Chapter 33: The Land of the Forest
2B walked up to Pascal and asked her, "Pascal, I have some information about you that you need to provide. ”
Pascal was a little surprised, and pointed to himself, "Huh!??? ”
"Hmm."
"Okay, if I know any information, I'll answer it." Pascal nodded.
"Pascal, why don't you fight?" 2B asks the question she has hidden in her heart.
Pascal was silent for a moment: "...... Well, we've been living for hundreds of years. During this time, he lost his companions several times. She put her hands on her chest, "but...... It's not that I'm afraid of losing my companions. It's that I'm scared of myself...... I'm afraid that one day I'll get used to the death of my companion. So...... I'm not going to fight anymore. ”
"Is that so...... 2B felt a little sad inexplicably, but then asked Pascal, "So, Pascal, do you have any information about aliens?" ”
"Aliens? Is it our Creator? Pascal saw 2B and nodded, "Sorry, I don't know about that. We hadn't received any orders from them for hundreds of years, and we had been following the Creator's orders online: to destroy humans and cyborgs. ”
"Network?"
"Yes, all of our mechanical lifeforms are connected to a vast network where we can find information gathered by other robots, and also receive orders from the Creator. However, after an inexplicable disengagement from the Internet, I became conscious...... Realize that we can't go on like this any longer. So I teamed up with other robots that had broken away from the network to build the Robot Village. ”
"Is that so...... 2B pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are there any other robots besides your village that aren't connected to the internet?" ”
Pascal dragged his chin and thought for a moment: "Except for this village...... A few days ago, the singer in the amusement park you knocked down was counted as one. Well...... Also, all the robots in [Forest Country] are there!? ”
"Forest Country?"
Pascal nodded, "Yes, there is a large forest near our village, and there is a large group of mechanical lifeforms that have come together to form a nation. She spread her hands: "It's very xenophobic there, even we can't get close to ......."
"Where?" 2B was going to go over and check it out.
Pascal pointed in one direction: "Over there, to the northeast of Ruined City. It should be possible to pass from the ruins of a large commercial facility there...... "She looked at 9S and 2B with some concern" There has been some chaos there recently, please be careful. ”
"I see." Pascal, who heard 2B's answer, nodded, activated the injector and flew away.
"9S, let's go." 2B called 9S and ran towards the northeast of the ruined city.
Ten minutes later, 9S and 2B came to the edge of the ruined city, and in front of them was a huge canyon, with only a drawbridge connecting the two sides between the canyons, and not far to the right was the defense of the robot village.
As soon as 9S stepped on the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge began to shake and make an unpleasant sound. The 2B next to it ran directly and quickly, and during this period, although the suspension bridge shook more, it did not break, and 9S walked over slowly.
"That's what it is...... Pascal said that the commercial facilities of it. 2B looked around.
Pod042 searched the database for a while and said, "According to the records, this is a place called the Department Store. ”
"So, where are we going?"
"According to the scan, it should be ......" Before Pod042 could finish speaking, a voice from above 2B interrupted Pod042's speech.
Several medium-sized robots fell from a height and smashed the escalator to the right of 2B. 2B pulled out the 'White Contract' and another black sword, which was 11B's weapon, called the 'Yoshiba Bronze Knife'. After 16D handed this to 2B, she put away the big sword 'Hakuno Covenant', so now 2B is holding a sword in both hands.
2B looked at the red light in the robot's eyes and was about to rush forward, but the voice behind him made 2B stop: "2B Wait a minute, these robots are robots that have left the network, not enemies." ”
"But......" 2B hesitated as he looked at the robots that were holding large knives and rushing towards them with great momentum.
"It's okay, I'll stop them." 9S unleashed hacking magic on those robots. Instead of destroying the core of the robots as before, he let them shut down and restart automatically after a while.
After the hacking magic of 9S is advanced, the hacking speed is very fast, and a robot will fall almost every second. At this moment, one of the robots farthest away from 9S and 2B looked at their falling companions, turned around and ran away. 9S didn't let him go and directly asked him to shut down, but after the successful shutdown, this robot did not fall down directly like other robots, but a large amount of electric light came out of its body.
"Be careful! It's going to explode. 2B was directly in front of 9S, and before 9S could say anything, the robot exploded. But the scope of the explosion was very small, and it could be said that it was only after some sparks exploded on the surface.
The robot took a step forward and fell to the ground. His round head was separated from his body and rolled in front of 2B.
2B prepares to step over the head, but finds it shaking, and 2B raises his twin knives in front of his chest. After a few seconds, the head cracked open in the middle, revealing that 2B found a smaller head, similar to that of other robots, but with a weird smile on its mouth and two rows of teeth.
The head shook a few times, and the lower row of teeth in the mouth moved up and down, and a little boy's voice sounded: "Here!?" ”
He saw 2B and 9S standing in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Huh...... ...... are you? ”
9S walked over and introduced himself: "My name is 9S, what's your name?" 2B saw 9S say his name and introduced himself: "My name is 2B." ”
"Huh! Me? My words...... I should be called Emir, right? The emir said with some uncertainty.
"Emir, why are you hiding in a robot's head?" 2B asked.
"I'm in the head of a robot!?" The emir saw the two halves of the iron shell beside him and began to remember. But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember why, and he found that he couldn't remember anything but his own name, and the blankness in his mind frightened him.
"Ah......h Emir shouted, now he can't care about the 9S and 2B he just met, he just wants to escape from here and find a place where no one is there to calm down. So the emir rolled his body and rolled quickly behind him.
"Emir!" 9S and 2B tried to stop the emir, but the emir only took a second or two before disappearing. With a loud crash, a large amount of dust was shaken into the air not far away, as if the emir had broken something.
9S and 2B walked over and found that it was the exit of this [department store], where there was originally an iron gate that was pulled down, but now it had been knocked out of a large hole by the emir.
9S and 2B walked out of the exit and found a large forest outside.
"If you enter from here, it should be the area of the forest country." 9S looked around and saw that there was almost only one color here: green. Even the rocks are covered with green moss.
