Volume 14: The Universe at 23 Degrees Celsius Chapter 23 Locked
"washing……"
Li Lin chewed on this word and suddenly felt that things might not be so simple.
"Demons can actually transform into other races and escape the punishment of Holy Light? Does such a thing actually exist?"
"So don't underestimate us, but the demon itself can't be said to be alive . Because how should I put it? Strictly speaking, it's a bit like a philosophical paradox. We can't really explain it."
The professor stroked his chin and explained to Li Lin, who looked confused:
"To put it simply, it is to transform one's own thoughts and intellect into universal data, and then irrigate it into another body. That is, uploading and loading consciousness. Because the demon soul is very unique, this is indeed a difficult subject. However, we have bypassed the soul and simply extracted it completely through one's own logic and intellect, and then transferred it into a new body through a blank soul carrier."
"The original body and soul will become dull and immature due to the stripping of intellect, but strictly speaking, this is the true body of the demon. However, his knowledge and thinking logic have been born from another body, and there is no loss at all. The soul still exists."
"But there are often some very strange mutations. For example, thinking logic will change with the change of the physical body. Some will not recognize their past selves, while others will think that is their past selves. Only a few have maintained normal thinking logic, but there are also certain deviations. So there is a big debate in the biology department, and dozens of related topics have been extended, but there will be no results for a while. So you can say that his thinking logic and knowledge are those of the former Demon Lord. He can even play that role now, but his physical body is not."
" ..."
Of course, this is unclear. Because even the real world cannot figure out whether a machine with synchronized thoughts is a machine or a human.
Once it comes to such a purely psychological and mental issue, Li Lin also feels overwhelmed and has no idea how to classify it. According to common sense, as the Tenth Crown of Holy Light, he would definitely kill the evil directly, but is this a demon, or an ordinary person with demonic knowledge and memories?
If a person's memory and intellect are removed, is he still the same person? If his memory and intellect reach another place, is he still the same person? In reality, there has been no such split due to the security law, but Li Lin unexpectedly encountered such a problem in the game. This anxious thinking made the newly promoted Holy Light Tenth Crown look uncertain, and he looked at the dark red figure that seemed to be fine with some strangeness.
"Hey, hey, is it really okay to say this in front of the person himself? And don't look at me, I don't think the life of a demon is any better. In fact, I personally think that a large part of those reincarnated intelligent guys are just pretending. The body and soul of a demon really don't match my intelligence. I'm too lazy to join in the fun. I just want to do research."
Actually, I'm really fine. It's okay even if you burn me with holy light.
perhaps.
Seeing Li Lin's eyes gradually becoming firmer, the associate professor of demonology immediately raised his hands in surrender, indicating that he was not actually a real demon.
However, this argument obviously could not convince Li Lin, but Li Lin did not have any need to pursue it further. Holy Light had cooperated with demons for a period of time before. I mean the kind of demons that harmed his enemies. Even if there were problems, at most they could just be found and killed. Holy Light had done this many times before, supporting a few demons and then making them fight each other. If it were not for the recent popularization of basic education among demons, the demons would be more cautious when asking Holy Light for support, and now perhaps half of the demon lords are Holy Light's traitors.
The Pale Temple is not the kind of thing that just kills the enemy when it sees them. After countless years of struggle and fighting, they have already sorted out a set of effective systems and plans. In order to eliminate the enemy in the long run, short-term interests can even be given up. This kind of thing is not unacceptable, not to mention that this demon is really hard to call a demon.
Can we call ourselves a person if we only have a database and past memories? Can we call ourselves a person if we add an AI logic algorithm to it? Li Lin thinks this topic is still worth considering, but at least it is not for him to consider.
"Although we are all colleagues now, you people from the Holy Light Department still can't take a joke. The last time I wore a devil costume, I was chased and hacked at three campuses..."
"You're lucky I didn't kill you."
Even the professor—although he was already the vice-president, it was still more convenient to call him professor—could not help but roll his eyes.
"The Holy Light Department is full of people who hate evil, and the mind transfer plan has also caused a lot of confusion in their judgment. You even changed into devil clothes in front of them. You are lucky that the professor and the teaching assistant didn't kill you directly. But what are you doing here? Are you here to chat?"
"No, I just came to join in the fun. By the way, the Theoretical Research Department just asked me to deliver something."
"What?"
“That’s it.”
Under Li Lin's eager gaze, the devilish associate professor smiled awkwardly and directly took out two objects that looked quite heavy from his space bag.
One of them looked high-end and classy, like a server with all kinds of sockets and connectors, and a large device flashing light. However, many of the markings on it were some characters and marks that no one recognized, making people's memory involuntarily become a little fuzzy. The other one looked more like a round sphere, and no one knew what it was used for.
"The barrier solidification instrument can be used to pull out the hidden barrier or world from the folded space. This is a mature technology. Of course, the most important thing is this thing."
Patting the round-looking instrument, a hint of mystery appeared on the former demon's face.
"But I'll keep you in suspense for now. I'll first find the hidden little thing. The follow-up personnel are still waiting."
