Volume 13: The Lights in the Sky Are All Enemies Chapter 9 The Light of Cognition
“Um, you…”
After taking a look at the man who was indeed there, and then looking at the man who was communicating with someone in the distance, Li Lin felt that he might be a little dazzled.
"I'm sorry, are you talking to me now? Or are you talking to someone else? I can't be sure whether you are going to communicate with me or someone else ."
"Oh, is it difficult for your species to understand communicating with so many people at once?"
The man said with some doubt:
"I have 167 auxiliary brains in my body to help me think, so I can communicate independently in 167 ways and interact with my mind at the same time. My image may be very strange in your filters, but it's the same. In my eyes, you are all the same, but the dynamics you show are a little weird, but this does not affect communication, right?"
"I think it shouldn't have any impact... If everyone is seeing something familiar, it shouldn't affect the communication between each other. Although it's really strange from my perspective, it should be fine from a general perspective..."
Taking another look at the people communicating in the square, Li Lin indeed found something unusual.
It wasn't just the short man in front of him, the others were in the same situation. Many people had different numbers of avatars with the same appearance chatting with others, and some were even communicating with themselves. If we extend the idea of judging individuals by their intellect, Li Lin felt that those people who were arguing with the same face might not be schizophrenic, but for others, this was indeed within the scope of normal communication.
From this point of view, the university is really good. Everyone communicates with ordinary humanoids, and the ones that exceed the standard are just giants. Because of the large number of them, it can be regarded as one of the public docking interfaces, so there will be no special embarrassment or discomfort.
Although the square created by this cognitive filter looks normal, you can always find many strange things when you look deeper. For example, some people are in one place when communicating, but they feel that they are everywhere. Some people seem to have a broken mind. They often appear in a moment during communication, disappear after a few words, and then go to another place to communicate with people, and then come back. Some people are like shapeshifters, changing into other people's appearances from time to time, asking and answering questions by themselves, and then changing into another appearance, which looks extremely scary.
"Are you originally from a university? There are indeed different places there. From the perspective of a wide range of intelligent life, it is indeed a very good place, but for someone like me who is special, I can only work alone there. Or apply for a humanoid interactive interface or something. But the composition of that kind of existence characteristics is really too complicated, I don't understand it at all. In comparison, I feel more at ease here in Holy Light."
"Huh? Did I just mention college?"
"You have already thought about it. When you think in this hall, it means you speak it out. At least that's what I perceive. Thinking in this place is language. I think it should be considered common sense. Didn't your guide say anything about it?"
"No, he was just a concept of a hero. He didn't tell me any of these things."
Li Lin shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Because the middle-aged man only gave him a cognitive filter and said stay tuned, and then threw him over, so Li Lin knew nothing about the relevant common sense.
The short man looked at Li Lin with some curiosity, but after getting the confirmed news, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"No? Since you've come here, it means you've definitely been selected into a class. Generally speaking, you would say something like this, right?"
"The second-level Life Garden never told me anything like this. I was completely confused when I came here. The guide just left, and the subsequent narration was also mysterious and from a mystical perspective, which didn't give me much room to understand. I don't even know what state I am in now. Am I still in that square? Or have I arrived somewhere else? I have no idea."
"The Garden of Life? Ah, that is indeed enough."
The short man thought about it, nodded to himself, and reported Li Lin's achievements easily as if he knew them all.
"After all, you have proved the completeness of the Holy Light and captured and killed the last traitor. I had a similar plan before, but it was too dangerous and there was no guarantee of success. Now that you have proven the completeness by killing the corrupted godhead and winning back the ancient relics, you are indeed a second-level person."
"…I always feel like I'm very famous. How come everyone knows me, but I don't know anyone at all. What's going on? Am I famous here?"
"Yes, he is indeed very famous. He destroyed the earthly kingdom of the Great Demon of Madness, killed several demigods, and destroyed those unknown monsters in the Black Forest. To be honest, I don't know what they are because of the Existence Erasure, but I think they must have done bad things. The most important thing is that he completely located the Day of Decay and defeated his existence. He also brought back the experimental holy artifacts of our previous generation in the ghost ship and made many contributions to the subsequent cause. In comparison, I am nothing. I am still at the seventh level."
Seeing Li Lin nodding with some envy, the short man seemed a little disappointed when he mentioned his background, so Li Lin hurried over to comfort him. He casually asked who this man with countless brain stem tissues was. Soon, the short man adjusted his mental state and said to Li Lin with a smile:
"You ask who I am? No problem, An'goro. The Hive Mind."
"...????????????"
"Yes, the Hive Mind is me."
The short man reached out and shook Li Lin's hand with a sincere expression on his face.
"I am the leader of the hive fleet of the Dionysus Cluster, the master of seventy trillion swarms, and the will of the hive, An'goro. This is my name. From now on, we are comrades-in-arms. Let's work hard together."
"…What? Oh, oh."
Let’s do our best.
Facing the first person he had dealt with in this Quality Plaza, Li Lin stretched out his hand with a numb expression and shook hands with the short man.
He finally understood why Holy Light insisted on using a cognitive filter, because the universe was really vast, and there were really many different races that wanted justice. Well, all kinds of different species, when all those species, as numerous as stars, gathered together, it was really hard to say what to say.
