Chapter 35: An Ox Cart
When Kasei Sakai booted up the mask program, Gu He, sitting in the backseat of his own mind, instantly felt the vehicle gun its engine.
His neural network, already expanded to over fifty billion cortical neurons, suddenly flared with vibrant color and roared like an engine. It felt as if a gale-force wind was howling alongside streams of data, threatening to blow his very personality away.
He watched helplessly in the reflection of the TV screen. His body was still dressed in the same T-shirt and casual pants.
But his facial features twisted and warped, his body shifting shape right along with them...
Although he had seen this before, Gu He was still amazed. The power of the mask program didn't just create a visual illusion; the muscles and bones of his Container were actually physically transforming.
"It worked!" Kasei Sakai said in pleasant surprise. "So fast, so smooth. This Container is amazing to use!"
Using the mask in He-san's body was even smoother than using it in her own. A six-speed gear, 99% personality integrity, and that warm, friendly data trait—it offered a faint glimpse of a dream world far better than Liuguang City...
Everything about it was incredibly comfortable.
"It's an ox. An ox cart." Ayane Kumiko was thrilled, finally certain that this was neither a mule nor a horse, but a true ox.
