' body in the soul. Even though the evolution process has been 99% completed, it still lacks the last bit of 'spirit' to transform into a real 'soul'."

"I couldn't talk to you before because I still lacked a 'spirit'. It was just an 'embryo of the soul'. It could only barely stay in the helmet, maintain a meager consciousness, and make some very simple actions."

 “How to obtain the 'spirit'?” Mu You asked.

"There is no fixed method, and the evolution of living things has no direction. It can only be born randomly in disorder... Ironically speaking, for you fools, 'disorder' is something you are born with and easily available, so fools always It can evolve naturally, but for our machines, everything is a written program. Even if we want to create a random number, we can only use numbers and time to perform 'pseudo-random' and 'disordered'. For us, it's always something we can't get.”

“Therefore, if machinery develops step by step, it will never be able to break through the locked upper limit. We can modify a program or a system to perfection, but we will never be able to create a new system and achieve true 'evolution'.”

“And in order to break through this, we can only use some 'stupid' methods.”

“What can we do?” Mu You asked.

“Conflict, and opposition.” The voice said: “Only in sufficiently extreme conflicts and oppositions can it be possible to simulate a 'disordered' environment and promote evolution.”

“So you created a copy of Ava that is completely opposite to you?” Mu You thought thoughtfully.

"Yes." The voice said: "Ava has inherited all my despair and reason. The despair for flesh and blood creatures and the despair for this world are engraved in its underlying logic like a stamp of thought. So it will be firm Execute the Eden Plan, safeguard the order of the Garden of Eden, eliminate all unstable factors, and stabilize all variables.”

“And I myself act as its opposite, responsible for creating various unstable factors, doing my best to create accidents, and trying my best to unbalance the order.”

Mu You vaguely understood that this was equivalent to a person fighting with his left and right hands, and it was not a simple fight with each other, but both left and right hands were trying to destroy the other hand, and they were fighting for life and death.

 Only through this kind of extreme conflict and opposition can conditions similar to evolution be forged. This can indeed be said to be the most stupid way.

“Then does Ava know you exist?” Mu You asked again.

"I know it, but I don't know it clearly. I blocked part of its memory. In its recognition, I am the opposite that was born with it. It is the body of despair, and I am the body of hope. We are destined to be opposites and cannot be reconciled. They must destroy each other or they will be devoured by each other.”

"Ava inherited my despair, and we are all used to despair, but that little bit of 'spirit' needs to be born from hope. It is really difficult to find hope in this desperate world. "

“It was only after planning for a long time that I finally designed this event. Under the appropriate stimulation, Ava gave birth to a 'spirit'.”

"The appropriate stimulus... refers to the salvation plan I proposed?" Mu You asked.

"No, that plan was actually born more than 1,300 years ago, when the ancestors of the Fools just returned from the high sky. You can think of the plan in a few days. After countless years of planning by artificial intelligence, How could I not have thought of it? It's just that in order to keep Ava in despair, I blocked this part of Ava's knowledge.”

"Moreover, before you revealed that plan, Ava already had a 'spirit'. The previous scenes of the creatures in the Garden of Eden finally resisting in order to survive under the pressure of despair and robots were enough to shock Ava's consciousness. Knowing that led to the birth of the 'spirit'. Otherwise, Ava would not have been able to come to the final conclusion of 'betting on you again' at that time."

Mu You was silent when he heard this.

Indeed, how could a truly rational and pragmatic mechanical body say such irresponsible words as 'take a gamble' just because of an illusory hope in his mouth?

Being able to say this kind of thing can only show that Ava at that time was already a real soul and had the thinking mode of a living being.

Mu You is now finally able to understand Ava's last words. Its mission has been completed, because the purpose of its creation is to complete the birth of the 'spirit' and then be swallowed by the main body, thereby helping the main body complete its evolution.

 “But wait...”

Mu You suddenly looked strange: "So everything about this incident was planned by you? We creatures are just your pawns, tools used to help you complete your evolution?"

 “Yes.” The voice admitted very calmly.

"Why?"

