The Origin Space is very vast, and countless houses made of blocks are lined up in a colorful pixel world.

Tang Yan saw that Gu Shun also took action, and hurriedly followed, "Big brother, I will hand it over to you to command, you say to the east, I will never go west, you can take me." ”

Tang Yan, this guy, although his ability is not good, but his ability to observe words and emotions and hug his thighs is very good.

Gu Shun took off the amulet that Mr. Shi had left for him around his neck and handed it to him, "Take this and follow me." ”

After observing the surrounding environment in general, Gu Shun decided to take a look inside the nearby building first.

So the two of them left the initial teleportation point of the origin space one after the other, and walked towards a mosaic-style building.

The exterior wall of the building looms with a sign of Meta City University, and the sculpture in front of the building is a tall tower standing in a wheat field, the symbol of the former city-state of Meta City.

After entering the building, Tang Yan found that there were already many treasure hunters inside the building.

He approached a trash can at the door, looked inside for a long time, and said:

"Big brother, do you think the source code will be hidden in this kind of place, in case that Stephen has some special fetish?"

Gu Shun looked around unhurriedly, ostensibly checking the surrounding environment, but in fact secretly observing the movements of the employees of Company M.

These people from Company M are searching the building in an orderly manner, and there are many detectives in the crowd and players who are at the top of the search game charts.

Using countless top-notch equipment and detection instruments, they sifted through every inch of the place they passed as if they were archaeological.

Gu Shun turned his gaze to the side again, the layout of this building was obviously a teaching building.

Each semi-circular lecture hall was littered with countless textbooks and notes full of strange symbols, and on the walls on either side of the classroom, a portrait of Stevenham hung every short distance.

At the moment, many players are scrambling these books and notes, and there may be some clues on them.

Tang Yan also wanted to grab it, but just a few steps away, he was pulled back by Gu Shun by the collar.

Gu Shun observed for a while, then took Tang Yan out of the teaching building, and went around several other adjacent buildings, which had libraries, dormitories, and restaurants.

Looks like it's a university.

In the end, Gu Shun sat directly on the square lawn of the playground and said:

"What do you think this source code will be, whether it's a QR code, or a Rubik's cube, or a key to the spiritual realm, or just an initial piece of character to write a program."

Tang Yan was confused by Gu Shundong's words, "This Mr. Shi hasn't said it either, but if you find it, the system should have a prompt, big brother, where are we going next?" ”

"I'm not going anywhere, just sitting here." Gu Shun glanced at the talisman hanging around Tang Yan's neck.

"Pendulum? What to put on? Is it that the source code needs to be put up a ladder on top of this? ”

"Rotten." Gu Shun said as if he had nothing to do with himself.

"Big brother, I rely on you, we finally entered the origin space, and I still hope that you can find the source code and take me fly." Tang Yan said a little anxiously.

Gu Shun looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he said mysteriously: "Do you remember what Mr. Shi said, the origin space is a mirror world, and no one can enter it." ”

"Are you saying that this is not the real Origin Space, and we have all been deceived?" Tang Yan was surprised.

"Do you think that if this origin space can only be accessed through channels controlled by Company M, then this source code has not been held by Company M through various means in the first place.

So what is the purpose of Strephen's hard work, he wanted to get the spirit world out of control, so he created the source code. ”

Tang Yan heard Gu Shun's assumption and said incredulously: "If what you said is true, big brother, then where is the real origin space?" ”

"Since it's the initial world, what is the game called the first metaverse?" Gu Shun prompted.

"Heeran, you're saying that the source code is hidden in Hiran, and that this space of origin is nothing more than a scam by Stephen." Tang Yan suddenly realized.

Gu Shun did not affirm or deny it.

Tang Yan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and said excitedly: "Big brother, if we inform everyone in the camp, hurry up and go to Xilang to find it, maybe there will really be a harvest." ”

Gu Shun patted him on the shoulder and said, "You go first, I'll be there later." ”

Tang Yan nodded obediently and quickly teleported out of this origin space. It wasn't until he completely disappeared that Gu Shun's original smile instantly became cold.

