"Who is this?" Neo turned his head and followed the voice, and when he saw the comer, he was slightly startled. He saw people who weren't supposed to be here.

Isn't this a complete killing? The agent who destroyed all the program nodes must be unrecoverable.

How did he end up here?

Neo couldn't understand.

"Was it surprising to see me?" said Smith triumphantly.

Neo put on his sunglasses and had a surprised expression on his face. However, this surprise was not directed at the former agent who suddenly appeared, but at Yuan Hao.

"By the way, how did he know Smith was coming?" Neo wondered.

Smith walked up to Neo and smiled coldly, "You guys sensed it!"

"Sensed what?" Neo wondered.

"The connection between us. Smith said calmly, "I don't know why this is happening, it may be that some of your qualities have been passed on to me, which has caused my program nodes to be copied and rewritten." However, this is irrelevant. The important thing is that there is more to it than there is a cause!"

"Why—what cause?" said Neo, frowning.

"I killed you, I saw you dead. To be honest, I was quite satisfied. But then, the most unlikely happened. It's unbelievable that you were able to destroy me! Smith spoke very calmly, and his tone did not fluctuate, as if he was talking about someone else's business: "I know the rules of the matrix very well, and I know that I should indeed be removed, but I don't...... It was a strange thing, and yet it happened to him. I understand why I have to stand here because you ...... Mr. Anderson. I'm here because of you. Because of you, I am no longer an agent of the Mother, and because of you I am changed, I am liberated. I can say that I have been reborn and set free like you. ”

As he spoke, Smith's expression was a little vivid, the lines on his face twitched, and a faint smug naturally fell in.

"He's not the same as he used to be. Yuan Hao whispered in Neo's ear.

"I can see that!" Neo nodded slightly.

It would have been a very surprising thing that a person who should have died appeared here. In the face of such a counterintuitive fact, if Smith says that something has changed, it is also a matter of course.

But why did he appear in front of him?

Does he think he can handle me and Yuan Hao?

How is this possible? He is only one person, and Mr. Yuan Hao and I are the guys who beat him......

Neo pondered, his heart wary. But on the surface, he responded to Smith very graciously: "Then you should really be congratulated." ”

"Thank you!" Smith thanked and continued to walk forward to close the distance between the two parties, "but you also know that the surface is not credible. This has to be done to understand why we are here. It's not that if you're free, you won't be there. We came about because we weren't free. Nothing can escape motive and purpose, and you and I both know that once we have no purpose, we will not exist. ”

"So......" Yuan Hao and Neo both tilted their heads.

"Purpose makes us!" Smith, who was in front of them, laughed playfully and didn't speak, but his voice came from the left side of the two.

Neo turned his head to see another Smith come out of the open iron door and say this.

"PurposeContact us!"

"Purpose manipulates us!"

"Purpose guides us!"

"Purpose drives us!"

"Purpose defines us!"

"Purpose gives us temperament!"

"Let's be regulated. ”

"We are here because of you. ”

"If you try to kill us, we can't let you live. ”

One voice after another rang out, and one Smith after another appeared around the two of them, enveloping them.

"It's ...... Didn't they go to see the Prophet? Why is there a Smith here, and there are so many ......" As the number of Smiths grew, the operators on the Nebuchadnezzar couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Is this situation going to beat the two of us to death?" When the last Smith stopped, Yuan Hao sensed that there were dozens of Smiths surrounding him and Neo, and they were only a foot away from Neo - it could be said that the guy standing opposite Neo was almost close to Neo's face.

Not only that, Neo is like this, but Yuan Hao himself is almost the same. To be honest, Yuan Hao should be glad that these Smiths are computer people and have no popularity, otherwise he would be watched by so many men, and he would have been smoked to death by them.

"To be honest, I'm here for Neo, but I don't want to be able to see you here. Mr. Yuan Hao, frankly, sometimes I am even more curious about you than Mr. Anderson. You'll be next. I hope you continue to bring me new surprises. Smith said.

"Next?" Yuan Hao was slightly startled, and raised his eyes to look to the side, only to see Smith's hand poking into Neo's chest as fast as lightning.

