Gu Tie waited for the bell to ring three times, knowing that there was no meaning to answer there, so he hung up with interest.

He was talking to the blonde and blue-eyed Belarusian beauty next to him just now, and he didn't have time to answer the old man's call, but the Boeing 787 plane of this Russian Airlines is estimated to be out of service, and it is bumpy like a rice threshing machine when it encounters turbulence.

At this time, the phone rang again, and in the sound of jubilant folk music, Gu Tie tried to pull out his arm from his seat belt and took out the big and bulky domestic mobile phone: "Hey?"

"Me. Where is it?" Xiao Liping asked angrily.

"I guess it's almost St. Petersburg. Gu Tie looked at the clouds outside the window uncertainly.

"What are you doing in Russia, slip away without saying hello, and have a convulsion. You can imagine Xiao Liping gritting his teeth over there.

"Go to Ukraine. Stopover in St. Petersburg. This broken flight takes thirteen and a half hours. ”

"Go to the place where the bird doesn't lay eggs and shoot wild ducks?!"

"Comrade Xiao, where do the wild ducks come from if the birds don't lay eggs? ”

Gu Tie hung up the phone, tilted his head and closed his eyes, activating the 'world' terminal chip injected in the medulla oblongata.

This gadget was originally designed to enter the game anytime and anywhere, but Gu Tie successfully discovered more of its potential, and after using the backdoor program of 'Genesis' to crack the chip to a certain extent, the chip can realize almost all the network functions of the 'Genesis' terminal.

Gu Tie had the idea of implanting a few wires in his bones and planting a satellite dish on his head, so that he could access the 'Genesis' network through satellites in places where there was no wireless signal or even the G** network that could not survive, but he gave up under Xiao Liping's strong contempt.

He himself thought it was trendy.

The blue "world" landing interface with intricate golden patterns unfolded in his sea of consciousness.

Gu Tie felt that the word "knowing the sea" for cultivating immortals explained the consciousness virtual screen technology very well.

At present, the 'Genesis' terminal accounts for about 65% of the global market, and the PC is gradually declining. The so-called terminal, that is, the data exchange equipment (wireless network signal modem) and input and output equipment (2D display, 3D projector, three-dimensional trackball, touch device, keyboard) composed of things, may be a thin LCD screen, or it may be an expensive immersive cabin, no matter what the form, do not have the function of off-network operation, 'Genesis' as a processor and memory at the other end of the network waiting for the task to be released, every day there are 8 billion terminals and quantum computers for massive data exchange.

In terms of user interface, running programs and accessing the network is no different from a traditional PC, but in essence, all the information is buried deep in the underground vault of Salzburg, and the user is only accessing a virtual shadow of the program, the website, knowledge and creativity.

Some say it's the most terrible monopoly, some say it's a time bomb for human information security, and organizations like the IPU ('Independent Computing Alliance') came into being, igniting anti-GTC fires around the world, and in two or three radical countries where the opponents control the regime, the government even announced a ban on the use of terminals in the country, isolating the national network from the Internet through layers of quantum encryption firewalls. -- For example, the destination of Gu Tie's trip, Ukraine.

Gu Tie used the backdoor program to pack and log in to the network, and the interface of the "world" disappeared, and around the bright red beating numbers, there was an endless black plain, which was a pure land opened up by him and the "apostles" of the betrayers in the "Book of Genesis", based on the backdoor program, where he could mobilize a maximum of 1500ppm computing power, which was an unpredictable force in the world.

He bent down, built a stone, and knocked it in the air, the space shattered like a mirror, and Gu Tie stepped into another world. This was their private discussion group, and it was here that he met Xiao Liping.

The theme here is Miami style, Xiao Liping is wearing huge sunglasses and lying on a beach chair, blowing the sea breeze.

Gu Tie frowned: "You only have a little shape on your face, the visibility of information is very low, and your arms are all square." What terminal do you use to access the Internet?"

Xiao Liping pouted: "It's still the terminal in the office, the result of the batch of government procurement 5 years ago, there was a camera and snickered." What the hell are you doing? The Quantum Angel Fund was handed over to the secretary?"

"Little Nizi is taking care of it. I'm going to do something fun. Gu Tie picked up a glass of margarita and smiled at the gorgeous bartender: "Your breasts are very beautiful, are you interested in going to the 'Sky Ball' group to continue chatting?"

"It's illegal to seduce NPCs, Mr. Pervert. The girl smiled charmingly.

