A program used to monitor and detect the movement of the virtual world - this is Nolan's true identity.

Hao Ren found a lot of information about the construction of the virtual world on the equipment in the cave, and there was a part about Nolan. If it weren't for the fact that he had a flash of inspiration to check these things, I'm afraid no one would know that Nolan's true body would be like this.

The Drums worked with their eldest son to build a vast virtual system that could mimic the real world almost 100 percent, consisting of two parts: the biological will part of the firstborn son and the AI part of the mechanical device. Among them, the biological will of the eldest son is the main body of the virtual world, and the whole system is actually built in the dream of this ancient creature, and the huge spiritual power of the eldest son can accommodate more than a billion human beings to survive in the same dream; The mechanical AI, on the other hand, is more like an accessory for maintaining the system, living in the massive number of machines connected to the eldest son, including the alloy cylinders that Hao Ren had seen before, and a large array of servers deeper in the shelter, which constantly monitor the operation of the virtual world, and are the sentinels and nannies left in the real world after the Drom people have fallen asleep.

As a monitoring system, mechanical AI is very complex, and Nolan is one of the interfaces of these monitoring programs.

However, she didn't know anything about her identity, as the earliest settings modified her perception of herself. She just lives in this virtual world, experiencing a qiē in the virtual world in a human way, and her qiē perception is converted into a human perspective by analog signals - it is in this way that the monitoring system determines whether the operation of the virtual world is still suitable for human survival, and this kind of life as a "probe" is also Nolan's mission.

Hao Ren didn't know what Nolan's final mission would be in the original plan. This part of the data has been damaged by a system error, and the "Return to Reality Project" of the Dolm people has long been in vain, and there is no point in pursuing the original trajectory of the virtual world. And let's be honest. Now is not the time to pursue these details.

Under the guidance of the number of terminals, Hao Ren quickly commanded the autonomic machines to pierce a large number of probes into the ganglia of the eldest son, strengthening the physical connection with the latter, and these connections allowed him to access the eldest son's dreams without using the hibernation pod. Then he sat down leaning against one of the tentacles of the eldest son, keeping his body as close to the other's nervous system as possible, and then he said to Lily and Vivien beside him, "Next, I'm going to talk to the eldest son directly, and you guys will take care of it by the side." ”

Lily jumped up and down, "Landlord, landlord." What if the cave collapses? ”

Hao Ren shrugged: "Of course, you can only run." ”

"I thought you were going to say something stupid like I'd rather die than retreat," Vivien smiled and leaned over to pat Hao Ren's shoulder, "Don't worry." Unless the cavern collapses, I won't let anything disturb you. ”

Hao Renbi made a triumphant gesture, rested his head on the nerve tentacles behind him, and silently recited in his heart: "Activate the link." ”

The tremors and strange noises in the cavern receded like a tidal wave. Darkness came from all directions. Immediately afterward, a strange burning and dull sensation rushed over the surroundings as if it were about to bury itself. Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw himself standing in a dim world.

This is a strange and bleak world, where the monotonous and dead colors of black, white and gray form a qiē between heaven and earth. In the vast wilderness, you can still see the remains of buildings that look like urban ruins, these things that were once tall buildings are now only bare frames and cement slag, they are like 3D models that lack detail and rendering, the structure is simple and the surface is rough, and the appearance of haphazard piles on the ground embodies the dreamlike grotesqueness everywhere. There are no sun, moon or stars in the sky. There were also no other obvious sources of light, some kind of grayish-white mist drifting high in the sky. evenly covered the entire earth.

In this rough world devoid of details, there is only one thing left in complexity, and that is human beings.

Everywhere you look, humans lying on the desolate ground, their clothes as smooth and rubbery as if they were inferior three-dimensional models, and the intricate details of themselves remain, which means that their soul counts have not yet dissipated. Hao Ren casually glanced down and saw that the humans lying on the ground were sleeping as if they had fallen into a sweet dream, their expressions were serene, and their faces were strangely smiling, as if they had found eternal peace in a dream.

This is the euthanasia of the whole world, weird and creepy.

Hao Ren raised his head and looked around for Nolan's figure, he used the other party as a springboard to enter this world, so the latter should be around here. Just as he was looking around, Nolan's voice suddenly came from the side: "The sky is gone, the plants are gone, and the colors are gone...... The whole world is dead and silent......"

Hao Ren followed the prestige and saw that Nolan was already sitting on a low gray-white square at some point—this square may have been a part of a building, but now it was only an unpainted rough model—and she looked up slowly, her voice as if in a dream: "Why didn't I sleep like them?" Do you know what's really going on in this world? ”

"The darkness before dawn," Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nolan's hand, a gesture that seemed to cheer up the latter a little, "Do you trust me?" ”

"What else can I do?" Nolan asked rhetorically.

