Chapter 630 High-Dimensional Interference
Baimu is the native inhabitant of the Godless City.
Baimu couldn't remember when and why he appeared in the City of Godlessness.
It seems that ever since Baimu could remember, it has been living in the City Without God.
I go to the monitoring center to watch the surveillance screen during the day, and go home to rest alone at night.
This kind of days lasted for several decades, and Baimu sometimes even forgot whether he was a living being or a machine.
Because even artificial life cannot live as regularly as Baimu.
Occasional loss of control and runaway are a daily occurrence for artificial life.
This is precisely one of the important reasons why they are regarded as artificial life rather than artificial machines.
However, Baimu is different. It has been living this regular life for decades without any leisure time.
Even Baimu has never participated in the association activities that the residents of the Godless City like to participate in the most.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Baimu's image.
Because Baimu's true form is a mass of flesh.
Because the surface of the tumor was covered with eyes, it was called "Hundred Eyes".
Fortunately, Baimu doesn't care about his image in the eyes of outsiders. Instead, he is somewhat grateful that he has so many eyes.
Because if there weren't so many eyes, Baimu wouldn't be able to join the monitoring center to observe and confirm in real time the abnormal information transmitted by drones.
If it weren't for this job in the monitoring center, Baimu would probably have been sacrificed decades ago.
It is precisely because of his own uniqueness and irreplaceability that Baimu was able to escape the "sacrifice" that takes place once every ten years and become one of the longest-lived residents of the Godless City.
In fact, sometimes Baimu also wonders, is it really meaningful to live like this?
No family, no friends, and nothing to do...
Living simply for the sake of living, its existence itself is even more boring than those artificial lives.
However, Baimu quickly rejected this idea.
Because Baimu at least still has his own will, unlike those residents of the godless city who live under surveillance.
No old beliefs are allowed to emerge, and no new ideas are allowed to be born...
The residents of the Godless City live a much harder life than the outside world imagines.
All itineraries and life must only be carried out within the prescribed scope. Any violation will be subject to special attention and scrutiny.
It would be fine if it involves belief in gods.
The Godless City was originally created to rebel against God, so it is quite reasonable not to allow the emergence of belief in God.
But the problem is that as time goes by, the acceptance of new ideas in the Godless City is decreasing little by little.
Today, all behaviors that do not comply with regulations are defined as "illegal".
On the surface, Baimu’s current job is to identify abnormal information.
But in reality, it is an investigation of the residents of the Godless City.
Once it is discovered that any resident has begun to believe in gods, or has new ideas, they will be marked by Baimu immediately and reported to higher-level management.
"Do you think this is the right thing to do?"
An invisible shadow appeared beside Baimu.
Sometimes it turns into a long worm, sometimes it gathers into a human form, with various appearances and shapes.
The only thing that is certain is that this shadow appeared beside Baimu a long time ago and has been trying to exert its influence on him.
"What is right? What is wrong?"
Having long been accustomed to the appearance of shadows, Baimu just opened one eye out of habit.
That eye came from a certain spiritual race and possessed the special ability to see through yin and yang.
However, even this special eye cannot confirm whether this shadow really exists, let alone understand its nature.
After a long time, Baimu began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his mental health.
"I don't know what's right..."
"But I know what you are doing now must be wrong."
The twisted shadows changed wantonly, and its voice seemed a little old, but it also had a kind of wisdom that saw through the world.
"The original intention of building this city was to resist the belief in gods, so that the creatures of this world would not become tools of gods..."
"But now, the city itself has become a monster that devours all living things."
"And you are His accomplice, a traitor who helps Him imprison all living beings!"
He moved his eyeballs slightly, but Baimu still maintained that calm look.
"I just want to live and keep living."
"If this is considered wrong, then is there anything right in this world?"
In response to Baimu's answer, the distorted shadow stopped changing, and even its voice seemed to become a little sad.
"Just to survive?"
"Since when has it become so difficult to survive?"
"When did this city start to ban new ideas?"
"Or should we start from when those artificial life forms start monitoring us?"
Before Baimu could continue to answer, the twisted shadow spoke again.
"If you really want to live once, then pay attention to these people!"
As if to confirm the shadow's words, one of the hundred eyes suddenly opened wide uncontrollably and locked onto one of the hundreds of screens not far away.
It was an image of two winged humanoid creatures.
At first glance, these two humanoids don't look much different from the other residents of the Godless City.
Even the city’s surveillance system didn’t detect anything unusual about them.
It was not until a golden talisman appeared in Baimu's eye that it finally noticed the abnormality of the two humanoid creatures.
There was always a thin layer of mist covering the two humanoid creatures.
That layer of mist is between existence and non-existence, and it deceives outsiders' perspectives all the time. It is the interference force from a higher dimension.
Whenever the two humanoid creatures behaved in a way that was not in line with the residents of the Godless City, the mist would automatically correct their behavior in the eyes of outsiders, making it appear that they were just doing something very normal.
For example, now, two completely different situations appear in Baimu’s perspective.
From the perspective of other eyes, the two humanoid creatures were just walking normally on the street and did not perform any abnormal behavior throughout the whole process.
But in the eye with the golden talisman, the two humanoid creatures were cautious, constantly trying to chat and communicate with other residents of the Godless City.
You know, chatting and communicating with strangers in the city without gods is a very dangerous thing.
After all, no one knows whether those strangers you talk to are believers of God or heretics who have awakened to new ideas.
