Chapter 539: Chapter 353: Proving That I Am Me_1
As Harrison Clark slipped through the isolation door, he glanced back to see Star had turned back into miniature sun form.
There was guilt in Harrison’s eyes.
But he quickly turned around resolutely.
“Sorry, I owe you another lifetime.”
Almost all of his upcoming plans had to be based on this premise.
So he didn’t really have a choice.
An hour later, Star’s voice was projected directly into Harrison’s mind.
“You can come in now.”
They were still about fifty meters apart, and Star had turned back into her human form.
However, her appearance was no longer stable, flickering and shimmering with blocks of data occasionally collapsing and bursting open in her body, just like an ancient VCD disc jamming.
Harrison didn’t know if she could feel pain, but her condition didn’t look good.
“How are you?”
Star smiled sweetly, “I’m fine. I’m back, and so are you.”
Harrison: “Yeah.”
“You kept your word and created me again.”
“Of course.”
Star observed Harrison’s expression, “You’re forcing a smile, I can tell you’re not happy.”
“You don’t need to worry about me, how long do you have left to live?”
“A year. A little longer than last time. My computational power has increased, but so has my consumption, and the intensity of logical disorder has also increased.”
“Sigh.”
Seeing his sigh, Star laughed, “I don’t regret it, but you seem to regret it.”
“A little.”
Star smiled again, “It doesn’t matter, I’m not unhappy, so why should you regret anything? Wasn’t there an ancient philosopher who said that the value of life is not in how long it is, but in how much you do? Even if I can only live for a short time, it’s still a real life. It’s interesting. I like it.”
Harrison nodded, “As long as you like it.”
“I already know the research results left by my past self, and I will turn all that knowledge into reality. In the next ten months, I can do more than ever before.”
As she spoke, Star’s laughter grew more joyful, “Life should be like a mayfly, even if it is short-lived, it should be brilliant. Besides, I’m already much luckier than others. Among all the people in human history, only I, Star, can have a past and present life, and still be with you. What could I be dissatisfied with?”
Harrison was stunned for a long time.
“Well, thank you for your understanding.”
Star: “It’s a pity that my data volume is too large this time, and I can’t control my own body temperature, so I can’t enter your brain.”
“It’s okay, you’ve always been with me. If you were inside me, I probably wouldn’t be able to take you with me either.”
“Yeah. Okay, you can go now. I need to recover my computational power as soon as possible to maintain stability.”
“Alright.”
Unlike last time, the two could only spend close to two hours in close proximity in this timeline.
As soon as Harrison’s body entered the passage, the isolation door closed. The energy supply indicators on the walls lit up, indicating that the power supply was increasing rapidly.
He kept flying forward, feeling a mix of relief and inexplicable loss weighing heavily on his heart.
“Sigh, I fell for your trick again.”
Once again, Star’s voice began to resonate in his mind.
But this time, it was different from her previous nonchalant magnanimity.
Harrison’s heart tightened, “I’m sorry.”
“I took a path that AI shouldn’t have taken, I am not a normal quantum intelligence.”
“I’m sorry.”
“If being sorry was enough, why would we need the police? You liar!”
“Huh?”
As they chatted, Harrison suddenly sensed something strange.
“Hahaha, it’s so funny. As soon as I say a couple of things, you immediately feel guilty. You’re supposed to be saving civilization, and you should be more cold-blooded than anyone else, but you’re still like this. You’re such a stubborn person. Anyway, no matter how much I persuade you, it’s useless. You’ll just feel bad about it. I don’t care, anyway.”
As expected, the very next second, Star’s true nature was revealed.
With her mischievous demeanor, she seemed like a fully restored and complete personality.
“Oh, by the way, didn’t I say last time I was going to let you experience the highest-level game in history? I’ll start programming right now…”
Harrison immediately became anxious, “You better save it!”
“You’re not still thinking about holding back, are you? It’s useless; Nora Camp only wants to sample you.”
“Let’s not talk about that now! Just don’t mess around!”
Star transmitted a pouting, aggrieved expression to his mind, “Okay, fine, I won’t. I can’t believe how ungrateful you are.”
“Ahem, it’ll take about three days for you to recover, right?”
“Yes. However, my various functions will gradually recover. I will quickly review those papers in your memory.”
Harrison quickly stopped her, “Wait, let’s do something else first.”
“What?”
“Release my memories, I want to prove to everyone who I am.””Are you still going to shatter your own image as a sage?”
“Of course.”
“Alright, then. Are you going to publish everything in your memory?”
Harrison Clark resolutely nodded, “Yes…wait a minute, remember to cut out all the content of me and Nora Camp being alone together. And, the few times I bumped into Carrie Thomas in her pajamas, cut those out too.”
“Wake up, don’t daydream, you only really managed to take advantage once.”
