Evolution game, nothing more than that!

This also made Yi Shen think of another thing——

"Is the Sibyl System really the highest governing body of this country?"

He asked this question to his two teammates.

"This……"

Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other and quickly realized the problem.

"Yes, if the Sibyl System is truly the supreme governing body, then now that we have destroyed it, who is operating the space-based satellite weapons to attack us?"

Sakurajima Mai murmured to herself, knowing that there must be another dark hand behind this.

"And this also explains why, even though we destroyed the Sibyl System, the mission remains uncompleted."

Yamasaki An said:

"I'm afraid, from the perspective of the Evolution Game, simply destroying the Sibyl System, the human brain array, doesn't count as mission accomplished. As long as the true ruler, or ruling body, whatever it is, still exists, rebuilding a second or even third Sibyl System won't be difficult at all!"

"Yes."

Yi Shen nodded:

"I'm afraid the Evolution Game is playing a trick on us here. The so-called 'Sybilla System' refers to both the human brain computer array we destroyed and the current ruling order of this country—everyone's future path is predetermined by the system upon adulthood. There's no risk, no uncertainty, and everyone can achieve peace of mind and happiness. It seems perfect, but it's also lifeless and suffocating to the point of despair."

In other words, the mission objective of "destroying the Sibyl System" is not as simple as destroying the brains of those with the immunity physique, but rather requiring them to completely subvert the ruling order of this country!

"Overthrowing a country... can we really do it with just the three of us?"

Yamasaki An felt suffocated just by thinking about the grandness of this goal.

Is the mission objective given by this evolution game really correct? Is this something that just three of them can accomplish?

"That's not impossible."

Yi Shen said:

"The simplest thing is to just spread the truth about the Sibyl System. If anyone knew that the people who controlled their lives and judged whether they were qualified citizens were a group of heinous criminals, no one would be willing to follow this ridiculous order anymore."

——Previously in the underground facility, Yi Shen and his companions, in addition to fighting with the Sibyl System, did not forget to record videos to preserve evidence. The three of them carried mobile phones with cameras turned on, recording the impact of the pool full of human brains from various angles. As long as they edited them and posted them online, it would definitely cause an uproar and deal a heavy blow to the current ruling order.

However, when Yi Shen and his friends turned on their computers and wanted to upload the video, they suddenly discovered that the network was restricted!

It seemed that the real ruler hidden behind the scenes also knew what Yi Shen and the others might do, and took the simplest, crudest and most effective response one step ahead - cutting off the Internet!

Chapter 138 The existence of the mastermind behind the scenes

"You actually used this trick!"

Looking at the prompt "Network Signal Abnormal" on the computer screen, Yi Shen couldn't help but click his tongue. The mastermind behind this reacted so quickly!

"What should I do? Now I can't even spread the truth through the Internet."

Yamasaki An frowned and couldn't help but look at the two teammates beside her, wondering if they had any other ideas.

"The internet blockade can't last too long. If it continues for too long, the people will definitely become unbearable and might even start protests and riots. That would cause even greater disruption to social order than we would."

Sakurajima Mai bit her finger and analyzed:

"They're probably arranging personnel right now, preparing to catch us before this happens. After destroying the evidence and killing us, the culprits, they'll restore the network and say it's a 'technical overhaul' or something like that. In a few days, no one will care anymore."

"So you mean we should keep delaying until the network has to be restored?"

Yamasaki Anzu asked.

"That might be one solution, but it's also possible that even if the network is restored, the other party could leverage their control over the network to delete everything we post in seconds, or use even more absurd conspiracy theories to muddy the waters and suppress public opinion."

Yi Shen nodded:

"I don't want to be so passive, so maybe we can try a different approach—directly find the mastermind behind this, eliminate him or them, and destroy the entire system from the very top!"

"But where can we find the mastermind behind this? We don't even know who they are."

Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai both gave him puzzled looks.

"Putting aside where to find it, the identity of the mastermind behind this isn't difficult to guess."

Yi Shen said, and asked the two girls a question:

"Think about it. Although the Sibyl System is the governing body of this country, it is ultimately a man-made facility. This means that before it was created, this country still had its original rulers. So where are they now?"

"……right!"

Upon hearing this, the two girls looked at each other and immediately revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Indeed, the Sibyl System is a man-made thing after all, and it must have been developed and manufactured under the orders of the Japanese top leaders.

However, according to the standards of the Sibylla system, none of the politicians and high-ranking officials of the old era could meet the standard of a "qualified citizen", and most of them might even reach the killing line of 300 for the crime coefficient.

Will such a person confess his crime and accept death when the new era arrives?

It’s impossible even if you think about it!

The greater possibility is that they collectively left a backdoor in the Sibyl System, giving themselves immunity from the law. They may even have made modifications similar to the Sibyl System, separating the brain and replacing the body with a prosthesis, continuing to hide in the dark side of society and quietly controlling the entire country.

This can also explain to some extent why, as the incarnation of the "god" of the Sibyl system, He Shengrangzong's position in the government is just the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Because in essence, the Sibyl System is just a guard dog, a tool to help the real rulers control the entire country and maintain social stability!

"But if that's the case, it would be even more impossible for us to find them, right?"

Yamasaki An said so.

"That's not entirely true."

Yi Shen said:

"Originally, these behind-the-scenes masters could control everything through the Sibyl System, but now that the Sibyl System has been destroyed by us, they must personally step in if they want to control the situation again. This is our chance!"

"Too."

Mai Sakurajima nodded beside her.

"Then we should pay attention to the government or military's movements next. If there's any major movement, we should go find the head of that department and interrogate them to find out who they were in contact with, and then follow the clues all the way back to the source."

