The Fall of the Etuo Gang

The senior engineer can now be certain that the Evil Tuo Gang, this street gang, is definitely backed by the Turing Church for technical support.

This "technology" is very likely a means of using the authority of the "Eye of Spying".

The evil gang acquired powerful technological capabilities.

The "Eye of Peeping" gained the benefit of "Consciousness Monitoring".

As for the Turing Church, it gained another piece of the 'collective unconscious'.

A win-win-win situation!

The only losers are probably the people at the bottom of society, or rather, the experimental subjects.

Compared to the consumables, cannon fodder, and the bottom class in normal society, the "consumables" in cyber society are the real consumables.

Large-scale biological experiments by biotechnology companies, large-scale human brain experiments by internet companies, and new prosthetic body experiments by equipment companies.

These experiments were not only legal, but also received the full support of the mother city.

It is precisely because of this trend that street gangs have also started doing this.

After all, even if the experiment fails, selling it to a big company can still make a profit.

Street-level technology can't possibly unlock such advanced technology, so cooperation with underground cults and hidden organizations becomes inevitable.

Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

The data flow of the senior engineer continuously leaps within this "data island".

Electronic Cowboy Manual + Virtual Invasion.

Soon, in the old town of the city that never sleeps, in a shop selling "books on mysticism and religion".

One by one, the old-fashioned computers turned on automatically.

Numerous experimental data began to be downloaded in batches.

[You have obtained a Level 5 data blueprint [AI Totem Technology]]

[You have obtained the large AI blueprint [AI Farm 1/3]]

[You have obtained a Level 4 technical blueprint [Subconscious Modification]]

[You gain professional knowledge [collective unconscious]]

[You gain professional knowledge [Information Worship]]

"Wow, there are two professional knowledge questions! What a steal!"

Collective unconscious: A vast accumulation of mental energy within a group of intelligent species, resulting from culture, lifestyle, and social structure. Utilizing it effectively may unlock unimaginable power.

Information worship: From ancient totem worship, symbol worship, and religious worship, to machine worship, AI worship, and human body modification worship in secondary civilizations, information worship encompasses everything.

The vast amount of knowledge contained within the two fully-fledged knowledge levels poured into the senior engineer's mind like a sudden enlightenment.

The Turing Church's Electronic Barrier are notoriously poor, a fact that the senior engineer is well aware of.

On a spiritual level, they are accustomed to prioritizing quantity over quality, which makes them very vulnerable to Cyber Hacker.

The Turing Church targets AI, AI harasses Cyber Hacker, and hackers in turn infiltrate the Turing Church.

They truly are an inseparable trio.

However, gaining two professional knowledge skills at once is something that can only be encountered in the Turing Church quests at this stage.

The unification of the three schools of thought—the Isaiah School, the Worm School, and the Greyling Turing Church —greatly enhanced the technological capabilities of this underground sect, leading to its full-scale rise to power.

The reason is simple: after the merging of the three religions, the Turing Church possessed a super weapon: the ability to tame advanced AI.

Once the Turing Church completed its "reverse artificial intelligence" deduction, they mastered another powerful weapon called the "data-devouring concept entity".

Aside from the three planetary AIs, the Turing Church essentially gained control over the life and death of all AIs on these planets.

What exactly was the timeline of the "unity of the three religions"?

The senior engineer has a good memory; he can remember most of the important plot points from the early stages.

The problem is, he wasn't involved in the Turing Church storyline.

He only vaguely remembered that it was related to a huge fleet, a fleet that called itself a "pilgrimage" that set off from the ruins of the holy city of Tyria, braved all kinds of dangers, circled the entire planet, and completed the "Turing Fusion".

"The ruins of Tyria, there should be players there, right?"

"Regardless, let's place a ward first."

The senior engineer, who was in the midst of a chaotic situation, had absorbed all the experimental data from the evil gang over the years into his mind when he suddenly received Gao Yuanyuan's voice.

"Elder brother."

"What's wrong?"

"That island... it seems it's about to fly away?"

The engineer switched perspectives, and sure enough, the entire island continued to rise, seemingly trying to break free from this subconscious sea.

Once the island is removed from the sea, the water becomes turbid at a visible speed.

This only proves two things—

One of the real-life situations involving the evil guild was not good, which led the bishop to flee.

