Li Pan opened the door with a silver key and walked into the dim and hot computer room.

On either side of the door, there are rows of hacker creature access pods. At first glance, it looks like a pile of giant snake eggs, and the link lines are wrapped around the capsule like blood vessels, one end is linked to the central server, and the other end is deep into the network ecological cabin.

If you look closer, you can see that at the end of the link lines in the biological chamber filled with orange-red LCL solution, you can faintly see the huddled human body, as if trapped in a cocoon, just like the embryo conceived in the mother's body.

Well, the Whisperer's androids, these are all of them, but they are much more unlucky than Li Pan as temporary workers, because they are not 'hackers', more appropriately, they are biological components in a group of eight, the basic computing power unit of the Eight Snakes Project.

These artificial human consumables, from the age of six or seven years when the brain is gradually fully developed, began to accept a variety of brain implantation and surgical transformation, like the human flesh data carrier, to undertake the data and information of the entire big snake project, in the high-intensity computing power and extreme physical pressure, generally within three to five years, the entire group of 'components' will be scrapped and replaced.

Yes, this is Eighteen's dream, and she was one of the 'replaceable parts' soaked in this oocyst before she went to prison.

However, compared to the same batch of products, Eighteen's luck is quite good, affected by the defeat and sanctions, the Yaqi Snake project does not dare to blatantly operate at full capacity, and has to hide in Tibet, from 'human body components', to what 'hacker beautiful girl', otherwise she will not have a chance to be imprisoned until she is bought by the company.

Li Pan didn't have to work hard to find the owner in a large group of 'devices', after all, such a big word on the biological cabin was written, No.18......

"Hey, Eighteen, it's time to wake up. I'm here to save you......"

So the girl in the cocoon opened her eyes and saw a faceless face without eyes and mouth, looking straight at herself.

The creature pod flashed red in an instant, and the embryos curled up and twisted and trembled, screaming in unison, and in an instant the LCL boiled.

"What's going on! What happened! ”

"Caught by the SEC! Damn it! This stronghold is no longer available! ”

"Disconnected! Breaking! And a few more alive! Transfer! ”

The researchers wearing chemical protective suits rushed into the computer room, slashed the server with fire axes, and directly pulled out the wire and disconnected the network, smashing the scarlet flash dream.

So the picture in front of him turned, and the dream in front of Li Pan's eyes changed into a small prison cell, with the bulletproof glass door reflecting the faceless people in formal clothes in the corridor, eighteen wearing prison uniforms, sitting opposite the glass door, looking at the single-reflection glass with an expressionless face.

What's going on? What just happened? Did she faint? Are you scared?

Li Pan thought about it, looked at the console, and pressed the call button,

"Hey, eighteen, don't sleep, wake up."

Eighteen's eyes moved, and he looked up at the surveillance camera in his cell.

"Who?"

"It's me, I'm the boss, I'm here to save you, come, come out to work."

Eighteen rolled his eyes,

"Neuropathy."

Tut...... This is a kid......

"Hey, I'm serious! You've been in a coma for more than a month, and you're dreaming! If we don't wake up again, our stock will be forced to liquidate! ”

Eighteen rolled his eyes,

"Hey uncle, my sentence is indefinite, deprivation of economic and political power for life, I'll take a Mao stock speculation!"

Li Pan is also speechless, why are you talking so much nonsense, Lao Tzu has flown the legion, and he has driven trillions of warships to pick you up, just wake up and ask questions.

"The account is in my name, but the password is in your place, no, seriously, the market is about to pick up, it's really going to rise, everything will be fine!" Believe me! ”

Eighteen showed the disgusted look of the madman from where, and said to the hand,

"Hey, prison guard, prison guard, there's a cyber neuropathy intruding into your system, and you told me to go stock trading. Is there anyone in charge? ”

Li Pan was furious, smashed the glass, and slammed his face in.

"Damn! Lao Tzu is not a psychopath! Don't stay out of bed and come out to work! ”

Eighteen and Li Pan glanced at each other, their eyes widened, their legs stretched, and they turned their heads up.

