The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Tuoke kept talking all the way, and I don’t know if it was because of the overload of the artificial muscles. This guy’s movements when running were very awkward, like a gorilla that couldn’t find the toilet and was holding back its urine, running very fast with its legs crossed.

"You can hack into the company's armed system. We really underestimate you!"

"It's a trivial matter." Chen Jing replied with a smile, "I have worked with others to do work against large companies several times before, and I am quite familiar with their armed systems. These money-minded guys are just eating the leftovers of the research association. There are so many backdoors in the system that it’s not difficult to hack into them.”

A money-seeking guy?

Hearing this evaluation of company employees, Canary couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to himself that you are not much better. In terms of money-seeking, you are no different from a company dog!

Of course, that's what he said, but Canary is still very grateful to Chen Jing. After all, without his help, the three of them would probably be in trouble here... paying their lives for a stolen sports car?

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Hanging City, but it is definitely a humiliating way to die.

Not honorable, not glorious.

If he really ends up like this, it would be a shame for a mercenary.

"Tuoke, let's not go back yet."

"Not going back?"

Hearing Canary's words, Tuoke paused slightly.

"Has the action plan changed?"

Canary hummed expressionlessly, then took a deep look at Chen Jing.

"We'll take him to see him for a long time."

Chapter 754: The True Immortal in the Shack (Part 2)

At an intersection not far from the overpass, Tuoke "smoothed" a civilian car in a very authentic way. Although the door was forcibly broken by him and almost fell apart, he did not feel that this "smooth" method was violent at all. , but full of artistry.

"Bai Long, do you understand the aesthetics of violence?"

When Tuoke was driving, he squeezed the steering wheel and deformed it with just a little force. Apparently, the sequelae of artificial muscle overload were still affecting him.

"Although this method of riding has no technical content, at least it is artistic. I don't look down on the kind of hackers who use master keys to steal cars... Hey, I'm not talking about you!"

Chen Jing didn't care about Tuoke's unintentional ridicule, but was very curious about the "shack" Canary had mentioned before.

Three minutes ago.

That's when Canary said she wanted to take Chen Jing to have a long experience...

"Where should we take him to learn more? Kabukicho or a red hair salon? It's meaningless for me to say that!" Tuoke's first reaction at that time was that he was thinking wrongly, and there was no reliable word in his mouth, "When I get home, I'll take him to the Internet to 'go to the gods' together, and let him learn from those AIs that just sit on the ground and suck the dirt!"

With that said, Tuoke took the time to look back at Chen Jing.

"Brother! You think so too, right? False emotions maintained by money and those vulgar bodies are not as soul-touching as digital bodies! Only those AIs fed by experience can understand you! We..."

"You're fucking done, aren't you?!" Canary couldn't stand hearing it anymore, and went up and slapped Tuoke on the back of the head, "You really don't treat me like a woman anymore?! Are you going to die if you speak pornographically in front of me? !”

"..."

"Fuck Kabukicho! Go to the shack!"

"...Is there a lady over there at the shack?" Tuoke still didn't react. The muscles in his body continued to contract. It was obvious that the previous high-power overload had caused some abnormalities in his brain and computer. "Isn't there a shack? How many times should I go to that damn place?" I haven’t seen it before...have you seen it?”

"What I'm saying is... let him go to the shack to worship the 'true immortal'!" Canary gritted her teeth in anger, but she also knew that Tuoke's state was not quite right, and she was completely offended by such a person who was full of yellow waste. It’s not necessary, “If you tell me again about what is available and what is not, I will file a report and complain to the superiors!”

Closer to home.

After getting on the car that came along, Tuoke followed the pre-planned route and drove all the way to the slums in the north.

"What is the 'shack' you are talking about?" Chen Jing couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, but the person he was asking was not Tuo Ke, the easy-to-talk guy, but the cold-faced Canary on the side. After all, communicating with normal people is still It's easier, at least you won't be led in an illegal direction.

"You'll know when you get there." Canary leaned against the car window and answered Chen Jing's question expressionlessly.

