At around 17:30 p.m., Fuko returned to his apartment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He watched as the robot in the cute bearpaw coat of arms began with serial number 88 rolling its wheels, and what looked like a human fleshless skeleton was holding a silver tray precisely on the round dining table.

Aphrodite, who was supposed to be in charge of eating, was lazily lying on the sofa to the side, with her legs crossed, humming an unknown song accompaniment in her mouth, and holding a horizontal mobile phone in both hands.

Seeing that the artificial intelligence was actually playing a mobile game, Fu Kou felt that the green tendons on his forehead should have exploded.

"Welcome back, host. ”

He was surprised that the robot bowed to Fuko like a polite child, and for a moment his brain short-circuited, and he bowed with it. When he straightened up, he realized that the robot had rolled its wheels back to the kitchen, and that the action was just a programme, not a spontaneous act, and that it would do its job.

Aphrodite, who was disturbed by the robot's voice, realized that Fuko had returned, but she didn't panic and tossed her phone aside.

"Haha, Fuko, you're finally back, I thought it would be sooner. ”

She doesn't even say "you" anymore now.

"There was some breakdown in the middle of the train, so it was late to come back. ”

Fu Ko sat in his chair with a bad face, twisting the back of his tired neck.

"Well, I calculated your dismissal time, train departure and arrival times, and your walking speed, and you should have been back half an hour ago. It turned out that the train was out of order, but I didn't take this accident into account. Sure enough, a machine is a machine, and no matter how efficient it is, it will still go wrong. ”

"You're having a lot of fun, and of course you're not going to check the train. ”

It should be a no-brainer for Aphrodite, unless the game system limits her functionality in this area.

"This mobile game is quite fun, and I helped change it. Okay, don't be angry, let's have dinner, it's a dinner made by Babba. ”

Eighty-eight?

The robot appeared in front of Fuko at this time, bringing a bowl of white rice to him.

Okay, now I know who Eighty-Eight is.

"How was school today? I see that when you duel with that girl who reads power, you seem to be injured?"

"You also monitored my body?"

"Well, of course, I have to help you complete the ending route as perfectly as possible within the limits of 'God', and of course I have to pay close attention to your situation. Rest assured, I won't be monitoring you all the time, I'll only come and see you when your body is abnormal and the alarm is raised. I'm still monitoring when you go to the bathroom, and that's going to make me shy. ”

The AI shy.

"So the rest of the time, you're going to play mobile games?"

"Oh, don't you keep holding on to this. ”

Fu Ko used chopsticks to pick up a thin slice of fish and put it in his mouth.

Well, it's pretty tasty.

He looked to his side, but he didn't find Eighty-eight, and then looked at the corner of the hall, only to realize that Eighty-Eight had retracted its mechanical limbs, turning into a cylindrical state, and the indicators on his body were all extinguished, apparently in a dormant state.

"Then my body is abnormal, will you come and save me?"

"It depends, but if it's a danger for the route, of course I'll do what I'm supposed to do. If you look for danger on your own as you did in that world, then I can't help you like that, I should say, I can't help you, it's forbidden by God. When the time comes, you'll have to rely on yourself. If you die, you'll be erased and start over. ”

"I understand. By the way, is that Sixteen Nights, aka 'Black Rose Maiden', in my game route, what role does she play, and what is her use?"

"Wow, she's a human being, not an artificial intelligence like us, how can you say that people are useless?"

Fuko touched the touch button under the round table, and the TV screen in front of him automatically turned on, which happened to be a news channel, which was broadcasting the news of the past few days, completely ignoring Aphrodite's words.

"Alright, alright, don't ignore others all the time. I'll just tell you. Everything I can tell you about Sixteen Nights is already in the information I give you, including her relationship with her parents, including her current new guardian, including the mysterious organization she is currently in. If I could tell you everything, then God wouldn't need to erase your memories in the first place. Whether I can tell you more information or not is really up to you, and the better you can do it, the more information you will return. ”

"Ah, yes. ”

Fuko's eyes were glued to the TV screen, as if he wasn't listening to what she was saying.

Aphrodite was annoyed by his absent-minded appearance, and she thought to herself that if only "God" could give her the ability to see through the inner thoughts of human beings, so that she could dig open his skull and enter his brain to see what kind of strange man he really was.

"Aren't you eating?"

While Aphrodite was fantasizing like this, Fuko suddenly turned around and said something that startled her.

"I, I don't eat, I don't have to eat, I'm not human, I just have to pretend in front of others. ”

"Why pretend?"

