Chapter 50: The Matrix Strikes (Part II)
(6000 words big chapter, this is a late-night benefit?) οΌ
ββββββ
After reading the introduction and cover, Song Jieli only felt itchy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He couldn't wait to start enjoying this "delicious meal" cooked by the Traveler's teacher.
"I'll go, and there are nearly 100,000 words?" Song Jieli instinctively glanced at the number of words on the top, and couldn't help but be surprised.
According to the Basic Law, a new book will generally only upload a few thousand words, two or three chapters, and 100,000 words is absolutely extremely rare.
But then there was irrepressible excitement.
One breath is 100,000 words thrown up, this is definitely a surprise sent by the traveler teacher to everyone!
There is simply no more conscientious author than this, wow!
The status of a traveler, which was originally very high in Song Jieli's heart, was suddenly raised to an unattainable height.
After sending the screenshot to everyone in the chat group, he clicked on the first chapter with excitement, then took a deep breath and began to dive in to read it.
Sure enough, it didn't surprise him...... The background of the story is still chosen on the planet called Earth.
New readers may need to take a good look at the previous background introduction, but for Song Jieli, who has read Harry Potter three or four times, he can read it directly and fluently without being affected.
"In the dimly lit corridor, four serious-looking policemen held their breath and slowly gathered around the door of a room with their pistols."
"The flashlight hit the center of the door, and the word '303' was reflected......"
As the text describes the environment, the gloomy and tense atmosphere unconsciously affects Song Jieli, who is sitting in front of the projection, and he swallows his saliva and concentrates even more.
The policemen nodded to each other, and one of them kicked the door open, and everyone rushed in, occupying the small room.
The moment they entered, they immediately pointed their guns at a ...... in black tights in the room Woman?
Well?
Song Jieli was slightly stunned, such a big formation. He thought he was going to arrest some dangerous person, but he didn't expect it to be just a person and a woman.
The woman has short shoulder-length hair and a beautiful face. There is a hint of sassy heroism between the eyebrows.
She was sitting in front of a chair, facing a laptop, without any weapon in her hand. Hearing the voice of the policeman and seeing the light of the flashlight hitting the wall in front of her, there was no panic on the woman's face. He just stood up slowly, and then raised his hands on the back of his head as warned by the police, showing his willingness to raise his hands in surrender.
"This woman should have been caughtβunless she pulls out her wand and casts her magic now." Song Jie thought about it, couldn't help laughing, and said to himself: "But of course this is impossible, at the end of Harry Potter, the traveler teacher has already explained it himself, although the future story will choose the background of the earth, but magic is absolutely impossible to appear, it is a unique product of the Harry Potter novel." And the Earth is just an ordinary planet without any strange powers. β
At this moment, the picture suddenly changed. Police cars were everywhere downstairs, and a man who looked like a chief stood in front of a car, holding a communicator and waiting for the news from above.
At this moment, three men in black wearing sunglasses suddenly arrived in a car, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader of the three, walked up to him and questioned him, but the officer just smiled disdainfully, saying that against a defenseless little girl, he sent more than enough people to bring the other party down immediately.
The leader of the men in black turned around and told the officer in a somewhat strange tone - no. Your people are dead.
Who are these people? What is the relationship with that woman?
Song Jieli had doubts in his heart and continued to look down.
Sure enough, as the man in black in sunglasses had said, the woman in the black tights seized the opportunity of one of the policemen to come up and handcuff her, and struck back in an unexpected way - with incredible strength, speed, and reflexes. He knocked all four policemen to the ground!
"This ......"
Song Jieli was stunned.
Kick a 150-pound policeman several meters away?
Kicking a flying chair to accurately smash a person's pistol?
Dodging bullets through reflex nerves?
This woman's performance is already equivalent to that of Ming Chaoxing, an ordinary person who exercises regularly, and at least 30 points of combat power. This is naturally nothing in Ming Chaoxing, but it is quite scary in the background of this earth created by the Traveler Teacher.
Should be...... Talented?
Well, there are some such people in every world.
Thinking of the geniuses of the academy who were of the same age but whose strength far surpassed him, Song Jieli reluctantly nodded. Read on.
