Chapter 448 63. In the dialect of Night City, it’s awesome, brother
Bartmos is the god of data and the god of hackers. He has completely inherited the characteristics of programmers with low emotional intelligence. He is very direct when talking about things. After the talk, he doesn't know how to say hello or treat the guests to a meal or something.
He had just reached a cooperation agreement, and he said that he still had a few "world upgrade patches" that he was busy writing, so he slipped away and left a group of invited distinguished guests here.
He really doesn't know how to behave.
But fortunately, the people who were invited here were all extraordinary people, and no one had time to dwell on such trivial matters. After Buttermos left, everyone also left the table.
"Too risky, Bruce!"
Wonder Woman complained to the silent master:
"In our world, setting up a host server or something that sounds very dangerous is something you can't decide on your own. You should at least go back and discuss it with everyone."
"Ms. Diana, you actually didn't understand what Bartmos said about the 'Mikoshi Project' from beginning to end, right?"
Barbara asked quietly from the side, making the heroine's cheeks turn slightly red.
There's nothing we can do about it.
High technology is really not the field she is good at as a demigod with the God of War priesthood. Letting her go to the cyber arena to fight a hundred cyber psychopaths alone will definitely suit her taste, but this kind of thing is about the retreat of the world. It's really not easy to figure it out in a short time.
But Wonder Woman is a very proud hero.
She inherited the fine traditions of the Greek gods, and she pointed at the entire night city below the tower and said to the bat girl who was trying to explain the shrine plan to her:
"No matter what, I will not allow my world to fall into this state! If Bartmos's plan is to trap our consciousness and our people in such a virtual cage after our failure, then I will never agree.”
"The reason why the City of Night is so bad in your eyes is that it was already decayed before it was destroyed."
Mason next to him couldn't help but remind him:
"The overall development of the world in 2077 is a 'crooked' civilization. Diana, the stagnant and lifeless world in front of you is not caused by the Mikoshi plan. Their civilization has reached a dead end before the end.
But ours doesn't.
You should have some confidence in your world.
Even if the Mikoshi plan as the last resort is really implemented, and our world has completed the 'data upgrade' before the end, their performance in cyberspace will definitely be a hundred times better than the city in front of you.
Taking a step back, even if you don't believe Barbara and I, you should still have some confidence in Bruce's integrity in this regard. His ability to agree to this plan means that he must have thought about the causes and consequences. ”
"That's true"
Wonder Woman pouted.
She glanced at the master, who gave her a look that said, "If you have anything to do, go back to the watchtower to discuss it in detail. It's not safe here." This was the only way to stabilize Diana's particularly stubborn mind at certain times.
"How about you go back first? I have some 'private matters' to deal with here."
Mason stood at the highest point of the Night City and lit a cigarette for himself.
Although he entered this data world consciously, Miss Hanako said that the degree of simulation here has been achieved by Buttermos to 100%, so Mason can still enjoy tobacco.
Surrounded by Harley and Quinn, he said to everyone in front of him:
"It won't take too long, and there's no need to worry about my safety. I have the most powerful mercenaries in the world protecting me."
"Yeah."
The master did not hesitate, and took Diana on the floating car in front of him and returned to the hall of the data interaction point, where he exited the cyberspace.
The Green Goblin and John Wick were in no hurry to leave. They both had their own goals and didn't mind taking a walk around Night City to examine the local customs.
Barbara returned to the data tower behind her. She really planned to learn some real skills from the "Hacker God" before the war with the Star Society began.
When a hacker encounters the "grandmaster" once in a while, the Bartmos in front of him is a real boss who can rely on a homemade virus to tear apart the old network in the era of keyboard and mouse. If you miss this village, you will not have this store.
The group of people just turned around and only Mason and his two cuties were left. But he chose to stay here because he definitely did not want to play some "little games" with the two cuties that could not be played in the material world. Although Harley and Quinn were looking forward to it, but Mason had to finish his business first.
He winked at the little cuties, and the two girls, who were exactly the same but had different personalities, entered the floating car hand in hand and waited.
Mason waved to V, who was sitting in a daze on the edge of the data tower not far away, and then blew out smoke rings and stood at the highest point of the Night City. Amidst the blue sky and white clouds, he closed his eyes and blew the immersive music. The wind of data says to those around you:
"Come out, you should be able to appear physically in this place, right?"
