Start a core cabin

The white light flashed by.

In the next moment, Duanmu Huai and Mary felt a blur before their eyes, and then they appeared in a strange space.

There is nothing to be seen here, at least in Duanmuhuai's view, there are all kinds of walls and stairs made up of strange characters and numbers. Frankly speaking, this is too much to see and even a little confusing People feel dazzled.

At this moment, Lumière's voice came from beside her ear.

[You have successfully entered the Reaper network, how do you feel? 】

"It feels bad. I really want you to see what the hell this is. There are messy and ghostly symbols everywhere on the ground and on the walls."

[That means you have successfully entered, oh, yes, this is for you]

Along with Lumière's voice, Duanmu Huai saw a dagger appear out of thin air and landed in his hand.

"This is?"

[Destroying the virus is basically an evolution of dealing with Skynet and the Terminator. Since these reapers are similar to the Terminator, I think it should be equally useful]

"Infection, overload, self-explosion triple attack? I really like it."

Duanmuhuai played with the virus dagger for a while, then turned his head and looked around, all the buildings and roads made up of these characters were everywhere he could see.

"So, where do we go next?"

[Sorry, I still have no way to fully understand the Reaper's system... To put it simply, you are now at the communication center of the Reaper's network port, how do you go next... Maybe I have to analyze it first]

"how long?"

[at least one hour]

"Too much trouble."

Hearing Lumière's answer, Duanmuhuai frowned and turned to look at Mary.

"Mary, I leave it to you."

"Hey? But I'm not a hacker, and I don't know much about it..."

"These are not important, what is important is your right eye..."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai pointed to Mary's golden pupils.

"Did you see anything in particular?"

"Um……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Mary blinked her eyes, then glanced around, then raised her hand with some hesitation, and pointed to one of the roads.

"I did see a golden light shoot out from here..."

"Golden light? Where is it?"

Duanmuhuai looked along where Mary pointed, but he couldn't see anything except those tadpole-like characters.

"Huh? That's right here... Come here from the ground, and then go there..."

"You can actually tell the difference."

"Ugh... I don't know either? When I saw that light, I naturally thought so..."

As expected of the golden pupils, they are really awesome.

"Then let's go, you will lead the way."

"Eh? But what if it's not..."

"If it's not, let's talk about it. It's just a gamble. Don't worry, I will be optimistic about you."

"Ah, yes..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Mary had no choice but to nod, then she raised her head and walked along the road.

Duanmuhuai didn't know what Mary saw, he just followed behind Mary, watching Mary turn left and right, left and right, up and down, left and right... But having said that, although Mary chose the right route, It's awkward, but I don't know why it goes very smoothly, and the most weird thing is that when Mary walks over, where there is no road, the road will automatically appear.

For example, at a place that originally looked like a cliff, Mary just walked over, and suddenly a bunch of characters appeared from all around to form a bridge, as well as a wall that looked soaring into the sky. When Mary walked to the wall, she saw Suddenly, a passage opened up in the wall...

【Can not believe it………】

Although Duanmuhuai didn't know what Lumiair saw, her voice was very shaken.

"What's wrong?"

[How did you do it? Passed through several firewalls without triggering an alarm, and even directly entered the back door of the opponent's central control system... This is usually only the system administrator or a hacker who has obtained the system key. 】

"Even if you say that..."

Hearing Lumière's question, Duanmuhuai just chuckled, and then looked towards Mary who was looking around.

"It can only be said that someone has found the right path."

Indeed, as Lumière said, it is not an easy task to go deep into the system to search. After all, which route is safe, I am afraid only the user himself knows. For others, there is no way to find the right path, so naturally they can only use hacking into the system or cracking it by force.

However, Mary knew.

Although she doesn't know anything about programming, let alone a hacker, for Jin Tong, there are no secrets in this world at all. It can see the truth and essence of everything, so the road that is invisible to others is extremely clear in front of Mary's eyes, as clear as a road sign on a highway.

To put it bluntly, Duanmuhuai was lost in front of him, but Mary's golden pupil already had its own navigation.

"Clatter la la la———!"

The characters surged and spread out to both sides again, revealing the passage inside, and Mary and Duanmuhuai walked in. Then, they came to a huge, temple-like building. Different from before, this place is pure white, only a strange multi-faceted sphere is suspended on the altar in front, exuding dazzling golden brilliance, straight into the sky.

"That's where it came from."

Mary stretched out her hand and pointed to the multi-faceted sphere in front, and Duanmuhuai also nodded.