Secondly, this guy must have taken the "spiritual essence" of these tens of thousands of people. This "spiritual essence" is somewhat like the core data of a company. Once it is taken away, the entire company will be paralyzed.

In reality, without core data, these tens of thousands of living people have a 100% chance of getting sick, and they all suffer from the most difficult-to-treat mental illnesses.

These are the real consumables.

In the mother city, these kinds of "consumables" have another name—

Artificial data

Although the senior engineer made up for his lack of professional hacking skills with his operational soft skills, it would probably be a bit troublesome to actually capture the other party. The key point is that he has already obtained all of the other party's experimental data, so fighting against him would be a thankless task.

However, the senior engineer suddenly had a thought and turned his gaze to the 'brain disk', where he saw the girl's serious expression.

"Brother, if we do nothing, these people will definitely go crazy."

"I was experimented on and lost a lot of memories, including those of my parents and my friends. I don't want anyone else to go through the same thing as me."

"Can you do it?" the senior engineer asked in return.

I want to give it a try.

"Then you should give it a try."

Suddenly, the senior engineer revealed his true form in the second layer of the cyber dream. The mouthless bishop standing on the floating island changed his expression. He had no idea when the other party had arrived.

Only one type of person could give him this feeling: Cyber Hacker!

The data stream on the surface of the high-tech body began to change, changing its face, head, and body.

The senior engineer disappeared, replaced by a pale-faced girl with flowing hair.

Gao Yuanyuan logged into this cyber dream world using the account of "Gao Gong".

It's her!

The mouthless bishop immediately recognized the girl who had almost been converted at the concert entrance.

At that time, he still thought of her as an ordinary girl with the talent to become a candidate for sainthood.

As a result, his mouth was cut off with a slap.

The girl in front of him gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth.

Indeed, he is unfathomable. Before the unification of the three religions, a branch bishop like him was a level 27 profession.

However, Gao Yuanyuan, this electronic life form, is guaranteed to be at least level 49.

Although level doesn't determine everything in Cyberworld, a difference of more than 20 levels makes it virtually impossible to turn the tide.

Taking down a branch bishop was secondary; more importantly, the senior engineer wanted to see just how much of the Big Data Conceptual Entity's strength his younger sister possessed when she went all out.

After all, there are some things that you can't tell just by looking at the data panel.

When Gao Yuanyuan saw the mouthless bishop in the sky above the island, she felt a sudden surge of intense anger for some reason.

Under the influence of this anger, a large net instantly spread out on the sea surface. This network was a huge neural network, and on each neuron node, there was a faint human figure. What they had in common was that each of these human figures was missing a piece of their brain.

"Is this 'advanced electronic control'? It's got a bit of Rose's 'pheromone network' feel to it."

Rose's 'pheromone network' can disrupt everyone's senses, turning everyone into zombies, while Gao Yuanyuan's neural network does the opposite. As the 'electrical signals' run wildly, the floating islands begin to slowly collapse and fall.

The brains of tens of thousands of people are working simultaneously, creating a kind of aggregation effect, trying to return to normal.

The bishop's expression changed. He didn't care about anything else, but these "spiritual essences" were preparations for the pilgrimage and an important measure of a district bishop's performance. He would never give them up.

The bishop's eyes suddenly shot out a beam of golden light, within which were golden wings and a serpentine body, each segment of the 'serpentine body' wrapped in a golden band.

Name: Hunter Angel

Level: 32

Occupation: Virtual Life

Health: 21000

Skills: Intelligent Strangulation, Swarm Consciousness Extraction, Large Mechanical Parasite, Holy Word

Four of these AI-hunting angels appeared in total. Two of them went straight for Gao Yuanyuan, while the other two pounced on the neural network, seemingly intending to completely destroy this "artificial data".

Gao Yuanyuan remained calm. The next moment, hundreds of data streams erupted from the neural network and transformed into more than a hundred boys and girls, all of whom were Gao Yuanyuan's former friends from the orphanage.

Now, they have become rudimentary AI.

"Tsk tsk, they've created over a hundred AIs so quickly? That must be incredibly time-consuming."

The senior engineer clicked his tongue in admiration. Although his younger sister had incredible energy, it was clearly the result of programming day and night. This girl had the potential to become a female programmer.

More than a hundred AIs were divided into four, blocking these four AI hunters.

