Xu Yang still had some energy left, but Ye Zi was exhausted. She looked around tiredly and blinked.
"This is mom's tea room." Ye Zi shouted, "I never thought I would be here. It feels like an insult to her, so weird!"
"Don't you like it?" Xu Yang stroked Ye Zi's hair.
"Ouch." Ye Zi rolled around on the tatami where Noriko Honma had been sitting, "If mom knew what we were doing here, she would be mad."
"This is not a holy place. It's actually quite sinister. She must have been staying here since she got old."
"Then the heat we create can dispel her shadow." Ye Zi said with a smile.
Ye Zi jumped off the tatami and walked up and down the wooden floor with bare feet.
Looking back at the place where she stayed before, they were covered with the sweat of their hard work, and she gave Xu Yang a victory gesture.
Noriko Honma's tea room is a fully enclosed disinfection room that meets the standards for handling fragile patients. It is spotless, clean and bright.
The terminals and servers configured here have excellent performance, allowing Honma Noriko to process messages from all over the world. They are now used by Xu Yang. He sets up the network equipment environment here, lays out the Sea of Hillis system, and strengthens the network.
In compliance with safety regulations, the data computer room in the basement of the shrine is very large, providing amazing computing power, comparable to a supercomputer, and sufficient to support the operation of artificial intelligence.
Here, Xu Yang does feel like he is in a high place. In Shangjing, they have fewer friends and more enemies.
"Our quick victory has reduced unnecessary casualties," Xu Yang looked at the brightly lit metropolis, "but there is still trouble. Where are your people? Do you still have anyone you can contact in the northern archipelago?"
"Of course." Ye Zi operated on the terminal and searched for the companies under her name, "Before, according to what you said, I assembled about 400 ninjas, 1,000 troops, 2 laboratories and a surface fleet. Currently,
They were all hoarded near Shengbo City and formed into a company called Ye Zi Company, but I didn’t have time to use them. In addition, I still have more than 17 million left with me.”
"Nisto Company still has hundreds of billions of reserves on its books." Xu Yang nodded, "Now is the stage of digesting the results of the victory and converting what we have obtained into various aspects of strength. If it is Ye Zi, it should be better than us.
I know what kind of place Shangjing is."
"I know, I can help you sort out the problems inside and outside Beijing and clear out the remaining opponents...but one person can't accomplish these things in one generation." Ye Zi turned to Xu Yang.
"The next generation..."
"If you want it, I'm very willing." Ye Zi lowered his head.
"It will be very troublesome." Xu Yang squeezed the leaves.
"What...I'm not afraid of trouble."
"We actually have successors." Xu Yang explained, "Noriko Honma said that once we fail, we will be forgotten. That is not the case. Those young children, the teenagers and witches who grew up in Nisto Company, they are still
We will remember what we said and what we did.”
"After all, we are not as close by blood as our own children."
"Do you like children?" Xu Yang looked at her.
"I like it. I have decided to sever ties with my mother and stay here for the rest of my life. Is it too much to have a child?" Ye Zi curled her lips.
"Then I'll show you a good boy." Xu Yang and her dressed up and looked for the little fool in the small room at the other end of the flat floor.
She was lying in the moonlight in her pajamas, but she was not sleeping. She put her hands behind her head, crossed her feet, and stared at the moon outside the window. The milk bottle hung on her chest like an amulet. Although she had been weaned for a long time, she still liked it.
"That stupid kid who drools and has his eyes open?" Ye Zi felt incredible.
"Well, you can't say that. Her name is Xu Cheng." Xu Yang explained.
"It's only been a year and it's so big. What kind of technology?" Ye Zi's eyes widened.
"First of all, it was brought back from outside, and the name was given by another person."
The leaves feel weird and fun at the same time.
She met many lovely children in her childhood. The Kisei Shrine used to be crowded with the descendants of Noriko Honma. So far, there are more than 4,000 "sons and daughters of Kisei" distributed all over the world. No matter how cunning they are.
Children, when they are born, are also babies waiting to be fed.
Ye Zi walked up to the little fool and wiped her cheek with a tissue. The little fool was staring at the silver dots on the moon when suddenly a strange girl slapped her face with a flexible piece of paper, which made her doubly shocked.
"Quaa?" The little fool immediately turned over and looked up at the leaves blankly.
"If you want to hold the child, just hold her." Xu Yang said.
"It feels as brittle as a porcelain doll." Kojima Yezi didn't dare to do anything to the little fool.
"She is much stronger than you think." Xu Yang laughed.
Ye Zi knelt on the ground and waved to the little fool, who looked straight at her.
