Chapter 1162 "L"

Ark No. 11.

Above the head, the dim light bulb swayed from time to time, making the light and shadow in the narrow room shake.

In an old open "bio-battery" life support cabin, Tang En suddenly bounced up from the curved cabin, his face full of astonishment.

In the iron house with an area of ​​about 20 square meters and the walls covered with spots of rust, there were already five other people standing there. One of them was old, stooped, on crutches, with ugly scars on his face. This was the "elder" that Tang En referred to when talking to the woman before.

The other three people, two men and one woman, leaned coldly in the corner of the room, silent.

The last woman among the five people used a small computer with many circuits and integrated boards exposed on the computer panel, which seemed to be assembled from patchwork parts. Many lines were branched out from the computer and connected to the "illegal port" that Tang En lay on not long ago.

The woman who was operating the computer was only 1.4 meters tall, with a thin body, wearing tattered clothes that barely covered her body, and looked dry. Her name is Bella. Don't look at her as a minor, but she is already in her thirties in the phantom. Due to long-term malnutrition, her body cannot carry out normal growth and development, and has been maintaining this gesture.

Bella looked at the computer that was emitting black smoke in astonishment, and she turned her head to look at Tang En who was also lying on the "illegal port" with a dazed expression.

"How did you get out?"

Bella showed an unbelievable expression.

"I... I came out?"

He vaguely recalled the memory before he left.

Bella tells him "high energy ahead".

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a perverted hunter whose laughter made his scalp tingle.

When that punch came out, he didn't feel anything, he only saw "404" all over the screen.

Then, he logged out of "Phantom Light".

When Tang En said his "terrible" encounter with a complicated expression, everyone in the room shook their heads quickly, expressing that it was impossible.

In other words, he was actually knocked offline by a "hunter"?

How can this be?

"Hmph!" In the room, a muscular black man with tattoos on his body sneered: "Shabi, if what you said is true, wouldn't they be able to climb into the ark along the route? You are insulting us IQ, Don. What you want to say is true, I immediately drank the expired 'nutrient solution' in your room...stand upside down."

"Stop making noise."

In the room, the old man who had been silent all this time, who was also the elder of Ark No. 11, stopped Tang En's quarrel with the black man with a hoarse voice.

His cloudy eyeballs looked at Tang En: "Come to my room, I'll ask you a question, cough cough..."

After the elder finished speaking, he coughed violently. Another woman hurried forward and patted the elder on the back to cheer him up.

"Bella, can you find any abnormal information from Dun En's logout records?"

Bella shook the computer, which was still emitting black smoke and had already shut down, shrugged: "I will try my best."

...

at the same time.

In the virtual world "Phantom".

St. Peter's Avenue, in front of the Broken Bridge.

Yi Lin frowned, looking at her fist.

He just tried it just now, but he had a feeling of "touching something".

Yi Lin would not think that the strange touch she encountered when she punched was an "illusion". There are not so many illusions in the world. He believes that under the guidance of Neil, he just tried to send the "awakened" out of the virtual world. When punching, Yi Lin added a little "infinite" power to the fist, and the "teleportation" in the supreme flow spell "After being highly simplified, a strange punch was delivered.

"The barrier between virtual and real?"

Yi Lin didn't expect that she really succeeded.

He was indeed holding the idea that if he fails, others will succeed.

Try it and it's not bad.

"younger brother!"

Crashed Neil, Smart is back online.

The conflict of several running priorities caused her running logic to crash for three seconds. But when the machine crashed, after Yi Lin rushed out, Neil chose a compromise "operation mode"...that is, not to operate. Sure enough, after "not running", after waiting for a while, when Yi Lin solved everything, Neil found that his logic was normal again.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Turns out it still works.

Neal hadn't thought of it himself.

After several ups and downs in the sky, Neil came to Yi Lin's side neatly, grabbed Yi Lin's ears, and pulled her to the ground.

St. Peter's Avenue was in ruins, a deep gully plowing the street into a sunken tunnel that stretched to the other side of the peninsula.

Broken water pipes sprinkled fountains like money above the ruins, and exposed wires sent sparks popping in the stagnant water.

Neil, who always seemed to have no emotion, showed a rare "angry" expression after seeing what her younger brother did. She took off her sunglasses, and pinched Yi Lin's left and right faces with both hands angrily: "You What did you do?"

