Zhu Ning walked into the underground passage.

The opening above has been completely merged, and there is no way out. The ancient steps extend step by step.

Liu Niannian had a flashlight in his hand, and the clothes on his body seemed to glow.

Zhu Ning asked Liu Niannian: "Are the clothes on your body made of special material?"

Liu Niannian: "Yes, but this is something that comes with my consciousness."

Zhu Ning: "..."

She was really a krypton gold player. She remembered asking Daju when she came in before if she could bring something in. Daju said it was impossible.

The clothes Zhu Ning wears are because they were chosen after her conscious body recognized herself. They have no function except to prevent herself from running around naked.

After walking along this road for more than ten minutes, I could no longer hear the sound of gunfire above, and there was a door deep underground.

There was a faint light on the edge of the door. Liu Niannian clicked a button on herself before opening the door. Her clothes and appearance changed.

Her originally dazzling outfit turned into a very ordinary T-shirt and jeans, and her beautiful face also became ordinary, and she looked unremarkable even in the crowd.

Zhu Ning asked: "What are you doing?"

Liu Niannian: "He should have seen my face. I'm afraid of being recognized by him."

Bao Ruiming belongs to the upper class circles, and he has definitely met Liu Niannian.

Liu Niannian opened the door, and the white light was dazzling. Zhu Ning subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Zhu Ning opened his eyes again and found that he was standing on the beach. It was completely different from the beach landing battle just now, a soft golden beach.

There were many tourists around, and a little boy was not far away. He seemed to have scratched his foot by a shell on the beach. His mother, who was wearing a red dress, ran over to see where he was injured.

Someone was basking in the sun two meters away, and her companion was applying sunscreen to her.

There are the calls of seabirds in the distance and the sound of leaves blowing. As a virtual scene, it is too real.

There is no sense of technology, or even a sense of age. It looks like an ordinary and old seaside town in Zhu Ning's world.

The three of them seemed to appear out of thin air on the beach. When Zhu Ning turned around, the door had disappeared.

Facing the polluted land, wealthy people have uploaded their consciousness to the cloud.

She also thought that the so-called consciousness cloud should be splendid and magnificent, with rich people living in palaces.

She had also imagined before that these rich people might live together in the cloud, sharing the pinnacle of power.

Unexpectedly, it was a separate scene created based on private customization.

Now that the sea is no longer visible, Bao Ruiming actually created a world in his mind.

Not only Zhu Ning, a local idiot, was surprised, but Xu Meng and Liu Niannian were also surprised.

Daju's voice disappeared after walking out of the door. Daju couldn't break through the firewall with them, so they had to rely on themselves.

Zhu Ning asked: "Is this the consciousness cloud?"

Liu Niannian responded that she was very familiar with her family's business. "Each customer's requirements are different. We will provide customized services. I have seen many people who built a palace in their heads. I am the first person to live in such an ordinary town."

See you again, maybe this place is very important to him."

Zhu Ning found everything he saw very strange and asked: "So each consciousness is stored separately? Can't visit each other?"

If an expert heard this question, he would think it was naive, but Liu Niannian answered patiently: "It is stored independently. If something goes wrong with a certain consciousness, we can cut it off directly from the server without contaminating other guests.

."

Zhu Ning had many questions, and the second one followed: "Question, is it possible to form a contaminated area here?"

Liu Niannian: "It is entirely possible that the collapse of human consciousness will turn into pollutants. That person's consciousness has been purified, and he can also form polluted areas in the clouds. But I have never seen it or been in it. I don't know what it is.

Like this. If it is contaminated, we will have a crisis management plan to kill it directly."

Liu Niannian continued: "The pollution on the Internet is handled by Prometheus. He opens the network, filters out the pollution, and then protects our communications from damage."

That's how those grave posts came from.

Zhu Ning looked at the lively crowd around her. A child ran past her. Zhu Ning asked: "Are these people alive?"

Liu Niannian: "Most of them are virtual characters. You can think of them as NPCs."

