The cuckoo is an elusive woman, sometimes meticulous and meticulous, but sometimes insane. It seems that he doesn't care at all if he dies in the next second.

Xia Ran smiled bitterly: "You really don't need to be competitive with this kind of promise, you should have entered this place many times in the Land of Freedom, so you won't be curious about it." ”

"But I've never experienced such a thrilling situation, it's funny, isn't it?"

Xia Ran nodded helplessly and said, "It's up to you." After saying that, he walked straight like Alan who was running the system, and after pulling a distance from the cuckoo, Xia Ran suddenly whispered: "Xiaojie, keep an eye on this woman." ”

Xiao Jie's slight consent was heard in his ears, and the expression on Xia Ran's face still did not change. He is very unpredictable about the cuckoo, and in order to prevent any changes, he must always prepare in advance.

When Xia Ran walked to Alain's side, Alain shook his huge body and said to Xia Ran: "The machine is fully operational, and now it is updating its digital analogue library, it has not been running for a while, and now it needs a more advanced state of secret protection." ”

Xia Ran nodded and suddenly said to Alan: "As far as you know, how many times has the 'Sword of Breaking the Net' been discovered by Skynet?"

Xia Ran's problemXia Dye made Alain quite dissatisfied, like when you told a boatman about a shipwreck. But Alan still said to Xia Ran: "The establishment of the Land of Freedom is not particularly long, only more than thirty years ago, and the number of 'Net-Breaking Swords' exposed during this period of time is about a hundred, which means that an average of three 'Net-Breaking Swords' will be discovered by Skynet every year. But in fact, the accident rate in the early years was very good, and in the past few years, there have been very few accidents, and even in the past five years, only three 'swords of breaking the net' have been discovered. ”

Xia Ran said: "So it seems that our winning rate is still quite high." ”

Alan said: "The problem is not like this, in the past thirty years, Skynet has never exerted its true strength, and the opponent of the Land of the Free is also tightly a Skynet in a 1/2 state, but now Skynet is almost full of firepower, so the number of successes will be greatly reduced." ”

Xia Ran smiled slightly when he heard this, obviously Alan is not such an easy person to deal with. Xia Ran then said: "I will be careful in the whole process." ”

"You have to be careful, my whole net worth is now in your hands. ”

Alain's words were angry, but also helpless.

Xia Ran smiled: "Just leave it to me." ”

Alan shook his head helplessly, no matter how resistant he was to Xia Ran, now he only trusted the person in front of him.

Alain pointed to the operation table not far away, "That's your operation center, I will be here to assist you, I hope the two of us can successfully complete this." ”

Xia Ran said: "It is inevitable that the martial arts will be prosperous." With that, he walked straight to the console.

The appearance of the console of the "Sword of the Net" is more like an immersive cabin for somatosensory games, with two sets of multi-key operation keyboards in front of the cabin seat, and six small screen projection windows in front of you, which looks more like the cockpit of a spaceship.

Xia Ran sat in the operation cabin, his hand touched the keyboard, and the self-synthetic ceramic texture rushed to the slightest coolness, and the slippery touch made Xia Ran feel unconsciously refreshed.

The whole night was all for this moment, and all of Xia Ran's actions so far have gone extremely smoothly, and I hope that I can still succeed in the future.

"The 'infiltration' operation begins immediately, and the countdown is one minute. 60、59、58...”

Natsu Ran slowly closed her eyes, trying her best to rest her eyeballs in the dark, while constantly adjusting her breathing, trying to stabilize her emotions.

"The first-order database has been updated, and the countdown is 41 seconds..."

"The second-order database has been updated, and the countdown is 34 seconds..."

...

"The seventh-order database has been updated, and the countdown is 10 seconds..."

Natsuran breathed deeply, leaving her entire lungs fully inflated.

“5、4、3、2、1。 Dive in and begin!"

At the moment when Alan gave the command, Xia Ran suddenly opened his eyes, and two cold gazes were like sharp arrows shooting on the screen, and then his palms on the keyboard began to beat rapidly, and the high-elastic and low-falling fingers were like flowers blooming in the blizzard, blooming dazzling petals.

A string of character instructions began to run, running in the system of the "Sword of the Broken Net", and at the same time transmitted through the network, through layers of covert encrypted network signals connected to the land of freedom.

"Everything is fine on the line, and the analog signal is not captured by Skynet. ”

After hearing the safety signal, Xia Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and the turbid breath that he inhaled into his lungs slowly relaxed.

Soon, the network signal of the "Sword of Breaking the Net" entered the free land of Liujie.

As a program pops up on the screen, a brilliant curve pattern is revealed, and the curves rotate and intertwine rapidly, quickly forming a huge bee pattern, which at that moment makes people feel as if they are in a huge network hive.

"Successfully connected. Alain breathed a sigh of relief, and now it seemed that the god of luck was indeed on their side.

"Next, activate the escort mode, please solve the matter quickly, and then we will start to return home. ”

"OK, Roger. ”

Xia Ran's eyes quickly scanned the screen, and the hives were encrypted cyberspace, where people could conduct various transactions without the outside world knowing. However, in this huge network hive of hundreds of millions, where to find "Prometheus"?

Previously, Tanaka promised Natsu that they would meet in the Land of Freedom in the future, but the two did not have time to agree on a specific time and place, and the secret protection and password used when connecting were not at all.

Trying to find someone in the land of freedom can be said to be a complete needle in a haystack.

But now Natsuran has no choice, even if he doesn't know if Tanaka exists in the land of freedom, and he doesn't know exactly which cyberspace he is in, he has to work hard to dig it out, and he will knock on the "door" of every cyberspace here to find out the truth.

