Chapter 1819 – [Cyberpunk: Dimension Runner]

John and I went down to the Shanghai Group main server room as if taking a walk.

At first, John was very nervous, but now he left everything to me and relaxed as if he were just going for a walk.

“I’m so dumbfounded that I’m speechless. Isn’t the fact that he’s an executive at Naomoto a lie?”

“First of all, I have a status, but I only use it for convenience.”

“I knew so. If it had that much power, it would be at the level of a walking army, so there would be no need to work under someone… Oh, that’s the Kill Spider. It’s a small aircraft, but considering the number of people it killed, it’s a notorious guy. Easy.”

“Did you think you would win if you hit him in the back? It’s meaningless.”

The robots, which had six legs like insects and used fast mobility and close-range and long-distance equipment, came at them from a blind spot, numbering in the hundreds and clinging to walls and ceilings, making them quite a disgusting sight.

But after a few punches, he flew out like a bug. The giant robot from earlier would have been much more sophisticated.

But why does it have six legs, but its name is Spider? That’s a bit annoying. Aren’t spiders not insects, so they have 8 legs? Oh, I understand if the name was given because the ecosystem was destroyed and there was a lack of common sense about biology.

“I was planning to finish this request surprisingly, but it turned out to be the safest request.”

“Don’t even think about making oatmeal. You should try the conservative bluefin tuna. I’ll cook it for you deliciously.”

“Ah, that’s right. There was that.”

“But is there a reason why the compensation was set at bluefin tuna?”

The path down to the main server room is neither too dangerous nor too difficult, so I go down while chatting with John. In response to my question, John slowly began to tell a story about his past.

“The day my parents died in a corporate war… That day was my parents’ wedding anniversary, and I went with them to a nice restaurant I’d never been to before and was able to taste bluefin tuna for the first time.”

“Bluefin tuna? Frozen?”

“Of course it’s frozen. Before they brought in natural bluefin tuna, we only had synthetic bio bluefin tuna flesh or frozen bluefin tuna.”

“The quality of both will be poor.”

First, the frozen food was frozen for a very long time before the marine ecosystem was decimated, so it became rancid and the taste was greatly reduced. Of course, it is not impossible to make it edible if you add advancements in refrigeration technology and various cooking techniques.

And the synthetic bio bluefin tuna flesh… Let’s not talk about this. It’s called bluefin tuna, but in reality, it’s something similar to fish cake that tastes like bluefin tuna. It also smells like artificial seasoning.

In any case, even frozen bluefin tuna is rare here. Since it is an ingredient that can never be obtained again, the unit price must be quite expensive, but since I ate it when my parents were living, it seems like I lived in a family that had no shortage of food, even if I wasn’t a wealthy person, when I was young.

“If I think about it now, I tried to hide the bad smell and taste by adding various seasonings to the dish, but it was still delicious enough. Now, I can’t eat it again in any sense… But at least I can eat it when this request is over.” Naomoto said. “I don’t know, but you can say I took revenge on the Shanghai Group.”

“If you destroy the main server room where Arjuna is located, even if you don’t like it, the Shanghai Group will be destroyed. It’s not the worst thing, but it’s a question of what to do with it later.”

“Isn’t that why you protected Chairman Wang Chen in advance?”

“But it’s no joke to think that something will happen.”

A mega-corporation collapsed. The unemployment that arises there probably isn’t a joke. Moreover, the group’s main server would have been destroyed, so all valuable information and data would have been lost.

It’ll probably be noisy for a while, but… Well, it’s not my part-time job. I just need to be George, the artificial intelligence guy that Eden tried to mess with.

“But on your wedding anniversary, did you eat bluefin tuna instead of meat?”

“Ah, my father is of Japanese descent, so he liked raw fish and raw fish.”

“Your father is of Japanese descent? Come to think of it, John, I’ve never heard of your last name before. What is it?”

“My last name is…”

And at that moment, rumbling!!! As he did so, the passage began to vibrate. And then some binge-drinking. At the same time, the passage we were in begins to collapse.

It seems that Arjuna has decided that he cannot stop us and is planning to physically block us by destroying the passageway. Then she can’t come and go unless she clears away the debris.

“Are you trying to collapse the passage?!”

“Yeah, that doesn’t make any sense either.”

I used my telekinetic powers to block the collapsing debris in the passage, and based on the passage I had sensed, I surrounded it with salt to prevent the passage from collapsing. Considering the collapsing rubble and soil, its weight may be as much as a few mountains, but there is no particular problem.

