When wandering around the Shadow City, I often meet Xiling - this super consciousness that is a little confused and always seems to be wandering around with nothing to do seems to appear in several specific places unconsciously, and these places are basically
The places where Sandora and I usually like to visit are probably related to her life form: as the group consciousness of the Xiling group, she is more inclined to pay attention to the movements of the leader of the group. The coordinates of where Sandora and I usually stay are roughly
This is the place that Xi Ling is most familiar with.
This can explain why Xiling always stays in Sylvia's dessert shop: this place is simply Sandora's second paradise - by the way, Sandora's first paradise is the kitchen at home.
Speaking of Xiling, her life in Shadow City is very comfortable. This girl always walks around in a leisurely manner. In addition to going to the research center to cooperate with Tavel's various experiments, she has nearly twenty tasks every day.
Hours are spent in idleness, and I really envy her idle life. However, according to Pao Pao, the workload that Xi Ling has to undertake every day is actually extremely huge: basically every person who is mentally concerned
The Xiling apostles in the network are constantly uploading and downloading data through her, but Xiling himself never seems to realize that he still has these jobs: all data exchanges at this level are handled by the underlying protocol of the spiritual network, and Xiling herself
As the highest level consciousness of this network, she can't even feel those things. This is the reason why Xi Ling's spiritual network has been able to operate normally after Xi Ling has been wandering outside for so many years: most of the work has been carried out by the "subconscious mind" of this mental network.
"Noodle" is done, Xiling, who is a supervisor, spends her days leisurely like an old cadre who has retired for seven or eight years - no. As soon as I see her silly face with no motivation, I can't help but think of putting it on my desk.
With that pile of reports, I have to quickly divert my attention.
"Hey. Long time no see." I shook my head, put the little doll on the table, and then reacted instantly and put the little guy on the chair (the little doll was very careful about her image outside, she felt like she was being
It is very shameful to treat a person as a doll and put it on a table or similar place, but I don’t have this worry at home), while raising his hand to greet Xi Ling. "You have changed your image again?"
The tall girl with long black hair and straight hair had her eyes completely on Sylvia from just now. When she heard the voice, she suddenly raised her head and noticed my arrival. She stood up in a panic and walked awkwardly.
A decent military salute: "Hey, hello, Your Majesty. I saw an image in the shared data link that I really like. Once it becomes like this, I can't change it back. Report completed!"
Me: "...Well, it's very your style. By the way, how long has Sylvia been sleeping?"
My eyes fell on Sylvia. This silver-haired mole was still sleeping soundly on the table. She neither noticed my movements nor seemed to pay any attention to Xi Ling. As a store manager, she
Such an image is really unbearable to witness: she will always live in her own little world. For her, the stimulation from the outside world must be filtered to 80 or 90%, right?
"I don't know, she was sleeping when I came here," Xi Ling replied seriously, "I'm waiting for her to wake up. When she wakes up, I can eat... Oh, and I can also give it to Ta by the way.
Vel brought some snacks back, and Tavel asked me to bring some snacks back."
I was surprised: "Ah? Tavel eats too?"
Then I felt that this question seemed strange. It took me ten seconds to react: Usually Tavel’s image of an iron man who “works day and night, with thousands of threads engaged in scientific research” has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The man who can lead several basketball courts
Quality projection, I and my three-shift science geek have almost become a special species in my mind. Suddenly I know that she can eat and drink normally. This shock to me is definitely no less than that of an ordinary person seeing his father.
When mom goes to work, she pours lubricant into her ankles...
Xi Ling was also stunned by this wonderful rhetorical question, but she is the type who easily forgets things she doesn't understand. She was soon diverted by my words: "Speaking of which, these two days
How does it feel to have a batch of special 'nodes' integrated into your network?"
The special "nodes" in my mouth are none other than a large group of fallen apostles headed by Haran.
Hundreds of thousands of fallen apostles were officially integrated into the New Empire Spiritual Network the afternoon before yesterday - of course, since the purification of some fallen apostles has not yet been completed, they were separately mounted in an isolated network segment.
The superior nodes are Xiaoxue and I. Through the information disturbance generated by the two void creatures, the low-level fallen apostles mounted in the network can be purified. This is the fastest way for us to reverse the transformation of the fallen apostles. Regardless of the isolation network
Duan is still the main network of the empire. As long as it is based on the spiritual connection of the apostle node, it will definitely intersect with Xiling. This is determined by the network architecture, and there is no possibility of detour. Strictly speaking, "Xiling" is not an independent entity.
As a "clear individual", she is the aggregated will generated by tens of billions of Xiling apostles as nodes. Because her will level in the network is so high, fallen apostles and normal apostles are the same to her.
There is no difference: it can only be counted as one node, and the information that a node can represent can only be in two states: "passed" and "unpassed". In the past, our network did not have the individual "Xiling", the fallen apostle connected to the network
It has not had any visible impact on the network itself, and now we have an additional "super network administrator" that cannot be blocked, and there are so many captured soldiers under Harlan. I am slightly worried about whether Xiling will suffer from this.
