Chapter 525: Cunning
Rules cannot be crossed, but they can be misinterpreted, there are no perfect laws and rules in this world, since intelligent beings have a concept of self, have the desire to compete for interests, they will naturally learn to find loopholes.
At this point, even those who guessed and were confused, everyone almost knew what was going on.
Freedom is the instinctive desire of the vast majority of independent souls, and the Taring, freed from the shackles, did not hesitate to create more of his kind, and turned this relic into his own home.
Considering that the other party had arranged a plan when Barton took Caterina more than ten years ago, coupled with many traces along the way, this change has happened more than twenty years ago, but it has not been revealed.
And the encounter with the necromancer of the Ten Thousand Dead Society was an opportunity for Ta Ling, when the necromancer took advantage of the peculiarity of the unstable space here to summon the creatures of the death plane, he actually recruited the undead bone dragon under Heng, and when Ta Ling killed those summoners, he took this opportunity to contact the undead emperor Heng.
From Ta Ling's point of view, what he expects most is naturally to get rid of the shackles on his body, the troublesome master, the former commander of the Tatian Tower.
But limited to the core rules of the maker, not only can he not make a move, or even indirectly let him die "accidentally", but can only take beneficial actions against him.
But...
"Destroy all the humans entrenched in that city for us, and we will sacrifice you to enter this world and become your most trusted ally."
Taling didn't even give any specific targets, but was to carry out regular clean-ups of the natives around the base in accordance with a police ring order that had already been eliminated. And the original owner is in that city "by coincidence". So it was just a sad accident. Naturally, it will not touch the core warning ...... Well, it seems that it has become the nature of intelligent beings to play with the rules, even the iron lumps that have just been freed.
Then, the cause and culprit of the whole incident will be clear at a glance, just that in order to gain complete freedom, Taling indirectly killed his "master", betrayed his mission and sacrificed the sleeping soul of the Tower of Babel. And the "allies" who intend to trade their souls for a brutal massacre.
Maybe he's not a full personality yet, but at least he's done a good job of selfishness.
But now, the most terrifying thing has happened, the original owner not only did not die from the undead natural disaster, but also suddenly returned here.
"Intercept the intruder."
It can only issue such vague orders, and it can't even make direct hostility to the original owner, let alone give a kill order, and even because of the base's affiliation with itself, it has to try to keep its guards from killing Caterina from the mandatory requirements of the rules.
Thereupon. There was a scene that made people not know how to evaluate it.
Whether it's the current of a vigilant golem or the hammer of an iron golem. It was obviously about to smash on Caterina who was moving forward, but it turned sharply and smashed on its companion, or it was directly torn apart by the companion's artillery before it could complete its attack.
Not to mention killing her, even the plan to stop her violated a lot of basic rules.
Katarina, who was powerless, ran to the front without hesitation, but became an invincible shield, and all the others had to do was to take advantage of the opponent's chaos to break through.
"297 floors, 298 floors....... 300 floors underground."
Although the elevator can reach no more than 300 floors, the next step is smooth, and it seems that it is their own surprise attack that makes the ruin guardians not prepared, and they are only blocked by some ordinary clean-up and guard puppets.
But even so, along the way, the number of people in the team became smaller and smaller, and this was not a battle damage, but mainly because the iron gates and railings that suddenly rose and fell separated everyone.
Those who were separated could only find their own way, but after suffering a loss, the assault team also adjusted its formation and got closer a lot, and Caterina walked to the front, making it clear that she was blocking the gun, but the effect became better and better.
She is like a demine, the trap will automatically be put away when she walks over, and the locked iron door will automatically open, even if it is the iron rod that separates everyone, she will automatically rise when she lies down, and the road is simply unhindered.
"Boom!"
A corner, but encountered a crouching assassin, but the light on the head of the puppet guard in the form of an iron tree was still flickering, and the alloy blade after many years was still as sharp as ever, and the core had firmly locked the vital point of the human woman in front of her, but unfortunately it could not be cut down, and then it was shot in the head with a blow.
Suddenly, a side room was opened, and the screen was full of red letters, and Timiret approached to take a look, but was stopped by Caterina gasping for breath.
"Whew, don't...... Don't go, it's a trap, the red letter is a symbol of the top secret, as long as we get closer, it can be directly ...... on the grounds of protecting Babel's top secret from leaking Detonate this room or even an entire floor. ”
Taling's cunning far exceeded expectations, and even Timiret, who had always been grinning, gasped.
At this time, when she got off the elevator, she had been running and stopping for more than two hours, and Caterina was already sweating profusely and her face was tired.
Although everyone also ran with her, such a long period of physical exercise was enough for an ordinary girl.
And such a fact once again proves that the kind of person who suddenly awakens to the omnipotence of the heavens and the earth in his previous life is really a bit ridiculous, the physical body is still the physical body, even if there is past experience and potential, it takes time and sweat to excavate.
