Night Hacker

   Chapter 60 Mind Network

   It rained even more at night, and the neon light was almost impenetrable. The weather forecast said that there would be rain in the entire city of Liuguang tonight.

In the    Fish Pond Izakaya, there are four log dining chairs with backs scattered around the sofa, each of which sits one person.

   Ayon Kumiko, Sakai Shukichi, Lindsay who used Gu He's body, and the boxer who was too uncomfortable to sit.

  Gu Heben thought that Sakai Huaqing would also go, but it turned out that she was only responsible for taking care of the side, and brought five helmets from the bar together with Lao Fan and Lao Cai.

   "Xinnet helmets are all good products in the tripod area. It may not be as good as the equipment of Santo and Seth, but it is better to use it with confidence."

   Ayane Kumiko explained to Gu He in her mind that a single thought does not need to spend much time:

   "The talent level, program level, different occupational systems, personality integrity, mental traits, network equipment, these factors combined will affect your speed in the spiritual network, just like the speed of the Internet."

  Although Gu He is not in control of the container now, he feels as much as Miss Caiyin.

   So he can clearly see that this kind of heart mesh helmet is different from the ordinary connection helmet.

It has a larger shape and a more complex structure. It is a mixture of metal, electronics and flesh and blood. The colors are mixed and the touch is cold. The various wires and blood threads are relatively neat, and a transparent glass square eyecup covers half of the eyes. Face.

"Xiaohe, what's going on with the mind network, you will understand only after you go in, and I will take you well. After you go in, our sympathetic connection will not be disconnected, we will come back together, and if we can't come back, we won't be able to come back together. It's called personality entanglement."

In   's mind, Kumiko Ayane said again:

   "And the three of them, who didn't share our sympathy, went in separately.

   "But everyone's heart network helmets will be connected to help locate. In this way, we can easily find each other in the heart network, just like knowing the other party's website and jumping directly there.

   "Otherwise, without an agreed-upon URL coordinate, it's hard to get together, and it's easy to get separated.

   "Also, we have to connect Kazuya so that we can find the location of his personality data box."

   "Okay..." Gu He replied, and there was suddenly less room for Mai Tai.

  Is the personality entwined, that is really a life and death, Miss Caiyin is not just hiding behind her back to be the boss, this time she is also risking her life.

   Counting Kitano Kazuya, who was slumped on the sofa.

   Six people, five bodies, all wore a heart mesh helmet, and all made brain-to-brain connections through the helmet circuit.

   And Lao Fan, Lao Cai, Old Man Kitano, and Sakai Huaqing are all responsible for guarding their defenseless bodies.

   In addition to the Xinnet helmet, the street dogs have no more equipment and equipment, and there are no strange things for the rich.

   Gu He's pair of classic pilot goggles is also useless. It is impossible to simply monitor the state of the personality in the heart network.

   "Eat." Fan Debao brought the plate of food he had prepared before, and explained a few words to Gu He coldly:

"These booze and snacks are my specials to temporarily boost your nerve speed. It's called overclocking. 3rd to 4th, 6th to overdrive, overdrive to overdrive. We don't have the equipment for the rich guy. , rely on this."

   Lao Fan was quite proud of himself, and he regained some face, laughing at him one by one, not wanting to eat him.

  Cooker Occupational Department, K-level program: Overclocking Food

   With the combined effect of the first two programs, you have superb cooking skills and can identify the data of each extraordinary ingredient. The algorithm of the program is the food preparation step, and the data structure of the program is the placement of the ingredients, which maximizes the food preparation process.

   Overclocking Food, also came out, Lao Fan made cocktails and snacks this time.

  Sakai Osamu picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, while Lindsay, Kumiko, and Ayane Kumiko ate a piece of delicate dessert.

   Gu He also immediately felt that his body was hot like when he tested his talent, and his cranial nerves were also heating up.

   "Overclocking will also increase the loss of nerves, and you need to grasp that degree. I just had one time before... it was too much."

   Ayane Kumiko said again in her mind, it turned out that that was the reason for her nervous breakdown, caused by overclocking.

   This naturally made Gu He's heart rise... Overclocking and wolfberry are antonyms.

   "Old Fan, the time limit this time is one hour."

  Ayane Kumiko said aloud, "Breaking a brain slave connection, if there is no accident, an hour is enough.

   "If we haven't come out for more than an hour, then something must have happened, and the bar will be forcibly disconnected from the Internet. Xiaohe, the helmet can be forcibly disconnected, but it will greatly reduce the integrity of the person who connects to the Internet or even collapse.

   "This is a no-brainer. If your personality can escape, you may be able to save a life."

  While she was talking, the old man Kitano murmured: "Trash, trash, in order to save a trash, let so many people take risks..."

   For an hour, anything can happen in the mind network.

   The blood eaters behind the brain slaves may have already set up ambush there, waiting for them to go.

   "Okay, one hour." Lao Fan glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's half past eight, and you will be back before half past nine."

"Then I'll go, Shuzi." Lindsay said softly to Shuzi and Jiangtai, who was next to Hyun Ran, "I will try my best to save your husband, Jiangtai, I will do my best to save your father, as long as he can give you happiness, He deserves to be saved."

