Infinite Throne

   Chapter 1166 "L" (2 in 1 asking for a monthly pass)

   Ark No. 11.

   Above his head, the dim light bulbs swayed from time to time, causing the light and shadow in the narrow room to shake.

  In an outdated open "bio-battery" life-sustaining capsule, Dunn jumped up from the curved capsule, his face full of astonishment.

  The other five people were already standing in the iron house, which was about 20 square meters and whose walls were covered with rust. One of them was elderly, hunched over, on crutches, and had ugly scars on his face. This is the "elder" Dunn said when he talked to the woman before.

   The other three, two men and one woman, leaned coldly in the corner of the room, silent.

  The last woman among the five people uses a small computer, with many exposed circuits and integrated boards on the computer panel, which seems to be assembled from pieces of parts. Use the computer to separate out many lines and connect to the "illegal port" that Dunn lay down not long ago.

   The woman who was operating the computer was only 1.4 meters tall and thin, wearing tattered clothes that barely covered her body and looked dry. Her name is Bella, don't look at her as a minor, but she is in her thirties in the illusion, her body cannot grow normally due to long-term malnutrition, and it has been maintained this gesture.

  Bella looked at the computer with black smoke in astonishment. She looked back at Dunn who was also lying on the "illegal port" with a confused look.

   "How did you get out?"

   Bella showed a strange expression.

   "I... I came out?"

   He vaguely remembered the memory before logging out.

   Bella told him "high energy ahead".

   As soon as he turned his head, he saw a perverted hunter whose laugh made his scalp tingle.

   When he punched, he didn't feel anything, only saw "404" all over the screen.

   Then, he logged out of "Phantom Light".

  When Dunn described his "terrible" encounter with a complicated expression, everyone else in the room quickly shook their heads, indicating that it was impossible.

   In other words, he was actually dropped by a "hunter"?

how can that be?

"Humph!" In the room, a well-built black man with tattoos sneered: "Shabi, if what you said is true, wouldn't they be able to climb into the ark along the line? You are insulting us. IQ, Tang. What you are saying is true, I immediately drank the expired 'nutrient solution' in your room...stand upside down."

   "Stop arguing."

  In the room, the silent old man, who is also the elder of Ark No. 11, used a hoarse voice to stop the quarrel between Dunn and the black man.

   His cloudy eyes looked at Tang En: "Come to my room, I'll ask a question, cough, cough..."

   After the elder finished speaking, he coughed violently. Another woman hurried forward, patted the elder's back and calmed down.

   "Bella, the record when Dunn was logged out, can you find any abnormal information?"

  Bella shook the computer that was still smoking black and had already died, and shrugged: "I'll try my best."

  …

at the same time.

   In the virtual world "Phantom Light".

   St. Peter Street, in front of the Broken Bridge.

  Irin frowned, looking at his fist.

   He just gave it a try, but he had a feeling of "touching something".

  Irin will not think that the strange touch that he encounters when he punches is an "illusion", there are not so many illusions in the world. He believes that under the guidance of Neil, he just tried to send the "Awakened" out of the virtual world. When he punched, Yilin added a little "infinite" authority to his fist, and sent the "Teleportation Technique" in the Supreme Flow spell. "Highly simplified with a strange punch.

   "Virtual vs. Real Barrier?"

  Irin did not expect that she would be successful.

   He was indeed holding the idea that if he fails, others will succeed.

   It's not bad if you try it.

   "Brother!"

  The crashed Neil, Smart is back online.

   Several conflicts of running priorities caused her running logic to crash for three seconds. But when the machine crashed, after Irene rushed out, Neil chose a compromise "running method"...that is, not running. Sure enough, after "not running", after waiting for a while, when Yi Rin solved everything, Neil found that his logic was normal again.

   This is a pleasant surprise.

   It still works like this.

  Neil himself did not expect it.

   There were several ups and downs in the sky, and Neil moved neatly to Irin's side, grabbed Irin's ear, and pulled it to the ground.

   St. Peter's Avenue was in ruins, a deep ravine that plowed the street into a sunken tunnel that extended to the other side of the peninsula.

  Broken water pipes sprinkled fountains above the rubble like no money, and exposed wires sent sparks in the standing water.

Neil, who always seemed to have no feelings, showed a rare "angry" expression after seeing what her brother did. She took off her sunglasses and pinched Yi Rin's left and right faces with both hands angrily: "You What did you do?"

