Faulty Utopia

Modified metal prosthetics, an AI girlfriend, neural networks inside the brain, Cyber Space—this was a world with ultra-high technology, where various kinds of technology could change your life like magic. Although past terminal illnesses such as cancer were nothing in the face of nanomedicine robots, the new level of technology also gave rise to a variety of new problems, new troubles, and new... cases of cyberpsychosis. "What is capitalism?" Sun Jack asked, hands on his hips, leaning back...

Chapter 441 Sun Jack

"You want to completely trivialize Sun Jack into a mere entertainment symbol?"

Although Sun Jack couldn't quite understand what was happening, something felt increasingly off, as though there was a problem somewhere.

He had an ominous feeling that there might be a massive pitfall hidden within.

"Hold on, wait a minute, put the project on hold, send me the entire outline and flowchart of the project, I need to see it."

As the files came through, Sun Jack began to meticulously review and audit them.

At first, everything appeared normal, but Sun Jack quickly noticed something amiss.

Entertainment was normal, making money was normal, but to subtly change the definition of Sun Jack under the guise of earning money and through entertainment—that was a big problem!

Watching the image of Sun Jack being plastered with various labels—hyperthyroidism, insanity—but burying the most fundamental label of Revolutionary beneath all the other labels? This wasn't right.

"Stop, I'm telling you to stop," Sun Jack urgently commanded the Digital Personality. "Halt the entire project immediately!"

"Why? According to estimates, this project is highly profitable and can bring in a considerable amount of Golden Stock,"

The Digital Personality clearly disagreed with Sun Jack's orders.

"The dogshit system of Metropolis, other cities don't even recognize it. If we want to trade and collaborate with other cities, we must have a certain amount of Golden Stock reserves."

"Forget about Golden Stock reserves! If we continue like this, big trouble will ensue! Don't forget what's happening outside! How many people are resisting the capital! They're inspired by my image! If your project goes live, it will undermine their will!" Sun Jack pounded heavily on the console, feeling a chill run through his body as his terrible suspicion spilled out.

FFP was even more sinister than he had imagined. Their actions weren't earth-shattering, nor accompanied by danger warnings; they just quietly hid within an ordinary project.

If he had not discovered it in time, it would have led to very serious consequences.

"That's just your speculation, where is the evidence?"

"The evidence is how strangely popular this column is! Look at the network's heat, the popularity is excessively high! The traffic is astonishing! If you say there's no FFP's hand in public opinion manipulation behind this, would you fucking believe it?"

"FFP is our enemy! The more they agree with something, the more problematic it is! Do you really think this is so profitable because it's blessed with artistry? Just halt the whole project for me now!" Sun Jack issued an unequivocal order.

"No," the Digital Personality's response caused Sun Jack's pupils to constrict slightly, "First, this is only your speculation; second, whether you are the real or a fake Sun Jack has yet to be determined, I do not accept a command from someone who may only be posing as Sun Jack."

As the screen switched to screensaver mode, Sun Jack clenched his fists and slammed them onto the console in frustration. He knew the Digital Personality was thoroughly under FFP's control, and the situation was beginning to change.

Just as Sun Jack was about to resort to force rather than waste more words, suddenly the entire computer room's sensor lights turned red. Following that, a half-mechanical phantom face appeared on the screen of the Digital Personality. "Damn it! Kang Tao Virus?!"

If the Kang Tao Virus broke out in Metropolis, Sun Jack couldn't even dare to imagine the scenario.

Reacting swiftly, he rushed toward the room's power socket. Just as he was about to unplug the power, a red laser shot through the metal door and pierced right through his right hand. "What the hell are you doing?!"

```

Soon, several fully armed Sun Jack clones burst in from outside, surrounding Sun Jack completely.

"Quick, pull the plug! The Digital Personality has been infected with the Kang Tao Virus!" Sun Jack yelled anxiously.

"What virus?" The response from the other party made Sun Jack stop short, and when he turned his head to look at the screen again, he found that the previous half-mechanical ghostly face had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"Bring up the surveillance footage." As the leading Sun Jack spoke, the footage from the server room a few minutes earlier appeared in front of them.

In the surveillance, everything else remained unchanged, including the earlier inquiry and the argument with the Digital Personality, but the most crucial scene was completely different from what Sun Jack had just experienced.

In the surveillance, Sun Jack was conversing normally with the Digital Personality when he suddenly became enraged and turned to pull the plug, as if he truly wanted to kill the Digital Personality.

Sun Jack looked in the direction of the monitor and let out a half-smile, "Playing it like this, huh? Framing me, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, you imposter." Hearing the Digital Personality speak this way, Sun Jack knew the personality he was replaced by had completely turned to the other side.

Soon, the surveillance footage was displayed before all the Sun Jacks within the internal network, and the situation began to turn against Sun Jack.

The Sun Jack, who was being watched by everyone, turned to Tapai. "I definitely saw the Kang Tao Virus image! Tapai! Didn't you implant a chip in me? Check it!"

Upon hearing this, Tapai directly broadcast the video data from the chip, which also didn't show any image of the Kang Tao Virus.

"Fuck!" Sun Jack cursed vehemently, his eyes fixed on Tapai as he said, "But! I'm fucking Sun Jack!"

"Why should we believe you?" The suit-clad Sun Jack appeared again, this time wearing a coat identical to Sun Jack's.

"Compared to me, it seems your suspicion is even greater now, isn't it? You've just arrived and already wanted to go after the Digital Personality. If you were to stay longer, I don't dare imagine what you would do."

"This is fucking frame-up! The Digital Personality has long since become your accomplice!" Sun Jack retorted weakly.

"What about Tapai, then? Has Tapai also become my accomplice?"

Sun Jack looked at Tapai by his side, his expression very complex, "Don't you believe me either, Tapai?"

"But the chip's record indeed doesn't show any Kang Tao Virus." Tapai's words made Sun Jack's heart sink.

He had considered various scenarios. He had thought of not being trusted by everyone, but he had never thought that one day even Tapai would doubt him.

"I don't know what's going on with the data on that chip, but Tapai, I definitely saw it. If you don't believe me, you can look at my memory."

"Wait a minute." The suit-clad Sun Jack interjected, "Since FFP could fool that brain-controlled shut-in girl, that proves they can easily tamper with memories, including his own. His memories cannot be taken for granted."

Sun Jack didn't look at him but anxiously turned to Tapai and said, "Tapai, help me, I really am Sun Jack!"
