Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

"Ogami..."

"The power of [Immortality], using the symbol of [Immortality], cut open the space... That must be the real place of [Immortality]."

"I'll find a way to contact him."

"Well, don't worry, don't worry, I have a solution."

"I will ask Swam to pick you up... please be sure to have a good rest!"

"Good night……"

Chen Yan hung up the phone and couldn't turn his head.

He didn't think too much. He first called Swom and asked Swom to take the Nuomi Guo back to the ship to rest. Then he quickly returned to the fast food restaurant, signed a contract with three classmates, and thanked each other. After that, he and Kos Chiranfor and Clapeter left the fast food restaurant together.

"Is there something urgent?" Koschilanfur Krapeter asked with concern and 'I might be able to help'.

"It's a very difficult matter to solve. I don't want to involve you." Chen Yan explained, and the certainty in his tone made Kos give up the idea of ​​questioning.

It was getting late, so Kos returned to his residence for the time being, while Chen Yan returned to the Z Group chairman's office.

He turned on the computer and looked at the daily accounts receivable and settlement bills collected and integrated by [Turing] on the screen. The daily net profit of five zeros and above had made him numb, and money had become a simple and unattractive thing. Any emotional number.

This feeling is much more boring than imagined.

He had already thought about Ogami's whereabouts, so he opened the [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] software and decided to use the software to send the quantum clone to Ogami's location.

This time, when he opened the software, the message "New version detected, do you want to upgrade?" popped up. 】 tips.

Damn it, is this thing actually connected to the Internet? !

Chen Yan had cold sweat running down his forehead at that time. This software is connected to the Internet, which means that there must be a backdoor left by the developer inside the software. If the developer can modify the software at will, the consequences will all be borne by him as the user. bear.

Chen Yan was very cautious, so he stopped using the software and used a quantum clone to trace the IP address of the software's network.

The quantum clone jumped into the sea of ​​​​data on the Internet. In a moment, it had broken through several gateways and entered the server terminal starting with 0.

Chen Yan headed towards a hardware device with a physical address, and later obtained the right to use the device.

When the camera turned on, he saw the face of the person sitting at the table:
This man is probably in his early 40s, and his face has the typical features of the Empire's native Ruk people. He has slightly flat blond hair, and the blue eyes under the golden eyebrows are slightly light gray, with delicate and deep eye sockets. Dotted with some freckles, it seems that this face is not so perfect.

When Chen Yan looked at him, those blue-gray eyes also looked at Chen Yan - the man discovered Chen Yan's presence in the camera.

"hello!"

He greeted Chen Yan warmly, as if he was not angry at all because Chen Yan hacked into the computer.

"Hello……"

Chen Yan's voice came from the speaker on the screen.

"You must be Professor Wright."

Victor Michel Wright, the creator of the concept of lucid dreaming, dean of the School of Bioelectronics at the Imperial State University, professor of the [-]th class for life, and the creator of the [Bioelectrical Signal Transceiver Chip],
Now that the Choir is in charge of the empire, this name can also be called [Victor, Archangel, Light] - within the Choir, such a name represents the supreme glory.

"I'm really sorry that it took you so long to help me test the software."

Although the man has held a high position for many years, he has no airs about his words and is even a little shy.

Chen Yan still couldn't restrain his anger:

"Is your software... always a beta version?"

Professor Wright looked very serious, as if this could hide the fact that his software was only an internal beta version:

"The basic framework of the software has been perfected. You have entered a deeper world through the software, right?"

Yes……

"Moreover, during the entire process of using the software, you were not harmed, nor were you transported to any strange place."

What the hell...are you saying that these things are potential risks when using [Lucid Dreaming 2.0]? !
Chen Yan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Professor Lauye is also outrageous. Does he know that [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] is a beta version? !Just give it to me directly? !

Chen Yan's blood pressure rose for a moment, but he couldn't choose to condemn him.

