Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

The originally disorganized text, which sounded like the ravings of a fool, now contained new chaotic content and strange symbols:

“—— Well, well, well, take refuge, take refuge, take refuge in the Three Jewels, Three Jewels, Three Jewels 卍卍卍卍卍卍卍Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana——”

Somos no longer used her hands to hold Zhaojizi's neck tightly; the gilded light seemed to be tangible, gushing out from her three faces like a column of water; the kind maternal face that was attached to Zhaojizi's ear, in every whisper, was filled with Sanskrit sounds like the chanting of thousands of people.

Ugh—wow!

Suddenly, the face of the young girl in the center of Somos suddenly opened her mouth wide: what gushed out from her empty eye sockets and mouth was no longer salty tears and gentle words, but pure golden holographic light, shining in front like a searchlight.

Erni could clearly see the tiny but repetitive movements of Somos's right hand as it was removed from Zhaojizi's neck:

The five fingers seemed to be twitching, constantly curling up and huddling together like chicken claws, and then suddenly straightening up with trembling; the cycle repeats itself.

Only Erni understood what Somos was doing. She wanted to put her hands together - this was a sign that the Buddhist virus had invaded Somos's prosthesis.

……

Did you win?

It seemed that with Erni's knife, the Buddhist virus finally invaded the sea of ​​consciousness of Tsomashi, and was transmitted to Zhao Jizi through the connection between them.

but……

"Too...too slow..."

Erni could no longer stand, and she slid down the ring-handled sword and fell to her knees: She found that even though she thought she had made all the considerations, she still underestimated the Somos - or rather, she underestimated the strength of the other party's sea of ​​consciousness restriction.

……

……

Chapter 280: Eighth Day of Injustice (Thirteen)

……

……

Erni wanted to move her body a little, but fatigue and severe pain made her stop.

There was no sign of entering a state of nirvana and becoming unconscious; the soul did not leave the body and abandon the shell to travel the digital ocean, diving into the depths to find the pure land that was nowhere to be found; there was no sign of actively splitting the three souls and seven spirits, compressing them into multiple sub-packets and uploading them in pursuit of bliss - the Buddhist virus was suppressed by Somos in a state of being about to break out, but it just looked terrifying.

She originally thought that before, Tsomashi always used the magical warfare as a disguise and deterrent, and was not a real cyber warfare expert. But after directly establishing the conversion agreement, he was able to forcefully maintain his mental clarity... This was enough to show how powerful Tsomashi's Yin God was.

Even still retaining the ability to move, only showing the initial signs of conversion - although already fully devoted to the Buddha, but still retaining ambition and murderous intent. Complete conversion, completely disintegrating the other party's consciousness and combat effectiveness requires time.

Eventually, Somos will completely escape from the world of mortals and no longer have any connection with the real world or the surface of the Internet: it just takes a while.

Ten minutes? Fifteen minutes? Erni didn't know.

But... they were not that far away from Erni: less than twenty meters, even an ordinary person only needed a few steps to walk there; and even if the Buddhist virus was transmitted from Somos to Zhao Jizi's soul, it would not affect his prosthetic functions.

In other words - before Erni wins, she may face complete failure and destruction.

……

Click, click, click.

There was a little more sluggishness, a little more confusion and slowness; but Zhaojizi started moving again - as a peripheral device controlled by the Tsomos link, the Quanyiti Qigong practitioner was just like a mortal who had just woken up from a big dream.

But a strange phenomenon happened before he moved:

Tsomashi suddenly shook his head left and right as if moving his neck joints, then changed to moving it up and down, cycling back and forth between the two modes; the frequency became faster and faster - so fast that the edge of his head became blurred and distorted in the view of the onlookers...

Until the pattern completely disappeared, she just shook her head randomly at a speed far beyond the limit of human beings; it seemed that that was not her soul, but the feces on her body. Because it was too dirty, she dared not brush it away with her hands, and could only shake it off with violent movements.

Like a shaking/nodding doll that was damaged but not completely scrapped - at the same time, bright yellow beams of light burst out from her three faces and twenty-one acupoints and danced with violent movements, making the scene before her eyes become more like an absurd and bizarre deep dream.

