The seeds of the ice crack are very small, otherwise it would not be possible to spread offline through a USB stick with a limited storage capacity.

And because it was small enough, the makers gave up on making it a stand-alone piece of software and instead attached themselves to Maandala. It is only in Maandala's operating environment that the seeds can be released as "ice cracks" that can be seen and experienced.

"Do you really want to see it?"

"I really want to see it."

"I've only heard it once, that's it, aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Xie Weishi stood up and looked at her, with a dazzling smile: "Do you not believe me, or do you not believe yourself?" ”

Fang Chi was stunned.

She could see the fear of ice cracking deep within herself.

She didn't doubt Xie Weishi's self-control. Last night, when she was half asleep, she saw Xie Weishi shoot through the remaining eye of the meat pump. With such a miniature pistol, it is very difficult to aim, let alone at such a distance. It is impossible to practice that kind of accuracy without strong self-discipline and self-control.

But, it's ice cracking. Even ordinary drugs can destroy the will of the strongest people. What about ice cracking?

Fang Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a way to see the ice crack. ”

Xie Weishi smiled: "I also have one." ”

Fang Chiyi raised his eyebrows, "Then let's write it out separately and see if it's the same, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Xie Weishi nodded.

Each of them took a pen and wrote in the palm of his hand. When he clenched his fist and opened it, he saw what Fang Chi wrote in his palm:

【Dimensionality Reduction】

Xie Weishi wrote:

[Deconstruction]

Fang Chi smiled knowingly, and when he looked at Xie Weishi, Xie Weishi was also looking at her, with a subtle smile on his handsome face.

The "dimensionality reduction" that Fang Chi refers to is actually ripping the ice crack, turning it from a three-dimensional VR experience into a two-dimensional video recording, which can be viewed directly on the computer.

The biggest feature of virtual reality is that it is "immersive" - "I am part of this world", not a spectator. After the dimensionality is reduced, the hallucinogenic effect of ice cracking will inevitably be greatly reduced.

The "deconstruction" proposed by Xie Weishi is somewhat similar to Fang Chi's experience: with the help of the three independent systems of sound field, display and touch of virtual reality glasses, a complete ice crack is divided into sound, picture and touch to experience separately.

The basic principle of ice cracking is to cause special stimulation to the human body through audio-visual touch content with strong psychological suggestive meaning, so as to evoke strong changes in people's memory, consciousness, senses and emotions. After this deconstruction and splitting, the impact that can be caused is naturally weakened.

"Let's try 'dimensionality reduction', it's safer." Fang Chi marketed his own construction to Xie Weishi. After all, she had personally experienced the baptism of the ice cracking sound field, and she knew the pain of heartbreaking.

Xie Weishi raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, "If you don't try it yourself, how can you cure others?" ”

Fang Chi looked at his fingertips, which still had a lot of small scars, and asked, "To be a doctor and a hacker, why did you still choose to be a hacker?" ”

Xie Weishi smiled: "The family is a family of doctors, and when I was a child, I was full of spirit and wanted to surpass my father." If you want to practice your hands well, you can go to play e-sports if you have nothing to do. Playing with half a leg, I stepped into the hacker circle. ”

Fang Chi remembered that day in the library, his hands were tapping on the keyboard behind his back, and his slender fingers flew precisely, like playing a piano.

"And then?"

"I still want to be a doctor, but I can't go down the path of a doctor. People still have to live, just be a crow and eat together. Later, I slowly figured it out. What is surgical technique? If you find a mechanic on the road, you might be better than me. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to save some people. What's the difference between being a doctor and being a crow? ”

Difference Between White and Black. Fang Chi thought to himself, someone remembers you, and no one knows the difference between you.

Xie Weishi has already put on virtual reality glasses.

When he was about to make the gesture of "start", Fang Chi grabbed him.

"Don't get caught up."

The corners of his mouth curved, and he shook Fang Chi's hand: "You must fall in." But when I'm lost, pull me out. As he spoke, he waved his finger and activated the ice crack.

Fang Chi was still nervous in his heart.

――Be sure to get into it.

She understood what Xie Weishi meant.

Xie Weishi opened himself up and entered the ice crack.

Although she has only had a few brief contacts with Xie Weishi, she already knows very well that Xie Weishi is a person with a hard and dense self. How can a man born into a family of doctors in peacetime pull the trigger without changing his face? Fang Chi only knew that except for someone like her, who had been trained since childhood, it was not so easy for others to do it. Even if he is as good as Sheng Yan, after the first assassination mission that year, he still received psychological counseling.

