Xiling Empire Chapter 1268: Margins and Rifts

Remember [novelmao.com] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

I was standing in front of a completely unfamiliar girl child. She was tall and tall. She was about the same size as the female rogue in Icetis. She had long linen hair. Her face was not very characteristic, but also very good. Beautiful appearance, there is a pair of slightly energetic eyes, the other party is wearing Empire Army uniform, but I’m sure that this face of her first appeared in the military area. At first I was stunned by this strange girl, but she quickly greeted me quite familiarly, and then I noticed that there was a small sign on her chest with a line on it. The bad word of dog crawling: “Xi Ling, if you find it, please contact the military department, thank you.”

“Are you Xilin?” I was amazed at the completely unfamiliar girl in front of me. I felt that world outlook was not enough. “How did you become like this?”

“Well, when I was doing the test, I was dumbfounded, and then I forgot what I looked like last time.” Xi Ling said with a smile, looking very happy, and didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with this change. . I was dumbfounded by the other party ’s answer, and I never realized what the concept of the so-called indefinite life body is … it ’s a record of all known species, and the body shape can be switched at will. She usually plays too much high-level-I do n’t know how shallow did she try to make her a bicycle?

Anyway, the unlucky slime at home is really learning to turn into a bicycle now.

My eyes fell on the small sign on the other party ’s chest. The thing was slap-sized. It looked like a work card of some big company. It was hung around the neck by Xiling with a red string. Whimsical guy …

“This was given to me by the hostess. She said that I was running around all day, and I always changed my appearance. I was afraid I would lose it.” Xi Ling shook the little white metal card happily, as if Use it as a necklace, “But I do n’t think it ’s useless, do n’t you recognize others as long as your soul remains the same? Oh, of course, I ’ll take it with me and take it when I go to other places.” . “

It seems that Xi Ling already knows many of the characteristics of Xiling Apostle, such as how to identify other people through the unique identification code of the soul, but she is still not clear that the empire ’s high level is actually not normal Xiling Apostle: we are still used to face recognition Human. It was just like me a few days earlier that I encountered such an “unrecognized” spirit, so I made her such a brand with my brain. This thing looks silly, but don’t you really say, why is it so fun to see it when Xi Ling hangs it around his neck?

Although this was an accidental encounter, since we met, it ’s natural to talk by the way, and now I do n’t have much to do. These two days have been accompanied by Anurili, and I have no time to meet this “big man” who has just returned to the empire. It is just now that I am taking this opportunity to understand the current situation of understanding this confusing super consciousness.

The most relaxed and suitable place to rest and chat is of course the Sylvia shop, which is next to the separation wall of the military zone and less than two hundred meters away from the assembly square. When I pulled Xi Ling in the past, it was the moment when the shop sent away only a few guests of the day: at this hour there will be a few mass-produced bubbles to buy desserts, basically the guests that Sylvia can expect There are just a few of them. The student guests from the military academy belong to the rare elite. Usually, except for the rest day, they rarely refresh within half a kilometer around the military zone. After all, they are caught outside of the rest day by their instructors. Time to come here to buy things, it is not fun.

Several nervous and very excited mass-produced bubbles disappeared at the end of the street under my own eyes, and I pulled Xi Ling to open the glass door of the shop, greeting the person who may be in a daze. The lunch manager: “Sylvia! There are guests myself!”

“Call Mao, call Mao, I have seen you two already. Isn’t that why you are preparing drinks for you?” A series of excitedly-like, brisk sounds came from behind the counter, and I stared at the silver-haired mole in astonishment. The mouse clumsily packed up the packaging and other debris on the counter. Behind her were the coffee beans floating in the air and tearing the packaging. The creature suspected of Sylvia looked up at me and squinted, “Say first, only Coffee and black tea, orange juice was drunk by 001, Coke was ionized by 036, helium tri … you must not drink helium tri. I really do n’t know if these guys are here to help or to help, and they eat more than anyone else. More, before leaving, one person still gets a bag … “

Needless to say, this must not be Sylvia ……

“Belavela? Why are you free? Isn’t it usually a lot of energy to come out at once?” I smiled and looked at the raven who was complaining because his “daughter” was not useful. Wang, she is not like Sylvia, who is slow and slack, but also like the Belavela that was once cold and cold. During this time in Shadow City, especially after spending time with us, Belavela has Everyone is familiar. Perhaps in front of outsiders, she is still the horror shaper, but in private, she is a good guy: she has a poisoned mouth.

“I don’t come out to help let the silly guy continue to receive relief food every month?” Belavela summoned a big water polo, snapped his fingers, and the water polo floating in the air began to boil in a flash Up, with this at the same time, the coffee beans floating in the air on the other side grind themselves into a powder. The way she makes coffee is really quite hail as the best/acclaim as the acme of perfection. “I share an body with her. She usually I also followed the bad luck. Every time I woke up, I recalled the days I spent in body during my sleep. I was very heavy. The guy did n’t even know how to buy new clothes … “

My name is didn’t expect Belavela, which still hides such deep resentment, but her resentment is not incomprehensible. Shadow City has three famous poors, the two who occupy the top of the list are of course Acida and Acidora sisters, followed by Sylvia … sharing a body Belavela with Sylvia is really destined to be dragged to death by the pig teammates.