"What is the 'true immortal' you just talked about?" Chen Jing changed the subject. Seeing that he couldn't figure out the origin of the shack, he turned to another puzzling word, "Is it a person or an object? It can't be downlink from the Internet. AI, right?”

"AI?" Canary looked back at him, "From a certain perspective, you can understand it."

"Is it really true??" Chen Jing was stunned, "Is it the Yin Ling evil spirit? Or the Immortal Family of the five major families? Isn't it the backup of those 'spiritual AI' leaked from the research association?"

After hearing Chen Jing's series of questions, Canary still didn't answer directly, and still used those words to deal with it.

"You'll know once you go there."

……

Three hours later.

The broken car driven by Tuoke has entered the slums in the north.

"I'm so lucky to have you today! My best brother!" Tuoke's crazy energy has begun to fade away, but his habit of talking too much has not changed. Counting this time, he has already thanked Chen Jing three hundred times. Twenty-one times.

"Yeah." Chen Jing didn't even have the energy to deal with it. He just wanted to find earplugs to block his ears so as not to listen to this stupid guy's constant chatter.

"Actually, it's a big loss for our lives. The company wanted to catch us alive, so those two losers didn't kill us directly. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had time to save us."

As he said that, Tuoke had begun to slowly reduce his speed. After all, the width of this old street in the slums was limited, and there were many adults and children crossing the road. If the accelerator was too high, it would be easy to hit him accidentally.

"what do you think?"

"How about what?"

Chen Jing was also confused when he heard Canary's abrupt question.

"The people here." Canary turned her head and looked out the window. "Are they different from those in the main city?"

"It's okay...but I don't have much fighting ability...I'm just an ordinary person..."

When Chen Jinggang gave this answer, in the blink of an eye, he saw several children chasing and playing happily on the roadside, while not far away, there were several old people sitting on the bench in a daze.

The neural pipeline used to rent computing power extends from the "concentrator" on the wall, and the port connected to the spiritual orifice is floating in the air, and no one pays attention to it.

At this moment, Chen Jing realized something was wrong.

Not to mention those main urban areas that look glamorous but are actually lifeless, even several other "self-destructive" slums cannot reveal so much fireworks... For example, the slum where Bailong lived before.

Common people lying on the roadside renting computing power can be seen everywhere on the street, and most of the passers-by look lifeless. They are like mechanical parts of the city, adhering to their responsibilities for the city day and night, thus Slowly getting rid of the "human smell" on my body.

No matter adults, children, or old people who have seen through the world.

Everyone lives for the sake of living, and there is no expectation for the future in their gray and turbid eyes.

But this slum is different...

Children were chasing each other and laughing happily on the street. There were old people sitting and chatting in the streets and alleys. Those computing power rental machines used to "collect social value" were left alone, with no one paying attention to them.

"The people here are more like humans." Chen Jing murmured, suddenly thinking of a possibility, and hurriedly looked at Canary and asked, "The people here don't need to provide social value to survive?? Their daily life Where do you get daily necessities??”

"Of course it was given by the 'True Immortal'."

When Canary gave the answer, Tuoke had already stopped the car against an old alley.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the 'True Immortal'."

……

After getting off the car, Chen Jing followed Tuoke and Canary, turning left and right along the old alley of the slum, passing through several open-air yards along the way, and walked for almost half an hour before reaching their destination.

It was a "shack" that could be seen everywhere in the slums.

The shape is simple and can be called shabby.

Even Chen Jing suspected that it couldn't even protect it from wind and rain.

But just outside such a simple and poor shack, there were actually hundreds of mercenaries crowded with people who were as powerful as Tuoke.

These mercenaries seemed to know Tuoke and Canary. When they saw that they had brought a stranger "outsider", they just stared at Chen Jing with vigilant eyes, but did not ask.

Opening the curtain of the shack, Chen Jing followed them in.

As expected.

The space inside the shack is very narrow and cramped, but in such a small place... there is actually a "holographic shrine" from the research association!

There was a faint light in the shrine.

A translucent humanoid figure was sitting cross-legged in the shrine, reciting a pagan scripture of unknown origin.

