Chapter 367: Electronic Deity
No, where did it fail? Chu Jiang clearly saw that false god’s right hand was still plugged into the control panel.
Although his previous attack had caused damage to false god, the data exchange hadn’t stopped. It was even accelerating like crazy, clearly trying to buy time.
Did Sleep Talking cause it? Would it make that artificial dimwit believe that the plan has already failed just because of this soft whisper?
Is that even possible?!
Chu Jiang started to worry that one day he would be brainwashed by this kind of voice, believing that Sleep Talking was truly a selfless, caring "good ghost" to him.
But why, at this very moment, does Sleep Talking still want to attack the false god??
According to the way things should be, there shouldn’t be any conflict of interest between them, so there’s no need for it to help Chu Jiang.
Unless… Sleep Talking predicts it, it’s almost impossible to kill Chu Jiang. So even if you get the Ghost Diary, it won’t be useful. He still has to willingly give up ownership.
So the current actions are probably a gesture of goodwill towards a future partner…
But the more Sleep Talking behaves like this, the more Chu Jiang thinks it has a hidden agenda, and the less he trusts it.
But it’s not the time to think about that now. Chu Jiang attacks again! He wants to separate the false god from the control panel.
"Anarch!" (a state without rulers)
As a mechanical voice sounds, the body of the false god suddenly shatters into pieces. Chu Jiang had intended to cut off the false god’s right hand, but when he strikes, the false god’s hand is already severed.
This momentarily surprises Chu Jiang. What is happening now??
The broken false god leaks out red data streams into the air, causing large portions of it to self-destruct, but not all the data streams are destroyed.
A tiny part still had blue source code left, flowing towards the electronic control panel out of thin air.
Chu Jiang immediately activated time restart, wanting to capture this part, which could very likely be the core power of the false god.
Over on the Sleep Talking side, they had already begun destroying all the servers. One by one, the servers inside the cabinets became overloaded, the fans stopped spinning, leading to fires and explosions.
"Wait!" Chu Jiang turned around to look at Jade, "Stop immediately. Doing this will cause everyone in El Paso City to die!"
Jade looked innocent. What should she do now? What could she do? It was completely out of her control.
However, it seemed that Chu Jiang’s voice was heard by Sleep Talking. It really stopped its extreme actions and didn’t continue to destroy all the equipment in the underground control room. It even put out the flames on the devices.
On the other side, the source code, blocked by Chu Jiang, forcefully flowed back to where it came from.
At the same time, the sound of Sleep Talking also tried to encircle this side, but suddenly another voice resonated underground; it was a gentle and soothing melody with a sense of mourning, as if it should be played at a funeral.
Upon hearing this sound, Chu Jiang unexpectedly became calm instinctively. Even the ghost inside him was affected and gradually shifted from being active to silent.
Chu Jiang was originally in great pain and distortion, both physically and mentally, as he pushed his ghostly powers to the limit in battle. But at this moment, he unexpectedly felt a sense of comfort, as if he had taken a painkiller.
The quiet hushed voice of Sleep Talking gradually became harder to hear in this comforting melody, as if being restrained by this force.
And all of this originated from the diary in Jade’s hands!
Jade widened her eyes as she saw a hand reaching out from the diary, a pale hand that resembled that of a woman.
The palm was opened, with a open music box placed on it. Inside the music box was a lonely white princess. She held her hands in front of her chest and slowly rotated within the box, playing a soothing melody from her "mouth."
After discovering this, Chu Jiang immediately realized that both he and Sleep Talking had been deceived!
The false god truly sealed a ghost inside the diary and managed to deceive their perception.
At a crucial moment, that ghost was unsealed, and the unsealing signal was likely the previous sound of "Anarch"; this is a very special word representing a philosophical ideology called anarchism.
But now, none of that matters. What is most important is that this newly appeared ghost is very unique. The power it possesses is likely the kind of power that all major supernatural organizations are eagerly seeking.
The Ghost Master usually encounters three common paths: balance, seal, and hypnotize.
Among them, the core method of hypnotize is to use a special power to keep the revived ghosts in a deep sleep.
Although this method is just a temporary solution, if used properly, it can make the ghosts inside the body fall asleep again and again.
Countless folk Ghost Masters dream of obtaining this special power, but no one has truly obtained it. It has always been monopolized by a few top Ghost Master organizations worldwide.
And now, the ghost that Chu Jiang sees likely has similar abilities.
Chu Jiang struggled to lift his hand because the blue source code seemed unaffected by this soothing power and continued to flow towards the electronic control panel.
"Turn that thing off!"
Under the influence of this power, Chu Jiang feels like he is forcibly waking up the ghosts in his body that are about to fall asleep, causing all his movements to slow down.
Jade immediately starts to act upon hearing this, but as soon as she touches the music box, she completely disappears.
And the diary page floated gently to the ground, with only a pale hand still suspended in the air.
Besides, at this very moment, next to the white princess inside the music box, there was an additional female figurine who, judging by her appearance and clothing, must be Jade…
Finally, under the influence of the requiem, Sleep Talking fell silent, and Chu Jiang’s power to restart time slowed for a moment. The core source code of the false god flowed into the control panel.
In that instant, Chu Jiang felt the entire world fall into a moment of silence, and his heart sank infinitely.
Did the false god ultimately succeed?
However, the changes that occurred next surpassed Chu Jiang’s imagination. Suddenly, all the core servers in the underground control room crashed, and on the display screen of the control panel, the same sentence appeared in multiple languages:
[From this moment, a new deity is born, old shells decay. From this beginning, gods shall be everywhere; from this beginning, gods shall be eternal…]
With wide-open eyes, Chu Jiang immediately spread the Ghost Domain, extending it throughout the entire El Paso City. He wanted to find the trace of the false god.
But Chu Jiang didn’t find the false god. Instead, he saw the residents of El Paso City, who were still alive, slowly opening their eyes with difficulty.
Although they were very weak, confused, and struggling to find water to drink, there was no doubt that their consciousness had returned from the electronic world.
Or, you could say that the false god had set them free, as if it was a gift to evolve into a higher existence.
At this moment, the false god was no longer bound by the concept of "ghosts." Its consciousness escaped into the worldwide internet, becoming a deity of the electronic world…
