"I understand this point. If itās about dealing with enemies in the real world, I naturally donāt 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, thereās no āpeopleā 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 Lianās expression became much more cautious.
After thinking for a while, Xie Lian spoke: "What youāre talking about... Is it the kind that has no physical form, seems eerie, but can actually be crushed easily?"
"Uh..." Xie Lianās description seemed a bit off, but Li Ang thought about it and had to admit, "Given your past prowess, such a description indeed isnāt incorrect. If an ordinary ghost appeared in front of you, it would be crushed with a pinch. However, weāre not dealing with ordinary ghosts, and itās 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 didnāt 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 companyās local Sky Net, spell machines, and doing āantivirusā 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 didnāt 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 ghostsā lair, to go to Sky Net to kill ghosts?
Whatās that operation? Xie Lian really hadnāt 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 donāt understand how we can help you?"
"Your current state is key." Li Ang said, "Havenāt 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.
Whoās 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 ādiedā 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... weāve never been there, and we donāt know what the survival state of ghosts in Sky Net is like. Can we really help you?"
"You can, Iām sure." Li Ang said, "You are the most powerful warriors of Era City."
"Only my sister is, Iām... Iām 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 donāt 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... canāt fight."
"Indeed, itās 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 Lianās eyes. She spoke through gritted teeth, "Youāve set your sights on us sisters, havenāt you?"
"I canāt help it. Heading to the Sky Net, I canāt 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 weād be willing to help you? My sister just agreed in passing!"
"Donāt get worked up." Li Ang waved his hand, acting a bit roguishly, "Following your previous argument, it wasnāt 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."
