He Rui slumped on the scarlet throne, lazily looking at the brilliant murals reaching up to the sky, like a lazy lion without bones. Ragnarok, this is indeed a masterpiece, a work that only a creator favored by the gods, or the gods themselves, can depict. However, even if it is such a masterpiece, you will get bored if you read it day after day. .
He Rui sighed, his blood-like eyes facing the World Tree that was entangled and swallowed by the black dragon Nidhogg. He grabbed the ancient book at hand and flipped through several pages. The thin and fragile paper made a trembling sound, and he shouted casually. : "Ymir..."
The woman's name disappeared between his lips and teeth. He Rui was startled, and then smiled nonchalantly: "Ah... I forgot, now is not the time for you to wake up."
He put down the book and beat his shoulders. His face was full of faint fatigue. The words on the pages reflected the light of the dome. The tall man sat here, sitting in this lonely and dead splendid place, like the last generation. emperor.
"Can a lion also guard the sheepfold?" He Rui suddenly lost interest while flipping through the book. He threw the book aside, "Unfortunately... I don't have such patience."
He laughed and said to himself: "Only... when doing the most despicable things, but still maintaining the power of thunder, can it be regarded as the demeanor of a king... "
At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he sensed something surprising at that moment, and then he laughed loudly. The high-pitched laughter surged in the empty and lonely hall, roaring like an ancient bronze bell. Like thunder, it makes people tremble.
"My time has come. Some people are born after death!" He laughed hoarsely. He did not stand up from the throne, but stretched out his arms and tried his best to reach the world-destroying black dragon on the dome, just like the dying black dragon in the past. The dead mad king, the black dragon on the mural also flapped its wings and turned its ferocious head towards him, its eyes as red as blood.
At the same moment, Wen Zheliu's eyes rolled slightly.
There was a gentle white light in front of him, and something in the light was undulating brilliantly, like a field of flowers swaying in the wind.
He opened his mouth slightly. It was strange. He had obviously already made the action of "opening his mouth", but as if there was some delay, he opened his lips in his consciousness. After two or three seconds, he felt his lips and teeth move slightly. For a moment.
This is…
"... wake up... really... soon..."
"... people...! Call... come...!"
"One day... wake up..."
There seemed to be someone talking excitedly in his ears. Wen Zheliu smiled and felt that this scene seemed familiar. In the second world, he had experienced such treatment when facing Happy Dawson's triple illusion. , except that it was false then, but now it is...
He was suddenly stunned. At this moment, those memories emerged from his slow brain. He Qin asked Du Zijun and Xie Yuanyuan to take him through the entire transfer station, find the weak points of the data world, and then tore apart the The channel connecting the present world jumped into the turbulence with him.
So currently this is... back
He used all his strength to open his eyelids just a crack. Subconsciously, his eyes had already been opened to the point of bursting, but when reflected on his body, he could only do so weakly. Wen Zheliu was a little anxious. In addition to opening the Uncanny Valley and connecting to Nova City, he and He Qin also had to go to his house to get back his parents' inheritance. Time was tight, and with such a sick body, it would take him until the year of the monkey. go
His consciousness gradually returned, and his control over his body became stronger. Many figures were wandering around in front of him, but he was naked, and his limbs were imprisoned on the dark and precise mechanical arms... Damn, what kind of plot is this? ah! It was so frightening that even the vegetative person jumped up!
His emotions fluctuated violently, causing him to cough weakly several times. The water mist on his breathing mask dissipated repeatedly, and something cool and heavy swayed on his chest at the same time, making a tiny collision sound. He managed to lower his head. , saw two silver dog tags, one was his own and the other was He Qin's.
"...Are you awake?" A hoarse laughter came from beside him, and Wen Zheliu turned his head - even such a small movement took all his strength. He saw He Qin lying side by side in the same safety cabin with him, his face pale but his eyes as bright as stars.
Wen Zheliu looked at him. This was the first time they met in the real world.
"...Ah," he said softly, "Wake up."
