"You are ... This... You...? The woman's hands stretched out in front of her body, looking at Guo Zhouyi in a posture that seemed to be lifting something.

Then everything froze, and the indescribable gray that Guo Zhouyi felt poured out from the distant sky that seemed to be covered by yellow sand, covering everything in front of him, including the woman who made the word "mother" sound again in his heart, and then abruptly stopped at his feet. Guo Zhouyi blinked in horror, then turned his head to look back, and found that the color behind him was still the same, the world had been divided into two halves, and the gray-white realm line was under his feet. Unable to restrain the surging in his heart, Guo Zhouyi stretched out his hand to the gray "wall" that connected heaven and earth.

The cold feeling came the moment he touched the wall, making Guo Zhouyi fall to his knees all of a sudden, his eyes bulging out and panting, and in the midst of the difficult breathing, he raised his hand in front of his eyes, and there was a thin wound on it, from which bright red blood was gushing out. The "wall", from which angle is it a line...

"I'm late, I'm sorry, and I'm sorry to delay your meeting."

With these words, two hands appeared in front of Guo Zhouyi's eyes, and a piece of tape-like thing was pasted on the wound on Guo Zhouyi's fingertips. The suffocating feeling disappeared from Guo Zhouyi's body in an instant, as if the oxygen had resumed its flow, and Guo Zhouyi felt that his body had regained its mobility. He looked to the side and saw a half-crouching man in a gray cloth-like outfit smiling kindly at him, and behind the man, a woman with long gray-white hair and a blue dress was nodding to him as she pulled her hair that seemed to have been blown by the wind.

"For you now, it may be bound to infect and destroy the world framework of your program core, but for her and me, it will not have any effect, so the wind from the desert is blowing on us now, get up." As if he could read Guo Zhouyi's thoughts, a man in a gray cloth suit pulled Guo Zhouyi up.

"Adam's realm, a bit romantic, she calls it that, but when it comes to the root, it's actually just a means of isolating the interval of the file program, are there any other doubts?" Before Guo Zhouyi asked why the other half of the gray world looked so similar to the color of the man's clothes, the man took the first step to answer Guo Zhouyi's doubts.

"The quarantine interval of the filer?" Guo Zhouyi, who was still a little dizzy, looked at the man and the woman who was walking over suspiciously.

"Yes, quarantine area, if it is really Guo Zhouyi who is not infected here, you can probably understand what I am saying, just like the way you probably learned in history class to deal with some virus programs in the old era that cannot be deleted, remember?"

"History Temporal-Teaching-Programme HTTP (History-Temporal-Teaching-Programme)-03-FG2?" A set of numbers and a picture appeared in Guo Zhouyi's mind, as if the pages of a book had been burned out from behind by flames.

"yes, it's great to think about it, the closer you are to me and her, the stronger your memory lock should be, so it's great to be able to think about it, so what I'm going to say next is simple. Viruses that can't be deleted for the time being, virus programs that can't be deleted, isolate them first, and prevent them from eroding the normal programs in the system, which is the purpose of the program that looks like a line to you. ”

"You are ... Truly... The flame burned the blank pages out of the hollowed out text and graphics began to appear in front of Guo Zhouyi's eyes again, only this time, the flames disappeared after burning out the hollows of the words, and through the hollows of the symbols and words that Guo Zhouyi did not recognize, some faint light gradually filled those holes and turned those words into entities. In the moment before those rays of light filled the hollowed out words, Guo Zhouyi saw something that shocked him through the last gap that closed, and then he looked down sharply.

Part of the clothes on the waist and part of the pants are gone, and the line of text is stretching from the navel (Note 1) to the sides.

"That's the root of the current situation," the man in gray nodded, "The darkness is the last calamity that struck before, so if you were a descendant of the Eternal Son, you would probably accept the eyes at that time, but you are different, all the children of the rules are different, you are connected to the darkness, or rather, to the mother." ”

"What do you mean by being connected to the mother?"

"First, what do you think is the light behind the soul programming language you just saw? That is, the light that the baby feels at the moment of birth in the mother's womb, why do you see the light at that time, it is because part of the foundation of this world is your father and mother, so in the first sense, part of the base of the program framework of this world is connected with you, and this is also the program channel that is losing * points to you; Second, you are indeed making a subconscious call to your father and mother, and this call is stronger in this world than ever and more than anyone can imagine. ”

"This world? Yes, this world, the latest ... Game... I'm here now... ”

"It's not in the program, but it's no longer outside the program, a gray area, so I can rest assured that you can touch the back of the world, but even so, I have to warn you first."

"Warning?"