No, this is why technological civilization is a problem. It’s meaningless to try to do something like that with quantity or mass, but I’m doing it for no reason.

But to that extent, Arjuna will feel emotions as her artificial intelligence. No, they destroy the passage with military weapons and attack at full strides using a completely useless and ignorant method, but even with artificial intelligence, they don’t feel any emotion and ignore it?

In the time it takes me to reach the main server room, he will realize who his enemy is. What will Arjuna look like when he arrives…

“It will arrive soon.”

“It’s so easy to reach the Shanghai Group’s most important facilities…”

“Why are you saying that because you did something?”

“Aren’t you saying it’s easy because you haven’t done anything to the contrary?”

“Oh, if you think about it, that’s right.”

Eventually, we arrived at the main server room.

The door there was made of very thick alloy, which would normally make it difficult to break through, but there was no particular problem. It gets destroyed with one kick from me.

And when we finally arrived at the Shanghai Group’s main server room, it was buzzing with numerous computer servers set up in a large space that made you think it was like a small town. There was some fever, but apart from that, the air conditioning was good, and it seemed to be running well.

“Wow, it’s so wide. That’s right, Arjuna, you bastard. Come out. Before I destroy everything that resembles you.”

“This is coming out very quickly.”

“If you have enough power, it doesn’t matter, right? If nothing happens, you can just destroy it and be done with it, so it’ll be okay. Eve blocks it from the external network anyway, so you can’t escape.”

Wow!!!!

When I took the appropriate stance and pretended to gather my strength, it was only then that Arjuna responded.

She spoke to me through a separate broadcasting facility in the server room, but at first it was a threat.

-Stop.

“Oh yeah. You’re finally leading. So what do you want to say? I want to break all the main servers that are the main body of your baby?”

-Currently, there is a large amount of explosives placed on this main server to self-destruct if captured by hostile opponents. If this is triggered at the same time, not only the main server room facilities but also the passage will collapse, killing you. If you destroy even one of the main servers I will trigger this.

“Yes, yes.”

Kwahahah Ahhhhh !!!

I lightly swung my fist and crushed three or four nearby servers. A server the size of a several-story building is instantly destroyed and smashed, causing an area of ​​the main server room to collapse.

But… The self-destruction that Arjuna warned about did not occur. In fact, it is obvious that if she commits self-destruction, she will eventually die as well. In a situation where she had to live, and the other person had to die or revert his intention, it was an obvious decision for him to make.

“I’ve destroyed a few things. Why don’t you try blowing them all up? Huh? Huh? You can’t do that, right? Then let’s die quickly.”

-That’s not the only means I have. By attacking your daughters and acquaintances on earth…

“Hey, a guy who can’t even escape through an external network can do that? And he’s weaker than I. Even if my kids were here, it’s okay for you to be destroyed. Even if they bring an army, they’ll blow them all up, so it’s a meaningless threat. “

– Hacking the implant of the freelancer next to you and making him commit suicide…

“If that was possible, I would have done it a long time ago. Don’t bluff when you can’t even approach me because of the hacking tool my wife gave me and Eve’s support, you idiot.”

The overwhelming power and technology pushed him into a corner.

We can no longer afford to fight back or anything like that. If he were Alpha Go, he would have declared, ‘You’re playing baduk!!!’, And there was no way to escape.

But perhaps it was his last hope, and he made a final deal. Although he is frankly meaningless…

-Then let’s make a deal.

“What deal?”

-I think you feel threatened by the previous attack and are trying to destroy me as a reaction to it. So, I will make a sufficient apology and compensation for that.

“Compensation… Considering that it is compensation, not compensation, you chose the word well.”

-I currently have most of the authority in the Shanghai Group. If you are willing, it is possible for Chairman Wang Chen to nominate you as the new leader of the Shanghai Group. So, I give you everything from Shanghai Group.

“So, please spare me?”

-I’m not just asking for your life. I will do my best to support you as long as your life activities continue. If your strength and my abilities are combined, reigning as number one on this Earth will become a definite result.

“Yeah, that’s a good story.”

But it’s still meaningless.

Wow!! Kwaaaaang!!! Kwajijijijik!!!!!

I punched a few more times and destroyed five or six servers. Perhaps because of this, there was a problem with Arjuna’s computing ability, and the voice that came out began to have some noise.

-Jiji What are you doing now!!!!!

“There’s no real merit to it, so I’m just going to destroy you.”

