Abyssal Wanderer

The Styx faded away, and the resentful souls dissipated—the information left by Liao Qi made Christie withdraw from the temporarily constructed network domain and prepare to return to the basic reality.

However, it is impossible to do so in the originally mutually balanced network domain battle without any cost. The moment when the external computing power is disconnected when going offline is the most vulnerable moment for the adjuster.

As for Perseus No. 1, which also reached the limit of human intelligence, it is naturally impossible to let go of this opportunity. He calculated the timing exactly, and manipulated Pegasus to flash over.

First, he pulled out the head of the Gorgon from the magic pocket at his waist. The deadly gaze of the decapitated monster stained Christie's substitute with the gray-white petrified curse. Immediately afterwards, No. 1 jumped off the back of Pegasus, stepped on the flying shoes with fluttering wings, and stepped over in the air. The sickle in his hand slashed from a tricky angle, crushing Christie's already petrified left arm.

All of this happened in a blink of an eye, and the temporary network domain immediately collapsed. This mythical and grand scene faded like a convergent function amidst the extinction of countless pixels.

Christie and Perseus No. 1 returned to the negative seventh floor of the Nord Settlement Area—leaving away from the vast world of numbers and graphics, and returning to the cold reality governed by the laws of physics.

"Grass……"

The moment consciousness returned to the prosthetic body, Christie cursed softly.

No. 1's final attack caused her ice wall to be eroded to a certain extent.

The other party broke through several ice walls of her own, and implanted a large number of self-discipline viruses into her prosthetic body.

Although this will not cause her prosthetic body to be taken over and controlled by the opponent, or directly detonate her own energy core. But in order to isolate and suppress the damage of those malicious viruses, at this moment, Christie's prosthetic body is only left with less than 70% of its heyday.

However, the strange thing is that after obtaining such a tactical advantage, the opponent did not continue to attack immediately. Instead, he manipulated the "Aegis" individual combat module, began to repair the wounds left by the previous battle, and at the same time generated several drone structures around him.

The opponent didn't take advantage of this opportunity to attack directly, so naturally they had some bigger plot. But the current situation made Christie no longer have any energy to worry about the other party.

Blood-red lines clung to her pitch-black armor, and with the support of the anti-gravity force field, Christie raised her steel wings and flew into the air. At the same time, she projected her humanoid interactive image in front of Liao Qi through the drone.

With a glimmer of hope, Christie planned to try to wake up the guy who rescued himself from the City of Sages earlier.

At this moment, Liao Qi has burnt and melted circuits exposed all over his body, and the radiator on the right side has been melted due to overclocking, and blue tongues of flame continue to emerge from it.

The ferrofluid covering his body, like a shapeless fungus, took on a disturbing shape. The bionic skin covering his body has long been burned into a crispy shell in the battle along the way. On the only skull with original skin, the skin was burned together with the flesh and blood until the face was covered with charcoal black, outlining the shape of the skull.

Looking at the image of the other party, what Christie originally wanted to say was blocked - if it wasn't for the people from Wolfsbane Army who confirmed that the person in front of him was Liao Qi, if it wasn't for his own scan, the other party was Icarus The adjuster of the path... It is absolutely impossible for her to connect the prosthetic body in front of her, which is about to be scrapped, with the person she met in Narcissus Plain.

Everyone in Wolfsbane's army breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the high-level man who had reached the limit of human intelligence had come to support him.

Although they will inevitably be punished when they return to the company, at least for now, they have finally escaped from the hands of that cyber lunatic—before they came, they never thought that in such a remote place, will encounter such a powerful enemy.

【Finally saved】

[Originally thought that the intensity of the public security war was at most one level... This mission is too tragic]

[By the way, where did this guy's advanced prosthetic bodies come from? It is impossible for similar prosthetics to enter the civilian population]

[No matter how advanced his prosthetic body is, it is just a round of confrontation in front of Ms. Lin Yuanzhe]

[Sigh... the previous old 9 and old 11 are really a pity, obviously they only need to persist for a few more minutes]

【Then what about his threat to blow up the entire resettlement area? 】

[Don't worry, these rats still underestimate the power of the company's top management. Using extermination weapons as a deterrent, such a serious violation of the "Olympus Agreement", will completely lift the restrictions on the shots of adjusters with a depth of 7 or higher... So, let's wait and see the show]

Maybe it was because they relaxed, the surviving members of the Wolfsbane army began to discuss each other in the teammate channel.

But in this relaxed atmosphere of the rest of his life, only Aconitum-1 remained calm and vigilant. He immediately contacted Christie and said:

[Ms. Christie, the strength of the prosthetic body on the opponent is very strong, please be careful...Here are the parameters of the prosthetic body that I collected and sorted out in the battle, maybe it can provide some help]

After speaking, he immediately sent the data packet over.

Of course, Aconitum-1 understands that Christie doesn't need these data at all to deal with that cyberpsychopath—the difference in strength between the two sides is too huge, and the other party can't even make the airborne company executive really do it.

But even if it doesn't make sense, I still have to do it.

This is to show goodwill. After all, they were the first to provoke this matter. Right now, they can remedy some, so as to show their own attitude; Christie is even more able to make this high-level executive who intends to upgrade to a depth of 8 in the Nord resettlement area give up support for Icarus and accept the team arranged for her by the company.

In this way, the sacrifice of their Wolfsbane troops coming here was not wasted.

However, the other party directly refused to receive the data packet sent by itself.

This bad omen made Aconite-1's heart sink suddenly.

Faintly, a sense of uneasiness that he messed up something began to spread in his heart.

But before Aconitum-1 continued to probe, Christie's projection spoke the first words to the lunatic, causing him to short-circuit his thinking and freeze in mid-air.

"Hey! Kid, do you remember me?"

The tone of her speech was not as indifferent and detached as when she assigned tasks with them, but was full of emotion and humanity like a native person.

It was as if Liao Qi was her long-time friend.

But... Didn't Christie, known as the "Abyssal One", be exiled to the abyss and dark net during the second cyber domain war and exist as a "Wandering One"?

In terms of age, Liao Qi's mother may have just been born when she was trapped in the abyss.

How could the two of them know each other? !

But on the other hand, at this moment, Liao Qi didn't pay any attention to Christie's greeting.

Originally, he was chasing a member of Wolfbane's team, but when he saw Christie's projection actively approaching, he let go of the two high-frequency floating blades in his hands, which were as big as door panels, and slashed at the drone that Christie dropped. past. (end of this chapter)
