738 The apartnt (2)
The elevator ride seed to stretch on forever, but in the end, they reached the right floor.
The doors slid open with a soft hiss, revealing a long hallway lined with reinforced apartnt doors.
Each door was a monunt to security and privacy, their heavy-duty construction designed to keep unwanted visitors at bay. But that wasn't a problem Erik couldn't solve.
Be it brute strength, or the precision of the biological supercomputer, the young man could easily enter. However, it was clear brute strength was going to make the apartnt a doorless shell.
Erik and June stepped out of the elevator. There was nowhere in sight, but still the young man kept himself concealed through the Chaleon Veil, with June still in his dog form, to avoid alerting the security system or people coming out of their apartnts to go on with their day.
The understated illumination from the led lights bathed the hallway in a muted glow, sculpting elongated silhouettes on the reflective flooring.
The atmosphere was crisp and clinical, a notable divergence from the city's pulsating vitality that thrumd stories below.
The apartnt doors lined the hallway at regular intervals, reflecting the subdued radiance with their alloyed facades.
Each door bore a number, and it wasn't hard to find the man's apartnt door among the many in the hallway.
June asked.
Erik fixed his gaze on the door, already working in his mind on how to bypass its security. June remained by his side, ensuring no one saw them. Despite his unease, he trusted Erik's judgnt.
Erik reached inward, ntally connecting with the biological supercomputer.
Erik said. The computer gave an almost instantaneous reply.
[PROCESS STARTED. SCANNING FOR NETWORK ACCESS POINTS.]
Seconds later, it gave Erik so additional information.
[ACCESS POINT DETECTED. ESTABLISHING CONNECTION.]
Erik was curious how the biological supercomputer was able to do all of that. After years of having received this miraculous technology, he wasn't yet closer to the truth of its origins or neither how it worked. The only thing Erik knew was that this thing ca from the Mur continent, which his father obviously went to. He knew that soone was searching for it, and that those people were likely the Blackguards. But most importantly, he knew that once he died; he was bound to beco a biological supercomputer himself.
That honestly sparked questions. Was it possible that a person or a part of a person originally beca the biological supercomputer he had?
Were human experints involved in the making of this thing? Besides, how were the Blackguards aware of it?
As he had these thoughts, the biological supercomputer did his thing. Erik felt the computational processes resonating like a subtle undercurrent in the depths of his mind.
It was akin to a secondary pulse, a rhythmical echo that punctuated his cognitive processes.
This rhythm was a complex symphony of data analysis and algorithmic problem-solving, a testant to the fusion of biology and technology that lived within his brain.
[CONNECTION ESTABLISHED. ACCESSING SECURITY SYSTEMS.]
The supercomputer's voice echoed in Erik's mind.
he said, but got no reply from the mighty AI this ti. Perhaps the mighty AI was too focused on opening the door, and that was why it didn't reply.
Then he felt the supercomputer's processes speeding up, its ntal presence growing as it navigated the complex digital landscape of the security systems. It was like watching a master at work, its actions precise and efficient.
[SECURITY SYSTEMS ACCESSED. DISABLING SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.]
There was a mont of silence. Then, the supercomputer spoke again.
[SURVEILLANCE DEVICES DISABLED. UNLOCKING DOOR.]
There was a soft click as the door unlocked, the sound echoing in the silent hallway. Erik and June exchanged a glance.
[DOOR UNLOCKED. SECURITY SYSTEMS BYPASSED.]
Erik said.
