Preaching

"This is the third deadly sin of the Metaverse."

Therefore, the body we use now is not our true body.

The beautiful young woman, Sun and Moon, with the gentlest smile, quietly looked at the thousands of residents before her.

The morning sun hangs on the horizon.

The entire Rebel Army force, unaware of anything amiss upon waking in the morning, immediately packed their bags and headed to a brand new border city to begin a new day of preaching.

As for Qin Yiguan and Jiu Zhengxuan, they seemed like two passersby, and no one cared where they went.

In this small city called B2133, the residents had just woken up when they were invited to the central square by a group of soldiers armed with real guns.

Although the soldiers were quite polite, none of the residents dared to raise any objections when they saw the beam weapons in their hands.

Friends.

"I wonder if any of you would like to join us?"

Sun and Moon stood in the very center of the city square, her long hair and white dress fluttering in the wind. She smiled, "Or rather, is there anyone who truly agrees with my thoughts?"

"I!"

But then a burly man in a police uniform raised his arm high and shouted, "I agree!"

Sun and Moon nodded and smiled at him, "I am happy for your sudden awakening."

The burly man then said with feigned trepidation, "I am truly weary of life in the Metaverse. Not only do I agree with your ideas, but I will also spend the time to persuade others, striving to bring the people of this small town to their senses as soon as possible!"

At that moment, a woman with an ordinary appearance, who appeared to be the man's wife, tugged at his arm.

The woman frowned and said, "What are you doing? We're living perfectly well here, and we've even had a child. Besides, as a police officer, how can you join these strange religions and believe that woman's bizarre claims? Is it just because she has a good figure and is pretty?"

"Shut up!"

The man scolded his wife in a low voice, then smiled respectfully and looked ahead, "Ms. Sun and Moon, please don't mind, I may need some more time."

Sun and Moon, understanding and very tolerant, nodded, her red lips parted slightly, about to say something.

Splat!

A soft, rotten tomato smashed into Sun and Moon's chest, its red juice dripping slowly down her blouse and staining her white gauze skirt red.

"This woman is simply a vixen!"

"Strange, rebellious remarks!"

"This is utterly deceptive and misleading!"

"Everyone throw her!"

Then, all sorts of rotten vegetable leaves and wine bottles were thrown into the center of the square.

A piece of green vegetable hit Sun and Moon on the forehead, and fragments of the vegetable instantly scattered, leaving green residue on Sun and Moon's hair.

Then a glass bottle hit her in the corner of her eye, causing it to become red and swollen, with some minor cuts and faint traces of blood seeping out.

The Rebel Army on both sides immediately rushed to Sun and Moon's side, shielding her with their bodies.

"It's fine."

Sun and Moon took two steps forward, facing the overwhelming garbage alone, his face devoid of anger. He smiled gently and said, "The world is so vast, and there are so many people, so there will be many opinions. But if suddenly an opinion arises that shakes the foundations of your hearts, shatters your comfortable lives, and makes you realize a truth you've never wanted to face... I believe no one can accept that in a short time."

Many residents at the scene looked on in surprise, caught in a slight stalemate, and paused in their actions.

I will come again.

The voice of the Sun and Moon remained calm and gentle, "I will slowly tell you everything, including my experiences and the true nature of this world. One day, you will change."

"We do not accept this!"

Because one person took the lead, the debris thrown from the crowd began to pile up everywhere.

The Sun and Moon left behind a smile.

Under the cover of the Guardian, she left the city. As she passed the city gate, she nodded and smiled at the Guardian and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

And at the scene.

The burly man in the police uniform was now drenched in sweat.

He frantically grabbed his wife, "Quick, let's go home and pack our bags!"

His wife asked, puzzled, "What are you doing!"

"Quick!"

"No time to explain!"

The glacial world of the North.

The animal-hide shack seemed isolated from the world. Outside, the cold wind howled, but inside, the charcoal fire flickered, releasing a faint warmth, and the tea was fragrant.

The man in the brown trench coat sipped hot tea; once the teapot was empty, he could simply wave his hand to refill it.

"You should know."

"The prototype of the Gemini Metaverse is an AR device; people who wear those specially designed glasses can see another world."

"But the real revolution in Metaverse technology began with Brain-Computer Interface."

The man in the trench coat placed his teacup on the table and said slowly, "Before Brain-Computer Interface, the Metaverse existed only in vision; only after Brain-Computer Interface does true interconnection of consciousness begin."

"From that time onward, people's consciousness truly 'detached' from their bodies."

"Subsequently, Brain-Computer Interface technology has been continuously upgraded, evolving into what we now Nutrient Pod."

"But."

"This is just a general timeline, the version that everyone knows."

The man in the trench coat poured tea for Qin Yiguan and his companion again. He remained calm and spoke slowly and deliberately.

For some reason, Qin Yiguan inexplicably trusted the man he had just met, feeling that his every word and action carried a certain ethereal height, and that he possessed enough patience to listen to him speak in detail.

"Uncle Zheng."

"I'd like some more tea too."

A cute Xiao Lu offers an empty cup from one side.

"You're still too young to drink so much tea."

As the man in the trench coat spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured it into the Xiao Lu's cup, but the liquid flowing from the spout changed from strong tea to clear water.

Immediately.

The man in the trench coat then looked at Qin Yiguan and the other man, "Brain-Computer Interface is a revolutionary technology, very complex. It requires opening the human skull, using nanoscale electronic sensors to contact the human brain nerves, and then collecting the human brain nerve signals, that is, collecting the human consciousness responses. After that, these signals are connected to the Metaverse, and it is a two-way connection. Information from the Metaverse is also fed back to the human brain through the Brain-Computer Interface."

But Jiu Zhengxuan suddenly asked, "You know a lot about Gemini's techniques?"

The man in the trench coat chuckled. "I have a family member who has also researched similar technology."

"In the early days of Brain-Computer Interface, the technology was quite immature."

But then the man in the trench coat's expression slowly turned serious. "One participant died, two were brain dead, and the three survivors suffered the same degree of brain damage, are delirious, and unable to care for themselves."

The core development team of Gemini Superbrain realized they had been too hasty.

"So they began animal experiments."

"And the subjects of the experiment were orangutans."

"After hundreds of orangutans died, a miracle occurred."

"An orangutan named Sun and Moon."

"Became the first being to fully upload their consciousness."
