Chapter 41: The Last Moment

It's just a machine; Obviously, we will only follow the pre-written program to choose the best solution.

That's how it should be......

However, at this moment, he can not hesitate to make such a plan that violates the core of "efficiency first" design, is there something wrong?

Or is this the "most efficient" solution?

This moment, this moment...... As the original designer, Vane couldn't figure out why Brünnhilde made such a decision-

Why?

This is undoubtedly the way to go, and it should be clearer than anyone else.

But why do you think like a "human" and then act emotionally?

"Really, you're just a cold machine, don't act like a human at this kind of thing......

- useless things; What will become a burden should be discarded without hesitation.

Shouldn't that be the case?

"No, I haven't forgotten. It's just that you're still alive, and you can't be called a burden if you're so far away. ”

"That's my opinion."

Isn't it a burden to be alive? Is it?

So that's what it was thinking?

Indeed, this is an indisputable fact......

However, at this moment, his life seems to be like a candle in the wind, and he may abandon this already torn shell at any time.

"It's really ......"

At least that's what Wayne can understand......

Gradually, the cockpit became more and more stuffy, and it was as if someone had taken it for granted that my neck was tightly choked.

Beads of sweat the size of beans were like pouring rain, and in a short time, they stained all corners of the body!

And, as the oxygen supply became less and less, the only remaining trace of consciousness seemed to be a dead branch and a leaf.

To put it more bluntly...... Wayne couldn't even feel his heartbeat and pulse now.

At this moment, her eyes were blurred, and her expression was sometimes twitching; Sometimes painful.

It was as if he was trying his best to endure the never-ending destruction and ravage of his body by something that didn't exist!

But even so, she gritted her teeth and persevered throughout.

But how long can such a steely will last?

To be honest, I don't know.

A minute or two? Or an hour or two?

Will such efforts finally be rewarded as they deserve?

Or will such a lingering effort eventually be mercilessly shattered by the cruel reality?

Of course, on this issue anyone would like the former.

Naturally, Vane himself sincerely expects this......

However, it is really hard to say whether it can be achieved or not.

- an increasingly blurred consciousness; Getting weaker and weaker.

Hands and feet that feel more and more weak......

In an instant, there is no doubt that they can't wait to deny this "dusty" wish.

And sincerely look forward to the death of this man named Vane Lavria—

Who? Who the hell is expecting this?

I don't know......

Maybe you will be scolded for not understanding the amorous feelings, right?

However, the reality in front of us is so "incomprehensible".

And no one can deny it!

With the passage of time, the sensations in the hands and feet have become numb; My ears are no longer audible......

The skin, which had been smooth and soft, turned black and dry at this moment, as if the meat on it had been burned dry......

It is conceivable that if this environment continues, the physical condition will definitely become worse than it is now; Worse off!

"Looks like this is the end of it?"

At this moment, the voice from the heart seems to be fueling the fire.

gloating urging her to give up this seemingly pointless dying struggle-

"Are you a complete fool? If you give up, you'll get a lot of money, right? ”

“......”

"A lot of money?" Vane and in a trance asked someone who didn't exist in front of him—

But that's just another self.

"That's right, now as long as you let go of this life-saving straw that you are desperately holding in your hand, there is no doubt that you will be able to get eternal relief, right?"

"Well, that's a lot of money, isn't it?"

"That means I'm going to die now?"

- But now, can you really say give up and give up?

Indeed, if you can die like this, you may really be liberated......

But now my brain is desperately rejecting this option.

That's like saying—

"Even if it's a dying struggle; As long as you have a chance to live, don't accept death easily! ”

"Do you hear that? Maste

?! ”

It was a long time before Vane realized that it was Brunhilde.

"You're just a machine, do you dare to order me?"

She squeezed out a wry smile desperately.

However, it seems that it simply makes the facial muscles tremble more frequently.

At the end of the day, that kind of thing doesn't even count as a smile.

However, thanks to these words, Vane opened his eyes again, which had been completely consumed by the darkness......

"The rescue signal has been answered, please hold on a little longer!"

"Hmmm......"

But in those eyes that seemed to reflect the night sky, they could no longer catch even the slightest light.

"Brunhilde, is it already night?"

- Oh no, are even hallucinations already faintly starting to appear?

"Yes, so don't worry about anything. I will definitely do my best to protect you. Maste

。 ”

"Thank you."

Then, it learned that fact.

But because I'm not a human being, I'm just a machine......

So you can't feel the so-called "sadness" at this moment.

This feeling does not belong; It doesn't have its own database.

In this case, what should I say at this time?

After that, in order to prevent Vane from waking up again

—that is, the appearance of comatose symptoms, Brunhilde spoke to Vane the whole time, without pausing for a moment.

Because, better than anyone, she knew that doing so could increase her chances of survival.

However, there was no noticeable effect throughout.

Once again, however, it rightfully violated its own principles......

All along, he has been doing this seemingly futile thing on his own.

Why?

Maybe it's just a sincere hope that she will be saved?

But even if its choice and judgment are not wrong......