This is such a peaceful look. Ye Zi can't see any emotion in the simple eyes of the little fool.
It's like looking at a mirror, but what you are actually seeing is yourself. Ye Zi thought to himself.
This gaze made Ye Zi quickly traverse his life from the past to the present, and trace out what was worthy of reflection. In the end, Ye Zi had to face all the dark sides of his life, and face those shaky, fearful and pessimistic thoughts.
All the compromises made under the mother's majesty, if they are not eliminated, the leaves will not be able to regenerate.
"What a strange child." Ye Zi deflected his gaze, "An amazing little one."
"Quick." The little fool was angry at being called a little bit. She wanted to seek compensation, so she walked up to Ye Zi, took the milk bottle off her neck, and pointed to the empty bottle.
"What is this?" Ye Zi still couldn't quite understand the little fool's narrative style.
"Supplementary food." Xu Yang explained, "It can provide her with a lot of mobility until tomorrow or some time the day after tomorrow."
The little fool looked up at Ye Zi, and she couldn't refuse.
"Okay, there is a machine in the shrine with unlimited milk flow. I will take you to find it, and you will never be short of it." Ye Zi picked up the little fool very skillfully.
The little fool was completely stunned by this shocking news.
She opened her mouth slightly, her thoughts already drifting to the end of Milk Paradise. The little fool hung on Ye Zi, looking at Ye Zi with reverence, feeling that her future was guaranteed.
"What about you?" Ye Zi walked towards the elevator and looked back at Xu Yang.
"There is something wrong." Xu Yang connected to the system of Xisheng Shrine and noticed something strange, "There is someone in the underground data center."
"Hacker! Intruder!" Ye Zi was startled, and even the little fool became alert, "The computer room in the basement is a forbidden area!"
"No...no. You take Xu Cheng away first, and I'll go over and check." Xu Yang quickly went to the main computer room on the underground floor of Xisheng Shrine.
Xu Yang leaned against the elevator wall and sat in the anti-shock cabin, preparing himself for the impact.
There is an emergency elevator in the shrine, which uses an electromagnetic ejection system. It only takes 6 seconds to go from the 636-meter-high tea room on the 159th floor to the underground data computer room, almost hitting people to the bottom like a cannonball.
stop--
With the whistling wind, Xu Yang felt that the elevator began to slow down in the middle section and steadily reached the bottom floor. Then the door opened and he walked into the machine room.
In fact, he was not particularly worried, because he saw from the camera that Farosha was here, and the so-called intruder was actually Farosha.
Xu Yang just didn't know what Falosa was doing here.
Falosa walked in the computer room, surrounded by huge black walls. Each wall was nearly 1 meter thick and 2.5 meters high. They were far apart from each other and were made of bulletproof metal, making them difficult to open.
They are connected to the data system of Xisheng Shrine, support the operation of all terminals in the entire building, and provide computing power for the multi-eyed demon's shrine extension, forming a huge computing matrix.
"What do you feel?" Xu Yang followed Farosha, who was now walking silently like a ghost.
"I feel it..." Falosa paused, "What I have to do, in the dark night, in my dreams, the voices beg me to open them and figure it out. I asked Lila what it was, and Lila said it was
Countless witches are experiencing her past, and they are even more cruel than her past."
Xu Yang found the key stored in the shrine terminal and authorized Falosa to open one of the black walls. The black metal texture wall shrank to both sides.
Xu Yang saw densely packed witch brains inside the wall.
Each brain is placed in an antiseptic solution and covered with electrodes and data lines. These brains are filled with chips before being placed in the data tank, shining brightly and colorfully inside the black wall.
Some had their entire heads placed in the tank, with wires pierced through their skulls and facial skin, and broken vertebrae floating in the solution.
Falosa pressed her face against the glass, looking at the witch brains that formed the matrix.
Xu Yang saw labels on each data tank. The oldest one had been here for 110 years, and the youngest one had served for at least one year. The 159-story building of Xisheng Shrine was built above their heads.
.
"They call me mother." Farosha closed her eyes, "They are all talking to me, asking me to wake up from my dream and save them, otherwise we will never know what is here."
Xu Yang followed Falosa while decrypting the information stored in the computer room. There are many secrets in Xisheng Shrine.
"Where did their skins go? Where did their bodies, hands and feet go?" Farosha said to herself. She wandered in the maze of black walls. She opened wall after wall and connected the witch brain matrix with data cables.
It's everywhere in all directions.
