Overturned Tower

Outside the window, the new moon is born, sprinkled with clear light, as quiet and soft as water.

"go home."

He said, "Your turn is over."

Chapter 1 Monkey-faced Eagle: Deleted by the system

Ampoule Biomedical is located in Yongquan Island Branch, Yongquan Island No. [-] Sanatorium.

A bald man with a heavy briefcase and a costume appeared silently at the door.

His skin was dark blue, with a fine layer of fish scales on it, and his pupils also shone with cool-toned light.

When he walked to the security gate at the entrance of the nursing home, he casually glanced up at the door and stared at the iris-scanning machine.

The next moment, the man walked in as if nothing had happened.The many forts that seemed to be aimed at him were also removed and reset.

In the cyberspace, a more transparent afterimage of a man was reproduced and stayed in the same place just now.He kept looking at the security gate, and a cone-shaped light blue light shot out from his pupils.

His personal information appeared in the system out of thin air, while his "occupation" and "authority" became blurred and changed rapidly.Almost in an instant, "senior psychotherapist" became his new profession.

Immediately afterwards, the image of the bald man began to be copied rapidly in the nursing home.

Every time he took a step in the real space, more than one phantom would separate from him in the virtual world and walk slowly in all directions.They bypassed the coding walls and controlled every facility in the nursing home.And after controlling the facility in front of him, the phantom disappeared again.When the patrolling network security engineer passed by, he didn't notice anything unusual, let alone the intruder.

Numerous cameras, smart gates, security gates, machine servants... the lights of all internal networking devices flickered for a moment, and then their control rights were completely taken over.

The man walked towards the side hall calmly, and the camera avoided his figure.

A beautiful machine servant came to him, saluted him respectfully, and then took the handbag in his hand.

She walked to a corner where no one was around, and a dozen machine servants gathered here.They opened their handbags, got a patch bomb like a mobile power supply, and stuck it under their skirts without hesitation.

No one spoke a word during the whole process, and the camera avoided everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the fire alarm was sounded.

"Ugh-"

The UI in the eyes of everyone in the nursing home was stained with crimson, which represented a warning.Whether they were eating or sleeping, they were forced to wake up by a slight tingling sensation, and a female voice alarm sounded in their ears, guiding them to immediately follow the servant to the underground space for refuge.A bright yellow arrow appeared in everyone's eyes, floating in the air.And a lot of information appeared beside their field of vision, including how long it would take for the non-existent fire to spread to their floors.

Although a little nervous, no one felt panicked.The moving crowd is not slow, but it is definitely not fast.People didn't even walk fast, let alone run in a panic - because the notification was absolutely timely, and the evacuation path calculated by artificial intelligence was absolutely in time.

People have always believed in their technology.

The smarter the person, the more the superior person who manages people, the more they believe in technology-because technology without a heart is much more reliable than a living person.

But they wouldn't notice that the servitors who escorted them to evacuate had bombs with flashing red lights attached to their skirts.It was just a patch the size of a mobile phone, but it was enough to blow up a few meters around until there was nothing left.

The security gate, which could have easily detected all this, also seemed to be blind.It was clearly scanned, but they didn't call the police at all... Just like in their judgment procedure, it was not a big problem to find explosives on the servant's body.

Soon, as the camera uploaded all the information and was analyzed by the artificial intelligence of the nursing home, they immediately noticed that in a private room in the restaurant on the first floor, people did not heed the alarm and evacuated immediately.

The two machine servants hurriedly trotted in that direction, but the pace under the bald man's feet still did not waver.The machine servant ran from behind him to in front of him, but he still walked there slowly.

In less than 2 minutes, people were emptied into the ground in an orderly manner.

On the bald man's body, countless patch bombs were activated and flashed red light.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please evacuate immediately!"

From the door of the room opened in front, there were anxious voices from the machine servants.They don't have the emotion of "anxiety", but in order to hurry people up, they can add elements in their words that will make people feel this emotion.

However, their urging seems to have hit a snag.The people inside don't want to come out.

But it doesn't matter.

This was originally planned.

