Chapter 1,362 Stuck
The process of leaving the Rift Valley was easier than imagined: I thought that such a disordered and confusing space would definitely bring me a lot of trouble. For example, when I wanted to leave, I found that the way to jump out was the same as the way to fall. It was just as endless, but Bingtis flapped his big wings, and in the blink of an eye he was grinning at me from the entrance of the cave.
"I observe that the real 'fracture layer' of this rift valley should only be that thin," Bingtis waited for me to come up, shaking his head and saying with an expert look, "If it is two different forms of information collection, At the intersection, this intersection will not form a passage, but a plane. This is a rule common to the dream plane and all other void worlds. Therefore, the main body of the Rift Valley is the invisible 'ground' we were standing on just now. All the information based on this 'surface': falling, gravity, and the illusion of being grounded will all disappear after leaving this surface. It is not difficult to get out of the rift, at least for the two of us. The real difficulty is how to cross it. layer……"
I was looking at the pale scenery around me along the road, looking for the figure of Xi Ling who was waiting nearby. When I heard Bingtis say this, I immediately glanced at her: "Are you still thinking about penetrating the black barrier and expedition to the Abyss Empire?"
"Isn't it okay to think so?" Bingtis slowly took off her Valkyrie equipment, and the gorgeous armor skirt dissipated in the air. Although the black dress was a bit simple, it still looked more pleasing to the eye, "Do you want to Think about it, the Empire's biggest enemy, the Abyss Empire, their home base is separated from you by such a thin barrier - the greater the hidden danger, the greater the opportunity. I believe that because of this secret passage, I can't sleep or eat every day. You are definitely not the only one who chews yahuako while eating. The people across from you also gnaw yahuako, and they may have started chewing them tens of thousands of years earlier than you. Although this thing was actively connected by the black Xiling opposite, I estimate that since then After Hei Xiling found out that she couldn't control this passage, it became a serious concern for her. Now that the opportunities are equal, you should either consider taking the initiative. Or make this passage impregnable, and you can't leave it like this anyway."
Bingtis is right. Under the premise that neither side can break through or control this passage, the rift/fracture zone is the same time bomb for the new empire and the fallen apostles. As long as anyone with an IQ higher than their feet can do it, Imagine the destructive power of this bomb. This situation is really too dramatic: the two rivals, who were fighting like a hot kiln, suddenly discovered that there was a portal in their respective bases leading to the other party's base camp, even if they were Shandora-level calm faction. When this happens, I have to worry about it for two hours: If the opponent finds a way to open the door before me, the ball will be dead...
Now the New Empire has just learned about the Rift Valley, but the Abyss Xiling side has known it from the beginning. I believe that the other side must have tried to penetrate this black barrier, and I believe that the other side has not given up this effort now: Hope The spirit apostle's nature is still in effect on the fallen apostle, if she embarks on an endeavor. Then you won't stop until you succeed.
"The most fatal thing is to launch an attack from the spiritual world of your entire clan." Bingtis patted me on the shoulder. "The most powerful beings also have weaknesses. You have been severely injured once by an attack from the spiritual world. Don't There’s a second time.”
I nodded: "Don't worry, I already have a plan. Let Tavel find a way to fix the position of the rift first: Since this thing is related to the power of the void and the separation of concepts back then, it means that we have a general direction. With the tower With Weir's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to find a way to fix it under the premise of understanding the cause of the rift. Next, I thought about setting up some defenses near the rift... My void power is extremely poisonous to the fallen apostles, and the abyss Xiling’s biggest fear of the new empire’s network environment now should be the void disturbance that permeates here, so let’s start from this aspect. Making the Rift Valley impregnable—at least to the fallen apostles, is not a problem.”
Bingtis hummed, and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, that Abyss Xiling feels very strange to people, very... I have an indescribable feeling. She told you too much, and there is some information It is indeed what she said. Even if it is leaked, it will have no impact, but some information... In short, she gives people a very uneasy feeling. You have to be careful, I am afraid that she is trying to mislead you. "
"Don't believe it. Don't believe it all. I'm not stupid. Don't worry." I smiled and patted Bingtis on the shoulder. "The smartest thing about me is that I know that I'm not smart enough, so I rarely fall in love with smart people." when."
Hearing this, Bingtis grinned, extremely beautiful, and then raised her hand and pointed to the sky: "Look! A girl fell from the sky!"
How could I be fooled? I pushed the female gangster aside and said, "Your paragraph is too cliche..." "Bang!"
I was knocked to the ground by a girl who fell from the sky. It happened so suddenly. I didn't even have time to see what the other person looked like. I felt a soft body lying on my waist, and then Xiling was startled. Voice: "Ah! Your Majesty, are you okay? Sorry, there is usually no one in this world. I am used to landing casually at high altitudes..."
Bingtis squatted next to my face, took out a toothpick from his body and poked my nose: "Look, a girl really fell."
Me: "...your uncle..."
