"Looks like you've discovered my identity Guhan?"
What Guhan didn't expect was that Xuan pointed this out a few seconds after Guhan discovered the dimension node on Xuan.
"Why do you say that?" Guhan asked curiously.
"I'm quite sensitive to the look in people's eyes. I can sense a person's thoughts from the slightest change in the way they look at me … Gu Han, the way you looked at me just now was filled with vigilance and curiosity … I'm afraid the only thing that could pique your curiosity is my somewhat awkward identity as a bandit!" Xuan actually took the initiative to reveal the fact that he was a bandit with just one sentence.
"Your Majesty Poseidon actually saw through it!"
Great Sun Sword Immortal asked Guhan in surprise. He didn't expect Guhan to be able to see through Xuan's identity in such a short time.
"Miss Ling, did you tell His Majesty Poseidon?" Great Sun Sword Immortal asked Liunian Ling behind him.
"No!"
Liunian Ling shook her head, "I never told him these things. He saw through it himself."
"That's strange … Mister Xuan's body has a special shielding device we designed. Only the most professional equipment can discover Mister Xuan's identity. How did you see through it Guhan?" Great Sun Sword Immortal was even more confused after hearing Liunian Ling's denial.
"Great Sun Sword Immortal, please forgive me for being direct. Is it really safe to put a Yuan Kou in such an important position?" Guhan didn't hide anything from Great Sun Sword Immortal.
"You don't have to worry about Uncle Xuan!"
Great Sun Sword Immortal didn't say anything. Liunian Ling took the initiative to say, "Uncle Xuan came to this world a thousand years ago. He has a deep friendship with our ancestor. If Mister Xuan didn't act as the strategist for our ancestor, humanity would have perished in Yuan Kou's hands a thousand years ago."
"If Mister Xuan really has evil intentions towards humanity, then he doesn't have to do anything. He just has to leave our ancestor and humanity will perish!" Liunian Ling said.
"I see!
Please forgive me! "Guhan immediately bowed to Xuan after hearing Liunian Ling's words.
No wonder, according to the historical performance, the Sword Ancestor's Fleeting Year Calendar was not outstanding in terms of intelligence except for its extremely high combat power.
But he was able to defeat Yuan Kou time and time again. There were even many battles like the Battle of Red Cliffs where the weak won against the strong.
At that time, Guhan suspected that Kenzu had an intelligent strategist. But he couldn't find any trace of this strategist. Now it seemed that the strategist was Xuan.
It was probably because of Xuan's identity as Yuan Kou that he purposely hid himself in history and didn't want to show his face in public.
"It's fine. Guhan, your thinking is normal. There's nothing to apologize for. Let me talk about the problem just now!"
Xuan paused. "Because the same thing happened to my friend Kirito, I designed a complete plan to ensure that the human consciousness won't be trapped in the game. As long as the helmet is removed, the human will return to reality."
"In order to achieve this goal, I didn't choose the more convenient and simple neural connection method to enter the virtual mode. The helmet won't come into direct contact with the human's nervous system. It only receives the human's brain waves to calculate and evolve human behavior. At the same time, it simulates the sensory response of the game by contacting some of the sensory nerves."
"Therefore, such a helmet and game should be very safe. Even if the BAT wanted to kill humans through the helmet, it would at most destroy the sensory nerves it came into contact with … With the current medical technology, repairing some damaged sensory nerves is not a big problem at all. It can be treated very quickly and effectively."
Xuan's words made Guhan even more confused. In fact, Guhan also disassembled the game helmet. After analyzing the equipment in the game, Guhan came to the same conclusion as Xuan. The helmet itself didn't have the ability to kill, nor did it have the problem of cutting off the human's brain nerves. From this point of view, it was almost impossible for humans to be hijacked by the game. They could forcibly stop the game by taking away the helmet. This was also why humans were so confident in Sword Maiden Online.
But the fact was that the players in the game had been hijacked. Up until now, Guhan still hadn't figured out how the players were hijacked. This was the most important question he came to ask Xuan.
"It's actually my negligence. I always thought that as long as the physical and physical safety was guaranteed, I could guarantee the safety of the players. I neglected the soul. I never thought that this game could be a temporary transfer station for the soul."
