Tower
The arm was cut by the high-speed airflow the moment it entered the wormhole. Before it could feel the pain, the outer layer of flesh and blood was melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a large area of white bones.
The benefits of being in the database can be revealed at this moment. Ding Can lowered his eyes and his entire arm turned into a series of characters.
Although the intersection is thin, it can still hold its own in the vortex raging around it.
The vortex is the core of the system. Just now, in order to rebuild Lin He's transmission channel, the program has been officially started.
As long as we prevent it from closing and interrupting, the program can continue to run. Once the channel is established, it will be applicable to all students nearby.
"You're crazy!" The ball of light obviously didn't anticipate the step she was going to take. It was just shocked, and even its tentacles that were stretched out outside didn't have time to catch the two people back.
Due to the influence of the raw data in front of it, it is indeed impossible for it to launch any effective counterattack in a short period of time.
But if the situation is allowed to continue, everyone outside will be able to return to their original world through the channel.
It would never allow so many people to escape safely from under its nose. Even if it meant destroying the operation of the entire diary training camp, it would never allow its authority to be challenged.
Although it has been running successfully for a long time, it would be a pity to abandon it now. However, anger obviously prevailed at this moment, and there was no time to delve into the details.
Just when it wanted to do something, it suddenly realized that its body was changing. It took a while for it to realize the reason.
"What did you do?" Guangtuan looked at Ding Can in disbelief, noticing that she had inserted a dagger into her chest at some point, and blood was flowing down, instantly dyeing the entire collar of her clothes red.
If the electronic data self-destructs, after all, the entire database is still in the control of the light ball in front of her, and she cannot guarantee whether it will be affected.
In this case, it is actually easier to get started with this illusory human body of his own. Due to the different nature of the application object, if this body disappears, the original data of the essential connection will also be damaged.
And it is irreversible. The system can perform all-round control at the electronic level, but it cannot use data to make the wounds heal automatically.
He came in a hurry and didn't bring any useful tools with him. That's why he took the dagger from Yu Fu's hand just now. He was waiting for this moment.
Moreover, the most primitive method would be particularly effective at this moment. The human body that the system had just sneered at and was unwilling to inhabit had become the most advantageous weapon at present. Looking at the other party's reaction, Ding Can knew that he had succeeded.
Because in the vortex, the force that was constantly squeezing towards the arms from all directions was almost zero, and the tips of many tentacles took on the shape of palms. The twisted movements showed clearly that the owner was not in a good condition.
Ding Can took a breath, pulled out the dagger, found a good position, and stabbed it hard again.
Thanks to the medical knowledge I learned when I was with Shi Yan, I knew how to get closer to death faster.
This time she heard even sharper howls coming from the snarling tentacles, but they were drowned out by the tinnitus in her ears.
The noisy sound spread out in all directions like a tide, and for a moment it became extremely quiet. Without the sound, the scene in front of him became clearer.
The tentacles that were originally spreading around now struggled upwards and formed the shape of a lush tree, which was highly consistent with the original imagined picture.
The ground is slightly arched, which is the effect of the natural growth of trees. The roots that grow slowly in the soil are hidden here.
The trees appeared lush on the surface, but gradually scattered leaves began to fall down, and fragments of programs and data floated in the air, turning into ashes before they hit the ground.
The straight tree is becoming depressed. The trunk is where the ball of light is now, and the vortex where he stretched his hand forward is also located at the tree hole.
Ding Can swallowed hard a few times. Feeling that he had little strength left, he noticed that the tree trunk was moving slowly.
She just stretched out her hand to stop him, and she didn't think she had enough strength to push down such a towering tree.
But that's what happened. The big tree fell in a certain direction with almost no external influence.
The rough tree trunk was like human skin, bulging outward like breathing, completely in sync with his own heartbeat. When Ding Can fell to the ground due to exhaustion, he saw the big tree slumped to the side with it.
Those floating data really look like flowing stars under the reflection of the black sky in the distance.
The moment before Ding Can closed his eyes, he was still thinking that he originally thought that night in the community would be the last time he could see the starry sky.
Fortunately, there is still time to watch it one last time.

Outside the tower, two people were thrown out from the wall and had no time to stand still. When they fell to the side, they were fortunately caught by other students who were waiting nearby.
Gao Wenwen rushed over from a distance and took a quick look: "Where's Sister Can? Why didn't she come out with you?"
Everyone worked together, and in the past period of time, they had already stopped many NPCs who wanted to get close to attack. Now the small area around was safe, but no one could enter, so they were inevitably caught in anxious waiting.
After finally seeing someone come out, they all wanted to ask what had happened.
Before Yu Fu could even stand still, he shook off the hands that were supporting him, stood up in a panic, walked to the iron wall and wanted to go in again, but all he touched was a cold and hard wall.
The database now also restricts his access and does not have the ability to penetrate it.
In other words, maybe he didn't have the conditions to enter in the first place, and was only allowed in because he was traveling with Ding Can just now.
No, she was already injured inside, and this might be the only chance to save her. Yu Fu knocked hard on the wall a few times, and the skin on his finger bones soon began to bleed. The continuous muffled sound made people tremble in their hearts.
"What happened?" Looking at his somewhat ferocious and panicked expression, Xia Jialian pulled him away, already having a guess in his mind.
Lin He stepped forward and said, "I know what happened inside."
Although I still don’t quite understand Ding Can’s exact intention, I can basically understand why she did this.
Just a few minutes ago, when he was in the space and about to be thrown out, Lin He saw clearly the last look that Ding Can gave him.
