Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1430: Chapter 813

“I understand this point. If it’s about dealing with enemies in the real world, I naturally don’t need help from the two of you. But this time, the enemy I need to face is one that lives within Sky Net. Your current state is precisely what I need.”

“Enemies within Sky Net?” The Xie sisters were even more puzzled.

Xie Lian laughed out loud, “Li Ang, have you gone mad too? How could there be enemies within Sky Net? I mean, there’s no ’people’ inside Sky Net, right?”

“Perhaps.” Li Ang replied, “There may not be people in Sky Net, but there could be ghosts.”

The two sisters fell silent.

Xie An was still somewhat confused, but Xie Lian’s expression became much more cautious.

After thinking for a while, Xie Lian spoke: “What you’re talking about… Is it the kind that has no physical form, seems eerie, but can actually be crushed easily?”

“Uh…” Xie Lian’s description seemed a bit off, but Li Ang thought about it and had to admit, “Given your past prowess, such a description indeed isn’t incorrect. If an ordinary ghost appeared in front of you, it would be crushed with a pinch. However, we’re not dealing with ordinary ghosts, and it’s not in the real world.”

“Ghosts, in essence, are a kind of non-corporeal consciousness maintained by spiritual power. If they appear in the real world, they have virtual forms and are immune to most attack methods, but as long as one has the capability and means to directly harm them, their unstable existence can be easily destroyed.”

“Since their essence is composed of spiritual power, their best survival environment is actually on the Sky Net.”

Li Ang patiently explained various tales about ghosts to the two girls.

Xie Lian indeed had extensive combat experience and was a seasoned warrior who had encountered and slain ghosts. But speaking from another angle, she was a warrior, a fighter, not a researcher. Knowing how to kill ghosts was enough for her; she really didn’t have the mind to study the mechanisms of ghosts.

Primarily surviving on Sky Net? Naturally, big companies have SkyNet Security Officers responsible for maintaining the company’s local Sky Net, spell machines, and doing ’antivirus’ work, firewall tasks, just to prevent ghost invasion from Sky Net. This kind of thing, logically, should fall under the supervision of Xie Lian, the head of the security department, but she usually didn’t manage, unless some ghost truly dared to emerge into the real world, then she would just slap them dead with two strikes.

But to personally go to the ghosts’ lair, to go to Sky Net to kill ghosts?

What’s that operation? Xie Lian really hadn’t heard of it.

Even those technicians doing antivirus work before used various technological means, never heard of people actually going inside the Sky Net to do anything.

“Ghosts roaming within Sky Net…” Xie An expressed confusion, “Even though Mr. Li Ang has said so much, I still don’t understand how we can help you?”

“Your current state is key.” Li Ang said, “Haven’t you noticed that you are somewhat similar to ghosts?”

“This…” The two women found it hard to accept, with Xie Lian even wanting to furiously curse.

Who’s being called a dead person here?

But on careful thought, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Ghosts exist because of spiritual power between heaven and earth preserving the mental activity of the deceased before death with a special spiritual power structure. Whether they have ’died’ or not is another matter, but at least their thinking and consciousness have indeed transformed into a particular spiritual power structure, no longer existing as bodies.

In this sense, saying the two of them are in a ghostly state is actually reasonable.

“It seems you have figured it out. Since you are ghosts, naturally you have the traits of ghosts. Theoretically, both of you can upload yourselves directly onto Sky Net and move around within the vast Sky Net.”

The sisters exchanged a glance, Xie An said, “But… we’ve never been there, and we don’t know what the survival state of ghosts in Sky Net is like. Can we really help you?”

“You can, I’m sure.” Li Ang said, “You are the most powerful warriors of Era City.”

“Only my sister is, I’m… I’m not.” Xie An appeared quite unconfident.

Li Ang laughed, “No, you definitely can, and in some sense, you are stronger than your sister. Your soul is peculiar, even I don’t know why you are so special. But obviously, this peculiarity in your soul can play out more effectively in the pure spiritual power and soul realm of Sky Net.”

“But I… can’t fight.”

“Indeed, it’s a problem, but also not a problem…” Saying this, Li Ang turned his gaze to Xie Lian, then showed a big smile, “You not being able to fight is fine, right by your side is a Master of combat.”

This smile, which seemed bright and cheerful to him, appeared utterly annoying in Xie Lian’s eyes. She spoke through gritted teeth, “You’ve set your sights on us sisters, haven’t you?”

“I can’t help it. Heading to the Sky Net, I can’t find better partners than the two of you.”

Li Ang spreads his hands, attempting to look innocent, yet this only made Xie Lian even angrier.

“Just not long ago, we were mortal enemies fighting to the death, why are you so sure we’d be willing to help you? My sister just agreed in passing!”

“Don’t get worked up.” Li Ang waved his hand, acting a bit roguishly, “Following your previous argument, it wasn’t you who fought to the death, it was the mad personality you split from. From this perspective, I have even avenged you, that personality nearly truly killed your sister.”
