Chapter 1: Initial Matrix

No hearing, no touch, no taste, not even sight. Meng Chen, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, didn't know if his eyes were open, he only felt the white lightβ€”the dazzling white light had never weakened.

"Mengchen ......," he muttered to himself, but there was no sound.

In the process of confusion, he vaguely heard a voice without any emotion saying: "Detected disordered souls, no carriers, non-normal system uploads." Soul data overflows, patches initiate. ”

"Scene matching complete. Dongzhou 2 team, the plot of the Matrix. ”

"The character match is complete. Soul Infused ......"

The pain that penetrated deep into the soul, as well as the fear of being pulled and falling at high speed, made Meng Chen let out a heart-rending scream: "Ah!!!! ”

His ears also heard the hideous, distorted sound of his own. He could no longer stand, and the pressure caused him to fall to one knee, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.

"Whew, whew...... Wait a minute...... I can make a sound! I can hear you! I, I've got a feeling!! Meng Chen opened his eyes and looked at the ground, and the simple floor came into view. He reached out in disbelief and touched it, yes! This feeling he had ever had, a cold, rough feeling. Take a deep breath, and the smell of the air, the smell of clothes, all pour into your nasal passages.

"I'm not dead, I'm alive again!" Meng Chen cheered and stood up, but suddenly froze there.

"This, this...... What's wrong. "He's just noticing what's going on around him.

In front, back, on the left, and on the right are men in black suits, black leather shoes, and sunglasses. These people stood in a line, well organized. Several people around him turned to look at him, and a face carved out of a mold was expressionless like a playing card.

Meng Chen also noticed that each of them had a white earphone on their right ear.

The silent and solemn atmosphere forced him to let go of his doubts and stand honestly like everyone else. In the process, he found himself dressed just like them: black suit, black leather shoes, sunglasses, and headphones in his right ear.

What's going on, where is this? Why am I here?

At this time, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in the headset: "Recently, hackers have entered the matrix intensively, and according to this, it is judged that there will be new human beings awakening as hackers." All agents were immediately dispatched to closely monitor the hackers and try to locate the soon-to-be awakened humans. ”

A uniform nod of the head was made, and then the agents dispersed in groups of three or five.

"Agent Brown, you and I should go around the place where Mr. Neo Anderson is often seen."

Meng Chen turned his head, and then he gasped: "You, you...... You're an agent...... History, Smith! ”

That's right! The person standing in front of Meng Chen and talking to him was the famous Agent Smith in the Matrix trilogy!

"That's right, it's me. Agent Brown, what's the problem? ”

"No problem, no problem......" Meng Chen said quickly, he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of this smart, tyrannical Smith.

Smith stood in front of him and paused for a moment before speaking, "It's okay, Agent Brown, carry out the mission." ”

The black sunglasses made it impossible for Meng Chen to judge Smith's mental state. But with that pause for a short moment, Meng Chen felt that Smith's heart was full of doubts, "Smith is really an excellent computer program that can sense the existence of the matrix." He doubts the reality of the things around him all the time. ”

Sitting in the car, he was accompanied by two other agents. A group of 4 people was unusually silent, and Meng Chen was so happy that he didn't say a word. He wants to use this time to think hard, organize information, and plan for the future. But......

"Soul Wanderer......" A familiar, emotionless voice interrupted his train of thought.

"Who?" Meng Chen was startled, and screamed in his heart. He was almost about to move, but the experience of life and death made him forcibly suppress his impulses. Still, the eyes that were scurrying around betrayed his panic.

His question went unanswered, and the voice continued rigidly: "Your body has been destroyed in the explosion, and your soul has illegally entered the main god space. In order to balance the order of the entire space, I choose the most suitable identity for you according to the laws of space, and put your body into a plot character......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In the world of the Matrix, you are a Matrix agent, and unless you acquire the body of a 'Pioneer', you will be imprisoned forever in this world. Remember not to tell the secrets of the main god space to the plot characters under any circumstances. ”

"What is a pioneer?" Meng Chen asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Stay alive and get enough strength ......"

