Sword of Daybreaker

Selena Gehrfen, holding a lantern in her hand, stood quietly in front of the fireplace with a gentle and friendly smile on her face. A faint white halo escaped from the outline of her figure, the halo and the body There is a slight sense of translucency in the connection-this is not because Selena has a problem with her "psychological projection" control, but a trace she deliberately created, so that people in the real world can Distinguish the boundary of the phantom in front of you.

After the "Administrative Measures for Neural Networks and Derivative Technologies (Interim was officially promulgated, "Unless an application is filed in advance, Internet residents who use psychological projections for activities in the material world should proactively mark their projection ranges to prevent residents from affecting the material world "Life or interference with the judgment of law enforcement agencies" has become a formal law, and Selena Gore herself is one of the drafters of this law. She will follow the rules and be managed with her, including other old immortals. Priests, senior neural network technicians, and members of the Immortal Association.

The official name of these people is "Internet residents", but Patty has also heard that the great Gawain Cecil gave these people who can live on the Internet for a long time, and even have uploaded their souls to the Internet. A very strange name-Your Majesty called them "Cyber ​​Residents"... I don't understand what this strange word means.

It sounds like a "magic capacitor" that causes scholars to lose their hair.

Some weird thoughts popped up in her mind, Patty smiled happily, she stretched out her arms towards the armrest immersed in the side of the cabin, and there are still mottled and undulating scars on her slightly thin arms-reconstructed by regeneration technology Her muscles, the surgically implanted active bones, and the artificial nerve bundles were operating at the same time, which made her hold the silver-white alloy with a little difficulty, and slowly propped up her upper body from the seat.

All this is still very difficult for her. Although the flesh regeneration technology and modern artificial nerve technology from the end-of-life society have almost reconstructed more than half of the damaged tissues of the body, human beings are in the soul domain and the brain micro domain. The cognition is still too superficial. Scholars cannot let a person who has been paralyzed for nearly ten years learn how to command a body assembled with biochemical technology in a short time. It is extremely difficult for a healthy person to do all this. This is especially true for Di.

What's more, these pieced together body structures themselves have countless defects in their mutual cooperation... It is not easy for them to merge and match to the extent that they are no longer mutually exclusive and can maintain operation.

After an unfamiliar and slow operation, Patty finally managed to sit up with her own efforts. She exhaled slightly, with a triumphant smile on her face, and looked at the wheelchair parked in the corner not far from her neck. Behind, a section of silver-white artificial spine is closely attached to the surface of the skin. The neatly arranged alloy rune pieces have received the nerve signals of the host, and dense lights will light up in the gaps. The strangely shaped wheelchair in the corner follows the inside. There was a pleasant humming sound. Driven by a small engine and a series of gears and connecting rods, it slid towards the immersion cabin.

Selena watched all this quietly, and only then broke the silence: "Need help?"

"No, I can." Patty immediately waved her hand, and then began to slowly remove her body from the immersion cabin. With the help of a series of handrails, she struggled to "translate" herself into the special wheelchair. , And just such a few simple movements have caused a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

But after all, she completed all the actions with her own efforts-these actions that she couldn't even imagine a few years ago. The wound on her body no longer hurts and itchy, and breathing and turning of the head have become painless things. She felt joyful for her "success" for a while, then adjusted her posture in the wheelchair and raised her hand to explore. Going to the back of the head, he fumbled to the end of the "nervous thorns", and pulled this seemingly hard, but very flexible metal "spine" aside due to the large number of hinge structures. After groping for several times, I connected it to the back of the wheelchair. In a nerve node.

In an instant, the ice-cold and rigid machinery that had been a second before seemed to come alive. It made a series of subsystem activation sounds. Some of the locked mechanisms were also unlocked under Patty's command. The wheelchair lightly rotated halfway on the spot. Circle, came to Serena briskly, the girl sitting on it with a bright smile on her face, deliberately greeted in an exaggerated tone: "Long time no see,'Sister Serena'~~"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Selena's face for a moment: "Patti, don't use this name..."

