The chaotic data stream flickered through the cyber eyepiece in front of him, and in a dazzling and colorful data stream, Lin Mo finally saw the world that fascinated countless people.

Ever-changing neon graphics, spinning grids, and illusory particles, the world in front of you has become "simpler", but more complex and changeable.

Before he knew it, he was already in the middle of a vast network.

This feeling was quite strange, Lin Mo couldn't feel any sensation of his real body at all, he felt as if he had become a ghost floating in the void, without breath, weight, or touch.

But his sense of hearing and vision still exists, and the world is also extraordinarily vivid and magnificent, with data particles of various colors forming objects of various shapes like molecules that make up this world.

It's a large data space, like a large matchbox-shaped house, with all kinds of objects floating around.

Lin Mo curiously tried to touch these rectangular, diamond-shaped, and even circular objects around him.

If he was not mistaken, these objects were models of the network data he had prepared in advance in the real world.

In addition to instruments and equipment such as hacker base stations in the warehouse, he also has some other miscellaneous items, and he will also come here to splice prosthetic equipment when he has free time in the past to improve his "craft".

During the period of Kangtao's further study, he did try to "splic" a simple speed component in the warehouse with his bare hands.

All in all, this warehouse is actually his small base in Shenyang, which is usually used to pile up sundries and conduct manual experiments, which naturally also uses network data.

For this exercise, he deliberately made some "models" on the computer in the warehouse, and the various objects that appeared at the moment, and even this "matchbox" house, were his masterpieces.

For example, one of the round data objects has data from his previous experiments recorded inside.

Lin Mo tried to reach out and touch it, and the moment his palm touched the object, the round object turned into a string of data streams and poured into his body, and a box appeared in front of him, and the information on it was his experimental data.

"It was just perfect!" He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this novel experience was indeed nostalgic.

In the past, even without the concept of "cyberspace", the online world was still immersed in real people, but now the Internet has become a visual world, which is bound to be even more addictive.

However, when Lin Mo continued to "play" for more than ten seconds, he quickly realized a problem.

"Strange, what about Sasha and Lucy?" He looked up, and there was no second person in the vast space.

With the help of the hacker base station, Sasha and Lucy will inevitably enter cyberspace much faster than him.

But why are they all "online" now, but they still haven't seen the two of them?

In last night's simulation, there was no mention that there would be problems with today's test.

Just when Lin Mo felt bad in his heart and wanted to log out of the online world, a "flame" appeared in vain in a corner of his field of vision.

The reaction speed beyond ordinary people was not lost even in the cyberspace, and Lin Mo took a few steps back, vigilantly observing the cluster of flames.

It was a "flame" made of blue-green data particles, similar in shape to the flames in the Minecraft game he had played in Bluestar World, like several stickers mixed together.

Then, under his gaze, the flame grew stronger and stronger, gradually turning into a raging ball of fire several meters high, engulfing all kinds of objects in this space.

Immediately after that, the flames exploded silently, and the brilliant particles that exploded fell like rain, and a graceful figure appeared where the flames exploded, and floated down in mid-air, floating towards Lin Mo like a flame spirit.

Even in the virtual online world, many things are not as clear as in reality, but Lin Mo still saw the playful smile on the other party's face.

"What are you trying to do? Lucy. Lin Mo sighed and stared at Lucy.

And under his gaze, the details of the girl's face gradually changed to his familiar appearance.

- The shape of the appearance in the online world is often not trusted, and as long as you master the method of changing the shape, no matter who can change your own shape at will.

These shapes can be samurai, dinosaurs, monsters, indescribable tentacles, or symbolic shapes.

Now that she is surrounded by people she is familiar with, Lucy can't use a "fake face" to communicate with Lin Mo.

"I just wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect you to be scared at all." Lucy quipped with a smile.

Lin Mo glanced at her speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

However, he could also see that after the "surprise attack" last night, Lucy seemed to have let go of some burden, and her attitude towards him was not as cold as before...

In the past, she would never have made such a joke.

"Where's Sasha?" Lin Mo had no choice but to change the topic.

"You can look behind you." Lucy tilted her head and looked behind him.

Lin Mo frowned slightly, and the bad feeling in his heart rose like a flame.

