Chapter 211 NO.00d2: Judgment (Part 2)
Everyone who appeared at the trial, except Jiang Zhou and Hecate, were all adjusters of depth 4 and above. With their "hardware" specifications, overclocking the mind ten times in just over a minute will not have any irreparable impact on their mental index.
Even if it does, Jiang Zhou doesn't care at this moment.
If it weren't for the anger that was driving him like sparks swaying in the cold wind, even this judgment would not exist.
Jiang Zhou did not have enough motivation to accomplish anything - the human brain generates millions of random stimuli every minute and every second, but only a very small part will spread to the entire brain area and become one. A command that drives the body.
At this moment, Jiang Zhou's own will is just a slight "potential change" to his current "self". If you want to use today's huge "body" functions to kill these people, you must follow Hecate's certification process-pass a series of more standardized verifications before you can mobilize your killing authority.
It is for this reason that the current trial has taken place.
"Being entangled in the flaws of this incomplete system of language is called paradox. Now, the judgment can begin."
Looking across the people in the trial court, "Paradox" spoke.
At this time, he was neither Jiang Zhou nor Hecate, but a new system formed by the entanglement of the two.
Neither "Jiangzhou" nor "Hecate" can be used to refer to oneself here and now.
Therefore, he chose the codename "Paradox" to introduce himself.
After his words fell, a ghost that had lost its legs and face floated forward. It first bowed respectfully to the two people in the altar-like courtroom, and then said:
"The great goddess who knows all paths, herds the dead and the hounds, and has glory in the sky, the earth and the sea, has given me a separate domain name as a reward, and has ordered me to preside over this judgment. Until I am named, you may call me I am 'Anonymous'. Please remember that this is before the throne of the gods. Do not act disrespectfully or try to deceive."
After hearing this, Perseus 1 and Christie were experienced abyss wanderers who had dealt with high-depth darknet AI. Naturally, it is clear that in the current situation, it is best not to act rashly.
But the three people in Wolfsbane's army did not have this awareness. They exchanged information with each other, then turned around and took off. They set off the smoke screen while quickly trying to escape from this strange place.
Although they were already scarred in the basic reality, in the abyss dark network, their substitute program was able to fully exert its due power - this absurd idea gave them the confidence to escape.
"Oooh ooh!"
However, before they could escape five meters away, the three hounds guarding the door flashed behind them and opened its three huge mouths at the same time.
There is no way to dodge - because this is not a direct attack on their model, but on the data code. These three Depth 4 Adjusters, whose upgrade paths were to Cerberus, had their throats bitten by the three heads of Cerberus, and were dragged back to the dock.
"The first time was just a warning."
Anonymous said this, and then nodded towards the three-headed dog. The other party released his teeth and returned to the door of the trial court amid a burst of phosphorus fire and mist.
Anonymous's shameless face turned to them and said:
"Next time I won't be so lucky."
The three members of the Wolfsbane team lay on the ground, and a rare groan of pain came from the loudspeaker - they were completely transformed by prosthetics except for their brains, and they should not even have a trachea. But at this moment, under the opponent's bite, he felt that his throat was making a sound like a whistle, and blood was spraying everywhere.
It was also at this time that they realized that although this was the Abyss Dark Web, it was not the public domain where the base construction program took effect, but the divine domain built by the being named "Paradox" on the stage.
Here, one's own life and death are just a matter of the other person's thoughts.
It was like facing the board of directors in Tartarus.
The legless and faceless ghost once again emphasized to them the basic discipline of the scene, and then began to read:
"With the blessing of the Goddess of the Dark Moon and the will of Mr. Paradox, we gather today in Stex's domain to convene this trial for the death of a mortal - the deceased was named Liao Qi, the son of the Nord settlement, was intertwined with Mr. Paradox through ■■■■■, once walked on the path of Icarus, and eventually died of despicable murder. "
After saying that, it looked up at Paradox on the stage, who nodded slightly.
"For this reason, Mr. Paradox does not intend to let the murderer go, nor does he intend to fail his efforts before his death."
Sitting in the dock now were the last three members of the Wolfsbane team, Perseus One, and a crystal ball filled with mist.
Christie and Booker were on the witness stand.
"One of you has been convicted - the crimes he has committed are immeasurable, so he will suffer a punishment far beyond all of your imagination. He will be escorted first, waiting for his own endless hell."
Anonymous continued.
As he spoke, the crystal ball that was placed on the dock and was initially thought to be a decoration by others disappeared.
The disappeared crystal ball appeared in Jiang Zhou's hand. He looked at Ye Qian who was lost in it and frantically looking for an exit. He didn't say much, but just put it away.
"The next ones to be judged are the hounds raised by Pluto. The pathetic and absurd people who wear black armor, hide fire and wolf poison, and spread destruction and deterrence."
As the anonymous read out, the tall bodies of Wutou-1, Wutou-7 and Wutou-9 stood up uncontrollably - as if they were lifted up by invisible hands.
"Can you admit the crimes you have committed?"
The anonymous looked at them and asked.
"Wait...wait a minute."
The moment he stood up, Wutou-9 struggled and said:
"When did we murder that guy named Liao Qi? It was clearly him who forced himself to install a prosthesis that he could not bear, so he fell into cyberpsychosis and ran to kill us alone, right?
