I Was Once a Legend

Like many times before when he fell into the illusion of Fu Zhe, after a journey of dark fall, Dong Zheng suddenly saw a flower, and when it was clear again, he was already standing on the dark green information highway.

The firewall was broken and a large gap was formed. The protective sky above the head was also covered with cracks. The black illegal data overflowed in pieces. Security phages were flying from all directions towards the crack and repaired at the fastest speed.

[Service Access Rules... Repair is complete. 】

[Verification Tool... The repair is complete. 】

Dong Zhengchao glanced over there and withdrew his gaze. During these days of training, he found that the self-healing function of the firewall is very powerful in his program kernel. If there is no large-scale breach, he will not be required to participate in the repair.

Of course, large-scale damage has not occurred so far.

The data on the expressway moved rapidly, automatically bypassing him in the middle of the road, along the unknown established track, and galloping into the distance.

At the moment Dong Zheng turned his gaze, at the end of Yu Guang, there seemed to be a slender figure standing quietly on the other road and looking at him.

[You see it. 】

Dong Zheng immediately looked over there, but when he fixed his eyes, he found nothing.

Dong Zheng:....................................

"It will let the victim turn his head, pass the window, mirror, and suddenly glimpse the abnormal creature when opening the door, and continue to be disturbed and attacked by the abnormal creature during sleep..." Cui Zuojing's voice seemed to echo in his ear, Dong Zheng took a deep breath. Understand that this is probably the test that Fu Zhe gave him.

Being able to implant complete illusions in the core of his program and the world he dominates, Fu Zhe's control of his ability is really unfathomable.

Dong Zheng closed his eyes, quietly calmed his breathing and heartbeat, the surrounding data, security bacteriophage, reptiles, and meditation all seemed to be under his perception.

Coming for a long time, long time when he seemed to be asleep, Dong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.

The slender humanoid is standing less than a meter in front of him, reaching out with an oversized hand, trying to touch him. When Dong Zheng opened his eyes, the fingers of this hand almost touched his throat.

It has pure white eyes and a mouth stitched with needle thread.

Realizing that it was discovered by Dong Zheng, a panic look appeared on the tan face of the humanoid, and he quickly withdrew his hand and turned to run away at a very fast speed.

Dong Zheng immediately took a step to catch up, but the humanoid was running too fast, just like when Dong Zheng turned his head and disappeared instantly, it seemed that he would lose track in a blink of an eye.

In desperation, Dong Zheng grabbed the foot of a reptile next to him, and thought about it.

[Grab it. 】

The reptile turned around and took Dong Zheng towards the slender figure. Dong Zheng jumped to its wide back, staring like a horse, staring closely at the figure in front.

The reptile was fast and quickly caught up with the humanoid figure. The thing looked back and saw that Dong Zheng was about to chase, suddenly stopped, gave up running, and turned around to extend his wide hand.

[It touches you. 】

When the hand touches the reptile, everything, including time and space, seems to be still. The humanoid smiles to Dong Zheng with an unidentified smile, and disappears before his eyes.

Also disappearing are the crawlers under Dong Zheng.

[Package filtering... repair is complete. 】

Dong Zheng fell to the ground, and he got up and looked around, only to find himself in a completely strange place.

The cobweb-like highway is the only one left, and the sky is no longer full of strange-colored floating things, but pure white like the ground underfoot.

Clean, pure white.

He felt the wind blowing against his cheeks, but the firewall was still standing far and far, silently guarding this world.

Here is still his core world, or rather, the core of the core.

In the middle of the pure white space, there is a very bright green.

Dong Zheng walked over and squatted beside it.

This is a small green plant with delicate emerald green stems emerging from the rosette-like basal leaves, and a white flower bag of rice grain size at the top, which is a little bit small and wrapped with yellow-green stamens.

Arabidopsis thaliana.

This kind of roadside can be seen everywhere, and the humble grass grows quietly and blooms.

Dong Zheng reached out his hand and touched the edge of its fluffy leaf with his fingertips. The grass shook, and the leaf embraced his finger intimately.

The feeling that he and Cui Zuojing were connected by blood contract reappeared with unprecedented intensity and clarity.

At this moment he felt the panic and depression from the teenager, and there seemed to be something stuck in Cui Zuojing's chest, blocking all the surging emotions that were about to erupt.

Dong Zhengwu thought of Cui Zuojing's cold, embery eyes.

Did he panic?

He hesitated, just like petting the head of a small animal or a child, gently touching the leaves.

The sense of confusion from Cui Zuojing was almost immediately alleviated. Unlike Cui Zuojing who could see the outside world through his eyes and ears while in prisoner space, Dong Zheng could not clearly see what happened to Cui Zuojing , Can only perceive the state of the other party.

Shouldn't Cui Zuojing wait for him to wake up at this time, or be with other people in the castle? Why is there such a strong negative emotion?

Dong Zheng did not know.

But he still used his own methods to try to reduce these emotions as much as possible. The leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana held his fingers as if he were in a turbulent wind and rain, and wanted to find a way to rely.

Dong Zheng just sat next to the grass for a long time. He stared at the only color in this pure white world, suddenly stretched out his hand, and grabbed it in the void.

A small watering can appeared in his hand out of thin air, and Dong Zheng watered the little plant.

He waited patiently for a while, feeling that the negative emotions from Cui Zuojing were eased again.

If he guessed right, this Arabidopsis thaliana is the reflection of Cui Zuojing in his spiritual world under the blood contract. The state of the grass always reflects the state of Cui Zuojing, and he can also take care of it Methods to improve Cui Zuojing's physical and mental condition.

