Until the evening came, Gu Xiao was led back to his residence by Danifer, and he looked like he was lost and depressed.

Progress is often easy to accept, while regression is frustrating.

The black-clothed people who appeared around the arena at some point also retreated one after another when they saw this.

The last man in black made a phone call before leaving.

"Don't worry, it's completely solved. Next, all you need to do is send three people over at the World Games to make sure. ”

……

That night, rarely, Gu Xiao had insomnia.

He took out the newspaper again and read it carefully, looking at it word by word, as if he could read flowers in the newspaper.

There are words in the mouth.

"Withdrawal, bondage, freedom."

He had a dull pain in his right eye and hallucinations from time to time.

In the hallucination, he only felt that he was bound by chains and that he was not free.

"Bondage, freedom...... Bondage, freedom, ......"

He bowed his head and muttered to himself as if he was enchanted.

Until a long time, late at night.

Suddenly, he looked up.

A resolute light flashed in his right eye, and he made up his mind.

From that day on, Gu Xiao returned to the state of the previous eight days of crazy training.

This time, he didn't want Dannifer to time or replay the footage.

It's just running again and again, challenging again and again, and impacting the limits of this body again and again.

He has sighed more than once that every inch of muscle on this body seems to be tailor-made to break through the limit.

……

Fifteen days later, on the field of the World Games.

Gu Xiao straightened his body on the running aid and did his best.

Smack-

Gu Xiao rushed out like an arrow from a string.

He was speeding up, and the narrator's excited roar echoed in his ears, but he didn't seem to hear it at all.

It was as if he had entered a world of his own, in which there was only him and his beloved track.

He's getting faster and faster, outpacing all the athletes, but he's still not satisfied.

Inadequate! Inadequate! These are not enough! I also need to be faster!

The three men in black who were observing from the sidelines gradually noticed that something was wrong, they stopped chatting about the 'matrix', and even took off their sunglasses and paid full attention to Gu Xiao's game.

A man in black shouted in shock: "No! Wrong! He seems to be about to 'break through'! ”

Gu Xiao was running on the track, every time he stepped on the ground, he was as solid as a rock, and the time for each step to contact the ground was almost negligible.

As the thigh muscles delivered a rapid burst of power regardless of the loss, his speed became faster and faster.

Even faster than the last time.

Gu Xiao had already exerted the physical functions of this body to the extreme, and in this extreme speed, he felt the dawn of freedom, and he felt the loosening of the restraints.

Suddenly!

Running for a long time with an overload is not something that a normal human body can bear at all.

Gu Xiao felt a sharp pain like tearing in his thigh, causing him to almost fall on the track.

Another voice appeared in his head.

Give up, give up, isn't it enough now? You can complete all the missions except Mission 3, just relax a little, and it's nothing, you're still the World Games champion.

The audience also stood up and exclaimed.

But in the next second, no one could have imagined that Gu Xiao's willpower was so strong, he actually stiffened the sharp pain in his thighs, and continued to run wildly without deforming.

A sharp light gradually bloomed in his right eye, and a terrible roar came out of his mouth.

"It's not enough! I'm going to break free from all my bonds! In search of true freedom! Witness the real world! ”

His body, rushing out, seemed to have broken some shackles, and his whole body was relaxed.

At this moment when Gu Xiao was about to be relieved.

Suddenly! The mutation has happened again.

The hideous-looking man in black next to him completely gave up his superficial 'passable', threw his sunglasses on the ground and trampled them to pieces, and issued a cold command in his mouth.

"He can't wake up, he can't let him wake up."

In this world, this command is like a cold rule.

The moment the order was given, time froze completely.

The frozen time extended from the stands where the man in black was to the track, enveloping Gu Xiao.

Suddenly! The exclamating crowd, the passionate commentators, the referees who were nervously observing, and even Gu Xiao, who continued to run in pain, all froze in place.

This time and space was completely stopped by the man in black.

Behind Gu Xiao, the athletes who were originally chasing after me suddenly exploded and turned into flesh and blood fireworks one after another.

And in the next second, how these flesh and blood fireworks exploded and shrank back, reshaping into one human form after another.

Only this time, those figures are no longer athletes in sportswear, but men in black suits.

They stretched out their hands towards Gu Xiao, like chains reaching towards Gu Xiao, trying to pull Gu Xiao back into the abyss.

At this moment, a system prompt sound sounded in Gu Xiao's ears.

【Warning! Enter the battle level where you can use the five-player point talisman! 】

Gu Xiao chose to agree without hesitation.

At the same time, a point talisman shining with a faint yellow light appeared behind Gu Xiao, and five points of light flew out of the point talisman, turning into five bodies.

A corpse eater covered in green colonies - Dallas.

"Boss, watch me swallow these cubs!"

A gray-haired chef in a neat suit - Hannibal.

"Lord, allow me to present you with the best delicacy in the world."

A roaring taster, a charming flower demon.

The appearance of the five people behind him stopped the footsteps of the man in black.

And Gu Xiao, after being frozen, still looked forward unwillingly.

In his right eye, little by little, the dawn of freedom is blooming.

This dawn of freedom drove Gu Xiao to break through his limits again and move forward step by step.

Only then did he understand the meaning of the so-called 'beyond the limit' in Alena's intelligence.

Once again, he quickened his speed, faster than anyone else, even faster than some deliberately set human limit.

He finally surpassed his limit, and a little star appeared in his right eye.

There was wind under his feet, his body was constantly flickering because of his speed, and countless green codes floated out of Gu Xiao's rapid body.

Subsequently, the position of the end point generated countless green codes that were identical to those on Gu Xiao's body out of thin air.

The green codes are arranged and combined to form a portal.

This portal made of green code seems to have been there for thousands of years, and it has not changed for thousands of years, but only Gu Xiao can see it after he has surpassed the limit this time.

It seemed that Gu Xiao's presence had broken some barrier, and he rushed into the green code portal.

It was dark in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already missing the green grass and track and field track just now.

Instead, there is a blood-red world.

Countless mechanical tentacles extend from the limit visible in the ground to the limit visible in the sky, and from the mechanical tentacles grow one after another, and inside the cultivation tank are naked humans.

With their eyes closed, and a mechanical tentacle stuck in the back of their heads, these humans are immersed in a virtual space called the Matrix.

And their bodies have become the best batteries, countless tiny data cables extending from the cultivation tank, connecting to all parts of the human body, absorbing their energy and squeezing out the full value of their bodies.

The blood red that Gu Xiao saw was just the color of the culture medium.

It turns out that he is also one of those who are intoxicated in the 'matrix' space, but he has exceeded the limit, and he has 'broken through'.

He broke through the limitations of the Matrix, beyond the limits of human speed designed by the Matrix, so that he could open his eyes and see the real world.
