Chapter Seventy-Four: Two Requests

"Hmm......" Xiuer's hand holding the memory chip did not tremble at all, and even the expression on his face did not change, as if he hadn't heard Wei's reminder at all, and he looked at the crystal intently at the light, and even his teammates who were familiar with him only instinctively felt that something was slightly wrong with him, and only he knew that at this time, a huge wave was set off in his heart, so that he couldn't maintain his posture, and had to use these irrelevant actions to hide his emotions.

Shure didn't doubt Wei's judgment, not at all, partly because he believed in Wei's abilities, and partly, because he remembered what had happened outside the ruined city.

At that time, Shul was puzzled by the damage to the ground and the growth of plants under the road, but both Mobuck and Moria gave reasonable explanations, which had a chance of normal occurrence, and later made a comprehensive analysis of the damage to the buildings inside the ruined city, and determined that the time of the city's abandonment and human history could corroborate each other, which temporarily dispelled Shure's doubts.

However, Wei's judgment resurfaced the doubts that had been about to fade away, and once again filled Shure's brain, if you add fifty years to the historical record after the mechanical apocalypse, it seems that it can just match the surface of the abandoned city and the distribution of plants, the question is, what about people, in this way, the problem of people cannot be explained, unless all living things cooperate to play a farce.

Shuer turned his head to look at Delia's immature face, heh, more than fifty years, just kidding, reach over and pinch his face, this will never be fake, and Shuer asked himself if his eyes are not blind, he can distinguish the truth of his feelings and words, the little guy's attachment to himself and his thoughts about his parents are by no means fake, and his determination to become a hero and save the world is not a lie, and the simplicity and kindness hidden in his cunning eyes are absolutely real, such a child cannot cooperate so tacitly to perform this farce.

Why is that?, Shul's brain was thinking like lightning, but he still maintained a faint smile on the surface, and pinched the little girl's face again.

"Hey, your face is going to be swollen, uncle, you hate it. The little guy pouted and knocked off Shuer's troublesome hand, looked at him expectantly and said, "Uncle, can you show me Mom's chip?"

"No, because the uncle who was scolded and hated was sad. Using a joke to hide the turmoil in his heart, Shuer casually put the chip in Delia's hand, touched her hair and said, "They said that the thing will be returned to the original owner, of course it will be exchanged for you, this is the relic of your parents." Oh, it's really funny, no wonder you dreamed of becoming a hero at such a young age, although you said that you can't forgive the pair of parents who left you alone, but the actual action is to repeat their path, desperately want to go deep into the dangerous place with us, it turns out that there is a family tradition. ”

The little guy wrinkled his nose and snorted, snatched the chip and held it in his hand, the chip was wrapped in a strange transparent bag, not to worry about being polluted by the sweat on his hands.

"Is this Mom and Dad?" Delia said like a dream, staring at the chip in a daze, "I'm not dreaming, I really have to see them again." Woo, they really...... Can't wake up?"

"Unfortunately, it's true. Maximan removed the visual collector and whispered, "Heroes who give everything for the future of civilization should not die like this, and we are not willing to accept this ending." So, we spent a whole year concentrating all our computing power on trying to fix the two chips, but unfortunately, we failed, and the Supreme Mastermind sealed all the research data of the chips, and we had no way to do anything about it, and we had to give up in the end. I'm sorry, Delia, and I apologize to you on behalf of all the automata. Not to apologize for causing them to die, but because we gave up trying to save them, and although the Centers knew that it was the best option, and we couldn't put too much effort into such a doomed thing, the Centers felt guilty that we had given up on the two heroes. ”

"Uncle......" Delia looked up and looked at Shul pleadingly, "Is what he said true?"

"Huh?"

"I'm just a kid who hasn't seen the world, and the world of adults is too complicated for me, and I really don't understand whether what he's saying is true or not. Delia said with red eyes, "I wish he was lying, but it sounds like it's true." ”

"Heh......" Shure understood that the little one's heart was struggling, and the reason why she had always wanted to climb the Tower of Babel and wanted to avenge her parents was at least half of the reason. But if Maximi's words are true, it means that these are her parents' own choices, and the two sides did not even clash until the end, so the reason for revenge is a bit untenable. Although the little guy is young, he is not an unreasonable child, at this moment, she really can't blame the cause of her parents' death on the machine, so she can only hope that Maximan is lying to her, so that she can feel better, otherwise, the hatred of many years will collapse in an instant, and this feeling of dazed and lost is still too cruel for her.

