Although he was confused by the mask of Io, Lu Zhengkang was actually very sober. But he felt that he was a little schizophrenic. Part of his personality was a spectator, part of his personality played the role of a priest, and part of his personality was hiding in the depths. It was Lu.

Zhengkang's usual rationality directs his words and deeds in a direction that is beneficial to him.

Up to now, Lu Zhengkang has fallen into similar hallucinations, split thinking, and distorted memories many times.

Slowly I got used to it, and I wasn't scared or worried, just like going home.

He was inexplicably moved by the development of science and technology. From the perspective of an old man born in the 1990s, technological means at the end of the 21st century have undoubtedly reached the level of artificial humans, which has always been the domain of gods in religion.

If we apply Aristotle's ancient philosophical theory, natural pregnancy is when the mother provides the material of flesh and blood, and the father provides the human form, then modern biochemical science can shape the material of flesh and blood, and research on neurology and artificial intelligence can give

The form of thought, the combination of the two constitutes a true artificial human.

Lu Zhengkang can undoubtedly feel the rapid development of virtual reality technology firsthand. Before he traveled through time in his previous life, VR at that time still required most of the body to participate in the interaction. However, by the end of the century, most commands can be completed by just using the brain, just like

It's as natural as having another body in the virtual world.

Then, it is very likely that the virtual world will be eroded by other artificial thinking forms.

To be precise, Lu Zhengkang is not a person now, he is possessed by something else.

So his current state of mind is actually the same as that of an unlucky man possessed by a ghost, in a daze.

The priest talked to the supervisor through the communication crystal, and Lu Zhengkang listened silently.

The supervisor's voice sounded like that of a bookish middle-aged man. There was no sense of retardation, but his words were quite suppressed, "Freeman, you still can't let go of the past."

The priest whispered, "That's because sin has never relaxed its grip on me."

"If we are really going to be convicted of murdering Utra, then the punishment has already come. Look at what we look like now, aren't we already despicable and inhumane?"

Lu Zhengkang waved his hand, "It's understandable that you lost. There's no need to feel sorry for yourself."

The supervisor's eyes narrowed. This action looked extremely dangerous, just like the gaze of a predator before attacking. "Outsiders, I'm afraid you don't understand our pain."

Lu Zhengkang spread his hands, and the mask on his face squirmed, as if there were worms rolling under his skin, "What nonsense are you talking about? I can give you a relief. You tell me how to find Utra and how to get to the base. This is a deal.

You don’t have to sensationalize here.”

"What a rude and heartless guest." The supervisor muttered, "Can you take off Io's mask first? I will always think that Freeman is contradicting me when you wear this."

Lu Zhengkang raised his hand, "Wait a moment." He pulled out Cong Hai tied to his waist, turned the tip of the sword upside down, pierced his cheek, and cut off the mask bit by bit, as if he was tearing off a large piece of dead skin.

The tender flesh inside was stimulated, and he sighed in pain.

"This thing is really harmful." Lu Zhengkang took off the mask and didn't dare to look at it anymore. He just put it into the bag. His luggage was placed in the turquoise shelter. This bag was found separately and has a smaller pocket.

, but there are also seventeen.

"Harming people? It depends on how you use it. If you are good at using Io Mask, it will give you the ability to transform."

"That's good." Lu Zhengkang said politely, but he didn't think much of this mask. Until now, he still felt uncomfortable on his face, as if the mucus left by snails crawled over was itching and cold.

.

The supervisor drifted around the twin trees, "Outsiders, I can give you the key to the base, but I won't let anyone touch the dusty past."

"Then we can't reach an agreement?"

"No, no, no," the supervisor's tone softened, "That's not what I meant. You, the outsider with the sacred antlers, are different from the others I have seen. It is for this reason that I am willing to do what I am doing now.

I would like to meet you in my humble form. Otherwise, we should meet at the Amber Tower. Your coming here is completely beyond my expectation. After all, not all salt people can make it this far.

.”

The Amber Tower is one of the four unblocked towers, and Lu Zhengkang has not yet explored it.

Speaking of which, Mr. Lu has always been curious about the memory issues of these NPCs, "Can you communicate with different parallel time and space? Otherwise, why do you all seem to have seen other people before?"

"That's very simple. You salt descendants have dreams, and so do we. Every time we meet, it's fate." Compared to the secretive priest, this supervisor is much more generous. As long as it doesn't involve the Red City, it doesn't matter.

You can say it. The pastor was embarrassed and tried to smooth things over through the communication crystal: "Ah... this? Isn't it good? Do you really want to say it? No?"

Lu Zhengkang turned off the crystal and the pastor finally stopped talking nonsense.

"I'm curious how you stay sane, can you tell me?"

"That's thanks to the ultimate magic developed by our Salvation Army: the irreplaceable reality. The consumables for this spell are the Stone of Destiny, the brain of the five-color dragon queen, the divine blood of the magic lady, and the spinal cord of the time dragon.

On top of the root magic, the supreme spell that exceeds the ability of the magic network is completed after the spell is cast.

At that moment, the entire multiverse felt the strong vibration. Every sentient creature was delighted and moved by this great magic. Even the supreme beings in the mirror universe applauded and praised it... Alas, too much

It was wonderful. During those days, everyone believed that we could survive the Great Disruption."

Lu Zhengkang couldn't imagine the specific situation, but he could somewhat feel the intense words of the regulator, "It's really good. It's an honor to lose."

"Well, it can't be said to be a complete failure. At least... at least, there are still quite a few people left with minds that can think."

"Better than nothing," Lu Zhengkang nodded, "I met some on the road. I'm sorry for killing them."

"No need to apologize, you bring relief! Outsiders, you are a higher existence than us. Your soul is light. For us, it is such an unattainable thing... We claim to be playing with the heart and soul.

A master who is a master, but can never analyze a soul of light, just like you, who broke away from the shackles of Io Mask so easily."

"I still say the same thing, I can give you relief with the candlelight above my head, but you have to tell me everything about Utra, how she appeared, how she was found by you, and how she was found by you.