"Oh no, you're here again!"

The dream turned again, and this time Li Pan found himself standing in a void. There are dozens of large screens above the head, and various games, anime and movies are played on the screen, and there is a large sofa in front of the screen.

Li Pan walked over to take a look, and saw that eighteen was a waste person lying down, wearing a virtual helmet, slumped on the sofa to watch dramas and play games.

Alas, this bear kid is really useless......

Li Pan had no choice but to recall the previous drawing of the mask and dig out a smile on his face.

"Hey, stop playing. I'm Li Pan. ”

This time Eighteen didn't faint in fright, and came when he opened his mouth,

"Oh, boss, you're dead too."

"What nonsense is the bear kid talking about,"

Li Pan snatched her handle,

"Gone! Go to work! ”

Eighteen muttered reluctantly,

"I don't want to go to work, it's also a company asset to live, so let me lie here......"

Li Pan patiently explained,

"Don't worry, I've already found a company to buy you, and in the future, you will be Beaulong's UI, Heaven's cloud server, BYB's customized Xingtian, I've bought it for you, and I want to play it out and play again......"

But who knows that eighteen is still lying flat,

"Isn't that still going to work, 24-hour standby, and reporting on call?

When is this ghost day going to be the head, boss, let me go, let me stay here until I die. ”

Now Li Pan was annoyed,

"Hey! What nonsense! How old are you? If you know what life is like, you will die all day long! ”

"You know, life is a big, there is no good thing, in the blink of an eye, it dies, and then it is put in a jar ......"

Pointing to the screen with eighteen fingers, Li Pan turned his head and saw that the dozen or so big screens began to play back and fast forward quickly, from artificial embryos, to artificial parts, to hackers, to prisoners, and finally a short life passed between numbers and codes, the end of the marquee, and all the pictures stayed in a brain packed in a jar.

"I don't want to live like this, boss."

Li Pan turned his head, and the eighteenth lying on the sofa disappeared, and only a brain in a jar was placed in front of him.

"Please, let me go back to sleep, boss."

Li Pan was silent for a while at the jar, looking at the brain in the jar, looking at the smiling face reflected on the glass of the jar, and sighed,

"What about you...... Rest a little longer, I'll come back to see you later......"

So Li Pan tore off his face and opened his eyes.

"The UI transmission is synchronized, the personality setting is completed, the control of the Beaulieu is uploaded, and the update is completed."

PONY, who upgraded himself to a unicorn, flapped his wings excitedly and made a cheerful eighteen sound,

"Wow, BYB's processor is amazing! The memory processing speed has increased by 2300%! There is no limit to the cloud processor! Thank you owner! ”

Li Pan squeezed his eyebrow bone, and finally lifted the neural link with the company's eighteen brains.

“…… Okay, if you like it, then let's go and fight the legion. ”

PONY, "Oooh, oh, fight the Legion!" ”

"The buoy is set, Kepler-452B, the star map is loaded, the autopilot is activated, the jump passage is being generated, and it is expected to arrive in sixteen hours."

Successfully completed the UI update of the Beaulie, and returned to the Beaulong, Li Pan lay on the captain's seat and did not speak for a while.

"Hey, broom head, what's wrong with you? Don't seem to be in the mood? ”

Nana opened the internal communication link and came over.

"Well, it's not going on vacation, of course it's not how happy."

Li Pan casually perfunctory, adjusted the tone of PONY's voice, and changed a set of online voice packets.

The more casually he spoke, the more Nana felt as if he was not in a high mood, and thought about it and suggested,

"Why don't you end this mission, go back to your hometown with me!"

Li Pan was almost choked by spittle, and he was speechless,

"Hey, hey! Don't put up a flag before the war! ”

"You're still superstitious about this, I mean, go on vacation to my hometown!"

Nana suggested,

"Didn't I tell you that my hometown also runs a hot spring house? The hot springs in Toyama are no worse than those in Hakone! There are also hot spring rice bowls and so on! Although there is no Aolong, it is ......"

