The God Virus Chapter 386 - Possible Reasons

Chapter 386: Possible Reasons

Hours later, a private jet landed on a particular island owned by Virus as two people got off of it before the jet once again took off into the vast sky. Its next destination was New York.

"Welcome back, master." Since the Island ugly was already waiting for their arrival, Virus and the golden beauty were respectfully escorted to their base on the atoll.

"Here, take this and go finish that device as quickly as possible." Handing the Pink Star over to the Island ugly, taking on a leisurely tone, Virus declared.

"Actually master, that device was already prepared a long time ago. It just needed the Pink Star in order to be complete and functional. I'll bring it over this very instant." Presenting Virus with this good piece of news, the Island ugly left the room briefly.

Meanwhile, the golden beauty served him some quality tea as they enjoyed their waiting period.

"Em, master, after you're done with your thing, are we gonna leave to China or New York?" Inquired the golden beauty while taking a single sip of her own tea.

"Hmm, I've some stuff to do in New York, so we'll temporarily return there." Replied the master mysteriously.

Creak~

At this point, the door to the room was pushed open as the Island ugly came back. This time, he had also brought something over.

"Is that the device?" Gazing at what could only be described as a gla.s.s-helmet, Virus questioned.

"Yes, master. You just need to place the Pink Star diamond in this hole here." Explained the Island ugly while pointing at the opening spot in the forehead area of the helmet.

Although most of the helmet seemed to be made out of a strange type of gla.s.s, there was also a very complex web-like network of lines and other parts similar wired within the very gla.s.s itself.

"Alright then, you two leave my suite while I do my thing then. Don't disturb me until I tell you otherwise."

"Yes, master." Both the golden beauty and the Island ugly heeded the command as they left the area subsequently.

As the two took their leave, the Island ugly queried, "So, how was it? Did you guys have some fun in Shanghai?"

"Fun?" However, a complicated expression seemed to flicker on the golden beauty's face as many notions appeared within her head, 'Was it fun? Well, I admit there were many fun parts to our travel, like buying those clothes and hanging out with master… it's just the final part of the journey that's been bothering me slightly.'

Nonetheless, in the end, she uttered none of those out loud and instead gave a simple response, "Un, yes. It was kinda fun."

…

Meanwhile, within his personal suite on the island, after the two had disappeared outside, Virus picked up the gla.s.s-helmet at last. But for a few seconds, he simply stared at the helmet.

Now although this glimpse of his seemed to be just that, a mere glimpse, in truth, he was constructing the most basic form of Artificial Intelligence as he locked it up within the tool.

'Hmm.' Next, he didn't hesitate to grab and place the Pink Star diamond at the very center-area of the forehead of the helmet itself.

To be even more precise, the location of placement was exactly in the middle part of his eyebrows.

Targh!

The moment Pink Star was in close proximity to the hole, however, an odd suction force and some very small bolts of electricity seemed to take shape from the gla.s.s hat itself as it automatically drew the Pink Star to itself.

Following that, from all over the interior of the gla.s.s, with the diamond as their target, hundreds of red laser-like beams concentrated on the diamond. All of them were now s.h.i.+ning at the Pink Star itself.

'Hmm, it's finally the time for me to examine my [Existential Codes] and discover just what the h.e.l.l is wrong with me.' As this line, accompanied with some traces of excitement, took shape within his head, Virus didn't dilly-dally any longer as he went ahead and put the helmet on.

Thud!

The moment the gla.s.s helmet came to cover half his head, it made direct contact with the center of his forehead before some kind of connection seemed to be made between his brain and the Pink Star the very next second!

[Ding! Establis.h.i.+ng a connection between the brain and the device…] Immediately, this sentence displayed itself before his eyes. This report, however, didn't truly exist in front of him as it was merely being transmitted into his brain, giving him the illusion as if he was truly seeing the sentence with his own very eyes!

[Connection Established. Does the host want to unlock and gain access to its/his/her relevant 'Existential Codes'?]

"Yes, unlock and access."

[Is the host absolutely certain? WARNING: Please keep in mind, due to the impurity of the crystal placed within the device, gaining access to your raw 'Existential Codes' comes with the following risks – (a) Possible loss of memory, (b) possible disorientation, and (c) Slight chance of failure in accessing the codes of existence.]

"Yes, proceed."

[…]

[Confirmed. The device is trying to gain access to the host's 'Existential Codes'.]

[1%...]

[26%...]

[57%...]

[83%...]

[WARNING! FAILURE IN UNLOCKING AND GAINING ACCESS TO HOST'S EXISTENTIAL CODES.]

"Huh? Argh." This result which came as a surprise was promptly followed by sharp pain and headache that forced Virus to yelp briefly.

'It failed? Why is that?' He said doubtfully. The headache was already starting to recede.

[According to the feedback received, there could be a few possible reasons for this failure. But please be warned that these reasons are completely inaccurate and unreliable.]

'Go on and show me the possible reasons.'

[Here are the possible reasons…]

[1. The host is a human being, therefore lacks 'Existential Codes' to begin with and instead possesses a human soul.]

Reading the first reason, shaking his head, Virus denied the possibility while muttering to himself, "I wasn't born a human being, so that's most likely impossible. Logically, my 'Existential Codes' should still exist. Moreover, if I had a full human soul, the device would've been at least able to determine that it has come into contact with a human soul and determine that it is indeed the sole cause for failure." He outright denied this probability because even though humanity of the future deemed the soul as the most mysterious aspect of mankind which they had very little knowledge about, utilizing their advanced tools of technology, they were at least able to pinpoint, sense, and even recognize it.

'Display the second possible cause.'

[2. The device has come into contact with a mutated type of soul or an unknown form of 'Existential Codes', thus making it impossible to determine what or how it went wrong.]

'Hmm… what's the third one?' He was furrowing his brows at this point.

[3. The device has come into contact with an unknown being or race that's not been included in the transmitted database of racial soulprints.]

'And the fourth?'

[4. The 'Existential Codes' was locked and secured in a mysterious way which makes it impossible to access, discern, and connect.]