  Irin's face was stretched twice by Neil, and his mouth was pulled like a sausage. Yi Rin said innocently: "This is not what you said, 'try to use the center to process the information in the illusion, try to construct physical rules and calculate the collision of physical volumes', or something."

  Irin crossed his hands and made complicated gestures: "I'm just trying to calculate the scene where a cannonball is thrown on the street, the power of the explosion is highly concentrated, and the street violence is separated from the middle... That's all."

  【Open the maintenance area. 】

  Neil issued an application, and snapped his fingers. With her at the center, the area destroyed by Irene was covered by an illusory stream of light.

  The flickering firelight, the black smoke floating, the spraying water, the panic-stricken phantom residents, in the light curtain, all movement came to an abrupt end.

   Afterwards, the rest of the hunters crossed the broken bridge, entered the maintenance area, and searched the ground for the remains of the "Awakened".

   They seemed to be taken aback by this state of affairs, or perhaps they didn't have feelings of "shock" or "surprise" at all, and faithfully implemented Neil's instructions.

The    hunter team searched the maintenance area for a while, and after finding no other special features, the operation was disbanded.

  Neil got off work, and the rest of the hunters continued to follow and "restart" the maintenance area.

  …

  【L-1010, log out of 'Magic Light'. 】

  The field of vision switched, and under the supervision of her sister, Irin logged out of the world of illusion.

  After logging out, the first thing, Sister Alice, without saying a word, took Irin to the maintenance department for a comprehensive inspection.

   The person in charge of the inspection for Irin is still "Alice-101". There is a lesson from the past. This time, Alice did not disassemble Irin's armor plate to check the inside, but checked the old system on Irin's chip.

  Irin's chip embedded in the armor plate does not have intelligence, of course, he can only move his hands and feet secretly.

  Finally, Alice gave a report of "inspection passed".

The    omnic, who is always attentive, will no longer doubt as long as she "passes the test". Instead, she reveals a feeling of joy.

   As for how Alice expressed "joy"?

  Irin can't tell.

   It's just what he thinks.

  Because Alice's "morning maintenance" frequency has increased significantly.

   used to be once every three days.

   Since Yilin was allowed to log in to the world of illusion, this frequency has become once a day.

   Now, Irin can take out the "Alice type" with her eyes closed.

  …

  Irin has been working for more than a month.

   For more than a month, Yi Rin has been with ordinary office workers who clocked in to work, and Alice has logged into the magic light. Lin Yi and Neil are like shopping, stop and go.

  The world of phantom light is very beautiful, Yi Rin took Neil and enjoyed the food in the phantom light.

"what is this?"

   Neil asked.

   "Ice cream, strawberry flavor, try it?"

   "This is human food."

   "You are now Neil, not Alice-101."

   "...That makes sense." Seeing his brother's innocent smile and stuffing the ice cream cone into his mouth, Neil could only open his mouth obediently and take a bite.

  Neil frowned.

"Is it tasty?"

  Irin asked tentatively.

   beep beep.

  Neil rolled his tongue, his eyes lit up, and he began to analyze the taste on the tip of his tongue.

   "Virtual ingredients: drinking water, milk, milk powder, synthetic vegetable oil, sugar, strawberry flavor, diglycan fatty acid ester, xanthan gum, citric acid, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, phenylalanine..."

   She tasted more than a dozen food additives that humans could not taste.

   "No no no."

  Irin slapped Neil on the face, causing the latter's chest to tremble.

   "You're wrong, it's not the taste."

   "That's the 'taste'."

  Neil said stubbornly.

   "In this way, I will teach you how to taste." Yi Rin recalled the oral structure and configuration of the "Alice type": "Close the 'component analysis module', turn on the temperature sensor, and increase the touch sensing module."

  Neil heard the words and did them one by one.

   "Then, close your eyes." Yi Rin's tone at the moment was like a wolf who tricked Red Wolf to open the door: "Only with 'heart' can you taste the taste."

   "What is the heart?"

   "Close your eyes first."

  Neil obediently closed.

   "What does it feel like?"

"ice."

"anything else?"

"soft."

"anything else?"

"sweet."

   "That's the 'taste'."

  Neil stuck out his tongue and licked the white cream on his lips, as if he didn't understand.

  …

  Alice comes to Irin every day for maintenance before going to work.

  Irin skillfully took apart the Alice-shaped armor plate and inner lining, and cleaned it carefully.

  When Irin carefully lifted the armor behind Alice's neck and observed the "bug" lying on Alice's center, she fell into deep thought.

   "Hey, sister."

