Chapter 66 NO.0041: Open the path

Jiang Zhou found a reason to prevaricate the other party's proposal.

But Booker still didn't believe in evil and had to take Jiang Zhou and connect it to the multi-purpose printer to try again.

After all, I could bring back so many good things in just one trip, which would make anyone excited.

Diving into the abyss of the dark web to salvage technological blueprints has never been an easy task.

The Styx Firewall is two-way, which not only prevents malicious programs from entering human society, but also prevents humans from diving into the abyss of the dark web - countless stowaways have "drowned" when trying to cross the firewall.

In the river Styx where the feathers never fall.

In most cases, only through the deep dive interface on the firewall can one reach the Abyss Dark Web relatively safely. And only the deep dive interface is large enough and stable enough to generate a simulated environment that is more in line with human understanding in the Abyss Dark Web.

.

Therefore, the quality of a deep-diving interface has become a crucial matter. The rigid requirement for a corporate consortium to enter the "Order of Olympus" is that it must firmly control at least one α-level deep-diving interface.

.

Just like what Jiang Zhou and the others experienced before, after diving into an extremely vast "map", it doesn't take long before they encounter malicious programs wandering there, and after killing the malicious programs, there is a high probability that they can obtain the technological blueprint... This

In the eyes of small companies, resettlement area governments, or private abyss wanderers, this is simply unbelievable.

In more cases, they would have to take a lot of risks just to cross the Styx Firewall. Then after entering the Abyss Dark Web, they would need to explore and search with great difficulty, and often people would suffer heavy casualties without finding anything.

In Booker's eyes, Mr. "Paradox" most likely pulled them into the abyss and dark web through an interface close to α level. In other words, Mr. "Paradox" at least had the ability to communicate with that person.

Fourteen companies that are like gods, equal strength.

Rounding things off, they can also gain the same ability to accumulate technology as those Olympian gods through Mr. "Paradox".

Therefore, Booker wanted to try a few more "trials" to accumulate more foundation.

However, at this moment in the Abyss Dark Web, Jiang Zhou had already joined 136 and the others, and was using the "Lone Walker Flying Disc" to carry people across the rift in batches.

Now if we drag Booker down, we can only ask him to visit the magnificent rift valley.

Maybe Booker will meet his old friends down there, 136, Chinatsu Sakura and the others.

Jiang Zhou could blind Booker's perception, but he couldn't put a filter on his companions.

What will you say then?

Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I brought Booker, the former leader of the intelligence team, here. By the way, he is now the leader of Icarus, don't worry.

It’s impossible to explain it this way, right?

However, seeing Booker's strong request, Jiang Zhou agreed to try again.

After all, the choice to recruit people is up to you. If I say no, it means no!

So after several attempts, Booker finally gave up.

But even after giving up, he kept mumbling something. For example, he asked Liao Qi to recall with him the previous successful dives, whether he had done any actions, or said something that triggered the keyword.

Believe in this card-drawing metaphysics... Are you a rat controlled by a Skinner box?

Jiang Zhou complained silently in his heart.

It was meaningless and wasted another half an hour. Booker left first because he had to go to the first floor of the resettlement area to meet with Shen Lan, the spokesperson of the "Tenth Floor".

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Zhou an address and asked him to go to Bai Dong's place later for "emotional fine-tuning" to stabilize his mental index.

Jiang Zhou glanced at the address:

The resettlement area is on the fourth floor below, Huimin Community.

A place that is extremely familiar to Liao Qi,

Liao Qi's mother, who had gone crazy, settled there.

…………

Because the all-terrain vehicle was lost, and the number of people the Frisbee could carry was very limited, after crossing the chasm, everyone had no choice but to walk to the next crumb.

In the previous separate operations, only Jiang Zhou and Qianxia Ying's group encountered malicious programs from other depths. After all, they had a car before, and they were exploring along the cracks, and they had not expected that there would be

The monster from the lower level climbed up, and that's how it happened.

However, it was a blessing in disguise for them in the end, as they obtained an aircraft from Depth 4 - the other two groups failed to find anything that could cross the gap, and both suffered a certain degree of injuries during the search.

Along the way, after listening to Qianxia Ying's story about their experiences - especially when Jiang Zhou carried the hero who died together and took the depth 4 liquid metal humanoid into the abyss, and finally came back miraculously, everyone was in awe.

He looked at Jiang Zhou in shock, who was stepping on the Frisbee to save energy.

Such a decisive decision and such explosive luck.

They couldn't help but ask themselves whether they could have come back alive if they had been the ones who encountered them at that time.

"It's just luck..."

Facing their surprise and approval, Jiang Zhou answered absentmindedly.

This is not because he is modest. Jiang Zhou feels that he is not a humble person at all - in his view, modesty has always been a trick used by conceited people to suppress before they want to promote, and he can reasonably accept other people's evaluation of himself, no matter what.

Good or bad is actually a rare virtue.

And the reason why he was so absent-minded at the moment was entirely because his thoughts were occupied by other things.

The "black dog" sent by Hecate to guide him was still following them at this moment.

Although Jiang Zhou couldn't see it, he felt this way.

It's like after returning home, although there are no obvious signs, you can be sure that there is someone at home.

An instinctive feeling.

More than that...

Jiang Zhou looked at the location of the next "breadcrumb mark" on the signal source.

After losing their means of transportation, the time it took them to get to the next mark was actually shortened.

Along the way, Jiang Zhou could feel that every time they crossed an intersection, they would suddenly be much closer to the signal source.

Recalling the name Hecate called herself before: the goddess of the dark moon who is in charge of all intersections.

Based on her statement, the reason why myths and legends are used to refer to powerful existences in the abyss and dark web is to avoid keyword crawling and obscure their own characteristics.

Jiang Zhou remembered that Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, was known as the "goddess of roads and crossing paths" and served as a guide in mythology.

In other words, the nature of the other party may be close to a proxy server or a virtual private network?

Or at least a similar concept.

After all, I had entered the maze by mistake while constantly changing paths.

And right now, could it be that the goddess of the dark moon who is in depth 7, is now several levels away, quietly helping their team, unknowingly jumping nodes, accelerating the process of return?
