It was already early in the morning when Tang Shao returned to his bed in the third-class room in the third-class warehouse. Tang Shao, who hadn't slept all night, took off his black stone pendant and wanted to plunge into the quilt to sleep with him until the sky was dark.

But at the moment when the black jade plate left Tang Shao's palm, he felt a swelling pain in his head. Tang Shao only instinctively clenched the black jade plate that was about to be taken off again, and the pain disappeared instantly.

Because the pain disappeared too abruptly, Tang Shao even felt that the pain just now might be an illusion, after all, he hadn't closed his eyes for almost 24 hours. So he tried to put the blackstone pendant down again, but the swelling pain hit again. This time, Tang Shao had already prepared, so he didn't panic, but deliberately didn't take back the black stone pendant immediately, wanting to experience what kind of pain it was.

This time, Tang Shao lasted no more than three seconds. The feeling of swelling that started from the inside of the skull made Tang Shao feel that his five senses and seven orifices were blocked, as if his brain was breaking free from the shackles of his skull and wanted to break out of the shell.

When Tang Shao grabbed his blackstone pendant back again, he had completely lost his strength. Coupled with the fact that he hadn't slept for a long time, the exhausted Tang Shao fell asleep soundly as soon as he plunged into the bed.

It wasn't until two hours later that Tang Shao was poured a glass of ice water on his head by Wang Daozhen, who broke into the door, that he still fell asleep in a position with his face stuffed in the pillow, and his nose seemed to be a little shorter.

"What the are you doing?" Tang Shao, who hasn't gotten up angry for a long time, is so grumpy today for some reason.

"Stinky boy, I thought you were dead." Wang Daozhen was a little overjoyed and smiled.

Wang Daozhen's shiny bald head first caught Tang Shao's eyes, followed by Tang Rou and Ouyang Beiyan, who were already neatly dressed. Tang Shao touched his head, which was still in severe pain, and forgot where he was for a while.

"Why do you all wake up so early! Why are they all in my room? Tang Shao yawned and closed his eyes again.

"You're still conscious, if it weren't for us, your kid would probably have slept to death."

"Huh." Tang Shao squeezed out a smile, turned over and was about to sleep with his head covered, but was pulled by Wang Daozhen.

"Don't sleep, Mr. Ruan has something to do with you." Every time Mr. Ruan is mentioned, Wang Daozhen always has a solemn face, and this time is of course no exception, and it seems a little more solemn than before.

"What are you looking for me?" Tang Shao had just been pressed down, and his anger rose again. He remembered that he had fallen asleep in the early hours of the morning, and it was estimated that it was still early in the morning. Since graduating, Tang Shao has rarely stayed up late, not because he doesn't want to, but because his body has begun to be unbearable.

"What the hell is your kid, Mr. Ruan is looking for you, and you dare to ask the reason."

"Let's get up, since Mr. Ruan asked Master Wang to come, there must be something important." While speaking, Tang Rou walked to Tang Shao's bed, and that bright smile was more effective than any stimulant.

As soon as he saw Tang Rou's smiling face, Tang Shao immediately felt refreshed, as if he had just had a long and sweet sleep.

The place where Wang Daozhen took Tang Shao was the main control room of the cruise ship. Tang Shao had already come here last night, but when he returned here again during the day, Tang Shao still asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"There are so many questions, Mr. Ruan should be inside, you go and ask him." After speaking, Wang Daozhen turned around and left without the slightest hesitation, as if he didn't want to stay here for a second.

Tang Shao pushed open the somewhat dark door, and it was still the small friction sound, and a smell of burning something first floated out along the crack in the door. Inside the door, two people were looking at Tang Shao who walked in, one was Mr. Ruan, and the other was a young man from Southeast Asia that Tang Shao had just met a few hours ago.

Regarding Tang Shao's appearance, the young people's reaction was a little unfriendly. He was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face vanished.

"How did he end up here?" The young man asked Mr. Ruan in a questioning tone, and he didn't know whether it was out of disgust for Tang Shao or malice towards Mr. Ruan.

"Because we really need him, and I promise it's the last time." The woman smiled disapprovingly, looking like the young man was angry about something insignificant.

"Hey, I don't have a grudge against you, why can't I come?" Although Tang Shao has been a billionaire for a day and a night unconsciously, he has never hoped to have a beautiful way to appear, but it will not be disgusting as soon as he appears, and it is still so naked. The little temper of being a billionaire flares up again.

The young man was speechless for a while when Tang Shao retorted, and then sighed helplessly with an anxious expression on his face: "Alas! Please Mr. Ruan must not break his promise, the last time will be the last time. The young man sat down in his chair and looked like no one wanted to pay attention.

The woman smiled silently.

"Hey! What's the matter with calling me this time? Tang Shao also lost his good temper and looked ruffian.