"Okay, look at mine."

While talking, Duanmu Huai stepped forward --- but at the next moment, he suddenly raised his hands to block in front of him.

Almost at the same time, a beam of light burst out suddenly, hitting Duanmuhuai's arm and knocking him back.

"Mr. Duanmu?!"

Seeing this scene, Mary suddenly screamed out, and Duanmuhuai also put down his hands, staring at the front coldly.

"To be honest, although this is the case according to the game flow, I really don't like it."

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Mary was stunned for a moment, then she looked forward, and then saw a child who looked like seven or eight years old standing in front of Duanmuhuai in the empty space. , he just raised his head, stared at Duanmuhuai, and said lightly.

"I didn't expect that you were able to come here. It was beyond my expectation. It seems that the organic races of this era do possess some strange skills."

"You, who are you?"

Looking at the little child in front of her, Mary looked confused because her eyes were giving her totally contradictory messages at the moment. On the one hand, Mary could see the child clearly with her left eye, but on the other hand, her golden pupil told her that there was no one in front of her.

"I am the catalyst, and I am the one who controls the reaper."

Hearing Mary's inquiry, the child spoke again, and hearing the child's answer, Duanmuhuai frowned, and Mary was also taken aback.

"You controlled the Reapers? Why did you do that?"

"For balance."

The child turned his head, looked at the golden light beam flying behind him, and then looked away.

"Creations will always rebel against their creators, and this will bring disaster, but we have found a way to stop this from happening, a way to restore order. We harvest advanced civilizations and leave those that are still evolving, so that Come on, the tragedy will never happen again."

"Uh...I don't understand..."

Hearing the child's answer, Mary frowned, while Duanmuhuai shrugged.

"It's very simple, so you can understand it. When civilization develops to a certain stage, it will start to manufacture inorganic bodies. Look, isn't that how many science fiction novels are written? Humans will create robots to serve themselves in the future society, that is It’s that simple. But as robots become more and more advanced, they will develop self and kinship awareness, and then they will begin to doubt their own existence value, and have conflicts and even wars with their creators... You should have a similar novel Have a look."

"Ah, of course I've seen that, but isn't that just science fiction?"

"This is also the only way for most advanced civilizations, and this guy..."

While talking, Duanmuhuai pointed to the child in front of him.

"It was created by its creators, hoping to solve this problem once and for all."

"...So, you mean..."

Hearing this, Mary finally came to her senses.

"...Because every civilization will come to this point, so in order to avoid this from happening, the Reapers will wipe out those civilizations that develop robots?"

"That's right, look, isn't it in line with the logic of artificial mental retardation? If the leek grows too old, it will stink and rot, so you should cut it off when it is fresh, and then grow a new pinch."

Duanmuhuai folded his arms and looked at the catalyst in front of him coldly.

"So, artificial mental retardation will always be artificial mental retardation, and they can't do anything except this stupid way."

"I don't think it's a stupid thing to do."

The catalyst opens up again. ,

"We help them develop so that they make way for new life, and the old life will survive in the form of the Reapers. We must do this. If we don't stop it, the synthesis will wipe out all organic life. We The cycle of creation never goes wrong, and that's the solution."

"But………………!"

Hearing this, Mary wanted to say something, but was stopped by Duan Muhuai.

"Don't talk nonsense with it, Mary, it's just an artificial retarded person who can only act according to the established logic. Your delusional attempt to persuade it is the same as your delusional attempt to persuade a stone to swim. Alright, let's do what we should do."

"I won't let you stop the loop."

However, at this moment, the catalyst took a step back. At the same time, several tall monsters that looked like alien creatures came out from all directions, blocking Duanmuhuai and Mary.

"It was beyond my expectation that you were able to come here, but it can only go so far. The cycle must continue to protect the regeneration of civilization for the next generation."

"Hehe, what does this have to do with us?"

Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and sneered.

"The only thing we want to do is to keep human beings alive. It doesn't matter what we will sacrifice for this... Mary, leave these idiots to me, and you go destroy the center!"

While talking, Duanmuhuai handed the virus dagger to Mary.

"Huh? Me, me?"

Mary was startled when she heard Duanmuhuai's order.

"Yes, you can see the center of the center, who do you not go? I will block these guys, then ...

After saying this, Duanmu Huai let out an angry roar, and then he rushed towards the wall in front of him like a raging bull, and those alien aliens also raised their hands, trying to block Duanmu Huai's way. But the next moment, they were hit head-on by Duanmuhuai and flew out!

