Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Promise to Each Other
"Ding~!"
The system prompts: "Do you accept the special task [Entrustment of the Heart]?" ”
I was overjoyed, it was actually a special mission, since the last incident in the middle of the building, I already know very well how valuable this special mission is, and immediately clicked to confirm.
"Ding~!"
The system prompts: "You have accepted the special quest [Entrustment of the Heart]!" (Mission Level 0-0)"
Quest content: "Go to the rooftop of the forgotten ancient city and persuade Cato to create 'her'." ”
I was slightly stunned, the mission level is actually zero?
The task level means the difficulty of the task, if the task level is 40-50, then the success rate of the player level in 40-45 to complete the task is relatively large, the player level is lower than the task level, and the probability of completing the task is naturally low, but in fact, as long as there is NB equipment, everything is possible.
Cato said his final promise and left the room with the goblins as my Alchemist's Wish mission changed.
"Ding~!"
The system prompts: "Return to Shaohui City to meet the master and apprentice." ”
……
I'm happy, and I guess I'll be able to get the mission reward after I return to the city, but the top priority is to solve the special task [Heart's Entrustment] first.
So, I left the room and returned to the corridor where the left and right branches off, and only the road on the right was untraveled, which was probably the way to the rooftop.
I walked in the dark for a while, and at a few corners I also had a 'kiss' with the wall from time to time, it was too dark to help, the environment was black, and I had to say that the game maker was also dark, and it would not work to get a few more torches in the environment setting.
Speaking of torches...... I suddenly had an idea, and remembered that the middle-aged man entrusted with the task gave me a flamethrower, which was originally intended to be used to burn corpses, but it turned out that burning corpses was not needed, and it should come in handy here.
I immediately pulled out the mission item [Flamethrower] from the package, which was the same size as the lighter, and I gently pressed the button.
"Boom~!"
I couldn't help but be shocked, a strong tongue of fire spat out of the jet mouth, and it could continue to spray, it was really incomprehensible, such a small thing could have such a big effect.
Fortunately, the surroundings immediately became brighter, and a small staircase extending upwards was clearly visible behind a few bends in front of us.
I immediately rushed through it with a blast, and then ran up the stairs.
The stairs weren't too long, and it didn't take long for the light source to be visible, so I turned off the flamethrower and walked out.
……
In an instant, the fresh air came to the nostrils, which could not be compared with the closed and depressed atmosphere of the city, and it was surprising that there was no strong wind and sand at the highest point, and the sandstorms were flying in the middle and high places of the ancient city.
I had a glimpse of the rooftop of this ancient city, which is the only platform in the ancient city on a high place, and it is estimated that it was built as a lookout, and it can take in the panoramic view of the entire desert, which is very spectacular.
While I was still immersed in the scenery, I heard a beautiful voice behind me.
"Who are you, if you dare to move, you will bear the consequences!"
I was immediately startled, the voice was a female voice, and there was no hint of joking in her tone, so I had to turn around slowly and take a look.
I was struck by the sight of a beautiful girl in a red dress, holding a pistol-like weapon in her right hand, the head of which was aimed at my head.
The breeze blows, her long flowing hair dances, her snowy face seems to be unable to withstand the caress of the breeze, it looks so blown, a pair of beautiful eyes exude water spirit, staring at me, an outsider, her expression is full of doubt and surprise, and the words 'nameless mecha' are on her head.
I couldn't help but be stunned, mecha! In that case, she was the last ...... Cato had ever made.
To be honest, from the way just now, I always thought that this last mecha was the same as those mecha in the ancient city, the whole look of a transformer, but I didn't expect that this beautiful and delicious girl in front of me was actually a mecha, if it wasn't for the name, no matter who saw it, they thought it was just an ordinary human beauty.
I stayed there completely, is this really a mecha, how can it be so beautiful......
The girl stared at me and said solemnly, "You... Are you a desert thief too? ”
I coughed symbolically a few times and said, "No, I'm here on Cato's behalf." ”
Hearing this, the girl's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and then she put down her weapon, turned her head to look at the magnificent desert, and her eyes showed a trace of sadness: "He, what did he ask you to do." ”
I didn't plan to beat around the bush, after all, time is precious, so I went straight to the point and said: "Don't you have life, thoughts, and feelings, why do you want to stay here alone, go back to Shaohui City with me, and live with their master and apprentice." ”
The girl was very surprised by my words, staring at me with wide eyes, her small mouth opened slightly, it was really hard to imagine that a mecha could make such a delicate human expression, and in the dark I didn't treat her as a mecha, but as a person.
