Chapter 300 Help
From the perspective of the human race and psionic cultivators, Lan Yi, as a Class A civilizationist, would naturally side with the human race without any thought.

This is a very simple way of thinking.

For example, a boss might scold his foolish son, saying, "I'd rather give all the family fortune to an outsider than leave it to a fool like you." Just listen to this and move on. If you take it seriously, you're really treating the boss like an idiot. No matter how foolish or wasteful the son is, the boss won't give the family fortune to an outsider, even if that outsider is a high-level employee.

In Lan Yi's eyes.

Silicon is like a high-level employee.

No matter how much he values ​​civilization, he would not support outsiders dividing up the human race's property.

But the problems of megastructures are not so simple.

First of all, humanity in this world has died out. In the virtual layer, the minds that have been dismembered and manipulated by AI in virtual lives are still debatable as to whether they can be considered human. It's like in the 21st century, people call their virtual wives "paper dolls," but in essence, they are still playing with electronic prostitutes. They have no human rights whatsoever.

Not to mention the diverse and ever-changing characters in various comics.

Secondly, that is.

Silicon is actually considered to be within the scope of the human species. Although it may seem to have no relation to humans on the surface, the variable information of humans is still very distinct in terms of quantum information and life information. Unless it goes through several hundred generations of iteration, in the eyes of the forces that dominate the artificial god realm, this is still human.

Therefore, Old Demon Blue doesn't really want to interfere with the evolution of civilization in the megastructure world.

to be honest.

In such an extremely dangerous world, having obtained the [Silver Illusion], there's a high probability that I won't set foot there a second time. There's no reason to risk my life for it. Ultimately, it's up to humanity to find a way out on their own.

You may try to avoid cause and effect, but fate will bring them to you on their own.

Mortals are afraid of consequences, Bodhisattvas are afraid of causes.

Lan Laomo is now facing such a cause and effect, although according to the feedback from quantum senses, this cause and effect is not the ultimate cause and effect of this artificial god realm, but if he really gets involved...

Heh, given the level of power in this world.

It might actually get involved in the main world.

Faced with the skeleton's request, the old demon Lan's first reaction was to refuse. From the current perspective, the angel silicon object was a side quest, which would not be of any benefit to him who was exploring the main storyline (related to the Divine Fate Cluster, the gray flesh block in the virtual layer), and might even cause him a lot of trouble.

However, Lan Yi quickly changed his mind.

Although I have broken free from the virtual layer, I still cannot bypass the virtual layer to communicate with others, share intelligence, or even carry out any major actions.

Blue Old Demon was sent to the real world by Apocalypse as a temporary worker.

Ashamed to say it.

To date, no suitable method has been found for free access to the virtual layer.

The central AI is bound by basic rules, but it's not stupid. Lan Yi and other stowaways ran back to the real world and wanted to freely enter and exit the virtual world. It would be a lie to not set up obstacles for these petty and stubborn AIs.

not to mention.

The Blue Demon's "family" has had a strange interaction with the Undead Cataclysm, causing the Gray Flesh, a monster specifically designed to deal with thinking entities and AI, to begin rampaging. The Central AI is dealing with the Abyss AI while also calculating the exponential expansion of the Gray Flesh. If the Blue Demon doesn't improve his reputation, he'll probably face retaliation from the real world soon.

Figured this out.

Faced with Mukuro's request and the fact that Mukuro's identity needed to be investigated, Lan Yi chose to grant his request.

In gaming terms, to avoid a significant increase in the difficulty of the main quest later on, player Lan Yi accepted a side quest from NPC Hai. The quest involved killing the silicon creature that had devoured its team members, and physically destroying or imprinting a new mind imprint on the silicon angel that had broken free of its steel seal.

Apart from the skeleton.

The Holy Spirit is also relentlessly pursuing the silicon angels.

“...I think I understand now. You should actually be considered private soldiers of humanity from the old era.”

Within a section resembling a giant flood discharge channel, Lan Yi, floating forward, used electromagnetic force to envelop Hai, carrying it through subsonic flight.

Ahead of them were devoted, obsequious sycophants.

In the darkness, the lights on the mechanical tentacles of the autonomous squid flicker back and forth, easily reminding one of fish in the deep sea that use lights to lure prey.

They are still inside the megastructure.

Or rather, it has always been inside the megastructure, but compared to the voids that are tens of kilometers wide, the area it is currently in consists of large blocks of metal, several kilometers thick, interlocked and assembled. Flying in such an environment is, in a sense, not much different from drifting in the deep sea.

"Private soldiers, this term is very clever and very apt in the current situation."

After getting a ride, Mukuro became noticeably more talkative, no longer the kind of person who might not utter a single word for over a decade.

This is not a joke.

Unlike Lan Yi, a fresh outsider, Hai, who has been wandering in the real world for tens of thousands of years, would not have spoken for more than ten years. In the desolate environment of the real world, it is normal for him not to have any verbal communication with other beings for hundreds of years!
“I am a private soldier of the old-time humanity, a Holy Spirit, not a human, a central AI, who is trying to deconstruct my authority. I have always refused their excessive contact.”

"Your black cube is nice, can I borrow it to play with?"

"..."

After all, Hai is a machine and cannot understand Lan Yi's sense of humor as a human being.

Old Demon Lan frowned slightly halfway through his joke.

"You just said you've been tracking that silicon object here for over three hundred years. In those three hundred years, have you ever seen this thing?"

Don't know when it started.

Flying at subsonic speeds, they inadvertently made a few turns and were led by the autonomous squid to a place that resembled a temple. It was hard to imagine that a temple existed within this dark, sunless underground structure, and that its inner iron walls were engraved with numerous…faces!
Pale white, evil, mechanical, ferocious, enormous.

The faces of silicon materials stand upright on the iron wall, forming a long, strip-shaped structure on both sides. The sheer number of faces is so great that it seems to stretch endlessly, easily giving one a sense of being surrounded and looked down upon.

"I've never been here before."

"This might be some kind of ruin..."

"Correction: This is not a ruin."

The skeleton raised the black cube floating in its hand, and through the bright light created by the cube, its fingers stretched out for tens of meters, spraying and inspecting one side of the temple.

"The wall faces were carved out sixteen years ago; this place is very young."

"I don't know if we're young or not, but I do know that if we don't do something, they might eat us alive."

Lan Yi noticed that many masks, as if suddenly brought to life, wriggled out from both sides of the wall like long snakes, silently sweeping towards their location from the depths of darkness like a tidal wave!
