Digital Lives Like Blades of Grass
My name is Dong Xi.
"Coming from the East."
A man in his early twenties, dressed in a bright red casual outfit, pointed to his red jacket and said with a smile, "Bringing you some joy."
And the place he was in at this moment was none other than the Digital Human city called ' Last Paradise,' hidden deep within the Experimental Zone.
The tall man standing in front of him was the captain of the Guardian of the Last Paradise, the Ying Hao who had invited Qin Yiguan to drink at the bar, and was known for his extremely generous and enthusiastic personality.
But the Ying Hao's expression turned hostile. "Humans are not welcome here. Please leave immediately!"
The red-clad man who called himself Dong Xi remained unmoved. He gently raised his hand, and a huge photograph appeared in the sky. The photograph was more than ten kilometers long and wide. It must have been projected by a very powerful holographic projection device. The image it projected was so huge that all the residents of the entire Last Paradise could see it clearly.
Ying Hao slowly looked up and saw that the photo showed an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy wearing a black jacket, with slightly long hair and a somewhat gloomy expression.
Ignoring the heavily armed guards around them, Dong Xi laughed and asked, "Have you seen this person before?"
Ying Hao frowned slightly.
The person in the photo looks a lot like Qin Yiguan, but not exactly. His facial features seem to be based on Qin Yiguan's appearance, with some subtle adjustments.
Regardless of whether this person was Qin Yiguan or not, Ying Hao didn't want to waste any more words with this human in front of him. "I'll say it again, humans are not welcome here. Please leave immediately!"
Dong Xi smiled and said, "I'm just looking for a young man named Qin Yiguan. Tell me if you've seen him, and I'll leave. We'll all be fine."
At this point, Ying Hao was certain that the person the other party was looking for was his brother Qin.
But Qin Yiguan and his brother are members of our Digital Human, so naturally we have to help him conceal his whereabouts!
Just as Ying Hao was about to speak...
The man in red, Dong Xi, waved his hand. "I know what you're going to say. Shut up."
Immediately.
Dong Xi turned around and scanned the enormous Last Paradise. Inside the many buildings around him were various Digital Human, all looking at him with fear in their eyes.
Dong Xi spoke, his voice inexplicably amplified, echoing throughout the city, "And you? Has anyone seen Qin Yiguan?"
Before.
The entire city welcomed Qin Yiguan 'Qin Yiguan arrival, and everyone had heard of his name.
Now.
Dong Xi's questioning echoed through the city, but no one answered.
Digital Human are very united and would never betray their brothers and sisters.
Dong Xi's smile gradually faded.
But then Ying Hao stepped forward and said, "The equipment you're wearing is quite technologically advanced, so you should be able to tell that our city's technology level is also quite high. My advice is to disappear immediately to avoid any unforeseen consequences."
"Hehe."
Dong Xi laughed again, "Your technological level is high, but so what? Your essence is nothing more than the lowest level of Digital Human. The first thing I broke through with my ' Technological Singularity ' was your Digital Human's underlying code. So, in my eyes, you are not even ants."
In that instant.
Dong Xi's face changed, becoming completely devoid of emotion. He lowered his head slightly, "Super Virtual Machine."
A blue barrier formed by digital code spread out from his body, instantly enveloping the entire Last Paradise.
Then, Dong Xi calmly looked at Ying Hao and said, "Disrupt their code."
But then they saw the Ying Hao's body begin to disintegrate.
Strands of hair fell out, scattering into code; the skin on her face seemed to begin to dissolve, turning into a viscous liquid that dripped to the ground before evaporating back into code.
His pale blue eyeballs rolled out of their sockets, shattering like glass marbles as they hit the ground, turning into code.
"You..."
Ying Hao's voice was filled with pain, but before he could continue speaking, all the flesh and blood in his body dissipated into code, leaving only a skeleton standing on the ground.
Then the skeleton seemed to dissipate like ashes, turning into code and vanishing into the air.
The camera angle is raised.
Centered on Dong Xi, it was as if a death energy was being released, sweeping across the entire Last Paradise.
All the residents first stiffened slightly, and then, with expressions of pain and despair, their bodies gradually transformed into code.
This deathly light also spread to the edge of the city, covering the small temple on the hillside.
Master 563, who was sitting in front of Shitian, was just tapping the wooden fish and sharing his insights. But now, his prayer beads fell to the ground, and he turned into dust.
The entire Last Paradise became eerily quiet in an instant.
The buildings are still there, as are all the technological devices, but all the residents have vanished.
"Super Virtual Machine."
"Search for native life forms."
Within 10 seconds of Dong Xi giving the order, the Super Virtual Machine provided him with feedback.
--This city is now devoid of any native life forms.
"It seems Qin Yiguan really isn't here."
Dong Xi shrugged. "Speaking of which, slaughtering Digital Human is really boring; there's not a single festive red to be seen."
immediately.
Dong Xi's body slowly rose into the air, but above the clouds, he saw the 'information cocoon' that imprisoned Bishamonten.
"Um?"
How come there's a Virtual Machine here?
Dong Xi frowned, slowly approaching, and through the rapidly flashing code, he could see Bishamonten inside. "Oh? It's you."
But then Bishamonten clenched his fists and roared, "Why did you kill all the Digital Human!"
"Oh?"
Dong Xi laughed and said, "Why are you so righteous in accusing me? Aren't we doing the same thing? You're following your teacher's orders to find Qin Yiguan, and I'm following my teacher's orders to find Qin Yiguan. We're both carrying out our teachers' tasks, just with slightly different methods."
Bishamonten angrily rebuked, "You Red-Clothed Devil, you have a kind face and claim to bring joy, but your heart is full of cruelty and bloodlust. I am different from you, don't compare us!"
Dong Xi tilted his head and smiled innocently, "My teacher instructed me that although your teacher is a good-for-nothing, he's still my teacher's older brother. Taking on a student isn't easy, and he didn't want your teacher's lineage to end. He's always told us to keep to ourselves. Before, when we met, we just observed each other from afar without any conflict. What's wrong with you today? Saying such unpleasant... truths?!"
Bishamonten gritted his teeth and said, "Dong Xi, I've put up with you for far too long."
But then the man in red chuckled and said, "What a coincidence, I've been putting up with you for a long time too!"
Immediately.
Dong Xi narrowed his eyes, scanning the information cocoon surrounding Bishamonten. "You do have some self-awareness, knowing that your Virtual Machine can't compete with my super Virtual Machine, so you made a shell for yourself and hid inside?"
"It's useless."
Dong Xi erupted in fury, "Today I'm prepared to disobey my master's orders and torture you to death, you clown!"
"Super Virtual Machine, Encapsulation!"
At this moment, Dong Xi's Virtual Machine expanded Infinity, encompassing Bishamonten's information cocoon within it. "Super Virtual Machine, Overload, Shatter!"
But then, countless spikes formed from blue code appeared from all directions, moving at great speed and carrying immense power, constantly piercing the information cocoon!
Dong Xi's eyes grew increasingly bloodshot, his expression increasingly distorted, "Super Virtual Machine, Edge Empowerment!"
In that instant.
Countless ultra-thin guillotines made of code appeared in the sky. These guillotines were so thin that they were almost invisible, as if they could cut anything in half at the atomic level!