As early as when he passed the first security gate, he had already invaded the surveillance of all the rooms.And see the specific situation.

Although I don't know when Russell left here early... But the others left before it was too late.

strangle.inferior.delphinium.bad day.

The core personnel of the Fuji Society's forces are all here, and they can be handled in one pot.

There's even an elf director...what a bonus.

Of course, the safest way is to drive them to a closed underground space.In that narrow space, there is no room for escape and resistance—considering that the strangulation has shown a defensive spell before, the explosion may need a second wave.But in that case, many high-level personnel on Qikong Island can be killed by the way, thus dragging the entire Fuji Society into negative public opinion.

Even if the Fuji Society didn't do anything, even if it was itself the biggest victim... But as long as public opinion gives a direction, that's enough.He doesn't need to add fuel to the flames, and folk rumors can explain everything clearly.

However, they all seem to be very vigilant, deliberately choosing not to enter that enclosed space-which is also reasonable.

The Tower of Babel can give them the ability to escape from the cage, and they are not afraid of the chronic disaster of fire.So it was reasonable for them not to leave for a long time, and it was also reasonable not to stay with other people... After all, the power of the Tower of Babel is not suitable for Daoming outsiders.

But the prerequisite for using this ability to escape is that they must be able to touch a closed door.

That's why the man specially sent a machine servant to open their room door first.This is to seal their ability to escape.

"Gentlemen, please come with us—"

Under his control, the two machine servants walked towards the bad day and the bad guy.If these two high-level psykers are not dealt with immediately, there may be a way to prevent the explosion.So in his setting, the bombs on those two people would detonate first.

After effectively controlling them or injuring them... the bomb on his body will detonate in the next step.

So……

Countless panels popped up in the pupils of the man who remained silent.That was the operating panel for these bombs he had brought.

The man had no intention of speaking harshly, nor did he intend to explain his plan.

The moment he walked into the room, he pressed the confirmation button with his own consciousness without hesitation...

— as it should be.

But the fact is that his body suddenly lost consciousness.

The monkey-faced eagle was puzzled.

The patch-type high-explosive bombs on the body he controlled had already been disarmed, and all the bombs should have detonated immediately at the first moment of his death or unconsciousness.

However, the moment the body he controlled lost consciousness—the indicator lights on the bombs all went out in an instant.

Not only that.

That unstoppable "empty" feeling is even spreading upwards.

In the No. [-] Sanatorium of Yongquan Island, which has been completely controlled by the monkey-faced eagle, almost all electronic equipment failed at the same time——

Numerous cameras turned off at the same time and slowly reset, all the instruments and equipment made the sound of shutting down, all the servants paused in place for a moment, all the lights in the nursing home were turned off, and the UI images in people's eyes were full of chaotic mosaics. The special instructions for augmented reality are also all gone.

——In an instant, all electronic equipment in the entire nursing home was forcibly "stopped".

And the feeling of emptiness still creeps in—

Undetectable, undetectable, unfeeling.

The countless "splits" controlled by the monkey-faced eagle lost their response one by one.

Yongquan Island, Sogo Island, Tongshen Island, Sun Island... In the empty islands where his avatar exists, some rooms in some special facilities suddenly turned off the lights and all the equipment stopped working.Some cameras in the streets and alleys were suddenly disconnected, and rows of computers on the intranet of some companies were all turned off.

It was evening.

The neon lights unscrupulously released on those empty islands seemed to fade a little because of this.

Some people suddenly passed out without warning while walking or doing something.The operating system of the chips in their brains, as well as all stored user data and programs were all formatted, and a file in a program newly downloaded by some users was suddenly deleted, resulting in a program or software that could not be opened at all.

——Just 0.42 seconds had passed since the man stepped towards the door of the room.

It wasn't until this moment that the monkey-faced eagle finally realized something was wrong.

"Wait, spare my life - we are not enemies!"

The monkey-faced eagle sent a very strong signal.

There is a terrifying enemy that he can't see and can't detect, with a posture that he can't resist, with an ability that he can't understand, is resolutely erasing his existence.

