345: Chapter 125 The 8th Martial God Part 2 345: Chapter 125 The 8th Martial God Part 2 Xiang Shan watched as the person in front of him slowly stood up.

Although the project “controlling the brain with a Personality Mask in reverse” had failed, the data part of this Prosthetic Body could still be fitted with a functioning Pseudo-personality Mask.

He looked at the guy and said, “Do you have consciousness?

Do you need an explanation?”

The fellow fell silent for a moment: “I am thee, and thou are me.”

Xiang Shan sighed faintly.

The newly emerged “Xiang Shan?” shook his head: “Is this really okay?”

“I don’t know,” Xiang Shan sighed.

“There’s really no such thing as perfection in the world…

Maybe one day I’ll pay the price.”

“At least it counts as punishing evil,” replied “Xiang Shan?”

Xiang Shan pointed at a corner: “The brain cells of that person should still be active.

You should inject 0.1 units of the Restoring Enzyme and two units of the Uxue Enzyme.

Then go through the G1 section of the literature as well.”

“Xiang Shan?” nodded his head.

It’s uncertain whether it’s a good sign or not.

So far, Xiang Shan has never been successful in installing his own Personality Mask inversely onto the Biological Brain.

However, he has been conducting slow experiments of reverse input.

This involves using potions like the Restoring Enzyme to completely change a person’s brain structure, and then having them relearn.

In this process, the Pseudo-personality Mask that dominates behavior will engrave “actions” onto the neural network, ultimately forming the mind and personality in reverse.

The Araya Holy Knight Order has records about this matter, but the success rate has always been low.

Any processing of external information is built upon “existing neural structures.” And the uniqueness of neural structures is even greater than “fingerprints” and “genes.”

Perhaps “Xiang Shan” is an exception among exceptions.

“Xiang Shan” could even be considered a kind of social phenomenon that transcends individuals—the more people think so, the more likely it is that “Xiang Shan” could be reborn.

An Undead resurrected six times is more likely to be born than others.

When Xiang Shan left the house, “Xiang Shan?” said to him, “Also, remember to suppress the friction between Spring, Winter, and the ‘Shadow Gang.'”

“That has been resolved.

Have I not updated the upload data for too long?”

“Yeah, it seems like it, half a month already.” “Xiang Shan?” waved his hand and continued to read the literature.

A billion years of evolution have prepared the capabilities needed for life.

Babies are ready to interact effectively with the world before they are born.

Their eyesight is blurry, but they pay special attention to faces and can quickly recognize their mother’s face.

They prefer structured speech sounds to non-verbal sounds and can differentiate basic phonemes.

This kind of “learning” ability is innate.

And these Pseudo-personality Masks, by learning through the Biological Brain, give birth to “knowledge.brain” files that are highly compatible with Xiang Shan as a True Personality Mask.

This is also one of the reasons he can accumulate knowledge quickly.

These Personality Masks are learning all the time.

Besides, they also disguise themselves as “gangs.”

That is the “Shadow Gang.”

In this city, the real gangs are shrinking year by year.

In their place, an army made up of Xiang Shan’s Pseudo-personality Masks has emerged.

In evolutionary history, the extinction of a species is often attributed to two factors: one is the destruction of living conditions, and the other is the appearance of a more advantageous species in similar ecological niches, squeezing out their living space.

In the Old Era, “that” Xiang Shan established the Transhumanism enterprise, which was actually an attempt to use a “technological revolution” to rapidly change the entire social environment and destroy the foundation for Conservatives and Oppressors.

However, the Superman Enterprise is in essence the great monstrous behemoth, Leviathan.

Xiang Shan also had to launch a “secret war.”

Whereas “this” Xiang Shan is creating an organization similar to a gang, taking over the real gang’s ecological niche, preventing the precursor of the Green Forest from arising in this city.

In this era, gangs still have a foundation for survival.

Although Protectors claim that humans can own private property, it is actually difficult for individuals to protect their possessions.

And some ambiguous disputes or uncertain transactions can’t be guaranteed.

Historically, when “laws” failed to protect citizens, they would turn to Outlaws.

The gangs of this era are actually built on people’s vague trust in themselves.

They use this vague trust as assurance, guaranteeing the normal occurrence of everything in society.

Unless this “foundation for survival” is eradicated, the gangs will never die out.

Xiang Shan, however, uses the “Shadow Gang,” an organization composed of his own Personality Masks, to replace the presence of “legitimate gangs.” Under these circumstances, Xiang Shan can better restrain the occurrence of various violent incidents.

Whenever a bloody event is about to take place, the “Shadows” can show up one step ahead and give the troublemakers a beating.

Since everyone knows these guys are part of a gang, it’s not surprising.

The essence of the “Shadow Gang” is a group of AIs set up with specific parameters.

They will not lose control, become extreme, or turn into the Green Forest.

And some of the nasty things that gangs do, Xiang Shan can also prevent—on the surface, the “Shadow Gang” may commit acts that even a Hero can’t stand.

But the “victims” of these acts are actually Xiang Shan’s “Shadows.”

