Night Hacker Chapter 115: 13 layers of space

  Chapter 336 Thirteenth Floor Space

  Beep, beep, beep...

  Gu He heard the sound of the monitoring equipment, as if it was in sync with the beating of the heart. eye socket.

  Is this Licai's basement?

  He saw himself lying on a monitoring bed, with wires and pipes on his body connecting some surrounding equipment.

  This is like a living room in the basement, the surroundings are very quiet, and there is no one around.

  Vivienne said before that Sophia is guarding very tightly in the basement, and Sophia...

  Vivian and Pang Dahai may still be in the fantasy world, so they can only figure out how to save people with everyone.

   "Hey..." Gu He let out a roar, mobilized his whole body to sit up, stretched out his hand and tore off the infusion tube connected to the arm vein and some monitoring electrode pads on his chest.

  He has no clothes on, look at his trembling hands, why, the muscles have shrunk so much...

  He looked at his mind intently, but still couldn't open the console, but the extraordinary program should have been restored.

   "Damn." Gu He used the holy water, his muscles trembled, and he gradually gained some strength. Blood threads shot out from his hands, condensing into fleshy tentacles, and the advanced strength of the second programmer was still there.

  He stepped off the monitoring bed abruptly, grabbed a set of blue and white striped hospital gowns on the side utility table, and put them on.

   His footsteps were a little shaky, and he walked towards the basement stairs, where the door was.

  Almost exhausted, Gu He climbed up the stairs, opened the iron door, and the noisy sound rushed into his ears. go outside.

   Music full of dynamic rhythm roared, and some people leaned against the wall in this corridor.

  They are dressed in punk style, full of metal decorations, with different hairstyles, smoking, and making fun.

  At this time, some people watched him come out of the utility room.

   "What are you doing..." Gu He couldn't help muttering, pressing his headache-ridden head, these people are not like customers, let alone employees, how could Li Cai come in with so many idlers...

  He walked step by step, and came to the end of the aisle.

  But he suddenly fell into a daze. What he saw was not the familiar Li Cai, but a place of heavy metal psychedelia and decadence. Almost all the people walking around were dressed in punk style, and men and women were drinking, dancing, and talking.

  Gu He looked at those people, stopped a passing bartender, and asked, "Where is Miss Caiyin?"

   "You came too late." The bartender left the sentence and continued walking.

  A young woman came over, with high ponytail, thick eye shadow, and bright red lips, "Handsome, want to play?"

  Gu He did not speak, his eyes were still looking around, and he could see someone chatting with a much smaller mobile phone, and someone on a few wine tables was fiddling with a smaller laptop, talking about business, and exchanging floppy disks .

  The more he looks at it, the more he feels the world is spinning...

  There is a possibility that comes to mind, no, it is impossible.

   "Where's Miss Caiyin?" He asked again, asking the woman with red lips and other people passing by.

  He walked into the noisy lobby, squeezed through the crowd, and walked to a big sofa over there. There was a circle of people sitting or standing there, and there was a wine table in front of him. boss seat.

  Gu He saw a female figure with her back to his side, wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of black leather pants.

  She has short black hair, tall and thin, and her voice is very clear: "I need a job, I have nothing to eat."

   "It's not that I don't want to work for you, but you know the rules here." Said a middle-aged man on the sofa, with an oily hair combed, Erlang legs crossed, and metal prosthetics in his hands.

  "What rules?" said the woman, "I don't know there are rules in Liuguang City."

   "It's useless for you to play tricks on me." The man said again, "As long as you keep refusing to give up your Yakuza background, you will always be hungry, understand girl, the times are different, and people change a few batches Already."

   "You guys will be the next batch?" The woman turned around, revealing her side face, it was a young girl.

   Several strong men were about to put their hands on the girl's shoulders, trying to drag her out of here.

  But the girl seemed to raise her hand, but she didn't seem to raise it. The speed was too fast, and the strong men had already screamed and fell away, all clutching their **** arms.

   "Come on, have fun with me." The girl said, "But it's not just your hands that are scrapped."