The only person who can do all this is the one named "Sheath".

Russell's biological father, but also Russell's enemy.

The guy who killed the dragon and ruined the plan of the elf directors, the sharp blade controlled by the church.Like him, they all uploaded and digitalized their own consciousness.

Just today, not so long ago, they had just talked.Sheath had warned herself to restrain her actions.And the monkey-faced eagle also directly abandoned the "werewolf legions" he controlled, indicating that he has absolutely no intention of being an enemy of the church at present, and showing his favor to the sheath-if the church intends to abandon you one day, you can also come to us.We are the same.

Yes, the monkey-faced eagle can clearly feel... sheath should be the same kind of person as himself.The same emptiness, the same meaninglessness, the same mundaneness...the same betrayal of hope, the same anticipation of death.

They are the same side of the "Egg of Dusk"... or rather, they are only complete when he and the sheath are fully fused.

Just as Russell can observe the hearts of others and change his own body and mind... This is a complete set of abilities; and the monkey-faced eagle can also completely integrate the will of others with itself at will, making others a part of itself.

However, he does not have the ability to "delete" this digital consciousness.People who are assimilated by him will become a part of him forever, because even he himself cannot deny his own existence—in the final analysis, he is no longer the original "monkey-faced eagle", but an "anima". Animus".

But if he has the ability to "sheath", he can "completely delete" part of himself.

As a researcher in related fields, he certainly knows... the free increase of data is absolutely bloated and meaningless. If he continues to grow like this, he may only become a meatball.Because I don't have the permission to "delete", then I can't complete self-optimization.

The sheath only has the ability to "delete", but it cannot increase its own existence... which means that the things he owns will become less and less.To decrease without increase is as harmful as to increase without decrease.

"We should be of the same kind, we are originally one - no, I am willing to take you as the main body!"

The monkey-faced eagle took another step back.

"I can help you against Russell... I can also help you against the Pope! You can't do this to me, we are the best together...

"At least, at least let me survive..."

But his existence was still firmly deleted.

Across space, across the barrier between the Internet and reality, countless monkey-faced eagle backups are constantly being deleted by that invisible force.

The monkey-faced eagle felt the crisis of life and death.For the first time, he wanted to urge those heads to gather together and appear as a group god again.

But this time, the monkey-faced eagle couldn't even send out a signal, and all signals were completely cut off——

In the real world, a black-haired young man in his early twenties inserted his hand into the chest of the bald man.

Blood trickled downwards.

It was a young man with melancholy eyes who had just graduated from university and was full of ideals for the future.

And above his head, there was a black halo.Behind it is a pair of black wings.

That is the real "black light" - as if it does not exist in this world, but a "sunken" "non-existent halo".

——Until it was completely erased in the end, the monkey-faced eagle didn't see the man who was close at hand.

"It's so sad..."

Sheath sighed: "Sure enough, I still haven't been able to swallow it completely."

"...Failed?"

Delphinium leaned over worried.

"Half the success. The ability and memory have already been acquired, and his body has been eaten by me. I can feel that I have become complete. The nutrients are already very sufficient... The hatching can be completed at any time."

Sheath's voice was as steady as a lead stone: "Only a small part, completely stripped of the 'program' of emotion and personality, fled to the Pope. After all, Russell's ability is still not fully effective against the illusory thing like 'program'." ... But overall, the goal has been achieved."

"...Long time no see, teacher."

Bad Ri was silent for a long, long time, still in the dark room, with his back facing the dim yellow sunset outside the window, he spoke softly.

And Shea had a complex expression, her back was facing Bad Ri, and she never looked back: "We met for the first time, Nan Liujing... I apologize to you for the immature behavior I made in the future.

"I hope you can still see the real dawn after the long dark night.

"As for 'I'. Such a sinful soul, that particularly restless wolf... after all, I don't deserve to live until that time.

"Russell today is just a man in wolf's clothing.

"Let him replace me and wait with you for the dawn of the future.

"Finally, happy birthday to you in advance, Russell."

The melancholy young man said to himself: "And...

"Sorry, Alice. I'm back."
