Chapter 44: You're Weird
In the darkness of the wilderness, the lonely ruins of the city are very eye-catching.
Yang Wuji's consciousness body wandered among the ruins, carefully observing the architectural remains in the ruins.
These architectural styles are very different, and it seems that all imaginable architectural styles are kneaded together.
Just from the appearance and number of the wreckage, you can imagine how bizarre the city was before it was destroyed.
However, Yang Wuji found one thing very strange, these architectural debris only had a color of black in his perception, just like the ground under his feet.
Moreover, in addition to the style and texture that can be seen on the surface, the middle of the walls, bricks and tiles, and even the materials of the utensils are all empty, like empty shells folded out of black paper!
"The weirdest thing is that these words ......"
Yang Wuji squatted next to a signboard that had fallen to the ground, and touched the incomparably clear text on the signboard with his hand:
"Nolan Node Store - We have all the nodes you want!"
"Just looking at the style and grammar of the text, the remains of these buildings have been here for at least a few hundred years, and if you count the difference in time flow, it is possible to spend tens of thousands of years. Why are these words still so legible? Wrong...... Not only the text, but also the architectural textures and decorative patterns here are all revealed! I can't see the traces of time at all......"
The more Yang Wuji looked at it, the more strange he felt, feeling as if he had come to the ruins where time stood still, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.
At this moment, a message like a meteor piercing the night sky, like a loud bang, suddenly appeared from behind him:
"Who are you?"
Yang Wuji was startled, accelerated without looking back, and rushed towards the ruins closest to him.
As a result, he didn't take two steps before he found a figure standing in front of him.
Different from the translucent clay figure of Yang Wuji's consciousness body, the figure that stopped in front of Yang Wuji looked like a human in the real world.
It was an old woman who was 1.5 meters tall and looked in good spirits.
Her old countenance, her withered hands and feet, a set of dark robes enveloped her whole body, and in her hands, which were as thin as firewood, she also held a long black staff, the top of which was inlaid with a round orb of changing colors.
Yang Wuji just sensed the existence of the orb, and his consciousness body felt dizzy.
"Say...... Who are you! Or rather, what the hell are you! If you can't say it, then destroy it......"
As she spoke, the old woman raised her staff at Yang Wuji, and Yang Wuji's consciousness body suddenly gave birth to a chill - it was the celestial induction talent that reminded him that the staff was very bad!
He subconsciously wanted to relieve the out-of-body spirit, but at this moment, the chill suddenly disappeared again.
"Huh?"
The old woman put down her long staff, and seemed to sense something from Yang Wuji's consciousness body, and sent out a message of surprise.
Because the image of the old woman is too human-like, the way she sends out messages is also like an ordinary human talking.
"Are you...... Mankind? And it's still a consciousness-like existence? ”
The old woman accurately pointed out Yang Wuji's current state, and it didn't seem so murderous.
Yang Wuji hesitated for a moment and sent a confirmation message to the old woman:
"That's right, I'm a human consciousness and entered here unintentionally, and I have no ill will."
"You...... Inadvertently...... No, didn't you encounter a labyrinth when you came? Not stopped by the maze lock? Or was it attacked by the maze guards? ”
A humanized expression appeared on the old woman's face, and her words were full of incredulity, almost making Yang Wuji think that she was in the real world.
"After receiving a piece of information, I walked through an area composed of different scenes, and entered here through dozens of red doors, and I didn't encounter the maze lock you said, but I did encounter monsters, but I was careful, and those monsters didn't find me."
Yang Wuji continued to send a message to answer the other party, judging from the reminder of the heavenly and human induction just now, the old woman in front of him was undoubtedly very dangerous, and his consciousness body could be destroyed in minutes.
"Hmm...... Some of it is hidden, but most of it is true. ”
The old woman's perception is extremely sharp, and she can even detect the fact that Yang Wuji's information is concealed.
"That's weird...... Why can an ordinary person pass through layers of protection and enter here? Impossible...... However, judging from his current state, he should have some kind of ability that can shield perception, if this ability can make the entire deep web space ignore him...... Well, I see. ”
In front of Yang Wuji, the old woman muttered to herself, not shying away from his existence at all.
"It turns out that the person who has condensed the consciousness body is just an ordinary person in her eyes?"
Yang Wuji was speechless for a while, and at the same time he was extremely curious about the identity of the old woman, he saw that the other party almost figured it out, and hurriedly sent a message to ask:
"Where is this? Who are you? ”
After the old woman received Yang Wuji's message, she gave him a blank look and waved at him casually:
"Okay, since you're a human being, don't use this way of information communication, it's annoying to watch."