"He killed all the members of the Wolf Poison Team and only three people were left. You still say that we murdered him? You can't be so unreasonable in this trial, right?"
The second half of the sentence was shouted by Wutou-9 to "Paradox" on the stage.
"Paradox" did not respond, and "Anonymous" seemed to have expected this and turned to look at Booker in the witness stand.
It asked:
"Then, as the last person to see Liao Qi in his life, Mr. Booker Erwin, I would like to ask why Liao Qi wanted to hunt down the Wolf Poison Team?"
"Because the people of the Wolf Poison Team killed Liao Qi's mother."
Booker replied calmly:
"In human society, blood revenge is the most basic law, and he has that power. "
Hearing this, Wutou-1, who had been silent before, spoke up:
"But he has no right to use the lives of millions of people in the entire Nord resettlement area as a threat to bury his mother and himself. This has far exceeded the scope of blood revenge. Under this premise, we are just forcing out an antisocial lunatic in advance. "
He looked at Booker and continued:
"And you are the accomplice of that lunatic. Speaking of killing sins, you and Liao Qi have shouldered much more than us. "
But Booker was still calm about this. He looked directly at the other party and said:
"I accept your accusation, but this is the only resistance we can make when we try our best to face such a behemoth as the company. It is also the truth that Liao Qi has taught me with all his strength: Don't give up resistance because of the powerlessness of resistance. Whether it is coercing ordinary people or being antisocial, I am willing to accept the outcome of my failure, but I cannot accept that I do nothing - if I am to be judged for this, I am willing to bear any deserved punishment for it.
"But do you dare to say that?"
The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense, and at this time, Christie on the side said:
"Dear Mr. Paradox, please allow me to interrupt here. I am the manager of Pluto Deep Dive Company and the main person in charge of the acquisition of underground assets in the Nord resettlement area. Before coming here, I have repeatedly emphasized to the members of the Wolf Poison Force that it is not allowed to harass the members of the Ikaros Liberation Front. Although it is not for the purpose of building a utopia, even for my own interests, I also intend to improve the mental stability of the residents here."
As she said, she bowed her head to apologize to Paradox:
"But I still overestimated the moral bottom line of them and the people behind them... It seems that compared to the era when I was asleep, the moral standards of this society have regressed alarmingly."
The three people of the Wolf Poison Force heard this and their hearts were shaken instantly.
What the hell? Even if there are different factions within the company, they are still a company after all?
How can it be sold so quickly?
But Christie's next words made them feel a chill in their hearts.
"It was my negligence that caused the death of your followers. I am ashamed to be standing in the witness box to participate in this trial. I hope you can finally sentence these murderers to the maximum. Considering that you are in the Abyss Dark Web, your ability to interfere with the underlying reality may be limited. I will use my influence to calm down all the political impacts on the Nord Resettlement Area that will be triggered in the future."
She...she just slid to her knees?
Also, Liao Qi is the follower of the god named "Paradox" in front of him?
What the hell is this?
"You...you..."
Wutou-1 pointed at Christie and didn't know what to say for a while.
"What do you mean by me? The purpose of choosing the Nord Resettlement Area is probably because of that kid, and you messed up my business. Do I have to say a few good words for you?"
Christie said coldly.
Even if she didn't say that she wanted to repay Liao Qi for saving her, she did so much just to get in touch with the artificial intelligence "Paradox" from the ultra-abyss layer. As a result, because of this group of idiots and the way they established a relationship, she almost ended up in the dock.
At this moment, Christie had made up her mind that even if Paradox let them go, she would grind these dogs raised by the board of directors to dust.
[Ms. Christie]
Through the encrypted line of Pluto Deep Dive, Aconitum-1 Road.
[Our previous actions were all to execute the will of the board of directors. If we die like this, it's okay, but your actions will definitely be known to the board of directors afterwards]
[You know, the three directors Minos, Aiacos, and Radamanthys are all paying attention to the Nord resettlement area. Now they may descend to the underground of the Nord resettlement area at any time, murder His horse, and expel the dark web AI who calls himself "Paradox". You openly defy their will, I think...]
Before he finished speaking, the anonymous person interrupted:
"Mr. 'Paradox', Aconitum-1 said three names, Minos, Aiacos, and Radamanthys. All three of them are directors of Pluto Deep Dive, but now they are in the high walls of Tartarus and cannot be brought to this trial."
Pluto Deep Dive's encrypted channel is like a goldfish in a fish tank, with nowhere to hide for the existence on the stage.
"It doesn't matter, I will find them in the future. And..."
Paradox said.
Then He glanced at Hecate beside him, who nodded to Him.
"The network environment is stable, no problem."
She said.
Paradox also nodded and continued:
"And, although it is only a clone, one of them is present, isn't it?"
As the voice fell, a distorted mosaic flashed in the dock.
It was a distorted human figure with a body like a thorn bush, which made people feel painful.
Although there was no human face, everyone present seemed to feel his confused emotions.
"Director Aakos wants to download the base reality impact factor of the Nord resettlement area, and he is also the last member present at this trial."
"Anonymous" introduced to everyone present;
"As the final defendant, he is present to accept the verdict and trial."
