Barrier of Light

Chapter 2 Answers



"Gate shattered, A-009 escaped."

"Repeat, gate shattered, A-009 escaped."

On the night when the alarm sounded, some people in Dateng City were destined not to sleep peacefully.

Wei Shu stared at the dozens of screens flickering in the emergency meeting room with a tense expression, and the emergency report tightly clenched in his hand was pinched into folds.

The veins on his forehead were bulging, and he pressed his fists heavily in front of the console, unable to understand: "How could the gate be breached? With so many guards in the prison, how did A-009 escape?"

"Only three days after Dateng City took over A-009, there was a prison escape incident. The emergency report said that the broken gate was a network problem of 'Deep Sea'...but how could there be a problem with 'Deep Sea'?"

Wei Shu turned his head and looked behind him: "Anyway, it has escaped now. Ms. Nan Jin, you are the commissioner in charge of escorting A-009, you should be very clear... the danger of this thing after it escapes, right? We need to get it out as soon as possible." Take it into custody again!"

At the door of the conference room, a woman with red long hair was wearing a black large windbreaker. At this moment, her hands were put behind her head and she was coiling her long hair.

She didn't respond to Wei Shu, but calmly stared at the flickering screens.

Dozens of staff members were each in charge of a screen, and each screen was cut into dozens of pieces. All the monitoring from the gate to the containment city was retrieved, but no one found anything unusual... After the alarm that the gate was broken, A-009 seems to have evaporated from the world. This surveillance network can capture the trace of a mosquito flying by, but it cannot capture a single hair of A-009.

Nan Jin slowly coiled her long hair.

Her gaze became dark and lifeless. At the same time, dozens of screens and hundreds of monitors emitted light sources, which suddenly became slow in her eyes.

It's not that A-009 really disappeared.

It doesn't have the ability to teleport, it's just that the speed is too fast, so fast... even if these ordinary workers slow down to double the speed, they can't capture its moving track.

Noticing the change in the light in Nan Jin's eyes, Wei Shu raised his hand solemnly, and made a gesture to signal his operators to be quiet and not to disturb Nan Jin's observation.

The entire conference room was silent.

In the end, Nan Jin locked on a screen, and her spiritual power locked on a shadow on the screen. In the specific field of vision that no one could see, she saw the "truth" - the shadow of A-009 appeared in a In the shadow of the crows, if one really saw the woman's face, one would feel a strong sense of oppression.

Its hazard sequence is A.

The woman's eyes quickly extended, moving from one screen to another, and at the same time, a winding escape trajectory was depicted in the mind map.

In the process of staring, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed out of those godless pupils.

"It finally appeared on...Light Rail Line 13. The last section of the train was very long, and it couldn't get off." The woman in the windbreaker looked at the time and said softly, "If you take a shortcut, you can stop it at the exit of the tunnel."

Wei Shu had already been waiting in front of the control console, and the moment he heard Line 13, he immediately called up the monitoring of several main roads along the way, slowed down the speed, and saw that ghostly shadow like a ghost...then Dao Ying smashed through the gate, escaped, and fled all the way towards the suburbs of Dayeng City.

"You want to stop it, alone?" Wei Shu frowned, and said worriedly: "It's not a trivial matter to arrest a class A fugitive, maybe we can ask Mr. Shu for help."

"I have already sent a message to the teacher. But judging from the current situation, I can't wait anymore. A-009 is moving too fast. Once we lose track, the next time we lock... I don't know when it will be."

Nan Jin calmly said, "You come to organize backup, and I'll delay."

Wei Shu's expression was solemn, the other party was right... This is probably the last chance, and it cannot be easily let go.

And it seems that A-009 is determined to escape from Dateng. After tonight, trying to hunt him down is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

"Then... act! As long as you can stop A-009, I will guarantee enough backup!"

Wei Shu made up his mind, and at the same time felt relieved. Fortunately, it was Line 13... During this time period, no one would take this kind of light rail heading to remote suburbs.

"Wait... what's that?"

"enlarge."

"Zoom in again."

