Black Tech Internet Cafe System
Chapter 458: The Real World

In the movie, Morpheus, who was clothed in black and wearing a pair of sunglasses, said, “The pill you took is part of a trace program. It’s designed to disrupt your input and output carrier signals, so we can pinpoint your location.”

Thunderbolts flashed in the storm outside. While a rumbling thunder rolling outside the window, Neo began to transform!

“What’s happening?” Mo Xian stared at Neo intently.

Wang Xie watched the scene curiously.

Other disciples from the Heavenly Academy also stared at Neo intently while his body was engulfed by liquid metallic material.

“What will happen?” Yue Bai, Li Lanruo, and the other girls all stared at the scene.

“Is this a fantasy realm?” Demonic Woman Ning Bi guessed uneasily.

“Impossible… Everything is real here…”

Everyone stared at Neo without blinking, not wanting to miss any detail.

The movie continued.

“It’s going into replication.”

“Tank, we’re going to need a signal soon.”

“Located.”

“Targeting, almost there…”

“…”

A series of electronic beeping sounds came…

“He’s going into arrest.”

“Lock! I got him!”

Among horrified exclamations, a high-tech tank filled with red liquid appeared.

In it was a man who had tubes attached to his spine, the back of his head, and other places on his body.

Looking out from the water tank, the man saw rows and rows of neatly placed high-tech tanks.

He turned to look forward and saw two huge pillars reaching up into the sky. On the pillars were densely placed high-tech tanks like that looked like warm eggs.

Looking down, he saw a bottomless abyss with many jumping electrical currents.

Looking up, he saw a seemingly limitless number of pillars with high-tech tanks on them, and his high-tech tank was one of the many.

“What… What are these?!” Seeing this scene, even the grand cultivators such as Zong Wu in Yuanyang City were shocked.

More importantly, they should be in the room with Morpheus anthe d other hackers, right?!

Could it be that it really was just a dream?! What are these cocoon-like high-tech tanks ?

The big white deer’s legs turned to jelly, and it dropped to the ground with tears. “So scary!”

Some cultivators from Yuanyang City stepped back subconsciously.

“Sir, what the heck are these things?!” Su Tianji also looked alarmed. Isn’t it supposed to be a world like that in Grand Theft Auto 5? How come it suddenly changed into this world?!

Her two disciples hugged each other and shrieked in fear.

Even the fearless Demon Woman was surprised, and her expression changed. Is this the truth?

Even Nalan Hongwu looked astonished.

“Master, what… is this?!” Wang Xie backed off subconsciously while glancing at Gu Tingyun beside him.

Humans’ fear came from the unknown. However, sometimes the truth was even more horrifying than the unknown!

Only the non-human creatures in here could be compared to Gu Tingyun’s age and experience, and his cultivation strength was almost unrivaled. However, at this moment, his old face had changed color as well.

“What are these damn things?! I don’t like this feeling.” The big demon floated back to the middle of the crowd from the foremost position.

Then, all the tubes were removed from Neo’s body, and he slid down from the high-tech tank before being picked up.

“Welcome… to the real world.” In the aircraft, Morpheus and the others wore crude sweaters, looking like refugees from a disaster. He looked totally different from his previous image, where he wore a pair of sunglasses and a black coat.

Inside the aircraft were antique-looking machines.

The audience glanced around the real world and watched the people in the aircraft help Neo recover his bodily functions. The audience looked alarmed and shocked when they saw the plug holes all over Neo’s body.

They felt fearful about the unknown and dreaded the truth at the same time.

They had vague yet strong anticipation, waiting for the people in the movie to explain the scenes they had seen.

What is truth?

What is real?

They watched the recovered Neo enter the previous world again. With a tube connecting the plug in the back of his head, he relaxed and then found that he was suddenly inside a pure white world.

A virtual reality world!

“Right now we’re inside a computer program??!”

“Is it really so hard to believe?” In the movie, Morpheus explained, “What is real? How do you define real? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.”

“This is the world that you know.”

All the cultivators watched their conversation dumbfoundedly.

Is this the so-called real?!

Is it just signals interpreted by the body?

It was ridiculously simple, but no one could laugh at this moment.

I’m surprised that it’s so easy to turn fantasy into reality!

The virtual reality world in the movie was horrifying to them. The so-called signals could completely keep people’s awareness in the virtual reality world.

Perhaps in their eyes, a human body was no different from an advanced and complicated spiritual artifact.

The conversation between the two continued.

“This is the world as it was at the end of the twentieth century.” Morpheus turned on the TV which showed the scenes of their former world.

“It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix.”

“We have only bits and pieces of information but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early twenty-first century, all of mankind was united in celebration. We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI.”

“A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines.”

“AI?” Many cultivators from Yuanyang City looked puzzled.

“AI?! Artificial intelligence?” Some people saw such a thing in Resident Evil. “Red Queen?”

“Red Queen? What’s that?” Zong Wu asked curiously, “What is artificial intelligence?”

Obviously, the customers in the new shop couldn’t understand this term.

However, the customers from the old shops were different since they had encountered this world in the movie ‘Resident Evil’ and the game ‘Grand Theft Auto 5’.

“People who don’t understand AI can go and watch the movie ‘Resident Evil’,” Lan Mo said, “It is an intelligence created by humans; it is something like artifact spirits.”

The calculation ability beyond humans’ imagination and the intelligence controlling everything like a shadow were still nightmarish for many players of Resident Evil.