Although he didn't say a word, one could still see a lot of emotions in his expression: sadness, unwillingness, and obvious expectation. At that moment, he suddenly understood what the other person's choice was.
Going back to the multiple-choice question given to her by the system, there are actually more than just the two answers.
I'm afraid that from the moment he heard the question, Ding Can had already made an easy choice and had his own final answer.
She finally had a chance to turn the situation around, and of course, people on both sides didn't want to give up, so they turned their attacks against her and left her alone in the tower, thus achieving a situation that was good for everyone.
"She wanted to sacrifice herself and perish along with the system in exchange for a chance for everyone to return home."
Gao Wenwen frowned: "Didn't we agree to leave together? We can't leave Sister Can here alone."
"She had foreseen the current outcome from a long time ago. I had a premonition in my heart as well, but I thought it was something that should be borne by both of us."
Yu Fu knew that he couldn't go in again, so he turned around and leaned his back against the wall, lowering his head. There was a hint of regret in his voice: "I should have noticed it earlier. In fact, after remembering her identity, I can see that she feels a little guilty."
As the most important part of the system construction process, Ding Can knew that the experiences of these people were closely related to himself. Every second he watched them suffer in the predicament, the pressure in his heart would increase.
That's why he seized this opportunity and sacrificed himself to cause the entire database to fail.
Not only did it save the students, but it also prevented experiments that illegally extracted human consciousness from happening again.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have acted so eager to go home in front of her every time..." Shi Yan thought about how she often told Ding Can about her previous experiences when they were together.
Although she has an overwhelming amount of work to do every day in the hospital, she still feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees patients recover under her care.
Especially after experiencing the diary training camp, Shi Yan was able to appreciate the preciousness of life more deeply, which gave her a deeper understanding of her future career.
Perhaps these words of mine were the driving force behind her making this choice.
Gao Wenwen said softly, "If that's the case, then I did have a part in it, but at the time everyone was so eager to go back that they didn't notice Sister Can's thoughts."
"You shouldn't have been brought here. You should have gone back."
Yu Fu looked at the distant sky, and the changes in his body made him realize something. "The passage is now officially open, and it won't be long."
As the channel opens, the database is on the verge of being destroyed. When the two happen together, many things will disappear in a short period of time.
Those community NPCs who had been suppressed just now were now making a comeback, and everything became uncontrollable.
"We'll never see each other again, right? But aren't you all just data? So, is there still a possibility that Sister Can could come back to life and reboot? Wouldn't the data chain formed by that be incredibly complex?"
Gao Wenwen was still hoping for something, and turned to Shu Yubei, who was not far away, for an answer. "Don't you have research in this area? Generally speaking, data recovery shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Shu Yubei was wearing thin clothes and had a haggard look on her face. She was not good at comforting others. Her reason told her that the situation the other party described was almost impossible to happen, but she could not say anything to lie, so she could only remain silent.
Shu Shenan patted his shoulder: "Don't let what she did go to waste. She didn't do this just for you guys, but to take all of us away. After we get out, we should live a good life. We..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly covered his head with his hands, looking extremely painful.
Only then did he realize that other students had the same symptoms. Yu Fu looked around and it seemed that he was the only one who was not affected.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xia Jialian explained, "Many scenes appeared before my eyes. In addition to those I had experienced in previous dungeons, there were also some other scenes I had never seen before."
Too much information is put into the mind at once, and everyone is almost overloaded, with nerves tense, which leads to the same situation.
After a little thought, Yu Fu understood what was going on. When the students were about to leave the database, their consciousness was dragged through the torrent, causing many created images to constantly emerge in their minds.
Those that you haven't seen before are actually environments in other different copies, appearing randomly.
But for them, this is not actually a bad thing, it is a sign that the body is gradually leaving the system, and they are about to leave.
Yu Fu took a deep breath and said, "I'm very happy to meet you. Although we haven't spent much time together, I still hope that after you return, you can forget the pain this place has brought you, but... you must remember her."
Apart from the students, he had never encountered such a situation before, and obviously had no idea what would happen to him.
But what he wanted to know most at this moment was whether that was the last time he saw Ding Can.
It was obvious that all this happened because of his earliest thought, which affected the student's direction in the copy and was punished by the system, which made Ding Can decide to transform into a student to find him.
The composition and structure of each piece of data are obviously different from each other, although when they are placed together in the database, there is not much difference from the outside.
But there are more than tens of millions of differences between them. They operate independently without interfering with each other, and there is no emotional connection between them.
Somehow, a distant similarity arose between the two of them, and the two closely related pieces of data thus had the initial weak connection.
The only thing he could do now was to ensure the safe return of these students.
In this situation, the five senses suddenly become very clear, and even the scenes dozens of meters away can be seen clearly.
Yu Fu then realized that it was not because his eyesight had improved or for any other reason, but because after the database was damaged, some of the constraints on him disappeared, and he became freer and began to feel many things in the space.
Like a speck of dust floating in the air, he can go wherever he wants according to his thoughts. If he wants, he can even overlook the entire Liangfeng community.
The entire vast network was unfolding before his eyes, and every impending danger was accurately predicted.
The students are now confused, and this is the weakest moment. Any slight disturbance may have a great impact on the subsequent transmission.
The annoying artificial intelligence in those communities is gradually approaching, and he has to become the last line of defense to ensure that everyone can leave safely.
Yu Fu closed his eyes gently, and when he opened them again, his pupils turned a deep blue-green, reflecting the reflection of Liangfeng Community.
With a thought, the man appeared in front of several robots. High voltage current passed through the robots' abdominal cavity, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of scrap metal scattered on the ground.