At this moment, Vane had already unknowingly fallen into an abyss like a bottomless pit, and it was impossible to hear her words again.

- "If I weren't a machine...... If I were a flesh-and-blood human......"

"Does it have the power to change everything that's happening right in front of you?"

Such an assumption is just wishful thinking, and it is impossible to realize it!

This is simply not possible.

And what I can do now is at best to witness all this as a helpless "bystander".

That's right, neither can meddle in trying to change the final outcome; There is also no way to stop it from happening.

Because he's just a cold machine. You don't have the qualifications to do that, do you?

But, but na...... There can still be one or two wishes, right?

"But, Maste

, if you can...... I hope you live—"

As soon as the words fell, the real darkness finally descended like a god of death!

At the same time, the body named "Brunhilde" fell into silence for an unknown amount of time before it awakened again.

Although this is just the "mimetic personality" that stops working.

At this moment, there is only boundless silence here.

However, it does not mean that hope is shattered -

Loki: They're coming, too!

Yes, you will be saved!

Their efforts, though they may seem like a futile death throes, have indeed paid off.

"Move fast!"

"Got it, don't be so loud, okay?"

"Well, relax—"

Roaring and saying this, you don't have to ask to know it's Loki.

He is always calm, calm, and even a little indifferent......

At this moment, he is the most anxious one.

"Really! You're too messy, aren't you? ”

Seeing him rampage with no regard for the obstacles in front of him, Klaus couldn't bear it anymore.

"Shut up, every second counts at this moment, you know?"

“......”

"I'm really convinced."

"The recognition signal is gradually weakening, everyone hurry up!"

"Yes!"

However, at this time......

But the "beast" appeared as if it was a good time!

Just in front of you as if you were one step away......!

You can tell it's waiting!

However......

Before that, the radar for the search did not react at all!

"Where the hell did it come from? Why can't I detect any reaction......? ”

"There are three?!"

"Really...... fake?"

However, there is no time left to waste now—

"That kind of thing, it's ...... so far!"

Loki rushed over without saying a word!

"That fool, are you going to rush straight ahead?!"

At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded......

"Hey, Loki!"

Seeing this, Klaus was anxious-

Of course, the three beasts also noticed Loki, who was desperately rushing at this moment!

Unhurriedly, he put on a posture to face the battle!

"Is that ......?! Oh no, that's ......! ”

"The enemy has the ability to attack from a distance!"

"What did you say?!"

Suddenly, this information was like a slap in the face, as if it knocked Klaus unconscious.

didn't have time to think about it, and in the blink of an eye, I saw him give a decisive order without thinking-

"All people, disperse! Otherwise, you will become cannon fodder! ”

The moment the words fell, the moment it was confirmed that the rest of the people had avoided the shelling track......

He himself rushed forward without hesitation!

"What are you thinking, Mistress Klaus!?"

However, this is not his reckless behavior, after all, Klaus has no choice, he must save Loki, who is hot-headed at this moment.

For this, someone must act as a "bait"

And I am undoubtedly the most suitable person.

"Leave me alone, just keep going!"

After all, at this juncture, there can't be, and absolutely can't tolerate any more casualties!

Besides, the so-called "Templars" were originally responsible for this.

So there's nothing to look ahead to. After all, we are machines made to fight.

Needless to say, the result of this was, of course, being dragged into that explosion that seemed like an ocean in the blink of an eye!

However, Klaus didn't rush head-on without doing anything-

I saw that at the moment when he was swallowed by the sea of fire, he used the body's own plasma fuel to form a transparent barrier around the body like gurgling water......

"Tsk!"

Thus isolating the menacing flames to a certain extent.

But, having said that, this isn't an absolute, comprehensive defense, at least there are countless parts of the body that have been burned. It left a shocking scorch mark......

But that didn't stop him from moving regularly, so he didn't hesitate to rush to Loki's side—

Then, without saying a word, he knocked him out of the raging sea of fire, who still didn't understand the situation!

"Count me on you, don't make trouble at a critical moment!"

In the blink of an eye, Loki was speechless, because Klaus was telling the truth, and he couldn't refute it.

"I'm sorry."

As soon as the words fell, he was pounced on by the enemy in front of him!

The moment he fell to the ground, he realized that this was a punishment, a hero for him; Showy punishment!

And at this moment, he could only use his hand to break that guy's bloody mouth with all his might......

Try not to let the sharp teeth that make your back chill bite you!

But that's all that can be done!

That's right, just to maintain the status quo, you have to do everything you can!

I really don't have the energy to care about when the remaining two will be; When to launch a fatal blow for yourself!

“......”

However, he seems to be so focused on "himself" that he has forgotten that he has companions at this moment; There are comrades-in-arms!

"It's rude to forget me—"

As soon as the words fell, what broke into Loki's field of vision was a rain of bullets from all directions!

In just a few moments, he blasted the enemy who imprisoned his movement to pieces!

"Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry for your trouble. Sorry......"

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

After all, Loki's sullen personality has been so bad that people who know him don't want to talk about it anymore......

And—

At the end of the day, no one can take all the blame alone.

