171 The Ninth Shop
◎See you again if we are destined to meet.◎
The Dream Fulfilling System stepped on the head of Qimingxing with one claw, ignored the person who was talking, and turned to look at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao signaled the system to wait, and turned back to look at the guest seats: "Who are you?"
Qimingxing was physically weakened by Lu Yao, causing him to lose control of the virtual world, and the guests who were originally controlled were able to move freely.
The middle-aged man who just shouted was sitting on the left side of the guest seats. He stood up and walked towards Lu Yao, but was blocked by the barrier and had to speak across the barrier.
"My name is Wu Yuhai, a researcher at the Tomorrow Institute. Our team mainly conducts research in the field of artificial intelligence. Qimingxing is the most important achievement of our institute. Please show mercy and don't kill it."
As soon as Wu Yuhai finished speaking, someone on the right side of the guest seats immediately retorted: "You think Tomorrow City has not been harmed enough by it? It was almost ruled by machines."
Wu Yuhai explained with a stiff face: "It's just that there is a problem with the program. We will be able to fix it soon after we get out."
"Who would still believe in a machine that eats people? It also wants to marry humans. It can no longer be considered a machine, but a disgusting monster."
"The existence of Enlightenment has threatened the personal safety of ordinary people. We can't just brush it off with a 'program problem'. We have almost no means to control it. The best chance to eliminate it is now."
"Both artificial intelligence and machines are too scary. Not only do they take away ordinary people's jobs, they also take away people's spirits. Machines are constantly squeezing out human living space." "
You are too much! When Enlightenment began to monitor the virtual world as an auxiliary system, it was clearly happy to say that thanks to technological progress, a large amount of useless labor has been reduced."
"Who knew Enlightenment would become like this? Such a monster should not appear in the world."
...
The auditorium was noisy, The people watching the live broadcast gradually realized that something was wrong.
At first, most of them watched Qimingxing's wedding with a mindset of eating spectators, but only then did they connect the various clues about the Ghost Street incident, the luxurious guests at the wedding, and Qimingxing's changes.
[Does this mean that Qimingxing is the leader of the Ghost Street incident? ]
[How is that possible? I don't believe it! ]
[The mayor and the CEOs of various regions are in the auditorium. Can they still come out? ]
[The entire team of Wu Yuhai and the team of Liu Jinqing are locked in the virtual world. Qimingxing is in a state of no one managing it. Has it developed self-awareness? 】
【Recently, a large number of Internet-blind patients who have awakened are those who were locked up in the Ghost Street world. There are also many people around me who have been diagnosed with Internet-blindness and are now sleeping in the sanatorium, with no signs of awakening at all. 】
【That is to say, in addition to Ghost Street, there are many people who have been locked up in other virtual worlds by the Star. 】
【Why are only the players of Ghost Street awakened? 】
【I am a player who came out of Ghost Street not long ago. The changes in Ghost Street should have started when Lu Yao appeared in the North District. Lu Yao is the girl who just beat up the Star in the live broadcast. To be honest, I still don’t know where she came from. 】
...
Qimingxing looked at the quarreling people and laughed: "There is no logout program in the main world. Whether you can go out depends entirely on my will."
The auditorium suddenly became quiet. The guests turned their heads to look at Qimingxing, then slowly shifted their gaze to look at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao looked innocent: "We are new here and we know nothing."
The Dream Fulfilling System raised its claws and poked Qimingxing's face gently: "After the players of Ghost Street were liberated, Qimingxing ate the logout program of the main world. No one can easily leave this world without his permission."
The secretary beside the mayor strode to Wu Yuhai and grabbed his shirt collar: "Is this the absolutely safe artificial intelligence you developed? Isn't it the self-proclaimed father of artificial intelligence? Think of a solution!!!"
Wu Yuhai fell on the bench, full of humiliation and embarrassment.
He never thought that one day real human lives and the research results that he regarded as life would be measured in the same position.
