141 Agent
◎Now the big boss behind the scenes is actually me?◎
"He asked me to tell you something." In that instant, Prometheus and Song Zhizhang merged, becoming one and the same person. "I don't know the whole truth. I'm just your agent."
agent?
Zhu Ning let go of Song Zhizhang. Her mind was a little confused.
Prometheus was just Zhu Ning's agent.
Assuming there is a reboot.
Restarting means erasing all memories and data, so another person must be used to activate it. The only one who can do this is Prometheus grafted onto artificial intelligence.
Every mission that Prometheus guides Zhu Ning on leaves clues.
The man-eating hotpot restaurant is pointed to Liu Niannian and Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.
The house where the man was being chased caused a confrontation between her and Chu Qing.
The Black Dentist asked her to find the notebook of the researcher of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.
Hengsheng Machinery Company is a clue. The brain of the abandoned experimental product is called the Alpha series experimental product. The red tentacles that come out of it can allow Wang Qinqian to restart.
It has been making Wang Qinqian jump off the building repeatedly.
This is the answer to the mystery of Hang Seng Machinery Company.
How did Prometheus know what would be in each polluted area? How did he know what reward he would receive?
Is it because Zhu Ning has already "entered" once, just like she is playing a game and has already cleared all the levels.
Through danger foresight, she knows the characteristics of monsters in each dungeon in advance, and also knows the Easter eggs left in each game dungeon.
She had somehow been able to restart and come up with the most advantageous plan, as she had already gathered this information. She entered one hundred contaminated areas and selected the most essential ones.
In order to ensure that she was still on track after the reboot, she contacted Prometheus.
Nothing is more suitable for auxiliary work than big data.
Big data can predict your future. Zhu Ning has a death prediction that can predict danger. When the information Zhu Ning provides is sufficient, they can really deduce a person's behavior trajectory.
Zhu Ning had always felt that Prometheus was the mastermind behind all this, like an omniscient and omnipotent god, who pushed him forward indifferently, not caring about his life or death.
Zhu Ning was just a tool being manipulated by others.
Now the big boss behind the scenes is actually me?
Zhu Ning recalled several times she looked back at the "original owner". During the interrogation, Yue Kaiyuan spread out Zhu Ning's past information. Zhu Ning felt as if another self was looking at her.
In the video footage found by Labao, the "original owner" deliberately looked back at the camera.
The "original owner" was looking at her.
After Zhu Ning accepted that he was an experimental subject, it was not so difficult for him to accept that he could restart. Since he accepted that he was a computer, it was normal for a computer to be formatted.
If this is true, she still has a few questions:
1. Is the rebooted self the same person as the previous self?
2. How do I restart? Will Zhu Ning be able to restart if he dies? How is this triggered? Are there any restrictions? What if this is my last chance?
3. How many times has the reboot been performed?
4. What was the reason for the reboot? How did they fail?
5. Was it a restart of time or a restart of Zhu Ning himself? If it was a restart of time, did Wei's mother see two Zhu Nings?
Zhu Ning asked these questions directly.
Prometheus couldn't answer Zhu Ning directly, so Song Zhizhang answered, "He said he didn't know."
If Zhu Ning could restart, like a computer formatting itself and running the program again, no one else would know the full picture, only the original owner would know.
Prometheus said that he was just Zhu Ning's agent.
All the information he knew was told to him by Zhu Ning.
The blue ring on Song Zhizhang's solar plexus flashed, and then he said, "You made a deal."
Zhu Ning asked, "What is the content of the transaction?"
Song Zhizhang, like an interpreter, waited a moment before answering, "He said this doesn't conform to the activation process you agreed upon."
Zhu Ning had signed a kind of "contract" with Prometheus. Zhu Ning asked, "What are we going to do next?"
Song Zhizhang: "That's also against the process."
Zhu Ning: “…”
She wanted to curse, but she couldn't ask anything?
Zhu Ning once asked Prometheus why he didn't tell him the answer directly. His answer was: I can't think for humans.
Similarly, the activation must be done by Zhu Ning herself. If all the information is poured into her in an instant, then after she wakes up, Prometheus can just let Song Zhizhang tell her.
Clearing all memories means letting her take a different path.
Zhu Ning looked at Song Zhizhang's sunshade. The blue ring was still flashing. That was Prometheus. Until now, Zhu Ning didn't know what he was.
Zhu Ning did not completely trust Prometheus because she was not sure what kind of deal the original owner had made with him. She had no memory of it, and if Prometheus ended up cheating her, she would not know where to go to cry.
This thing can directly control people's nerves.
Really, she is now being cheated by herself and an artificial intelligence. Aren’t they afraid that she will go off track and just quit?
But no, Zhu Ning is already on this path, and she has no way to go.
After re-sorting the information, she didn't know what had happened, but judging from the limited information left by the "original owner".
The second doomsday is about to come, and Zhu Ning chooses to restart in order to prevent it.