It is obviously a fulfilling thing for Patty to make someone like Selena show such an awkward look. The smile on her face is getting brighter, but she also knows how to take it if it’s good. Well, it’s just a joke...but why did you come here suddenly? Isn’t the computing center very busy recently?"

"I came to your mother to discuss some things, and at the same time I came to see your situation," Selena smiled gently, and at the same time looked at the girl in front of her seriously, "How is it? How is your health better recently?"

"My health is very good, much better than before," Patty looked down at herself, and responded briskly. Then she frowned again, and said uncertainly, "And I don't know if it's an illusion...I It seems that my body suddenly becomes a little lighter? Just when I came out of the immersion cabin, a finger that was originally not very obedient suddenly became easier to use..."

Selena's gaze changed a little in an instant, but her smile quickly covered everything. She seemed very happy, and even reached out to touch Patty's hair-almost the same touch as real Passed into Patty’s perception through the illusion spell: "This is really good news. It shows that your soul has finally begun to accept this body. It also shows that these new biological tissues in your body are finally about to fuse into a real whole. ."

"Really?" Patty blinked, a little disbelief, "But Grandpa Pittman said that this situation is basically impossible... He said that my current state is basically the best situation..."

"Patti," Selena put her hand on the girl's head, with a faint smile on her face, "sometimes miracles happen."

Patty seemed to understand, she always felt that Selena's performance today was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell where this feeling came from, so she nodded: "Although I don't understand, it sounds like a good thing. ..."

"Of course it's a good thing," Selena smiled and straightened up, and then seemed to ask casually, "By the way, did you encounter any interesting people and things in the neural network today?"

"Interesting people and things?" Patty thought for a while, and counted it down while organizing the language. "Yes, I met a nervous apprentice mage at first, he was secretly connected with the instructor's immersion cabin. Because I didn’t want to write math papers, I ran to the city of dreams to take refuge, but the tutor found him shortly after he even came in. I saw him being pressed by the tutor on a chair in the triangle square and writing a big question for two hours... There is also a lady who uses the Internet for the first time. When she named her, she insisted on adding a lot of her own honorary titles and titles that she came up with, so the automatic optimization of the system was triggered, and there was only a string on her head wherever she went. The ellipsis..."

Patty talked enthusiastically about what he saw and heard in the neural network. At the end, it seemed that he suddenly remembered something. He quickly added: "Ah, by the way, I saw Mr. High Speed ​​Bucks again. I didn’t play cards or quarrel with people. Instead, I learned how to create things with my mind in the city of dreams. He took a small flower I created by myself as a gift, but before I could finish thanking him, he suddenly stopped. It's online..."

"Mr. High Speed ​​Buck..." Selena couldn't help showing a slightly weird smile on her face, "So, you have accepted his gift?"

"Yeah, but I don't know why, that flower disappeared very quickly," Patty blinked a little confused, "and when he left the Internet suddenly, I was a little worried... He seemed to be real. It's an elderly gentleman, Sister Selena, you said he won't have any trouble in the real world, right?"

"Don't worry, Patty, every immersion cabin has a monitoring device. If a user has a problem, they will immediately send an alarm to the nearest computing center." Selena seemed to be holding back a laugh, and said in comfort, "That Mr. High-Speed ​​Bucks should just leave suddenly because of something--maybe he is playing cards with his friends at this time?"

...

In a lounge in Cracked Stone Fort, Lopez Glenn sits on a high-back chair next to the window. The sun has gradually tilted through the window, bringing the heat of summer, and the sound of insects is blocked by the double crystal glass. Outside, it sounds as if it is coming from a long distance, the ventilation system is running quietly in the ceiling, and the airflow after cooling allows the room to maintain a comfortable environment.

