Chapter 1268: Margins and Rifts

I was standing in front of a girl who was completely unfamiliar in appearance. She was tall and probably about the same size as the female hooligan of Bingtis. She had long linen-colored hair. Her face was not characteristic but also very beautiful. Looks like a pair of slightly energetic eyes, the other party is wearing Emperor's uniform, but I'm sure her face appeared in the military zone for the first time. At first she was stunned by this strange girl, but she quickly greeted me quite familiarly, and then I noticed that she had a small sign on her chest with a line on it Dog creepy words: "Spirit, if you find it, please contact the military, thank you."
"Are you a spirit?" I looked at this completely strange girl in front of me in amazement, feeling that the world spectacle was not enough, "How did you become like this?"
"Well, when I took the test, I stayed for a while and then forgot what I looked like last time." Xi Ling said with a smile, looking very happy, and didn't realize what was wrong with her changes. I was stunned when I heard the answer from the other side, and realized the concept of the so-called indefinite living body like never before ... It is truly a guy who recorded all the data of known species and whose body shape can be switched at will. She usually plays too much Advanced-I don't know if she tried to make her a bike too?
Anyway, the unlucky slime at home is really learning to turn into a bicycle.
My eyes fell on the small sign on the other side's chest, the size of which was like a slap, and looked like the work cards of some big companies, which was hung by Hilling with a red rope around his neck. Qian Qian is really a whimsical guy ...
"This is what my mother gave me. She said that I ran around all day long, and always changed my appearance, afraid that I might lose it." Xi Ling shook the little white metal plate with joy, as if using it as a treat Necklace, "But I don't think this is of much use. Isn't it possible to recognize others as long as the soul remains the same? Oh, of course, I will take it with me. I will take it with me when I run to other places."
It seems that Spirit already knows many characteristics of the Spirit Apostles, such as how to identify other people by the unique identification code of the soul, but she is not quite sure that the high-level empire is not a normal Spirit Apostle at all: we are still used to relying on our faces. Recognizing people. Superficially, like me a few days ago, I encountered such an "unknown" spirit, so I made such a brand for her with a stroke of my head. This thing looks silly, but don't you really say, why is it so fun to look at it when he hangs it around his neck?
Although this was an accidental encounter, since we met each other, we should naturally talk about it. Besides, I don't have much to do now. I have been accompanying Anuli Lili around these two days, and I have no time to meet this "big man" who has just returned to the empire. Now is the time to take this opportunity to understand the current situation of this dim super consciousness.
The easiest and most suitable place to rest and chat nearby is of course the small shop in Sylvia, which is next to the separation wall of the military zone and less than 200 meters away from the assembly square. When I pulled Hilling past, it was the moment when the small shop took away only a few guests in a day: at this hour there would be a few mass-produced bubbles to buy desserts, basically Sylvia could expect There are only a few of them. The student guests from the military academy belong to the rare elite. Usually they are rarely refreshed within half a kilometer around the military zone except on rest days. After all, once you get caught by your instructor and come to this place to buy things outside of the rest day, it's not fun.
After a few nervous and seemingly excited production bubbles disappeared at the end of the street under my watch, I pulled Hilling to open the glass door of the shop and greeted the person who might now be waiting for lunch. Manager: "Sylvia! There are guests!"
"It's called Mao, Mao, I saw you two already. Isn't this preparing drinks for you two!" A series of brisk blasting voices came from behind the counter, and I stared at the silver-haired mole rat's hands and feet. Cleanly packed the bags and other debris on the counter. Behind her was the coffee beans floating in mid-air and tearing the packaging by herself. This suspected Sylvia creature looked up at me and poked his mouth. "First of all. Only coffee and black tea, orange juice was drunk by 001, Cola was ionized by 036, helium three ... you must not drink helium three. I really do n’t know if those guys came to help or help out, they ate more than anyone else, and took a pack for each person before leaving ... "
Needless to say, this must not be Sylvia ...
"Bella Villa? How come you are free? Isn't it usually a lot of energy to come out once?" I looked at the Raven who was complaining because my "daughters" were not working. The king, now she, is neither like the slow and slow Silvia, but also the gloomy and cold Bellavila, who lived in Shadow City during this time, especially with us. After some time, Bella Villa has been familiar with everyone. Perhaps in front of outsiders, she is still the horror plasticist, but in private, she is a good guy: she has a poisoned mouth.
"I don't come out to help, let the silly guy continue to receive the low-paid relief food every month?" Bella Villar summoned a large water polo, hit a finger, and the water polo floating in the air began to boil in an instant Get up, at the same time, the coffee beans floating in the air on the other side grind herself into powder. The way she makes coffee is really amazing. "I share a body with her, she usually I have followed the unlucky past, and every time I wake up, I remember the days I spent during my sleep, and I feel very heavy. The guy didn't even know how to buy new clothes ... "
I didn't expect Bella Villa to hide such deep grievances, but she did not understand her grievances. Shadow City has three famous poor people. Of course, the top two are the sisters of Asida and Asidola, followed by Sylvia ... Bella who shares a body with Sylvia Verana is destined to be dragged to death by the pig teammates.
