Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 47 NO.002f: The Trial Begins

After hearing the word "trial" from "Paradox", Booker turned around suddenly, and at the same time, the Aegis I individual combat module on his body was activated instantly.

Although in the basic reality, his combat module is still in a damaged state, and it needs to rely on a universal printer to completely repair it. But at this moment, it is in the abyss dark net, and any transformation authority bound to the adjuster's mandala can be called out in the form of data at any time.

Accompanied by the slight sound of mechanical operation, the silver-white carapace wrapped Booker like an exoskeleton.

Standing behind him and Liao Qi was a female silhouette also composed of countless changing color blocks.

What's this?

Is it a dependent of "paradox"?

Booker thought nervously.

And Jiang Zhou, who seemed to be sitting casually beside the textile machine, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

During the seven or eight hours he sat in that dilapidated iron tower, he was not just admiring the dilapidated scenery of this semi-finished city. During the period, he researched the possible reasons why he was able to drag Liao Qi to the abyss and dark web.

There is no doubt that today's Abyss Darknet is an iterative product based on the JZ network protocol designed by him back then. Although after a hundred years of development, it has become a kind of existence that is almost incomprehensible to oneself, but some concepts at the bottom will not change.

The account of "Jiang Zhou" or "Theseus" went down to the abyss darknet at Depth 2 through the α-level deep dive interface of Pluto Deep Dive Company.

The "Liao Qi" account came here through his own authority.

As for the "Booker" account, that's even more incidental.

In other words, Jiang Zhou is the node of the data flow, the network cable through which Booker and Liao Qi, the controllable elements, can come here.

This can also explain why when they look at themselves, they see a mass of changing color blocks.

Changing color blocks are a common phenomenon when visualizing data exceeds the processing limit.

Everything that Booker and Liao Qi saw and experienced in the abyss dark net, including this sky, including this city, was presented through Jiangzhou, an information transfer station.

Because the flow of information transmitted by oneself is too large, when it is generated into a visual image, it naturally exceeds the limit that they can carry and what they can process.

Of course, this is also thanks to the outstanding performance of the company's deep dive sub-warehouse, as well as the delay-free connection between myself and Liao Qi, so there will be no loading problems.

After understanding this point, Jiang Zhou easily wrote some simple programs that can be called child's play through the brain-computer interface.

It's just a blindfold that works for Booker-automatically change the sound he hears into a meaningless electric sound, and add a layer of mosaic textures to some things he sees.

like...

"Hiss - sizzle -"

After Booker finished preparing for battle, the female silhouette made of finely divided color blocks made a dangerous sound towards him.

As for that voice, from Jiang Zhou's side, the general meaning is as follows.

"This is the horse you said you found for me?!"

Its tone of voice was somewhere between anger and confusion. After all, it was just a malicious program of depth 2. Facing a senior adjuster of depth 3 alone, the roles between hunter and prey were switched instantly.

Regarding this, Jiang Zhou just nodded invisibly, and then replied in a teasing tone:

"That's right, now, you can start your trial."

"clear!"

Booker, who thought "paradox" was talking to himself, gritted his teeth and replied.

He instantly entered a fighting state.

"Hiss, sizz, zi, zi, zi -"

(You lied to me, the data volume of the other party is enough to completely destroy me)

After hearing Jiang Zhou's ridicule, the woman in black gauze said so and began to take off her disguise.

This black-veiled figure is just an interface it uses to communicate with visitors from the base reality. And after realizing the unexpected danger, it directly tore off the useless painted skin, revealing its true form.

The eight serrated blades were like the hem of a dancing skirt, extending from the waist with a "swish", and then fell to the ground with a "crack", smashing the solid ground.

Blood-red lights lit up like eyes one by one on its huge metal body that broke out of the cocoon.

In the end, a fusiform metal spider with a height of three meters and a hard metal exoskeleton stretched its body.

On the other hand, from Booker's perspective, after "Paradox" notified him to start the trial, accompanied by a terrifying roar, the silhouette of the woman instantly changed into...

"Arachne II Stalker?!"

After seeing the outline of the other party's transformation, Booker was a little surprised and said.

Although the opponent is still composed of countless fine color blocks, and the specific details cannot be seen clearly, according to the outline of the opponent, Booker can roughly judge its type.

Arachne II Stalker, a common malicious program in depth 2, KZ quadrant, is suspected to be a specialized self-discipline machine designed to be used as a search and arrest for urban security and street fighting.

If you defeat the opponent, you can get several good technological blueprints.

"How? Is she dangerous? Can the two of us handle this?"

Liao Qi, who was beside Booker, saw that he seemed to recognize the other party's identity, and immediately asked.

"For you, there is a certain danger..."

Booker answered cautiously.

But for him, if there is only one, the degree of danger is average.

Of course, if you want to kill the opponent, you still need to spend some hands and feet.

And it will overturn if it is not guaranteed.

Therefore, choosing the Arachne II stalker as a trial, is the "paradox" a consideration based on the strength of the two of them?

Booker thought.

But in any case, the thing in front of them is not something they cannot defeat.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease.

If it was the silhouette of the female figure from before, he couldn't estimate the opponent's strength, and his heart was always hanging in the air.

He originally thought that the trial would be a narrow escape, but now it seems that it is very reasonable?

"I have already shared what I know and information about the other party through the communication channel."

said Booker.

Liao Qi on the side nodded calmly, and then said:

"Booker, knife."

The redundant module of Aegis behind him regenerated a monomolecular katana in Booker's hand, and he threw it to Liao Qi who was aside.

The Icarus at depth 1 is the adjustment direction of the melee specialization type. There is no convenient weapon in the transformation. It is not a loss-making business to consume some redundant modules to create a convenient weapon for Liao Qi.

"Let's go together."

Liao Qi who took the knife said so.

There is one more thing to watch tomorrow morning, everyone, something is delayed today
