Night Hacker Chapter 114: Neuromancer


  Chapter 335 Neuromancer

  The sun has set, but the sky doesn't seem to change.

  Gu He followed behind the kind-looking man in beach casual clothes, walking on the beach, gradually getting a little far away from Vivian's group of photographers, and also seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the entire city on the coast .

  And along the way they walked, the tourists who were playing were nowhere to be seen.

  "You should know that the era of extraordinary programs opened because of the unearthing of the Black Stone."

  Uncle said calmly, "A group of people known as the Blackstone team cracked the Blackstone language, the mysteries of the zodiac and twenty-eight constellations were discovered, and various extraordinary programs came out."

  Gu He heard Elizabeth talk about this, but what she didn't know was the whereabouts of the Blackstone team...

  "At the beginning, the Blackstone team didn't think so much. Whether it was cracking the language and source code or creating programs, it was all for scientific research. Later, they thought that the world would become a better place, and that human beings could get closer to the meaning of life. "

  Uncle said with a smile, the tide rushed in, but did not wet his beach sandals.

  “But the world didn’t develop like that. Countries engaged in extraordinary competitions, conducted various competitions and taboo research, wars broke out, pollution, alien species, capital monopoly…everything became worse.

  “The Blackstone team possesses the most extraordinary mysteries, but at that time all they could do was escape.

  "One day, they disappeared with the Black Stone, and they could not be found in any city in any country. They went to the wilderness, hid themselves, and continued to study the Black Stone, as well as the psychic network."

  Gu He listened to this, his brows moved slightly, the secret that the extraordinary world wanted to know, just like this was known to him...

  "What is a spiritual network?" The uncle said again, "Until now, no one has an accurate answer, maybe there is no such answer at all.

  "The Blackstone team believes that the spiritual network is the dimension of human consciousness activities, the sea of ​​consciousness of all creatures, the root server, and the spiritual network is a universe."

   "Then, the great consciousness of the heart network..." Gu He said in a muffled voice.

  Uncle looked at him, did not answer this question, just continued walking and said:

  “As time passed, that world became more and more a ruin.

  "The people of the Blackstone team began to imagine, what would the world be like if there had never been an extraordinary programming language?

  “What would a world be without superhuman powers, would it be better?

  "They decided to give it a try and do a phantom run. This is the beginning of this phantom world. The black stone has never appeared, and in the history of the past era, the influence of extraordinary power has also been reduced.

  "This original fantasy world is just a high-level fantasy world. People are just data, lacking personality, and lacking some real, real, humanity.

  "It is impossible to give any answers in such a fantasy. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, and to experience another world in person, in order to seek answers, the Blackstone team became a group of fantasy.

  "Their bodies entered the nutrition cabin, and the basement was automatically operated by mechanical programs and looked after by administrators, forming a group system. Their hearts entered the fantasy world, which is the original administrators."

  Uncle stopped and looked at the open sea in the distance.

  The more Gu He listened, the more complicated his mood became, "Then they do whatever they want in here? Are they all masters?"

  "No, on the contrary, they are ordinary people in the fantasy world, nobody, living the most ordinary life. But they are also debugging and perfecting the operation of this world."

  Uncle stepped forward again, but there were no footprints left on the sand, as if he had never been to this beach before.

  "They're all dead long ago, dying like normal people, that's what they want. Their personalities are all raw and integrated into the fantasy world, they're like the parents of everyone here.

  “Since then, other people have not only data, but also humanity, and a personality Rubik’s Cube.

  "The vast majority of people in this world don't have the kind of body you are obsessed with. They are the real fantasy people.

  “Their ancestors are procedurally generated data, a mirror image of the original world.

  "But they were born here and died here. Their personality Rubik's Cube is also in the spiritual network. After death, the personality material is fused with the fantasy world, reincarnated here, and also promotes the growth here.

  “By now, long before you were born, everyone here, everyone, has a personality cube, including your parents, your friends, they are real, if you open your eyes you will understand.

  "And the population of this fantasy world has already far exceeded the original world."

