Are you sure you want to come with me?

In the modification room, the fully armed senior engineer looked at Ahong, who had already been fitted with the implantation chamber, and asked again.

"Of course, why wouldn't I participate in something so interesting? Besides, I'd like to see how you, this strange guy, actually operate. Anyway, I'm off now."

Ah Hong closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, at the same time the loudspeaker in the shop blared.

"Holy crap, a data maze? What the hell is this?!"

Foreman Gao let out a breath, and the next moment, his talent 'Data Conversion' was activated.

Data conversion: You can switch freely between neural signals and simulated data.

The world I see has changed; the buildings in reality are starting to disappear, replaced by complex electronic circuits and currents.

In a world of optical fibers, databases, and output devices, simulated data is flowing.

The real world is cyberspace!

Hacker chip, 'remote hacking' activated.

Hanging Street, all electronic devices and emulation devices, home virtual reality experience machines, portable virtual projectors, holographic GGs on the street, and human body modification prosthetics, each became a springboard for "High Engineer".

PP Head's "hacking camera" limit is five.

However, at this moment, the senior engineer's vision changed from one to ten, then to a hundred, and then to a thousand.

Above the sky, a level 20 mechanical eyeliner suddenly changed direction, and the red light in its eyes became the vision of a senior engineer.

And on the outskirts of the welfare home.

A pedestrian whose brain had been modified suddenly stopped and turned to look at the welfare home.

Beside him, an office lady wearing glasses suddenly looked up, adjusted her glasses, and the engineer's figure flashed by in the reflection of the lenses.

More and more pedestrians stood around the welfare home, their combined vision forming a map.

The orphanage also revealed its true colors, with its walls opening up to expose mechanical mechanisms, and machine guns protruding from the top of the walls.

As soon as a pedestrian took a step forward, the machine gun suddenly burst into flames. In the mist of blood, the man was riddled with bullets and collapsed to the ground.

The bullet belt swept across the scene in a blur, instantly dismembering more than a dozen pedestrians, including the office lady.

On the blood-stained glasses of the office lady, a large amount of simulated data began to be generated, and then a strange smile appeared on her lips.

The next moment, three mechanical eyeliners descended from the sky, their red eyes, like searchlights, gradually lit up. The next moment, a beam of energy dealing tens of thousands of points of damage flashed by.

The three mechanical gun heads exploded violently.

"Breaking news! A gunfight has broken out at a welfare home on 11th Avenue. Both sides are heavily armed, and several pedestrians have died. Channel 3 reporters will continue to report."

"Hey, how did you know—" The cameraman saw the female host turn around and run towards 11th Avenue, so he quickly chased after her.

As the host turned around, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

[You cast Electromagnetic Overheat on the Automatic Defense Machine Gun]

[This damage is equivalent to Perception * 10 + Intelligence * 10]

[You dealt 1390 damage to the 'Automatic Defense Machine Gun']

The next moment, the mechanical gun head at the gate suddenly shattered into pieces.

A driverless flying car suddenly fell from the sky and violently smashed through the gate.

Behind the gate, there were no longer the old security guards who stayed up all night, but security guards armed to the teeth with cybernetic bodies, with a mechanization level of over 90%, and exoskeletons so thick they could withstand rocket-propelled grenades.

The level 25 cybernetic security guard also has another name: the full-skeletal guardian!

Two tubes of adrenaline were automatically inserted into his thighs. At that moment, the security guard's eyes changed from yellowish bloodshot to red bloodshot, and his drug-induced, unfocused gaze merged with a bloodthirsty madness.

The heavily armored exoskeleton man took one step at a time, wielding a hammer with one hand and slamming it onto the flying car, instantly destroying the engine. The flames of the explosion engulfed several cybernetic security guards nearby.

Amidst the flames, several cybernetic security guards remained motionless, while an electronic shield flashed repeatedly through their goggles, displaying a large amount of green data.

[Marubeni Type III Safety Guardian is dedicated to serving you]

[Your brain has been compromised, and security is working hard to eliminate the intrusion. This process may cause irreversible damage to your brain, but please don't worry. After all, your body organs have been outsourced and no longer belong to you.]

[Virus scan in progress, 'electromagnetic short circuit' successfully intercepted]

[Virus scan in progress, remote hacking successfully intercepted]

[Virus scan in progress, 'System Manipulation' successfully intercepted]

[Virus scan, virus scan, virus scan, "Prosthetic overheating" interception failed]

The lead security guard suddenly looked up. In his mechanical vision, an unmanned flying car was veering off course and hurtling toward him. He quickly raised his hands, and anti-aircraft tracking cannons popped out from both sides of his arms. However, with a "pop," thick smoke shot out from his arms, and with a "crack," both arms fell down as if they were broken.