Wei Shu suddenly saw a flying black dot appear in the last monitoring line of sight.

At the same time, a series of black lines appeared on his head... After the surveillance image was enlarged, it could be seen vaguely. In the picture, a boy about 17 or 18 years old was running all the way, before the light rail was closed. Boarded the last train that was supposed to leave.

Which unlucky guy is this?

"..." Wei Shu looked at Nan Jin: "Can we still save him?"

The woman in the windbreaker was silent.

"Line 13 will pass through a very long tunnel. He will spend at least 20 minutes with A-009." Nan Jin looked down at his watch and said a cold joke with no expression on his face, "When I arrived , should be hot."

Wei Shu's expression was complicated. He was an insider who had read the file, and he knew exactly what it meant to be with A-009 for 20 minutes.

If it's still warm, it's good enough.

Condolences to this boy.

Immediately afterwards, he restrained his expression, took a deep breath, and put these distracting thoughts behind him. The most important thing right now is to direct the next containment work. He chose to put all his eggs in one basket. There was no way out. A-009 must be contained smoothly tonight. In order to minimize the loss...

"Link to 'Deep Sea', open permissions, I need assistance."

Wei Shu's voice echoed in the control room.

When the word "deep sea" was mentioned, the person in charge's eyes could not help but become serious. The emergency report submitted by the rear this time believed that the cause of A-009's escape from prison was a fault in the operation of the deep sea.

Wei Shu really couldn't fully believe this report.

Because "Deep Sea", this huge network covering and connecting the entire East Continent, has been operating tightly and comprehensively for more than 20 years. In the past millions of event calculations, all tasks have been perfectly completed, and there has never been a single error... And This time, he would like to believe that it was a false report by the staff. In fact, there are always false reports every year, and it will always be proved to be human error later.

The big screen dimmed, and there was a waiting picture of layers of waves sweeping and washing. The loading effect in the lower right corner was very retro. If you look carefully, you will find that it is a blurry girl made of mosaics, stepping on the beach. The grains of sand run in place.

Wei Shu tapped his fingers and waited patiently.

In the end, the room was filled with brilliance, and a crisp and sweet voice sounded in the control room.

"The deep sea has been linked... Serial number V349708069527, I am very happy to serve you."

...

...

The lights were dim.

The train jolted.

This light rail is a long snake crashing towards the end of the shattered night.

And Gu Shen was inside the snake's belly, he saw the eyes of that tall lady, completely different from normal people, the ones emitting red light were two snake-like vertical pupils, slender like swords.

Madam's voice echoed in the empty carriages of the light rail.

"Yes... obviously, you touched it."

As for Gu Shen's answer, followed closely by him, cold sweat oozes from his forehead, and his voice is trembling, but his consciousness at this moment is unprecedentedly clear.

Touching the ruler with one hand, grasping the sharp knife with the other.

The woman in the tall dress was startled, as if a little disappointed.

She paused for a moment, then continued to ask politely: "Then...why?"

In the dim light, Gu Shen stared closely at the blood-stained old newspaper in front of his wife's lap. He tried to see the contents of the newspaper clearly, but the light was too dim to see clearly.

Gu Shen chuckled softly: "Ma'am... With all due respect, not everything can be embodied perfectly, but when we touch a larger field, we will only have more than we imagined. Between 3 and 4 already encompasses infinity."

The red glow in the serpentine pupils of the woman in the tall dress flickered faintly.

She moved her lips as if smiling.

Seeing this smile, Gu Shen only felt creepy. He kept a relatively safe distance and moved forward slowly. The oppressive feeling covering his heart has not dissipated until now.

He had no doubt that if he said a wrong sentence, or even a single word... would trigger the condition for the woman in the dress to draw her sword.

So he could only keep silent, and slowly approached the woman in the silence.

That newspaper is the only information medium through which I can understand the other party. If I can read it, it may be helpful.

But the wife just spit out two words: "Continue."

"...π is an infinite and non-recurring constant, which means it has endless precision, and on a finite-precision ruler, there is no point that can mark π."

