[Synthesis]Intelligent Simulation

Neo West feels very bad recently, he is just a small clerk in the stock exchange... Well, he also has a part-time freelance hacker job in private.But you can't blame him, can you? He is just a small employee and not a venture capitalist. He has no money and has to use his skills to get a deputy job.

Of course, since he was working in such an environment, it was absolutely legal for him to seek some benefits from it. It was of course completely legal to buy a few stocks for himself to increase his savings.

But the recent streak of stock losses has made life even more difficult for him.In order not to make his life difficult, he had no choice but to take a risky job and take on a job that seemed very risky.

And...has he said that he's been having trouble lately?People have stumbled, horses have stumbled, which describes his current situation——

He missed and was almost tracked back by the National Security Bureau gang, but a friend in his circle helped him at a critical moment.Even though he doesn't know each other.

——Just because they are all celebrities in the circle doesn’t mean they will definitely know each other, doesn’t it?

But he knows this method, every famous hacker has his own characteristics to distinguish himself from others, and this, undoubtedly belongs to in, he is very grateful to the other party for doing this, but beyond his expectation is , The other party actually contacted him afterwards.

He watched his computer screen go black for an instant and then light up again. There was nothing on the black desktop except for a blinking cursor, and a line of words was automatically typed on the screen—I am in.He thought for a while and typed such a sentence on the screen with his keyboard.

"Hey, I mean, thanks for helping out today."

[Hello, no need to thank me, it's a little effort, if you really want to thank me, can you come out and meet me? 】

"That's it, no need..." Neo replied warily.As a hacker, he is fully aware that not all of the things he does are legal, and many authorities do not like their behavior of wandering on the edge of the law.And a hacker whom he didn't know for a second suddenly invited him to face him?

This is no fun.

Neo thought, although he really wanted to meet this legend in the circle, but there was a certain risk that his opponent would set him up, so he refused in the first reaction.

[I've been following you for a long time. ] After he finished answering that sentence, the other party paused and said something irrelevant [By the way, eating this kind of fried junk starch food often is not good for your health, and from your medical health chart, Two eggs a day won't help your already high cholesterol either. 】

"wtf!!!!" Seeing this line slowly and rhythmically appearing on the screen and becoming complete, Neo read it, and threw the bag of French fries in his hand on the table instantly in fright. After almost jumping up, he stretched out his hand in shock, and tentatively typed the answer on the keyboard, "What! How do you know this? Are you following me!" The word pervert hovered between his fingers for a while, but he still didn't type like that Go out, he doesn't want to anger the other party.

[Don't be so afraid. ] And the other party acted as if this matter was as easy as today's sunny and cloudy day [You don't believe me now. 】

Neo took a special look at the other person's sentence. The sentence used a period, so this is a statement sentence, and his answer is not needed. He swallowed nervously, and typed a sentence, "Who are you, what do you want? of."

[The question is what do you want? 】The other party answered very quickly this time, the speed of typing broke through the usual speed, and the next sentence appeared almost in an instant, causing Neo to wonder whether the person sitting on the other side of the computer was not a human at all but an octopus【 Have you ever woken up and couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream?Have you ever woken up and thought it wasn't real? 】

"..." Neo didn't answer this time. He felt that this should be something that everyone has experienced. It's just that he fell asleep, and it wasn't as serious as the other party said.

Probably his hesitation and reluctance to answer touched the other party, and the other party sent another sentence after a while [You don't believe me now, but you will believe me soon. 】

【Tomorrow, the Dow Jones will drop 852 points to close at 7586 points, and your stock will fall by 7%. Don’t try to recover, because you will be powerless when the market opens.Then, let's talk again. 】

The next day, the incident was so shocking that Neo still couldn't forget it, so he turned on the trading system after work and kept staring at the stocks he bought. At the moment the market opened, the line fell by seven points.Then within the day, the line was stable without any upward or downward trend until the close.Before leaving get off work, Neo took a look at today's closing index, and then—

****

So, that's why he's sitting by the window of this Michelin three-star restaurant now, embarrassed.

He'd never been to a fancy restaurant like this, and it wasn't something his class could afford, so he certainly wouldn't feel good sitting in this quiet, elegant restaurant in his own t-shirt and jeans.

Especially sitting opposite him is a beautiful girl, that girl's body may not be as hot as the one he likes, but she is indeed a natural soft girl-next-door temperament, sitting there has a kind of sunshine hitting her The body will appear softer.

If you have to use any words to describe it, Neo thinks that this is the temperament that fits the "goddess" positioning in the hearts of all nerds.

