Will Cyber ​​Omega fall in love with electronic pets?

Digital Invasion of Reality—

For the earth, it is not empty talk.

At first people thought it was a strange hacker collective crime. Many novel viruses that had never been seen in the past spread on the Internet, causing tens of billions of economic losses. The firewalls of secret departments in various countries were also breached, and the data was destroy.

The official network technology consultants who traced the intrusion traces investigated all the way, and found a strange new network world hidden under the global Internet.

They enter it, unable to discern the strange programming languages ​​used in the new online world.

At the same time, they didn't know that their behavior of entering this new online world triggered a hidden mechanism and opened the door to connect the two worlds.

Viruses and network infiltrations of the past were little more.

At this point, the real invasion began.

Unimaginable monsters descended from the data world into reality.

***

For the Earth in 2077, the above is the history of more than 50 years ago.

Today, a large area of ​​the earth has become an occupied area where the digital and the real overlap, and there are still obvious areas of human activities, leaving only the Americas, Africa north of the equator line, Oceania, and Antarctica.

A monster that descends from digital information into reality, and humans call it Cybermon.

45 years ago, they finally established a line of defense against electronic beasts, which is the electronic sea.

Minors, or people who have not received ABO prosthetic transformation except for the brain-computer interface, can access the network, which is the first layer of the electronic sea.

Some researchers of the electronic sea say that the first layer is not even a sea, but just a beach near the sea.

Going down, you must obtain different levels of electronic sea deep diving permits before you can enter.

Light layer, low light layer, deep sea layer.Abyss layer, super abyss layer——

Between each layer, there is a powerful firewall.

Except for the abyss layer and the super abyss layer, those are the depths that no human has ever explored.

After building the firewall, human beings used the Alpha prosthetic reformer who can enter the electronic sea as a pioneer, completely occupied the light layer, and established a fortress in the low light layer.

Finally, researchers of electronic beasts don't need to observe the ecology of the enemy through the screen. Only then do they discover that a large group of electronic beasts can be copied with only ctrl+C and ctrl+V. The deep electronic sea they live in can be like a child It’s like picking up rocks on an outing in the countryside, picking up a lot of digital eggs casually.

The captured electronic beasts will not reproduce, and their positions are monitored, and no electronic beasts can be seen to produce.The researchers brought the eggs back to the light layer for research, and found that these eggs could not be hatched by any means, and they forcibly broke the eggs, only to find the wreckage of the data.

In the end, through the attitude of the electronic beasts not caring about the eggs, the researchers tentatively concluded that these eggs that can be picked up casually are all dead eggs.

Dead eggs are also useful.

Scientists conducted many experiments, and the other results are unknown for now, but the electronic sea pets appeared soon.

Only Omega prosthesis reformers can tame electronic sea pets. Studies have shown that the extremely high degree of fusion of Omega crystal cores will make broken-shell electronic animal pets have the illusion that Omega is their mother.

How stupid.

In human terms, it's like admitting a thief as your father.

This is what KM-023 thought when he first came to the pet egg management warehouse.

It seems to be different from other pet eggs. It has a distant memory and remembers that when the egg was just born, it didn't actually die.But as time went by and the incubation continued, its inherently insufficient data could not form the necessary nodes, and it finally solidified helplessly.

Human beings open the egg, extract the data in it, and create a new egg in a way that it does not yet understand.

The data solidified by death woke up, but could not break the shell.

All electronic pets will only break their shells after binding Omega and receiving Omega data.

Back from the dead, surprise?

KM-023's thinking was not as sound as it is now, and it only had one thought.

—I want to be born.

—I am going to be born.

As long as it is in the pet egg warehouse, it will wait for an Omega to be drawn to it.KM-023, who was gradually able to understand human language, realized it, so he waited quietly.

One year has passed, two years have passed, three years have passed...

Ten years have passed.

KM-023 noticed that something was wrong. Pet eggs were not randomly assigned to every Omega that came to collect them. Humans seemed to use a certain method to judge the growth limit and strength of electronic pets after they broke their shells.

They assign powerful electronic pets with high growth limits to Omega with good aptitude, and Omega with poor aptitude also has a large number of ordinary electronic pets to choose from.Such as KM-023, which is determined to be a mutant species before its shell is broken, will never be delivered to Omega.

In fact, as soon as it discovers this, it will be sent to the recycle bin as garbage data, waiting to be destroyed.

The pet egg management warehouse is under the jurisdiction of the Discovery Technology Company on the back of the moon, and it is built on the low-light layer of the electronic sea.

The low-light layer is not a place where human researchers can survive for a long time. More often, they are in reality, conducting experiments and management through computers.

To delete a batch of junk eggs, for researchers, just check and drag.

In the corresponding pet egg management warehouse, a black light band falls from the dome of the labyrinth-like building. Grab the selected garbage eggs and change their positions.

On the computer screen, the green progress bar symbolizing data movement is climbing.

In the pet egg management warehouse, KM-023 shook and rolled off the shelf.

It tried to move for the first time before it hatched, avoiding the black belt that came to grab it.

It didn't stop and continued to scroll, knowing that there was an empty space on the bottom shelf.

It rolls in.

The location of the file changes, and the error causes a BUG.

It was a BUG that could be found during the system self-check tonight, but the black belt extending to KM-023 disappeared, and it was temporarily safe.

