Chapter 3899 Core of Consciousness
Although there are some guesses, it is a pity that the words "Holy Eyes Prayer Gathering Array" in the text column cannot be further expanded, and no more information can be learned.
We can only give up temporarily.
"Forget it, let's complete the cage mission first." Angel didn't hesitate. After completing the mission, he would definitely know the information about the entrance to the dark corner.
Thinking of this, Angel first looked at the mission objective of the "Cage".
"Mission Objective 1: .../Change the commands of this body and release Luliana's consciousness."
"Mission Objective 2: .../Change the commands of this body so that Doros has absolute control."
After reading the mission objectives, I checked the instructions to see if both mission objectives could be completed at the same time.
One of the instructions caught Angel's sight.
"Command 13: A consciousness must remain in the "human machine". It cannot be completely unconscious. (Uneditable)"
From this instruction, it can be seen that Yueyan should have considered the situation that someone may release "human-machine" consciousness in the future.
Faced with this situation, Yueyan’s answer is the same as before. As long as the human-machine operation can be guaranteed, Yueyan does not mind ceding some rights to latecomers.
This can be considered as a disguised permission, which can release Luliana's consciousness.
It seems that the two mission objectives can indeed be completed at the same time.
After confirming this fact, Angel did not hesitate and went straight into the editing page.
First, he removed Luliana's main consciousness authority and promoted Dolos from the secondary consciousness to the main consciousness position.
Then, Angel edited another instruction: "There is and can only be a main consciousness in the human machine."
At this point, 99% of the "cage"'s mission has been completed. As long as the body's commands are reactivated, Luliana's consciousness will be driven out of the human body.
However, Angel did not activate the new instructions immediately, but continued editing.
This time, Ingres edited a lot of content, covering all aspects.
For example, the first item of the guardian's duty was "to stop all those who enter the dream layer". Now, Angel edited it to "to prevent outsiders from entering the dream layer with restrictions".
It gives some room for maneuver.
After all, in Angel's vision, the Dark Corner dungeon will definitely be opened in the future. At that time, challengers from the Dream Crystal Origin will also enter the Dark Corner.
If the original instructions were to "stop and kill" the challenger, it is estimated that no challenger would be able to pass the man-machine test.
Therefore, this instruction must be modified.
In addition, Angel also modified some instructions. For example, the main consciousness of the human-machine could not communicate with outsiders before, but now Angel has changed it to be able to communicate.
Some instructions with very absolute wording have also been slightly modified. For example, "definitely" was changed to "possibly", and "absolutely no chance of slowing down" was changed to "rare chance of turning around"... and so on.
Finally, Angle also modified the method of entering hidden instructions.
Before, it was necessary to make Doros and Luliana unconscious and defeat Yuanchu to enter the hidden command. But now, because Luliana is about to be released and Yuanchu has been destroyed, this hidden command must not be left any longer and must be changed.
Angel's modification plan is also very simple: when Doros falls into a coma, use the power of nightmare to merge into the eyebrows of the human-machine to trigger the hidden command.
As for the power of nightmare, only Angel currently possesses it in the Dream Crystal Origin.
So, in a sense, as long as he has control over this hidden command, the "human-machine" is basically equivalent to half of his subordinates.
After doing all this, Angel reactivated his body commands.
Of course, before activating the body command, Ingres did not forget to change the version number.
"The first version of the "Human-Machine" core instructions" became "Version 1.0 of the "Human-Machine" core instructions".
With the activation of version 1.0, the first thing Ingres saw was the changes in the text column.
The "Cage" side quest is shown as completed.
A large amount of information flashed across the text column.
However, Angel did not immediately look at the changes in the information in the text column, but looked at the "human-machine" lying on the ground.
When he activated the new command, a ball of white light appeared between the human-machine's eyebrows.
This ball of light seemed a bit illusory and weightless, just like a light feather, floating up and down on the human body.
