[Deep underground, the remains of the structure black spire]

Su Mo was still cutting the black spire gates, and the work had been going on for several days.

The material strength of the Black Spire is very high, and the cutter of this Earth Spacecraft is based on the Moon Hidden Arm Blade in the future, using the same high-frequency particle oscillation technology.

Rao, the cutting process is still extremely slow, and after a few days, the ring cutting has not completely closed.

At this time, the communicator rang, and the voice of the future came faintly: "Boss, the city has gone crazy, millions of border people have been abandoned outside the walls and no one cares, but the elites of the giant enterprises are swaggering and evacuating under the cover of the authorities, with special car transfers and charter flights, just like vacations. How did you say the world became like this? ”

Su Mo rubbed his eyes that were red from tiredness and whispered, "It's not how the world became like this, it's that it has never changed. ”

"I'll be able to get in right away, turn off the beacon early, and this will really be over."

Not long after Su Mo's words fell, the cutting work, which had lasted for several days, was finally completed.

The glittering blade of the cutting beam made a 360-degree circular cut, and as the mechanical suction cup attached to it, a round hole appeared in the door of the structure that was just enough for humans to pass through.

Due to the membrane barrier in this space, everything is normal in terms of temperature, except that there is no oxygen for humans to breathe.

Su Mo put on the oxygen supply equipment he had prepared earlier, brought the large toolbox he needed, adjusted the communication unit to the corresponding state, and said, "In the future, Qi Zero, the cutting work is complete, and I am ready to go out of the cabin and inside." ”

Qi Ling: "Go ahead, I'm always with the future." ”

Su Mo controlled the ground spacecraft to dock parallel to the cut passageway, and opened the hatch to enter the black spire.

Even though Su Mo had been here many times when he was playing games before he crossed over, a game is a game after all, no matter how good the graphics card is, no matter how high the resolution is, all he sees is a screen.

And when you actually see the wonders inside, the shock is indescribable.

What catches your eye is a deep corridor, with grotesquely twisted massive mechanical structures standing on either side, the surface shimmering with a faint light, forming a number of regular geometric figures, each of which is made up of countless tiny parts.

When Su Mo appeared, they all moved, and those geometric shapes began to hover as if they had come to life, and finally converged into a substantial beam of energy.

This scene was expected by Su Mo, and it was also the normal flow of the original plot.

This is the Black Spire's automatic defense against outsiders, and any non-construct entering the corridor will be attacked.

Therefore, if you want to explore the depths of the Black Spire, it is not possible to use drones and robots instead of manpower, and you can't escape the attack of the defense system at all, so Su Mo must come in person.

However, for Su Mo now, these defense systems are not a big problem.

He simultaneously activated the Wild Skeleton Blood Code and the Crimson Rose Blood Code, and the blood factor and the Wild Skeleton Bone fused together to form an extremely strong blood crystal skeleton, forming a defensive layer around his body.

Those energy beams hit it, leaving only deep pits, unable to penetrate them, and those holes were also blocked under Su Mo's further differentiation.

He just stood up to the energy beam and walked past these defensive machines to the end of the corridor.

Walking out of the corridor, an unimaginably large stone pillar stands in front of you, with a circular staircase distributed on its surface, but each section is independent, changing all the time, or rising, descending, or rotating.

He couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

is coming, and the "ruins jumping music" of the underworld that was angrily sprayed by the beta players.

This is a level that tests puzzle solving and operation at the same time, and players have to calculate the rules of operation in the ever-changing ladder, and also have detailed operations to ensure that they do not step on the air and fall down when jumping.

One wrong step, see you at the archive point.

Su Mo had been stuck in this ghost place for two whole days, and had died hundreds of times.

Su Mo concentrated, inhaled deeply, and stared at the spiraling and ascending ladder of change, while activating his super-memory ability and comparing it with the "game strategy" in his memory.

Soon, the sight in front of him began to fit with the phantom of memory in his mind, and he strode up one of the stairs.

Although Su Mo carried all kinds of heavy equipment and toolboxes on his body, the powerful physical strength still made his movements flow smoothly, constantly jumping between the changing stairs.

