Evolution game, nothing more than that!

Yamasaki An frowned slightly and expressed her doubts.

"Because we are still one step away."

Yi Shen said:

"Tell the truth to the people and completely destroy the trust foundation of the Sibyl System in society!"

……

So, a few hours later—

The Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, who was feeling overwhelmed by a series of events, had just walked into his office when he suddenly found a stranger sitting in his seat.

No, it shouldn't be said to be unfamiliar, because he had seen this face many times in the past few days - on the wanted poster.

It was Yi Shen!

"police……"

He immediately wanted to shout out loud and turned around to run away.

However, both the sound and the footsteps stopped abruptly before they actually started.

The minister found that he could not move!

He didn't notice that the shadow under his feet had extended into a thin black line, and the end of the line was connected to another figure in the corner of the room.

Mai Sakurajima, she imitated the "Shadow Binding Technique" of the Nara clan in Naruto and succeeded for the first time!

Not only the limbs, but also the vocal cords are fixed, making the patient unable to move or make any sound.

The minister suddenly felt despair and thought he was doomed this time.

But unexpectedly, Yi Shen said these words to him:

"Don't worry, Minister. We bear you no ill will. In fact, we are here to bring you a great achievement—a great achievement that will make you a hero in the eyes of the people and possibly even catapult you into the position of Prime Minister!"

Chapter 144: Escaped Fragments of Consciousness, an Unknown Future

When Yi Shen and the others saw the empty scene of the safe zone again, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

It's finally over!

This mission can be said to be the one with the most hidden traps among all the missions the three have experienced.

Just the word games played on the mission objectives are enough to be called insidious!

Who would have thought at the first time that the so-called "destroying the Sibylla system" would not only mean destroying the system itself, but also destroying the social system built on this system?

But fortunately, they did it in the end!

First, they destroyed the Sibyl System, and then destroyed the digital life that secretly controlled everything. This last step depended on the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare whom they had previously approached.

In the Prime Minister's memory, this minister was the most upright and morally sound of all the ministers. At the same time, he was not lacking in enterprising spirit. He perfectly combined personal ambition with the dedication of a public servant. He could be considered the best bureaucrat - in a positive sense.

However, this type of person is also the hardest to be tempted, so in the eyes of the digital life and the former prime minister, he is at the bottom of the list of ministers qualified to succeed the prime minister.

Therefore, when Yi Shen and others told him the secrets of digital life and past prime ministers, he was not confused by the so-called immortality like most people, but directly expressed his uncontrollable anger.

If the existence of the Sibyl System can be said to be turning harm into benefit, turning the dregs that society originally did not need into tools that benefit society, then the existence of those digital lives is a complete lie and manipulation of the people and society.

He could not tolerate the existence of an immortal, self-proclaimed "God" who secretly controlled the entire country, and he could not tolerate being fooled and deceived.

The minister only calmed down a little when Yi Shen told him that the server satellite where these digital lives were located had been destroyed by them.

It was only then that he realized that the space-based weapons attack that occurred the night before was actually caused by their destruction of the satellite where the digital life was located.

"So, what is your purpose?"

He asked this at the time.

"To liberate this closed nation manipulated by the Sibylla system and the 'god' behind it, and to restore the vitality of this stagnant society, can you accept this?"

Yi Shen replied.

"So you're coming to me now?"

the minister asked.

"Yes, we know you. We know you're an upright and ambitious person. So, now there's an opportunity before you that will both satisfy your inner righteousness and allow you to advance even further. Tell the people the truth about all this and fundamentally negate the order of the Sibylla system. And you, as the warrior who single-handedly shattered the lies, will gain the support of the vast majority of the people. With such overwhelming public support, is there any problem in having you become Prime Minister?"

Yi Shen said this.

The minister thought about it for a long time and was finally convinced by these words.

Indeed, telling the truth to the public can not only realize the justice in his heart, but also allow him to take a step forward, killing two birds with one stone!

What's even better is that he happens to be the best person to do this - because the department that manages the Internet is under his Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare!

So, after Yi Shen and the others left, the minister ordered the restoration of the network, and at the same time issued an announcement in the name of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare about the truth about the Sibyl System, digital life, and all previous prime ministers.

Moreover, because it was an official release with pictures and truth, its credibility was much stronger than the "false information" released by "unknown people" like Yi Shen, and it was accepted by the vast majority of people almost immediately.