Anyone has a psychological weakness. As long as you grasp it right, you can break it with one blow. But until now, she hasn't seen where Xie Weishi's weakness is.

Such a person has the strongest immunity to ice cracking.

If the ice crack was a bottle of sulfuric acid, those who were already covered in bruises would be corroded beyond recognition, rotting into the bones through the wounds, like her. But what about Xie Weishi? Not only is the skin intact, but there is even a thick shell. If he didn't remove the shell himself, how much would the ice crack hurt him?

But as Xie Weishi said, only when you are truly lost once can you know where the real horror of ice cracking is. He said he had to find a companion to watch it with, and that's why.

He trusted her.

Xie Weishi's expression was normal at first, and he stood relaxed. But gradually, his expression became more and more tense, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly up, and became straight as he pursed his lips hard.

One minute, one and a half minutes, two minutes, two and a half minutes...... Beads of sweat the size of beans began to ooze from Xie Weishi's forehead, and he began to open his mouth, making a vague sound, like "Dragon Shock".

This is a signal of loss.

Fang Chi walked over, grabbed his hands with both hands, pushed him back, and shouted, "Xie Weishi!" Xie Weishi! ”

Xie Weishi's body shook violently, her hands were spread, her five fingers were spread apart, and she held it hard.

His palms were hot. Fang Chi was settled. Xie Wei when he came out.

In a virtual reality like Maandala, there is a great sense of immersion and presence, but most users know in their hearts that they are in virtual reality and not in the real world.

And the most terrifying thing about ice cracking is that it can make the viewer lose themselves and start to lose their ability to distinguish between virtual reality and the real world. Just like last night, when she was in the midst of the icy soundstage, she lost her sense of self and felt herself merge with that dark and eerie tone.

Xie Weishi was the same just now. At this time, it is necessary to give him inconsistent feelings in the virtual world through people in the real world. Going backwards is the best way to do this, as it's rare to walk backwards in VR.

Once Xie Weishi realizes that what he sees in his eyes is in conflict with his own physical actions, he can detach himself from the experience of virtual reality and realize that all the qiē he has experienced is false.

It was as if he had entered a dream, and Fang Chi was his wake-up person.

Three minutes and fourteen seconds. It was so short, but Fang Chi felt as if several hours had passed. Her palms were hot.

Taking off Xie Weishi's virtual reality glasses, his eyes were open, dazed. Fang Chi grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously, but he felt his arms retract and hugged her in his arms.

"Xie Weishi......"

Fang Chi was slightly surprised, and then felt him sniff her deeply on her neck, his fingers digging deep into her long fluffy and uncombed hair, rubbing against the roots of her hair. His slender body exuded a slight damp heat, enveloping her tightly. This made her a little nervous.

"Is it over?" She asked.

"It's over." He said in a deep voice, his breath was still not very even.

"Should I break free of you and hide in the bedroom and lock the door?" She didn't have the strength to take him down now.

Xie Weishi laughed, "If that's the case, how can I give you a chance to break free." He let go of Fang Chi, turned his head sideways, walked to the computer and sat down.

Fang Chi noticed that his steps were slightly floating, and his deer-like eyes were covered with a layer of moist mist, burning hot and reddish.

She hesitated, walked over to him, and pressed her right hand down, covering his right hand that had fallen on the keyboard. Her hand was much more slender than his, pale and bloodless, and seemed to snap in his.

The five fingers of such a hand were inserted into his fingers and clasped into his palm.

"Can you feel me? Xie Weishi? ”

Xie Weishi did not speak.

Fang Chi leaned down* and gently kissed his lips with his head sideways. "So what?" Her kissing skills were very good, her lips tossing and turning, and the tip of her nose brushed against the tip of his, and her cool breath was entangled.

"Has anyone ever kissed you like that in your virtual world? Is it as real as me? ”

Xie Wei suddenly raised his head and pushed her away.

"Not yet, but later."

Hearing this, Fang Chi smiled in a low voice.

I can distinguish between the virtual and the real. At this time, he really came out.

"Do you still try?" Fang Chi asked.

"No need." Xie Weishi rubbed his forehead and said a little tiredly, "I can basically reverse the ice crack." ”

Fang Chi was shocked: "So fast?!" ”