These four "snake angels" are indeed the nemesis of artificial intelligence. Whether they are strangling and constricting, or absorbing the collective consciousness of the seawater and turning it into a torrent, they can cause a lot of damage to AI. The surface code collapses wildly, and various carefully compiled programs begin to crash.

However, it was ultimately delayed until the deadline.

Gao Yuanyuan was well aware of her weakness, which was a lack of combat experience, so she didn't plan to use any fancy tricks and forcefully used her other ability, "Darkened Artificial Intelligence".

Instantly, a massive area-of-effect attack, somewhere between a hacker and a virus, was unleashed. Almost without a moment's hesitation, a large number of virtual followers on the floating island began to turn against the virtual bishop and attack him.

Soon, the virtual bishop was forced to retreat and was engulfed in internal strife.

As the human backdoor of the "Electronic Brain Project," Gao Yuanyuan has a unique advantage in the field of brain invasion.

Then, a frenzied Virtual Invasion was launched, and although they were not yet skilled, their numbers were terrifying.

Hundreds of "Virtual Invasion" bombarded the virtual bishop, causing its data to crash and its cross-shaped hooks to shatter on the spot.

The battle at the data level is that simple and direct: either you hack into me, or I block you; there is no third option.

The virtual bishop's physical body rapidly melted away.

"This won't do. I need to activate my backup personality, or I'll surely die!"

The backup personality is a kind of bug-like skill. Once activated, it's like having a second life. As for whether this backup personality or backup memory counts as the original, that's an ethical issue.

But without a doubt, this is an amazing skill for escaping!

Gao Yuanyuan was caught off guard by the other party's decisiveness in abandoning their physical body, and she panicked for a moment.

Gao Yuanyuan was a newbie, but Gao Gong was not. He switched accounts directly, pointed his silver-white pistol at the other party's forehead, and activated the master-level "Source Code Killer".

The bullet pierced through space and struck the opponent's forehead directly. Unlike the previous data dissolution, this virtual bishop disintegrated completely.

Source Code Killer Max: Your ability to dissect program logic, data structures, and algorithms is like that of a master butcher. Any level of AI life is merely a pile of crude building blocks in your eyes; pull one out, and mountains collapse and seas crumble.

[You killed Bishop Herton of the City That Never Sleeps]

[Your experience +8000, regional reputation +1000, lottery chance*1]

[You killed the Turing Church's virtual bishop. Turing Church reputation -1000. Current status: Hostile]

[You killed a high-level NPC of the Elite template, +1 Specialization Point]

The floating island above disintegrated, turning into streams of transparent liquid that re-entered the sea.

The seawater became visibly clearer.

Only five or six groups of "red materials" ended up in the hands of senior engineers because they could not be integrated into the collective subconscious.

[You have gained 5 Spirit Essences]

Without the virtual bishop's control, the four AI-controlled angels floated silently in mid-air.

"We'll modify this thing a bit so we can use it ourselves."

Reality, the city that never sleeps, the old town, Huagu Street

Gao Jin punched a large combat robot, completely shattering the robot, which was over ten meters tall.

Three large combat robots, the last trump card of the Evil Toh gang.

Covered in blood, Gao Jin pushed aside the wreckage of the robot, walked directly into the bookstore, smashed open the hidden door, and found a dozen old computers emitting white light.

"Dragon Head, what do you mean?" asked the Bodhisattva-like man who had lost an arm.

Gao Jin originally wanted to say to burn everything, but what came out of his mouth was, "Put the things away, contact the seller, and sell them for a good price."

A large part of the reason that made Gao Jin bow down was that the battle was too brutal.

Of the dozen or so double-flowered red sticks, only half were following behind; the number of dead and wounded gang members would only increase.

Since Gao Jin entered the City of Never Sleeps to make his fortune, he had never suffered such a loss.

"The leader of the Evil Gang has been found!"

"Brother Jin, the missing brothers have been found, and they're still alive."

"Brother Jin..."

Gao Jin let out a long breath, put his arm around the Bodhisattva Man, and whispered, "If Bai Zhishan wants to make a move, now is our weakest moment. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood. Taking advantage of the momentum from sweeping away the evil gang, let's get those old guys moving and strike first!"

The Bodhisattva Man hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Brother Jin, so many of us are injured right now, shouldn't we stall for time? He's a prosthetic doctor, after all."

Gao Jin coldly replied, "A dead person can be resurrected, but if a prosthetic doctor tampers with your body, can you tell?"
