latent syndrome.

Chapter 422 421. Emergence
It was pitch black in front of my eyes, and my head was covered with a sack. I couldn't see anything along the way, only the constant bumps.

Finally Hoshino Manatsu heard the sound of the waves.

It seemed that SCT's transport truck came to the seaside, and the bumps stopped abruptly, and the sound of the cockpit door opening and closing could be heard.

In Joseph's last order.

Hoshino Matsumi has been given a technique that not only surpasses ordinary people in terms of physical fitness and immunity, but also allows the caster to sense her location.

So I want to use this to draw out the last few people who are still threatening, including Colin.

"Let go of me, you scum."

As Hoshino Matsuka shouted, the way the SCT members transferred her became more direct. They just pulled the iron chains that bound her, dragged her out of the back seat of the truck, and dragged her on the ground, scraping her flesh to the ground. Sand and gravel, open scars gushing with blood.

In order not to allow her to communicate with Eugene, they deliberately staggered their positions, and they were all transferred separately.

Afterwards, two loud bangs were heard, as if an extremely heavy iron plate had hit the land.

This is the loading and unloading bridge for transporting ships. The slope is not steep. Under the drag of the SCT members, Hoshino Matsuya was dragged into the cargo hold of the ship.

Immediately afterwards, the loading and unloading bridge slowly retracted, and the hatch closed with a crisp sound.

SCT members take off Matsu Hoshino's hood.

The cargo hold was dark, unable to see, and there was a strong musty smell.

As the SCT members opened the switch, due to the huge space in the cargo compartment, considering the complete lighting, the electric poles were hovered at a certain height with slings to ensure the brightness of the entire space.

Because the design of the waterproof circuit on the ship is complicated, there are certain blocking measures to prevent the short circuit from affecting all the facilities. The cargo compartments are completely bright.

Hoshino Matsuya, who had been in the dark for a long time, was stunned by the strong light and couldn't open her eyes, so she hurriedly covered it with her hands.

After a while, he slowly recovered, opened his eyes and scanned the surrounding environment.

The piles here are all beautifully crafted poultry specimens, all of which are birds. The process of making such specimens is very simple. The internal organs are taken out by dissection, and the contents of the skull need to be removed, soaked in antiseptic substances for half an hour, and taken out. The abdomen is then filled with stuffing, which is then sewn up and wires are inserted into the legs.

Since the eyeballs will also rot, they need to be removed and filled with glass beads to obtain a bird specimen.

And all the specimens piled up here are undoubtedly purely handmade, and they are quite well-made.

"Damn."

"What kind of psychopath's den again?"

Hoshino Manatsu swallowed her throat, she was restricted in her movements like fish on a chopping board, and could only be slaughtered.

If their purpose is to lure Colin, this is a rather bad decision, because Colin itself is extremely dangerous, and there is only one reason for doing this.

They believe that they have... crushing strength.

10 minutes passed.

Still no one came, but the ship had already weighed anchor and started sailing, and the SCT members beside him were just like robots, no matter how much Matsu Hoshino abused them, they were unmoved, and always had a poker face.

Just when Hoshino Matsuwa was about to explode, no matter whether he could break free from the shackles on his body, he had to give it a try.

There were dull footsteps from the door at the end of the cargo hold, and then the door was slowly opened, only partly opened, not fully open, just hovering at about [-] degrees to the door frame.

Strangely enough.

The man didn't intend to come in. He was in the shadow of the passage, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see half of the black officer's uniform under the light.

"Minister, the person has been brought here."

Immediately afterwards, the robot-like SCT members began to paraphrase what Joseph had said earlier.

Hoshino Matsuki took a deep breath.

"Minister is okay, it seems that you are a very important person in SCT."

"What department? The Department of Transportation? Hehe."

Hoshino Matsuya only regrets that she is not as capable as Ke Lin, otherwise she would have killed the person in front of her directly.

The man was not provoked.

"For a long time, I have been in charge of the SCT's outpost department."

"You're not wrong, it's a vacant job now."

"There is no need to call like customer service anymore."

"Speaking of it, so far, it's just about our service to the human world."

"Are you satisfied?"

"It can be regarded as a questionnaire, with a five-point system, how many points can you get?"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs asked this question, but he still hadn't come out of the darkness.

Hoshino Matsuka's expression was so gloomy that she was about to drip water, she didn't understand why these people deliberately wanted to ruin everything.

She did not answer the frivolous questions of the foreign minister.

But the Minister of Foreign Affairs sensed her intentions, and it was necessary to explain the function of the product they were using.

"Do you know starlings?"

"It can be found in these specimens."

"Prompted by some kind of signal that humans can't feel, there seems to be a telepathy between them, and they can combine into countless complex shapes in the sky. Thousands of them participate in this behavior at the same time, and they will not interact with each other. produce a collision."

"That kind of spectacle...is indescribable."

"This is the emergent behavior proposed in complex science. The overall behavior of individuals exceeds the sum of the behaviors that individuals can present. It is unpredictable and cannot be viewed with the reductionism in traditional systems engineering."

"Emerging..."

"The word is important, emerge."

"Bird swarms, bee swarms, neural networks... cellular automata."

Cellular automata is a grid dynamics model in which time, space, and state are all discrete, and spatial interaction and temporal causality are localized. It has the ability to simulate the spatiotemporal evolution of complex systems.

"Individuals only follow simple rules to act. What it looks like at the macro level has no concept at all for a single individual, let alone anticipation or design of the macro."

"The universe, the world, and the natural system are distributed systems, and there is no centralized command center. All things do not have a large and comprehensive command center, but naturally already exist in a self-organizing and management system."

"Deep Realm, Truth, God...it doesn't matter what name you give it."

"Or...the abyss."

"Emerging..."

"It's really interesting, isn't it?"

"It's like the symbolic world of human beings, but it's a man-made concept, but it's a real thing"

"The consciousness, spirit, and soul of all people come from the source of that system."

"Human beings emerge..."

"Endless things to do, things to love, things to think."

"That's what I launched."

"Let everyone reach... the root."

"Most investors have been paid off."

"It's a good run now, cash in, my friend."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs expounded in this way.

Hoshino Manatsu wanted to get angry.

pat...

The Minister of Foreign Affairs threw something out of the darkness and landed in the open space between him and Matsuka Hoshino.

Look carefully.

It was an arm with an ukiyo-e tattoo of waves and carps.