After disposing of the four cops, the woman receives a call from a man named Morpheus, who tells her two "exits" and says a word that makes Song Jieli a little concerned - agent.
When the woman heard this word, her complexion suddenly changed, and she became extremely ugly, and even revealed a trace of fear.
This also made Song Jieli even more curious.
Just now faced with four policemen with guns who dared to resist and succeeded, he was actually afraid of that agent?
He guessed that the agent was only afraid of the three men in black in sunglasses, and as for why this woman was afraid of the agent, he should be able to know the reason if he continued to watch.
Song Jieli made a note of this detail.
Whether you are reading a novel or a movie, you pay attention to observing details, because every detail that is easy to be overlooked may be the key point that the author leads to a certain plot later.
In addition, through this phone call, the woman's name was also revealed, Trinity.
Trinity ran out of the room immediately after hanging up the phone, but happened to meet an agent with a group of police officers coming up on the elevator, and the two sides immediately launched a tense chase.
Trinity was besieged by three agents and had to run to the rooftop, where the leader of the agents followed with the police.
Running and running, a gap between houses with a distance of more than eight meters suddenly appeared in front of Trinity, and below was a vertical drop of tens of meters high, and people who fell from here would definitely die.
"What will she do?" Song Jieli was full of nervousness.
The next moment, in his surprised eyes...... Trinity ran to the edge without changing color, then leaped to her feet. This distance, which even the Earth Long Jump champion was amazed, was easily crossed by her!
And that's not all, the agent who followed closely behind didn't hesitate to jump up, easily jumping across that distance and jumping onto the opposite roof!
Later, the police, who had barely kept up before, had to stop. One of them said with a look of disbelief on his face: "This can't be ......"
And this sentence is also Song Jieli's mood at this moment.
Is this simply impossible!
But this episode is not over yet, so he has to suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to watch.
After that, go through an even more incredible jump. Trinity escapes the agents and police for the time being, and finds herself on the empty and silent street.
And her goal ...... It's a phone booth standing alone not far away.
Telephone booth?
Song Jieli looked a little inexplicable.
Just as Trinity was about to run over, the agent suddenly drove up in a truck, the front of which was aimed at the phone booth.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the phone rang at this moment, and the ringtone was very urgent, waiting for someone to answer.
Trinity's pupils shrank, and instead of running away, she desperately sprinted in the direction of the phone booth, and the truck was speeding up at the same time. Eventually, just before the truck hit the booth, Trinity rushed into the booth and picked it up and put it to her ear.
There is also a delicate picture of a woman in a black tights holding a phone with her eyes slightly widened, her palms stretched out, palms against the protective glass of the phone booth, and her pretty face pale from the truck's headlights.
"I'll go, won't she die? How important is this call? Song Jieli was completely dumbfounded, and couldn't figure out why this woman named Trinity had such a strange action. I also don't understand why the agent in that truck didn't chase Trinity herself, but wanted to crash that phone booth, which is ...... It doesn't make sense, does it?
Could it be that the traveler teacher made a mistake?
Song Jieli couldn't control this thought, but the next moment he shook his head.
Someone who writes a work as rigorous as Harry Potter. How could it be possible to make such a big mistake that even a child could not make?
Therefore, since it is written like this, it is natural that there is a traveler teacher for her own reasons, and as a loyal reader, you must believe her!
Thinking of this, Song Jieli looked down patiently.
Not surprisingly, the truck smashed the phone booth to pieces. The three agents stepped out of the car, looking at what had once been a phone booth and was now a pile of rubble.
And among the ruins...... But it was the loss of Trinity's shadow.
She's gone.
There were no bodies, not even blood, as if the man had suddenly vanished into thin air a second before the truck hit him.
"What's going on?" Song Jieli was stunned, "Did she use shapeshifting?" β
The three agents were not surprised.
"Let her run away." One of them said lightly.
The leader said with a blank face, "It's okay. β
Another answered: "The informant is reliable. β
"Yes." "We know who they're going to target next." β
The agent who spoke first said, "Neo." His name is Neo. β
"A search needs to be launched as soon as possible."
"It's already being checked."
This is the end of the conversation, and then the camera pans to Neo.
