After opening the black porcelain mask, Linyin saw Xu Yang's true face for the first time.
She looked intently at this Mr. Network Supervisor, who was about 25 to 30 years old. His appearance was a bit handsome, not as immature as young people, and he had not yet acquired the bad temperament of middle-aged people. He was in a subtle state.
In its mature state, there are still some vicissitudes of life.
She reached out and brushed the stubble on his face to ensure that there was no cosmetic prosthesis on his face. Linyin quite liked this appearance.
"So, who...are you?" Linyin came closer and held Xu Yang's face with both hands. Her delicate pink eyeshadow and lavender eyes were so close, and her short frosty white hair hung behind her ears.
As beautiful as you want.
Xu Yang saw the faint light in her eyes and knew that she was using her skills as a hacker witch to try to search for relevant information about this face. He had already paid attention to it.
"Stop, there is nothing," Xu Yang said, "I am a blank person."
"I can't find this face." Linyin looked at him.
"You can't find it anywhere. There are no records. Blank, zero, nothing, whatever you want to describe it."
"Deleted by you?" Linyin thought of Mr. Internet Supervisor's technical ability.
"I deleted part of it, and more were deleted by others. Traces of my existence are deleted and forgotten every month. Some people are hunting me, but they are also weighing the price of finding me every day. To this day,
The price was too high, so they gave up trying to track me and chose to bury me. Now I have lost my social relationships and all historical records, so you can only see a blank, non-social life. You can only see it through the naked eye.
To confirm my existence, because I don't exist in any records."
"..." Linyin was silent.
"You're different," Xu Yang looked at her. "It's easy to find out your wanted status, your images in various cameras, your ratings and records in hostile companies and neutral agencies, and the social activities you participate in."
The events, the destruction, the teams you once joined, these are all preserved. But I have nothing and live in the impression of a few people."
"You live in my memory." Linyin stood up straight.
"That's right. You, and a few other people who know me well, maintain my social existence." Xu Yang said, "Except for you, no one else in the world knows about me, and they can't find me no matter what method they use.
"
"You can't even be found in the company alliance's archives." Linyin confirmed several times, "There is nothing...it does not exist in any database. You died in everyone's minds."
"Yes, that's how it is with dead people. When one person dies, others forget about him and move on. It's that simple."
"Doesn't that mean no one knows your past?" Linyin was even more curious about Xu Yang, "What did you do in the past?"
"Only I know that those things are important to me, but they are worthless to you." Xu Yang nodded, "Forgetting is a punishment. I have already endured this punishment and been forgotten by everyone else.
Now, all I have to do is continue to float around in the world and meet some new people. I can no longer go back to a normal life."
Linyin looked around this lonely office. Xu Yang's heavy self-narration made her feel sympathy. She sighed, walked forward and hugged Xu Yang, letting his head rest on her.
"In other words, if I leave you behind, you will be drowned in the crowd." Linyin looked down at him, "Without any insurance, being in a company, and being outside society, are you a floating atom?
"
"It doesn't matter what you say."
Seeing that he was too tired to respond, Linyin stood up, turned around, and walked to the other side of the room.
Xu Yang could only see her whole body at this moment. She was tall, wearing a black gelatin tights that was almost like a swimsuit, and a white short coat. The hollow parts on both sides of the leather stockings showed a large area of fair skin, and she was made of dark leather.
Boots above the knee.
"That's why you need an assistant." Linyin sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and said in a tone that could not be criticized, "Continue to teach me deep diving. This is another part of your promise."
"Wait a minute." Xu Yang's problem is that when he finished driving piles for the last time, Farosha didn't use the law of recovery on him again, so now he has nothing and is exhausted, so he can only rest and wait.
Physical strength and stamina recover on their own.
Linyin saw him put on his mask again.
"Why?" Linyin asked, "You don't need a mask at all. According to what you said, no one will recognize you anymore."
"This is a reminder." Xu Yang said, "It reminds me of some things that happened from the past to the present, some shame."
Linyin nodded.
She has become more familiar with Mr. Internet Supervisor.
I originally thought that he was a gloomy, evil and ruthless leader of network monitoring of Nisto Company, but now I understand that he also has a lonely life, and may have a tragic past. The sorrow and loss in his life have created his restrained patience now.
Everything made Linyin feel strange.
Linyin sat in silence on the chair, looking down at the spotless ground, and couldn't help but think of the events she had encountered.
The way she longed for the most was to be unknowingly shot in the head by a large-caliber sniper bullet, and to forget all the pain, sorrow and despair in the past.
"Thank you." Linyin suddenly said, "I am stronger than before. If I were to face the powerful enemies in the past, I wouldn't be so afraid."
"It takes a little effort." Xu Yang took a deep breath.
The setting sun shone into the room in the afternoon, and the light and shadow of the world deflected in his sight. The furnishings in the room were simple and practical, with terminals, smart screens, bookcases and a complete set of furniture. It was much more secluded than the Xisheng Shrine, where many employees were stationed.
.
