Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 109 NO.006c: The End of the Path

Waking up from the dazed state of unconsciousness, Ye Qian took off the heavy helmet.

[Data synchronization failed, confirmed that the consciousness copy was destroyed]

In the center of the eye movement interface, an error message flickered rapidly.

died?

He couldn't help being stunned.

There is no memory of synchronous digital personality, which means that the copy that I downloaded into the abyss dark net before has been destroyed.

And if you want to scan, copy and download again, you have to wait until "Pegasus" stitches up its own brain again—this takes about a week.

"Damn..."

Ye Qian, who realized what happened, murmured.

but……

Just die like that?

What happened next?

Is the talk broken? Aconitum-23 is that guy so reckless?

In an instant, a feeling of panic and confusion crawled along his spinal cord into his brain which was being slowly stitched up.

Then overflowed with regret—I shouldn't be so impatient to take risks and try to control a Cerberus depth 4 adjuster.

But he still didn't understand, how could such well-arranged plans go wrong one after another?

How did my digital personality negotiate? With so many chips in hand, can even such a secure game be collapsed?

I can't figure it out...how did the self talk about it two minutes ago.

Ye Qian thought while tapping his forehead with his fingers.

But right now, since riding a tiger is hard to get off, I can only go one way to the dark...

Quickly calming down his impatience, Ye Qian pulled out the data cable of the brain-computer interface, and then quickly jumped off the high platform.

He walked quickly to the enlarged deep submersible tank containing Aconitum-23, and he took out the "apoptosis scavenger" hidden in the external tool box.

The life support valve was manually opened, and the body of Aconitum-23 was pushed out of the sub-compartment a little, exposing its head entangled with various pipelines.

Then, Ye Qian looked at the blood-red liquid in his hand that shimmered, and fell into hesitation.

Should I do it myself?

Killing the vice-captain of the wolfbane squad by himself, can he really escape Cerberus' pursuit?

Although I have prepared similar words before, but if such a thing really happens, how it will develop is not up to me...

Especially in Tartarus, which is isolated from the world, now I don't even have the option to run away.

He raised and lowered the syringe a few times, and finally the needle froze next to Aconitum-23's head, Ye Qian hesitated.

No information was synchronized back, and he had no idea what happened below.

So... the situation is not as serious as I imagined?

Maybe there is still room for redemption?

For a while, Ye Qian comforted himself like this.

But it was also at this time that he suddenly realized one thing.

Why……

Ye Qian turned his head and looked at the other deep sub-compartment next to it - the one containing "Theseus".

There is always a clear green light on it, indicating that the deep dive personnel in the cabin are in good health.

In other words, Theseus is still alive, and his substitute program is still running under the abyss darknet.

So here comes the problem...

Why is "Theseus" still alive?

Who is it that destroyed his digital personality?

…………

The people of Cerberus wished themselves dead because of the talents they displayed.

And Ye Qian wanted to die, partly because he disgusted Perse Fanny, partly because he wanted to help take the blame.

Although their respective purposes are different, but they want to die themselves are common - since lying in the third deep dive chamber, he has stepped into this trap.

So, it was a dead end from the start.

Constantly adjusting his own coordinates in the fog, Jiang Zhou thought so.

Compared with the World Wide Web, in the Abyss Darknet, due to changes in the operating environment, the running speed when using Hecate's blessing is significantly slower. Even if you just try to open such a passage for two people to pass through, you need to be fully loaded.

But even so, Jiang Zhou was able to spare some energy to think about other issues.

Since it is shooting first and then drawing the target, the so-called collusion with AI is just an excuse.

If he has not been blessed by Hecate, then he must die - as the blessed one.

On the contrary, if he had really been blessed, he would be able to survive.

Of course, in this way, his plan to leave Tartarus through the exchange of prisoners must be completely ruined.

I will definitely be trapped and locked in this Hades in the future.

But no matter how you say it, you have to survive first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou located the person he needed to find on this trip through the activity map.

Not only to survive, but also to fight for some bargaining chips for himself.

…………

Did that guy just run away?

The sensing device scanned the surrounding area, but did not detect the presence of the other party, Aconitum-23 thought with great frustration.

The seemingly soft mist around it has the effect of a silent realm.

