Summoning Themis was something he had no choice but to do.
Lan Mu did not know anyone else's consciousness that could guarantee the transmission of information across worlds. In any case, his many transformations could not do this.
Themis's quantum soul was very special. Summoning a part of it did not mean that it was split into two, but that it existed in two places at the same time.
This was the quantum state. The consciousness of the two worlds were not separated. Although it looked like they were in two different worlds, they were still together.
Themis's quantum soul could receive information at the same time. Teaching her how to summon here was equivalent to teaching her on the other side. The range of real-time transmission was even greater than the Zerg's mental network. Quantum information ignored distance.
In comparison, Lan Mu's Blood Breed clone was the worst. The clone had to transmit the information to him before it could be passed to the main consciousness.
The Zergs, on the other hand, were more advanced. However, there was also a process of "informing". They communicated through the Spiritual Network and could achieve instant sharing. However, they would still be blocked. Back then, the Zergs in Lop Nur had completely lost contact with Elise.
Therefore, the best choice for cross-world communication was Themis. As long as she was not dead, the summoning would succeed.
A second later, Themis's unique consciousness appeared. It was a strange stream of data that could not be seen with the naked eye. Lan Mu could sense it directly through Data Manipulation.
However, the next moment, the data stream dissipated and became a chaotic signal that echoed between heaven and earth.
Lan Mu was stunned. Themis's soul could maintain its quantum state because of that unique container. Without that container, it could not exist independently. However, what he summoned was not a soul but consciousness data.
Through this data, Themis could appear in any electronic device. Lan Mu just forgot to provide him with a signal receiver.
He quickly turned into an Autobot and dismantled a few parts from his body to quickly create a microcomputer.
"Now it's done." Lan Mu turned back into Asari and installed the microcomputer into his ear.
Themis's data stream found a place to stay and immediately entered the microcomputer.
Lan Mu did not give him a camera, but he had a headset to talk to him.
He said into the headset, "Hello, comrade!"
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Themis said.
"I'm just a transmigrator, but I'm from Earth." Lan Mu concealed his identity.
Themis said, "Time travel? This is indeed not Earth. Other than this computer, there are no other electronic devices in this world. What is your purpose? "
"I just want to go home. I need the help of my compatriots …" Lan Mu said.
He explained the situation in detail, although most of the parts about Lan Mu were concealed and deceived.
"I can't help you …" Temis said.
Lan Mu said, "You can do it! You're the only one who can send the information back. "
"No, that's not what I meant. Firstly, I don't have a body, so I can't do what you said. Secondly, I'm currently imprisoned, so I can't connect to any network on Earth, "Themis said.
Lan Mu frowned, Themis's situation was worse than he had imagined.
Now, Steel Creed City was just a pile of scrap metal. Without Themis as the best vessel, all he had was a container to wrap his brain.
Obviously, Otto had sealed the container. No matter what method he used, Themis had already lost her freedom on Earth. She couldn't connect to any electronic devices, and she didn't have a body either. Giving her the information would be useless.
Themis was an imprisoned soul. She couldn't even protect herself, so how could she help him send the information?
After Lan Mu found that this method had failed, he was very disheartened.
"Fine, maybe CANC will be able to rescue her soon. I'll ask again later."
Lan Mu said to the computer, "When you can connect to Earth's network, remember to inform me. I can only think of other methods now."
Themis said, "Wait … can you summon my brain over?"
Lan Mu thought about it. In theory, it was possible, but what was the use of summoning her brain?
"What do you want to do?" Lan Mu asked.
Themis said, "Someone imprisoned me for a secret in my brain. He's trying to use some method to forcibly read my brain, and I have no ability to resist."
Lan Mu said, "You don't want that secret to be discovered, so you want me to bring your brain here?"
Themis said, "It's a win-win situation. You can summon my brain. On one hand, you can help me keep the secret. On the other hand, you can make the other party give up and let me go."
"Let you go?" Lan Mu was stunned.
Themis explained, "My soul is separated from my brain. If you bring my brain here, my soul will still be there. I've set a thought seal on myself that I can't reveal the secret. The only way he can steal the secret is to forcibly read my brain's memory area. Losing my brain means that I'm no longer worth imprisoning. There's a certain chance that he'll let me go. This is your only chance. "
Lan Mu looked at Themis strangely and said, "A certain chance?"
"That's right. If he doesn't let me go, I can't help you. If you don't do this, the chance of you returning home is zero. If you do this, there's at least a ten percent chance. "Themis said.
Lan Mu shook his head silently. He knew that Themis was tricking him.
After being tricked once, Lan Mu already knew that this guy was very cunning.
Themis's quantum soul came from that special container. Once his brain left the container, he would die instantly. Back in the physics laboratory, his brain had already been destroyed. If not for the container keeping him alive, his brain would have been a pile of mud.