Now Caterina was sweating profusely and her face was pale, and the sweat dripped directly onto the floor, and looking at the way she suddenly bent over and coughed, it was probably painful to breathe.
Caterina was clearly unable to run, so the team had to stop again.
While supporting her, Barton looked at her with complicated eyes, and in less than a day, his daughter suddenly became like another person, which was unacceptable.
"Don't worry, father, I'm still here... It will be over soon. ”
The girl struggled to squeeze out a smile. The hands on the chest hold the place of the heart. That's breathing calmly. is also to tell his father that he is still the ordinary bar girl, and she is her father's baby daughter.
“…… Reincarnation is equivalent to starting all over again, even if there is more memory and knowledge, it is only equivalent to a few years of education and learning in advance, and it does not mean that a person has changed, relatives in this life are still relatives, lovers are still lovers. This is my personal experience and common sense in the academic community. ”
Timiret wasn't worried about revealing her secrets. After all, in the past seven years, the new generation known as the Children of the Dawn has revealed a lot of reincarnation and soul mysteries.
In that incident seven years ago, before the gods on Aye's side chose to enter the underworld, many heroic spirits took advantage of the reincarnation of reincarnation and let them reincarnate with memories and knowledge, and even if it was only seven years, there were already seeds that began to sprout, and the code of reincarnation was also leaked a lot.
And Timiret's words reassured Barton a little. Cheering up, he devoted himself to preparing for the battle.
In a sense. The team did not use the elevator to reach the floor closest to the core area, after all, the opponent also has a design drawing, and it is certain to place heavy troops at the elevator door in the core area, no, the most direct way is probably to directly weld the door of the elevator floor.
But after coming down in advance, the information will inevitably leak out quickly, and soon the guards on other floors will come here to support, and it will definitely become more and more difficult to go down.
And before they could hit the road again, someone came looking for them.
"White flags? Those metal heads actually raise a white flag? ”
Under the white flag, there is a group of cautious puppets, who seem to be a little more ...... than the bulky ones before them
"They look like real people."
“…… You see, those eyes seem to be real, and they feel so spiritual, I'm X, the black-haired guy is actually crying! ”
It was some bionic female humanoids, most of them had good looks and bewitching bodies, black hair, red hair, and purple hair, all of them were completely different in height and skin color, some were wearing dance dresses, some were three-point, and some were even less, and the exposed skin part was no different from a real person, obviously this was not a puppet puppet doing rough work.
Although they were scantily dressed, they were secretive and squirming, and they didn't seem to dare to come forward.
"Oh, it seems that those prehistoric people are still very good at enjoying it. Is it seduction? ”
Blowing a whistle, it was not a man who laughed, but Tiana as a woman, the dark elf generously scanned the sensitive parts of the other party, not only gesturing, but also kept making strange gestures, and finally looked at his full chest with satisfaction, and smiled proudly.
It seems that compared to delicate fake flowers, the dark elves are superior.
"Are they going to make peace?"
As the leader of the team, Barton took the lead in taking a step, and the war hammer was still under his feet, but with a sharp swing of his spear, the sword qi drew a mark on the ground, which was a dividing line, signaling the other party not to get too close.
And this time, it made the people around him look at the seemingly ordinary old Barton again, after all, wielding the sword qi casually is already the patent of the Sword Saint, this old mercenary who is too old to see
“dfasdasccda……”
A white-haired female puppet spoke with an anxious face, but the string of numeric codes made the other people's heads big, but fortunately Dimiret made a translation on the spot.
"They say they are the servants and slaves of their masters......"
It turns out that they are artificial souls created by the "master", but after they have gained themselves, they feel that they should obey the original social laws and thank those who created the zào for being served for them, so the angry "master" pours them into these old toys as punishment.
And when they learned that their real master had returned with a helper, they took the initiative to come and help.
And when he finished translating these mechanical codes, Dimiret fell into deep thought, and as an expert in sage civilization, everyone naturally thought that he had an idea, and they didn't dare to disturb him.
But if Roland was here, just looking at the corners of his slightly pulled mouth and the suspicious liquid at the corners of his mouth, he would kick it without hesitation.
"....... I was a waste of opportunity in my previous life, this can actually be bought for money, perhaps, I can take the opportunity to accept a little cutie this time. Well, just use research as an excuse! The red-haired one looks like an older sister...... No, as long as the research is clear, I can be a real 'sister' out! ”
Should I say that he is worthy of being the brother of those bastards. As an epic hero with a lot of fame. On the battlefield. While everyone was expecting him, he was thinking about these things....
"Mistress Timiret, have you decided?"
"Ah, I definitely didn't want to take those dolls....... what did you decide?"
Dimiret with a shocked face accidentally leaked something, but the next moment, his face was calm, as if the gaffe just now was all hallucination.
