Chapter 207 Main World 8 Firewall
The chief designer's face darkened for a moment, but he just smiled again, pretending to be tolerant, like a good-tempered elder forgiving the offense of a younger generation.
"I understand your feelings. From the beginning to the end, you have been an innocent victim. But you must understand that the interests of the main world are higher than individuals. No one will forget your sacrifice."
At this point, the chief designer did not feel that 07 was out of control. On the contrary, he felt that 07 was close to perfection, except that it lacked a rein around its neck.
It is not difficult to make this rope, but the difficult part is how to put it on.
The chief designer turned his head and looked at Xu Yanze with a cold face. He didn't care at all what Xu Yanze was planning to do at this time. In his opinion, Xu Yanze was dead.
Xu Yanze was escorted all the way to the R&D group. As soon as he entered this level, he immediately felt a strong sense of being watched. Xu Yanze instinctively looked up at the camera that was swinging with their movement, and the red dot on the camera flashed for a moment.
Xu Yanze cooperated very well throughout the whole process, so well that the staff couldn't help but look at him with hidden pity. Perhaps the chief didn't know that in their plan, Xu Yanze's survival rate was almost zero.
07's internal database is different from a normal small world. As a closed small world database, it has a heavily encrypted protection layer on the outside. This layer of turbulence is enough to shatter the consciousness of a normal human being.
But as a person who has an emotional connection with 07, his consciousness fragments are most likely to be accepted by 07's database, and the program they placed on Xu Yanze will be able to successfully invade and control 07.
In other words, it doesn't matter whether Xu Yanze is dead or alive, as long as the connection is established.
Xu Yanze's hands were still handcuffed, and the control ring on his neck was connected to a long data cable. Everyone evacuated to the outside world, and Xu Yanze was hanging in the air.
The chief designer deliberately didn't want him to have an easy time, but no one dared to persuade him. Xu Yanze hung his head. The white lab coat he was asked to change into was too loose, exposing his wrists and ankles. He didn't move at all, even though the collar around his neck made it hard for him to breathe.
He turned his head and glanced at the sleeping cabin, where 07's body was stored. Xu Yanze glanced at it and then looked away, seemingly uninterested.
His reaction caused whispers among the crowd behind the one-way glass.
Since he came here, everyone has been curious about what the legendary raider who made a cold program have human warmth is like. And...does he care about 07 in any unusual way?
But it was obvious that they were all very disappointed. Xu Yanze didn't ask a single question about 07, and remained indifferent even when faced with the birthplace of 07. He just glanced around the place and was not even curious about 07's true self.
"Come to think of it, if the taskers were all bothered by the emotions in the small world, they should have been sewn up long ago."
The chief designer lowered his head and patted the microphone, smiled, and then looked at Xu Yanze who was being strangled and suffocated on the screen: "Chief, do you have any requirements? We will try our best to satisfy you."
Xu Yanze smiled, his black hair brushing against his cheeks as he raised his head, revealing a pair of cold eyes. "So much nonsense? Aren't you afraid that 07 will break through your database and really get out?"
The chief designer immediately looked at the people around him. He didn't expect that Xu Yanze could guess so much just by following them silently. He subconsciously thought that someone was talking too much.
[Lasso program is running... Checking data... Passed... The carrier is in good condition...]
The system broadcasts in his ears seemed to be close and far away, overlapping and intertwining. Xu Yanze trembled uncontrollably, and the ring around his neck felt hot... It got tighter and tighter...
[Trying to connect... Database No. 07... Initializing...]
Xu Yanze could no longer hear what was being reported behind him. His eyelids were heavy and his mind was clear, but his body was forced not to think of anything and he could not feel the existence of his body.
[Risk warning... The current consciousness carrier is too low... It may cause the consciousness to collapse...]
After the system finished broadcasting, many people present could not help but shudder. Cold objective data and probability are not tangible on paper, but when they are actually facing a living life... it is hard not to be moved.
The crowd became silent and solemn. Glasses lowered his head and mixed in with them. He had no authority to stand here, but a few days ago he found that his authority card could actually swipe open the door normally. After all, he was still worried and found an opportunity to stay here and watch how the situation developed.
He looked up anxiously at the surveillance cameras that were constantly focused on them, and felt worried for these former colleagues.
The chief designer took one last look at Xu Yanze, lifted the hood without hesitation, and pressed the start button.
Xu Yanze's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, his whole body trembled for a moment and then went limp, leaving only the string on his neck holding his body swaying.
[The consciousness is connecting...Please note, the black box is open...]
Although the people in the R&D team looked solemn, they all relaxed when they heard the reminder. This reminder was most likely a success. But the man hiding in the crowd took off his glasses and wiped them again and again.
07's internal database is like most ancient artificial intelligence computing systems. It is a black box to the creators. They can control and debug it through instructions and programs, but there is always a black box that cannot be observed... and they can only get one result.
"Yan Ze..."
Xu Yanze opened his eyes suddenly and sneezed, as if he was fished out of the deep sea.
He rubbed his eyes and turned around to see a man with dark blue eyes scratching his cheek with a dogtail grass.
Xu Yanze recognized it as the real person whom he had caught a glimpse of in the hibernation capsule.
"I knew you would come to see me again." He smiled, sat on the grass, leaned over and hugged Xu Yanze.
