"Help?" Davy's brow furrowed.

However, Elise's eyes darkened as soon as she finished speaking, "But this is only my most ideal idea, after all, she is my 'sister', but with us who don't have the slightest clue now, even if that possibility really exists, there is no way but to go and see it first." ”

The corridor is long and straight, but every distance is a nearly ninety-degree turn, like a zigzag route up a mountain.

The group didn't know how long they had traveled, and they didn't encounter the slightest danger along the way, but the strange feeling in their hearts lingered, as if something existed, and they had been peeking at them in the dark.

Just when David thought there was no end to the road, they had just turned another corner when an intricate circular gate appeared in front of them.

Seeing the dusty metal door, Elise's expression was visibly moving, and Davy saw that she had not said anything, so he raised his hand and tried to push it away.

The ruins' gates apparently had emergency mechanisms in place, and the mechanical components were locked until a specific method or clearance was used to open the metal gates, which were likely to weigh several tons.

But this is not reality after all, but an information world reconstructed by Alice's memory information, so with the boiling of information that makes up David's body, his hand caress over the bare complex mechanism, and smoke immediately rises from the place where he passes.

The original metal components were immediately corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large amount of corrosive liquid continued to seep out of David's palm and slipped through the cracks of his fingers.

That's right, in the world of data, information is king.

Even if it is something that is difficult to open in the first place, it can be forcibly intervened through information hedging.

Seeing that David's efficiency alone was too slow, Elise on the side and Lily, who had already been gearing up, also joined the army of the demolition and relocation office, and the six hands slid down on the controls of the gate as if spiritually, corroding and dissolving the key controls everywhere.

In desperation, Lily simply pasted her face and used her head to erase and delete the 'data' represented by the mechanism on the door like an eraser.

David, who was concentrating on his work, inadvertently saw Lily pasting the wall with his face, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but for the sake of her being at least twice as efficient as him and Elise, he didn't correct her behavior and method.

Half an hour later in this information world, the components on the door were finally wiped clean, Davy put his hands on the door, his whole body exerted, and in the roar, the heavy door was slowly pushed open!

What appeared in front of the three of them was a large hall that seemed to have no bounds, and rows of boxy metal troughs lying horizontally were neatly placed in the hall, like coffins in a morgue.

Tens of thousands!

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, David was not alone in thinking of the morgue.

"Wow, that's a lot of coffins!"

Lily got straight behind David's ass, and it was like she was going to stuff her head into David's asshole...

But David didn't have the energy to pay attention to his artificial retardation at the moment, because he noticed that Elise looked a little strange.

As if remembering something, she strode forward with some trepidation, and David dragged Lily, who had no prospects, to follow quickly.

IRIS FINALLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE METAL SLOTS, AND DUE TO THE WORLD OF DATA, DAVID FOUND HIMSELF EASILY GETTING DATA ABOUT IT WITH A GLANCE, MEASURING 220X122X62/CM.

There was a thick layer of dust on the lid of the slot, and the dust had solidified and hardened, and only the patterns on it could be faintly seen, and there was a row of symbols that were by no means human.

But David knew what it meant the first time he saw it, number: 005X30X02 (X is blurry and illegible), and a name was also engraved under it in a script that David had never seen before.

Seeing the name, David, who didn't know the language, still whispered: "Yi... Beautiful... Silk..."

"Elise ???" David jerked his head up at Elise.

Seeing that Elise also looked at the metal trough with a complicated gaze, she muttered, "Sure enough, it's here." ”

"Huh? What's the situation? Is this coffin yours Elise? ”

This sudden situation made Lily, who was still a little scared, temporarily forget her fear of those supernatural events, and looked at Elise with a confused face.

Seeing that Elise still didn't mean to communicate, David's gaze couldn't help but fall back to the slot cover, there seemed to be some other information underneath, and he reached out to brush off the dust on it, but... There was nothing under the dust, even pitch black.

So he realized that in the information world, he could only get the information that Lily had saved, and could not conduct in-depth exploration of the information outside the possession of the original recorder as in reality.

Under the gaze of David and Lily, Elise was silent for a moment, and then slowly pushed the lid of the slot open.

David stared closely at her movements, at the gap she slowly pushed open.

Inside... Nothing exists.

Elise breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to David, "Your Excellency David, can you help me push open the slot cover next door?" ”

David's expression tightened, his eyes moved to the right side of the slot, looking at the name column on it, although he had expected it, the pupils of his eyes were still shrinking.

See the name on it: "Alice! ”

David took a deep breath and pushed the lid open as it landed on the floor, making a dull sound that echoed throughout the hall.

However, just when he thought it was also a hollow slot, a short, blonde girl with her trademark watermelon-skinned bangs was revealed...

It was Alice, whom David once had a relationship with.

But she looked completely asleep, as if she were dead, and there was no intention of waking up at all.

"We... That's it? ”

David looked at Elise in disbelief, but found that the other party did not have the slightest joy to achieve his goal easily, but frowned, and couldn't help but ask with some concern, "What's wrong?" Isn't this Alice's essence? ”

"It's true, but like the worst, her body is split by some unknown condition," Elise pursed her lips.

"In other words—" Davy had a bad feeling in his heart.

"In other words, even if we 'kill' her now, it will not help the current situation, but will allow the remaining 'her' to get more complete autonomy."

Elise spoke of the worst possible in David's mind.

"So what else can we do?" David asked.

"Take her first, then follow her memory, find the rest of her or them, and kill them together!" Elise gritted her teeth.

"This can't be done, right? And follow her memory? What do you mean... In other words, here it is..."

David's eyes widened instantly, and he said in his heart that all of you guys have thousands of years of resumes, and when you finish browsing Alice's long memory, even if the ratio of information time to real time is huge, I'm afraid that the outside body will also be gray because of the continuous expansion of the retraction furnace...

"That's right, this is where the Speaker found me, Alice, and the other seven AIs, and our... The place of origin. It's naturally impossible to bring you, your mind is human after all, and it can't withstand the retrieval speed of our artificial intelligence, but I can vaguely sense the location of 'them' at a certain distance, so we split into two ways, you and Lily directly took this 'Alice' directly to that point in time thirteen years ago, where there must be an Alice there, and... is the most critical one! ”

And just as Elise finished saying this, the entire hall suddenly trembled violently, and even a piece of information space seemed to become unstable.

"Giggles... Giggles..."

With a silver bell-like laughter came.

The three Davids looked vigilantly, and saw that the lid of a metal trough was pushed open, and then another 'Alice' crawled out of it...

And this... This is just the beginning.

The oozing laughter began to come from all directions, and then all the slots in the hall were pushed open one by one, and thousands of 'Alice' laughed and crawled out of those 'coffins' one after another.

Even... Gradually, countless 'Alices' slowly walked out of the shadows in the depths of the hall, and slowly, many 'Alices' 'grew' from the walls on all sides, from the floor, and from the ceiling.

They, without exception, with the same smiles, poured towards David like a tidal wave...

David, who has always had a phobia of intensity, couldn't help but feel numb when he saw this scene, and Lily was even more frightened.

Only Elise, who has always maintained a gentle and elegant ladylike appearance, rarely burst into a foul language:

"! These are not Alice, I should have guessed a long time ago, these two goods are virus! ”
