Memory Anchor
Two zeros appeared in this database at the same time; there was one opposite the Bird of Paradise, and there was even another one at this conversion location.
Xiuyue's eye twitched violently.
He knew that this time he was probably going to fail.
"Number 0, the second number 0."
Leo muttered to himself, the old man's youthful memories suddenly flickering as if they were about to disappear at any moment.
"We must escape!"
Only this one thought popped into Xiuyue's mind.
The feeling he got from the other party was even more terrifying than the Big Data Conceptual Entity.
However, the next moment, the golden figure looked over coldly, and the golden hourglass in its left eye suddenly doubled in speed.
With just one glance, Xiuyue's data body instantly turned to ashes.
Outside of database 0.
The stand-in for Xiuyue's head rapidly cracked open, revealing a brain full of chips, each one a personality chip.
At this moment, the chips exploded one after another, leaving not a single one on his head.
Half of his head was blown off.
The remaining half of the chin suddenly opened its mouth, revealing no tongue; instead, a hidden chip was inserted into the base of the tongue.
The second circuit system in the human body started automatically after the head was destroyed. Soon, Xiu Yue's data body sat up from reality again, with data lights flashing. His emotions were quite turbulent.
"This zero is even stronger than the previous zero!"
If the previous "bottom" gave him a feeling similar to his irritable senior sister, then the "bottom" just now had reached a level he could not even imagine.
The last person whose strength he couldn't fully grasp was his minister.
"What should I do?" Xiuyue murmured to herself.
The death of a data clone does not cause much harm to the hacker's main body.
However, once you get involved with the 'Punk Killer's' bizarre abilities, the effects don't discriminate between the main body and the clones.
A look of deep hesitation flashed across Xiu Yue's face.
He always avoids situations that could endanger his life.
"Old man, it's not that your disciple doesn't want to save you, it's just that the enemy is too strong."
He doesn't plan to access this database anymore.
However, he didn't leave. He planned to hack into the clones of Paradise Bird and Ahong to warn them, lest those two idiots court death.
However, when he tried to hack in, a special force stopped him.
"You'd better not disturb them," a soft voice said.
Xiu Yue turned around and found a girl in white standing at the entrance of Database 0, facing the door without turning her head.
Xiuyue could not sense the slightest signal from the other party, not even the presence of a living person.
A female ghost?
Such a thought popped into Xiuyue's mind.
"It's not a good idea to talk badly about girls."
Another voice rang in Xiuyue's mind.
"I'm sorry, but please tell me why we can't remind them?" Xiu Yue's face once again showed her signature fake smile.
"Because the entire 0 database is the physical body of that 0. If you transmit a message through it, not only these two will know, but he will also know."
Gao Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Unless, you don't want to save your master anymore."
"You seem to know us very well?" Xiu Yue's smile became slightly stiff.
"In fact, I have been observing you ever since you went in."
"Could I know their current situation?"
The mysterious girl opposite nodded, waved her hand gently, and the next moment, countless holographic images flashed out.
Bird of Paradise fought several battles with the first Zero, finally forcing him to retreat, while Ah Hong appeared with an elderly punk.
Upon seeing this punk rocker, Xiu Yue's pupils contracted.
The Bird of Paradise's face also flashed with excitement, but before the old man could say two words, his face suddenly froze. He looked in astonishment at the direction of the 'Transformation Land', and his whole body disintegrated again, turning back into electronic ashes.
"It seems that the death of that memory data entity named 'Leo' will also be a fatal blow to him."
Gao Yuanyuan said thoughtfully.
Then the scene looked like it had been sped up several times.
After arguing for a while, Bird of Paradise and Ah Hong finally decided to avenge the old man.
They arrived at the "Land of Transformation," but this transformation site was quite different from the one Xiuyue had just seen.
Without the "Golden River" and the golden figure, Number 0 stood on the altar, surrounded by bound people, including members of other "Punk Families," such as the "Information Liberation Front members" that Xiu Yue had seen.
Then, Number 0 initiated the transformation ceremony.
Then, the ground began to turn into a large number of white snowflakes, and the "Golden Avalanche" surged out. Another golden figure, Number 0, appeared and, without saying a word, began to attack Number 0.
Both sides had mastered the power of "Avalanche," but the golden figure's power was clearly superior to that of Number 0, and it was also very effective at countering it. Soon, the golden figure grabbed the other's neck and absorbed Number 0. The two Number 0s completely merged into one, and a man with a cold face fully appeared. In a flash, he appeared in front of the two, Bird of Paradise and his companion. With his hands outstretched, an endless golden avalanche engulfed the two.
