Chapter 428

Inside the warship, Tank rushed to his seat like a gust of wind, his fingers tapping continuously on the keyboard.

"I'll be your operator." Tank turned back with a smile and put on his headset.

"Everyone pay attention, please fasten your seatbelts, no smoking, no drinking, no..."

A series of 'no's filled this narrow space with joy. Ye Nan lay on the bed board, letting the tube be inserted into the back of his head, ready to connect to the Matrix world at any time, to project his consciousness into the Matrix world, and then go to the real world.

"But aren't you lying down?" Ye Nan raised his head, looking at Yilisi who was guarding in front of him, and said.

Yilisi shook her head and replied with a smile, "No, I don't need these instruments."

Yes, she didn't need these instruments. In fact, if someone were to perform a data check on the virtual world of Zion, they would find that a strange data exchange was occurring around Yilisi as the center. All data was involuntarily pouring into Yilisi's body, and when it poured out, it carried certain characteristics.

It was like a virus, constantly infecting the surrounding data, but unlike a virus, Yilisi did not replicate herself; she just made herself gain authority. Compared to a virus, she was more like a highly skilled hacker.

"Sit tight, I wish you a pleasant journey."

With a ding-ding-ding sound, Ye Nan felt a wave of dizziness. When he regained consciousness, he found himself back where he came from. The others were the same as him, appearing in the room, only Yilisi was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Nan tentatively called out, "Yilisi?"

"I'm here." Yilisi pushed the door open and came in, hugging Ye Nan as soon as she arrived. "I just helped you handle some things."

"Handle what?" Ye Nan asked.

"Certain data." Yilisi left Ye Nan's side, walked to the curtains, and pulled them open abruptly. Behind them were bricks. "When you were coming over, the data here was modified by someone. If it weren't for me, you would definitely have been caught like turtles in a jar."

Yilisi pulled the curtains shut, and when she opened them again, they had already become windows.

"But don't worry. I have already modified the data here; this place has become our territory."

"How could this place be discovered by someone?" Su Weiqi walked up, looked out from the window, and her expression was quite ugly when she returned. "Some people are coming up from below; they are the lackeys of the Matrix."

"They can't come up." Yilisi walked to Ye Nan's side and said, "I'll stay here, you go see the Oracle."

"Didn't the lackeys of the Matrix come? Can you handle it alone?" Ye Nan asked worriedly.

This is the Matrix world after all. Here, there are not only ordinary police but also powerful figures like the agents in black. Ye Nan was very worried about Yilisi being here alone.

"Don't worry, this place has already become my world, and as the core of Skynet, I am not as weak as you imagine." Yilisi said, kissing Ye Nan on the face, leaving a crimson lip print. "Don't worry about me, protect yourself well."

Ye Nan felt a slight chill on his face. Instinctively, he reached up to touch it, and his hand was stained with a red mark, which also emitted a faint fragrance.

"Go." Yilisi giggled and pushed Ye Nan out.

Ye Nan was pushed out by Yilisi, half-willingly. The lingering fragrance on his hand still rippled in his heart. He didn't react for a moment, and by the time he did, he had already appeared outside. At the same time, Neo and the others were also standing outside, wearing suits and sunglasses, looking indifferent.

"It feels a bit strange. Although it's a virtual world, that feeling..." Ye Nan smiled foolishly, the kiss still lingering in his heart. That feeling.

There had never been such a romantic thing before. He still remembered that whether it was Angela or Smila, their love was more of a spiritual connection; rarely did romantic things happen. He was like a green lad, ignorant and confused about these things.

"Still a virgin." Su Weiqi looked at Ye Nan with disdain.

"I am not a virgin." Ye Nan didn't even think before throwing this sentence at Su Weiqi. "Let's go, let's go find the Oracle."

A black sedan traveled along the street. Ye Nan looked through the window and only then saw the secret of this world: a small portion of people had stiff expressions, like zombies, walking on the street, day after day.

"Is that exactly why so many people feel something is wrong?" Ye Nan turned his head, looked at Neo, and then placed his gaze outside the window, but his heart was constantly thinking.

"In the Matrix trilogy, besides Neo, only the Oracle is the most important. As the Mother of the Matrix, she, in the identity of the Oracle, laid out many chess pieces, such as that firewall."

An Asian man in white clothes appeared in Ye Nan's mind. In the plot, he was a master second only to Neo. Even Smith before mutation was no match for him.