With every rise and fall, white spots of light radiated outwards, eventually disappearing completely.
As the light spots dissipated, the light group became significantly dimmer than before.
Angel looked at the gradually weakening ball of light and had already guessed its origin.
"Luliana..."
"No, why did Luliana's consciousness core separate from her body?"
"It's you? It's you! You did it!"
At this moment, a voice came into Angel's ears.
Angel glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and saw that the "human-machine" had awakened at some point. It propped itself up and sat up, staring blankly at the light ball that dissipated in the air, its pale golden eyes filled with surprise and anger.
There is no doubt that the human-machine, Dolos, has discovered the abnormality of his body and the departure of Luliana's consciousness.
Facing Dolos's question, Angel ignored it and just muttered in a low voice: "Woke up twenty minutes earlier..."
According to the previous text column, Dolos actually has 20 minutes to wake up. Now he wakes up earlier, maybe because the body command version is updated, and it becomes the main consciousness?
"Hurry up and save her. If the core of consciousness is not carried in time, it will completely dissipate!" Dolos looked at Angel and called out anxiously.
However, Angel did not make any move.
Seeing this, Doros could only try to save Luliana himself, but all the joints of his body were damaged. ——Original Chu originally wanted to use the ether core to repair his body, but before it was completely repaired, Angel took away the core.
In this situation, Dolos couldn't even raise his hand to touch the ball of light.
Looking at the light ball that was constantly dissipating, despair flashed in Doros' eyes...
"I regret it..."
"Repent!"
Before today, Dolos had never thought about becoming the main consciousness of the "human machine" because when Lord Moon Eye created this body, the main consciousness was set with many restrictions and had to bear many responsibilities. But now, he is determined to take the position of the main consciousness because Luliana has gradually broken through the mental barrier and can read his heart. In this case, he must seize the main consciousness to prevent Luliana from discovering the truth.
But who knew that while he became the main consciousness as he wished, Luliana's core consciousness was separated from the human-machine.
This made it extremely regretful.
"What do you regret?" Angel's voice reached Dolores' ears.
Dolos' eyes were filled with resentment: "I regret that I shouldn't have met you, and I shouldn't have told you anything about Lulena... I would rather let Lulena know the truth and hate me, than let Lulena leave me."
Angel: "So you really want to save her?"
Dolores nodded without any hesitation: "Save him! Save him!"
It didn't even have time to restrain the anger in its eyes, which made its eyes contain both hatred and flattery, which was funny and ridiculous.
Angel: "What if the price of saving her is to exchange your own life?"
Dolores was stunned.
If it really wanted to exchange its life for Luliana... would it be willing?
Doros had never thought about this problem before, because he never thought he would end up in such a situation. But now, this problem is really in front of him.
In particular, Angel's expression looked serious.
It requires an answer, a choice...
Dolos's mind flashed through all the memories of his time with Lulena: it was chasing, Lulena was resisting, it was angry, Lulena was terrified.
It set fire to and burned everyone at the wedding scene to death, and...it found Lord Mooneye and resurrected Luliana.
A large number of memories flashed through Dolos' mind like a kaleidoscope.
Does it love Luliana?
Love it.
Since it is love, then sacrificing my life for her doesn't seem to be a big deal, right?
"So, are you willing to sacrifice yourself in exchange for Luliana's survival?" Angel's voice came into Dolos' ears again.
Dolores looked a little dazed, "I should be willing."
"should?"
"I do." Dolores said clearly this time.
Angel chuckled and said, "Since you are willing, let's exchange."
Exchange? Dolos was a little confused and didn't understand what Angel meant, but the next second, he saw a light blue fist hit its face hard.
Dolores fainted.
Angel looked at the unconscious Dolos, then waved his hand gently and summoned the ball of light in the air.
"Lulena's consciousness core: a consciousness core that was condensed by a special method by an unknown existence. It can only be possessed by a "human machine"."