Well, it's okay to take care of business for your hometown, but it's a bit boring to soak in hot springs every time you go on a company trip......

Idle is also idle, so Li Pan casually clicked on the homepage of Toyama Hot Springs sent by Nana and looked at the introduction.

Toyama's hot springs are not bad, but to be honest, the overall grade is really a little worse, after all, Saitoya is a five-star resort hotel that serves the directors of Takamagahara, and Toyama Village is mainly a farmhouse for general company dogs and their families.

But there's nothing bad about the farmhouse.,There are a lot of photos and videos of Nana on the homepage.,She's in high school,Junior high school,Junior high school at home to help work......

Li Pan clicked the video pause button, frowned, and took a screenshot.

"Is this you?"

Nana, "Oh, it's a yukata from elementary school, how about it!" The old lady is very cute, hahahaha! ”

Li Pan, "......"

Nana, "Hey, what's the silence all about, hey!" ”

Li Pan was silent for a while, blinked, came to the Shenting office, and kicked open the 'Gate of Sparrow's Yin'.

Li Qingyun still sat leisurely on the futon behind the door and meditated, guarding the pot of elixir that he didn't know when it would be stewed, his eyes were slightly closed, and in the green smoke, he seemed to be asleep, he seemed to wake up but not awake, and his dream seemed to be talking to himself,

"Fellow Daoist, how can you have time to get together with me, could it be that the errand of the Black Lotus Sect has been completed?"

The shadow man on the ground stood up and turned into a shadow-like human form, his eyes darker than the shadow, staring at the Taoist in front of him.

"Why do they look the same?"

Li Qingyun slowly opened his golden dragon pupils,

"I don't know what my friend is talking about......"

"Don't tread me with horses! Nana Toyama and Juan'er! Why do they have the same face! ”

Li Qingyun looked at the Dan room, isolated the five tones, and forced his face in front of him, its shape was like the shadow of a ghost beast. But he didn't panic, he just slowly spread out his hand, revealing the silk handkerchief in his palm,

"Because, they are originally one, they are monsters, Daoyou."

For a moment, countless holes opened in the shadow, as if hundreds of faces opened the eyes of the beast at the same time, staring directly at Li Qingyun, but after confronting the golden dragon pupil for a while, the frenzied anger was still retracted little by little, and finally the shadow returned to its human form, sat cross-legged in front of Li Qingyun, and sighed,

"Can you make it clear......

"To be clear, do you understand that?"

Li Qingyun rotated and folded one end of the handkerchief, wound it into a ring, and tied a knot to form a circle.

"Mobius Ring."

The shadow stared at him with wide eyes.

Li Qingyun gestured,

"You see, this ring has only one one-sided surface, and bugs on the surface can go all over the surface without having to step over its edge.

The Möbius ring remains unchanged when the figure is bent, expanded, reduced, or arbitrarily deformed, as long as the original different points do not coincide into the same point during the deformation process, and no new points are generated.

In other words, it is a topological transformation, that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the points of the original graph and the points of the transformed graph, and the adjacent points are still adjacent points......"

The shadow interrupted him,

"What the hell are you talking about? I ask you why they look the same! What are you pulling for me?? ”

Li Qingyun sighed,

"From different times and places, from different angles, things that seem completely different actually have essentially the same roots.

Although there are tens of thousands of doppelgangers in the heavens and all worlds, they essentially have the same shadow and the same face, which is the essence of monsters.

The root of the 'handkerchief' is a super-space-time channel that links different time and space, which can be roughly regarded as the Möbius ring model.

It is precisely because the 'handkerchief' can connect different worlds and different times, that it is possible to appear in different dimensions at the same moment, just like a frenzied ghost illuminated by light sources in different directions.

If you ask me, how can the 'handkerchief' become a silk, it is naturally because it has been enlightened by the Taoist ancestors, and listened to Zen in the Shangzhen Temple, and finally cultivated the real human form in Penglai Mountain for 800 years.

