The sound of the crashing waves was heard, and a rotting stench permeated the surroundings.

Plunged into eternal night again, Ning Yuan did not fall into eternal darkness like last time, in front of his eyes, there was a fog.

Lowering his head, Ning Yuan saw the sand stuck to his shoes, he grabbed a handful and examined it carefully, and found that this was ordinary sand.

With the smell of sea water.

A brilliant aurora gushed out from the sky, illuminating Ning Yuan's path ahead.

In the haze in the distance, a behemoth can be faintly seen in the seawater, waving its tentacles.

That's ...... The King of the Eternal Night?

He silently recited the name of the eternal night, stepped on the sand, and walked forward.

With each step, the smell of decay became stronger, and there was a faint murmur around them.

“…… Azkaya's ...... Strength...... Floating ......"

"Yulucar...... Frost ...... Army...... Already crossed the Dark Realm......"

"We...... The Humble Ghost ...... Follow dead leaves and bones...... ...... other side"

"No...... What...... The other side! …… Only...... Eternity...... The darkness! ”

"Call...... Call ......"

Immediately after, it was a sentence that Ning Yuan couldn't understand no matter what, and it didn't seem to be a sentence that ordinary people could understand.

Following the guidance of the aurora, Ning Yuan walked all the way.

The sound of the waves grew clearer and clearer, and he heard the chirping of some kind of seabird.

In a short time, he arrived at the sea.

At the seaside, he felt brighter than he had ever been, and that this brightness did not come from the light source, but from the contrast.

The water here is as dark as it can absorb any light, which brings out the brightness of the beach.

Although the beach is also dark, next to the sea, it turns into light.

Ning Yuan continued to move forward, he was going to step on the waves and walk to the side of the eternal night.

"Stop, Ning Yuan, your road ahead is not there."

A voice came, and Ning Yuan followed the sound and saw Brand's figure.

He had one foot on the waves, the other on the sand.

He...... Stood between light and darkness.

Beside Brand, in the dark water, there was a faint figure, small and thin, it seemed to be a girl, and on her arm, there was a brilliant golden lotus.

"Brand, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Hmm." Brand smiled and said, "This is my daughter Karen, and I thank you for being with her. ”

"I guessed, you are very blessed to have such a beautiful daughter." Ning Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "For her, you have made me miserable." ”

"All I can say is sorry for this." Brand bent down and solemnly bowed to Ning Yuan: "I solemnly apologize to you." ”

"Haha, you tricked me and then saved me, let's settle it." Ning Yuan shook his head with a smile and looked around: "Since we are trapped in this place, is there any way we can go back?" ”

"My daughter and I have become part of the eternal night and can't go back, but you're different, you're still alive."

"Original...... So. Ning Yuan stared at the giant object in the distance and asked, "Isn't there a way to let you go back?" ”

"Haha, Ning Yuan, you are really...... Larger than life. Brand lowered his head and said with emotion: "I grew up in the lower district of Brawell, which is full of wildness, violence, disorder, and the darkness of the human heart, as a police detective, I have long been used to seeing all this, but I have never seen a person like you. ”

"Yes, I received nine years of compulsory education." Ning Yuan said with some pride.

"Compulsory education...... The term hasn't been used in the Federation for years, and you grew up in those welfare facilities. Bravel sighed: "I admire those people, obviously they don't have much money, but they desperately want to run free civilian education, without them, the world would have been rotten a long time ago." ”

"You're right." Ning Yuan smiled, and then looked at the dividing line between the sea and the beach: "However, there is really no way to go back?" ”

"This is the biggest difference between you and us, and it is also what I admire about you, you have hope, but hope for this thing, which has always been scarce and cheap." Brand smiled and said, "Let's end the chat, and finally, my daughter Karen and I will give you a gift." ”

"Gifts?"

