Chapter 162: Pure Land

Gu Tie didn't understand what was going on at first.He vaguely remembered that he had left the circular passage surrounded by Xiao Liping and Ah Qiwei, returned to the strange cube room, and opened a door—apparently one of the two or four doors—but his eyes were blindfolded at this time, and he couldn't see exactly what number of doors it was—and he walked into a long and winding passage. He continued to advance in the passage, and during this long, silent journey, the Chinese gradually lost their consciousness, and when they came to their senses, they saw a very familiar scene: the space of endless black earth and tumbling thunderclouds, which belonged to him "pure land".

"Why did you enter the network?" Standing in the middle of the Pure Land, Gu Tie scratched his head strangely. He retrieved the data log to flip through it, and found that something terrible must have happened to the quantum network, the data flowing in front of him seemed extremely disordered, and there was no logic at all, even Gu Tie couldn't find anything useful from this mess for a while. The connection with the outside world also created problems, he could not contact other people, he could not use the quantum network freely, it was like being trapped in the pure land by an invisible glass box, but the strange thing is that the network he has has not disappeared from time, and the defense layer formed by the quantum black spear is still impregnable, which is a paradoxical phenomenon at all. He can use the power of the network, but at the same time he can't enter the network, "It's obviously a paradox." The master of the Pure Land muttered to himself, grabbed a cloud and pinched it with his hand, and with the addition of 500ppm timing to the group of model elements, the space was obviously turbulent, and a slender and sharp spear gradually formed in Gu Tie's hand, "This is something that only Genesis can do, the network connection is normal, what is it obscured?" With a wave of his hand, he threw the golden spear into the sky, and the quantum spear shot into the clouds, and then disappeared into the quantum chaos on the periphery of the Pure Land, and the network connection was completely obscured by the chaos, and even such a powerful backtracking attack could not find its way.

When he was figuring his head around, the waterfall of data suddenly accelerated and tilted down, and the red numbers mixed in the green code formed a torrent, Gu Tie immediately saw that it was a dangerous report that the Pure Land had been invaded internally, "Damn, this is even more impossible, I am isolated by the quantum network, how can I be attacked by the internal data terminal?" With an angry roar in his mouth, Gu Tie opened his arms to intercept the waterfall, preparing to set up multiple firewalls in the inner layer of the Pure Land space data structure, but the situation was developing much faster than he imagined, and after just five units of time, the data flow had already broken through the internal defenses of the Pure Land, forcibly injecting five data packets into the process controlled by Gu Tie.

At this moment, Gu Tie thought of completely closing the Pure Land, or even destroying this space, but he immediately hesitated, as a senior quantum network user, he has dozens of independent virtual spaces in the "Genesis" network, and the complexity, precision and security of many spaces are not comparable to the Pure Land, but the Chinese have a soft spot for this place, because the Pure Land is the first secret base he has, the heaven-sent thing that inexplicably appeared in his network terminal after the wonderful accident at the age of nine. Until now, he has not figured out the data basis for the existence of the Pure Land, because it seems to exist independently of the entire quantum network and has extraordinary and hidden characteristics.

After a brief hesitation, unfamiliar data packets appeared in the Pure Land, and they quickly obtained three-dimensional models under the basic modeling rules of this space, and every figure was too familiar to Gu Tie, including the elder who had returned after a long absence. “...... Jonah?Pitchfork Squad?" If it was a character in the comic world, Gu Tie's eyes had already popped out of his sockets at this moment, "This is too nonsense, isn't it!" How can the characters in the 'world' appear in my pure land? This is not the scope of the 'world' server, it is the virtual space of the quantum network in reality! Doesn't the 'world' character come here to enter the network and exist like a network user?" he gasped, covered his mouth and let out an incomprehensible whimper, and then was stunned: " Wait, could this be the reason why the Pure Land has lost contact with the outside world? Isn't this not the regular scope of quantum networks, just a ...... Buffer?"

Seeing the astrologer standing not far away, this feeling made Gu Tie strange and inexplicable. For a long time, he and Jonah were two sides of the same body in the "world", sharing the body of a 17-year-old boy, and even if the soul gradually began to talk, it was only a brief exchange in the dark. He quickly analyzed everything in his mind, and could only come to the only conclusion: from the day he came into contact with the prophecy of the traitor Seglas Anonymous, the astrologer apprentice began to walk slowly but surely in this direction, everything was foreshadowed, finding the seven artifacts, breaking the walls and coming to the real world, this is the only task that Seglas gives the protagonist!

Gu Tie felt that his hands and feet were cold. He hid his body in the background of the "Pure Land" because he had not yet figured out how to meet Jonah. As a human actually living on the earth, Gu Tie was quite confused by the situation in front of him, he understood that Jonah, his partners in the pitchfork, and even the hundreds of millions of personalities in the "world" were not simple NPC threads, these people were real, living individuals with souls; Before he cleared his mind, he didn't plan to show up to meet Jonah, but just a few seconds later, another wave of data turbulence appeared, a thread from within brutally tore through the firewall of the Pure Land, tilting a massive amount of data in, which immediately changed the infrastructure of the virtual space, Gu Tie could feel that the Pure Land could not withstand such a scale of data density, and the outer space had begun to collapse, "God, what is this?" He suddenly scooped up a piece of black garbled and dismantled it, the density of the packet was amazingly large, and a metadata was released after twelve decompressions into a flood of fearful data, any one of which was filled with meaningless and chaotic information, as if a complete encyclopedia was broken, crumpled, and reduced to pulp. Compressed to a particle the size of dust, and then gathered hundreds of millions of particles to form a terrifying sandstorm, Gu Tie had never seen anything like this, this was no longer the scope of hacker attacks, and even exceeded the limit of any currently known quantum compression algorithm.