Professor Wright continued:

"The version I handed them over was the version I had already experimented with. There would be no problems with the code. Even the entire 2.0 iteration only upgraded the stability and did not add new features."

"You must be here for the new upgrade."

Chen Yan discovered that what Professor Wright said was obviously very ordinary, but he just couldn't get in the conversation.

"I have gained a new understanding of the world during this period, so I upgraded to version 3.0. I should have put the version upgrade summary on the upgrade page, but my graduate student went to the Starlink Pioneer Group and no one wrote code anymore. …I’m really sorry.”

This is barely a...reasonable reason.

"Now, please let me explain to you the upgrade summary of version 3.0."

He obviously spoke in a leisurely manner, but the content of his words did not diminish at all.

“The first important upgrade of Lucid Dreaming version 3.0 is the dimensional index for determining [coordinates].

In the past version, the coordinates only had a single input box, and the identity information that could be entered was also vague, such as [Who], [Where are you coming from], [Where are you going], [What are you doing], etc. , users use these criteria to locate the target. Although the target can be found, it is actually inefficient and can easily fail to produce results.

In the latest version 3.0, I optimized the coordinate code and clearly divided it into three dimensions - [Who am I], [Where do I come from], and [Where should I go].In my investigation and research, these three indicators are the most important interpretation of a person, and they are also the reason and most accurate coordinates for a person to exist in this world. "

Professor Wright used several long proper nouns. Chen Yan almost didn't understand them, so he roughly understood what he meant by guessing.

“The second important upgrade of Lucid Dreaming version 3.0 is a test function - [Data Penetration].

This function allows users to penetrate possible barriers when determining target coordinates - firewalls, gateways, or physical barriers. In theory, they can all be penetrated. "

Chen Yan's spirit suddenly cheered up:

"What about Boson blockade?"

Professor Wright obviously did not expect this question. He frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed:

"Quantum mechanics is another field. In theory, my code can do it, but it depends on the actual situation."

Chen Yan was a little irritable:

"It just depends on luck!"

Professor Wright did not explain this question, but said:
“I will study this and put the function [Breaking through Boson Blockade] in the software upgrade of version 4.0.”

It's the same as not saying it.

Chen Yan was a little discouraged, but he still had some hope in his heart, so he no longer questioned it.

There is a note of concern mixed in Professor Wright's words:

"No matter what, as long as there is a problem, there will always be a solution. It's just a matter of time. I have enough energy to iterate on the [Lucid Dreaming] software, so as far as this issue is concerned, you can rest assured."

Another promise that sounds reliable but doesn't make sense if you wait.

"Thank you……"

Faced with such a promise, Chen Yan could only thank him in advance, because the other party actually had no need to give such a promise - he was using other people's software, wasting the results of other people's labor, and was not satisfied with them, and asked questions again Making demands again - these practices cannot be justified in theory.

Chen Yan was angry because he was actually being treated as a guinea pig, but the fact that he was being treated as a guinea pig was not caused by Professor Wright. Professor Wright must have explained the problem when he handed over lucid dreaming to Professor Lawyer. I also had some notes on the use of the software, but the latter did not explain it when it was handed over to Chen Yan.

Professor Lauye had no intention of harming Chen Yan. He just trusted Professor Wright and did not question the software. And because he did not question the software, when Chen Yan was in need, he maintained goodwill. Under the circumstances, the software was transferred to Chen Yan.

Although this account can be written down, it cannot be calculated clearly, because no one is right. If you insist on saying that it is wrong, it is because Professor Lauye was too naive and did not tell Chen Yan the precautions - but Professor Lauyer The intention itself is good.

Good intentions are not to be blamed.

——Chen Yan thinks so.

