Jiang Zhou called up Liao Qi's previous records - because there had been a connection before, the records before his mental index fell into the mental uncanny valley were synchronized to Jiang Zhou's consciousness in an instant.
That is a hundred times more real experience than a real simulator movie.
It only took a moment, Jiang Zhou clenched his fists unconsciously.
Unspeakable anger and sadness spread into his heart.
Even though the connection was disconnected, he was still a part of himself during that time.
No... Even if it had never been a part of me, people like Liao Qi should not end up like this.
He didn't do anything wrong, and neither did his mother or father.
They shouldn't be like this, the world shouldn't be like this.
[Warning: This controllable element is already in a state of high mental pollution. Once connected, it may have an unpredictable impact on your mental index]
Perhaps in order to dissuade Jiang Zhou from doing this, the system also popped up Liao Qi's hopeless situation at the moment.
But ignoring these warnings, Jiang Zhou closed the window and planned to re-establish indirect relationships with Liao Qi, who had shown a "high risk".
Even if I connect with him, I can't do anything - whether it's forcing the company to compromise, or escaping from the hands of the Depth 7 adjuster and killing all the remaining members of the Wolfsbane unit.
At this moment, Liao Qi's adjustment depth and prosthetic state were impossible to achieve.
But at the very least, he wanted to witness it until the very end.
Witness until the moment Icarus falls.
However, just when Jiang Zhou was about to complete the connection, a familiar voice echoed behind him.
"It's always been a warning, didn't you hear it?"
Hearing that voice, Jiang Zhou turned around in surprise.
"How...are you able to be here?"
This is the space where he activates the Janus system. No one should be able to come here except Jiang Zhou himself and the connected "controllable elements".
but why……
"Because I can also be your controllable factor and stay connected with you... Rather, as a controllable factor, there should be no one in the world who is easier to synchronize with than me."
Hecate appeared behind him. Compared with the indifferent expression when Jiang Zhou saw her for the first time, her face now had a somewhat melancholy temperament for some reason.
"Wait a minute, you mean..."
Jiang Zhou vaguely guessed what the other party meant, and it was difficult for Jiang Zhou to accept the reality for a while.
He pointed at the perfect female figure in front of him, who was as perfect as a marble sculpture, and was speechless.
"The body you printed earlier was transformed by me into what you see now."
Hecate nodded readily and admitted.
Jiang Zhou opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Hecate looked past Jiang Zhou and looked at Liao Qi, who was flashing a dazzling red light, and then said:
"His time is running out, and so is mine. So to make a long story short, you have two choices before you. First, I give you this body back and your mind in Tartarus. The model is copied into this body, and then your body in Tartarus is destroyed. And after that, it will help you complete the adjustments and transformations of Path of Theseus Depth 3.
"After all, this is what belongs to you, and your destiny. I shouldn't get too involved in His legacy. But if this is the case, then the fate between us will end here, and I will choose others. way to continue completing your project.”
Jiang Zhou originally wanted to say something, but seeing the extremely serious look in his eyes, he finally chose to keep his mouth shut.
He made a "please go ahead" gesture.
"Or, you can hand this body to me, and then connect me to your network as your 'controllable element'. To prevent misunderstandings, I will not ask for any control authority from you, and of course I will not Giving my authority to you - I will do nothing but use it to experience more human emotions. As for you, you will continue to use the body inside Tartarus, in Pluto Deep Under the eyes of the directors of the potential company, continue what you are destined to do."
In other words, although it would cost him his gender, the opportunity to escape from Tartarus was right in front of him.
And as long as there is a multi-purpose printer, it is not impossible to change yourself back... right?
But no matter what, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime escape opportunity.
"Then... what about other than that?"
Jiang Zhou did not directly state his choice. He looked at Hecate and slowly asked:
"The second option, there should be some interest, right?"
In mythology, Hecate, the goddess of the moon and the moon, is always associated with words such as mystery, silence, and darkness. As a Titan who once helped Zeus defeat the Cyclops, a great goddess who is respected in the sky, earth and ocean, it seems that there should not be any intense emotions in her body.
However, after Jiang Zhou asked this question, Hecate's face showed an extremely cold smile - at this moment, she no longer looked like a magical goddess in charge of secret witchcraft, but more like a A Valkyrie who gallops on the battlefield, using sword and shield to bring herself honor and victory.
"Previously, Liao Qi sacrificed his hatred and anger to me, hoping to give himself a chance to burn again."
Hecate said with a cold smile:
"Then just this once, I will lend you my power so that Icarus, which has fallen, can restart again."
Jiang Zhou took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down his emotions, and finally said in a voice that was trembling with excitement:
"make a deal."
…………
Time returns to the present.
The feathers and branches floating on the sea are now beginning to be reassembled.
Although No. 1 didn't know why Liao Qi, whose human mind should have been completely dissipated, suddenly appeared to have reason. But this does not affect the fact that the other party is powerless to deal with the current situation.
A broken, weak, and exhausted Icarus Path Depth 4 Adjuster has no ability to resist in the current battlefield.
The power of the confinement stance was increased, and Liao Qi, who seemed to have regained his sanity, was sealed in it again. No. 1 focused more on Christie, whose body was constantly overloaded by the virus.
After all, the other party was a veteran adjuster who had fought against the leader of the Fire Thieves. Even though it was no longer her era, she should be more careful.
"The whole point of you now is to come back with me so we can dig something out of your scrapped brain."
While controlling the drone to change its formation, Number One replied casually.
"I don't understand something..."
He had obviously increased the power of his confinement stance before, but for some reason the voice of "Liao Qi" still echoed in his ears.
When No. 1 heard these words, he immediately turned the camera and looked at the other party.
At this moment, the restrictive stance is slowly fading away like water stains under the scorching sun.
And "Liao Qi" tilted his head and looked at himself inside.
How can it be? I had already scanned it before, and there was no prosthetic equipment on the other party that could interfere with the confinement position.
"A thing like you can actually be Booker's boss?"
"What on earth did you do..."
No. 1 asked while planning to transform the "Aegis" module into a physical confinement device to lock up the opponent.
But there was no response at all to the orders he issued to the Aegis module - the prosthetic bodies that should have been as easy to command as arms and fingers were all out of control at that moment.
Have you been hacked without knowing it? Or by a depth 4 cyberpsycho?
Although this conjecture was too absurd, No. 1's tempered tactical skills allowed him to launch his own temporary network domain in the first time.
He planned to use ice walls to block all possible hacking channels the other party had.
Just before he entered his temporary network domain, his access command was hijacked by something.
The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and when he realized it, No. 1 found himself in a fragmented city.
There was a thick fog surrounding him, and in the fog, black dogs and ghosts appeared from time to time.
In front of him, an equally fragmented person made up of countless broken color blocks was looking down at him.
And Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, stood beside Him like a maid.
"paradox……"
Number One said with difficulty.
But the other party just looked at him, then made a silent gesture and said:
"Don't be anxious yet, wait until everyone is here."
Everyone is here?
What's the meaning?
Number 1's doubts were quickly answered.
The next moment, three people with bite marks all over their bodies were thrown out of the thick fog.
That was the last remaining member of Wolfsbane's force.
