Hiro rubbed his eyebrows, feeling his temples swell and hurt.
He woke up suddenly, looked up and around, and found that he was in a food stall.
The word "dai pai dong" was told to him by his master.
According to the old man, this is a place where ordinary people in civilized times would drink, eat and brag at night.
At that time, he still didn’t believe that if ordinary people in the civilized era could eat meat every day, it wasn’t artificial meat. Who were you kidding?
The old man sneered and cursed: 'Idiot, the catastrophe of civilization hasn't started yet, what's wrong with eating meat?'
The memory of the past flashed away. Hiro breathed out and looked at the palm of his hand. The texture was fully visible. He hesitated and hit the corner of the table hard.
"Ouch--" Hiro was about to burst into tears of pain.
In reality, many people who log into cyberspace will become extremely dependent on this imaginary world.
According to the Cybermen, there is an out-of-body experience.
However, from the perspective of cyber hackers, this mental state without physical protection is very dangerous and may be interfered with or even tampered with at any time.
However, it is so real here, so real that it feels like returning to reality.
This is almost impossible to achieve in cyberspace.
He stood up and walked to the back kitchen of the food stall, where a burning aroma hit his face.
A big black man was grilling, a middle-aged woman was skillfully turning pots on the stove, and on the ground, a teenager was squatting and washing vegetables.
"Hey, wake up," the senior engineer raised his head and greeted casually.
"..."
Why are you here?
Why did you wake up before me?
Are you a cyberhacker or am I a cyberhacker?
"Get out of the way, stay out of the way!"
Hiro turned around and saw a crazy girl with a toothpick in her mouth holding several plates. She knocked him away angrily and rudely threw the plates into the sink.
"Don't be so careless. What if the plate is smashed?" the middle-aged woman said sternly.
Gox curled his lips and did not retort. He quietly poked his head out and winked at the senior engineer.
Hiro noticed that the virus on Gox's body had mysteriously disappeared when he appeared here.
He was suddenly startled and began to realize that his hacking ability seemed to have disappeared.
The middle-aged woman didn't even look back. She hit a spoon with her backhand and cursed: "Get out of here and greet the guests!"
"Mom, you are too harsh!"
After receiving this blow, Gaux screamed in pain, pinched the senior engineer's cheek in retaliation, and ran out laughing before the middle-aged woman became furious.
Those who cook cook, those who wash vegetables wash vegetables, and those who grill barbecue.
The food is in full swing outside and busy inside.
Hiro stood there, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
The middle-aged woman seemed to have noticed something and said with a smile: "Whatever the guest wants to eat, just order it and I will cook it for you."
Hiro said with some embarrassment: "I have no money."
"Get out of here if you don't have money!" Gaux's voice came from not far away.
"You're looking for a fucking beating!" the middle-aged woman yelled angrily, rolled up her sleeves and was about to beat the other person.
"No, no," the senior engineer quickly stopped him.
"Forget it, for your sake," the middle-aged woman sighed when she saw the prototype of the rich woman Ai Ai, her face softened, she pinched Shota's little face.
"It's so cute."
The middle-aged woman looked at Ah Hong, thought for a moment, and said, "There are almost no cigarettes in the store. You can take the money and buy two cigarettes outside."
This middle-aged woman's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and Hiro unconsciously followed her orders.
Hiro took the money and walked out the door in a daze, his mind filled with questions.
Where is this?
Why am I here?
Why do they treat each other like a family?
He carefully recalled that in his impression, the artificial intelligence of the mechanical matrix wreaked havoc in Virus City, and he teleported away with this group of AIs. He also remembered that the data migration this time was extremely slow, as if the network speed was only a few KB.
This should be my last thought.
Hiro was walking in the streets of what should be a civilized era. There were not many new people on the street who had been transformed. Everyone was holding ancient communication devices, a thing called a mobile phone.
Walking to the door of a cigarette shop, Hong said casually: "Boss, two cigarettes."
"What brand?"
At the counter, a man in his early 30s smiled.
Hiro glanced at the counter and pointed at a cigarette with a reasonable price, "This——"
He raised his head and saw a familiar face, his mouth slowly opened.
"Senior brother!?"
…
"Finally the work is over."
The middle-aged woman wiped her hands, brought two bottles of beer, a stack of peanuts, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to the senior engineer.
As soon as the senior engineer took it in his mouth, he was snatched away by Gaux. He blew out a big smoke ring and gave the senior engineer a provocative look. As a result, he was glared at by the middle-aged woman, who immediately squatted on the threshold obediently.
.
The big black man next to him walked over with a smile, holding a barbecue in his hand, and the two of them squatted on the threshold and started eating barbecue.
"I already know your purpose."
The middle-aged woman, no, it should be the cyberdance girl Alyssa spoke.
Gao Gong was not surprised. The other party was a search engine in cyberspace, and she knew everything about cyberspace.
I have been looking for her for a while, and if I hadn't met Gaux by chance, I might not have actually been able to see her.
The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes, blew out a smoke ring, and glanced at the tattooed girl.
"strangeness?"
"Kind of."
"I hope you won't use everything in reality here, and don't treat this child as another Gao Yuanyuan."
"I see."
Gao Gong nodded. Ever since he met Gaux, he had understood that the two personalities were actually separated to some extent.
If you really try to get them together, something will happen.
"It's very interesting. There are very few people who know this method now. How do you know about 'data enlightenment'?"
The senior engineer shrugged: "My memory from my previous life tells me that I can do this."
Alyssa, a middle-aged woman, stared at the senior engineer for a while.
"Interesting, I didn't realize you were lying."
"There's no point in lying in front of you, is there?"
"Of course, but although 'enlightenment' is just a piece of cake for me, why should I help you?"
"I can make a deal with you."
The senior engineer stretched out his palm, and the palm gradually became transparent. Even in the 'small world' created by the other party, the 'missing user data' still worked.
"A very interesting ability!" Alyssa's eyes lit up.
"You can borrow it to escape the deep web."
Every big data monster can be said to be a product of the Deep Web. They are 'software' developed by the Deep Web, one of the three mother cities, in order to strengthen its control over cyberspace.
They have indeed helped the Deep Web control cyberspace, but as the largest traffic entrances and exits, once they awaken their personalities, they will be willing to get rid of the Deep Web.
Some of them succeeded, some failed.
If you fail, your consciousness will be erased, and you will remain silent for a while until a new conscious personality is born due to data enlightenment.
Then there was a new round of pursuit.
"But this alone can't convince me," Alyssa unexpectedly refused.
Gao Gong frowned slightly, and he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
The big data monsters he knows, or rather, the players know, refer to them after the World Corporate War, that is, after the Electronic Brain Project.
At that time, the electronic brain project had been successfully implemented, all life on the planet had been transformed into electronic brain creatures, and the computing power of cyberspace had been fully absorbed by the three mother cities.
At that point in time, the 'Deep Web''s control over cyberspace could be said to be unprecedented, reaching a historical peak.
In that case, these big data monsters were basically either suppressed, or lived a miserable life on the way to being suppressed.
But at this point in time, there is still more than half a year before the world war, and the electronic brain project has not yet started. The big data monsters are living quite comfortably with the help of the "Cyber Network Protocol".
To put it simply, I haven’t experienced any beating from society.
The Alyssa that Senior Engineer remembered was not the one in front of her.
This shows that this person will definitely be suppressed in the future, and the personality in front of him will be shattered, until after countless data enlightenments, a new electronic personality, a new Alyssa, will be born.