It's a pity that Shure is at least ninety percent sure that Maximilian is telling the truth, not only because Shul trusts his own judgment, but also because Wei has confirmed it when he was directly connected before, and the standard of Maximi's action this time is not to conceal it, and to persuade the shadow chasers with sincerity and honesty to help the mechanical camp, so it is unlikely that Maximilian lied on this issue.

"What answer do you want me to give you?" Shul picked up Delia and put it on his lap, "You already have the answer in mind, don't you?"

The girl bit her lip tightly and didn't want to say a word.

Shul patted Delia's arm, and did not force her to answer, but hugged Delia wordlessly and comforted her, calming her body trembling with physical contact.

"So, what are you going to do?" Feeling that the body of the girl in his arms was no longer trembling so violently, Shul looked at Maximan with a smile and asked, " I know your purpose, to explain the cause of death of the two heroes, is to dissolve the hatred in Delia's heart, to fundamentally solve the basis of the opposition between us outsiders and your mechanical body, so that we can have the possibility of cooperation, and the return of the hero's relics is to further affect the little guy's heart, so that she instinctively has a good impression of you, heh, seriously, compared to the humans in the Floating City who sent them out as sacrifices and did not even dare to let them see the light when they died, you enemies who respect them and value them, try to save them, and solemnly keep their relics after failure, and finally take the initiative to return them to their descendants, it seems to win the favor of the little guy even more. ”

"Your logistic analysis system is very strong, each step has a clear purpose, and the most appropriate methods are used, so the results are remarkable. I'll admit that my attitude towards you has changed significantly from when I first arrived, and we don't even mind giving you some help in return as long as our requests are met, and we don't give anything in return to the humans in the Floating City. So, you've been very successful in your efforts for the past few hours, so I'm wondering now, what are you going to do?"

"Obey the will of the High Mastermind, and carry out the orders of the High Mastermind while ensuring that the Tower of the High is not threatened. Massiman said expressionlessly, "That's what we're going to do." ”

"Really, if you continue to talk this nonsense, you're insulting each other's intelligence and destroying the good trust we built up before. Shur sneered and said, "Yes, you are machines, you worship the Supreme Mastermind, you are believers and priests, but that doesn't mean you don't have your own plans. Hehe, it just so happens that I am a professional priest, and I have seen hundreds of high-ranking priests, all of them are the same, on the basis of obeying the will of the Lord, they have their own plans, I think even if you are a mechanical body. ”

"I'm not going to waste too much time, after all, we have more important things to do, so I ask the Supreme Mastermind to join the meeting directly, so that we can talk to him directly. So, you'd better explain your private intentions in advance, and if we can do that, then start the conversation as soon as possible, and if we can't do it, then we'll find another way. ”

"You ...... Is it already confirmed?" Maximillan looked at Delia, "Is it really okay?"

"Well, whatever the outcome of her adjustment of mentality, I can be sure that at least she will not look at you with hatred, and it is not ruled out that she still wants to go to the top, as her parents insisted, but that's another story. Shul shrugged and said, "So, you don't need to worry about this anymore, everyone can just say it if you have something to say." ”

"Well, I'll admit, we do have our own plans. Maximi said in a low voice, "The Centers want you to help us make a little request when we negotiate with the High Mastermind, we have also tried to apply before, but they have all been rejected, that is not a matter of principle, and I don't know why it was rejected by the High Mastermind, but the Center believes that if you put it forward, the success rate will be much higher." ”

"Heh, sure enough, everyone has their own plans. Shuer nodded with a smile, "Tell me what the requirements are, and I can decide whether to make a commitment or not." ”

"On the one hand, I want to ask the Supreme Mastermind to let go of some of the technical blockades, including memory chips, we know that the Supreme Mastermind has its own judgment standards, but now the development of technology has reached a bottleneck period, and if we let go of some technical blockades, we can successfully break through the bottleneck period. Maximan hesitated for a moment and added, "On the other hand, it is hoped that the Supreme Mastermind can lift the migration ban and lift the flight restrictions." The Supreme Mastermind stipulates that all mechanical bodies are strictly limited by the scope of the Supreme Tower, and are never allowed to leave the coverage of the Supreme Tower, which has a great impact on our resources for developing the Brown Star. As for the flight restrictions, the centers actually don't understand why the Supreme Mastermind wants to limit the maximum altitude of the aircraft, but the Supreme Mastermind's orders must be followed, so no one will violate them. However, if the ban is lifted, the centers will find it more convenient. ”

"That's all?"

"You may not be able to understand it, but these two requests are quite important to us machines. Maximilian nodded, "If you are willing to help us, then we will do our best to accommodate your requests except for letting you into the top floor." ”
