Uchiha of Zero Zone

After inserting the storage device into the HDD system, Zhe returned to his original position and waited for the data to be read.

Soon, a prompt appeared on the system screen that the data had been read successfully, but what was puzzling was that no new content appeared in the system after the successful reading.

"Is... the storage device broken?" Zhe was a little confused when he saw this scene. Logically, their HDD system should be able to read all types of data, so why didn't it respond much to this storage device?

Zhong Yan didn't know why this happened. In the game, the successful activation of Fairy was based on the premise that the protagonist and Ies had a sensory connection. Now that this condition was missing, he didn't know if it was the reason for the failure of the activation.

"I have an idea," Ling suddenly had an idea. She then walked to the HDD system, raised her hand and pressed the system's start button, "Let's try restarting it!"

The moment she pressed the start button, the lights in the archive room suddenly flickered as if disturbed. Then, the screen of the HDD system began to flicker continuously, playing some inexplicable images.

This made Zhe feel uneasy: "Ling, get out of there!"

However, the next second after he said this, before Ling could react, a strong light burst out from the system and instantly engulfed her whole body.

Her consciousness became blank and finally disappeared completely.

......

I don’t know how much time has passed, but in a trance, Ling seemed to see some fragments of memories that she had never seen before.

In the memory fragment, she was standing in front of a huge hole. Based on her experience as a rope maker, she immediately determined that it was the source of all disasters, Hole No. 0 - Lingbo.

She was on the platform of a house, surrounded by unfamiliar tall buildings, yet they seemed like she had seen them somewhere before.

"So... so suffocating."

For some unknown reason, Ling could feel that her emotions were quite unstable, a state that was difficult to describe in words.

Happiness, sadness, anger... countless positive and negative emotions accumulated together and turned into a mental blow like a tsunami, constantly impacting her brain and making her feel extremely painful.

Then, the ground around her suddenly began to tremble. Ling looked up with difficulty and found that a huge creature had appeared behind her.

According to preliminary estimates, the giant creature is at least over a hundred meters tall. It is wearing exotic armor, a ghostly mask on its face, and flowing energy emanating from its entire body.

Every step it takes causes the earth to shake violently, and its target seems to be the Hole Zero in front of it.

When passing by the platform where Ling was, it took a special look down at this place.

Only then did Ling discover that there was a gem-like mark on the giant's forehead, and inside the mark, there seemed to be a human figure floating there.

The figure was looking at her.

Ling tried her best to focus her vision, trying to see the figure's appearance clearly, as if it was very important to her.

But because the distance was too far and her vision was extremely blurry, no matter how hard she tried, she could not see the other person clearly and could only see a vague outline.

After retracting its gaze, the huge creature continued to move forward until it reached Hole No. 0, then it slowly drew its weapon from its waist.

A huge long sword.

Ling couldn't predict the power of the long sword based on its size. She only knew that a weapon of this level, with just a random strike, would bring a disaster to New Elidu comparable to a concomitant void explosion.

Finally, under her slightly dazed gaze, the huge creature raised its long sword and chopped it hard at the No. 0 hole in front of it.

At that moment, the originally black and white world seemed to be frozen, as if time had stopped flowing.

But this situation did not last long, and it was like a rebound, with huge waves sweeping in.

Under that blow, countless houses were destroyed and countless building fragments were blown into the air like a rebounding rainstorm. When their height reached a certain critical point, they lost power and turned into real rain pouring down.

Ling didn't know what words to use to describe the scene before her. Her emotions seemed to become more and more out of control as the building debris fell.

The suffocating feeling that blurred her vision became more and more obvious, until it completely engulfed her consciousness.

The last thing Ling saw before losing consciousness was the huge creature standing not far away.

But the most eye-catching thing is the hole number zero in front of it.

That huge hole...

It was split in half by a knife.

......

[...Terms and conditions of use...You may not authorize others to use...]

[... may not be transferred or assigned in any other manner...]

[...You agree to fully authorize us when necessary to protect the common interests of you and this entity...]

【...Do you agree to the above terms? 】

When she regained consciousness, Ling seemed to hear a strange female voice in her mind.

She had no time to respond to the other party's inquiries for opinions.

At this moment, Ling felt as if her body was experiencing pain as if it was pierced by thousands of arrows. From her head to her organs, and to every cell in her body, it seemed as if everything was wailing non-stop.

This made her a little confused as to whether she was unconscious or awake.

"I...don't agree."

Subconsciously, she chose to reject the terms stated by the voice, but the next second, an even more intense pain came over her, making it almost impossible for her to think.

"I agree...I agree..."

Ling, unable to bear such pain, finally chose to agree.

【The authorization agreement has been signed. I am happy to serve you. 】

[...Let us work together to make New Elito...]

And just after she agreed, the severe pain disappeared, followed by a clearer feeling of comfort, which seemed to make her fall asleep.

At first, Ling could still resist a little, but because the pain just now was too torturous, she could not bear this comfort that was like nectar after rain.

Soon, her consciousness dissipated again.

Even she herself didn't know whether she could wake up successfully after this time.
