Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 496 [Authority!

Zero City.

Part of the world's initial template.

In this way, let Chen Xiaolian's heart go wild!

And he thought about it, and he said, “So you're Zero City's master program? Are you…… a life? Self-conscious life? ”

“No, I'm just a program.” Answer calmly: “I have no self-will, I submit only to the highest authority holder, responsible for calculating, answering, and running. ”

Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “So... what's the matter now? ”

“I run automatically according to the general mode with the highest permissions empty.” Zero City answered very bluntly and could not hear any tone: "Now, when higher permissions are found, the general mode is automatically terminated. ”

Chen Xiaocai thought, “General mode… can I understand, like automated driving cruise mode of a car? ”

“This is understandable. ”

“So, higher authority, you... won't say it's me, will you? ”

“It's you." Zero City's answer creeps Chen Xiaolei out: “When I find a higher permissions template, I will automatically access the template and run it according to the will of the higher permissions, while general mode aborts and awaits instructions for higher permissions. ”

Conventional mode aborted... Chen Xiaolian tasted the word carefully and then suddenly asked aloud: “I am in Zero City, the room is powered off, all energy is shut off, and locked in the room, ventilation is also broken, these are all...”

“All General Mode aborted, I stopped working in General Mode.” Zero City's answer was clear.

Chen Xiaoliang sucked in a cold breath of air.

He realized that this time… things had gotten bigger!

He is certain that the fear of cutting off energy is not just his own room, but...

The whole Zero City!

If that's the case, it's really big!

And he thought about it, and he asked carefully, "So what's going on? I'm the higher authority you're talking about? So, am I... able to give you instructions? ”

After a few seconds of silence, Zero City answered to make Chen Xiaoliang a little crazy.

“The first question, in the present situation, I am in a pause state, after the general mode is aborted, cancel all running work and go into a dormant state.

The second question is, you do meet the template criteria for higher permissions.

Question number three, you can't give me directives yet. ”

Chen Xiaocai rubbed his eyebrows: “Can you... please be more detailed, this information is a bit large, I can't digest it at once. What do you mean I meet higher authority template standards, but I can't give you directives yet? ”

“Because you are a higher authority, but not the highest authority. ”

“… I don't understand!” Chen Xiaolian was annoyed.

“The highest authority belongs to my creator.” Zero City replied: "Yet you are not. ”

Chen Xiaoliang thought about it: “Who is the creator…? Development Group?”

“Based on your memory reading, the term development group stands for, qualifies, so yes, the highest authority belongs to the development group, which is to create my existence. ”

Chen Xiaolian was silent in his heart.

Indeed, Zero City…… was also created by the development team.

So a few times before that, the information I got from Mr. Umbrella, basically came up with a clue:

Mr. Umbrella, the loopholes, stole part of the world's master program, which they seized, controlled, exploited, and built Zero City.

In other words, Zero City was originally part of this world master program and was created by the development team.

It's like a small piece cut out of a big cake.

“So… what exactly happened? The highest authority, and I..."

Zero City's tone is still so moody: "The highest permissions have been locked and the ports destroyed and cut off, so the highest permissions are indefinitely vacant, and currently all I can identify are relatively high permissions, and you meet this condition. You match my secondary creator template. ”

“Subcreator… you mean the founder of Zero City?” Chen Xiaolian's heart beat wildly.

He realized that he… may have really touched the answers to some questions this time!

The creator of the program is the Development Group.

But the creators of Zero City are Mr. Umbrella's people.

“The answer to your question is yes.” Zero City answers at a glance: "The founder of Zero City, has the same template as you, and the same template is recognized by me as a sub-premium permission. And by your time standards, for a long time now, sub high authority hasn't issued any instructions to me. So according to the initial program, I go into the regular automatic working mode, and when I recognize your template, according to the program, I automatically turn off the regular mode and go into the dormant standby state… this is generally the case. ”

After a careful taste of these words, Chen Xiaolian said: "So, shouldn't I do something now? ”

“You have obtained some permissions, but are unable to issue commands that are too important to me. ”

“Like what? ”

“For example, asking me to enter a working state, or running a mode, these instructions temporarily do not give you permission. But... some of the permissions you've already got. ”

Chen Xiaolian moved in his heart: “Like what? ”

“Like the thoughts you're thinking about right now.” Zero City's voice just dropped.

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoliang felt his body fall from space!

The velocity of this fall made him feel as if he had only seen a glimmer of light before his eyes and then suddenly fell to the surface of a planet.

When he fixed his eyes, the surrounding high mountain streams of water and the fog in the distance became cloudy.

And he stood on a flat hilltop, in an ancient pavilion, in front of a square table, on one side softly.

Chen Xiaolei stunned for a moment and walked over unconsciously. He saw the chessboard on the table and the hot cup of tea. There was also a small stove next to it, and a red mud pot on it was pouring hot air.

Chen Xiaocai was shocked: “This is...”

“This is the scene I read from your consciousness that you portrayed and burned in your consciousness.” Zero City replied: "According to your consciousness, the scene you like in your heart is a priority. So I helped you copy it out. ”

Chen Xiaocai's expression shocked him, slowly lowered his head, but found the clothes on his body, not knowing when it had turned into a white long shirt, the clothes drifted, touched the head, also like an ancient man with a haircut.

Long shirt, white like snow, independent hilltop, lonely pavilion, chessboard, teapot...

This scene is what Chen Xiaoliang has been fantasizing about since he first read Wuxia novels!

“Looks like we're just one side away from Guqin... hmm?! ”

Chen Xiaolian spoke to herself and saw the square table in front of her. I don't know when there will be one more Guqin!

Chen Xiaocao stayed for a while, sat down and pressed his hands against the strings.

