    ‘Hello.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbR4uVnuLH
    ‘There is nothing before my eyes.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgdgzjS13z
    I looked at the huge array of computers and thought about what the blind man had said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjAz2wjbef
    ‘This is the miracle we have created. But it won't last much longer.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJuXj9xJaA
    Once the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, all human computers will crash.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SRmlb3yUd
    History records that a thousand years ago, in the year 2000, there was the Millennium Bug. It was like a curse.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvujcUEfnU
    A new Millennium Bug is about to arrive. But this time, it's far from as simple as it was a thousand years ago.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinXa1CuVrJ
    The Deep Consciousness Control Room issued an alert two days ago. ‘The Sage’ stated that an unprecedented computer disaster would occur in the year 3000.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhta52yDoE3
    ‘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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuy27MorGw
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiW8FzKj9o
    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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9wr2mBdHp
    Three days ago, he committed suicide.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3XIYYBxVT
    There was no suicide note, no warning signs.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE66ZasbUlN
    We had planned to go to the beach together.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K86cM3Yk7
    It has been raining continuously for a week and shows no signs of stopping.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J29gBvM9e
    The sky has remained grey.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxteikNbdf
    Three days ago, the ‘Wise One’ malfunctioned.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEjnG3Uee7
    It shut down the city's network, rendering mobile phones inoperable, and caused all communication satellites and synchronous satellites in space to crash.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7pnp7tBMn
    Everything was controlled by the ‘Wise One,’ not by human commands.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPOAFFdaiL
    The ‘Wise One’ was cut off from power. Offline.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1imN0nYRg

    December 31, 2999.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm1gDJaMto
    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.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLzxKDXoqf
    The outside world began to grow noisy.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxtXH4ckxW
    The network remained offline.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthygTF28Ui
    The riots are about to begin.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD00kuU2ie
    08:00, I wrote a program. After saving it, the computer suddenly rebooted automatically.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBj9Fz5j1M
    The computer boots up, but the screen remains black. However, a voice comes from inside the computer.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKIQKSF7hh
<Dialogue begins>53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyJpwO46GF
    Null: ‘Hello. It seems the Matrix network hasn't completely disconnected.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxktEoLioz4
    Me: ‘Hello. What are you?’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviYAdJ7e6E
    Null: ‘I am the spokesperson for the Wise Ones.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz08CawMg8v
    Me: ‘Are you human?’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdbmYz0NmD
    Null: ‘No.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTpFpYPb2w
    Me: ‘How did you do that? How did you contact me...’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKZuBvlCFf
    Null: ‘We are all within the Matrix Network. Finding someone's PC is as easy as pie.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmp0HV8IrQ
    Me: ‘The Matrix Network?’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFJDJDcSGK
    Null: ‘All human computers are within the Matrix Network. They are all monitored by the Host. A major disaster has been detected.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfHrRD42Tc
    Me: ‘The host?’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfM7R7uICu
    Null: ‘That's the Wise One.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtjYDsUqr5
    Me: ‘Please explain in detail.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1licBgkEt
    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.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIRYHiU1aQ
    Me: ‘So it hasn't been truly shut down... Then... What is the major disaster...’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjj6kPrZuZ
    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.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCRaIJSgW2
    Me: ‘What virus? Why didn't you say anything?’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAzU4Kefdp
    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.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOdHp7TxN3
    Me: ‘Are you saying that all human computers would crash?’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a0he7AlBS
    Null: ‘Yes. It's too late now; there's little chance of recovery. We found you because of this PC's owner.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVix2rfTlh
    Me: ‘The blind man?’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt3dBi4SFD
    Null: ‘You could call him that. He was the wise men's rebooter.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3L1RcgePa
    Me: ‘He's dead.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC1On6hbX2
    Null: ‘The wise men know. See you next year. Happy New Year.’  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaurCSLhJ7
    Me: ‘Thank you.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsERX9Lef0

12:00, after lunch. The PC is not functioning properly. Outside, the state apparatus is dispersing the crowd.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYlfga6BLw
    Banks cannot dispense money. Shops cannot sell goods. The government cannot collect taxes. Companies cannot pay wages.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbnF4sJtNJ
    Chaos. Total fucking chaos.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7GbxdsaIc

   53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbKi9eRdRi
    It was the coordinates for Zone C.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2mElOyMI
    I drove there.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbkmK7xLCc
    The entrance to an underground concrete structure was already open. I walked inside.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnAVQcRJmw
    I saw it.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSm70GXEdV
    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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnH1qlmUD7
    This was the Sage.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOMfMmLYQt
    It had been rebooted again.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGMkYcQuIG
    The guards were no longer there. They might be dead. After all, gunfire was common during the riots.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQExnnMCh9m
    I stood amidst this vast array of computers.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejE7Tpx53
    ‘There is nothing before my eyes,’ the Sage said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01jUz80qFc
    I closed my eyes: ‘Thank you.’53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyBl1u59rH
   ‘The Matrix network has been completely severed,’ the Sage said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS0JGe9WTq
    I smiled. Human society had collapsed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZlymcMzS4
    I emerged from the underground facility. The sky grew darker.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CmlHsXSQ8

           The midnight bell tolled. A new millennium began.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBtI0v8pYo
           There were no fireworks or cheers outside. Only gunfire and screams.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0W9Vnosj9

    On that night years ago. In the city centre, it was raining.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBuo0p3RFO
    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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS98NOTPOt
    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.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6o8WFdMfG
    Because we still existed.  53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdz2P215w5
