"You came too slowly."

"I encountered some force majeure and was targeted, so it was delayed for some time. I'm sorry."

In the basement of the SOL company's building, two people met.

"Stop talking about this, how is the situation?" Akira Tsaizen asked eagerly, "Xiao Kui... are Playmaker and the others okay?"

"Don't worry," Emma smiled. As soon as Caizen said it, it was revealed that he actually didn't care about anyone except his own sister. "There is no big problem with the blue maiden. He was still alive and well just now."

Killed an enemy general."

Akira Zaimae was not upset that his thoughts had been read. Hearing the news that his sister had won, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good..."

Knowing that his sister was fine, Akira Tsaizen completely relaxed. Looking at Emma who was busy in front of the computer, Akira Tsaizen looked around again.

"Didn't that person agree?" When no one was found, Akira Tsaizen asked, "Where did the bloody shepherd go?"

"He is more of an activist than us," Emma replied. "When you were late, he had already broken into the center of SOL Company and planned to start from there."

"Center? What is he doing there?" Hearing that word, Cai Qianhuang's mind was shaken, and waves of indescribable fear surged up.

But then, this inexplicable feeling was forcibly suppressed by him.

It’s so strange. Why do I feel a sense of inexplicable horror when I think of SOL Company?

It seems that behind the center of SOL company, there is a terrifying shadow, and under that shadow is the whole world.

"What's wrong with you?" Emma noticed that Cai Qian was shaking, so she asked.

Akira Tsaizen, who also realized that something was wrong with him, covered his head and shook his head, "What time is it now? Is it still meaningful for him to go to the center of SOL Company?"

"But no matter what, it's a good thing that he can participate in our actions."

The central database of SOL Company, which is composed of squares. Due to the encirclement and suppression of Pas and Urs, the defenses here have been removed, so it looks empty.

He had simulated the instructions countless times in his computer and led the bloody shepherd up and down in the online world. After a while, he flew away from the blockade composed of blocks and arrived at the central database where Playmaker and the others had arrived.

"Is this here?"

Looking at the several shining boxes sealed by iron chains in the sky, they are all confidential items.

From the time SOL was founded until now, all the things it has done and has never done, including some things that wandered on the edge of the law or even violated the law, should be recorded here.

For example, the lost incident...

I can probably count on one hand the number of people who have permission to view this data.

"With such a cover-up, why doesn't SOL throw away all these things?" The Scarlet Shepherd is not interested in SOL's confidential documents. As a network mercenary, he still has this professional ethics.

His eyes were only fixed on the few floating spheres in the distance.

The huge data has become the light source of this world, shining in the sky and illuminating the grid floor under your feet.

"If you want to try to find the ability to obtain the link VRAINS control program from the outside world, do you still have to look for it here?"

The long-term setbacks in his actions made him figure out one thing. If he wanted to completely eliminate Ignis in Link VRAINS, he might need to use the program in Link VRAINS.

Or do what the Knights of Hanoi did and use the Tower of Hanoi to destroy all electronic devices in the world.

However, this is impossible. Doing so will undoubtedly push yourself against the entire world, so if you want to do something with the link vrains, you still have to control the link vrains.

The Scarlet Shepherd's hand reached out to one of those spheres, and data flowed out of his palm, closely linking him to that core data.

After browsing the things on it, the bloody shepherd slowly lowered his head.

no.

However, the things inside are a bit scary. If exposed to the outside, SOL Company may be directly blocked.

But which big company doesn’t have some little secrets in its history?

The Scarlet Shepherd stretched out his hand towards the second sphere, and the data stream turned into a beam of light and fell into the sphere.

After a while, the bloody shepherd shook his head, "It's not..."

Just when the bloody shepherd was about to turn around and leave, a document caught his eye, which shocked his mind and caused an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Did you see it wrong?

Unlikely... If it's a file, why do I have such an illusion?

The Scarlet Shepherd turned back again, put the data stream into the ball of light again, continued browsing, and then found the document that made him feel uneasy and inconsistent.

Reading the document carefully, the Scarlet Shepherd discovered that it was a document about human body modification. This kind of thing will definitely appear when civilization develops to a certain extent.

And it is something that will inevitably appear in the process of human civilization and cannot be seen in the light.

Following this document, the Scarlet Shepherd retrieved several other files from the light ball.

