Chapter 9 I only came for a while and had to go back

As soon as 9S walked into the command center and was about to walk towards the commander, suddenly a short film began to play on the largest screen in the room, and everyone stood up.

"In the year 5012, the gorgeous history of mankind suddenly came to an end, and aliens attacked from the outer universe!" Earth, the home of humanity, and its moon, the moon, appear on the screen, while alien spaceships come from the universe to Earth.

"And because of the alien weapon 'mechanical lifeform', human civilization was almost destroyed." The image changes to a different one: a large number of robots emerge from the alien spaceship and land directly on Earth.

"The survivors fled to the moon." The screen changes again, this time to Earth's satellite: the Moon.

"In 5204, the base group set up in satellite orbit began to send 'artificial intelligence robots' (I like to call cyborgs) to retake the earth, and after dozens of large-scale airborne operations, they failed to deliver a fatal blow to them." A large group of bases in orbit of satellites appeared on the screen, and from within them, groups of flying mechs emerged and rushed towards Earth.

Then the screen changed again, and the logo of the Leaf Sending Force appeared on it: "And your Sending Leaf Force exists to change this status quo, I hope you can complete the mission as the final weapon." ”

"Yes! Yes, sir! The commander also replied with a serious face, and after finishing speaking, he smashed his left hand into a fist on his chest: "Mankind is immortal!" ”

Everyone clenched their left hands and smashed them on their chests: "Mankind is immortal!" ”

The screen brightened slightly: "I wish you all success." ”

9S, who was standing behind them, had a complicated look on his face, and he knew the truth, looking at everything in front of him, and felt a deep sadness.

The screen returned to its original state, and everyone returned to their posts to continue their work, while the commander turned to see 9S standing in the doorway.

"9S, you're here, you go to room 2B now, and help her configure the settings for 'boot'." The commander came to 9S.

9S lowered his head and did not speak.

"What's wrong with you, 9S?" The commander's brow furrowed.

"Ahh Nothing, do you want me to configure the system for Miss 2B? 9S was startled, but fortunately he vaguely heard the commander's mission just now.

“…… Yes, 2B is probably already waiting in his room right now, so you can hurry over there. By the way, you will be responsible for the daily maintenance of 2B in the future. The commander stared at 9S for a moment, then waved his hand to let 9S do the mission.

9S gave the commander a cautious look, turned and walked towards the gate.

"Wait." The commander's voice came from behind him, startling 9S a lot, he leaned sideways, his whole body tensed: "Is there anything else?" Commander. ”

"After the 2B configuration is completed, you two will come here for a while, there is a task." After the commander said this, he walked up the elevator without looking back, and returned to his place below.

9S let out a long breath and walked out of the command center. As he walked towards Room 2B, he said to himself, "It's okay, the commander doesn't seem to notice anything wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have had a place to run in space." ”

9S walked to the front of Room 2B, the door opened automatically, and he said as he walked in, "Sorry to disturb." ”

But no one responded, 9S found 2B lying on the bed, as if asleep, Pod042 next to her sensed that someone was coming, turned around, and saw 9S, so he flew to the side and made a "please" gesture with the mechanical arm.

9S glanced at Pod042 and didn't say anything, coming to the bed and using hacking magic on 2B.

It was pitch black in front of 2B, and she was here waiting for 9S to come and help her configure the system. I don't know how long it took, a message came to her mind: "Hey, can Miss 2B hear me?" It's time to start the system configuration. First, check your system's brightness settings. ”

2B set the brightness he was used to in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a soft light shone on a black floor in front of him from above.

"Miss 2B, is this brightness okay?" 9S's voice came again, and after getting a response from 2B, he said: "Then let's start the next item, we start to set the sound, and the sound recognition has been set to silent mode by me, please adjust it yourself." Oh yes, this process needs to be recorded until I turn on the recording. Okay, now I'll repeat a few words, please adjust to hear me. ”

"Miss 2B, can you hear me? Hey, hey, please adjust to be able to hear me, please adjust to wait until you hear me speak......" 9S kept repeating more than a dozen times before receiving a positive reply from 2B.

"Is that okay?"

"No problem...... Hear the sound of 9S...... I'm relieved. 2B's voice was heard.

"Eh~ this...... This is really shy~" The first time 9S heard others comment on himself like this, his cheeks in reality had turned red.