But if you ask me why Nana Toyama looks the same as Juan'er, then I can only guess that she is ......"

The shadow interrupted him again,

"That night, she was eaten by Juan'er and died in that apartment?"

Li Qingyun was silent for a while, pinched his fingers and calculated, and shook his head,

"There are so many possibilities."

The shadow tore at his face with his claw-like hands,

"There are so many possibilities! Aren't there only two possibilities? Or maybe she's not dead! Or maybe she died at the time......

So what exactly did I bring back...... Yes, it's Juan'er...... No, time and space, isn't it...... Is it Nana at any other point in time...... How many times did that apartment reincarnate before I walked in...... That's the Nana of the past, or the future, no, the silk of the future already exists, and Nana is not destined to ......"

"Bang!" There was a thunderclap, and it was Li Qingyun who suddenly snapped his fingers and thundered, recalling the shadow's attention.

"So I said, there are many possibilities.

The monsters that are also involved in the way of time and space are the most troublesome in themselves, because they are also mixed in the way, and there are differences in fate, and there are other possibilities. Moreover, Juan'er also got the Dao Ancestor Ninefold Seal, and no one knows what kind of realm she will be able to cultivate in the future.

But since it can connect the heavens of Daluo, even if it can't be compared with the Sword Ancestor, I think it is still the Tao, and there are a few shadows scattered in the heavens, what is so strange. ”

As if surprised by the thunder sound, the shadow gradually returned to its human form, and after a moment of silence, he asked again,

"I ...... I've heard that if the navigator eats too much spice, it will gradually deform...... Constantly transcending time and space, flying through the void, will also accelerate this process......

You said...... Could it be...... It was I who kept letting her lead the way, swimming in the sea of stars, and only then did she get lost in the whirlpool of time and space, and ascend to such an existence......"

LI Qingyun,

"Fellow Daoist, your imagination is quite rich."

The shadow glared at him,

Li Qingyun shrugged,

"Okay, it's possible for you to say that, but if you want her to become 'Juan'er', then she might indeed become like that."

The shadows shook like candles blown by the wind,

"What do you say, I want to ......"

Li Qingyun handed the 'handkerchief' to the shadow, ignored the dodge, and stuffed the 'handkerchief' into the shadow's hand.

"This is originally your thing, whether it's a 'handkerchief', a 'silk', or even Nana Toyama, all of these things are what you expect to appear by your side.

What you want them to become, how you want them to become, how you expect, how the universe responds, that's the root of all problems.

So, if you care so much about a face, let 'Juan'er' change her face. Or do you care about something else?

Oh, what, are you afraid that one day, you will also see the death of Nana Toyama?

Then I can't help you. No one can.

For all mortals will die, and only you will reach the end. ”

The shadow stared at the 'handkerchief' in his hand, was silent for a while, stood up and walked to the door, and suddenly it stood up again, turned its head to stare at Li Qingyun,

“…… Since there are thousands of people, then why are your faces different from mine? ”

The shadow points to itself,

"Where's my face?"

"Fellow Daoist, what are you thinking nonsense?"

Li Qingyun raised his head, smiled, and his eyes bloomed with a bright light.

"Isn't our face your face?"

Then Li Pan opened his eyes violently, and his eyes were white, and he only felt the pain of his eyes being pricked by needles.

"Hey, this bastard is turning his face with Lao Tzu, right......"

Then he looked up and saw Nana standing beside him.

"Broom head, what's going on?"

"No, nothing, aren't you about to jump, why don't you sit down properly......"

"Jump? We've arrived......."

Nana frowned and checked Li Pan's spacesuit and physical parameters,

"Have you been too tired lately? Why don't we go and rest together, and let the guys from the Security Service take care of it. ”

“…… I'm fine, I'll just get there, I'll go to the legion. ”

Li Pan just stood up with his chair, Nana held his hand and held him,

"Hey, broom head...... Don't be afraid, I'll always be there for you. ”

Li Pan was silent for a moment, nodded to her, and walked out of the bridge with a gloomy face.