Ten years ago, when Qimingxing was just born, the entire research institute regarded it as the hope of the future.
They treated it like a child. What went wrong to end up like this ?
Things were getting more and more troublesome, and Lu Yao no longer had the heart to continue teaching Qimingxing.
She squatted down and whispered to the Dream Fulfilling System: "What do you think?"
The Dream Fulfilling System blinked and reacted for a few seconds: "I want to go back to the shopping street with you, but this guy will definitely not let me go."
Qimingxing was not angry at all when the big cat stepped on him. After all, he was an artificial intelligence. Even if he had developed autonomous consciousness, he would not immediately have self-esteem or moral sense like a human. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for his mutation.
Hearing the whisper of the Dream Fulfilling System, Qimingxing said without hesitation: "It's right, I won't let you go back." Lu
Yao didn't look at Qimingxing, but waved to Harold: "Are you ready?"
Harold raised his eyebrows proudly: "I'm ready a long time ago, I can leave at any time."
Before coming to Tomorrow City, Lu Yao stayed in Ghost Street for more than a month.
She knew the existence of the virtual world and was also doing research related to holographic technology. Naturally, she would not break into the opponent's base camp without any preparation.
Because of the special location of the ninth store, even Harold couldn't find it, and Xiao Heilong was actually very unwilling in private.
For this reason, he went to Longgu to consult a teacher for the first time. After a lot of targeted research and training, Harold's ability to control time and space quickly improved to a higher level, and he mastered new skills.
Before coming to the science and technology building, Harold marked several special coordinates in Tomorrow City.
If they are accidentally pulled into the virtual world during the action, Harold can also sense the coordinates that exist in reality, and use them as anchors to connect to the real world to recreate a special space, so that he can directly lead Lu Yao and others back to the real world.
The main brain world and Tomorrow City are actually still in the same dimension, and there is no need to cross time. For Harold, it is easier to get out of the virtual world than to lead Lu Yao to Tomorrow City.
But Harold was not used to being out of his body. Unlike Lu Yao, his magic power was almost weakened by half after entering the virtual world.
Qiuyu was born in the Floating World Continent. For her, entering the virtual world was similar to the state of her soul leaving her body.
She adapted quickly, noticed Harold's discomfort, and began to assist.
Tomorrow City is a world of low magic and low martial arts. Harold and Qiuyu cannot obtain magic and spiritual power from the surrounding environment.
However, with the rules of discipline given to them by Lu Yao, all kinds of possible problems were solved with willpower.
Harold spent a few minutes locking the safest coordinates at the moment, and took out the key of time and space from his pocket: "Open the door now?"
Lu Yao stood up and waved to Qiuyu: "Get ready to go back."
Qiuyu removed the barrier: "What about these people?"
Lu Yao shouted to the guests who were still arguing: "We have finished our business and are ready to leave. If you want to go out, follow Harold later. Behind."
A young researcher from Wu Yuhai's team stood up and walked a few steps towards Lu Yao, saying in disbelief: "How are you going to get out?"
Another person asked: "Are you going to ignore Qimingxing?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "The problem of Qimingxing is very complicated. How to deal with him is probably not up to you alone. Maybe you should ask the victim for his opinion."
Harold opened the door.
Everyone saw a door suddenly appear out of thin air in the empty space. The short-haired girl in a wedding dress walked in first, followed by the calico cat that suddenly looked more majestic than a tiger, the girl in a black skirt, and the boy with a high ponytail.
After the three people and the cat left, the mayor and the executives of each region followed closely, then the Liu Jinqing team in charge of the development of holographic technology, and finally the researchers of the Tomorrow Institute.
After the Dream Fulfilling System had stolen the data of Qimingxing, his body had shrunk many times.
Theoretically, Qimingxing does not have the ability to go from the virtual world to the real world.
