The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

The cold rain is pattering, as if in early spring rather than the beginning of summer.

Xu Yang came to the forest of Mingge Mountain, the trees seemed to have their own heartbeats, he could vaguely hear the faint sound, because he was also part of the oath.

The new inhabitants of the forest are those who are willing to follow nature, who have abandoned the industrial city and modern environment, and are now hidden behind phantoms and barriers, wary of all visitors. Xu Yang was an exception among them, which made these new people in the forest feel respected, because there was always a white deer walking in front of him, leading Xu Yang forward. The white deer was the embodiment of the will of the forest, and they were already familiar with this rule.

It took Xu Yang to the most inaccessible place, where the forest almost blocked all sight, and all the secrets were hidden here, no one knew.

The white deer no longer walks, but sits in the glade, surrounded by a babbling stream.

"Before, I heard the news from you through the wind." Xu Yang looked at the white deer, "Do you want to see me?"

"Because of the cold wind, a chill is lingering over our heads." A deep voice sounded around, its voice was deep, like the ancient echoes before the human century.

"All weather forecasting agencies claim that the climate is entering the Little Ice Age." Xu Yang understands, in fact, he is also worried about this problem, "Some rivers that never freeze will freeze this winter, and food production will further decline. , drier and less rain ... not normal at all."

"This is because the **** of ice giants blows his north wind from the polar horn," said the voice in the forest, "My abilities are limited to the archipelago, and even the things I can do are gradually diminishing. You'll need to find your own fire to keep you warm through these cold years."

"Do we have a chance to reverse the process?" Xu Yang asked, "If we negotiate with the mysterious person who released the North Wind, or simply defeat him?"

"...This may be the only way." The voice in the forest said slowly, "But Sun Yanduo is its brother, even if you launch the most fearless expedition, Yan Duo will become your opponent, Yan Duo will not Sit back and watch its brothers get killed."

"So we can only find another way out." Xu Yang understood the situation, "Find new energy and heat sources."

"...This is the wisest choice," the voice in the forest stretched its tone, like an infinite echo from the bottom of the tree roots, "you must gather strength in the future frost and winter, so that you can be in the summer after the winter. Hold high the harvest."

"Then we have to plan ahead, expand the crop network woven by golden branches, and double the grain output." Xu Yang pondered, "At that time, it will not only be able to feed the local area, but also export overseas. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the construction of offshore oil and gas drilling platforms. , to provide people with fuel and heating supplies.”

"...a wise choice." The voice in the forest was tactful and changeable, sometimes it sounded like a male voice, and sometimes it sounded like an ethereal girl, "...Ellid's power is not endless, and the ice age will eventually end. This cold winter brings It is not only destruction and catastrophe, but also a test... When the frost and wind blow, trees are as susceptible to decay as humans, I hope we can advance and retreat together and survive the winter without any problems."

Immediately afterwards, the sound in the forest disappeared, and the white deer also wandered away.

Xu Yang returned from the forest and couldn't help but start analyzing.

It's already June, and today it's only 12c, and an unpredictable cold wave covers the northern and southern hemispheres like a whirlpool. Xu Yang silently clarified the situation. Nisto Company must manage the northern archipelago well, continue to build the economic system, integrate people's hearts, reorganize the army, develop technology, and lead everyone through this period of time smoothly, so that Farosa can continue to concentrate on cultivating strength.

The reduction of resources on a global scale will undoubtedly sharpen the contradiction.

Once the pressure builds, there are three strategies that can be adopted.

One is to develop virtual joy to reduce stress, fill life with entertainment, divert attention, and reduce the rate of stress accumulation.

The second is to drain the pressure layer by layer, deliberately making a large number of people a price, including enslaving and restricting the meaning of life for some people, manufacturing durable consumables, so as to make life easier for others, and declaring war on other external forces is also a form , taking other forces as the target of plunder and robbing their resources.

The third is to divide the interests among the public, so that people can share the benefits brought by development, so as to be satisfied and worry-free. People have consumption vitality, the economy can function normally, and a prosperous market will in turn promote scientific and technological progress.

Model 3 is the most ideal, as has been the model adopted by Nisto from its inception.

share weal and woe.

Nisto has always stood with most people, its business is not for personal service, all efforts are to improve the living conditions of its members.

Everyone in the company prospers and loses. No one takes ill-gotten gains, and no one gets it for nothing. Respect reason and abide by the rules. Even if the times are difficult, everyone will help each other and tide over the difficulties together.

At the same time, Nisto has always refused external financial capital injection and holding, and sent one invitation letter after another and subscription agreements from outside. As long as they sign the contract, they can get nearly 3 trillion of huge funds, which is equivalent to taking Nisto Company. The scale has been expanded by 2-3 times.

