The blue sky with floating sunlight, the Arab city made of stone bricks, the half-broken minaret... all in an instant, turned into a whirlpool of colorful pieces; retreating and shrinking in front of our eyes.
, like a kaleidoscope that is getting farther and farther, finally revealing the gray pipe wall again.
More than one data volume was connected to form a huge "pool" flowing with light golden light, reflecting the soft gold in the pipeline.
The dissipation of the right shoulder seemed to accelerate the melting speed of Lin Sanjiu; in the blink of an eye after Ji Shanqing disappeared, the billowing smoke quickly swallowed up the lower half of her face. The Queen of Soul screamed in shock: "
Lin Sanjiu!" After that, she heard nothing - the last thing left in her field of vision was the black shadow of the puppet master rushing towards the data objects; the shadow was eroded by the golden light and flickered.
It seems like it will disappear at any moment.
As if falling into a bottomless abyss, Lin Sanjiu lost consciousness.
Many years after this incident, she sometimes still can't help but recall the moment when she fell into darkness like death. What was it like around her at that time, and what happened?
Of course, it's not that she doesn't know the answer - she just doesn't know if that answer is true.
It seemed as if she had been floating on the deep seabed for an unknown amount of time before she was finally lifted up to the surface by gentle waves. What revived her senses was a familiar and soothing voice: "Sister, sister?"
Lin Sanjiu slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a long dream, and was still stunned for a while.
The first thing that caught her eye was Ji Shanqing's always fair and bright face. As soon as their eyes met, his watery eyes immediately flashed with joy: "Sister, are you awake?
"
"I...where am I?" Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes hard, feeling that her consciousness was intermittent, like a receiver with poor signal. "What just happened?"
"It's okay, sister," Libao approached her gently, his long hair floating around her neck, and a breeze-like breath in her hair gently rubbed her skin. He stretched out a cool hand and grabbed it.
He grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist and said, "I'm here."
"What happened?" She asked again, and her thoughts gradually became clear again. She looked down and saw that her hands, feet, and body were back, intact. She raised her head in confusion, and Lin Sanjiu glanced around.
Made a circle.
Although she could see everything clearly, she couldn't understand what she saw.
Who has ever seen a transparent space?
In the everyday world, air is naturally transparent, as are glass and many other things; but when a person's eyes pass through these transparent things, they will eventually fall on an opaque object - the earth, trees, buildings.
However, at this time, the surrounding space is filled with some kind of colorless and transparent "wave flow"; there is only this kind of wave flow. Looking through it, there is no place to land on the empty ground, because everything is transparent
of.
This kind of "wave current" was full and densely flowing past her, as if it was weightless and extremely dense and viscous. She was lifted up by the wave current and floated leisurely in mid-air.
, I couldn’t tell where I was at all.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously and found that this time, even the most powerful "glasses" could not help her clear her mind.
"Where is this place?" Lin Sanjiu was a little anxious, "Where are the puppet master and the soul queen?"
Ji Shanqing let out a long breath. He glanced at her, his eyes curling up like crescent moons: "Sister, you were just turned into a set of data in their information database by the data body."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for half a second, and couldn't help but look at his body again. "Is this an information database? But how...how am I still conscious?"
"I broke up my data, interspersed it with your data, and came in with you." Ji Shanqing explained softly, "After I came in, all my sisters also came in. What I just had to do was very complicated.
It’s simple, it just reactivates your self-awareness.”
"Break up?" Lin Sanjiu was startled by these words. She didn't take the rest of the words seriously and looked him up and down. "Are you okay?"
"It's fine."
"How are the puppet masters and the others doing?"
Ji Shanqing paused, and his smile bloomed like a peach blossom again: "I think they should still be in the light outside. Sister, don't worry, once they lose, they will also be sent here. Then I will
All we need to do is activate their consciousness. To be honest, this might actually be better."
This was indeed true. Lin Sanjiu nodded, feeling a little more at ease.
"Did you come with me to save me?" she asked, looking around - even though she looked around, it was in vain. "Why do you think it's better for them to come in?"
"Saving you is one reason," Ji Shanqing said softly. "The other reason is that it is more beneficial for us if I come in. Didn't I say that even though I have become a data body, I also have their abilities.
But the information I have stored is really too little, so there is too little I can do - it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If they also come in, it means that the data body is probably not suspicious."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but suddenly realized: "You want to enter their information database and steal their information!"
"Stealing sounds too bad," said the gift bag, slightly pouting his red lips, and his little face looked as if he had been kissed by a flower. "Reading, it's reading."
