Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 736 The Approaching Mystery

At the same moment when Chen Yan closed his eyes, the quantum clone opened his eyes in the online world.

The quantum avatar easily entered its own mobile phone, which is also the main body, and established a local area network link with Cyborg Quinn's mobile phone through his own mobile phone—the two mobile phones were synchronized through the radio waves generated by bioelectronic parts Link.

Through this link, the quantum clone entered Cyborg Quinn's cell phone.

From the perspective of the quantum clone, the interior of Cyborg Quinn's mobile phone looks like an old parts production workshop. There are red rust everywhere in the corners of the workshop and on the gears under the assembly line. The mechanical arm of the robot has been bent so that it cannot be used, and the steam ejected from the exhaust port is also weak, as if it will die at any time...

The integration level of the whole workshop is not high-this seems to correspond to: this old version of the mobile phone, the internal electronic structure is not highly integrated?
'Even though everything is very old, it still works... this guy really needs a new body. '

Chen Yan tried to call out:

[Cyborg Quinn?where are you? 】

The parts in all directions began to creak, and the voice of Cyborg Quinn appeared from every corner of the workshop:

【I'm here! 】

Chen Yan said:

[Now, you have to follow me—you have to follow my steps, control your consciousness, follow me—come on. 】

After he finished speaking, the quantum clone walked in the opposite direction.

When he passed the local area network link established by the radio waves between mobile phones, scattered data streams representing Cyborg Quinn appeared behind him-those data streams did not appear in human form, but scattered, Falls and separations can happen at any time.

When he entered his mobile phone, the scattered data behind him began to take shape, and there were no more 0s and 1s falling out of the fuzzy body composed of data.

When he entered the online world through his mobile phone, his vague body was almost completely formed. Except for the large mosaics on his body, this body was almost the same as the quantum clone that had just formed.

And the face of this body—that face was almost exactly the same as the one Chen Yan had seen in the ground before—at this moment, that face was opening its mouth wide, full of sluggishness and shock, looking around at the incredible network in front of it. world.

【Then, as you can see. 】

Chen Yan was standing not far in front of him. This was a street in the online world, and it was also a website in the public server network.

[We have come to the Internet. 】

Cyborg Quinn stared at everything in front of him in disbelief—trains full of technology that shuttled across the wide “network”, buildings that couldn’t see the top when looking up, and buildings that overlapped like countless mirages ...

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, there was a piercing sound in his ears.

Chen Yan followed the sound, and saw a police car, galloping from the "network" in front of him, and crashed into Cyborg Quinn!
The data of the formed police car is obviously threatening, because Chen Yan has seen such a data model before - in the attack of those hackers who killed his last quantum clone!
Chen Yan grabbed Cyborg Quinn, pulled it suddenly, and narrowly avoided the police car that hit him.

And this kind of evasion is almost useless. The program that constitutes the police car is obviously optimized by a certain programmer to be concise and efficient. As a result, after a few milliseconds, the police car has turned its head and hit Cyborg Quinn again. .

This time, Chen Yan did not dodge in a panic, but pulled Cyborg Quinn and plunged into it in the direction of the ground.

There was a flash of light in front of him, and Cyborg Quinn had appeared in a dark room that looked like a basement.

He stared blankly at the darkroom of the rough room without any furniture and decoration, and Chen Yan's voice came from his ear.

[Stay here and don't move, I'll be right back. 】

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he returned to the "side of the road" along the road he had just come from.

The police car just now had already left.

[Leaving... Judging from the structure, that thing should be an anti-virus software... But why does the anti-virus software recognize Cyborg Quinn as a virus? 】

[Cyborg Quinn is a data life born from a mobile phone—even an old-fashioned mobile phone has an Internet interface—because according to the situation in Yanan City, the lighthouse has completely replaced the signal base station, and the network has completely replaced the traditional The basis for wireless communication and mobile phones to realize communication functions is the Internet. 】

[Under this premise—according to normal circumstances, when Cyborg Quinn's mobile phone enters the network, it will definitely be assigned an IP address. 】

[But he did not enter the Internet under normal circumstances, he was pulled into the Internet by the quantum clone, which means that he does not have an IP address. 】

[An active program without an IP address...is usually considered a virus. 】

Chen Yan looked at the environment on the "big roadside". After checking the data exchange information of the surrounding buildings, he realized that this was a private company server for cloud data exchange.