Even so, they have clearly maintained their established position, prohibiting banks and financial institutions from getting involved in corporate operations.

Intercontinental banking system and investment companies are proficient in manipulating the market. If Nisto Co. foolishly comes to the table and accepts this so-called gift, it will only be trapped by the following traps and tactics.

If you join forces with it, the best outcome is just to become another giant enterprise, one of the despicable beetles.

Not only would that be heart-wrenching, but even more terrifying, it would lose the legitimacy of calling for global progress.

Every moment, from all walks of life, there are progressive forces, either overt or covert, waiting to break out and burn down the rotten chains in one fell swoop. It is precisely with the northern islands as the source of Nisto's intention to support progressive causes around the world until they are answered.

When a real world war breaks out, Nisto will find allies around the world!

When the crisis of survival comes, the company has no way to reconcile the problem, the anger of the ownerless will burn endlessly, and it will be directed at the monopoly itself. Only then will the real **** battle begin, and the fate of the entire civilization is likely to be determined in the next two or three generations. The dust settled.

Nisto Corporation, Seven Seals and other giant corporations, ancient mysteries, interstellar giants... The cold wind is like an early warning, prompting them to fight fiercely.

When Xu Yang turned back from the forest to the city, his heart was full of thoughts, he wanted to accomplish the most earth-shattering career in the most calm and prudent way.

It was also at this moment that he heard that something had happened to Rinyin.

Xu Yang hurriedly returned to the medical center at Nisto headquarters, Lin Yin was lying on the medical bed, her eyes were closed, and a health detector was connected to her brain.

He glanced at it and found that the health readings were stable, which meant that Lin Yin was in good condition. It was just for safety reasons that the medical staff injected her with a dose of Pale Treatment to make her continue to sleep.

"I brought her here." Pan Ruiyin was standing by the door, wearing a helmet. He couldn't see his expression, but his voice could be heard nervous. "We had a good time yesterday, but something is wrong today."

"Cyber ​​psychosis." Xu Yang checked the medical team's consultation log. They used sedatives and immunosuppressants for Lin Yin successively to suppress the growing tendency of mental separation in her brain. The current situation has improved. Identified as a sporadic cyberpsychotic outbreak, it hit a small probability event.

"We did it?" Pan Ruiyin was taken aback and felt guilty when he thought of the little fruit he fed to Lin Yin yesterday, "Then we... can't do that again."

"Her last record was in the virtual reality cabin, and the doctor determined that she could not accept any consciousness data conversion program." Xu Yang observed the medical report and mentioned that virtual reality technology affected Lin Yin's cognition of reality and induced cyber psychosis. , "I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with us, mainly her... She shouldn't be loaded with any augmented virtual reality technology. Is she training in virtual combat here?"

"She is often in the battle simulation cabin at the headquarters." Pan Ruiyin's tone became more urgent, "Is that so? I told her to use it for a maximum of 2 hours at a time, so she shouldn't use it indiscriminately."

Xu Yang checked carefully.

"She spends more than 4 hours each time, and the longest one stayed for 8 hours." Xu Yang whispered, "She also used hacking technology to tamper with the alarm mechanism of the technology cabin, so as not to be forcibly kicked off the line."

"...No wonder her skills are progressing so fast." Pan Ruiyin despaired of her carelessness, "I thought she was talented! It turns out that she has been torturing herself! No wonder she has been in that crazy fighting situation for so long. ...no wonder it's become like this."

"She does have talent, it's just..." Xu Yang said slowly, "still inexperienced, all kinds."

"I'm not optimistic about her!" Pan Ruiyin shouted, anxious, "She...she wants to become stronger as soon as possible, but how can I deal with it so well? I should give it to her, even if I lose to her once, she will not It's going to be so hard!"

People who have been injected with pale treatment needles will only wake up under extreme external conditions. At this time, Lin Yin was indeed awakened by Pan Ruiyin.

She opened her eyes, looking weak.

"...I remember that I hurt a synth." Rinyin lowered her voice, "How is it?"

"I have someone sent for repairs." Pan Ruiyin came over and explained quickly, "Don't worry."

Lin Yin adjusted her breathing and turned to look at Xu Yang.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Net Supervisor..." Rinyin apologized wearily.

"Your mental difference has risen to 6% now." Xu Yang held Lin Yin's hand to reassure her, "...You can no longer participate in any activities related to virtual reality, you must face the world with all your heart, we The real world to live in."

"But I have to..." Rin raised her voice.

"Nothing is necessary... no more virtual combat simulations," Xu Yang warned, "no more virtual games, no courses in the Sea of ​​Sealis, and the use of subjective time-lapse implants is prohibited. The starting point of mental difference. Until you finish the course of treatment, the mental difference will slowly drop back to the original 2%."

