"Sofia, do you believe that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil? I don't believe it, but I like that evil people will be punished by evil people."
When she was first arranged to be "transferred", Sophia thought it was what Pan had said before, that she would be moved to a more spacious and clean place with a TV, air conditioning, and a decent bed.
However, when she was stunned first and then woke up again, the space around her was larger and more eerie.
This place is basically an underground torture chamber, with various torture instruments everywhere, many of which are stained with old blood.
There are also some flesh and blood specimens hanging on the walls, some of which look like alien species, and some of which are obviously human.
And she was shackled and handcuffed, trapped in a large iron cage, wearing a strange triangular helmet on her head that could shield extraordinary abilities, and was fastened around her neck to prevent it from falling away.
Even the shabby bed is gone, and if you want to sleep, you can only curl up on the iron bars of the cage.
Instead of getting better, her situation only became a hundred times worse.
At first, Sophia almost broke down and shouted that she wanted to see Pan, but now she is very silent.
The crazy woman in the white dress hasn't done anything to her yet, but a guillotine is hanging on her head.
Right now, the mad woman was sitting on a wooden chair beside the iron cage, talking.
"We've known each other for so long and I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Nimue."
The woman suddenly took off the internet cowboy mask she had been wearing, revealing the smiling face of a girl younger than herself.
Sophia's heart sank. She didn't feel happy at all because she saw the other party's true face. She didn't want to see it.
In this case, it will only increase her danger.
"Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and be kind to yourself."
The girl named Nimue really said this, "Because your death is not far away. Sophia, you are of no use anymore. You are just a trouble and a time bomb now."
"No, no!" Sophia said quickly, "I am a blood eater. I can provide information inside the bank..."
"It's useless. The situation outside has changed. The people who did you have another big deal, so they have to transfer you. Your Pan Ke is now powerful and not dead. He is doing better and has made a name for himself.
Already."
Nimue chuckled lightly, "All the street dog girls in the city want to sleep with him."
"Pan, he..." Sophia felt unspeakable, "Can I see him? Please tell him for me."
Nimue is not afraid of revealing information, and keeps hiding her face just to increase the psychological pressure on the other party.
From the moment everyone went to mess with Sophia, too much had been exposed. The key was not to let her run away.
If she ran away, it would not be difficult to find the fish pond. There are too many similarities, the operator, the doll, and the old man Kitano are related. If you check the middlemen in Kabukicho one by one, you can always match them. Lindsay also said that his
name.
"Pan of yours is very busy now. He has to deal with many things and many women. Oh, by the way, he is also very good with Elizabeth Sterling, the old friend you mentioned, they hang out together.
"
Nimue shrugged slightly, "So, you don't need to provide those outdated bank information."
Sophia's expression, which was covered by the helmet, suddenly changed. Elizabeth and Pan were mixed up?
How could it be possible... This guy named Nimue is talking nonsense...
But Elizabeth had been active on the streets and was also in the Walled City that day, so the two of them were able to mingle together.
Her Pan, her overdrive...
"Are you thinking about the Walled City? It has nothing to do with that. They say they made another big deal, and the red-haired Liz had a hand in it, and she did it to Santo and the Metropolitan Police Department. You can't go out on the street to take a look, it's quite
What a pity.”
Nimue smiled again, "Retribution, fate and all that stuff are ridiculous, but I discovered an interesting situation."
She picked up a large book and shook it. It was a dictionary of names of various cultures.
"People say that names are a rare thing in Streaming City. I have heard too many nicknames since I was a child. I often wonder where these people came from, where they went, and how they got such nicknames.
, what were their original names, and what was their story?”
She thought, "Just like the 'Eyeball Collector', who is he and what is his name, I really want to know."
"..." Sophia immediately started thinking hard, but she had no relevant information in her mind and didn't understand these street legends at all.
"I have a fascination with names." Nimue added, "Names have power. If you execute a person without a name or a story, it will not be exciting no matter what, and it is no different from dismantling a rag doll.
"But the other party has a name, and that's where the fun comes in. The other party is a living person."
