The Death Knell

"Hiss... poof."

Neo's vocal device was overloaded due to excessive surprise, and it made a sound like an organic creature farting.

He first looked at the mantis man opposite him. He was extremely serious, while the people behind him also had expressionless faces.

"Can you elaborate?"

Seeing the opponent take the bait, Deathstroke, who turned into a mantis man, smiled coldly: "Of course, in today's matrix, everyone has been instilled with false memories. In the memory, the Iron God overthrew Brainiac and rescued Everyone, and replace them, right?”

"Yes, Cyborg is the omnipotent god. He rescued us from the slavery of Brainiac." Neo recalled it, and indeed, what the other party said was absolutely right.

"That's it. In fact, this is just Brainiac's trick. He built a false world so that everyone feels free and has no reason to resist anymore. In fact, he himself is still in the program. The lowest level, in real reality, absorbs everyone’s energy and computing power.”

Su Ming's crossed legs shook and he looked incomprehensible.

There was a mechanical sound on Neo's face, and he showed a surprised expression, but after a moment he shook his head: "No, what we are in is reality, because you can't prove the existence of the matrix."

"My name is Morpheus, in fact...I can do it." The mantis man opposite raised his fist, and a bunch of light instantly lit up in his hand. He controlled these lights and played with snakes: "Have you ever seen this reality?"

As expected, Neo had never seen it before.

In a world view dominated by technology, how could it be possible to see such magical things?

"How did you do it? This is unreasonable." Neo shook his head, looking in disbelief.

The other party put away the firelight, nodded to the man in red behind him, pointed at something, and then the furniture suddenly appeared in the other party's hands, and Neo couldn't even see clearly.

"This is the data, everything is false, and when you really wake up and see through the nature of the matrix, you can do everything I did."

There seemed to be no eyes at all behind the other person's sunglasses, at least Neo didn't feel any sight.

He swallowed a gulp of lube, his sensors telling him his throat was dry.

Not only that, but the other party also showed various methods that did not conform to the principles of physics, such as floating, changing shape, teleportation, changing material existence, etc.

Such a big table disappeared in the opponent's hand. The opponent said that it was because he 'deleted' the table's code, so it was erased from the matrix.

Neo finally believed it. It turned out that he had been living in Brainiac's scam. He had not left the online world, but had only entered the second layer from the first layer of the network.

In the real reality, his name may really be Neo, and the mantis man calling himself Morpheus came to save him with his resistance army, because in the prophecy of the universe, he, Neo, is this planet. The savior of the planet.

Neo no longer has any doubts about his name. People who are often exposed to the Internet quickly believe in the setting and existence of the Matrix.

At the same time, an unprecedented sense of responsibility and mission arose spontaneously. He wanted to save his compatriots. He was the savior.

Morpheus was still chattering. He took out a bottle of water and put it on the table like magic: "Enter the code of the water, and I will get the water. Isn't it very simple? Let's go on, the first layer of the network world, is Known as the Clearnet, everything that happens in it as we know it is not real and does not feed back into the Matrix. Because the Matrix serves as a foundation, Brainiac woven a layer of security locks to allow All of us are living in a dream, but everything that happens in the matrix, such as death, etc., will also be fed back to your body in reality. This is a safety mechanism..."

"I... can't understand. What do you mean to say that in reality, our situation is not as good as what we see now?" Neo pointed out the window. He originally lived in the Tower of Babel. At the bottom of the tall buildings, there are poor people.

The other party shook his head, and the tentacles on the mantis' head trembled: "It's not just you, we, our compatriots, all of us are living in pain and deception."

Neo took a deep breath: "But what can I do? I'm just an ordinary person..."

"No! You are not ordinary at all. In reality, your name is Neo, and you are the top network engineer on the planet. If you recall carefully, do you sometimes feel that you have encountered things before? But... I can’t remember where I met.”

Neo lowered his head and took the water on the table to observe. It was a simple plastic bottle with colorless liquid inside.

"Yes, that's true. I always feel like I've done something before, but I can't remember it."

"This is the reason, because Brainiac cannot completely block people's subconscious, and everything in this virtual matrix is ​​actually repeating the previous story, something that happened once, you will be cleared after the server is restarted Memory, I will arrange it for you again next time.”

Su Ming bowed forward with a serious face and put his face close to the mantis fool. As for the feeling of déjà vu, everyone has it.

Everyone in my group has X metal patches on their bodies to prevent them from being transformed into demons or new gods. They can neither access the alien network nor put mind control chips on their heads.

Then we can only rely on lucky ‘volunteers’ to help.

How to find a volunteer? It's simple, just randomly choose one of the otakus in the building and tell him that he is the savior.

One second you are squatting at home in a virtual world, and the next second a group of very strong and professional-looking people come to tell you that you are the savior, the world depends on you, and saving the world is just a piece of cake for you. .

For example, you can become a world hero by snapping your fingers, make a lot of money, become famous, marry Bai Fumei, open the Crystal Palace, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Is there anything more exciting than this?

YY novels don’t even dare to write like this, because if it’s too enjoyable, you won’t be able to continue editing it.

Fortunately, this mantis man's "terminal number" has not experienced the test of online novels, and he really believes it...

"What should I do?" Neo put down the water glass and rubbed his hands, looking excited and nervous: "I mean, how should I return to the real world? How can I save everyone?"

The opponent bent down, stretched out two fists in front of him, and then slowly opened them.

There was a white metal piece in one hand, and a black metal piece in the other hand. With the sound of thunder and rain outside the window, the other person said quietly:

"This is a choice, return to reality or be enslaved forever. Your choice affects everything, Neo... Come on! Post white films during the day and don't sleep; post black films at night, sleep soundly !”

Neo looked at the sky outside the window, and then at the watch on the dormant chamber. He reached out and picked up the black chip in the other person's hand, and at the other person's signal, he put it on his forehead... ...

"Boom." It was the sound of the chip and metal fitting together.

"Hey, it's done. Diana will tie him up, Bobo will check the equipment, and we have to connect him to the Internet. Barry will repair the door, and we need some cover." The man who called himself Morpheus stood up and showed Neo a Weird smile.

This sound and image were the last things Neo remembered. He wanted to reach out and grab the other person, but a massive amount of data poured into his mind, and Brainiac's program overturned his thinking. Writing and restarting his brain, everything in his sight was quickly moving away from him.

In the end, there was only darkness in front of him...