After this night, KM-023 chose to be the ghost in the pet egg management warehouse.

It wandered on one shelf after another, replacing one number after another, looking for a way to leave the warehouse.

If it went outside, it might be able to find an Omega for itself and an incubator.

KM-023 thinks this way. What it doesn't consider is that it's just a pet egg that hasn't hatched.

Avoiding the black belt every time it is cleaned is already beyond its ability, except for it, no other pet egg can do this.

Speaking of which, is it the only pet egg that inherits the memory of the dead electronic beast egg?

KM-023, who tried to leave in every possible way in the next ten years, but failed to leave in the end, was crazy.

The same kind are all unconscious eggs, no intelligent species can communicate with it, there is no hope of achieving the desired goal, the path suitable for it, is it obedient to the recycling bin?

...then go to the recycle bin.

KM-023 no longer avoids black belts, and is being cleaned again, and entered the recycle bin, waiting to be deleted.

With only a little time left until another death, is there any unfulfilled wish?

it asks itself

——ah, ah.

- I just want to be born...

The thought was like a heavy hammer, making its whole egg hum.

KM-023, who woke up from madness, repented.

The most chaotic day since the establishment of the pet egg management warehouse began to brew in its heart.Researchers across the screen may not know until a long time later that a certain crash of the warehouse management system is only because a certain piece of data is leaving the recycle bin and returning to the normal warehouse area.

Today, KM-023 is in the warehouse area.

It has a new plan, that is, when other pet eggs are extracted, it replaces other pet eggs.

Amoral, selfish and self-interested, of course.

It always looks forward to that scene - the snow-white beam of light falls, and the egg in the center of the beam of light slowly lifts into the sky, ascends into the dome of the maze, and heads to another world.

Before the extracted egg rises into the sky, knock it away and replace it standing in the center of the light beam... It seems feasible, if it can predict which pet egg will be extracted next and where it is located in the warehouse, then What time is it to leave.

But don't worry, you can wait slowly.

As a piece of data, unless it is destroyed or damaged, KM-023 can still exist for a long time.

So, how long does it take after leaving the recycle bin?

KM-023 no longer cares about time, it is on the way to the beam of light every minute and every second.

In this long gamble, it almost succeeded twice, the beam of light brushed the shelf next to it, and it even knocked open the pet egg that was extracted by the beam of light.Unfortunately, both times, the extracted egg had already started to lift off before it hit the ground.

Pity.

next time must...

Without remorse or discouragement, the idea of ​​wanting to be born has completely turned into paranoia, and KM-023 is still working hard.

***

2077 AD, October 09th, West Eighth District Time, 01:11:[-]AM

A beam of pure white light fell and landed in an area only one position away from KM-023.

The entire warehouse area was shaken by this beam of light, and every pet egg shimmered on their shelves. KM-023 once thought that all of its kind were unconscious, but at this moment, it felt their silent calls.

——Choose me, choose me!

Each pet egg seems to be shouting loudly.

Where is the Omega this time? KM-023 has no time to think.What shocked it was that the place where the beam of light fell, the place just one space away from it, was actually empty.

What a golden opportunity, it rolled over almost without thinking.

【Connection establishment】

An invisible connection, pointing to another world.

[Number: *&￥#￥! 543&)****#]

【Name: Waiting】

[Race: Dragon Aberration]

[Level: Garbage]

In the beam of light, it is slowly rising into the sky, and a strange interface unfolds in its perception.

[Is it hatching?whether】

KM-023 immediately wanted to select Yes, but it found that it couldn't press it.

This interface will appear in front of it, but it is not an option that Pet Egg is qualified to do.

Always, always, the choice is only on the other side.

If KM-023 has already been born, it may understand what it means to grit its teeth and hold a grudge at this moment.

[Yes] lights up, and the human beings who have the right to choose on the other side have no hesitation.

KM-023 heard the wonderful, heavenly sound of cracking eggshells.

At the same time, there are also unfamiliar human voices coming in through the cracks in the eggshell.

"Mr. King! My mother, she should be off work, but she hasn't responded to messages or voice calls!"

"Mr. King, a doll in the favorite nightclub sent me a message that the Skull Gang took Little Jack's mother...they took Fanny away! Mr. King, your freezer was obtained by Fanny from her guests Yes, if you're going to track down the freezer..."

"...Wait a minute, let me take a look."

The head of KM-023 drilled out of the eggshell, suspended on the interface in front of it, and half of its face reflected on the pitch-black monitor appeared.

The snow-white bangs almost concealed the face, and only a pair of eyes glowing with a faint blue light could be vaguely seen under the white hair.

The other party, its incubator, also saw it on the interface only displayed in the electronic prosthetic eye.

"So ugly."

Incubator gives the first description.

Said it was a dragon, but it looked more like a deformed snake.

What is the gray color, it's like a broken rag.

"Need to name it? Am I playing some nurturing game?" The white-haired young man muttered, his attention was not on his raised head, and his eyes were fixed on his young electronic sea pet.

He was preparing to set off to rescue people, and he read out related words that randomly appeared in his mind, and said in a raving voice: "Dragon, snake, um... distortion, deformity, malformation... cat Vermesin, that's what it's called."

The author has something to say:

It's Totoro Vermesing, not My Neighbor Totoro.

Ju Qing: If you are ugly, don't touch Ci's cute chinchilla...

little monster:? ? ?