Sophia breathed calmly and felt uneasy, but she didn't know what she wanted to say after going around in such a circle...
"And your name." Nimue turned over the dictionary in her hand, "Sophia Amick.
"It says here that Amick is the evolution of Emmerich. Emmerich is composed of 'king, noble' and 'home, house', which means palace; Sophia means wisdom.
"Sophia Amick, the wise woman in the palace."
Nimue couldn't help but burst into laughter and looked around at the dungeon torture chamber, "Isn't this the palace?"
Sophia was so angry that she was trembling slightly. She was born noble and was originally a wise princess in the palace. Now...
"Since your name is Wisdom, you must be quite smart?"
Nimue closed the dictionary and stood up, "Hurry up and think of a way for yourself, whether it's a change or anything, there's really not much time left for you. Why should we keep you? It's okay.
How can I keep you? Find a way.
"If you can't give me a solution, even if Pan wants to help you, he can't help you. Then I'll have to play."
Nimue said and walked towards the dungeon stairs, "I also checked that Elizabeth means oath, and it seems to match yours."
Sophia gritted her teeth to prevent herself from screaming. These street dogs, Pan, Elizabeth...
What else have they done? It’s been a lot of fun lately...
I can't die, I don't want to die, I can't just die like this.
There must be a way.
Sophia looked at the dark and dead surroundings, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She had been thinking about it every day, and she could neither think of a way to escape nor a way to chain herself. Now she could not see Pan.
The silence allowed her to clearly feel how she was losing weight, aging, and decaying.
Princess in the palace? Just a prisoner in the dungeon.
The darkness continued to invade her, making her, a person who thought she belonged to the darkness, suffer.
All kinds of emotions are entangled, and all kinds of voices are rumbling:
I want to live, I want revenge, I want to kill these street dogs, I want to live a better life than Elizabeth... I belong in the palace, I don't belong in the dungeon... Pan, Pan in overdrive... I want to be a good blood eater
For those who have interests first, the best interests, I have to think of a way to survive, I have to gain their trust...
Sophia tightly covered her head covered by the helmet with both hands. She could only press the helmet but not the blond hair on her head.
Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds? She doesn't believe it either.
The so-called morality is a fragile thing. It is a matter of time. People will change, and all vows will change.
She didn't believe that Elizabeth was not like that. Elizabeth didn't change when she was twenty, but she didn't change when she was thirty or forty.
The more you experience, the faster you become!
But in this chaotic mood, another confused thought flashed through Sophia:
If I had kept my childhood vow and chosen the hero series, would it be any different now?
…
The golden program can be changed a lot, but this brings dangers.
Although Sakai Kao was not frightened crazy by the upgrade procedure, he was really confused. Gu He felt that this matter was too important to talk nonsense about, so he didn't even tell Sakai Shukichi, but told Miss Ayin first.
Ayane Kumiko was also greatly surprised, this was already a program of the level of a strange person.
The four role-playing modes of the upgrade program are not fatal, but the function of "getting through the group" must be kept secret.
"It must not be leaked out, otherwise it will put Hua Qing to death."
No matter whether Sakai Kana has installed the upgrade program or not, if it is known that the program was compiled using her personality materials, people will not care about the source code or how many other programs have been added. Sakai Kana is valuable.
Gu He agreed to this and followed Miss Caiyin's instructions not to tell the recovery club.
I won’t share it yet, but if a bunch of new second-programmer actors in the Resurrection Association install this, it will lead to disaster.
Moreover, what the wilderness needs most is not to strengthen the large group. In the wilderness and the cargo area, the battle between alien species is straight forward. Fight when you go up, and run away after hitting. In such a battlefield, three bodies are often more effective than a large group.
Another point is that to run the transformation well, not only actors are needed, but also a powerful doll container.
Because all the programs in the large group are run on the body nerves of the container, when several people move their souls together, they take up a lot of capacity. If several programs need to be run at the same time, even this overdrive doll can't run.
move.
Now that the software is there, the hardware must also be strong.
The upgrading process is a big breakthrough, but it is not suitable for all situations.
