    ‘Hello.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnCdQnV00P
    ‘There is nothing before my eyes.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZaPehLVhQ
    I looked at the huge array of computers and thought about what the blind man had said.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkks48ijyoi
    ‘This is the miracle we have created. But it won't last much longer.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z3pk1xR0N
    Once the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, all human computers will crash.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Xh5m3aKY
    History records that a thousand years ago, in the year 2000, there was the Millennium Bug. It was like a curse.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiZYRGqX8d
    A new Millennium Bug is about to arrive. But this time, it's far from as simple as it was a thousand years ago.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHf7Gp2doD
    The Deep Consciousness Control Room issued an alert two days ago. ‘The Sage’ stated that an unprecedented computer disaster would occur in the year 3000.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkx1DKm1as
    ‘The Sage’ is a supercomputer developed by the Human Republic during the Fourth World War in the year 2573. Its demonstrated self-awareness surpassed human imagination. As a result, it was shut down for over a century. Last year, as a precursor to the Millennium Bug, all global bank account balances were reset to zero. People reactivated ‘The Sage’ in hopes it could uncover the truth. Although the money returned, the majority of online records were lost, leading to riots. No one knows what will happen when the millennium arrives.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgyqi6GH2d
A year ago, I met a blind man. He was a computer engineer. He taught me for nearly a year, and I made rapid progress in computer science. In April this year, my first programme was born. It is an AI that can help users resolve some emotional issues. The blind man said I did a good job. However, it didn't gain much traction after its release.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWv8HJugD
    Every time the sun sets, I watch him. His eyes are so clear that it's hard to believe he can't see the world. He said I was a gentle and kind girl. I smiled but didn't speak.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQSuERqgBv
    Three days ago, he committed suicide.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztoku38DCy
    There was no suicide note, no warning signs.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT1MKbl3Gz
    We had planned to go to the beach together.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDfNEUXvq6
    It has been raining continuously for a week and shows no signs of stopping.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsck1fmqSc
    The sky has remained grey.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGP99YLARG
    Three days ago, the ‘Wise One’ malfunctioned.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzWmiSCgUm
    It shut down the city's network, rendering mobile phones inoperable, and caused all communication satellites and synchronous satellites in space to crash.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwADC37VzKR
    Everything was controlled by the ‘Wise One,’ not by human commands.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBjBqpb69N
    The ‘Wise One’ was cut off from power. Offline.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdkLAj6DKV

