Night Hacker Chapter 116: Cyberpunk

  Chapter 337 Cyberpunk

  It was raining heavily at night, the neon lights were flickering, and the red rampage motorcycle passed by in the rain.

  Gu He was drenched in rain and felt a little cold. The girl who said she was a star child was driving a motorcycle and was running amok on the road. She controlled the car to swing left and right, overtaking one after another Car.

  The rain also wet her black hair and black leather clothes, which reminded him of Lorna again.

  All the way out of Juhui Street, out of Kabukicho, the car drove towards the harbor area.

  Gu He looked at the constantly retreating streets, everything changed a lot, there were many tall buildings, and people lived in every unit, and the windows radiated light, becoming dim yellow grids in the rain.

   What remains unchanged is that this is still a city of streamers.

   Gradually, he saw a sea in front of him, and the sound of crashing waves blended with the sound of rustling rain.

  Xingtong slowed down and stopped suddenly on his runaway motorcycle. The body swayed violently, and the two tires rubbed against the road surface violently, making a harsh sound, and then came to a steady stop.

   "We're here, let's see enough." Xingtong put down the kickstand of the motorcycle, jumped off the bike, and looked at the sea not far away.

  Gu He also got out of the car, staring at the sea, and then at the back.

  The rain kept falling, the surroundings were desolate, the sea seemed far away, and the streamer city behind him also seemed far away.

   "Don't you think it's a bit empty here..." he said, "Even if it's raining, the road to the beach is a little less crowded. People, why are there no other people!"

  Xingtong looked around and said helplessly, "Boss, it's raining heavily now."

  "No, no, it rains almost every day in Liuguang City, but people will not stop."

  Gu He suddenly flashed the feeling that something was wrong again, as if seeing the sea churning up pieces of pixel grids, the strange feeling caused by the nerve speed being faster than the area calculation speed...

   As if something moved in his heart, he jumped over the road guardrail and rushed to the beach.

  Rushing a few steps, both hands released blood threads to form tentacles, pulling a large rock on the coast and leaping away.

  "Boss?" Xingtong called, and with a wave of his hand, he also released a tentacle and jumped forward.

  Her black figure flew quickly in the rain, and landed beside the reef, while Gu He, who landed first, had already rushed towards the endless sea surface, wading through the sea water under his feet, rushing towards those waves.

   "Boss..." Xingtong sighed, and had no choice but to continue to follow, stepping his feet into the sea water.

  The sea water poured into the leather boots, and the water level over her feet was getting higher and higher, and her steps were getting heavier and heavier...

  Suddenly, she saw the boss in front stop and laughed wildly: "I knew it, I knew it was an illusion!"

  Xingtong was about to say something, but saw a green wall of light flashing across the sea over there, standing on the entire coastline from one end to the other, extending to the end of the horizon, she suddenly stunned.

   "I can't get through here, there is an air wall blocking it!" Gu He continued to walk forward, but he just couldn't get through, and he just kept walking in place, "The area over there is empty, and the data has not yet been prepared."

  The sea water and rain were very cold, but his mood cheered up, and he slapped the air wall heavily with flesh and blood tentacles.

  Bang, bang, bang!

  Every slap will splash a large pixel grid, and cracks of light will spread.

  Suddenly, the light wall continued to appear, and then all of them appeared. There was a circular light dome in the rain sky, covering the entire city. Countless codes flowed in the light layer, and the curved dome continuously dropped pixel grids.

  These pixel grids flickered into rain as they fell.

  Xing Tong looked up at all this, looking around, his young face was completely stunned.

  Her body trembled slightly, it was cold here.

  "Neuromancer." Gu He looked back at the girl, "I can't be trapped by such an illusion."

   "She's not me." Suddenly another female voice sounded, "I didn't ask you to come here to trap you."

  Gu He and Xingtong turned their heads to look, and saw a figure appearing on the beach side, wearing a beautiful printed kimono, with long black hair, and a face with beauty spots that looked young but mature at the same time.

  "Sakai Hanqing..." Xingtong said in surprise, that is Sakai Hanqing, a super movie superstar.