  Everyone beside the sofa suddenly became nervous. The greasy-headed man put down his legs and said slightly angrily: "You better not mess around, Xingtong girl, there are some troubles that you can't afford."

  "Does a person who is about to starve to death worry about trouble?" The girl smiled and said, "Give me a job, and it's best to earn several million at a time."

   Star child? Gu He stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at the thin and healthy girl.

  All kinds of lights shone down, reflecting the girl's beautiful face, and the outline made him vaguely familiar.

  Also, the camouflage on both sides of her cheeks, the classic goggles she wears on her forehead...

  At the same time, some of those people noticed him, and a strong man came up to chase him away with a fierce tone: "What are you looking at?"

  The girl turned her head to look, and was completely stunned for a moment, "...Boss?"

  "No, it's impossible." Gu He turned around and staggered towards the outside of the club, away from the noise.

  The original world should only have passed ten or so days, this is impossible, the star child will not be seventeen or eighteen years old, not...

  He walked out of the club all the way to the main street of Shouhui Street outside, standing on the street at night, looking around.

  Shouhui Street seems to have changed a lot, but nothing has changed, neon lights are shining everywhere, people are coming and going, and there is a lot of traffic.

  But the buildings have become denser, those low shops and houses have been demolished, and some tall buildings have been installed in their original positions, with more giant advertising screens, Santeng, Seth, Longteng, everywhere The logo of those bank consortia...

  The neon signboards hanging in this club are no longer colorful, but some kind of "Dragon's Nest".

  He also saw a group of ragged-dressed street children running past, and scattered under the scolding of some gang members.

  No, the street rats in Shouhui Street are basically taken in or supported by Hongyu House, so they won't be yellow and skinny like that.

  Here, not Shouhui Street.

  "Boss?" The voice of the girl who lost her soul sounded from behind, "You are really not dead yet, you are back..."

  Gu He looked back at her, those **** eyes looked like the eyes of a star child.

  And her black leather pants reminded him of another person.

   "Where's Lorna?" he asked.

   It seems that it has been a long time since I heard this name, the girl showed a complicated smile, "Dead, many years ago, the bank wanted to clean up Bone Blood Town, she led the people there to resist, and died."

   "Where's Miss Caiyin?" Gu He asked again.

  "Dead too." The girl said again, "That year, the bank and the Metropolitan Police Department cleaned up the Yakuza, and many people died. Now Kabukicho is divided by many gangs, and Juhui Street is owned by the Dragon Gang. Licai is one of the halls."

  "No." Gu He laughed, "I don't believe it, this is still an illusion, right, you, Neuromancer."

  The girl shook her head slightly, "Boss... I am a star child, and I have grown up."

   "Haha." Gu He ignored her and walked straight to the alley, "The acting was good, the acting was human, and the acting was good."

  The alleys are still so narrow, with graffiti of various colors on the walls of the alleys, stagnant water falling from the sky, and no one to clean up the garbage. There is no fat stray cat, only cold and dilapidated.

   "I'm already extraordinary." The girl said next to me, "I'm really in overdrive, and I also chose the doll type, J-level container, Q-level holy grail, you left it for Caiyin's mother, and my mother left it for me. For me."

  She spread her hands, and with a slight movement of her ten fingers, bundles of blood threads shot out from her nails, instantly condensing into steel claw-like tentacles.

  The ten tentacles are not long, but they can be extended at will, and the edges have a blade-like cold light.

  Gu He didn't speak, and ignored the passers-by, homeless men and call girls in the alley, and just continued walking.

  However, he couldn't see the malfunctioning and flashing neon sign "Fish Pond Izakaya", and he didn't hear the laughter of those people. graffiti.

  There are names, slogans, and swearing at banks.

  There are head portraits, patterns, paintings describing history, top wars, ascending wars...

   "The bank demolished the fish pond." The girl said softly, "But this is a legendary place, someone remembers it."

  Gu He faced the wall without a door, trembling all over, this is an illusion, definitely an illusion...

