Chapter 5: On What Basis

Trinity has arrived, I refuse to believe that he can even flirt with that iceberg

A group of newcomers was in a hurry, yet they did not dare to be too reckless, as there were still dangerous agents lurking within the ranks; they could only speak in ambiguous terms.

Not long after, Gao Tianxin took a takeout Chinese meal from the aunt, specifically selecting a glossy and plump tea egg, and returned to the street, eating it in front of everyone with grease dripping from his mouth

"I can't believe it, knowing full well that the food is fake, what is there to enjoy?"

Neo was first startled, then his eyes were filled with a sense of disbelief, as if to say "Are you out of your mind?" He quickly walked around in haste.

Fortunately, I was not foolish to the extreme, knowing that there were undercover agents by my side, and I refrained from speaking rashly for a short period of time

There is no way around it; lately, that strange feeling has been surrounding him, and the direct consequence of his continuous insomnia is a disrupted routine and a malfunctioning alarm clock, which has led to repeated tardiness. It seems that the supervisor is going to lose his temper again today

As soon as these words were spoken, Neo felt that the simple words of the Eastern man before him contained profound truths, with implied meanings that resonated perfectly with the strange feelings he had experienced over the past few days

Matrix agents, lurking among the reincarnators

The translation function integrated into the emblem and books allows reincarnators to communicate effortlessly with foreigners, as both parties hear content that is most aligned with their native colloquial expressions, eliminating any language barriers

Neo replied: "It is ... ... yes!"

After a while, one of the bespectacled young men brightened his eyes, gestured with his lips, and indicated for everyone to look at the woman riding a motorcycle on the street not far away

Everyone looked at each other in silence

Clearly, a preliminary glimpse into the use of mental power does not equate to a formal understanding. The value of opportunities in the observational mode lies in guidance and direction, rather than immediate enlightenment

The individual is correct; the protagonist of the story, Neo, currently has a dual identity. One is Thomas Anderson, a programmer at the METACORTEX software company, and the other is the hacker Neo

The metaphor of the egg precisely aligns with the worldview of reality and the virtual in The Matrix, where the humans "farmed" within the Matrix are akin to the food inside the eggshells

Is this to prove that one is not an undercover agent

Fortunately, having this initial insight is already a significant advantage, while the other nine newcomers are left at a loss.

Seek the truth at hetushu.com, you can do it

Neo's company! Suddenly, a low exclamation came from behind. Gao Tianxin turned around to see that the other nine reincarnators, along with the undercover agents, were standing in a line not far away, having followed them all the way.

Thus, the reincarnators began to wait idly for opportunities, enduring a long wait. Only Gao Tianxin glanced at the time inside the Chinese restaurant, walked in, and chatted with the cashier aunt for a few moments, and the two immediately became warm and friendly.

... ...

In terms of appearance and attire, all the newcomers this time have East Asian features, and they all seem to be Chinese.

This group of reincarnators is so excited because they all wish to leave a deep impression in Neo's heart, facilitating future rewards

His demeanor has provoked dissatisfaction among several individuals, while simultaneously inspiring the thoughts of others

Do you know that an egg broken from the outside is food, while one broken from the inside is life... Do you want to be food that is broken from the outside, or true life in the real sense?

Trust your feelings

Yet I found my body to be empty, feeling nothing at all; instead, the injuries sustained in the viewing mode had also vanished without a trace

The space of m.hetushu.com clearly cannot be limited to only individuals of the yellow race. It seems to be a new world, intentionally lowering the difficulty, at least eliminating the potential conflicts and disputes that may arise due to racial issues

Neo blinked his eyes, and his footsteps came to a halt

You are being monitored, be careful

Excluding disguise, whether it is clever or foolish, is already beginning to reveal itself at this moment

Just as Niao wished he could sprout four legs to dash to the office, a group of Asians unexpectedly blocked his path, chattering away in a bewildering manner

Gao Tianxin, with a blank expression, first scanned the other people around before silently activating the so-called mental power he had previously comprehended

This is actually due to the blind conformity to a sudden unfamiliar environment, coupled with a few individuals who discovered his destination from the direction of Gao Tianxin, quietly following along.

The ten minutes of waiting time quickly passed in silence, and Gao Tianxin, who had long found the right direction, immediately proceeded south along the street

The protagonist of the Savior has such thick legs; if not to embrace the other party while they are an ordinary person, then when else should it be done

Is your world perceived through your eyes, heard through your ears, or... felt with your heart?

Unfortunately, one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry; it is precisely because Neo is an ordinary person that he cannot be so impatient

What is the reason for this? As Neo left, glancing back three times, all eyes were focused on Gao Tianxin, completely ignoring everyone else. A suited man who had approached the fastest earlier muttered a curse under his breath, his face filled with resentment

Another woman of average build curled her lips and said softly, "There’s no way around it. In this day and age, if you speak plainly, others will think you lack sophistication. You must be vague and ambiguous to be considered high-end!"

Then Neo heard: "Everyone has their eyes open, but that does not mean everyone is seeing the world. Many people hardly use their own eyes to see; they only listen to others describe it. The world they see is forever the way others have described it..."

Facing Neo's uncertain gaze, the person finally turned around, revealing Gao Tianxin's usual calm smile: "Do you ever feel as if you are in a state between dreaming and waking?"

Even undercover agents "follow local customs"; not only is there no visible difference in appearance, but even the spatial emblem on the palm is faintly discernible. Of course, whether it is merely superficial remains to be seen

Finally, under the anticipation of the autumn waters at https://www.hetushu.com, a white man walked briskly from the distant street

There is no doubt that this person is Neo, the main character of the Matrix series

Before long, they arrived outside a Chinese restaurant, where a towering skyscraper stood across the street, prominently displaying the logo of METACORTEX Software Company

The reality of space has become indisputable; whether they wish to accept it or not, they must do so. Consequently, they are either filled with fear, trembling, sadness, or silence, with a few who are excited, those are the dreamers who fantasize about time travel all day long

This person has striking features, a pale complexion, and slightly puffy, lifeless eyes, likely due to lack of sleep, yet his steps are extremely quick, almost as if he is about to break into a run

At this moment, Gao Tianxin said: "Trust your feelings, seek the truth, do not give up, you can do it!"

According to the progress of the main storyline, the first act of the film has been viewed, the second act takes place in Neo's home, which is not frequently visited, and the third act features the scene where Neo is captured by Agent Smith at work.

Neo nodded involuntarily

Unexpectedly, just as Neo was about to enter the company, a figure leaning against the door, spinning a tea egg in hand, instantly captured his attention