  The figure walked this way, her feet in wooden clogs did not fall into the sea, she walked on the surface of the sea.

  Gu He looked at the girl next to him, then at the woman, and said in a deep voice, "I don't care which one of you is the one, or both, that's enough, don't use their images."

  "Don't you want to vent your anger on the image of Sakai Huaqing, maybe you will like me to use this image?"

  After the female figure finished speaking, a burst of light and shadow twisted and flickered all over her body, and she turned into Lao Fan's appearance, wearing a chef's uniform.

  Xingtong took two steps back in a daze, "You, you..."

   "This is an illusion." Gu He said seriously to the girl again, "The things here are all false."

   "This is the result of a super-calculation." The intelligent body in the image of Lao Fan said, "I calculated based on the situation of you and the original world, and this is the future scene with the highest probability, regardless of whether Gu He returns or not. This way.

  "The only difference is that if Gu He goes back, he will die together with Lorna Lude in the resistance activities in Bone Blood Town.

  "No matter which future it is, Lorna Lude will die, the one who dies first."

  The intelligent body said that, the sea waves suddenly churned, and Gu He felt his mind churning.

  He pressed his head, but a large amount of light and shadow data still came rushing like a huge wave. In a few moments, he seemed to have seen the future results mentioned by the intelligent agent. The scenes were so bizarre that his eyes almost burst.

  He saw that Lorna was covered in blood, surrounded by Bone Blood Town, which was constantly bombarded by shells, and it was completely turned into ruins.

  He hugged her tightly and called her, but he couldn't keep her from disappearing.

  "I'm sorry..." She tried her best to smile, and her life was frozen...

  The light and shadow changed, and he saw Elizabeth. She still had red hair, her beautiful face was no longer young, and she had a mature charm, but in her pair of blue eyes, there was no fire-like light.

  Elizabeth Sterling, get darker.

  "Angel, this is not the past." She said, "People have changed, we have changed, people will always change."

  He felt more pain in his heart, and also felt a little more inexplicable melancholy, the light and shadow changed again, and he saw Sakai Huaqing.

  She looks more confident, but also more gloomy, she no longer puts all her thoughts on her face.

  "No one can stay young forever." Sakai Huaqing said, "He Sang, no one can always dream."

  The scene in front of Gu He’s eyes flickered, as if he had experienced the Yakuza being cleaned, the red rainball disappeared, the fish pond was demolished, and everyone died one by one; it seemed to be another experience, they did not die, but their Pairs of eyes lost their light.

  People will grow old eventually, and some dreams are just dreams after all.

  The rain continues to fall, the wind continues to blow, and the light continues to pass.

  "I can't calculate the kind of future you want." The agent said, "Only death, change, and burial."

  Gu He let out a hoarse growl, trying to break free from this sea of ​​data, "It's fake, it's all fake..."

   "What about me?" Xingtong asked blankly at this moment, "What am I, is it just false data?"

   "You are the star child, another star child, the star child who lives here." The agent said again, "I took some of your personality materials, and with this future with the highest probability, I created another star child with you. A Rubik's Cube of personality."

  In an instant, the surrounding sea and the scene of Liuguang City dissipated, forming a matrix space.

  Only he, the girl star child, and the intelligent body are in this blank space intertwined with black matrix lines.

  They seem to be in the middle, and they seem to be anywhere.

   "Well, I've never been to this kind of place..." Xingtong murmured, "It's been a long time since I met you."

  Gu He was also surprised, "Can you copy others?"

  "No, I can't copy, the mind network will counter it." The intelligent body said, "I create, I resurrect."

  The figure of Lao Fan took a few steps, "She is not a star child, but she is also a star child. They are one person, but they are also two people, and they are still many people."

  Rows of TV screens appeared in the matrix space. Gu He and Xingtong were looking around. Those screens showed some different scenes of Xingtong. She was a street rat, she was in a fish pond, and she went to the wilderness. She returned to Liuguang City...

  She stole the beef from Beiye Butcher, she ran away with a pair of old sneakers, she hugged Lorna in the fish pond and laughed.