The current situation of n-star can be said to be very bad. The Holy Nun's influence on human beings is increasing day by day. More than half of the network is paralyzed. The number of people being dragged into the uncanny valley is still increasing. After enjoying hundreds of years of convenient technology, human beings are forced to return to the age of oil and gas. The smart butlers and AI around them have become untrustworthy bombs that can explode at any time. Using the star network will make you fall into a coma where you don’t know when you will wake up. Among them... But no one expected that when n-star tried his best to fight against the Holy Nun, the third executive actually broke through the data barrier of the uncanny valley and returned to reality from the virtual world.
He Huaizhou looked at his grandnephew with a complicated expression. He Qin and Wen Zheliu had already changed their clothes and were sitting opposite him, Adide, and the other ten directors.
Wen Zheliu's identity was no longer a secret at this time. Wen Shu and Liu Huaimeng died trying to stop He Rui's Holy Body plan more than ten years ago. He disappeared into the sea of people. He Qin tried every means to He could not be found, but on the night of the Holy Sisters' riot, he was found fainted in front of a cafe with He Qin's authority key hanging around his neck.
The executive who discovered that he didn't dare to neglect him took Wen Zheliu directly back to the headquarters. He Huaizhou saw He Qin's dog tag hanging on him and knew that his name was Wen Zheliu, so he immediately knew his origin. During this period, his nominal uncle and aunt had not come to see anyone, but they were all turned away. The couple did not understand the seriousness of the matter, and when they were still reluctant to let go, they did not expect that the scientific research department directly under He Huaizhou There are still many old people who hold real power, all of whom were friends who worked with Wen Shu and Liu Huaimeng in the past. You must know that geniuses are a little eccentric and mad. They didn't even have time to say hello to He Huaizhou, and they directly forcibly tampered with the memory of people. Even Liu Tianxiong, who was at home and hadn't gone out, was not spared. He was only released after brainwashing. The couple, who was so confused that they almost became cerebral palsy, went back.
Adide knew this and lost his temper. n-star is now in trouble both internally and externally. The eyes of the whole world are staring at it, waiting for the results of ending this catastrophe. This is the time when we need to be careful. What if we rashly turn three living people into mentally retarded people? Another storm that requires effort to quell
Of course, Wen Zheliu, who is sitting here, still doesn't know about this little thing.
"Make up your mind, agree or reject?" He Qin was the first to speak. He had been trapped in the Uncanny Valley for several months. Even though he had the original foundation to support him and had top-notch medical equipment to recuperate him, he still lost a lot of weight. , only the momentum is sharper, like a magic weapon with an unsealed sheath, showing the majesty of dominating the world, not retreating, but moving forward.
The remaining ten high-ranking directors looked ugly and turned their heads to avoid his gaze. This is indeed a very strange thing. Logically speaking, the concept of equality, freedom and democracy in the 24th century should be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than in the ignorant and semi-civilized era of previous centuries. However, all the directors under He Qin None of them could rely on their old age in front of him for reasons such as "seniority" or "old age". The fear from the bottom of their hearts made them treat him like a monarch.
In fact, the reason for this is very simple. In the past, when He Qin walked into the conference hall after sitting in the executive position, wearing a suit and leather shoes, but carrying an ancient Tang sword on his waist, all the directors were muttering in their hearts, don't know this? What kind of first look would the youngest executive in history give them. And this "youngest executive in history" was personable, with a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face. He was more handsome than any male star invited by the N-star planning department to endorse... Then he cut off the thirteen-meter-long face with a knife. The conference table was cut into two halves, with both ends and beards sharp and smooth, as if the conference table was originally a detachable thing.
"If you have any questions, I will personally clear them up for you." His smile was impeccable, and his voice was as gentle as a flirt. "This table is a testimony."
…shit! The ten directors' backs were wet with cold sweat, and they were roaring and wailing in their hearts. This is no longer a human being, this is called a super power! What you wanted to eliminate just now was not the problem but us, right? This person has such a damn bad character!
"Huh?" He Qin looked around and seemed a little surprised by the silence. "Everyone? Why don't you speak? Please express your opinions. Every minute and every second of our time is precious."
"I personally think..." a director said carefully, "it's better for Mr. He Huaizhou to speak first..."