If there is a guy who is obsessed with this and tries to do it, then there is no doubt that that person will end up with nothing......

In short, a complete failure.

Not to mention facing these beings who are more "savage" than humans.

Don't forget, they are a swarm that will not hesitate to feed on humans!

"You, more or less change that awkward character, right?"

“......”

And just after the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Loki began to act-

Because, there are still fish that have slipped through the net around here......

It's just that his movements are unbelievably fast!

In a nutshell......

The moment Klaus's gaze caught it, he had already completed a crisp and neat decapitation!

All that left was his hateful gaze and the unflinching action of his weapons.

It's so fast, it's worthy of ......

"It's the third Templar seat......"

It's just that this merciless fighting style of his enemies doesn't resonate with most people.

Instead...... Many people think that Loki's fighting style is too ruthless.

After all, as long as from the moment he judges him as an "enemy", he will definitely be killed without hesitation!

He's such a person.

Therefore, I also hate indecisive people very much......

It is precisely because of this that it is shunned.

As for being excluded as a result; It's not unbelievable to be deliberately targeted, right?

As for why he later quit the Templar Order, even though Alan himself, as the head of the Order, couldn't shake or convince him......

None of this anyone knows. And he didn't want to hear anyone talk about it again.

"That's why I think it was a complete mistake for this guy to quit us!"

"There is no regression at all......

After witnessing Loki's fighting style, Klaus couldn't help but have such thoughts again.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Loki, who returned to him in an instant, asked casually.

By the way, it also pulled his thoughts that seemed to drift farther and farther back to reality.

I said, Loki...... Do you really stop thinking about that thing? After all, if you can come back, we'll be too—"

"Impossible, right? That kind of thing, if it changes to you...... Would you do that? ”

"You're still struggling with this......"

"Or else? I'm not as big as you think. ”

"Good horses don't eat back grass! Besides, the third seat has already been replaced, right?

"What if I do choose to go back at this time?"

"But even if the third seat is not yours now, what does it mean?"

"Not to mention that Stella, who is currently in the third seat, was cultivated by you"

"Stella? That guy became the third seat? ”

"Yes, in his words, following in the footsteps of the master—"

"It's important to find Her Royal Highness the princess now, and I'll talk about this later......"

Klaus smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Divert the topic again......"

Isn't this a clear indication that there are still things that can't be put down?

"That guy's words, even until now, will clean your room every day......"

And she seems to think that the reason why you quit is entirely her own fault...... She thinks she's forced you away. ”

As soon as Klaus's words fell, I saw Loki inadvertently hide his face-

"Really?"

"What's the matter with your ambiguous answer?"

And yet—

His next words seemed to be deliberately evading the question.

"Let's go, Her Royal Highness is still waiting for us, no matter what, this must be the first priority now. Do you understand? ”

"Don't run away!"

Eventually, Klaus shouted at his back.

I don't think that guy is difficult to understand once or twice, so I have already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.

"Hmm. I know—"

"No, you don't know!"

That's right, you now. I don't know anything about us now!

However, after all, it has been rejected once, and it would be too uninteresting if it was a stalker.

But one day I'll find a chance to talk to Loki about it.

If you can, call everyone together......

Even if it's one of the few friends of that guy.

"I can already see where the signal is going!"

Klaus and Loki, who heard such a report, did not intend to hide their inner excitement at all!

"Really?"

"Are you sure?" However, even so, they did not lose their due care.

"Yes, pretty sure!"

"There will be no mistake this time, Her Royal Highness the princess is really alive, even if it is very weak, but the vital signs can still be detected!"

After listening to the narration, everyone's worries couldn't help but let go, and they couldn't help but smile!

"Then without further ado, hurry up and determine the specific location. Then find a way to rescue! ”

In the face of the natural order, all the members did not hesitate, so they immediately knew the specific location -

"Southwest...... It's right under that pile of rocks! ”

As soon as the words fell, the first one to rush out was undoubtedly Loki-

Because he understands better than anyone what happens when a person is buried alive under so many rocks.

So there's no doubt that this is the time to race against the clock—

"Thank you for holding on to this point, and I'm sorry...... We're late. ”

These are the words that unconsciously leaked out of his mouth.

At this moment, what kind of mood does Loki have? Perhaps only he could know this, right?

"Even if it's a moment earlier, get these stones out of the way!"

"Hurry up!"

Klaus, however, felt deeply helpless about his guilt and sense of responsibility, which was obviously excessive.

But this kind of "over-inflated" sense of responsibility comes with that guy in his mother's womb.

There's no way around it, right? Could this be the reason why he insisted on quitting the Templar Order?

Then, for some reason, what interrupted his inexplicable thoughts was the right half of Brunhilde's massive body that was finally struggling to bare Brunhilde's body after the rocks were moved away with all his might, piece by piece...... It's just the right arm.

However, when they finally saw the wheelhouse, which had been completely twisted and deformed, and then shattered by the weight......

Everyone couldn't help but gasp!

The heart that had just been relieved couldn't help but mention the throat again!

"Alive, don't worry!"