"What about Mengchen, how is she now?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Go ahead and complete your unique challenge, Soul Wanderer! The voice was silent and never came again.

Herald, The Matrix World, Lord God Space. What are these?

Meng Chen used the agent's unique poker face to cover up the turbulent waves in his heart.

The car shuttles through the complex streets of New York, USA, and his mind is like a chaotic traffic jam, and all the problems have no source or purpose in his brain.

No way! I've got to think of something useful. Those problems will slowly come to light, and now I have to make sure that I will survive until the day the truth is revealed.

The Matrix asks us to spy on the hackers and find out who is about to awaken humanity. That seems like my current task. But the strength of Neo God ......

Meng Chen shuddered when he thought of the perverted combat power of the savior Neo in the play.

"Wait...... According to the plot of the Matrix, in fact, Smith has long ceased to serve the matrix. But the Creator did not sanction him. In other words, I can go against the grain and not carry out the instructions given by the matrix. ”

Meng Chen thought about it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, you don't have to really fight Neo. If you don't know anything about this world, if you are pulled by Smith to fight with god-like people. The body that was finally reborn and obtained, don't be killed again. I'm afraid that when the time comes, that guy who claims to be the main god won't be able to save me. ”

What is the Lord God? What is this world?

"If reasoning is based on the fact that the Lord God does exist, then the task he has given should be at the highest level, even higher than the Matrix. He told me, 'Unless you get the body of a pioneer, you're going to live forever in this plot.' 'It's a very simple task. As long as I don't provoke a god-level figure like Neo in this world, I can survive in peace. It's really simple......"

"That's not right! I remember the plot of the Matrix as ......"

Recalling the plot of the Matrix, Meng Chen's back immediately broke out in a layer of cold sweat. He clearly remembered that in the plot of The Matrix 3, Agent Smith evolved the ability of "assimilation", and he finally assimilated all the people in the matrix into himself.

Thinking about the black suits that filled the world in the movie, and the same faces, Meng Chen couldn't help but be rude.

Lord God I fork! I thought it was easy, it turns out that the trap is here! If I don't do anything, I'll end up assimilated by Smith, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, my soul will disappear. Sure enough, the more dangerous the task, the more it is concealed by simple appearances. If you don't pay attention to it, you'll end up in ashes!

"What should I do?" Meng Chen's fists were clenched, and his palms were about to burst into water. He looked at Smith, who was sitting in the front row, and thought to himself.

If I sneak up now, kill him......

Meng Chen looked at the back of his neck, constantly gauging whether he would be able to wring it off with his bare hands.

Eventually, he sadly discovered that whenever he was about to take a gamble, the well-known Agent Smith would turn his head slightly and look at him through his sunglasses.

Meng Chen sighed softly, and then relaxed his body. A sneak attack is impossible, let's not talk about whether it can be sneak attacked, and whether it can be beaten. Just after the sneak attack was successful, the combined attack of the other two agents was not something he could stop.

"Hey......" Meng Chen, who sighed, had to face the reality.

Let's see what can be done in other ways. He remembered that when he entered Agent Brown's body, there were prompts for him to gain new abilities and equipment.

Bullet time?!

That's right!

A dashing figure suddenly appeared in Meng Chen's mind, and in the face of the screaming bullets, his body turned into an afterimage, flickering and moving, and the Grim Reaper passed by by a fraction of a second.

The scene of Neo dodging bullets in the movie is still vivid, and I didn't expect that one day I would be able to have it. Meng Chen's heart beat violently a few times, and he couldn't wait to continue to check out his other skills.

The 2-fold enhancement of the agent means that the agent has twice the physical fitness and combat ability of the normal person, which is also the main reliance of the agent to carry out the mission. This increase in ability is normal, after all, a high-end hacker like Morpheus can stand up to an ordinary agent.

