Chapter 25: The Overlap of Light and Shadow
Two identical women in black stood at the door of the bathroom and looked at each other, filled with an awkward atmosphere for a while.
After being in a daze for about a few seconds, Su Xing said dryly: "That, can you let it go?"
"Oh. ”
Xia Qiu nodded dumbly and stepped out of the way.
Su Xing held his breath and walked out slowly, pretending to be indifferent, and only after walking five or six steps, he heard Xia Qiu shouting from behind: "You stop for me!"
Su Xing shook a little, and ran away.
Xia Qiu in the back also immediately caught up, and she realized why she looked at this person so familiarly, because this was herself at all!
Several Internet café employees heard the voice of their boss, and immediately ran out of the lounge, and saw Su Xing, who was wearing Xia Qiu's appearance, running out with two long legs, and shouting as he ran: "Stop the crazy woman in the back!"
They were about to do what the boss said, and then another Xia Qiu rushed out from behind, shouting as they ran: "Catch the guy in front!"
Suddenly, several people were dumbfounded, and standing there chasing and chasing was neither stopping.
Xia Qiu saw his other self running out like this, his face was gloomy, and he waved his hand: "Go, call me out, I want to see who has been to the bathroom." ”
"Uh...... Boss?"
A few employees, you look at me, I look at you, all hesitate.
Xia Qiu glared at them angrily: "I'm real! If you don't go, half of this month's salary will be deducted!"
They ran into the monitoring room in a panic, and it didn't take long for them all to run out in a hurry: "The boss is not good!
Xia Qiu's eyebrows were about to wrinkle together, and she gritted her teeth fiercely: "Don't let me know who you are, otherwise you will be good-looking!"
Relying on the newly acquired ability after the miracle upgrade, Su Xing hacked all the surveillance records of the entire Internet café tonight, and then went home with Lagher and Miracle with peace of mind. Only Xia Qiu was left alone in the Internet café to train her employees with blood.
Back at home, Su Xing canceled his mimicry and changed back to his own appearance. Raguel on the side was dumbfounded, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
The reason why Su Xing wanted to bring him back was mainly because he was a data life that could communicate directly, and there were many questions that might be answered from him.
But before that, Su Xing also had to take stock of his gains.
One hundred and thirty-two data coins, a black iron battle flag, and a bunch of bits and pieces. Also, the miracle rose to a two-star ordinary.
With so many data coins, it is enough for Su Xing to increase all his attributes to 10 points.
However, considering the problem of the will test, who knows how long it will take to faint if the test is not passed. If something goes wrong, it's troublesome. So Su Xing still gave up the extra points for the time being.
There are no major changes in this upgrade of Miracle, except for one more skill: data control. It can erase or rewrite the information in the computer, and at its current level, it is close to its upper limit to launch it once against a place the size of the Blue Ocean Internet Café.
After sorting these out, Su Xing began to ask Laguel everything he knew about the data world.
With Lagher's narration, Su Xing officially had a preliminary understanding of this world.
As far as he has known since his birth, the world of data exists in a very special form.
It is real and illusory, it can be infinitely large or infinitely small, it can be a whole system of self-circulation, it can be just broken fragments, or even a certain data life itself can be a world.
Take the Lion City, for example. At the apex of the entire Lion City's data life is the Lion King who lives on the savannah, which is the symbol of the entire Lion City data network, and strictly speaking, even the Fire Fox Spirit and Lager are part of it. But this affiliation is of little use.
Raguel makes an analogy: if the Lion King is compared to a book, then their self-aware data life is like every page in a book, many pages make up a book, but the individual pages are not books.
Of course, the analogy wasn't quite right, but he couldn't think of a better analogy, and he didn't know enough information for him to deduce anything more.
As for the virus species encountered by Su Xing, Glaal knew a little about it.
Taking Lion City as an example, the three major parts of the savannah, wasteland, and sky and sea together form the main body of the Lion City's data world, and those small ecological communities are more like parasitic on these large areas.
As for what lies outside of this data world, Lagher gave an answer that was completely unexpected by Su Xing.
Originally, in Su Xing's view, the network in today's world is so developed, and this data world should also fully cover all places with networks.
But Lagher denied it.
Beyond the city, there is a data desert, a place of death where only those virus species can survive.
He didn't know why, or where the virus came from. Ragher only knows that more than a year ago, he participated in a pioneer war initiated by the Lion King, trying to expand the realm of the savannah into a data desert.
A total of more than 300 data lives participated in this operation, and although it was successful in the end, only a hundred data lives survived, and the rest were eroded and assimilated by a steady stream of virus species.
If it weren't for the Lion King's last-minute success in converting an entire desert into a grassland, forcing the virus species to retreat, it is estimated that Rager would not have been able to go back.
It was because of the injuries he sustained during this operation that he had to divide himself into twenty parts in order to speed up his recovery.
In his eyes, the virus species is an existence that comes from the same source as the data life but is diametrically opposed.
On the surface, the two are actually about the same, and even the abilities they possess are almost the same. But the most important thing is that viruses do not have the concept of self.
"Only by awakening oneself and knowing 'who I am' can one be regarded as a real data life. And they are more like the walking dead, with no other feelings other than insane aggression and eating instincts. ”
Lager remembers the battle with trepidation.
Strange-looking virus strains are emerging from the barren land, and even though their strength is so weak, they are large enough to overwhelm everything.
If it weren't for some reason, the virus instinctively refused to enter the world of data, giving them a chance to breathe. That operation was simply not going to succeed.
"So, you've never been to the data world of another city?"