At this moment, the goddess took a sip of the damn expensive coffee, flipped through the menu and said, "Relax, Mr. West, no one will suddenly come in and arrest you because of your clothes."

"Oh...okay." Although he nodded, Neo still pulled his clothes stiffly.

"..." This caused the other party to raise his head slightly and give him a comforting smile, "I recommend this beef tongue. Do you have anything more to order?"

"Uh...no, I don't even have an opinion." Neo unconsciously relaxed some tense shoulders during this conversation.

The other party seemed satisfied with his answer, nodded, closed the menu, and ordered a few dishes to the waiter who came over, looking very skilled.Neo guessed that the other party came here often, and flipping through the menu was just to give himself time to prepare.

The waiter left.

The other party turned his head and looked at him with blue eyes, "We have a little time for ourselves to talk about our own affairs. I promise not to be disturbed."

"..." Neo didn't quite understand what the meaning of being disturbed meant, he just swallowed and said, "I thought you were a man."

"This is also logical." Unexpectedly, the other party was not angry because of his words, tilted his head while holding a coffee cup, and said, "However, our topic today is not this."

"Did you see that old lady outside?" Vita turned her head and pointed to the scenery outside. Neo followed her hand to look over, just in time to see a gray-haired old lady fell down on the side of the road.

"One minute and 15 seconds ago, a car two intersections ago was out of control due to brake failure, and it was driving on a rampage here. And guess, this person, will he stop to help the old lady?" Vita pointed to another white-collar worker outside the window who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

"..." Neo didn't understand the topic of the other party's rapid jump, so he couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought. He just looked at the white-collar she was pointing at, glanced at the place where he fell, and then continued to look down. head away indifferently.

Then, when he was walking across the road, he paused because of the phone call. The next second, a stalled truck sped over with a bang and crushed him to the ground, causing the people around him to scream.

"..." Neo looked at this thrilling scene, and then looked at the girl opposite him who was also looking at the car accident but her expression hadn't changed at all. He suddenly felt that the other party was not as gentle as he felt before, and he felt the hairs on his back stand on end. "How do you know this?"

"The question you asked is still out of the question." Vita turned her head, shook her finger and smiled at him. "The question is, if he helped the old lady, would he survive?"

"Of course." After Neo blurted out, he paused for a moment, because at this moment, he saw the old woman who had got up on her own tremblingly and slowly crossed the road.

If that person had just reached out to help, would it be him and the old lady who were killed?

"You didn't stop them, even though you know so much." Neo held back for a while before saying this.

"Neither have you, although you can change a lot." The girl smiled at him, resting her chin on one hand, looking at him inquiringly. "You can't deny that, can you? You can change a lot of things at will." The other party said the truth so easily that he felt creepy, but he could only continue to listen, "What did you think this was when you were young? God's blessing? But as you grow up, the ability It's getting harder and harder to control, and until now, you've only had flashes of your ability here and there, like the little trick you used last night to escape the police."

"..." That was Neo's deepest secret. He found that he had some...abilities that could change certain realities, or at certain times he felt that everything around him slowed down, such as when he ran away yesterday .

"Mr. West, do you feel that this world is not real?" He saw the other party raised his hand at this time and pointed to the sun outside.

"..." Neo looked at the sun again, and he had to close his eyes when the sun hurt his eyes, then he turned his head and found that there were already empty plates on the table, and half of the leftovers were eaten There was pasta in front of him, and he had no memory of when he had eaten it.

This feeling was too weird, and Neo realized instantly that the guests around him were still the same as when he entered the door.

He blinked and felt the hairs all over his body stand up. That weird feeling entrenched in his heart made him feel too many things. He felt like he was in a dream again. This feeling bewitched him He asked a thorn in his heart all the time, "What is a matrix?"

"Good question." Vita stopped tapping the other hand on the table, but still gave a strange smile, as if she was also confident about this question, which gave Neo an illusion... Then he heard the other party continue Say "I'm afraid you'll have to look into that yourself."

Before Neo could say anything, a person came over. The old-fashioned black suit and sunglasses made Neo shut up. The other person lowered his head and nodded to the girl across from him, leaning over and whispering a few words.

It didn't take long before he knew how dangerous these men in black suits were.

Then Vita nodded to him, stood up, and smiled at him, "If you want to know the truth, tomorrow, when those people come to you, tell those people that you are the savior."

"What does that mean!" Neo asked at the last chance before the other party turned to leave.

"That means, you will enjoy the coffee here for the last time." The other party paused and turned his head and smiled at him.
