Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

But, even so—

Master Huang Wu himself didn't know why:

It still cannot accept death peacefully, nor is it willing to disappear...even though there is nothing in this world that really makes it miss it.

But even so... Master Huang Wu still wants to live.

Because if I had to give an example - it wanted to exist just a little bit longer; just a little bit.

Living itself and everything that constitutes living; that is the meaning of existence.

Chapter 284: Eighth Day of Injustice (Seventeen)

……

……

Although his mind was loaded with countless thoughts, and even the first time he was thinking like a philosopher, it still did not affect Huang Wuye's speed of movement at all.

Manila now looks like a garbage dump that has been cleaned by artillery shells to remove dirt; except for a few scattered buildings that have not completely collapsed, the original components of the city have become a thick carpet spread on the ground.

The pit in the center of the city was filled with the iron smell of blood, mixed with the terrifying stench of human and foreign bodies, the sharp collision of metal on metal, the dull thud of flesh and bone, and the explosion of high-speed weapon fire.

All kinds of sounds and smells carrying information shot out from the huge pit - but they lacked the necessary things: human war cries, wails, and screams. This made the battlefield in the city center look weird out of thin air, and it became more like a huge toilet filled with hatred and blood.

Huang Wuye didn't get close to watch. Although he had no idea when this carnival-like meat-mincing started, and what exactly was going on -

It just passed the edge at high speed, leaving the battlefield behind. At this point in time, the last thing Mr. Huang Wu needed was to get involved in another war...

Huang Wuye did not flee out of the city: on the contrary, it just ran aimlessly in this wasteland that was once a city. As for why it did not leave Manila as soon as possible, it once again attributed this choice to "machine intuition."

……

Manila has lost its original landmarks. All the scenery passing by Huang Wuye is shrouded in mist and is so similar that he cannot tell where he is.

After running for such a long distance——

At the edge of Master Huang Wu's field of vision, which covered an angle of nearly three hundred degrees, he saw three "people" very close to him.

Some of them were on their knees, buried in the concrete; some were missing their legs and lower bodies, lying on their sides in the dust.

Master Huang Wu was very familiar with this scene: he was running just to escape from here - the scene before him was the battlefield between Erni, Zhao Jizi and Cuomoshi.

But before he knew it, Master Huang Wu had returned to the starting point of his escape.

Is it because his escape route was actually designed by the fear that seemed to be real, and ultimately formed a circular loop?

No matter what the answer was, Master Huang Wu had finally returned here, back to the place he wanted to escape from. Somehow, this time he no longer felt the deep fear, but instead felt a sense of numbness.

……

It could see the body of Somos - she had finally met true and complete death, with "half of her face" immersed in a puddle formed by her own body fluids, and the blood-red pool did not have the slightest ripple; this Qi cultivator had lost all oxygen exchange.

Zhao Jizi still maintained his original posture, as if he had turned into a stone statue - but his body was much stronger than stone.

And Erni...is she considered a companion left behind by me?

Master Huang Wu didn't want to think about this problem. He just huddled there and watched.

Erni was still in the same place, but her posture changed from kneeling on one knee to standing still: similar to before Somos went crazy, she was also looking calmly at a certain point in the distance, as if her eyes were nailed there.

"Er Ni...Er Ni?"

Master Huang Wu called out, but received no response.

"Hello? Madam?"

It gently changed the name, but the result remained the same. Huang Wuye felt that he couldn't even see the rise and fall of Erni's chest - in order to make room, he installed the "Five Thunder Method" that could release thunderbolts in all directions, and removed the original biosensor device, which made it impossible to directly collect Erni's heart rate, blood pressure and other information...

So it can only be observed with the "naked eye".

Uncle Huang Wu followed her gaze - but apart from the moon covered by clouds and two artificial satellites linked to the sea of ​​​​the fetus in the night sky... there was only endless darkness.

So... it finally realized something. Ever since it tried to modify itself towards direct conflict and combat, Master Huang Wu has lost his former sharpness -

This includes shutting down the "Sky Eye" and "Yin Yang Eye" in order to reduce system occupancy and load pressure.

beep.

With a slight sound from the wetware, Master Huang Wu opened his "eyes".

So it saw everything that was happening before its eyes.

……

With Erni as the center of the circle——

Thousands and thousands of thin threads without "diameter" and "thickness" were coming out from the center of her head, dancing in all directions like predatory plant roots. They were like conscious creatures, constantly combining with each other and changing shapes.

That's how it was.

After Master Huang Wu opened his "Heavenly Eye" and "Yin Yang Eye" and took in everything, it was as if the switches of these threads had been touched.

They suddenly trembled, and adhered to each other, transforming their shape into a thicker "ring"; then, like sea waves, they "expelled" from Erni's head to the surrounding areas. It was so turbulent, with a roar like a raging wave.

The next moment after seeing this wonderful sight, Uncle Huang Wu started running again.

The ever-expanding and fluctuating "rings" spread in all directions: they passed over the stiff corpses of Zhao Jizi and Cuomoshi, and the information beam released by Erni, with the speed of a tsunami, was about to catch up with Master Huang Wu.

