When the beams of light that were originally cast straight down were inclined to the center point, Wu Chen, who was ready to dedicate (out) his body (body), knew that he was crooked.

In the center of the intersection of the beams of light, bathed in layers of blooming and rippling golden light, a beautiful embodied creation, constantly expanding like a blow, was quickly shaped by the efforts of the awakened.

"This is the host of ......" Zion, apparently also capable of being a matrix-like body. Therefore, what appeared in front of Wu Chen was a circle.

To be precise, it is an energy ring composed of three equidistant metal arcs and a beam of light sandwiched between them. The moment Wu Chen's fingers touched the metal, the beam connecting the three metal arcs contracted rapidly, and the three metal arcs were connected in pairs, closing into a complete metal bracelet.

Although the metal bracelet contained surging energy, Wu Chen did not feel a strong spiritual force field.

"It's ...... Neo?! As he spoke, Wu Chen's whole body trembled! Although he couldn't be sure if it was the sixth generation savior of Glow, he still noticed some clues due to the powerful ability of the seventh generation savior!

Wu Chen once asked the beautiful mature woman in the eternal graveyard, for example, she is a trans hero template, and the first son is the template of the gods' abandoned son, so what is the template of the sixth generation of Neo?

Beautiful mature woman said: Really? Savior.

Wu Chen's eyes suddenly appeared as a man with seven wounds on his chest.

"In his confrontation with Smith, Neo sacrificed himself for peace between humanity and machine." The voice of the Awoken was filled with reverence: "This is his and Smith's 'Source Light', you can call it the Light Source. ”

"Light source." Although it was only two simple words, Wu Chen read a deep meaning. Especially in these dark times. The word 'light source' is destined to mean a lot.

"Neo's truth, goodness, beauty. and Smith's hypocrisy, evil, and ugliness. Annihilated by the impact, leaving the purest 'light source'. ”

"There is no good or evil, position, camp, the purest spiritual force field. It is the embodiment of a powerful energy field at the domain level. Wu Chen understood the meaning of the bracelet.

In other words, the metal ring in Wu Chen's hand is a mental creation like Phoebe's Ω Scorpio spiritual armor.

Abbreviated as dimensional matter (=.=).

"As you said, the aura has no good or evil, positions, or factions. The good and evil, the positions, and the factions of the people who use it will maximize the choice of binding aura. So, what can it become. It's entirely up to you, little one. ”

"Why? Why did you give me the last vestiges of Neo and Smith? ”

"Because Morpheus he believes in you. Believe in you just like he believes in Neo. So, we decided to hand over the aura to you. The Awakened finally told the truth.

"You, no, what does he want me to do?"

"Follow your heart and do what you want." The Awakened gave an open-ended answer. It seems that the degree of freedom is very high.

However, Wu Chen felt unprecedented pressure.

Holding the metal ring that turned into a tightening spell in his hand, he smiled astringently, "Can I return it?" ”

"Hehe......" the Awakened laughed, "so. We were also relieved......"

The beam of light began to spread, and Wu Chen's consciousness also dispersed. Open your eyes again. has returned to the body. Morpheus was removing the neuronal helmet for him with a solemn face.

The aura that the awakened people gave to Wu Chen naturally couldn't be brought back. It preserves zài Wu Chen's spiritual world.

"Now, you're Level 5 clearance." As he spoke, Morpheus handed the upgraded identity card to Wu Chen.

"It's as simple as that?" Wu Chen took it casually.

"We all know it's not easy at all." Morpheus refers to the mission that Wu Chen has just received with a very wide degree of freedom.

"Indeed." Wu Chen nodded: "Then I won't thank you." ”

"Not really." Morpheus smiled.

Crawling back to the speaker's office step by step along the steps, Wu Chen immediately said goodbye to him. Before pushing the door, Wu Chen suddenly turned around and asked, "This active volcanic lava lake under Zion has never erupted, aren't you curious?" ”

"When you figure it out, come and sue me." Morpheus replied meaningfully.

Returning to the power plant for the first time, the shocked expression of the engineer who was still waiting for the shift change to receive the level 5 permission card made Wu Chen feel a little proud.

"One level up in one day......"

"Uh-huh. When you see me again tomorrow, you'll be level six. ”

"Tomorrow...... I'm on a rotational break! "Sure enough, people are more popular than dogs, wow! The engineer wiped away tears and gritted his teeth as he pasted his badge on the computer screen.

The encrypted document beeped and was successfully decrypted.

This is a video article jiàn.

"Heat pool maintenance engineer Hank, number 6528, 107th routine overhaul, records begin." The specific age of the Hacker Empire has long since disappeared in the long river of human history. So the way the Zionites recorded time was the 'Zion calendar'. The day of each Zion's rebirth is designated as the first year of Zion, the first day of the first month.

"Routine rollback (redo system) of lengthy programs that have recently experienced frequent delays." The engineer sitting in front of the computer quickly retrieved the information of the senior engineer number 6528, which showed that the engineer was dead. Wu Chen glanced at the record, and Hank, the maintenance engineer, died in the last Zion offensive and defensive battle in Hacker Empire 3.