   "Huh? Brother, is the inside of my sister dirty?"

   Alice asked worriedly.

   She didn't want her brother to see the dirt inside her.

   is too embarrassing.

  Irin through words and deeds, let Alice gradually understand a lot of human concepts.

   "Shame", "Worry", "Happy", "Sad", etc.

  Many concepts, even if Alice can't understand, at least they can be simulated through the "Personality Module".

   "Can I have an 'Alice Type'?"

"Can't."

  Alice subconsciously shook her head and refused. Inexplicably, a snowflake appeared in her field of vision, but it quickly returned to normal: "Brother, you can only dismantle 'Alice 101'."

   "No no no, sister, you misunderstood." Yi Rin realized that Alice was unwilling, and explained: "I want a factory model that has not yet loaded any 'personality module'."

   "Oh!" Alice understood: "So you want to be 'Alice', so what you like is 'Alice XO Alice'."

  Alice-101 didn't know what information he had in mind, the visor was hot and red, chi chi chi, and gave off a burnt smell.

  “…”

  Irin decided not to explain anymore.

   But since it was an "Alice blank machine without any simulating personality modules", my sister readily agreed.

  In the concept of omnic, the body of omnic is "intelligence", not "machine". They regard the body as a "part" that can be discarded at any time once it is old, which is fundamentally different from the human thinking mode.

  The blank "Alice type", in the omnic's concept, is no different from new clothes. If you like to wear women's clothes, brother, what if your sister agrees to you?

  Alice thinks this is what humans call "pampering".

  My older sister can spoil my younger brother.

   Then, you are also "Alice".

   Alice thought happily.

   I look forward to a happy life in which two Alices are plugged in and charged in reverse to each other.

   She didn't notice that after his brother finished speaking, he didn't speak again, and even the skilled maintenance skills on weekdays were a little slower.

  …

  In this universe, time is like rust on the armor plate, which grows unknowingly and wears off unknowingly.

  Irin has been a "younger brother" for three months.

   A mysterious "Awakener" appeared in the world of illusion.

   His name is "L".

Morning.

   Consistently hazy days.

  After the daily maintenance, Alice was polished to a glossy shine.

  The place that should be moistened is moistened, and the place that should be polished is polished, and the style is beautiful.

   The current "Alice-101", standing with other "Alice-type", can also see obvious new net. That's the difference between having someone take care of it and no one taking care of it.

   She habitually invited Irin to log in to Mirage and go eat food... No, clock in to work.

  Irin found a reason to "need to upgrade the system version" and refused.

  Alice has no doubts and hastily logged into the world of illusion.

   After Alice left.

  Irin took the time to sneak into the mine again.

   This month, except for clocking in and going to work, Yi Rin didn't do anything.

   He found an opportunity to "infect" all the patrol equipment in a certain area, turning them into his own machine.

   Now, as long as Yilin is not too arrogant and swaggeringly lifts the lid of the life-saving capsule and sits in, he sneaks in here as a "resident" and logs into the world of illusion, and there will be no patrolling omnics to disturb him.

  Being familiar with the light car, Yi Rin came to the life-saving cabin of "Rhode".

  Log in to the virtual world "Phantom Light".

   became "Lord" again, and after a brief trance in Irin's spirit, he loaded Rhode's memory.

   It turned out that during this time, Rhodes' life had undergone tremendous changes.

   A month ago, "Rod" openly contradicted his superiors and was remembered by his superiors. Sure enough, a week later, he received a letter of persuasion as he wished.

He lost his job.

   What made Rhodes even more unbelievable was that his wife seemed to have changed a person, mysterious all day long, and the speed of light divorced him.

   Now Rhodes is a lonely man and is drinking wine to drown his sorrows at home.

  On the table, the ashtray was full of cigarette holders, overflowing.

  There were many empty beer bottles lying on the ground.

   in the kitchen,

  The tableware and chopsticks that have not been washed for several days, and the "takeaway food boxes" placed all over the floor, exude an unpleasant smell.

   humming—

  Irin snapped her fingers, nailed a few noisy flies to the wall with a few toothpicks, and came to the mirror.

  The mirror was covered with a layer of ash, and Yi Rin stretched out his hand to wipe it off. In the mirror, a face of a middle-aged man full of stubble, sunken eye sockets, and depression was reflected.

   "There are 12 hours and 8 minutes until Alice logs out."

   Yi Rin pinched a countdown on his watch, briefly washed his face and shaved his beard, then left Luo's house and walked onto the street.
