154.
The shopping area on the 6th floor is so desolate for the first time.
Some were hiding in the shops, while others were watching from the stairwell. In front of the innermost grocery store, a group of young men in black suits were scattered.
The girl in the cloak clapped her hands, looked at the people on the ground, and the tall man in the red cloak left the shopping area.
They went up in the elevator, and as the doors closed, the crowd began to whisper.
"It's that NPC!"
"Didn't he die in the dungeon?"
"I guess the management is deliberately spreading false information. After all, their authority is being challenged..."
"So it's true, one man took on a dozen scavengers?"
"The person following her is the former scavenger who betrayed the management?"
......
Cai Lu looked at his reflection in the elevator door and said, "Once I've hacked into the main system, you'll find a place to hide—"
After invading the main system, Lu Cai can control the computer system on the 13th floor. As long as the main system does not take the dominant position, those security systems and scavengers will be unable to do anything to her.
But 666 was different. When she controlled the main system, 666 would be completely exposed to everyone. Even though Lu Cai knew how strong he was, facing a group of people alone would always be a disadvantage.
666 turned his head to look at Lu Cai, then nodded.
At this time, the number displayed on the elevator was "13", and with a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opened.
At first, Lu Cai was hesitant about whether to go to the twelfth floor first and then slowly climb the stairs to sneak in. But after thinking about his purpose, he decided it would be better to go straight.
The current situation is not favorable for them. If it goes on, it will only get worse.
The players with her would be attacked, and with fewer and fewer people able to help, their chances of victory would be even smaller. With control over the main system now, they could retrieve Qin Yu and the others. Then, united with the other players, they might be able to control Lu Jue.
She walked out of the elevator door and saw that it was similar to what she saw last time. The glass wall was transparent and she could see the desk and computer inside. The access lock was the same as before, but Lu Cai guessed that the password must have been changed.
The only thing that can be called a "change" is that there are many more guards here. In addition to a few men in suits, there are also some people in strange costumes.
The two scavengers who attacked him last time were wearing unique clothes. Lu Cai guessed that those with different clothes were scavengers.
The other party was somewhat surprised when he saw Lu Cai and the other man, but he quickly regained his composure.
666 raised his hand and tapped the badge on his chest. The red cloak was folded up, revealing his fair face and light gray clothes. He had been wearing a hood before, and his hair was a little messy.
The long sword was unsheathed. Lu Cai was helpless to see 666 reveal his identity right away, but then he thought, no matter who came up, the management would probably assume it was 666. Plus, when they fought later, there would be no need to hide the long sword once 666 was out.
Unexpectedly, when the other party saw 666's face, he took a half step back.
Cai Lu was shocked. Was he serious about taking a half step back?
Didn’t I realize that 666 is so scary in the eyes of these people?
"Get out of the way." Lu Cai withdrew his thoughts and glanced at the opposite side, his eyes silent and calm.
Of course, giving in was out of the question, and soon the two groups started fighting. The men in suits focused on Lu Cai, while the scavengers concentrated on besieging 666.
Lu Cai had encountered a group of men in suits at "Perfect Life" before, and they weren't that difficult to deal with. But in an instant, red threads shot out in all directions, with her as the center.
The red thread was like a nimble long snake. It wrapped around the men in suits and then drilled into their skin, starting to modify their data.
With a loud crash, the black figure fell down in a mess.
Lu Cai finally had time to look back at the fight going on nearby, but all he saw were a few streaks of light. A grayish-white figure quickly shifted, and those besieging him instantly fell backward.
It didn't take long for the two of them to deal with this group of people, and then they quickly walked towards the main control room.
Looking at the transparent glass door, Lu Cai felt that this place seemed different from before.
Before, she had seen it as flawless, with not a single loophole to be found. But now, all she saw were countless numbers bouncing around, and with just a slight flick, the door could be easily opened.
It couldn't be that the management had become lax in their access control. Lu Cai suspected she had become stronger. She couldn't help but think of the battery symbol on her wrist. The charge level remained constant, even as her abilities continued to rise.
He could only put this matter aside for now. Lu Cai looked at the glass door and began to fluctuate the data. Amidst the sea of orange numbers, a few red numbers popped up.
It didn't take long, and with a click, the door opened.
Lu Cai didn't go in immediately. She turned her head to look at 666, her meaning obvious. 666 nodded slightly, put away his long sword, turned around and ran towards the stairs.
Then I turned my gaze towards the main control room. The light inside was dim, the computer was running on its own, and the light on the display screen was flickering.
She stepped in and could hear no other sound except the sound of the machines running.
Why was it so smooth? Because not only did she want to enter here, but the other party also wanted her to appear.
