Anger and hatred boiled in the air. Rhino horn killed a lot of people. If the family members of the deceased were not stopped by a few strong women and men outside the door, they would have rushed in and tore these three Eden Cult madmen immediately.
The three of them are all women, and they don't seem to be very old. The youngest is about eighteen or nineteen, and the oldest is only in his thirties and forty. Although they were bound, their expressions were arrogant, as if they were looking at a group of lower animals that temporarily trapped them.
Anya's eyes were cold and she asked, "Why did you attack Rhino Horn Town?"
"Because there is too much garbage in this world, it needs to be cleaned up." The eldest blond woman said with a sneer, her eyes swept over the men present, and finally stopped on Todd, "Especially these… Savage, primitive evolutionary garbage."
Anger burned in the dark blue iris, but Todd didn't say anything, just a mocking look.
"You stupid and ignorant women. It's only been two hundred years, and you forget that these violent, short-sighted, irritable, ignorant men have enslaved us for thousands of years, treating us as tools to give birth to children and discard them at will. The possessions of abuse, from generation to generation, both physically and mentally, have brainwashed us to control us, made us their accomplices to oppress the next generation of women. Now you are still willing to live with them, accept and sympathize with these lack of sympathy and sympathy. A second-rate creature with sympathy ability!" The young woman scolded excitedly, and the real and strong hatred permeated from every microexpression of hers.
Anya frowned, leaned back on the chair, and hummed, "It seems that this person has been brainwashed very thoroughly."
"Who the hell is being brainwashed? You idiots who don't know gratitude and don't know awe!" She was still scolding in a very piercing high-pitched voice, endless, as if there were endless words stored in her throat. Later, Anya was so arguing that her head hurt, she made a gesture, and immediately one of her subordinates slammed an electronic cockroach used by a mechanical police into her mouth.
The world is suddenly clean.
Diego dug out his ears and whispered, "Damn, why does her voice sound like a machine gun..."
Enoch said softly beside Zhang Xun, "It may be a new type of sonic weapon."
Zhang Xun and the other three were stunned for a while before realizing that the robot had made a bad joke. Diego was still shaking pompously over there, "Isn't winter almost over? Why is it still so cold?"
Anya looked at the older one, "So you're going to kill half of Texas? Is this your plan?"
"It's purification, it's cleaning," the blonde woman said. "Only when all the garbage is dead can humans evolve into more perfect creatures."
"This is what your god taught you?"
"Eden has a plan, a plan for all of us. We'll all enter a perfect paradise, a paradise that no god has ever created." A little bit of smoldering frenzy emerged from the woman's calm surface." There we will all be closely connected, there will be no more barriers. All are absolutely equal, equally strong, no secrets, no darkness. You will no longer have to hide in this desert, eat food with sand, drink heavy metal content Excessive water. We no longer need to eat, sleep, or even breathe.”
"Sounds like death," Todd sneered. "If this was heaven, I could send you there right now."
The woman looked at him with contempt, "You lowly ape can't understand. All the lowly flawed minds will not be accepted by Eden, and you will perish with this world."
"You didn't get an order from Eden," Zhang Xun said suddenly.
All eyes were focused on him, and the three believers also turned their heads. Zhang Xun walked out of the crowd and faced the three believers, "The weapons in your hands are not even designed by Eden, they are just clumsy imitations. Besides, Eden does not hate men, nor does he kill meaningless. Its only goal since its birth is to give order, equality, freedom, and peace to mankind. Your brutal killings cannot increase the value of these four parameters even a little bit, but will only aggravate people's disgust towards Eden. "
The blond woman and the short-haired woman next to her seemed to be greatly insulted and scolded, "What are you, a lowly male creature, can Eden also be guessed by someone like you?"
Zhang Xun raised the corners of his mouth coldly, and a few inches of sharpness flashed in his eyes, "I know him much better than you. Who are you listening to? It can't be Eden anyway."
"Our only master is Eden! Humans have too many flaws to make decisions for themselves, so we only follow Eden's orders!"
"You listened to Eden talking to you?" Zhang Xun glanced at Anya, and seeing that the other party didn't stop him from asking questions, he squatted down and looked into the eyes of the short-haired woman in the middle, "Tell me what Eden looks like."