"I refuse." The girl finished decisively, and continued: "I hate that man, the Cato who made me. ”
I was a little surprised, and said, "Why, aren't you the only mecha he made that has a 'heart'?" ”
The girl's beautiful eyes were at a glance, and she walked to the fence of the lookout platform with her legs, and muttered: "What's the matter, I wish I didn't have this so-called 'heart', so that like other mechas, at least there would be no heavy feeling in my heart when I killed someone." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "My heart is heavy, I have a feeling, this is the ultimate dream of Cato to build a mecha, and you are the crystallization born from Cato's dream, it is estimated that those mechas without self-thinking want to have this 'heart'." ”
The girl snorted softly and said, "Perhaps this 'heart' is too heavy for me, and I find myself scared by the sight of many little bugs with many feet, worried by the fact that Cato has not eaten for many days, and sad and weeping by the death of the little goblin...... Could it be that this is the 'heart' that the mecha is looking forward to, but I think that those mecha without a heart don't have all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but live freely. ”
I shook my head and said, "You are wrong, very wrong, if you really don't have these feelings, here to borrow a sentence from Aunt Qiong Yao, 'That kind of life will be like a dry well, lifeless', I simply think that there is no need to be born in this world at all." ”
The girl seemed to be stunned by my words, and opened her mouth for a long time: "Even so, but he made me kill someone, even if I have to thank him for making me born in this world, and thank him for all that he gave me, I can't forgive him for borrowing my hands to kill." ”
Looking at her a little angry, it's really cute, she really cares about her killing, and blames Cato for setting her heart so kindly, if the original setting was extremely cruel, then it would be fine.
In this case, I had no choice but to slowly enlighten myself: "So you also blame him, if you didn't solve those thieves at that time, I'm afraid you and Cato would be in danger of life, it is more appropriate to say that it is murder, it is better to say that it is self-defense, anyway, you didn't do something very hurtful, but those desert thieves, all of them are murderous, and everyone can be punished." ”
The girl listened to my words and gradually began to change, and I realized that my words were useful, so I continued: "There is no need to blame myself or blame Cato anymore, it may be more fun to see everything a little bit, here is a quote from a character in Dragon Ball, 'If it is for the right thing, there is no sin at all in killing people, there are some people in the world who can't communicate with him in words at all' understand?" ”
The girl frowned and said, "How do you know how to borrow someone else's words." ”
I smiled, "That's to blame for my loneliness." ”
"Puff~!" The girl couldn't help but smile, this was the first time I saw her smile, it was so moving, like a snow lotus blooming on the Tianshan Mountain.
I think it's almost time to compromise on this incident, I really admire my ability to persuade, first persuaded Luo Ya, and now persuaded this girl, it's really tyrannical that I don't join the ranks of negotiators.
"Why, have you decided whether or not to go back to Cato?" I finally confirmed.
The girl rolled her round eyes and said something that I didn't expect: "No, I don't have a good relationship with Cato anyway, but I did think about what to do next." ”
I was slightly stunned and puzzled, "What do you want to do?" ”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "To be honest, I often go into Cato's room to flip through a book while he is asleep, and I learned a sentence from the book: 'The little woman has nothing to reciprocate, so she has to make a promise!'" Since you gave me the idea of regaining my life, then I will be your person from now on. ”
"Hmm~!" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and a beautiful woman said to me that I wanted to make a promise! This is really the first time, a little unaccustomed, ahem, although it is a mecha, and it is an NPC, but this reality is no different from a human girl in reality.
Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, the girl pouted, "What, dislike me?" Or do you think I'm not good enough to hinder your future adventures? Why don't I show you what I'm capable of? ”
After speaking, the girl pulled out the pistol just now out of nowhere and aimed at one of the aliens in the desert under the castle.
"Huh~!"
After a while, a powerful beam of light was launched, directly through the body of the alien, and the large "15000" damage number flew up, and the alien died violently on the spot.
I couldn't help but be surprised, it really deserved to be the latest mecha, watching her snowy little hand pull the trigger, I don't know if her flesh is mechanical or really like human skin.
With curiosity, I couldn't help but blurt out, "Can you let me touch it?" ”
Suddenly, the girl blushed to the root of her ears, tilted her head slightly, and said softly: "Although... Although people agreed to make a promise... But... But that's going too fast......"
…… I was a little speechless, what the hell was she thinking, I continued: "Then I'm going to touch it~!" ”
After speaking, I took a few steps forward, and she naturally reacted backwards, but there was a fence behind her, so she had to turn her head sideways, blushing and saying, "People... People are not ready yet...... Please... Please be gentle..."
I reached for her left hand and it felt! It's no different from an ordinary girl, and the slightest warmth comes from it, and it's so soft that I can't help but exclaim in my heart: "I didn't expect to be so close to humans." ”
"Huh~?" The girl was blindfolded and looked at my left hand.
"Okay, I'm done." I laughed.
The girl's expression was a little embarrassed: "Just... That's it? ”
I nodded, "How?" ”
“……”
“……”
The girl was embarrassed and said, "You fool. ”
