Bartmoss is the god of data and the god of hackers, completely inheriting the characteristics of low emotional intelligence of programmers, and is very direct when talking about things, and he doesn't know how to greet the guests for a meal or something after the conversation.

As soon as the cooperation agreement was reached, he said that he still had a few "world upgrade patches" to be busy compiling, and he slipped away first and hung a group of invited distinguished guests here.

I really can't be a man.

But fortunately, the people who were invited here were very ordinary, and everyone did not have time to grind over such trivial matters, and after Bartmoss left, everyone also left the table.

"It's too risky, Bruce!"

Wonder Woman complained to the silent lord:

"You can't decide for yourself to get a host server that sounds dangerous in our world, you should at least go back and talk to everyone."

"Lady Diana, you didn't really understand what Buttermoss meant by 'Mikoshi Project,' did you?"

Barbara whispered a question next to her, causing the heroine's cheeks to flush slightly.

I can't help it.

High-tech or something is really not her field of expertise as a demigod with the god of war, and it must be very suitable for her to go to the cyber arena to single-handedly fight a hundred cyber neuropaths, but it is really not easy to figure out this kind of thing related to the retreat of the world in a short time.

But Wonder Woman is a very proud hero.

She had inherited the fine traditions of the Greek gods, and she would also point to the entire Night City beneath the tower, and say to the Batgirl who tried to explain the plan to her:

"No matter what, I won't allow my world to fall into what it is! If Buttermoss's plan was to trap our consciousness and our people in such a virtual cage after our defeat, then I would never have agreed. ”

"Night City is a terrible sight to you because it was rotten before it was destroyed."

Mason next to him couldn't help but remind:

"The overall development of the world in 2077 is a 'crooked' civilization, Diana, the lifeless backwater of the world in front of you is not caused by the Divine Opinion Project, their civilization has reached a dead end before the end of the world.

But ours didn't.

You should have a little confidence in your world.

Even if the Mikoshi Project, which is the last resort, is carried out, our world will complete the 'data ascension' before the end comes, and their performance in cyberspace will definitely be more than 100 times stronger than the city in front of you.

Take a step back and say, even if you don't believe me and Barbara, you should have some confidence in Bruce's ethics in this regard, and if he can agree to this plan, it means that he must have thought about the cause and effect. ”

"That's right"

Wonder Woman pouted.

She glanced at the old man, who gave her a look of "go back to the watchtower to talk about it, it's not safe here" to stabilize Diana's stubborn mind at some point.

"Why don't you go back first? I still have some 'personal matters' to attend to here. ”

Mason stood at the highest point in Night City and lit himself a cigarette.

Although she entered this data world in a conscious way, Miss Huazi said that the realism here has been 100% obtained by Buttermoss, so Mason can still enjoy tobacco.

Surrounded by Harley and Quinn, he said to the crowd in front of him:

"It won't be delayed too long, and you don't have to worry about my safety, I have the most powerful mercenary in the world to protect me."

"Hmm."

The old man didn't bother, and took Diana up to the floating car in front of him, and returned to the hall of the data interaction point, where he exited the cyberspace.

Green Goblin and John Wick weren't in a hurry, they both had their own goals in place and didn't mind taking a look around Night City and checking out the local customs.

Barbara returned to the Tower of Data behind her, intending to learn a little bit from the "God of Hackers" before the war with the Stars began.

When a hacker rarely encounters a "grandfather", the Buttermoss in front of him is a real boss who can rely on a self-made virus to tear up the old net in the era of keyboard and mouse, and if you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

The group of people just now was left with only Mason and his two cuties, but he chose to stay here definitely not because he wanted to play some "little games" with the two cuties that could not be played in the material world, although Harley and Quinn were looking forward to it, but Mason had to finish his business first.

He glanced at the cuties, and the two girls who were exactly the same but had different personalities joined hands and entered the float car to wait.

Mason waved his hand to V, who was sitting at the edge of the data tower in a daze not far away, and then stood at the highest point of the night city with a smoke ring, in the midst of a blue sky and white clouds, he closed his eyes and blew the wind of realistic data, and said to his side:

"Come out, you should be able to appear as a physical entity in this place, right?"

"Huh"

A piece of data generates garbled characters out of thin air, and in self-adjustment, it forms the figure of Consus.

