When the elevator door opened, it was not the group of pilgrims who saw an empty rotunda, surrounded by dozens of metal doors, and a completely transparent glass window on the side of the door, so that everything inside could be clearly seen.

Walk to the window and look in, the room inside is not big, there are no other furnishings, only a small bathroom, the rest is in the middle of the room is placed in a fully enclosed cabin called the medical cabin, through the transparent lid of the medical cabin, you can see the pilgrim lying flat inside, motionless, as if asleep, the reassuring green light at the top of the medical cabin flashes regularly, obviously, the work inside is normal.

"This is the first step in the reincarnation ritual, not to treat physical ailments, but through the hypnotic effect of the cabin, to put them into a deep sleep state, which does not take long, but in a few minutes, and after waking up from the deep sleep state, their spirit can be restored to its best state. ”

"Tsk, it seems that in order to successfully complete the reincarnation ceremony, the requirements for mental state are really high. Shuer nodded thoughtfully, "You've been adjusting their mental state since the beginning, and this must be the most basic requirement. ”

"Well, that's right. Only when the mental state is stable can the success rate of the reincarnation ritual be maximized, and if it is unstable, the failure rate will increase exponentially. We are not butchers, let alone murderers, we also hope to transform as many of the same kind as possible, so we will do our best to increase the success rate of reincarnation. ”

"You really take it seriously. Shure looked around, and after going up to the ninth floor, the environment and the floors below had changed significantly.

The number of mechanical beasts on it is very small, except for some small maintenance automata, there are almost no mechanical beasts, walking around the hall, basically all of them are humanoid machines, looking male and female, and their appearances are also different, the only thing that is the same is that these mechanical bodies are busy for the pilgrims, some are constantly operating in front of the central console of the hall, and more are standing in front of the windows of each room, quickly entering the readings of the medical cabin into the handheld device. These mechanical bodies were extremely focused, and they didn't even react to the entry of human creatures like Shuer, and the vision collector never left the medical cabin, which showed that this was also a very important thing for them.

"Of course, every time a human pilgrimage comes, we make a gesture of not caring on the surface, but in private we are quite excited, hehe, every time at this time, everyone is like a festival, and all kinds of preparations are made for the appearance of new members. Now you can't see it, but after an hour, when the reincarnation ceremony is almost underway, you will find out that everyone's preparation is quite adequate. ”

"Di Di Di", a crisp prompt sound came from outside the medical cabin of a certain room, and a female metal humanoid recorded outside the room actually cheered humanely, ran to the center console in the center of the hall and said loudly, "The pilgrim in charge of me has been adjusted and is ready to move on to the next step." ”

The subject of her report did not respond, and pointed in the direction of Maximi, and the metal figure realized the existence of Maximan, and was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, ran over quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of Maximan, and said respectfully: "Great execution center, our mission is going well." ”

"Well, I've heard you, good job, keep working, all for the sake of the Supreme Mastermind. ”

"For the Mastermind of the Supreme. The female figure seemed to be agitated by Maximi's reply, and even raised her voice a lot.

"A few people, you can take a closer look, rest assured, since a few of you have already made a commitment, then we don't mind. Maximilian turned around and found the strange expressions on the faces of several people, and asked puzzledly, "What, is there any problem?"

"This kid is a newcomer. Shure raised his chin at the female figure, "It's an interesting performance, heh, I didn't expect that no matter what world, no matter what race, some expressions are common." ”

"Well, it's a newcomer, when he first joined us on the last pilgrimage, when he was still a human, he was a very energetic child, and since joining us, he has been so energetic. ”

"Mind if I talk to her?"

"Of course I don't mind, we keep secrets between individuals, so it's not uncommon to talk in private. Maximillan said nonchalantly, "Then I'll avoid it for a while." ”

"It's just a casual conversation, and there's no need to shy away. Shul stopped the execution center that wanted to leave, and waved his hand to signal the female figure to come over, and the female figure hesitated for a moment before seeing Massimilian nod in agreement before coming over. Although the humanoid Lian had a metallic stiffness, the sensitive Shure could see obvious curiosity from her, obviously interested in these ordinary humans walking around the Tower of Babel, "Don't be nervous, okay, you're not nervous at all, but don't get excited, just ask a few questions, pay attention, I asked you, not you, I'm not responsible for answering questions." ”

"Whew. The female figure was so disappointed that even the expression of curiosity faded a lot, and if it weren't for Maximan watching from the side, she might have turned around and left a long time ago.