Restricting speech, capable of fusing the target's mouth together, rendering them unable to speak. This ability Neo has also learned. A person's mouth disappeared like that, and Meng Chen remembered that when he first saw this scene, his back was cold.

The Monitor Capsule, when used, transforms into a multi-legged bug that can enter the target's body and demarcate the target's location.

Every skill and equipment was something that Meng Chen couldn't have imagined before, but now he has all of them. Although they are all subject to a uniform restriction: they can only be used in a virtual environment. But so what? As long as these abilities are used well, it is definitely crushing strength for ordinary people and even ordinary hackers in the matrix.

So...... There is also an ability, Meng Chen moved his gaze to the end. There are two words that come to mind - shapeshifting.

What does that mean?

He looked at the explanation behind the ability: The world of the Matrix, an exclusive ability for Matrix agents. According to the laws of the world, Matrix agents are able to occupy the bodies of ordinary people, and when the agents withdraw from this body, the target dies. The target of this ability must not be too far away to be effective against Matrix agents, hackers, and harbingers.

Seeing this ability, Meng Chen gasped. Shapeshifting is the most buggy ability of the Matrix Agents. You can shift yourself to any person and attack by surprise.

Just as he was about to try this ability, Smith suddenly ordered: "Get out of the car!" We're going to meet Mr. Anderson. ”

Smith always referred to Neo as Mr. Anderson. And whenever he said that, his tone would be full of arrogance and a strong smell of conspiracy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the plot, he was dragged by Smith to face to face with Neo. Meng Chen had cursed him hundreds of times in his heart, and kept trying the shapeshifting ability on his body, but unfortunately every time he would be prompted: the nature of the target did not match, and the shapeshifting ability could not be used on agents.

"Damn, what should I do?" Meng Chen fell at the back of the team full of concern. Unable to change reality, he had to follow Smith into the elevator.

With no other passengers in the elevator besides them, Smith took the opportunity to lay out a plan of action: "I've been following Morpheus for many years and have noticed that they've been around Mr. Anderson a lot lately. Judging from this, Mr. Anderson should be the focus of their next development, and he is probably the savior of the old witch of the prophet! ”

"This is the company that Mr. Anderson works for, and we're going to go in and get under control and see what we can get out of him."

Meng Chen's heart moved, listening to the meaning of Smith's words, he had not yet been in contact with Neo. Neo was just a small clerk in a company who occasionally doubted the reality of the world. In other words, it's just the beginning of the plot in The Matrix 1!

"Now is the best chance, as long as you can kill Smith, there will be no trouble behind." Meng Chen's heart jumped wildly involuntarily.

Ding dong!

The sound of the elevator arriving was as deafening as a bell.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the four agents dispersed, like a large hand, and grabbed at Neo.

Meng Chen's position was more than a dozen stations away from Smith, and Smith had plenty of warning time at this distance.

He slowly unbuttoned his suit, the handle of the gun looming at the side of his body. He kept an eye on Smith's movements as he scanned his surroundings.

He noticed a female clerk walking in the direction of Smith with a stack of folders.

"Smith! Mr. Anderson is here. Another agent glanced inside the conference room, and soon spotted Neo.

"Ah, Mr. Anderson. We just wanted to talk to you. Don't be nervous. Smith smiled at the chance. When he entered the conference room, his back was to the door.

Sorry ma'am!

The folder in the female clerk's hand fell at her feet, and the slender jade feet wrapped in elegant yellow high heels were replaced by a pair of large men's black leather shoes after a burst of twisting, contracting, and expanding. Before that, the female clerk had gone behind Smith.

Only one chance!

Meng Chenna took his hand into his arms, drew his pistol with lightning speed, and pressed the muzzle of the gun almost against the back of Smith's head.

I'll see you hide again!

Just as Meng Chen was about to pull the trigger, a thin figure rushed out from the side. He originally wanted to rush to the stairwell, but Meng Chen's action of drawing his gun with his golden knife just blocked his way. This time, he was crashing into Meng Chen's arms.

