Chapter 568: The Sanctuary of Sleep
"The Pure Land Collapses, Starts the Resurrection Procedure......"
"No. PCI-0986133, Priority Ranks, Unfreezing Begins ......"
Cold voices, cold touches, cold breaths.
She woke up from her slumber and felt like she had had a long dream.
Defeated, Domined, Sleeping......
Memories drifted back into her frozen brain, and she ripped off the breathing mask from her lips and woke up completely.
The welling tears were already freezing on her face, and she wiped the ice away, and endless tears gushed out of her tear ducts.
Nightfall, night......
Now, it's just Guna.
She recalled the agreement before entering the freezer.
"Servers are built with multiple disks, and the user's consciousness will be offloaded, going through the world where each disk exists......"
"I ...... It's ...... them."
Guna sat up, her head jerking up, and saw her tear-stained face on the transparent glass.
"So ......"
"Who is Yemu?"
β¦β¦
Almost all of them woke up.
They have awakened from their long dreams, and they are still immersed in the beautiful dreams constructed by the "Pure Land".
White walls, white floors, white lights, white mechanical rooms.
Everything was white, including the sleeping costumes on the people.
Guna followed the numb crowd.
They are going to awaken the "host" that carries the entire Pure Land world.
[Protocol Content 0003: The "Pure Land" program will be borne by a user with the highest neural link value, if the user dies or the secondary center matrix program is destroyed, the "Pure Land" program will be permanently damaged, and all users will be forced to wake up]
This is the hall.
In the center of the hall, there is the person who carries the entire Pure Land world.
The ice lifted, the hatch opened, and Guna saw the girl slowly waking up.
Kuronomiya Sheng.
That's right, she is the existence that carries the whole world...... If you kill her at the beginning......
Then the whole matrix will collapse directly.
Everybody died, everybody came back to life.
Guna ignored anyone, she hurried to the control room, flipped out the list of awakenings, and typed in two Chinese characters - Yemu.
γSearching...... 1%γ
Her heart accelerates with the percentage beating until it reaches one hundred percent.
[No such person was found.] Please make sure that the information has been proofread. γ
Like falling into an ice cellar.
"No...... Yemu? β
β¦β¦
The sleepers began to talk.
They talk about their lives in the matrix, about what they have done in the matrix, about what is happening in the matrix......
"Hey, do you know about the Ice Castle incident?"
Guna suddenly heard such a voice.
She turned around and saw a teenager, facing a crowd with a blank face.
The small group that was talking to was unusually confused by the abrupt teenager, and they all shook their heads.
"Maybe we're not a hard drive."
Hard disk...... Parallel Universe ......
Guna stepped forward and grabbed the frustrated teenager.
"Arbitration?"
The young man was stunned, he looked Guna up and down on her face, and the word of surprise burst out of his mouth: "Night ......"
"I'm Guna."
She held out a hand, and the boy froze, he hadn't heard the name.
But he still reached out and shook her hand.
It's lukewarm to start with, as Guna takes longer to thaw.
He wanted to ask something, but Guna spoke first: "I know about the Ice Castle incident. β
"I know Lasalle."
"I know about the Recovery Force."
"I still know...... Night Mu. β
The confusion in the arbitrator's eyes subsided: "Sure enough, you are ......"
"I didn't find her."
Guna raised her hand, it was the personal terminal of this world.
It's far less intelligent, but it still projects the results of Guna's search for users.
"No Night......
They were temporarily accompanied.
There are many sleepers, and this is just a drop in the bucket of the human race in the outer world.
People talk excitedly at the beginning, and then wait silently at the back.
What are they waiting for.
Some people surrounded a young girl, and Guna found out that it was Heigong Sheng.
"Why did the Matrix destroy?"
"When does the next round start?"
When she heard these words, she was a little dazed.
When does the next round start?
Her memory went back to the scene at the end of the world, and Ye Mu smiled as she rose into the sky and fell apart.
Guna scurried up, squeezed through the crowd, and slapped the man who grabbed Heigongsheng's arm away.
"She woke us up...... It's not to move on to the next dream! β
After speaking, she grabbed Heigong Sheng's arm.
"Follow me."
Amidst the men's cursing, Guna pulled Heigong Sheng into the crowd.
"This is arbitration, and Count Zero."
Gu Na introduced the person in front of her to Heigong Sheng, and the girl's eyes gradually widened, and then slowly recovered.
"Count Zero...... What about zero sauce...... What about Yemu? β
The two shook their heads.
It was then that Guna remembered someone.
Qin Shou.
"Qin Shou is the one who presses the button, the one who puts us into a deep sleep."
"Maybe he'll know something!"
