"Is the demon sleeping again?"
Now he could tell who was talking to him - ever since Xie Shouzhen took over the faith cultivation in Kuala Lumpur, the development speed of many "religious groups" had far exceeded that of the past.
And these "tributaries" will all converge together.
……
Chapter 255 Induction (Part )
……
……
"Well, the frequency of falling asleep is increasing. As for the reason, only he knows."
……
A brief silence: Xin hoped to meet the Hexadecimal Supreme Heavenly Demon instead of the person in front of him, Xie Shouzhen. He knew that it would be difficult for him and Xie Shouzhen to reach a consensus on their needs.
But he spoke again:
"It's very likely that the boss needs his 'body' to enter 'Incubation', and the sooner the better. I feel like he could be in danger that he can't handle at any time."
Xie Shouzhen also looked at him—then let out a sigh that sounded like a sneer:
"If there's nothing else, I'll be back first, okay?"
……
"How did we get to this point again..."
The current Kuala Lumpur is generally managed by Jie Shouzhen and Tianmo. As for the future of Kuala Lumpur - in fact, the entire New Malaysia - New Malaysia is the one who has the least idea.
Large human settlements were beyond his comprehension, even for him who had regained his life. Of course, Shin didn't care.
Where Kuala Lumpur and the New Malaysia will go is none of his business. The people he is worried about are not in the New Malaysia now.
"No... I alone can't do it. Should I force him to submit?"
Shin placed his thumb on the back of his neck and rubbed it - this was the only part of his body that had undergone serious reconstruction surgery. He touched the protruding joints of the spine: the hard bones were wrapped in soft and warm skin, and the feel was as familiar as the long knife in the past.
but……
He knew very well that the sharp blade was meaningless to the man in front of him. Even if he smashed the pair of glittering glasses or cut off the man's head, he could not really hurt Xie Shouzhen.
The man hidden behind the shining lenses also knew this: in fact, the composite martial arts spine that had recently been implanted in his new back to replace his former sword also contained part of the technical solution provided by Xie Shouzhen.
Shin once again evaluated... Will this man kneel under the pressure of swords and gunfire?
"will not."
The Gray King followers who were sent down were just some of the dandruff in the bodies of Xie Shouzhen and Tianmo Lianzhu, which could be easily shaken off. Even if this body was shredded, Xie Shouzhen might not be angry with Xin - he would understand that this was just a more intense complaint.
A threat that cannot be fulfilled is meaningless.
……
So he moved his hand away from the back of his neck.
He suddenly raised his arms, exaggeratedly reaching toward the sky, adding weight to his words:
"Let's talk about something else first. I have some ideas that I hope you can consider."
Xin chose another direction. During the days in the city, he learned from the people around him that there are many ways to solve problems, and knives and guns are not the only weapons.
"……you say."
In response, Xie Shouzhen took a step forward and leaned forward. He seemed to be interested in what Arata was about to say - after all, few people had seen Arata act like he was about to speak eloquently.
Snapped!
Xin suddenly clapped his hands together and pointed his index fingers at Li Shouzhen. This action was somewhat funny and playful, but because it was abrupt, it attracted more attention from others:
"You still have to get the hatch ready."
"Hmm..." Xie Shouzhen raised his eyebrows high, beyond the frame; "You still don't understand--"
"No, you don't understand."
Shin stood up, spit out the bubble gum in his mouth, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket:
“Kuala Lumpur now has a blank space without any intervention from companies – because they are worried. No one should understand this better than you: due to the disaster, other business groups don’t know how much resources they should invest in Kuala Lumpur before they can get it…”
He searched his head for the terms he had heard from others: most of them, Xin didn't really understand - and this even made him stutter.
"How dangerous is it? Will the investment you make really not end up in vain?"
Gradually, his pauses became less and less. What seemed empty and meaningless to Xin flowed out of his mouth like flowing water:
"What if we invest too little and repeat the mistakes of the Microcomputer Taoism Research Society? What if we bet too much and other opponents take advantage of us? You know best how important cost, benefit, and return are."