"It's finally time for the protagonist to appear." Song Jieli breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again: "But the one ahead is a little weird...... And even what about the inexplicable plot and chase? Harry Potter's plot arrangement has always been reasonable and not abrupt, but the beginning of the book seems very abrupt, and some things are vague and unexplained......"
It's normal to create suspense in a novel, but a headless beginning like this...... Generally doomed.
Done on purpose?
Or is it the traveler teacher that she really has exhausted Jiang Lang?
No, it should be the first.
Song Jieli cheered up, as if to find evidence that the traveler was not wrong.
Neo finds himself hacked into his computer, and the intruder mentions a word, the Matrix.
The Matrix enslaves you.
The intruder said.
Neo couldn't help but look at his screen in surprise, he was a highly skilled hacker, he had always hacked into other people's computers, and it was the first time he was hacked, and the other party said his name in the online world - Neo.
Because too shocked and confused. Neo couldn't help but follow the instructions of the unknown intruder and followed the "little white rabbit" to the bar.
And here, he meets Trinity.
The plot is connected?
Song Jieli was in good spirits.
Trinity speaks to Neo, revealing her knowledge of Neo's personal information. Among them, the "matrix" is emphatically mentioned.
Neo, who was full of doubts, naturally immediately asked her what a matrix was. And Trinity just said, "The answer is right in front of you." He tells Neo that the Matrix is looking for him, and leaves.
The next day, Neo went to the company, but received an unfamiliar package.
He opened the package. Inside was a mobile phone, and a call came at the right time.
Neo answered it hesitantly, and the person on the other end of the line was Morpheus.
Following Morpheus's instructions, he dodged the Men in Black agents who came to him, but eventually chose to be arrested by the agents out of timidity.
In the interrogation room, Neo, who insisted on making a phone call, experienced a very bizarre and strange thing - his mouth was actually sealed!
It's not with any foreign objects, but the mouth is born as if it was sealed, which is extremely weird, and Neo was immediately stunned. With a ghost-like expression, he stepped back sharply and leaned against the corner of the room in horror.
There is a picture of this place, Neo's mouth becomes a whole, his face is full of panic and disbelief, and the leader of the man in black in front of him in front of him just looks at him with a strange smile, like looking at a lamb to the slaughter.
The agents grabbed Neo and implanted a mechanical worm through his navel, when Neo woke up to find himself in his own home, believing that the strange things that had happened in the interrogation room were just his dreams. After all, what happened there was too bizarre and supernatural.
At this time, Morpheus's phone call came again.
Following the instructions on the phone, Neo, who wanted to find out the truth, came to a bridge and had a formal meeting with Morpheus's people.
Trinity pulls out a large instrument. A mechanical bug was removed from his navel, startling Neo...... It also made him understand that what happened in the interrogation room was not a dream at all.
When Song Jieli saw this, he only felt that the plot was becoming more and more tense and confusing, and it was strange everywhere.
The more he looked at it, the more doubts in his heart were not solved. Instead, it gets deeper.
To be honest, seeing this, Song Jieli found that there were loopholes everywhere and suspicious points everywhere.
Since it's an ordinary world, why is Trinity with superhuman performance? Now there is even a black technology that far surpasses the earth, such as mechanical bugs, and the scene where the mouth is sealed is even more outrageous.
Although the plot is very compact and fascinating, and the text is also very pure and ancient, it ...... But Jay Song always felt that something was missing compared to Harry Potter.
Yes, it's that sense of shock, that kind of novel setting, and those beloved characters in the book.
On this Matrix, the setting of the characters is still very distinct, but Song Jieli does not have the excitement of discovering a treasure when he first watched Harry Potter.
Are travelers really regressing?
This question spread in Song Jieli's heart for the first time, and his mood was also affected, and he became a little lost.
No, there is still a little bit left to finish the article, maybe there will be a new turn in the future?
But it is a turning point to be able to fill all the previous loopholes...... It's a bit of a hanging.
At least in Song Jieli's opinion, those loopholes are too big, and he can't think of a way to fill them all.
Unless this is the time when the Traveler Teacher pulls out the magic in Harry Potter, but that won't be a slap in the face......
Shaking his head and sighing, although he was a little disappointed, Song Jieli was still ready to read the last point before talking.