The topic of Xi Ling in the Rift Valley and the Abyss was so smashed by Xi Ling (the heartless version) that it couldn't go on. I turned over and gave Xi Ling, who was standing next to him with his head lowered, a brain-shattering thought: "Why did you show up?" The original shape? Didn’t you say you need to ensure bandwidth?”
"I was idle for a long time just now. I optimized my focus algorithm in the network and used idle channels to share some calculation tasks that were not very real-time, so that they did not take up much bandwidth. It is more convenient to use this interactive interface now. There are some abnormal phenomena." Xiling said a bunch of terms that I didn't understand, and then ran around Bingtis and me twice, pulling out a long string of afterimages behind him, as if the mouse had turned on the trajectory function. ——If you just say that your screen is a little stuck right now, wouldn’t that be the end of it!
The person who was surrounded by Xi Ling after two circles was dazzled, and I had to hold her down. Now she has changed her appearance again. I wonder if she has some kind of "connection" with Abyss Xiling. She has also changed into the appearance of the blond girl before. I was stunned for a moment. This silly and optimistic person in front of me Xiling overlaps with the elusive Abyss leader deep in the rift valley...
Shaking my head vigorously and throwing aside this unreasonable association, I followed Bingtis, who had already moved forward: "Let's go, the mission is completed. It's time for Bingtis and I to return to the real world when we reach the normal network segment."
"Oh," Xiling nodded, and a lot of afterimages came out, "By the way, what is there under the rift valley?"
"..." I hesitated this time because I didn't know how to tell Xi Ling: She who transformed into the abyss is the supreme leader of the fallen apostles. The biggest enemy that the entire empire has ever faced (although the opponent claims to be "not hostile" to the empire - this statement is basically worthless), the ordinary girl in front of me who is cheerful all day long and lacks common sense is so different from the one opposite. Big.
But she still has the right to know everything in the end, and as an apostle, she should be able to bear it a little, so I breathed out: "It's another you, when the empire network was split into two. The other part of you is in the fallen apostle camp, she is now..."
I told the other party everything about Abyss Xiling. It didn’t take long, because Xiling already knew most of the story. The other party listened to this with a very calm expression, rolled his eyes and thought for a while: "Oh, that's true. Some things related to this were refreshed in the database a while ago. About the control of the entire Abyss Empire after the consciousness of the network cluster was corrupted. Possibilities, as well as the threat assessment report on this cluster consciousness, I have read it. Did you see her in the rift? What does she look like?"
"She has various looks, just like you." Bingtis saw that we were walking very slowly behind, so she simply walked along slowly. At this time, she suddenly came over and interjected, "You don't seem to be anything like you." Touched? You two can be considered the same person. And even now, she is considered your sister."
"Oh, yes," Xiling nodded, her eyes widening, "She is indeed my sister, and you need to find a way to kill her, right? Is there anything I can do to help? I can assist with research or whatever."
Bingtis was also stunned for a moment: "...Okay. It seems that you have no feelings for your body at all. Fortunately, I am still worried about your glassy heart. Don't worry about that good old man over there. Don't worry about it when you do something in the future. Psychological pressure..."
"Emotional." Xiling interrupted Bingtis, "I miss her very much. Although we haven't seen each other since we became independent, I miss her, and if we can talk to each other, it would be better to call her sister. , but we still need to kill her."
I was dumbfounded: "...Then how can you say this with such a calm expression!"
"Because we need to do this," Xiling said expressionlessly. "There is no contradiction between missing my sister and needing to kill her. She now threatens the security of the node matrix and may be trying to destroy the ordered network. She is an attack program. , I am the network administrator, and according to the agreement, I need to kill her to maintain the agreement."
"...I have no hostility towards you or your old empire...it's just a need...the war between you and me is out of some necessity...goals, needs, execution..."
The words that Abyss Xiling had said to him came to mind again like an echo.
The girl in front of her and the leader of the fallen apostles had the same logic, and their thinking processes were determined by the same agreement framework. They have feelings, but before that they are first the embodiment of the network protocol. They will decide their current process based on a goal, and then even if the system is stuck, they will continue to execute it without hesitation - everything is for the node matrix, and victory belongs to the protocol. .
As a creature in the real world, I know that there is no way to reach mutual understanding with Xiling on this topic, but what else can I say?
The war will not end unless all the fallen apostles fall. In the foreseeable future, the person most likely to kill the Abyss Xiling should be me: using the power of void creatures to interfere with the network of the fallen apostles on a large scale is to destroy the race. The only way to achieve swarm consciousness.
It's a pity that there is no way to know what the Abyss Xiling wants to do. I found that this unexpected contact between me and the other party did not bring much clear and clear information. Instead, I fell into a more complicated mystery than before... I hope Sandora can do some analysis.
"We have reached the network stable zone." Xiling's voice woke me up from my thoughts. I found that a group of three people had escaped from the pale data barrier zone. The normal scenery around them made people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I Check the nearby nodes and you can leave."
I glanced at Xi Ling and remembered what the other party said before bidding farewell to Abyss Xi Ling——
"Tell that 'Xiling' over there that if you want to get close to the fault zone, lower the priority of your node indexing process by one level..."