In order to distract her attention, Linyin maintained a healthy schedule in the next few days, spending most of her time on hacking network challenges during the day, and continued to tackle the difficult challenges that randomly appeared in the question bank. She completed it better than before.
There are too many, and he can be almost as fast as Xu Yang, solving difficult problems and meeting the system's standards before his body overheats and his brain is burned out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Linyin is very distant in some aspects. When her clothes were washed and dried in the machine, she was still walking around the room.
He walked away, completely ignoring the fact that he had no clothes to wear, and not feeling anything wrong with it at all.
A few nights later, Xu Yang saw her sitting on the balcony smoking wet after taking a shower. He found that he had a reaction, and he knew that his physical strength had been restored.
"We can dive deep." Xu Yang led her into the technical room of the Shijin Building.
Linyin lay down in the technical cabin with very different thoughts in her heart.
She wants to use the power of the Sea of Hillis to invade real big companies. She is no longer a small-time street hacker, no longer a middleman with unknown risks. She wants to break into a company with a famous name in one fell swoop.
Break through their defense systems, access their core databases, and steal everything she needs.
The program started, and this deep dive was perfect. There was no longer the state of being lost in the deep sea of data for several hours without realizing it.
Linyin fully absorbs and experiences all the conditions around her. She understands what form she should exist in, and her consciousness is transformed into an editable data file. At this point, her control over the Sea of Silis can be described as
Progressed to a very high level.
If she wants, she can edit her memory and even personality in the digital state, and then when she returns to her original body, the modified data will be reflected in her real body and soul. But she is unwilling to change it at all.
content.
Four hours later, Linyin showed signs of diving deep and unable to extricate herself, so Xu Yang initiated the exit procedure and took her out of the Sea of Hillis.
The technical cabin cover was raised, and they both woke up from their respective technical cabins.
"You have made many breakthroughs." Xu Yang praised, "You have completed half of the course."
He noticed that Lin Yin looked wrong.
"Yes, half..." Linyin murmured, covering her face with her hands. She often said that the greatest pain is powerlessness, but now she feels that her abilities have improved by leaps and bounds. In order to overcome all fears, she still lacks a true
practice, "I want to...I want to finish all the courses now, no matter what it costs me."
"You don't have a digital mind," Xu Yang reminded. "Multiple dives in a short period of time will completely destroy your brainpower."
"Am I not qualified?" Linyin stood up on the technical cabin and said to Xu Yang, "Is the difference that big if you have a digital mind or not?"
Xu Yang didn't say anything, and Linyin realized what she had done wrong. She turned her gaze away and held her left elbow with her right hand. She still remembered how the company's troops crushed her comrades like bugs.
"What happened in the past is still like a shadow." Xu Yang said, "We are all the same."
"I go into my dream file every night and replay the battle," Linyin murmured. "I re-remember, so close, infinite simulation, screams and bloody smells, flames and bullets. At the beginning, I
I can only watch. After receiving your training, I can intervene on the battlefield and hack into the monster-like Cyborg. Recently, I replayed the situation and found that I can inject Trojans to restrict his movements. I only need to dive in a few more times to learn more.
Advanced technology, even as long as I have a digital mind, I can...I can stop everything. But...I am still...powerless, powerless, unable to protect my partners..."
"You just need patience and time." Xu Yang said, "I won't hide anything, trust me."
"But I'm really useless, aren't I?" Linyin looked at the palm of his hand, "Digital Mind... Sea of Hillis..."
Xu Yang asked her to stay in the technical room and left by himself.
Linyin lay back in the cabin and quickly pressed the button, hoping that it would enter the deep dive program, but there was no way. Xu Yang had already locked the system. Lying on the cold red cushions of the technical cabin, she had never felt so connected to the world.
Alienation.
At this moment, she suddenly understood Xu Yang's living situation. A forgotten person. Only a few people who remembered her could still understand who she was. She turned her head and looked at the sides of the technical cabin, being claustrophobically used as a biological computing power in the company's facilities.
The terrifying hallucination of extracting the source suddenly came to mind.
Linyin couldn't stop trembling.
Until an unknown amount of time passed, the sound of metallic footsteps came from the corridor.
A hand knocked on the bulkhead, and then Linyin heard someone climbing up.
Looking for shadows.
She looked at the lost Lin Yin and didn't reach out, but sat near the hatch with her back to her.
"It doesn't matter if you stay there." Miying said, "I'll just miss you."
Linyin was stunned for a moment.
She took a deep breath and climbed out of the technical cabin with all her strength. Miying helped Linyin get dressed again. She was breathing much more smoothly now.
"Did Mr. Internet Supervisor call you here?" Linyin asked, "Or did the cyber monster summon you here?"
"A combination of both." Miying said, "We have a mission. We should prepare ourselves before setting off."
Linyin returned to the office and Xu Yang handed her a data chip.
"The information is inside, come back after completing the mission," Xu Yang said, "You should be ready for the third deep dive by then. When you complete all the courses and fully master the deep dive ability, I will have a final
A trial for you."
"What?" Linyin asked.
"Hack into Enomoto Bank's Sea of Seas system and take away all their money."
