9S and 2B spent an hour collecting all the things needed by the weapon shop manager and the prop shop manager.

"2B, this is the last 'complex machine', let's go back to camp." 9S picks up the quest items on the ground and proposes to 2B.

"Okay, let's go back and hand in the mission." 2B nodded.

Return to the rebel camp.

The manager of the weapons shop was bored in his shop because he couldn't open it, and then he happened to see 9S and 2B coming in through the door.

"Oooh...... You've come back, have you found what you're looking for? The manager of the weapons shop had an expectant look on his face.

"Yes, I've already collected four 'complex machines', uncle, wait a minute, I'll help you fix it right away." 9S walked over to the prop box and pulled out four 'complex machines' from his backpack to start repairing the prop box.

After more than ten minutes, 9S raised his head: "Okay, this will be no problem, it is estimated that it will be used for a long time, if it is broken again, you can come to me again to repair it." ”

"Oh oh, thank you——! Now we can finally start business. "The manager of the weapons shop thinks this is the best thing I've ever encountered today.

"That's right, it's really exciting!" 9S politely spoke.

"Leave it to me! I'm making weapons to protect my companions. The store manager had a deep confidence on his face, and then muttered to himself with a dejected face, "But, ah...... Every now and then, I have the idea that I am making weapons that may be making my companions die faster......"

2B stared at the store manager and suddenly said, "...... No, if you don't have a weapon, you will die faster, our mission is to fight mechanical lifeforms, and there is no escape from ......" 2B fell silent as he spoke. The scene was very awkward for a while.

9S on the side immediately changed the topic: "Uncle, do you have a suitable big sword here?" We need to buy one. ”

The store manager who didn't know what to say to answer 2B heard 9S's inquiry, and hurriedly took over: "Ah~ I'm sorry, I didn't say what I said just now." But if you need a great sword, I'll give you one for your help. Although it is not a magic weapon, the material is very strong and can be used for a long time. ”

"Then thank you, uncle." 9S was grateful as he took a large white sword from the store manager.

"No thanks, that's what you deserve, remember to come often, I'll have a new weapon ready next time." The store manager waved his hand and said.

"Okay, then let's go to the prop shop manager first, and complete the task he gave us." 9S handed the sword to 2B and said, 2B took the sword and carried it behind him.

The store manager waved his hand: "Go, go, remember, come often~"

"Got it~" 9S turned around and walked towards the prop shop.

Walked up to the manager of the props shop and handed him all the materials, the store manager took the materials with a grateful face, counted them and said to 9S: "Oh, I collected the materials I needed so quickly, thank you!" Now you can sell plug-in chips......"

2B looked at the store manager with an excited face and said, "So how about repairing your own legs?" I think the materials are ...... enough."

"Ahhh~" The store manager's face seemed to be a little moved, but he still relented: "Hmm...... Not ......"

"Is there any other reason why it can't be repaired?" 2B didn't understand why the store manager was so stubborn.

The store manager hesitated for a moment, looking very reluctant to say it, but still wanted to find someone to talk to: "...... Broken left leg...... Or prototype parts. During the long war, this game has also been repaired many times. Let's change the parts and change the clothes, and the ones left from the beginning...... All that's left is the left leg. If you were to replace it, you would feel like you would no longer be yourself. Am I still the real [me]......"

2B doesn't understand this idea, and while she's on a mission, if the mission is about to fail, 2B will detonate itself to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy. Just like last time, she didn't think that way after having changed many prosthetics. So he asked 9S beside him, "Na~9S, why does he think so." ”

9S sorted out his knowledge about his past life: "Well, this is a philosophical question. ”

"Philosophy?" This is the first time 2B has heard this word.

"Hmm...... Let me tell you a story: 'There was a ship that was moving on the sea, and because it was so old that the parts began to deteriorate, people made new parts to replace them. As time went by, more and more parts were replaced, and finally one day all the components of that ship were replaced with new ones. At this time, someone reassembled the old parts that had been replaced into a new ship, so which one was the first ship, the ship composed of new parts or the ship composed of old parts? I think the store manager is bothered by this. ”

2B looked at the store manager who was lost in thought because of 9S's words, as if he understood something, and wanted to say something in his mouth, but the voice of Anemone came from behind him: "2B and 9S, you are here!" ”

9S and 2B turned around and saw Anemone coming over: "I have a task for you. Recently, there seems to be a lot of vicious mechanical lifeforms in the desert area. This is something that has never happened before, so maybe something is happening. I've heard that your Parachute troops are also very good at investigating in addition to fighting, can I ask you to investigate the cause of the anomaly in the desert area? ”

Without thinking, 2B agreed: "No problem, it's our obligation." ”、

Anemone was delighted: "Yes, thank you." I will contact my companions in the desert beforehand, so please be careful. With that, he turned and walked away, apparently intending to contact his compatriots in the desert.

2B turned back to look at the store manager who had come back to his senses, and the store manager had a relieved smile on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm fine, I can sell prosthetic chips in the future, and you can come and buy it at any time~ By the way, this is your reward for helping me." As he spoke, he handed over some coins and a few props. Also, you can collect the mechanical parts of the people you defeated in the battle, and I'll buy them. ”

9S took it, a total of 3000 yuan and a few strange-looking grenades (I set no blood recovery pills =-=), and four plug-in chips: two that increase the attack power of the machine gun, and two that can slow down the enemy.

"But what the hell is this really smelling bag?" 9S looked at the bag in his hand and secretly thought, picked it up and smelled it, it really smelled very good, exuding an indescribable fragrance.

After saying goodbye to the prop shop manager, 9S and 2B leave the camp and run towards the area shown on the map that marks the desert.

After more than ten minutes, 9S and 2B walked to the place marked on the map, which was an inverted V-shaped passage formed after the collapse of the two buildings.

9S and 2B glanced at each other and walked in, and after walking for a few minutes, the communication systems of 9S and 2B were turned on at the same time, and the 60-year-old man on the moon that 9S saw last time appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he opened his mouth and said: "The meeting of humans on the surface of the moon has informed all the cyborgs who are fighting on the surface that now, the war with the mechanical life forms is in a stalemate. After a long battle, you will always be tired, but I hope you will not give up and continue to fight. To regain the earth, this is the sad wish of hundreds of thousands of human beings located on the surface of the moon, may mankind be immortal! After saying that, he turned off the communication system, and 9S and 2B didn't speak, as if nothing had happened just now.

In 9S's memory, this speech had been repeated dozens of times, and 9S shook his head and thought: "No wonder many cyborgs have chosen to defect, except for a simple warrior like 2B who will not doubt it, who finds out that after being deceived by such a lie for so many years, it is good not to attack the bunker, and it can't let them defect?" ”
