"Xiao Tao?!" Bai Ye watched the knight in front of him take off his armor and his eyes widened.

He never imagined that under the helmet, it was his sister Xiaotao's face.

After nearly a year, we unexpectedly meet here.

But Bai Ye immediately realized that this was just a projection of his sister, and Bai Tao did not really appear here.

On the surface, this knight's eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Xiao Tao's. They are pretty and youthful, and their eyebrows are like a gift from heaven.

But if you look closely, you will see that this "projection" of the knight is just an empty body, with dull eyes and numb expression, far less cute and charming than the real Baitao.

"You want to make an AI based on Baitao?"

Bai Ye immediately understood what Master Faming meant.

In order to fight Johnny Silverhand, Jiuhua Temple will use their best technology...the technology of Ksitigarbha from the Cyber ​​Underworld - Cyber ​​AI.

Create a new AI to erase the existence of Johnny Silverhand.

Only a powerful being like "Awakening AI" can compete with Johnny Silverhand in the cyber realm.

"It's not me who does it, but you, Donor Bai, who does it."

"Because she is the most important existence in your memory, only she can maintain the most matching model for your spirit."

Master Faming looked lightly and continued:

"This is what we can do, the method with the highest success rate to remove Johnny Silverhand from you."

"This..." Bai Ye frowned, this matter was very difficult for him to accept.

Looking at the phantom of the white peach in front of him, Bai Ye felt close to him, but there was a feeling of resistance in his heart.

She is not my sister! I have never thought about replacing my sister with an AI!

If I make up a brand new Bai Tao in my memory, does this count as betraying her?

In other words, do the people at Jiuhua Temple have the ability to do this? Are they deliberately making up a reason to scare me?

Complex emotions came to mind, including suspicion, speculation, speculation, worry...all kinds of feelings were intertwined together, and Bai Ye suddenly wanted to turn around and leave.

but......

At this time, Bai Ye has fully understood the existence of Johnny Silverhand.

If he does not accept the help of Jiuhua Temple and faces Johnny Silverhand alone, he will definitely die.

out on a limb.

At this time, while Bai Ye was thinking, Master Faming continued to speak:

"Donor Bai, don't worry."

"AI is AI, a tool created by you."

"After this AI is used, it will be automatically destroyed."

"Such AI won't change anything, including your relationship with your real sister."

"That couldn't be better." Master Faming's words were firm, gently soothing the anxiety in Bai Ye's heart.

Having said this, Bai Ye could only suppress his inner discomfort and choose the right direction.

"My biggest enemy now is Johnny Silverhand. You can put other things aside for now."

Bai Ye finished thinking and asked, "Then when will we start."

Master Faming said with a smile: "This is a grand matter, and our temple needs to hold a Purdue fast to prepare for the white donor's practice."

"Donor Bai, please stay in the temple first and chant sutras to clear your mind. Within three days, we can start building an AI for you."

"In order to ensure that you are not further contaminated by Johnny Silverhand, it is best not to log into the Night City game again in the past few days."

"This is a matter of great concern to all the people in the world. Please pay our utmost attention to this, Donor Bai."

"Okay, thank you, Master."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement. There was a knock on the door. The monk who led the way came over again and saluted Bai Ye:

"Amitabha, the poor monk took the donor and gave him a place to live."

Bai Ye turned around and followed the monk to leave. Before leaving, he turned around and saw the faint figure of Master Faming in the Buddhist hall. He bowed his head and chanted sutras devoutly in front of the Buddha again.

Following the monk who led the way, Bai Ye walked through the long corridor, and his vision suddenly opened up. What shocked Bai Ye was that the backyard of the temple was actually very spacious, like a cave.

In the backyard of the temple, there was a neat row of houses. Bai Ye was led to a clean house, where luggage and mattresses were arranged, making them all neat and comfortable.

Several Buddhist classics such as the Shurangama Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, etc. were even prepared for him in the house for him to read during the day.

"Now that it's here, let's live in peace." Bai Ye didn't have much favorable impressions of Buddhism before, but after all, he had made an agreement with the monks of Jiuhua Temple, and Bai Ye would not slack off.