Ruffianism is not the essence of Tang Shao, but Tang Shao's lack of self-confidence or instinctive reaction when he feels ignored. self

From the moment he boarded this ship, Tang Shao had a feeling of falling into a pile of strongmen, not to mention others, even Wang Laodao, who was regarded as a liar by him on weekdays, had sublimated Master Wang, and if he wanted to maintain a little self-esteem in this pile of strongmen, he could only use a ruffian spirit that didn't care about anything to cover up his lack of confidence.

He reclined into another chair like a young man.

"You were called because we have something in common, in some ways." Women always give people a sense of wisdom, so they always like to speak in the clouds.

"In what ways?" The woman's words aroused Tang Shao's interest. As for what they had in common, Tang Shao could vaguely feel it, and he also knew that the young man had a black stone pendant, and he could probably estimate that the woman also had one. But what exactly was that black stone, and what was so special about it, Tang Shao was still full of curiosity.

"Hehe, ask knowingly." The woman smiled, her tone was very easy-going, like an elder talking to a naughty junior, and naturally she also skillfully avoided Tang Shao's question.

"Then what did you call me for?"

"Someone did something to the ship yesterday, and the captain and crew disappeared."

"Aren't we going to drift around, then? This should be considered a terrorist attack, and you should call the police! Tang Shao faintly felt a sense of crisis.

"If only we could drift freely, at least we're free. The current situation is that the ship's operating system has been manipulated, and the ship is completely controlled. ”

"Controlled by whom?"

"I don't know."

When this woman says she doesn't know, she always has a look of "Actually, I know, I just don't want to tell you". Helplessly, whether the woman laughs or not, there is always an inviolable majesty. Tang Shao only wanted to be silent, but the woman changed her expression of "You continue to ask" again, and looked at Tang Shao with straight eyes.

"So we, no, what can I do?"

"The current situation is that the operating system of the cruise ship has been completely controlled by an external signal, and the cruise ship has changed course and is getting farther and farther away from our destination this time. You're here to use your magic to help us get the ship's systems back to normal. Tang Shao seemed to have asked the right question, and the woman had more words.

"Something is wrong with the system? Shouldn't you download 360 or Kingsoft? This is the whole strategy of the otaku Tang Shao to deal with the problem of network security, in his own words, "I have tried my best." ”

"You don't seem to have noticed the seriousness of this. If this cruise ship can't arrive at its destination on the scheduled date, we won't be able to find Ren Jiuyan's nest, and we won't be able to find Professor Ouyang, and then there will be a lot more monsters like her in the world......" Mr. Ruan looked at Tang Rou with a smile, obviously the monster in her words was referring to Tang Rou. Tang Rou naturally wouldn't refute, but Tang Shao couldn't bear it anymore, and he almost shouted: "She's not a monster!" ”

However, the woman didn't care, but sighed softly and said, "She may not be, but it's hard to say whether it will be in the future." I still know a little about Ren Jiuyan, she is young and ambitious, but what impresses me the most is her viciousness. ”

"My uncle won't work with that crazy woman!" It was Ouyang Beiyan who was angry this time.

"Hehe, what kind of person your uncle is, I should know better than you. He is a scientific madman, and as long as he is tempted by scientific reasons, he has no principle that he cannot give up. Thinking about the monsters that appeared in the Qian family, weren't they from Ouyang Dong's handiwork? The woman sneered and stared at Ouyang Beiyan. Ouyang Beiyan's lips moved lightly a few times, and finally he had nothing to say, and finally could only snort unwillingly.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then the woman spoke, "Don't forget what we're here for, let's get to work." ”

Tang Shao lay softly in the chair and felt that the woman was humiliating him by calling him. First, as soon as he entered the door, he was disliked by everyone, and now there is such a problem that he can't even understand. He lazily raised his right hand, pointed at Tang Rou and said, "I only use the computer to play games, let's find her for the rest, she is an expert in this area." ”

"Neither can your little AI girlfriend. If I'm right, she doesn't have a hard interface, right? Moreover, the cruise ship's system has just closed itself, and there is no interactive interface, and all the interactive interfaces are also invalid. The woman gently placed her fingers on the smoking workbench and retracted it as if electrocuted.

"Then, according to you, shouldn't everyone go back to their respective rooms to sleep?"

"That's why I asked you to come."

"What can I do? I also don't have a habit of carrying antivirus software with me. ”

"I'll teach you how to do it." The woman's eyes were blazing and she looked at Tang Shao with contempt: "Now I only need you to agree to help." ”

"Hmm......" Tang Shao looked at Ouyang Beiyan and then at Tang Rou, and couldn't see anything at all, so he said, "I agreed." Isn't it just for me to be a tool man? ”

Here we go. As the woman spoke, her eyes were already on the young man who had closed his eyes and was resting.

