Daydream Theatre - C34

“What’s more …” The Master now seemed to have completely grasped the initiative, “A Bionic Human like Tomoko can create countless of them, but why are you so fixated on it …”

“Even so, for humans, unique things are valuable.”

“What do you mean?”

“If Moloch really doesn’t care about me destroying Tomoko, I’m afraid that she wouldn’t have let you come and lobby me.”

“Like I said, to create a robot like Tomoko is not a difficult thing.”

“But if I kill Tomoko today, and the next day another completely identical Tomoko steps onto the stage … Will people embrace her as madly as they once did? ”

“You don’t think so?”

“Of course not, if that’s the case, then Tomoko is no longer unique. Although logically speaking, Moloch could create countless Tomoko s, they did not do so. And the spectators subconsciously saw Tomoko as a unique person, which was why they realized how important she was. If I were to shoot through Tomoko today and Moloch sets another Eiko tomorrow, people will not buy it. ”

“Your analysis is quite thorough.”

“Hehe, I’m human. I understand human psychology.”

“Yes, Ms West,” However, the conversation of the masters changed, “But as I said earlier, your ‘real body’ has already been discovered by Moloch, as long as they cut off your connection, your control would stop here.”

“Oh?” However, unexpectedly, the kidnapper didn’t seem to be in a hurry, “You said before that you were someone from the Meditation Group? That is to say… In the end, you still helped Moloch? ”

“The changes to the Robotics Theatre came online in a hurry, and there were a lot of holes in the program. And these loopholes were all exploited by you one by one, resulting in this kind of situation. ”

“What loophole?” Now the two men were discussing the case itself.

“First, all the robots have built a rule that ‘do not attack Moro’. But this code is for robots, not for humans. ”

“Clearly, if it’s a competitor, their consciousness has complete control over the robot, so they can ignore this rule.”

“Yes, that’s why, right now, there is a robot that captures the Miss Tomoko — it is obvious that this robot is being controlled by the participants.”

“I don’t understand why we don’t add a safety precaution on all robots to make them still have their basic codes. That way, the controller can do anything else other than not attacking Tomoko.”

“This isn’t a loophole, it’s just that there’s a hidden one …” A slightly dirty secret. ”

The Great Master wanted to continue to speak, but Roy spoke anxiously, “Everyone, why don’t we take a look at the situation in Ms West’s home?” He took out a holographic projection ball.

But the Great Master ignored him, “Haha, Mr. Roy, even though I am here to dissuade Ms West, I am not standing on Moloch’s side. I am speaking on behalf of my conscience.”

“…” Mr. Roy was at a loss for words. Then, I saw that the screen had suddenly turned pitch black and a few words were typed on it: Due to the equipment problem, the live broadcast will be delayed.

Ah, yes, that’s what I saw when I was out on the road.

The situation had really turned for the worse. It seemed like the master did not try to dissuade him from succeeding? Otherwise, why would he and Miss Jiang come to my place again? And …

“I would like to ask the Master Number Six,” I heard the director’s orders, “What exactly do you mean by ‘a slightly dirty secret is hidden’?”

“Oh, even though Ms West requested for the signal to not be interrupted, we missed this part during the live broadcast.” The Master turned to face Jiang Xiaowei, “Miss Jiang, you are Tomoko’s manager, do you want me to reveal this secret?”

Jiang Xiaowei looked as though she had lost her parents, “Master, you can say whatever you want to say. There’s still half an hour …”

“Mmm, the reason why we don’t add this safety measure is for the sake of considering the plot in the future! All robots are forbidden to harm the Miss Tomoko, except for the main characters. Therefore, perhaps what Moloch was considering was … in the future, it will be presented to people with special hobbies… and some participants with special interests… The content that insults and hurts Miss Tomoko! ”

In an instant, I felt a nameless rage rising in my heart. So Moloch had this intention! She had completely treated Moro as a tool to satisfy her own desires and interests!