"Hell, rollback failed, background program was detected." The engineer quickly unfolded the code and found the background program that was running secretly.

"Huh?" Zooming in on the 0 and 1 snippets, the engineer suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong, Hank?" The companion, who only showed a pair of engineering boots, asked off-camera.

"Hell, this looks like a piece of manually set execution code. Every ...... 100 cycles and it will run automatically. ”

"So someone is behind it?" The companion was immediately excited.

"I said Vic, can you please stop doing this, remember, peace is happiness." Hank manually ended the automating snippet and successfully rolled it back.

"Hot Pool Maintenance Engineer Hank, No. 6528. The 107th routine overhaul. Documented. "As Hank finished. The video was also interrupted.

Not to mention Wu Chen, even the engineer who operated the computer was keenly aware of the suspicions.

"Sir, can you retrieve the boom program for the heat pool."

Wu Chen nodded: "Where?" ”

"There." Through the thick protective window, the engineer pointed in the direction of the molten lake.

Wu Chen followed his fingers and saw a huge mechanical boom.

"Okay." The function of the boom is to grab the fluid ore screen. These robotic arms, which hang above the molten lake (or the heat pool of the Zion's population), will once in a while, sieve the fluid ore full of rare metal ore from the lake's surface. Although it is very important. But for the power plant as a whole, it's not a central link. The boom is more for the service of the shipyard. At best, it can be regarded as an accessory.

Therefore, Hank, a cautious engineer, did not magnify the incident and did the most appropriate rollback treatment.

If Wu Chen hadn't deliberately narrowed down the scope of this video and circled it on the molten lake, no one would have cared about it.

Wu Chen has the fifth-level permissions, and after reading it, the Zion host was immediately unblocked, allowing Gloria to successfully access the control port of the machine's qì boom.

Soon, Gloria found the unusual execution code.

"The hosts. This is a very common piece of code, let alone advanced programmers. Even the Cheng dù of artificial intelligence is far from reaching. After a closer search, Gloria was disappointed.

Wu Chen didn't think so. Subconsciously glanced at the molten lake at the bottom of his feet, and said in a deep voice: "Execute it." ”

"What?" Gloria, who was still retrieving the entire control program, didn't react for a while.

"Execute this code." Wu Chen said it again.

"Understood." Gloria quickly executed the code.

After a delay of about a few seconds, the operation interface finally popped up. And on the pop-up box that asks if you are sure about execution, there is a 100-second countdown. In other words, when this code is executed automatically, a selection box will pop up, and if there is no response within 100 seconds, the execution will be terminated by default, and it will be transferred to the background program, waiting to be activated again.

That's why when Engineer Hank found it, it was displayed as a background program.

This means that for 100 seconds of the selection box popping up, no one is working.

Of course, as an unimportant program for grabbing the ore screen, no one will pay attention to it 24 hours a day.

However, Wu Chen, who came prepared, was different. Instructed by Wu Chen, Gloria nodded heavily at Y.

The pop-up box disappeared immediately, and the giant mechanical hook claw hanging above everyone's heads suddenly activated, and the clenched iron fist smashed into the molten lake like a meteor!

"Be careful!" Wu Chen hurriedly warned him. Although it is far away from everyone, the barbed wire fence on the soles of the feet leaks!

The churning lava and flames failed to reach the soles of Wu Chen's shoes, and they were thrown to the surface of the lake. As the alloy chains of the traction hooks continued to pour backwards into the molten lake, Gloria kept recording the distance of the descent.

"1800 meters!" With Gloria's announcement, the chains abruptly stopped falling. didn't let Wu Chen wait too long, and a new selection box popped up on the LCD screen.

Gloria hit the 'Y' quickly.

Soon, the iron rope began to rise at an accelerated rate, and the magma that was shaken off, like a blazing fire snake, tumbled and sank into the molten lake. This time, there was no need for Gloria's announcement, and there were already numbers counting down on the screen.

The molten lake began to churn, with the iron cable as the center, and the ring of fire was waved. It felt like a giant whale being dragged out of the lake by its hook and claw.

Just when everyone thought it was a trap and were ready to take action, the chains suddenly stopped moving, and the boiling lake arched with the click of gears. The rod-like handle, which is held by the mechanical hook claw, implicates a huge ball.

As the magma slowly slid off the spherical shell, the spherical mass revealed rising steam, and its entire body was covered with a reddish metallic undertone.

"This is ......" Wu Chen's first reaction was to think of the Shenzhou spacecraft.

While everyone is desperately trying to figure out the situation, the procedure initiated by Gloria is still faithfully executing.

With a shudder on the soles of his feet, the access deck began to fall, and quickly reversed course during the descent, completing the connection to the ball.

"Master?" Gloria gestured to the screen, signaling for the program to pop up a selection box. (To be continued......)