At this point, shock finally appeared on Xuan's calm face. This was obviously far beyond Xuan's expectations.
"To facilitate the experiment of matching humans and Sword Maidens, BAT's host computer added a biological brain. It's a brain made entirely of human brain cells. It's equivalent to hundreds of millions of times the computing power of a human brain.
It's also because of this artificial brain that the fragments of consciousness of Sword Maidens can be stored in the brain. Otherwise, no matter how advanced a mechanical or electronic processor is, it can't contain fragments of consciousness. "
"In the beginning, when creating the brain, I only considered the problem of fragments of Sword Maidens' consciousness. I didn't consider the fact that the brain can also contain human souls.
What's more frightening is that the brain will unconsciously collect fragments of human souls. This isn't an active consciousness, but an instinctive consciousness of the brain. As a brain, it's born to desire a soul. This is a biological instinct that no one can change. "
"The soul is a very strange thing. Until now, humans haven't fully understood the soul.
But we discovered that human souls can actually travel at the speed of light through the quantum network. In the process of traveling through the quantum network, the soul will unconsciously be worn out. These worn out soul fragments will all be absorbed by the biological brain! "
"If this goes on for a long time, the players who log into the game for a long period of time will either develop a nervous breakdown or become a vegetable that has lost its soul. Unless an extremely precious soul solution is used to strengthen the patient's soul, death is the only way out."
"But by the time I realized this, it was already too late.
The entire game has become the most important part of our society. The number of sword bearers doubled due to the appearance of Sword Maidens Online.
Although I reported the severity of the matter to the Sword Committee, they still decided to continue the game after a long period of evaluation. They couldn't bear to let go of the double the number of sword bearers. So I couldn't shut down Sword Maidens Online at that time. "
Both Great Sun Sword Immortal and Liunian Ling looked ashamed at Xuan's words. It wasn't hard to imagine that among the people who participated in this important meeting, the chairman of the Yanjing Sword Committee and the leader of the Liu Nian Family were among them. It was them who decided to continue the game for their own benefit.
"Even though the Sword Committee will allow the game to continue, I'm still worried. I don't think we can let this brain absorb the players' souls without limit. Otherwise, no one can predict what kind of personality will be born after the brain absorbs enough souls."
"So you decided that instead of letting the brain give birth to an uncontrollable soul with an unknown personality, why not put a ready-made human soul in it?" Guhan continued without waiting for Xuan to speak.
"Guhan, you're really smart. This was the only solution I could think of at that time!
The soul born from the brain sacrificing countless soul fragments will be chaotic and disorderly. It might even go crazy. This is a terrifying result for the game.
Instead of letting the brain give birth to an uncontrollable soul, it's better to let a soul with a complete personality control the brain first. "
"Right, Guhan, guess whose soul I put in in the end?" Xuan suddenly asked Guhan.
"To become the soul of the brain, one must be extremely loyal to humanity. One must be willing to dedicate their life to humanity. At the same time, one must be able to endure thousands of years of loneliness and not break down because of loneliness. More importantly, this soul must be able to make all humans feel at ease."
Guhan looked at Liunian Ling behind him, then at the sword in his hand. He let out a long sigh. "To be able to make all humans feel at ease, I'm afraid there's no one else other than Kenzu."
"Amazing!"
Xuan looked deeply at Guhan. He didn't expect Guhan to be able to guess this. He explained after a moment of silence, "That's right. There was no better choice than Kenzu's soul … Coincidentally, the Liunian Family had many of Kenzu's Sword Scar Soulmarks, so I asked for one from the Liunian Family. I let Kenzu's Sword Scar Soulmark enter the brain and become its master."
"However, Kenzu's Sword Scar Soulmark isn't a real soul. It's only a soul fragment at most. So, the brain is still absorbing the soul fragments of the players. I'm not worried about that, because as long as Kenzu is around, any soul can be killed on the spot."
"In the end, the soul was finally born. But unexpectedly, the soul that was born wasn't an evil and chaotic soul. Instead, it was a pitiful girl. She was so weak and cute that even a merciless person like me couldn't bear to kill her."
At this point, Gu Han also guessed that the soul that was born must be Tomina Sasakaze!