2B waited for a while, but 9S still didn't speak, so he sent him a message: "What's wrong?" ”

9S looked at the "Self-Detonation Clearance: Off" in front of him and was silent, and after receiving 2B's message, he hurriedly said: "Ah, it's nothing, the setting has been completed, you can wake up." ”

2B opened her eyes, and 9S next to her smiled at her, "Good morning." She sat up, straightened her hair, and got out of bed.

"9S ......" 2B stared at 9S, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Because of the Commander's mission, I'm here to do maintenance work for Miss 2B, and I'll check it regularly in the future."

“…… yes. 2B's eyes were still fixed on 9S.

"Huh? Don't believe me? It's okay, our 9S type cyborg is notoriously excellent. "9S felt very strange, and didn't know why 2B looked at him like this." Didn't I have amnesia and was discovered by 2B? The thought that popped up in his mind startled 9S, and then he hurriedly comforted himself: "It's impossible, even the technicians of the bunker didn't find out, 2B is obviously a combat type, how can it be found." ”

“…… Why? My self-detonation permit wasn't activated, why are you hiding it from me? 2B stared at 9S for a moment before speaking.

"Huh! What's this...... That's not because I'm going to be working with Miss 2B from now on, and when we need to use a self-detonation, wouldn't it be better to use a black box to self-detonate. 9S didn't expect this to be the reason, so he made up an excuse in a panic and perfunctory 2B.

2B apparently took this excuse seriously, pursed his lips, and then said to 9S, "...... 9S。 ”

"Huh? What's wrong? 9S was startled, thinking that 2B was going to ask him something.

"No need to wear honorifics."

"Huh?" 9S couldn't react for a while.

“…… I don't need to add the word 'Miss' to my name. ”

"Huh! Good...... Okay, I got it. 9S breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this thing, and it just so happened that 9S was not used to the name 2B 'Miss'.

“…… Eh, by the way, 2B, the commander has a task for us, let's get over there. 9S remembered the task assigned by the commander, and after talking to 2B, he took the lead towards the command center, and 2B watched 9S walk out of the room and silently followed.

9S and 2B walked into the command center, took the elevator to the hall below, and walked behind the commander. The commander turned around and saw 2B behind 9S: "Ah~ It's 2B, is the maintenance over?" ”

"Yes."

"Destroy the enemy through the fusion reaction of the black box...... Don't mess around like this in the future. ”

“…… Be. ”

"I'm sorry to do that, but I have a task for you. Meet up with the rebels on the surface and gather information. ”

"Huh? Isn't the task of liaising with the rebels assigned to other members of the Parachute force? 9S felt very strange, although he knew that 2B would return to the ground, but he was not embarrassed for something, the memory of his predecessor made 9S ask this question.

“…… I have lost contact with the previous person in charge, including this issue, I hope you can investigate. ”

"Understood...... 2B turned around and left, and 9S hurriedly followed.

"Speaking of the surface...... In other words, you need to use a flying mecha, 2B let's go to the hangar, because the cost of using a flying mecha is very high, so there are few opportunities to use it. "In my previous life, 9S was just an otaku, and the most expensive means of transportation I ever did was the bus, and I was very excited to be able to sit on a flying mecha again, and I didn't enjoy it at all last time. Although the predecessor also had a few driving experiences in the database, it was not his own personal experience, so 9S urged 2B to hurry up and go to the hangar.

2B glanced at the excited 9S, not knowing why he was so excited, but he still accelerated towards the hangar.

Looking at the flying mecha in front of him, 9S hurriedly sat down and asked 2B to hurry up. When both of them entered the flying mech, the exit behind them opened. 9S and 2B transform the mech into airplane form and rush out.

A few minutes later, they rushed into the atmosphere, turned off the ejectors of the mech, and went into a freefall movement. Then several magic arrays enveloped the entire flying mech, protecting them from the friction between the atmosphere and the flying mecha from harming them.

After a few minutes of free fall, they turned on the jet device of the flying mech, and at this time they were shuttling through the white clouds, flying towards the mission site. Then a group of flying robots surrounded the flying mechs of the two, but fortunately, because the super large weapon had been destroyed, there was no need to worry about laser shooting from a distance.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to finish off all the enemies before flying towards the mission location.