The bad... pollution.
Although it's not a good thing to say, before Harlan's soldiers are completely purified, they are indeed the most dangerous source of pollution in the empire. Hanging them online requires hundreds of safety protocols. The potential harm of these pollution sources is obvious, and yet
Xiling still maintains a direct connection with these fallen apostles - although the connection between the two is not a direct exchange of information, and there are security protocols on the network for such situations, theoretically the chance of the latter infecting the former is zero, but this does not affect
I'm worried, right?
Xiling's expression was a little dull for a moment, and I felt like there was static electricity all around. There was a feeling of being enveloped in a force field, and I knew that this was the other party who was comprehensively checking her core program. After a moment, Xiling shook her head with a smile:
"It feels normal."
I was completely reassured, and then I looked at Sylvia with Xi Ling, wanting to see when this slow and comfortable silver-haired mole would wake up. Speaking of which, Xi Ling was really honest, she just sat like this.
Have you watched it for who knows how long and haven’t thought about going anywhere else?
"Actually, it won't be long," Xiling smiled calmly, "It will be very relaxing here, and you can forget about the Rift Valley..."
Xi Ling once again mentioned the "rift valley", which is an information fault zone in the apostle's spiritual network. A network vacuum zone that cannot be detected. This thing is an unsolved mystery, and we didn't know it until Xi Ling appeared. "
The existence of the "Rift Valley". Tavel is already running a project team specializing in detecting the "Rift Valley", but there has been no progress so far. Now that I heard Xi Ling take the initiative to mention this matter, I suddenly became interested: "The Rift Valley"
What else has changed?"
I just asked casually, not expecting to hear any new news. But Xiling actually nodded: "It seems to have shrunk a little. I carefully observed the situation near the rift valley a few days ago and found that it affected
The number of nodes has decreased by about one percent...but the Rift Valley sometimes fluctuates like this, but the fluctuation amplitude in the past has not exceeded 0.5%, and the movement this time seems to be a bit bigger."
As a creature living in the real material world, I need some derivation to understand what Xiling means: What she means is. The fracture zone of the Imperial Data Network is decreasing? There are fewer network nodes that are missing termination markers?
"Is this a good thing?" I scratched the back of my head uncertainly. It was a bit difficult to think of such a complicated question. "What did Tavel say?"
"She is trying to make an interface." A holographic projection appeared in front of Xiling. What was displayed on it was some kind of complex and huge device that seemed to occupy the entire room. There were several dormant cabin-like things in the center of the device, "You guys
Different from my way of perception, when I explain to you about the Rift Valley, you will never be able to understand 100% what it is, so Tavel wants to create such a device to completely transfer the spirits of outsiders into the network, so that you can
View the Rift Valley from the same perspective as me.”
I suddenly remembered that such a thing was mentioned in the technical report submitted by Tavel a while ago. She said that she was making a device that could share perception with Xiling and even transcode a person's soul into the apostle's spiritual network.
, of course, that's all I can remember. The report is quite detailed, but what I can understand is basically limited to the title and the conclusion at the end...
While Xiling and I were chatting, Sylvia, who was lying on the table, finally woke up. The silver-haired girl stood up and looked at the two guests in confusion: "Oh, Chen,
And Xi Ling, are you here?"
"I want to eat," Xiling stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, creating a holographic projection of a lot of snacks, "That's it, two portions, and Tavel also wants one."
Sylvia looked at the pile of pastries that needed to be processed on site, nodded, and then looked at me with a questioning look. I took the boring little dozing doll next to her and gave her: "I am taking care of the child.
Come on, you can get her whatever she wants."
Sylvia conveniently tucked the little doll under her arm and went to work in the back of the store. It's incredible to say that this silver-haired mole is usually so slow that it's almost in the late stages of Parkinson's disease, but it only makes snacks without delay.
Things - of course, only when making snacks. If you ask her to serve out the snacks after making them, she will basically starve to death. According to Sylvia herself, she used to open a jewelry store and often made small snacks by herself.
Shit, it won't delay things then - it's simply inexplicable.
I thought about this issue for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: Sylvia's symptoms of retardation are probably limited to when she is communicating with others or focusing on the outside world. She seems to be a normal person when she is busy in her own little world.
Listening to the movement behind the store, Xiling smiled contentedly: "Okay, Tavel will have breakfast soon."
I was stunned and turned my neck stiffly ninety degrees, looking at the setting sun outside, and the afterglow of the setting sun filled the streets...
Xiling actually brought breakfast to Tavel! She watched Sylvia sleeping here all day long!
I hope Tavel is not as stubborn as Xiling or Sylvia. She will starve to death sooner or later if she deals with these two living treasures... If the apostle can starve to death.
Looking at this small store, I suddenly remembered something Xiaoxue accidentally mentioned when she met Halan two days ago:
Harlan liked Sylvia's waterless round cakes very much.