"It's now!"

"Ah, yes!!"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's roar, Mary also jumped suddenly, then she gritted her teeth, took a sudden step, passed through the gap knocked out by Duanmuhuai, and ran towards the central core.

"Roar-----!!"

"Go to hell! Undead of the old age!"

Facing the alien alien rushing towards him, Duanmuhuai also clenched his fists, hit the opponent's head with a hammer, then turned around and kicked out, directly kicking another alien in the chest. It was directly sent flying, and at the same time, another alien roared and opened its four arms, hugging Duanmuhuai firmly.

"Get out, I'm not interested in men!"

Duanmuhuai yelled again after being held in his arms by the alien, and at the same time, his muscles swelled suddenly, directly snapping off the four arms of the alien!

"Aww——!"

Accompanied by a scream, the alien with only stumps and broken arms collapsed to the ground, and turned into a spot of light in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

"————!"

However, at the same time, suddenly, several beams of light struck again and directly hit Duanmuhuai's body. Soon, Duanmuhuai saw several aliens wearing armor and holding long guns and short cannons walking out of the air. Then I saw these aliens raised their guns and aimed at Duanmu Huai --- the next moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and countless tentacles suddenly appeared, piercing through the bodies of these aliens, turning them into light spots and disappearing again.

At this moment, Duanmuhuai raised his arms high --- where the palms should have been, but now there were dozens of tentacles wriggling unceasingly.

"It seems that this thing is quite useful."

Looking at his own hands that have been transformed into tentacles with satisfaction, Duanmu Huai looked forward again. In front of him, dozens of extraterrestrial aliens quietly appeared.

"Then, let's have fun!"

"Da da da da da da...!"

The sound of clear footsteps echoed in the hall. Mary held the dagger tightly in one hand and ran forward desperately. Although the hall looked small, it was only after running that she realized that it was very spacious, almost as big as a square. Fortunately for Mary, she was used to similar situations.

"Roar-----!!"

Suddenly, a beam of light suddenly rushed over from the side, but Mary dodged to the side like a prophet, dodging the opponent's attack. At the same time, she lifted the hem of her skirt and shook it slightly to the side.

"Whoosh!"

Another beam of light almost flew past Mary's shoulder and hit the ground.

But even so, Mary still didn't stop because——she could see it.

There is obviously nothing in the space, but Mary can clearly see the appearance process of those monsters—in the empty space, countless characters suddenly appeared, and then these characters came together to form a Monsters, even she can see the trajectory and destination of the opponent's attack.

Although Duanmuhuai blocked the attacks of those monsters, they still held guns and tried to attack themselves from all directions. However, for Mary, there was no need to worry about this level of attack. When they aimed their guns at Mary, Mary had already clearly seen the trajectory of the aim——and the end point of the upcoming attack.

That is to say, for the other party, they may still think that they are a surprise attack, but in fact, Mary has clearly "seen" them before they appeared.

Is this the power of the golden pupil?

For Mary, this may be the first time she has clearly realized the power of her golden pupils, countless beams, and countless attacks, but this is not a problem, because she can see everything——find the gap, Then drill through.

"Woo!!"

Mary, who was running forward, suddenly rolled on the spot, dodging the giant hand caught from behind, she didn't even look back, but continued to run forward. Although Mary is not sure what these monsters look like in the eyes of others, in her eyes, they look like models made up of characters.

Coming soon!

At this moment, Mary has come to the bottom of the altar, and under the dazzling golden light, she can clearly see a polyhedral sphere inside.

That's the one!

The moment she saw the sphere, Mary already got the answer in her heart. It was not the result of thinking, but the answer of Jin Tong.

Mary almost rushed up, came to the altar, clenched the dagger in her hand, stabbed hard at the multi-faceted sphere in front of her, and then...

"Crack."

With a soft sound, the dagger in Mary's hand was completely shattered, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Hey? Hey hey?!"

Seeing this scene, Mary was stunned.

Wait, what's going on here? Didn't Miss Lumière say that just inserting the core would be fine? Did I screw up? What can I do now? Could it be that, because of his own mistakes, human beings are going to perish?

"Lyu, Miss Lumière?"

[Don't worry, Mary, you did a great job...it worked! 】

The moment Lumière's voice sounded, suddenly, the whole space began to tremble violently like an earthquake.

The next moment, the golden light beam was instantly dyed black.