With the wave of her palm, Yang Wuji's consciousness body instantly received a piece of information, and after interpreting it, he found that this information was actually teaching him how to simply control and transform his consciousness body!
Yang Wuji subconsciously operated according to the information, and on the head of the translucent clay figure, human facial features actually appeared!
"Ah...... Ah......h
He opened his mouth and tried it, and found that his consciousness body could already make a "sound" in this strange cognitive space like a human being!
This shocked him, you know, this is not the real world, it stands to reason that there can be no so-called "sound", and there can be no "medium" for sound transmission! The action of his "talking" just now is simply some kind of very advanced way of transmitting information!
"Okay, now you have something to say directly, don't worry about me analyzing your information."
The old woman's "voice" sounded in Yang Wuji's "ears" again.
"It turns out that she is worried about me, worried that I will not dare to speak......"
Yang Wuji was silent for a long time, and then held back a sentence:
"You're weird."
"Huh? How do I sound like this doesn't sound like a good word? ”
The old woman glared at him sensitively, and Yang Wuji hurriedly changed the topic:
"Where can you be, just praise you for being a good person. I'm just an ordinary person, I accidentally fell here from the deep web, who are you? Where is this? ”
"Hmph...... Over here? This is the lowest level of the information layer of the deep web, as for who I am...... You can call me 'Phantom God' or you can call me 'Administrator'. ”
The old woman paused the staff in her hand and said with great momentum.
Yang Wuji's facial features when he first appeared suddenly showed a shocked expression, which made the old woman very satisfied, but then she saw Yang Wuji pointing behind her and asked her:
"If you're always an administrator...... So what are they? ”
"Huh?"
The old woman turned around and looked at her suspiciously.
Behind her, a large black disc with a diameter of about one meter was flying densely in mid-air, like a bomber locking on to the target, swooping towards the two of them at high speed.
"Damn!"
The old woman was disturbed by these black discs, and consciously pretended to fail, so she immediately picked up her long staff and aimed at the group of discs and let out an angry roar:
"Destroy!"
Thousands of black discs were fingered by her, and they were instantly pierced by a nameless wave, and all of them were shattered into powder.
Yang Wuji sensed it and found that the nameless fluctuation seemed to be an extremely powerful and chaotic flow of information.
And those black discs just now, any one of them could stimulate his celestial and human sensing talent......
So he instinctively raised his hands and applauded vigorously:
"Phantom God is awesome! Admin awesome! ”
"Ahem."
When the old woman heard Yang Wuji's praise, she cleared her throat in embarrassment and turned around:
"Okay, it's not convenient to talk here, you can come with me first."
After saying that, she waved her staff again, and a blue circular portal suddenly appeared in front of her.
With one step in, the old woman's figure disappeared into the circular portal.
Yang Wuji walked to the portal, touched the portal with his hand, and couldn't perceive any useful information, so he could only rely on the fact that he could remove the out-of-body talent of the Yuan Shen at any time, and walked in boldly.
Stepping into the portal with one foot, Yang Wuji only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he entered another space in an instant.
It's a scene that looks like the middle of a canyon, surrounded by a dense and tall jungle with red and yellow foliage, which looks very fantastical.
After walking a few steps along the forest path, the scene instantly opened up.
An idyllic three-storey wooden house appears in a clean and tidy open space, next to a large green meadow, and a small clear lake not far away, these scenes combine to make people feel calm and beautiful, like a dream scene.
"The door is unlocked, just come in."
The old woman's voice came from the direction of the hut, although it was not loud, but it was like an arrow, straight into Yang Wuji's "ears".
He put aside his doubts, walked quickly to the cabin, and pushed the door in.
To Yang Wuji's surprise, what appeared in front of him was neither a warm and comfortable home interior, nor a mysterious scene of fantasy magic, but a neat and simple office-style interior scene.
Whether it is the living room, kitchen, study, or bedroom, they are all plain and minimalist black and white, which gives Yang Wuji the illusion of entering the headquarters of Lao Gan Express Company.
Except for the few paintings on the walls, which look very artistic, the whole cabin seems to have been designed by two completely different people.
In the living room, by the window, there is a silver desk, and dozens of computer screens are densely packed on the desk.
The old woman, who called herself the "Phantom God", was standing at her desk, talking to a young woman.
Yang Wuji tried his best to perceive it, and found that although the distance was not far, he couldn't hear the content of the two of them at all, and he realized that the communication method that the old woman taught him just now could not only prevent the information he sent from being mixed with other superfluous things, but also keep the information confidential to a certain extent.