While Gu Shen spoke, trying to stabilize the other party, he slowly squatted down, raised his head in the cramped space, and looked up at the tall woman. This sentence seemed to offend the other party. The smile on the woman's lips disappeared instantly, and her eyes became Snakes are generally cold.

She held the boning knife, and the whole light rail was blown with icy cold wind.

It was also at this moment that Gu Shen saw the newspaper trembling in the wind, and the scarlet blood characters...that was a series of numbers and symbols, as well as proof formulas.

Some familiar.

Where did he see it.

The brain is working like crazy.

Gu Shen recalled the scene when he saw a woman for the first time, she was reading a newspaper at that time... her expression was mesmerized.

It turned out that it was so.

"But even so, I still firmly believe that between 3 and 4, you can touch π."

Gu Shen raised his head, his voice was hoarse.

"Madam... As for the reason, you and I both know, don't you?"

"Alan Turing."

When Gu Shen read out the name, Mrs. Gao's body visibly shook.

She stared at Gu Shen in surprise.

Yes, Gu Shen found the "answer"... Madam asked herself to continue, not because she wanted to hear the proof process, but because she wanted to seek a common aspiration.

The dense mathematical symbols and proof formulas on that newspaper point to the ultimate point, which is also the object of fanaticism in the eyes of Mrs. Gao.

All she wanted to hear was the name of the person.

Alan Turing.

The famous person who created the deep sea network, few people know that he is also a mathematician, and in the field of mathematics, π is within the set of 3 and 4, and can be easily touched.

In the field of physics, π is like a non-existing fictitious number that cannot be touched, let alone referenced by a scale.

After the name was spoken.

The cold wind of the light rail suddenly went out.

The flickering lights seemed to go out as well.

Madam's expression softened, she stretched out a hand, as if she wanted to help Gu Shen up, but a ruler slipped out of her sleeve, it was the silver ruler she gestured to earlier.

Gu Shen was startled, and subconsciously reached out to take the ruler.

next moment--

Two people connected by a ruler are separated.

The light rail exits the tunnel.

The sobbing gust of wind poured down, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit. Gu Shen was thrown flying uncontrollably, holding the ruler, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Boom!"

Gu Shen's complexion changed, and he heard a muffled sound, as if something heavy fell hard on the light rail car, and above his head, a pair of footprints visible to the naked eye were stepped on——

Tens of thousands of fire and light arcs splashed.

Accompanied by ear-piercing and sharp roars, a long knife pierced through the iron sheet of the carriage at an angle, and pierced the shoulder of the woman in the tall dress with incomparable precision, like a nail, nailing the tall woman to the side of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, the second knife was inserted into the roof of the carriage, and the blade rotated like cutting paper. A large piece of iron sheet on the roof of the carriage fell off, and a red-haired woman in a windbreaker landed on the iron sheet with a bang.

Nan Jin landed right in front of Gu Shen.

She squinted her eyes, glanced back at the young man sitting behind her with his arms around his clothes, and reported calmly.

"Wei Shu...that unlucky guy is still alive."

Unlucky man, this title is not bad, at least it's appropriate... Gu Shen grinned, and put his arms around the iron railing to stabilize his body.

Now the feeling all over the body, besides pain, is dizziness.

He carefully took the ruler in his arms and hid it inside the placket. When the ruler was touched, it felt unexpectedly cool, making him extra sober.

The woman in black dress who was nailed to the side of the carriage was extremely angry at the moment. She stretched out a hand and grasped the long knife that Nan Jin nailed into her body, trying to pull it out.

"laugh--"

The moment her five fingers touched the long knife, the blade burst into flames, and the blazing silver light illuminated the entire carriage!

Madam screamed in pain and had to let go of her palm.

The silver blade was burning with blazing light, but the light was rapidly dimming——

time is limited.

But Nan Jin didn't do anything at this time, but chose to wait.

She is waiting for Wei Shu's instructions.

Current rustle.

"Transfer the battle location, first rescue this young man named 'Gu Shen'."

Wei Shu's voice sounded, word by word, without emotion:

"Don't fight A-009 on the train, this is the best solution given by the deep sea."
