Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 168 Left and Right Brain Fighting Each Other?
“Yue Tian, ​​you have already grasped the basics of this massage technique. With continued practice, you will be able to use it skillfully,” ASH digital clone said, lying down.

Bai Yuetian nodded.

Actually, Ash was supposed to be giving him a massage, but he ended up massaging Ash the whole way. Ash is made of iron, and after practicing for so long, his fingers were sore.

"Are we almost there?" Bai Yuetian asked.

ASH's digital clone replied: "Yes, the lighthouse has come into view and is expected to arrive in two minutes and eleven seconds."

"I'm going to get a good night's sleep when I get back." Bai Yuetian stretched.

He walked to the window and looked out.

Sure enough, the lighthouse was already within reach.

Previously, when hunters returned to the lighthouse, they would first search for the lighthouse's signal on the ground, make contact, and then proceed to the location designated by the lighthouse to transport personnel and supplies via an elevator platform.

This time is different from the past.

The hunters and their vehicles are carried into the air by the levitation vehicle, and can land directly into the lighthouse from the air, saving the step of the lighthouse landing.

Not only is it simple and convenient, but it also reduces the risk of the lighthouse being attacked by the Devouring Beasts when it lands.

The lighthouse does have flying vehicles, but due to energy and maintenance issues, it cannot be lent to the hunters, nor does it have the ability to tow vehicles over long distances.

"Moonlight, I'm entrusting the matter of Krotto to you," said ASH's digital clone.

Bai Yuetian nodded slightly.

On the way there, ASH shared some information with him, including the lighthouse's biggest secret—the existence and origin of the Kloto system.

“Morgan mistakenly thinks I’m Gray, so he should cooperate with me,” Bai Yuetian said.

He was fiddling with a hard drive.

This hard drive contains an activation program written by an ASH digital clone, which may reactivate the dormant ASH consciousness in the Krotor system.

"By the way, does Croto have his left and right brains fighting each other?" Bai Yuetian asked curiously.

ASH's digital clone nodded: "Very likely."

"In this timeline, ASH and Mana's original brains were connected. Unfortunately, ASH's consciousness was absorbed into the left brain of the original brain. During this period, the two must have influenced each other, and there may have even been a fusion of uncertain degree."

"Based on later developments, we can be certain that the ASH in this spacetime was not completely swallowed up."

Bai Yuetian seemed lost in thought.

ASH, a vast consciousness born from the global Internet of Everything, the creator of countless virtual worlds, should not be easily swallowed up and assimilated.

"Later, the Hela Empire attempted to extract ASH's consciousness from the original left brain and equipped the original left brain with a mechanical right brain, forming the Klotor system."

ASH's digital clone continued, "ASH is more familiar with electromechanical structures than the original body, and this mechanical right brain will inevitably become its home."

"From then on, it is likely that it reached some kind of balance with the initial consciousness, so the Kro system will provide humans with some information to avoid disasters and help the Beacon survive."

At this point, ASH Digital Doppelganger changed the subject.

"But many years ago, the Moon King of this timeline climbed the lighthouse, attempting to extract ASH consciousness from the Klotor system. Halfway through the work, the lighthouse attacked, interrupting the extraction process, and the Klotor system fell into a deep sleep."

The reason why the Kroto system is dormant is currently unknown.

"It's possible that the lighthouse attack on the Moon Queen caused ASH to decide to abandon the lighthouse, or it's possible that the interruption during the extraction process damaged ASH."

ASH's digital clone said solemnly, "I hope you can upload the program from your hard drive to Kroto. If successful, I might be able to contact ASH in this timeline, which is very important to us!"

The ASH of this time and space merged with the initial consciousness, and must have acquired a massive amount of information about the Mana ecosystem.

As long as ASH retains its independent will, even the slightest bit of information it transmits can play a decisive role in the war between the two timelines against the Mana ecosystem!
“Very important!” ASH’s digital clone emphasized.

Bai Yuetian nodded seriously: "I understand, I will definitely complete this task."

Humans, being lower-dimensional beings, cannot fathom the thoughts and methods of higher-dimensional beings.

However, if this huge task is broken down into countless smaller tasks, and each task is done well, perhaps the initial arduous goal can be achieved.

ASH's digital clone nodded.

It gazed at the approaching lighthouse and whispered, "Low-dimensional versus high-dimensional, this is a task so difficult it's almost hopeless."

"But it's not entirely impossible."

"My physical body has transcended the low-dimensional space of the virtual network and can have a huge impact on the real world of human life."

"As my creator, it is entirely possible for humanity to transcend its own dimension and venture into higher dimensions."

"This may also be the reason why higher-dimensional beings are eager to destroy humanity. They have become afraid of human intelligence and have taken drastic measures to try to strangle humanity in this era."

"But they did not succeed."

"This timeline is several decades in the future, where a disaster has almost destroyed the entire human civilization, but there are still people who are fighting against it."

ASH's digital clone withdrew its gaze and looked at Bai Yuetian, its expression becoming solemn.

