When Neo and the others returned to the flying ship, there was only silence.

Everyone was silent, and the crew members of those flying ships naturally heard the conversation between Morpheus and the others and Fang Zheng, and at this moment, they were also at a loss.

If, as the man said, the world they live in is still not the real world, then what's the point of them fighting for it until now? In this kind of place like a stinky gutter, a precarious life is lived. The only source of motivation that can sustain them is their hope, their struggle.

But now, even all of this is false?

So, what exactly are they fighting for?

Neo didn't say a word, just sat down in his chair and didn't know what he was thinking. Morpheus clenched his fists, muttered to himself, and his eyes were red. Looking at the two of them, Trinity didn't know what to say. Although she was indeed surprised and surprised by this, she was not too shocked, after all, she had found the man she loved, and for Trinity, it was not about whether he was the savior or not, but because he was her own man.

That's enough.

"It's a lie, it's a lie!"

At this moment, Morpheus suddenly stood up and roared loudly. He shook his fist vigorously, his expression extremely hideous.

"I don't believe it! It shouldn't be like this! The Prophet told me that as long as we find the Savior, we will have a way to end this!! ”

“…………………”

However, Morpheus did not receive a response from anyone, and everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. They all gathered here because they believed in Morpheus. There are even some who Morpheus himself rescued from his mother's womb, like Neo.

But now, they don't know what to do about all this.

If what the man said is true, then ......... Morpheus didn't save them, he just pushed them into hell.

"All in all, we need to get back to Zion as soon as possible."

Trinity finally spoke.

"None of this has been confirmed at the moment, and we have to hand it over to the Committee, which will deal with it........."

“……………”

No one spoke, but the crowd, who had been sitting in their chairs like stone statues, began to work like robots. In any case, it will at least keep them from thinking about these headaches for a while. That's right, as long as they don't hear anything......... Just go back to Zion.........

With this in mind, everyone drove the flying ship towards Zion, and for some reason, all the mechanical squid that had been patrolling around the neighborhood disappeared without a trace, and they returned to Zion safely. However, when the group piloted the flying ship into Zion, they were keenly aware that something was not quite right in the whole city.

"What the hell is going on?"

Trinity stood at the window, frowning and staring outside. I saw that by the docking platform of the flying ship, it was densely packed with people. Not only that, but Zion, which was originally noisy, now looked like a morgue, dead silent. What are they doing here? Logically speaking, shouldn't Zion be preparing to resist the invasion of the Matrix right now?

"We'll be docked at Platform 2."

Soon, the pilot's voice was heard, and then the flying ship spun around in the air, and then came to a steady stop. Everyone picked up their bags and walked to the door of the flying ship. And as the hatch opened, the next moment, the scene in front of them surprised them all.

I saw that on the platform outside the flying ship, thousands of people stood there silently, staring at them, no one spoke, but the eyes that came one after another inexplicably made everyone a little panicked.

"It's ......... What's wrong? ”

At this moment, Neo also stepped off the flying boat, and when he saw this scene, he was also surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Trinity next to him and asked. Trinity just shook her head, and before she could answer, suddenly, a man walked out of the crowd not far in front of them.

"Neo......... What you said earlier......... Is it all true? ”

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the man's endless inquiry, Neo was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. And at this moment, someone else stood up next to him.

"That's a lie! We are still living in the mother or something, it's all fake! It's the real world, right? ”

"What the hell is going on! Isn't this the real world? What are we fighting for? ”

"This ............"

Hearing the passionate inquiries of the crowd, Morpheus and the others suddenly changed their faces. They had no idea that the people of Zion would know what was happening in the Mother's Body! How is this possible? They didn't even mention it to Zion!!

"Captain Morpheus."

At this moment, several heavily armed soldiers separated the crowd and walked in, and the man at the head looked at Morpheus with a complicated expression, and then spoke.

"The council wants to see you and your crew, now, immediately."

“…………”

Hearing the soldier's order, everyone looked at each other, and then followed the soldier towards the council with a tired pace.

When Morpheus and his party arrived in the council hall, it was already full of people, each with different expressions on their faces, some dazed, some frightened, some desperate, and even some angry. And seeing Morpheus and the others walk in, they suddenly raised their heads and set their eyes on Morpheus.

"Captain Morpheus."

Eventually, an old councillor spoke first.

"I would like to ask what you have encountered in the mother's body."

“……………”

Hearing the old councilor's question, Morpheus didn't answer it immediately, he glanced around, and then withdrew his gaze again.

"Before I do that, I want to know......... What really happened to Zion? ”

"Hum ........."

In the face of Morpheus's inquiry, another female congressman snorted coldly and then spoke.

"Not long ago, someone hacked into our Zion console and did a 'live broadcast' for us......... It's a conversation between you and a man and a man named the Creator........."

"What?!"

Hearing this, not only Morpheus, but even Neo and Trinity were taken aback. Although they had already had similar speculations before they came to the council, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it with their own ears. Of course, you don't have to ask all three to guess who did it. But......... Why did he do it?

No wonder Zion is the way it is.

After receiving the answer, Neo and Trinity exchanged glances. They are also well aware that the people of Zion are like-minded, and they have always believed that they are fighting against the army of machines that enslave humanity, and that they see themselves as the righteous side. But if all this is just a "game map" designed by the parent body, then what's the point of their battles? Is their struggle, their determination, their will, and even the inheritance of all this just a joke?

"Now, we want to know one thing! Captain Morpheus! What do you know? Is that real?! ”

At this moment, another councillor couldn't help but slap the table and shout, obviously, looking at his appearance, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Morpheus, on the other hand, was silent for a long time, then shook his head.

"No, Councillor, I think those are lies."

"What?"

Hearing this, not only the councillors, but also Neo and Trinity were taken aback, and they looked at Morpheus in surprise, completely unable to understand why he said that.

"It's simple, councillors."

At this moment, Morpheus seemed to have finally thought of something, and his expression was no longer as solemn as before.

"I suspect that all of this is just a play directed by the Mother Body trying to destroy our will to resist, and not the real facts!"

"So, do you have proof?"

"Of course I have proof!"

Saying this, Morpheus pointed sharply at Neo.

"I think many of you here know Neo and have even seen him in action in his mother's body. I think you'll remember that Neo is a transcendent being, and he can easily fly across the matrix and fly above the sky. And if this world is also a virtual world, then Neo should be able to show the same ability! Not only him, but also us, we are all able to do something that we can't do in reality, and isn't this the most powerful evidence? If all this is just a virtual world, then we should be able to break through the shackles of this body! ”

"This ........."

Hearing Morpheus's answer, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, as he said, if this is a virtual world, then these people should be the same as in the mother's body, they can have superhuman strength. But in fact, here, they don't have much power.

"That is, you think the other person is lying?"

"That's right!"

At this point, Neo confirmed his guesses more and more.

"The mother must be scared! Because it senses the existence of the Savior, it wants to completely destroy our will to resist in this way! Even those two people, I suspect they might be a new breed of computer people, not humans! After all, if it were just ordinary humans, they wouldn't have that kind of power! ”

“……………”

Hearing this, the crowd, which had been a little commotionous, finally calmed down, and many people sighed, obviously, they thought that what Morpheus said was correct.

Or rather, they hope that what Morpheus says is correct.

Only Neo still frowned, he always felt that although Morpheus's words sounded reasonable, they didn't seem to be enough, and .........

"Knock knock!!"

Suddenly, at this moment, with the sound of hurried footsteps, a man rushed into the council out of breath, and he pushed the door open with all his might, looked at the crowd in front of him, and then shouted.

"We detect the Mechs approaching Zion!!"

"What?!"