She encountered an opponent that she found difficult to deal with.
The good news is that the sooner she knows, the earlier she can make plans. It's like she's playing a game and can't get to the ending, so she deletes the file and starts over.
Did she have the upper hand this time?
The bad news is that she has no relevant memories and has no idea what the so-called second apocalypse is.
She doesn't even know where the big boss is, how is she supposed to fight him?
Not only does she not know whether the zombie world exists, she doesn't even know which generation she is.
Before, Zhu Ning always used to distinguish between himself and the original owner, but now there is no need.
She made a deal with Prometheus, and Song Zhizhang was a bonus. The only definite information Zhu Ning learned was that she had been guiding herself.
Zhu Ning didn't ask any more questions. The blue halo of Song Zhizhang's solar acupoint went out. Song Zhizhang said, "He's offline."
Prometheus was as indifferent as before, and there were still many things he had not explained clearly.
Zhu Ning remained silent.
Unless Zhu Ning obtains a human-machine joint device, such communication efficiency will be too low.
She needed to "meet" Prometheus.
Song Zhizhang had wondered whether Zhu Ning would force a conversation with Prometheus through him, but he didn't expect that day to come so early.
In the darkness, Song Zhizhang couldn't see Zhu Ning's expression clearly, and he was trying his best to sense Zhu Ning's emotions.
Zhu Ning had trapped him behind the door, but now he reached out his hand to him.
With a snap—
Zhu Ning turned on the light next to the door, illuminating the living room, and Song Zhizhang instinctively squinted his eyes.
"Want to chat?" Zhu Ning asked.
Song Zhizhang knew what Zhu Ning wanted to talk to her. If he were Zhu Ning, he would definitely check whether he was trustworthy at this time. Lin Xiaofeng was still sleeping downstairs.
Song Zhizhang handed over a glass of ice water. Ice water can sometimes make people more sober.
Zhu Ning did not refuse, and she accepted any drink that Song Zhizhang handed her.
There is a bar in Song Zhizhang's house. Zhu Ning is sitting in front of the bar and Song Zhizhang is standing opposite. They seem to have just met not long ago. At that time, it was Song Zhizhang who handed Zhu Ning a drink.
Now that the weather is cold, Song Zhizhang's home clothes are all fleece-lined, and he looks a bit innocent when wearing black.
Song Zhizhang thought about it and took off the human-machine joint device. Now that Prometheus was not present, he would take off his guns during the negotiations. He showed his trust in Zhu Ning.
The mycelium attached to the surface of the blue circle was retracting, and there were even bloodstains on it.
Song Zhizhang had just said that if Zhu Ning was forcibly pulled out, he might suffer a brain injury, and it seemed to be true.
Zhu Ning and Song Zhizhang had talked before, but it was always Zhu Ning who asked the questions, and Song Zhizhang rarely took the initiative to confess.
Before Zhu Ning could finish his words, Song Zhizhang took the initiative to say, "Let me tell you."
Song Zhizhang had never tried to talk about his past. He paused before speaking, "I retired from District 2 and came to District 103. This is the garbage disposal center. The way things work here is different from other districts. People don't care about their backgrounds. To put it bluntly, it has a more underworld atmosphere. Although it can't compare to the prosperity of District 2, I quite like it here."
Song Zhizhang was telling his own story. It was snowing in District 103 on the day he arrived. There was a huge garbage mountain in the city, and robotic arms were working day and night.
On a snowy night, Song Zhizhang walked aimlessly in a black coat. He walked into this dilapidated street and saw the sign of the Noble Queen Store. The neon lights were flashing and there was a transfer poster hanging on it.
This used to be a polluted area. Song Zhizhang happened to pass by here and out of professional habit, he leveled it and cleaned it up. It was just a matter of convenience and he didn't leave afterwards.
Zhu Ning didn't know how to play that tomb forum at all. There were many career options in the tomb forum. In addition to the regular ones like cleaners and demon hunters, there was also a logistics department.
As long as you have enough funds, you can choose to open a store to store contaminated spores. Many demon hunters will also open private contaminated spore storage departments after retirement.
At that time, Song Zhizhang was standing in the noble Queen's shop filled with contaminated spores, surrounded by the smell of corruption and blood.
He found the meaning of coming to Area 103 and opened an intake department.
Unexpectedly, after coming from District 2 to District 103, he was still dealing with pollutants. Once he got involved in this business, it would be difficult to get out.
Song Zhizhang hired cleaners to clean up the scene and also hired someone to renovate the store.
It would be best if the Confinement Department could be combined with the underground industry. He repaired the sign of the Noble Queen Shop and started doing business. The income from the Witcher was enough for him to run a shop and he also had his own employees.
Song Zhizhang: "About two months ago, I received a package. There was no sender, only a black box containing a human-machine hybrid device."