"Just make it up, I owe you a lot." Brand patted Kalian on the shoulder next to him and said, "My daughter, don't look at her young age, but she is a real doctor of information engineering." ”

"Awesome." Ning Yuan looked at Kalian and sighed sincerely.

Information Engineering ...... Although it is not mechanical engineering, the professional attributes are intertwined.

It seems that Karen is getting closer to her dream.

It's a pity that all this was destroyed by the Demon Cave Military Industry.

"She told me that your current chip algorithm is flawed, and that algorithm can only make you stuck on the border between people and the ancient gods." Brand pointed to the behemoth in the distance and said, "You lack the internal data of the King of the Eternal Night. ”

"I see." Ning Yuan nodded.

"But if you want to observe the eternal night, you must step into this sea, but if you do step into this sea, you will never go back." Brand stared into the sky and said, "So I'm standing here." ”

Ning Yuan was shocked: "Are you waiting for me?" ”

"Yes, you have also accepted essentia, and you will have to come sooner or later." Brand said, "I owe David Brand to a lot of people, but I don't want to owe you. ”

Ning Yuan looked at Brand's resolute face: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, we can only let you go back, but ......"

Brand paused and said solemnly, "But since you stepped here, the King of the Eternal Night has remembered your breath, and sooner or later you will be pulled by him, and we can't solve this point." ”

"Got it, but I still have to thank you, you've done enough."

"Then, you take it, this is the last thing my daughter and I want."

"Wait." Ning Yuan stopped Brand: "I got your daughter's arm, as well as some of your fragments, I want to take you out and make a well-dressed grave or something, where do you want to be buried?" ”

"Where are you buried...... Bland looked at Ning Yuan in a daze, and laughed out loud after a moment: "You are really...... Haha, you can sell it for money, my daughter's arm is worth a lot of money. ”

"You're sick, I can't do that kind of thing."

"Okay, you just throw it in the bottomless abyss in the lower district, we people in the lower district, crawl out of the dark abyss, yearning for prosperity and wealth, die, we have to return to the abyss."

"Okay." Ning Yuan nodded, and didn't ask much what the abyss was, he would know these things when he got outside.

"So, you have this data!"

Ning Yuan suddenly felt a huge amount of data rush into his mind, and these data were mixed with a large amount of memories.

Brand 's memories, Karen's memories, they burned in Ning Yuan's mind like sporadic wildfires, and it took a while for Ning Yuan to get used to it.

These memories passed through his brain and eventually turned into the chip's driving algorithm.

"The chip driver has been updated...... Algorithm: David Karene Brand loaded, Styx of the Eternal Night activated. ”

Looking at this line of words that suddenly appeared, Ning Yuan suddenly understood what David Brand and his daughter had paid.

With the help of the power of Eternal Night, they burned all their sanity and turned it into an algorithm on Ning Yuan's chip.

The feeling of my heart being pounded again came back.

“…… Cardiac pacing......"

“…… Cardiac pacing success ......"

“…… Artificial lung tablets start ......"

“…… Blood oxygen interaction began to ......"

“……”

"Artificial prosthetic eye activation."

Ning Yuan opened his eyes and saw Robert limping towards him.

At this moment, Robert was surrounded by fine thunderbolts, like a female thunder god.

With a flick of his arm, countless inky liquids precipitated out of his body and condensed into several huge tentacles, which twisted together to form a huge fist and slammed into Robert's body.

Robert's expression was so frightened that she instantly transformed into a lightning bolt to dodge the blow.

However, when the tentacles came in front of her, they suddenly spread out, wrapping Robert around him, and suddenly the sound of a giant beast chewing was incessant.

"Ning Yuan, you succeeded!" Stewart's voice of surprise came: "I thought you were dead just now. ”

"yes, I died, but I was pushed back by Brand's goods."

