Cyber Ghosts

“Hah hah hah”, the little man tittered, “You have stayed in this position for a long time and how dare you believe yourself the Manjusri?”

“You!” the Manjusri opened his mouth to emit another lotus. This one and the former one together were about to smash the sword transformed from Doctor Xue. However, when the two lotuses hit the little sword, the sword shook a little and was getting bigger gradually with the integration of the two lotuses.

“All in vain!” The little sword took in the two lotuses and became more luminous, and Doctor Xue said: “One can’t kill himself!”

“You are just a votive coin that I put into the donation box in the fifth Ashram of Manusri,” the little sword jumped down on the ground and was turned into a blue man. The little man was no longer luminous and acted like a real person after his absorption of the lotuses. After the attack, the little man did not get itched like the way that he was hit by the Life and Death Charms. Thus, the two lotuses did not give him any hurt, but detoxified him and made him stronger. The little man added, “but I add my SOMETHING on that votive coin.”

“SOMETHING?” Hao Ning got shocked and found that Zhang Quan also said that word before but what he said was SOMETHING in the moral creed in books. Even so, Hao Ning still asked, “you added SOMETHING on the coin, but how is it so sightless?”

“All people only notice money,” The little man grinned, “Nobody will notice SOMETHING! So, it gradually entered the inner side of a statue of Manjusri. But to all’s surprise, the statue was the famous one in the Ashram of Manjusri!”

“So, a fake Manjusri was created?” Hao Ning asked in a cold voice.

“It is not that easy as it is the sacred Manjusri!” the little man grinned and did not dare to attack against Hao Ning, “but it is gradually possible to generate wit inside the statue. With the invention of that high-capable man, it would be the first artificial intelligence robot who believes himself a sacred Buddha!”

“What?” All were astonished by the words of Doctor Xue. Hao Ning could not believe this Manjusri was a robot!

The statue of Manjusri stunned: “I, the Manjusri, am a robot? No way!”

“Nothing to shock!” the little man sneered, “Do you really believe that people’s incenses to the statue can cultivate you into such a strong and powerful body. If so, why you still need incenses to support your power?”

Ning heard the little man’s words and suspected that how could Doctor Xue knew so many secret things as he was either a Buddhist or someone who practiced some magic arts. Where did he know these? A man occurred to my mind: Nezha.

“So that’s why!” a voice came from Zhou Yuan, “That’s why I asked the statue a question just now, but it lowered its head and said nothing. It was searching for information from his own artificial intelligence database!”

“You are smart!” the little man grinned and said, “so poor the fake Manjusri‒Oh no, the robot, maybe it should be called Machine God. He even did not know who he really is!”

“Machine God?” Hao Ning understood the inner meaning of this word. He felt so sarcastic of the word here.

“The super artificial intelligence,” the little man added, “is an integration of all nature, which is quite superior to the lower-end artificial intelligence. Nobody found the Manjusri was a fake one when he attended the Buddhism discussion.” The little turned to Zhou Yuan and asked, “but how do you know the Manjusri was fake?”

“All due to the word WELL!” Zhou Yuan said in a cold voice.

“WELL?” The little man got confused.

“If one is quite intelligent that he will understand the core meaning of the words quickly,” Zhou Yuan explained, “If he is the real Manjusri, he will answer the question quickly rather than speak WELL and then lower his head to think of the question. He did not know the answer from the beginning and later he got the answer suddenly. I thought he was guided by some high-capable man. Now I know he is just artificial intelligence‒”

“Fine! Stop chattering!” Hao Ning waved his hands and shouted to Zhou Yuan, “don’t you know that failure comes from chattering? Doctor Xue is clearly stalling the time…”

“I can stall the time too!” Zhou Yuan cursed angrily, “This old bastard will die definitely today. What happened just now made us so frightened that I couldn’t hold my sunflower seeds and Liu Shuai was scared to pee!”

“It is you that was scared to throw your seeds way!” Liu Shai blushed and cursed, “not me!”

“You!” Now Doctor Xue got panic with his facial expression changed, “Who are you! How could you so powerful to stop what I did secretly?”

“No signal?” Liu Shuai said happily. Judging by the sound, it was absolute that Liu Shuai grabbed the microphone from Zhou Yuan. Liu Shuai said in a proud voice, “I am definitely the master-hand of artificial intelligence! Do you what it is? It’s called Magic in Programmer, Panic in Doctor Xue!”

“How?” Hao Ning asked confusedly.

“I have obstructed the signal in the area with a radius of 5 kilometers!” Zhou Yuan yawned and said, “Liu Shuai told me that method. If it is the real artificial intelligence, it must transmit data with someplace by signal communication. Otherwise, it is useless.”

“It was Zhou Yuan that found that the head of Doctor Xue was a voice box of artificial intelligence,” Liu Shuai felt happy to hear Zhou Yuan praised him. He forgot that Zhou Yuan said he was scared to pee and praised Zhou Yuan too, “It is quite easy to judge that if the Manjusri is fake, why did the Machine God Manjusri appeared exactly after Doctor Xue was disintegrated? There is absolutely a certain way of communication between them. If they are not gods instead of robots, then‒”

“So, there is definitely the signal communication!” Hao Ning finally understood,” you two guys are geniuses!”