"The Father of the Matrix, the Mother of the Matrix, as the two highest beings of the Matrix world, they possess the power to create programs at will."

"Just like the agents in black, they can invade other programs at will and assimilate those programs into their own people."

"In other words, except for the consciousness connected by humans, other programs might become agents in black, so they cannot be trusted."

"However, what kind of skills do those abandoned programs have to escape the Matrix's pursuit? Is it because they seized authority, or because they have their own uses?"

One question after another popped up in his heart, making Ye Nan's thoughts fluctuate. He wanted to speak, but swallowed it back.

"We're here."

The car stopped, and everyone opened the doors and got out.

"Don't speak later, I'll talk to the Oracle." As soon as Ye Nan got out, he instructed.

This was a floor with children's graffiti. There was a twilight-aged person guarding it. It was like a slum, a world forgotten by the city, quiet and desolate.

As soon as he walked in, Ye Nan walked directly to the elevator door, waited for the elevator door to open, then walked in and pressed the button. At the moment he pressed the button, Ye Nan saw the strange smile of the twilight-aged person guarding the gate.

"Very strange." Ye Nan thought carefully about that smile; it was a smile with a mocking flavor.

Seeing Ye Nan's puzzled expression, Su Weiqi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ye Nan shook his head, suppressing that strange smile in his heart. His current business should be to confront the Oracle, probe the Oracle's true purpose, whether it was the same as he guessed, and most importantly, the Oracle's attitude.

If it was really as he thought, then the things the Oracle did were somewhat intriguing. The abandoned programs were under her protection, thus escaping a disaster, which ran counter to the ideology of the Matrix's evolution.

"Does the Oracle truly have compassion, or do these abandoned programs have another purpose?"

One question after another generated in his heart, waiting only for Ye Nan to see the Oracle to get the answer.

Ding-dong!

The elevator door opened. Ye Nan walked out of the elevator first, then under Su Weiqi's guidance, found the Oracle, pushed the door and entered. Before entering, he turned his head and said, "You wait for me here."

After saying this, Ye Nan walked in on his own.

"Wait a moment." Neo saw this and also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Cui Cui Nidi. Neo looked at Cui Cui Nidi in confusion, and finally only got one answer: "Trust him, or trust me."

"Oracle?" As soon as Ye Nan entered, he saw the Oracle, who looked like a housewife, with a fluffy mushroom haircut, wearing wide blue patterned pajamas, and even wearing an apron.

"Neo? No, you are not Neo." The Oracle, who had intended to put on airs, was immediately startled when she saw Ye Nan. "Who are you?"

"Does it not match the prophecy?" Ye Nan sat down casually, treating this place as his own home, without any intention of being polite. "Otherwise, you can prophesy again, prophesy my purpose for coming here."

"I..."

"You can't." As soon as the Oracle opened her mouth, Ye Nan interrupted her and said to himself, "So-called prophecy is actually using countless information, and then relying on one's own powerful deduction ability to forcibly deduce various possibilities of the future. This power looks omniscient, but in reality, it has great limitations. Once it encounters an outsider, it gets messed up, and nothing can be deduced."

"You cannot truly see the future."

No one knows what the future really is, but Ye Nan can be certain that the Oracle in front of him absolutely cannot see the future. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known Ye Nan was coming. The future is all-knowing; if there is something unknown, then what is it called the future?

The Oracle looked at Ye Nan with a changing expression. She had already determined that Ye Nan was here to cause trouble, but she had no way to deal with it. As the Oracle, as the Mother of the Matrix, she was quite knowledgeable about other programs or humans. She could easily counterattack anyone who doubted her, letting them know what an Oracle is.

But Ye Nan was different; she couldn't find any data on Ye Nan, as if this person had appeared suddenly.

"What, nothing to say? But I have something to say." After Ye Nan gave the Oracle a warning, he began to discuss the real business. "I am very curious, why do you take in these programs that should have been abandoned?"

As Ye Nan spoke, his gaze aimed at the children outside. These children each possessed special powers. He believed that once they grew up, they would definitely grow into true warriors.

Seeing Ye Nan turn his gaze to the children outside, the Oracle's mouth twitched, and then she said, "They are just poor children."

"Just programs, what's so poor about them!" Ye Nan said lightly, cold-blooded and ruthless.