Song Zhizhang used to be a demon hunter, so he certainly knew what this thing was. Prometheus had provided him with hospice care.
At that time, Song Zhizhang was dying, but hospice care was ineffective. In the entire demon hunter team, only Song Zhizhang survived, and he was the only one who escaped to Area 103.
Song Zhizhang: "Prometheus contacted me and asked me to do him a favor."
Song Zhizhang looked at Zhu Ning's expression as he spoke. Her long eyelashes drooped, preventing Song Zhizhang from seeing her eyes.
Zhu Ning might not be interested in his past at all.
Song Zhizhang continued, "I'm surprised he has a spare human-machine joint device. He told me that Area 103 is about to be destroyed."
Song Zhizhang participated in the plan, but did not know the full picture. "He said that a woman would come over in a while and asked me to help wherever I could."
So on the day Zhu Ning took over the hot pot restaurant, Song Zhizhang and others were waiting outside the store. Sure enough, they saw a black motorcycle stop and a woman in a black protective suit for cleaners jumped out.
"I'm looking for a hot pot restaurant." said Zhu Ning.
"Hot pot restaurant?" Song Zhizhang could recall his lines from that day. "Okay, come again?"
Song Zhizhang wore exaggerated clothes and performed in an exaggerated manner. He pointed out a way to the contaminated area to Zhu Ning, and later he met Zhu Ning again who came to exchange contaminated spores.
Zhu Ning came to exchange the contaminated spores for the second time. She fell asleep in Song Zhizhang's office due to excessive use of her mental value. Song Zhizhang looked at her for a long time, and finally reached out and covered her with a blanket.
In the beautiful blueprint painted by Prometheus, Zhu Ning is the key.
Song Zhizhang thought he was just helping out. He used to be a demon hunter and now he is a boss, and he has helped many people.
But this was the first time he had done such a strange favor. Zhu Ning added him in his communication, and would come to him when his spirit value dropped, when he was being observed by Chu Qing, and when he wanted to settle Lin Xiaofeng.
She rented a room here and actually lived there.
In the end, Zhu Ning handed Lin Xiaofeng over to him, and he inevitably became more and more familiar with Zhu Ning.
After that, he slowly began to get out of Prometheus' control. The first half of their relationship was his friendship with Prometheus, and the latter half was his friendship with Zhu Ning.
Prometheus is activating Zhu Ning, and Song Zhizhang's existence is a supporting line. He will provide help to Zhu Ning when she needs it.
Song Zhizhang has never had any definite evidence about Zhu Ning's true identity and what Prometheus said today. He only made a rough guess based on a few words.
Song Zhizhang: "I really have no ill intentions towards you."
Song Zhizhang said this again, but he didn't know what to say after he finished speaking. He felt that he had explained everything he needed to explain.
It was reasonable for Zhu Ning to be angry, and Song Zhizhang could also understand if she moved out today, except that he might not see Lin Xiaofeng again in the future.
Zhu Ning raised her eyelids. She didn't say anything, but just looked at him silently.
Her eyes fell on Song Zhizhang's high collar, which was completely covered by his black home clothes, but there was still a part of Song Zhizhang's story hidden.
For example, the reason for coming to Area 103, and what the room where Zhu Ning lived was used for before.
Zhu Ning felt that the hidden part had nothing to do with him. "You have so many secrets."
Song Zhizhang knew Zhu Ning well enough to know she was joking when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Secrets are what make you charming."
His words were a bit shameless, but Zhu Ning surprisingly did not refute them.
Zhu Ning nodded, "That makes sense."
Zhu Ning's words made Song Zhizhang feel very uncomfortable. "You're not angry?"
Zhu Ning: "You've been helping me all the time, why should I be angry?"
After hearing Song Zhizhang's story, Zhu Ning felt much more relieved. At least he knew who his landlord was, which proved that Zhu Ning had not trusted the wrong person.
Zhu Ning gestured at his neck and said, "Does it hurt? I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with Prometheus."
Song Zhizhang knew and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."
Zhu Ning groaned. Song Zhizhang was really easy for people to bully. She was afraid that if she and Song Zhizhang were together, they would always bully others. "Then I'm going to bed. You should get some rest early."
Xu Meng asked her to rest, saying that she would go crazy if she frequently entered the contaminated area, and she needed to sort out the information by herself later.
Zhu Ning stood up and said, "By the way, I've transferred the rent to you."
Zhu Ning rented Song Zhizhang's house and she had to pay the second month's rent.
Song Zhizhang opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that he had no reason to keep her. Zhu Ning closed the door, leaving Song Zhizhang alone at the bar. His secondary brain flashed, indicating that the rent had been received.
Song Zhizhang didn't look at the deputy chief, but stared at the closed door. Zhu Ning had already left.
The author has something to say:
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. It doesn’t matter. You just need to know that Ningning is guided by herself, not controlled by Prometheus. Just get this point, the rest will be explained later.
