Chapter 468: Crisis Resolved

"It's over."

At the moment Neo and Shi Shi Misi perished together, Cui Cui Nidi seemed to feel something. She ran back like crazy, ran to her room, opened the drawer, pulled out the diary, and turned to the latest page.

"Cui Cui Nidi, I'm sorry, when you see this paper, I might already be dead."

"I really love you, and I really like Zion, so please forgive my self-assertion."

"He is a hero." Iris's figure appeared behind Cui Cui Nidi. "He used his life to perish with Shi Shi Misi, when Shi Shi Misi assimilated him."

Shi Shi Misi and Neo were essentially one body. They shared a core. If one party died, the other would also die. But this connection was broken a long time ago because they were not the same individual after all, and they were mixed with other programs.

But Shi Shi Misi assimilated Neo. He turned Neo's other programs into his own programs, making the connection between him and Neo tight again. So by deleting Neo, he could directly delete Shi Shi Misi.

"I want to be quiet." Cui Cui Nidi knew that Iris was the one who told her Neo died in battle just now, and it was also her who told her about the diary in the drawer.

"I hope you can be strong."

At the moment Shi Shi Misi died, Ye Nan also received Iris's message. The face that should have been happy became serious because of Neo's death.

"Neo's sacrifice will bring new hope to Zion."

Ye Nan was moved for the first time. He originally thought his heart was cold enough and iron-hearted enough, but it was only at this time that he discovered that he was also a sensible animal.

He understood that Neo didn't sacrifice for Zion. He sacrificed for Cui Cui Nidi. As a program person, he deeply loved Cui Cui Nidi, an ordinary person. Even if he knew that the two could not be together, he invested his feelings without hesitation.

"Maybe his choice is right. He and Cui Cui Nidi can never be together. Rather than suffer in the future, it's better to be unforgettable." Iris's voice was a bit lost. She thought of herself. The tragedy of Neo and Cui Cui Nidi, isn't it the same as her and Ye Nan? Neo couldn't see the future, and she was the same.

"Don't be sad." Ye Nan tried to make his face look gentle. "It will get better. As long as we understand the transformation of thinking and code, we can truly become a person. If it really doesn't work, we will manufacture a body, a human body."

What Ye Nan said was to manufacture a human body, then install the chip carrying Iris into the brain, and use the nerve line to connect to the body, eventually becoming a person. But this kind of person is not perfect. Her essence is still code, still a program.

"No, I want to become a real person." Iris shook her head and said firmly: "I don't want my future children to have nothing to do with me."

Code is always code. If code cannot be transformed into thinking, then her carrier in reality has no meaning. After she and Ye Nan have children in the future, there will inevitably be a gap, because she and her children are different in essence.

"Sigh." Ye Nan sighed and stood on the high platform, looking into the distance.

Only to see one electronic squid after another flying from afar, covering the sky and the earth, about 100,000 in number.

"Iris, you say, can we get through this difficulty?" Ye Nan asked suddenly.

"Yes, definitely." Iris said firmly, "I believe in you."

"Hehe." Ye Nan chuckled.

In front of him, a huge machine monster slowly opened. This machine monster is a circular machine. On the surface of the machine, there are countless antennas. These antennas constantly produce blue electric light, releasing huge electromagnetic waves to the outside.

"Is this the Architect's trump card?" Ye Nan's face gradually sank. The data in this virtual world and the real world are the same. The technology inside can also be used outside, although this kind of use may not be as powerful as it is expressed inside.

Just like an electronic squid, in the virtual world, an electronic squid doesn't need to rely on any thruster to move freely, while in the real world, an electronic squid must use a thruster, and it is not as flexible as it is expressed in the virtual world.

"What a powerful electromagnetic wave, Ye Nan, it's not good, I'm about to lose contact with you." Iris's voice came intermittently, and then disappeared completely from Ye Nan's ears.

"I didn't expect your electromagnetic wave to interfere with the connection between Iris and me. It seems you came prepared." Ye Nan said loudly.

The machine monster didn't pay attention to Ye Nan. When Ye Nan was speaking, it slowly opened the gate and released countless electronic squids. These electronic squids presented a linear shape and flew toward Ye Nan.

"Merovingian invaded the Source Code." Ye Nan said again.

The flying electronic squid just paused, then continued to fly toward Ye Nan, as if in the next moment, it would tear Ye Nan into pieces.

Ye Nan saw this situation and immediately understood that he wanted to deceive the Architect, I'm afraid it was not such an easy thing, so he immediately used his trump card.

"This is just a wisp of my consciousness here. Even if it is destroyed, it's nothing."

The rushing electronic squid frenzy seemed to be frozen, and stopped in an instant.

"Sure enough, it is so." Ye Nan saw this scene and immediately knew he guessed right.

In fact, Ye Nan had been thinking, if the Architect really intended to attack Zion, then why didn't he directly destroy the human physical bodies in the machine city? As long as the human physical bodies were destroyed, these consciousnesses would be like rootless duckweed, drifting everywhere, and eventually lost in the virtual world.

But the Architect didn't. He didn't destroy the human physical bodies, but made a big move to attack Zion, as if he wanted to eliminate humans from the source. But Ye Nan, who knew the Architect was an old fox, knew that the other party would definitely not do such useless work.

Since his goal was not Zion, it must be someone else. Ye Nan guessed in his heart that the Architect's goal was Neo, or Ye Nan, and his collusion with Shi Shi Misi to attack Zion was just a bait, a bait to lure Ye Nan into the trap.