This was the first time that Xin had given such a long speech—his words were rough, but he thought there was nothing wrong with the direction of his content:
“But these hesitations have a time limit. They will not continue indefinitely, leaving Kuala Lumpur completely empty: how long is this time limit?”
"If we can bring the 'body' to Luzon for incubation... at least, we can have a lot more room and time to turn around."
"Otherwise, everything is just a wait and see."
Xie Shouzhen turned his head slightly and crossed his arms over his chest. For a moment, Xin felt that he was really moved by him - but the answer came quickly:
"Mr. Xin, you are right. But... according to your opinion, we should stay here. The hatching must also be carried out in Kuala Lumpur."
He tapped the frame upwards and came to a conclusion that was the exact opposite of what he had come to.
“Other companies will come, and — not too far away. But, but! We are not trying to set up a brand new company in Kuala Lumpur and monopolize the market: we just need to ensure that we can continue to exist when they come.”
"So... the next generation of 'New God' that is hatched must stay in Kuala Lumpur so that we can have some bargaining chips. You don't know what functions the hatched 'He' will have, and I don't know either..."
“But the most frightening thing is a gun that is not pulled on the trigger. Bringing ‘Him’ to Luzon will only make everyone see how little power ‘Him’ has. At that time, all companies that want to extend their hands to the new Malaysia will see how weak we are.”
Xie Shouzhen put his fingers behind the lenses and rubbed his eyes:
"I understand your desire. But Mr. Fang and I don't have a very deep friendship: we were enemies most of the time we met. Of course, even if he and I had a deep affection for each other... I would not give up my rationality because of this relationship."
"Before, I didn't support his action to go to Luzon. If it weren't for the coffin... that thing left here would be a time bomb. Anyway--"
"Wait a moment."
Xin suddenly interrupted Li Shouzhen's unfinished words. He turned around and faced the other person with his back:
"Which one do you think is more destructive and lethal, the hatched 'God' or the boss in the coffin?"
……
……
Chapter 256 Induction (IV)
……
……
"..."
Xin did not feel any changes in Jie Shouzhen's physical signs, but the silence and pause were the message. Xin's connection with the double helix tree and the out-of-control immortality path was no secret among these people.
After a while, Xie Shouzhen answered the question with a question:
"What are you implying?"
……
"If I told you..."
"I have an idea of how to wake the thing in the coffin up."
……
As soon as Xin finished speaking, he saw a long shadow stretching out from under his feet - that was the light that suddenly burst out from behind him. Xie Shouzhen's glasses burst into a dazzling light that could hurt people's eyes as he was surprised.
There was also a slight snapping sound: that was the sound of fingers rubbing the eyelids hard.
Xin was silent. The wind blew past him, stirring up swirling sand; and finally, he heard the answer he wanted:
"Well, let's take a gamble." Xie Shouzhen's voice was very tired; "I'll go prepare the incubation node and transportation."
Snap, Snap... the sound of hard soles hitting gravel could be heard; Xie Shouzhen did not stop going down, and just like that, his body with the gray hat slowly left in a new opposite direction:
"You should also hurry up and prepare...if you don't want to die without a burial place."
Xin did not look back, nor did he answer. He just walked down the slope and down the hill of ruins.
"Hmm... this should have worked."
He wondered quietly in his heart.
……
Leaving behind the gray-hat believers that Hae Soo-jin had led, Shin walked towards home along the path that had been opened up after the disaster.
This is a long road that has been haphazardly cleared of broken cement and steel bars, and filled with gaps; it meanders around the ruins of buildings that have not yet been demolished. On both sides of the road are collapsed and broken buildings, crawling in the dead land like the corpse of a giant.
But Xin knew that this was not the true appearance of Kuala Lumpur at this moment. He inserted his fingers into his ears and opened the third eye attached to his body.