"Coward, do you think you can escape?!"

Seeing this, Aconitum-23 increased the power of the speaker, provocatively loudly:

"You have to face me after all. Either here, or after returning to the base reality!"

And now, I give you a chance to die in battle.

Having said that, in fact, Aconitum-23 has long understood that he is doomed.

It is impossible for him to return to the base reality alive, which has been confirmed after the other party destroyed Ye Qian's digital personality - Ye Qian, who has no synchronous information records, will never allow himself to go back alive.

He knew too well what a selfish thing that guy was.

This is a dead end for him, since this is the case, since he is destined to die, he might as well enjoy the final battle.

After all, compared to the humiliating brain death of being injected with nanotoxins in the base reality, Aconitum-23 would rather die in battle.

Or, it would be better for him to kill an adjuster who was blessed by the super abyss AI and then die.

It's just that no matter how he begs for a fight, warns, or provokes, the other party is unwilling to face it head-on.

It seems that he is determined to delay until his deadline arrives.

Finally, Aconitum-23 took a deep breath, and then said:

"Well, since that's the case, since you are willing to hide like this forever... I remember, those friends you know are still waiting for us to go back at the previous gathering place, right?"

The other party still didn't respond.

But Aconitum-23 knew he must be listening, so he continued:

"Although I don't know exactly how much the blessing you have received from Ms. Mingyue can enable you to do in the abyss and dark web... But I guess, let you protect them all by yourself, it shouldn't be An easy thing to do.

"So, you can try it, and I can try it too."

As he said that, blood-red lines lit up on Wutou-23's body again, which made him directly float in mid-air.

And behind him, the remaining vector injectors also ignited one by one.

It was also at this time that the other party finally responded.

The mist rolled away, and a quaint bluestone path appeared in front of Wutou-23.

And at the end of the road, there were three figures standing.

…………

Not long after those drones left as quickly as fleeing, Booker found that the surrounding scene suddenly became blurred.

Those containers and storage rooms all disappeared into a dense mist that rolled continuously.

"Are you confused?"

A familiar voice came from the hazy fog in all directions at this time.

Liao Qi beside him reacted much faster than himself. He turned around and looked in a certain direction, then said in a respectful tone:

"Good evening, Mr. Paradox."

Seeing this, Booker quickly turned around, and sure enough, Mr. "Paradox" composed of countless changing color blocks stood on the bluestone road that appeared at an unknown time.

"Mr. Paradox."

Seeing this, Booker also saluted respectfully.

It's no wonder that those drones all ran away...

He thought to himself, then continued to speak:

"We don't quite know what your next step is... Can you give us some more enlightenment?"

Since the previous drones disappeared, he didn't know what the next clue was.

"I've already found it here, but you still don't understand my arrangement?"

As for his question, the paradox is to ask patiently without any ups and downs in tone.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Booker felt that he was speaking faster than before.

But that's not the point, the point is what Paradox said earlier!

Although the heart had already been replaced with a more reliable power source, after hearing these words, Booker still felt as if his heartbeat missed half a beat.

Even if he didn't admit it directly, the other party's remarks sounded like he was implying...

This is real?

The second universal printer in the Nord resettlement area is really hidden in the "Theseus Warehouse"!

Mr. Paradox has verified that they have come to the right place this trip.

Suppressing his excitement, Booker tried to confirm:

"You mean to say..."

"For this, what do we need to pay?"

And Liao Qi beside him asked directly with a serious face.

He also speaks very fast.

Booker cut off the second half of his sentence in an instant—the previous self seemed a little too complacent.

"You need to live."

Paradox replied.

After speaking, he clapped his hands, and the surrounding mist instantly covered him.

"Survive from his hands to prove that you are worthy of knowing this secret."

So said Mr. Paradox before disappearing.

he?

who is he?

Then, Booker's doubts were quickly explained.

On the bluestone road where Mr. Paradox disappeared, a tall, nightmare-like figure emerged from the mist.

The lens in Bukeyi's eyes instantly widened the aperture.

He saw clearly the test object they were going to face this time.

Booker has seen similar people in the past.

Or monsters.

Cruel, fanatical, terrifying... It was a roaring three-headed dog from hell.

That is an adjustment person walking on the upgrade path Cerberus.