   "Then you all be careful..." Shuzi nodded and put all her hopes on them.

   Lindsay's mouth twitched slightly again, "Everyone, have a good time for yourself tonight!"

  Suddenly, his smart eyes under the glass blindfold quickly became blank.

   "Cheers!" Sakai Shukichi shouted, the wine red on his face soared again, and his eyes became dull.

   Boxer's alien eyes without pupils suddenly turned completely bloody.

   At the same time, Gu He's eyes that were sometimes salted and sometimes psychedelic also suddenly lost all their luster.

   They go in, they go into the psychic network.

   Sakai Huaqing watched nervously, every time he entered the heart net, he might never come back.

   Looking at her brother, Lin Sang, He Sang, and Caiyin's mother, she suddenly burst into tears and choked up slightly.

  Gu He was feeling a sudden shock of brain waves, an indescribable nerve expansion, and then expanded...

   is not the same as entering its own neural network, but the surrounding scene is also pixelated, fluttering and hazy.

  Sofa, chair, TV in wooden box, paintings on the wall, all things are blown by the night wind like curtains, and the patterns, artistic texts and religious symbols in the paintings fly out one after another.

The   Heartnet Helmet made the usual squeak and squeak of modem dialing.

   The figures of the people beside him became eerily transparent and dissipated, and the voices of conversation were looming, and gradually faded away:

   "For an hour, it's useless to guard, Lao Fan, let's play cards." Lao Cai said.

   "Alright." Fan Debao walked back to the bar, "Old Ghost Kitano, do you want to play?"

   "For those who gamble, just play a few games with you." Old Man Kitano said in a muffled voice, "If you don't gamble, play a few games."

   Kitano Kazuya, who is also wearing a helmet, is still muttering something: "We must work hard... We are going to move out of the apartment, we will have our own house and bring a small garden..."

   Suddenly, Gu He felt completely different.

   He was still in the izakaya, but the surroundings were silent, the air was like waves of water, and the lights were dim.

  Everyone disappeared, and only Ms. Ayane's body was still sitting on the edge of the bar.

   "Huh?" Gu He stood up and noticed from the TV screen in confusion that the Xinwang helmet was missing from his head.

   "Xiaohe, we're in the net." Kumiko Ayon over there, let out a chuckle.

Gu He turned her head to look again, and saw that she didn't know when she changed into a different outfit, and even her hairstyle was different. Her long black straight hair was scattered down, and she was wearing a white and red dress. She was also holding a Metal broom, broom head is all wire silicon strips.

   "Miss Caiyin?" He asked in surprise, "This is the Mind Network?"

   He didn't quite understand. He heard that the mind network is not another physical world, nor is it a dark world, why now?

   "Come and have a look."

   As soon as Gu Hegang heard Miss Caiyin say this, he saw her flashing from the bar to the door of the izakaya. Before he could react, he was also manipulated to flash to the door and stand beside her.

   He looked outside the door and was stunned.

  The entire fish pond izakaya is floating and floating. Outside is a distorted and dark space with no boundaries and no direction. There is no material form. It is full of light and mist, as if passing through a wormhole.

   Ayane Kumiko smiled slightly, and jumped outside abruptly on a metal broom.

   Following her, Gu He saw that the space outside became more substantial, and the izakaya was suspended above the sky.

A chessboard-like grid line spreads out, and there are countless magic cube-like mental data boxes, large or small, arranged on the road delineated by the grid lines, as well as ice walls, firewalls, etc. High walls and towers.

   These data buildings, endless shadow illusions, together form a matrix world.

   "Xiaohe, you are the new Internet Cowboy, welcome to Soul Network!"

   Before Gu Heduo thought about it, when he heard Miss Caiyin's smile, he was no longer standing at the door of the izakaya.

   He was also sitting on the flying metal broom, right behind Miss Ayane.

  The metal broom swept across the countless data cubes on the ground, bypassing the strange towering ice wall—

   He staggered and exclaimed in surprise. He couldn't help but hug Miss Caiyin's waist tightly, not daring to relax a little.

   "Each Rubik's Cube is the spiritual data of a life in the world. It may be a person's personality, a dog's personality, or a different species."

   Ayane Kumiko said with a smile, and suddenly she was no longer wearing a witch costume, but a circus trainer.

   They are no longer riding a broom, but a mechanical elephant made of precision gears, still extremely fast.

   "On the Mind Network, you can invade others, ordinary people and extraordinary people, steal personality data, engage in all kinds of ghosts, detect other people's secrets, make others have nightmares, and be mentally abnormal. As long as you can succeed.

   "The Mind Network has a 'Mind Network Consciousness', also known as the host. The host has conventional protection for each mind cube. That is to say, every time it invades, it will trigger the host's firewall mechanism.

   "And when it invades, there will be information movements, which means that if you expose yourself, you will attract those data hunters and information ghosts! There are hungry wolves and hungry ghosts everywhere, and they will devour other people's personality data when they look for opportunities.

