Master of the Stars

Chapter 94: Entering the wrong door (Part 1)

Views:

Ronan sat quietly, staring at the five-story gestalt that was mostly empty, and continued to deduce the conclusion:

"The same gestalt accommodates the preserved content, but it is very different, probably because the 'standards' are completely different.

"Earlier stratification was just a simple reconstruction of the social structure, so everyone could be included in it. But such a structure did not clearly define the precise position of individuals, just like parts piled together. No matter how large and complete it is, there is no There is no point in assembling it into a complete functional machine.

"Today's stratification, the standard is simple and crude - does it belong to 'me'? Under this simple logic, all existences that have nothing to do with 'me' are cleared out.

"As for what counts as 'relevant' - of course it must be directly related to the 'self-format' before it will be included in this system."

As his thinking logic advances layer by layer, the software interface continues to change. Inside and outside the five-story gestalt structure, dark chains are like a giant python, swimming back and forth. But no matter how he moves, he is always in touch with Xie Junping, Mao Yan, and the magic talisman inside.

The dark chain is a symbol of "my heart is like a prison" and the embodiment of "self-style".

Ronan once used the Black Chen Chain to kill the "Human Faced Spider" clone for Xie Junping; Maoyan once collided with Ronan's "Psychic Diagram" deduction and was countered by the Black Chen Chain; as for the magic talisman, it was always on the Black Chen Chain under the control.

These images all flashed through Ronan's mind one by one, providing footnotes for his inferences.

Of course, there are also differences between the three, and this difference is reflected in the division of levels.

Xie Junping and Maoyan are on the student level. According to "formatism", they do not contribute to the social format, but are "learners" who receive one-way indoctrination.

Although Xie Junping once stood up for Ronan and Maoyan released deep memories of Ronan, that was a change in tendency after entering the format system.

At the system level alone, Ronan is completely unable to obtain any "direct benefits" from the two of them, and if there is a major stimulus, they may reject Ronan's "indoctrination", step out of the Gestalt, and part ways with Ronan.

As for the magic talisman, it is exactly like Ronan's dog, and it will bite anyone you tell it to. It sounds like he is extremely loyal and extremely capable. What's more important is that Ronan can obtain "direct benefits" from it, which are even higher than those obtained by simply relying on physical training - the result of devouring the "Human Faced Spider" clone has proven this.

Therefore, the magic talisman entered the "technician level".

But the problem is that it does not have self-awareness and cannot rise to the level of "consciousness". Its level has reached its limit at this point.

After thinking about this, Ronan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Such a clearly layered and gradually deepening connection and feedback model seems to have been seen somewhere before...

He traced his memory all the way, and the relevant scenes were frozen in the sound of his grandfather's ferocious roar.

Ronan pressed his forehead and picked at it with his fingertips. A certain word suddenly hit his mind, making it difficult to get rid of it.

"Temple, Kingdom of God, New God, Old God... God, God?"

In Grandpa's "crazy words", the word "god" appears very frequently and occupies a very central position.

In the past, Ronan wouldn't have cared about it, but now that his horizons have broadened, it's hard to keep his thoughts simple.

He closed his eyes and actually connected to the Lingbo Network through his six ears and entered the professional association interface. Then search for the "Secret Order" entry, focusing on information related to the organizational structure.

Soon, a large amount of information poured out. It seemed that the design of the association's Lingbo.com was not very powerful in terms of intelligent screening. Ronan could only search and sort through it with difficulty until there was such a paragraph that attracted his attention:

"Most of the founders of secret sects are inevitably influenced by the existing social culture. When they first build the basic structure of the sect, they often refer to ancient myths, mainstream religions, historical legends, and even novels and games as models , applying various fantasy colors to the sect, and designing strict levels, and the specific concepts vary widely... "

"When examining secret sects that have existed for more than ten years, we must admit that to a large extent, they have experienced a surprising 'convergence'. Especially in terms of organizational structure, the three major world-wide secret sects, The internal staff are almost unanimously divided into four levels. Although the names are different, the meanings are very close. I interpret them as: shallow believers, devout believers, fanatic believers, and favored ones.

"As the name suggests, these four levels of believers have different degrees of piety and dedication to the 'gods'; and the gifts and rewards they receive from the 'gods' are also different. Facts can prove that for those 'gods' and 'officers' 'In terms of believers at all levels, their support, requests, and feedback are genuine and have strict level judgments. They all have a similar but strict and feasible logic by contract, and have formed a structure that has evolved to this day. A system that remains solid… ”

Halfway through reading it, Ronan felt that this article was very suitable for him and it just answered his question, so he paid special attention to the author's name, but he didn't expect it to look familiar.

"Bamboo pole..."

If it weren't for the same name, this person was the tall and thin man in charge of intelligence work during the operation on the night of the 28th. Ronan remembered that he always had a playful smile, but his words were sharp.

Ronan deepened his impression and matched this person's description with his own situation.

At this moment, he finally understood where the familiar feeling just came from. The four-level structure of the Secret Order... Of course, it may also be a definition borrowed from a certain novel or a certain game. It seems to be completely comparable to "Gestalt".

Although the Gestalt has five levels, the "politician" on the top level is special in definition and represents the subversion and negation of the entire format, so it can be ignored for the time being.

The lower four floors are pretty reliable.

If you look at it this way, isn't Grandpa's "format theory", at least the "social form" level, also a system of ability explanation... and one that is inclined to the position of the secret sect

So who is he now? Some stunted god

Ronan kneaded his forehead harder.

"Tired? We're almost home." My uncle suddenly spoke.

Ronan said "Uh" and jumped out of his thinking mode. It seemed that his attitude just now made his uncle and aunt even more worried. After thinking about it, he grinned pretending to be relaxed:

"Not tired, just a little hungry."

My uncle hummed, and turned back to talk to his aunt: "It's too late to go home and cook. Should we let 'Old Mo' prepare a nutritious meal, or should we deal with it outside?"

Mo Peng cried out in horror: "God, don't work on this old man!"
