This so-called pet shelter was a very amazing facility. After Zhang Zian and Zhuang Xiaodie walked in, they were led around by a ball of light with the excuse of adopting a pet.
At first, he was a little worried that the light ball would recognize him, but it turned out that this worry was unnecessary. The two simulated human images created by Zhuang Xiaodie were flawless. After all, she had created a bustling crowd in his dream, including his acquaintances. The difference between humans was far greater than the difference between simulated humans. Did he notice anything wrong at that time?
No, there wasn ‘t.
Everyone was so lifelike that even if they saw it, they wouldn’t think it was anyone else.
This time, she was injecting the images of the two of them into the dream of the group of simulated humans. Because they were all connected to each other, she did not need to shape a world, and the work was easier.
However, she did not look relaxed. After entering the asylum, Zhang Zian was basically the one leading the conversation. She played the image of a gentle wife, sometimes smiling and sometimes nodding. In fact, she was using this to cover up her absent-mindedness, because she had to be distracted by fighting against the firewall and intrusion detection mechanism of the virtual human.
For humans, dreams were dreams, and reality was reality. However, for simulated humans, the boundaries were not so clear. After all, they all relied on electronic systems to sense the world. Whether it was dream or reality, they were just electronic signals.
Therefore, she did not just simply defend. She hid in the vast torrent of electronic signals inside the network of artificial humans. Sometimes, as long as she quietly modified some of the feedback signals from the outside world, she could make the artificial humans make wrong judgments and even cause interference to their own operating logic.
For example, they didn’t sense temperature through the skin like humans, but through the sensors distributed on the surface of the body. If she fine-tuned the feedback signal of the temperature sensor, it would make a certain artificial human misjudge the temperature, and its misjudgment would be transmitted to other artificial humans in real time, which would also make them misjudge.
Through similar principles, she could provide great convenience for this trip-for example, the ball of light mentioned the adoption procedures, but in the blink of an eye, it indicated that it had received the procedures and reviewed everything that was purely electronic. While it was convenient, it also provided infinite possibilities for skilled hackers.
This was a battle in the virtual space, and no one could help her.
The interior of the building had a minimalistic style, so minimalistic that it was dizzying. The corridor was a vast expanse of white. If it wasn’t for the light floating to a certain position and the door in a certain position automatically becoming transparent, Zhang Zian wouldn’t have even noticed a door in the corridor.
These doors were like any of Doraemon’s doors. After each door became transparent, another world would appear behind the door. Although he knew that every world was a digital virtual world, he was still extremely shocked to see that there were no flaws.
Behind these doors, he saw a dazzling fantasy world. Some of the worlds were so strange that they didn’t even look like they were on earth. There was an elf in every world, and all kinds of elves. Some elves had very obvious characteristics, which made him think of a famous pet in history or Science at a Glance. Some elves looked very ordinary, but judging elves by their appearance was the most wrong thing to do.
These large numbers of elves were doing different things in different worlds. Most of them might not realize that they were in a virtual world, and a few might have discovered it. However, if they were unable to escape the virtual world, they would only suffer more pain if they discovered it.
There were so many Elfins that Zhang Zian didn’t have time to check them one by one. He described the Elfins he wanted in the light without leaving a trace and tried to narrow the selection range as much as possible. For example, he would first rule out the elves of reptiles, insects, and pure water creatures, which would save a lot of time.
Of course, he hoped that the orb would provide a list of all the Elfins to choose from, but that would be too obvious.
He didn’t dare to narrow down the scope too much.
The ball of light followed his request and led them to visit the Elfins that met the requirements one by one. Some of them were Elfins he didn’t know. He looked at the Elfins through the transparent door. Some of them were free, some were lonely, but he couldn’t take them all away. With their pride, they might not be willing to go with him. That was why the human replica with the child outside had only adopted an ordinary cat and not an elfin.
When he saw fina, he was finally relieved. It was safe and sound. It was furious in its world as usual, until the light ball opened the door through some unknown means. After they walked in, fina stared at him suspiciously. He was thinking about how to communicate with it, but it came out with him obediently.
After that, he found old time tea, famous, Pi, Sihwa, Vladimir, Richard, and Fati one after another. In the end, the light ball even recommended snowy Lionet.
It was strange that even though he looked so strange and unfamiliar, and his smell was completely different, the elves seemed to recognize him and followed him obediently. Some of the elves with a strong desire to perform even put on a show of reluctance, as if they had reluctantly agreed to leave with him.
On the way, the elves tacitly stopped talking to each other, mainly because they were also attracted by the grotesque world behind each door.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Zian also tried to apply for adoption of two or three elves that he didn’t know. As expected, the light ball either replied that he had communicated with the elves and the elves didn’t agree to be adopted, or they were rejected in person after seeing the elves.
Every elf had their own pride, and even when they were caught, they had to cater to their interests. For example, Fina’s jewelry, Richard’s flirtatious, old time tea’s kind and righteous oppa, how could they be so easy to take home?
After being rejected, he expressed his regret and showed more interest in the elves that he didn’t get than the current elves.
While they were exchanging pleasantries, Zhuang Xiaodie poked him from behind. He knew that it was time to leave. Anyway, the mission had been completed. As long as he disconnected the mobile phone from the world, even if the virtual human discovered it later, what could he do?
So, the two of them and the elves politely said goodbye to the light orbs and were politely sent out of the shelter. They were welcomed to come back at any time if they encountered any problems. If any pet was not to their satisfaction, they could return it to the shelter unconditionally.
After leaving the shelter and turning a corner, Zhuang Xiaodie grabbed his arm. When he subconsciously looked back, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Then, he woke up.