After gently touching the string with his fingers, the string made a dragon chant, and the low voice made Chen Xiaolian's heart tremble.

Naturally, he can't play the ancient qin, but at this moment, as his fingers flutter freely on the strings, the ancient qin makes a sound of a joyous ear...

“What is this?”

Chen Xiaolian retracted his hand.

“is also automatically generated based on your consciousness.” Zero City replied.

“...” Chen Xiaoliang suddenly stood up: “Okay, take these off. You've shocked me enough. ”

Shh, the scene in front of you disappears completely.

The ancient pavilion, the square table, the tea tray, the chessboard, the ancient qin… everything is gone.

Chen Xiaocai found himself standing on a void earth, surrounded by 360 degrees of gaze, seemingly infinite voidness, also on the top of his head.

The foot, on the other hand, is a dead white floor, flat, with no gaps, as smooth as a mirror.

“This is a minimalist model.” Zero City's voice rang out: “Meets the criteria in your mind. ”

“Okay.” Chen Xiaoliang sighed: “Will you stop reading my consciousness? ”

“This requirement cannot be fulfilled.” Zero City's answer surprised Chen Xiaocai a little: “Since the moment you entered, your consciousness has blended in, so now, it can be said, I can see all your consciousness, regardless of each other. ”

“This is so... unfair.” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “I can't read your consciousness. ”

“It's a protective mechanism for you.” Zero City replied: "I have too many computing nodes in my consciousness, and your consciousness cannot carry a huge amount of information. Once docked, your consciousness is completely crushed and you lose your self will. ”

“... forget it.” Chen Xiaocai picked out his eyebrows: “Now may I ask you a few questions? For example, what do I need to do now? ”

“What needs to be done depends on your goals and on the motivation of your goals.” Zero City Slow Trail: “Based on reading your consciousness, what you need to do now is to find answers to some of the questions that exist in your consciousness. ”

“... so don't ask me, you know what I want to ask, right? ”

“Yes.”

“So… just answer. ”

“Yes." Zero City's unscented voice seemed to pause and began to say:

“At one of your so-called time nodes, one thing happened, and I was cut out of the main world and turned into a separate program, and then someone completely disconnected and damaged the connection port between me and the main world, and this was tantamount to closing the maximum permissions on me, which in a sense no longer existed for me, because, according to my calculations and judgments, the possibility of reconnecting the ports was unlimited, so the maximum permissions no longer made sense.

The existence that splits me apart, has the authority to issue instructions to me, to control me and to operate. I call it, subhigh privilege.

Based on the question in your mind, how they cut me and how they got sub permissions, this question has been removed by sub permissions, so it will not be answered. ”

Chen Xiaocai rolled his eyes.

Mr. Umbrella, they... actually...

“I was converted into a separate program by the sub-high authority and simulated most of the functionality of the main world program, building a Zero City, named ‘Refuge’ according to the designation of the sub-high authority. That was my first name.

Since the establishment of the Refuge, there have been seven persons with subordinate authority.

According to the reading of your conscious memory, one of them, named ‘Mr. Umbrella’ and ‘Yi’ in your memory, meets the criteria and is judged to be one of the sub-high-privileged. ”

Chen Xiaoliang was impressed!

Mr. Umbrella, one of the founders of Zero City!

“In addition, the information of six sub-privileged persons will not be made public, as the information has been deleted. ”

“Delete? Who did it?” Chen Xiaolian stared.

“The last person to delete the message was Mr. Umbrella. ”

Shit... Chen Xiaocai rolled his eyes again.

“Why delete? ”

“There is no reserve of answers to this question. ”

“…” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “If I didn't ask, you go on. ”

“After a certain time node, the sub-high authority silences… silence means that instructions are no longer issued to me for a long time.

And the last person who gave me instructions was Mr. Umbrella, who deleted some information and switched me to automatic general mode.

Thereafter, all sub-high-privileged persons enter silence until you appear. ”

Chen Xiaocai was silent... then didn't wait until Zero City for a few seconds to continue talking, he couldn't help but ask: “Are we done? ”

“Finished. ”

“Is that all?” Chen Xiaolian couldn't help but freak out: “I've guessed most of these things myself! No more valuable information or clues? ”

“… Yes, Mr. Umbrella ended up leaving a voice marked as readable only by those with subordinate authority. ”

“… read!” Chen Xiaoliang did not hesitate, but after saying it, he was somewhat worried: “I... can you read it? ”

“Cannot read.” Zero City's answer made Chen Xiaocai want to split someone with a knife on the spot!

“… you!” Chen Xiaoliang withstood the urge to curse people.

Zero City's answer is still flashy: “Based on your conscious reading, based on your habits, metaphor: if I am a house, Mr. Umbrella, they are the owners of the house. And you, because the templates are the same, can be compared to relatives of the same blood as the owner, so you are allowed to enter the house.

You can rest in the room, you can open the fridge to eat, you can manipulate some simple home appliances...

But you're just a ‘relative', or a 'guest’.

You are allowed to open the refrigerator, which does not mean that you can open the owner's safe.

This metaphor is consistent with your conscious habits and I hope you understand it. ”

“Understood.” Chen Xiaoliang answered weakly: “This metaphor really fits my habit. ”

After a pause, Chen Xiaocai asked: “Well, I think there must be a way for me to get a second level of authority, right? Now that my template is the same and you approve it, what do I have to do next to get these permissions? ”

“Yes, you need to be screened to get sub permissions. ”

“Then I can read Mr. Umbrella's message? ”

“Not only that, you can get the same authority as Mr. Umbrella and them. I mean, whatever Mr. Umbrella they can ask me to do, you can do it when you get the authority. ”

“What are you waiting for?" What do I need to do? ”

Chen Xiaoliang's heart is heating up!

This is... Zero City's highest authority!!!
