When the virtual world had just switched from "inside" to "outside", the "Chaser" had already punched Kangna.
Obviously, the pursuer cannot enter the other world, but it can determine the location of Kangna and others through the movements of the "zombie" in the other world, and rush to the scene in advance to intercept them.
"Pop!"
"Spider Girl" has no time to react. It takes a certain amount of time for her to spray the spider silk and apply it. Neo has no good way to face this kind of close attack. He can only draw his gun and aim it at the pursuer's head, hoping to
Interrupting its movements has no effect except knocking off its hat, revealing its shiny bald head.
"Chi-hum——"
But as a strange sound sounded, like cloth being torn or a sand wall being penetrated, the pursuer froze in place.
Gwen and Neo turned to look at the target of the attack, Kangna, and found that she had stabbed the pursuer from the front with the big sword.
This is undoubtedly very unreasonable. The pursuer's fist has not been blocked. Even if it is stabbed by this blow, which is a fatal attack, the punch that has been used should not stop, but should hit the target under the influence of inertia.
Na is right.
"Hmm...hey," Kangna kicked her pursuer, then used all her strength to pull out the big sword: "This is called 'counterattack' or 'dodge'. It only needs to be launched when the enemy's attack is about to hit you.
If you attack, you will strike first and cause heavy damage to the enemy, but you will not suffer any damage."
"Sounds like a setting in some game that mainly uses cold weapons to fight." Gwen muttered.
"Since this 'Mr. Savior' is from the kung fu system, it is normal for someone from the sword and halberd system to appear... right?" Kangna looked at Neo uncertainly.
"Since projectile weapons such as firearms cannot control the trajectory of the bullet after firing, they can be easily dodged by us. In contrast, the power of cold weapons depends on the user and poses a greater threat to us. If
It's normal to have relevant rules attached." Neo seemed to have remembered something: "A group of 'redundant data' I know like to use cold weapons very much. I don't know what's happened now."
"Then I am a superpower?" Gwen answered: "If the strength of a 'superhero' will not be greatly affected after entering the matrix, why don't you find more similar people?"
"In fact, my comrades are basically similar people. We also have an organization that communicates with each other, but the overall number of people is a drop in the bucket compared to the countless 'agents' in the matrix." Neo shook his head: "While we are here,
The pursuer has not been 'resurrected'. Let's leave as soon as possible. If we are pulled into the other world again on the way, just ensure the minimum hiding place around us. The movement of clearing the entire rooftop just now is still too loud."
After Neo finished speaking, he jumped off the rooftop without waiting for Kangna and Gwen to ask questions about the organization or other matters.

A few hours later.
[Woo——Wow——]
"[STARS——!]"
With the piercing air-raid sirens, the burning city returned to its original state again, and the roar of the pursuers also appeared.
“That guy can be renamed ‘The Haunter’.” Gwen put up an awning with her hands and looked at the “chaser” two streets away, charging towards her like an angry bull.
In the process of being chased and defeated many times, its appearance gradually collapsed, turning from a normal giant in a windbreaker into a ragged monster.
At first glance, the first thing you see is a body and arms that are far stronger than ordinary people, with a large number of raised blood vessels, then half of the face with no skin and only muscles, and teeth as sharp as steel needles in the huge mouth. Finally,
It is a ferocious tentacle that spurts out from its back, like an octopus, and is constantly swaying with its movements.
"How about we still use the old method of 'I attract attention and you take the opportunity to attack'?" Kangna said helplessly as she looked at the pursuers who were destroying objects that hindered her movement.
For some unknown reason, this "chaser" did not attack the "hacker" that should be its first priority, that is, Neo. Instead, it chased Kangna all the way.
Neo was also puzzled by this, and the final conclusion was that it might be set to attack people with stars, and Kangna's police uniform happened to have a lot of stars.
In this protracted escape battle, Kangna had a lot of fun with backstabbing, rebounding, and counterattacking at first, but the big sword couldn't hold up anymore. After using it seven or eight times, in a frontal counterattack,
He was directly twisted into a mess by his pursuers.
Connor was not able to use the "spiral sword" as skillfully as John, so she could only throw it away, pick up a gun, and fly the monster's kite with her steady "hatred".
"...No," Neo looked at the building that appeared next to him after breaking away from the "other world" with a somewhat surprised expression: "We have arrived. You go in and destroy the communication center. I will stop it."