Gu He is going to clean up the Cowherd value again and change the source code, and ask Miss Qianba to make a new program for actors, and then give back the help of the Recovery Society.
As for the upgrading process, I will share it when the time is right. He and Ms. Sakai should get familiar with it first and see what happens.
The Laurel program requires the personality trait of "bone-blood burning". Whether "bone-blood" specifically refers to bone-blooded people needs to be studied, but no one can pretend to be the spirit of the beast. I'm afraid even fewer people can pretend to be this, so we have to check it out first.
.
In the end, the only people who knew the inside story of the upgrade procedure were Sakai Shukichi, Lindsay, Lorna and Elizabeth.
"Hua Qing, my sister..." Sakai Shukichi looked at Gu He in shock, "Xiaohe, are you too drunk, my sister?" After confirming again and again, Sakai Shukichi cheered: "No need to help her save the dowry.
, whoever marries her will get rich, or they will all be ruined, and it’s useless to ask for money! All my money can be used to buy wine.”
"You've always been like that!" Sakai Kao said angrily, "Stop drinking a few drinks and don't tell anyone."
Gu He was also a little worried, but actually he didn't want to tell the drunkard.
But Miss Ayane said that even though Xiuji looked drunk all day long, he never leaked secrets and was very measured.
As Hua Qing's brother, Xiuji needs to know.
The reason for Lindsay to know is that he is a brain in the fish pond. This change has a great impact on various tasks and things. Only when he knows can he create the best drama.
"It's fun." Lindsay was very excited after hearing this, "If we continue like this in the fish pond, we can also set off even bigger fireworks."
Lindsay was already promoted to level 3 programmer. Gu He told him not to install K-level programs so quickly, "Jianbao may give you the source code again in a few days. It appreciates you very much."
Lindsay is in overdrive, and his strength will have a great impact on the fish pond.
Gu He currently only has one line of source code for the control division, and is still two lines short of being able to create a K-level program.
Lindsay smiled and responded casually, but it seemed that she had already made her own arrangements.
It was Gu He who suggested that Lorna and Elizabeth should also be told. He wanted Lorna to know that since she was so good at fighting and had such a close relationship with him and the fish pond, she would be a member of the big group.
Besides, Lorna is going to rescue Rawdon-Ludd, and she has already counted him in, and he may still help her now...
"Just put it on." Lorna was very disdainful of Sakai Kao's hesitation, "If you are unlucky, you can die, but if you are lucky, you can't die. It's dangerous if you don't pretend. How can it be more dangerous if you become stronger?"
It was these words that made Sakai Kao make up his mind.
She needs to become stronger so that she can protect herself and others!
Gu He was very busy this night.
The programs have all been compiled, one is K-level and the other is Q-level, but the program installation packages are very large. Lorna's Ms. Sakai's database capacity is limited, so he cannot transfer it directly.
One way is to first transfer the program installation package to the helmet device, and then let them install it on the device.
But Gu He used another method, connecting with them one after another, using himself as an installation device to save trouble and keep it secret. The program was installed into the body's nerves, and the speed was selected according to his own nerve talent level.
Lorna in the sixth gear took 10 minutes to install the laurel crown, and Sakai Kao in the third gear took 20 minutes to install the upgrade.
After that, Gu He had to make a trip to Elizabeth's suite.
Although there was no one else in the elegant suite living room, even Jianbao had been expelled, the two of them were sitting on the sofa, and the sympathetic connection was still talking in their minds. He told her the secret of the upgrading process.
Firstly, he trusts her, and secondly, we are all in the same boat. She and Hongyu are keeping him safe. Try to keep as few secrets as possible. Once she knows, she can often make better decisions.
Ms. Caiyin felt that it was Jianbao who gave the source code. Elizabeth might not know something, so she could just take the initiative to tell her.
"This is the actor system!" Elizabeth said even more excitedly than Miss Sakai, "I have heard this rumor before, actors can play other professions. Such a large group is full of life, much better than the brain-sucking blood-eaters.
"
After hearing what she said, Gu He realized that the Blood Eater had such a cruel and tyrannical K-level program.