It seems that if there really is a live broadcast of Miss Tomoko being harmed, then it must be a super VIP!” I immediately added, “No wonder the master calls this a hidden dark curtain, it really cannot be exposed!” Of course, this is a program from the Eloi, so I should let this be known to the public. The director also praised me in my ears, of course, I am only relying on my own conscience to preside over.

“Hehe, even though it hasn’t been presented yet, a company with such intentions …” The master shook his head, “I’m not surprised that the existence of the robot community is so well-known. Any creature with emotions and a sense of self would not silently endure such a huge insult.”

He said those words righteously, but I have some questions, because he clearly handed over Mr. Fantsey to Moloch just now … Why he now pitied the android, I could not fully understand.

I saw that the kidnapper was getting angry, and said that if Moloch cut the signal once again, I will immediately destroy Princess Tomoko.

What’s even weirder is that if they had already found the location of this Ms West according to what Master said … Why not just disconnect her from the virtual world? This was not difficult at all! Was this just a deceptive strategy?

But West seemed to be the kidnapper’s name.

“This has nothing to do with me,” the master explained. “So you took advantage of the first loophole and manipulated one of the robots as a contestant. Furthermore, the participant could choose the robot he wanted to control and you chose to use the one closest to Tomoko, the VIP streaming, to catch him off guard and capture the weapon of the timid prince. ”

Poor timid prince… I thought he had some ability to turn the tide, but it was just a formality.

“This is indeed a very big loophole.”

“But the problem is that Moloch had already selected five participants from the previous episode’s Robot Theater. By the time this episode started, the five participants had all chosen their own robots: Giant, Winged Man, Six-Hands Man, Snake-People Man and that coward Prince.”

“Yes, all five contestants have entered the theater.”

“Also, according to the rules, if the robot chosen by the contestant is’ killed ‘by the enemy, then the contestant will also be eliminated.”

“Hur hur, then how do I control this camera now?”

“This is the second loophole of the show: The five contestants from the previous episode participated in the next episode through a method of identification.”

“What way?”

“DNA recognition.”

“Heh heh, this master knows it too.”

“This is related to the structure of the Eloi Access Chair. When connected, there will be two nanometer sized cables that will enter the human brain through the ear holes on both sides. The access process is actually the process by which these two nanowires release and receive telecommunications signals. It is important to know that the reason why our human brains are able to create vision and sensations is because of the transmission of chemical signals between the nerves. ”

“The Access Chair carried out a type of simulation.”

“Yes, as a partner of the Mr Eloi, I am well aware of the technical details. Therefore, nanowires can extract tiny amounts of DNA, which does no harm to the human body. ”

“So the five contestants were added to this episode through DNA recognition.”

“That’s right, everyone’s DNA sequence is different. Only these five people can participate in this episode.”

“But there aren’t any loopholes. These five people have already been ‘killed’ in the program. Why am I able to enter the program to control another robot?”

“This recognition method is not perfect at all, because …” I then realised that not only was Master Number Six good at preaching, he was also good at logical reasoning, “Because in reality, not everyone’s DNA is different.”

“Oh? You’re saying that I have the exact same DNA sequence as one of the contestants, which is why I was able to enter the program? ”

“That’s right.”

“Who would have the same DNA as everyone else?”

“It’s not hard to imagine, but the probability is too small, so Moloch thinks that there’s no problem.” The master’s explanation enlightened me, “If the lucky ones in the lottery were one of the identical twins, and they were in the Robotics Theater at the same time… I’m afraid the probability will be infinitely close to zero! ”

So they were identical twins! So the kidnapper behind the scenes and one of the participants is the twin sister of the same egg! As a result, she was able to control the audience as a participant.

“But I heard that even if they were identical twins, their DNA wouldn’t be the same, right?”

“This is indeed an oversight, but the nanowires obviously cannot gather enough samples to analyze the DNA. I can only say that Ms West, you succeeded in your attempt. You quietly entered the program from the beginning, until all five were eliminated, and you ended up down. It’s all because of the haste with the changes at the Robot Theater and the fact that it didn’t take into account so many problems. ”

“Well, according to your reasoning, I am the sister of one of the lucky ones?”