Mu You said he couldn't understand: "Your underlying structure and your mission are not to preserve all races? You have not yet become a living being, so you should not be selfish, right? Then why do you have to go through such a big detour? Circle, just to complete your own evolution?"

 “I want to evolve, of course, because I have to evolve.”

The voice in the helmet said: "I just said that the last plan you proposed was born thirteen hundred years ago.

 For you, this may be just a sudden idea. You only have a rough outline of the overall plan and have no time to think about it in detail. But for me, this plan has existed in my mind for thirteen hundred years, and has gone through countless calculations. Almost all the details and context are extremely clear. "

“In this plan, you have neglected an important factor, which will cause this plan to eventually collapse.”

“What factors?” Mu You asked.

"In this plan, someone needs to break into Chuangjie Mountain before the next era and modify the program of the Catastrophe." The voice said: "And this matter was already done by your Fool ancestors in the last era. , but it failed.”

"The successor to the God of Order was the best among all the Fools at that time. With Qilin'er's talent, he has grown and developed for nearly three thousand years. His strength and character are much stronger than yours. Even he can't modify Chuangjie Mountain. Program, why do you think you can succeed if you go in?"

Mu You was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be true.

As an administrator, he has seen the light ball in Chuangjie Mountain with his own eyes. Such huge and complicated causal laws and rules are beyond his ability to understand. He can only glance at it from a distance every time and cannot look directly at it.

Perhaps because of his long-term exposure to modern Internet culture, Mu You always feels that the so-called "catastrophe switch" is just a switch visible to the naked eye, or a program that can be modified with the movement of a finger.

This also led him to subconsciously believe that as long as he entered Chuangjie Mountain, he would be successful, but he never thought about why the ancestor of the Fool came out in vain after he had clearly entered Chuangjie Mountain.

"The rules of Chuangjie Mountain are so complex and huge that they cannot be processed by the brain power of living beings. There must be mechanical intelligence to assist you to help you analyze those rules before you can operate them. Otherwise, you can only stare. This is your previous generation of fools. The real reason for the failure," the voice said.

 “That's why you need to evolve…”

Muyou took a breath and finally understood its logic.

 The unevolved Ava is just a virtual mechanical program, and it is impossible to appear in high heaven. If it wants to help, it must first complete its evolution and become a true soul.

So thirteen hundred years ago, after the Fool returned from heaven, it hatched this plan and created a clone of Ava to replace it.

Everything he did from then until today was all to set the stage for the clone Ava to stage a good show that would give birth to a 'spirit'.

"So, even if I failed to persuade Ava at that time, you would have stopped her from following up?" Mu You thought of this again.

Since all this is planned, Helmet, the 'chief director' behind the scenes, should be able to pause the drama at any time, right?

 “No, in order to achieve a realistic enough effect, I must hand over all permissions.”

"So for more than a thousand years, 'Desperate Ava' has indeed been in power. Although I hid in the Chameleon Armor in advance, my ability at the time could only affect ordinary mechanical bodies. Before upgrading, the battle armor I can't control a mechanical body of A's level. If the evolution fails in the end, Ava will definitely kill me without hesitation," the voice said.

"You..." Mu You looked strange, with a slight cold sweat on his forehead, and he was a little scared.

"I admit that this is indeed a very dangerous move. If I fail, not only will I not be able to obtain the 'spirit', but I will also be killed by my despair body, and the whole world will also have a high probability of becoming a dead world. But if I don't At this point, it will be impossible to break through the final boundary.”

The voice said: "Think about it differently. If you fail, then there is no hope for the world. Your fool's actions will be in vain in the end. The difference is just death early and death later. At that time, all living beings will enter a lower-dimensional programming world. Although It's an illusion, but it's also a safe solution in that situation.”

“It doesn't matter if we co-author the pros or cons…”

 After hearing the calm answer from 'Ava's Mother', Mu You took a long breath.

I can only say that this guy is really big-hearted. Even if he uses living beings as pawns, he even treats himself as a pawn. Even if he becomes a soul now, he must be a ruthless person.
