The narrow streets are crowded with people, and the plaques with strong Chinese flavor are everywhere.

Such a distinctive decoration and the men and women of different skin colors walking in it made Yuan Hao, who followed Morpheus and his party here, couldn't help but widen his eyes with curiosity.

He had seen more people than this, but he still saw less of the narrow and Chinese charm of the streets, and so dense and so luxuriant. In his impression, such streets seem to be comparable only to the "ancient streets" of more than ten years ago.

You must know that even in his hometown, after entering the new century, the streets are getting wider and wider, and what is a street ten meters wide? Walking on the street, you will find that the city's avenue has already run up 20 or 30 in small steps. The nickname of the rabbit family infrastructure madman is not called in vain. Widening roads is also a kind of infrastructure construction.

"Aren't you from the old days, why are you here...... Is there curiosity in his eyes?" asked Yuan Hao curiously.

At this time, Morpheus led the way in front of him, while Neo and Trinity followed Yuan Hao and Pingyuan - this time, just in case, Yuan Hao brought Pingyuan in. He wanted to say something to the prophet, and wanted Pingyuan to give him more points. The group walked so naturally.

Trinity was used to silence, but Pingyuan's eyes were a little invisible. This was her first time in the Matrix. didn't interfere in women's affairs, his eyes were on Yuan Hao's body, and he felt that Yuan Hao was very mysterious.

He is different from himself, but he can defeat the agent, which makes Neo a little concerned. Maybe it was the Prophet or Morpheus who said something to him, but in short, Neo was staring at Yuan Hao blatantly at the moment.

"I've never been abroad...... It's the first time I've seen a Chinatown abroad. It's always a bit of a plausible feeling. Yuan Hao frowned slightly.

"Plausible?" Neo wondered, "Doesn't this look like China?"

"It's very Chinese, but it's not the same as the real China. Yuan Hao shook his head with a smile, he thought about it, and said like this: "It feels like the times! There are many high-rise buildings outside, everyone is wearing suits and leather shoes, and they are holding all kinds of novel gadgets in their hands. It's a sign of a new era, and here's a feeling of sixty or seventy years old, smelly and smelly, but too old. ”

"Isn't that true?" asked Neo, puzzled.

"The facts? This is the truth in your eyes...... It's your imagination. In fact, it's so different from what we recognize. Imagine it, it's like you're just mixing two different eras together. Maybe you don't think it's any different, but I always find it weird. Yuan Hao smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about it." Anyway, you're used to this weirdness. The city was built according to your ideas. ”

"Oh!" Hearing Yuan Hao say this, Neo just said oh.

In fact, he also had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, "Why...... You're a little bit fried about this mashup?"

Of course, he didn't understand Yuan Hao's thoughts of disgust and anger at the prejudice of others looking at him.

Morpheus led the group through Chinatown, and he strayed off the avenue to the side of the alley. It's also a little strange to say, the road outside is so lively, but after turning a few directions, the noise disappeared without a trace.

In the open space ahead, in what seemed to be a narrow circle surrounded by tall buildings, Morpheus suddenly stopped.

"The Prophet is inside. All you have to do is pass the appropriate test and you're going to be in. Morpheus said, waving his hand in a gesture of please.

This made Yuan Hao more and more suspicious in his heart.

It was your prophet who wanted to meet us, but you still said that you wanted us to pass the corresponding test, are you playing with me?

Yuan Hao glared at Morpheus angrily. Morpheus smiled innocently, and the posed hand was not lowered, still with that honest appearance.

"That's really ......," Yuan Hao wanted to smash his fist into his face.

In the end, though, he didn't. It's not that he can't, it's that Neo has already pushed open the door and walked inside. Yuan Hao, who was not good at showing his dissatisfaction with Morpheus, could only snort heavily and walked towards the house.

The candles in the room, what could be called a light source, were neatly arranged on both sides, but such neatness did not bring much light to the lobby of this restaurant, which can be described as old and simple.

The whole restaurant can only be described as a fair light, and it is still a level darker than the brightness of broad daylight outside. Yuan Hao followed Neo in, and the door closed automatically behind him.

