Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

The team members in the rear followed one by one, and the group quickly disappeared into the darkness without a single sound being heard.

At the various entrances of this huge and dark city, such scenes are constantly being staged. Teams of intruders step into the city, and then lose their voices and whereabouts.Only the city is still standing, waiting quietly like a silent and wordless beast that devours people.

"It is completely impossible to get in touch with the people who enter it, and all means of communication will be intercepted."

Trinity, who was standing on a billboard not far from the toll booth, spoke at this moment.

"Maybe it's not just a normal entry, this world is different from [Matrix], I can feel it."

Neo spoke in a calm voice, his gaze under the sunglasses kept looking at the city ahead.

"Can't you gain power here?"

Trinity asked worriedly.

"No, I still have power. The data mind space established by STEM allows me to have the authority to change as much as in [Matrix], but here, here is [Black Hole], an abyss of information. Trinity, I It's hard to describe this feeling, but in my line of sight, all the data flowing to the city in front of me, there is no return. It swallows everything like a black hole, and nothing will be spit out. I'm afraid outside we are Can't see anything."

Neo frowned, his tone full of deep worry.

Neo and Trinity, these two people come from a very special world.

They live in a world where artificial intelligence is at war with humans, who have destroyed almost all energy sources and created thick clouds that isolate the planet.In the end, artificial intelligence almost destroyed human civilization, and then used the remaining human beings as batteries to create a huge power generation system, while human consciousness was locked in a virtual world called [Matrix], repeating what was programmed forever. Set a good life.

However, the resistance of human beings has not stopped, and the loopholes in the [Matrix] also allow the human existence in it to obtain extremely high authority, that is, the existence named [Savior].Neo himself is the "savior" of this generation. In the electronic world, Neo can be said to have superhuman power. He can fly into the sky and escape with every gesture, and can easily rewrite various programs and data to make himself stronger.In the original world, Neo fought with humans and met his lover Trinity.

Neither Neo nor Trinity knew what would happen if things continued to develop.However, they don't need to think about this problem anymore, because of the fusion of the universe, the Star Alliance came into contact with the planet they are on, and after some "friendly exchanges", the mechanical civilization that has essentially replaced human beings ruling the planet was completely disintegrated. A very small number of artificial intelligences were allowed to continue to exist, while all the remaining humans were rescued, and Neo and Trinity also lived a normal life.

It's just that although life is no different from normal people, the mission they once shouldered and the sense of justice in their nature make them continue to choose to use their strengths to help others.This time, the two also actively joined the mission through an intermediary after learning about the danger of meme contamination.

"We have to go in to find out what's going on inside."

Neo made up his mind after a little thought.

"let's go together."

Trinity nodded, and the two jumped off the billboard and landed firmly on the ground.

It was also at this time that Jiang Ming and his party arrived at the entrance of the city on the road full of cracks.

"Yo, how are you two?"

He recognized Neo from a distance, and Jiang Ming, who almost yelled "Fucking pencil" because of the actor's vision, waved his hand in greeting.

"Hello."

Neo nodded slightly.

"Well, it seems that this time it is someone who can communicate rationally."

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour ago, they encountered another group of people, but that group of guys seemed to be the subordinates of a warlord in a chaotic area, and they came to this place because they received a bounty.Therefore, this group of guys acted in a very bad style. After seeing a few women in Jiang Ming's team, they tried to kill the men in the team.

As a reward for this unprecedented courage, half of these people were dissolved into mud, and the other half were finely chopped to make saozi.

"Not all the people who come here come because of a sense of justice. I have encountered similar situations before."

Neo, who understood what Jiang Ming was saying, replied calmly.

"Hey, he's Neo, right? Neo, right? Neo, the savior of the Matrix!"

Tachika Fujimaru, who clearly recognized Neo, poked Jiang Ming's waist and whispered, his voice sounded a little excited.

"Aren't you also a savior? Isn't the title of human savior even higher?"

Jiang Ming turned his head and gave Fujimaru Tachika a sideways glance, which made the girl stunned for a moment, but she finally started to think seriously.

Afterwards, the two sides communicated for a while, and they introduced themselves to each other. Neo didn't intend to hide anything, and soon he saw what happened when the mercenary team entered the city through the toll booth. told everyone.

"A data black hole? According to the pretentious man who controls the containment center, isn't this the nature of antimemes? In other words, the target we are looking for is indeed in this city, but we just don't know what to do next." There will be something unfolding."

Jiang Ming said very seriously.

"So, are you ready to go in now?"

Neo asked.

"Of course, we've come here, it's impossible to quit."

This time it was Kamijou Touma who spoke firmly.

"Then let's act together."

The previous observation is that this team is the strongest, and it seems that everyone is not bad. In line with the idea of ​​concentrating a strong force to defeat the enemy in one go, Neo and Trinity chose to join Jiang Ming without hesitation. side.

"Then let's go, there's no point in hesitating."

Jiang Ming who said so took the lead to step forward, and the group quickly stepped through the dilapidated toll booth.

The cold breeze was blowing in my ears, like someone whispering.

Jiang Ming took a step forward, and the quiet street was peaceful, and everything was still.