Yi Lin's face was twice as long by Neil, and her mouth was pulled into a sausage shape. Yi Lin said innocently: "This is not what you said, 'Try to use the center to process the information in the phantom light, try to construct physical rules and calculate physical volume collisions', or something."

Yi Lin cross-compared her hands and made complicated gestures: "I'm just trying to calculate the scene where a shell is thrown on the street, the power of the explosion is highly concentrated, and the street violence is separated from the middle... That's all."

[Open the maintenance area. 】

Neil issued an application and snapped his fingers. With her as the center, the area destroyed by Yi Lin was covered by an illusory streamer.

Flickering flames, rising black smoke, spewing water, panicked phantom residents, within the light curtain, all movements came to an abrupt end.

Afterwards, the rest of the hunters crossed the broken bridge and entered the maintenance area, searching the ground for the remains of the "awakened".

They seemed to be familiar with this situation, or they didn't have any emotions such as "shock" or "surprise" at all, and they faithfully carried out Neil's instructions.

The hunter team searched the maintenance area for a while, but after finding nothing special, the operation was disbanded.

Neil is off work, and the rest of the hunters continue to follow and are responsible for the "restart work" of the maintenance area.

...

[l-1010, log out of 'Phantom Light'. 】

The field of vision switched, and under the supervision of her sister, Yi Lin logged out of the world of phantom light.

After logging out, the first thing Alice did was to take Yi Lin to the maintenance department for a comprehensive inspection.

The one responsible for the inspection for Yi Lin was still "Alice-101". There are lessons learned from the past. This time, Alice did not dismantle Yi Lin's armor plate to check the inside, but checked the old system on Yi Lin's chip.

Of course, the chip embedded in the armor plate by Yi Lin has no intelligence, so he can only move it secretly.

Finally, Alice gave a "check pass" report.

The strict omnic, as long as it "passes the inspection", she no longer doubts, but she reveals a kind of joyful emotion.

As for how Alice expressed "joy"?

Yi Lin couldn't tell either.

It's just what he thinks.

Because, the frequency of Alice's "morning maintenance" has increased significantly.

It used to be once every three days.

Since Yi Lin was allowed to log into the Mirage World, this frequency has become once a day.

Now, Yi Lin can disassemble the "Alice type" with her eyes closed.

...

Yi Lin has been at work for more than a month.

For more than a month, Yi Lin, like ordinary office workers who clock in to work, and Alice logged into the Mirage, Lin Yi and Neil, seemed to be shopping, stopping and going.

The world of illusion is very beautiful, and Yi Lin took Neil to enjoy the delicious food in the illusion.

"What's this?"

Neil asked.

"Ice cream, strawberry flavor, try it?"

"It's human food."

"You're Neil now, not Alice-101."

"...That makes sense." Seeing his younger brother smiling innocently and stuffing the ice cream cone into his mouth, Neil could only open his mouth obediently and took a bite.

Neil frowned.

"Is it tasty?"

Yi Lin asked tentatively.

Beep beep.

Neil rolled his tongue, his eyes lit up, and he began to analyze the taste on the tip of his tongue.

"Virtual ingredients: drinking water, milk, milk powder, synthetic vegetable oil, sugar, strawberry flavor, di-glycerin fatty acid esters, xanthan gum, citric acid, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, phenylalanine..."

She tasted more than a dozen food additives that are impossible for humans to taste in one breath.

"No no no."

Yi Lin slapped Neil on the face, causing the latter's chest to tremble.

"You're wrong, it's not the taste."

"This is the 'flavor'."

Neil said stubbornly.

"In this way, I will teach you how to taste." Yi Lin recalled the oral structure and configuration of the "Alice type": "Turn off the 'component analysis module', turn on the temperature sensor, and increase the tactile sensing module."

Neil heard the words and followed them one by one.

"Then, close your eyes." Yi Lin's tone at the moment was like Big Big Wolf who tricked Red Wolf into opening the door: "Only with your 'heart' can you taste the taste."

"What is a heart?"

"Close your eyes first."

Neil shut it obediently.

"What does it feel like?"

"ice."

"anything else?"

"soft."

"anything else?"

"sweet."

"This is the 'flavor'."

Neil stuck out his tongue and licked the white cream around his lips, half understanding.

...

Before going to work, Alice comes to Yi Lin's place every day for maintenance.

Yi Lin skillfully disassembled the Alice-type armor plate and inner lining, and cleaned them carefully.

When Yi Lin carefully lifted the armor behind Alice's neck and observed the "worm" lying on Alice's center, she fell into deep thought.