When the woman's eyes fell on the young man, the young man also opened his eyes. He stretched, then seemed reluctant to get up and walk to the console in the main control room.

Tang Shao then also stood in front of the console, and then a heavy smell of burning circuit boards pierced Tang Shao's nasal cavity.

"It's not a virus, it's all burned like this bear."

"The burned part is just the display and the excuse part, and these people are professional."

"Okay, then what?"

"Close your eyes and concentrate." The woman suddenly became serious, the smile on her face was gone, and her voice sounded in Tang Shao's ears and in his head, making Tang Shao feel like he had suddenly fallen into a dream.

"Don't resist, feel in the direction of the flow of energy."

"Good!" Tang Shao only responded as soon as he responded, and it was like a dream in an instant, his body and brain became light, and he felt like he was losing control.

The woman's voice was very gentle, and the more she listened to it, the more it looked like Tang Rou's voice, so Tang Shao's tense nerves slowly relaxed, feeling the energy slowly drifting from his chest.

Energy slowly grew from Tang Shao's chest, like a stiff thick rope.

Suddenly, Tang Shao felt other energies floating from both sides of him. The energy on his left hand danced like a few strands of soft string, slowly approaching him. That energy is young people's, but it seems to belong to oneself without the slightest disobedience.

And the energy on the right hand side was coiled and swirling like a filament, as thin as smoke. They are also approaching their own icicle-like cones of energy. That energy naturally belongs to Mr. Nguyen, but it is also as kind as it comes out.

"It's really surprising that only this level is there!" Feeling Tang Shao's thick and stupid energy, the young man couldn't help but laugh in his mind.

"You're no better." With Mr. Ruan's energy there, Tang Shao mocked the young man and was not weak at all.

"Shut up and concentrate." Mr. Ruan's shouting strangled the quarrel between the two in the cradle.

There was total silence in the room.

Tang Shao felt that the three beams of energy were finally mixed together, as if they were originally a mass of energy, mixed flawlessly.

What Tang Shao didn't know was that the consciousness of the three of them was also slowly merging, it was a feeling of gradually falling asleep, but unlike falling asleep, Tang Shao felt that his mind was exceptionally clear, even more transparent than his usual five senses. The sound of walking on the boat can be heard clearly, the waves outside the boat, and the fish and shrimp swimming under the waves. Even the sound of the sea breeze grinding against the deck is still ringing in my ears. Hearing a small part of it was really magical, through those voices, Tang Shao's mind had easily constructed the tall, short, fat and thin walking people, the churning posture of the waves, and the movement and stillness of the fish swimming in the sea...... There seems to be a voice, and it corresponds to a helicopter thousands of kilometers away!

However, this is only the clearest part of the picture.

After concentrating and digging deeper, Tang Shao actually saw Mr. Ruan and Professor Ouyang when he was young, and also saw another man. That strange man, Tang Shao unexpectedly felt very familiar, not only his appearance but also his breath. The curious Tang Shao wanted to know the name of that person, but his thinking was no longer controllable, and his brain seemed to be deliberately avoiding the parts related to this person, and he didn't have the slightest desire to know. Because he's only one-third of a brain now, and he's still in the hands of someone else. In this way, Tang Shao, who is obviously a third of the protagonists, has once again become a spectator, and the only thing that is better than ordinary spectators is that he can not only see it, but also feel it.

The energy that fused together changed again, and it first disintegrated into countless spots of light, which dispersed like mist into the console in front of him.

"Let the energy flow naturally and feel the blockage of the energy with your heart. The operation of electronic products is nothing more than the flow of energy, and anything added will be different from the original energy flow, and there will naturally be some disharmony when flowing. With our ability to restore the blockage to normal, the system will naturally return to its previous state. This consciousness should originate from Mr. Ruan, and Tang Shao's body is naturally easy to accept as a third of the entire consciousness.

Tang Shao retracted his thoughts, concentrating on it, and sure enough, he could feel some disharmony in the many energy flows, and then they used their energy to open some channels there, and after closing some channels in other places, the energy continued to flow smoothly. There were probably hundreds of thousands of such blockages, and as they were patched up everywhere, Tang Shao felt that his consciousness was slowly disappearing. It was the feeling of ice melting in the water, not painful, but rather belonging.

Just when Tang Shao's consciousness disappeared, Tang Shao suddenly felt a trace of something strange, it was an energy that made people feel extremely uncomfortable, and it gave people a particularly strong sense of oppression.

He stared again, trying to regain his consciousness to find out where the strange thing came from, but he couldn't do anything about it, and with the last bit of his independent consciousness he saw a monster-like eye looking at him through a crack, the eye glowing ominously red, not too glaring but unusually hideous......
