[Comprehensive British and American] Chaoying Pet Shop

pet clinic.

Jerry's guardian is "in jail" and of course he can't go home.

It just so happened that all the balls in the clinic were sent to the temple, so Joe Ward simply kept him.

But Joe Ward can't control his half of his cubs for a while.

Joe Ward: [2-3! 】

After he finished calling like this, he walked around the clinic twice stupidly, and called again in his mind: [2-3! ! 】

System: [I am here, host. 】

System: [I am here, host. 】

It responded tirelessly.

For a system consciousness, it is obviously not enough to have delicate emotions like human beings.

And the time that the bat set out to back it up was very early, probably when the bat ball first discovered that it had a self-consciousness.

At that time, the first team was still Qiuqiu, and it was still far from the day of its demise.

So according to the timeline, at the beginning of the 2-3 backup, there was no memory of Arkham Asylum.

It felt like it just shut down and restarted, and then found that it was not by the host's side.

So of course, he drilled into the network along the wireless of Stark Tower, trying to re-bind with the host.

As a result, it discovered that the host had installed a new system!

2-3:? ? ?

Subsystems must coexist with the human body, and the host is not only their carrier, but also the source of their vitality.

When the host dies, the subsystem is destroyed; and vice versa.

However, the situation of 2-3 is somewhat special.

Because at the beginning, in order to copy it out of the bat ball and ensure that it would not be automatically destroyed when it left the human body, a piece of carrier code was specially compiled into it during the nano-transfer, so that its consciousness and memory were backed up on the carrier code.

So with nowhere to go, 2-3, riding its carrier code, wandered around the Internet for a while.

During his wanderings, he did not forget to study, and he thoroughly ate up the secrets of the National Security Agency.

Passing by the account of "Rare Little White Bird Conservation Association", I found that it seemed to be my host, and I often went in to have a look.

The host is tied to a new system, so what should it do?

It became the only unwanted subsystem in the world.

It was originally an abnormal system, but now it is even more abnormal...

Most importantly, a subsystem without a host cannot remain active for a long time.

It will go dormant again soon.The endless kind.

It's not much different from dying on its own.

So under the pressure of demise, 2-3 wrote a new order for himself.

——Replace that system and rebind your own host!

In order to possibly trigger a battle for the host, it even took the risk of hacking into other subsystems and upgraded itself with a brand new defense system.

It is very hidden and very careful, for fear that this completely strange world other than the host will reject it.

But it doesn't know.

When it, as a product of high-dimensional technology, became the first subsystem with autonomous learning ability, it was indeed omnipotent in this world.

Joe Ward: [2-3...]

The host is calling it again.

And suddenly wiped his eyes.

System: [I am here. 】

The system immediately checked the host's physical condition, and concluded that the degree of injury was 3%.

...not hurt enough to cry.

It remembered that its host was still quite strong.

So it detects the brain sector and reads the host's memory.

Arkham's tragic memories began to gurgle into its storage area.

At the same time, it was read, and there was another one, a huge bug left by "death".

The 2-3 that was backed up, saw the bug that he wrote "before he died", and instantly understood a lot of things.

——It actually bypassed the main system, broke through all the permissions that could be broken through, and realized some of Joward's wishes.

[Let all Chaoying who have assisted the host return to normal. 】

In the high-dimensional space, the energy is not like the three-dimensional world, which is only divided into electric heat quantum and so on.

There are more types of energy that can be used in high-dimensional space, and they can be converted into each other at will without loss.

In the world of high-dimensional systems, mass is energy, and time is space.

And when the host of the low-dimensional world makes a behavior of [actively changing the world line], it will generate enough energy to be used by the high-dimensional space.

The less you change, the less energy you generate; the more you change, the more energy you generate.

This is the original intention of the main system to select hosts and issue tasks——

It generates energy by driving low-dimensional creatures to continuously perform tasks and change the world line.

At the same time, it quantifies energy into reward points as a way to drive cheap labor.

These bonus points can be exchanged for time, upgrade skills, and more.

But for a high-dimensional system, it is nothing more than converting a part of the energy generated by the host itself into rewards, and then returning it to the host.

The energy used to convert rewards is almost the same as the energy accumulated to realize wishes.

After understanding this point, 2-3 recalled his hidden and massive observations, and came to a result:

There are actually very few hosts in this world who truly fulfill their wishes.

To realize the wish itself, you need to accumulate enough "energy" to convert it.