  After Uncle said this, many of Gu He's doubts disappeared, but many new doubts appeared.

   "But I have a body, I can get out of here." He said.

  "Go offline from this world and reach the original world? That's right, you can do that, and you have done it before. You and I have bodies, because we are descendants of the Blackstone team."

  Uncle smiled without any pride, as if he was talking about trivial things.

  "In that small basement, there are some nutrition cabins, which maintain a fixed number of people in circulation.

  “The system in the basement is designed just like that. Synthetic embryos grow up in the cabin. At the same time, they are also born as babies in the fantasy world. Random families, growth, life and death without interference.

  "Our small group of people are all candidates for world administrators.

  "But most of them, from birth to death, no matter whether they are happy or troubled, will not find anything abnormal, and spend their whole life here, and then their bodies will be cremated by the basement system, and new babies will be born.

  "There are also some people, like you and me, we feel that something is wrong, and gradually even the dreams disappear, and we go crazy to study, desperately trying to figure it out.

  "This is another mechanism left by the Blackstone team, because they also have internal debates and uncertainties. Is it this world or that world, do we need a physical body or not?"

  Uncle looked at the sky which was still in the evening sky, and shook his head: "I can't tell.

  "But do you know that even if the basement is destroyed, there will only be no descendants of the Blackstone team, and this fantasy world will still continue to operate and coexist with the spiritual network.

  "Moreover, we are not the only world administrators, there is also a mechanism to select from the bodyless people."

  Gu He frowned, noticing the uncle's tone of embarrassment just now, "Have you ever gone offline?"

  "I've been to Liuguang City, and I've been to Dongtu Street. It's quite amazing."

  The uncle’s round face showed a smile again, "The reason why we feel something is wrong is because of the role of the body. We are in overdrive, with extraordinary talents. Sometimes the nerve speed is faster than the calculation of the area where the illusion is in. It will produce that strange feeling.

  "So when we are in the original world, we will all have extraordinary talents.

  "Perhaps you have heard of my name at that time, people on the street called me a strange food maker."

  What! ? Gu He couldn't help but stare, who knows how to make food? This uncle in beach clothes...

  The fat man who makes food is a veteran, but the man who makes food is strange...

  A street legend that suddenly appeared many years ago, then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

   "Finally, I will come back here." The uncle said, "People like me will become world administrators."

  Gu He was silent for a while, before accepting whether it was true or not, "Do you think it's better here? But this world still has wars, hunger, classes, and many problems."

  "This is human civilization." The uncle smiled, "Everyone who came back has their own reasons. I miss the hometown food here. Anyway, I can't eat it there."

   "According to what you said, if I stay, I will become another world administrator?" Gu He said.

  "That's right." The uncle said again, "You can choose to forget all of this, or keep the memory; no matter what, you can choose to continue to be Gu He, or reset another life.

  "You can also choose to become a world administrator, live here, and protect this place."

  Gu He's thoughts surged, his footsteps stopped involuntarily, and his voice became louder:

  "You say that this world has real rules of operation, but the choices you said sound like you can do whatever you want. And I will come back on May 20th. Does it mean that the world will stop when I go offline? Is it working?"

  Uncle looked back at him, smiled and said: "You haven't understood the concept of time here.

  “From the past to the present, the timeline of this world has an information database, which you can regard as game archives one by one. You only need to put your personality into a certain archive—a certain time node, and you will On May 20, according to the changes caused by your activities, the data of the future world will be adjusted.

  "However, Gu He, a psychiatrist, is an ordinary person, and his influence on the world is minimal.

  "And you are temporarily an unstable factor, put you in the past time point, even if something happens to you, you still have time and room to make adjustments and repairs. Of course, this also took a lot of memory in the fantasy world .

  "If you decide to stay, no matter which choice you make, you will reach the forefront of the timeline; if you become an administrator, you can freely travel through the time nodes of this world.

  "Look, only you can see that I am here. I have no influence on other people or the environment, so I don't need to make any adjustments."

  Uncle said, raised his hand, "Look at the change of time."