Is there anything strange here?
Kangna turned around and looked around, and found that the "destination" was a tall building with the name "Daily Planet" on it. There was nothing unusual about it either from the outside or from the indoor scene seen through the door.
"Don't be deceived by the appearance, this is indeed the "communication center"," Neo turned around, faced the pursuers, and said quickly: "Due to its special characteristics, you go through every door of this building.
, may arrive at a different location. Please try as many times as possible to find the core of the communication center and destroy it as soon as possible. The building itself may not deliberately make things difficult for us, but it will provide convenience for the 'pursuers'. If we
Hide in, it’s the only reason it will attack us——"
Boom——!
The pursuer who was running wildly aimed at Kangna and punched her, but Neo blocked her head-on. The air waves generated by the clash of fists even blew into the ash in the surrounding streets in divergent patterns.
However, under such a close-range impact, the "Daily Planet" did not respond at all, looking out of place among the surrounding ordinary buildings with a large number of broken glass.
"Then let's go. Come on, Mr. Savior!" Kangna didn't waste any more nonsense. She shouted to Neo, who had already begun to fight each other with fists, and rushed into the "Daily Planet" with Gwen.
————
Whoosh——
"this……"
Kangna felt that she and Gwen had almost entered the door front and back, but they appeared in a completely different place. The "front desk" they saw when entering the door had long disappeared, and was replaced by a densely packed cubicle, like a large
An office-like room.
There are three exits in this office... Kangna was about to choose one at random, but she saw the little boy wearing a plaid hat that she had seen in real life before landing in Normandy. He was originally in a certain cubicle.
He was typing away at the antique computer, but when he found Kangna, he immediately jumped off his chair and ran away from the nearby office door.
"Wait!" Kangna, who has seen many wonderful supernatural situations, naturally followed closely.
Regardless of the reason why he appears in the matrix, his current behavior must be... to guide himself.
After chasing the little boy through four or five rooms, Kangna basically confirmed this idea. From the employee office, to the equipment maintenance room, to the conference room, to the press conference room, to the president's office, the importance of the rooms he passed was one.
Bigger than one.
However, if his purpose is to "find his family", then maybe he will not take himself to the communication core? But compared to aimlessly trying door after door, his current action should be closer to the core.
Buzz——
"Huh?" After stepping into a door again, Kangna couldn't help but be startled by the drastically changed environment.
This is a strange, pure white spherical room with four walls made up of countless surveillance screens, which makes people feel a little dizzy. At least half of the screens are "live broadcasting" the battle between Neo and the pursuers, and the other part is tracking
Gwen was scurrying around, and the rest reflected Kang Na herself, who looked confused.
Unlike before, Kangna did not see the little boy in this room. Instead, there was a man sitting on a swivel chair in the middle of the room, wearing a small golden crown, wearing an exquisite robe with white background and red edges, with silver hair and red eyes.
The girl, she was tilting her head slightly and supporting her chin with one hand, looking at Kang Na who suddenly came in.
"Ilia?" Kangna exclaimed after slightly recognizing the girl's appearance.
"[I can use that name,]" the girl spoke in an electronic voice. Her tone was almost the same as Illya's, but with a sense of seriousness that she did not possess: "[However, in order to facilitate the distinction,
You can call me 'The Original'.]"
"Okay, but what does that mean?" Connor shrugged.
"[You are the 'Last Work',]" the First Work said: "[Perhaps this title can help you understand a little bit what we are about to talk about.]"
"..."
At this moment, even though Kangna had become a human and there was no database support, all her memories and experiences since her "birth" still rolled back into her mind like a whirlpool.
Why is she so special? Why is she valued by various "surreal beings"? Why can she do many things that her kind can't do? Why does she always appear on the cusp of various crises inexplicably? And she
...Who exactly is it?
After her thoughts receded, Kangna seemed to understand a lot, but she seemed to understand nothing. Based on the information she had heard so far, she deliberately made a very unreliable inference:
"You are...my sister?"
"[...]" Illya's "original work" slapped her forehead hard, and the ill-fitting golden crown on her head slid down and was caught by her.
Kang Na blinked innocently.
“[Let’s leave aside the deeper issues that have nothing to do with the current situation,]” the original novel put the golden crown back on his head: “[Let me tell you a story, how an irresponsible father became Batman.
