Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 2008: Metaverse…?

Chapter 2013 Metaverse...?

When Lin Sanjiu found Yu Yuan again, he was looking up at the real-time public speech of the seventeenth generation mayor of Peanut Town.

The appearance of the seventeenth generation mayor is quite similar to the photo of the previous mayor hanging in the mayor's house; the difference is that he is more majestic and taller, and he can inspire people by raising his hand in the air. There were countless cheers and applause below.

Lin Sanjiu seemed to have caught up to the end of the mayor's speech.

The seventeenth-generation mayor on the screen is standing on the balcony of a magnificent building, with lights, crowds, and a line of scrolling headlines "The mayor delivers a celebratory speech" at his feet; the night sky behind him Inside, a firework was slowly dispersing, and the mayor announced in a loud voice: "...With our joint construction, Peanut Town will definitely get better and better!"

Before he finished speaking, he was drowned out by the overwhelming applause below.

"What...what is going on?" Lin Sanjiu walked closer step by step, as if being hypnotized, it was difficult to look away from the screen, and for a moment he even forgot about the incident that had just happened. "Isn't there a seventeenth-generation mayor? Isn't this building the mayor's mansion?"

Once doubts begin, it is difficult to suppress them. "Aren't we in the mayor's mansion now? Where did the fireworks, speeches and crowds come from? I was upstairs just now, and it was as quiet as a tomb outside - ah, I understand, is this a video from before? Is he the mayor of the previous generation?"

Only then did Yu Yuan turn around and glance at her.

"No," his voice was soft, as if to make it easier for Lin Sanjiu to digest. "This is the seventeenth-generation mayor. According to this evening real-time news, the seventeenth-generation mayor is standing on the second-floor balcony above us at this moment, and has just finished speaking to the people gathered outside the house."

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, but no words came out. Silence once again flooded into the underground hall and the mayor's palace above, except for the faint sound of footsteps in the distance, probably belonging to Chief Krone's guard.

"...I don't understand."

"Tonight there is a long-planned celebration, mainly to celebrate that the population of Peanut Town has exceeded the 20,000 mark," Yu Yuan still explained patiently.

What is this all about?

Yu Yuan looked at his watch and said: "The seventeenth generation mayor went to the balcony of the mayor's house fifteen minutes ago, delivered a celebratory speech, and conducted a live broadcast. In addition to the town mayor, the attendees In addition to officials and representatives, there are also many lucky people who witnessed tonight's fireworks display."

Lin Sanjiu almost suspected that there was something wrong with his brain. "What on earth are you talking about?"

Yu Yuan laughed softly, gestured to the screen, and said: "If you are a citizen of Peanut Town and are using the 'tutoring machine', TV, radio and private telescreen, then this is where you live. The reality of it."

"What?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't handle it anymore, "In other words, they all thought that the previous gun battle was actually setting off fireworks? The guards' search in the town was... organizing a celebration Activities?"

"That's right," Yu Yuan turned away from the screen and said, "A gunfight in the safe and peaceful Peanut Town is, of course, a rumor. According to some residents of Peanut Town, 'Why didn't the gunfight bring down the rumors? Beat him to death', 'A bullet hit your brain? Do you know it was a gunfight?'"

Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples vigorously a few times. "Wait a minute, I don't understand. Even if the fireworks can be set off immediately, as long as they walk out and walk to the mayor's house to take a look, everything - oh, they won't be allowed to get close."

Yu Yuan stood silently in front of a large instrument, but just looked at it without moving.

"Is it possible that people whose homes have been searched by the town police before..."

"'My house received the town guards tonight,'" Yu Yuan clicked on the instrument a few times and read a line of words on the screen: "'For such a big event, shouldn't we check it in advance to ensure safety? , this can even spread rumors, it is definitely out of good intentions."

Lin Sanjiu was confused. "Did he really think so because his home was searched? Or was he covering it up?"

Yu Yuan looked back at her and said, "Who knows."

Lin Sanjiu found that there were always moments tonight when she opened her mouth but could not find anything to say.