"Hehe-your coffee grind is quite interesting." I laughed twice, and didn't comment on the daily life of Sylvia's nerd. By the way shifted the topic. There was a boiling water polo floating in front of Bella Villa, and she took a set of filters to prepare it. Then the magician is different from ordinary people. They can drink with coffee.
"Do you think I'm willing to toss this way?" Bellavira sighed quietly. "The coffee machine was taken down by 001 ..."
I am now very sure that the mass production of Ravens came to the store to help out.
"Here, it's a self-confidence," Bellavira brought two cups of coffee to me and Hilling, then hooked his fingers towards the counter, and a bunch of pastries were delivered directly to the round table. "I did it myself. Alright. You eat and talk slowly. I have to go back to sleep first. I'm tired after an hour. I will go to Tianjie City in the afternoon to help. By the way, remember to pay the bill later. "
I said thank you, and the opposite Spirit had begun to stuff snacks in her mouth, but after a few seconds, Bellavira was still standing near the table without moving, and I looked up at her curiously: "You are not Are you going back to bed? "
The silver-haired woman looked at me blankly. Slowly said: "Yeah-she's already asleep-"
Me: "..." Why do you say I can't meet a few normal guys!
"I like the dim sum here!" Seemingly, Ling didn't care about the surrounding environment at all, she bulged in her mouth. Speaking is as clear as usual, "I eat here for the first time."
Then I knew that the first stop that Hilling had just arrived in the real world was not Monster Town, but this dessert shop next to the Shadow Fortress. This is easy to understand.Although Hilling can teleport herself regardless of distance and barriers, but when she contacts the outside world for the first time, the wandering distance must not be far away from the crystal where she originally lived. A space monster town is much closer. She didn't know anything about real-world life at first, but she just changed into a similar shape according to the clothing of the base personnel. Then wandered here, at that time she didn't know that there was such a thing as "eating" in the world.
Then she was entertained by Sylvia. The silver-haired mole, whose thinking was always out of touch with the real world, had no doubt entertaining a racially conscious fake whose thinking was in tune with the real world for the first time. A life form like Hilling has no need for food at all, but she remembers this first hospitality well, and treats eating as an important thing: by the way, she also makes Sylvia the first Friend-although she is not very clear about the concept of friend.
That being said. If Bella Villa could wake up once in those days, we would save the martial law of the oolong ...
"I'm still used to these days, right?" I looked at the spirit who was eating happily, and it felt like I was looking at a sensible sister: Of course, this sister was a bit bigger.
Hilling nodded. Continue to answer with a mouth that is completely stuffed but still articulate: "Well, the outside world is quite interesting. The same thing looks different at home and outside. The things Tavill gave are also I've read it all, and remembered it-although I still don't understand it. "
When Hilling said here, she seemed a little embarrassed. She felt sorry for her low understanding ability, but soon she regained her cheeks with a confident smile: "But I will work hard even if I don't understand! Tavel said, as long as you know what you should do, why not do it for the time being-anyway, the emperor's order is the truth, as it is said in the underlying agreement. "
My expression should be a bit subtle, but Hilling couldn't see it. Whether this immature super consciousness can bear the heavy responsibility for the time being is uncertain, but she must already have the most basic principles of the Apostles of the Spirit: obey orders, execute, be efficient, and be faithful.
I talked to her about the spiritual network. It was considered to understand this large-scale data network from another perspective, and the topic extended along this direction, and finally brought up the other half of the spiritual network that has been lost for a long time.
To be precise, it is the other half: in the old empire, there were 135 sky zones, the scale of the spiritual network was unprecedented, and only 15 days after the catastrophe, the network was spared due to isolation. The spirit is the part of the consciousness left by this one-hundred and thirty-fifth network. She is only the most inconspicuous part of the heyday of the Internet, and the backbone of this network. It is now in the hands of the fallen apostles.
The great casualties caused by the catastrophe may have severely damaged that trunk, but I believe that even then, the spiritual network possessed by the fallen apostles is several times stronger than that of the Empire.
"Lost ... the other half?" Even though the spirit who seemed a little too optimistic, when he brought up the topic, he looked serious, "I don't remember, I can't remember what happened then, but I really feel that way. Now he's very weak. And he feels inexplicably ... his family is ... very ... "
"Very narrow?" I remembered the word the other side mentioned when he first met with Hilling.