"Usually, at such times, the team should be dispersed suddenly."

Jiang Ming, who was talking like this, turned around and found that all the teammates beside him were gone.

Chapter 160 The Evil Within

On the quiet street, Jiang Ming was suddenly the only one left.

In the cold and humid air, it seemed that something was brewing.

He released his spiritual power to try to sense it, but he didn't catch the breath of his companion at all, and he became alone without any warning.If it is an ordinary person, most of them are scared to death by now, and they don't know what to do, right?

However, Jiang Ming is not such a character. After realizing that the situation was wrong, he kept his vigilance while thinking about the current situation.

It should be impossible to cover the senses, although it is not out of his own will, but Jiang Ming's spiritual world is mixed with two extraordinary foreign objects, and it is quite difficult to completely cover his sensing ability.Not even the time reversal of the High King can wipe out his consciousness, and a meme contamination is certainly impossible.

In other words, the space has shifted.

Although it is impossible to know how it was done, he and his companions were indeed transferred to different spaces.

"The spatial transfer of the spiritual world may be called spiritual transfer to be more accurate."

Jiang Ming, who said so, walked cautiously on the road in front of him.

At first, I tried to look back, but I didn’t see the toll booth after walking for 10 minutes, and the surrounding streets seemed to be repeating themselves.From this, Jiang Ming judged that this kind of space transfer is likely to be a one-time transfer, and will not leave an intercommunicating transfer channel in a certain area.

Then he tried to walk forward. After walking cautiously for a while, light suddenly emerged from the darkness.

It was a small convenience store that looked empty from the outside.

For such a place to appear in such an unreal and weird world, it almost writes "I'm suspicious" directly on the sign.Jiang Ming took a look at the convenience store from the outside, and planned to leave without looking carefully.

"Wow!"

A familiar girl's voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

Is it the inducement sound that draws me in, or is there really someone inside?

Turning around, Jiang Ming saw Fujimaru Tachika who was sitting on the ground covering his head, in the middle of the convenience store, leaning against a shelf.

"Hey, it's Mr. Jiang Ming."

When the girl saw Jiang Ming, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

This silly look seems to be me.

Jiang Ming opened the door of the convenience store, looked around for nothing unusual, then walked up to Fujimaru Tatsuka and pulled her up from the ground.During the process, he checked again to make sure that the girl in front of him was a serious human being, not something disguised.

"Why are you here?"

Under the white light, Jiang Ming looked at the girl in front of him and asked.

"Ahaha, I don't know either, suddenly the surroundings have changed a lot."

Fujimaru Tachika scratched her head in distress.

Apart from five or six shelves and a place to go in and out of the convenience store, there are no other structures in the small convenience store. It seems that this place is just a simple small shop.But Jiang Ming could feel that something was spying on him after entering here, but he couldn't find out where this feeling came from.

"Lilith and Medea don't know where they are, but they should still be able to be summoned by command spells, um, but if Mr. Jiang Ming is here now, don't worry, the command spells should be left at the critical moment Just do it."

Fujimaru Tachika next to him was thinking about it.

Tread-

The sound of footsteps came from the door of the convenience store.

Jiang Ming raised his head quickly, the spiritual power of his whole body was running at this moment, ready to strike at any time.

But soon, he let go of his vigilance, because the person who came in through the door was someone he had seen before.

"Officer Sebastian, did you still choose to come in?"

Jiang Ming looked at the old man who opened the door in front of him, and the old man with some blood on his body spoke calmly.

"I don't really want to come back to this ghost place, but if you want to know whether the truth is what you say, there is only one way."

Sebastian let out a long breath, and walked into the store holding a revolver.

At this time, Jiang Ming has already remembered which work this man came from, that is Shinji Mikami's horror game masterpiece "The Evil Within" series, which tells the story of a man fighting various horror monsters in a distorted nightmare world and trying to survive Go down the story.And the man in front of him, Sebastian, is the protagonist of this series of games, a decadent police officer who has lost his beloved daughter and his wife is missing.With his own strength, he broke through the siege of countless terrifying monsters, and successfully retrieved his daughter in the second part of the series. Because of his tenacious fighting power and mature and handsome appearance, he was called "Uncle Sai" by the players.

"So how about the result of the verification, is that the case?"

Jiang Ming was talking to Sebastian casually while paying attention to whether there was anything following him.

"Not sure yet, but this place is no different from the nightmares I've experienced before, twisted, crazy, and even more dangerous. Ha, I think I must be crazy to want to go back to this ghost place .”

Sebastian spoke with great emotion.

"People who would take the initiative to come to this kind of place can be said to be crazy. After all, this is something that might really kill them."

Jiang Ming who said so took a step forward, and then suddenly frowned.

The direction of flow has changed.

The abnormal aura I felt before seems to be becoming more staring and more dangerous at this moment.

zip - zip -

The lights in the convenience store suddenly flickered at this moment.

The street outside the window was shrouded in darkness at some point, as if the lights in the convenience store could no longer really shine through the windows to the outside world.Surrounded by shadows, something began to slowly approach from outside.

"careful!"