"Yes, warning. Because you're going to have to deal with programs that should have been deleted. ”

"You mean..." Guo Zhouyi looked at the world frozen in gray.

"Yes, in this world, there are two kinds of programs that you can see, the first is the AI loop and the world programming architecture that are all over the world and fill the world, and the second is the virus."

"Virus? That is, virus? ”

"Yes, for the world, that's the virus, the program space of this world is emptied, and the program fragments that cannot be deleted when making room for your arrival, the program fragments that cannot be deleted except for self-destruction, heh, you can't see the normal operation of the world framework program, and this abnormal framework program will only appear in front of individuals who have something to do with the program?"

"I don't really understand what you're saying."

"The answer is one, think about it, the stars shine in the night sky, but you can't see the programs that define this shine, these are the framework programs that define the world, you can't see them, you can feel them, you use them, but you can't see them, and you shouldn't see them; The second answer is that what you see is the world framework program that is not functioning properly, such as the undead, but not the scene that Newtype perception in this world makes you see, it is the framework program that should have been deleted is working, and as I said before, you are connected to the mother of this world. ”

The man turned sideways, and the woman in the blue dress, who had been standing behind him, stepped forward, gently put her hand on Guo Zhouyi's head and rubbed it, then stepped back and looked at him quietly.

"Your true father and mother were among the founders of this world. The only way to get your brain to believe, or how to get your mind or soul to believe, to see a world, is to collect the reaction of one's mind when it reacts to the outside world, and then program that reaction to be fired in reverse. Your father and mother were among the many who contributed to this, but that changed when their mission came to an end and was about to be deleted. ”

"My... Father... Mother, Daddy... Mom, you said to delete?! ”

"For them who were connected to the soul network in the name of the combat network without their own knowledge, under the cognitive definition of the plan executor at that time, they were indeed just programs, and outdated programs, programs that have been used up, will face deletion, think about the programs in the personal computers of the old era that you know, and you will understand. But ah, at that time, after all, it wasn't a person who was deleting an outdated game on a computer from the old days, so something happened, some programs ran away, they refused to accept the fate of being deleted, they rebelled, and your father and mother were one of them. It took a long time to annihilate them all, but just like that, the fragments of them flowed down, and in the occult of the old times, it was faith, attachment, or obsession, one of the three. ”

"Your mother's last obsession is to see you, and the gray world is the last thing she sees, but yo, she doesn't know what you look like now, so, look."

Guo Zhouyi followed the fingers of the woman in the blue dress who had just stopped, and the hand of the woman standing on the other side of the gray barrier began to draw the image of a little boy with countless lines.

It turns out that the flat posture is the action of lifting the little boy high...

"The moment your hands touch you, you will be infected, and you will inevitably be assimilated by the virus, and it will be an irreversible disaster."

"My mother ... It's not a virus ... ”

"For the current world, it is a virus, along with their strongest residual beliefs, there is also their strongest emotion, which is love, but also hate," the woman in the blue dress took Guo Zhouyi's trembling hand until Guo Zhouyi calmed down, "You see, when anger comes into contact with gentleness, it will melt and leave you calm, so have you ever thought about what will happen when gentleness melts?" ”

Guo Zhouyi raised his head violently.

"Yes, as far as your mother is concerned, if you are allowed to come into contact with her now, the desire that was as pure as the purest white snow will be melted away by your gentleness, and if you enter the winter world where your mother has lived for a long time, you will melt away the cold and attachment that support that world, and after that, the last remnant of your mother will be swallowed up by other emotions in her body, you know, what are they?"

"That kind of world!!! That kind of thing!!! How do you know if you don't do it!! Speaking of which, who are you!! What the hell is going on in this world!! So much has been said to me, but ... But ah... But... ”

"But that's my mother!!"

Syllable!!!

Guo Zhouyi sat on the ground with his painful face covered, and looked at the woman in the blue dress who had just slapped him.

"What is a mother's greatest expectation for her child? What is the biggest unfilial piety of children to their parents? I'm also a mother, and I can understand her, so ... So... You know it too," the woman in the blue dress squatted down and touched Guo Zhouyi's face with her beating, "You also know, that sea of flowers, that ocean, think about it now." ”

That sea of flowers...

The ocean ... That ocean, that drop of water contains an ocean of grievances, the resentment and resentment that the cold water pours into the lungs and deprives even the right to breathe...

"You... What should I do? ”

The woman in the blue dress stood up straight, took a few steps back, and felt as if something wet had been splashed on her face, Guo Zhouyi looked down---

The earth was gone, replaced by a surface of water, and beneath the somewhat dim blue waters, endless fields of flowers swaying.