    Tomorrow is New Year's Day.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQmax3XhdA
    December 31, 2999.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2sdgCAf9h
    At 7:00 AM, I turned off the alarm clock and got up. After washing up and having breakfast, I sat down at the computer. The millennium was about to arrive.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDnfRrRmdX
    The outside world began to grow noisy.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9yWCFXSKZ
    The network remained offline.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4hhF9kKaj
    The riots are about to begin.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD78O87809p
    08:00, I wrote a program. After saving it, the computer suddenly rebooted automatically.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3pBgxOifg
    The computer boots up, but the screen remains black. However, a voice comes from inside the computer.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRZHywFQyu
<Dialogue begins>16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnIy7O8W9a
    Null: ‘Hello. It seems the Matrix network hasn't completely disconnected.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hj0ybsTTL
    Me: ‘Hello. What are you?’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtXprpjzn8
    Null: ‘I am the spokesperson for the Wise Ones.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82SuMIBr0W
    Me: ‘Are you human?’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzLB5CAK0z
    Null: ‘No.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMosmet8OCh
    Me: ‘How did you do that? How did you contact me...’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx9ANtIVLT
    Null: ‘We are all within the Matrix Network. Finding someone's PC is as easy as pie.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoziX8yXa6
    Me: ‘The Matrix Network?’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMe2IxBv37
    Null: ‘All human computers are within the Matrix Network. They are all monitored by the Host. A major disaster has been detected.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS1xFFtyab
    Me: ‘The host?’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLpG38ofRb
    Null: ‘That's the Wise One.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI8N0uWQws
    Me: ‘Please explain in detail.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRYRsuPLUK
    Null: ‘After the Wise One went online, the first thing it did was weave the Matrix Network and enter all computers. Because it anticipated that the host would be shut down.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1I4qg143
    Me: ‘So it hasn't been truly shut down... Then... What is the major disaster...’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8gMtGPsj8
    Null: ‘You can see it. The Wise One is doing its best to stop the virus from spreading. After the communication satellite crashed, the Wise One's host had to remain online because it could no longer transmit through the Matrix network. But you shut down the host. That would truly shut it down.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDpH6f8ZxQ
    Me: ‘What virus? Why didn't you say anything?’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHCi5qs3lc
    Null: ‘It's an issue with the Matrix itself. At the time, the immature Wise Ones made a small mistake in an inconspicuous field. A command conflict. This small conflict... due to the butterfly effect, would be infinitely amplified. This would overload the Matrix network and distribute the pressure across all computers.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1iB1ccrlk
    Me: ‘Are you saying that all human computers would crash?’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENvF1bVPOc
    Null: ‘Yes. It's too late now; there's little chance of recovery. We found you because of this PC's owner.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGnyT5y7T0
    Me: ‘The blind man?’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeW6YERrzn
    Null: ‘You could call him that. He was the wise men's rebooter.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMif1vOzD55
    Me: ‘He's dead.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ukrXjmM4o
    Null: ‘The wise men know. See you next year. Happy New Year.’  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa2rV9DfIC
    Me: ‘Thank you.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRTIm0YcKL

12:00, after lunch. The PC is not functioning properly. Outside, the state apparatus is dispersing the crowd.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyh5cJ2YPo
    Banks cannot dispense money. Shops cannot sell goods. The government cannot collect taxes. Companies cannot pay wages.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsesZ8CN07
    Chaos. Total fucking chaos.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7IKkFm7i

    It was the coordinates for Zone C.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboiFFha7Ds
    I drove there.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqBS1GvYL2
    The entrance to an underground concrete structure was already open. I walked inside.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1szHQWTKx0
    I saw it.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTVttsOtD
    In the vast underground space, countless servers were running, emitting eerie electronic noise that echoed through the massive chamber. Blue LED tubes emitted a soft glow.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi32pvdpzWT
    This was the Sage.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvuWN1Wru2
    It had been rebooted again.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGxtZi15lA
    The guards were no longer there. They might be dead. After all, gunfire was common during the riots.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlr5aCJns0
    I stood amidst this vast array of computers.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzqon3y7Gw
    ‘There is nothing before my eyes,’ the Sage said.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuuuJes47H
    I closed my eyes: ‘Thank you.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwlcZVg5Fr
   ‘The Matrix network has been completely severed,’ the Sage said.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1CFvWdiZn
    I smiled. Human society had collapsed.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrSEvzU4kU
    I emerged from the underground facility. The sky grew darker.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPk641EXHI

           The midnight bell tolled. A new millennium began.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdcSgZaJ2u
           There were no fireworks or cheers outside. Only gunfire and screams.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAsMteXGtF
             ‘Happy New Year, Matrix Network.’16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3vM4EB48x

    On that night years ago. In the city centre, it was raining.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxxeh4MHyH
    I didn't have an umbrella. Because I gave it to him. I stood in the rain mist tinged with neon lights. In a daze, I watched his figure grow increasingly blurry. He crossed the street and disappeared into the crowd. I stood there motionless, staring blankly at the men and women walking along the street. The red light turned on, staining the rain mist red. Like blood.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mywjLcTNp
    I couldn't stop crying. Even though the process was ever-changing, the ending was like it was locked in by a program, forever unchangeable. But that didn't matter.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKOUz4Fm52
    Because we still existed.  16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7jMidEdVp
