After returning to Lao K's room from the ovaries, Song Ziyu's heart was quite uneasy.

What I saw here really subverted my own thinking and concepts, and my emotions were greatly shocked.

"How? Do you believe what I say now?" Lao K looked at Song Ziyu, and his pale face showed an expression of insight into the world.

Song Ziyu nodded with a heavy heart, and then spoke: "It's even more terrifying than I imagined, it's really unbelievable."

"Now, are you interested in joining us?"

Old K asked again.

Song Ziyu did not answer this question directly, but asked, "What are you going to do?"

Song Ziyu thought deeply about this question.

These guys live in the underground world like bugs, relying on disguise and deception to evade Xihe's tracking, but that's about it.

After seeing Xihe's horror, Song Ziyu didn't think that these rabbles could do anything to hurt Xihe!

After all, that's a super life that has taken over the whole world.

Song Ziyu had no doubt that he could kill everyone here with a single move of his fingers...... Including yourself.

And the only thing you can do is blow up the portal and then protect your plane.

Speaking of this, Song Ziyu's heart is also pessimistic.

With the coordinates already leaked, Song Ziyu knew very well that even if he blew up the portal, it would be useless to a large extent.

Even if there is no teleportation, Xihe can still continue to send people to explore his plane.

The resources there are too abundant, it is impossible not to plunder!

This is also where Song Ziyu's inner entanglement lies.

Therefore, Song Ziyu was very curious, curious about how these guys, who were not even as good as themselves, were going to defeat or even destroy Xihe.

"I have to say, you asked a good question." Old K muttered, "How are we going to fight...... Before I answer that question, I would like to ask you a question of detail."

"You ask! No need to go around in circles." Song Ziyu felt that this old guy was incoherent and incoherent, and his head was really cracked.

Old K feels good about himself and has a lot of fun.

"Mr. Song, have you ever thought about a question, are the human brains that Xihe used as a computing power reserve and internal storage, are they alive or dead?"

"This ......"

Song Ziyu was stunned, this was a question he hadn't thought about at all.

"Probably alive."

Song Ziyu thought about it and gave the answer he guessed.

"Correct!"

Old K smiled, "It seems that Mr. Song is also a very smart person."

"Don't put a high hat on me, get to the point!"

Song Ziyu said.

"In order to be a qualified memory and computing machine, these brains must be active, in other words, these brains are living creatures."

"It's crazy that people are dead, but the brains are still alive." Song Ziyu sighed.

"Who isn't! The world itself is crazy."

Lao K said: "These brains are all living creatures, which involves another question, Mr. Song, have you ever wondered if those brains still retain their own consciousness?"

"This ......"

Song Ziyu was numb, this had already involved metaphysical issues, and he couldn't even think of a direction he dared to think of.

Old K continued, "If the brain has an independent sense of self, then the owners of these brains, will they not know that they are dead?"

Song Ziyu stroked his hair, feeling that his head was about to explode, and Lao K seemed to be stunned, staring at himself and still chattering: "If these brains have independent consciousness, where are these consciousnesses when the brains are requisitioned?"

"I don't know!"

Song Ziyu exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then spread his hands

, which can be regarded as a surrender.

"Tell me the answer! Don't torture me."

Song Ziyu looked at Lao K.

Old K put away his mysterious smile and said in a serious tone, "I know everything you don't know, let me tell you now!"

"Don't sell it, say it!" Song Ziyu felt that chatting with Lao K was a pain, because this old guy's thinking and speech order were infinately slow.

But Lao K's answer was relatively straightforward.

"Trees for a hundred years, all the people whose brains have been requisitioned, their consciousness still exists!" Lao K's words are a bit earth-shattering.

"Still exists? How is that possible?" Song Ziyu was dumbfounded.

"In order to ensure the activity of the brain, Xihe must ensure the existence of consciousness, in order to achieve this way, Xihe established a separate universe, and then put everyone's consciousness into it, and those unconscious consciousnesses live in the virtual universe that has been opened up!"

Old K said, "I'm willing to call it the metaverse."

"The metaverse? Xihe and the metaverse? How do you know that?" Song Ziyu was surprised.

"What? Do you still know about the metaverse?"

Now it was the turn of the old K to be shocked.

As a person who has come from the era of civilization, Song Ziyu has heard of the concept of the metaverse for a long time.

The concept of the metaverse was first coined by science fiction writer Neil Stevenson in his book Snow Crash.

In it, the author describes a virtual world parallel to the real world, in which all people can freely explore, create, and interact.

At the peak of social development, the metaverse has become an aggregation of computer technology, network technology, virtual reality technology, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other technologies.

Unfortunately, the concept has not yet had time to mature in the market, and it has been lamented by the collapse of human civilization.

I never expected it!

What human civilization has not been able to do in the end, Xi and this computer actually made it.

I don't know what it is.

Song Ziyu thought for a while and said to Lao K, "How do you know this? Have you ever been to this metaverse?"

"Of course!"

Old K said in a very firm tone, "Don't forget, I'm a prison escapee, and I have seen all those things with my own eyes."

"Let's talk about it, what does your plan have to do with this metaverse?" Song Ziyu asked.

"Of course there is, and it's huge!" Lao K explained: "The metaverse is directly linked to Xihe's memory and computing power, and our strategy is to send people into the metaverse and then try their best to destroy it in the metaverse."

Hearing this, Song Ziyu really shook his head: "I don't quite understand, is this useful? What impact can you have on the real world by wreaking havoc in the virtual world?"

"Of course there is!"

Lao K said: "As I just said, the metaverse is a computing center and storage center that directly links Xihe, although the virtual world is virtual, but the good computing power under the construction of the virtual world is real!"