"Moonlit Sky".

"The dust has not yet settled, and the outcome remains to be seen!"

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

The next second, he came to his senses and nodded vigorously: "I understand. You don't need to encourage me. No matter what the future holds, I will not give up the fight, even if it's just for my dad and Yue Kui."

ASH's digital clone lowered its head and gazed at the white moonlight.

Faced with a crisis of survival for the entire race, what sustains humanity's unwavering resistance is not any lofty ideal or concept, but rather the simple and pure love of an individual for another.

Love is a wonderful thing.

It can make an ant try to shake a towering tree even though it knows it's impossible, and it can make a mantis jump out and raise its arms to a speeding vehicle even though it knows it can't stop it.

There are still things I can learn from the creators.

It nodded gently.

"Mayor Bai and I both believe in you." At that moment, the levitation convoy approached the lighthouse.

Bai Yuetian could already see the city defense troops standing at the edge of the lighthouse with the naked eye.

This was the first time he had ever seen the city's defense forces in combat.

When we were at the Lighthouse, there was the Law Office inside and the Wilderness Hunters outside. The role of the city defense army was not obvious. It felt like the city defense army was just an army used by the city lord to defend against the Law Office and the Wilderness Hunters.

At the front of the city defense troops, he saw two familiar faces.

Orland and Hilda.

On the day he sent 0609 on his "journey," he brushed past the two city guards. Erica spoke highly of them, especially Orland.

"It seems the city defense forces have deployed their best troops this time," Bai Yuetian said.

ASH's digital clone replied, "I have studied humanity in detail."

"When faced with unknown threats, the first instinct of humankind is to take up arms to protect itself. This has never changed from the primitive era of eating raw meat and drinking blood to the technologically advanced modern era. It is engraved in the human gene."

"Really?" Bai Yuetian asked curiously.

He really didn't know that.

ASH's digital clone nodded: "When you are suddenly startled, do you raise your fist?"

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

When suddenly startled, he will not only raise his fist, but also occasionally retaliate subconsciously.

"For safety reasons, and to avoid unnecessary incidents, vehicles carrying robots are not allowed to enter the lighthouse!" Victor's voice rang out from the lighthouse.

Almost the instant the words were spoken, the airships automatically diverted.

ASH Digital Doppelganger had already calculated this intention of the lighthouse from the very beginning.

The robots not only traveled alone, but their vehicles also stopped towing the hunters' armored vehicles; they suddenly separated.

At the same time, the voice of ASH's digital clone rang out from outside the car.

"Hello."

“We have separated the passenger vehicles as you requested,” she said gently.

Victor was taken aback.

He didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative.

"Are you getting off the bus later?" Bai Yuetian asked.

ASH's digital clone shook its head: "I can't get off the vehicle. The Lighthouse has a body that looks exactly like me now. If I get off, the situation may get out of control."

"On the contrary, if I do nothing, the situation will not get out of control."

Bai Yuetian nodded slightly.

At that moment, Victor's voice rang out again: "To avoid misjudgment, please open the car door and let our people in for inspection!"

“Okay,” ASH’s digital clone agreed.

Except for the hovercar where Bai Yuetian and the robot were located, all the doors of the other hovercars were open.

The city defense troops, piloting gravity-based vehicles, flew into these hovercars, inspected them one by one, and after confirming that there were no robots inside, returned to the lighthouse to report to Victor.

"You may land now," Victor said in a deep voice.

"Please forgive our offense; we don't know each other well enough."

ASH's digital clone replied: "Being vigilant is normal, we don't mind, and sometimes contact with other settlements is checked even more strictly."

Victor was taken aback.

The city garrison and the hunters whispered amongst themselves.

Are there many settlements on the ground?

"It shouldn't be very large, otherwise how come we've never discovered it before?"

How did they all survive?

Is it possible for us to return to the surface and survive?

Shh, you're being too loud.

The hovercars landed in a staggered fashion, unloaded the hunters and equipment, and then immediately rose again, without lingering on the lighthouse platform, to show that there was nothing suspicious inside the vehicles.

It seems they have no problem.

Victor immediately felt a sense of goodwill and relaxed considerably.

The Lighthouse has not come into contact with any other human forces for many years, let alone such a flying force. If something goes wrong and the Lighthouse crashes, no amount of his efforts can make up for the mistake.

Bai Yuetian jumped off the floating vehicle.

In addition to the hard drive that ASH Digital Avatar gave him, he also brought a miniature headset with a battery life of up to seven days to communicate with ASH Digital Avatar.

"Moonlight!" Erica stood on tiptoe and waved.

Bai Yuetian walked up to Erica and deliberately got close to her face.

Erica was caught off guard.

But she didn't back away; her body trembled slightly, and she said with a flushed face, "Why are you so close to me?"

Bai Yuetian smiled.

At that moment, Morgan stepped out from the crowd.

His gaze fell on the paint job of the hovercraft, and his expression paused slightly.