"How, how do you read it?"
"Sister, just wait here for me." Ji Shanqing smiled at her, blooming bright red and white.
The way the data body behaves may be completely beyond the scope of human understanding; seeing that he did not explain, Lin Sanjiu did not ask any more questions. She watched the gift bag float away for a few steps, and just stretched out her hands in the wave.
, seemed ordinary and nothing special at all - after looking at it for a while, she suddenly subconsciously touched her forehead and found that her eyebrows were tightly frowning.
Since entering the data flow library, almost everything she has seen and heard is in a category that is difficult for her to understand; what's more, things are happening one after another, and she doesn't even have a chance to think. She is overloaded
At the end of the day, even her brain seemed to be squeaking when she turned around; she vaguely felt that she was still full of doubts, but she couldn't even ask a suitable question.
This feeling is uncomfortable.
Ji Shanqing put his hands gently in the air, and was pushed by invisible waves from time to time. Lin Sanjiu looked at him for a while, half confused and half puzzled. Being in this weird space, he didn't know
How much time had passed? But she couldn't help but feel a little worried because she hadn't seen the puppet master and the soul queen come in for such a long time.
Not daring to disturb the gift bag, she quietly turned around, chose a direction and walked a few steps. Everything was transparent, and it made no difference whether she walked or not. If there was a darker place, maybe she could try
A sudden flash of inspiration... Lin Sanjiu thought of this, reached back and touched the back of his head, and his fingers fell into the short hair without any hindrance.
Eh?
She touched up and down hurriedly - but the back of her head was empty and there was nothing.
Was it lost during the chaos of war just now?
"Teacher Yi," she tried calling, "Where is my [Eureka]?"
Teacher Yi responded quickly: "After you lost consciousness, I also fell into a deep sleep... I don't know where it went."
Maybe it was lost when facing the data body...? Lin Sanjiu thought of this and turned around to look around the space.
The Puppet Master and the Queen of Soul still haven't appeared.
The longer time passed, the higher her heart became. A person who has been analyzed and a fleshworm whose fighting ability has been seen through long ago cannot last long; they have not appeared for a long time.
This was not a good sign. Lin Sanjiu waited patiently for a while, and finally couldn't bear it any longer and approached the gift bag.
"Sister," he called immediately without turning his eyes. "What's the matter?"
"How long does this reading... take?"
"The amount of information they contain is almost endless, and you can't read it all in a lifetime." Ji Shanqing looked at his hands without blinking, as if the most complex information in the world was flowing above them.
Things. "I'm trying to pick out useful information as quickly as possible that can help us find weaknesses in the data body."
"I'm worried that the puppet masters and the others won't be able to hold on and something will happen to them."
"Sister," Libao suddenly laughed without looking back, with a clear voice: "You were too anxious. It was only one point seven seconds after you woke up."
"One, one point and seven seconds?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised. She felt that at least ten minutes had passed.
"The speed of information exchange here is extremely fast." Ji Shanqing explained in a light tone: "Maybe some legends about 'a day in the sky, a thousand years in the world' refer to this situation."
"What about now? How long has it been?"
"It's not even one o'clock seventy-one seconds yet." Ji Shanqing smiled with a hint of helplessness and a hint of coquettishness.
Lin Sanjiu scratched his short hair in embarrassment.
"By the way, where is the Supreme God?" Perhaps because she was thinking of the Puppet Master and the Queen of Souls, she asked while frowning: "What is going on between you and him? Did you take advantage of him?"
"Sister," even though Ji Shanqing didn't look back, you could still see it from the subtle movements on his side. He pouted again. "I asked him to take the lead, let him write paper cranes, let him find you, let him
Being beaten, and still monitoring the movements of the data object in his body... can I do it without his consent? What do I have to convince him to let him walk into this series of traps without any doubt!"
"Then you have made an agreement a long time ago?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up when she heard this - she doesn't have a good impression of the Supreme God, but now that they have decided to fight together, she can't bear to stab him in the back again. "
You didn't frame him?"
"Of course not. When he was on the White Tower, he was controlled by the data body; if he hadn't still been in contact with me at that time, I wouldn't have been able to find his data set; let alone the reflection through his body.
He went back." Libao let out an aggrieved sound from his nose, "He opened [Undesired Love] to attack the data body, which is also a step in our plan."
In short, the gift package and the Supreme God have been fishing for law enforcement. If you think about it carefully, there is indeed no more suitable candidate for the bait in this plan than the Supreme God.
So... where does this uneasiness and doubt come from?