  She wandered on the truck of the wilderness tribe, she participated in gang fights on the streets of Yeyu, she killed people, she walked into the different Licai Club, she stood by the sea and looked into the distance...

  "Xingtong." Gu He couldn't help but whispered, feeling that the girl in black leather pants beside her had a life.

  "Don't you think, star child is very similar to Lorna Rudd?"

  The intelligent body walked again and said, "Whether it is her experience, her mind, her character, her ability, her traits, she is like another reincarnation of Liuguang City.

  “In these reincarnations, I saw Molly Milians, I saw Motoko Kusanagi, I saw Trinity, I saw Panan Palmer...

  “I see the past, I see the future, I see this world, I see other worlds, I see many things that you can’t see. There are many Lorna, there are many star children, and there are many of you.

  "Liuguang City, is just like this reincarnation again and again.

  "Human beings reincarnate again and again."

  Gu He grabbed his aching head and stared at that old Fan, "What the **** are you trying to say..."

  Xingtong was still staring at those screens, "Am I like Sister Lorna? If it was her, she would have beaten you up long ago?"

  That old Fan figure seemed a little helpless, and said to Gu He:

  “When you look at my image, you will associate me with Lao Fan, even though you know I am not Lao Fan, like someone getting angry because of a dream, because your brain will be deceived.

  "You are a psychiatrist. Do you know what archetypes are? Human beings are subject to biological instinct and collective unconsciousness, and the soul is not so rich. In fact, in my opinion, there are only a few types that come and go, which is too simple.

  "Actually, by your standards, neither the body nor the personality data are so real.

  "You are limited by your body, and you are still trying to find the truth."

  Seeing the matrix space, Gu He suddenly seemed to have experienced data fluctuations, and another figure appeared.

  Casual T-shirt, beach shorts, and a friendly round face, this is the uncle administrator who claims to be a strange food maker.

  "Xiaohe, stop obsessing about what is true and what is false." It was the uncle who spoke, "Because we will never be able to figure this out. If you are obsessed with this, then no matter which world you are in , at any point in time, with whomever you face, you have every reason to doubt whether it is true or false, and our perception can be a neurochemical reaction simulated by other information.”

  The agent in the image of Lao Fan also said: "Are you doubting that he and I are actually the same existence? I know you will."

  "I can't bear it any longer..." Xingtong retracted his gaze, "Boss, do you want to do it? You and I are alone."

  Gu He looked at the fat man and the strange man standing side by side, and couldn't tell the difference for a while.

  "You think the fantasy world is an illusion, and the original world is reality." The agent continued, "But how can you be sure that the original world is a material world, not another information world?

  "Why can data codes and supernatural programs work there? With your standard science, where is the truth?

  "I call these worlds the fantasy world, the original world, the material world, and the information world, just to let you understand what I mean, not just because I think so.

  "Maybe in the end, they are all the same, it just depends on how you choose."

  "I really don't understand." Gu He asked the two figures, "Why do you want to keep me so much?"

  The image of the agent suddenly changed again, into the image of a tall young man, Gu He.

  Gu He looked at the other party as if he was looking at his own mirror image, and his heart was churning with various inexplicable feelings...

   "You are very good, you must be crazy about my boss's body!" Xingtong looked at him and said with a smile.

  "We want to keep you because this is the mechanism itself." Gu He's image of the agent said again, "When the person who masters the core auxiliary program appears, has been to the original world, and enters here again, I will Trying to keep him.

  “This is how the Blackstone team designed it, and I and all administrators still respect this design.

  "This mechanism is also the source code of the illusion itself.

  “Here, still, there; body, still, information.

  "You, or, me.

  “The Blackstone team has no answer, this mechanism is to produce an answer.

  "If you really want to leave, you can't stay here, but if you still have hesitation in your heart, the hesitation you can't deny, it's not that I'm trapping you, it's that you can't leave."

  After saying that, the figure of the young man gradually disappeared into the blank.