As the door closes, the entire restaurant falls silent.

Yuan Hao's gaze swept over these neatly arranged seats, and finally fell on the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed in a white Tang suit and looked a bit of a worldly man.

This is a yellow man with a flat head, and he looks really capable.

Moreover, Yuan Hao's eyes narrowed, he sensed and focused, and saw the code structure of the entire room. Under the black background of the space, countless bright green codes are staggered, building the appearance of the entire space. And among the green codes, a human body composed entirely of golden codes sat there, with a faint glow all over its body, as vivid as fireflies in the night.

"Neo, this guy is different. Yuan Hao whispered to Neo's side.

"I can see that!" Neo nodded.

His statement made Yuan Hao stunned for a moment. It was then that he realized the change in Neo.

Neo is not a big talker, and if he says that, it proves that he can really see through it all. And he was able to do that, proving that he did go to a point where he could defeat the agents. He embarked on his own path as a savior.

Fate, in the case of some inexplicable line traction, after Yuan Hao's fiddling, returned to the original place.

"You penetrated that agent named Smith?" asked Yuan Hao tentatively.

"How do you know?" Neo glanced at Yuan Hao strangely, "I haven't told you about this." ”

"I heard it from other people. If you can easily defeat an agent, not many people in Zion can do it. Yuan Hao smiled and played with him haha.

"Oh, that's right!" Neo agreed with Yuan Hao's statement.

The two of them muttered for a while as if no one was here, but the computer man who pretended to be indifferent and watched coldly couldn't stay any longer.

He cleared his throat, and after attracting the attention of Yuan Hao and Neo, he calmly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, the prophet didn't invite you here to chat. Your powers of observation are remarkable, but for now, I think it's better to get down to business. ”

"Who are you?" Yuan Hao began.

"My name is Seraf...... Now it is up to me to protect the Prophet. The man put down the teacup in his hand and said unhurriedly.

Hearing that he was like this, Neo opened his mouth with some joy: "Hello, we need to see the Prophet, can you help?"

"I can take you to her, but I want to apologize to you first. Seraf said as he slowly stood up and spread his hands.

Apologize?

Neo wondered: "Why do you want to apologize?"

"Well......" Seraf said with a little embarrassment, "I heard that someone was able to defeat the agent in the Matrix!" so I came...... I want to see what that power looks like. ”

"Really?" Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes and spoke first: "I heard that Seraf is the highest level of Seraphim among the 9 levels of medieval mythical angels, and he is also the angel with the strongest combat power...... According to my opinion, you should be dressed as blonde and blue-eyed, but I don't want you to be dressed as a Chinese. This makes me wonder, can you answer my questions?"

"Because of the golden mean!" Seraf said calmly, "great power requires a strong heart. In my opinion, only moderation can keep me from being biased and enable me to better perform my duties. ”

"Your duty?" Neo was a little curious, "Can you tell me what your duty is?"

"Guard! Guardian is a very crucial figure to the Matrix. There was nothing to hide from Seraf, and he told Yuan Hao and Neo about it straightforwardly.

"Guard?" Neo was still a little confused about Seraf's duties, but Yuan Hao already knew this in his heart.

In this world of the Matrix, Seraf's duty is to guard the most important things:

When the Frenchman Merovinga was at his most important, Seraf was his bodyguard;

He reappears to the Prophet when he becomes the key figure, and when the little Indian girl Satie becomes the future that holds the fate of the Matrix World, he becomes the patron saint of Satie - he protects different people at different times.

"This is a guy who is very focused on bodyguards. Yuan Hao muttered quietly.

But he had some idea of why Seraf said he liked moderation. As the representative of the strongest combat power in the matrix, Seraf can undoubtedly use it to change some of the rules.

The Matrix gives it great power and authority, and in order to harness such authority, Seraf needs great control, the power of the so-called "heart" - when it comes to cultivating the mind, what is more powerful than Chinese culture......

The power of mind cultivation to be able to witness the end?

There are only two in the world: Buddhism and Taoism. And compared to the Buddhist gate, which emphasizes the emptiness of everything, it seems that the Tao of the Taoist gate is more suitable for Seraf. So, he made this choice.