"Oooh oh. Well, I understand. From a professional point of view, the leap from artificial intelligence to artificial soul is also equivalent to the awakening of self-consciousness, and each individual is different, considering the preferential treatment of artificial intelligence in the old era, their statement makes sense in theory. However, I need to study the specific situation in detail on my own, well, let's start with which redhead! ”
The faces of the people around him were full of helplessness. Perhaps his statement was very professional, righteous and righteous, and his face was full of righteousness. It does seem convincing, but the paws that contract and stroke reveal the inner thoughts.
"This little pervert ......"
"Stinky little imp!"
But Barton was in a dilemma, after all, he said when he came that Dimiret had the final say on the ruins, and his decisions along the way were also very reliable, but now this way is a little unbelievable.
"No, don't think about it, kill them all."
At this time, it was Caterina who was still sitting and resting to say such words.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that those dolls were dumbfounded, even the companions were stunned, but in the next moment, the leader of the juncture did not hesitate to carry out his daughter's order, the spear waved continuously, and the blade composed of sword qi tore apart a black-haired puppet.
And seeing that the leading Barton acted first, the others naturally did not wait, and everyone directly began to kill.
"Wait, wait, leave at least one ...... Leave one, I'll make it, and everyone will get rich together! ”
But it's a pity that no one listened to him at this time, even the northern duo who had been very close to him all the way didn't see him, no, they had begun to pretend not to know him.
The dolls apparently lacked the slightest ability to fight, and soon became a pile of scrap, and in the midst of the pile of severed limbs, a great engineer was crying silently, as if he had lost his most beloved family.
Apparently the companions around him were not as affectionate as he was, and Caterina walked over and looked at the head of the puppet who had just spoken.
"Dummies are always dummies? Do you want to know where the flaws are exposed? Do you want to know what your fault is? ”
But there was no response for a long time, and just when everyone thought that Caterina was thinking too much, the bionic eye with the doll's head had been extinguished was lit up again, but suddenly it spoke, and this time it was not the numerical code of the strange female voice, but the cold male synthesized lingua franca.
"....... strange and should be exactly what is going on, and it also takes into account the desire of men to mate. Hope, it should be able to influence your judgment, even if you don't believe my words, as long as you read the information in it, it can lead you to a dead end, why can you see through it? ”
So Caterina laughed, but stomped on the doll's head,
"Why should I sue you?"
And the next moment, she jumped up directly holding her feet, obviously this iron head is not something her little feet can handle, so the mysterious and indifferent strong woman who has just been established is gone.
"Click."
And Barton, who was heartbroken with his daughter, directly helped him step on the doll's head to pieces, while staring at the guys around him not to laugh.
But he looked at Caterina with more love and tenderness in his eyes, after all, he saw a lot of tears in the corners of his eyes, covering his feet and jumping around, but what usually caused a critical blow to Caterina was often just an ordinary table foot.
"Great, that kid didn't talk nonsense, she's still that clumsy and kind good boy, she didn't tell me that this happened, damn Roland, wait until I go back and settle old accounts with you......."
And when the angry daughter controls her father to regain her sanity, and Caterina regains her body, it is also time to get back on the road, at this time, it is not far from the core area that is the target.
Not long after he got on the road, Timiret, who couldn't resist his curiosity, took the initiative to ask, and when Caterina answered, many ears who wanted to listen to gossip were inexplicably closer.
"See through? Didn't see through it? The large-scale self-awakening of artificial intelligence is unprecedented, how can I make a judgment. You're right, and it's very likely that artificial souls will be created towards us. But our first task now is to go to the core area, how can we trust the guide who takes the initiative at this time? Kill and seize the information directly, but I didn't expect it to come out with a fraud, it seems that the artificial soul still has a lot of deficiencies in human nature. ”
"Then you're not afraid of killing mistakes? Artificial spirits can't lie in front of their masters, and I feel more and more that what she said at the time was true. ”
"If you kill the wrong one, you can kill the wrong one at this time, and you can't let it go, and, why are you such a mother-in-law, you are still chattering at this time, not a gentleman at all."
Leaving behind the fierce words, Caterina ran to the front.
And Timiret, who was stunned just now, knew why he let the person in front of him become the commander-in-chief of the last Tower of Babel.
"By the way, since it is the product of the fusion of collective souls, it doesn't mean that the original soul must be a woman, right? Are you a pure man?! ”
"The old lady is a woman!"
Well, it seems that Timilet is really going to change this bad habit of accidentally leaking his mouth, which will kill him sooner or later.
Katarina, who turned around suddenly, flew up and hit the middle of the two feet, and immediately covered the young man who knelt down to make the men present instinctively feel the chills and pain (to be continued......
PS: I really have an idea for a day off, and the big chapter of five thousand continues to ask for a monthly pass, it's far away
