Abyssal Wanderer.

Chapter 100 NO.0063: The City of the Past
On the street where people come and go, a few fuzzy blocks of human shapes appear suddenly.And as their resolution gradually increased, this deep-diving salvage team gradually came here from the void.

[The base construction process has started...]

[The substitute program has been loaded...]

[Redundant information filter has been opened...]

[The breadcrumb imprint is online, and it is expected to take effect within 40 hours]

[I wish you all success in your mission]

The notification messages of the deep diving cabin were unfolded on the eye movement interface one by one.Everyone looked around and observed the surrounding environment.

Different from the ruins of the desolate city they dived into last time, right now, they are in an underground city built under a steel sky, with neon lights everywhere.

"But why are there so many...people here?"

Qian Xiaying looked around and asked with some trepidation.

They were surrounded by a bustling crowd that looked like a central business district at Christmas.

There are men and women, old and young in the crowd.Each of them is a different shape, appearance and dress, but each one has a lifeless poker face.

Moreover, their walking postures are like puppets on strings, stiff and clumsy.

In addition, when Jiang Zhou's fully armed abyss roaming team suddenly appeared here out of thin air, no one around had a proper reaction to it-at most, they were just people who happened to be blocked by them , will consciously go around when getting too close.

"Nature is not a human being... You can tell by looking at it with Hongqiao vision."

Regarding Qian Xiaying's doubts, Jiang Zhou replied in this way.

Hongqiao vision refers to the restoration of visual signals received by the brain-computer interface into codes in the cyberspace for Hongqiao brain area to perceive.

This is the basic ability that every hacker will master. Simply put, it is to see the code of the object through graphical modeling.This will be called "hacker's eye" in the hacker circle, and some people jokingly call it "cyber spirit vision".

Qian Xiaying nodded when she heard the words, and turned her attention to a young man who was walking his dog not far away.

In an instant, her eyes flickered with a deep color like the night sky...

Then, as if she had been punched in the face, she threw her head back and took several steps back before stopping.

In that instant, a massive amount of information passed through the Hongqiao brain area, and was translated into intuitive feelings that shocked her spirit.

"Fuck!"

Qian Xiaying covered her eyes and cursed in a low voice.

There is also a reason why Hongqiao Vision is ridiculed as "Spiritual Vision" - for the existence in the cyberspace, it is easy to observe the essence of the other party through its graphical interface, and it is easy to be hidden under the massive information buried.

Even if Qian Xiaying only opened it for a moment and then cut it off, even if she chose a seemingly harmless object to observe... the moment she saw the complete information, she still felt like someone was holding a sledgehammer on her forehead Came for a while.

And through the other party's humanoid disguise, Qian Xiaying finally saw a file; a file that recorded a citizen of the Nord resettlement area named Yang Ju.

Starting from the birth registration, this file followed the trajectory of his life all the way, and finally ended with his death certificate.It contained countless texts, images, and video materials, so much that she felt dizzy just by flipping through it.

Qian Xiaying estimates that it will take several years to read the entire file.

"You TM..."

Shaking her head to recover, Qian Xiaying looked at Theseus who had given her such a "good suggestion" before, and opened her mouth to scold directly.

However, when she turned her gaze to Theseus, she realized that the man's "spiritual vision" was always on.

This made her speechless - she felt so uncomfortable just by glancing at it, but the other party was looking around with Hongqiao Vision on?
Not only that, but Theseus was still looking at him with concern at this moment.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

he asked.

And combined with the confused expression on the other party's face, Qian Xiaying always felt that these words sounded more like:

"That's it for you? No way?"

"I am fine."

Qian Xiaying, who swallowed the cursing words, gritted her teeth and replied.

MD, for hackers, there is no way to make up for something like talent—the growth of the Hongqiao brain area determines the upper limit of different individuals.

Even if the other party was just a low-tech person before, but after installing the brain-computer interface to stimulate the mutation of the Hongqiao brain area... Now Theseus has become a hacker far better than her at the "hardware" level.