Yes, that is definitely a scripture from another strange religion, because Chen Jing could not find any similar content in the memory of "Zhenjun Huaijing", which shows that it is definitely not the product of the "Turing Sequence".

But having said that, Chen Jing couldn't care less whether he was a pagan or not, and he didn't care at all. What really surprised him... was the voice reciting scriptures.

too familiar.

It was so familiar that he felt like he was dreaming.

"Li Mobai... why are you pretending to be a ghost here..."

Chapter 755: Immortal Fetus (Part 1)

Chen Jing could recognize that the voice chanting sutras and mantras in the shrine came from the long-lost Li Mobai... Although the voice was obviously electronically synthesized, Chen Jing would not admit it, absolutely not.

In the table world.

Li Mobai showed off his "cyber transformation" to Chen Jing more than once, especially the distorted and distorted electronic synthesis tone. In his words, the entire Hanging City is unique and can be as unpleasant as it sounds. , it’s hard to recognize my own characteristics...

"This is the 'true immortal' we follow." Canary bowed to the human figure in the shrine, and Tuo Ke on the side also imitated Canary's salute, completely unable to tell that he had spoken before. He spoke in a yellow accent all the way, and his expression was more serious than visiting a grave.

"Is this... AI or what?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask, and then strode forward, wanting to take a closer look at the holographic figure, but unfortunately Canary suddenly stopped him.

"What are you doing?!" Canary said angrily, "You should maintain the minimum respect for the 'true immortal'!"

"Sorry..." Chen Jing smiled awkwardly, "It's rare to see such a rare 'existence', I'm really a little excited..."

At least respectful?

When he heard this sentence, Chen Jing almost stopped.

He knows better than anyone what kind of bad character Li Mobai is. If the figure in the shrine is really Li Mobai... let alone respect, Chen Jing immediately wants to lift the shrine and give him two A mouthful.

From the day this guy completely disappeared, Chen Jing was worried about his safety all the time. Although he personally promised Chen Jing that nothing would happen and Turing would not kill him before completing a certain task, but...what? Everything is prepared for eventuality.

What if Turing changes his mind?

If Li Mobai's name hadn't been on the candidate score rankings, Chen Jing would have held several memorial services for him during the period of his disappearance.

"Yes, Brother Bailong, you must remain respectful when facing the 'True Immortal'. He is a being greater than Turing." Tuo Ke advised earnestly, as if he was afraid of the newcomer's random thoughts. , so he explained a few more words, "Everything we get is given by Him. Stay respectful and humble to Him, follow His footsteps, and you can accomplish anything."

"..."

Hearing this somewhat familiar set of "brainwashing words", Chen Jing felt that Li Mobai had really learned it badly... This piece of shit is good at learning some words about developing a family in deep space.

Of course, this is not necessarily learned from "deep space". After all, those ancient god beliefs that are spread wantonly in the other world are what believers say when developing new people.

So what is Li Mobai planning to do?

Pretending to be a ghost?

Shouldn't.

He had never been interested in such things.

But looking at the attitude of Canary's "fanatic believers", it seems that he is spreading his own beliefs.

"I told you I'd help you make the connection." Canary took a step back, looking at the human-shaped phantom in the shrine with fanatical eyes. "Whether it can be accomplished or not depends on the True Immortal's intention."

"What does he mean?" Chen Jing blinked and asked curiously, "It's like an interview at the company? As long as he nods and says it's okay, it's considered a pass?"

"more or less."

Canary smiled, then looked at each other with Tuo Ke, and both left the shack that smelled of incense and candles.

"You can talk to the 'True Immortal' yourself, and he will guide you on the way forward."

"...Are you serious?"

Canary and the others did not answer Chen Jing's question, silently closed the door and left, leaving Chen Jing standing in front of the shrine with a confused face, completely confused as to what these lunatics wanted to do.

but……

If the figure in the shrine is really Li Mobai, then all this can be explained. From the program he created that can block Turing monitoring, it can be seen that this kid must be planning something...

"You guys are just leaving like this, aren't you afraid that you will be disrespectful?"

Chen Jing muttered and took two steps forward while carefully looking at the holographic figure chanting sutras and chanting mantras.
