Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 726: Experiment (2)

Chapter 726: Experiment (2)

‘It doesn’t seem to work very well.’

“It’s just a piece of data, but it’s still very interesting. It’s not easy to cut desires. Seeing side effects like this happening… Even if you adjust the detailed figures, it is the same in the end. I guess this can’t be helped.”

“Hmm…”

“It can be suppressed for about three months, but certain characters still get into estrus. Ah, it shouldn’t be called estrus. Humans aren’t beasts. What should I call it that sounds a little cla.s.sier? Shall we name it the Romance Day?”

“Let’s take our time thinking about what to call it. Well, that doesn’t really matter.”

“Anyway, the problem is that whenever daytime comes, aggressive characters appear. Still, it’s also interesting to see the change according to their disposition. Some are less affected or completely free than others even when the romance day arrives because their desires are usually cut off. Contrarily, there are some that emotionally explode and even exhibit aggression. The former is you, and the latter is Cha Hee-ra’s dummy.”

Even if they didn’t show aggression, some people acted strangely.

Just by looking at Jung Hayan and her crew, who walked in and out of the room where Lee Kiyoung’s dummy was seen sleeping many times, I could predict how much of a side effect that would cause.

“The system works to some extent despite that. It would be a problem if both were aggressive or if they completely lost their desire, but the proportions are balanced.”

“You’re pretty serious. Jihye.”

“These tiny experimental things are fun. Isn’t it a bit like a game? When will we do this again? It’s something we have to do anyway… We can get a plus score just by experimenting like this. Of course, some contents cannot be announced, even more so the ones we just witnessed. It’s like telling them that our work will fail.”

“We definitely have to cover it up, but we can’t just show only the positive side. Just tell them some errors in moderation. You know, the weak ones, not confining things like this… We just want to show them that we can deal with the side effects since that would cause them to believe in us even more. Let’s select and show that mainly.”

“It would be nice to announce that the disposition changes. I think the pigeons will also be interested. There may be an answer we couldn’t find. In fact, it’s too much for us to be doing so many things at once, but… Oh! Even with Kim Hyunsung’s dummy and Cho Hyejin’s dummy, there is still no progress in their relations.h.i.+p. I thought they’d at least go on a date… even with my help. It’s fun to know that it’s a simple chunk of program, but it works as intended.”

“Jihye, that’s not real. Why are you giving that much meaning to that? Still, I think there is some error with the Kim Hyunsung dummy. His sociability level was slightly raised and a little different. Anyway, why did you do such an experiment?”

“Who doesn’t know this isn’t real? That’s why I played with it a bit. Although this is a piece of data, it is more realistic than I thought. Can I tell you something that’ll give you chills?”

“What?”

“The Lee Kiyoung dummy noticed that he was in a weird situation. Maybe he even noticed he was a dummy.”

“What?”

What the f.u.c.k.

“f.u.c.k, that’s creepy.”

“You don’t know how many chills that gave me. He even left a letter.”

“What?”

As Lee Jihye slightly touched the air, the letter written by the dummy came right into my eyes.

-I don’t know what you want, but I think I might be able to help.

‘Holy f.u.c.k! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, that’s so creepy.’

“Delete that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s data, Jihye.”

-Respectful Transcendental. I know you are watching me.

“Ah, Jihye. That’s too creepy, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. What the f.u.c.k.”

“I have already disposed of that. So that… was the 345th. Have you read the report I sent you yet?”

“Not yet…”

“Which one was it exactly? Was it the 382nd? It seemed like that one noticed it too. I need data from extreme situations. Honestly, I also think there were a lot of errors. I couldn’t even make fine adjustments… The changes in the environment were also so sudden that the dummies here would’ve been confused. It’s only natural that the 382nd one caught us. Lee Kiyoung’s dummy sent a message like this, and I just ignored it.”

“…”

“Do you know what happened?”

“What?”

“He caused a rebellion. He made a fuss, inciting people that they had to resist the system. I was really surprised. In a single day, the temple was burned down, and they threatened us since we didn’t come out even with that. I watched it perplexed and immediately reset it.”

“That’s creepy. Really.”

“I thought that too. You know, I got worried if we were in the same situation too. Anyway, read the report and dispose of it immediately. It’s data that can’t be released for presentation anyway. Wouldn’t it be better not to have it?”

“I’ll try to delete it. Any other specifics? Oh, how are the others?”

“The dummies?”

“No, the real people.”

“I think they’re doing things according to the manual. It seems that they are preparing well for the war, and it looks like the atmosphere is a little hopeful… it’s better than before. Kim Hyunsung is still winning, but he seems to be trying several things. The pigeons didn’t send troops, so they’ll have time to prepare.”

To be precise, it would be correct to say that we were blocking their deployment.

The war went into a lull. Maybe humanity was also confused.

Since the pigeons suddenly completely disappeared, I thought they would be puzzled enough.

It wouldn’t be weird if they dragged the troops out, right at that moment.

Cherubim insisted that the timing shouldn’t be missed, but Seraphim was preventing them. Hence, that was impossible.

They couldn’t even wage war in the first place in their current state.

The higher-ups were too worked up when I saw them. Discussions were incessant each time, and sometimes even physical struggles occurred.

The scenes of the elder pigeons raising their voices while talking were quite fun to watch.

The faction was completely divided, and even the normal pigeons began to take sides.

“It will be difficult in this situation.”

“If they had really thought it was a crisis, the factions wouldn’t have been divided in this way. They feel that it doesn’t matter if they go with it leisurely because they don’t feel how urgent it is. Does that mean they don’t see humanity as a threat?”

“Well, I guess. Maybe I would think so too, Jihye. To put it a little exaggeratedly, they would be looking at humans with the same feeling as us looking at the dummies… Even you don’t think these dummies are going to be a threat.”

