"Boohoo, they're a perfect match, born for each other. What right do us monsters have to object?"
Tutu exclaid at the doorway: "Whoa, the shut-in was totally defeated by the normie!"
Jianxue shook his head: "No, I think it's a case of a stronger shut-in beating another. Falling in love with an NPC, I never even considered such a thing. What's it called? Zeratustian romance?"
Tutu: "It's Platonic, dumbass!"
So latecor players were still clueless.
"Who's that girl? What romance? Are players eting up in real life?"
After understanding the backstory, many were quite shocked.
"Whoa! This is the new era of online dating!"
The entire entrance to the dical area was surrounded by layers of people, many players drawn by the ga's reputation were amazed by its openness.
Compared to that, the tasks in their hands seed dull.
And there was envy, lots of envy!!!
But the person being envied wasn't happy at all.
Street Punk helped Yoshida sit up from the hospital bed, but Yoshida Saki's eyes occasionally stread large amounts of data, causing her body to temporarily freeze in place, unable to speak or be conscious, ranging from a few seconds to minutes, after which she returned to normal without mory of the incident.
"Resident, what's wrong with her? Did a rogue AI leave so virus or control software?"
"Strange... her vital signs are perfectly fine, and her cybernetics are well-adapted. Why is this happening?"
The Resident was nearly scratching his head out trying to figure what this condition was, with no records even online, it was a rare mystery among mysteries.
"I think it's likely related to the experints Zeta Technology conducted on her brain, though the impact of a rogue AI can't be ruled out... but we need ti for a detailed diagnosis."
"Agent..."
Yoshida nervously clutched Street Punk's sleeve, refusing to let go, the overwhelming scent of romance nearly made the Resident roll his eyes.
The noisy dical area suddenly quieted down, a white-haired girl walked through the crowd into the dical area, she glanced at Yoshida Saki and said to the Resident
"Let take a look."
Street Punk was quite surprised.
"Lucy ntor, why are you here?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with a ntor coming to see a student's patient friend?"
How could she not co?
Such a big incident happened in the player community that Lin Miao couldn't ignore it, despite all calculations he never anticipated this move, love sotis doesn't follow logic, it just happens.
It's like how thousands of people might fall in love with a stone post, who could predict such things?
But now that it's happened, what can Lin Miao do, forcibly erase their mory and pull them apart?
What's the difference from a villain in a movie, he's not Master Extinction, and who knows if this will happen again in future, he can't keep watch on everyone, can he?
He can only pray those players' parents or spouses don't visit the forum, or Lin Miao might permanently bid farewell to a player.
"Relax."
Lucy's voice seed to have a calming effect, Yoshida Saki's anxious deanor instantly eased.
Once the data cable connected the two, golden streams of data appeared in both Lucy's and Yoshida Saki's eyes, after only two or three minutes, Lucy unplugged the cable and said to the few people in the room
"Her body is fine, the problem is with her brain's consciousness.
Zeta Technology likely used so kind of hacking technique to digitally replace so human brain computing with a centralized computation center, it's sowhat similar to the legendary Demonic Puppet Soul Killer, but not at that level.
But this hacking technique coupled with brain modification compressed the human consciousness into quite a small environnt, and even now freed, she can't imdiately control those digitalized consciousness realms...."
The Resident raised a hand to ask.
"Lucy ntor, do you an... she's now half AI, half human?"
"No, she's purely human now, if left untreated.... that digital half might eventually birth an AI and start fighting for control of the body, until fully replacing her own consciousness."
Ever since she engaged with the Black Wall and dealt with nurous rogue AIs, Lucy's understanding of this area deepened, and she better comprehended the source of those cyber disorders that were long concealed by major corporations, including Song Zhaoi's experiences.
Street Punk imdiately panicked.
"Lucy ntor, can the bio-modification pod fix her brain?"
Exactly, if the bio-modification pod could fix her brain, Yoshida Saki could beco a normal human.
Lucy did not directly agree to Street Punk's request, although the cost of treating soone was negligible to Lin Miao, she thought for a mont and said
"Rather than treatnt, I have a better proposal, but the choice is yours."
"Her semi-AI condition is quite rare, with significant developntal potential, though little room for growth, if she can control the digital realm herself, she'd be able to freely enter Cyberspace, or control intelligent devices for aid."
Though unfeeling, a healed Yoshida Saki would indeed be very weak to players.
The crucial thing is that both Lin Miao and Lucy are concerned about those words Erebos spoke before self-deletion.
If captured AIs still hold the possibility of rebellion, then assigning all devices to AI control undoubtedly bears great risk.
Yoshida Saki's ergence offers Lin Miao another possibility.
A possibility described as the third party between AI and humans.