Penny’s eyes fell on the table. It was the report she had just read halfway through. Under the dim sunlight, the lines of letters in the report appeared in her eyes:

…To sum up, the nerve cords laid in the first phase of the project have been successfully fused in the embedded pipelines in the workshop and realized bio-signal transmission. The operating efficiency of the biomass circulation pipes meets the design standards. The nerve fiber network and machine terminals The effective connection between the main brain and auxiliary brain is in good physiological condition, and the simulation operation has been realized. The first experimental workshop can be inspected and accepted at any time and put into use...

Penny carefully read every word in the report. The black spar pendant of her earlobe trembles slightly in the air with the subtle movements of her moving eyes. The delicately cut crystal surface constantly reflects the magnificent sunlight color, and the room is quiet. Only the sound of paper turning-this silence lasted for a long time, was finally broken by a deliberate "footstep".

Noble Lady Gulen raised her head and saw the node bachelor Selena Gore with a lantern in her hand appearing at the door of the room not far away. She seemed to have just opened the door and walked in - but in fact the door never Once opened, this roamer from the online world has never stepped on the corridor outside the door that should be empty at the moment.

According to the formation mechanism of the psychological projection, Luo Pei Ni knew that before she turned her head and looked over, there was only one person in this room, and the other side's figure appeared after her gaze—this is the neural network and human senses. The wonderful effect of system interaction.

With a smile on his face, the district governor nodded to Selena: "I thought you would stay with Patty a little longer."

"She and I can meet in the City of New Dreams at any time, but a busy consul like you doesn't have much time to stay in the neural network," Selena smiled, and walked towards the Lady Lopenie, "I hope I will not bother you. To your work."

Ropey Glen’s gaze fell on this lady who "survived" in the form of a cyber ghost. At this moment, she suddenly felt the unpredictable fate of her-as if it was not long ago, this lady and her behind In his own eyes, the power represented is still a downright dark sect. It is a group of people who need to be vigilant and even need to report hostility. However, a great change tore the ancient sect and also subverted everyone's attitude towards the gods and the eternal sleepers. Now these surviving immortals have become technical personnel of the Cecil Empire, enemies who need to be vigilant in the past...At this time, they have also become their own.

Even his own people with fairly good relationships.

"No interruption," Luo Peini nodded, "I just finished processing this report, and then I only have to go to the factory to see it-there is still some time before that."

"That's right," Selena said immediately. "We can talk about Patty."

Speaking of Patty, the expression on Penny’s face immediately became serious. She first signaled Selena to sit down on the opposite chair (although a cyber ghost doesn’t need to sit down, it can make the conversation easier) , Then asked with a serious face: "Has she...has been in contact with the target?"

"It's not appropriate to use'contact', they have been in contact many days ago," Selena first corrected the female noble statement, and then nodded, "The last test is over, the **** of nature gives With Patty a small'gift', everything is as we expected-and the two parties are not affected by any external will. The information is kept closed throughout the whole process. The test is conducted in a pure state, and the result should be very reliable.

"At present, Amoen has been temporarily isolated from the deep network by Naritil, receiving the highest degree of surveillance and isolation, but Patty doesn't know anything."

Ropey nodded silently, and asked after a few seconds: "After this, what will happen to Patty?"

"The power of the God of Nature will work-although this power has been weakened a lot and no longer possesses the power of the'miracle' level, it is still enough to make a weak mortal girl healthy. Patty's body Those uncoordinated man-made tissues and original tissues will gradually adapt, her soul and spirit will be repaired, and she will heal...Of course there may be a little trace, but overall, she will enter into health and health. adult.

"You can even look forward to seeing her stand up on her own, walk towards you, and accept your blessings and hugs on her adult day."

The breathing of the Noble Lady Lopeini could not help but become a bit rapid and obvious. She took a deep breath, and firmly grasped the armrest of the chair with her fingers to maintain her calmness. After calming down for a few seconds, she asked: "That what do I need to do?"

"Cooperate with our observations in the next hour-we are from the network level, you from the reality level. Pay close attention to Patty's actions to see if she has sudden whispers or prayers, and see if she will act as if she is listening What kind of voice looks like, and most importantly... see if she will mention the two names of'Amorn' or'God of Nature'."
