Chapter 214 We Are All People with Holes in Our Heads
The drinks in this bar are a bit expensive.
Simply washing the dishes is obviously not enough.
So Morpheus and Trinity, a cool guy and a cool girl, went to clean the toilet with sullen faces.
By the time they came out from their work, it was already evening.
It's a busy time in the bar.
Many NPCs from Liberty City and some casual players are gathering and drinking here.
That's what consumption is like.
It's as simple as two glasses of wine and it only takes a few minutes.
However, for these few minutes, it takes a whole day to work and make money.
"Hi! Lao Mo, Lao Cui! Come here, I'll introduce you to some friends."
Xu Wang was sitting on a high stool outside the bar.
Seeing Morpheus and Trinity coming over, he immediately waved and greeted them enthusiastically.
Facing Xu Wang now, Morpheus and Trinity no longer had the excitement they had in the past.
The cold dishwater and toilet calmed their brains completely.
So much so that they even began to reflect.
Is Xu Wang the savior?
Can the savior really save mankind?
But no matter how they think about it, Xu Wang is an awakened human being after all, and they have to continue to communicate with Xu Wang and send him out of the matrix.
It’s just that Xu Wang swallowed the red and blue pills together.
Morpheus didn't know if his people could still locate Xu Wang's location in reality.
"Old Mo, Lao Cui, this is Buddy, a reliable security guard. If you have any concerns, you can come to him to answer your questions. He is very good at this.
This is Officer Johnny, my colleague. Although his shooting skills are terrible, his fighting skills are also not good.
This is Bree, the barista. She owns a coffee shop in Liberty City and this bar is also her property. She is now working on various beverages.
It's a pity that I have two friends who went on a date. The identities of those two people are quite taboo. You will definitely be very interested. "
Xu Wang pointed at the people around the bar and identified them one by one with Morpheus and the others.
Then Xu Wang introduced Morpheus and Trinity to his friends: "Hi, guys, this is Morpheus and Trinity. They are people from the real world. Their biggest hobby is to be cool, If you can be cool with them, they will be happy."
Seeing Xu Wang outputting strange stereotypes, Morpheus quickly stepped forward to interrupt.
The black bald head gave Xu Wang a forced smile, and then lowered his voice and said, "Should we get down to business?"
"Oh yes!"
Xu Wang nodded and waved to Buddy and the others: "Goodbye friends, I will go to the real world first and come back to tell you how it is there."
Then Xu Wang flicked the hem of his bathrobe and raised his chin towards Morpheus and the others: "Let's go, Old Mo, lead the way."
Morpheus quickly left with Xu Wang.
Only Trinity noticed the blind spot.
It turns out that this bar is owned by Xu Wang’s friend?
Even so, let them work to pay back the money.
He is worthy of being the savior, he is truly upright!
Trinity actually doesn't like Xu Wang.
But she was too superstitious about prophets, and her filter on the so-called savior was too thick.
So I started self-hypnosis.
Morpheus left the bar with Xu Wang, looked at the street scene of Infinite Island outside, and suddenly sighed: "I know it was you who reactivated the oasis. This alone is enough for everyone to express their gratitude to you.
The Oasis is not under the control of the Matrix, and violence is prohibited here, making it very safe. In the future, we plan to transfer the scope of activities from the matrix to the oasis.
Come with me, I've already contacted the operator and he'll set up a channel for us. "
As he spoke, Morpheus waited for the brontosaurus in front of him to walk by slowly, then led Xu Wang across the road and entered an alley full of ivy.
There is a phone booth in the alley.
This thing is definitely a product of the times.
Back when mobile phones were still called portable phones, or mobile phones, phone booths were dotted around the streets.
It is the primary means of communicating with multiple people.
It is also Clark's dressing room.
People born in the 1990s like Xu Wang still have some nostalgia for phone booths.
"This is it. As long as you connect the phone, you can send your consciousness to reality, probably..."
This was the first time Morpheus encountered Xu Wang in this situation, so his tone was not so sure.
Xu Wang didn't think much about it.
He knows his situation better than Morpheus.
Unlike humans in the Matrix.
After they awaken, as long as they take the red pill, they can block the signal link of the matrix, and then they can return to the body of the real world through the information channel built by people in the real world.