“It’s different from that. Cha Hee-ra smashed Cherubim.”

“That’s why I said I was exaggerating. Basically, our plan worked because they think they have the upper hand. Since their idea of ??being superior to humans is underpinned, it became possible to make these motherf.u.c.kers interested in the new humanity and other bullsh*t.”

“I agree with that. They thought they could change it. According to your words, Thronus and Cherubim don’t think about humans equally. It’s ironic. Isn’t it?”

“They are actually the same too. If anyone asks who are worse, the idiots who have agreed with the new humanity plan are the deep-rooted evil. So you can have fun and suck all they have. Is the presentation material ready?”

“Yeah. I think I can do some editing as a finis.h.i.+ng touch. It seems like it was only yesterday when Seraphim first came and saw it, but the scheduled meeting has already come. Time flies so fast. I hate that when I work hard. It all pa.s.ses too fast.”

“I’ll go out and do some settings first.”

“Okay. Have a good presentation.”

As soon as I left, the stage for the presentation came into sight.

‘This will be fun.’

In fact, there wasn’t much to show. The experiment was literally in progress, and announcing that there was a roadmap was all we were going to do.

Still, that alone was enough to appeal to the investors.

Soon after, the elder pigeons began to appear one by one.

When I first saw them, their faces seemed a little despising of me, but they no longer had that expression. Rather, I was able to feel at ease, looking at them greeting me with a bright smile.

Seraphim also took a seat. Cherubim didn’t come, but the pigeons from his side were among the partic.i.p.ants.

‘I guess his pride has been hurt.’

Of course, I sent the invitation. However, his ego probably didn’t allow him to drag himself into the meeting. Couldn’t it be considered an unspoken protest?

‘Why is that one here?’

Thronus was also present. For a moment, I heard voices having conversations in the cluttered hall, and they were getting noisier and louder.

I thought there was going to have a conflict. Two factions that opposed each other were gathered in one place. How could nothing happen?

In fact, it was as intended.

That way, it would have more impact.

‘It’s time.’

With this, the lights went out in an instant.

When the room was about to become noisy once again, a light came in, s.h.i.+ning on me.

I thought I didn’t have to sell medicine. If one were sure of the product, they wouldn’t even need to coax them. It was more definite to show it right away, rather than dragging the time with a strange introduction.

As soon as I clapped my hands, the environment of the reduced continent became visible in front of me.

‘The timing’s great, Jihye.’

It was qualitatively different from what I showed only to Seraphim a few days ago. It wasn’t just the environment. One could actually see that the dummies were moving and living.

Some were on an adventure, and others were enjoying their daily lives. Each had different behaviors and lived on the continent in different ways.

The new technology that appeared like a hologram left the room completely silent.

Some people looked at it with their mouths open, like those who came in contact with a new culture. Even on the side of the Cherubim camp, there was an agitated atmosphere. Of course, that wasn’t the end.

When I clapped one more time, they saw a completely different view.

The scenery changed to forests that connected one city and another, the villages and dungeons in it, the great mountain and the sea, the temple at the lake, another great city, and the infrastructures that filled it.

They were watching in real-time, 5 million personalities living in a vast environment that couldn’t be observed all at once.

“This…”

Of course, the new boss was satisfied with the atmosphere. He was proud because, at that moment, the results of his investment were presented to the world.

“It isn’t an exaggeration to say that before you is a miniature version of the continent. They are not dolls that simply move according to orders but dummies with different dispositions. Five million personalities and behavior patterns. Yes. You didn’t hear it wrong. There are 5 million of their kind living in that realm. Dominions, Seraphim, and I have truly created a small world.”

“This…”

“That’s crazy. No, should I say that this is great?”

‘Of course, it’s great. b.a.s.t.a.r.d. “

“It doesn’t make sense…”

‘Why doesn’t it make sense? It is possible if you have the data.’

“Everything was made for testing. Yes. This is the first step in the new humanity plan. In order to more clearly materialize the new humanity plan that existed only as a theory, to see the dangers with our own eyes, and test our tactics ahead of time, we have created a small world. Of course, those who oppose this plan are not wrong. Our method is risky and incomplete. It isn’t clear what adversity awaits us. But look. Witness those in motion in this tiny world.”

We watched as the continent was being devastated. The screaming dummies and the people struggling in pain could also be seen.

Cities that were engulfed in the radiant light darkened and became distant from civilization. I heard the sighs of some pigeons as if it was sad that the continent began to return to its original form when nothing was present.

“Is this the result you wanted?”

“…”

“Is this really what you desired?”

“…”

“No matter how sublime it is, you can’t get anything in the wrong way. You can’t change anything through corruption and violence. It isn’t as easy, but the process we’re going for won’t yield the same results. We can think, can we not? We are here because we can empathize. It doesn’t matter if you agree with me or not. What’s truly important is that we sympathize with their suffering and the pain of the continent.”

“…”

“If you have the ability to empathize with the pain that comes from the outcome, you must be able to empathize with the pain that comes from the process. If we can empathize with the forest’s agony, we must also empathize with the pleas of the trees. You have to bet on what you have and face their anguish sincerely. You think humans have infinite possibilities, but you are like them. Limitless possibilities are open to us as well. The possibility of a new human race created by us living across the continent is open before our eyes.”

“…”

“With the right theory, the innovative technology that can support it, and with you, we can change the world. No, we can become the masters of the world. After capturing the incompetent G.o.ds, the poor humans, and driving out the demons, we can become the G.o.ds of the new world. We will be remembered as the creators of the new humanity! Everyone!”

“…”

“Invest in the future, to hope and to the new humanity, and we shall draw the future with the utmost brilliance!”