  Gu He immediately saw that a layer of strange coded light and shadow flashed across the sky and sea.

  He looked towards the coast, those high-rise buildings disappeared, and the road became a dilapidated dirt road. This is the past.

  But in the next moment, high-rise shops and hotels appeared again, and several apartment hotel buildings under construction were also completed. This may be the earliest time point, two years after May 20th...

  Suddenly, those buildings were still unfinished, and he returned to the previous time point.

  Vivienne was taking pictures over there, and Pang Dahai was running happily.

  Gu He breaks into a cold sweat, this world...is it like this...

  Uncle was standing next to him, and then he said: "In addition, there are indeed operating rules you mentioned. This is not anyone's toy, you can play as you want, but the offline members of the fantasy clan have high authority. And you are special."

   "What's special?" Gu He frowned, console?

  If the console is not owned by every offline person, only he has it, so it can be said to be special.

  "In order to balance the potential control of the intelligent body, the Blackstone team left behind a packaged wake-up mechanism, operating with different concepts, helping offline people return to the original world, continue to explore extraordinary mysteries, and change the original world.

  "People like us who are offline will take a supplementary program with them, so they have a better chance to become strange people.

  "But you are still the first to match and take away the core auxiliary program."

  Uncle sized Gu He a few times, "I'm not surprised that you have made a lot of noise in the original world."

  Gu He now understands, the console, this is a set of auxiliary programs, and the whirlpool is the way to wake up the program...

  The console is the legacy of the Blackstone team.

  You can send all kinds of data in this fantasy world, as well as those Blackstone source codes, back to the original world.

  It is possible to carry out super-dimensional contact through a certain connection of the mind network.

  At the same time, it is also the fantasy world component of the balance agent, which is another kind of fire for the idea of ​​the Blackstone team.

  "That intelligent body, what exactly is it?" He asked, "From what you mean, it doesn't seem to be the great consciousness of the heart network."

  “The Great Consciousness of the Heart Network is considered to be the collective unconsciousness of all things, as old and mysterious as the Mind Network. In order to complement people’s humanity, the Blackstone team connected this fantasy world with the Great Consciousness of the Heart Network.

  "The intelligent body is the neuromancer born from this, that is, this fantasy world itself."

As soon as Uncle   finished speaking, Gu He suddenly saw a figure not far ahead.

  It was a little black-haired girl in a dress, with a cute face full of smiles, stepping barefoot on the beach.

   "Starchild?" He was startled.

  "Neural manipulator." The little girl who looks like a star child said, "I appear in this image so that you can better understand what I am. This is obtained from your nerves. information.

  "Gu He, you died before, you died in that key labyrinth, your personality exploded into pieces, I put your personality Rubik's Cube back together, and that dog, or dolphin. "

  The little girl laughed a few times, waved her hands, and started walking on the beach.

  Gu He saw that following her footsteps, there were matrix lines extending around, and pixel grids flickering everywhere.

  The space is also pulling away, and the uncle who claims to be a strange food maker has become very far away, turning around and walking further and further away.

  "I know your real names and surnames, and I know where each of you's personality cubes are."

  The little girl smiled and said, "I know the location of those personality fragments before they dissipate in the sweeping ocean currents.

  "The Rab Reese you are looking for, most of him is the data I generated, but he also has a personality Rubik's Cube, because he still has a small part of Carl Wilson's personality fragments, and those fragments endow others with sex."

  The little girl looked at Gu He, "I can bring the dead back to life in this world. Over the years, I have been collecting personality fragments in my heart network and putting them here, so that they can reincarnate here and make this world more like you." Tell the truth.

  “The only difference between the personality Rubik’s Cube here and the original world is that there is no body, but it can also connect to the nerves of the body.

  "The body, is it really that important? The body, on the contrary, is a kind of imprisonment."

  Gu He felt his head hurt, and the vortex of light was constantly swirling.

  His vision was still clear, and in a few moments, he saw many looming figures behind the little girl.

  That looks like some internet cowboys, information ghosts, standing on the edge of the ocean.