...

Time passed minute by minute, and fifteen minutes had passed in the blink of an eye, and there were other superfluous noises in the underground space of Nuoda except for the sound of Xia Ran and Alain's frantically tapping on the keyboard.

The cuckoo stood at a distance from them, as if fearing that it would disturb them, witnessing everything from the perspective of an extremely quiet spectator.

Suddenly, the cuckoo said softly: "It is said that men who are attentive are the most attractive, and these two people now belong to this category." But isn't everyone in this room working diligently?"

The cuckoo was speaking this to the air, but he was not talking to himself.

After not answering, the cuckoo smiled again, and said, "Our voices will not disturb them, and wouldn't it be too boring for us to stand here like this?" ”

"Of course, I also know that you are a shy person who is not good at words, or that you are willing to come and be the shadow of Xia Ran tonight, but it doesn't matter, what can I say, you just be a listener. ”

"Do you know why I came here with him and insisted on staying here? It's just that I want to talk to you, and it's not necessarily convenient for Xia Ran to be around. Although I haven't been with Xia Ran for a long time, I also know the basic temperament of this person, and I said that Hugo is cautious and suspicious, but why shouldn't Xia Ran be? I believe that before he dealt with those things, he asked you to keep an eye on me, just in case something unexpected? Hehe, in this regard, he really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

"I'm a little bit out of the way, so let's talk about what I want to talk about. ”

"Xia Ran has a very strong Hugo label on his body, which means that he is Hugo's person, which is why he is so impatient during the period of Hugo's disappearance, because in a way, Hugo is his capital to settle down in the metropolitan area. ”

"I don't know your identity, but according to my guess, you are not one of Hugo's men, because Hugo is really not a good gangster, he has always played the role of a lone wolf, he looks very free, but in fact he is quite stupid. ”

"In this case, I guess your identity is probably from the Manken Society, and now anyone with two ears knows that Hugo is very close to the Manken Society, so it's not surprising that I know this. ”

"I know that the Manyan Club is also having a hard time during this time, and there are a lot of internal and external troubles. It also suffered the greatest loss in several large-scale battles, and the former scenery is gone. ”

"But it's normal for this situation to occur today, after all, the Manken Club was in an absolutely neutral state in the early days. But absolute neutrality is not a sign of peace, but a strong attitude of independence. Naturally, the world will not accept you, with or without malice. And the Blasphemer Syndicate, led by TAROT, will not see you as friends. So you are now in a situation where you are completely hostile. I don't think anyone will want to be friends with you except Hugo, a lone wolf. ”

"But have you or you ever thought about something long-term, and where will the Manken Society go when this war is over?"

"If the world wins, then there will still be no Mankensha in Tsukishima, and for the military, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Holy Church, the new human race will be completely eradicated to the root of the victory. They will go to great lengths to wipe you out. ”

"And what if the blasphemer side wins? I don't need to say that it will not be you who will win in the end, but sadly the victor will still be your enemy. ”

That is, unless the Manken Society becomes independent on its own and achieves a final and complete victory, this can be regarded as a temporary victory. So how likely do you think that is? Even if you win, then you will have no enemies to face after that? Do you think that the other powers of this world will allow a continental power to be ruled by a new alien human?"

"This struggle will go on and on indefinitely, on a larger scale, on a more intense scale, and that's all, is that what you want to see?"

"So, no matter what it goes, Mankensha has become an almost complete loser. And this failure means death. Are you willing to die like this?"

"Having said all that, I just wanted to give one piece of advice. Now that the scale of the war has not yet reached the point where it is out of control, make a friend and choose a safe path. That's right, I'm the one who loves to make friends. ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the cuckoo's face, and two dimples appeared, which was particularly intoxicating.

Cuckoo continued: "Unlike an old fox like Capone, it is not reliable to choose someone like him, and the forces of the Weta family are all hit in the Moon Island, no matter how they survive in the future, they will conflict with your interests, and at that time I don't need to say that you should also think about what the outcome will be." ”

"In comparison, I have a lot of advantages. I'm not from Tsukishima, and I don't have any scruples about laws and rules. Compared with the so-called free place on the Internet, the real free place is in the flowing street. Thinking about the frenzied suppression and massacre of the desecrators in the first nine places, a large number of desecrators absconded into the streets, which have been peaceful coexistence of people in the streets for many years, without any crazy armed conflicts. Perhaps, from the essence, the mountain generals, whether they are desecrators or outcasts, are the people who have been abandoned by Tsukishima by this world. ”

"It's a pity that the forces that have been conceived in the street for many years have been taken away by the leeches, and now there are only a handful of desecrators in the street. ”

"Unlike others, I don't think the blasphemer is dangerous, I'm more inclined to say that the blasphemer is an evolutionary form of the world, and it can coexist with humans. ”

"In Tsukishima, in the metropolitan area, you cannot live with the world. But in the middle of the streets, you can. You can keep your freedom, you can maintain your power, and you can do whatever you want with your faith. And there is no government or military control there. And even if there is conflict, the displaced people will be on your side and will be your staunchest allies. ”

After saying so much, the cuckoo slowly crossed his arms and said: "Things are really simple, you come to Liujie, there will be the greatest security guarantee for you, and your arrival will also bring new prosperity to Liujie." It's an absolute win-win, what do you think?"

Cuckoo smiled: "No matter what you think, I said so many things alone, you should always give me a reaction." ”

The cuckoo waited for a moment after speaking, and suddenly the cuckoo felt that his long hair on the right side was gently lifted by an invisible force.
