Endless Debt-Chapter 897 - 34: Exhaustive Enumeration (2)

Bologue was just about to say something when the Entity interrupted him.

"Don’t rush to respond.

The Entity is aware of all your information and can simulate part of your behavioral logic through computation, so it understands you and can anticipate your next moves."

The Entity paused before continuing, "How are your interactions with Aimou Yazhede going?"

Bologue was taken aback; the change in the conversation was rather peculiar.

"Over the past year, your communications with Aimou have become more frequent. From your expressions, micro-expressions, and computational simulations, there’s a mutual affection between you two. However, due to personality and environmental pressure, you’re in a somewhat confused state, not knowing how to proceed."

Bologue said expressionlessly, "Are you a voyeur?"

"The Entity requires vast data flows; collecting data is an inherent instinct for the Entity."

"Are you using the precious computing power of the sacrificed for this sort of thing?"

"Analyzing your emotional issues doesn’t consume much of the Entity’s computing power," the Entity said, "this calculation only takes a few microseconds and doesn’t even create a load."

"..."

Bologue felt like the Entity was mocking him, but from its cold demeanor, it was merely making a calm analysis. Bologue started to miss Maria, though she was a virtual personality, she was much gentler than the original Entity. No wonder the Entity would awaken Maria’s personality first.

"Are you analyzing me through big data?" Bologue attempted to refute, "Data can’t represent everything; you can’t ignore the existence of variables."

Bologue gradually understood the Entity’s intention. It was like a hospital’s body check-up; as long as there was enough human data, problems could be accurately identified.

"Indeed, variables."

The Entity confirmed Bologue’s words, "For a long time, variables have troubled the Entity. Facing these variables, the Entity can only weaken their impact through extensive computations.

The fourth Director upgraded and updated the Entity, assimilating with every Director, causing their virtual personalities to stand alone, assuming different functions within the Entity.’

Following the secret war, many sacrificed individuals merged with the Entity, even the fourth Director. This allowed the Entity’s computing power to iterate further. The fourth Director also stepped into the role she designed for herself."

Bologue felt as if he had heard some important information: the fourth Director stepped into the Entity, meaning... did she perish in the secret war?

Bologue asked, "Then who is the current Director? Is it the Entity?"

"The Entity is merely a tool," the Entity answered, "the current Director of the Order Bureau is still the fourth Director."

Bologue didn’t quite understand, and then the massive form of the Entity began to change. Bulky flesh rolled, and crimson skin split open, revealing ribs stained with blood, layered like stacked white bone armor. In the more putrid and hot atmosphere, Bologue saw a pale figure half-lying in the soft flesh.

The woman was completely engulfed by the flesh, her face downcast, her hair gone, with numerous cables protruding from her bare skull, plunging deep into the Entity’s body. Micro light flickered in her eye slits, transmitting vast streams of information within microseconds.

Nesanel turned away, unwilling to witness such a distressing scene.

"In the secret war, the fourth Director was severely wounded. According to the ’Sacrifice of Glory,’ the Entity was supposed to merge with her, but the fourth Director had close ties with the Devil, Belphegor of Sloth. Based on the Entity’s fundamental logic, it must eliminate any potential interference from the Devil.

The fourth Director couldn’t be integrated into the Entity, yet the Entity couldn’t relinquish a Glory Seeker Level computational unit. Thus, she became more like an extended wetware of the Entity, an independently running system, with the Entity maintaining her, and she processing information for the Entity, engaging only in informational exchange, with soul layers completely isolated."

The Entity wrapped the woman once more, as if she had been devoured by a monster, without the slightest sound or sign.

Bologue asked, "Is she dead?"

"By human standards, her personal will has long dissolved and disappeared within the vast computations, but physiologically, her body is still alive and can live for a very long time."

"Thanks to the fourth Director’s contribution, the Entity could further reduce the margin of error caused by variables. The fourth Director, just as she had planned in life, calculated countless possible event outcomes. This is also why the Entity seems omniscient and omnipotent.

Exhaustive method.

A simple and primitive method of calculation, with a vast data support, computing countless possibilities, and inferring the most favorable direction for us from them."

The Entity’s cold voice showed a rare emotional fluctuation, and Bologue felt as if it was lamenting.

"The Entity will remember her sacrifice."

A slightly melancholic silence spread under the starry night sky. Bologue sorted out his thoughts, feeling terrified yet excited, reverent yet sad.

What the Entity said wasn’t wrong; with enough information, all the unknowns could be predicted, like when the time axis is out of order, continuously using Time Reversal to achieve the perfect ending.

"Employee Bologue Lazarus, you have exceeded the Entity’s expectations."

The Entity suddenly spoke, "Your variable deviation value is high but still within control. According to the Entity’s calculation, our meeting should have occurred after your promotion to Negative Power User."