In the next second, he hid behind Lucy without thinking, and his movements were so flexible that he could be called professional, which made Lucy's eyes widen in astonishment, squinted at Lin Mo who was hiding behind him, and the corners of his mouth pulled to reveal a helpless smile.

At this moment, Lin Mo also saw the "monster" that had appeared behind him.

- A huge demon with green flames, with thick fangs and a hideous face, the breath it exhales like steam, and its impactful thick body makes it look like an abyssal demon running out of a magical world.

The demon seemed to be trying to scare him, but when he saw him hide behind Lucy, the demon froze, and after a while it gradually shrank until it became a petite love figure.

"I wouldn't have scared you if I knew I wouldn't have scared you, why did you hide behind Lucy so scared?" Sasha looked at Lin Mo with a slightly angry tone.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's about judging the situation, I don't have any combat ability in cyberspace, what can I do if I don't hide when I'm in danger?" Lin Mo said as a matter of course: "And how can this be blamed on my head, isn't it because of your prank?" ”

"It's not a prank..."Sasha looked a little lost, as if because Lin Mo's reaction didn't meet her expectations:

"I deliberately pretended to be this image, in fact, to show you the puppet."

"Puppets? You said that the demon figure just now is actually a puppet? Lin Mo's eyes widened in surprise.

"yes."

Sasha smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the ground next to him, and soon the figure of the hideous demon just now appeared, but compared to the huge body that was several meters high just now, the demon in front of him seemed to be a miniature version, only a few tens of centimeters in size.

"Puppet - Protect the Demon, it is a variant of the famous Hellhound, according to my personal division, it belongs to the protective puppet, and the role is to counter other aggressive puppets, well, in short, it is anti-invasion." She explained softly.

Under her control, the demon's figure gradually began to make various movements, as well-behaved and obedient as a pet.

Looking at the small demon figure in front of him, Lin Mo was amazed, this was the first time he had seen a figurative puppet program.

However, he was not too surprised.

Although he didn't recognize the other party's essence at first glance when he saw this demon just now, now that he thinks back to the hacking knowledge he learned in the past, he also understands the reason why the current magic puppet is concrete.

The essence of this is that the true power of cyber hackers will be fully revealed in cyberspace.

They are the "magicians" of cyberspace, and these puppet programs are their spells.

Creating a suitable image for the puppet program is just one of their many abilities.

Lin Mo has read a lot of information, the current network world because of the legendary hacker Buttermoss's "masterpiece", so that most of the network collapsed into a dangerous "old network", and the small part of the network that can be used by human beings can only shrink under the protection of the black wall.

And this has indirectly led to the current situation of the hacker community

——The new generation of hackers can't imagine the "glory" of the past cyber world, and compared with the older generation of cyber hackers, the new generation of hackers is still "eating the old book".

To put it simply, the technological development in the field of hacking has come to a standstill, and many puppet programs still use the "old gadgets" of the previous era.

That's why the "cyber legacy" of bygone eras is extremely precious in today's hacking world.

Some of the best hackers will also risk their lives to infiltrate the "old web" to pan for gold, and if they can get their hands on a few "spell books" (texts that record magic puppets), it will undoubtedly be a lot of money.

Through the records of those books, Lin Mo also has an in-depth understanding of several classic puppets in the hacker world in the past era.

For example, Sasha just mentioned the [Hellhound], looking at the past, this is a top-notch hacker puppet, which can locate the target in cyberspace and then send a specific biological signal (the devil knows what kind of black technology), so that the target's body in reality will be severely damaged.

Once the attack is effective, in most cases the victim will die immediately.

And if the attack is dodged by the target, the hound will also wander back near the target hacker's login coordinates, lurking there until the target logs back online and continues to attack, never dying!

In cyberspace, the image of [Hellhound] is generally a giant wolf, and other details of the specific appearance are set by the user at will.

Other classic puppets also have [Anteater] - locates the opponent's attack program, [Killer Series] - countermeasures the puppet program, [Slow Down Cage] - detects stealth and limits speed, etc.

In a sense, cyber hackers are indeed "magicians" in cyberspace, and all puppet programs are their spells and magic, and they can start a silent and fierce "spell" fight in cyberspace at any time!