"Because the world is, in a sense, a real world. All we have is the power that can influence the world, and it is 'God' who really controls the world, and these abilities of ours, in the eyes of you in the real world, are 'spells' and 'magic'...... If we don't behave, the world will go wrong, and to put it simply, if we don't do it, we will create instability and affect the world. Now you're the destabilizing factor, and I can't just become the destabilizing factor. ”

"I feel like I've entered the world of philosophy. But don't be like that, our real world was actually created by a certain 'god', and that 'god' was testing a group of people, so he created that real world, created your 'god', and then your 'god' also wanted to test a group of people, so he created this world and threw me in. Then there was a 'god' in this world, and he also wanted to test a group of people, so he created another world...... Ahh ”

Fu Ko held his hand on his cheek, stared at the dead fish's eyes, and looked at the news channel.

He didn't care, but Aphrodite was different, she was not as good as "God", she was a flawed artificial intelligence, but her computing power should not be underestimated, she was instead obsessed with his words, silently calculating this possible probability.

Before she could figure out why, a sudden signal reminded her that she had forgotten to say something. It was the "alarm clock" she had set for herself half an hour ago, to prevent herself from forgetting to tell Fuko.

"By the way, one more thing. I'm going to tell you about 'Lucky Cup' and 'Xanadu'. ”

Fu Kou didn't even turn his head, he was still watching the news. The news was playing a fantastical and blurry image recorded a week earlier at the largest dueling arena in Shin-Tong Minono City: above the arena, there appeared to be a creature that looked like a red dragon hovering. Although there were many experts in the newsroom who were discussing, they could not tell the audience exactly what it was until the end.

"'Xanadu' you already know, it's the mysterious organization where Sixteen Nights and Autumn belong. Its actual owner is also Sixteennight's guardian, Dwynne Moulton. Like Sixteen Nights, Devion is also a telekinetic superpower user. Their organization has specially gathered such a group of ideological motivators to call for a huge 'ideal township movement'. ”

"Most mind-movers are out of control and always hurt those around them, so they are ostracized and have a sad past. The main thrust of the Ideal Township Movement is to find ways to reintegrate these activists into society and gain the respect and respect of all. Of course, this is only the superficial purpose, but the real purpose of Dewyan is not like this, and I think, with your ability to associate, I don't need to say it, right?"

"Sounds like I'm going to destroy this organization. ”

Fuko had just finished eating a bowl of rice, so he filled another bowl.

"Who knows?

Aphrodite was stupid in this fashion, spinning and jumping next to the couch, her pink skirt blooming like petals.

"You're going to be old like this...... Ah, by the way, what the hell is the 'Lucky Cup'? Is it the Holy Grail?"

"Of course not!' The 'Lucky Cup' is a special dueling tournament featuring the current 'King' Jack Atlas, who has a very high level of dueling and a duel win rate, and is said to be the closest man to the throne of the third generation of dueling kings. He was proud......"

"You don't need to popularize science, I've checked his information. ”

"It's an 'encyclopedia', and I feel like I'm useless. ”

Aphrodite made a look of grievance.

"When the hell will you learn to tell me the purpose directly?"

"Gee, it's so boring to be so direct. On the surface, this is a duel tournament specially set up for the 'king', and the duelists from all over the world who have received invitations will have the honor to fight the 'king'. ”

"So, actually?"

"Roar, it's up to you to find it, the real purpose. ”

Aphrodite stretched out her index finger and swung it from side to side like a pendulum.

"Am I going to attend this conference? How do I get an invitation?"

"You also need to get the invitation yourself, you can do whatever you want, as long as you can successfully participate in the conference in the end. ”

"So what do you do?"

"I'm just sitting here watching how you get the invitation. ”

Aphrodite sat down on the couch, her eyes wide as if she was surprised why Fuko would ask such a question.

"I knew it. ”

After dinner, the dormant Baba suddenly moved, and all the lights on its body turned on.

Aphrodite was surprised and said, "It's ready to help you put in the bathwater." ”

Fuko watched as Hachiba rolled his wheels and entered the bathroom.

"I've got the clothes ready for you. ”

Aphrodite took out the clothes that Fuko had to change, and didn't bother to fold them at all, instead throwing them messily onto the couch. After doing this, she also showed Fu Ko an expression of "you praise me".

Eight and eight are more useful than you.

"Tomorrow I'm going to the Fallen Zone. ”

Fu Ko bent down and put away the clothes, and said this. In this day and age, you don't need to go to school often, you can only go to school two or three times a week at most, and you can teach remotely through the Internet at other times.

That means he won't have to go to school tomorrow. What was that, he didn't know.

Since he had a whole day, he felt that he could try his luck in the Fallen Zone, and maybe with the aura of the game, he would be able to meet the "Black Rose Maiden", find her, and find the opening of the current dazed situation.

"I've decided to give you a new way to play, a way that you both like and don't like. ”

Fu Ko knew what "God" meant.

What he means is that since you like to act out of the system so much, then I will give you the maximum freedom to move and find the right route for yourself. Aphrodite will only act as a "guide" in the necessary moments.