The higher you go, the more intricate the structure of the staircase becomes, sometimes a spiral staircase, sometimes a floating platform, sometimes a bridge that intersects with each other, forming a huge three-dimensional labyrinth.

But in the face of Su Mo's super-memory ability and the proficiency of countless exercises in his previous life, he jumped like a bird, and soon reached the apex of the labyrinth.

"Breathe for your life." In this other world, far from human civilization, he joked with himself in isolation.

Su Mo looked around, and there was only a deep passage in front of him, where the core master room of the entire black spire was located.

This is the center of the Black Spire, and at the center stands a massive temple tower-like mechanical structure, the main console, with no physical buttons or switches, instead of a mysterious symbol suspended in the air in the form of a particle image.

At the top of the main control room, a huge pale crystal was suspended in the air, its surface texture was intricate, as if it was composed of countless tiny crystals, each of which exuded a faint cold glow.

Su Mo looked at the pale crystal, his gaze becoming deeper and deeper.

That's where the fourth playthrough item, "Constructing Hatchlings", is located, the thing is inside, and the crystal on the outside is its protective shell.

In order to make that protective shell disappear and turn off the beacon that has been activated, it is necessary to destroy the operating system of the Black Spire.

To achieve the goal, it is not difficult in principle, as long as the black virus is used to paralyze the system.

The difficulty is how to implant the virus into the system.

No matter how powerful the black virus is, it is only an electronic virus, which does not have physical destructive power, and can only operate in electronic systems.

In order to implant a virus into a system, a communication interface is required.

The technology tree of the structure is different from that of humans, and the structure of the device is also very different, not that it is possible to plug in the wired interface with a USB flash drive.

It's obviously a different civilization, but it turns out to use the same USB interface as humans, so it's not pure

There is only one way to bypass the differences in hardware devices and directly connect to the construct device.

Su Mo opened the toolbox he was carrying and took out a small black box from inside.

This is a futuristic communication interface connection device, similar to the iron-blooded "electronic hacker" that Summer used in the TL730.

It searches for all available remote communication interfaces in the vicinity, and then uses hacking techniques to decipher and parse them, complete the connection, and finally implant the black virus.

That's how the original plot developed, so there will definitely be no problems.

Su Mo turned on the communicator and said, "Qi Ling, in the future, I have already seen the main control room, and now I am ready to go in." ”

At this point, his voice became lower and his tone was a little dark, "So far, everything is still under our control. ”

"But when I walked through that door, it wasn't something I could have predicted."

"Everything went well, of course, the best. But if, I say, if I lose contact with you, don't hesitate, immediately activate the emergency plan discussed earlier, and you must find a way to wake me up. ”

After Su Mo finished speaking, he strode towards the main control room.

The atmosphere also became solemn at this moment, and even the sound of heartbeat became very clear.

On the other side of the communicator, reports from Future and Qi Ling kept coming:

"The signs and signals are all normal, there are no fluctuations."

"The various data fed back by the detector are normal and there is no abnormality."

"The communication capture device can receive some weak signals, but the strength is not strong enough to establish a stable connection, so it needs to be closer."

"Yes, you can go in this direction now, the signal is increasing."

"Keep walking, the connection is getting more and more stable."

"Don't stop, go further."

Just as Su Mo approached the huge mechanical console in the shape of a temple tower, without warning, a mutation occurred.

The pale crystal suspended at the top of the main control room suddenly began to spin at high speed, and a strange light erupted from the crystal's brilliance.

The light was extremely strange, it was already white and white, but it didn't feel dazzling at all, and it instantly filled the entire main control room, and spread outward, covering the stairs, covering the corridors, and even pouring out black spires, until it flooded the entire underground space.

On the other end of the communicator, Mirai's rapid exclamation sounded, "Boss, your vital signs suddenly fluctuate violently!" Tell me about the situation, what happened? Top dog! Hear me? Hear the reply! ”

Su Mo's pupils were filled with that strange white light, and his pupils were almost the size of pinholes, and he stood there stiffly, no matter how he shouted in the future, he didn't respond.

In the end, Su Mo seemed to have his backbone removed, and his whole body was paralyzed on the ground, his head lying on his back weakly, swallowed up by the light.