"唰"
A piece of data generated garbled code out of thin air, and then formed the figure of Consus during self-adjustment.
This time, the Isu ghost no longer appears in the form of a projection. Relying on the "magical reaction" produced by the interaction between the Isu Shroud and cyberspace, he, an Isu man with only biological consciousness left, can also be reorganized through data. way to generate entities in the virtual world.
But this is very dangerous behavior!
The "illusion" of cyberspace is equivalent to the material world. For Isu people like Consus who have completed soul encoding, the data world is the "real world" to them.
Because their current form of existence can also be understood as a specially encoded data character, if he is stabbed to death by Mason here, it means that the biological consciousness of Consus stored in the Isu Shroud will also Suffered heavy losses.
"Ah, this wind."
Consus, who was wearing a white Isu robe and dressed very religiously, stood next to Mason. He also closed his eyes and opened his arms to feel the oncoming wind.
Wearing an Isu drag boy, he let his robes flutter in the wind, and his long black hair was also blown up. His gentle and majestic face showed a rare trace of relaxation.
Consus looked down at his left hand and the fingers that were paler and slender than ordinary humans, and he said softly:
"Bartmos created a miraculous world. Even 70,000 years ago, our photon computers could not compile such a realistic, complete and huge data world.
We can only concretize memories and scenes, but we cannot maintain them for a long time.
But it's alive before you, Mason.
It is evolving on its own, and if you give it enough time, it will eventually grow into a special plane that is no different from the material world.
Perhaps we were on the wrong track in our original struggle to survive.
If we could have thought of this way to continue our existence at that time, maybe we wouldn't have to have this awkward conversation today. ”
"Why should you feel embarrassed?"
Mason blew out a cigarette ring, then flipped the cigarette butt out of his hand very unethically, watching it fly away in the wind. He glanced at Consus and said:
"If you didn't ask me to do something for you that would make me feel bad, then our relationship wouldn't be awkward. You know, I already regard you as a trustworthy friend, just like you have always been. Call me 'brother'.
Even though you knew very well from the beginning that I am not the Hephaestus you remember.
I will never be Hephaestus. ”
“It just feels hard to talk about.”
Consus smiled.
He adjusted the robe and ribbon on his shoulders, remained silent for a moment, and said to Mason:
"Mr. Hat's warning to you is correct. I have been trying my best to help you for no other reason. My starting point is not pure. Compared with the righteous deeds you have done for many worlds, I am a quite selfish Isu." .
I know, Mason, that even though you are half-Isu, you actually look down on us.
In your heart, you feel that the Isu people who hide their bloodline in human history to avoid disaster and try to seek rebirth in the future peaceful era are a group of 'vampires' and 'parasites'.
Although you and Cassandra have not had much communication, I believe that the two of you have the same ideas and concepts. If given the opportunity, you will definitely choose to permanently remove the influence of the Isu from the human blood of that world. Strip.
And that's what I'm worried about. ”
He looked at Mason and said with a hint of pleading:
"You already have this ability. With your astonishing alchemy skills and in-depth understanding of artistic biotechnology, given enough time, you can make tools that can completely wipe out the last vestiges of the Isu civilization.
I know this is too much to ask for.
But Mason, I beg you
I pray that you will show mercy to my people when you return to the Isu world. ”
Consus' words made Mason silent for a moment. He shook his head and said:
"You think very badly of me, Consus.
Although you chose to strengthen humans 70,000 years ago for the survival of your own civilization, you only regard humans as "mission props" to survive disasters. This starting point cannot be said to be noble.
But the fact is that without the knowledge, power and ancient artifacts you left behind, with the power system of the Isu world, they would not be able to escape the poison of the Star Society.
The aurora system left by Athena and Hephaestus still protects that world today.
It is not that you have not participated in this confrontation. Although this is not of your own free will, we are all adults and must learn to look at the problem regardless of the cause and the heart.
Don't worry.
I have no intention of interfering with the entanglement and future outcome of the Isu civilization in that world and human civilization. I also believe that Wick and the others can find a way to coexist with you at some point in the future without my help.
Perhaps the Isu civilization can regain its glory in the next era after more than 70,000 years of silence. To be honest, I am looking forward to that scene.
The coexistence of two civilizations is the most significant feature of civilization in that world. Without the splendor of legendary people like you, the Isu world would be just an ordinary C-level world. ”
At this point, Mason winked.
