The Collection of The End

――AD.2156.5.21――

Normandy.

After subduing the code and detaining them, Morpheus and Anderson exchanged information with the other crew members in the meeting room on the ship.

To put it simply, "Morpheus" came out of the academy alone, told Trinity and Switch "Neo needs time for more training", and instructed them to "return to the landing site first and look at the pager and the password preparation materials How is the progress?"

Since he had revealed information that only insiders could know, Trinity and Switch did not suspect that they had it, and returned to the landing site with "Morpheus", and then they were ambushed by agents.

It was okay when he was taciturn in the car, but after the start of the escape, "Morpheus" directly exposed the fact that he had no fighting skills and military literacy. Trinity originally suspected that it was a ghost inserted by the matrix, but the agents After catching "Morpheus", he directly gave up on capturing other crew members. Only some ordinary agents participated in the pursuit, which gave them a chance to escape, and finally learned that it was actually a child with "superpowers" who was making trouble.

"We have to save the girl." Anderson said.

"We don't have to worry about her." Tank retorted.

"..." The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Anderson gave in slightly and motioned to each other to speak first.

"It's not that she won't be saved, but that she is not in danger at all," said the tank. "The Matrix wants to capture Murphys for the key to Zion in his brain, but one only has the ability to'transform'. It’s impossible for ordinary children to know that kind of thing. If there is no accident, the child should be released after the “transformation” is lifted. Maybe you are worried about what she will be the agent, but that’s impossible. No matter how fierce a shepherd dog is, it is impossible to attack the flock he wants to guard."

Although the tank was inexplicably classified as the "wolf" side, most of the crew nodded in recognition, only Murphys did not make a statement, watching Anderson wait for his answer.

"First of all, I just got out of the matrix. I don't know how the agents will treat our people after they catch us, but I will definitely find a way to block TA's actions, right?" Anderson looked around and saw that everyone was thinking. Said: "Will the child's action to'restore its original shape' be judged as an'escape method' and be prevented?"

"Then she can always talk, right?" Tank said.

"For the same reason, I don't know the countermeasures for our people after they are caught," Anderson nodded his forehead: "Is it possible to switch directly to the personality of a little girl who knows nothing?"

This time, the crew all looked at Murphys with different expressions.

And Morpheus actually nodded: "That kind of technology is there. To use a metaphor that you can understand, if the human brain is a computer system, then it is a dual system, or a virtual machine. Although it can effectively prevent attacks, It is not perfect. If you are continuously attacked, you will always be breached and search for real data."

"So... the last two questions," Anderson sighed: "The agents caught'Morpheus' with the cooperation of the dedicated inner ghost of the'password'. Maybe they suspect that'he' is fake? Think that this result is only a prank by a little girl?"

"As for the brain is not a dual system or a virtual machine, it's just the girl of the'normal system', what will happen to her after being'breakthrough'?"

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, no one responded to Anderson's question, and this silence can also be said to be an answer.

"There will always be a resistance matrix—" The pager seemed to be about to say something cruel, but was stunned by an elbow hit in the ribs by the switch.

"If you still can't decide, I'll give you a condition that you can't refuse," Anderson continued: "Have you ever thought, why do you think the girl is Morpheus? Just by appearance?"

"No," the switch with short white hair was puzzled: "At that time, I did hear her say'first return to confirm the password and pager preparation materials', this should not be known by simply imitating the ability of deformation."

"Yes, from his going out, to the ambush, to his final arrest, except for his strength, his speech and behavior are exactly the same as Murphys, and some details that only our insiders know about during the chatting." Trinity added. .

"When I saw her for the first time, she pretended to be a mirror and imitated my behavior without delay. Only when I didn't know what to do, she lost to me," Anderson said, "Now think about it. Thinking, isn’t it strange that a little girl pretends to be a mirror and imitates others, yet she does not show any flaws due to the delay and asynchrony of her actions because of her observation?"

"So?" The tank held his breath for some reason.

"So, her ability is actually not'transformation', but'copying'," Although there is no more evidence, Anderson still said her own speculation: "According to my guess, because the'level' of this'copy' is not enough Gao, although she is able to respond to questions directed to him that she doesn't know what it means, and when facing each other, she can also imitate the other's'planned' actions simultaneously, but that's all."

"This..." A group of crew members looked at each other, even Morpheus was lost in thought.

"That is to say..." In the end Trinity was the first to speak: "She actually knows the key to enter'Zion'. Although she doesn't know what it is, if she is willing to tell them, the receiving instrument can still resolve it. It came out, but the agent believed that she was just a virtual personality for protection, and would not provide her with the equipment needed to resolve the key, and would only concentrate on'breaking through the protection of the virtual personality'."

"'Breakthrough protection' will inevitably lead to the girl's death, and if an agent wants to directly connect her with a key parsing device in the process, the password will be directly exposed. So, is there a good reason to save her?" Anderson concluded.

"Very enough," Morpheus smiled: "We will save her now, but Neo, you have to stay on the boat. I will enter the access key in advance. If we fail, the tank, you go directly to Zion. And try to persuade them to change the key."

"This is crazy, we have never attacked the agent's stronghold frontally..." The tank grabbed his hair in disbelief.

"I won't stay," Anderson shook his head: "I came out of this idea. I can't stay out of it anyway, besides..."

He stared at Morpheus earnestly: "You believe that I am the'savior', but the answer given by the'prophet' is'it is possible'. I don't know what her standard is, but he easily let an innocent girl die. Obviously there is no [qualification] to become a savior."

Finally, he pulled a slightly crappy text:

"If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?"