Of course, fortunately, the other party has not installed any hacking plug-ins for the time being.Although the performance is not comparable, but in terms of skills, I must still be far better than him.

"It's fine."

On the other side, Jiang Zhou replied while closing Hongqiao's vision.

This is partly because looking around with "Spirit Vision" on will make his temples feel throbbing pain.On the other hand, after scanning around, he found that he couldn't find any useful information from the people around him.

"In other words, these people around are actually their file programs?"

Looking around at those passers-by who behaved like NPCs, Qianxia Sakura asked.

"Huh? You used Hongqiao Vision earlier, and what you saw from them were personal files?"

However, before Jiang Zhou could answer, Aconitum-23, who led the team in the dive this time, asked suddenly.

Immediately, without waiting for Qian Xia Ying or Jiang Zhou to answer, he verified it himself - he grabbed an unlucky pedestrian from his side, and then tore off the person's head.

Seeing this, the pedestrians around did not panic in the slightest—they continued to walk on the street stiffly as if nothing had happened.

As for Aconitum-23, he threw the headless corpse in his hand into the sky, and watched it quickly dissipate in mid-air as flickering dots of light.

In the end, the corpse left behind a data ball—it slowly flew into the hands of the three-meter-tall armored figure.

"interesting……"

After roughly previewing the content, he threw the ball casually, then looked up at the leaden sky and said:

"Unexpectedly, the place I dived to this time is actually a mirror image of a city."

With that said, Aconitum-23 turned to look at those members of the Icarus Liberation Front.

Although he couldn't make any expressions on his face, for some reason, everyone could feel the evil taste of the other party at this moment.

"So, rejoice, rats. This is the Nord Settlement Underground City from five years ago... You're home."

He said so in a sarcastic tone.

The people from Icarus couldn't help but fell silent looking at the familiar buildings around them.

Here is a snapshot of information from the Underground City of Nord Settlement Area five years ago.And the pedestrians around are the personal files of the residents here—maybe it contains their own files.

The abyss darknet is all-encompassing, and it is not a big deal to contain the information of this entire real city.But it is extremely rare to be able to arrive at a city that exists in reality when diving.

After all, in the abyss dark web, compared with the information provided by humans, the information generated by AI is much, much more—there is no order of magnitude between the two.

But at this moment, they just happened to dive here... This probability is statistically the same as when a coin is tossed and the coin stands up.It cannot be said that there is no such possibility, but the probability is definitely much lower than that of flipping heads and tails.

Of all the people present, probably no one would believe that this was a coincidence.

"Then we go back directly?"

So someone in the team asked.

If there are any pitfalls in this, then this is probably the most prudent choice right now.

"What? You just wanted to go back when you saw your home?"

However, Aconitum-23 shook his head and continued to taunt.

He didn't seem to want to go back just like that.

"Even though this mission is an outing for me, it is still a deep dive salvage mission for you. All of you must fill your storage space with technology blueprints before you are allowed to go back."

Then, he raised his tone and ordered like this.

"Then where should we go?"

At this time, 136, who had been silent before, suddenly asked.

"To be honest, I kind of want you to find 'yourself' in this city and kill them one by one... But it seems too time-consuming to do so, so let's find a location with a wide view for the time being Let's release the induction beacon and see what malicious programs can be attracted."

This three-meter-tall armored man said so.

After speaking, he stepped forward, like Moses, parting the crowd in front of them.

When everyone saw this, they all followed behind him.

Jiang Zhou was walking at the end of the team at the moment. He looked at the city activity map provided by Hecate's blessing in the eye movement interface, thinking about some problems while walking.

Like, who on earth brought them here?
Is it Hecate?Janus?Or something else exists.

And, more importantly... what is the purpose of bringing them here?
It was the Nord resettlement area five years ago. What secrets are hidden, do you need to discover it by yourself?
Not long after everyone left this crowded bustling street, two stars fell from the leaden gray iron sky.

That was Liao Qi and Booker. The marks they left behind through Jiang Zhou also came to this underground city that existed in the past.