  The round-faced man smiled kindly at Gu He, and at the same time his figure disappeared, he said:

  "Xiaohe, the reason why the mind network is a mind network rather than a brain network is probably because we cannot rely on our brains to exist, and the mind allows us to exist.

  “The real mind will generate kinetic energy, which is the key to the existence of the personality Rubik’s Cube in the mind network.

  “Use your heart, not to distinguish, use your heart to feel.

  "Your heart tells you what choice you want to make, and that is the truth for you."

  Gu He was at a loss, and wanted to give the answer he chose right away, but he couldn't.

  Yes, he still hesitated deep in his heart.

  When the two figures disappeared completely, the matrix space suddenly faltered, and the black matrix lines violently swayed and intertwined messily.

  The images on those TV screens are flying out, some burst into a pixel grid, and some overlap the figures of two people.

  Both of them could see that the space was about to collapse, and they looked around urgently, but they couldn't do anything at the moment.

   "Boss..." Xingtong released the blood thread with both hands, but he couldn't find the enemy. Is this the way it is, her life.

  She looked at the man who used to be her brother, and said with a smile, "I never told you thank you, thank you for helping me at Beiye Butcher Shop, I realized later that you gave me a lot of money." Seed, hope, until now, still inspires me..."

  Gu He looked at the young star boy, his eyes narrowed.

  He suddenly reached out and grabbed her, "Hold on, not everyone has the opportunity to play with another version of themselves."

   "Sounds like it's fun." A new light flashed in the star child's black eyes.

  Boom! The matrix space burst open, and the pixel grids dissipated one after another.

  The sound of the crashing waves came to the ears again, and the light cast by the evening sky tore through the blank space. Gu He felt the texture of his feet was different, and he was not holding anyone, and he was on the lively beach of Jianghai City again.

  Over there, the fat sea barked joyously and ran towards another wave.

   On the other side, Vivienne in a colorful bikini posed for a photo shoot with the photography team.

  Everything in the streamer city and the matrix space just now seemed like a dream.

  "Here..." A surprised voice sounded, "Boss?"

  Gu He turned his head when he heard the sound, and grinned when he saw the young star boy who appeared next to him.

  "Xingtong, we are all overdriver dolls, but I am faster than you, or how can I say I am the boss."

  "What are the things here?" The star child looked around, "Is it an illusion?"

  "Yes, come with me, and talk while walking, we still have a lot to do."

  Gu He strode over, regardless of the photographers, and took Vivian's hand, "It's time to get down to business."

   "Huh?" Vivian felt that his hand was very strong, as if he had recovered his extraordinary strength. ...

  "You are..." The girl looked surprised, "Vivienne, sister Vivienne!"

   "Wait, don't tell me who you are." Vivienne quickly stopped the other party, and told the photographers who were anxious to be disturbed by idlers to ignore, "Let me guess, I've already thought of it. "

  The girl wears goggles and camouflage on her face, and she can match a cunning little girl.

  Vivian asked in surprise, "Star child?"

   "It's me!" Xingtong laughed, "Sister Vivienne, you said that when I grow up, you will teach me how to make up and dress up. I will grow up, haha!"

  "What's going on~IndoMTL.com~ Vivienne looked at Xingtong and Gu He, even if she was a fun person, she was a little confused at this moment, "Dahe, we won't be finished, right? How long has it been in the outside world? "

   "Don't care how long it's been outside, don't care if it's true or not." Gu He walked up the beach embankment, "We must first reach the forefront of the world's timeline, only then can we truly attack it."

  Evening is over, the sky is rapidly turning dark, and the high-rise shops and high-rise buildings by the sea are also lit up everywhere.

  Do you feel it with your heart? Yes, he still hesitates. This is also part of human nature...

  However, those illusions, those scenes also made him understand more.

  Some people, some places, some things are very important to him.

   "Fucking fish pond." Gu He said, "Whoever wants to tear it down, I will do it."

  That kind of future, no matter how likely it is, I can never let it happen, no. I don't know the answers to the questions of the Blackstone team, and I can't figure out what is there and what is not.

  It's almost done, I just know what I have to do now.