Zhu Ning asked: "We won't be discovered?"

Liu Niannian: "These people don't know. In order to pursue a sense of reality, each NPC has its own personality and consciousness. They think they are living people. In their eyes, we should just be tourists."

Reality?

Rich people are really weird. They have uploaded their consciousness and still pursue reality.

But if you think about it carefully, in the real world, to people from the privileged class, aren’t ordinary people just like NPCs?

Liu Niannian is from the Lu family. She knows many rules of consciousness and said: "But be careful of the inspection team."

Inspection team?

Liu Niannian hummed: "Everyone's consciousness is different, but they will set up an inspection team, which is a security system. Don't do anything unreasonable, otherwise it will attract attention."

Liu Niannian thought about the last time he had an explosion at Zhu Ning in a hot pot restaurant. Knowing her behavior, he reminded: "If you go too far, the disinfection process may be started."

Zhu Ning: “What is the disinfection procedure?”

Liu Niannian: "I don't know much about the situation in this cloud. The reaction in each scene is different. Generally speaking, it is a quick killing mode."

For example, meteorites falling from the sky and sudden disasters can directly destroy the world and rebuild it again in a very "logical" way.

It's equivalent to a one-click restart.

Zhu Ning thought for a while, isn't this just another type of polluted area?

Do the logical thing and don't get caught by contaminants.

Once discovered, the contaminated area will enter hunting mode, and the consciousness cloud will enter disinfecting mode.

The logic is pretty much the same, so Zhu Ning is still doing what he does.

Xu Meng asked: "Then where is he?"

Liu Niannian shook his head: "I don't know, he can be anywhere."

Bao Ruiming may also be sunbathing on the beach, lying under a parasol, walking in the street, or at home.

Because the consciousness can be changed, Bao Ruiming may not still look like what Zhu Ning has seen. He may be a little boy or a junior high school student who is still studying.

It just depends on which stage of himself this pervert likes.

Zhu Jingjing stopped to think about it. She had been working as a psychiatrist for pollutants, and now she felt like she could return to her old job.

Zhu Ning asked: "So the conscious body is actually the embodiment of a person's heart?"

Liu Niannian said cautiously: "For a consciousness of his level, yes, and Bao Ruiming has the right to change the program."

"How should I put it?" Liu Niannian thought for a moment, "We walked into the theme park he built to create his dream."

To a certain extent, the cloud of consciousness is actually a kind of dreaming space.

It is becoming more and more like a polluted area. We need to follow a certain logic and then find the source of pollution. Bao Ruiming is the source of pollution.

The town is so large, looks so warm and peaceful, and there are no hints.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xu Meng looked at the waves in the distance and said, "He seems to like the sea very much."

Zhu Ning had been to his office before. Bao Ruiming's office was built above the aquarium, and there were sharks swimming under the desk, like an ocean overlord.

This scene must have meaning to him.

Xu Meng: "Look for clues."

Liu Niannian: "Are we leaving separately?"

Zhu Ning: "Let's go together. I feel like this place is quite strange."

Although it looks normal, when you think about Bao Ruiming's perverted brain, normality is the biggest abnormality.

Because Liu Niannian had changed his appearance, the three of them were less conspicuous in the crowd. Zhu Ning observed as they walked.

Zhu Ning had generally read the tomb posts before entering contaminated areas and knew what probably happened inside, but this was a conscious body and he had no clue at all.

The only things that can be explored are a few large areas, the beach, the ocean, and the houses in the distance.

The ocean looks more dangerous. Zhu Ning once watched a movie where the protagonist felt that the boundary of the ocean was actually a wall.

Is the end of the sea here also a data wall?

Because they couldn't confirm whether there were any monsters hiding under the ocean, they abandoned this part.

The island is not big, and I walked around the beach but didn't find anything special. After checking the beach, the sun had set and darkness had fallen.

Liu Niannian: "It's so peaceful here."

Along the way, they saw only small town residents and some people selling flowers along the street.

Zhu Ning: “I also feel that I even want to live here for retirement.”