"Although the details are not so simple and crude, the general idea is correct."

Yi Shen nodded.

Then he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity that my current abilities aren't as good as Misaka Mikoto's. I can't directly hack into electronic facilities and networks through electric currents. Otherwise, things would be much simpler."

Although he had been studying and accumulating knowledge during this period, his studies were mainly focused on biology and electromagnetism. In addition, he also learned about mysticism from the Van Helsing character card. However, he was still a layman when it came to information technology.

To the extent that, even though he may not be much worse than Misaka Mikoto in terms of computing power, there is a huge gap between him and her in the application of this aspect.

Yi Shen secretly made up his mind that after this mission was over, he would make up for his shortcomings in this area!

But all this is something to be considered later.

Now, they have to find out the masterminds behind this!

……

Nonata, the office of the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare.

The minister at the time was standing in front of the French window, staring at the night view outside in a trance.

As a bureaucrat who could hold this position under the order of the Sibylla system, he was a truly upright man and had always been proud of living in such a near-perfect utopia.

However, today, he learned a horrible truth - the Sibyl System, which was regarded as a "god" and "prophet" by the people including himself, was actually a computing array composed of hundreds of human brains!

Yes, after Yi Shen and his men left, the reinforcements that arrived later not only collected the corpses, but also naturally did not miss the opportunity to explore the huge pit.

They followed the passage that Yi Shen had drilled out and arrived at the underground space, and then saw the true form of the Sibilla system.

Although the intelligence was blocked in time, there were too many people who saw the news, and the news eventually spread inevitably. At least officials at the ministerial level basically knew the truth of the matter.

Even in subsequent further investigations, they learned the origins of those brains. They turned out to be antisocial murderers who had committed many horrific crimes in the past!

This shocking fact can be said to have directly shattered the three views of many people. If a mental evaluation was conducted on these people at this time, it would probably be immediately detected that the mental state of many people had deteriorated at this moment.

What is even more chilling is that right after this, an order came from the Prime Minister's Office requiring all officials who knew about the matter to remain silent and not leak any information. Any violation would result in immediate execution.

——In order to ensure the execution of this order, the Prime Minister's Office even sent many armed personnel, dressed as bodyguards, to accompany every informed official.

Outside, a large-scale Internet outage and search operation has been launched. Although the army has not yet reached the point where it directly takes to the streets, a large number of drones with intelligent recognition capabilities have been dispatched to search throughout the city. They must catch the criminals who caused all this before the emergency backup of the Sibyl system comes back online.

Chapter 139: A "Cordial Meeting" with the Prime Minister

"Are you sure the order came from the Prime Minister's Office?"

"That's right. They didn't even bother to hide their intentions. It was as if they were telling us, 'Come on, attack the Prime Minister's residence.'"

In response to Yi Shen's question, Sakurajima Mai said this.

Just before, she used her ability to eliminate her presence to sneak into several government office buildings, including Nonata, and then easily learned relevant information from the conversations between ministers and officials and others.

——The Prime Minister's Office, which had previously had little presence, suddenly took charge of the situation after the Sibyl system collapsed, issuing orders including disconnecting the Internet, conducting city-wide searches, and sending bodyguards to protect politicians.

It is really abnormal to do it in such a high-profile manner and without any concealment.

"This looks like a trap!"

Yamasaki An commented.

"I'm afraid it is indeed a trap, but it is also the only clue we can find at the moment."

Yi Shen said this.

"So what should we do? Should we go check it out?"

Yamasaki Anzu asked.

"I'm definitely going to go."

Yi Shen said:

"But we can't go there with such fanfare as before. We have to be more secretive and cautious, and we have to be fully prepared."

After all, with a satellite in the sky that can launch terrifying light beams to attack, the three of them will definitely be attacked immediately if they show up.

Even if they can handle this level of attack, who can guarantee that the mastermind behind this won't come up with other more terrifying weapons?

So, Yi Shen's clone came in handy again, and he once again flew into the night sky wearing the Five Visions All-Powerful Glove, preparing to conduct reconnaissance near the Prime Minister's Office.

……

Downing Street, the Prime Minister's Office.

A middle-aged man in good spirits was sitting behind his desk, frowning and thinking about something.

Needless to say, he is the nominal supreme ruler of this country, the Prime Minister.

Of course, just like the emperor before World War III, the position of prime minister has become almost non-existent in this era when the Sibylla system controls almost everything. Although he still has great power in theory, he has few opportunities to use it.

However, this time, when the Sibyl System was destroyed and could no longer "serve" the entire society, the Prime Minister, whose presence was minimal, finally stepped forward and took over the power of the country again.

Orders were issued one after another from his hands, and messages were transmitted back from various departments one after another. In less than a day, he regained control of the situation, allowing the state machinery that had fallen into chaos due to the paralysis of the Sibyl system to resume operation, and strictly blocked the spread of news that might cause social unrest.

There is no doubt that he is a very capable man.

But even such a capable person looked gloomy at this moment.

"Are you making things difficult for us?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the room. The Prime Minister immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a walkie-talkie placed on the table not far away, and the voice came from it.

"…You guys?"

The Prime Minister immediately realized who the voice came from.

"Heh, you lunatic who dared to destroy the Sibyl System, don't you dare to appear before me in your true form?"

He said sarcastically.

However, Yi Shen responded with a faint mockery:

"Appearing right in front of you, and then being bombed by a satellite in the sky? Or being hit in the face by a bomb under your feet?"

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's expression froze.

He was a little surprised. It was not surprising that the other party knew that there was an armed satellite aiming at this place, but why did they know the existence of the bomb under his feet?