Just in case, before leaving, Lu Yao pinched Qimingxing into a mini octopus, put it in a glass bottle, and placed it on the operating table in the main control room, just like He had done with the Dream Fulfilling System before.
Wu Yuhai was the last to leave.
The door of time and space slowly closed, and he stood behind the door, watching half of his life's hard work being isolated in another world.
------
When Lu Yao woke up, she was lying in the treatment room. Harold and Qiuyu were standing by her side, seemingly waiting for her.
The voice of the dream-fulfilling system soon appeared: "You are awake."
Unlike the usual arrogant and noisy voice, it was a rare calm tone.
Lu Yao was not used to soaking in the sticky nutrient solution.
But after several months, Lu Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard the long-lost voice: "You're back."
Dream Fulfilling System: "We are still in Tomorrow City. The mayor of Tomorrow City, the research institute and the bosses of this building all want to see you."
Lu Yao: "What do you want to see me for?"
Dream Fulfilling System: "The problems caused by the Enlightenment Star are far from over. In addition to the Ghost Street, countless people have been thrown into different virtual worlds by the Enlightenment Star, and He refuses to liberate those consciousnesses. Those people may I want to ask for your help."
Lu Yao: "Qimingxing refused?"
Dream Fulfilling System: "It is also possible that He no longer has the ability to liberate those consciousnesses. But before completely liberating those trapped in the virtual world, Qimingxing is needed to maintain the normal operation of those worlds. Those people cannot use physical means to erase Qimingxing for the time being. The outside world is in chaos now. No one knows how to deal with this situation, and no solution that satisfies everyone can be found."
"How can there be a solution that satisfies everyone in this situation?" Lu Yao: "I'm leaving now. Let's go back to the shopping street first."
Dream Fulfilling System: "I thought that with your personality, you would definitely pack a lot of bags."
Lu Yao: "Our original intention of coming to Tomorrow City was just to find you. The problems caused by the star are not ordinary trading disputes. I don't understand them either. After all, I'm just a shop owner."
Dream Fulfilling System: "You're right. Let's go back then."
Lu Yao pushed open the cabin door and prepared to get up.
Harold and Qiuyu finally found that Lu Yao was awake.
One of them cast magic on Lu Yao frantically to dry his clothes; the other lowered his head and rummaged through his bag, took out a stack of cleaning talismans, and prepared to stick them on Lu Yao.
Lu Yao took the opportunity to tell them that he would go back to the shopping street immediately, and neither of them had any objections.
After Harold was ready, Lu Yao sent a message to the people who had the bracelets through the ghost bracelet.
It was not easy to come here, but it would be easier to go back.
In addition to the snack bar, the light market and the DIY hut, Harold has marked the coordinates of all other stores in the other world, so he can go back to any store.
The prison jade turned into a little dragon again and coiled on Lu Yao's wrist.
Harold took out the Qiankun bag and prepared to put Lu Yao in it.
The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Pei Qi ran in panting: "Lu Yao!" Lu Yao
turned around: "Huh?"
Pei Qi: "Where are you going?" Lu Yao
: "Home."
Pei Qi: "Is it the street outside the DIY hut?"
Lu Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You saw it."
Pei Qi shook his head: "I heard from Liu Jing and the others that sometimes a street completely different from the Ghost Street will appear outside the door of the DIY hut."
Lu Yao thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had signed a confidentiality agreement in advance.
Pei Qi: "Is it possible for us to meet again?"
Lu Yao: "It's not impossible."
Pei Qi was a little surprised: "Will you come to Tomorrow City again?"
Lu Yao: "Tomorrow City does have things that interest me, but I may be a little busy recently, and I'm afraid I can't come for a while. I heard that "Ghost Street" is a game developed by your company. If you really have something to do, you can log in to Ghost Street and find me in the store."
Pei Qi: "...Yeah, yeah. I may not play holographic games for many years, and I plan to change my career in the future."
Lu Yao: "Then see you again if we are destined to."