"How long have you been a member of the Cult of the Machine?" Shure looked her up and down, "Given your young appearance, why did you decide to be reincarnated so quickly?"

"It's been fifty-seven years since I joined the Mechanic Cult, and this decision was not a quick one. The female figure replied in an old-fashioned manner, "After reincarnation, there is a chance to reshape the body, and of course it must be shaped according to the appearance of youth. ”

"Well, that's good. Shul turned his head and said to Massimilian with a blank face, "Can I dismantle her? ”

"No, no, that's not going to work. The serious executive center was also amused by the exchange between the two, and reprimanded the female figure without any sincerity, "These are the common guests of the central organization, so you should be cautious and don't talk nonsense." ”

"Woo, I see, execution center. The female figure was very reluctant to respond, "I have only been a member of the church for two years, and it is not too long. However, due to my strong request for the reincarnation ceremony, the central authority granted me a shortened period of time for my visit. ”

"Oh, why do you have to be reincarnated?"

"Because I think that's the right direction for evolution. The female figure said without hesitation, "I can think more rationally, and I am not limited by the fragile body, not only will I not get sick, but my body can be repaired quickly if it is damaged." Even if I die, I won't lose the memories of those years after being recovered, and in every way, the mechanical body is much better than the human body, so why should I waste my time on the human body. ”

"Well, it makes sense, but, strictly speaking, it's just one of the right evolutionary directions. Shuer seemed to want to ask something, but finally shook his head, "I see that the light inside is starting to flash again, you better deal with it quickly, don't miss anything." ”

"Bang dang dang", the female figure was not polite, and ran back quickly, throwing Shuer directly in place.

"Tsk, I think we still underestimate the humans in this world. ”

Several shadow chasers who appeared agreed with this view, originally everyone thought that in addition to the old man who was afraid of death, he would carry out the reincarnation ritual, that is, the weak person who escaped from reality, but the more he came into contact with the mechanical body, the more he felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, in addition to the above two, there were many people who had given up their human identity after careful consideration, these people had the ability and thought, no wonder no matter how hard the human side tried, they could not completely eradicate the existence of the Mechanic Sect.

Soon, the first pilgrim to leave the medical cabin appeared, and walked out of the small room wearing the black robes that had been prepared for a long time. If you look closely, you will see that the spirits of these pilgrims are slightly more trance than before, as if they have not woken up yet.

"This is preparation for the second step. "The second step is to further strengthen their determination to give up their bodies, so that they can maintain this state, and it is more convenient to strengthen them. ”

"It seems that determination is also a key thing. ”

"It's the most critical thing, and it has a direct impact on the outcome of rebirth. Maximan was silent for a while, and said regretfully, "The will to give up the body must be necessary in order to successfully complete the reincarnation ritual. Once you enter the process of rebirth, there is no way to change your mind, and the slightest hesitation in the process will seriously affect the possibility of successful rebirth, and if there is a thought of resistance, then rebirth will inevitably fail. ”

"So, my parents......" Delia spoke for the first time after entering the Tower of Babel, and she couldn't help but hear this, "Is it because of other thoughts that the transformation fails?"

"No, as I said earlier, their situation is very complicated. Maximan avoided talking about it, "Whoever completes the adjustment first will enter the next step first, are you interested in keeping up, after watching the whole process, it will be easier to explain." ”

"Of course, I can't ask for it. ”

Slowly and leisurely follow the first few pilgrims to complete the adjustment, through the door on one side of the hall, into another large space, which is also empty, without any furnishings, the most conspicuous is a mechanical seat every seven or eight meters. Each pilgrim is accompanied by a robotic humanoid who sits into a chair under the guidance of the humanoid, with a metal hood like a hat hanging down above their head, the edge of which hangs down to the front of their face, covering their eyes and nose.

"It's said to strengthen determination, but in fact, it's to keep showing them the good side after reincarnation, and through repetition many times, let them recognize their choice, heh, it's not a profound ......" As he was speaking, the door behind him opened again, and a metal figure ran in and approached Maximan's side to say something, Maximilian looked at the shadow chasers, shook his head and said, "Just say it, what's the problem?"

"Among the pilgrims, there are people who regret it. ”