"No kidding...... "Although the sky and the earth in front of him are the same, the owner of the Pure Land knows that this is just the calm before the storm, and if the invisible hole is not blocked, this virtual space will soon be blown up by massive data, and the last buffer between the "world" and the quantum network will be gone. He quickly raised the network timing to the limit, using the array of Hilbert's black spear to launch an attack in the direction of the abnormal data gushing out, the two data forms strangled in the quantum space, and countless threads were snatching control of each other, blocking, anti-blocking, stealing, anti-stealing, deciphering, and anti-deciphering, this was a battle that Gu Tie had never experienced before, all the knowledge he had, The skills and network permissions seem to be so weak, even if all the network time is used, they can only barely compress the breakthrough of abnormal data to a quarter of the original size, and the terrifying tide of data from the "world" is still pouring in, and it is estimated with the most optimistic attitude that the "Pure Land" can last for a short minute.

Rather than this invisible battle, a visible battle in the Pure Land began at the same time. The moment the man who arrived with the black tide threw out Long Ji, Gu Tie clearly saw that those fifty-six black tentacles were hidden behind the body of the Oriental woman, and attacked the pitchfork team. Gu Tie immediately exclaimed: "Damn! It turns out that the one who controls the data Black Tide is Long Zunjun, and the true body of the Black Tide is the power of the Yagu Cursed Land, which is formed by the soul of the deceased, that is to say, these abnormal data are composed of personality threads that have been forcibly withdrawn from their original positions, no wonder they have an abnormal data density, and they are completely unpredictable, because these personalities are still alive in nature!" Then his eyes gleamed again:" Wait, Long Zunjun can eliminate the Pitchfork Squad without much effort, as long as he erases the data structure of the opponent's location, and he launches a frontal attack, proving that he only mastered the use of the Yagu Undead by mistake, without understanding the essence of this power. If you can kill him, it is equivalent to removing all the pointers of the data packets, and this invasion will naturally be ended...... There's still a chance!"

Gu Tie finally decided to meet Jonah. He did three things at the same time: first, he made a few salty exclamations to ridicule the inexplicable situation of the battle, second, he eliminated dozens of tentacles of Long Zunjun, and compared to the sparkling entanglement of the invisible battlefield, such a battle was just a child, and third, he appeared in front of Jonah.

The black tentacles that hit Jonah were scattered in the air, the quantum spear whizzed into the sky, and the figure of the Chinese slowly condensed in front of Jonah. “...... Enemy!" Xibi screamed and turned around and bent his bow and arrow, Gu Tie didn't look back, only waved his hand and said, "Don't make trouble, little grasshopper, I took care of you more when I was crossing the cherry crossing, can't you recognize me now?"

"Brush!" A silver light flew past Gu Tie's ear, and Sibi had already put the second long arrow on the bowstring, when Toba suddenly stretched out his big hand on her shoulder, and hesitated: "Wait! I feel that this unknown old man has a familiar smell, very similar to Lord Jonah, but it is a little different......

Jonah slowly looked up, his expression very flat, "...... Is that you, demon?"

"It's nice to call me the Adventist. Gu Tie sighed, "I didn't expect to meet in this situation." Do you know what this place is?"

The boy shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Gu Tiedao: "I know what kind of place this is, but I don't know why I and you are here." It was the strangest meeting ever, and we should never have the opportunity to speak face-to-face in our lifetime. It's not a good time to chat, we have one minute left to defeat Long Venerable,-oh, only forty-six seconds left. What are you still holding Long Ji for? The battle is about to begin. ”

Jonah said in a harsh voice, "She, she's ......"

"She's ten thousand times better than you, little ghost. Gu Tie raised his eyebrows. He had just quickly reviewed the data structure of the independent thread of Long Ji, and found that her quantum features were very complete, except that the input and output interfaces were blocked by a few abnormal packets. After an extremely simple removal operation, Gu Tie swept away all the shackles on Long Ji's body, which was not a chanting, magic, or evil way, but a scientific calculation in the quantum network.

“...... What?" Jonah looked down suddenly, and found a pair of deep, bright black eyes looking at him, and the distant eyes made him sink, just as he had seen at Cherry Ferry that day, the world was turned upside down, the voice was gone, and the soul was whirling and singing.

"Jonah. The Oriental woman sat up and said.

"Long Ji. The boy replied in a daze.

Ryuhime's gaze swept over each of her Pitchfork teammates, looking at the black wall that was rising higher and higher in the distance. "I see. She said, "Fight now!, and after that, I'll find Long Chang to make a break with him, and then, fulfill my promise to you, Jonah, and I won't forget every word I've ever said." ”

"Thirty-eight seconds left. It's almost enough, with my help, after all, this is my chassis. Gu Tie stood aside and interjected.

“...... Asai, no, the King of the Assassins, Simion Longchang, he's gone......" Jonah said with difficulty, cutting off a piece of flesh from his heart with every word, "He overdrew his abilities and disappeared under the Dragon Mansion, I'm sorry, I ......"

As if she hadn't heard this, the Oriental woman drew her short sword and cut her palm, letting the blood dye the gem a blurry deep purple.