This time, the Isu ghost no longer appears in the form of a projection, relying on the "magical reaction" generated by the interaction between the Isu Shroud and the cyberspace, so that he, the Isu who only has only biological consciousness left, can also generate entities in the virtual world through data reconstruction.

But this is a very dangerous behavior!

The "unreal" of cyberspace is the equivalent of the material world, and for the Isu like Consus, who have completed soul coding, the data world is the "real world" for them.

Because their current form of existence can also be understood as a specially encoded data character, if he were stabbed to death by Mason here, it would mean that the biological consciousness stored by Consus in the Isu Shroud would also be severely damaged.

"Ah, the wind."

Dressed in white Isu robes and dressed very religiously, Consus and Mason stood together, his eyes closed and his arms open to feel the oncoming wind.

Dressed in an Isu drag, he let his robes flutter in the wind, and even his long black hair was blown up, and his gentle and majestic face showed a rare hint of relaxation.

Consus looked down at his left hand, and at the fingers, which were paler and more slender than ordinary humans, and he whispered:

"Buttermos has created a world of wonders that even 70,000 years ago, our photonic computers could not have compiled such a realistic, so complete and so large data world.

We can only make memories and scenes concrete, but we can't maintain them for a long time.

But it's alive in front of you, Mason.

It is evolving itself, evolving itself, and given enough time, it will eventually grow into a special plane that is no different from the material world.

Perhaps, we were on the wrong track in our struggle to survive.

If we had thought of this way to continue our existence, perhaps we wouldn't have to have this awkward conversation today. ”

"Why feel embarrassed?"

Mason spat out the smoke ring, and then, very undecenimously, flicked the cigarette butt out of his hand, and watched it fly away in the wind, he glanced at Consus, and said:

"If you hadn't asked me to do something for you that would have made me feel bad, it wouldn't have been awkward in our relationship, you know, I've come to see you as a trusted friend, just as you've always called me 'brother.'"

Even if you knew from the beginning, I was not the Hephaestus you remembered.

I will never be Hephaestus either. ”

"It's just hard to talk about."

Consus smiled.

He straightened the ribbon of his robe on his shoulder, was silent for a moment, and then said to Mason:

"Mister Hat's warning to you is correct, I have been trying to help you for nothing else, my intentions are not pure, I am a rather selfish Isu compared to what you have done for many worlds.

I know, Mason, that though you're a mixed Isu, you don't really like us.

In your heart, you feel that the Isu who hide their blood in human history to avoid catastrophe and seek rebirth in a future era of peace are a bunch of 'vampires' and 'parasites'.

Although you and Kassandra have not communicated much, I believe that the two of you share common ideas and ideas, and if given the opportunity, you will definitely choose to permanently separate the influence of the Isu from the human blood of that world.

And that's exactly what I'm worried about. ”

He looked at Mason and said with a hint of pleading:

"You now have the ability, and with your astonishing alchemy skills and in-depth knowledge of art and biotechnology, given enough time, you will be able to craft the tools that will wipe out the last vestiges of the Isu civilization once and for all.

I know that's a bit excessive.

But Mason, I pray for you

I pray that you will show mercy to my people when you return to the Isu world. ”

Consus's words silenced Mason for a moment, and he shook his head and said:

"You're thinking too badly, Consus.

Although you chose to strengthen humanity 70,000 years ago for the survival of your own civilization, you only used humanity as a 'mission tool' to survive the disaster, and this starting point is not noble.

But the truth is that without the knowledge, power, and ancient artifacts you have left behind, they would not have been able to escape the poison of the Stars with the power system of the Isu world.

The aurora system left behind by Athena and Hephaestus still protects that world to this day.

It's not that you didn't participate in this confrontation, and although it wasn't voluntary for you, you're all adults, and you have to learn to look at things in a discreet way.

Rest assured.

I have no intention of interfering with the entanglement of Isu civilization in that world and human civilization and its future end, and I believe that Wick and they will be able to find a way to coexist with you at some point in the future without my help.

Maybe the Isu civilization could regain its glory in the next era after more than 70,000 years of silence, and seriously, I'm looking forward to that scene.

The coexistence of two civilizations is the most significant civilization characteristic of that world, and without the glory of you legendary people, the Isu world would be a mediocre C-class world. ”

Speaking of this, Mason squeezed his eyes.