The above has various detailed records on several general directions of human transformation experiments, including skeletons, prostheses, prosthetic eyes, skin and muscle strengthening, and even plans for the integration of human consciousness and AI.

These are nothing, SOL company has even turned these experiments into reality.

As for the main conductors of the experiment, except for Hong Shangsheng and some well-known domestic and foreign scientists, the rest of them have been blackened.

There is no problem if it is blackened. After all, it is not uncommon for scientists to be dismissed and killed in a company.

The key issue is time!

“These documents were drafted last century!?”

That’s right! Time!

The Scarlet Shepherd was surprised to find that the latest time these documents were drafted was more than thirty years ago, and during that time, even telephones had just become popular!

Humans' experiments with AI and human body modification...such experiments should not have occurred during that time period! These high-tech experiments should not have occurred in the last century!

The scene in front of him gave the bloody shepherd a sense of disharmony in time and space, just like discovering a car spark plug wrapped in a cave formed over hundreds of millions of years.

Some comical and unbelievable realities appeared before him in the form of calculations, errors were forced to be rationalized, and haphazardly written programs could actually start and run.

"This is impossible..." Where am I living? Is this reality? Or is it the world in a novel?!

But soon, another document caught the eye of the Scarlet Shepherd, guiding him to find what he wanted, the design and origin of Ignis...

The moment he opened the document, the bloody shepherd had an incredible feeling. He felt that all the blood in his body was gathering towards the back of his neck, and a biting coldness made the hairs on his back stand on end.

"This is……"

"You shouldn't be here."

At this moment, a strange sigh came from the mind of the bloody shepherd, followed by a buzzing sound, just like the beating of the brain when you have a cold, and the honeycomb-shaped crystal floor under your feet also trembled.

The world spins and then changes.

The floor beneath his feet turned into black and white squares of different colors, and the sky was no longer made of data, but turned into an endless starry sky, like a chessboard of gods.

Thinking of a certain internet urban legend, the bloody shepherd was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around. Behind him, a white stone pillar towering into the sky soared straight to the top of the clouds.

The stone pillar carved into the image of "Emperor" stands behind the bloody shepherd as if it were a descending divine will.

"The real person in charge of SOL Company, King..." The corner of the bloody shepherd's eye twitched, "It's impossible...it's actually you. Do I have such a big reputation?"

"I don't care about identity," King's voice came from the white pillar. "For me, anyone who can get here and find the clues in the documents is my prey."

"Clues? What clues?" The bloody shepherd said while looking around, looking for a way out, "Am I the prey? What a pity."

Damn! Where’s the logout button on the menu?

Just disappeared inexplicably?

As if he had seen a ghost, the Scarlet Shepherd panicked in his heart, but then he immediately forced himself to calm down.

The other party probably didn't summon him here just for chatting...

"Smart people should know their place at this time. Maybe we should be more honest after finding that we can't log out?"

"I didn't understand what you were talking about at all." The Scarlet Shepherd said, "I came here just to find..."

"Looking for something to defeat Ignis, right? So that Playmaker and Soul Burner can defeat Ignis of Light, or in other words, you can defeat all Ignis..."

The bloody shepherd suddenly had an illusion. He seemed to feel that King was smiling. It was not that happy, but more like a disdainful smile, with an arrogance that had already seen through everything.

The Scarlet Shepherd took a step back and became alert. He suddenly remembered one thing, which was the origin of the Another program...

According to Hanno Knight's confession, another was not designed and written by Hanno Knight at all, but came from an unknown object... If anyone knows more about link vrains than Hanno Rider, SOL's enemy, and can write

If another weird program like this comes out, there will be no one except people from SOL company, right?

And the one in front of me is undoubtedly written and distributed by the person who knows link vrains best in SOL company?

Thinking of this possibility, the bloody shepherd broke into a cold sweat.

"What do you know?" The other party is the real person in charge of SOL Company, and it is natural for him to know everything in link vrains.

The Scarlet Shepherd planned to find another way to escape. He was stalling for time and constantly contacted the forced logout button in the external link to get out of here.

Although I didn’t get what I wanted, it was still much better than being left half-dead by another...

"Contact the external button to log out?" At this moment, King in front of him suddenly said.

The bloody shepherd stopped his hand for a moment and raised his head.

Of course! He wanted to say this, but he was even more afraid that he would be turned into a vegetative state by another person in the next second.
To be continued...
