Chapter 27 NO.001b: Return and Trouble

Mandala, a third-generation encryption program developed based on the JZ network protocol, binds the password to the visual cortex signal perception switch and activates verification by visualizing a unique pattern.

At the same time, it is also considered an encryption program that cannot be cracked in any case.

Memories are an ambiguous thing. The picture reconstructed in the mind will never be just a picture. It will also carry your other perceptions, your emotions, your experiences, and the selection of this picture.

reason……

In the process of recalling, countless pieces of information are activated, gathered, compressed, packaged and sorted in the brain, and then undergo a series of Fourier transforms, eventually forming an indescribable feeling, which is presented to self-awareness.

The mandala program is never just a picture - if it is just a picture, it is easy to crack, but when it comes to personal feelings, it returns to the eternal philosophical question: How can you know yourself?

Is the world perceived the same as the world perceived by others?

After all, perception can only recognize appearances, not things themselves.

Which is the first thing you see in Escher's paintings: an angel or a devil?

When you first see the Necker cube, is the diagonal face at the front or at the back?

It can be said that in this era when the power of the corporate order has reached the top of the mountain, it is the Mandala program that holds the entire world in check, preventing it from completely falling into the abyss of the ultimate dystopia, thus safeguarding the last bottom line of every human being.

Even the most insane companies won't ask a person to hand over their mandala. Not because they don't want to, but because they know there's no point in doing so.

Even if you describe your mandala in great detail, and even take the other person to see the original pattern of your mandala in reality, you can't get him to log in to your account.

Unless he is you.

Unless he has the exact same body as you, has experienced the exact same life, and has the exact same memories.

Unless he...

Unless He...

Booker looked at the data flow that was gradually taking shape in the hands of "Paradox" with almost horror, and his mind went blank.

He directly ignored the encryption of the "Mandala Program" and took out the transformation authority sealed in Liao Qi's memory?

If the matter of hacking into a multi-purpose printer was still within the scope of what I could bear, then what happened in front of me was completely challenging my cognitive limits.

No, it directly shattered my own worldview!

"Paradox" can ignore the mandala program and directly take things from Liao Qi's body, then he can directly strip away the transformation authority from his own body.

If it falls into his hands, if the other party has malicious intentions... then death may be just a luxury.

In this place now, under His gaze, the other party is the absolutely real God.

It's so... so scary...

For humans, His existence is really a "paradox"...

Thinking of this, Booker immediately made a difficult decision in his heart.

If the other party shows even a hint of malice toward him, he will directly activate the "apoptosis program" on the brain-computer interface and commit suicide.

This is definitely not an overreaction!

As long as the other party is willing and can ignore the mandala's encryption, he can die and be resurrected countless times in this dark abyss, just like Ixion who is tied to a wheel of fire and tortured forever.

As for Liao Qi, who was innocently implicated... I'm sorry, your mandala has been controlled by the other party, and now I'm afraid it's too late to remind you.

Apologizing silently in his heart, Booker trembled to see what the other party planned to do next.

At this moment, Jiang Zhou, who was sitting in his seat, didn't know that his previous behavior of trying to scare the other party had achieved an effect far beyond expectations - he originally just thought that the act of asking "Liao Qi" to bring something over

It's a bit low, but directly "retrieving objects from the air" on your own side will look more impressive.

I never thought that my behavior almost frightened the person below to the point of committing suicide...

At this moment, he is looking at the depth 1 transformation permission parameters and the materials required to print them.

"Second Chance" Spare Heart…

Carbon nanomuscle fibers…

Bioelectric energy conversion system…

Edge Enhancement System…

Eye tracking cornea…

“Grasshopper” tendon strengthening…

"Crazy" adrenaline pump...

Lactate metabolism accelerating device...

"Balance rod" type strengthens the spine...

…

As these modification permissions were formed one after another, a 3D model with multiple highlights appeared in front of his eyes - the highlighted places were the modified organs.

Jiang Zhou glanced at them one after another, not looking for too long, lest Booker below would become suspicious.

Therefore, he only took a cursory glance at most things. However, for many transformation permissions, he could roughly guess their functions just by looking at their names.

After reading it at a glance, Jiang Zhou took one last look at the depth 4 transformation authority.

Day by day procedure.

This thing doesn't even have an entity. The concrete 3D modeling is just a bunch of constantly changing code, which seems to be just an operating system written into the built-in computer.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou rolled the data into a ball with a wave of his hand, intending to stuff it back into Liao Qi's memory.

At this moment, Booker in the audience spoke.

"Paradox...Sir, what is your purpose in bringing us here this time?"

When he said this, he clenched his teeth, his voice trembled slightly, and his face looked like he was risking everything.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the other party suddenly looked like he was ready to die, nor did he know what kind of reasonable reason he should find.

"Do you really want to go back?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

Booker immediately shut up, and the courage he finally mustered up seemed to be extinguished in an instant.

Liao Qi on the side nodded quickly and said:

"I think about it, I really want to."

Jiang Zhou was amusing himself with the bad jokes of his time that had no meaning. Jiang Zhou suddenly wanted to smile bitterly, but then he restrained himself and replied:

"Then you go back."

"ah?"

Booker, who was almost desperate, thought his auditory nerve was malfunctioning.

This mysterious being who can ignore the mandala program is so easy to talk to?

Then what is the purpose of bringing them both here?

Jiang Zhou, who was sitting upright in his seat, was thinking silently at this moment:

The more you do and the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

What is needed is a lack of understanding of why and what is meant.

Go and doubt life slowly, Booker Irvine is the new leader.

"But...Mr. Paradox, you brought us here, don't you need us to do something for you...or get something from us?"

Booker was immersed in deep self-doubt at this moment. He looked blankly at the human form that was being decomposed and reorganized all the time, and asked in confusion.

"Would you like to do something for me?"

Jiang Zhou asked with a chuckle.

"No... ah, no! I mean, of course! I mean..."

Seeing that the other party was no longer speaking fluently, Jiang Zhou continued to maintain a mysterious image and interrupted the other party:

"You just need to do what you were supposed to do. This time I brought you here for the only purpose."

As for how to understand this "thing that should have been done", that is also Booker's own business.

If he is loyal, he will only be more loyal to Icarus in the future.

If he is a traitor, then he will continue to ponder whether "what he should have done" is loyalty or betrayal. And no matter what, he will be more likely to reveal his flaws in the future.

Although at the moment, I may be able to use this unpredictable image to force the other party to tell whether he is a traitor. However, in doing so, asking such questions would be too detrimental to my own image; secondly, in case the other party is forced into a panic.

If you just jump over the wall and try your best, then you will be completely exposed.

It's better to keep things as they are now, and the future will be long.
To be continued...
