"I'm willing to help you with this."

After a short silence, Luo Lei finally gave an affirmative answer.

"Good!"

Ma Xingkong's heart that had been hanging finally let go, and his face was no longer as sinking as water.

His father, Marco, is dying, and it can be said that every second is a race against death. Even if it is maintained with the most high-end medical equipment at present, who can't guarantee that the next moment, his life will not end immediately.

"You do it for me, and I'll help you board the Snowpiercer."

He didn't want to delay a minute or a second, and hurriedly said, "Then let's start now." ”

"Wait." Luo Lei raised his hand slightly, making Ma Xingkong stunned.

"There are a few more things I want to confirm with you......"

Luo Lei's expression was serious, and there was uncertainty in his tone: "If according to what you said, this linear timeline is designed based on Marco's hippocampal memory, then the spatial stability of this linear timeline depends on the strength of Marco's mental strength in the current period, but it seems that his mental state is not good." ”

At this time, You Xiaobai seemed to understand what he meant, and asked, "Do you mean ...... Will the metaverse space in Marco's mind collapse at any time? ”

"Pretty smart!" Luo Lei praised.

Ma Xingkong didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Indeed, my father's current spiritual power is like a candle burning to the end, and the flame may be extinguished at any time...... When his mental power is completely extinguished, this linear timeline will be formatted. ”

He raised his head to face Luo Lei, and continued: "If you don't quit before this, then your spiritual consciousness will be locked in the dimensional crack created after the collapse of the space, and you will be directly brain dead!" ”

This clear explanation could not be clearer, which made Xiaobai's heart frightened!

I didn't expect to have such a big risk in entering the metaverse!

She subconsciously began to worry about Luo Lei's safety, and wanted to stop Luo Lei, so as to persuade him to think again;

However, he listened to Ma Xingkong and said: "Brother Luo, isn't this situation within your consideration?" You were the first person in the world to discover this rule! ”

He felt a little strange and looked at Luo Lei with a puzzled face.

"That's right!"

As soon as he heard this, Xiaobai patted his head and said, "Aren't you known as the first person in the metaverse field?" You should be able to fix this problem. ”

Luo Lei was a little big by their singing and harmony: "I'm just sure of it!" Besides, I don't know much about medicine, and if I can't be sure how much time I have, then the success rate will be greatly reduced! ”

As he spoke, he took out his tablet from the box and said as he turned it on: "Of course I can keep myself safe, but what if my wish is not fulfilled?" So pony, you have to give me an approximate amount of time so that I can choose a coping strategy according to the situation. ”

"That's ...... so"

Ma Xingkong put away the strangeness in his heart, stared at the medical detector and observed himself for a while, but finally shook his head.

"I can't be sure...... I only studied a little bit of psychological medicine in college, and I still took elective courses, so I really can't give you a definite answer. ”

This time it was Luo Lei's turn to be weird: "Then who is treating your father's illness?" Who installed these medical devices for him? ”

Ma Xingkong replied naturally: "Professor Gu Zhiyu, who currently lives in Ice Blade Town, used to be the chief chief physician of the Department of Neurology of Shujing Central Hospital......

I forgot to tell you that my father was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, but instead of chemotherapy, he asked me to contact the best neurologist to maintain his mental consciousness as much as possible until his wish was fulfilled in the metaverse. ”

Xiaobai was a little surprised and said: "What are the conditions of your family, and you can still call a doctor to come to see a doctor in this environment?" ”

Ma Xingkong smiled, did not answer the question, and said: "I just implanted the monitoring code in the chip I just gave you, and after you enter the linear timeline, I can observe what is happening inside through your perspective...... Well, from here. ”

He then walked to his desk and turned on the screen of his desktop computer, which showed that it was currently in standby mode.

Ma Xingkong picked up a headset from the table and put it on his ear: "There is also a voice program in the chip, and I can talk to you in one way in the real world...... But it doesn't make a difference, and I can hear you talking in there. ”

Luo Lei nodded, connected the chip in his hand to the tablet, and then some data screens composed of blue numbers popped up on the screen, followed by a quick percentage reading bar, and after completion, the LOGO of Lei Li Technology was displayed.

Luo Lei looked at this LOGO and frowned for a while, and asked, "Haven't you already resigned?" Why are you still using the system of Leili Technology? ”

Ma Xingkong spread his hands and said, "Otherwise? All the technology products of the metaverse technology chain in this world, only those produced by Lei Li Technology can be called 'genuine', and the products of other companies are all identified as pirated; not only the quality and safety are not guaranteed, but if they are used without authorization and are discovered by the company, they will face serious 'punishment'! ”

Luo Lei looked at Ma Xingkong with a solemn expression, wanting to say something, but he still didn't speak.