   "If you don't have a clear goal, don't move. Otherwise, even if there is no hunter or ghost coming, you may provoke something you shouldn't provoke, maybe a crazy personality with a virus, maybe an abyss nightmare.

   "So Xiaohe, you have to remember that cyber cowboys will never shoot randomly! Those who do are dead."

   Listening to Miss Caiyin's teaching and looking at the endless personality Rubik's Cube on the ground, Gu He suddenly remembered something.

   The read-only storage box with the Roton-Ludd personality data is at a location in this cyberspace.

   "What about our personality cube?" Gu He asked.

   "Aren't we?" Ayane Kumiko laughed happily, "It's here, it's us, moving. We've woken up, and now for us, the real world is a dream, a boring place that lacks change."

   "And here, although it is very dangerous..." She paused, "But there are so many things to play!"

   Caiyin Kumiko's words were not finished, but Gu He exclaimed: "Be careful!"

  The surrounding matrix world changed again, the ground became like an endless circuit board, and there was a city on the circuit board.

  Whether it is a wide street or a narrow alley, every road is full of Rubik's cube boxes, crowded high-rise buildings everywhere, and various neon signs flashing with glare.

   And the mechanical elephant carrying them slammed directly into a skyscraper high-rise ahead, crashed into the wall, and penetrated through.

   "Adventure in and have fun!"

Miss Caiyin said with a smile that she went on the fashion show again, and suddenly she became the shape of a cat-ear girl, her face was painted cutely, and the cat's tail made of wires and nerve bundles hooked Gu He's ankle, not letting him fall down.

   Gu He looked back in surprise, and saw that the skyscraper was actually a standing piece of flat paper.

   Being hit by them like this, the piece of paper broke a big hole, and suddenly it all exploded into a stream of data. And in this streamer city, every building is a piece of paper, like a set board for a special film studio.

  When they flew out of the edge of the city, the whole paper city burst open and sprinkled the personality cubes everywhere.

   "These scenes, our current form, are all my imagination. I spend my energy thinking about what will happen."

   Ayane Kumiko laughed again, "Although this is not a 'Spiritual Realm', it is also due to mental data that exerts a temporary influence on this area, and other cowboys and information ghosts can also see it.

   "Also, Xiaohe, tonight, many people in this world are going to have such a dream of flying and crashing into a building."

  Gu He was listening to her, and with a sudden stroke, he saw that Miss Caiyin was disguised again.

   She is wearing a black tight leather jacket and leather pants, with a charming face on the front, but mechanical gears and a piece of flying wire and hair on the back of her head. She has become an image of metal machinery and electronic parts wrapped in outer skin.

   She straddled a cool red motorcycle with exposed steel claws on her hands and big sunglasses, like a beast.

   And he was already sitting behind her, hugging her waist tightly and burying it on her shoulders.

   "Let's go meet them." She said, "There is no physical distance in the spiritual network. As long as there is a website, you can reach it, and you will not be looking for a needle in a haystack."

   Gu He suddenly felt that it seemed to be the logo connection given by the Xinwang helmet, and Miss Caiyin drove a "jump".

   The dazzling red motorcycle was galloping, as if it had broken through the heavy fog, and traveled through the distance of 100 billion kilometers in this matrix world in a few moments. Miss Caiyin said, "Xiaohe, your internet speed is really good!"

   At this time, the surrounding scene re-condensed.

   They rode on motorcycles and drove at high speed through the circuit board streets full of Rubik's cubes.

  The roar of the engine suddenly came from the left and right sides at the same time, and several other motorcycles appeared on the street.

   "Hahaha, Gu He, how are you playing?" Osamu Sakai asked with a smile on the purple motorcycle on the left.

   "It's okay..." Gu He replied, continuing to hug the waist of Miss Caiyin's leather jacket tightly.

   And on the right, a boxer riding on a heavy black motorcycle with a guitar on his back, he said: "Here, I'm not pure word deaf, which **** likes to scold me, be careful."

   "Lindsay, what about Boxer?" Sakai Shukichi shouted to the right.

   "Boxer, singers who are not scolded are singing children's songs. Rock stars have always had mixed reputations, and even more scolded people."

Lindsay was riding a yellow motorcycle. On his motorcycle, there was an orange cat, a Shiba Inu, and a macaque standing on his shoulders. They were all fat and wearing sunglasses. I don't know if it was imagining or what.

   "Also..." Boxer muttered and frowned.

   "So **** you, screaming and yelling is not the same as singing." Lindsay scolded loudly.

   "Let's go, let's find Kazuya Kitano's personality cube!" Miss Ayane shouted.

   Immediately, the five people drove four motorcycles of different colors on the circuit board street, constantly bypassing the oncoming Rubik's Cubes and towers one by one, and racing away.

   Around them, are constantly changing light and shadow, various matrix illusions appear and dissipate interactively.

  Behind their car, there are four dazzling and psychedelic light-band afterimages of purple, red, yellow and black.

   Thank you Squid for the chapter push, which is very helpful to both books, thank you! Although we don't need to publicize it, I still push back the "Long Night After Fire" by Squid. It is a very beautiful wasteland text with interesting details and taste. It is highly recommended!