【——AD.1999.5.21——】

Eight blocks away from Anderson's software company, there is a skyscraper whose exterior walls are all made of bright yellow glass. The skyscraper is short, fat and columnar. It is often called "corn" by the citizens. , But its official name is "Hive".

Although it has such a friendly nickname, the residents of the city keep away from it, because whenever there is a case, there will always be many special police rushing out from the main entrance of this building or the underground parking lot to solve the problem, sometimes even high-grade black A black suit with a car and sunglasses appeared.

Therefore, even though the base of the official secret organization is so obviously unthinkable, even the most curious reporters did not intend to go in and find out.

Inside the honeycomb, there is no elevator or staircase to reach it. The whole is empty. In a certain white building, several agents with different looks but similar temperaments are observing "Morpheus" who is locked in a transparent cylinder. , His face was puzzled.

"All the data show that he is Morpheus." An agent said.

"But there seems to be something wrong with his head." Another agent raised his hand and turned his head twice.

"The level of protection of the mere "virtual personality dual system" is not enough for me!" The third agent was struggling to beat on the computer connected to the transparent cylinder.

"Smith, can I leave first?" The first agent turned to the last agent who didn't say a word with a strange expression: "Although there is no such function, I really want to vomit."

"..." Agent Smith looked inside the cylinder, put on a "Morpheus" with a crying expression like a little girl, and waved his hand for the speaking agent to leave.

The two agents were amnested, and disappeared into a strange green light.

"You can go." Smith walked behind the agent who was still typing on the keyboard desperately.

"Hey! I'm different from those two wastes. I only pay attention to the data and don't care about the appearance of them." The agent didn't look back.

"If this is the case, you should have discovered that it is not'Morpheus' long ago," Smith pressed his shoulders: "Now go to the bottom and prepare to deal with the invaders. Let me talk to this girl alone."

"Cut..." The agent stopped typing on the keyboard with an uncomfortable expression, looked up at "Morpheus", and disappeared like a green streamer.

"..." Although Smith said he wanted to talk to "Morpheus", he did not speak after the "colleagues" left one after another, but silently stared at the person inside the cylinder without saying a word.

Under the silent gaze of the agent through sunglasses, "Morpheus", who was still a little panicked, finally gradually reduced his expression and turned to stare at Smith with a suspicious look.

"I found you," Smith helped his sunglasses: "[Lin Hao]."

Following the exit of this sentence, the whole world seemed to be quiet for a moment.

"[You wear sunglasses for a long time, don’t your eyes look bad? I'm obviously a'Hundred Beauty'!]" "Morpheus" paused, broke the calm first, and laughed: "[When did she incarnate into a man? ?]"

"You are not a man, but you are incarnate as a little girl who can become a man. This is considered a loophole." Smith remained unchanged. "If we guessed correctly, your current name should be'Riven Duckholm. (RavenDarkholme)'."

Huh—the moment the name was spoken, the tall, bald black man shrank suddenly and turned into a little girl with blue skin.

"[Did you bring the sunglasses into your head?]" "Morpheus" or the little girl Ruiwen, although her appearance and voice have changed, but her tone has not changed: "['Morpheus' is here There is no death in the plot? Is there any need for salvation?]"

"The switch, the pager, the mouse, and the bulldozer died in the original plot," Smith said at the same rate: "Except for the mouse's consciousness dying in the matrix, everyone else is Those who died in the'reality' but in the virtual world cannot save them at all. You can only start from the source of the incident,'Morpheus was arrested'."

"[Just kidding, it's impossible for them to die outside. The weapons on the ship have been shut down for friendly damage, and the intubation behind the head is technically eliminated, and powering off the dive cabin will not kill the user—]"

"—So, how do you know the ‘reality’?" Smith interrupted her.

"[...Huh?]" Raven's eyes stared, and his tongue was suddenly open.

"You're just a little girl, no, it's just the artificial intelligence that Gu Yi pinched out. There is no way to understand the'reality'. When the plot in the'matrix' is basically the same as the original, how do you know the'reality'? Is the situation different from the original?" Smith took a step forward.

"[Ah? Hey? Yeah? How did I know?]" Raven tilted his head, eyes dull, as if stuck.

"Understanding the plot of the original, I want to save others by sacrificing myself at a key point, and I know clearly what is impossible to know at this time, so there is only one truth." Smith took another step forward.

"[I'm really'good forest'?]" Raven repeats dumbly what Smith called her at the beginning.

"No, you are indeed [Hundred Appearances]," Smith stopped and shook his head slowly: "The relevant element is missing a key point: you did not carry a stupid-looking pet with you."

"[...Is it fun to tease me?]" The little girl instantly recovered from a dazed state, and then stared at Smith with a dead fish-eyed expression.

"Try it without spending money, what if you get it right?" Smith said, "In fact, we considered'Switch' and'Trinity' as her possibility, but the switch is obviously a couple with the pager, and Trinity Di...Although she met the requirements in all aspects and died before the finale, it seems not easy to replace. Is it possible to make Mr. Anderson single? Then this savior is too miserable."

"[Actually, it's not impossible...]" Baimong seems to be thinking about feasibility seriously.

"I don't know how many [latecomers] like you who think they understand the truth of the world and act at will, but since you have understood our purpose, don't—"

bump!

The two agents who had left before suddenly smashed through the wall and rushed in: "Smith! Hackers have killed the door! They have used all kinds of strange skills to knock out all the special police at the bottom!"

"..." The silent agent in sunglasses and the **** man in the trench coat looked at the door together.

"Heh, even the cannon fodder guards that the protagonists used to be handsome want to save, why do you think I suspected her here?" Smith whispered to "Morpheus", and then turned directly to the wall hole.

"Modify the elevator data so that they can go to the top floor. We will meet the Mr. Savior."