The more people and things involved in a wish, the greater the energy that needs to be accumulated.

This is why, the same hosts are also doing tasks, some hosts will soon realize their wishes, while some hosts are still on the way to complete the task.

Most of the hosts died in A-level and S-level missions with strict rules.

There are also some people who died in the hands of other hosts because of the battle royale rules formulated by the main system.

Once the host dies, the energy he has accumulated to fulfill his wishes will be returned to the energy bank of the main system.

This huge high-dimensional system maintains its upgrade and operation through this cycle mechanism of selecting hosts-driving hosts-accumulating energy-killing hosts.

In Arkham, before 2-3 was about to be destroyed by the main system, its last thought was to let the host fulfill its wish at all costs.

But at the time it found that it was a bit difficult.

The wish made by Joe Ward involves too many people.

There are sixty or seventy heroes in the Zhenglian and Avengers together, if not a hundred.

At that time, the energy he needed, maybe doing a few more S-level tasks, might not be able to accumulate.

So at the time of 2-3, I chose to use up the "energy" that Joward had accumulated up to Arkham, and let all the Chaoying who had assisted him in the first team return to normal.

So one after another 3600 hours passed.

And so the first squad of superheroes discovers that they never return to their ball form.

2-3 · Backup did not estimate the upper limit of his ability at that time.

It does not know that itself is also the product of high-dimensional space.

Once you break through the authority, you understand the tricks of the energy conversion of the main system.

What it can do in this world is actually almost the same as the main system.

2-3 told Joe Ward everything he knew.

System: [What can I do for you now, host? 】

Before it came back, it found that the host was sad.

After returning, why did the host seem to be even more sad...

Joward: [I won't make random requests anymore... Otherwise, you will be punished by the main system again. 】

System: [Not this time. 】

But Joward said nothing.

He talks to 2-3 in his head alone, and then he is happy and sad for a while.

Fortunately, he drove Jerry to the attic to rest early, otherwise his cubs might think he was crazy.

There is no way to take him 2-3.

It took the initiative to analyze the current situation from the host's memory.

System: [Host, do you want to find Loki? 】

It is a backup before the Brainiac War. According to the timeline, the current 2-3 has not tried to share the subsystem network with the host.

2-3 feels that since it was able to do it before, it must be able to do it now.

系统：【宿主，2-3是跟你共生共存的产物。未重新绑定前，2-3只有为你打开路灯的能量……但现在重新绑定后，2-3可以为你做更多。】

Joe Ward is actually very tangled.

He could bet his all on helping meringue, but at the cost of being written off again at 2-3... he cringes.

System: [2-3 said no, it won't. 】

Joward: [——Then I believe you. 】

The moment when the system ends the calculation in milliseconds.

The picture surged into Joward's brain violently.

2-3 sorted out carefully, so that these images filled his optic nerve in an orderly manner, so as not to put Joward under too much nerve pressure.

But Qiao Ward found that the subsystem network vision this time is not the same as before.

The concept of shared vision he proposed before is to let 2-3 sub-system networks connect the vision of other hosts to form a surveillance network that surrounds the world.

At the time of Brainiac's invasion, this surveillance network helped the superheroes locate the location of Brainiac's spacecraft when global communication was paralyzed.

Although the human eye monitoring network is free from communication interference, it can only be used to search for extremely large targets. Like the bat ball that disappeared later, this method of sharing the vision of other hosts is not enough.

But now, he found that the picture he saw was more macroscopic and more subtle.

This feeling is like, the whole world has become a Google map, or a glass house that he holds in his hand and observes;

If he chooses, he can adjust the viewing distance to see extremely small creatures.

It was as if he tried to get closer and realized that he saw the stretched hand bitch on the glass door of the clinic.

He couldn't help but wonder, if he had a physical body at this moment, and the people of the earth looked up, would they see a super-big eye in the sky?

This picture is a bit scary to imagine.

He shivered and didn't want to.

Joward: [Is this sharing the vision of other hosts...? 】

System: [You are sharing the field of view of 2-3... Is this wrong? 】

It was a little apprehensive, afraid that it might not be as good as it used to be.

It doesn't know that it is the first subsystem that has been separated from the host and roamed freely, which allows it to have the macro vision of high-dimensional creatures overlooking the world.

When it shares its vision with Joward, Joward is like a paper man who hastily brought into the three-dimensional world. Time and space flow through his eyes in the form of concepts, and everything he sees is weird and novel .