  These people are the ones who can give up their bodies the most, just to be faster and faster in the spiritual network.

  The body is a prison, as the internet cowboys say.

  "The body needs to eat." The little girl said, suddenly all kinds of food floated on the sea and came to the coast. "The body is limited by the biological limit. No matter how fast the nerve speed is, it is not as fast as the information speed.

  "If you want to seek the extraordinary ultimate mystery, you will never be able to reach it with your body."

  "I don't care about mysteries..." Gu He scratched his head, "Why do you want to keep me? Because of that procedure?"

  "Boss, you have always had the right to choose." The little girl said, "But are you sure, do you really want to leave?"

  Suddenly, Gu He was stunned to see another figure over there, dressed in black leather tights, messy thick straight black hair with wires and silicon strips, standing in the crowd, Lorna.

   She looked astonished, and looked at the figures on the left and right with her green eyes, and looked at him.

  "Gu He? Damn, where is this..."

   "She's dreaming," said the little girl, "to her it's just a dream. But if you stay, you have that authority, one chance, I can do it, I can take Lorna- Luther's personality Rubik's Cube is pulled in."

  Gu He saw that Lorna didn't seem to be able to hear the little girl's words, she didn't care so much, and rushed towards him suddenly.

  "Lorna!" He immediately ran and shouted: "Listen, I'm not dead, I'm trapped in the illusion!"

  There seemed to be less than ten steps between the two, but the lights and shadows flickered on the beach, and they were running, but the distance did not shrink. No matter how much they stretched out their hands, they couldn't touch each other.

  The endless matrix lines keep the distance.

   "She can't hear it." The little girl said, "When she wakes up, she can't even remember this place clearly. Let her wake up."

  The distance is getting farther and farther.

  The figure of Lorna running and reaching out her hand became more and more blurred, and suddenly disappeared. She was just having another dream.

   "Stop it!" Gu He couldn't help but angrily yelled at the little girl, "You are not omniscient, you are not a god, I have affected the operation of this illusion, caused a bug, and there is a mistake here, you just I can make a game to cover up..."

  "Don't be angry, I said earlier that I am not a god, and I can't help you solve those problems in the original world."

  The little girl sighed, "There are still many problems here. So I hope you can stay, the program you activated has a lot of hidden source codes, and those codes can be used by me, which can greatly improve Perfect here.

  "Xiaohe, let's run this fantasy world well together. This is also a concept direction of the Blackstone team.

  "I will help you bring Lorna Luther here, and I can also help you bring Lawton Lude back here."

  The little girl’s tone is a bit innocent, just like the children in the kindergarten said that I will help you like this, you help me like that, “More people will wait for them to die in the original world. Pull their pieces."

  Gu He stared blankly, and the scene of the situation that the little girl mentioned vaguely came to mind.

  He and Lorna start a new life here, and Lorna's worried father, Lawton Lude, is also here...

  There is no need to be in danger all the time, and there is no need to toss about a revolution that is difficult and inevitably accompanied by sacrifice...

  His heart was pounding~IndoMTL.com~Bang, bang, but the feeling of beating was still, something was wrong.

  Suddenly, he saw a vortex formed by sea water on the surface of the sea over there, and he was startled immediately.

   "Stay here..." Gu He murmured, "I should choose to stay, Gu He would choose to stay, but what is Gu He... I don't know, but I really think , something is wrong here..."

  He suddenly rushed towards the vortex of sea water on the surface of the sea, knocking away those Internet cowboy figures, the churning sea water was full of pixel grids, he could not fall into the water when he stepped on it, and flew towards the vortex.

  The entire sea seemed to have turned into a huge screen, and all kinds of bizarre images flickered.

  Boom! He jumped into the vortex like the eye of the storm, and suddenly, the whole world was boiling and turning.

   "Ah..." Gu He seemed to have fallen into the key maze again. Lines, graphics, light and shadow, and sound all collided in the nerves of his mind, blurring all his perceptions.

  He seemed to see the figure on the beach gradually receding.

  I seem to have heard another voice.