"All these live broadcasts, news, images... are all generated by the 'Mayor Aoye' system," Yu Yuan looked at the instrument and said slowly: "Including the seventeenth generation mayor you saw . In the minds of the people of Peanut Town, the seventeenth generation mayor has been in office for more than ten years. There are countless records of meetings, speeches, inspections... In this town, you and I are just rumors, the mayor That’s the truth.”

“Don’t you want to shut down this part of the system?” Lin Sanjiu took a while to recover from the shock and asked, “Why can it continue to generate these images? If it cannot be shut down, we can destroy all these instruments. Drop."

Yu Yuan did not speak, but held the edge of the machine with both hands and pulled it to the side - amidst the sound of metal friction, Lin Sanjiu's eyes revealed the row of machines behind it; In other words, the machine that was supposed to appear behind it.

She couldn't tell how many machines the broken pieces in front of her actually were; Yu Yuan was obviously very careful during the destruction process. Wherever she looked, she couldn't see a single intact wire or piece of machinery. There was no chip board that broke into at least two halves. A mountain-like pile of broken pieces reached her thighs.

"It's no use." Yu Yuan was still calm, but his calm at this moment was different from the calm when he was a data body. It was like a tightly stretched piece of cloth, with a smooth surface and every fiber. The fibers were stretched to the extreme. "I destroyed the core of this part. I thought that the production of news, entertainment and educational content would also stop."

"Why didn't you stop?" Lin Sanjiu asked blankly.

"The 'Mayor Aoye' system automatically allocated another part of the computing power responsible for people's livelihood and town affairs to replace the module I destroyed." Yu Yuan explained, "In other words, 'news entertainment and education' It is the most important and priority part of the system. Water, electricity and heating are not as important as this. If I destroy a machine, another machine will give up its original task and take over.

"The most important thing is that although the 'Mayor Aoye' system generates these things, the generated programs are a process of feeding each other."

Lin Sanjiu was too confused to understand: "Feeding each other? What do you mean?"

"The 'Mayor Oye' system is not a mature AI and has no self-awareness. It only acts according to some basic principles. For example, after the gunfire rang out, someone who lived far away asked on the public screen 'Did someone set off fireworks just now?', and then some people with higher status and more powerful words in the town began to come forward and say that they heard that the town was planning celebrations. The 'Mayor Oye' system immediately started The most appropriate explanation was grasped among the various opinions, and the announcement of the celebration was issued. Then, as the townspeople continued to spread the word, the celebration became a 'reality'."

Yu Yuan sighed and laughed - while they were arguing back and forth with the housekeeper, the humming and huge group of machines had been running and working.

"Unless I destroy all the machines in the underground hall... But in that case, as the housekeeper said, the livelihood of the people of Peanut Town will not be guaranteed at all, and chaos, death and injury will be inevitable."

The word "housekeeper" finally stirred up Lin Sanjiu, and she remembered what she was doing back in the underground hall.

Oddly enough, she originally thought that this moment was another "key point", but until she finished talking about the murder of the housekeeper, the key point that made her choose Yu Yuan's behavior did not emerge.

"There is no difference whether the person living in the mayor's house is the mayor, Crown or the housekeeper," Yu Yuan frowned, his expression serious: "Because in fact, the one who maintains the operation of Peanut Town is' Mayor Oye's system, all the citizens of Peanut Town believe in the '17th Generation Mayor'... Judging from Krone's actions tonight ~IndoMTL.com~ he is probably not sure about the existence of the Mayor Oye's system It’s clear as day…”

Lin Sanjiu suddenly raised his head.

"Whoever masters the 'Mayor Oye' system masters Peanuts Town," she murmured, "Krang only needs to be a shadow controller. This means..."

After Krona takes control of the mayor’s mansion, the first place he comes to will be——

When my thoughts turned to this, the footsteps of a group of people and the light collision of machine guns were already pouring down the stairs like a tide; along with the order "here", a series of gunfire rang out immediately, ripples echoed in the underground hall Every wall trapped Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan firmly in the center.

Recently, I discovered that Qidian’s censorship has intensified, and half of a composition I wrote before was deleted. I sometimes wonder, if Doomsday is removed from the shelves one day, will I not have to write the ending...? By the way, the title of today's chapter is very popular. Now I behave like an A-share. Unfortunately, the popularity is also the same as the A-share index, and the popularity cannot rise.