“Oh—the way you grind coffee is quite interesting.” I laughed a little and didn’t comment on the daily life of the Sylvia‘s nerd, and changed the subject by the way. In front of Belavela, there was a boiling big water ball floating, and she took a set of filters to prepare for the next step. Mage is different from ordinary people. They can toss a cup of coffee.

“Do you think I am willing to toss this way?” Belavela sighed quietly, “The coffee machine was dismantled by 001 …”

I am quite sure that the mass production ravens came to the store to help.

“Here, this is a confident work,” Belavela sent two cups of coffee in front of me and Xi Ling, then hooked his fingers at the counter, and a lot of pastries were directly transferred to the round table, “I made it myself.” Well, you eat and talk slowly. I ’m going back to bed first. I ’m tired after an hour, and I have to go to Heaven Sector City to help in the afternoon. By the way, remember to pay the bill later. “

Thank you, and Xi Ling on the opposite side has already started to stuff snacks in her mouth, but a few seconds later, Belavela was still standing beside the table, and I looked up at her curiously: “You are not Do you want to go back to bed? “

The silver-haired woman looked down at me blankly and said slowly: “Yeah-she has fallen asleep-”

I: “…” Why don’t you know some normal guys!

“I like the dim sum here!” Xi Ling didn’t seem to care about the environment of surroundings at all. She was bulging in her mouth, but her speech was as clear as usual. “I eat here for the first time.”

Then I learned that the first stop of Xi Ling just came to Real World is not the town of Yokai, but this dessert shop located beside the shadow fortress. This is also easy to understand. Although Xi Ling can transport herself everywhere regardless of distance and obstruction, the distance she wanders for the first time will not be far away from the crystal where she was originally living. The Sylvia store is farther away than another space. The town of Yokai is much closer. Xi Ling initially knew nothing about the life of Real World. She just changed a similar appearance according to the clothes of base personnel, and then wandered here. At that time, she did not know that there was such a thing as “eating” on World.

Then she was entertained by Sylvia. The silver-haired mole, whose thinking was always out of touch with Real World, undoubtedly entertained a race consciousness (pseudo) that thought first co-produced with Real World. The life form like Xi Ling has no demand for eating at all, but she remembers this first reception well, and regards eating as an important thing: By the way, she also regarded Sylvia as her first friend. Although she is still not very clear about the concept of friends.

In this way, if Belavela can wake up once in those days, we will save the Black Dragon martial law throughout the city …

“Are you still used to these past few days?” I looked at Xi Ling, who was eating happily, and it felt like looking at an ignorant sister: Of course, this sister was a little bit bigger.

Xi Ling nodded, continue to use the kind of mouth that is completely stuffed but still clear-mouthed: “Well, the World outside is quite interesting. The same thing looks different at home and outside. I have finished reading all the things given by Tavel, and I have also remembered them-although I still don’t understand them. “

When Xi Ling said here, she seemed a little embarrassed and felt sorry for her understanding of ability ’s lowness, but soon she revived and brought a confident smile: “But even if I do n’t understand me Hard work! Tavel said, as long as you know what you should do, as for why you do n’t care about it for now-anyway, the command of Emperor is the truth, the same is said in the underlying protocol. “

My expression should be a little subtle, but Xi Ling can’t see it. Whether this still immature super-consciousness can take on a big role is still uncertain, but she must already have the most basic principles of Xiling Apostle: obedience to orders, execution, efficiency, and loyalty.

I talked to her about the spiritual network. It is from another perspective to understand this huge data network. As the topic extends in this direction, I finally mentioned the long-lost half of the spiritual network.

Accurately, it is the other half: Old Empire period has 135 days. The spiritual network is unprecedented in size, and after the disaster, only 15 days of the network survived due to isolation. , Xi Ling is the part of consciousness that remains in this 1/35 network. She is just the most humble part of the network most flourishing period, and the backbone of this network is now in the hands of Fallen Apostles.

The huge casualties caused by the catastrophe may have caused severe damage to the backbone, but I believe that even then, the spiritual network mastered by Fallen Apostles is several times stronger than the Empire.

“Lost … the other half,” Xilin, who seemed a little too optimistic, looked serious when he mentioned this topic, “I have no impression, I ca n’t remember what happened in those days, but there are really This feeling, the current body is very weak, and inexplicably feels that … it’s very … at home … “

“Very narrow?” I remembered the word mentioned by the other party when I first met with Xi Ling.