"Then open your heart," Hao Ren looked into Nolan's eyes, "I will use your mind as a springboard to talk to the controlling consciousness behind this world, and in the process you will feel that your whole body and mind are being spied on, but I promise you, I will not do anything with your mind, I just need you to make a connection." It's hard to explain, so I can't explain it to you, you...... Would you like to? ”

Nolan blinked slowly, the real-world device was gradually collapsing, and her thinking was affected by this, but she finally understood what Hao Ren meant and nodded slowly: "I don't know what to do, I'll leave it all to you." ”

Hao Ren snorted. Treat the number of hits jù terminal and issue a command: "Terminal, open Nolan's login interface and access the translation mode." ”

When the last step jumps to the moment it is completed. Nolan's body shook for a moment, and then his eyes widened and fell into a state as if his soul had left his body, and at the same time, Hao Ren felt his spirit suddenly be guided to another large, indescribable, almost incomprehensible consciousness body.

For the first time in history, a human being has connected his spirit to his firstborn.

This is an unprecedented adventure and feat, as no one before this could withstand the spiritual power of the Guardians, let alone a direct connection. The mentally resilient monks on Halletta had only heard the dreams of the eldest son and the guardian giants and descended into madness, and the danger of such a connection was understandable.

However, Hao Ren felt no sign of madness, even though he realized that he was connected to a vast and complex will that humans could not comprehend. But there was not the slightest hostility in this complex will.

The eldest son was just curiously observing this "little dot" that was suddenly connected to himself, and from the latter, it sensed several familiar things. One of them is the divinity of the true God, which comes from the reflection of Raven 12345. Other familiar auruses include Source Blood, Goddess Creations, and ...... Something that can't be analyzed.

Hao Ren seemed to see endless light in his hallucination. There was an amorphous shadow in the light, which could not be judged in color or size, and he believed that this was the firstborn, at least the soul form of the firstborn that he could understand with a human mind. He tried to talk to the shadow: "Can you hear me?" ”

There was an uncomfortably silent silence that seemed to last for a century, before a voice finally sounded in the phantom space: "Pain." ”

"Pain?"

"It's painful, it's hot......" the voice came from all directions, "I'm scared ......"

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, he knew that this voice should be the thinking of the eldest son. However, he didn't expect the other party to be so frank, and even confessed...... Like a child.

"You're the guardian of this planet, aren't you?" Hao Ren quickly recovered from his momentary consternation. Speaking in a hurried tone, he said about the situation outside, "I know it's painful for you to hold on now, but if you hold on a little longer, we're trying to find a way to ...... you"

He was interrupted in the middle of his sentence, and the eldest son seemed to be in a state of confusion, and suddenly the voice of his chaotic thoughts suddenly came from all directions:

"Mom told me to protect my younger siblings here, but Mom never spoke to me siblings after that......"

"Mom said my brothers were crazy, and she told me to hide the whole ecosystem......"

"In the end, I can only get everything back into the source blood, but why didn't my mother tell me what to do next......

"It's so hot outside, it's so hot, it's so hot......"

"I didn't hurt anyone, I was just helping my mother take care of the garden......"

"Why doesn't mom talk anymore, mom hasn't talked to me for a long time......"

"I miss my mother, I really miss my mother......"

The eldest son's voice seemed to be mixed together and noisy at the same time, and the massive amount of thoughts for a moment made Hao Ren have a splitting headache, but before he was about to be overwhelmed by these spirits, the divine blessing of Raven 12345 suddenly made him suddenly regain his clarity. Seizing this moment of soberness, Hao Ren shouted out the most effective and probably the only sentence that worked in this situation: "I'll take you to your mother!" ”

Countless voices rang out at the same time: "Mom? ”

"Yes, we're also looking for the whereabouts of the Goddess of Creation - your mother," Hao Ren shook his head, "something is wrong with her, and she's currently asleep in the depths of the universe. If you can keep going, I'll take you to your mother. ”

"You ...... Who is it? The eldest son seems to have finally realized the problem.

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that we are here to solve the problem," Hao Ren said quickly, "The planet is setting into the sun, but I have a spaceship that can transfer your brain nucleus out." You keep all your consciousness and the soul of the Zom in your brain...... You know what a brain nucleus is, right? It's the core of your mind, the place where all your memories are stored. I took it to a safe place and the problem was solved. You won't be burned to death by the sun, you must trust me! ”

The eldest son's voice was silent for a moment, but when it sounded again, it was full of regret: "No, this can't work." ”

"Why?"

"No brain nucleus......"

Hao Ren: "? ”