"Yes, it's very narrow, and the body is much smaller, so my body has become weaker. I can't remember what I was like in the past, but I always feel that ... the Internet is not normal now, at the margin There is a great rift valley, where it could have been reached. Now it has become a void. "
The way of Spirit's description was strange to me, but it was her perception of the spiritual network from her own perspective. This is of great reference value to outsiders. We know that the whole of the spirit: her memory, thinking, and soul are all rooted in the spiritual network. The defect of this network will cause her performance to decline, and also cause her "shrink" in her shelter. She can't remember what happened back then, partly because of this: her processing performance was greatly damaged with the network division of the year, so that the remaining system resources were not enough to maintain the original huge consciousness. So she can only give up, or she has lost many memories passively.
Another reason is related to her hiding in the crystal that year: even a large memory crystal, even if it has a large capacity, it is impossible to completely save the super consciousness such as Hilling, she should give up when uploading herself to the crystal With a lot of memory, plus the loss of these tens of thousands of years, she still remembers that her name was Ling.
"Do you remember what happened when you hid in the crystal?" I asked a question that everyone had never understood. "You seemed to have planned your own escape route, jumping out of the fifteen-day zone, avoiding the polluted area at that time, and wandering all the way to the remote territory. Then you were picked up by the Merova ... The last one may be an accident But everything else seems to be planned. "
"I don't remember," Hearing shook his head, "I was so smart then?"
"Um, maybe ..." I said bluntly. Now that it was confirmed that there was a consciousness hidden in the crystal, Sandora's judgment at first had a higher degree of credibility: Crystal intentionally planned his own escape route. However, even if this assumption is true, we can't be sure whether Hilling really planned everything in the past. She didn't communicate with anyone at that time. No one in the entire empire knew about the existence of Hilling. She was alone. Finished such a sophisticated plan?
Or ... at some earlier time, this consciousness generated by the spiritual network was influencing the apostles in the fifteen-day zone in a subtle way through her own power, preparing for her future escape?
Things are still confusing, and at the moment it seems impossible to get answers from Schilling. So I gave up looking for answers in her already messy memories, and moved to another topic: "You just mentioned that in your perspective, the spiritual network has a clear 'margin'? Is there a Rift or something?"
When Hilling mentioned these two terms just now, I didn't pay much attention because I felt it was a very high-tech thing, but now when I look back, I suddenly feel that this is not an ordinary incident. As a result-what Schilling said next really made people calm.
"Well, a fairly obvious fault zone," Xi Ling stirred the coffee in front of her, "at home ... I mean, on the spiritual network, the connections of the original nodes should be smooth, even at the edge of the network and where the connection points terminate There should also be a complete termination signal, which is determined by the underlying protocol. But I always feel ... there is an abnormal margin at the end of the network, where the spiritual network is not terminated normally, but the opposite thing suddenly disappears. , Cut across, and then no hemming ... well, this metaphor was found temporarily by me, and that's how it feels. Outside the margin is the Great Rift I dare not dare to get involved in, and it seems like a big hollow, there is nothing Once I pass, I feel like I will lose my node forever. "
It is difficult to understand this unique perspective of Hilling, but I still do my best to understand her words, because I have already realized this, which is probably a very serious matter.
The spiritual network of the empire ... that is a fundamental thing. Anything that appears in it must be magnified and viewed dozens of times!
The spiritual network has a broken band, which reminds me of the concept of the original year. However, of course, it is not fake that the spiritual network and the backbone network in the fifteenth day are isolated, but this isolation is also based on the agreement with the underlying protocol. Yes, as Schilling said, on the normal boundary of the network, each limit node should have a normal termination signal. This signal is probably the kind of footnote "the available forwarding number is zero", which is used to indicate this. Node has no subsequent nodes.
The abnormal margin mentioned by Schilling has no such termination signal.
People in the real world will not be threatened by this abnormal situation, but the spirit that lives on the Internet sees this rift as a beast of flood.
"Because there is no termination signal, if you are not careful, you may slip into the rift," said Xi Ling anxiously. "It is equivalent to sending all the data to a memory that can not feedback information, and I will fall into the hole ... … Not long ago I took a careful look at that margin and was terrified. "
With a lingering voice, Xi Ling grumbled and poured the coffee into his mouth, as if he was shocked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This kind of abnormal network termination has never been noticed, even even monitoring the entire The Internet bubble has not reported a similar situation.
"You haven't told anyone else about this yet?"
"Well, because I just discovered it two days ago, I can't figure out what that margin is, so I want to figure it out before reporting ... Nah, majesty, am I doing something wrong?"
"It's not wrong, but it's a bit risky. Don't get involved in that margin for the time being," I frowned. "I'm going to discuss with Bubble and Sandora ... I must find a way to translate your perspective into The way of real language, and then we locate from the real world where those margins are. You go alone ... too dangerous. "
I did not say the following words clearly.
But my intuition tells me that ... this margin probably comes from the fallen apostles, and even from ... "the adult". To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets,
