At the same time, in the Forest of Phantasms in the inner world.
This was a place filled with electricity. The reason it was called a 'forest' was because the scenery here was complicated. It was like the shadows of the trees. The sound waves, electromagnetism, light, and even time and space in the forest were intertwining and changing with an unpredictable pattern. They were all visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, in the depths of the forest, a person who was originally running at high speed suddenly stopped.
"Boss, it sure is hard to find you here." He looked at a black stone before him and said, "Even with the constant signal you sent me, I still have to look for you for so long …"
"Of course." The one who replied him was a strange-looking black stone that was floating in the air. Its size was about three cubic meters. It was made of crystal. The surface of the stone was decorated with gray patterns. "The reason I am here is so that no one can find me."
"Fine." The man shrugged and replied in a casual tone, "In any case … long time no see, boss."
"Red Iron, I have told you many times," the stone said. "Do not call me boss." His voice and tone were soft and pleasant to the ears. "If you do not wish to call me sir, you can just call me ZERO."
"Fine, fine, sir." K1-RED Iron responded impatiently and then said, "By the way … how did you end up like this?" He studied ZERO from head to toe. "I feel like I have seen you somewhere before …"
Hearing that, ZERO only replied with three words, "Formless Demon."
"Oh! Yes, yes, "Red Iron said." I knew you looked familiar … So, you are the big rock from the Nine Spectres. "
"The big rock that you mentioned is a mirror file that I created for myself when the main universe of Thriller Paradise was formed," ZERO replied. "When necessary, I will activate this backup …" He paused. "… For example, now."
"Hmm …" Red Iron said thoughtfully. "A thing that originated from you that is similar to a bin file can be listed as one of the Nine Spectres in the main universe … Just how powerful is your real body?"
"As my subordinate, is it appropriate for you to ask such a question?" ZERO said. "Also, did you get the main point of my words?"
"The main point?" Red Tie was stunned for a moment. "Oh, I understand." He looked at ZERO again. "Did something happen to you?"
"Nonsense..." ZERO replied gloomily. "I've already started the backup and hid in a place like this. What do you think?"
"So …" Chi Tie scratched his head. "What is it?"
"No comment," ZERO replied.
"F * ck! Then why did you call me here? "Chi Tie replied unhappily.
"I have a mission that I need to explain to you in person." ZERO's tone turned serious. "It's not safe to use long-distance communication. If the data is intercepted on the table, it will ruin everything."
"The chances of that happening are slim …" Akatsuki said.
"But it's not zero." ZERO said, "We have to eliminate the possibility of accidents as much as possible, even if the probability is very low."
"It sounds like …" Chi Tie said. "This mission is very troublesome …"
"Yes," ZERO said. "But … it's still within my calculations." He paused for a second. "Anyway, compared to the mission 23 is carrying out, the risk factor of your mission is very low."
"Ah … that's true," Chi Tie said. Red Iron continued, "Your battle plan of 'snatching SCP-079, then deliberately falling into a trap, pretending to be desperate and escaping into Pi's labyrinth, luring Lynk and Ed in while you're at it', if I were to carry it out … it would basically fail 100%."
"I know," ZERO said. "I don't need any calculation to know that kind of thing …" He sighed (although he didn't have the organ to breathe). "Okay … listen to your mission …"
…
On the other side, LJN theme park, pixel junkyard.
"Well … the environment is not bad." When Feng Bujue said this, he put his hands in his pockets and followed behind Lute. He looked around with an expression of a country bumpkin entering the city.
"What do you mean by not bad?" Lute asked without turning her head. "What's so good about this kind of environment that only appears in apocalyptic movies?"
"Okay, I'm just saying …" Brother Jue replied.
Then, D2-RED turned to Lute. "This is strange. Isn't this one of Origin's bases? How come the scan didn't detect any of your Anomalies nearby?"
"We've been short on manpower recently." Lute said as she turned to glare at Brother Jue. "In the last mission, most of my direct subordinates were killed."
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I killed them all." Brother Jue narrowed his eyes.
As they spoke, Lute had already reached her personal 'sofa' and sat down comfortably.
After she sat down, she turned to look at D2-RED and D2-GREEN and threw out a very direct question. "I say … the two of you, do you want to be my subordinates?"
For humans, to make such a request when they had just met each other would definitely be strange. But among Anomalies, there was no such problem. In the world of data, this was like a simple access operation; there was no such thing as inappropriate.
This was the inner world. High-level data invited low-level Anomalies to join them, and then they would expand their power and carry out their ideology. This kind of thing happened almost every moment.
"Hey … don't you think it's very unlucky to say this sentence together with the previous sentence?" Feng Bujue would not be happy if he did not say something like this.
But Lute ignored him.
"Join Origin …" Red did not mind Lute's previous sentence, but her answer was, "But I want to be friends with humans, so I'll pass."
"Listen carefully, little girl. I'm not asking you to join Origin; I'm asking you to be my subordinate. "Lute changed her expression and repeated herself.
"Huh?" Red was startled like she did not fully understand what Lute meant.
At that moment, no one would have thought that … the taciturn Qing, who always had a nonchalant attitude, would suddenly interject. "Say yes, Red."
Red turned to look at Qing and said rather woodenly, "Hmm … since even Qing has said so." She turned to Lute again. "Okay, we'll join you. Erm … should I call you sir? "
"You can call me anything you want." After saying that, Lute ignored the two girls. She moved her gaze to Brother Jue and said, "Alright … now that there are no outsiders here, we need to talk."
