Chapter 51: Adam's Invitation
9S took the hard drive and handed it to Pod153 behind him, asking her to read the information on the hard drive.
"Reading...... Found a video material, ready to play ......" Pod153 took over the hard drive, and after scanning a video, it directly projected the video on the light curtain.
"Ahem......" A figure appeared on the light curtain, it was Adam! At this time he put on a white shirt and a black bow tie, and he coughed, bent down, and made a gentlemanly salute.
"9S......" Adam straightened up and said, "It's been a long time...... Not long ago, I just built a really great place, and this is the ......" Adam turned to the side, allowing 9S to see the scene behind him, which was a pure white street, except that on the pavement of the street, some cyborgs were scattered there.
"Oh......" Adam turned his body back, "don't care about the prosthetics, they're just ornaments...... Now I would like to invite you to invite 9S to come and visit me, I wonder if you can come here? He walked deeper into the street: "Of course, how could I, as the host, forget to write an invitation to a guest?" ā
Adam walked to the end of the street, came to a wide place like a square, he walked to the bottom of a clock tower, stroked the wall of the clock tower, and said slowly: "9S, this is the invitation I have prepared for you......"
As soon as Adam's words fell, a large hole was cracked on the left and right sides of the tower, and 9S could clearly see a white cross and ...... inside the two large holes
"Tipol?! Popol?! 9S cried out in shock, but Tipole and Popol above the light curtain could not hear 9S's shouts, and both of them were locked to the cross with a white chain.
Adam walked over and grabbed the camera with both hands, with a weird smile on his face: "That's right! 9Sā¦ā¦ You have a good relationship with these two people, right?! Otherwise, they wouldn't have mentioned you in the chat! I use the two of them as an invitation to invite you to come and visit me, otherwise...... I'm going to have to make them part of the ornaments......" This is the end of the video, and the frame stops on Adam's eerie smile.
"Report: In addition to the video, there is a coordinate data, which has been marked on the map...... "Pod153 has scanned the entire hard drive, and found that there is only one video and one coordinate in it.
However, 9S's attention was not on this, and he asked Anemone with an anxious face, "What's going on?" How did Tipol and Popol get caught? ā
"At noon today, Tibol and Popol left the camp and walked towards the desert...... An hour ago, a small robot with yellow eyes walked into the camp and went out after putting the hard drive down, and it was only after we saw the video inside that we learned that both Tibol and Popol had been captured......" Anemone clasped her hands to her chest, her face revealing worry.
"I didn't plan to call you back 9S, I originally wanted the fighters in the camp to rescue them......" The worry on Anemone's face turned into shame, "but...... When they heard that it was Tipol and Popol who were to be rescued, they all walked away silently......"
9S's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the whole person exuded a coldness, and he stared at the anemone tightly: "...... Why! ā
Anemone turned her head, not daring to look at 9S, she said slowly: "Tipol and Popol...... A long time ago, there was a rampage that caused a major accident, though it wasn't done by Tibor and Popol...... But after that, all cyborgs of the same type were destroyed, leaving only them now...... In order to prevent similar situations from happening again...... Watched by everyone...... Therefore, the people in the camp did not welcome the two sisters, Tibol and Popol. ā
"But......" 9S didn't know what that major accident was: "But...... It's not Tiboul's and Popol's fault! ā
"I know this......" Anemone knew that it was not the fault of the two sisters, but ...... She bent down and said, "Please...... Please go and get them back! 9Sļ¼ ā
9S silently looked at the anemone who bowed to him, and his clenched fists relaxed a little, but the coldness on his face did not dissipate: "...... I know! I'm going to get Tipol and Popol back! With that, 9S turned and walked away, leaving the door of the rebel camp.
After 9S walked away, Anemone got up, looked at his distant figure and muttered, "Please...... 9Sā¦ā¦ā
After leaving the camp, 9S ran straight towards the underground cavern where the aliens had last been found.
Ten minutes later, 9S ran into the huge deep pit, regardless of the robots that pounced on him, he grabbed Pod153 and jumped directly into the entrance of the underground cavern.
A few seconds later, he grabbed Pod153's 9S and stepped into the shallow pool below, not paying attention to his soaked shoes, but looking at a robot not far from him.
The robot's electronic eyes were also yellow, but it didn't chant the name of 9S like the robots above, it just stood there quietly, pointing to a hole to its left that was the last time 2B and 9S entered and found the alien base.
"Tsk~ Adam, are you afraid that I will get lost?" 9S sneered, stepped out of the pool, and walked towards the hole, his wet shoes leaving a trail of footprints on the ground.
"Bang Bang Bang ......" 9S walked in the passage, the sound of wet shoes stepping on the ground continued to echo in the passage, 9S walked not long ago, and saw a medium-sized robot not far in front.
The robot, which also has yellow eyes, stands in the middle of the passage, blocking the path to the alien base. After seeing 9S, it raised its left hand and pointed to another path to its left, indicating that 9S should go there.
After walking into the passage on the right, it didn't take long for 9S to walk to the end of the passage and saw an elevator mounted on the wall, and the indicator light on the top of the elevator was green, indicating that the elevator could be used.
9S walked over and pressed the button next to the elevator.
"Ding~" The door of the elevator opened to both sides, and after 9S walked in, the door of the elevator closed with a "ding~" sound.
After a few seconds, 9S standing in the elevator had a feeling of weightlessness, and the elevator was moving downward.
Dozens of seconds later, the elevator stopped, the doors opened in both directions, and 9S walked onto a white street.
The pavement was white, the houses were white, and when 9S looked up, even the sky was white. In the sky, an unknown light source was emitting a white light, and the light shone on the body of 9S, who had just come out of the elevator, which actually made him feel a trace of warmth.
9S looked around, and in addition to the prosthetics of the leaf team members on the ground, he saw a robot not far away, which was raising its right hand and pointing to the street on the right, signaling that 9S should go there.
9S keeps moving along the street, and every time it encounters a junction or fork in the road, a robot will stand not far away to guide him. 9S walked for several minutes before he came to the square in the video.
There is not a single prosthetic body of a parasitic leaf member on the ground in this square, except for many small white squares of various sizes, which almost cover the square, so that 9S must move them before he can land when walking.
9S had barely taken a few steps inside when the white squares suddenly moved.
......The white squares suddenly rolled, their water chestnuts crashed to the ground with a crisp sound, and thousands of white squares rushed towards 9S, and before they could touch 9S, the white squares bypassed him and rolled behind him.
After bypassing 9S, these small white squares converged to form a larger square, and in this way, the small squares continued to combine into large squares, and after all the small squares were gone, these remaining large squares formed a huge wall at the entrance of 9S, directly cutting off his retreat.
9S looked at the gapless white wall and knew that Adam was about to appear, so he turned around and saw the front of the clock tower, with many small squares piled together.
