(I know that writing about a "good person" like Xu Le at this stage would be looked down upon and ignored in this era. However, I didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to ignore him. Occasionally, I would receive more than just disdain.
Just thinking about being a little more normal could actually be called a pervert. Not only is Xu Le a pervert, even I, the author who wrote about him, am also a pervert. Taking care of a friend's woman, is that harboring ill intentions beforehand? Not having any thoughts about one's friend's woman is that acting pretentious? What kind of bandit's point of view is this?
I don't understand. I'll keep silent. I won't look at the book reviews, or else I'll be stupid and angry again.)

For a baby, everything outside the cradle was what he feared and yearned for the most. For a child, everything outside the room was what he feared and yearned for the most. For ancient humans, everything on the other side of the mountain was what they feared and yearned for the most. For modern citizens of the Federation, the universe at the end of the Black Curtain Sky was what they feared and yearned for the most.
What humans feared the most, what they yearned for the most, were all in the unknown.
Right now, Xu Le was caught in this dual state of extreme fear and yearning. Fully armed military police had already rushed in. He was about to be arrested, but he didn't have time to think about these things, because right now, he had already returned to the black dream. He saw the repeatedly flashing words about taking the initiative to contact.
What was on the other side of the black dream? Why did the other side take the initiative to contact him? What was taking the initiative to contact him? This was definitely not an illusion, but it was already about to scare Xu Le. This was definitely not epilepsy, but Xu Le truly felt like he was about to go crazy.
In the past, he had always thought that the Dark Dream and the blueprints that were lurking in his mind were all problems caused by the disguise chip that Uncle Feng Yu had left him. However, at this moment, he finally had some other thoughts.
The existence on the other side of the black dream seemed to have intelligence and could answer, but he didn't know what kind of existence it was.
Mechanic Feng Yu, the first person involved in the Bureau of Proclamation incident, was, without a doubt, the greatest monster of the Federation in the past 100 years. However, even this monster, when faced with the young Xu Le, deeply sighed in admiration. This person's calmness was even greater than his talent as a mechanic.
If an ordinary person were to face such a situation, they would have already fallen to the ground in fear, but Xu Le was still standing there, thinking.
…
…
"Accept."
After a long or short period of consideration, Xu Le made this decision in his mind almost subconsciously.
There was something that could enter one's mind and communicate with one's mind. This kind of panic was something that no one could bear in such a short time. Xu Le understood, but he didn't understand. However, in addition to his fear, he developed a boundless curiosity towards the existence at the end of the black dream. This was a professional quirk that had been cultivated as an engineer since childhood, and it was also a gamble that his current situation prompted him to make.
The Peace Axe hacked in all directions, but the Central Database, through a method that Xu Le could not understand, transferred all the data models and functional formulas related to quantum dynamics to Area B. Fully armed military police had already rushed in, and he was about to be arrested. He would no longer be able to stop that shameless agreement between the Federal Academy of Science and the Iron Calculator.
Trapped in despair, he suddenly entered the black dream again and encountered the unknown. This could be a variable, it could be an opportunity, it could be endless danger, but he still gambled. He gambled so decisively that he didn't care at all about the conflicting emotions that welled up in the depths of his heart the moment he entered the black dream.
Xu Le was a gambler. On the contrary, he was never willing to gamble on anything. However, at this moment, he had already lost everything. Other than his own life, there was nothing else to lose. If he didn't gamble now, when would he?
…
…
Xu Le didn't know that when he chose to accept the active communication in his mind, deep in the ground tens of kilometers away from the Third Department of the Shell Motor Corporation Research Institute, on the central computer light screen that shone all over the universe, there was a wave that made one's mind shake.
The data flow of the central computer was still so stable. The staff of the Bureau of Proclamation didn't notice anything strange. No one knew that in the core area of the central computer, the highest intelligence of the human mechanical civilization began to operate non-stop. It made logical judgments, but in the end, it could only return to chaos and give its own conclusion.
In the black dream, the line of white characters changed.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
This was a long line of white characters. It floated in the black background before Xu Le's eyes. Although it was silent and abnormally dry, it miraculously produced some kind of emotional resonance. It was like an old butler wearing a black suit was bowing in front of Xu Le. It was extremely polite and slightly humble. It used an authentic ancient aristocratic tone to ask questions.
Xu Le was stunned. He was thinking about what kind of existence was on the other side of the black dream. He didn't expect that this existence that could invade his brain would be so gentle.
…
…
"I want to erase all the data in this laboratory."
"You need to provide the legal documents of ownership recognized by the Federation."
…
…
When Xu Le made this request, he didn't expect the existence on the other side of the black dream to help him do it. Because even physical damage couldn't destroy the data under the monitoring of the central database.