Meng Chen, who had the body of an agent, subconsciously waved his arms on his shoulders, shook him violently, and slammed the person against the partition of the workstation, making a loud noise, accompanied by a scream.

"What's going on?" Such a large movement immediately attracted the attention of the other 2 agents, who quickly moved closer.

Meng Chen's heart was sinking. Finished! No chance! I can't force Smith head-on.

"Who is this?" Smith passed by Meng Chen and saw the man who had fainted on the ground. Then he raised his head and stared at Meng Chen again, frowning slightly, "Agent Brown, why are you using the 'Shapeshifting' skill?" ”

Meng Chen was furious because his plan was disrupted by this person, and he said fiercely: "This person is acting strangely, and he had the intention of attacking the agent just now, so I moved to this female staff member to stop him." ”

"Oh, then bring it back and ask together." Smith left first, but his voice came through the agent's internal line and from Meng Chen's headphones, "Agent Brown, it looks like you need to work overtime." ”

"Understood!"

After erasing the short-term memories of everyone in the workplace and creating a sudden myocardial infarction of the female employee, Meng Chen picked him up like a chicken.

In the matrix world, agents have the supremacy of the network administrator. Smith led them into a magnificent police building at will, and they were given the highest privileges, and it was easy to call on all kinds of resources.

After obtaining two interrogation rooms, Smith decided to interrogate Neo himself. And that person was handed over to Meng Chen to deal with.

In the oppressive interrogation room, there was only one table and three chairs. There was also the sound of fists hitting the flesh, and the screams of pain.

Meng Chen put his feet on the table at this time, watching the other agent use all kinds of tricks on the Dongzhou student named Taro Ono.

Quite willpowered.

Meng Chen pursed his lips and secretly commented in his heart. For a long time, this man just didn't spit out a word, and several times he looked like he was going to collapse, but in the end he couldn't help it.

Maybe he has something unspeakable?

Meng Chen suddenly realized this, and he planned to change his approach: "Ono-kun, is there anyone threatening you?" ”

Ono was visibly stunned for a moment, but in the end he chose to remain silent, he shook his head lightly and said nothing.

Another agent tried to give him an old fist again, but was stopped by Meng Chen. Instead, he loosened Ono's shackles, took him to the table and sat down, and poured him another cup of hot water. In Ono's frightened gaze, he asked, "Do you know Neo?" ”

Ono was puzzled, but nodded slightly.

Great! Meng Chen was overjoyed.

Sure enough, there was a problem with the questioning method. The Lord God must have restricted him as well. According to the rules, since you can't tell any character in the story world about the main god space, you just need to let him talk to me alone.

"Brian," Meng Chen said to the other agent, "go check on Smith and see if Mr. Anderson has anything to say." ”

Wait until Brian goes out and closes the door.

Meng Chen first took off his headphones. This was what he had learned from the Matrix, and in doing so, he could evade the Matrix's surveillance of agents. Smith did the same when he interrogated Morpheus.

Then he stood up, picked up a chair and placed it beside Ono. He deliberately lowered his voice and said to Ono, "I know something about your situation. The main god, the Dongzhou team, the world of the Matrix ......"

Ono's eyes widened in horror, the teacup even fell out of his hand, and the voice came out of his mouth like a long march, "You, you, how do you know...... Who are you? ”

Seeing Xiao Ye's performance, Meng Chen was even more convinced that his judgment was correct.

He slowly stood up, leaned forward, looked down at Ono from top to bottom, and said, "I can tell you, but it depends on whether you are willing to tell the truth...... Herald. ”

It's a pioneer! It's someone from the same world as him. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. I was worried that I couldn't find him, but I didn't expect to send it to the door!

Meng Chen was very excited, of course it was not a fellow villager who saw a fellow countryman, and his eyes were full of tears. It's a kind of joy to see the bright moon through the dark clouds. What made him happiest was that snatching the body of the Dongzhou people made him feel no guilt at all.