And just five minutes after the information was released, Yi Shen and his team were finally judged to have completed their mission and left that world.

Time goes back to the present, just like last time, after the three returned, a picture popped up in the void and began to play a review and summary of this mission as well as its future evolution.

As for the review part, the three of them just glanced over it and didn't pay much attention to it. Their attention was all focused on the future evolution.

They saw that after they left, the people were unable to accept the fact that they were being ruled by a group of criminals, and that there was a group of immortal "gods" above their heads secretly controlling the entire society.

Coupled with the unease accumulated from the previous days of Internet outage, a large number of people took to the streets to protest, demanding the complete abolition of all systems and laws related to the Sibyl system, and holding those related to digital life accountable.

While some disruptions were inevitable, like some taking advantage of the situation to buy things for free, the police's efforts ultimately kept the situation manageable. Incidentally, here, Yi Shen also saw the police officers from the original plot. Having lost their "rulers," they donned full protective gear, wielded batons and riot shields, and took to the streets to confront the criminals who were wantonly disrupting public order. At this point, they were no longer divided into supervisors and enforcers; they were simply labeled police officers!

In addition to the protests, the people did not forget the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, which exposed all this, especially the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, who is considered by the vast majority to be the only candidate to succeed the Prime Minister of the country and a truly "honest, brave and conscientious" official.

This overwhelming public opinion cannot be ignored even in a country like Japan that does not have direct elections.

As expected, in the emergency general election a few months later, he was successfully elected as Prime Minister with the highest vote rate within the party and ascended to the throne of Prime Minister.

This is the end of the scene that Yi Shen and the others saw.

But what they didn't know was that in that world where time still flowed forward, an unusual thought suddenly popped out of the thinking module of an abandoned household service robot -

Who… am I? I’m… Yamamoto… No, Suzuki… Or no, Kishida… No, I’m… all of them. I’m… the Prime Minister of Japan!

It remembered, it remembered everything. At the moment before the satellite was about to be destroyed, the many digital lives in the server had to transmit their personality data back to the ground as quickly as possible in order to survive. They just found a carrier with the right frequency and installed it.

Unfortunately, due to bandwidth issues, the data link that could originally upload an entire person's consciousness data in an instant was unable to transmit so much consciousness at the same time, so that in the end, each digital life only transmitted a part of its own data.

After these chaotic and fragmented personality data entered the thinking module of this abandoned robot, they went through a long period of piecing together and integration, and finally recently they gained the ability to think and regained their "self".

However, it is difficult to say that this "self" is truly a "self". It is a mess of fragmented consciousness from many personalities, and only one thought has become the fulcrum supporting the existence of this consciousness - the desire for power!

It was for this reason that after waking up, it gave itself a new name, "Prime Minister". This was both its deepest desire and the foundation of its existence.

However, when it tried to reconnect to the Internet and learned the current situation of the country, it knew that it had lost everything it had in the past.

Identity, status, and power have all disappeared with the overthrow of the Sibylline system.

【I must... take everything back! 】

It makes such a declaration in its heart.

The story of this world has not ended, a new story is about to unfold, but all of this has nothing to do with Yi Shen and others who have already left.

Chapter 145: Inventory of Harvest, All Equipment

"Let's see what we have gained this time."

Yi Shen said this after reading the review and evolution of the previous mission.

As he finished speaking, a panel popped up at the bottom of the screen, showing three cards.

The two girls also came over to see what was out this time.

The first card has a pair of glasses drawn on it, which seems to be some kind of prop equipment.

Looking at the name below, it is indeed [Equipment Card: AI Glasses].

According to the description, this is a pair of glasses equipped with artificial intelligence, and it can also connect with the wearer's mind through a non-contact brain-computer interaction system. The user can control it with just thoughts, and can also quickly enter various information into his or her brain like downloading files on a computer, which is more convenient than "quantum speed reading".

In addition, users can also highly combine the computing power of artificial intelligence with their own thinking, just like the "Sibylla System" in this mission, integrating man and machine into one, perfectly combining the advantages of both the human brain and the computer.

"Is this... similar to the artificial intelligence glasses Iron Man wears in the Marvel movies?"

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but say this.

"They're just similar in appearance. The glasses in the movie are essentially just a personal computer interface. The real thing is the supercomputer inside Stark Corporation."

