The door to the cabin opened.

A voice said to Tang Guo: "Go in."

With a hint of curiosity about the unknown, Tang Guo stepped into the door of the cabin.

A white light flashed, and Tang Guo found himself in a familiar rental house.

This is the most common assembly-line rental house in Baiye City, with the same simple interior decoration and extremely limited indoor space.

A little girl is lying on a simple table, scribbling with cheap colored pens.

Tang Guo walked up curiously and looked at the painting. The picture was quite messy and he couldn't tell what was being painted. He could only feel that the painter's hand and pen were very free.

"What are you doing? Wake up quickly..."

That voice was urging Tang Guo.

The surrounding scene changes, and the little girl is sleeping soundly on the narrow wooden bed.

"Wake up, you're going to be late for school."

A middle-aged woman lifted the little girl up, washed herself in a hurry, grabbed a simple breakfast and rushed out of the door.

Tang Guo followed subconsciously.

Before dawn, the middle-aged woman pulled the little girl onto the light rail.

There are many people on the light rail, it is very crowded, and everyone is in a hurry.

The environment changed again. This time it was a classroom. The students were crowded in the narrow classroom and chattering very noisily.

"Why... hurry up..."

"This is the first time..."

The screen jumps again. In a dark room, a middle-aged woman throws all the low-quality handmade things out of the window.

"You still want to play? How dare you play at your age! Have you finished the papers? Huh? There is only one year before you go to school. Can you enter Tianyu Academy by then?"

The girl opened her mouth, but said nothing. She just looked out the window blankly.

The surroundings are getting darker and darker, and it is difficult to see clearly. Only the sound is still echoing.

"You're not allowed to go out to play. Have you finished writing the exercise book?"

"How old do you have to be to want this? Have you finished your homework today?"

"Where did you go after school today? Why did you come back so late?"

"Child, you have to understand that if you don't endure hardship now, you will endure endless hardship in the future!"

The sound gradually became blurry. Tang Guo sighed slightly and was about to walk forward when his surroundings suddenly became clearer.

It’s the same rental house, small, cramped, depressing, and dull.

On the simple table, on the cold metal can, the black and white photo is very dazzling.

The girl sat blankly at the table, the notice about debt collection echoing in her ears.

Tang Guo looked at the girl for a long time, sighed, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

White light flashed.

This is a small wooden house, with a warm fire beating in the fireplace against the wall.

Claude sat on a log stool and greeted Tang Guo who was standing at the door; "Hey, we finally came in."

"Just now..."

"Although I don't know what you have experienced, there is a high probability that it is my own memory." Claude said, "This is your first deep connection, right? It's normal, and you won't have it in the future."

No. 8 is still looking like a billiard ball, flying around the cabin: "Good guy, please wake up. If you don't wake up, I will have to forcefully wake you up. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, okay." Tang Guo said.

"Look, I told you, it was like this the first time." Claude spread his hands, "That's why we train hackers and train specifically for this field..."

Claude kept talking, and No. 8 directly interrupted his tirade, saying: "It's time to enter the old network."

Claude stopped talking: "I won't go. I was forced to have a deep connection."

"Okay, just stay at the login interface." No. 8 didn't bother to talk nonsense with this guy and flew directly to Tang Guo, "Are you ready?"

Tang Guo nodded: "Let's go, please lead the way."

No. 8 said nothing, it flew straight to the huge painting hanging on the wall, and then flew in.

Tang Guo was stunned for a moment, then realized that it should be the entrance to the old network.

Following the eight numbers, Tang Guo finally entered the old network.

This is a black and white world, where everything is simply outlined with black lines, like simple drawings on white paper.

"Is this the old network?"

Tang Guo looked at what she saw in front of her in surprise. This was very different from what she had imagined.

"To be precise, this is a representation of the old network." Number 8's voice sounded, "The real old network only has a large amount of data. This perspective is provided by deeply connected devices and is intended to facilitate users to search for content on the old network."

Tang Guo nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "Where are you? Where should I go?"

"I'm around you, but you can't see me. Maintaining my form will consume the computing power of deep connections." The voice of No. 8 sounded again, "Considering the safety of the equipment, let's forget it. As for the direction,

I have marked the records left by the previous development members of the old network for you."

As the sound of the eight trumpets fell, a map appeared on the wall of simple paintings in front of Tang Guo.

It's like a complex maze, with a line indicating the movement route within the maze.

Tang Guo wrote down the general route and then walked forward along the route.

The maze of simple drawings was very monotonous. There was nothing else, so he could only move forward with a sense of direction. Tang Guo thought that he had a good sense of direction and memory, but after walking for a long time, he still fell into a dead end.

"The data environment is dynamic. I will update the roadmap at any time. Please pay attention to the walls around you."

The sound of the eight-horn sounded again, and then, a circuit diagram appeared again.

In this way, Tang Guo walked forward under the guidance of the road map. Every short while, the road map would be updated, and many times he had to turn back. As a result, although Tang Guo kept walking forward, he was still far away from his destination.

There is still a long way to go.

"Is this the job of the hackers who developed the old network? It's hard enough."

Tang Guo couldn't help but sigh.

"It's actually much harder than that. There are viruses all around here, but I stopped them all for you."

"Okay, that's really hard." Tang Guo asked as he walked, "What does the virus look like?"

"No way." Eight Hao said, "Hey, time is a bit tight, otherwise let's take a shortcut."

"Taking shortcuts? Can we take shortcuts here?"

"Yes, but it's not very friendly to the equipment."

"What do you mean by not being friendly?" Tang Guo was shocked, "I'm still lying in the equipment, please don't bake me."

"Then that kid from Qinling must roast me too." Eight Hao said, "Kunjin, Kunjin, too."

"What?" Tang Guo didn't understand.

"Oh, it's nothing." No. 8 pretended that nothing happened, "Go forward and you will see a hole, do you see it?"

"I saw it." Tang Guo looked at a standard circle on the floor with a somewhat complicated tone, "If this circle is the hole you mentioned."

"That's it, jump down."
