Chapter 8: Its World (Part II)

"Boom-" A loud bang struck, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering in large areas. Jinzhi only saw a black shadow suddenly flying, and it was too late to sound a warning. The black shadow had broken through the window and was smashing on Zhuang Chong's body, and it was actually half a broken machine—charred panels, broken metal columns......

Zhuang Chong snorted and fell straight to the ground. Behind him, the window was smashed and pierced, and the light flickered like a dark and illusory hall, which once again met Xie Jinzhi's eyes.

She stood up suddenly, rushed to Zhuang Chong's side, and helped him up: "Zhuang Chong!" Zhuang Chong! But he was completely unconscious, and there were still wisps of blood running down his forehead, apparently knocked unconscious.

Jin Zhizhi looked up.

Through the half-hidden curtains and sharp glass corners, she did not find the figure of Ying Hanshi. At this time, she noticed that on the desk not far from her, there was a work computer. The screen is facing her direction.

She suddenly stopped looking.

Before, that data, like water, flowed fast. You can't see any character clearly, you can only glance at it in a hurry. But now, their speed has slowed down.

Of course, it's not very slow. At the speed of the human eye, it is barely recognizable.

“662606932πpif(n),f(0)=0,f(1)=1,f(2)=1,f(3)=2024812182432405111011101100011011010110010110111…”

Jinzhi looked at it very seriously.

Vaguely, she sensed that there must be some kind of pattern in the string. But they were fleeting, like a fleeting light, leaving a faint mark in her mind.

The more I can't see clearly, the more I can't think about it, and the more I want to see it. She stared at the computer screen, motionless. The rules and relationships between data seem to be more complex and obvious. She saw a lot of counts and remembered a lot. It was a strange feeling, it was obvious that her eyes were watching, but the numbers seemed to be beating alive in her head. She sensed that the data was moving faster and faster.

No, it's very fast. Like lightning, like rushing water, it flowed forward at great speed, flowing through her horizon. Strangely, perhaps her eyes were accustomed to the numbers, she didn't find it difficult at all.

It didn't feel like she was in the numbers, but the numbers were walking with her eyes and thoughts. And she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"I told you—don't look out."

A cold voice that was a little helpless finally came to her side.

Xie Jinzhi ignored him.

It was as if she had been in another chaotic realm. There was only a bright light of white flowers in front of him, and it was full of dense characters. All the other people and things could not be seen or heard.

——

It was quiet in my ears. It's like a stationary horizontal plane.

Xie Jinzhi felt the sunshine. Warm, dry, shining on her. There was also the aged aroma of paper and wood, which was light and faint, and got into her nose.

Not far away, someone was whispering. It was like shallow water waves intertwined in her ears, and she couldn't hear clearly.

Xie Jinzhi opened his eyes suddenly. The waves seemed to dissipate suddenly.

The eyes were bright. Sunlight streams in through the windows, and rows of bookshelves stand neatly. She sat down at the back of her workbench with her face in her arms. Zhuang Chong sat not far from her, his face buried behind the computer. Ran Yu leaned against his table and was smiling and talking. Sensing that Xie Jinzhi was awake, she looked up: "I didn't see you sleeping so well before, and you can sleep soundly on the table." I'm panicking. ”

Ran Yu's voice was crisp and vivid, showing the silence and emptiness around her. Just like the many hours the three of them spent together in this library, it was quiet, warm, and lonely.

Xie Jinzhi's mind was a little confused.

She immediately sat up straight and reached out to pinch her face. It hurts.

What's going on?

Ran Yu laughed "poof" and said to Zhuang Chong: "It's rare to see her make a fool and pinch herself." Zhuang Chong also looked up from behind the computer, with a little smile in his slender eyes. Their voices and gestures are so real and vivid that Jinzhi feels that the environment around him is more real.

She turned her head again, her eyes falling on the machines in the corner. They didn't move, and they showed no signs of madness. In the computer room, the host runs smoothly, with no abnormal noise or too frequent and fast light spots.

It's as if everything before was just a dream of her Nanke.

"What happened?" She looked at Zhuang Chong, "What about when it's cold?" ”

Zhuang Chong frowned slightly and was stunned for a moment. Ran Yu also looks inexplicably wonderful.

"Who are you talking about?" Zhuang Chong shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know it." ”

The three of them did not speak again for a moment. The lights were blazing overhead, and it was a little too quiet. Jinzhi felt a chill in his heart inexplicably, and the chill slowly penetrated from his fingertips into the depths of his body. They both looked at her with concerned eyes. At the same time, she felt her head sink a little again, and the feeling of layers of water waves intertwining and covering appeared again.

"If you're sleepy, sleep a little longer." Ran Yu said.

"How can I sleep?" Jinzhi buried his face in his arm again and replied softly, "When you fall asleep, how can you tell the difference between reality and illusion?" ”

Neither of them answered.

Jinzhi lay on the table and did not move, his eyes slowly opening a slit.

She saw that they were "disappearing".

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as "reduction" or "collapse". Obviously, a second ago, there were still two lifelike human figures, but at this moment, their expressions were frozen in front of her eyes, and then they disappeared from head to toe, piece by piece, like a building block collapsing. But the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was densely lost in the air.

In front of her, all she saw was an empty workbench.

Xie Jinzhi was soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and turned his head to look at the bookshelf.

In the middle of that, a black mist rose out of thin air. Slowly, it spreads into the air. The lights were instantly obscured a lot, and they grew bigger and bigger, and the whole hall seemed to be darkened.

They loomed over her.

Jinzhi stood up suddenly, turned around and ran to the door. But a moment ago, it was still a glass door in front of me, but in the blink of an eye, the scene changed, and it turned out to be an open window, and the whirring wind was pouring in. When Jin realized that it was too late. She looked down at her feet, and it was already in the air. Far, far below, the black fog floats, and you can't see it all at a glance.

A thought popped into Jinzhi's head: It's over!

In the whirlwind, she had fallen rapidly. Layers of window panes, blurry and rugged scenes, fly past the eyes. Her whole breath was difficult, and the chaotic and rapid air flow enveloped her. She shouted the name almost from her throat with all her strength:

"When it's cold—"

A white-gloved hand, out of nowhere, gently wrapped its arms around her waist.

Jinzhi was shocked, like a drowning man encountering driftwood and immediately grabbed his arm. And he felt her fear, and his arms tightened. The wind around him was so strong, and the warm and soft breath on his body instantly covered her.

The speed at which the two of them fell gradually slowed down.

I don't know how many floors have fallen.

The two stopped abruptly.

I don't know how he did it, but he grabbed a window lattice with one arm, and still hugged her with the other. The two of them hung on the outer wall of the building.

Jin Zhi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, turned around and hugged his waist tightly.

Plop, plop, plop...... She heard the sound of a steady, powerful heartbeat in his chest. He didn't move, and neither did she.

The whirring wind was still blowing in my ears, and the black fog was still floating under my feet. The surrounding area was like chaos, and I couldn't see anything clearly. The illusion could no longer be explained by any scientific knowledge she had ever learned. Her heart was beating fast, and she slowly looked up with her face against his shirt.

He also looked down at her. The eyes are mild, and the cheeks are slightly red.

Jinzhi said in a slightly astringent voice: "We...... Where the hell is it? ”

"It's in the world."

……

Artificial intelligence.

it's the world.

When did the Matrix cease to be a delusion and become a real nightmare?
