The first ray of dawn broke through the clouds and fell on the huge buildings in the city. Everywhere it went, it was covered in golden light.
With the sound of a gurgling stream, Lu Ye, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the alarm clock. He narrowed his sleepy eyes, and the projection of the waterfall on the ceiling gradually dispersed, turning into a screen that showed the time at 7:30.
Lu Ye stood up and walked to the curtains. The curtains automatically opened to both sides, revealing a full-length glass window. The wide field of view between the tall buildings instantly came into view. He could see the blue sky without looking up, and the sun was just right today, making Lu Ye feel a little happier. After all, he still had important things to do today.
"Is Little Ye awake? Breakfast is ready in the kitchen. I heard from your brother that today is your first day of training. We all hope that everything goes well for you.”
His mother's message was automatically broadcasted. Lu Ye followed the source of the voice and glanced at the bedside table. There was a family portrait on it. It was the first day he became an intern in the security department last year. The photo was taken by his family at the entrance of the security department. In the photo, Luther was wearing the blue and white uniform exclusive to the head of the guard department. He looked very handsome, while his parents were dressed in official uniforms. The whole family looked happy and harmonious.
However, the moment Lu Ye saw the photo, his face suddenly darkened.
Ever since he was sensible, his parents had been as strict with him as his brother Luther. He would always be the first. Now, his brother was considered to have made a name for himself. At such a young age, he had become the head of the city guard department. Under his parents 'expectations, he would follow Luther's footsteps and become the youngest member of the city guard department.
Of course, Lu Ye also knew why his parents were so strict with them. All parents in the world were the same. They all had the painstaking effort to hope for their children to become successful. Moreover, as a celebrity family in the city, they would naturally receive more attention than ordinary people. He also had the obligation to improve himself and maintain the reputation of his family.
But occasionally, he would also envy others. While others envied him for having a rich material life, they secretly envied the freedom of others.
At 8:30, all the interns from the guard department who had participated in the training that day had gathered. Looking around, Lu Ye's height was not outstanding in the crowd, because he was only seventeen years old, not even an adult. To be able to stand here at the age of seventeen, it was no exaggeration to say that he was already a rare genius.
After the roll call, the teacher began to explain the content of today's training. It was mainly to recover the code of the cyborgs with data errors in the community. After the explanation, the teacher added that the guard department would send a mysterious figure to personally lead them through this training.
Lu Ye was not interested in the theoretical knowledge that his teacher had just mentioned because under his brother's supervision, he could even recite it backwards. However, when he thought about the practical training later, he still felt a little excited. At that moment, he finally seemed to be interested in this course.
The group took four airships to the target community. The airships flew above the city, and when they reached the warp point, a white vortex suddenly appeared in the air. After the pilot confirmed the coordinates, the airships instantly passed through the vortex and entered a white warp tunnel.
Before they arrived at their destination, the teacher explained in advance that the place they were going to was a closed cyborg community. It was not open to the outside world, and there were no real people inside. It was all cyborgs, and the purpose of this community was mainly to study the artificial intelligence system of cyborgs.
As the white light around the airship dissipated, the airship also passed through the warp tunnel and arrived at its destination. The mysterious person Luther, Lu Ye's brother, who was also the head of the guard department, had been waiting there for a long time.
-
Wei Guanqing lay on the floor with his arms crossed. His eyes were lifeless as he looked at the ceiling above him. The ceiling was fluctuating in a strange manner. The time and space outside the window seemed to have gone out of control. Even the furniture around him was showing a strange phenomenon.
Lu Ye looked up at the chaotic space-time above his head. It was like an aurora. He knew that this was a scene caused by a code error. However, other than him, everyone else was staring at Luther with admiration and envy.
Luther did not make any opening remarks. He only glanced at the crowd, nodded, and began to understand the situation from his colleague who answered the call.
"How long has this been going on?" Luther asked.
" About two weeks," replied the small communicator in his ear.
Luther connected to the community system, and the situation of the entire community was transmitted to him. At present, the other cyborgs in the community had been removed, leaving only the apartment building in front of him. Of course, other than Wei Guanqing, there was no one else.
Sensing that something was wrong, Luther asked everyone to return to the airship first. The screen in the airship would also broadcast the following scene in real-time.
Wei Guanqing suddenly sat up in shock when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He shouted uneasily,"Who's outside!"
The door opened automatically, and Luther walked towards the bedroom. At the door of the bedroom lay the remains of the laptop that Wei Guanqing had broken. Luther bent down to pick it up and activated the repair system. When he put it back on the table, the laptop had already been reborn.
Wei Guanqing stared at all of this with his mouth agape. His shock and uneasiness made him feel at a loss.
"Stowaways!" Luther said.
"What…what do you mean?" Wei Guanqing wasn't sure if Luther was talking about him.
Luther walked to the window and pulled open the curtains, revealing the chaotic space outside.
"No identity, no source code in the database. If you're not a stowaway, then what are you?”
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? What code? What are stowaways?”Wei Guanqing was confused.
Luther had seen many people who had illegally entered the New World, but the Wei Guanqing in front of him seemed a little different. He looked more like a lost person.
Luther activated the scanning system and scanned Wei Guanqing from head to toe. However, a mechanical voice sounded in his ear, indicating that the source code was unknown. If the source code could not be scanned, it meant that it could not be directly recycled. This kind of situation was usually the most troublesome.
"You know that this is a virtual community, right?”Luther asked.
Wei Guanqing's expression became even more confused. He looked at Luther blankly, as if what awaited him was a fantasy.
"Do you think this is the real world? The world that was destroyed in 2058?”
"I…"
Wei Guanqing had just opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. The world in front of him suddenly became extremely unfamiliar. During this period of time, he even thought that he was living in a dream, but he could not wake up.
Luther couldn't tell if Wei Guanqing really knew nothing. He searched the database repeatedly, but he couldn't find any records of Wei Guanqing. No one knew when Wei Guanqing had appeared here, nor did they know when he had started to influence this community.
"This isn't real, is it?" Wei Guanqing asked slowly.
"Which one of them is true? Was it the truth in front of him or the truth of the world?”
Seeing that he was silent again, Luther suddenly snapped his fingers. The ceiling, walls, furniture, and everything else in the apartment instantly disappeared, leaving only the aurora-like chaotic sky above them.
"You still believe that this is true?" Luther asked.
"Who are you? Are you God?"
Hearing Wei Guanqing's words, Luther laughed out loud. There wasn't a hint of sarcasm in his voice. It was a genuine smile." The term 'God' is a little outdated.”