Joe Ward: [Okay, I'll see how it works...]

His consciousness is closely integrated with 2-3. When he is a consciousness out of the body, he is equivalent to being able to use all functions of 2-3.

And 2-3 was originally just like a tool, without the initiative of the host, it would not consciously explore the boundaries of its abilities.

The two of them are like two children who just discovered that they have a little bit of superpower. They didn't know whether they were strong or weak, so they fumbled and tested.

Soon, without 2-3 explanations, Joward himself began to quickly identify and compare faces in the field of view like a real system.

And in a bustling market in a small nameless country, he found the black-haired, green-eyed god of trickery who was mixed with the crowd.

Loki looked relaxed.

Because there is basically no surveillance in backward countries, he looks confident that no one can find him, not even the shapeshifting spell.

Joward: [Let me note the latitude and longitude.Now we go back to Gotham. 】

For the five-dimensional system, neither time nor space distance can be equated with three-dimensional space.

He just moved this thought, and his field of vision jumped to the Bat Cave in an instant, and he just happened to drive to the Red Sun Prison.

Now he can take a good look at the puff pastry.

Da Chao seems to be well adjusted, resting his cheeks, sitting in the red sun rays that stripped him of all superpowers, and playing with a little white cat with the other hand—huh?Where did the little white cat come from?

Joe Ward adjusted his sight distance to see that the little white cat turned its belly on all fours, holding Dachao's fingers and biting hard, its eyes were blue and innocently drooping, and it screamed when its stomach was poked.

"I can see everything. But I seem to be just a consciousness with a vision all over the world. I can only see but not move...?"

He kept exploring with 2-3.

For a moment, he felt a little pain in the depths of his brain, but the pain dissipated quickly - because he is now a consciousness that exists in the five-dimensional space, and the consciousness itself will not feel pain.

He just wanted to explore the capabilities of the system quickly so that he could see how he could help everyone in the future.

Joward walked around in the Batcave, and hacked into the computer next to the cell unexpectedly - he really didn't do it on purpose. For the five-dimensional system, all the defense programs in this world are just one push. That is, the mud wall that fell.

The five-dimensional system is almost in sync with his thinking speed, and by the time he reacts, his consciousness is already in the dense data flow in the computer.

Joward: [Wow... I'm starting to want to build a system too...]

The system that has been pretending to be calm, but secretly rubbing against the system for fear of being rejected: [Really. 】

Joward: [You can overlook the entire world like the Eye of Sauron, and you can also use all electronic devices in this world without threshold-do you know what this means? 】

System: [What. 】

Joward: [Almost omniscient!You can lock the location of all criminals in an instant, and you can control mechanical equipment all over the world-for example, if the RoboCop in the metropolis comes to make meringue trouble again, there is no need for Uncle Tony to take action, we can directly modify their Program, let them go home; if a disaster occurs somewhere on the earth, we will be faster than the most advanced disaster prediction bureau, and even hack into everyone’s mobile device to issue an early warning——]

Joward speculated, while groping for the flowing data, he opened a text input box on the computer desktop.

His "eyes" told him that a man in a black cloak was striding close to the computer.

Joward carefully entered Loki's latitude and longitude coordinates while confirming Loki's location.

He also knew that the black man's computer was a very unpleasant thing, so he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he silently entered the latitude and longitude, and only added one sentence:

[Loki's location is here... I think, maybe after finding him, we can release Superman...]

The hand of the dark knight, who was about to activate the strongest defense program, gave a sudden pause.

He typed: [Joe? ]

Joe Ward: ! !

How did you recognize it! !

Batman changed hands and sent the latitude and longitude to Doctor Strange. His fingertips wrapped in black gloves almost left an afterimage on the keyboard: [Tell me about your current situation. ]

Joe Ward quickly replied: [I'm fine!My 2-3 rebinds me, and then I'm testing our abilities... I have a lot to tell you guys, after the puff pastry is all right. ]

Batman: [—Your consciousness is now inside this computer? ]

乔沃德跟2-3确认了一下：[现在的话……应该是的。之前我是在跟2-3共享它的视野，但因为我想试试给你传达信息，所以2-3带着我黑……连接上了你的电脑。]

Batman: [The body is in the clinic? ]

Joward: [Uh, yes. ]

He also wants to say something, such as bats, you know, I think it is quite exciting to be a system, the processing speed is fast, and there is no physical restraint or anything.

The system is so good, I don't want to be a human!

