Chapter 1004： Parsing (1/2)

The breeze blew across the vast and boundless green earth, and the wind echoed with a whisper that human ears could not recognize. Even though the real world outside is already full of snow and ice, in this neural network rooted in the spiritual world, the bright spring is still Stop for a long time between the plain and the valley.

In the center of the endless "Plain of Mind", next to several undulating hills, a huge city is standing quietly, and the sky above the city is covered with a pale golden ring-shaped giant array composed of countless rapidly refreshing runes. Between the city and the giant structure, there are several golden light streams that run through the sky and the earth-those light streams represent several information hubs that are connected to the real world. The ends of each light stream are connected to the city. A large building, and these buildings are the transit point for the "residents" in the city of dreams to enter and exit the city.

The central area of ​​the city corresponds to the position of the royal district of Cecil City in the real world. A large-scale light flow connects the pyramid facilities on the surface. At this moment, the light flow above the facilities trembles slightly. Somewhere in the square next to the pyramid, a figure Then suddenly emerged from the air.

This is a middle-aged man with a monocle and gentle temperament.

Yuri woke up from the momentary dizziness of connecting to the Internet, and moved his neck slightly-of course there was nothing behind his neck, but the "neural reverberation" remaining when lying in the immersion cabin and touching those cold metal contacts was still Wandering in his perception. He looked around at the people coming and going on the square, and then walked towards a figure not far away waiting for him, and as the "neural reverberation" in his mind gradually receded, he raised his hand and hit the figure. Greeting: "Magnum!"

"I've been waiting for you for a century!" Magnum's loud voice exploded in Yuri's ear the next moment, and the latter even suspected that this voice could be heard by people in half a square, "What are you in the real world? Things got caught up?"

Yuri rubbed his ears subconsciously, and looked at the old partner standing in front with a slight dissatisfaction: "You really have been away from the real world for too long, and you forget how many troublesome things in reality will delay a person's time planning. Huh? It’s not a convenient neural network everywhere, it takes time to do anything..."

Magnum showed impatience when he heard half of it, and waved his hands to interrupt Yuri's words: "Okay, I understand. I understand. When I turn around, I will ask Pittman to find out. I know he has a special effect on constipation. medicine……"

Yuri was stunned at first, and in the next second he almost completely lost the gentle and elegant demeanor that he had worked hard to maintain on weekdays: "Damn it! I'm not talking about this!"

Magnum waved his hands indifferently: "I understand, I understand, I was just like you in my middle age... Okay, well, I won't say anything."

This loud voice ended the topic accurately before the anger of the old partner was picked up to the threshold. Yuri, who had maintained a gentlemanly demeanor in front of all the students and researchers on weekdays, blushed but had nothing to do. I was able to stare at Magnum for a long time before taking away his gaze with annoyance: "Open the passage-I am not here to fight with you."

Magnum shrugged, waved his hand in mid-air, and said to the air: "Duvalt-here we are."

Invisible ripples suddenly fluctuate. In the seemingly calm and continuous mental space, a "habitat" hidden at the bottom of the data is silently opened, and a short and secret passage appears in this dream city, Magnum and Layers of halo appeared around Yuri, and then the two of them disappeared instantly as if they were "deleted" by something.

In the next second, they already appeared in another space: a grassland that was equally vast and boundless, but more empty than the "upper level", appeared in front of the two of them. The grassland was shrouded in the night, and the sky was full of stars. The night was not dark at all, and a small hill stood quietly not far away. The hill was shrouded with a slight halo, as if all the stars were focused on it, and a huge white spider. He lay quietly at the foot of the hill, seeming to be resting.

Here is the deeper space of the neural network, the "computing layer" under the "appearance layer" and the "interaction layer". All network data is exchanged frequently and at a high speed in the most primitive state here. This exchange and calculation process is essentially carried out almost entirely by the human brain, but the human mind cannot directly understand this place, so everything presented here-including the grassland under the night and the sky full of stars-are all It is just an interface created by the managers of this space for the convenience of entertaining "visitors".

For Magnum and Yuri, the former priests of the Immortal, this space has another meaning: it is the habitat of the upper narrator of the "God of the Past", used by Naritil and Duvalt. In the place where the body is "stored".

Yuri and Magnum looked at each other, and both of them could see a little emotion in each other's eyes. The latter looked up at the starry night sky, and couldn't help but shook his head and muttered: "The location of these stars now It's all the same as the real world."

"After the technology upgrade, the observatories in various places have reserved a special line for Narettier. She can watch the starry sky through the equipment of the observatory at any time-this is what His Majesty promised at the time," Magnum said as soon as he said. It came from the side that Duvalt, wearing a black dress and carrying a lantern, appeared out of nowhere, "The starry sky you see now is the starry sky that Narettier has seen from various observatories in the Empire. Recently, she is trying to record the trajectory of each star, from which to calculate the position of our planet in the universe...at least the position between these stars."

Magnum blinked. "...This sounds like a great thing."

"Your Majesty said the same," Duvalte smiled and nodded. Then he took the two visitors and took a step forward, and in an instant he came to the huge white spider. "Naritir was worried at first. She will be blamed for occupying free computing power for this, but her Majesty clearly supports her in doing so, and even arranged a group of astrologers to participate. Of course, we are not here to talk about this today."

While talking, he raised his arm slightly and pointed to the clearing not far away. Magnum and Yuri looked over there, and at first glance they saw something like a cocoon being fixed by a large number of spider silks. On the ground, the "cocoon" was as tall as a person, with a translucent shell, and something faintly seemed to be enclosed in it. Naritil's "human form" was going around it in circles. , Seems to be communicating with the things in the cocoon.

Yuri looked a little surprised: "Naritil can communicate with the captured ‘fragment’?"

Duvalt shook his head: "Just keep asking unilaterally-Naritier is trying to dig out more secrets from that mental fragment, but I don't think her method works."

Yuri and Magnum looked at each other and walked towards the place where "Cocoon" is. Just halfway through, they heard Narettier's endless questioning-the upper narrator circled "Cocoon". Walk around, walk a few steps and then stop and ask: "Where did you come from?

"The God of War you believe in, how many legs does he have?

"You become like this, does the God of War know? Did He change it for you? How did it change?
