The eye of minds pdf download

A cyber-terrorist. Bryson was nodding. He looked like a damaged football playerbig, thick, and everything just a little o-kilter. He always said he was so freaking hot in the real world that he needed an escape from the ladies while hanging in the VirtNet.

Our good friend here saw a girl dig into her own skull and pull her Core out, toss it, then jump o a bridge. I guess heebie-jeebies is a start. FineI guess I need a stronger word, she replied. The point is somethings happening, and a gamers being blamed for it. Who ever heard of people hacking into their own systems to commit suicide? VirtNet Security has never had this problem before. Unless VNS has been hiding it, Bryson added.

Who would do what she did? Michael murmured, more to himself than to the others. He knew his stu, and suicides within the Sleep had always been rare. Real suicides, anyway. Some people like the rush of ong themselves in the Sleep without the real consequencesbut Ive never seen this before. The skill and knowledge to pull it I dont even think I could do it.

Now several in a week? And what about this gamerKaine? Bryson asked. Ive heard hes big-time, but how could someone possibly trap others inside the Sleep? It has to be all talk. The tables around them had just grown quiet, and the name seemed to echo throughout the room.

People stared at Bryson, and Michael understood why. Kaine was becoming infamous, and the name made people pale. Over the last few months, hed been inltrating everything from games to private meeting rooms, terrorizing his victims with visions and physically attacking them. Michael hadnt heard the part about trapping people until Tanya, but the very name Kaine haunted the virtual world, as if he lingered just out of sight no matter where you went.

Bryson was all fake bravado. Michael shrugged o the other customers in the caf and focused on his friends. She kept saying it was Kaines fault. That she was trapped by him and couldnt take it anymore. Something about stealing bodies? And things called KillSims. Im telling you, even before she started on that Core, I could see it in her eyes that she was dead serious. She denitely ran across him somewhere.

We dont even know much about the guy behind Kaine yet, Sarah oered. Ive read every story on him, and thats all there arestories. No one has any scoop on the gamer himself.

No pics, no audio or video, nothing. Its like hes not real. Its the VirtNet, Bryson countered. Things dont have to be real to be real. Thats the whole point. Sarah shook her head. Hes a gamer. A person. Lying in a Con. With all that publicity we should know more about him.

The media should be all over this guy. The VNS should be able to track him, at least. Michael felt like they were getting nowhere. Hey, back to me, guys. Im supposed to be traumatized, and youre supposed to be making me feel better. So far, you suck at it. A look of genuine concern crossed Brysons face. No doubt, dude. Sorry, but glad it was you, not me.

I know that whole suicide negotiation thing is part of the Lifeblood experience stu, but who couldve known yours would be a real one? I probably wouldnt sleep for a week after seeing something like that.

Still sucking, Michael replied with a halfhearted laugh. In truth, he was better now just being with his friends, but something inside him felt like it was trying to gnaw its way out.

Something dark with big teeth that didnt want him to ignore it. Sarah leaned over and squeezed his arm. Neither of us has a clue what it mustve been like, she said softly.

And wed be idiots to pretend. But Im sorry it happened. Michael just blushed and looked at the oor. Thankfully, Bryson brought them back to reality. I gotta use the bathroom, he announced, standing up.

A person even did stu like that inside the Sleep, while your real body took care of business back in the Con. Everything was meant to feel real. Charming, Sarah said through a sigh as she released Michaels arm and sat back in her chair. Simply charming. They talked for another hour or so, ending with their usual promise to meet in the real world soon. Bryson told them if they didnt do it by the end of the month, hed start cutting o a nger every day until it happened.

Michaels, not his own. That got a much-needed laugh. The three of them said their goodbyes at a Portal, and Michael Lifted back to the Wake, going through the usual routine inside the Con until he could get out.

As he walked over to the Chair, his gaze naturally landed on the big ad for Lifeblood Deep outside his window, followed by the usual few seconds of coveting and gurative drooling. He almost sat down but changed his mind, knowing hed never get up, exhausted and sore head to toe. And he hated falling asleep in the Chairhe always woke up with cricks in places humans werent meant to have cricks. He sighed and, trying not to think of the girl named Tanya whod killed herself right before his eyes, somehow made it over to his bed.

Then he collapsed into a long night of dreamless sleep. Getting himself out of bed the next morning was like breaking out of a cocoon. It took twenty minutes for the smart side of his brain to convince the stupid side that taking a sick day at school wasnt a good idea. Hed already been out One or two more and theyd start cracking down.

Hed only gotten more sore in the night from his plummet into the bay with Tanya, and that strange feeling still turned in his stomach. Somehow, though, Michael made it to the breakfast table, where his nanny, Helga, had just placed a plate of eggs and bacon. A nanny, his amazing VirtNet setup, a nice apartmenthe had a lot to thank his wealthy parents for.

They traveled a lot, and at the moment he couldnt remember when theyd left or when they were getting back. But they made it up to him with the many things they gave him. Between school, the VirtNet, and Helga, he hardly had time to miss them. Good morning, Michael, Helga said with her slight but still noticeable German accent. I trust you slept well, yes? He grunted, and she smiled. Thats why he loved Helga. She didnt get all huy or oended when all you wanted to do was grunt like an animal waking from hibernation.

It was no skin o her back. And her food was delicious. Almost as good as in the VirtNet. Michael nished every morsel of breakfast, then headed out the door to catch the train. The streets were bustlingsuits and skirts and coee cups as far as the eye could see. There were so many people that Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search. User Settings.