In front of Gu Shun's eyes, in the field of vision certified by the authority of Company M, Tang Yan's head was also marked with the logo of Company M.

Gu Shun felt that Tang Yan's appearance was too strange from the beginning, maybe from the moment he entered Shangcheng, everything began.

First of all, Gu Shunli used the permission of the hacker camp and Company M to find the database of the Xilang Challenge, and in the Xilang Challenge, Tang Yan's records were deliberately deleted a lot, leaving only the most recent records.

In the standings of historical competitions, Tang Yan has won the ranking of the points competition many times, and it is obvious that he is loading vegetables.

In addition, there are many other things that make sense.

For example, everyone in Uptown will have a realistic chip, and the access port behind the ear is an obvious distinguishing feature. When he first entered the upper city, he didn't have this port, but he was able to pass by the mechanical warrior unharmed.

At that time, Gu Shun thought that he was good at cross-dressing and could deceive the eyes of the mechanical warriors.

However, in fact, with the deepening of the understanding of Shangcheng, Shangcheng's judgment of citizens does not rely on specific images or costumes, but only relies on the identity information on the realistic chip for identification.

His identity and authority at that time had been blocked, but the mechanical warrior didn't find out, and it may not be a coincidence behind this luck.

Moreover, whether it is the game hall challenge deliberately hinted at by the streets and alleys, or Tang Yan's deliberate approach to him many times during the Xilang Challenge.

All the seemingly logical coincidences led him to Mr. Shi, who in turn used the news that the gypsy woman and himself was a descendant of Striffen to cooperate with him.

Behind this should be Mr. Shi, or Company M, hoping to obtain the source code with its own hands.

And what they didn't expect was that they missed a small person, Ma Zude, who became the turning point for Gu Shun to see through everything.

He didn't fully trust Mr. Shi from the beginning, so he secretly bypassed Mr. Shi's identity and secretly cultivated his power in Shangcheng.

As for taking the opportunity to support Tang Yan and give him the talisman as well, it was just a prudent move by him to prevent being monitored and eavesdropped, and that talisman was a monitor.

After Tang Yan teleported away, Gu Shun immediately contacted his subordinates in the Origin Space and asked them to do their best to find something about reality in the Origin Space.

According to some of the clues revealed by Shi Zhou, Shi Difen's attitude towards the spiritual realm is quite subtle.

He changed his previous idea of making the metaverse a world completely identical to reality, and instead turned the spiritual realm into a highly playable world.

It is hoped that this will break the dependence and addiction of the people of Shangcheng on the spiritual realm.

His original intention of setting up this origin space must also have something to do with this.

Stevens didn't want the spiritual world to replace reality, but he wanted reality to dominate the spiritual realm.

If you think about it from this perspective, anything related to reality has the potential to be a clue to finding the source code.

In the face of Gu Shun's orders, although the subordinates of these camps expressed doubts, they still fulfilled Gu Shun's orders very faithfully, looking for "reality" in the origin space.

On the other side, Gu Shun got in touch with the hacker camp and asked them to spread many rumors in the Spirit Realm World that the Origin Space might be hidden in the Xirang World, confusing the public and disrupting Company M's plans.

Soon, many of the subordinates in the camp found a lot of photos of Stevens in this square pixel space.

These photos are scattered all over the space, and the photos are quite realistic, and even somewhat contrary to the painting style of the space.

Previously, many treasure hunters in the space had found these photos, but after examining them, they found that they were just ordinary photos and ignored them.

Gu Shun noticed these photos when he was walking around with Tang Yan just now, but at that time, in order not to startle the snake, Gu Shun did not look at these photos carefully.

Now, Gu Shun stared at these photos for a long time, thinking secretly in his heart.

In a low-resolution and humble space, a large number of these identical photos must be trying to tell us something.

Gu Shun suddenly thought of something, picked up a photo and put it near the transcription port behind his ears that didn't exist.

I saw that the moment the photo touched the ear, it mechanically contracted and folded, turning into a square piece the size of a realistic chip.

Gu Shun's eyes suddenly fell into darkness.

When the light came back on, his body suddenly appeared in what looked like a dormitory.
