Chapter 571 Going deep into the core


    The white glow flashed by.


    The next moment, Duanmu Huai and Mary felt a flash in front of each other, and then they appeared in a strange space.


    There is nothing to see here. At least in Duanmuhuai''s opinion, there are various walls and stairs made of strange characters and numbers everywhere. To be honest, it is even a bit dazzling if you see too much.


    At this moment, Liumier''s voice also came to his ears.


    [You have successfully entered the Reaper Network. How do you feel? 】


    "It feels very bad. I really want you to see what the **** is this. There are all kinds of characters like ghost-like talismans on the ground, the sky and the walls."


    [That''s the one who entered smoothly, oh, by the way, this is for you]


    As Liumier''s voice sounded, Duanmuhuai saw a dagger appear out of thin air and land in his hands.


    "This is?"


    [Destroying the virus is basically an evolutionary version of Skynet and Terminator. Since these Reapers are similar to Terminator, I think they should be equally useful]


    "Infection, overload, self-destruction triple-combo? I like it very much."


    Duanmuhuai played with the virus dagger, then turned around and looked around. Everything he saw was filled with various buildings and roads composed of these characters.


    "So, where should we go next?"


    [Sorry, I have no way to fully understand the Reaper''s system at the moment... Simply put, we are now at the communication center of the Reaper''s network port. What should we do next... Maybe I have to analyze it first]


    “How long will it take?”


    [It will take at least one hour]


    “It’s so troublesome.”


    Hearing Liumier''s answer, Duanmuhuai frowned and turned to look at Mary.


    "Mary, I''ll leave it to you."


    "Hey? But I''m not a hacker, and I don''t understand this knowledge..."


    "Not these matter, what matters is your right eye..."


    As he said, Duanmu Huai pointed at Mary''s golden eyes.


    "Have you seen anything special?"


    "Um………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Mary blinked and then glanced around. Then she raised her hand with a little hesitation and pointed to one of the roads.


    "I saw golden light coming out from here..."


    "Golden light? Where is it?"


    Duanmu Huai looked along the place where Mary''s fingers, but nothing could be seen except those tadpole-like characters.


    "Hey? It''s here... come here from the ground and go all the way toward it..."


    "You can actually tell it."


    "Woo...I don''t know either? I naturally thought so when I saw the light..."


    It is worthy of being a golden eye, it is really awesome.


    "Then let''s go, you can lead the way."


    "Hey? But if not..."


    "If it''s not, I''ll say it. It''s just a gamble. Don''t worry, I''ll be optimistic about you."


    “Ah, OK…”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Mary had to nod, then she raised her head and walked forward along the road.


    Duanmu Huai didn''t know what Mary saw. He just followed Mary and watched Mary turn left and right, left and right, up and down, left and right... But then again, although Mary''s route was very awkward, she didn''t know why it was very smooth. And the strangest thing is that there was obviously no road, when Mary walked over, the road would automatically appear.


    For example, when Mary walked over, she suddenly formed a bunch of characters from around to form a bridge, and a wall that looked towering into the clouds. When Mary walked to the wall, a passage suddenly opened in front of her...


    [I can''t believe it...]


    Although Duanmu Huai didn''t know what was happening to Liumi''er, the sound she heard was very shaken.


    "What''s wrong?"


    [How did you do this? Without triggering the alarm, it passed through several firewalls and even directly entered the back door of the other party''s central control system... This is generally only possible for the system administrator or hacker who has obtained the system key! 】


    "Even if you say that..."


    Hearing Liumier''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai just smiled and then looked at Marie who was looking left and right.


    "I can only say that someone has found the right path."


    Indeed, as Lumier said, searching deeply into the system is not an easy task. After all, only the user knows which route is a safe route. For others, there is no way to find the right path, so naturally they can only use hacking into the system or forcibly cracking.


    But Mary knew.


    Although she knows nothing about programming and is not a hacker, there is no secret in this world for Golden Eyes. It can see the truth and essence of everything, so the road that others cannot see is extremely clear in front of Mary''s eyes, just like a signpost on a highway.


    To put it bluntly, Duanmu Huai was getting lost in front of him, but Mary''s golden eyes already had their own navigation.


    “Chalalala———!”


    The characters surged again and spread to both sides, revealing the passage inside, and Mary and Duanmuhuai walked in. Then they came to a huge temple-like building. Unlike before, here is pure white, only a strange multifaceted sphere floating on the altar in front of it is emitting dazzling golden light, entering the sky.


    “It’s from there.”


