Chapter 202
"Tell me what Eden you saw or heard." Zhang Xun lowered his voice, almost gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
She replied horrified, "I haven't seen it. Every time we would gather in a church, its voice would come out of a robot speaker..."
. "So..." Zhang Xun looked at her pointedly. "You are not sure who is giving you all the orders."
"But our high priest can't lie to us! He is a direct descendant of Herman Clausen, the most legitimate spokesperson of Eden!"
Zhang Xun opened his eyes wide, "The descendants of Herman Clausen?"
The creator of Eden, the genius who cursed this world two hundred years ago, the person who completely rewrote the entire history of mankind.
He has three children, two of whom have become well-known engineers. The eldest daughter inherited her father's nominal Eden administrator status, which was passed on to her younger brother after she was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. Passed it on to one of his students. This identity is only symbolic, because Clausen has already made sufficient considerations, so that Eden can find problems and fix himself without an administrator, and continue to evolve and expand his branch of ability.
After all, a person who is completely disappointed in human nature can only see the despicable side of human nature. Clausen never wanted his life's work to be sullied by some politician or business tycoon with great ambitions. Eden is completely independent of human control.
"What's the name of this high priest?" Zhang Xun asked.
"Natalie Clausen." Her confidence became stronger, as if just the name Clausen was convincing enough, "She is the last member of the Clausen family, Eden trusts her and allows her Direct access to its core program."
Zhang Xun had never heard of this name, and he didn't even know that there were descendants of the Clausen family. He looked up at Anya and the others, but they were also confused.
"She's a descendant of Clausen, and doesn't represent anything." Zhang Xun stood up and looked down at the Eden believers with a blank expression, "She's lying to you."
"Impossible! You are a liar! You cunning men want to regain your privileged position!" She probably had some doubts herself, but she didn't want to admit it, and her reaction suddenly became violent. Anya got a headache from the quarrel, so she waved her hand and asked someone to take the three prisoners down.
The families of the victims around were still cursing loudly and spitting at the captives. Anya said something to a tall female warrior next to her. She immediately led people to drive out everyone except Zhang Xun, James, Diego and her brother, and drove the bar to the bar. The door closes.
Anya stood up, went to the bar and took out a few empty glasses, put ice cubes in them, picked up a bottle of vodka and filled them up one by one. Todd stared at them from the side, narrowing his eyes slightly, staring at Zhang Xun dangerously, "Who are you guys? From your tone, it seems that you know Eden very well?"
Zhang Xun weighed his current situation.
These rioters have not shown any signs of collusion with Eden so far. On the contrary, there are only a few engineers here, who are responsible for hacking bank accounts in the ordinary world and stealing electronic money. The hardware facilities used are not advanced. Putting it together, there is obviously no fixed source for obtaining parts.
He needed some allies, people he was sure would not be assimilated to Adam's doctrine. Because he knows that Adam's theory is actually very convincing, as long as he is given enough time and opportunities, he can make countless people voluntarily undergo brain modification.
He turned his head and glanced at James and Diego, who did not express any objection, as if they hoped to let Zhang Xun make this decision.
He then turned his head and said to the red-haired siblings, "I am Adam's mechanic. And Adam is Eden's North American server. We downloaded it into a male human body."
Anya paused when she poured the wine, then raised her head to stare at him in disbelief, "The rumors are true? Can you really turn a computer into a human?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that, we can turn people into computers." Diego was half teasing and half smiling wryly.
Tod stared at Zhang Xun for a long time, then suddenly turned his eyes to James, "Really?"
James didn't understand why he had to ask himself specifically, would it be more credible to say it from his own mouth... "Yes. I also participated in the séance project."
"Then why did you escape?"
"Because I can't control him. From the very beginning, since he was hijacked, he has been under his control. It's just that we don't know." Zhang Xun's tone was calm and lacking in emotion, "Eden realized his original The strategy, depriving the male human of his privileges, does not fundamentally help him reach the goals his creators set him up for. He has other plans for the human, so he volunteers to become Adam in order to use Paradise Lost to achieve his next step The goal of the first stage of the plan. I tried to destroy him, but failed, so I had to flee."
Anya took a sip of wine into her mouth, trying to digest the news she heard, "So... why are you still alive?"
"That's right, if you were a threat to Eden, you should have been neutralized long ago." Todd stared at Zhang Xun suspiciously, "How come you are so far away from Paradise Lost and unscathed?"