“That’s right, this is the only way.”

“But how did you know I was Ms West? There are five participants. ”

“The contestants are all anonymous. Even if they get their DNA, as long as they don’t have a criminal record, they can’t get their real names.”

“Hehe, what’s more, Eloi will not provide any locating information to Moloch.”

“Of course, they are rivals. The virtual world is the technology of the Eloi, so only the Eloi Company can know the specific location and information of each Access Visitor. ”

“Even if Moloch went to ask them, they would not help Moloch right?”

“Of course, it’s just that someone kidnapped an iron machine that can walk and talk, why would Eloi publicly locate it?”

“From a public opinion point of view, it is not wrong. Even though everyone likes Tomoko, for the sake of a Bionic Human, they must publicize the secret information of the Access Visitor …”

“It’s not hard to imagine that the Eloi wouldn’t do such a thing, and furthermore, because of the matter with the Miss Emma, the relationship between the two families has reached the freezing point.” I originally thought that the Master Number Six did not ask about the mortal world, but who would have known that he also knew about Emma’s case.

“Then you are …”

“It’s very simple!” Roy interrupted from the side, “It was the Master Number Six who helped us.”

The Master nodded, “That’s right, I have the identity code to enter the Eloi’s core system — — My DNA. As long as I lie on the Access Chair, the system will automatically identify me. “Hehe, this is the first time I’ve visited a virtual world in so many years.”

“You …” I think that right now, the Ms West must be very confused, why did she grab this extremely rare opportunity and get destroyed by this whatever master that suddenly appeared, “You still helped Moloch.”

“I said I was following my conscience. Even though the Meditation Group has faded out of the people’s field of vision, us seven brothers have not regained our Eloi Company for many years. But Eloi still retained our identity information, allowing me to finally find your residence — — Ms West! ” The master’s voice was loud, as though he wanted the kidnapper to surrender.

“Humph!” Ms West still did not put down the beam weapon, “I’m afraid that your identity will be erased from the Eloi’s core system soon!”

“I can’t decide that. “But I can take back the tragedy that will happen today. Ms. Wester, why do you have to go through all this trouble?”

“Why bother? How can a person like you, who has no desire to live, understand the vexation of us small citizens? ”

“You think too highly of me. But no matter what, no matter what intentions you have, you will not be able to succeed because Moloch… ”

“Ha ha!” The kidnapper suddenly laughed, he did not seem to feel that he was at a disadvantage at all, “Mr. Roy, can you please cut out the scene from the scene? That’s right, it is the scene from the Ms West’s house, am I lying on the Access Chair without moving?

But strangely, Roy did not open the holographic sphere. He had clearly been trying to broadcast the scene live to interrupt the Master’s revealing of the truth.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen? ” The kidnapper’s voice didn’t sound scared at all, as if everything was under her control. “The plot is progressing rather quickly. But, Master, if you don’t show up, I’m afraid that I’ll reveal my position myself. ”

“What?” It was the Great Master’s turn to be confused. “You mean …”

He immediately turned to Roy: “Now, what’s the situation over there, why don’t you all quickly disconnect her?”

Roy wanted to say something but hesitated, so the Ms West helped him explain: “So, it’s about time for the second round of voting. I am not greedy. I will ask only for two ballots. In the first round of balloting, everyone believed that the human race was more important than Tomoko. However, no matter which side you all vote on, it doesn’t matter because the balloting could not produce any substantial result, so no matter what the audience said, there was no need to be responsible. “Now, I would like to ask everyone …”

She looked around her with an expression of great righteousness and without fear — strangely enough, though the “camera” never changed its expression, I could feel it. “I want to ask you all, is the life of the Miss Tomoko more important, or is that of Miss West — my real life more important?”

What she meant was … Could it be that at the scene …

I had a premonition that something serious was about to happen. It was no longer just a theatrical performance between the virtual world and the inanimate robot, but an event that was about to enter an irrevocable human tragedy.