The plot design and pacing of this Matrix are still very good, if it weren't for the more excellent Harry Potter in front, Song Jieli would definitely praise this Matrix, but now......
The plot continues to develop, and Neo is taken to a place where he finally meets the man he has always wanted to meet - Morpheus.
A burly black man in a black trench coat and sunglasses.
Morpheus when he meets Neo. With a smile, he said, "Finally we met." β
Trinity, who led the way, left, and the two immediately sat down in the house.
After a somewhat cryptic conversation, Morpheus's words made Neo seem to understand something. It seems to produce more incomprehensible places. Just as Neo asked the question again - what was the matrix, Morpheus did not answer, but took out two pills, one red and one blue, and placed them in front of Neo's eyes.
"I can't put into words the matrix. You can only see it for yourself. Morpheus said solemnly, spreading his left hand, "Eat the blue pill, everything you have experienced so far is just a dream, and you continue with your previous life." β
Then he spread out his right hand holding the red pill, "Eat the red pill, you stay, and I will show you the truth of this world...... Note that this is your last chance once you make a choice. There is no turning back. β
Neo hesitated slightly, and finally chose the red pill to swallow.
He wanted to know the truth.
Seeing this, Morpheus showed a relieved expression, got up and led Neo to another room. This room is filled with all kinds of strange equipment, and there are quite a few people. Among them were Trinity and a few other people who picked him up, as well as strange faces that Neo had never seen before.
Morpheus asked Neo to sit down on a chair in the center of the room, with a mirror next to it.
Then...... The weirdest thing happened.
The mirror next to it suddenly became like the surface of the water. Neo touched it curiously, and the silver, mercury-like thing "infected" his hand from the mirror like a virus.
Song Jieli almost held his breath.
He had a hunch...... There's something really amazing. It's about to be revealed.
He couldn't wait to look down.
As the silvery-white "mercury" spread from the palm of his hand, wrapping around Neo's arms, chest, and finally the whole person...... His mind and mind suddenly came to a halt for a moment.
In this moment, Neo heard a voice that was familiar to him. Electronic sound.
I don't know how long it took, but when Neo opened his eyes again, he was stunned to find himself lying in a culture tank full of nutrient solution!
His limbs were weak, he had no hair all over his body, and his eyes felt severe pain even when they opened them.
It's like a ...... Newborns in general.
And most importantly...... Neo was horrified to find that there were wires all over his body and at the back of his head and neck, which were tightly connected to his body!
As if he wasn't alone. It's a plugged-in machine that works.
Accompanied by a picture here, Neo, covered in wires, sat up from the cultivation tank, staring blankly at the metal and dead silence as if the whole world was awake.
"It's-?!"
Seeing this, Song Jieli's eyes widened and he subconsciously stood up.
How is that?!
His heart was pounding with excitement, and he forced him to sit down calmly and continue reading.
The depression on his face was swept away, full of excitement and excitement.
This turn of events is really amazing, worthy of a traveler teacher!!
Neo looked around in a daze, and found that except for himself, there were rows of identical cultivation tanks in all directions, and there was a person lying in each cultivation tank.
Seeing this, Neo faintly guessed some terrifying facts in his heart.
This place...... Could it be the real world he lives in?
Later, Neo is rescued by Morpheus's spaceship, and Morpheus tells him the truth about the world after Neo wakes up again, and at the same time tells readers the worldview of the book.
It turned out that at the beginning of the 21st century, humans invented artificial intelligence, but it didn't take long for a war broke out between the two sides.
Human beings think that if the sun is blocked, artificial intelligence will not be able to replenish energy, but they don't know that artificial intelligence has obtained inexhaustible energy through fusion!
It is ironic that humanity lost the war and was enslaved by the artificial intelligence they created with their own hands.
And the new human beings are no longer born and raised, but in the power plant of artificial intelligence machines...... It's like farming, planting it!
Under the control of artificial intelligence, planted humans are connected to the false world created by artificial intelligence through wires on their bodies and plugs behind their heads, where they live, grow, marry, and die.
Almost all of them to the moment of death...... I didn't know that the place where I had lived all my life was just a fake, completely computer-based world. And his real-world body, in fact, has never really been used even once.
At this point, the world background and worldview of the Matrix have finally been revealed. (To be continued.) )
