Room No. 305 had no windows and only the bathroom light was on.
In the darkness, Dr. Xisen and Child Li were sleeping soundly, breathing lightly.
Li Liang, who was sleeping with his clothes on, opened his eyes, licked his dry lips, turned over and sat up, and glanced at the electronic clock on the bedside.
23:30.
After sleeping for less than three hours, he had a confusing and long dream. It seemed that he was affected by Zero One and Two. He also dreamed of a scene where the sky was burning and corpses were everywhere.
After rubbing his face, he stood up and walked to the table. Using the light of the bathroom, he found an unopened bottle of pure water from a pile of packaging boxes and drink bottles.
In the evening, his communication with Zero One and Two did not last long. After agreeing on a time to enter Neuromansion, he returned to the room. Dr. Xisen asked about the result of the communication and learned that Zero One-Two had awakened his self-awareness but acted very calmly.
He was quite surprised, but the reason given by the doctor was reasonable, that is, "self-awareness" did not exist at all. These five bionic people were just higher-level artificial intelligence, and they were still the embodiment of Xi'an Technology's monopoly.
As for "No. 0" and his younger brother, he did not tell Dr. Xisen and K. It was unconfirmed and only increased anxiety.
After discussion, the three agreed that regardless of whether Zero One Two truly has self-awareness, he will not be a puppet of Zhuos, at least for now, trustworthy.
The hotel, known as the Black Crow, is safe for now.
Relaxation, hunger and tiredness set in, but the good news is that Uptown is, in a sense, paradise.
You only need to place an order at the Retina Projector to eat what you want, and it will be delivered by drone within a few minutes. There are tens of thousands of varieties to choose from, and you can also customize it. You can summon the androids at any time to provide whatever services you want. There are no restrictions on the number or functions.
Everyone was polite and "ordered" individually, especially Li, who ordered more than ten kinds of desserts and piled up a table.
After eating and drinking, and asking several female androids to help Cain bathe and change clothes, the "Moon Landing Team" could finally sleep peacefully and spend the first night on the moon.
After drinking the entire bottle of purified water, Li Liang walked quietly to Cain and touched her forehead.
Body temperature is normal.
He closed his eyes again. In his vision, the moon's spirit was as thin as the earth's. The magic talisman array located at the elbow of Cain's right arm had disappeared, but the disturbance to the spirit had not stopped.
No one knows when this "ticking time bomb" will explode.
Li Liang opened his eyes, looked at Cain who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and shook her hand.
Then, he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door gently.
In the corridor, K was leaning against the wall and smoking. He said casually: "You're awake." He handed over the cigarette case.
Li Liang took the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, tilted his head and lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said casually: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"I'm used to it," K smiled without wearing sunglasses and had sharp features. "Before, it was common to be hunted and not sleep for days and nights."
Li Liang shook his head and took out a box from his pocket as if remembering something: "By the way, hold this box for me."
"What is this?" K took the box, opened it and took a look.
"Spiritual core."
"Is this the spiritual core?" K took out the dusty spiritual core, rubbed it, and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.
Ordinary people obviously have no feeling, but to "Tianling", it is like standing next to the sun. Li Liang had to turn his head sideways, glared and waved his hands: "Hurry up and pretend."
K put the spirit core back and shook the box: "Why give it to me? Neuromancer is dangerous?"
"There shouldn't be any danger," Li Liang sniffed, "But the spiritual core is very valuable. If anything happens later, you must remember to keep it safe."
"Got it," K handed the box back.
"What?"
"You'd better take this thing with you first, it's so heavy."
Li Liang didn't answer and scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Okay," K lazily put the box in his pocket.
The corridor was bright and the two of them smoked in silence.
——————————
Ten minutes past three in the morning.
K still kept vigil outside the room.
Li Liang lay back on the bed and played with the neuromanipulation device provided by Zero One and Two.
The device looks a lot like a black rubber headband, about the thickness of a pinky finger, and is one-piece with no seams and no control buttons or power supply.
According to Dr. Xi'an, the Synapses network is a great invention covering more than ten disciplines. Many technologies are still monopolized by Xi'an to this day, including how this headband-like device is connected to humans. The sensory system of the brain.
Li Liang glanced at the time, adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position, and put the headband on his head.
In the darkness, a blue light spot began to flow in the headband.
Li Liang stared at the flickering roof, listening to the breathing of Dr. Xisen and Child Li, feeling very calm.
moment.
His eyes gradually became dark. At first, he thought it was because the light in the headband disappeared. He turned his head slightly, but found that the direction of the bathroom was also dark.
next moment.
The darkness faded away, the bed beneath him, the metallic smell in the air, and the sound of breathing in his ears all disappeared. Li Liang blinked and found himself suspended in a soft light.
As if being hit by a weak electric current, a numbness spread throughout his body, and then the ground appeared from below and touched the soles of his feet.
The moment the feeling of being down to earth appeared, the surroundings suddenly changed.
Walls rose from the ground, and fragments of wood, metal, and ceramics emerged from the void and assembled themselves. In a dazzling way, the chaotic fragments quickly formed an elegant study.
Li Liang came back to his senses, looked down, and found that he was right in the middle of the study, standing in front of a desk.
There was nothing else on the table except a retro black telephone.
At this time.
The bell rings.
Li Liang answered the phone, and a young woman's voice came from the receiver: "Master, I'm waiting for you downstairs."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Li Liang turned around and walked out of the study, looking around.
This is an old two-story villa with a spiral staircase leading to the first floor.
He went down the stairs, passed through the living room with a sofa and a record player, and was stunned for a moment when he opened the door.
Outside the door is a white desert, flat and endless.
A carriage was parked on one side, and it was pulled by two tall horses, kicking their hooves and snoring anxiously. The carriage was in an exaggerated shape, with a black body covered with gold lines and huge bells hanging from the four corners.
What the hell?
Li Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he walked out of the room and looked around.
It turns out that this villa was built alone in the sea of sand.
Sudden.
The door on the side of the carriage opened, and a woman in a pink dress jumped out and said with a smile: "Welcome to the Synapses network, master, I am Zero One Zero."