"Attention: After leaving the "human machine", your consciousness will gradually dissipate, but you can use etheric energy to reinforce it and delay the speed of dissipation."
"Countdown: 00:00:28"
"Countdown: 00:00:27"
"..."
Angel placed Luliana's consciousness core in the "Hand-Bundle Flower", close to the ether core inside.
Although this ether core is bound to the "human machine" and can only charge the "human machine", Luliana may have been the main consciousness of the human machine for many years and was also recognized by the ether core.
So, when Luliana approached the Ether Core, she successfully triggered the Ether Core's charging option.
"Do you want to consume etheric energy to strengthen it? Yes/No"
Angel chose to recharge without hesitation.
The next second, Angel saw the countdown in the text column rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Originally, there were only twenty seconds left before Luliana's consciousness would completely dissipate, but with the reinforcement of etheric energy, it directly turned into -
"Countdown: 24:00:25"
One charge can maintain the core of consciousness for a day without dissipating.
Each time it is charged, the etheric energy consumed is actually very, very small. If all of it is used to maintain the consciousness core, according to the energy reserve of this etheric core, it is estimated that it can last for several years, or even longer.
However, Angel didn't plan to maintain it for that long. He just saw that the countdown was about to end, so he hurried to extend its life.
And as the "life extension" was successful, the ball of light that had been somewhat dim became bright again.
"The next step is... exchange."
Yes, Angel planned to activate the body command again. This time he planned to exchange Luliana and Dolos, eliminate Dolos' consciousness, and let Luliana return to the main consciousness of the "human-machine".
Why bother?
The main reason is that Angel saw the experiences of Lulena and Dolos through "People with Stories" and felt some sympathy for Lulena.
As for Luliana, she had always wanted to die. Would she fall into pain and torment again after being "resurrected"?
There is no need to worry too much about this Ingres.
Because according to the mission overview of "The Cage", the reason why Luliana is in pain is that she cannot tolerate having another consciousness in her body, even if this consciousness is her "husband".
Now, Angel has eliminated Dolos' consciousness, and only Lulena's consciousness is left in the human body. Naturally, Lulena's pain will disappear by most.
Of course, if Luliana still shows pain after being resurrected, Angel wouldn't mind sending her to death again.
Anyway, Luliana can "speak" now, so if she is in pain, she can just say it directly.
Angel reopened his body instructions with familiarity.
Then Luliana's consciousness was placed in the main consciousness position, and Dolos' consciousness was eliminated.
Because only this one instruction was modified, Angel did not add any new version iterations and kept the version at 1.0.
Reactivate new body instructions.
The next second, the ball of light around the human body was sucked into the body by a vortex. And Doros's consciousness core turned into a floating ball of light and emerged from the human body.
Angel called the ball of light over to take a look.
It was indeed "Doros's Consciousness Core". The other text information was the same as Luliana's Consciousness Core before, and the countdown was also three minutes.
Just as Angel was contemplating the information in his core consciousness, a gentle female voice came into his ears.
"This respected...Mr."
Angel turned his head and saw that the "human-machine" sat up. Its face was no longer as ferocious as before, but became soft and calm.
Obviously, she was half human and half doll, but now she looked more graceful, with a calmness in her golden eyes.
There is no doubt that the current "human machine" is Luliana. Before, due to body commands, Luliana could not speak or communicate with outsiders, but now it has no restrictions on communication.
"You can call me Angel."
Luliana nodded: "Dear Mr. Angel, can I ask you a favor?"
Angel didn't say anything because he found that when Luliana said "request", her eyes were always fixed on "Doros's consciousness core".
Could it be that Luliana is...
"Mr. Angel, when I was in the core of consciousness, I could actually feel the existence of the outside world. So, I know what you did, and I also know that etheric energy can prolong the dissipation of the core of consciousness."
Luliana: "Can I ask you, sir, to save Dolos?"
Luliana lowered her head deeply, and her forehead touched the wet floor.
Angel: "???"