Even the third-order information flame created by the Bird of Paradise gradually weakened during the avalanche until it was completely destroyed.
The power of the "Civilization Poison Core" is one of the few means that can be used to fight against higher-level civilizations.
"Are they dead?"
"Yes, he's dead," Gao Yuanyuan said softly.
Xiu Yue was stunned for a moment, her feelings complicated.
"You're one of Minister Gao's people, aren't you?" Xiu Yue quickly regained her composure. "Now that the mission has failed, what do we do next?"
Gao Yuanyuan gave him a strange look, as if to say, "What a stupid question you asked."
"The mission hasn't even started yet, how can it be called a failure?"
With a flash of purple light, the chief engineer of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division appeared. Besides him, there was a tall, sexy, and elegant lady with long legs, and a girl in a suit covered in tattoos who exuded a terrifying aura. Behind the girl stood more than twenty figures. The faces of the figures could not be seen, but each of them had a terrifying aura, and encrypted data flowed on their bodies.
Upon seeing these encrypted data streams, Xiu Yue's pupils contracted sharply.
He naturally knew Minister Gao.
That noble lady, judging from her appearance, looked very much like the Black Rose, who ruled most of the android world and was also called the Great Dictator by some.
The girl who looked crazy and had bright red stitches on her lips gave him the feeling that she was no less intense than the bottom.
The moment these three appeared, their aura seemed to create one world after another; even he, a data being, felt a strong sense of suffocation.
"Minister Gao."
The senior engineer smiled and looked at the other person, "I'll need to trouble you to revise the past."
"I do not understand."
"You'll understand."
Xiuyue was stunned and hadn't reacted yet when suddenly something seemed to appear under her feet. Looking down, she saw a long black roll of film, and her foot was stepping on a section of it.
Gao Gong, Black Rose, and Gaokesi —three massive Honkai forces—simultaneously poured into Gao Yuanyuan's body. The next moment, the videotape began to replay frantically, starting from Xiu Yue leaving Database 0, scene after scene, finally freezing on an early image.
That was the electronic urn on the bird of paradise undergoing an anomaly, suddenly collapsing, and a boy named Leo appeared.
The boy looked at the three of them curiously and asked, "Are you here for transformation too?"
Bird of Paradise and Ah Hong were both surprised because the boy looked so much like their master when he was young.
Xiu Yue, standing beside her, couldn't even suppress the shock on her face.
He had seen this scene before!
"Brother, using a half-rewind system is really tiring," Gao Yuanyuan said to the engineer in a coquettish tone.
The senior engineer immediately gave the other person a gentle pat on the head, which made the other person squint in pleasure. Mr. G's skills were not only good for mature women, but also for young girls.
Gaokesi grimaced, clearly displeased.
What the hell!
"It's a pity that this rewind system can't be used in reality, otherwise it would be invincible," Black Rose said with a sigh, looking at the broken hacker-specific android on the ground.
"Time rewinding is something that lower-level civilizations can't even consider," the senior engineer shook his head. "Being able to restart the database using half of the rewind system largely depends on Gao Yuanyuan's own big data computing capabilities."
"Won't Number 0 find out if we do this?" Gaokesi asked abruptly.
"If we go in, we'll most likely be discovered, but if we don't go in, we won't be discovered. The power of the 'Civilization Poison Core' isn't omnipotent."
The senior engineer looked at Gao Yuanyuan and asked another question, "Then how can there be two zeros?"
Even he, who had planned this for some time, was somewhat surprised by this news.
Gao Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said:
"It's probably somewhat similar to my relationship with Gaokesi."
She no longer hides the fact that she has two personalities.
"According to my brother, the consciousness of Number 0 was sealed inside the fortress, while his body became a virus repository in cyberspace."
"Without a soul, a body is like a walking corpse. Its head can only instinctively piece together past memories. Over time, a new 'Zero' appears in the memory. It absorbs the power of the electronic virus and tries to conceive a new 'Avalanche'."
Gaokesi frowned, clearly having thought of something.
"If that's all there is to it, then this Number 0 will still only live in his memories, because his subjective consciousness is very strong," Gao Yuanyuan paused for a moment and said, "However, the electronic urn that Brother asked Sister He to bring played a very crucial role, because in his memories, there is such a person involved, and this person still exists in reality."
The senior engineer understood somewhat.
"So you mean that if he completes the transformation ritual involving three masters, using the 'masters' as an anchor, he can return from his memories to reality, similar to uploading consciousness, only it's the other way around."
"Yes, brother is very smart."