    Mary reached out and pointed to the multi-faceted sphere in front, and Duanmu Huai nodded.


    "Okay, look at me."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai walked forward-but the next moment, he suddenly raised his hands and blocked him.


    Almost at the same time, a beam of light suddenly burst out and hit Duanmu Huai''s arm, knocking him back.


    "Mr. Duanmu?!"


    Seeing this scene, Mary screamed in surprise, and Duanmu Huai also put down her hand and stared coldly ahead.


    "To be honest, although this is the case according to the game process, I really don''t like it."


    "Why?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Mary was stunned for a moment, and then she looked forward and saw that in front of Duanmuhuai, in the originally empty space, there was a child who looked seven or eight years old. He just raised his head, stared at Duanmuhuai, and said lightly.


    "I really didn''t expect that you could come here, which was beyond my expectations. It seems that the organic races of this era do have some strange skills."


    "Who are you?"


    Looking at the child in front of her, Mary seemed confused because the message her eyes gave her was completely contradictory. On the one hand, Mary could clearly see the child in her left eye, but on the other hand, her golden eyes told her that no one existed in front of her.


    “I am the catalyst and I control the harvester.”


    Hearing Mary''s inquiry, the child spoke again, and when he heard the child''s answer, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and Mary was also shocked.


    "You control the Reaper? Why do you do this?"


    “For balance.”


    The child turned his head and looked at the golden beam flying behind him, then retracted his gaze.


    "Creating will always rebel against their creators, which will bring disaster, but we have discovered a way to prevent these from happening, a way to restore order. We harvest advanced civilizations and leave behind those that are still evolving, so that the tragedy will not repeat itself."


    “Uh…I don’t understand…”


    Hearing the child''s answer, Mary frowned, while Duanmu Huai shrugged. "It''s very simple. You can understand it. When civilization develops to a certain stage, it will begin to create inorganics. You see, isn''t many science fiction novels written in this way? Humans will create robots to serve themselves in the future society, which is that simple. But as robots become more and more advanced, they will develop self- and their gentry consciousness, and then they will begin to doubt their own value of existence, and they will have conflicts and even wars with their creators... You should have read similar novels."


    "Ah, of course I''ve read this, but isn''t that just science fiction?"


    "This is also the only way for most advanced civilizations, and this guy..."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai pointed to the child in front of him.


    "It is its creator who created it, hoping to solve this problem once and for all."


    “…………So, you mean……”


    Hearing this, Mary came to her senses.


    “…Because every civilization will come to this point, in order to avoid this, the Reaper will destroy those civilizations that have developed robots?”


    "Yes, see, is it very consistent with the logic of artificial intelligence? If the leek grows too old, it will smell and rot, so you should cut it while it is fresh and then grow a new one."


    Duanmuhuai held his arms and looked at the catalyst in front of him coldly.


    "So, artificial intelligence is always artificial intelligence retarded. They can''t do anything except this stupid method."


    “I don’t think this is a stupid act.”


    The catalyst opened again. ,


    "We help them develop so that they can make way for new lives, and those old lives will be preserved in the form of a harvester. We must do this. Without us to stop it, the synthetic body will destroy all organic life forms. The cycle of our creation has never gone wrong, and that''s the solution."


    "But………!"


    Hearing this, Mary wanted to say something, but was stopped by Duanmu Huai.


    "Don''t talk nonsense with it, Mary, it''s just an artificial intelligence retarded and can only do things according to the established logic. If you want to convince it, it''s just like you want to convince a stone to go swimming. Okay, do what we should do."


    “I won’t let you stop the cycle.”


    However, at this moment, the catalyst took a step back. At the same time, several tall monsters, who were from all directions, looked like alien creatures, walked out and blocked Duanmu Huai and Mary.


    "It is indeed beyond my expectations that you can come here, but you can only end here. The cycle must continue to protect the regeneration of civilization for the next generation."


    "Haha, what does it have to do with us?"


    Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and sneered.


    "The only thing we want to do is to let humans survive. As for what they will sacrifice for it, it doesn''t matter... Mary, leave these idiots to me, you can destroy the center!"


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai handed the virus dagger to Mary.


    "Hey? Me, me?"


    Mary was shocked when she heard Duanmuhuai''s orders.


    "That''s right, you can see the position of the central core. Who will you go if you don''t go? I will block these guys, so... let''s do it! Drink ah ah ah ah ah ah!"


    After saying this, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and then he rushed directly to the human wall in front of him like an angry bull, and the alien aliens also raised their hands to try to block Duanmu Huai''s way. But the next moment, they were directly hit by Duanmu Huai and flew out directly!