Ma Xingkong seemed to have seen his concern for a long time, stared at him for a while, and asked knowingly: "Are you worried that once you use the company's technology, your whereabouts data will be transmitted to the headquarters through the 'Spirit Realm' server, and then they will find out that you are not dead?" ”

Xiaobai, who was playing with the computer screen, looked back and seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter.

I saw Luo Lei shaking his head lightly and whispering: "I'm not worried that they will find out that I'm not dead, I'm worried about your ......."

"Worried about me?"

Ma Xingkong was stunned, and then laughed out loud: "What do I have to worry about? This kind of commercial technology product is widely circulated in the market, even in the current pattern, there are millions of users using it! I'm just one of them......

Moreover, even if this level of product data is uploaded to the head office server, it is likely to be ignored by the supervisors and disposed of as data garbage. ”

Luo Lei said cautiously: "You know I'm not talking about this ......"

"That's it!"

Ma Xingkong interrupted: "I'm also a former employee of the company, and there is room for maneuver in everything, so you still have to worry about yourself!" ”

As if he felt that the last sentence was a little inappropriate, he softened his tone and said, "Brother Luo, time is really running out, please help me fulfill my father's last wish as soon as possible...... Right now! ”

With that, he turned and walked to the bookcase, and took out an AR audiovisual device from the drawer below, a model that combines headphones and eyeball flashing goggles.

"There's only one left."

"After leaving the company, I haven't touched the metaverse for a long time...... If you don't have a device, use this. ”

He reached out and handed the AR device to Luo Lei.

"No, you don't."

Luo Lei excused himself, and then pulled out a cable directly from the tablet!

This line is familiar to Xiaobai......

This is the one that was connected to the Black Iron Clan's Origin Hedron during the Battle of Fireplace Fort yesterday!

Immediately afterwards, Luo Lei found a stool and sat down, put the tablet on his lap, then pinched the connecting cable with his left hand, stretched his right hand to the left back of his neck, and gently touched it on the skin......

I saw that the skin instantly cracked a small crack in the middle, and the flesh on the left and right of the gap immediately retracted like opening and closing the door, revealing a square jack that exactly matched the connection cable.

This scene almost shocked Xiaobai's jaw!

"You're a robot!?"

The girl's knowledge is shallow; I've seen similar scenes in movies in the past, but if you want to say that a real person in the real world suddenly pops out of his skin, a mechanical device suddenly pops out of his skin, which is really unheard of and incredible!

"It seems that your parents and your school teachers are really strict with you!"

Seeing Xiaobai's eyes like looking at a monster, Luo Lei smiled and said: "This is just a normal brain-computer interface, even five years ago, it was already more popular." ”

"Popular? Popularize yarn! It's the first time I've seen someone put a USB in their flesh when I'm growing up! Xiaobai said in horror.

Ma Xingkong said helplessly: "Brother Luo, it may be that you are also blind!" Five years ago, although brain-computer interface technology was relatively mature, most people still preferred to use external devices. ”

"After all, not everyone wants to open their mouths in their heads." He laughed.

"Oh...... Understand. ”

Luo Lei was noncommittal, and didn't say anything, and directly inserted the connection cable into the brain-computer interface.

"Hiss~~~!"

A long hiss wandered through the room; However, it was not Luo Lei who made the sound, but Xiaobai.

The girl obviously felt pain when she looked at it!

The moment the cable is connected to the brain-computer interface, thousands of numerical codes become active, and more than a dozen operating panels appear in the tablet.

Luo Lei concentrated, clicked his fingers on the screen, and debugged various controllable data according to system feedback; After a few operations, he confirmed that it was correct, and then he looked up and said, "I'm ready." ”

Ma Xingkong stared at his head: "Then let's start." ”

He folded his hands over his chest, moved to the computer screen, and sighed as if he was nervous.

But Luo Lei's voice came from behind his ears......

"Pony, you know what? Life is like a road trip that drives forward, and you can't just look in the rearview mirror and drive. ”

Ma Xingkong turned his face sideways, and his eyelids were slightly sunken.

Luo Lei didn't look at him, but just said in a low voice: "The rearview mirror is only the size of two fists, but it is just to let you see where you are passing and ensure that the cars and obstacles that you have crossed will not crash into you again;

The area of the windshield is more than ten times that of the rearview mirror, and what you see through it is the future. ”

"What do you want to say?" Ma Xingkong withdrew his gaze.

His finger was about to press the ENTER button, Luo Lei smiled lightly: "I hope that after reading the 'rearview mirror' today, you will be able to look at the windshield tomorrow and reopen the car." ”

After thinking about it, he added, "Because humanity needs people like you." ”

With that, tap your fingertips on the screen;

In milliseconds, Luo Lei's consciousness entered the linear timeline!
