My portable gaming girlfriend

The real time is 01:26, 5 hours and 24 minutes after the shutdown started.

"Senior Shen Qing, Senior Shi...you are finally back!"

The door opened by the programmer is in a good position, and the landing point is at least 2 kilometers away from where we left. When we flew back to the original place, Ye Yin and the goddess of Mirror Island were waiting for us.

Five hours have passed, and the alternation of day and night in the game that should have progressed over time has not been reflected at all.

"Where's the Omega team?"

"After the captain was thrown into that 'door' by you, they suddenly went offline within a few minutes."

"Infinity also left?"

"Hmm... Although it is very strange, it always reveals its flaws, but occasionally it will reveal the precise operation of an advanced player with extremely precise movements. And he will not feel bored all the time when he is resurrected. I always feel that he is actually The toughest one..."

"It really is 'artificial intelligence for competition'..."

"What is...'artificial intelligence for competition'?"

Ye Yin looked at me suspiciously, and I remembered that I hadn't told him our inference about 'infinity'.

I will tell him briefly about the deduction.

"It's something like that, it sounds a bit powerful..."

"So it's definitely difficult to deal with. It's a fighting machine that grows infinitely."

"How much time do you have to waste?"

The Goddess of Mirror Island interrupts us. She has been waiting for us, and with her personality, she is probably very upset about waiting for so long.

"..."

Ye Yin showed a disgusted expression when she spoke.

He is rarely seen showing anger. By the way, since the goddess of Mirror Island appeared here, he seems to be in a bad mood. Suddenly I realized that these two were the worst combination ever...

"We're exchanging vital intelligence."

Ye Yin didn't look at her, but answered her question again.

——In the game "Mirror Island", Ye Yin was imprisoned by the goddess of Mirror Island. After suffering, even a good-tempered man like him might not be able to face the 'person' who almost killed him.

I really don't know why the 'programmer' sent her here.

"Hurry up, Sakura is still waiting."

I wasted a lot of time in Organ Street, Sakura... don't let anything happen to you.

Although the black mountains can already be seen from a distance, to get to the habitat of the Eight Wild Dragons, you still need to take a special armed airship.

"I didn't finish talking just now, you just happened to be Ye Yin - what do you think of the nameless one?"

Shen Qing hasn't forgotten the topic we were interrupted just now, and picked up the topic as soon as the airship took off.

"Ah, that masked man? I don't understand..."

Ye Yin shook his head.

"I always think he is unusual, very cunning...you have to be careful."

The nameless person does act mysteriously and needs attention, especially when he asked Yugiri whether he had anything to do with the Supreme Science Council. This question made Yugiri directly want to 'silence'. But Shen Qing had no contact with him, why did she notice the nameless person?

"Before that incident, I never thought that the awakened AIs living in the virtual world would have the common sense of the real world."

"whats the matter?"

"Do you still remember that he said that Jiguang's VR headset can collect eye movement data, and this kind of data is often used to judge lying?"

"There is such a thing."

Especially because of this incident, Shen Qing was forced to 'reveal' some kind of secret...

"I asked Techoptic's...researchers. VR helmets do collect eye movement data, but there are two points. The original data will not be uploaded, but another processed data form that is required by the current game is uploaded. This kind of data has nothing to do with eye movement."

Shen Qing paused when she said 'researcher'. It seems that the chairman of Jiguang is also surnamed Shen, and his name is Shen Chuan...

"That is to say, unless he completely controls our VR headset and obtains the data from the source, he can't obtain eye movement data at all just by intercepting information from the Internet?"

"True, but data analysis is done in milliseconds, after which the original data is deleted immediately. And most importantly, I asked a reliable person... and he told me that eye movement data cannot tell whether a person is lie."

"Really? I believed it at that time..."

"Maybe because he knows the real world well, and I couldn't verify this kind of content at the time, so he deceived us."

"Did he lie to you in order to trick you? Then, his problem is true..."

The question asked by the unknown person was about her relationship with Shen Chuan, the chairman of Jiguang.

In combination, you can casually ask the staff of this kind of company, is it true that she, Shen Qing, and Shen Chuan are really related? Relatives?

"If you want to know, just ask me directly. There is no need to cover up your inner guesses and think that no one can see it."

"...Well, I'm just curious, is Shen Chuan you..."

How am I supposed to guess their relationship? Father and daughter? Uncle and nephew? Considering the age difference, it can only be these relationships.

At this moment, it is embarrassing that the mental activity I guessed was discovered by Shen Qing, but she didn't seem to be angry, so I tried to raise the questions I had been asking all along.

"It's my father, although he doesn't want to admit his incompetence at all."

When she said this, there was a bit of disgust and helplessness in her words.

Are they really father and daughter? Shen Qing's father turned out to be the chairman of Jiguang, but it was actually Shen Qing's father, and I remember that Ndia's senior researcher was Shen Qing's brother, named Shen Kong. She is really the eldest lady among young ladies...

"Continue to talk about the nameless person, I guess, his purpose may be the same as ours."

Before I could react, Shen Qing had already changed the topic of the topic back to the unknown person.

"how do you know?"