  He clearly believed so firmly, but his eyes were filled with tears involuntarily.

  There are many names on the wall, Vanderbilt, Lindsay, Sakai Shukichi, Boxer Dean Edward, Deer Nine, Cookie.

  There are other people, people on the street, many people...

  "They are all dead." The girl was also watching, "The bank came to demolish the fish pond, and they fought to the end. They sent me, Mike, and Moriko to the wilderness before. Back to Liuguang City."

  "Xingtong, right? What about your sister Huaqing?" Gu He said hoarsely, "Her name is not on the wall."

   "She's not dead." The girl said, "She's a big star now, the most popular movie star in Liuguang City."

  Gu He couldn't help laughing again, the laughter was very strange, "Where's Sophia, hello?"

   "He died too, I heard that he died in battle with Caiyin's mother." The girl replied.

  "Where's Elizabeth?" Gu He laughed and cursed, "Nonsense, it's completely nonsense, nonsense..."

  He turned around again, strode to the street outside, and walked in the direction of Hongyu House.

  There were no linen clothes and a bicycle beside the road. The girl said that Jane was already dead. of.

  After Yakuza was completely eradicated, small gangs such as the Game Gang and the Wrestling Gang gradually disappeared in the blood.

  The Bantian apartment has been demolished. Gangs like the Dragon Gang are half-thugs of the bank, helping various consortiums to relocate and relocate the land.

  The Bosozoku has changed a group of people, all of whom are unfamiliar faces. They are still riding a violent motorcycle, but there is no roar when walking.

  The footsteps of the pedestrians became more hasty and their expressions became more indifferent. Gu He was bumped into and pushed away again and again.

  "Do you have eyes, kid?"

  Some people were swearing and swearing as they squeezed past, and some gangsters had guns hanging from their waists.

  At this moment, Gu He couldn't help but stop when he passed a movie theater.

  There was a trailer playing on the advertising screen in the movie theater. There was a much more mature face, Sakai Hanqing.

  Her eyes, her temperament, are very different.

  Is it because of the movie role she played? Her new movie is about to be released.

  "I heard that Sakai Hanqing can earn tens of millions of dollars per contract, which is more popular than Chiba-Gibson back then."

  The girl followed her all the time, and she didn't know what she was thinking at this time, and she grinned, which made the camouflage on her cheeks deeper, "Many people are fascinated by her in the streets, banks, and other cities."

  "How did this happen?" Gu He asked, "Miss Sakai won't fight to the end with everyone? Impossible."

   "She was here, but she was taken away." The girl said with a smile, "No one knows what happened afterwards. Maybe she has been thinking of revenge, maybe she has changed a long time ago, and everyone doesn't know, so that's why she is here." Fascinated by her, her story is the most valuable."

  "You haven't contacted her?"

  "Sakai Huaqing has never been back to Juhui Street." The girl shrugged her shoulders, "Why contact her."

   "What about me?" Gu He looked at her, "Since it's been so many years, why is my body still in Licai?"

   "I didn't know you were flat until later." The girl said, "I don't know a lot of things. But obviously, someone behind your back kept your body, so the bank didn't take it away, and the dragon gang took Li After the color, I still continue to take care of it, maybe Sakai Huaqing. Sometimes I work for the dragon gang, and I don’t charge money in the end, so I just go to see you.”

  "Unreasonable." Gu He said with a smile, "You may think it is reasonable, but in my opinion, this is nonsense."

  The girl frowned, he laughed, and walked while laughing, and gradually fell silent as he walked.

  The night sky was getting darker and darker, and he was getting closer and closer to the warehouse of Red Rain House.

  However, he couldn't make it through and stopped by the railing of a residential area.

  There are no warehouses there, and there are tall buildings with neon lights.

   "There is no Red Rain House, there is no Red Rain Group." The girl sighed, "Sister Liz, red-haired Liz... and sister Angie, all died in the Yakuza defense battle The bank has given up the hero reform plan.”