He turned back and patted Consus on the shoulder and whispered:
"Looking at your serious look just now, I thought you were going to say something important to me, but this is what happened? You and I have faced powerful enemies together not once or twice. Consus, do you think I am really that kind of person?" Is this the type of person who will cause trouble for himself? ”
"You think you are not, but in fact everyone knows whether you are."
Consus finally relaxed. The Isu teased and laughed heartily in the wind. But after he finished laughing, he put his hand on Mason's shoulder with a serious expression and whispered to him:
"I did hide some very important information, my brother, about the access code of the Aurora system. With that thing, Xiao Shen's cosmic treadmill can bypass the blockade of the Aurora system and accurately lock the coordinates of the Isu world. < br>
I didn't tell you this before because I was concerned about your identity as a member of the Society of Stars, and because you lacked the tools to establish a long-term connection, but now that you have Brainiac's plane beacon, all the conditions are ripe!
After we go back to the physical world, I promise!
In up to 24 hours, you can set foot on your other hometown again. ”
"Well, that's the really good news!"
Mason's eyes lit up, and when he thought of the fierce fighting power of Sister Ka's two great mentors who could beat one on two, the pressure in his heart became less.
"Then let us finish the last thing quickly and rush back."
He took a deep breath and shouted to V who was not far away.
The latter's movements were flexible and like parkour, and he jumped up from the edge of the hundreds of meters in the sky. After two jumps, he landed next to Mason. At this time, Consus also dissipated with a smile, leaving room for conversation. Mason and his mercenary friends.
"Take me to a cyberpsychological asylum. I'm very interested in the unique phenomena of your world."
Mason gave a cigarette to V, lit it for him personally, and said with suspicion:
"Also, where did you transfer the main server of Kamikyo to? But Moss had to get Brainiac's Exile spaceship before he killed him. I didn't think much about it at that time, but now that I think about it, is it possible?"
"That's right!"
V, who was full of energy, snapped his fingers, blew out smoke rings and pointed at the sky and said:
"We are traveling between different planes now. Brainiac's spaceship is really great as a database host. Buttermos has enough redundancy to mobilize.
He is planning to add a few more weather and terrain mods to cyberspace, and is also considering introducing more diverse racial and appearance options, which can add a little more color to this lifeless world.
This is all thanks to you, otherwise it would be difficult for the Afterlife team to find a similar perfect data carrier no matter how hard they try. ”
"I worked so hard to kill a Hope Director, but in the end, all the benefits were taken by you."
Mason pouted and said:
"I don't care, you have to make some compensation for this! I don't want much else. You see, brothers, there's going to be a war soon. I've heard that your team in the next life is very powerful. Don't worry if I need you to go into battle. Lost people.”
"Hey, just tell me who you want to kill, right?"
V waved his hand disdainfully, patted his chest proudly like a master and said:
"Do you understand the value of the legendary mercenaries in Night City? Let me tell you this, I am invincible below A level, and I am invincible for those above A level!"
"Awesome, brother!"
Mason gave a thumbs up and waved, and then he and V walked towards the float car while chatting and laughing.
As a result, as soon as the scissor-shaped car door opened, four snow-white arms stretched out to grab Mason's collar, and pulled him into the cabin amid the captain's screams.
This scene is very similar to the brutal scene of a poor ordinary man being captured by two female goblins and taken into a cave to serve as a village husband.
The legendary mercenary of Night City, the famous cyberpsychopath, the powerful person in the A-level team, and the Tokisui Oi-ryu Mechanical Sword Master V were all startled. He took a cautious step back with a cigarette in his mouth, only to see that he was wearing very "cool" clothes. "The clothes Harley and Quinn glared at him at the same time.
Harry pretended to let the dogs bite people, but it was a pity that the two dogs were not brought over.
"It's none of your business, just go away! Come back in thirty minutes! If you dare to eavesdrop, I'll break your legs!"
Quinn, who had already spent "cyber make-up" to look like a surreal sex doll, roared angrily.
Then the car door slammed shut, and Mason's panicked screams rang out, revealing the desolation of being unable to resist and being ravaged by two female monsters.
"Mason found himself a pair of twins?"
V pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking of, but then a mean smile appeared on the bionic face.
He happily took a few steps back and took a deep breath of smoke. He gestured with his thumb towards the luxury floating car suspended several hundred meters in the air and praised:
"Tsk, tsk, you really know how to play. You're awesome, brother!" (End of this chapter)