He turned back and patted Consus on the shoulder, and whispered:

"Looking at your serious look just now, I thought you were going to tell me something important, but that's it? It's not once or twice that you've faced a strong enemy with me, Consus, do you think I'm really the kind of person who will get himself in trouble? ”

"You don't think you're not, but in fact you know what everyone knows."

Consus finally relented, and the Isu teased and laughed heartily in the wind, but when he had finished laughing, he put his hand on Mason's shoulder with a serious expression, and whispered to him:

"I did hide some very important information, my brother, about the access code of the Aurora systemWith that thing, Xiao Shan's cosmic treadmill can bypass the blockade of the Aurora system and accurately lock the coordinates of the Isu world.

I didn't tell you this before because of your status as a member of the Stars Society, and you don't have the tools to make lasting connections, but now that Brainiac has the Plane Sign, all the conditions are ripe!

After we go back to the material world, I promise!

In a maximum of 24 hours, you will be able to re-enter the land of your other homeland. ”

"Well, that's the real good news!"

Mason's eyes lit up, thinking of Sister Ka's fierce combat effectiveness of the two big mentors who could beat both of them, and the pressure in his heart was a little less.

"Then let's hurry up and finish the last thing, and then rush back."

He let out a sigh of relief and shouted to V, who was not far away.

The latter leaped up from the edge of the hundreds of meters in the air like a parkour, and landed next to Mason in two jumps, and Consus also dissipated his body with a smile at this time, leaving room for conversation to Mason and his mercenary friends.

"Take me around the cyber psychiatric asylum, I'm interested in the phenomena that are unique to your world."

Mason gave V a cigarette, personally helped him light the fire, and said with a suspicious face:

"Also, where did you move the main server of the Divine Shrine? Buttermos's Vault Dweller ship had to be taken to Blayniac before, I didn't think much about it then, but now I think about it, is it?"

"That's right!"

The energetic V snapped his fingers, and then pointed to the sky with a smoke ring and said:

"We're shuttling between planes right now, and it's great that Brainiac's ship is being used as a database host, and Bartmoss has enough redundancy to mobilize.

He's planning to add a few more weather and terrain mods to Cyberspace, and he's considering introducing more diverse race and appearance options that would add a little more color to the dead world.

This is thanks to you, otherwise it would be difficult for the afterlife team to find a similar perfect data carrier, no matter how hard they work. ”

"I worked hard to kill a director of hope, and as a result, you took most of the benefits."

Mason pouted and said:

"I don't care, you have to do some more compensation for this! I don't want much else, you see that my brother's side is about to fight, I have long heard that your afterlife team is very powerful, and you need to go into battle when the time comes, don't lose anyone. ”

"Hey, who are you going to cut?"

V waved his hand disdainfully, patted his chest very proudly with a master's posture and said:

"Do you understand the gold content of the legendary mercenaries of Night City? I'll tell you this, I'm invincible below the A-level, and I'm one for one above the A-level! ”

"Awesome, brother!"

Mason gave a thumbs up and waved, then walked to the float with a smile and a smile.

As soon as the scissor-shaped door opened, four snow-white arms reached out to grab Mason by the collar and pulled him into the cabin amid the screams of the captain.

This scene is very similar to the brutal scene of a poor ordinary man being caught by two female goblins in the cave as a crushing villager.

Night City's legendary mercenary, the famous cyberpsycho, the A-class team powerhouse, and the time-stopping Upanisha-ryu mechanical swordmaster V were all taken aback, and he took a step back vigilantly with a cigarette in his mouth, only to see Harley and Quinn in very "cool" clothes glaring at him at the same time.

Hallie was about to let the dogs bite her, but unfortunately the two dogs were not brought over.

"It's none of your business, go aside! Come back in thirty minutes! Break your legs if you dare to eavesdrop! ”

Quinn, who had already dressed up like a surreal sex doll in "cyber makeup", roared violently.

Then the door slammed shut, and then Mason's screams of panic were heard in it, revealing a desolation that could not resist but was ravaged by two female monsters.

"Mason got himself a pair of twins?"

V pursed his lips and didn't know what was in mind, but then a shyness appeared on the bionic face.

He happily took a few steps back, took a deep breath of smoke, and gave a thumbs up to the luxury floating car that was constantly shaking in the air for hundreds of meters, and praised:

"Tsk, I'm really good at playing. Awesome, bro! ”