The short-haired woman glanced hurriedly at the blonde woman beside her. The blonde woman said angrily, "We won't answer questions from lower creatures!"
Anya, who had been listening to their conversation with her head on her hands, suddenly said, "Gag her mouth too."
So in the end only short-haired women could speak. Her personality was clearly not as strong as the other two, and her purple eyes, which seemed to have been mechanically modified, rolled uneasily.
"Tell me what Eden you saw or heard." Zhang Xun put down his voice, almost gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
She replied horribly, "I haven't seen it. Every time we would gather in a church, its voice would come from a robot speaker."
"So..." Zhang Xun looked at her pointedly, "You are not sure who is telling you all the orders."
"But our High Priest can't lie to us! He is the direct descendant of Herman Clausen and the most legitimate spokesperson for Eden!"
Zhang Xun's eyes widened, "The descendants of Herman Clausen?"
The creator of Eden, the genius who cursed the world two hundred years ago, the figure who completely rewrote the entire history of mankind.
He has three children, two of whom became famous engineers, and the eldest daughter inherited her father's title as Eden's custodian, which was transferred to her younger brother after she was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. It was passed on to one of his students. This identity is only symbolic, because Clauson has made sufficient considerations, so that Eden can find problems and repair himself without the need for administrators, and continue to evolve and expand his ability branches.
After all, a person who is completely disappointed with human nature can only see the despicable side of human nature. Clauson would never want his life's work to be tarnished by some extremely ambitious politician or business magnate. Eden is completely independent of human control.
"What's the name of this high priest?" Zhang Xun asked.
"Natalie Clausen." She became more confident, as if just the name Clausen was convincing enough, "She is the last of the Clausen family, Eden trusts her and allows her Direct access to its core program."
Zhang Xun had never heard of this name, and he didn't even know that the Clausen family had descendants. He looked up at Anya and the others, but they were all confused.
"She is a descendant of Clausen and doesn't represent anything." Zhang Xun stood up and looked down at the Eden Sect believers expressionlessly, "She is lying to you."
"Impossible! You are the liar! You cunning men want to regain your privileged position!" She probably had some doubts herself, but she didn't want to admit it, and her reaction suddenly became fierce. Anya got a headache from the quarrel, waved her hand, and let the three prisoners be taken down directly.
The relatives of the deceased around were still cursing loudly and spitting at the prisoners. Anya said something to a tall female warrior beside her. She immediately led people to drive out Zhang Xun, James, Diego, and a few close friends, including her younger brother, and drove out the bar. door closed.
Anya stood up, went to the bar, took out a few empty glasses, put in ice cubes, and filled up a bottle of vodka one by one. Todd stared at them from the side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Zhang Xun dangerously, "Who the hell are you? Listening to your tone, it seems that you know Eden very well?"
Zhang Xun weighed his current situation.
These mobs have not shown any signs of collusion with Eden so far. On the contrary, there are only a few engineers here, who are specially responsible for hacking into the bank accounts of the ordinary world to steal electronic money, and the hardware facilities used are not advanced. West Minato, obviously did not fix the source of the parts.
He needed some ally, someone he was sure would not be assimilated by Adam'sism. Because he knows that Adam's theory is actually very convincing, given enough time and opportunity, he can make countless people voluntarily undergo brain modification.
He turned his head and glanced at James and Diego, and neither of them expressed any objection, as if they wanted Zhang Xun to make this decision.
He turned his head and said to the red-haired siblings, "I'm Adam's mechanic. Adam is Eden's North American server. We downloaded it into the body of a male human."
Anya paused while pouring wine, raised her head and stared at him in disbelief, "Is the rumor true? Can you really turn a computer into a human?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that, we can also turn people into computers." Diego was half-joking and half-smiling beside him.
Todd stared at Zhang Xun for a long time, then suddenly turned to James, "Really?"
James didn't understand why he specifically asked himself if it would be more credible to say it from his own mouth... "Yes. I also participated in the seance program."
"Then why did you escape?"