With a loud bang, the front of the car, traveling at 500 km/h, came crashing down from the sky and slammed him into the concrete ground.

Centered on the entire welfare home, both the air and ground transportation systems were completely paralyzed.

Various kinds of garbled characters appeared in virtual products.

Just as people in ancient times could not live without electronic products.

People in the mechanical age are just as inseparable from virtual products.

Amidst the chaos of war, buds of flesh appeared on the ground. On the surface of these buds, drops of molten metal, formed from the bodies of the colonists, dripped down, each drop corroding a small hole in the ground.

Gradually, the granulation tissue intertwined and solidified into a human shape. At the same time, the neuronal armor formed by the colony also covered the surface of the granulation tissue as the nerve signals lit up.

A two-meter-tall mechanical monster gradually took shape.

The monster's mechanical hand slowly clenched down, and mechanical joints sprang out, eventually transforming into a mechanical spear nearly four meters long.

Against the tide of the surging crowd, the monster strode forward.

Hanging Street

The senior engineer, holding a skewer of cockroaches, ate while gazing in the direction of the orphanage, and remarked with emotion:

"The City That Never Sleeps is really not peaceful. Every now and then a crazy monster appears. It's really hard for ordinary people like us to survive here, right, Jack?"

Jack K gave the senior engineer a cold look.

"I had no idea when prosthetic doctors became ordinary people."

"And I smell blood on you."

"Maybe your cockroaches weren't cooked through."

Cyberspace, the data node where the welfare home is located

The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype appeared on the outskirts of the data maze.

"You're a little late," Ah Hong said lazily.

"And you've gone a bit too far in real life. We're hackers, hackers! We come and go without a trace, and even the targets we hack don't know that their personalities have been altered. That's what hackers are all about," Ah Hong said, heartbroken.

The boy glanced at him and said, "You've done a really good job as a hacker."

"Of course," Ah Hong said happily.

"Stop talking nonsense. You've been here for so long, don't tell me you haven't done anything."

"Don't underestimate me, okay? You should know that in the field of hacking, I'm your senior."

Ah Hong snapped his fingers, and the data maze in front of him began to disappear as a large amount of data was parsed and open-sourced.

A road appeared before them.

"This is the first layer of the three-layer firewall that has been breached."

"Your mirror meta-algorithm can't solve the second and third layers?"

Ah Hong shook his head, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "That's the most interesting part. Its signal source is too far away; only by entering it can one hack into the system."

"The signal is too far away, how far?"

"It can be preliminarily determined that it is not on this planet."

The senior engineer looked up and saw no sky, only an endless network of data.

"Then I think I understand."

The two exchanged a glance, and the next moment, the humanoid data entity transformed back into neural signals, disappearing into the data torrent at a speed of 250 km/h.

Welfare home, teaching building

The first floor was empty, with empty desks and empty classrooms.

But once you go up to the second floor, the various complex and advanced instruments leave you speechless.

Inside each electronic compartment is a dissected human brain; if a senior engineer were here, he would surely be astonished.

So soon there are "canned biological products"?

The players haven't entered yet.

The robot is operating the equipment. These people's brains are only the size of a fist, indicating that the owners of the brains are not very old.

The dean looked at the virtual screen directly opposite him.

On the screen, Gao Yuanyuan is leading a group of children in a game. "Clap once, I clap once, a child is on an airplane; clap twice, I clap twice, two children are making a phone call..."

The dean turned off the projector, and in reality, Gao Yuanyuan was lying on the operating table with biological tubes inserted into her head.

"Initiate consciousness upload," the dean said.

"The cyborg is not mature enough," one robot protested.

"I have the highest privileges."

The robot's eyes immediately changed from yellow to green.

"Execute your command!"

Almost the instant the dean spoke, the alarm on the first floor suddenly went off.

"The first layer of firewall for the Ghost Project has been breached."

"Transfer all the experimental data to my head."

The dean directly pulled off his wig, revealing the mechanically modified back of his head, from which a brain-computer interface slowly emerged.

The dean directly pulled up a connecting pipe and inserted it into the brain-computer interface.

The next moment, a torrent of data surged in, causing the dean's facial features to bleed and his whole body to tremble.

But the immense spiritual power surged wave after wave.

In reality, the senior engineer slowly put down the string of cockroaches and squinted his eyes.

"Why aren't you eating?" Uncle Jack asked.

"My stomach hurts, I need to poop."

The senior engineer walked back to his renovation shop, closed the door, and almost at the same moment, a large amount of data appeared in his eyes.

Hacking, separating the organism from its host body, and manipulating the host body—the senior engineer is essentially multitasking.

Through the Eye of Truth, he could sense that the spiritual power of the orphanage had suddenly surged, and not just any surge, but a surge at a rate of ten or even a hundred times.

We must change from multitasking to multitasking.

Only then can the situation be stabilized.