"It's good. "After seeing too many computer people dressed as Westerners, Yuan Hao still has a good impression of a guy dressed as a Chinese like Seraf.

Since Seraf was curious about his own strength and had the idea of challenging himself in his words, Yuan Hao naturally would not back down. At that moment, he once again rushed in front of Neo, came to Seraf, clasped his hands into fists, and performed a standard martial arts salute: "In that case, let me see and understand." ”

As soon as the words were closed, Yuan Hao didn't wait for Seraf to answer, and jumped on the square table in front of him and attacked Seraf. He uses the square table as a pedal, and the distance between them is several meters in one step.

And...... He's not just a step. With each step he took forward, a rush of energy was transmitted from his shoulders to the table. The bamboo tubes loaded with chopsticks on the table jerked violently.

Dozens of chopsticks rose into the air and turned into arrows, shooting straight at Seraf like lightning. Front, back, left, back...... The chopsticks seemed to be carefully calculated, and suddenly blocked the space around Seraf.

If Seraf is just an ordinary computer guy who doesn't know much about skills, the only thing he can do right now is to swing his fists and make a trick or something.

But it's clear that Seraf isn't Smith's kind of guy who doesn't understand the tricks. Always emphasizing the golden mean, he knows a lot about the Chinese's set of ideas, and he has mastered many fighting skills, and he has better means of dealing with them than agents.

I saw that Seraf stepped on the seven stars, his body unfolded, and as soon as his figure turned, the whole person was out of the attack range at the moment when the chopsticks fell. Dozens of chopsticks passed by like this, neatly inserted into the wall behind them in a burst of "Duoduoduo" sounds.

"Good skills...... But this is just the beginning, look at the legs!" Yuan Hao chuckled, watching Seraf's dexterous response, his eyes were full of frenzy.

At this time, he had already stepped on the last wooden table that could be used as a borrowing, and the whole person jumped high, and at the moment when he was about to touch the ceiling, he pushed hard to the ceiling, and his body was borrowed again, and his speed was strengthened again.

Others are in mid-air, but their bodies have already completed a series of movements of twisting their waists, stretching their hips, and swinging their legs. As he approached Seraf, a whip swept across with a thunderous sound.

As the distance of nearly one meter passed in an instant, the fierce wind pressure brought by the whip leg had forced the white Tang suit to open wide.

"It's so strong!" said Seraf's face changed color slightly.

Although the prophet had already told him not to underestimate Yuan Hao, and Seraf himself tried to see Yuan Hao as a guy who was stronger than an agent, it was only at this time that he actually fought him that he realized that he still underestimated the other party.

Needless to say, let's just say that the power of his blow has exceeded twice the peak that the agent once reached - it was the power that the agent and Neo had competed with, and Neo was forced to die after he finally awakened to become a savior. Such a huge force has a case record in the database of the matrix.

In fact, no one can completely hide their posture in the matrix. The agent can't do it, the savior can't do it, and neither can Yuan Hao. Feeling this powerful power, Seraf really couldn't think of anyone else in the matrix besides Neo and himself who could face Yuan Hao head-on. "Maybe ......" Seraf's thoughts turned, and he directly crossed his hands to block.

"Bang!" With a tooth-aching thud, Yuan Hao's whip leg kicked Seraf's arm.

Several visible ripples spread between the two of them.

Suddenly, the pottery bowl on the table, which had been stationary, was shaken by the impact. In the echo of the humming of the clay pot, Yuan Hao's attack hit Seraf's head and face like a raging storm.

At this time, his body was still in mid-air, his fists interlocked, and he slammed down from top to bottom. This blow is like a hammer, and it is even more unstoppable. While his fist was still in the air, a series of explosions had exploded in the air, as if all the strength of his body was integrated into it. In the face of such a violent blow, Seraf could only temporarily avoid his attack.

As soon as he slammed under his feet, a clear footprint suddenly appeared on the solid concrete floor, and Seraf also withdrew with the help of this slam, making Yuan Hao smash into the air. With the blow that had accumulated enough momentum to miss, Yuan Hao had no place to borrow, and fell from the air.