It seems that this is the reason why Abyss Xiling, who is also a cluster consciousness on the Internet, can enter the rift safely. Xiling just hasn't discovered this rule yet. Or maybe the "performance gap" between the two prevents the latter from deducing this rule by himself. Logically speaking, if this information is true, then I should tell Xiling, but - are Abyss Xiling's words credible?
It's not that I'm suspicious, it's just that from this standpoint, I can't trust any information from unknown sources, let alone an enemy. Abyss Xiling seems different from ordinary fallen apostles, and her behavior is also weird, but I still suspect that the other party is just cunning enough to make these illusions: If I trust others so easily, I should have died countless times. .
"Your Majesty the Emperor?" Xiling dragged an afterimage over and patted my arm, "What's wrong? It's time to leave the Internet!"
"Oh, it's okay." I shook my head hurriedly, "I remembered something, but you don't need to know it for the time being. Bingtis——"
"Already ready," Bingtis said, leaning towards me, and before I could react, a soft body with amazing elasticity appeared in my arms. "Don't think blindly, it's just to restore the original state of Tonglu. After I go out, I need to take a good bath. I don't know what my body has been like after being tortured by your wives..."
Bingtis's voice became lower and lower, and finally slowly turned into a burst of light particles, merging with my body. Xiling watched curiously from the side with wide eyes, and suddenly came up and poked my elbow: "Your Majesty the Emperor Your Majesty the Emperor. Does Lord Bingtis also need to register as the mistress?"
Me: "...just pretend nothing happened! Let's get started..."
After saying that, I still squeezed my hand involuntarily. The real touch just now still remains on my hand. Bingtis' soul synchronization law... Speaking of a cheat sheet magic with the goal of cheating in exams, it really needs to be fused before fusion. Hug like this? If the top student is a man, doesn't Sister Bing feel like she's at a loss?
The sudden dizziness made me unable to continue thinking, and it was the same feeling as when I uploaded it to the Internet. The trance in which the soul left the body lasted for about a minute, and then - sound, temperature, light and air. The down-to-earth gravity of the earth, which can also be felt on the Internet but always has a sense of unreality, comes from the real world like a tide. In this sensory storm, I close my eyes and take a deep breath, feeling that someone has opened me up. From the hatch in front of him, Tavel's familiar voice came to his ears: "Your Majesty, the Phantom has returned to the real world."
"The scenery over there is nice, but it's a bit monotonous." I opened my eyes and said with a smile. Everyone was watching beside me. When I walked out of the access cabin, the first person to pounce on me was still Qian Qian, who was a little energetic. The redundant short-haired girl happily arched in my arms: "Arjun, Arjun, you looked so stupid just now, as if you were sleepwalking. There was no problem over there. The road was smooth and there was no crack. What was in the valley? What were you guys doing just now? Even the mental connection has been blocked, which is really worrying. I used to have no mental connection when I was an ordinary person, but now I find that I can't live without this kind of thing. What should we eat for dinner? By the way, the owner of the small restaurant on the east end of the street is home. My cat has given birth to a kitten - why are you ignoring me?"
I held the slightly petite girl in my arms with a stiff expression, and the corners of my mouth twitched: "...I haven't reacted yet."
"Oh," Qianqian happily hit my chest with her head, "Anyway, I forgot what I just said..."
"Damn, the show of affection is enough, let me return to my place first!" Bingtis' unbearable voice finally sounded in the public channel. She is now fused with me in the form of a soul, so naturally she can only use her spirit to connect with her. Talking to others, "Sandora, quickly bring my golden body to me! I don't know what kind of damage I have caused to you -"
"Don't worry, I'm watching and taking good care of you." Sandora said while waving to the back, and two mass projection Tavel led Bingtis's body over: in the soul-leaving state, Bingtis' body is not completely asleep. The remaining consciousness of the female gangster is controlling the body, allowing it to maintain the lowest level of mobility: basically it is limited to this kind of sleepwalking.
I looked at Bingtis's body. It was indeed not as miserable as the female gangster imagined. It looked quite normal, but his face had obviously been scrubbed: the water had not dried yet, and the clothes were not neat, and the underwear straps around his neck were I can vaguely see it - I can't imagine what Qian Qian and Lin Xue have done in the past few hours...
"Damn, I won't trust you guys anymore next time," Bingtis's helpless voice sounded in the spiritual connection, "Chen, come closer, maybe the separation time is a bit long, and it's not easy to return."
I said oh and stood in front of Bingtis's body.
"...still doesn't work, get closer."
I curled my lips and continued to get closer. The distance was close to breathtaking. In front of me, there were only mountains and valleys. This female gangster had a really good figure, and her underwear was still black...
"...something's not right...if you come any closer..."
"It would be inappropriate for a child to come any closer," Sandora gritted her teeth, "What are you doing?"
This time Bingtis's voice was silent for a long time, as if he was confirming something, and then he yelled with great sadness: "Holy fucking light! Holy fucking light! It's stuck! I'm stuck. !!” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