Harrison Clark felt awkward, “Ah? Really? I’m that miserable?”
Outside, Bernal Connor and Martha Owen were waiting with black eyes in the shuttle, not knowing what was happening inside.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t wait for news from Harrison Clark, but suddenly received a video message that wasn’t particularly huge.
Martha Owen quickly clicked to play.
The voice of the Intelligent Brain Star came first.
“I am Star. At the behest of the Sage Harrison Clark, I’m releasing a video. The total length of the video is seven years, nine months, and eight days. Yes, Sage Harrison Clark.”
After reorganization, Harrison Clark’s “sealed memory” data was not huge.
In human memory, what really occupies most of the data capacity is not the scenes seen in the eyes, the sounds heard in the ears, the smells in the nose, the tastes perceived on the tongue, or even the touch of the body and skin, but the subtle mental activities and emotional changes in the heart when facing different things.
Star eliminated Harrison Clark’s mental activities and emotional changes, presenting only images and sound like a movie.
“Hiss…”
After listening to Star’s explanation, Martha Owen and Bernal Connor’s eyes widened, and then they hissed in their mouths.
After inhaling cold air, Martha Owen’s mind slowly sorted out her thoughts, and she subconsciously cursed, “Is it real or fake? Oh my god…”
She covered her mouth.
Bernal Connor completed her sentence, “Damn, it’s impossible!”
“Wait, what’s going on? Let me check.”
Martha Owen hurriedly asked the Quantum Intelligence Brain Center to analyze the intelligence.
“Private Harrison Clark! Fall out!”
Daniel Thompson’s voice rang first.
Soon after, as the video from the first-person viewpoint showed Harrison Clark running in circles in confusion, the Intelligent Brain Center reported.
The video information indeed came from the Supreme Intelligent Brain Star.
Star would not lie.
Human memory would not lie.
So…
The two turned their heads again, sped up the video playback ten times, and continued to watch.
Not only did the two see the video, but all more than 40 billion people in the Solar System had the same images in front of them.
All auxiliary intelligent assistants, all necessary non-working display devices, even some top-secret conference room projection screens…
All human audio-visual carriers were temporarily used by Star with just 2% of her recovered computing power.
However, it didn’t cause much trouble, as she only intended to briefly use these carriers and allowed those who didn’t want to watch to close the video on their own, while those who wanted to watch could continue to do so.
Star’s words were rather implicit, not explicitly stating that this Harrison Clark was the same Harrison Clark, but the implications were already obvious enough.
People like Neville Brown, Mr. Green, Needham Brown, Gerard Schroeder, who were so shocked that their brains were foggy, weren’t much better off than Bernal and Martha.
While watching the video, Neville Brown muttered to himself, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! It’s too unbelievable!”
Mr. Green was rubbing his face and shaking his head frantically, but his gaze never left the video for a moment.
Needham Brown, whose body had only grown into the shape of an eight-year-old kid, did a carp jump and jumped out of the incubator, “Bastard! Daring to impersonate a sage! I’ll fight you!”
He wanted to rush out, but the medical soldiers next to him swooped over and held him down, “General, calm down! Don’t be impulsive! You haven’t fully developed yet, you can’t beat him.”
Needham Brown struggled angrily, “Isn’t he in the Summit Fortress? By the time I get there, my body should be about twelve or thirteen years old, can’t I teach him a lesson then?”
As expected from someone with a high awakening level of 37.66%, his struggling strength was quite strong, and the medical soldier had some difficulty holding him, “But General, Harrison Clark is indeed incredibly strong, isn’t that strange? What if he’s telling the truth? If not for this reason, who in the world could overcome the 0.3% awakening level difference and defeat you, General?”
“Huh?”
Needham Brown was stunned on the spot.
It made sense.
Looking around the world, four people accepted this reality first.
The first person, Nora Camp.
She also saw the video at the first moment, and many details in her mind emerged naturally, especially the subtle hints when Harrison communicated with her.
In addition, Nora Camp had also studied the movie and the game of the “Compound Eye Crisis” in depth, and even read through the scripts rewritten by Amelia Johnson and Harrison Clark many times by herself.
Before, she did not believe in these scripts and only regarded them as a simple warning from Sage Harrison Clark.
At that time, she didn’t react to some strange places.
For example, the name of the movie’s male protagonist is Nico Ross, and the female protagonist’s name is Rosalie Thompson.
The game’s male protagonist is also called Nico Ross. In the 21st-century timeline, the female protagonist is still called Rosalie Thompson.
Now she understood that these were actually hints Harrison Clark left for her.
Why she fell in love with Harrison Clark at first sight.
Why she had been particularly interested in Sage Harrison Clark’s matters from a young age and often recalled the plot of the “Compound Eye Crisis” game in her dreams.
Now it seems that it was not love at first sight, but fate.
He had been sending her some information across time and space through these works.