"Hey, sister."

"Huh? Brother, is sister not clean inside?"

Alice asked worriedly.

She didn't want her younger brother to see the dirt inside her.

It's so embarrassing.

Through precepts and deeds, Yi Lin made Alice gradually understand many concepts of human beings.

"Shame", "Worry", "Happy", "Sad" and so on.

Even if Alice can't understand many concepts, they can at least simulate them through the "personal personality module".

"Can I have an 'Alice'?"

"Can't."

Alice subconsciously shook her head and refused. A snowflake appeared in her vision inexplicably, but she quickly returned to normal: "Brother, you can only dismantle 'Alice 101'."

"No, no, sister, you misunderstood." Yi Lin noticed that Alice was unwilling, and explained: "I want a factory model that hasn't been loaded with any 'personality module'."

"Oh!" Alice understood: "So you want to be 'Alice', and it turns out that you like 'Alice xo Alice'."

Alice-101 didn't know what information it was associated with. The visor was hot and red, chi chi chi chi, and gave off a burnt smell.

"..."

Yi Lin decided not to explain anymore.

But since it is "Alice's blank machine without any anthropomorphic modules", my sister readily agreed.

In the concept of omnic, the body of omnic is "intelligence", not "mechanical". They will regard the body as a "part" that can be discarded at any time once it gets old, which is fundamentally different from the human thinking mode.

The blank "Alice type", in the omnic's concept, is no different from new clothes. If you like to wear women's clothes, brother, what if your sister agrees to you?

Alice thinks this is what humans call "favor".

The elder sister spoils the younger brother.

Then, you should also be "Alice".

Alice thought happily.

Looking forward to a happy life in which two Alices plug in and charge each other in reverse.

She didn't notice that after his brother finished speaking, he didn't speak again, and even his usual skilled maintenance skills were a little slower.

...

In this universe, time is like the rust on the armor plate, which grows unconsciously and wears away unconsciously.

It has been three months since Yi Lin became "brother".

A mysterious "Awakened One" appeared in the Mirage World.

His name is "l".

Morning.

Consistently foggy days.

After daily maintenance, Alice was polished to a shiny finish.

The place that should be moist is moist, the place that should be polished is polished, and the style is shining.

The current "Alice-101", standing together with other "Alice-type", can also see the obvious newness. This is the difference between having a dedicated maintenance and no maintenance.

She habitually invites Yi Lin to log into Mirage to eat delicious food... No, clock in for work.

Yi Lin found a reason of "need to upgrade the system version" and refused.

Alice has no doubts, and hastily logged into the world of phantom light.

After Alice left.

Yi Lin seized the time and sneaked into the mine again.

This month, Yi Lin didn't do anything except clock in for work.

He took the opportunity to "infect" all the patrol equipment in a certain area, turning them into his own machines.

Now, as long as Yi Lin is not too arrogant and opens the cover of the life-support cabin and sits in it, he will sneak in here as a "resident" and log into the Mirage World without any patrolling omnics coming to disturb him.

Familiar with driving lightly, Yi Lin came to the life support cabin of "Rods".

Log in to the virtual world "Magic Light".

After becoming "Rod" again, Yi Lin's spirit was temporarily in a trance, and he loaded Rhode's memory.

It turned out that during this period of time, Rhode's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

A month ago, "Rod" blatantly contradicted his superiors, and was taken into consideration by his superiors. Sure enough, a week later, he received a letter of dismissal as he wished.

He lost his job.

What made Rhodes even more unbelievable was that his wife seemed to be a different person. She was mysterious all day long and divorced him at the speed of light.

Now Rhodes is a widow, drinking at home to soothe his sorrows.

On the table, the ashtray was overflowing with cigarette holders.

There are many empty beer bottles lying on the ground.

in the kitchen,

The bowls and chopsticks that haven't been washed for a few days, as well as the "takeaway food boxes" placed all over the floor, exude an unpleasant smell.

buzz buzz --

Yi Lin snapped her fingers, nailed a few noisy flies to the wall with a few toothpicks, and then came to the mirror.

There was a layer of dust on the mirror, and Yi Lin stretched out her hand to wipe it off. In the mirror, a middle-aged man's face full of stubble, sunken eye sockets, and downcast was reflected.

"There are still 12 hours and 8 minutes until Alice logs out."

Yi Lin pinched a countdown on her watch, and after washing her face and shaving her beard, she left Luo Zhai and walked onto the street.