In an instant, his hand turned into black mercury, spreading from his chest to all directions, quickly sweeping through Neo's body.

"This is ......" Yuan Hao was slightly startled, he looked intently, but saw countless green codes trying to replace Neo's own golden code.

"Soul substitution?" Yuan Hao involuntarily exported.

"So to speak!" Smith, who was standing in front of him, smiled, and stabbed out with a quick hand in an attempt to replace Yuan Hao with the same means.

"You want to replace me? You're thinking too well. Yuan Hao pursed his lips, and reached out with one hand and grabbed Smith's sword-like hand directly.

"That's my purpose, and I've done a lot of preparation for that. Smith answered, and the hand that stabbed halfway was slightly flipped and directly buckled Yuan Hao's arm: "Do you think that my means must only pass through the chest? You underestimate me too much." Mr. Yuan Hao. ”

As he spoke, his hand also turned into mercury and took root in Yuan Hao's arm, spreading upwards from his palm. The speed of this black mercury spread very quickly, and it didn't take long to erode Yuan Hao's entire arm.

Yuan Hao didn't struggle, just quietly realized, he felt the strength of his arm being rewritten by something little by little.

"This taste is like ten thousand ants eating bones, and it is very numb. Yuan Hao felt and evaluated. He seems to have given up and accepted his fate, but in fact he is confident.

He knew that Smith's soul replacement was of no use to him at all.

After all, his soul core had been condensed near Jin Dan - he wanted to invade his brain, but his brain was not where the soul core was at the moment.

And......

"With such an attack, I can sweep away your erosion as long as I ignite the flame of my golden pill. Yuan Hao thought.

He did the same, and in an instant a misty golden flame rose up on the surface of his body, burning the black mercury that Smith had infiltrated into his body.

"What? you actually ...... too" The Smith standing in front of Yuan Hao looked surprised.

Yuan Hao glanced up at him, and he could hear the crackling sound of a fight around him. Obviously, Neo, who was a few people outside of his position, also naturally resisted Smith's soul replacement and fought with Smith.

"It seems that I don't want to take care of you anymore!" Seeing that Neo was fine, the corners of Yuan Hao's mouth curled slightly, and his figure immediately swung out a wave of punches and beckoned towards the head of an attacking Smith.

The two sides thus formed two battle circles on the huge community square. Dozens of Smiths surrounded the two of them and fought in this circle.

Neo's strength is one level higher than Smith's, and he has obvious advantages in degree, strength, and reaction, and not only advances and retreats freely in a short period of time, but also has the upper hand. After he stabilized his position, he began to expand his attention to Yuan Hao's side again, and he still remembered that Yuan Hao was a guest of Zion and needed to take care of it himself.

So, he looked up. Who knew that under this, I was surprised in my heart: I saw that Yuan Hao's figure was not far from a radius of several meters, but it was like a ghost, flickering forward and backward, flickering and flickering, Smith obviously recognized his location, but with a punch, he hit a void.

On the contrary, Yuan Hao easily made a move or a turn, and he would magically appear in Smith's unexpected place, and then be easily knocked over. Even if he can sometimes hit Yuan Hao, his fist often slips away as if it had encountered an ice cube. And Yuan Hao counterattacked, but suddenly his strength increased greatly, and he was as heavy as a giant axe, even if he was not inferior to himself. Compared to the method of suppressing with absolute strength, Yuan Hao's counterattack was simply a perfect combination of wisdom, strength, and dexterity.

Just as Neo was amazed, the situation on the field suddenly changed. One of the Smiths, after being knocked away from a distance, yelled, "This won't work, more people are needed!"

As if summoning, as if to summon him, the doors of the surrounding tall buildings were opened, and more Smith strode in.

The venue, which had gradually become sparse, immediately became crowded, and an incomparably strong sense of danger rose in the hearts of Neo and Yuan Hao at the same time.

Not only that, in Yuan Hao's qi induction, the number of Smiths was increasing dramatically, from dozens to more than two hundred in less than a minute, and there were more copied Smiths coming from all directions.

At this moment, Yuan Hao and Neo were really under siege.