Arbitrator was a little excited, and the three of them went to the control room again and found the list of awakenings.
The ending is disappointing, there is no one named Qin Shou here.
But the arbitrator found a person named Qin Shou on the list of employees.
"Person in charge of the Afterlife Laboratory: Qin Shou."
They want to find Qin Shou.
β¦β¦
Gradually, the crowd began to get irritable.
They are looking forward to the next dream.
"What's going on?"
"I remember that my agreement was clearly written five hundred years! Why stop now? β
"I'm hungry, isn't there any food here?"
Guna looked at these people with disappointment, they hadn't really woken up yet.
They want to go on sleeping.
"Why don't we go outside and have a look?"
This sentence is unusually abrupt and unusually loud. The whole crowd fell silent.
All looked at the speaker, it was the arbitrator.
"Outside...... Is the war over? β
"Artificial intelligence will enslave us!"
"The whole world has fallen......"
"Are you going to war?"
"We're just ordinary people! There are no military men here! β
Guna's eyes gradually calmed down.
Yes, the soldiers have died on the battlefield, blocked in the cold steel land by robots, and only those who are greedy for life and afraid of death come here.
People who are greedy for life and afraid of death will only dream and will never wake up.
But Guna decided she had to get out.
"We've got to find a way to get out."
"Stay here...... We will starve. The tall girl Heigong Sheng said.
True, there is no food here, except water. If coolant counts.
"We have to go out, we have to find Dr. Qin Shou, he knows what the hell is going on......"
She's going to find Yemu.
The trio began to look for their way out, and they walked through one white hall after another, seeing those who had awakened from their coffin-like freezing devices.
Eventually, they came to a gate.
The cold white gate with a fingerprint collector on the CNC panel next to it.
Fingerprints are required to get out, or for someone outside to open it.
Suddenly, Heigong Sheng spoke: "Which of you still remembers the content of the agreement? β
The two were silent for a moment, and then the arbitrator spoke, "I remember. β
"The bearer user of the 'Pure Land' world has the authority to open the door."
The "Pure Land" program, which has an auxiliary artificial intelligence, and a human brain carries the diversion of the hard disk.
It can be said that the human brain is the place where the entire "Pure Land" is stored.
This human brain is Heigong Sheng.
"That's right, but I'm thinking of something else." Hei Gongsheng looked at the two of them, and there was a deep uneasiness in his expression.
That's when Guna remembered.
"Protocol 0098, when the Pure Land Program encounters unknown conditions and stops running, the laboratory will implement relevant measures or restart the Pure Land ......"
"But it's been two hours since we woke up, and the base artificial intelligence hasn't appeared, and the measures in the lab ......"
"I didn't see it either." Hei Gongsheng took over the words of arbitration, and his trembling lips and teeth exuded a thick uneasiness.
All three shuddered.
Something happened out there.
"So now...... Do you want to open it again? β
The three of them looked at the white door in front of them, like the gates of hell.
After a moment, a look of determination flashed in Gona's eyes.
"Turn it on."
β¦β¦
"Guna, you ......"
"Turn it on." Her words are unquestionable.
"It's very likely that there will be ...... behind this" Arbitrator's body trembled slowly, and at this moment, he and Count Zero in Gunna's impression were like two people.
"Yemu woke everyone up."
"We have left the future, escaped the present, and lived in the past."
"We are cowards, lowly ones."
"Now, we've woken up, it's time to get out."
Looking at Gu Nasen's cold eyes, the arbitrator was speechless.
"Those who live in the past will perish. How long can we sleep here? β
"A year? Two years? Decade? Forever? β
"We should ...... Let's face it. β
"I'm going to find Yemu."
The arbitration hesitated, and the two faced off.
At this moment, a weak voice came from the side.
"The ......"
"We should at least find some weapons......"
Gu Na looked at Heigong Sheng with a smile on her face.
β¦β¦
The sleepers in the hall fell into a deathly silence, and they fell into a dazed deep thought.
When the three figures regrouped in front of the gate, they had something more in their hands.
"I found the medical kit."
"I found the arsenal."
"I found the exoskeleton armor."
The other two stared dumbfounded, as the girl was putting on a pair of skeletal white armor from the box.
"It has plenty of energy, and it comes with a concussion dagger."
"I've got a pulse pistol here." The arbitrator sighed.
"Full set of medical kit ......" Hei Gongsheng activated the smart medical kit, and the pink LED light on it flashed, and she carried it behind her.
"Let's go."
The three of them looked at each other for three seconds, and Heigong Sheng put his hand on the fingerprint reader.
There was a heavy muffled sound from the door, and the old parts began to turn......