Now Harlan is still in the state of returning to the factory for major repairs. Sandora and I worked together to open several holes in him, and it will probably take two or three days to repair them. I guess Harlan and Bella Vela know each other, but no
I know what his expression will be when he sees the current Sylvia. After he is "discharged", maybe he should take him to this small shop and let him see what the waterless round cake and Sylvia are.
——I maliciously began to speculate on what the scene would be like when the two "former fallen emperors" met. Now this Sylvia is simply a collapsed version of the original Bella Vera...
The little doll and I ate a full stomach of cakes, biscuits and snacks before going back. Before leaving, I made an agreement with Xiling to play at her house next time - well, that is, after Tavel's conversion device is completed.
Take a look at the Internet to see what the world looks like in Xiling’s eyes. Before I left, I packed up all the snacks left by Sylvia and took them back as a gift to Sandora: Anyway, Sylvia had a whole
Hardly anything was sold that day, so I almost moved everything out of her display window and behind the counter.
Xiling packed away several boxes of pastries, and before leaving, she was still saying happily that Tavel could finally have breakfast - I won't complain about whether eating these things for breakfast will make me fat, Tavel is not a human being anyway, I
I just want to complain about Xi Ling’s wonderful world view: She lacks effective perception of the environment in which we “outsiders” live, and does not understand what people’s work and rest habits are like in the real world. She still stubbornly believes that it is morning because “
Tavel hasn't had breakfast yet." I looked at the sky outside and it was almost dark, and I thought that Xi Ling was right: Tavel at least has a plan for tomorrow morning...
"You're a doll, what's the point of eating?" I returned home carrying a small lamp and told my sister that we had eaten dinner outside today. Then I started researching the doll's digestive problems - because she ate it.
She had almost as many snacks as I did. I held the little girl’s chin and studied her neat white teeth until she bit my thumb and chewed it hard twice.
"Idiot, this is alchemy technology, you don't understand." The doll-sized girl raised her chin and said with an impressive look. Then she jumped off the ground and ran to the dining table to grab buns: She has a big appetite, and the doll has to grow too.
Are you taller?
After dinner, Shandora would eat some dessert as usual, so I took out all the snacks I had packed and brought with Sylvia and shared them with the whole family - Shandora shared it alone.
When it was 90% of the time and I was sharing snacks, I noticed that someone seemed to be missing from the house: the fox who had a strong presence in every sense of the word seemed to be missing.
"Where did the fox go?" I held a bag of animal biscuits and looked around. These biscuits were prepared for her. I felt like a poor guy holding up meat bones to call the husky at home. I deeply regretted doing this.
Why did you raise a second-rate person...
"I don't know, I ran out before eating." Qian Qian said without raising her head. She was busy soaking the biscuits in the milk. After the biscuits were almost soft, she picked them up with a spoon and ate them: this was how she ate the biscuits.
Weird habits, I haven’t changed them since I was six years old.
Of course, her habit is completely incomparable with Sandora's: Sandora is used to smearing mustard on biscuits and eating them with sweet flour sauce. She always has a cup of 1982-year-old pickle soup on hand. Her way of eating is popular.
When I go to the whole world, I estimate that I will immediately embody the spirit of great unity of the people of the world, which is a test of people's psychological quality.
Just when I was about to call that idiot fox home for dinner from my spiritual connection, a space door suddenly opened in the living room, and a messy golden fur ball rolled out of it.
In fact, she ran out, but you have to understand that the fox's tail occupies a larger area than her body. When she runs around, she looks like a rolling golden fur ball.
The fox ran out of the space door and ran straight to the direction where the smell of food was. She looked completely dominated by animal instincts. I grabbed her tail and made the fox fairy realize that there was a circle of people around. I noticed
There was mud everywhere on her body, her tail was balled up in a mess, and even a handful of hair on her ears fell out: she was in an unprecedented state of embarrassment.
"You went to fight with the dog again!"
My voice suddenly rose an octave, and I was almost mad at this fox fairy who was getting more and more degenerate as he lived.
The fox's ears droop - this is the default meaning.
I pinched her ears dumbfounded: "You are a thousand-year-old demon fox, and you won a fight with a dog without showing your face!"
The fox turned away: "...lost..."
I:"……"
The whole family: "..."
This guy went to fight with a dog and lost!
I asked with a shocked expression, but I figured I knew what was going on: The fox went to Avalon to find an old friend, and met a vicious dog wandering around the temple area. Of course, the key to the problem was not how vicious the dog was.
,The crux of the problem is——
The dog's name was Cerberus, and he was raised by Ding Dong to guard the temple garden area.
The fox and the three-headed hellhound have been fighting for nearly two hours, with zero wins, two losses and three draws. She went home and planned to fill her stomach before challenging...
After working hard for a long time, I finally resisted the urge to put a collar around the fox fairy's neck, and I deeply realized that if I don't find something to do for this fox, she should go to Atlantis to find Zeus next.