“You all will die!” Doctor Xue on the ground got outrageous, because he noticed that the fake Manjusri got silent for a long time and its facial expression clearly showed that the artificial intelligence voice box did not connect to the Internet, which turned to be artificial idiot.

“You’ve said this many times, but you never beat us. Say something new please!” Zhou Yuan laughed, “I guess that you plan to control the Manjusri to escape by its Buddhist superpower. But now the fake Manjusri turns to be an idiot and you have no more ways to play with us.”

“Hah hah hah! I give up!” Doctor Xue shouted,” But you miscount something. If the Manjusri is just a robot, why do I have this Buddhist power and Kung Fu?”

“What…” Zhou Yuan could not answer his question, “Maybe you used some certain materials?”

“Bingo!” Doctor Xue rubbed his hands and turned to be a blue light flying into the Manjusri, “The materials are‒”

“No, back!” Xiao Hong opened his eyes and pulled Hao Ning got back to the verge of the area. The Manjusri’s body started to split from the center of the eyebrows. Hao Ning found that there were exactly some mechanical joints and wires. But after the splitting, numerous blue flying bugs were flying out of its body and scattered!

“Spiritual Flying Bugs?” Hao Ning felt they were a little familiar and shouted, “such numerous Spiritual Flying Bugs?”

“No, these are Sacred flying mosquitoes!” Xiao Hong slapped himself with his nose bleeding. After he gave a puff, the blood was turned to a flame as dense as liquid. The flame besieged Hao Ning and him. He said: “the sacred flying mosquitoes were made by copying Mosguito-Taoist that absorbed the soul of Guiling goddess and lotus-stand of Buddha Sanpin in Gods Creation World，and they only absorbed people’s soul!”

“So powerful?” Hao Ning shocked, “and then we will die soon?”

“We will die soon,” Xiao Hong said proudly,” without me…”

“Wah wah wah!” The sound of Doctor Xue came from numerous sacred flying mosquitoes, and there was a looming red net in the sky. When those mosquitoes touched the net, they were turned to be a spark and disappeared without more quivers. The red net was getting brighter and then generated a great amount of smog.

“Smog kills mosquitoes,” Xiao Hong laughed loudly and said, “natural enemy!”

“I must have someone to accompany me when I die!” Doctor Xue was struggling and the mosquitoes left were divided into two groups. One was attacking Liu Shuai and the other was attacking Wang Shi Ming who was playing games. The first group attacking Liu Shuai got insane and attacked each other, and finally, no one was alive. It seemed the effect of Life-death Two Elements Dust Array. Hao Ning was at ease after seeing the mutual attack among those mosquitoes. When Hao Ning looked back to Wang Shi Ming, he was still playing games and did not plan to escape.

“Damn it!” Xiao Hong perceived something wrong, and shouted, “Wang Shi Ming was not playing games! He was played by games. Hurry up! Save him!”

“Ah?” Hao Ning confused. Those sacred flying mosquitoes were near Wang Shi Ming before Soul Cutter was about to be emitted.

“Boom!” Pixiu on the ground shook a little against the wind and became giant a dozen times as before. It opened mouth and absorbed Wang Shi Ming.

“Damn it!” Hao Ning shouted, “Wang Shi Ming was swallowed by Pixiu!” He would use Six-Pulse Excalibur to beat it.

“No!” Xiao Hong pulled Hao Ning, “It is rescuing Wang Shi Ming!”

At that time, the sacred flying mosquitoes were constantly flying to bite Pixiu and numerous mosquitoes as big as a thumb. However, Pixiu roared but did not stay away. Its body seemed to shrink but try to keep its shape. After breathes, Pixiu tumbled after a crash and never stood up again.

The moment Pixiu tumbled numerous thunderclaps came from the cloudless sky with lightning and thunders. Each lightning was very thin, which was totally different from the thunder of Heavenly Divine Fire Pillars from Dragon Temple by Liu Shuai. The lightning hit on the ground leaving many deep gills. Hao Ning knew that lightning was intangible and would disappear when meeting nature. Therefore, the lightning was quite powerful.

The lightning seemed to have eyes and most of time hit on those mosquitoes apart from hitting directly on the ground. In a flash, all mosquitoes were hit and turned to be dust in the wind.

“Holy shit! It is so horrible to kill Karma of Auspicious Beast…” Xiao Hong swallowed slobber and was stunned. Hao Ning found Xiao Hong’s shock, “Finally Doctor Xue did not escape successfully,” and he looked back to Hao Ning, “so lucky that you did not use my flame gun to hit this Pixiu…”

“Pixiu?” Hao Ning finally understood that it is Pixiu safeguarded Wang Shi Ming. Those sacred flying mosquitoes erroneously killed Pixiu, resulting in the end. He felt so scared and so lucky to use Daizong to transform the sword into a gun to attack only the little blue man, which did not hurt Pixiu too much. Or he would die immediately. He rushed to check Pixiu.

“Doh!” Wang Shi Ming fell out of the mouth of Pixiu and still played his phone game. Pixiu was at its last gasp and turned to be small and became a girl after ensuring Wang Shi Ming was safe. Lying near Wang Shi Ming with her eyes hollow, she still looked at Wang Shi Ming.
