Chapter 6: The Prophet

Li Qi and Neo walked in, a white corridor with many symmetrical doors on both sides, and Sajoff explained as he walked: "This is the programmer's secret pipe, commonly known as the back door. ”

A backdoor, in hackers, is a method of gaining access to a program or system, bypassing the control of a security actor. During the development phase of software, programmers often create backdoors within the software so that defects in the program can be modified. If a backdoor is known to others, or if it is not removed before the software is released, then it becomes a security risk.

The backdoor is also called the BackDoor - a computer has a total of 65536 ports from 0 to 65535, so if you think of the computer as a room, then these 65536 ports can be regarded as the 65536 doors opened by the computer to connect with the outside world.

In hackers, the backdoor is also a figurative metaphor, after using certain methods to successfully control the target host, it can implant specific programs in the other party's system, or modify certain settings. These changes are ostensibly difficult to detect, but the intruder can easily establish a connection to the computer using a program or method to regain control of the computer, as if the intruder had secretly assigned a key to the owner's room, allowing him to enter and exit at any time without being detected by the owner.

Sajif is equivalent to a hacker "intruder", and the key in his hand is equivalent to the program that opens the back door, and these back doors, at the beginning, were designed by the "designer" of the matrix, the Machine Emperor.

It's the old man who is about to appear later, and he looks very similar to the old man of KFC.

According to this interpretation, there should be a total of 65,536 doors at the back door of the matrix, that is, in the white corridor where Li Qi and the others are, and there is one person who owns all the keys to these doors, and he is the key person that Neo and the others are about to look for - the keysmith!

Both the Keysmith and Sejoff are special programs in the Matrix that keep the keys to the various back doors, and in order for Neo to enter the center of the Matrix, the Source of All Things, he must obtain the key to the back door from the Keysmith.

"How do you get into these back doors?" Neo asked Sejoff.

"The locking mechanism has a set of passwords, one that unlocks the door and the other that opens one of the doors."

"You're a programmer?"

"Nope." Sezhov paused, opened one of the doors with the key, and looked at them with a smile, "I'm in charge of protecting important people. ”

The door was opened, but outside it was a spacious courtyard that opened onto a building.

When Li Qi walked in, the sun was just right, and everything was quiet, just like Li Qi's leisure afternoon in any community in the Celestial Empire.

There were a lot of unknown birds on the ground looking for food, and not far away came the sound of children laughing and playing.

The Prophet was a mother-in-law in her fifties, and she looked no different from ordinary women, the kind that could not be found in the crowd, but her smile was full of magic and had a kind of heart-warming power.

At this time, she was feeding the crows on the bench, if Li Qi hadn't seen the movie, he would definitely not have thought that the image of the prophet was like this. The Prophet looked at the strange young man with a strange look in his eyes.

Li Qi was also looking at her, this was the first person Li Qi met who could know the past and the future, although he was in this virtual matrix world, Li Qi was also very interested in her.

"You're Mr. Li, right? Sit down", the two looked at each other for a moment, and then the prophet greeted, Li Qi bowed his head, and sat down on the sofa next to him.

It's just that after Li Qi sat down, the prophet didn't say a word, looking at her appearance, and even his attention was not on Li Qi's body, but staring at the group of crows carefully.

After waiting for several minutes, the two of them didn't say a word, and finally Li Qi couldn't help but open his mouth and asked, "Prophet, don't you have anything to say when you see me?" ”。

Yes, what does it mean that the Prophet did not say a word and left himself here?

With Li Qi's words, the prophet turned around and said to Li Qi, "So, what do you think I should say?" ”。

"Uh......", Li Qi froze slightly, he didn't expect the prophet to answer like this, yes, what did he come here for? Let the Prophet determine his future fate?

Please, she is not even a person from this plane, this is just a virtual matrix world, how can she conclude her own fate, since she is not here for her own fate, then why is she?

"I came here just to be curious, what fate is", after thinking about it, Li Qi asked.

Yes, this is also the purpose of Li Qi's coming here, the prophet can know the future? So this is fate? So what exactly is fate? Li Qi came here, maybe he didn't know what it was for, could it be considered an arrangement of fate?

Perhaps the so-called fate of the prophet is only applicable to this plane, and even to the virtual world of this matrix, but Li Qi still hopes that the prophet can answer for himself.

What is fate?

Hearing Li Qi's words, the prophet nodded, and immediately opened the handbag he was carrying, "Do you want a piece of candy?" I love sugar."

At this time, actually give yourself candy? Li Qi didn't understand the meaning of the prophet's move, but after thinking about it, he still took the candy from the prophet's hand.

The prophet looked at Li Qi at this time, his eyes were ancient, and he couldn't see his wisdom at all, but what he said was full of great truth: "Actually, the so-called fate can be said to be fate, but in fact, it can be said to be one's own choice."

Li Qi looked at the prophet seriously, without saying a word, the prophet also looked at Li Qi, his expression was flat, and said: "The so-called fate is destined and unchangeable, this is indeed not wrong, but ordinary people always say that my fate is up to me, in fact, this sentence is not wrong, the so-called fate is not set by others, in fact, it is your own choice, and I just know the choices of others in advance, so I can know the future."

"The so-called fate, is that what it is?" Speaking of which, Li Qi has a superficial understanding of the fate that the prophet said.

It's like the left and right roads at the fork, if you choose, if you choose the left, then someone at this fork in the road may tell you that your destiny is to take the left road, but you don't believe and choose the right, then your destiny will change at that moment, or it will not change, because that is your destiny. If you would have chosen the right side, in fact at the fork in the road, your destiny is to take the right path.

Fate is indeed unchangeable, but everything is actually your own choice.