The grass was sufficiently watered and let Dong Zheng loose his fingers.

At this time, the feeling of being peeped appeared again.

Dong Zheng's relaxed eyebrows once again became solemn. He put down the watering can in his hand, stood up, and at the moment of turning his head, he glanced at the slender figure flashed by.

Dong Zheng caught up.

Fu Zhe's test is far from over.

...

Cui Zuojing hurriedly walked into the alley, carrying a black schoolbag, and walked in the direction of home as many times as usual.

Today is his sixteenth birthday, and his parents specifically told him to go home early and give him a birthday.

So he applied for leave in the evening, as a teacher's most beloved student, this leave naturally passed smoothly.

The street lamp in the alley is probably broken, flashing all the time, leaving a dim and bright alternating scene on the retina.

Cui Zuojing was a little scared. He accelerated his pace and planned to pass the road at the fastest speed.

The lamp flickered twice unsteadily, dimmed again, and at the end of the alley, a thin figure was staring at him silently.

Cui Zuojing:? ! ? ! ? ! ? !

At the moment when Cui Zuojing saw it, the figure turned around and fled quickly.

The boy stopped stiffly. He was very true. Just now there was a strange man suddenly appeared at the end of the alley, still watching him!

It was quiet all around, the whistle of the car on the main road was distant and unclear, the fear was fermenting, and Cui Zuojing couldn't restrain his breath.

Don't be afraid, you may just be wrong. How could there be someone who looks like that in this world?

He tried his best to persuade himself and force his mind, thinking of his family's instructions before going to school and taking another step.

At the moment when his footsteps fell, his hands suddenly stretched out from behind, covering his nose and nose, the blade fell into his body, and the sharp pain lashed from the back along the nerves into the brain, which also made the heart panic. Reached the extreme.

The knife was drawn mercilessly, bringing out a large amount of blood, and then stabbed into it again.

Cui Zuojing realized at that time that in the real extreme pain, people simply could not utter any screams.

The vision gradually blurred, and the slender shadow appeared before his eyes again. It stood there without making any sound, watching Cui Zuojing get stabbed with a knife, and another knife.

Stop, stop!

He tried to make some resistance, but his body kept calling.

Just when Cui Zuojing thought he would die like this, all the fear and panic and deep despair seemed to be wiped out by an invisible pair of hands, making him suddenly clear again.

He struggled to break the man's hand away from his imprisonment, shouted, and turned around in the interval where the knife stabbed again—

There was nothing behind him.

There was no murderer with a knife, and the light of the street lamp was as usual as there was no sign of damage. There were no more than ten deep wounds and no blood on his body.

Cui Zuojing breathed heavily. He closed his eyes, stepped back two steps, and leaned his back against the wall. It seemed that this was the only way to prevent him from falling.

Even though he experienced so much and struggled so much in the realm of pure white land, what scared him most was the moment he was killed on the night of his sixteenth birthday.

Fu Zhe's bell took him deep into his heart, the most feared place.

He leaned quietly for a while, somehow, the negative confusion that should have appeared did not become strong.

Although he left his feelings to the clown for safekeeping, he still had emotions.

This shouldn't be.

Cui Zuojing frowned, looking at the end of the alley, where the slender figure stood unexpectedly.

As long as you catch up with it, you can go out from here?

[Application Gateway Repair 98/100...]

[The application gateway is repaired. 】

The last line of defense of the firewall was finally successfully restored. Under Dong Zheng’s attention, the slender humanoid body started from his feet and gradually turned into a series of black 0s and 1s, floating in the air and gradually fading away.

The illusion created by Fu Zhe was finally cracked under the defense of Dong Zheng's program kernel.

The dark blue protective force field is as smooth as ever, and everything in the inner core is operating in an orderly manner, maintaining the rules and balance of this world, it seems to be no different from before.

But Dong Zheng knew that in this exploration, he found the core of the inner core world, the pure white space that he controlled completely, and the central Arabidopsis plant that might represent Cui Zuojing.

He held out his hand, and a series of data ripples were caused by the surface of the firewall that he encountered, which gradually became translucent, revealing a passage that only he could pass safely.

He went out.

Dong Zheng opened his eyes and was squinted by the bright white light.

His chest was so heavy that he was a little out of breath. He lowered his head, Cui Zuojing was lying there motionless, half of his body pressed against his chest, the headphones fell aside, and the bell fell on the bed, telling What happened to Dong Zheng.

Dong Zheng raised his hand and squeezed his eyebrows, and lay down for a while before getting up and holding Cui Zuojing, who was still immersed in the illusion, and let the teenager lie down in bed.

He himself took Cui Zuojing's earphones and put them in the sound of music, carefully sealed the bell tongue with tape and put it in the box.

After finishing this, Dong Zheng once again took out his mobile phone and sat on the bed to continue to read Fu Zhe's information.

...

"Ok……"

The young boy moaned to pull Dong Zheng back from Cthulhu's worldview. Dong Zheng turned his head, and Cui Zuojing squinted at his back. The expression on his face, besides doubts, seemed to have some indescribable sadness. .

"How long have you been awake?" Cui Zuojing's voice was very soft.

Dong Zheng glanced at the time: "It's almost an hour soon."

Cui Zuojing raised his hand to cover his eyes, and sincerely sighed: "It is worthy of being a developer of the brain domain. It took me a month to wake up, and I can't keep up with you."

Dong Zheng Guan Er, he thought of the emotions that Arabidopsis conveyed to him in the inner core, and some wanted to ask Cui Zuojing what he had experienced in the illusion, but he didn't say anything after all.

The blood contract can bring them, it seems far more than the ones you see.