"...I'm like a cripple." Rinyin laughed at herself, "I can't stand even a little class. Any 14-year-old kid can play virtual games, but I'll be induced by this kind of thing. Cyber ​​psychosis."

"It's not your fault, it was done by other people. The company has left a psychological shadow on everyone, including me!" Pan Ruiyin almost jumped onto the bed, she hugged Linyin and almost crushed her. Fortunately, Pan Ruiyin Release your hands in time.

Rinne remained silent, burying her face in her hands.

"I'm still..." She looked up, "...I still want to help, to do something useful. But I can't do anything right now?"

"There must be, there are still many things that can be solved without intubation." Xu Yang adjusted the thermostat and raised the temperature in the room, "You rest here for a while, others will come soon."

Lin Yin looked out the window, only to feel that there was no hope.

She knew the way to overcome her ultimate grief was to defeat the Enomoto Bank herself, yet she was banned from training because of the early signs of cyberpsychosis.

Not long after, Miying and the others came, with Yoshiyuki Hosoda, who had been suffering from cyber psychosis for 10 years.

He frowned as he looked at Rin Yin, who had lost his soul.

"You must have a lot of experience in resisting cyber psychosis." Miying said to Hosoda Yoshiyuki, "...you can help Lin Yin."

Rinne looked up at Hosoda Yoshiyuki.

"The best way? That is to pretend that you are not sick." Yoshiyuki Hosoda sneered, "You will become a madman in the eyes of others, but you will also embrace your true self. Cyber ​​psychosis cannot be eradicated. When empty flesh fills metal, the root of cyberpsychosis is planted. It's a long process, and you end up throwing 'Temperance' away and becoming a 'devil'."

"I can reverse this," Rin said in a low voice.

"You can't." Hosoda Yoshiyuki said contemptuously, "How can you?"

Rinne didn't speak.

Later in the day, the people who came to visit left one after another.

At midnight, Rinyin quietly left the ward, and she came to the core floor of Nisto headquarters and passed through the checkpoint.

She pushed the door open, and the images of the stars shook before her.

The golden thread stretched under Rinyin's feet, twisting and twisting to the various roads between the stars.

It is enough to embrace the power that restores everything, and it is enough to offer loyalty to "Lord Faroza".

Lin Yin looked at the recovering star floating in a corner, and the drifting power slowly rotated in it, almost forming a vortex.

Lord Faroza, Lord Faroza. Rinne walked forward along the golden thread while chanting the sacred name silently, she needed to keep her balance so as not to fall to either side.

She went to the holy path of witches.

Standing a few feet away from the recovery star, Lin Yin still clearly remembered how far away she would be captured by the law of recovery.

She squatted down, almost half-kneeling on the ground, only a millimeter away from her being covered by the light of recovery.

Lord Faroza!

Rinne almost jumped, using the law of recovery to heal her physical and mental scars.

Her body leaned forward, but immediately stiffened, her expression excruciatingly painful.

think carefully…

What is the difference between surrendering to the company or surrendering to Lord Farosa?

Rinyin gave up the thoughts that came out of her despair, looked around the sea of ​​stars around her, and quickly returned along the path she came from.

And this starry sky is obviously sullen at Lin Yin's uncooperative! More stars exploded in the distance, and even doors began to close on their own.

Farosa will never tolerate refusal to obey.

Rinne drove the subjective slow implant and jumped over in an instant.

boom!

Escaped. Rinyin looked back at the closed door, from which bursts of red light burst forth.

The door closed behind her, as if Rinne would never be welcome to join.

Rinne wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the things in front of her began to split and overlap.

Another time-lapse implant, dammit!

She knew that she really should listen to the words of Mr. Internet Monitor, and her fragile nerve cells are probably destroyed by a small piece now.

Rinyin struggled to maintain her balance and staggered down the corridor, taking every step with great difficulty.

so hard...

If this continues, she will not be able to return to the ward normally. She will fall to the ground in shame and be discovered by other employees, and then everyone will know where Rinyin went privately.

She was clinging to one side of the wall, unable to see anything at all, and her brain was buzzing. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps.

A small hand held Rinyin and shook it gently, so that she could distinguish the road even when her vision was separated.

Rin was relieved.

She closed her eyes and let the little hand lead her back to the elevator. In the elevator, the young witch grabbed Rinyin's hospital gown and climbed onto her shoulders, so that she could press the floor number and bring Rinyin back to the medical treatment. in the ward of the center.

safe...

Lin Yin was exhausted and fell headfirst on the sickbed, ready to fall asleep.

"Thank you, Xu Cheng..." Lin Yin closed her eyes and waited for sleep to come.

"Meow." Little Farosa heard the words, just meowed, then left, closing the door of the ward.