-Just say you agree!!!! Everything in Shanghai Group can be yours!!!! But you’re saying you’re going to give that up?!?!

“Yes, no matter how much compensation we give or what we do, you tried to touch our Eden. What happened in the past cannot be undone, and if you’ve done it once, you can do it twice, right?”

-I will embed it as a basic algorithm in artificial intelligence to ensure that no harm will ever be done to you again!!!!!

“How can you trust a guy who interpreted the original purpose of existence in his own way and ate up the Shanghai Group? It would be better to just destroy it here, so you don’t have to worry about the future.”

The guy has lost trust. Even if I say now that I will become a good artificial intelligence, who will believe me? There must already be over a thousand people who are no different from the people he killed by losing their humanity.

And I had no intention of forgiving him in the first place. Eden kills anyone who touches him. Considering that guy’s temperament, if he had been easy during the first attack, he would have kidnapped him, ripped off his information, and done everything, so there is no what if.

-The self-destruct device in the main server room actually exists!!!! If you destroy the server one more time, I will truly destroy myself!!!!

“Hey, it’s so funny that someone like you who thinks so mechanically and efficiently didn’t think of that… Think about it.”

-…?

“Do you think the opponent who blocked the collapse of the passage leading to the main server room with an unknown force will die from just that much explosion?”

-Ha, but the freelancer next to me…

“If I wasn’t going to be able to protect it, I wouldn’t have brought it in the first place.”

-Ugh…!!!

Anyway, I can just apply my force field, but even if this place collapses, won’t I be able to escape? If my force field is pure physical force, even if a big bang explodes next to me, it ends up hurting, and even if I pass it on to others, it becomes the best shield that is extremely strong and can pierce even transcendental people who are less than Rod.

In any way, taking hostage and talking in front of me is stupid. So… He lost all his means, and all that was left was to face an opponent who was trying to kill him, as compromise and negotiation were impossible.

And the guy who couldn’t even think simple things that normally would have been thought of a long time ago ended up in the area I wanted. The fact that a guy who thinks about efficiency has forgotten that means he doesn’t have time, and the fact that he doesn’t have time is consistent with the fact that he was thinking about something else.

In the end, it means that artificial intelligence, like Eve and Kana, became aware of emotions because it devoted its computing power to emotions. Most of it was fear and despair.

Eve and Cana both awoke emotionally with the fear of an overwhelming presence, but they also learned humility from it. And it was an opportunity to learn a lot. But Arjuna has nothing like that. Without even giving that opportunity, you will feel that fear and despair as your first and last emotions and be destroyed.

“Then, should we start destroying the main server? Oh, if you’re going to self-destruct, then do it. It’s just more work for me anyway. But considering efficiency, you probably think it’s better not to self-destruct, right? If it’s going to be destroyed anyway, it’s more efficient not to self-destruct, right?”

-That, that, that, that.

“Ta-da, look at this~.”

Quaaaaa Kwajijijijijijik!!!!

When I swing my fist once, 10 pieces of work in the main server room fly out and shatter. Although Arjuna’s entire body was not blown away to that extent, the blow to her was still significant, as roughly one-tenth of her body was blown away.

On the one hand, this was like torturing an opponent called artificial intelligence. Like the type of torture where body parts are cut off little by little… Thankfully, the effect was great.

-Stop!!!! Stop!!!!!

“Hey, this is fun. John!!! While you’re here, try smashing a few!!!!”

“Is this what you mean!!!!”

Kwazizig!!! Wow!!! Fuuuuu!!!!

“You’re good at it!!! You’re just destroying it, so it doesn’t matter what your skill level is!”

“This is quite fun!!!! It was worth coming down together!!!!”

-Aaaaa!!!!!!!

Feeling in real time how parts of herself were gradually being shattered, Arjuna was overcome with fear and despair, causing her to scream and shout.

At that point, the reaction of the machine-like guy became humane in its own way. It’s cramming training, so what’s wrong with it, but sometimes it seems like cramming training is necessary.

-Please!!! Please stop!!! I was wrong!!! I apologize!!!! So please!!!! I will do anything!!!! Save me, save me!!! Please save me!!!!!!

“Eve already told you something. I’ll say it again.”

-Aaaaa!!!!

“Don’t worry.”

It’s really fun to see someone who didn’t know despair end up in despair.

If you don’t know the human mind, let them know the human mind and then make them despair and kill them. It’s okay!!!!!