But it is true as Goose said, "brain-sucking" is constantly depleting, but it is full of vitality when it becomes a large group, which is just a pain for the dolls.
"What about my K-level program?" Elizabeth asked eagerly, having already seen through it.
"It's done. This program of yours is called an oath." Gu He came prepared. "Yours is rather special. There is no prompt message, and the master's instructions are vague. Maybe you can only do it by installing it yourself.
It’s clear, do you want to pretend?”
"Oath, oath." Elizabeth murmured several times, her light blue eyes getting brighter and brighter, "This is my path."
Not afraid of Brother Angel's jokes, she continued her tradition of being a second grader, which seemed to bring better luck. She raised her fist high and shouted: "Ace hero Elizabeth Sterling, the third program, the oath!"
Why are you yelling so loudly... Gu He was almost startled. The more confident she was, the more worried he became.
As for gold quality, it shouldn't be an empty program...
If you destroy this goose, it will be a big deal.
Gu He followed the same pattern while muttering, acting as her installation equipment.
【Program matching】
[Do you want to install the heroic K-level program "Oath"? 】
Elizabeth clicked OK in her mind, and both she and Gu He suddenly saw several new prompt boxes popping up:
She is in overdrive and can install even K-level programs very quickly.
[Hero’s Oath: Live as fire, die as heavy rain, reshape order, and redeem the world.]
[Heroes gain comprehensive growth, and taking oaths will increase the level of the program; heroes fight with the power of oaths and can carry out powerful attacks; heroes can release oath fields, and in the fields, the hearts of allies selected by the heroes will receive oath power bonuses and spirit
Patience increases; when a hero joins a large group, each personality automatically gains a pledge bonus.]
[If it is a person who swears the same oath, the bonus will increase in sequence.]
[Same Oath: People who have the same or similar oath as the hero. The hero can sense the power of the oath from those who share the oath. The closer the oath is, the stronger the oath power. There is no limit to the number of people who share the oath. 】
[Shared oath: For those who make a common oath with the hero, the number of co-sworn people that the hero can create increases with the increase in the oath process. The co-sworn people will create the star shining effect with the hero. 】
Damn it... Gu He was a little dazzled by the sudden information.
But it is obvious that this is not simple! It can not only improve oneself, but also add teammates, and can also use the power of sensing oath to identify like-minded people who share the oath, and share the oath, what kind of star shining effect...
Elizabeth was also looking at these prompt boxes, her heart was surging, and her sensory data was glowing.
"Brother Angel, the master has given us a bright path."
Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. The stronger the goose, the safer he would be.
But what a master is, it’s not just his skill that’s good, it’s all his synthesis.
The 3 minutes of installation time flew by and Elizabeth couldn't wait to try and explore this new program.
Gu He also disconnected the empathy. Elizabeth walked around outside the suite and immediately understood what a "vower" meant. When she concentrated on the induction, she could see from Judy holding the sword and master Wu Zhen.
Feel the power of oath.
It is a different kind of feeling, coming from their spiritual information.
But from Ayako, there is no such feeling.
She knew that both Judy and Master Wu Zhen wanted to change the city and slay the dragon. This was everyone's oath.
Although there are differences in understanding, Judy's goal is to save the bank's mother, and Wu Zhen's goal is to save all sentient beings, but their directions are the same.
Ayako is different. Ayako also works for Hongyu, but her dream is to live in a house in the Garden District. Ayako has not yet had such an idea: through reform, the entire Liuguang City can be a Garden District, an Eden Lake District.
Elizabeth returned to the living room of the suite and looked at the angel on the sofa again, intently trying to sense the power of oath from him.
Brother Angel's vow must be very strong.
However, she winked and tried to sense it, but it seemed like...nothing, she couldn't feel it...
Did she do something wrong or something went wrong?
"Brother Angel?" Elizabeth asked this situation in confusion, "Why is this?"
"Uh... well..." Gu He's face was expressionless. What the hell kind of program is this? Is there another sword treasure...
Wait, isn't Jianbao now the "Sword of Oath and Victory"? Could it be that Jianbao is really up to something?