Master Huang Wu was leaping at the edge of the battlefield, apparently hesitating whether he should intervene and take the incapacitated Erni away from the scene because of Somos's transformation.

But this slight hesitation destroyed Erni's only escape window.

Erni only felt the coldness all over her body, and the sweat on her back was blown away by the wind, taking away the heat from her body:

Although the signs seem violent and crazy, they actually prove that Somos has still suppressed the Buddhist virus in the early stages of infection - when it really penetrates into the soul, Somos should prefer "stillness" rather than the current "movement".

……

"Buddhism virus" is just a nickname given by Erni to the Trojan in Fodao. In the comments of the code line, its official name is "72 Seconds to Nirvana and Eternal Ascension to Paradise":

Once infected by it in the spirit/flesh agreement, one should become dull and calm; change the posture of the mind in silence, then leave the body, and transform from a human being to a Buddha in the tide of information - eventually, one's dull mind will completely collapse because of the lack of initiation, merit-refining techniques, or other means to enhance enlightenment.

If the "Seventy-two Seconds to Nirvana and Eternal Bliss Sutra" is linked to the target and injected into it... unless it is a natural human body without any interfaces, and maintains zero percent Buddha affinity; otherwise there is no way to stop the enlightenment process between man and Buddha and reach a complete transformation.

……

Hey!

The horrifying scene lasted only a breath, and Erni only had time to recall a related memory.

With a crisp sound, the swaying stopped. Somos's head froze suddenly, and the empty eye sockets on her "Di Ge" mask were aimed at Erni.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

The face of the "personality" on the head of Tsomasu, which was originally smiling kindly, became distorted and ferocious, with a bloodthirsty and crazy smile. She no longer murmured vaguely, but roared loudly in Zhao Jizi's ear, making a deafening and terrifying scream -

Teng!

As if a switch had been pressed, Zhao Jizi started running again without any signs or prelude. He was clearly just walking forward without swinging his arms or body...

But the next moment:

Zhao Jizi rushed over the distance of twenty meters; and his palm, which could treat cement as sand, had already reached Erni's face.

……

It was not until she was killed that Erni suddenly realized how the other party had managed to circumvent the control of the Buddhist virus.

Tsomashi did not really suppress the Buddhist virus - instead, he took a different approach and regarded Erni as the last "karma" before enlightenment: only by killing her could he put down his butcher knife and enter the realm of nirvana...

After this, although the fate of self-destruction was difficult to avoid, Somos also completed the task assigned to him - this would be a battle in which both sides would die.

……

Despair and anger were clamoring, wrapping around Erni's heart like vines: just a little bit of bad luck, she was heading for defeat. And she was really only one step away from defeating the two Qi Refiners alone.

But just like other distracting thoughts that humans have, Erni's myriad thoughts at this moment only flashed through her mind like lightning.

……

She wanted to yell, but in the end she didn't say anything: or maybe it was just because she didn't have the time to open her mouth.

Erni felt as if time had suddenly frozen, and everything had stopped there—and she couldn't move at all.

“Is it a revolving lantern?”

Those flashes of thought before death, like memories of past lives flowing through her mind like a scroll... It should be like this, but Erni only felt that her heart was empty, with no past images flooding into her mind.

She thought to herself - Erni could see the lines on Zhao Jizi's palm and the tiny cracks all over the prosthetic hand; the palm was only a dozen centimeters away from her: and when these cracks touched Erni, it would be the end of her life. No mortal body could resist the compression of hydraulic muscles on bones: Erni's head would become a pool of minced meat mixed with bone powder and blood.

Erni was very calm about this. Victory and defeat are common in the military - even if the price of failure is the right to continue to live in the world; Erni, who has been on the edge of a knife for many years, has already prepared herself mentally, and sometimes even sighs at her longevity and good luck.

Death was always close to her: from Penang to the wilderness, from Kuala Lumpur to the City of the Dead - now, it was finally catching up with her in Manila. Erni accepted this with ease.