  Gu He immediately grinned, and laughed out loud, a little maniacally:

  "Of course, if there is such a war, Elizabeth will definitely rush to the front, and Angie, she will also burn herself! This is reasonable. But these rains..."

  He looked up at the night sky where it started to rain. In the blink of an eye, the raindrops seemed to be grids of pixels.

  "Neuromancer, do you want the illusion to be more real? Study the Gestalt principles more, similarity, proximity, you can't take some apples and say they are oranges. These rains can't do it well, I will drop frames when I see it It's..."

  "Boss..." The girl sighed softly again, "I know you are suffering, but this is not an illusion."

  Gu He looked at her, the night rain was falling on that young face, her eyes were not so sad, and her eyes were more bright.

  Those sad things have passed for many years, and she has accepted it.

  She is now rejoicing at the resurrection of the boss, all she needs is a hug from the boss, and she will be radiant.

   "Xingtong." Gu He finally called out, "Maybe you are real, you were pulled in, you have been here for a long time, but this place is not real, here, I don't know, it should be A fantasy within a fantasy..."

  He saw the girl roll her eyes, just like Lorna rolled her eyes angrily.

  He still had to say, "If you're not a neuromancer, if you really still think of me as the boss, just trust me, I'm sorry, you live in a fantasy that traps me."

  This time, Xingtong laughed. She spread her hands in the rain, letting the cold rain hit her whole body:

  "You are my boss, you are the one who treats me best, and I will be loyal to you, Thermos Cup Gang, for the rest of my life."

  Xingtong turned around, and suddenly released a samurai sword made of fleshy tentacles from both hands, and she swung the knife to cut through the rain.

  "But I'm not that kid anymore. While you were sleeping, I've been to many places, I've been through a lot of things, I know everything, don't teach me like a kid. Did I hurt your little heart? Then I Sorry!"

  Gu He stared at her blankly, hesitant to speak.

   "Where's Vivienne?" He finally asked, "How was Vivienne back then?"

   "Dead, dead!" Xingtong stared at him slightly, almost waving a knife at him, "Dead, they are all dead!"

  "Xingtong, you said you have been to many places, but have you ever been to the edge of this city?"

  Gu He still has endless questions. He knows that general illusions have boundaries. Illusions can be regarded as a combination of a set of programs, all behind which are data codes, and the size of the space is related to calculations.

  It's like the map of a video game. When the characters reach the edge of the map, they can't get out no matter what.

  In the last illusion, he went to many places to search for the edge at the beginning, but he couldn't find it. After listening to what the uncle and the intelligent body said, it was probably a global illusion world.

  But even with the ability of that intelligent body, it is impossible to calculate two global illusions at the same time...

  He infers that this is some kind of "lower illusion", which is temporarily generated and designed for him by the intelligent body.

  If this is the case, then there is the edge of the map, and NPCs will never think of the edge to see.

   "I came back from the wilderness, I have been to many places!" The star child said again, "Do you think I have been to the edge?"

   "No, I think, you are also trapped..." Gu He grabbed his rain-wet hair with both hands~IndoMTL.com~ I don't believe this place is real, have you ever been to the beach? ? I fell here from the sea. "

   "Then why don't we go to the beach now?" Xingtong was about to whistle.

   "Yes, let's go now!" Gu He nodded, looking around, a little lost.

   "Follow me." Xingtong retracted his fleshy tentacles with both hands, and walked back and forth, his legs in black leather pants took big steps.

  After returning to the main street where passers-by come and go, Gu He is still looking around. Xingtong has already walked towards a group of more than a dozen young gangsters. After a few conversations, she took the other party's red gangster motorcycle car, straddle it.

   "Come." Xingtong called to him, "I'll take you to the beach."

  Gu He nodded speechlessly, ignoring those bosozoku who shouted and asked Xingtong "who is this guy" and "what are you going to do?" The star child's waist, "uh..."

  Woo, woo! Xingtong suddenly started the locomotive, and his movements were very skillful.

  In the night rain, the red rampage motorcycle carrying the two rushed out on the street and headed for the beach at high speed.