“Yes, it ’s very narrow, and it ’s much smaller, so body has become weaker. I ca n’t remember what I was like, but the subconscious mind always feels that … the network is not normal now. , At the marginal place, there is a big rift, where the place that could have been reached has now become a void. “

Xi Ling ’s way of describing it is strange to me, but this is her perception of the spiritual network through her own perspective, which is of great reference value to outsiders. We know everything about Xi Ling: her memory, thinking, and soul are all rooted in the spiritual network. Defects in this network will cause her performance to decline, and at the same time will also cause her to shrink. She could n’t remember what was happening now, partly because of this: her processing performance was greatly damaged as the network split that year, so that the remaining system resources were not enough to maintain the original huge consciousness, so she could only give up, Or passively lost many memory.

Another reason is related to her hiding in the crystal at that time: a piece of memory crystal, even if it has a large capacity, it is impossible to completely save the super consciousness like Xi Ling when she uploaded herself into the crystal It should have given up a lot of memory, plus the wear and tear over the past tens of thousands of years, she still remembers that her name is Xi Ling already pretty good.

“Do you remember what you hid in the crystal?” I mentioned a question that everybody never understood. “You seemed to have planned your own escape route and jumped out of the fifteen-day zone.” , Avoiding the contaminated area at that time, drifting all the way to the far front, and then being picked up by Melova people … this last may be an accident, but otherwise it seems to be planned. “

“I don’t remember,” Xi Ling shook his head shouted, “I was so smart then?”

“Ah, maybe …” I said with confusion. It has been confirmed that there is a consciousness hidden in that crystal, so Shandora‘s original judgment instantly had a higher degree of credibility: Crystal intentionally planned his own escape route. However, even if this assumption is true, we are still not sure whether Xi Ling really planned everything at that time. She did not communicate with anyone at that time, and no one in entire Empire knew about Xi Ling ’s existence. How did she complete it by herself? Such a sophisticated plan?

Or … At some earlier moment, the consciousness generated by the spiritual network, through its own power, subtly influenced the Apostle(s)s in the fifteen-day district to prepare for her future escape?

Things are still confusing, and at present, it is impossible to get answers from Xi Ling. So I gave up looking for answers in her everything in disorder memory and moved to another topic: “You just mentioned that in your perspective, the spiritual network has an obvious ‘margin’? Is there any rift or something?”

When Xi Ling mentioned these two nouns just now, I did n’t pay much attention because I felt it was a very high science and technology, but now I recall that I suddenly feel that this is not a normal event. The result-what Xi Ling said next was really unsettling.

“Well, a fairly obvious fracture zone,” Xi Ling stirred the coffee in front of him, “at home … I mean on the spiritual network, the connection of each node should be smooth, even at the edge of the network, the connection point Where there is a termination, there should be a complete termination signal, which is determined by the underlying protocol. But I always feel … There is an abnormal margin at the end of the network, where the mental network is not terminated normally, but something opposite It disappeared, cut across the board, and then there was no edging … Well, this metaphor was found by me temporarily, that is the feeling. Outside that margin is the Great Rift Valley that I dare not dare to dabble, and it seems like a big hollow, there There is nothing. Once I pass by, I think I will lose my node forever. “

It is difficult to understand Xi Ling ’s unique perspective, but I still try my best to understand her words, because I have been aware of at this moment, which is probably an extremely serious matter.

The spiritual network of the empire … that ’s a basic thing. Anything that appears to be in it must be magnified dozens of times!

The spiritual network has a broken band, which reminds me of the concept of separation at that time. However, it is not false to isolate the spiritual network from the backbone network in the fifteenth day area, but this isolation is also based on compliance with the underlying protocol. On the basis of, as Xi Ling said, on the normal boundary of the network, each limit node should have a normal termination signal. This signal is probably the same kind of footnote as “the number of forwarding available here is zero.” To indicate that this node has no subsequent nodes.

The abnormal margin mentioned by Xi Ling does not have such a termination signal.

Real World people will not be threatened by this abnormal situation, but Xi Ling, who lives on the Internet, regards this rift valley as a beast of floods.

“Because there is no termination signal, once accidentally, it may fall into the rift valley,” Xi Ling said worriedly, “It is equivalent to sending all the data to a can do nothing about it feedback information storage, I will fall into the hole … not long ago I took a careful look at that edge and was terrified. “

Xi Ling finished with a lingering fear, pours all the coffee into his mouth, seeming to be shocked.

This abnormal network termination has never been discovered, and even the bubble that has been monitoring the entire network has never reported a similar situation.

“You haven’t told anyone about this?”

“Well, because it was just discovered two days ago, I ca n’t figure out what the margin is, so I want to understand it and then report it … Now, your majesty, am I doing something wrong?”

“It’s not wrong, but a little risky. Don’t go to that edge for now,” I frowned. “I want to discuss with Bubble and Shandora … I must find a way to translate your perspective. Into a realistic language, and then we locate where those margins are from Real World. You go alone … too dangerous. “

I have n’t said anything clearly.

But my instinct tells me that this margin is probably from Fallen Apostles, even from … “The Lord”. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
