"Hello, Dr. Möbius, I am number 17. It's a pleasant surprise to meet you here—々〃—"
"—But I don't understand why you would choose this suicidal act."
If you listen carefully, you'll find that it sounds like a duck.
"Suicide?" The snake let out a string of silvery laughter:
"Really? In your opinion, this is an act of suicide."
Prometheus: "According to my preliminary calculations, your life functions will completely cease in approximately half an hour, now that the [End] has begun to operate."
"...More or less," Möbius said nonchalantly. "However, this also applies to your body, Prometheus."
Prometheus: "I am number 17."
The robotic doll stubbornly insists on this point.
She doesn't like her name being the same as other people's.
Especially that self-deluded No. 0, or No. 16 who was manufactured in the same batch as her.
……
The above text and dialogue had a profound impact on the players.
The number 17 that Kevin mentioned earlier turned out to be an artificial intelligence.
And the snake is actually alive?! And alive to this day?!
Although we learned from the account on the 17th that the snake probably only had half an hour left to live.
but……
This is undoubtedly a huge surprise for players who are currently watching the story.
Suddenly, they remembered the memories that Theresa had seen before.
In that memory, Snake once said—
She wanted to horrify herself to the point of death...
With this in mind, the audience's anticipation was immediately heightened.
Moreover, what Mebius said next left the players even more dumbfounded.
"Alright, Prometheus."
Instead of worrying about my "adventures," you should worry more about the "plans" you're about to execute.
"After all, you're going to follow the path paved by that woman... Alicia, and accomplish something completely opposite to hers, yet equally remarkable."
"You will become the [Trojan horse program] that humanity throws to the other side of the imaginary number, imposing a shackle called [thought] on the Honkai we know, and steering natural disasters onto a man-made track."
"Do you know what this actually means?"
Prometheus answered bluntly, "I will no longer be able to simulate human thought."
Möbius scoffed, "Ha~ that's quite a nonchalant answer."
"On this path connecting this planet to the imaginary space, the invasion you are about to unleash will give birth to countless parallel [consciousnesses]—which Mei calls the [imaginary renormalization group]."
"Their very existence can solidify the laws governing the occurrence of [Honkai], allowing the Herrscher's power to remain as unchanged as possible across all reflections."
"In other words, you will become the greatest contributor to the fight against the Honkai in the next era—because the Herrschers they will encounter in the future, starting with the Herrscher of Reason, will all be no different from our history."
"However, as a price... your own consciousness will also become one of them, and thus be mercilessly swallowed up by them—unless the only [backdoor] is awakened by someone in the right way."
"But that awakening also means the death of you, and even the entire [Reorganization Group]."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Prometheus finally spoke, "It doesn't matter."
"I never expected to truly possess human thinking."
"Since it's a false construct—discarding it doesn't cause me so much pain."
"..."
Möbius: "Compared to that number 0, you really make me angry in this respect, number 17."
You should listen to snakes in reverse.
When she said that, it meant that she actually cared about number 17.
Even if she is just an artificial intelligence.
"However... well, this is indeed a kind of 'infinite' that only belongs to you (the money).
Upon hearing this, Prometheus originally intended to reply.
But before the words could be spoken, an all-consuming darkness descended upon the two of them.
"Alright, this should be the time for us to say goodbye."
"Say goodbye to this world, Prometheus."
“...I am number 17,” Prometheus emphasized again.
"I know, but compared to cold, hard numbers, or the sensational [Honkai Consciousness]..."
"...I'd prefer you to have a human name, you know."
…………
The audience was completely stunned after watching this conversation.
The amount of information contained in this is enormous.
The Will of Honkai... is actually an artificial intelligence...
It was a "Trojan horse program" implanted in the Honkai by the previous civilization to ensure consistency among future Herrschers!
Chapter 455 The Beginning and End of the Moon
In the first half of the dialogue, players thought that Snake had lived into the modern era.
But the subsequent dialogue made it clear to the player that this was just a conversation that took place in a previous civilization.
However, players will be surprised to find that when they connect this dialogue with the plot.
Everything was so amazing.
What else can I say? I can only say awesome...
In other words, the Honkai will that had been hidden for so long was actually just an artificial intelligence implanted by a previous civilization!!
In other words, the Honkai originally had no consciousness, but Prometheus's hacking gave it consciousness?
Yes, but the ultimate purpose of implanting Prometheus was to turn a closed-book exam into an open-book exam.
This is why the Herrschers of this generation are exactly the same as those of the Herrschers of the previous civilization.
This is why, even though Kevin could postpone the arrival of the end, he chose to face it in order to prevent the open-book exam from becoming a closed-book exam.
Another key point is that Prometheus was able to successfully hack into the Honkai because Alicia's return to the Honkai paved the way.
So, the topic has come back to Alicia, right? QAQ
【Airi... Waaaaah... Airi...】
…………
Of course, besides these, some astute players also discovered a key word in Mebius's mention of 823—backdoor.
The storyline of "Paradise After Life" hasn't been over for very long.
Therefore, these players have very clear memories.
The term "back door" is mentioned many times in the book "Paradise Afterlife".
However, although these players had doubts, they didn't think too deeply about it.
After all, one is a "backdoor" proposed by memory, while the other is a "backdoor" in reality.
The most crucial thing right now is what happens next in the plot.
After calming down for a while, Duck continued to advance the plot.
She scrolled through the remaining levels and found that there were only a few levels left to choose from.
In other words, this live stream is coming to an end.
Originally, she couldn't wait to end the live stream immediately.
But having experienced the immersive storyline so far, I'm really looking forward to what happens next.
As the story was about to end, she felt a little unsatisfied.
The audience naturally noticed that Duck was flipping through the later levels.
Immediately, the live chat erupted in another wave of groans.
