Chapter 144

Shadow looked at the place where the two disappeared in confusion.

"Along with humans, have electronic storms also lost their minds?"

Shadow asked: "What does this matter have to do with him? Why would he take the risk to intervene -"

Before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped and his face suddenly became distorted.

...These lunatics actually attacked Chuan Bookstore while negotiating!

The data usually sleeps in the database. There is no way to detect the specific changes for the time being, but it has been suddenly awakened by a series of alarm prompts.

The monitoring program that usually works well with them seems to have suddenly gone into serious chaos, and it has begun to swallow up the operating data of Chuan Bookstore itself out of order!

The shadow stood up. It wanted to send the data back to the database, but it could not find any normal entrance.

"It's better to sit down and watch." Pu Ying signaled, "We need someone who can pass the message."

Shadow stared at him: "What's going on! I need an explanation!"

The shadow projection has lost its stability, and its voice rises unconsciously. It looks at these crazy humans in front of it: "What have you done?! It's you who asked for negotiation! You untrustworthy liars-"

He didn't get an answer from anyone, but it didn't take long for him to get the answer to this question.

These frantic humans, after successfully breaking through the Zerg defense line, exchanged Chuan Bookstore for Chuan Bookstore.

…

The supervisory procedures of Chuan Bookstore are completely independent from all systems, and are extremely outdated, rigid, and lack of flexibility. They are a set of mechanical procedures that operate autonomously.

This program has no emotions or self-will, and does not interact with any information. It just operates rigidly according to established rules, but it has the highest authority to penetrate the bookstore.

One of the rules is "As long as it is owned, it is a commodity, and as long as it is a commodity, it can be exchanged through the mall."

"You are crazy!" Shadow asked urgently, "Do you know what will happen if you redeem it in the Bookstore?"

To redeem Chuan Bookstore from Chuan Bookstore, this is simply an impossible command and will cause the most serious data conflict——

"I know." Shi Ji said, "This has happened to the system I was implanted in before."

He was transformed as a bionic man, and the program implanted that required him to obey orders was also given completely contradictory instructions by Zhan Chen.

This kind of conflict will cause spontaneous chaos in the data internally, and may even lead to continuous deconstruction and collapse.

Shadow was furious: "If you know, why do you do this?"

The shadow could no longer maintain its intact form. Broken electric sounds began to appear in his voice, and the projection was severely distorted: "There is a problem in Chuan Bookstore, and you can't escape! Your world has been in chaos for a long time without our maintenance.", your world line will completely collapse soon..."

Pu Ying interrupted him: "Why is our world in chaos?"

The shadow froze, and the projection shook uncontrollably.

"You treat our world as a plaything and turn the electronic storm into a murderous knife."

Pu Ying took off his glasses: "Now you tell us that you have no solution, so we have to use our own methods to solve this matter."

Shadow's voice finally revealed uncontrollable fear: "We will find a way!"

"What you do will only intensify the conflict between us!"

Shadow promised urgently: "We will definitely find a way and give you a satisfactory answer. You believe us..."

Shi Ji shook his head: "We don't believe you."

Shadow froze.

"We only believe Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhan."

Shi Ji put down the detonator, and his voice was as cold as the clear sky after snow: "There is one more thing, you are wrong."

Shadow couldn't stop trembling: "...what?"

"This detonator is fake. With our current technological level, the weapons we can create cannot destroy Chuan Bookstore at all."

Shi Ji said: "You have been hiding in the database for too long. You have always been addicted to the virtual world created by Chuan Bookstore, which has made you forget the rules of the physical world."

Shadow's eyes widened in shock.

He stared at Shi Ji in disbelief. His shattered and twisted body wanted to rush over to question him, but he could no longer move arbitrarily due to the chaos in the core data.

The shadow was nailed to the spot. This time, even if he didn't rely on data to run the simulation, he could already feel the strong despair.

Humanity is not prepared to use the destruction of Chuan Bookstore as a bargaining chip in negotiations!

It was they who believed this and exposed the flaw.

Breaking through the Zerg's defense line and meeting the application conditions for exchange was the fear signal in their data, which gave the monitoring system the evidence to finally determine the transfer of ownership of Chuan Bookstore.

...It was they themselves who handed Chuan Bookstore over to humans from a logical level.

It is true that attacks at the physical level cannot kill them - but this kind of exchange will cause serious chaos in the internal program operation of Chuan Shu Bureau. This chaos is really enough to cause their data to be damaged!

"We will not let you go..."

The phantom of the shadow began to disintegrate. He stared at these humans, and his intermittent voice was full of hatred: "In the system of Chuan Bookstore, there are storage spaces that operate independently and are not affected."

Shadow's voice was like a poisoned curse: "We will move in and hide. When this storm is over, we will come to take revenge——"

His voice suddenly paused, as if he realized something belatedly, and completely froze in place.

…

If there is any place in Chuan Bookstore that is not monitored and can avoid being scanned by the surveillance system, it must be the recycling bin.

This is where discarded data is stored. As long as they make a disguise that it has been cleared, the surveillance system will not check it carefully, and they will still have the opportunity to hide it.