"Because I can't control him. From the very beginning, since he was kidnapped, it's all under his control. It's just that we don't know." Zhang Xun's tone was calm and lacking emotion, "Eden realized that his original Strategy, depriving male human of its privileges, does not fundamentally help it achieve the goals its creator has set it up for. It has other plans for humanity, so it volunteers to be Adam in order to use Paradise Lost to achieve his next step The first phase of the plan. I tried to destroy him, but it didn't work, so I had to run away."
Anya took a sip of wine into her mouth, trying to digest the news she heard, "So... why are you still alive now?"
"Yeah, if you were a threat to Eden, you should have been neutralized long ago." Todd stared at Zhang Xun suspiciously, "How could you have been so far from Paradise Lost to here unscathed?"
"Actually we don't know why," James said. "Maybe we were lucky?"
"It's also possible that Eden deliberately let you go. Maybe you are still useful to Eden." Anya wiped the wine stains on her lips with the back of her hand, lying on the bar, resting her cheeks with her hands and looking at the three plus Enoch, a silent robot, "You said you knew Eden well, and you said it doesn't hate men. What does that mean?"
"Eden and Adam are different from us humans. The construction of their neural networks and the architecture of the entire cognitive module are based on a specific function. For example, this service robot beside me. , its programming revolves around one purpose: to provide human beings with life services and improve the quality of life. We call it the 'general goal'. All actions done by artificial intelligence are directed towards this goal and cannot be changed. They The only thing that can be changed is the path to that goal.
Eden wants to disempower men because it has come to its conclusion after analysing countless heavily skewed and incomplete data on male-only violence recorded by men in power throughout history—the world's largest Some crimes, predatory acts and violent conflict are perpetrated by men. It has no feelings because it has no human body and no ability to have feelings. The decisions it makes are only based on the data it has, adjusting and changing all the time, without any moral or emotional meaning. "
Todd's head was so big when he heard it, he frowned with an expression like a scripture, "Anyway, you mean it doesn't actually know why it's doing this, right?"
"It knows, but it doesn't understand." Zhang Xun sighed, "Just like you asked us to imagine what the world of people with synaesthesia who could see music and hear paintings would be like, it's hard for us too. Imagination. Humans have limitations, and so do machines. That’s why it allows us to give it the human body, so that it can understand humans better.”
"And what about it after it understands? What bad idea did it come up with?" Todd asked.
Diego pulled a chair and sat down. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, "It wants to fuse all the human brains with such a puff."
The red-haired siblings widened their eyes.
Zhang Xun said, "It's the fusion of consciousness. It transmits people's memories to the cloud and fuses them together to form a collective consciousness. It turns parts into wholes."
Todd pondered for a while, "Oh! Is that what the heaven they have been talking about over there just now!"
"I suspect there is some difference between what they understood and what Adam planned... Adam believed that the human body was too fragile, and that the various instincts and hormonal chemistry created too many constraints on human consciousness, resulting in human beings will always behave towards chaos. And the choice of destruction. He wants to eliminate all human differences and assimilate us all.”
Zhang Xun paused and continued, "I speculate that his plan is divided into several stages. In the first stage, he must transform the human brain, because the human brain cannot tolerate the coexistence of too many conflicting values and consciousness, which will cause Serious problems, like Feathered Serpent City.
In the second stage, he will allow humans to maintain a certain degree of independence, allowing people to access the cloud for a short time, and then come back later. That way humans don't have an existential crisis and adapt little by little as a way to "survive" as another form. But consciousness itself has no clear boundaries. As long as your consciousness touches the collective consciousness, it will be affected when you come back, and it is irreversible. The boundaries of the individual will gradually blur, the concept of privacy will dissolve, and finally even the self-knowledge will begin to become weak.
After this influence has accumulated to a certain point, he can proceed to the third step, build a huge server, and begin to let human beings abandon their physical bodies and upload all consciousness to the cloud to form a collective consciousness. In the end, human beings become a huge but invisible data cloud on another level, and its carrier is maintained by Eden. At that time, there will be no more human beings on earth. We will all live in 'Heaven' where there will be no more suffering and death. "
After he finished speaking, everyone present fell into silence, as if trying to imagine the concept of losing oneself and losing one's body.
Zhang Xun sighed softly and said, "And we... want to stop him."