After leaving the container, that pile of mud couldn't even forcibly read his memory.
How could there be a ten percent chance? It was basically zero!
This was purely tricking the silly boy! If Themis knew that the person summoning him was an old acquaintance, he would definitely not say this.
"What kind of secret is it that makes him want to die?"
Themis was indeed seeking death. There was a shocking secret in his brain. Now that he had no ability to resist, his brain was being forcibly read. Lan Mu's summoning couldn't save him, but at least it could help him commit suicide.
His composition was too complicated. The brain, soul, and container were three in one, each independent and mutually sustaining. Lan Mu couldn't summon them all together. He could only summon Themis's soul because the quantum state was unique in the world, and he didn't know how to select the container.
"Should I kill him? This guy almost killed me. Should I fulfill his wish? "
Lan Mu considered the pros and cons. From his point of view, it would be best if Themis died because he couldn't help Lan Mu.
But what kind of secret was it? This made Lan Mu extremely curious.
Lan Mu thought about how to deal with Themis. First of all, the secret couldn't be known by Otto, so he had to bring Themis's brain over.
But this way, the secret would be as Themis wished, and no one would know.
"What's the Ideological Stamp?" Lan Mu asked.
Themis said, "The Ideological Stamp is a shackle. It's an absolute creed. It's like the Root Program for artificial intelligence. For artificial intelligence, if the Root Program forbids killing, then artificial intelligence definitely can't kill."
Lan Mu narrowed his eyes. This thing was similar to a soul contract, but it wasn't a shackle like the Law Domain.
The soul contract was a restriction. Unless one could control the Law, there was no way to break it.
But the Ideological Stamp was just a 'consciousness lock' that he implanted in himself. It might not be impossible to break it!
"If there's a way to preserve his consciousness, then destroying his brain means that only I can obtain the secret. In the future, I'll find a way to break the Ideological Stamp!"
Lan Mu smiled.
If there was any ability that could allow the consciousness to live forever after the body died in reality,
It would be the Eternal Dream!
"I promise you, but I have to make sure that your consciousness won't die with your brain."
Themis hurriedly said, "It won't …"
"Don't say anymore. I won't blame you for lying to me. Anyway, I'm going to start summoning your brain."
Lan Mu interrupted Themis. This made Themis silent. He seemed to realize that the person in front of him was very familiar with him.
Transforming into a Nightmare, Lan Mu connected a dreamline to Themis.
In the blink of an eye, his consciousness was pulled into the eternal dreamland, and he became the only resident of heaven. There, he could have his' body 'that he hadn't had for a long time. However, the surrounding environment was under Lan Mu's control.
The European-style villa had everything, but an invisible barrier enveloped the villa. He had no freedom.
With the Ideological Stamp, Lan Mu couldn't get the secret out of him. Just as he was about to leave the dream.
Themis suddenly said, "You've summoned all of my consciousness?"
"Hmm?" Lan Mu checked carefully and was shocked.
Themis now had a complete consciousness!
The so-called consciousness was an independent personality. Although Themis was very special, it didn't mean that he had a split personality. He still only had one main consciousness. Multitasking was just a special ability of his soul.
And now, the separated consciousness in reality was actually reunited in the Eternal Dream under the power of the dreamline!
He was originally a human. After leaving the unique vessel, he actually returned to human consciousness and became an ordinary resident of the Eternal Dream.
Lan Mu suddenly became excited. He said to Themis, "Listen! I'll send you back now. Tell me what happened! "
With that, he kicked Themis out of the dream.
In the past, Lan Mu pulled people into the dream. After kicking them out, they would be like those people who played the Apocalypse game. Their consciousness should return to their body.
If he really sent them back, it meant that Lan Mu could use this method to complete cross-world communication in disguise!
As expected! Lan Mu returned to reality. The computer told him, "Everything has returned to the beginning. I've become a quantum state again …"
"Ha!"
Lan Mu knew that he had succeeded. He had a way to return to Earth. He could even use the same method to go to other worlds …
The power of the dreamline could cross worlds! When the dreamline was connected to him, he could still enter the dream even after going to Shambhala. This was the characteristic of the dreamline that ignored space.
It was a bridge between virtual reality and reality. For the time being, he hadn't found anything that could block the dreamline.
Summoning a small part of a human's consciousness would cause that bit of consciousness to vanish and lose the ability to think. It was just a small part of the 'empty consciousness'. Previously, Lan Mu needed him to have the ability to communicate, so he chose to summon Themis.
But now it was different. With the power of the dreamline, the small part of consciousness that was summoned only needed to be used as a medium to force the target into the dream. The consciousness of the two worlds would then converge in the virtual world outside of reality.
What surprised Lan Mu even more was that after being kicked out of the dream, the consciousness could possibly return to the soul's body directly!
Wherever his consciousness was dreaming, he would wake up there!