Of course...if my knife was faster and sharper...perhaps everything would be different.

She used the last of her mind to issue orders to the muscles in her arms: she drew out the ring-handled sword in front of her and swung it at the enemy.

Facing the final outcome without resistance was intolerable for Erni.

……

……

Chapter 281: Eighth Day of Injustice (XIV)

……

……

……

only……

The ring-handled sword was ultimately not swung.

And Erni did not wait until the death that was so imminent.

Time still stood still, stagnant. Zhao Jizi's palm never touched her head, and Erni's ring-handled sword also remained before it was swung out; her soul seemed to be trapped in the cracks of this world, forever stuck in the moment before death.

She waited and waited; until...

……

until--

Erni appeared before her eyes:

"Bloom".

She saw something strange; something she had never seen before. In Erni's vision: at the edge of her perspective, she could see some thin threads extending from her cheeks, mouth, and even her head, spreading in all directions.

The flowers made of "silk" grew silently in all directions, with Erni's head as the flowerpot. In this swamp-like sensory process that was slowed to the extreme... they were densely connected as they grew, weaving each other into a fine net.

The originally terminated uplink was forcibly opened, and the visual signal mode was changed, opening the third eye; allowing her to see everything that happened in the real and digital space in parallel.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment - or was it only Erni's senses that stopped? She could see countless threads unfolding in a scene that seemed like a suspended picture before her eyes; like a rainstorm that was shaking off from bottom to top and in countless directions.

Erni felt a vague and distant shock, as if it was separated by thick glass.

But even her brain became dizzy and chaotic in this sticky mass. So Erni just continued to watch, watching this terrifying and bizarre scene... She couldn't even feel the confusion between reality and illusion.

……

Those "threads" slowly spread around like growing plants - it seemed to have surrounded Erni and formed a rudimentary shape: like a flower, but also like a weed.

Finally, the expanding "silk" reached Zhaojizi, which was closest to Erni.

The first thing the thread touched was Zhao Jizi's masked head. It twisted like a living thing and burrowed deep into it, like a poisonous insect that had transformed into a leopard, or a foreign object in a horror movie:

But this is just an illusion; the changes in the digital space are reflected in the visual signals in reality, converted by the Sky Eye into a form that is easy for Erni to understand... In the real world, there are no physical silk threads dancing.

It means that the information flow is extending from Erni's mind, passing through the mind restriction set by the Qi Refiner and exploring into Zhao Jizi's sea of ​​consciousness.

……

The timing is perfect.

Before Erni was about to die...

Perhaps it was just the absurdity of fate, or perhaps it was just a coincidence that always happened in the dark: at the same time as the bomb transformed by the Beast Master, Manager Keman and Crow in the digital space was detonated.

The bomb lodged in Erni's brain was planted by someone unknown...

It also caused a secondary explosion.

flutter!

Suddenly, a moist explosion broke out in the silence.

……

another side--

Master Huang Wu, who dodged to the outer edge, could see more clearly than anyone else present.

With a heavy, muffled sound like water - Zhao Jizi, who was about to crush Erni's head in the blink of an eye, stopped without any warning.

The rough iron sheet that was riveted to the front of the head and served as a mask suddenly began to bulge out with uneven protrusions - followed by a mixture of pink and red body fluids: they slowly seeped out from the gaps in the iron sheet and merged at the neck.

Perhaps it was because of the extreme surprise and fear that it gave rise to an extraordinary curiosity and observation ability - it was not until this moment that Master Huang Wu discovered that... although Zhao Jizi was a fully cyborg Qi cultivator, he still had some biomass on his head.

This sudden change caused Master Huang Wu's camouflage fur to explode, and it stood up all over his body like needles:

Was it the result of Erni's successful attack? It didn't know.

But this bizarre situation is not over yet, it is still going on——

Zhao Jizi suddenly raised his hands, stretched out his ten fingers, and pointed them at his head; just like the actions of ordinary people in the old world who put on hair wax before going out and inserted their fingers into the ends of their hair to prevent their hair from falling down and looking listless...