In the eyes of the common people, the reputation of the “Shadow Gang” is not bad.

And in the eyes of the local Heroes, the “Shadow Gang” is seen as a concentration camp for convicts.

A certain “Hero” who self-identifies as “Mountain” seems to have a bit of talent in neurosurgery.

He claimed that he could use a surgery with a very bad reputation from the Old Era to slightly suppress people’s violent tendencies.

So, it wasn’t too surprising when they found people “who seemed to be well-known from Green Forest” and “clearly villains captured by a Hero” appearing in this gang.

That kind of technique, only found in historical records, seemed to be unforgivable in the Old Era.

But truth be told, in these times, it’s better than many other things.

To some, at least those brainwashed by Green Forest and forced into banditry who underwent this ordeal, could be considered to have a good ending.

There were even instances of people who had been humiliated by bullies erupting in rage, knocking out their tormentors, and then taking them to the “Shadow Gang.”

The true relationship between Xiang Shan and the Shadow Gang was only known to Xiang Shan himself.

Of course, Xiang Shan also had a handful of supporters.

During the time at the Martial Arts School, he subtly inculcated the concept of chivalry into the school’s disciples.

Zheng Lunnao did not interfere.

However, in this era, where chivalry was in decline, those people indeed had reservations and did not dare to step into Jianghu.

Xiang Shan knew that such matters couldn’t be forced.

Those dragged into it involuntarily were unlikely to become qualified comrades.

Nonetheless, a few of them still became local Heroes.

After leaving the warehouse, Xiang Shan reconnected to the network.

He gave minor guidance to the local heroes in their practice of Inner Strength.

He quite enjoyed playing the teacher, something that came naturally to him.

Besides, it was in keeping with the persona of an “Internal master with contributions to cognitive science.” Follow current novels on novel★fire.net

Maybe the incident from before left him a bit melancholic.

On the street, he stared at the rising moon for several seconds.

Then, he continued on.

This morning, upon seeing a victim crushed to a pulp, he had almost lost his sanity in rage, hence the earlier scene.

It threw off his plans for the day.

After that, there was nothing much to do.

So he figured that he might as well go to see Old Hammer Trace and update his “backup.”

Old Hammer Trace was a Burrow Dragon, a manager of the Black Valley Lineage of Burrow Dragons, and somewhat of a friend.

Xiang Shan knew he could easily die.

His “starting point” was too unfavorable.

If he were on Jupiter, he could have used some of the engineered marvels of supercomputers there to practice Inner Strength without having to worry about King Aqini.

But on Earth, every practice of Inner Strength was like walking a tightrope.

Even if the Demon Sect could provide some cover, there was no guarantee Hartman wouldn’t discover him.

Yet, it was this “spark of technology” that he wanted to pass on.

Even if he died, this technique must continue to burn in the hands of the Rebels.

Xiang Shan also knew that this was just his wishful thinking.

For this world, the eradication of such an evil technique along with his own disappearance would be the greatest insurance.

if he did not do so, it would do a disservice to the sacrifices made during the process.

Even villains and members of Green Forest had existed as humans, and as humans, they were executed.

When he saw Old Hammer Trace, he was carving something.

Xiang Shan asked him to randomly carve a few QR codes as decoys.

When Old Hammer Trace saw Xiang Shan approaching, he muttered, “Are you sure this is useful?

Your secret signals are centuries old, man!

Does anyone actually understand them now?”

As the person with the tightest lips, Old Hammer Trace was one of the first to be informed of Xiang Shan’s true identity.

Xiang Shan scratched his head: “Maybe there are some, huh?”

That special Talisman, even the “scholars who study Xiang Shan” hadn’t mentioned it much.

Perhaps aside from Ingrid, only Xiang Shan himself recognized it.

No, even Ingrid might forget.

Only “Xiang Shan” can identify Xiang Shan’s own secret signals.

It wasn’t that “only Xiang Shan was worthy of receiving it,” but rather “this” Xiang Shan simply did not know how to select candidates.

There were actually many Heroes qualified to use it, but Xiang Shan couldn’t think of a safe way to distribute it.

And for those who “didn’t need to be selected” and “didn’t need to transmit a signal,” only “Xiang Shan” qualified.

—Of course, Xiang Shan despised “Martial God.” Perhaps…

the Xiang Shan able to reach this place might be stronger than me, transcending the narrow view of Xiang Shan.

That was the thought of Xiang Shan.

After updating that, Xiang Shan left.

He returned to another one of his secret bases and, using a secure route he built, connected to another server located off-planet.

This was a service station near the “Lightspeed Highway,” orbiting the sun.

During these few months, it happened to be fairly close to Earth.

For Xiang Shan, it was an excellent tool for practicing Inner Strength.

He “saw” himself in a home.

It was a home long vanished, located in Old Era Beiping.

The neighborhood had been rebuilt over two hundred years ago by the advancements of Superman Enterprise.

It was his most comforting meditation environment.

But then, Xiang Shan suddenly felt something was off.