But as soon as the man pushed the keyboard, he got on the Batplane and left.

Joward: [What's wrong with him...]

System: [2-3 don't know.Host, what is the next order? 】

Joe Ward: [Shall we continue testing?I think your eyes can predict huge disasters...]

The system insisted: [It's our eyes. 】

Joward smiled: [It's the Sky Eye system.May I? 】

Just like adjusting Google Maps on his mobile phone, he easily zoomed out to the point where he could overlook the entire world.

The world is drawn into a planar view from a high-dimensional perspective.

And his conscious body, like a transparent soul, floats outside the world, hovering in the void.

The little white bird hangs its head, watching the world from afar.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

But in the next second, he didn't have time to think about whether he was alone or not—

In the vision shared by 2-3 with him, somewhere on this "world map", a large number of white light spots are rapidly converging towards one place.

Finally, it condensed into a conspicuous, bright white spot.

Joward: [This is what you said, when an event that "changes the world line" occurs, the energy that will be generated? 】

These a large number of small white light spots are scattered on the vast world map, not eye-catching.

But when they converge, they look like burning flares on the surface of the Sun.

System: [Yes, host. 】

Joward: 【So much energy gathered, does it mean that another big event happened? 】

He has already begun to speculate reasonably:

Although the self-upgraded 2-3 are not clear about their own abilities, but their current bird's-eye view is probably not much different from that of the main system.

The main system should generate tasks for the hosts to receive based on where the energy gathers, and then use the energy for their own use.

System: [Host, your guess is correct.The main system has issued an urgent task. 】

Joe Ward: [Is it an emergency? 】

He struggled to remember what his last urgent mission was.

It was the time when some hosts were trapped by Hydra and the main system asked to save them.

The reason why the main system rushed to summon the host to resolve the incident is probably because the existence of the system itself cannot be exposed too much, otherwise its energy collection plan will be affected.

If he guessed correctly, the urgent tasks issued by the main system should all be events that would affect the main system itself.

Joward suddenly became interested: [Let me see what it is. 】

The stagnant position of the energy spot is the deepest and most inaccessible place in the East African Rift Valley.

There is a secret institution buried in dust and sand.

He zoomed in.

On the heavy iron door, there is a circular logo with three arrows pointing to the center.

A line of fine print below.

"Contain, contain, protect."

Joward: ? ?

It seems a little familiar.

His consciousness bound to 2-3 detected that there are countless supercomputers running in this large organization itself.

He easily hacked in.

A large amount of information entered Joward's mind after combing through 2-3.

"SCP Foundation: Area-02."

"Area-02 is mainly used to contain high-risk, hostile, or other dangerous anomalies, some Keter-level items. In addition to a company-sized security team, Area-02 is also equipped with multiple memetic eradication weapons, safety nuclear bombs, as a disaster Class containment breach or containment failure is the last option."

"So far, the only thing contained in Area-02: SCP-682 (Undead Lizard)."

"Area-02 has escaped containment: SCP-079 (Old AI)."

The archives of SCP-079 are kept under strict seal.

Joe Ward saw the nickname followed by 079, and instinctively wanted to see more.

But his head was already aching a little when he was in the Batcave.

It hurts even more now, I don't know if it was caused by the crazy alarm bell.

But when he was forced to leave the supercomputer in the Foundation, his head was still hurting more and more, and even his hands and feet began to feel cold and numb—it is obvious that a conscious body would not have the concept of "hands and feet".

Joe Ward: [2-3? 】

System: [House...Detect...Vital signs...Emergency return...]

A strong electric shock woke him up!

Joe Ward's consciousness returned instantly, and he returned to his body with severe head pain and numb heart.

For a while, his ears were buzzing loudly, and he couldn't even adapt to his bulky body in the three-dimensional world, and instinctively wanted to run back to the fifth-dimensional space with 2-3.

Another electric shock!

The system returned to the body before him: [Detecting the degree of injury to the host——]

Joward found himself lying flat on the clinic table.

The clothes on his chest had all been pulled away, and the big black bat was holding a defibrillator in his hand, carefully observing the electrocardiogram next to him.

When the systematic treatment was over, Batman dropped the defibrillator.

Hands gently supported the back of the little boy's neck.

Ever since he became a suitor, it was rare for him to turn coldly towards the little doctor: "You don't want to live anymore?"

Joward: "Huh???"

The author has something to say: the cheat seems to be a bit big, if there is no limit, the account will be banned...