【Cloud storage company... This kind of company is most afraid of viruses polluting the information database...】

Chen Yan walked back and forth around the "side of the main road". In retrospect, the place where he went offline last time was obviously a dark alley, how could it become the side of the main road?
[I forgot to look at the IP address around that dark alley when I was offline last time... Who is free to look at that stuff. 】

Chen Yan estimated in his heart that the address of the dark alley before was bought by this cloud storage company, which is why he was located on the side of the road when he went online this time.

[This situation is unavoidable... Who knows which dark alley will suddenly be acquired by a big company?It's like an idle domain name suddenly skyrocketing in value because it has the same name as a big company. 】

【Looks like you should be more careful when going online next time...】

Ever since the quantum avatar was wiped out by hackers last time, Chen Yan has become more cautious. The quantum avatar itself has no IP address. He originally thought that he could rely on the feature of "no IP address" to run rampant in the online world until the last time the quantum avatar was wiped out...

Chen Yan recalled that at that time, the methods used by the hackers who besieged him were also very magical. Their methods were concretized in the Internet, as if the "magic" and "curse" of the real world had been brought into the online world as they were. , there are fireballs and blizzards, there are DEBUFFs such as slowness and bleeding...

What's even more miraculous is that all these methods can act on him—a quantum clone that uses a data language different from any in the online world!
Now that Chen Yan is free, recalling the situation back then, a strange thought appeared in his heart:

If magic is the only thing that can eliminate magic, then the means used by those hackers who eliminated quantum clones at the beginning were not purely from the perspective of data, but some kind of...

Some kind of evil god's method? (a bit of information comes from chapter 686 near the end)
Chen Yan didn't quite understand, and he didn't expect to meet those guys again.

Last time, because he wanted to protect the server data of the strike simulator, he was gradually dragged in the battle with those guys, so that in the end he was blocked from all escape routes, had no way to escape, and died on the spot. (Chapter 666)
The opponent won by the number of people and the attack method he had never seen before. Although they were all distributed denial of service attacks, some data that he could not eliminate were mixed in the attack. Those inexplicable data caused the quantum clone to end up in the strike simulator forum The culprit of demise.

But this does not mean that they are better than him, if it happens again, he has no worries, and he will not know until after a contest.

After clarifying everything, Chen Yan walked towards the hut where Cyborg Quinn was just stranded.

……

……

a few seconds ago.

Seeing Chen Yan disappear in place in a flash, Cyborg Quinn had another idea.

He looked at the small door of the dark room, stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand and opened the door.

He walked out the door and looked towards the corridor, the scene in front of him made his mind go blank——

An endless corridor exists outside the room where he is. On both sides of the corridor, there are densely packed doors that can't be seen at a glance. Every door is exactly the same, and every section of the corridor is exactly the same. There is no gap between the doors. There is no slight difference, the paths in front of us are endless...

Looking at this incomprehensible scene, he felt a great sense of shock and fear in his heart.

He wanted to go back to the dark room, but when he turned around, he found that the door of the dark room behind him had been closed at some point!

There was a "hum" in Cyborg Quinn's head, and he was surrounded by a huge sense of fear, and because of this fear, he ran in the corridor.

While running, he heard voices coming from every door. Most of those voices could not be understood by him. Those voices interfered with his thinking and invaded his brain. It reverberated in his head, like the strings of countless organs playing in his head at the same time...

In desperation, he suddenly heard a voice like the sound of heaven.

【Why the hell did you come out by yourself. 】

He tried to open his eyes, only to see Chen Yan standing in front of him.

He had never felt that Chen Yan was so kind.

Chen Yan grabbed his wrist, looked around for a few seconds, pulled him forward a few steps, and then slammed into a certain room.

