Cyber ​​Ghost Record

Chapter 24: Dissociation
Su Ge recalled Yang Guan's instructions when he gave him the feather.

[If any evil spirits or monsters are detected invading the device, the feather will take countermeasures.]

Now, this dark red object, about the size of a lighter, illuminates almost half the room, turning everything a deep red.

finally come!

A hint of anticipation mingled with Sog's fear. If it was a general who had come, and the Security Bureau was monitoring its usual channels, then they could catch it this time!

He was still wearing an exoskeleton and a monocular vision device, so his field of vision was normal.

The general did not repeat the same tactics as before.

While keeping an eye out for any potential dangers around him, he picked up the feather and put it in his pocket.

Just as he was about to leave, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.

Not right.

Su Ge realized that he had not yet fully confirmed Yang Guan's identity.

Last time, the general also appeared in a way that made him trustworthy, squeezing out his room for thought with a sense of crisis and intense urgency, leading him into real danger.

If the "Yang Guan" who sent the message is the demon that caused the feathers to react, then the real danger awaiting him outside the apartment is what's truly in danger.

Su Ge hesitated, then sent Yang Guan another message:
[Prove that you really are Yang Guan.]

He gripped the doorknob, waiting for a reply.

Time slipped away unnoticed. If Yang Guan was real, he was now wasting precious time for escape.

Trust me.

The other party only replied with two words.

Soger discovered that although he possessed a military exoskeleton and had mastered the art of anchoring consciousness, he still lacked the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't prepared enough; a single eye could hardly protect him from anything. If he had a drone or a spider robot on hand, he might be able to send them ahead to scout out the situation.

He slowly pushed open the door. The corridor was illuminated by the faint light of the holographic characters "Lu Ying Ting" in the atrium. All the doors were tightly closed, and in the deathly silence, only the wall screen at the corner was broadcasting advertisements.

He glanced at the dark and cramped corridor and elevator, then chose another path. Facing the night wind, he jumped out of the corridor window, grabbed the windowsill, and used the drone logistics platform on the exterior wall of the apartment to leap down layer by layer.

He established a deep connection with the Gu Diao, and his balance plummeted at a rate of more than forty yuan per second. As his brain heated up, information from the surrounding environment flooded in.

The air, with a humidity of 63% and a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, swept past me at a speed of 7.4 meters per second. The pearl doves on the windowsill of their nests trembled their feathers restlessly, and the black cat nimbly jumped into the apartment building.

The buzzing of the hovercar could be heard outside the apartment, and occasionally electromagnetic waves and infrared rays swept by, but they were absorbed by the Gu Diao's cloaking layer, and he was not locked onto by the radar.

He jumped from the 15th floor in 26 seconds and arrived at the apartment's atrium.

Beyond the stacks of material boxes and iron frames, a transparent glass door connects to the hall at the west exit.

In the right eye of the view, the virtual image of the apartment manager stands politely in the center, and everything seems calm and peaceful.

He quickly crossed the hall. Outside the west gate of Luyingting was a buffer zone leading to Longjin Road, with barren holographic green flower beds lining the dark street.

Once you step out of the hall, the street is right there, where the day and night spirits roam, and various dangers lurk in this complex environment.

Through the Gu Diao's perception, Su Ge discovered that some radar waves and infrared rays were coming from high up in the street, hidden in the complex space where sky rails, signs and ventilation ducts intertwined.

If it were demons or monsters, they certainly wouldn't have been able to create such a grand spectacle.

The door opened, and Su Ge walked out of the hall. Almost the instant he left the apartment, Gu Diao sensed the strong magnetic constraint!

Su Ge's heart suddenly raced, but the moment the magnetic force arrived, he was already airborne. The Gu Diao had neither a jet propulsion module nor a magnetic force adjustment module, so he was sucked into the air without any chance to resist.

Looking up, a pristine white hovercar, adorned with a deer-headed, bird-bodied design, hovered overhead, its chassis emitting a high-color-temperature blue light from its vortex.

He was sucked from the ground into the cylindrical space inside the car. Then, the blue light went out and the transparent partition wall descended.

What appeared before him was the interior of the airship, with pure white walls. There were five people inside: two were residents of the apartment, and the other three were investigators from the Security Bureau, dressed in combat uniforms and helmets, two in black and one in white.

Sug breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he hadn't fallen into a trap set by demons and monsters.

He couldn't tell which one was Yang Guan; he only saw the white-clad investigator putting the instrument on an apartment resident's head and saying, "Triple test passed, dissociation degree meets the standard."

After saying that, he pushed the apartment resident aside and said to Su Ge, "Come here for a second." "Wait." Yang Guan's voice came from the helmet of a black-clad investigator, "He doesn't have a brain-computer interface, so he can't be possessed by a ghost."

"A simple check will suffice." The investigator in white walked to Suger's side. "Don't move around too much, you have a slight fever."

Su Ge glanced at Yang Guan. The investigator in white lifted Yang Guan's eyelids, examined him for a while, then removed his vision, connected the interface to his fingertips, checked him over, and nodded.

"no problem."

He gestured for Suger to leave, as another apartment resident had already been sucked into the levitation vehicle.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the scenery outside the car.

There were also many hovercars hovering around the apartment, and it appeared that all the exits of the apartment were blocked.

Su Ge walked towards Yang Guan and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation now?"

"Did you bring the feathers?" Yang Guan's face appeared on his helmet.

“I brought it.” Sog handed over the feather.

Yang Guan took the feather, his gaze sweeping over the outline of the exoskeleton on his body. He frowned and glanced at Su Ge with surprise. He had assumed that Su Ge, like other hibernators, was not adapted to the times, but now it seemed he had misjudged him.

Have you been in contact with any suspicious individuals recently?

"Is this related to 'it'?" Soger asked.

“It’s not that one.” Yang Guan shook his head. “This time, the feather sensed another demon.”

"Who?"

"It's still unclear. At present, we have only tracked its location and monitored all the channels it has used. Right now, its main body is trapped in this apartment."

……

A huge square mirror floats in the void of darkness.

Shen Ke stood in the darkness, looking at her own reflection with white hair and green eyes.

The mirror she constructed in this virtual space does not reflect an optical image, but rather a projection of her personality.

At this moment, the mirror reflects her dominant personality, which is no different from her own.

A second mirror appeared beside it, and the personality projection remained unchanged.

Until mirrors appeared one by one, twelve mirrors surrounded her.

The mirror reflected an infinite space and countless images of her.

These figures began to change.

Some of her hair turned black.

Some of them were still young, while others were very old.

Some of them grew downy hair, pointed ears, fine teeth, and narrow eyes that almost flew into their temples along with their white eyebrows.

Some of her are a surging green shadow composed of countless 0s and 1s.

She closed her eyes.

With a shattering sound, she opened her eyes again, sitting in her apartment. Many parameters appeared in the corner of her eye, among which were three lines of glaring red text:

[Dissociation Index: Extremely High]

[Dissociation Index: Extremely High]

[Cognitive Dissociation Index: Extremely High]

Those eyes, as white as duckweed, seemed to be disturbed by the wind, becoming distorted.

She picked up a suppressant, slowly bit down on it, lit it, inhaled deeply, and exhaled gently.

After the smoke cleared, her eyes returned to calm.
