Chapter 876: Chapter 844: They are All Our Own Brothers

It seems that before they entered the "Sea of Souls", Qi He had already reached some sort of agreement with the program. Although the blue Sphere appeared still very reluctant, it eventually abided by the pact.

Lu Xiang witnessed the entire process of Qi He’s figure gradually becoming blurred, then scattering into points of light and disappearing before her.

A confrontation between a person and a Sphere lasted for a moment, but in the end, it was RT6 who broke the silence.

When Lu Xiang conversed with Qi He, she was not present.

Both she and the "King" were not very knowledgeable about the Dark Age. Their mother created them after that era and assigned them completely different missions.

RT4, who had lived through that era, had always maintained silence, never mentioning the specifics of that war to them.

RT4 had never even recalled the details of that war happening, and the "Emperor"’s reaction was more direct. At least based on RT6’s observation, the latter’s perception of that war was quite thoroughly skewed. He, just like the current upper echelon of the United Government, believed that the era was plagued by a group of "terrorists".

This was also the reason for their meeting.

At that time, the "Emperor", seeking a way to completely eradicate the Shadow, traveled through the "outer world".

If even the direct participants of the war had forgotten the details of that war, how had Qi He managed to complete this "Wholeness Puzzle Game"?

The earlier conversation piqued RT6’s intense interest, and she even considered adding Qi He to her list of subjects for observation.

More than Qi He’s understanding of the Dark Age, she was curious about the reasoning behind his actions.

"What that human said is true."

RT6 communicated directly with the "Sea of Souls", attempting to make a cognitive connection between the two.

As their minds touched, what happened in The First Region was clearly conveyed to the "Sea of Souls" — much more directly and efficiently than any other means of communication.

The flickering gradually subsided.

The "Sea of Souls" seemed to understand the threat Qi He had mentioned.

It slowly drifted towards Lu Xiang.

For a moment a strong light filled her eyes, feeling as though she was hit in the face with a flashbang, causing not only dazzling brightness but also waves of dizziness.

"Relax, this is normal."

In this blinding white world, RT6’s voice followed, "It is creating a connection with your mind. This might be somewhat uncomfortable for humans, but only you can do this."

Even if the recent disruption hadn’t occurred, Song Lan couldn’t have received the "Sea of Souls".

Because he is one of the few in this era to be 100% pure human, with not even the slightest bit of basic functional prosthetics on his body.

Lu Xiang heard RT6’s Whisper. Time seemed to stretch interminably, but as it passed, the piercing noise echoing in her ears changed, until it became ethereal and distant speech.

She knew that the doors to the "Sea of Souls" were slowly opening for her.

After that, she woke up.

She lay on the bed in the Eden Hotel, her nape connected to the device RT6 had prepared for her.

Song Lan had woken up a bit earlier and was now sitting at a table discussing something with the "Emperor". For a moment, she doubted the scene before her, wondering if this could be another illusion woven by the "Sea of Souls".

This was the aftereffect mentioned by RT6.

The longer one Deep Dives into the fabricated data world, the further away they get from reality, and up to now, they haven’t been able to figure out a definitive way to distinguish between virtual and real.

Lu Xiang sat up but didn’t take any immediate action.

Shortly after, the emergence of another consciousness in her mind gave her a sense of reality regarding her world.

The Swallower seemed to sense the "foreign object" that had appeared in her thoughts and initiated a communication that was far from friendly. It seemed to have learned quite a bit from its previous observations and had begun interrogating the "Sea of Souls" in the tone of intelligence department staff.

Who are you?

Why have you appeared in the Queen’s mind?

What is your purpose here?

This made Lu Xiang suddenly realize that until now, the Swallower’s consciousness couldn’t have entered the data world created by the "Sea of Souls".

In a daze, an image of a Swallower confronting the Sphere appeared in her mind.

To this suddenly arrived new friend, the Swallower was both wary and curious. Had she not been "watching" on the side, it might have followed its habit of biting the Sphere to determine its details.

Artificial Intelligence and Genetic Constructs seemed to have a natural animosity. Both seemed to look at each other with a bit of dislike.

Lu Xiang could even sense some of the "Sea of Souls"’ thoughts. At that moment, it was ready for defense and counterattack — if that noisy bug dared to bite it, it would let its adversary taste the power of laser weapons.

This made her feel like she had suddenly become a kindergarten teacher, watching two little friends with a not-so-good relationship.

"Now your mind has connected with two different consciousnesses, which is a unique experience for humans."

Noticing that Lu Xiang had woken up, RT6 approached her.

Lu Xiang was in much better shape than she had expected. She wasn’t sure if this was related to the giant Genetic Construct from the Seventeenth Region, but the cognitive connection with the "Sea of Souls" did not seem to be overloading her.