Xu Yang has only now found relevant data. Part of it was because he was executed for rebelling against the Xisheng Group and his brain was cut out here. Most of it was because he died of exhaustion after extreme working conditions, but his brain was still dug out for Xisheng.
Serve longer.
The better the scientific research witches are, the more they will be marked as pending. When their work efficiency decreases, the staff will enter the witch execution program as soon as possible, so that their smart brains can be preserved here for a long time and provide stable value.
Many witches were bought specifically to make similar tools. Some were randomly selected and subjected to relevant wetware production experiments for large-scale transformation. Some were simply kidnapped and forced to provide computing power.
Falosa pulled one of the jars out of the black wall and silently stroked its glass surface.
She put her ear to the jar and heard, more clearly, one cry after another, coming from all directions.
"Kill me, mother."
"Kill us...Mother Falosha..."
"Please...kill us all..."
"We don't want to live anymore, we don't want to live anymore!"
Falosa held the jar and stroked it over and over with her hands.
"If we repair them..." Xu Yang observed, "It's like repairing Lila..."
"You mean they still have to work? How long will they have to work?" Falosa shook her head, "That's enough, that's enough. They just want to die."
If it were him, he would not be willing to continue living after accepting this kind of treatment. Even if he recovered, he would be immersed in the shadows for the rest of his life. Xu Yang thought silently.
"Let's do what we should do." Xu Yang said.
"Get ready." Farosha stood up, "I will save them from the pain."
Xu Yang walked outside the room and used his digital mind to control the equipment in the shrine, transferring their resources to external facilities to reduce the damage caused by the sudden drop in computing power.
Then, a gray light flashed in the room, and almost instantly, Xisheng Shrine lost the "supercomputing matrix" in the main computer room.
Domokumo's extension was down and on standby. Ordinary computers could not support the huge amount of resources required for artificial intelligence. Xisheng Shrine's system computing power showed a plummeting trend, and the total computing power was instantly reduced to 40% of the original.
The data processing capabilities of most terminals in China have been greatly reduced, and their performance has dropped unprecedentedly.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but he heard several long sighs coming from the data center, and the pain of a century finally came to an end.
Xu Yang returned to the computer room and saw that every black wall and every jar was filled with fragmented brain fragments.
Colorful falosa blooms among the blood-stained fragments.
She held the bloody jar in her arms and lay on her back on her colorful cloak.
"It's all over," she said.
Xu Yang saw that about 10 jars were still preserved.
"What should they do?"
"Only they are still in love with the world and long to be reborn by me." Farosha said, "Now, the computer must have slowed down."
"It doesn't matter, we can develop, manufacture and purchase equipment ourselves." Xu Yang whispered, "There is also the mother body of the multi-eyed demon. If we negotiate with the mother body about freedom, it may lend us its computer room."
"Well." Falosa stared blankly into the air, "At least..."
"What did you see?" Xu Yang sat next to her and held her cold hand.
"I saw their souls rising to the stars." Falosha whispered, "They smiled at me and thanked me for completely releasing them from the long and painful suffering. They called me mother, they stretched their souls' hands and feet,
Swimming in the air, they smiled at me as they swam. They didn't know how to walk or run for a long time. They couldn't distinguish colors and smells. They were like fish. But none of this mattered. They didn't need it now.
My skin is gone and I am free."
Xu Yang lay down, he could not see anything, he could only smell the smell of blood and burning circuits.
But one thing is certain, the witches who were once buried deep in the earth are now closer to the sky than anyone else.
"To become the God of Witches, you have to be bound to the concept of witches." Falosa stretched out her hand as if she could touch the soul in the air. "Before, I felt isolated and distant, but now I am more and more connected to the fate of the entire witch species.
The tighter I have to prove myself worthy of this identity and ultimately become one with it.”
"...By the way, Noriko Honma left us a message, and she threatened us." Xu Yang looked at the dark ceiling, "Her consciousness has left the witch's body and been transcribed into the machine."
"So she accepted the witch transformation ritual just to improve her physical condition, and the ultimate goal is to accept this form of 'ascension'?"
"Yes, her original human body was old and weak, but now she can undergo transformation."
"If we intercept the consciousness data, can we still transfer Noriko Honma back to her original body?" Falosa asked.
"Yes, as long as it is properly transformed... her original body will probably still be there, at least it will be a souvenir."
Falosa nodded slightly.
"She, how can she escape from her identity as a 'witch'? This is a great gift given to her by the God of Witches." Falosa said, "I want to capture Noriko Honma's consciousness and stuff it back
, put the human head around her neck in a jar and sealed it into a black wall. My path is so clear, everything that started because of me will definitely end because of me."