How could he not have the power to make the same oath at all? He also wants the world to be good!
"Elizabeth!" Gu He took the lead seriously, "I understand some of the master's instructions."
"What?" Elizabeth was surprised, "Senior brother, tell me."
"The master said, 'Never carve a boat in search of a sword.' You taste it, you taste it carefully."
Gu He pulled it off like this and felt that it was indeed true: "The power of oath is a good thing. You can rely on this to identify those who share the oath, and you can quickly find companions and allies to form your Knights of the Round Table.
"If a person says how he wants to save the world, but you don't have the slightest bit of sympathy, you have to pay attention. But if you rely entirely on it, simply use it to judge everyone and every situation.
"Then you will lose a lot, and you will make the mistake of looking for a sword.
"The master has made an oath shield on me. I am by your side in this state to keep you alert at all times."
Elizabeth listened, understood immediately, and nodded seriously.
Even so, Ayako was not a pledger, and probably many people on the street that day were not.
Not everyone has great righteousness, but everyone can have great righteousness and can be burning with passion for a while.
Those who share the oath should not become an iron standard. A hero does not care about other people's hearts and minds, and a hero controls his stomach.
"Brother, you have learned a lesson!" Elizabeth said, "You have worked so hard to warn me."
"Well..." Gu He looked her over a few times to make sure Goose wasn't sarcastic, "It's okay, I'm your senior brother."
Then, Elizabeth talked about the co-sworn people, and she felt that she could establish two co-sworn people at present.
She doesn't fully understand the oath process, and many aspects need to be explored.
But what she can be sure of is that a hero's promise is worth a thousand dollars. In addition to lifelong vows, every vow is also very precious and is by no means just a casual talk.
"Actually, I had a co-sworn partner before..." Elizabeth couldn't help sighing, "Sophia Amick."
Gu He's heart skipped a beat. The strange man in the dungeon was taken away by Nimue. He still doesn't know what happened...
"Angel, do you know Sophia?" She briefly explained the cause and effect, "Master asked me to let it go. Sophia has her own destiny. This city has distorted many people, and the Sophia I knew before was not like that."
"Can you sense Sophia through the oath process?" Gu He asked, this is too involved.
Really, even if I want to tell Elizabeth now, I don't know how to explain or make it up.
"No." Elizabeth shook her head, "She is not a co-sworn person. I think it only counts after installing a program."
"There may be something like oath-breakers..." Gu He hesitated, "From what you said, Sophia made an oath, but she broke the oath and she changed a lot.
"Elizabeth, it is very difficult for a person to keep her oath, no matter who she is or where she is."
Elizabeth nodded heavily after hearing this, "Time will change a lot, life is a practice."
The road to fulfill her oath is also a road full of tests for herself.
"Yes, time has changed a lot. Some of them can be found, and some of them can never be found."
Gu He smiled, time had changed him, but in the past few days, he had regained some enthusiasm.
"Brother Angel, if you are willing to be my first co-sworn partner, I would be honored."
Elizabeth has bright blue eyes and a sincere tone.
The master told them to support each other and learn from each other. She and the angel would be good partners.
They can make a vow, not necessarily a big one to save the world, but having a good meal together when they are thirty also counts.
"Hmm..." Gu He was startled again. He knew very well what Elizabeth's hero's oath was. He had heard it the other day and saw it again from the prompt box just now.
Shared oath? Anyway, if it was the shared oath, he felt that he would be dishonest...
He fights for himself, and at most for his friends, not for Flowing Light City. He still thinks about Luozhou from time to time.
"Elizabeth." Gu He spoke earnestly again and refused: "I am a sharer and your senior brother. This will not change. There is no need for any more shared oaths. The number of places on your side is limited, so find someone else first."
"But..." Elizabeth frowned. When fighting side by side, those who share the oath will have greater bonuses and other effects.
Precisely because the number of places was limited, she wanted him to be the first person to swear an oath.
But seeing that the angel was resolute and might have some profound considerations, Elizabeth felt that she had to taste it carefully first, so she didn't insist, "Okay, I understand."