"Didi." An icy voice echoed all around.

Confusion, haze, and finally gradually floating.

"Shhhh

His blurred vision gradually focused, and he saw the miserable white ceiling above his head, the dim light casting strange shadows on the walls, and the faint and faint pungent smell of disinfectant water around him, which made people feel oppressive for no reason.

This. This is where.

Su Mo's breathing was rapid, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he subconsciously wanted to get up, but found that there was a huge resistance from his hands and feet, making him unable to get up.

He lowered his head to look at his body with all his might, and found that he was wearing an ugly striped suit, with straps at his wrists and ankles, and his whole body was tied to the bed.

Just when he was at a loss, a woman in a nurse's uniform in the room looked over and trotted out the door and shouted, "Dr. Chen, the patient's family, he's awake." ”

A middle-aged male doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in, he leaned over to look at Su Mo, and asked softly, "Xiao Su, how does this medication feel compared to before?" Will it be more comfortable? ”

Su Mo looked at him blankly: "Medicine. What medicine to use?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on the doctor's face, but it didn't last long, and he comforted, "It's okay, maybe this medicine is not suitable for you, we can try it again." ”

At this time, with a rush of footsteps, a pair of middle-aged men and women hurriedly walked into the ward, and Su Mo was directly stunned when he saw them.

"Mom and Dad."

Su Mo's mother, Li Huishu, walked up to Su Mo, touched his cheek lovingly, her voice trembled slightly, but she could still hear that she was trying to keep calm: "Son, it's okay, if the medicine is not suitable, we will continue to change it." ”

"Dr. Chen said that now that medical technology is so advanced, intermittent mental disorder is not a terminal illness, and it will definitely be fine."

"Intermittent. Mental disorders? Su Mo muttered the word, looking around blankly.

The door to the room was closed at this point, and the window leading to the hallway was curtained, but not tightly, and through the gap in the curtains, the nurses walking in the hallway, and some patients in hospital gowns, could be seen.

One of the patients, noticing that the curtains in the room were not properly drawn, pressed his face against the glass and looked at Su Mo, who grinned and showed his yellow teeth, and saliva continued to run from the corners of his mouth until he was helped away by the nurse.

Su Mo was completely confused.

Here it is. Psychiatric hospital?

Why are you here.

What happened before?

My mind was blank, and I couldn't remember anything.

Just as Su Mo was trying to recall his memory, he suddenly felt a sharp tearing pain in his head, and his whole body was tense and struggling on the bed, but his hands and feet were restrained and he couldn't move, and the bed clicked.

"Dr. Chen, what's wrong with my child?!"

"It's okay, it's okay, normal side effects of the drug. Xiao Su, take a deep breath, don't be nervous, take a deep breath. ”

Voices become indistinct in the ears and the brain is confused.

In that chaotic sea of memory, several images emerged into consciousness.

A deep pit that reaches the formation.

Mysterious and grotesque structural architecture.

And the pale crystal.

Su Mo opened his eyes abruptly and exclaimed, "Yes! Hallucination! Here's the illusion! ”

"The Black Spire main control room triggers the defense system, which emits an anomalous wave signal that affects the mind, and the protagonist of the "Dawn" game also suffered"

But the hallucinations encountered by the original protagonist in the plot are just some flashback images, and the whole person is still awake for the most part. But to me, it would be such a real all-round illusion."

"Damn, it's really the same as the one in Xenogene Fusion Town, which is caused by the innate physical gap between me as a traverser and the original protagonist."

Li Huishu heard Su Mo's self-talk, the panic in her eyes surged like a burst, she grinned and patted her thighs hard, and her crying voice came out of her throat: "It's been so long, why is it still the same as the beginning?!" ”

"What has been said about the dawn, what the protagonist, what the crossing. Son, mom, please, let's not say such things, okay? ”

Father Su Xun held Li Huishu in his arms and comforted him, his eyes were also a little red, and he looked at Su Mo and choked up: "Son, Dad knows that this disease is not affected by your subjective will. But you have to fight it from the bottom of your heart, and you can't always be influenced by things that aren't real. ”

"You're a sick person, and those are all your hallucinations!" (End of chapter)