    “It’s now!”


    “Ah, yes!”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s roar, Mary also jumped suddenly. Then she gritted her teeth, took a sudden step, passed through the gap that Duanmuhuai had knocked out, and ran towards the central core.


    "Roar——!"


    "Go to die! The undead of the old era!"


    Facing the alien alien storm that was rushing towards him, Duanmu Huai also clenched his fists and hit the opponent''s head with a hammer. Then he turned around and kicked it out, directly kicking it in the chest of another alien. He knocked it away directly, and at the same time, another alien roared and opened his four arms and hugged Duanmu Huai tightly.


    "Get out, I''m not interested in men!"


    Duanmu Huai shouted again by being clutched by the alien, and his muscles suddenly expanded, and directly broke the alien''s four arms!


    “Aowu——!”


    With a scream, the alien with only the broken limbs and broken arms collapsed to the ground, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a spot of light and disappeared.


    “———!”


    However, at the same time, suddenly, several beams of light attacked again and hit Duanmuhuai directly. Soon, Duanmuhuai saw several aliens wearing armor and holding long spears and short cannons walking out of the air. Then these aliens raised their guns and aimed at Duanmuhuai. The next moment, a black shadow flashed suddenly, and countless tentacles suddenly appeared, piercing through the bodies of these aliens, turning them into light spots and disappearing.


    At this moment, Duanmu Huai raised his arms high - it should have been the position of his palm, but now dozens of tentacles are constantly squirming.


    "It seems that this thing is quite useful."


    While looking at his hands that were transformed into tentacles with satisfaction, Duanmu Huai looked forward again. In front of him, dozens of alien aliens appeared quietly.


    "Then, let''s have enough fun!"


    “Da da da da da da da da…!”


    The crisp footsteps echoed in the hall. Mary held the dagger tightly in one hand and ran forward desperately. Although the hall didn''t look big, she found it was very spacious when she ran, almost as big as a square. Fortunately, for Mary, she was used to similar situations.


    "Roar——!"


    Suddenly, a beam of light suddenly rushed over from the side, but Mary flashed to the side as if she was a prophet, avoiding the opponent''s attack. At the same time, she lifted up the hem of the skirt and shook it gently to the side.


    “Swoosh——!”


    Another beam of light almost flew past Mary''s shoulders and hit the ground.


    But even so, Mary still didn''t stop because - she could see.


    There was obviously nothing space, but Mary could clearly see the appearance of those monsters - originally in the empty space, countless characters suddenly appeared, and then these characters gathered together to form a monster, and she could even see the trajectory and end point of the opponent''s attack.


    Although Duanmuhuai blocked the attack of those monsters, they still held guns and tried to attack themselves from all directions. However, for Mary, there was no need to worry about this level of attack. When they aimed at Mary with their guns, Mary had clearly seen the aiming track - and the upcoming attack end point.


    In other words, for the other party, perhaps they still thought they were suddenly raids, but in fact, before they appeared, Mary had already clearly "saw" them.


    Is this the power of the golden eye?


    For Mary, this may be the first time she clearly realized the power of her golden eyes, countless beams, countless attacks, but this is not a problem, because she can see everything - find the gap and then drill through.


    “Woo!”


    Mary, who was originally running forward, suddenly rolled on the spot and avoided the giant hand caught from behind. She didn''t even look back, but continued to run forward. Although Mary is not sure what these monsters look like in the eyes of others, in her eyes, they just look like they are modeling made of characters.


    It''s coming soon!


    At this moment, Mary had arrived at the bottom of the altar. Under the dazzling golden light, she could clearly see a multi-faceted sphere located there.


    That’s it!


    The moment she saw this sphere, Mary had already got the answer in her heart. It was not the result of thinking, but the answer of Golden Eyes.


    Mary almost ran up and came to the altar, holding the dagger in her hand, stabbed the multi-faceted sphere in front of her, and then...


    "Click."


    With a light sound, the dagger in Mary''s hand was completely broken and disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    "Hey? Hey?!"


    Seeing this scene, Mary was stunned.


    Wait, what''s going on? Isn''t Miss Liumier said that just insert the core? Did I mess up? What should I do now? Could it be that because of our own mistakes, human beings are about to perish?


    "Liu, Miss Liumiel?"


    [Don’t worry, Mary, you did a good job... It’s successful! 】


    Just as Liumier''s voice sounded, suddenly, the whole space began to tremble violently like an earthquake.


    The next moment, the golden beam was instantly dyed black.