After his eyes flickered, Cyborg Quinn opened his eyes.

The fear disappeared, even though the dark room in front of him was no different from the previous room.

[This is an encrypted chat room, we should not be discovered by anti-virus software anymore. 】

Chen Yan didn't seem to care about his "betrayal" just now, which made his inner fear a lot less.

Cyborg Quinn is also a person who has seen the "big world". Everyone has more contact with ghosts than ordinary superhumans in a lifetime. The great fear just aroused is entirely due to seeing too much "unknown knowledge" , now in a safe environment, the fear caused by the unknown disappeared, and he gradually calmed down, regaining his former firm and steady mind.

[You just said... what is here? 】

Cyborg Quinn seems to know little about the online world—the online world is a new thing for these geniuses, and Cyborg Quinn was busy with work before that, even if he had been in contact with it before, he didn’t know much about it— Coupled with the shock caused by the concrete network world, even if he knows something about the network, now after seeing the concrete world in front of him, he can't get it right for a while.

Chen Yan answered him, the communication between data life will not take much time.

[This is an encrypted chat room. It is on the server of a company specializing in encrypted communication. This server is temporarily independent, and it is not connected to any miscellaneous local area network, so it is very safe. 】

Data exchange between two data beings takes place within a few milliseconds.

[The police car just now... You said it was anti-virus software?But I am not a virus! 】

[Let me make it clear that you were attacked by anti-virus software just now because of me—because I brought you into the Internet in an unconventional way, so you do not have an IP address and will be recognized as a virus by any anti-virus software . 】

【…】

[Cyborg, I figured out something from this. 】

【Um? 】

[I shut you down and prevent you from connecting to the Internet. These things are wrong. 】

【? ? ? 】

[In the future, you need to access the Internet by yourself—through yourself, through your mobile phone, linking to the lighthouse, and entering the network, so that you will have an IP address, and you will be as safe as thousands of Internet users. 】

【What the hell are you thinking! 】

[In this way, I will take you offline now and find the nearest lighthouse signal. After you go online, I will find you and take you to Byron Weiss' archives. 】

[You have a ghost!I'm not going! 】

[You see, if you can’t have an IP address, you will always be identified as a virus. The firewall of a high-tech company like Byron Weiss Group is thicker than the city wall of Yanan City during the war era, and their anti-virus software is stronger than ten A North Bureau—no, more powerful than the ten Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biological Investigation put together, even if you can get inside the firewall, how can you survive under such anti-virus software? 】

[When I have an IP address, you will find an excuse to say that I already have an IP, so I can only access Byron Weiss Group with normal user access rights-only their external URLs can be viewed!Don't even think about entering the door of the archives! 】

【...You know a lot. 】

【Ha ha……】

[Actually, I didn't think about it that much, but now I suddenly realize that you are different from me, and I can't take you in for the time being. 】

The communication between the two paused for a minute.

An important difference between data life and pure data programs is that they cannot think at the speed at which programs process data.

They may be able to communicate at the speed of data transmission, but when they encounter a difficult problem, they can only slow down time and give time to think.

【so. 】

Chen Yan sent out an idea.

【I'll go to the archives of the Byron Weiss Group to find what you want... the design drawings of the Brain Robot, or the storage location of the Brain Robot, and then come back and tell you, how about it? 】

Another moment of silence.

[I don't need these. 】

【kindness? 】

This is different from what Cyborg Quinn said to Chen Yan before - he clearly said before that he just wanted a "Biomass Burner" and a body of a brain-machine man - capable of transferring consciousness Burned into the body. (Chapter 539)
This old boy really hid his hand.

[What I need...is information about a brain-machine. 】

Cyborg Quinn continued.

[Magpie—his code name is Magpie, and he should be running an underground medical center called "Drugstore" in Yanan City. I hope you can find information about him. 】

Chen Yan was very surprised:
【Didn't you say before that this magpie is a member of the Mechanical Ascension Secret Society?Why is his file in the archives of the Byron Weiss Group? 】