"Okay," He Qin took over the conversation smoothly, "What do you think, uncle?"
He Huaizhou had been pondering, and now he finally said: "It's very risky."
Adide said: "Yes, it's very risky."
"Although it is a suggestion made by players, using non-professionals to fight against the giant AI is tantamount to risking your life. Even if you win in the end, it will be a miserable victory and not worthy of any celebration." He Huaizhou said, his dove-grey eyes His eyes glowed with regret, "What's more, even if it's a tragic victory, you may not be able to win it."
"That's the problem," He Qin said. "I understand that there is no point in pursuing blame now, but in order to satisfy my curiosity, I still have to ask, Cuiyulu, who gave the Holy Nun the authority?"
There was silence in the conference room.
"If there was no Jade Record and no ability to dismantle and reorganize props, we could have opened up S-level props to players and hunted and blocked the Holy Sisters. The situation would have been different immediately." He Qin sneered, " How come you have fallen to this point, passively being beaten and losing all face?"
A director said: "The release of "Uncanny Valley" is n-star's top priority. At that time, the Holy Nun Jade Record was given, and it was also based on the idea that the mastermind could repair and complete the loopholes in the game world on its own, and even make the uncanny valley become It became a world with full freedom of independent evolution and development, which was also one of the key points of the propaganda at that time... "
"Then you shouldn't set up such a plot and life experience for her," Wen Zheliu couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I have no intention to interrupt your speech, nor to excuse the behavior of the holy nun, but while personifying AI, While imprisoning AI in an endless cycle of misery, no one could have predicted that even if there was only one in a thousand chances that she would become like this?"
The conference room fell into dead silence again. The directors had already known Wen Zheliu's identity, and He Qin's authority dog tag was hung around his neck. Even if they were dissatisfied with his rash intervention, no one could be the first to do so. Come out and preach.
He Huaizhou looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
"You are very much like your mother," he said warmly, his tone full of nostalgia, "You look like your father, and your personality is like your mother."
Wen Zheliu couldn't help but be startled: "Ah..."
He Qin held his hand: "Let's talk about old times down here, didn't we? Our time is very precious. Do you have any other objections? Can you tell them all?"
The last sentence was addressed to the ten directors.
Another director said slowly: "The biggest flaw in the plan, Mr. He Huaizhou has already said. Overall, this is a high-risk, low-return investment project. I believe no investor would want to pay for it." It takes a little more effort.”

"It is impossible to reduce the risk. From the moment the Holy Nun went on a rampage and millions of hostages were trapped in the Uncanny Valley, low-risk plans no longer exist." He Qin said, "Then according to my uncle's idea, how can Let’s increase the returns?”
He Huaizhou said nothing, adide said: "As early as three weeks ago, the Holy Nun broke through the 777-layer firewall and officially entered the human world. The existing protection methods cannot cause any substantial damage to her. Even we are now Her conversation may also be being monitored by her. Indeed, according to the principle, things in the virtual world end in the virtual world. This is the most appropriate solution. But the problem is that you have too few chips in your hands. Just ask a poor guy, How about making big bets on the world’s gaming table?”
"What kind of chips?" He Qin asked with a brow.
"S-level props." Adeide knocked on the table, "That is the real data key of Nova City, with supreme authority... Conceptually, Nova City itself is a 4S-level prop. Even if the Holy Nun holds the Jadeite in her hand Recording, there is no way to dismantle a large number of S-levels for a while, even if the player has a 2s-level key, the battle situation will take a shocking turn."
"But the players don't have it." He Huaizhou was worried, "The highest level player has is only the Suiren race of the Fire of the World. It turned out to be a 2s-level weapon, but as far as I know, the Fire of the World wants to reach the top as soon as possible. In the Uncanny Valley, the determination to disperse and carry the Suilin species has resulted in the level drop of this 2s-level item. The level of the Suilin species stored in Nova City is only S+. Even if we can decentralize a batch of S-level acquisition methods... "
Wen Zheliu gently squeezed He Qin's palm. He Qin lowered his eyebrows and nodded.
"I understand." He looked directly at He Huaizhou and Adide, "Please give me a moment."
