In the central control room, in the rest area, the director and two female staff members were chatting energetically.

The assessment of the arena is coming to an end, and their work for today is coming to an end, everyone is relaxed, and more and more people are coming to the rest area.

"Superintendent, I have a question for you. The dignified rookie girl asked a little stiffly.

"Excuse me, I'll do my best to answer your questions. The director quietly "scanned" the girl's whole body, and his eyes stayed on her proud chest for a few seconds before reluctantly looking away.

"I've been working here for more than a month, but there's one term I haven't understood ...... what exactly is 'inner world'?"

"Well, it's a good question, it's a complicated one, and it's a Jerusalem secret. Although, with your authority, it is not in principle sufficient to access such core confidentiality issues. But in order for you to be better integrated into the team, I can give you a little bit of science. ”

The director sat down in a comfy chair and his mind flickered, and a glass of tamacindi appeared on the small table, ice cubes floating up and down in it. The director took a sip and said slowly: "Just like people, they are glamorous when they are wearing clothes, and when they are not wearing clothes, they have a different style......

The director smiled and looked at the newcomer, and the analogy made the girl's face blush.

"Jerusalem also has a surface world, the world that we see now, the colorful world of automation, but it needs the support of data to function. And the inner world is where all the data runs, and it is these data that are running all the time that make the table world of Jerusalem so vibrant and colorful. ”

The girl suddenly realized, nodded, and asked, "So, what is the inner world like?"

"As for what the inner world looks like...... I haven't even seen it. It's the world of data, how can we humans see it?" the director narrowed his eyes and took a deep sip of fruit tea, as if remembering some memory.

The girl looked a little disappointed, as if she was a little troubled by the fact that she could not imagine the world in Jerusalem.

The director smiled, "But there is a legend in Jerusalem that says that the inner world is actually an evil world. Just as there are good and evil sides to the human heart, Jerusalem also has an evil side, and in order to maintain the peace and tranquility of the surface world, the Creators threw all its evil parts into the inner world, so it is an extremely sinister and terrible hellish place. ”

The girl was taken aback by this statement, and folded her hands in front of her chest, and the tight top produced a very attractive curve because of this.

The director was in a happy mood: "But I have a new set of theories and insights about the inner world, if you want to know more, come to me after work, we can discuss it in depth......"

Hearing the director's teasing, the girl laughed and ran away.

Looking at the girl's youthful back, the director sighed in his heart with regret.

Hey, am I being too straightforward?

At this time, the director noticed that in the work area behind him, a nervous staff member was standing at his workstation and looked at him, and he stopped talking.

Hey, this eyeless subordinate. The director turned his face expressionlessly and looked at him: "What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, I think you should ...... Should check this out. He pointed to his workbench.

"Is there anything important that you have to come to me now?"

The director's mind moved, and he had already read what he was working on in his head.

"Seventh-level mistakes?"

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't have bothered you about such a small matter, but...... But just now, it has appeared one hundred and forty-three times in a row......"

"Hmm...... You're doing it right......" The director stood up and walked through the "second ring" of the employee workspace to the central control area.

The seventh-level error had occurred several times in a row, and the director had repeatedly confirmed that no staff was operating the arena's scene stacking system.

But now, that mistake is still repeated, if it was just a drop of water falling into the lake, now it's a downpour. From the director's point of view, the lake of data is full of ripples and has fluctuated into a chaotic patch.

The Superintendent carefully examines the data information displayed on the "fruit".

The more data he watched, the more incredulous he became, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his cynical face.

"Oh my goodness......"

A shrill alarm sounded suddenly, and the lights in the entire central control room turned red. All the holographic screens in front of all the staff members are filled with alarms and error messages. Thick error message codes roll over the central information display.

At this moment, the staff did not panic, because they were all stunned, many people were not at their workstations, they were eating seabucks in the rest area, enjoying the scenery, and the alarm caught them off guard.

"It's an invasion! The world in Jerusalem is invaded! Get in position and prepare for it!"

The director's words woke up the dreamers, and the staff moved, and people rushed to their respective workstations one after another, and the scene was suddenly chaotic, like a busy train station.

The director also quickly began to recall the standard process for dealing with an invasion, and the last time he dealt with an invasion was several years ago, and many details had been forgotten. But fortunately, there is Natalie, as long as Natalie makes a move, it will be difficult for the invaders to penetrate deep into Jerusalem.

"The first and second groups maintain the basic system, and the third and fourth groups analyze the level of incursion. "Everyone is in position and starting to deal with the invasion.

"The shield detection system is activated. ”

"The launch is invalid and blocked by an unknown process. The staff member in the mask replied without looking back.

"Detect the source of the process. ”

"This ...... This is a process from the inner world. ”

"Natalie, activate the defenses!" Natalie?" the director called out to Natalie in the data world, but there was no response.

"Natalie, Natalie!"

