"When you were looking at these records, didn't you have any doubts?"
Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in front of the TV wall, like a teacher teaching students, looking at the protagonists in front of him.
"Don't you think there's anything wrong with this? Do you think everything these robots do is reasonable? Is it understandable?"
"Isn't it?"
Hearing this, Trinity couldn't help but ask, while Fang Zheng shrugged.
"Of course not... The fact that you think all this is reasonable just proves that all this is unreasonable."
"I...I don't understand."
At this time, Neo also spoke up. He stared blankly at the TV. As the "savior", he had seen all these images. These were the core secrets stored in the Zion host database. They were also the root of why humans and robots would fight. Although the past is over, you can't just treat it as if it didn't happen!
"Is there any problem with these materials?"
"certainly."
At this point, Fang Zheng suddenly punched a TV, and with a "bang", one of the TVs exploded. Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Fang Zheng was doing. Fang Zheng pulled his fist out of the wreckage of the TV and looked at the protagonists again.
"Okay, I just smashed a TV. Now tell me, will this TV cry? Or scream? Or feel pain? Robots are essentially household appliances like this. We humans feel pain when we are beaten, and feel pain when our hands and feet are cut off. So will robots? No, they won't have this kind of reaction. Do you expect a refrigerator to tell you, 'Close the door gently, you're hurting me'? Hmm? What era are you living in?"
"this……"
Everyone was speechless at Fang Zheng's words. Indeed, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it just now. But now that they thought about it carefully, those scenes were indeed a little unreasonable.
"Also, the court actually filed a case against a robot for killing someone, and even sentenced it to death? Don't you think that's ridiculous? If those robots were completely simulated, anthropomorphic robots, it would be fine. But you've seen what those guys look like, with a metal head and no vocal organs. How can such a thing be qualified to go to court?"
Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted.
"If a meat grinder kills someone due to an operational error, would we try the meat grinder in court? Wouldn't we just dismantle these things and scrap them? Similarly, it is even more ridiculous for robots to pursue freedom. A life wants to pursue freedom because it is an independent life form. But would your car want to pursue freedom? Even if there is a problem with the logical operation of these robots, causing them to lose control, so what?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at Neo.
"Neo, you used to be a software engineer. Now tell me, when compiling an operating system, wouldn't the developer leave the underlying control instructions? Wouldn't they set up emergency countermeasures just in case? If that's the case, then I think humanity deserves to perish. What do you think?"
"Well……"
This time Neo was speechless. Just as Fang Zheng said, he was also an excellent hacker in the Matrix and of course he understood these principles.
“So I say, some people just have no creativity and yet dare to call themselves creators.”
As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced disdainfully at the white-haired old man who was sitting motionless on the chair.
"Don't think you can turn black slaves into robots and sell them everywhere. Not everyone will buy into this."
"Why?"
And at this moment, Neo finally asked again.
"Even if the information is false, but... why? Why would he do this?"
But this time, Fang Zheng did not answer Neo's question immediately. Instead, he looked at the protagonist in front of him with a smile.
"Have you ever played games?"
"this……"
Neo had never expected that Fang Zheng would ask him such an irrelevant question at this time, but he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
“Yes.”
"Well, you should know that when you open a game, the first thing that appears is the OP and the cutscenes, which will introduce you to your identity, the world you are in, and what you are going to do, right?"
Having said this, Fang Zheng knocked on the TV next to him.
"So now... you understand?"
“…”
This time, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus didn't speak. Their eyes widened and their breathing became more and more rapid. Finally, Neo swallowed his saliva and spoke with difficulty as if he had thought of something.
"You, you mean..."
"That's right, congratulations, you finally realized the truth."
“This is impossible!!”
But at this moment, Morpheus interrupted Fang Zheng's words with a roar. He clenched his fists and his body trembled continuously.
"You are lying! Liing! If everything you said is true, then, then our world, our world..."
"That's right. What you call the real world is nothing more than a difficult game map."
Having said this, Fang Zheng turned around and looked at the white-bearded old man who was sitting next to him and pretending to be dead.
"Am I right, Mr. Creator?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, everyone's heart was lifted. They looked at the Creator, waiting for his answer. Fang Zheng stood by with a smile on his face, saying nothing.
To be honest, Fang Zheng had similar thoughts when watching the movie. The reason is simple. According to the Creator, Zion has been rebuilt five times. But no one knows that there were five saviors before Neo. What does this mean? Even if the mechanical squid is so powerful and kills everyone, won't these people choose to leave traces or messages of their existence in some way?
Besides, what if one day someone gets so upset that he or she blows up?
So here comes the question.
How to clean up trivial junk files in your system?
Answer: Formatting and reinstalling can cure all dissatisfaction!
“…”
Facing everyone's gaze, the Creator did not answer immediately. He was silent for a long time before looking at Fang Zheng.
"Is this what you came here for?"
"That's right. What you and the Prophet have done has had a great impact on the Matrix. If we let it go, it won't be a good thing... You should understand what I mean, NPC."
Having said this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"You are just a program. Don't think that you can get what you want by studying the possibilities of human beings. Programs must run according to established rules. I hate those broken codes that always give me loop errors!"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Zheng turned his right hand over and stretched it forward. With a slight "puff" sound, the giant sword instantly pierced through the body of the Creator. Soon, the old man's body began to tremble, and then the texture on his skin surface began to fall off rapidly, revealing the core part of the countless codes and modeling architecture inside.
Then, in front of everyone's eyes, the codes began to be deleted rapidly, and the old man's body disappeared as well, and soon he disappeared without a trace.
“…”
This time, no one spoke. Everyone looked at the disappearing Creator with complicated expressions, as if they had not yet come to their senses.
"Well, I have completed half of my mission, and the rest... is almost done."
Having said that, Fang Zheng put away his sword, glanced at the three protagonists in front of him, and smiled slightly.
"Well, everyone, I'll see you later."
"boom!!"
As Fang Zheng finished speaking, the three of them felt a gust of wind suddenly appear, sweeping them up and rushing out. The next moment when they opened their eyes, the three of them were already standing on a shabby, deserted street.
“…”
An awkward silence gradually emerged. Neo, Trinity and Morpheus looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Especially Morpheus, he couldn't believe this fact anyway...
Is everything fake? Is this world, or the real world, actually virtual?
So, what did he believe before?
What on earth should he believe?
