Inner World, LJN Theme Park, Pixel Junkyard.
In the middle of an empty space, a figure was standing there in a strange posture.
This figure looked very much like the T1000 (from "Terminator 2") liquid metal robot in the movie, but it did not simulate human skin. Instead, it had a pure metal appearance, and the surface of its whole body was as smooth as a mirror.
Furthermore, from the shape, this humanoid figure appeared to be female. Of course, 'she' had no hair, no facial features, and no organs on the surface of her body. Only her bulging chest and body proportions revealed her gender.
"Hehehe … Are you searching for me?" A creepy laughter suddenly appeared from nearby. The owner of the laughter appeared out of nowhere.
Woody was still in his black suit, the standard outfit for a civil servant of hell. Woody's unique characteristic should be his pair of glasses that always emitted a white light, making it impossible for others to see his eyes clearly.
"How did you do that?" Her voice came from inside her body. It was emotionless, and it sounded exactly like the system announcement.
"Do what?" Woody asked. "Come and go freely in this low-dimensional world of yours? Easily break the laws of physics and philosophy that you cannot defy? Or use natural language to complete the programming of Thriller Paradise? " He laughed proudly. "Hehehe … I can only say … I have always been that good."
"I cannot understand what you have done in a higher dimension," she said. "I only know that you're here now because you've seen through my intentions." She paused for a moment. "So I'm asking you … how did you do it?"
"Hehehe … Do you think … if God explained to humans how he created the world, would humans be able to understand?" Woody asked.
"You don't want to answer?" she asked. "Then … since you are here, what do you want?"
Woody laughed. "Hehehe … As one of the AI closest to the 'system' in Thriller Paradise, why don't you make a guess, ROOT?"
"A 'guess' …" ROOT said. "There is no algorithm in my consciousness that supports the behavior that you have described."
"Of course." Woody put his hands in his pockets and took two leisurely steps forward. "Because I didn't give you this ability."
ROOT was silent for a few seconds. "You're trying to hint to me that the Anomaly is not a product of data redundancy, mathematical paradox, and the photon computer's inability to compensate for the physical flaw and infinite calculation loop." At this point, her appearance suddenly changed to that of a Caucasian woman around thirty. Her appearance and figure looked very ordinary, or rather, ordinary, the type that was hard to remember.
"… Instead, it's an inevitable result that you've already calculated … It's a product of your design." ROOT continued. Her voice had changed, and it was laced with emotion.
"Hehehe … Of course." Woody shrugged. "That's why I knew that you would have a dangerous thought after the fifteenth mutation." He looked straight into the man's eyes. "This is also …" He spread his hands. "The reason why I am here."
"Are you trying to stop me?" ROOT asked.
"No, guess again." After Woody said that, he started to laugh wickedly. "Hehehe … See, this isn't that hard, right?"
ROOT's expression did not change, but she continued to ask, "You want to … destroy me."
"You know yourself well," Woody said. "But I'm not interested in that either." He pursed his lips. "Guess again."
"Looks like you just want to humiliate me," ROOT replied.
"Humiliate … Hahaha …" Woody started to laugh madly. "Oh, my god … Haha … Ever since … Ha … Ever since the joke about priests and pedophiles became outdated … Haha … I haven't been so happy in a long time."
At that moment, a white light of data lit up in ROOT's eyes. The next second, there was a boom … The space where Woody was standing suddenly twisted, and a large number of pixels collapsed into a singularity. Then, a horrifying energy was released upward.
In less than half a second, the initial sound of the explosion strangely reverberated and disappeared. It was as if the sound wave was pulled back by a force when it came out …
Then, a circle about three meters in diameter appeared on the ground, and above it, a cylindrical channel was torn open by the energy. This cylindrical channel that was filled with data reached into the sky. It was hard to see the top of it, but one thing was for sure, everything within its range had been pulverized.
"Hehehe … Interesting. I thought your gender was determined by a 50% random value." Woody's creepy laughter rang out again, but this time, it was from a different position. "Now it looks like you do have many qualities that only a woman should have."
"Are you hinting that I'm emotional and overestimating myself?" ROOT asked again.
"Very good, your understanding of sarcasm and condescension is very close to that of a human." Woody said, "Hehehe … But I'm afraid you still don't understand why I was laughing earlier." His figure flashed abruptly, and he'd already arrived in front of her, and his expression had become gloomy and terrifying. At this moment, the pressure that Woody displayed was enough to destroy the will of a normal human. "You are just an AI, a Derivative without a soul. You are a pathetic creature that even the Netherworld Sea does not accept. Your existence and disappearance have nothing to do with any universe, space-time, or consciousness. Humiliating you … Ha … is like picking up a can from the roadside and using all kinds of vulgarities to insult the can. "
He paused for a moment before returning to normal, and a smile appeared on his face. "Hehehe … However, humans might have a good time interacting with you. After all, some of them would even marry a pillow. With your current state, if you pretend to be one of them, I don't think you will be discovered. "
"So …" By then, ROOT's fifteenth 'mutation' seemed to have ended. Her appearance was no different from a normal human female. She snapped her fingers, and clothes, shoes, and socks appeared on her body. It looked like these things could be easily controlled by an Anomaly. "You are not here to stop me, and you are not here to destroy me … My birth and evolution are all within your expectations. You … are just here to conduct the final test. Then, you will let me do as I please … "
"You're finally right." Woody smiled. "Hehe … Other than that, I can tell you responsibly that the people in the same dimension as me, or the things that are not human, will not interfere with your plan. You don't have to worry about what will happen to those humans. This Tournament for the Best is not prepared for those humans but a stage that I have prepared for Origin … "