This is a situation that has never been seen before, Natalie is the executive of Jerusalem, the manager of the inner world, he is like an autonomic nervous system, dealing with all kinds of trivial matters in Jerusalem all the time, in Jerusalem, she has endless power and ability, she can communicate with everyone in Jerusalem at any time 24 hours a day, but now, the central control room has lost contact with her!

Natalie can run without the control room, but the control room can't run without Natalie.

The panicked staff managed to get into place, only to find that many of the equipment was paralyzed. Many of the staff had never seen such a situation before, and there was a riot for a while.

The director was also a little panicked. He'd encountered invasions, but this was the first time he'd dealt with them without Natalie.

"Don't panic, manually activate the defenses, check and report the damage, and wake up that damn deputy director!" the director ordered.

In the panic, he still maintained his basic emergency response ability, the instructions he gave were accurate and effective, and the chaotic central control room restored some order.

A short time later, an entrance to the central control room opened, and a man dressed very similar to the director rushed in. His robes were almost identical to those of the superintendent, but he wore a tall hat with religious overtones on his head.

"Oh my God, the gods are above, what have you done?" shouted the deputy superintendent in surprise as he looked at the error and alarm messages on the center display.

"It's my business!'re an invasion!" the director couldn't help but explode, "Hurry up and get in place, Natalie has lost contact, we have to deal with the intruder ourselves!"

As soon as the superintendent finished speaking, a circular console quickly rose on the ground where he was standing, like a fence surrounding the superintendent. This is a more efficient personal console, the director's hands are pressed on the two runes on the console, the sound of delicate and complex mechanical operations sounds, the director's robes and sleeves are windless and automatic, and gold and blue data flow wildly on his sleeves.

"What?!Natalie lost contact?!The gods are above, my God, I don't know which is worse, the invasion?or the loss of contact with Natalie?" A wall also appeared around the deputy director, and he was also connected to the data world.

"Injuries have reported some disturbances in the energy pool, but the function has not been affected. The intruders have attacked the relevant systems of the arena, and now most of the arena systems are down!"

"It's the arena? Damn! There's an introductory exam going on in the arena, notify them of the system failure, and terminate the assessment!" the superintendent shouted to the staff.

Why Arena? Shouldn't more important systems be hacked?

"Maybe it was just a tentative attack? You know, they haven't had a decent attack since that invasion a few years ago, and that's probably the biggest damage they've been able to do. The deputy director said.

The director shook his head, Natalie's loss of contact at this time cast a shadow on things, and he had a hunch that this matter would definitely not be so simple.

"If it's just the damage to the arena's related systems, then it doesn't seem to be a big problem, Chai, we should pay more attention to Natalie's problem now!"

"Natalie's question?"

"Do you remember the rampage that happened more than ten years ago?"

More than a decade ago, the superintendent remembered that there was indeed a mess, and it was a major accident.

"Natalie may take advantage of this chaos to escape! It is even possible that she is the one who did this invasion......"

"Steve, you mean...... Natalie rebelled?" Director Chai suddenly felt creepy when he thought of this possibility.

Natalie was not a psychic being, she was once a real person, and for some reason that even the superintendent did not know, she merged with Jerusalem and became one of the rulers of Jerusalem.

Her ability to handle Jerusalem's affairs makes her an obvious choice for an executive. But once more than ten years ago, she had a rampage that almost destroyed the whole of Jerusalem, and almost killed everyone in Jerusalem.

She is said to want to leave Jerusalem.

At that time, the administrators had isolated Natalie, but Jerusalem, which had lost Natalie, had lost its vitality and became a dead city, where people could not stay for a day, so the administrators were forced to reactivate Natalie. However, they are afraid of Natalie's strength and impose certain restrictions on her with their minds, and since then Natalie's personality has gradually become somewhat mechanical.

The managers also set up a central control room as Natalie's safety device, on the one hand, the central control room is dedicated to dealing with complex problems that Natalie cannot solve after becoming mechanized, and on the other hand, it is also monitoring Natalie, and the central control room has higher authority than Natalie, which can modify Natalie's plans, and even cut off Natalie's connection with the whole of Jerusalem.

But since then, Natalie has never gone on a rampage, and over the years, the two systems have complemented each other, worked together tacitly, and never made a mistake, and Natalie is still so capable that the central control room has become more and more dependent on Natalie. The management of Jerusalem has also changed between the old and the new, and Natalie's problem has gradually faded out of people's memory, and if it were not for the deputy superintendent, Director Chai would not have thought of this section at all.

"It's a possibility! Natalie is only a high-level NPC after all, and she can make mistakes, and the result of her mistakes is very serious, we must prepare early! I don't want to be a sinner in history!" said Deputy Superintendent Steve.

Director Chai hesitated.

"Where's the button that stopped Natalie?"

A round hole opened on Director Chai's console, and red buttons popped up like fish.

The director looked at the bright red button, sweat on his forehead.