Ning Yuan smiled, stood up, and looked at Robert condescendingly: "Miss Robert, weren't you very good just now, why, can't you stand up?" ”

"Huh...... Unexpectedly, you have reached the ideal realm of essentia chips. Robert spurted out a mouthful of blood: "The Demon Cave Military Industry will not let you go." ”

"Did you forget something?" Ning Yuan grinned, trying to make a demonic smile: "That neutron bomb from the incinerator is about to explode!" When the time comes, everyone in this facility will die, and no one will remember me. ”

"What did you say!" Robert's pupils dilated suddenly, and then he whispered, "Overload energy...... It's time to serve the Devil's Cave Military Industry......"

The lights around him began to flicker frequently, and then instantly disillusioned, leaving only countless wide thunderbolts in the entire room.

These thunderbolts struck Robert, making the blue light on her body more and more powerful, and instantly disintegrating the tentacles around her.

"You're underestimating me, an A-class ability!"

Accompanied by the shrill sound of electricity, Robert's irritable voice came: "Isn't it just that you have gained some strange powers!" For a person like you, the old lady has killed not a thousand, but eight hundred! ”

Looking at Robert's escape, Ning Yuan did not have a shocked look on his face, it was a top-notch ability, and it was normal that he couldn't beat it.

"Yes, yes, you are great." Ning Yuan laughed a few times and said, "But sister, this is not a turn-based game, your habit of talking in battle has to be changed, arrogance, but it is a taboo in battle." ”

"What?"

"Bye-bye!"

Ning Yuan's feathers flickered around him, and he disappeared in place in an instant.

At the moment of his disappearance, the gravitational core of the incinerator could no longer hold on, freeing the neutrons in the bound state.

These torrents of neutrons blasted through the facility like wild horses, then bounced back and forth at the phase-coating on the facility's outer walls, bursting with brilliant light.

Neutron bomb, exploded.

……

"It's so hanging, but if it's slow, we'll be buried in the neutron torrent." Ning Yuan gasped and said.

"The real danger is that we don't have redundancy at all, but fortunately, the bus bandwidth is enough, and you don't miss arms and legs." Stewart sighed, "I survived." ”

"yes, survived." Ning Yuan raised his head and looked around.

Neon lights permeate the jungle of reinforced concrete buildings, high-saturation RGB pollutes the high-rise buildings, bright yellow and bright red are intertwined, blue and purple embellishments, giving the whole city a dreamy coat.

Thousands of skyscrapers hold up a heavy iron curtain that covers the sky.

Countless floating cars are like bugs that travel through the fog between the buildings, rushing to their respective destinations.

High-rise buildings, full of neon, covering the sky and the sun, not seeing the sky.

The lanterns and mansions are dazzling, and the frost and mist are full of gilding.

Well, that's cyberpunk!

Some memory fragments flashed through his mind, and Ning Yuan was born with some realizations: "This is the lower district of Brawell." ”

When Ning Yuan sighed, Stewart's frightened voice came.

“…… What's going on? …… Oh my God! He is in the network...... Yes! ”

Listening to Stewart's screams of pain, Ning Yuan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" What happened? ”

"Ahh Stuart screamed, and then said anxiously, "Ning Yuan, Holy Spirit...... Heavenly Holy Spirit, He is in the web! How could He be ...... in this place?"

The Holy Spirit of Heaven?

This is...... Ning Yuan's expression became extremely shocked: "What did you say? You say that the old god...... Is He in the Network? ”

"Yes, that's right, He's in the network...... I'm going to be pulled away by Him! ......" Stewart said, and fell silent.

"How could he be in the network?"

"Gary! What happened to you? ”

"What's going on?"

"Gary! You hold on! ”

Ning Yuan said nervously, but no matter how he shouted, Stewart didn't respond.

There was silence in the air, as if she had never existed.

After a long time, Stewart's voice sounded faintly: "Ning Yuan, restore your ability as soon as possible......"

"And ...... Don't go into the depths of the network......"

With that, Stewart fell completely silent, and no more signal came out.