"I can't prove this perfectly, but according to the experience you described in "Snow Eagle", he once asked you about the purpose of DEBUG, right? He knows a lot about the existence of awakened AI, and Yuri Ann's relationship is also questionable. Julian seems crazy but cunning, at least not like he would team up with a sane person like the unknown. I guess Julian is the kind of 'person' - from the battle I have fun in bullying the weak, but I will choose to surrender temporarily in front of people who are stronger than myself."

I recalled all the words and deeds of Julian, and it was indeed like the kind of person she said, crazy and cunning. Shen Qing can analyze the situation to this point with only one face-to-face meeting and some scattered information from me. Shen Qing still has some thinking ability. .

"So what does this have to do with the purpose of the Nameless One?"

"Listen to me. How do you think Julian left the game he was originally in? How did the Nameless keep him from doing evil?"

"..."

Totally... can't figure it out.

"Forget it, no matter how much I continue to guide you, it won't help if you don't have a brain. After all, I can't expect you to be at the same level as ordinary humans in terms of comprehension. I will directly express my thoughts-the relationship between the nameless person and Julian, Don't you think it's similar to us and Feifei or the goddess of Mirror Island?"

This guy's words are still so annoying, I can certainly think of this level of conjecture given me time, but I have considered a premise, so I didn't make this conjecture——

"Even if the relationship you said makes sense, both the Nameless One and Julian are awakened AIs."

"Who said that an awakened AI cannot form a team with other similar ones, or in other words, act with the purpose of 'finding another awakened AI'?"

"This... this is..."

I thought of Anorv. This guy's body is unknown, but he does have the ability to absorb other awakened AIs. Isn't that a living example.

"The Nameless One himself is an awakened AI, there is no doubt about it, but why is he looking for an awakened AI? To form a clique?"

"I have no idea about his own purpose, but your last question is correct. Maybe there is an organization behind him-the same as DEBUG."

"Wait a minute, I'll try my best to keep up with your discussion... Should we not only find and extract the awakened AI, but also fight other organizations? Their purpose is the same as ours... Is it to protect the players? In that case, we There's no need to fight..."

Ye Yin asked in a low voice.

"It would be fine if there was no need to fight... But they are awakened AI, I don't believe they would have the idea of ​​'protecting humans'."

"Hey, it's not very realistic to hope that AI can help humans, but it's more meaningful to ask programmers to make more plug-ins for us."

Having said that, the airship has already started to land slowly, our destination - this is the edge of the sealed land has arrived, and the way forward can only rely on walking.

After climbing to a high ground, there is a huge sunken land in front of you, with black water flowing faintly below. And in the middle of this sinking ground, there is a 'high platform' made of rocks.

The four thick chains connecting the high platform and the outside hillside where we are in four directions are our roads leading to the high platform. Wide downhill.

The black-armored Golden Light Dragon, who was supposed to be suspended in this unsolvable stone cage, looking down on the world, now looked downcast and surrendered.

The man standing on the rock in front of him across the canyon, on our side, was so small compared to it. Still, the gigantic octopus behind her and the bony dragon floating above the canyon couldn't be ignored.

"Hehehe~ human beings who are overconfident! You are here to die!"

The octopus made a greasy sound.

"Shut up, you greasy wretched monster! Where's Sakura?"

"Woooooo~ so sad! As for that little cutie, I have already absorbed it~"

Standing on the rock, the woman with long braids turned her head and gave me a sarcastic smile. Are you laughing at me for being late and failing to save my girlfriend?

"What did you say!"

I wish he was lying to me, but I couldn't contain my anger.

He raised the bow in his hand and shot a lightning arrow at Anorv, but she jumped off the rock to avoid the attack.

"Ayuan...!"

Wait a minute...is that Sakura's voice?

"...It's scary here! Help me!"

"Sakura... where are you?"

"Here it is!"

The octopus monster lifted up a tentacle, and the girl wrapped in the front end was Sakura... I breathed a sigh of relief, at least her reaction hadn't been absorbed yet.

He was actually tricked by this dead octopus.

"If it's because of "Bailu~Rain of Love~", then I can tell you to vent your anger! Why don't you just let Sakura go?"

"You are really naive and infatuated...Maybe I just wanted to see you in pain before, but...now we serve the master wholeheartedly. Everything I do is 'we' just to fulfill the duties of the master, So no matter how much you persuade or even exchange it with yourself, it’s useless~”

"Who is your master? What is your duty? Why are you looking for these AIs?!"

"How do I know? If I say that even the master doesn't know the reason...would you believe it?"

She answered me straight back.

"Of course I don't believe it."

If she doesn't even know her own purpose, then why is her so-called master trying so hard to find these awakened AIs? If there is a cause, there must be an effect. Regardless of whether it is a human being or an AI behind it, there must be a reason for it to find and awaken the AI. .

"...It seems that you will not let it go. Although you are not my enemy, I can't let you hinder the master from completing his mission."

"It seems that you will not let go of Sakura, right? There is no way, no reason makes sense...Only fighting is the only truth."

Shen Qing and Ye Yin have already drawn out their weapons, while the goddess of Mirror Island... I saw that she summoned more than a dozen weapons, which slowly revolved around her.

"Although I want to remind you not to be too ostentatious, but... since the opponent is not a human player, you can use magic to your heart's content."

"Don't speak to me in an orderly tone. Raiden—"

I saw her body flying in the air, her white skirt flying, and several arcs of light appeared out of thin air in front of her fingers. The target of the attack this time was Anorv.