"Damn. Gu Tie walked away in frustration and sat down beside Xiao Liping. "The people who built this group have water in their heads. ”

"You only have water in your head. Xiao Liping raised his square fist and smashed him

"When my airsickness is better, go to the next room and see my aesthetics. The Belarusian chick next to me just now vomited all over the world, and I almost didn't squirt with it. Gu Tie was powerless.

"Less nonsense, report your whereabouts." Matril, Lemuel, and Sakhir are all in the game, and we need a lot of time to explore the world of the 'world' and try to meet up as soon as possible. Xiao Liping stared at him.

"In the 'world' we are all small characters, and in a medieval fantasy setting where the means of communication are extremely backward, it is too difficult to meet. And, there's a terrible question I don't know if you've thought about it. ”

"What's the problem?"

"In the 'world', our game characters are all primitive personalities, and for the other society, we are possessed demons, and if we show peculiar behavior in front of the crowd, information that is not understood by the world, or even exist as a small group in connection with each other, we will be regarded as evil heresies, and will be severely attacked by the social order, and the hundreds of thousands of 'witches' who were hanged or burned in Europe and the New World in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are a lesson from the past. Can you imagine the two of us being stripped naked and nailed to a stake? It's not very beautiful. Gu Tie pouted.

Xiao Liping rubbed his chin with square fingers made of a few polygons, thinking, "In other words, every player who enters the 'world' must strictly abide by the rules of role-playing, and develop communication between players into an underground activity." ”

"A secret religion. Gu Tie corrected.

"On a dark and windy night, ghostly crowds gather in the city's sewers, and after many identity checks, they enter the empty council hall to listen to the information brought by the organizers and chat with each other:

'Hello, I'm Harlot, the carpenter's son, and my real identity is James, a ranch worker from Tennessee, what about you?'

'Hello, I'm Claude, pastor of the Holy Union, and my real identity is Anuri, a taxi driver from New Delhi, India. ’

Recently, the search has become more and more strict, and I am glad that I have escaped another search. ’

Yes, I worry every day of the world. Gu Tie imitated the nasal Southern accent and the Indian accent with a tongue-filled mouth, which made Xiao Li Ping amused.

"Then what is the point of the secret meeting of the Adventists, and what conspiracy can the carpenter's son and the parish priest have?" Xiao Liping asked after laughing enough.

"What is the meaning of millions of people entering the 'world', in order to play the carpenter's son and the pastor of the parish?" Gu Tie asked rhetorically.

"The dichotomy is meaningless if you just experience the same ordinary life with an identity different from the real world, but with the idea of starting a new life to experience the world that is as real as reality, the existence of the carpenter's son and the parish priest is meaning in itself. ”

"Self-actualization is not necessarily reflected in achievement. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Gu Tie took Margarita and drank it down, and stood up: "The plane has begun to descend, I'll contact you when I get back." I went to Ukraine at the invitation of a friend to help him steal something. ”

"Wait. Xiao Liping's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Don't say your friend's name is Barvindra Bishnoi." ”

"Did you hear the rumors from the IPU? Barr is a big talker, and I bet he doesn't even have an electromagnetic railgun. ”

"Gu Tie. Xiao Liping said solemnly, "If the purpose of your trip is the same as I imagined, then I clearly order you not to do stupid things, and immediately transfer back to China, otherwise I will use all means to escort you back." ”

"Comrade Islamafael, you are still a little cute when you are not official, don't let the bureaucracy ruin your pretty face. Gu Tie raised his eyebrows, "The Indians and his organization want to steal a very powerful thing, and they need to rely on my strength, but don't worry, they can't build a nuclear bomb, they just want to use a dirty bomb to disperse the crowd." ”

"Your destination is Chernobyl. Xiao Liping had a calm face.

"Barr has a plan, rest assured, there will be no danger, and I can log into the 'world' at any time when I'm not working. That's it, contact again, easy to get angry and grow old quickly. ”

"Wait, I ask you to contact me regularly every day, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Tie's figure flashed and he withdrew from the discussion group.

With a bang, the 24-inch monitor was smashed out of a big hole by the ashtray, flashing electric sparks, and the secretary pushed the door in a panic, shouting "Secretary Xiao, it's okay!" Xiao Liping stood behind the desk and glared at him: "It's okay, go out!" The secretary immediately nodded and retreated, closing the office door.

"What an ipu, what Chernobyl, nonsense!" Xiao Liping scolded angrily, turned around a few times, flicked the cigarette ash on his body, took a few deep breaths, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the golden ginkgo trees in the compound of the agency.