Yi Shen said:

"But this is different. Judging from the description, it seems like they've crammed an entire swath of artificial intelligence into such a tiny pair of glasses. It also incorporates technologies like rapid learning and human-machine integration. I can't imagine how much advanced technology is packed into it!"

"...After all, it's a reward from the Evolution Game. Just like Xingchan's airdrop summoning gun, it's something that breaks common sense!"

Sakurajima Mai commented.

"Too."

Yi Shen thought of the airdrop transport plane in Van Helsing's mission that seemed to come from another dimension, and nodded in agreement.

The evolution game can summon something as big as an airplane from another dimension, so it’s not surprising to have such AI glasses this time.

He turned his gaze to the next card.

The second one is also an equipment card, [Equipment Card: Destroyer]. Looking at the picture on the card, it is a sci-fi style gun that is similar in style to the "Dominator", but longer and larger.

Looking at the description below, this gun is indeed derived from the same origin as the "Dominator" and can be regarded as a more powerful version of the latter.

It abandons the non-lethal mode that uses anesthetic needles and the lethal mode that causes organisms to explode in the original "Dominator", and instead directly uses the destructive mode that emits high-temperature plasma as its basic attack mode - this is probably the origin of its name "Destroyer".

Its power is much greater than the destruction mode of the "Dominator", and it can switch attack gears according to different needs, or enhance penetration, or increase the damage range, or increase the range to adapt to a variety of different targets.

However, in Yi Shen's team, they are not short of this kind of direct-fire individual firepower. Both Yi Shen and Sakurajima Mai have stronger means of attack.

In other words, Yamasaki An, who is relatively more inclined towards support, is more suitable for this gun, which can make up for some of her shortcomings in attack.

Looking at the third card, it is still an equipment card, and it is also a firearm.

[Equipment Card: Satellite Cannon Summoning Indicator]

That's its name.

"Is this used to summon space-based weapons to attack?"

Yamasaki An couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"It seems so."

Sakurajima Mai clicked on the description below the card and read:

"This equipment can only be used once per mission. To use it, you need to calibrate the target using the pointing laser. During calibration, the target cannot move, and the laser irradiation must last for at least one minute. After one minute, the target will be locked. Pulling the trigger summons a high-energy beam strike from the sky. The attack duration is equal to the calibrated irradiation time, and the maximum duration cannot exceed five minutes..."

"Tsk, it can only be used to attack fixed targets!"

Yi Shen made a somewhat dissatisfied "tsk" sound.

From the description, it can be seen that this satellite beam cannon cannot be used against flexible and mobile targets, which narrows its scope of application a lot. Basically, it can only be used to attack fixed fortresses or individuals that are huge and difficult to move.

In addition, the restriction that it can only be used once per mission makes the timing of its use extremely critical. It must be used at the right time, in the right place, and against the right target.

"It's better than nothing. It's still a powerful weapon after all!"

Sakurajima Mai is not as greedy as Yi Shen. With such an ace that fell from the sky, even if it can only be used once in a mission, it may help them a lot at any time.

After looking at the three cards, the next thing is naturally how to distribute them.

In this regard, Yi Shen's team is still very harmonious, without any quarrels or disputes.

After a brief discussion, the three of them decided on the ownership of the three pieces of equipment.

First is the AI ​​glasses, which are owned by Yi Shen.

After all, his power comes largely from the knowledge he has acquired, and this pair of AI glasses can help him quickly learn and absorb large amounts of information, and give him powerful calculation capabilities, allowing him to quickly transform knowledge into power.

In addition, this AI can make up for his lack of hacking ability, so that he will not be helpless in the face of a network controlled by the enemy like in the mission that just ended.

The only concern was whether Yi Shen's electromagnetic abilities would affect the hardware of the AI ​​glasses. However, after using them, he realized his concern was unnecessary. How could such a high-tech gadget, packed with so much advanced technology, be afraid of a mere electromagnetic interference? Even if he directly bombarded it with an electromagnetic pulse, the most destructive to electronic items, it had no effect. It was truly a product of Evolution Games, a true masterpiece!

Then there is the satellite cannon summoning indicator. This powerful weapon, like the airdrop summoning gun, can only be used once per mission. The final decision was made to be controlled by Mai Sakurajima.

The reason is simple. Possessing the ability to erase her presence, she can complete the one-minute calibration process silently without the enemy noticing.