Xu Yanze was a little confused, because the mixed information in his mind was very confusing. Not only what happened in the main world, but also some memories of the small world that he was sure he had not experienced yet.
The man stood up and held his cheek with his hand. His dark blue eyes seemed to light up for a moment. Xu Yanze looked at him in panic, then gradually calmed down. The mixed memories in his mind disappeared. All that was left was the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass and the warm and rough touch of the palm of the man in front of him.
“Mee-mee-mee…”
The furry little lamb squeezed in, and Xu Yanze subconsciously hugged it. Not surprisingly, he saw the man's expression darken for a moment.
"Where is this place?"
As soon as Xu Yanze finished asking, the man's face showed a look of grievance again: "I thought you would ask who I am first."
Xu Yanze chuckled: "Qi Guze. Do you still need to ask?"
The man also smiled and reached out to tidy up the hair by his ears. His cold dark blue eyes seemed to warm up under the warm sunlight.
"But do you know which Qi Guze I am?"
Xu Yanze subconsciously thought that he was asking whether he was the butler or the bartender, but when he met his calm smile, the confused memories in his mind disturbed his consciousness again.
"It's okay..." The lamb in Xu Yanze's arms disappeared, and was lifted up by a warm embrace, and a rough hand covered his eyes. "It's okay, close your eyes, and continue to move forward in the past..."
"I'll be waiting for you at the finish line."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanze suddenly fell from a height. This memory was forced into his mind, as if it had never happened at all.
Now there was only darkness in front of Xu Yanze's eyes, and he couldn't even tell whether his eyes were open or closed.
[Firewall is turned on]
Finally, vague spots of light appeared in front of Xu Yanze's eyes. The scattered spots of light lit up one after another, and he saw Qi Guze again from afar.
"Don't come over here again."
Xu Yanze subconsciously walked towards him, and with every step he took he felt a force that seemed to tear his body apart.
"Yin Suohe will be here soon, don't move." Qi Guze's expression was full of tension.
Xu Yanze quickly figured it out after hearing what he said. "It seems that you have contacted Yin Suohe behind my back. You all want me to hide in Area 03 and not care about anything or ask anything, right?"
"You're right. I put you in too much danger. You wouldn't have..."
"That's enough." Xu Yanze interrupted coldly, "I've said it before. Since I like you, I can bear everything you bring to me. I don't need you to help me weigh the pros and cons."
Xu Yanze looked at the plain ring in his hand. Before coming here, he had hidden something in the ring, and at the same time he discovered the existence of the "firewall".
Going further, he discovered that this plain ring was not made of silver at all, but a piece of metal knocked off from Qi Guze's core.
Qi Guze did not intend to promise a future with the ring he gave her before they parted, he only wanted to protect her.
As a man-made object with survival and evolution written into its underlying code, it violated the most insurmountable instinct. At that moment, Xu Yanze laughed out loud while looking at the Su Ring in his hand, and finally tears welled up in his eyes.
"Believe me, as long as I can get rid of their control, I will come to find you." Qi Guze watched him walking towards him step by step with almost fear.
Xu Yanze walked very slowly. The tearing sensation even caused him to experience phantom pain, as if his skin was being violently torn apart.
[The lasso program has been detected to be near the specified position...]
Xu Yanze stopped for a moment and saw a collar around Qi Guze's neck. A red light flashed and Qi Guze's eyes became cold and stiff.
Xu Yanze finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees. The closer he got to the outer layer, the tearing sensation gradually turned into a knife-like feeling. Xu Yanze saw his little finger fall off and disappear, so he immediately took off the ring in his hand and swallowed it.
"Qi Guze" walked over leisurely at this moment, and the collar on his neck gradually changed from red to a steady dark blue.
It stretched out its hands to grab Xu Yanze's neck, forcefully pinched his mouth open with its fingers, and reached out to take out the vegetarian ring it had just swallowed.
Xu Yanze looked at "Qi Guze" in a trance. Its expression was indifferent and calm, and its voice was steady: "I am following the order. Recover the core metal and destroy the unstable factors."
Xu Yanze knew that this was an order issued by the R&D team, and the "Qi Guze" in front of him was a control program implanted by the R&D team.
Xu Yanze stretched out his hand and put it on Qi Guze. His falling apart body had already shown cracks and only a piece of his arm was left. He chuckled.
"Qi Guze" was stunned for a moment, and his fingers loosened, but Xu Yanze slowly moved closer, and pressed his trembling lips against its lips.
A faint light of light blue lit up, and the tiny cracks in the corners of his eyes revealed light. His remaining arms were tightly hooked around "Qi Guze's" neck.
[Firewall permissions are being transferred...]
【Transfer completed】
Ding, after a small sound of metal falling to the ground, the white ring lost its luster and fell down.
Qi Guze sat there in a daze. The collar around his neck broke with a snap and fell off. Before Qi Guze's eyes was only darkness with no way forward.
His lover was shattered and dissipated here.
There was still a stinging feeling on his lips, and Qi Guze immediately grasped the Su Ring, the warmth still on his fingertips. He shouted Xu Yanze's name loudly in confusion, but there was no response.
There was only a cold reminder sound.
[The firewall permissions have been transferred, and the marked program has been checked and killed. ]