But in the real world, Xu Wang has no body at all.
He appeared directly in the virtual world out of thin air.
Therefore, the information channel established by Morpheus's crew actually played a positioning role for Xu Wang.
Using this passage will not allow Xu Wang to appear in the battery factory of Mechanical City, but will allow Xu Wang to appear directly on their spaceship.
Standing in the phone booth, Xu Wang heard the phone ringing in front of him, so he reached out and took off the receiver and put it to his ear.
"Hello!"
Xu Wang responded subconsciously.
"ah?"
This is the voice coming from the other side of the microphone. It should be the operator Tank talking in the movie "The Matrix".
"It looks like it's ready."
Xu Wang confirmed that the other party was connected, and then used his data body.
Outside the phone booth, Morpheus and Trinity saw Xu Wang's whole body suddenly turned into a green code, got into the phone receiver and disappeared.
This is exactly the same as when they used the phone to leave the Matrix world.
This made both men sigh in relief.
Fortunately, it seems that the red pill is working.
So the two of them no longer hesitated, as if they stepped forward to pick up the phone receiver, and left the virtual world one by one.
At this time, in the real world.
The Nebuchadnezzar was moving silently inside the huge man-made tube underground.
This is a suspended ship that is completely dark and has an obvious industrial sci-fi style.
The suspension ship is the main combat equipment of the Zion Resistance in the real world, and it is also an important means of transportation for them to and from the underground city.
Each ship is powered by electromagnetic levitation technology that provides air travel.
With the help of this device, the flying ship can navigate freely in the complex underground network.
But the electromagnetic levitation device is not an anti-gravity system or the power engine of a traditional aircraft.
Therefore, they cannot get too high off the ground.
Once it flies too high, the electromagnetic levitation will fail, causing the hovercraft to crash.
The hovercraft runs on electricity, so every few weeks they have to return to Zion to recharge.
Although the hull looks huge, most of the space is occupied by equipment. The internal environment of the suspended ship is relatively cold, and there is little personal space for the crew.
Even so, the black technology on this ship has surpassed most other worlds.
In the main control room of the suspended ship at this time.
Trinity and Morpheus, who were lying on the invasion chair, suddenly opened their eyes!
Their consciousness has just returned from the virtual world to the real body.
A metal pipe was pulled out of the hole in the back of Morpheus's head.
Wearing a shabby sweater and a strong figure, Morpheus rolled over from the invasion chair.
Looking at his crew, Morpheus immediately said: "Quick, according to the red pill signal, go to the battery tower to pick up people."
This is an old tradition.
The bodies of all humans who have just escaped from the Matrix will wake up from the battery tower in the Mechanical City.
Afterwards, when they are weak, they will be washed into the wastewater pool below the tower.
Morpheus and the others must rescue people as soon as possible at this time.
Otherwise, people who awaken will die inside sooner or later.
I don’t know how many years Zion has been saving humans in the matrix.
But just as Morpheus finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere on the ship was a bit weird.
So he turned to look at his crew members.
Then I saw the operator Tank, who had thick eyebrows and seemed to be of Mexican origin, raised his hand and pointed to the side.
Then Morpheus was shocked to find that Xu Wang had already arrived in the suspended ship one step ahead of them.
Even at this time, Xu Wang was still dressed in a bathrobe just like in the virtual world.
Like an old man, he walked around the cabin with his hands behind his back, looking left and right.
Seems to be curious about everything.
Finally, Xu Wang walked to the porthole.
He pressed his face against the window, with his nose squeezed into a pig's nose. He stared at the huge pipe outside the window with wide eyes and said, "It's so big! You should be given the title of Blue Gopher. This underground The project is bigger than the shelter.”
Xu Wang was still sighing there.
Morpheus pulled the tank over, leaned close to him and whispered: "What happened? How did he get on the ship?"
When Tank heard this, he spread his hands and said, "He came right out of the machine and almost scared me to death!"
"ah?"
Morpheus didn't expect to get such a mysterious answer at all. He looked in Xu Wang's direction in disbelief: "Is this what's different about the savior?"
Tank is younger and seems to be more receptive. He said happily: "You said he is the savior. We have found the savior?!"
Morpheus nodded.
