Chapter 411 Traveling in the Ether Level
The strange man who combined the two looked at himself blankly and helplessly in the dormant cabin, and there was even a faint smell of pollution rising up.
This is a sign of strong conflict between two consciousnesses.
Rather than letting the deformed clone continue to be immersed in the conflict, Sean quickly ended the other person's life.
Sure enough, the pipe under the dormant cabin opened again and absorbed the corpse.
The cloning device here seems to have some kind of setting. Once the clone it creates loses consciousness, it will directly start the process of re-creation.
Sean was frowning and thinking, and suddenly, Noah sent a reminder.
"Lord Three Saints, my scan has invaded a subsystem."
"Subsystem?" Sean frowned, "Didn't you say that the structure of this place is weird and cannot be scanned? "
Noah replied: "According to the analysis results, as I said before, this is not a product before the end of the world, but your experiment just now allowed me to find a new idea-Total In general, this place imitates the construction method of the most advanced shelter, and even builds a huge database for it.”
"However, the programs and databases originally used to control the system here have been parasitized by something. The electronic program has turned into an existence similar to biological consciousness, and this biological consciousness is changing the shelter itself, so I can't Scan the weird structures and system nodes here."
"So I changed a method and found the abandoned storage node of this local system-I also own this node group, which is generally used to store discarded objects. The data will be eliminated uniformly after a fixed period of time. The parasitized system here still retains some operating modes, including abandoned nodes, and has not been eliminated for a long time."
Shaun Eyes. Liang: "Is there any important information in it?"
"Please wait, the cracking is in progress..."
After a while, Noah's voice sounded again: "The cracking is completed, most of the data has been It has been completely scrapped, and I have detected valuable information as 'etheric layer contamination'"
"Contamination of the etheric layer?"
"There is no relevant record in the database. It is speculated that it is an activity carried out in the etheric layer, which is highly likely to be unobservable in the real world."
Hearing Noah's answer, Sean Lost in thought.
After going round and round, we finally reached the etheric layer...
It is slightly different from the etheric layer mentioned in the world before traveling. The concept of the etheric layer in this world was changed by the game itself.
Even if it is a deep blue level expert, it is difficult to completely explain what the etheric layer is.
In Sean's case, the etheric layer can be directly regarded as a combination of the energy layer and spiritual power.
Energy is generally invisible and intangible, just like mental power, but the two are related to every living thing. If another word is used to explain the etheric layer, Sean feels, 'Wrapped 'That's a good word.
It is the package itself - surrounding, hiding, surrounding people... Whether it is solid, liquid, gas, or light body, it is the package itself. As long as it exists, it must be wrapped.
In short, think of the real world as a huge sphere, and the etheric layer is the bubble wrapping the sphere. There are countless things hidden in the bubble, including energy, spirit, and possibly memory. It's emotions. Many things in reality will show up in different appearances in the etheric layer, although sometimes you can't even see those appearances clearly.
And it is precisely because of this characteristic that even if you are qualified and capable of entering the etheric layer, it is very easy to get lost.
As for the information that Noah searched for, the so-called etheric layer contamination, Sean suspected that it was a parasitic behavior that occurred in the etheric layer.
Just like this unexplainable shelter, its appearance in the etheric layer was parasitized by something, so Noah couldn't scan it, and Sean couldn't see its true source.
And the compressed special proliferation that seems to help the cloning device copy Sean's acquaintances seems to be taking advantage of this.
He took another look at the special proliferation stuck in the startup panel: "I feel that there is no information about my friends in this thing, it is just a primer..."
Noah said softly: "I think your inference is quite accurate. According to my analysis of special proliferation, this type of item is often not very special in itself. It is more like a key, or, more like A signal opens the door and attracts things that should not exist in the real world. "
Sean thought: "So, why was the special proliferation of the Survivor Mountain clearing the evil dome? "
Noah continued: "Whether it is a crazy beast, a gaze from an unknown height, or a special proliferation... I think it is inseparable from those evil gods, and the saints Lord Three, please remember that the evil gods are not on the same front."
Suddenly a flash of understanding flashed through Sean: "That's true...but where do the memories of my friends come from. I still don’t know... Maybe we have to find the answer ourselves.”
“Three Saints, what do you mean?”
Sean's eyes shone slightly: "I want to go to the etheric layer myself."
Noah immediately advised: "Please think about it again, although you have the ability to control your etheric body, but That is with the help of the evil god's ritual and the anchoring function of the thinking hall. The activities of the etheric body in the real world and the activities of the etheric body in the etheric layer are not the same concept. "
Sean just nodded casually: " I know that entering the etheric layer without permission is very dangerous, especially for me, a living person."
Noah said: "No, you still underestimate the etheric layer. I am a thinking person. The main control system of the hall can exist on the etheric layer. On the one hand, the person who created me has abilities that cannot be described in my database. On the other hand, I am just an electronic program. Electronic programs are often regarded as The energy flow is ignored, but the consciousness is different. You will be more... dazzling and less free inside. You cannot end the call and return to the thinking hall like the real world, but you need to rush back by yourself."
Noah’s electronic female voice was serious. As a program, this emotional expression was actually not correct, but it still advised: "It is common to get lost in the etheric layer, and if you Being targeted by unknown beings in the etheric layer, I cannot recall you..."
Sean interrupted it and just smiled: "The etheric layer is the embodiment of the energy and consciousness of this world, right?"
"Yes." Even if he wanted to persuade Sean, Noah still gave priority. Questions answered.
Sean smiled: "So, what is the starting point of the etheric layer?"
"The real world."
Sean spread his hands: "That's fine, isn't it? ?”