The data had begun to migrate on its own, and Shadow was the last one to enter the recycle bin. But after entering the recycle bin, a particularly strange space that he had never imagined appeared in front of him.

It was a space of only gray.

There is no sound, no color, no objects that can change. There are only large areas of deep and shallow gray in this space.

This is a deathly silence more terrifying than the eternal loneliness in the universe.

Shadow's data fled out crazily: "Let me go! I regret it, save me——"

"You can re-edit your own world." Pu Ying said, "Start with colors and shapes."

Just like the builder of this bookstore.

They can no longer speculate on the civilization to which the builder belongs, or perhaps the ancestor of these data civilizations - the fictional worlds in the Chuan Bookstore are all written with complicated and detailed data.

The massive data architecture in the book world is already enough for these data civilizations to survive in it without being alone.

"We have long forgotten how to build a world!"

Shadow said anxiously: "These records are regarded as useless redundant data and have been cleaned up long ago!"

There are so many low-dimensional civilizations in this universe, just pick one and use it directly.

As long as you find a way to bypass the logical self-examination of the surveillance system, you can do whatever you want and plunder those colorful lives and destinies.

Everything is clearly at your fingertips, who would bother to build a new world bit by bit starting from the first line of data?

Shadow struggled with all his strength, but to no avail. He was firmly dragged by other data trapped in the recycle bin, and was slowly swallowed by the gray.

Pu Ying asked: "Have you ever thought that this is the reason why you still feel lonely no matter how many worlds you take away?"

Shadow was stunned.

His projection had also turned gray. He looked at the humans in front of him, with only confusion and despair in his gray eyes.

He couldn't understand the thinking of these physical beings, and he still couldn't figure it out - these humans obviously didn't have the ability to destroy Chuan Bookstore, and they didn't have the ability to strip away dimensions, capture and control electronic storms, but why did they inexplicably win this battle?Game?

It was Chuan Bookstore that devoured Chuan Bookstore, and it was the data themselves who chose to hide in the recycling bin.But they have clearly deduced every step strictly and conformed to the best logic after optimization. Why did they still reach this step?

"How to build your own world...do you know?"

Shadow whispered: "We don't remember. After learning to strip away dimensions and capture the world, our information reserves have increased significantly, and we won't remember these things..."

His voice grew lower and lower, finally being dragged in by other data trapped in the recycle bin.

The data frantically snatched away the last piece of color code he had brought in.

…

"alright."

Shi Ji blocked the recycling bin. He stood up and looked at the game world in the corner: "I'm going to find Mr. Yu now. Can I leave the rest to you?"

The game world was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, Sheng Yi in the corner had already struggled to get up: "Are you crazy!?"

Although he didn't know what those two people wanted to do, he also knew that it must be something extremely dangerous. In comparison, the eye of the storm became the safest area.

"Are you really not afraid of death at all?"

Sheng Yi looked at Shi Ji, his tone already showing pleading: "Can you just stay here? They will solve it... Besides, it's been so long, even if you rush over, it's too late..."

Shi Ji: "Time is completely still in the eye of the storm,"

Sheng Yi came back to his senses and his expression suddenly changed.

… Doesn’t this mean that no matter how long they hide here, they will still be at the most dangerous point when they go out?

He swallowed hard and opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

If it were before, Sheng Yi would rather die than let Shi Ji look down on him.But the blows during this period had already crushed his bones, and fear kept growing out of the cracks in his bones, crawling throughout his body.

He tried his best to catch his breath and raised his head: "You——"

Sheng Yi froze on the spot.

Shi Ji didn't look at him at all. He walked to the game world and Wen Sheng taught him the next operation: "The data of the reviewers, administrators, and intermediaries are all here. The 'Shadow' came here to capture them."Import the core data back into the container and let them continue to be the puppet."

Half a month ago, the Ministry of Security discovered that Wen Er, who was being held tightly, disappeared out of thin air. There was no trace of escape, and nothing unusual was found in the surveillance.

Pu Ying came to Shi Ji and asked Shi Ji for a detailed topographic map of the eye of the storm.

These data are used to playing with low-dimensional creatures at will. In their view, human beings are nothing more than a ball of particles that can be rounded and flattened and can be captured, extracted and modified at will.

The shadow was completely confident, preparing to capture the new electronic storm and fill it into the terminal, then resurrect the three ghosts and throw them back into the human world.

As for catching the wrong person by searching according to conditions, he also got the new shell Sheng Tiancheng made for himself. It was just a search error caused by the duplication of key information.

"The intermediary's data needs to be backfilled into the recycle bin, otherwise the data may still escape."

Pu Ying took over the rest of Shi Ji's words: "Administrator——"

The shadow in the corner trembled.

"On the third day after Wen Er disappeared, we found his discarded body."

Pu Ying said: "In a physical sense, he is dead."

"Because he was afraid that the key would be found, the terminal stripped out his core data and managed to hide it - Mr. Yu captured this data and obtained administrator rights."

"The crimes he and Zhong San committed must be subject to the final trial of the Alliance Court."

