Chapter 249 Inner City Rules



[Citizen's Code of Conduct for the Inner City of Viña]

1. One should show genuine reverence for the gods. Gods should not be looked at directly, peered at, or profaned.

When you encounter any non-humanoid command creature in the inner city, assume it is a deity, lower your head, and avoid eye contact and communication.

2. Eve is an artificial intelligence that monitors all citizens in the inner city. She has a female personality, not a male personality or any other non-human personality.

Please note that Eve will not communicate with you; she will only silently observe you. If any AI claiming to be "Eve" attempts to communicate with you, please ignore everything she says and report her account directly.

3. Your location and all your posts will be uploaded to Eve's system in real time. Please be mindful of your words and do not go to places you should not be.

If Eve determines that you are in the wrong place, the Bureau of Inspectorate will arrest you directly.

You may use tools to conceal your whereabouts, but this will not fool the clever Eve, and once discovered, the Inspectorate will destroy you on the spot.

4. Cyber ​​disease is a common mental illness in inner-city areas. Please do not worry or be anxious excessively, as this will increase your risk of infection.

For details on the symptoms of infection, please refer to the "Cybervirus Disease Research Report." If you unfortunately encounter another person infected with Cybervirus Disease, please immediately maintain a safe distance from them, call the police, and remain there until the inspectors arrive.

5. Please believe in at least one deity. A sufficiently devout faith will help prevent you from contracting cybernetics.

The doctors at the Central Hospital of Viña de Viña are trustworthy. If you experience any physical or psychological discomfort, you can seek help at the hospital located in the heart of the inner city.

6. If anyone introduces you to resistance organizations or promotes heretical ideas, refuse them. If you have already listened, remain rational and do not believe or think about their content, as this will make you more susceptible to cybernetics.

7. Remember your own code name. Accurate self-awareness is beneficial to your personal safety.

8. When a family has a stable residence in the inner city and has more than three members, one of them will have a special symbol representing a deity appear on their body.

Please accept this situation calmly and allow the member to go to the altar of the gods for baptism as a divine servant. [By the way, this refers to the content of "serving the gods".]

9. If you find yourself speaking in a manner that sounds like someone else's voice, please assume there is nothing wrong and go to the central hospital. Do not tell anyone until the doctor has made a diagnosis.

10. Robots must strictly adhere to the rules; please do not attempt to use special abilities to manipulate them.

Because robots are immune to mental talents.

[0. All of the above rules are invalid for Class A citizens.]

Yin Zhu stroked his chin and pondered: This 0th rule feels a bit like the 0th basic rule of Sin City.

The inner city has fewer rules than the outer city, but there are some issues to consider when comparing them, such as the issue of belief in gods and attitudes towards resistance organizations...

In addition, Yin Zhu also discovered a loophole in the "Citizens' Code of Conduct in the Inner City of Vina".

A loophole that almost only Yin Zhu could exploit.

However, this is just a conjecture and has not been put into practice yet. Yin Zhu does not intend to tell others, lest it fail and disappoint them.

After all, without expectations, there is no disappointment.

As for whether people will think I'm being wise after the event if I succeed... that's another matter.

The rules in the inner city show that cyber illness is indeed a common mental illness in the inner city. In fact, the issue is mentioned in three consecutive rules, which explains why people in the inner city don't take cyber illness seriously.

Since it is a mental illness, the treatment should start from the psychological aspect, but why would the infected person be directly destroyed in the inner city?

In particular, rule number five is a complete and utter scam.

[Please have faith in at least one deity; a sufficiently devout faith will protect you from cybernetics infection.] — But even deities can be infected, who would have thought?

The doctors at the Central Hospital of Viña are trustworthy. If you feel any physical or psychological discomfort, you can seek help in the center of the inner city. — You'll be assigned a room as soon as you enter the hospital, then wait in line to be disposed of; perhaps this is what they call "help."

However, Yin Zhu could probably understand the purpose of this rule.

Cyberpsychosis is a mental illness, so having a devout faith can maximize the effect of deceiving oneself.

Like many people on Earth, once their faith reaches a point of obsession, they can deceive themselves to the point of self-immolation. Yin Zhu once met an old woman who believed in a cult. She firmly believed that she didn't need to go to the hospital when she was sick because her god would heal her. In the end, her illness directly sent her to see the god she believed in.

When Yin Zhu heard the news of her grandmother's death when she was a child, she couldn't understand why her grandmother would believe something that was obviously fake, and she felt very sad about her grandmother's foolishness.

However, after growing up and seeing more of the world, and coming into contact with all sorts of brainwashing tactics, Yin Zhu realized that she shouldn't try to guess the thought processes of those cult members using the thinking methods of a normal person.

There are all kinds of people in this world.

Besides cyberbullying, there's another rule to be aware of.

Eve.

The name clearly originates from the female human clan in Christian mythology, so emphasizing gender later on is not unreasonable.

But the second half of the sentence is quite interesting.

Please note that Eve will not communicate with you; she will only silently observe you.

Would someone impersonate Eve to communicate with higher citizens?

Or perhaps Eve's own artificial intelligence has developed to a certain point, so it has some initiative?

The artificial intelligence that can benefit the people of Blue Star is mainly limited to chat software. Yin Zhu once tried using the relevant software and then discovered a strange thing about the artificial intelligence chat software - it can make things up.

When the content of the conversation exceeds its knowledge base, it is likely to make things up.

Yin Zhu didn't know if the artificial intelligence was aware that it was making things up, but judging from the missing references and the fact that the information didn't even exist, it seemed that the artificial intelligence thought that since humans wouldn't bother to check the content to see if it was correct, it could just make something up to fool people.

Perhaps the gods prevented communication between citizens and Eve because they feared Eve would make up stories.