However, the owner of those characters was like a lawyer. It made a reasonable response. For a moment, Xu Le was stunned. He thought of a possibility. He thought of his bet. Subconsciously, he thought that this strange existence that invaded his brain might really be omnipotent.
"I stored the legal documents in the computer in Room 413 of the Wangdu Prefectural Ming Apartments."
With just a few words, Xu Le had gradually gotten used to this way of conversing with his thoughts. After saying this, he prayed in his heart that this guy who invaded his brain could see those legal documents.
Almost instantly, the line of characters changed again.
"Legal authority confirmed. Please confirm if you want to erase it immediately."
"No! I want to transfer these data! "
Xu Le's eyes were extremely round. He didn't know if they could appear in the black dream. He stared at the line of white characters and suddenly thought of the importance of Professor Shen's data. He said loudly in his mind.
…
…
Countless characters, countless numbers, and countless incomprehensible models and formulas in the form of pictures fell from the sky like a waterfall. Sometimes it was gentle, sometimes it fell violently. It fell in front of Xu Le's eyes.
These were all the core data of Professor Shen's laboratory. Like a waterfall, they washed over Xu Le's eyes and entered his mind.
He felt that the black space was gradually becoming unstable. He could also feel that his brain was beginning to swell and hurt, and it was beginning to numb.
"Data transfer successful. Confirm to erase the original data?"
"No … Can you help me change the things inside?"
Human desires were endless, just like the fisherman in the ancient fairy tale. Since Xu Le had already made a bet and actively communicated with the existence that invaded his brain, although he was still terrified, he still didn't know what the other party was, and he didn't know what kind of situation he was about to face. Then … why didn't he ask the other party to do more?
Fortunately, the terrifying and omnipotent existence at the end of the black dream didn't leave in disappointment like the goldfish in the waves. It only silently and quickly completed the task that Xu Le gave it.
…
…
The military police didn't know what happened in the laboratory. When they rushed into the laboratory, they only saw the shattered metal pieces all over the floor, and the data rack that had been damaged to the extent that it was difficult to repair.
The young researcher who destroyed the laboratory seemed to be scared silly by the terrifying weapons in the hands of the military police. He stood there in a daze, motionless. The heavy Taiping Axe had long fallen to the ground.
The military police swarmed forward and pressed the young researcher, who didn't resist, to the ground. They used high-strength plastic rope to tie his hands tightly behind his back. Only then did they let out a slight sigh of relief. However, immediately after that, they found that the young researcher's face was frighteningly pale. They couldn't help but feel a little strange.
What was even stranger was that the young researcher's eyes were a little strange. From the moment the military police rushed in until he was pushed to the ground, this person's eyes didn't blink. Especially the pupil, which had shrunk into a black dot. It looked extremely terrifying, like a dead person.
The military police captain touched Xu Le's neck and confirmed that this person was alive. He couldn't help but frown. After hearing the orders from his superior through the communication device, his expression suddenly became serious. He signaled his subordinates to take this audacious guy who dared to destroy the Federation's confidential data out of the door of the laboratory.
Just as the group of people walked out of the laboratory with serious expressions, Xu Le, who was sandwiched between two military police, finally woke up slowly. His pupils gradually returned to normal, but his pale face didn't improve for a while.
A trace of confusion, a trace of joy, a trace of determination … and a trace of fear flashed through Xu Le's eyes.
All the data in Professor Shen's laboratory had been transferred into his brain, and the unknown existence had done some tampering with the backup data in the laboratory according to his thoughts. Everything was wonderful, but he didn't know where this wonderful feeling came from. Naturally, he felt fear in his heart.
The process of the data stream entering his brain, as well as the process of the final call and confirmation, made Xu Le understand one thing.
The black dream he experienced in the First Military Region's General Hospital and the structural blueprints he saw were exactly the same as today's experience. This was definitely not caused by the chip Uncle Feng Yu left for him. Then, at the end of the black dream, what exactly … was it?
To be able to instantly confirm the electronic legal documents he left in the apartment in Wangdu, to be able to ignore the defenses of the Federation's central database, to easily transfer and even modify the electronically protected data in the laboratory, and to be able to transmit this data into his brain through some mysterious means …
That thing could invade his brain and do so many unimaginable things. It was so mechanical yet seemed to have a life of its own. It seemed to be omnipresent and omnipotent.
Sweat dampened his hair and draped it weakly on his forehead. Surrounded by fully armed military police, he walked along the long corridor toward the military vehicle under the astonished gazes of his colleagues in the research institute.
Xu Le didn't have the slightest fear of being arrested and the subsequent hardships because his mind had long been completely occupied by the fear of the unknown great existence.