No new spirit/flesh protocol has yet to settle into the void that is the capital of the new Malaysia, so the citizens of Kuala Lumpur can add color to the digital space as madly as they want.
If you look through the eyes of heaven, Kuala Lumpur is even more gorgeous than yesterday——
When you raise your eyes again, you can see the new creation in the center, located in the narrow gap between digital space and reality:
The tall tower that has sprung up in the past few months but has not yet been named.
The tower is somewhat like an upside-down bell, with its base placed on a pedestal made of vows and mantras. The bottom layer has no clear visible shape, but blends in with the base like water and milk, rising and falling slightly.
From the bottom up, the towers gradually narrowed into cones, and on the edges that stretched out from the layers, there were various idols and inscriptions hanging, with wind chimes in their mouths. The towers stretched upward, and their apex was infinite—until at the highest point in the narrow space, only a particle-like black dot remained on the top of the towers.
No matter how far you look at the tower, its size remains the same: as long as you are within the confines of Kuala Lumpur, the tower occupies the narrow center between the real world and the Internet.
Around the tower, believers were densely packed - but their numbers also fluctuated with the network environment, making them like waves around reefs. The believers were not limited to Kuala Lumpur, and those network residents from further afield also came after hearing the news.
Monks came from the east, priests came from the west, ascetics came from the north, and sorcerers came from the south.
Some believers recite the fire-digging mantra and enter into the kundalini samadhi, transmitting their thoughts into the tower; some believers practice yoga and inner alchemy outside the tower, trying to gain some induction in the tower and in their own information bodies.
It was their great wishes and the computing power they devoted sincerely that built this tall golden tower, a blend of Buddha and Taoist towers, and even a bit of the style of the Church of Abraham, in the narrow space between numbers and reality.
It is not the old saint who crawled out of the information abyss, but the new god who was born in the new era network. No one can resist the temptation to follow him when he was born. In fact, the more practitioners understand how the world works, the more they can see how many opportunities are hidden in it that can make people soar to the sky.
This is one of the reasons why Kuala Lumpur, which lost most of its original population and infrastructure, was able to rebuild so quickly - perhaps the most important reason.
In time, a brand new giant will be born in Kuala Lumpur - a new company, an enterprise. But it will not be a Qigong association like the Microcomputer Taoism Research Association in the past:
In its place, there will be a group built around this god with many names. And Kuala Lumpur will become a Jerusalem in ruins.
New eyes raised:
In this city where everything is in ruins, only a handful of people know the true names behind the "Gray King", "Great Mysterious Lord" and "Old Dream God".
He was a man who had been silent for a hundred years and then woke up. He had only one name.
Even though they were 2,500 kilometers apart, Xin could still vaguely sense the situation of that "human head" -
This induction is not from those mysterious night talks or urban legends, but from the "legacy" of the Xihe girl. Before she was destroyed, the Xihe girl spread out a flesh and blood network composed of pure biological tissues, covering Kuala Lumpur: and many of the "optical cables" imitated by the nervous system even extended beyond Kuala Lumpur and connected and intertwined with pipelines deep under the sea.
Xin's current body comes from Fang Bailu who was taught the way to immortality.
This makes them share this vague but effective network of flesh and blood.
……
As they were almost home, Xin closed his third eye.
He specially went out of Bukit Bintang to pick up a few bags of seasoned fairy beast meat jerky.
They are sealed in transparent vacuum bags, soaked in juice, with simple flavor labels on the outside: coconut milk, lemon, mint, snail meat... The ones that survived are all unpopular products that have been stored away.
The meat of the fairy beast, which is already tough and even tastes like rubber, is baked and dehydrated, and then topped with a nutrient solution that is no longer convenient to eat and serves as a seasoning sauce. It is hard to say how pleasant the experience is for the taste buds: but this is already a new product in the food industry in Kuala Lumpur.
If the disaster had not occurred, the cooked products of the immortal beast meat would not have flowed into the city due to the disappearance of the company. They were originally strange foods that only the wild people would eat.