It doesn't know what the consequences will be after being caught by these things -

But: it was vague, as if it was a mysterious sensation - or maybe it was just the monster's slight sensitivity to changes in information... Master Huang Wu finally slowed down and turned his head.

As a native electronic life born in the digital space, Master Huang Wu could see the colorless but tangible thread descending from the center of the zenith, right in the middle of Erni's head. Just like in the real world, there was no telling what kind of storm was brewing in the digital space.

"what is that?"

He had lived through many, many long years before descending into a physical body... but even he had never seen anything like this.

Master Huang Wu hadn't been curious for a long time: ever since he was captured by Fang Bailu... no, even long before that, he had lost the most important point of electronic life -

Curiosity and desire for the outside world.

But it was just a fleeting thought; a fleeting thought before it completely disappeared.

Silently, it was the signal that came down from the digital space that ignited the information bomb in Erni's brain.

……

Master Huang Wu followed the signal that seemed to have substance and raised his head:

It was a huge, colorless lotus. It stretched out from Erni's head, rose vertically, and reached toward the sky. It was composed of countless strands of non-existent silk threads; the tide in the digital space and everything in reality overlapped at this moment.

The scene before my eyes is so gorgeous, it is a light and color that cannot be seen in this world——

……

This seems to be the answer to the mystery that has caused Somos and Erni to lose their minds.

But...that's not right!

But Master Huang Wu was not satisfied with this, because he knew that this was not the source of his fear.

It quickly turned its head and looked around; even though the lotus made of silk threads was right in front of it and was about to cover it -

"No, not this..."

It's not this lotus. Although Master Huang Wu can also sense the immeasurable danger from it——

But this was not the evil creature that had just been following Huang Wuye like a shadow, driving him to flee across the city like a maggot on his limbs; this was not the corpse at the bottom of the sea that Somos had mentioned.

"Where, where?"

It still hasn't stopped looking.

Uncle Huang Wu's ears drooped, covering his ear holes; they were still shaking, and he looked around, his eyes spinning rapidly like hard-hit marbles: although there was no symbol that could be converted into a visual signal, Uncle Huang Wu still vaguely felt the presence of the foreign object.

Suddenly - perhaps it was a sudden inspiration, or perhaps it was the sensitivity brought by the wetware in Mr. Huang Wu's body...

It raised its head and gazed into the lightless depths of the zenith.

In the digital space, everything is upside down; and the ocean of information is suspended on top of everything, isolating the real world from the illusion...

"Yes, the sea comes from the sky."

Master Huang Wu finally saw it. He saw what Samos had been talking about, and what Erni was staring at.

that--

Dead body on the sea floor.

"That three-faced woman is right," Mr. Huang Wu thought to himself. "How could I not have seen it all this time? It's right there! Right there, right there."

Master Huang Wu opened his mouth wide and let out a howling roar:

"There's a body on the seafloor. There's a body on the seafloor!"

then:

A corner of the lotus petal hit Huang Wuye's fluff, and then wrapped around its entire body.

……

……

Chapter 285: Eight Days of Injustice (End)

……

……

……

"Bright" "flame".

The golden color - or rather, more like pure white with the saturation adjusted to the highest level - rose from the lowest end of Master Huang Wu's soul and gradually filled it entirely.

There is no scorching heat, nor burning pain...

In just a moment, Master Huang Wu was overwhelmed and covered by it.

Pipe-pipe-pipe

Pale blue electric fire flowed through Huang Wuye's entire body: the hair he used as camouflage became curled and burnt black; a wisp of smoke rose from Huang Wuye's head - that was where his descending soul was.

Following a tremor, the twelve slender and bent limbs straightened - with a click, Mr. Huang Wu's charred canine head broke off from the neck and rolled to the ground.

But all this no longer has any meaning to Master Huang Wu.

There is no revolving door before death - when life encounters fatal danger, it reviews all memories and tries to find a way to deal with the current crisis - because Mr. Huang Wu is not a real life, and it also follows a different mechanism.

Because its soul and life - everything that could be contained in its body - were burned out in the flames of information that burst out from Erni's brain; there was no longer any being called "Master Huang Wu" in this world.

There were no real last words, nor any sighs before leaving this world——

Master Huang Wu died at this point.

……

The two Qi cultivators who had been chasing him for a long time and even nearly took his life several times finally left the world.

But Erni could not get any satisfaction or sense of accomplishment.

And Master Huang Wu, with whom he had known for quite a long time, with whom he had just been through life and death together, and with whom he had a certain comradeship, had disappeared just like that, more completely gone than death—

Erni did not feel the slightest bit of loss, sadness or anger.

Because she couldn't perceive any information from the outside world at this moment: the light was overflowing Erni's soul; it was even about to melt her completely.

In her vision, there was only endless, all-encompassing light. This "light" was not simple, pure light; it was more like countless extremely tiny characters. But Erni had no way of distinguishing them. Erni, who had never studied digital space or online work, felt completely confused.

She felt like she was soaking in a warm hot spring, but the temperature was far higher than boiling water.

The explosion of information bombs is not over yet.