The Smiths who flocked from all directions were next to each other, greatly occupying the space for the two of them to move. For every time they knocked down, at least three more Smiths rushed up. With each punch they throw, there were at least seven or eight punches staggered from the opposite side.

In the face of this impenetrable siege, coupled with the unreasonable means of Smith who rushed over, he was forced to be unable to perform a fantastic and electric body technique, and it was not easy to even retreat, so he could only rely on his own arms to block. However, after all, he only has one person, two fists, and it is so easy to block these fists at once.

In the fierce battle, Yuan Hao's figure only stagnated slightly, and he suddenly didn't know how many fists smashed on his body, and he flew out more than ten meters away at once, and before he could land, Neo was also forced to be a trapeze artist.

"Hell, there are too many of them!" Neo grumbled loudly, "Is there any solution to the problem?"

"Let's use the staggered assault!" Yuan Hao suggested loudly.

"Staggered assault?scissor tactics?" Neo's eyes lit up slightly, "Okay!

As he spoke, he waved his fist and rushed towards Yuan Hao. Smith, who stood in his way, was knocked away in his continuous advances.

Although attacks from behind him tried to disrupt his progress, Neo's progress continued.

Neo, who has awakened the power of the savior, is far stronger than Smith in combat power at this time.

Although there were a lot of Smiths attacking, even if their attacks landed on Neo, they only made him feel pain and trouble.

Of course, if Neo stood there and let them fight, he would really be beaten to death by them. Neo himself understands this, so he naturally won't stand there stupidly. was beaten to death by a life that was not as good as his own, so he didn't want to be so aggrieved.

Neo thought so, and Yuan Hao had a similar idea.

In fact, he discovered that after Smith lost his corresponding agent rank, he may have gained the ability to copy himself and absorb the power of others, but his ability to increase his strength and speed "infinitely" was completely gone.

Although Smith is very powerful today, he also has a limit - he Yuan Hao seems that his strength is similar to that of ordinary agents. With this bit of strength and speed, Yuan Hao still doesn't pay attention to it.

Still, there are a little too many enemies. In order to achieve his tactical goals, Yuan Hao had to desperately fight towards Neo's side. He fought his way into the crowd, joined Neo left and right, and began to rendezvous in the guerrilla attacks.

"Smack...... Boom...... Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of punches to the flesh sounded, and it was impossible to count how many Smiths had been knocked out.

Counting, at this time is useless.

Because you fly one, there's always another figure to make up for it.

However, the distance between Yuan Hao and Neo is indeed shortening little by little. Constantly wandering, constantly fighting, I don't know how many Smith blockers he broke through, and how many times he was hit at the same time, Yuan Hao suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and his front was empty.

Finally, after a few big circles, the two finally converged.

However, before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, more Smith surrounded them, tightly wrapping them in the center.

"Damn, there are so many!" Neo said in exasperation.

At this time, his back was already leaning against Yuan Hao's back.

"Great windmill...... We need more space!" Yuan Hao yelled loudly.

"Big windmill?" Neo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood the calculation in Yuan Hao's heart: "Okay, then come!"

Neo decisively turned around and grabbed Yuan Hao's hands, and he suddenly lifted Yuan Hao up and picked him up. Yuan Hao kicked his feet without thinking, kicking all the Smiths who had gathered away.

"Smack...... Syllable...... Smack!" A series of crisp sounds sounded, and the Smiths flew out upside down, and the space around Yuan Hao and Neo instantly vacated a large area.

"Whew...... Finally!" Yuan Hao and Neo breathed a sigh of relief at this point.

"What's next?" asked Neo.

"What else can I do? There are so many enemies, I can only fight to the end!" Yuan Hao said categorically.

He said and glanced at the Smiths who were gathered over there, and the wariness on his face did not fade.

Regarding Yuan Hao's determination, Smith sneered: "Human beings are like this, they are always unwilling to face the facts, for fear that you will not be able to fight." Kill them!"

As he spoke, the dense Smiths swarmed up like a tidal wave. After experiencing such a battle that seemed to have a huge disparity in strength, everyone's subconscious urge to kill was induced.

All of a sudden, the Smiths had begun to fall into a state of semi-madness.