After thanking Professor Wright once again, he said goodbye, shuttled back to his office on the island chain through the network, clicked the [OK] button on the software upgrade page, and after a short wait, entered the new [Lucid Dreaming 3.0] through the quantum clone. 】Enter the coordinates of Ogami into the software (who is this person, where does this person come from, and where should this person go)——

[His name is Ogami. He is a ninja. He has an intelligent prosthetic hand and has the power to cut off the immortal. He has two swords, one is named Wedge Maru and the other is named Bailei. 】

[He comes from a snowy place called Ashina in Sakura Country, from the other side of the ocean, and from an obsession countless years ago. 】

[He embarked on a difficult path to cut off immortality and is still practicing asceticism on the way to this day. He opened a passage by using the power of immortality and symbols of immortality. 】

After inputting these very vague contents, Chen Yan controlled the quantum clone and pressed the run button with great anxiety.

The next moment, his vision was shuttled - it seemed to be successful!

He didn't feel happy immediately, but after waiting nervously for a long time, he relaxed a little until he got the vision.

A new vision appeared in front of him. It was a field of neon lights lurking in the darkness. Chen Yan looked carefully and saw that the neon lights were not strong. They were only dispersed due to heavy rain. The streets inside the neon lights looked very bright. Rundown, but bustling with pedestrians - it looks like a city.

Chen Yan moved his vision, and when he saw the familiar darkness not far away, his expression turned bad.

What city is here?It's obviously the block located in the BIOS!

Ogami has entered the BIOS!
Chen Yan was indescribably excited for a moment. If Nuomi Guo could use the sword to help Ogami enter the BIOS, he could also help him enter the BIOS, and then he could help Wish!

Chen Yan's blood pressure rose due to excitement, and he almost couldn't maintain a lucid dream, and even his vision was disrupted.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and stabilized his emotions.

Although Ogami was standing in the heavy rain, he was not just standing there. Chen Yan saw that the signal module on his omnic prosthetic hand was flashing, as if it was undergoing a software upgrade.

'Ogami seems to have discovered a higher software version after connecting to the network in the BIOS?But the Internet here is full of viruses, and the software upgrade package he downloaded from the Internet... is probably not safe. '

Ogami stood motionless in the rainy night, like a sculpture. Chen Yan was anxious and looked around, suddenly realizing that this place seemed different from the BIOS neighborhood he had seen before——

The periphery of the previous block was almost entirely covered in ruins. The ruins looked no different from garbage dumps. However, the periphery of the block in front of us was not ruins, but tall black buildings!
Only then did Chen Yan see that the neon lights he saw were dreamlike and dreamlike, precisely because the light reflected from the black tall buildings was diffused by the dense raindrops.

'Black... tall building with glass exterior... I seem to have been here before!Isn’t this where Professor Lauye and I used to use the machine card bug? '(Chapter 949 The World's BIOS)

Chen Yan suddenly realized that the scene in front of him had almost the same characteristics as the BIOS scene simulated by Professor Royer using the machine card bug on the ship!
Then, this shouldn't be where the wish is, but... it's probably the [inside the company] that the wish once mentioned!
'Even inside the company, it looks very depressed and depressing...'

What is the difference between inside the company and outside the company?Is it just that there are no zombies in the neighborhood?
Chen Yan looked at Ogami who had not moved, and the anxiety in his heart dissipated a little.

'If Ogami is connected to the company's internal network, then the magnitude of the virus should not be so outrageous. Otherwise, how can the company continue to operate? '

'Speaking of which, where did he find the upgrade package?This thing is completely customized by me. Even the software uses the original version of the military brain robot. Even if you can find a suitable upgrade package in this world, there will always be bugs if it is not suitable...'

Chen Yan could only guess but not be sure. Ogami stood motionless. He didn't know when the upgrade of the omnic prosthetic hand would end. Chen Yan couldn't convey information to him through lucid dreaming, so he felt very uncomfortable.

'Lucid dreaming...Miao Shuisheng has been using lucid dreaming for so long, and he has been able to make his [identification carrier] in the BIOS hear his own voice. I...do I want to ask him for advice on how to convey his voice...'