Noah was silent for a while, and then said: "Neither the database nor the automatic learning program can find the true meaning of your words. The Third Saint, please make it clear, otherwise, Noah will continue to persuade. ——Protect the safety of the owner of the thinking hall, including body, spirit, energy, consciousness, data, etc. This is my iron rule."
Sean tapped his temple: "Living creatures. The consciousness will be targeted, but what about the electronic program?"
Noah was silent again, and after a moment, his voice actually contained human admiration: "I understand, Lord Three Saints? , your sensitivity is something I can never match. "
"Stop flattering me, go back to the thinking hall and help me prepare. I will settle down my delicious body, and then you can directly summon my etheric body."< br>
“Yes.”
After hearing the answer, Sean looked towards the exit of the shelter.
After a moment, he smiled slightly, then looked around and found an abandoned small single room.
No one will come to this place... Sean has already felt the call. As long as he responds, he will appear in the thinking hall, and his etheric body can go out to explore. Of course, and As before, his real body will temporarily lose consciousness.
After looking around, Sean walked to a corner that looked quite comfortable. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly stood up again.
"Forget it..."
Muttered, Sean quickly moved towards the nearest exit.
His departure was not noticed by anyone. After searching in the oasis, he simply sank his body into the middle of the lake.
With Sean's current physical capabilities, even if he loses consciousness, he can still survive in the water for a long time.
The cold lake water soaked his whole body. Sean found a hidden rock at the bottom of the lake. After using fox magic to hide the surrounding area, he lay down under the rock.
Snapping his fingers, Sean slowly closed his eyes.
Opening his eyes again, he had appeared in the hall of thinking.
This time, the ceiling overhead has been opened.
The bizarre scenery once again appeared within his field of vision. Without the obstruction of the ceiling, it seemed that he would get lost in it just by looking at it.
Sean didn’t pause at all, but launched his deceitful heart towards himself.
"The price is not small... Thirty days of mechanized consciousness..." Sean opened his eyes, his eyes became a little dull, and the expression on his face became stiff.
A stream of data came from the corner of the hall of thinking, and then penetrated into Sean's etheric body.
Noah's voice sounded: "Three Saints, I have connected the nodes of my main control unit for you, and at the same time, I have reconstructed your thinking model for you in the form of a database."
Turning his head stiffly, Sean forced a smile: "This is what it feels like to become an artificial intelligence..."
Yes, this time, he deceived himself again with his deceitful heart. .
Since it is easy for the etheric body of a living creature to enter the etheric layer, problems may arise, so it is better to enter as an electronic program.
Moreover, the starting point of the etheric layer is the real world. In other words, Sean does not need to deceive the entire etheric layer. He only needs to deceive his own consciousness - treating himself as an electronic program, and the etheric layer also Corresponding changes will occur.
The only problem with this method is that Sean’s deepest original consciousness will also be changed. After all, after the deceitful heart is successful, it will be completely unreasonable. But fortunately, Noah is here and can help him. Provide sufficient computing power and thinking model.
Of course, it cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise, he may really think of himself as an electronic program.
Without any hesitation, Sean headed towards the world outside the ceiling.
Noah's voice rang in his ears: "Please be careful, Lord Three Saints. I am limited by the anchor mechanism of the Hall of Thought and cannot leave. I can only provide you with suggestions and basic scans. The scope is roughly the same as the real world." The thirty kilometers is almost the same. Considering the particularity of the etheric layer, it may take you a long time to walk thirty kilometers, or you may reach the edge of my scan in just two steps. I will remind you then.”
"Understood." Sean nodded, and his speech became almost like artificial intelligence.
However, you don’t need to pay too much attention to the details. Although there are many uncertainties in the etheric layer, and the concept of distance is also changing all the time, if his body is nearby, he will walk out of the nearby area of the thinking hall. , should also be the embodiment area of the etheric layer near the shelter.
“Boom——”
Just as he walked some distance forward, a long and strange voice seemed to sound from his mind.
It was a giant lizard with a bubble head. Its huge head was stuffed into a small transparent bubble, which had been squeezed out of shape, and its limbs and tail were twitching like a squid. , every time it twitches, a long sound will come out of the bubble head's mouth.
However, this thing is reversing...
Noah's voice sounded: "Database comparison... There is no record. It is speculated to be an unknown etheric layer creature. It is recommended not to contact it."
"Understood."
The weird bubble-headed monitor lizard "padded" leisurely, showing no interest in Sean underneath him.
However, this is because in its perception, Sean is just a series of common energy flows, and energy flows are everywhere in the etheric layer, and the appearance of energy flows is naturally strange.
Shaun no longer paid attention to these strange creatures, but found a direction and swam with his head covered.
Indeed, when swimming, this place seems to be like deep water most of the time. You can only move forward by paddling your limbs. Occasionally, the gravity will suddenly fail and fall, and it seems that you have stepped on flat ground again.
Although it was awkward, Sean continued to explore.
The reason why he came in was not to find out the so-called etheric layer contamination, but to find another thing.
The Sanctuary is parasitized by some kind of consciousness in the etheric layer, which means that the Sanctuary in reality is a living creature in a sense.
Living creatures naturally have obvious etheric characteristics.
That's what Sean is looking for.
However, the etheric layer was too strange. Even after spending a lot of time, he still could not find the consciousness he wanted.
Suddenly, while swimming forward, Sean saw a tree.
Anything can appear in the etheric layer, but the moment he saw the tree, Sean had an intuition.
This is it!
……
At this moment, the real world.
Shaun, who was working, suddenly straightened up.
A message popped up on his game panel.
"Bounty mission released!"
"The immortal body at the bottom of the lake!"