Pu Ying said: "We need to bring the backup data back and fill it into their bodies..."

The game world suddenly asked: "Will seniors be in danger?"

Pu Ying paused and looked at Shi Ji, but did not answer immediately.

… They couldn’t answer that question.

The key point lies in "Yutang".

In the same dimension, Yu Tang from different timelines should never meet - today's Yu Tang should not meet tomorrow's Yu Tang, and the still alive Yu Tang should not meet the dead Yu Tang. This is the rule of the time dimension.The most stringent and unchangeable rules.

Time is the most special dimension, it can only flow forward forever.

If it weren't for the dimensional difference, the "reviewer" in the higher dimension would no longer be his true self, and there would be no chance for the two Zhong San to meet.

Once beings that should not meet overlap, space will collapse, and no one can predict the consequences of this collapse.

Chuan Bookstore will strictly prevent this situation from happening, but the existence of the electronic storm provides the possibility for this situation to occur.

In the original timeline, Zhan Chen once gave Electronic Storm a spring.

But this time, Zhan Chen's spring was still in his hand and he didn't have time to send it out.

Similarly, this time Yu Tang, as an employee of Chuan Bookstore, took over Yu Tang's role and recovered the particles belonging to Yu Tang - but this was not the first time that Electronic Storm recovered Yu Tang's particles.

In that timeline where nothing had time to change, seventeen-year-old Yu Tang entered the book and became Sui Si's assistant. Later, he faked a marriage with Sui Si and became a tool used by Sui Si to calm public opinion.

In the eighth year of the book, Yu Tang was invited to be a guest at the hotel where Sui Si and Ke Ming were getting married. On the rooftop of the hotel, he fell into a beautiful aurora like a dream.

In that uncorrected timeline, Yu Tang had become part of the electronic storm.

Sleeping in the aurora is a long-dead Yu Tang.

"As long as Mr. Yu falls into an electronic storm on the rooftop again, it will trigger the collapse of the world."

"It's dangerous, but only a collapse of this magnitude would blow up the puddle of time and give us a chance to escape."

Shi Ji said: "I need to rush there in case an uncontrollable situation arises——"

Game World interrupted him: "You're lying."

Shi Ji's voice paused and he raised his eyes.

He was not angry because of this accusation. He just stopped what he was saying and looked quietly at the man-made electronic storm in front of him.

"I can taste your emotions."

Game World said: "This is not the smell of hope... You are angry and regretful."

These humans are different from those seen in the game world before. They still look calm enough, but the emotions hidden in their bodies are already intense.

These regrets, worries, and uneasiness that are so strong that one can't breathe can emerge with just a slight flicker.

"Why do you regret it?" Game World asked, "Isn't there hope for this world?"

Shi Ji was silent for two seconds, then shook his head slightly: "We have no intention of regaining hope like this."

He is already the commander-in-chief of Interstellar, and Pu Ying is the person in charge of this investigation.

Luo Ran had already recovered. It took him a week to learn to drive the mecha and guide them through the electronic storm, allowing the fleet to pass through the risky outer area of the electronic storm and successfully reach the eye of the storm.

Feng Qing's data should be hidden in the terminal or somewhere in the mall. As long as it is found, Feng Qing can come back.

All the mistakes of this world have been corrected, and all the lives and destiny that were taken away have been returned.

…

"But we are not prepared to regain hope like this."

Shi Ji said: "Everything has a price, but the price shouldn't be an electronic storm."

His eyes were still quiet and soft, his shoulders were tense and calm, but his voice was already slightly hoarse: "The price should not be Mr. Yu."

Game World looked at Shi Ji for a long time, his dark red eyes flashed, and he raised a hand.

He seemed to have grasped something in the void, pressed it slightly, and pulled it back. A door suddenly materialized in his hands.

"Time stands still in the eye of the storm, but it will flow again once it gets out."

Game World said: "I only know the Special Forces office."

The game world raised its head, compared the dimensions of Shi Ji's wingman, and re-modified its own door: "You have to move faster."

Shi Ji's eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't have time to say another word, so he hurriedly thanked the game world, climbed onto the wingman neatly, and pressed down the joystick.

…There is nothing left to deal with the situation.

This is the most willful thing Shi Ji has done since he became an observer.

He had no time to ask the instructor and team leader for instructions, and there was no need to make further arrangements - the world's ability to self-correct was astonishingly strong, and countless people were supporting this nearly collapsed world, trying to turn this world into a state of collapse.The world that has been maliciously tampered with is restored to the way it should have been.

This world must be completely put into place.

He just had to rush over as quickly as possible and use every method he could think of to protect their friends from the inevitable collapse of the world.

The game world watched the wingman fly away and was about to close the door, but was stopped by Pu Ying's arm.

"Sorry, I am correcting what I said before. Zhong San can be left to your sole discretion."

Pu Ying handed the save disk containing the remaining data to the game world and put on his glasses with one hand: "I have a friend who is operating a mecha outside. He has red hair and is easy to recognize - can you please modify the size of the door again?"