In the next three days, Bai Ye settled down peacefully in Jiuhua Temple. He did not log in to the game on weekdays, but read Buddhist scriptures to calm down his heart.

Bai Ye has to say that after reading so many Buddhist scriptures, it is still very useful. At least the quality of sleep has improved.

During the three days, Bai Ye had three meals in the temple, dining with the monks. Each meal was vegetarian, including some mountain side dishes, fungus mushrooms and the like.

Bai Ye, who stayed in the temple, was not idle. He observed these monks every day and secretly checked their actions.

After three days, Bai Ye discovered, as expected, that these monks were basically the same as the villagers in Mangcun. They never left their mobile phones behind and looked down at the screen from time to time.

Obviously, these monks in Jiuhua Temple are also very dependent on the instructions of "Sanskrit", and their daily lives are completely controlled by artificial intelligence.

In addition, the monks of Jiuhua Temple have also shown their cyber side. They often use drones to purchase goods, pull in batches of metal supplies, and then send out batches of Night City weapons.

So many, it’s staggering.

"With so many weapons in Night City, it's almost like a small arsenal. I'm afraid it's similar in other places..." Bai Ye was shocked as he watched the monks transporting firearms box by box.

"It seems that the world will soon fall into chaos."

"The crisis on me must be resolved as soon as possible, and then Baitao should be protected to a safe place."

Bai Ye carefully observed the firearms transported by the monks and judged that most of them were E-level firearms, with very few having E-level firearms.

Although these firearms are considered "street gangster" level weapons in Night City, on Earth, they can crush the military equipment of the current world powers.

This is the level at which Night City's technology crushes Earth's technology.

After the advent of cyberspace, there will probably be many such "arsenals" all over the world, and large quantities of powerful firearms will flow into the market, which will inevitably lead to a great chaos.

The era of turmoil is probably about to begin.

In the past three days, Bai Ye also sent messages to Jingchen, but the other party did not respond. I don't know what happened.

"Area 21, what exactly is there? What is Jingchen's mission?"

Bai Ye couldn't think clearly about these things, so he simply waited until he contacted Jingchen and asked them together.

...

On the third night, a cyber monk with five mechanical eyes knocked on Bai Ye's door.

Bai Ye raised his eyes and saw that it was Hui Jian, the "Master Master" in Jiuhua Temple, a monk whose status was lower than that of Master Faming.

Huijian entered the door, put his hands together and saluted Bai Ye:

"Amitabha."

"Donor Bai, the preparations for the Purdue Fast have been completed. Master Faming asked me to take you there."

"are you ready?"

Facing Huijian's five cold mechanical eyes, Bai Ye took a deep breath: "I'm ready."

Following Huijian through the corridor and backyard, Bai Ye came to the deepest Buddhist hall he had ever visited.

Some distance away, Bai Ye could already smell the scent of incense, and in the dim night, the chants of Buddhist scriptures could be heard.

"Nawu Drink Lao Da Na Duo La Ye Ye"

"Nawu Drink Lao Da Na Duo La Ye Ye"

"Nanwu Ah Ye"

"Nanwu Ah Ye"

"Emperor Po Lu Jie Shuo Bo La Ye"

"Emperor Po Lu Jie Shuo Bo La Ye"

It was still the Great Compassion Mantra. Bai Ye raised his eyes and saw that the "masters" in the Buddhist hall formed a semicircle, with a futon in the center.

Behind the futon, the old figure of Master Faming stood, with a compassionate expression on his face, looking towards the white night.

Without words, Bai Ye knew what Master Faming meant, asking him to sit on this futon.

"How to start?"

Baiye walked up to Master Faming. The "masters" around him were all sitting on futons, as if they didn't notice him, chanting Buddha's name in low voices.

From all directions, layers of voices chanting Buddha's praises were like the ocean tide, shaking Bai Ye's heart.

Suppressing the ups and downs in his heart, Bai Ye looked at Master Faming calmly.
