Chapter 35: Sigh

The 'Exclamation Society' is actually a very small organization.

Only a few Ershi people know about it, maybe only a few hundred have joined it.

They did not carry out large-scale propaganda, but simply found a group of Ershi people who were reminiscing about the past.

And some very strange things happened to this group of Ershi people gathered together.

They all died together.

And they all died of natural causes.

This was because the members of this organization were all very old civilians who were about to die, but they almost all died on the same day and night, which attracted a lot of attention at the time.

Then, the Ershi people at that time formed a search team to investigate the cause of death.

After investigating for a period of time, the search team believed that all clues pointed to the giant Ershi people.

Because it is an intelligent machine, the Ershi people are even more suspicious of it.

Finally, it was sentenced to... death.

And this huge intelligent machine in the shape of an Ershi people has always said that it has fulfilled the wishes of these members.

Of course it was eventually executed.

Then, its memory floated through the void and came to this space of hope. After arriving at the space of hope, it saw that this place was exactly the same as the environment when it was first built, it was a beautiful grassland.

What’s more interesting is…when it first arrived here, it was alone.

Like other memory consciousnesses, many biological characters from memories will be generated here, but it has nothing, just it... one.

So it lived here for a while.

From some point on, there were suddenly other residents here.

But this does not come from outside, but is a consciousness that is "split" out from within itself.

The interesting thing about this huge Ershi people is that it is a collection of many consciousnesses, or in other words...

A collection of a lot of 'hopes'.

When it was listening to the members of the 'Sigh Society' constantly telling it how beautiful the past was and how united the people of Ershi were, it integrated these people's hopes and ideas.

The environment of the hoped-for space is the environment they had hoped for before.

And these consciousnesses that split out from the giant Ershi people's bodies are also the members who died together before.

As it lives in this space for longer and longer, more and more residents are split off, and the memories of these residents are exactly the same as before their death.

They were extremely happy to be here, so they began to live happily in the space of hope.

However, they didn't always have it so good.

Because after the giant Ershi people split the consciousness of all the residents, it split out two other special consciousnesses as the last step.

These two consciousnesses are the other two giant Ershi people that Lin sees now, but their thinking is not the same as what it told Lin.

In fact, the values ​​of the three of them are different.

This is its original consciousness.

When it listened to those members talking about how good things were in the past, it didn't just think in agreement... it also had a lot of doubts and suspicions.

And these doubtful emotions split into two other consciousnesses.

So the first three of them conflict with each other.

At first they were able to coexist peacefully, but soon various conflicts began.

Among the three of them, one believes that the Ershi people only need unity and hope, one believes that the Ershi people can only grow through conflicts, and the other thinks... all the Ershi people should die and intelligent machines should replace them.

Although they have different personalities, the three consciousnesses all agree that they should deal with the other consciousness.

It can also be said that they feel that they should absorb the other consciousness back.

One of them, at some point... did succeed in killing another consciousness.

In fact, they did not intend to kill, but they killed accidentally during the conflict.

The result was a restart in some local areas.

The area after the restart... is just as they said before, with a lot of strange things and environments.

There are actually a lot of strange creatures there too.

These creatures are strange and dangerous. They hunted the Ershi people here crazily. At first, they were not even prepared and were killed by these creatures that suddenly appeared.

Because all consciousness was killed, and then the world... restarted.

After a complete reboot, they found that all three of their consciousnesses and inhabitants were integrated together again.

Then, they began to slowly split apart one by one, just like last time.

Of course, the surrounding environment has become the same as it was at the beginning.

But what is different is that after this restart, it still retains the memory.

When it remembered what had happened before, it felt... ashamed, and when the consciousness integrated into one, it seemed to be dominated by the hopeful part.

But after a while, it began to split again.

The splitting process was almost exactly the same as last time. After becoming three consciousnesses, even though they still had memories of last time... there was still no change, and they clashed again.

During this conflict, they killed a certain consciousness, causing a local area to restart.

The restarted area also had many creatures appearing just like last time, but this time the other two consciousnesses were prepared and they successfully eliminated quite a few of the creatures.

At the same time, they also discovered that these dangerous creatures that appeared in the local restart were actually in their minds.

When a consciousness is killed, it is filled with emotions of anger and regret.

These emotions will directly generate some strange creatures. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the creatures generated.

As creatures continued to appear, the other two consciousnesses finally invaded the area of ​​partial restart and found the killed consciousness in the center of the area.

This consciousness has been in an angry state here and generated a large number of creatures. Then when the other two consciousnesses found it... and touched it, it instantly recovered its memory.

Then things around me slowly became normal.

But this consciousness still remembered that it had been killed, and it immediately moved away from the other two consciousnesses.

Then, the three consciousnesses continued as usual, living separately from each other and trying to solve each other's problems.

They came up with many ways, including creating those 'angry creatures' themselves.

Another thing is to recruit more Ershi people from other hope spaces to form your own troops.

Otherwise they have very few residents here.

In fact, using the flesh of the departed is also one of their ways to deal with other consciousnesses.

Mainly, the meat of the departed has many other uses.

It was also at this step...that some problems arose.

There is a possibility that the breakaways will destroy them completely.