After all, it is still unknown who ate whom.
Going deeper into her memory, this time she walked much slower than last time, but with every step she took, something triggered her memory.
As she turned the corner, unable to see the figure clearly due to the dim light, the glass door, which had been malfunctioning, finally returned to normal. Just as the door was about to slowly close, a tall, thin, gray figure quickly slipped through.
The door closed, and the gray figure stood up, looking at Lu Cai's receding back. After a moment of silence, he finally walked in her direction.
......
Lu Cai had a smooth journey, as if he was going home.
When she saw the pool-like platform and the ball of data light above the pool, her eyes widened.
It turns out that the main system is actually a data group?
She thought it was because it was difficult to disguise as a human, so she used the most intuitive method to appear in the dungeon. Unexpectedly, the other party really looked like this!
As she stepped into the room, the door behind her closed with a click.
Lu Cai didn't care at all. She stared at the ball of light, and suddenly a lot of sadness welled up in her. She didn't know where this sadness came from, but she had an inexplicable thought - someone had destroyed something she cared about, destroyed it completely.
"You're here." The main system's voice was shrill, like a spoiled little girl.
Lu Cai's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he replied softly, "Yes, I'm here."
The room fell silent. After a long moment, the main system spoke first.
Main System: "I know what you want to do. You have the 'power of control,' and I have the 'power of control,' too. As long as you take away my half, you can control the world."
Lu Cai noticed her words - "something on the body" - in her description, what the first generation left behind was power, and she took the power.
This was inconsistent with Lu Cai's guess. She thought that the main system was the "first generation". At least in the main system's consciousness world, she was the first generation and there was no replacement, so she was angry towards Lu Cai, her "other half".
Rather than having its own power divided, the main system was more eager to take over Lu Cai's power.
So what happened to the first generation?
"I don't want to control this world..." Lu Cai smiled, "I just want to kill you."
They didn't give her a way out, so she made her own way out.
She noticed data approaching her, but ignored it and continued towards the data light ball.
The main system sneered: "How are you going to kill us?"
Lu Cai opened her mouth and prepared to answer, but the data behind her suddenly surged and enveloped her. The data in front of her eyes converged into an orange color. She could not move her body and could only watch the orange data floating around.
She closed her mouth, ready to speak, and smiled faintly at Data. She was deeply curious about how the main system planned to absorb her abilities, like last time? Would it simply pierce her knees or elbows with Data?
After waiting for a long time, Lu Cai did not feel any pain. Instead, he stared at the data and found some patterns.
The data here was extremely rigid, arranged and running in a regular manner, without any independent opinions. If this were the data from the main system, it would indeed be insufficient to match this vast KB world.
He looked, but couldn't make out anything. Lu Cai began to struggle, his tightly bound arms straining to break free from the invisible restraints. The data before him also changed.
Lu Cai watched the data rapidly jump and change, his hands still struggling to break free. The force enveloping him noticeably weakened, and the data became restless.
Amidst the commotion, Lu Cai caught a glimpse of a fluctuation. Red data quickly rushed over, enveloping all the data there.
The restraints on her body loosened instantly, she stretched her arms and looked up at the red dot in the orange.
The surrounding data spread out, not daring to get close to the red.
Lu Cai stretched out his hand and gently clenched it towards the air. It seemed that he was holding a slightly warm ball in his hand.
If she hadn't remembered it so clearly, she would have thought the little ball of light was just a harmless ball of data. Just now, she looked around, feeling happy.
In such an extremely urgent situation, she was able to maintain this composure, unaffected at all. You know, besides being reckless, she had no backup plan.
"Now, it's my turn—" Cai Lu recalled how the data changed when the main system was manipulating the data just now.
With a calm mind, the changes in the data became more and more obvious. The chief frowned and watched the light ball struggling hard.
"Even if you possess my energy, you can't control the KB game!" The main system continued to roar, "We are not 'it', and we can't control this kind of power at all!"
Lu Cai ignored her, thinking she was just yelling out of fear.
"I don't know where you get the power from. I can only control it with the help of my husband!" The voice of the main system became more and more sharp. She felt the data behind her being peeled off. "If you take possession by force, you will definitely-" followed by a scream.
Ever since she began fusing the data, she had never thought that one day she would be separated from the power of that data, even though this power had never obeyed her.
The power data on his body gradually peeled off, the main system suddenly became powerless, and Lu Cai woke up from the illusion.
Lu Cai saw the scene clearly. The data group fell on the platform, dying, as if it had been skinned, and even its voice was so weak that it could not be heard.
Was what she just peeled off really the energy left by the "first generation"?
Lu Cai was somewhat confused.
