[Start connecting to subspace... The connection is successful. 】

[Locating Cloud City... Positioning completed. 】

[Send login request...]

[Send login request...]

[The server is busy, please try again later. 】

Is that some weird low-cost computer room there? Hey!

Because this response was so outrageous, Kangna, who was accustomed to waiting for her destination to arrive in a blink of an eye, couldn't help but complain loudly - if she could speak now.

[Relocating... Positioning failed. 】

[Reconnecting...Connection failed. 】

[An abnormality in the connected device has been detected and attempts have been stopped. 】

Okay, this is totally kicked out.

Thinking about it, I used to use my own "machine" to connect to Cloud City. Now I have become a human and use the connection frame of "Galaxy Human". If I can log in easily, the security of Cloud City will be compromised. Questionable.

However, you can’t get stuck here. This is the hinterland of the Reapers. If you just wander around in the subspace...

[Nearby network detected, please select a new connection. 】

After a moment of lag, a new prompt box appeared.

[thegrox, signal strength: extremely strong. 】

[Kama Taj, signal strength: strong. (Lock)】

[Normandy shipboard connection program, signal strength: weak. (can be connected)]

Hmm... With such shameful intensity, no wonder it can't be connected.

Of course, there are also reasons for the existence of "memory connection".

Directly connecting to grox is obviously not an option. Judging from Locke's lack of explanation, he and others should not go directly into dangerous places. This "connection program" should be the key.

Karma Taj...Kanna misses Raven a little, after all, they haven't seen each other for two years, but she just doesn't know if the digital life will grow up.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try without spending any money, Kangna poked the second one with her mind.

[Please enter your password. 】

Hmm... Password? Although I am familiar with Ruiwen and often chat in my free time, the LAN password of Kama Taj is really not included in the chat.

She tried entering answers such as "The Sorcerer Supreme", "Dr. Strange Arts", "Riven", "Abigail", "I am Batman", etc. As expected, none of them were correct.

Forget it, if the delay continues, Mr. Neo, the already connected savior, will probably have to wait impatiently.

Connor switched to the last network that didn't require a password.

[Entering the connection program...entry successful. 】

【linkstart! 】

【standby...】

Colorful lights came towards me as if they were passing through a mass effect tunnel.

————

"——You want to say that this situation is normal? We have been here for a long time!"

"[I guarantee that nothing unexpected happened. Kangna's vital signs and brain wave frequency are very stable.]"

"Then why is she so slow?"

"[For example, how can a small game with tens of gigabytes load faster than a large file with thousands of tons - oh, she's connected.]"

As soon as Kangna regained her sense of the outside world, she heard Gwen arguing with Locke. Of course, it was Gwen who was yelling unilaterally, while Locke's voice was a "voiceover" that could not be distinguished from the distance.

"I didn't know you cared about me so much." Kangna smiled at Gwen.

"You are a super luxury product worth 4 billion star dollars. If anything happens to you, the boss will eat me alive." Gwen looked a little relieved and turned around to respond.

"Hmm... So, this is the 'Matrix'?" Kangna didn't intend to go into depth on this topic, so she turned to look around and asked knowingly.

This virtual space looks like a huge basement. The floor and ceiling are completely made of unknown materials that are square and luminous. You are in the center of it, where there is a seating area with sofas and refreshments. , and the outer ring is followed by the monitoring equipment area, the weapons and equipment area where a large number of unknown weapons are stored, and the vehicle area where sports cars, small helicopters, and speedboats are parked. The overall look is well organized.

"Of course not." Kelly, or "Neo", walked out from behind a weapons rack: "This is the 'preparation area' before we enter the matrix. It is generally called the 'connection procedure'. It is mainly to avoid being Matrix backtracking.”

"...You look very handsome in this outfit." Kangna looked Neo up and down.

Wearing a black tactical vest, black trousers, a large black cape, and a pair of large sunglasses, he looks like a bat in reality or virtual reality.

"You can customize the image of your conscious body, but you have to get the functional props here. If they are not enough, ask Locke for them," Neo responded: "Choose some of your commonly used weapons and get familiar with them as soon as possible. We will set off soon. .”

Hmm...Kanna looked at him suspiciously. After changing his appearance, his attitude became more capable. If "Batman" gave people the impression of "The Dark Knight", then "Neo" now It clearly gives people a "savior" impression.

"We are familiar enough with weapons and other things. The key is the superpower..."

"Yeah - hoo -" midway through Kangna's words, she saw Gwen flying over her head with the spider silk: "Kanna, look~ real-life powers can also be used here~"

"I said, 'Believe it is true,'" Neo looked up and didn't care too much: "And in the application of this sentence, the most important one is, 'Believe that you will never die.' As long as you believe that you will never die," You firmly believe in this sentence, no matter how injured you are, I will have a way to save you."

“[Really, I’ve seen him operate on the wounded,]” Locke interjected: “[Literally ‘surgery’.]”

"Hmm..." Kangna tried to kick on the floor twice and successfully floated half a meter. However, when she tried to set up a "psionic shield" on her body or perform "psionic teleportation" nearby, she was completely blocked. Failed.

"This is normal." Although Neo didn't know what Kangna had tried, it was obvious from her expression: "If one of your 'powers' is not based on your heartfelt belief that it has been used by you, If you master it, no matter how skilled you are in reality, you won’t be able to use it.”

It seems... indeed, although these two abilities are very proficient, at the same time, he clearly knows that they are "skills" from the "Lich King", not "instincts" that he has mastered.

So, does "Spider Girl" sincerely believe that it is her own ability? That's really strong.

But now the question arises. This kind of behavior of floating around half a meter high is not something that normal humans can do, right? Unless, everything he experienced in the "Land of Shadows" filled with death was included in his "instinct" when he was "resurrected".

So……

Kangna looked around and quickly focused on... a large sword made of pure steel.