Although he thought Xu Wang was a bit strange, he trusted his intuition.
Then he saw Xu Wang running behind a white bald crew member and starting to study the hole in the back of his head.
The thin, bald white man named Seve had a gloomy and stingy face.
Faced with Xu Wang's teasing, his face looked very ugly.
Morpheus knew Seve's temper well, so he quickly stepped forward, pulled Xu Wang away, and introduced to the crew members around him: "This is Xu Wang. I think he is the savior predicted by the prophet."
Xu Wang also echoed: "Yes, that's right. Considering that we all have holes in our brains, I will help you regain your freedom."
After hearing Xu Wang's words, everyone's expressions became even more strange.
All the crew members cast doubtful eyes on Morpheus, as if asking, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?
That Seve couldn't hold back, he said coldly: "Morpheus, haven't you given up on the prophecy of the savior yet? How long has it been?"
With that said, the bald man with a mustache looked at Xu Wang again: "Morpheus told you that you are the savior?"
Xu Wang smiled and nodded: "It wasn't just him who told me that the identity I drew was the savior. Haha, it's my first time to be the savior, so I'm a little embarrassed."
Seve sneered and shook his head: "It seems that Morpheus brainwashed you very hard, so you came here to save the world?"
Trinity also stepped forward with a cold face and said: "Cev, be careful!"
Cev was not afraid at all. He looked at Trinity, then looked at Morpheus, and said: "If you are so sure that he is the savior, why don't you take him to see the prophet first? Have you found so many so-called saviors over the years? How are the facts proven?"
When the crew heard Sefer mention this, they all nodded.
In fact, at the beginning, everyone also had expectations for the so-called savior.
Especially when Morpheus was so confident.
But as time went on, the so-called saviors they found were all fake.
Everyone was naturally disappointed.
However, compared to Sefer, the crew still trusted Morpheus a little more.
They thought that maybe Morpheus could bring them a miracle this time.
Morpheus took everyone's eyes in his eyes.
After Sefer finished speaking, he said directly and lightly: "I definitely didn't find the wrong person this time. Didn't you see how he came to the Nebuchadnezzar? That had never appeared before."
Yes!
When the crew heard Morpheus mention this, they also remembered the scene where Xu Wang suddenly appeared just now.
This is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
So they got excited again.
Only Sefer's face was a little solemn and gloomy.
He was once a trapped person in the matrix.
After being rescued, he has been living in the dark underground world.
Following Morpheus to carry out repetitive tasks all day long, fantasizing about finding the savior and liberating all mankind under the rule of machines.
But day after day, year after year.
Let Sefer see no hope at all.
He is tired of the hard days in the real world.
He doesn't want to wear worn-out sweaters, eat tasteless nutritious meals, and hide like a mouse all day long.
He began to miss the days of the matrix.
Sunshine, steak, beauties, and normal life.
Even though he knew that everything was virtual, and was a string of data codes transmitted to him by the matrix.
But so what?
That was beautiful.
There were many humans who had the same idea as him.
Why did we have to resist the rule of robots?
Is hiding in the underground world all day really better than lying in the capsule?
Sefer didn't think so.
That's why the more Sefer looked at the hopeful eyes of Morpheus and others, the more he felt it was dazzling and hateful.
As for Xu Wang.
Sefer didn't like him even more.
He denied that Xu Wang was the so-called savior.
He didn't think Xu Wang could lead humans to a better life.
If he could really do it.
Then what about his betrayal of humans and becoming an agent spy in the matrix some time ago? !
Sefer must not allow that to happen!
The news here must be passed to the matrix and the agents!
The savior has appeared.
They must be very interested in this news!
I can use this to return to the matrix and ask for a richer identity!
Sefer's heart roared crazily.
But at this moment, Xu Wang looked at Sefer's face and suddenly remembered something. He pointed at Sefer and said with sudden enlightenment: "Oh! I remember, you are the spy of the agent! You provide the agent with all the actions of the Nebuchadnezzar crew."
Sefer was originally rehearsing his inner drama frantically.
As a result, Xu Wang on the opposite side read the script and directly exposed his hidden identity.
It's unreasonable at all.
Instantly!
All the crew members turned their eyes to Sefer!
Sefer with a mustache: "…………"