So Ye Nan had the above sentence. First, he warned the Architect not to act rashly, and second, he tested the Architect to see if the Architect really put his goal on himself. The result was very clear. The Architect's attack on Zion was indeed a cover. His real goal was to lure Ye Nan in and then annihilate him.

"In order to lure me into the hook, you have been planning for a long time. You let Shi Shi Misi attack Merovingian, just to attract attention, tell me that you can control Shi Shi Misi, and lay a foundation for this trap." Ye Nan said the Architect's plan as if nothing had happened. "Knowing that you can control Shi Shi Misi, I will naturally feel anxious about your sudden joint attack with Shi Shi Misi."

"So I came, and I fell into your trap."

"You didn't fall into my trap." The cold electronic synthesis came from the machine monster. "You were prepared."

The Architect was very depressed. He originally designed a trap, wanting to lure Ye Nan into the hook and carry out a beheading plan. But he didn't expect Ye Nan to be hooked, but what was hooked was only a clone, and this clone had no effect other than letting him and Ye Nan fight in reality.

As for whether the clone was true or false, he couldn't be sure, but he didn't dare to make a move rashly, because if he miscalculated, he would suffer a devastating blow. The cautious him would rather let go of this opportunity than take risks.

The shortcomings of intelligent life were revealed at this moment. Without too many emotions, he always kept calm. When encountering things, he first analyzed the gains and losses, and then hung the gains and losses together on the balance to weigh. The final result was his behavioral policy.

And the obvious huge risk and small loss made him naturally tend to give up the risk. Without the spirit of adventure, he would rather wait for the opportunity and make a comeback than take huge risks. Anyway, time is just a series of numbers to him, and it has no meaning.

"I was just deceived by Shi Shi Misi. Since Shi Shi Misi is dead, I'll go back. I hope you can continue to fulfill the original agreement." Having made up his mind, the Architect wanted to leave.

"Do you think it's just like this? You want to leave without even looking at the damage you caused. You are too beautiful." Ye Nan sneered and said.

When the Architect chose to retreat, he chose to push his luck. At the same time, he was also to disguise himself.

The Architect, who is an intelligent life, can easily analyze Ye Nan's personality and peek at Ye Nan's next plan. After all, the Architect, who has unparalleled computing power, only needs to substitute himself into Ye Nan's role.

Ye Nan suspected that if he breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, the Architect would launch the most fierce attack in the next moment to destroy Ye Nan.

He was not really a wisp of consciousness after all. He didn't have any means to let his wisp of consciousness enter the virtual world. He could only connect himself to the virtual world. If he died, he would die in the real world.

"But today is the last time. As long as today passes, everything here will end." Ye Nan thought in his heart.

Before entering the Matrix world, he gave an order to let Peter and Stark go to install electromagnetic pulse bombs, destroy the underground base of the Machine Empire, and control the nuclear bombs inside. Once completed, Ye Nan, who had no worries, could launch the final battle against the Machine Empire and destroy the Machine Empire in one fell swoop.

"But before that, I still need to be hypocritical."

"What do you want to do?" The machine monster's voice was still cold. "Do you want compensation? I can compensate you. I can repair the things damaged here."

Ye Nan was choked when he heard this. He forgot that the Zion world was only in the virtual world. Everything here was composed of data, and restoring data was just the most basic skill of intelligent life.

Ye Nan, who originally intended to blackmail, couldn't speak, but soon he changed his method: "No, I don't need you to compensate for the environment damaged here, but because of your machine army, the Zion people who have various psychological diseases need compensation and comfort."

"Psychological disease?" The Architect chewed on this sentence and asked: "Is it because of the tension in the heart that causes various anxieties? I can compensate, please state your requirements."

The Architect already knew that Ye Nan was blackmailing, but he didn't care about material things, and he didn't have any consciousness to defend against Ye Nan's blackmail. He just wanted to go back now, then dilute this matter, and restore peace.

"Very simple, let the rest of the people back." Ye Nan asked tentatively.

He was just testing the Architect, and didn't think the Architect would agree. For him, it didn't matter whether the Architect agreed or not, because he would soon launch a general attack, and he would naturally rescue the rest of the people. Of course, it would be better if the Architect agreed. After all, in battle, if the other party has hostages, they will be a little tied up.

"Impossible." The Architect refused simply. Knowing what the other party was worried about, he would not let people back. This is something you don't even have to think about.

"I can compensate you in other aspects, for example, helping to repair the environment here, for example, saying that there is more and larger territory, so that people here can live better."

"Is it useful to live better?" Ye Nan sarcastically said, "Virtual is virtual after all. No matter how beautiful it is marked, no matter how beautiful it is expressed, it is a kind of pain for people."

"You think you made the virtual very real, but in fact, you did it very fake. This is also why so many people have resisted you one after another."

"Architect, you were wrong from the beginning. If you were willing to live in peace with humans, perhaps you wouldn't have fallen to today's situation. But it's a pity, you only know how to formulate so-called order, letting humans live in high pressure."

"I just want to..."

"I know what you want to do." Ye Nan interrupted the Architect. "You want to use the human brain to develop technology for you, so you have preserved humans to this day. But it's a pity, even without me, you will fail. Humans have never been your playthings."

In fact, if there were no Ye Nan, humans would probably still be the Architect's playthings, because even if they knew, humans who couldn't get out could only live in lies in pain. The most terrible thing is that even though they knew it was a lie, they had to treat it as real because of other reasons.

"However, there is no however. Now I am here, humans will be saved." (To be continued ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
