[Timer: -75.02.54]

"So, that's true?"

Killiman stared at the high-level technician in front of him, who nodded awkwardly.

"Yes, sir, I did as you commanded, and I monitored the network of the Bearers, and the results ......... It's a pity. ”

"They're uploading some kind of code to the Cowes network......... Can you figure out what that code is for? ”

"I'm afraid I can't help it in the short term, and ......... The ......... of those codes"

The high-level technician hesitated.

"The code has strange properties, we've controlled it as much as we can, but it seems to be able to penetrate our defenses, and the Mechanicus is a little worried. But so far, none of this has had an impact, maybe it's just some kind of code that is unique to the Whisperer? But I hope they can let us know beforehand. ”

Hearing the report from the high-ranking technician, Kiriman fell silent. Although he did not fully believe Duanmu Huai's warnings, Killiman had always been on guard. Therefore, he monitored the ports on which the Whisperers connected to the Kaweos network under the pretext of "focusing on the communication lines of the Bearers to avoid failures during this large-scale military exercise".

This is actually quite normal, after all, such a large-scale military movement will inevitably bring incalculable data traffic, and in this case, it is not surprising that the communication lines of the two armies should be coordinated to avoid problems. So the high-level technician did as Killiman instructed.

"According to the Inquisitor, these ......... Cyber demons are hard to get rid of, so personally, I can lure those viruses to some relatively safe data space, block and remove them, and deflect the information transmission data network channel so that all the code uploaded by the Whisperers is transferred to the designated location. ”

"Order the Fourteenth Company to proceed to the outskirts of the Whisperer's garrison and await further orders from me."

"I'm sorry, but in my personal opinion, I don't think this mortal girl can have any effect on Couss's network failure, and we can't ......... that massive amount of data even with the full support of the Cult of the Mechanics."

"Just let her use that."

Although the senior technician didn't think that a mortal girl could handle this level of trouble, after all, even a mechanic of the Mechanic God Cult would have a hard time solving the problem in such a situation. But since Kiliman gave the order, he had only to carry it out.

"Then Miss Lumielle."

"I've found it."

“……… What kind of trick is this? ”

“？？？”

Lumière's answer was also cautious.

Killiman looked at the girl, then at the senior technician, who looked at the girl curiously.

Then, she spoke.

Seeing this scene, the senior technician shook his head inwardly, this primitive input method can only be used to read and search for information, and the real servo technician should synchronize his thinking with the network, and then ............... How is this possible!?

However, the next moment, the senior technician's eyes widened in surprise, and through the center of the mind network, he saw a scene that he couldn't imagine at all!

The girl's hands began to glow, and then bands of light emerged from her fingertips and penetrated deep into the terminal. Then, the senior technician saw an unimaginable scene————— and the intertwined messages and codes in the mind space were all subjugated to the girl's light at this moment, and they were completely subordinated to the girl's will as if they had met the king's courtiers.

Eight times eight times eight times eight to the eighth power...............

"I can try, but I can't say I'm sure."

Walking back to the command room, noticing the surprised expressions of the others, Killiman realized that the blood on his face had not been wiped off.

"For now? Sorry, the Mechanics doesn't see this as a priority, only as a data redundancy due to massive military transfers. And......... We seem to lack the means to counter it. ”

Kiriman looked at the senior technician in surprise, but at the same time, Lumiel began to act.

"Just one word???

"Yes."

Unfortunately, he may have been right.

Killiman turned his head to look at Lumiel, who shook his head as well.

Soon, the group arrived at a warehouse on the Cowes space station, where the previously replaced Contemplative terminal was placed, and the senior technician stepped forward to connect his neural network first. After all, no matter what the girl was going to do, he had to monitor the other party's every move, which was the core of the entire military network, and although the senior technician didn't think that a mortal could react in this vast stream of data, he still calmly and did what he did.

As soon as Lumiel's scream appeared, the mechanical tentacles behind the senior technician suddenly shot out, and the laser blade flashed, directly cutting the cable of the contemplative terminal, but then, a stunned scene happened.

But now, the news he brought was not reassuring to Kiliman, after all, Duanmu Huai had warned him that the Bearer would use some means to paralyze Kauss's military network, for now...............

Kiriman took a deep breath, and a thick smell of blood came from him, making him a little uncomfortable. But this also reminded him once again that what happened in front of him just now was not an illusion.

But......... It seems that Loga doesn't think so.

Killiman never wanted to think about it, he still thought that all this was just a misunderstanding, maybe Loga himself didn't know all this, it was all his subordinates arbitrarily doing it. But Kiliman's intellect told him that it didn't make sense, that he was the lord of the five hundred worlds anyway, and that he had to take responsibility for the worlds under his rule.

Sacred numbers.

"You're saying you can fix this?"

However, just as Lumiel shifted the last word over, suddenly, her expression changed slightly. At this moment, Lumiel felt that when the eight words uploaded from the Whisperer's base appeared in a data space at the same time, they suddenly began to multiply like a virus, expanding at a completely unimaginable rate.........

"That's not an ordinary word........."

They corrode, they infect, they are indelible.

"Sorry, exactly."

Lumiel sank in her heart, and she recalled what Duanmu Huai had told her about the electronic demons——— not harmful codes, nor virus data, they were just eight words arranged in alphabetical combinations.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know the details, only the Inquisitor......... Maybe be able to explain it to you. ”

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

"I'm in the process of transferring data."

"I see."

"Found it?"

For now, at least, what happened to them was a sign that the Bearer had bad intentions.

Eight names.

But what about Kiliman?

He couldn't have fired the first shot, and even if Kiliman had given the order, the Ultramarines below wouldn't have agreed, they hadn't expected to turn their guns on their Astarte, an order that was definitely the most incomprehensible to them. Killiman understood this, and just like him, he never imagined that one day he would turn his weapon on Loga, his brother. Although Kiriman admits that he sometimes thinks Loga is a bit naïve and overzealous, he still considers the two to be brothers.

At the moment when the senior technician cut the cable, with a terrible scream, everyone saw that on the screen of the Contemplative Terminal, the characters that were originally shining with code and data suddenly began to distort, spin, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a monster with a whole pink body and a terrifying shape, its eyes widened, and it stared at Killiman and the others viciously——— and then the next moment, it suddenly burst out of the screen and pounced on Rumiel!

“———————！”

"I remember there were replacement contemplatives, right?"

"Sorry to interrupt the two of you."

"So, you can't do it in a short time, can you?"

The data, the data, and the code are not passively searched and read, but are actively transferred in the girl's will. The vast flow of data was like a stream in the girl's hands, easily swinging, mastering, and directing by her.

"What kind of trick is this?"

"No problem."

There was a dead silence in the room, and even Rumiel was stunned, although she did hear something about the electronic demon from Duanmu Huai, but it was too unexpected for her.

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"For the time being, but the other side's strength is clearly beyond expectations, and perhaps we should cut off their communication lines completely."

"Sir, she's ..............."

Malicious premise.

"What's wrong? What happened? What did she do? ”

"Can the Cult of the Machines handle this?"

"Uh-huh..............."

"I can give it a try if you allow it."

At this, Killiman paused.

Hearing Lumiel's answer, Kiliman frowned.

"As you've heard, do you think it's okay?"

It's reality.

Kiriman didn't know what was going on, but he subconsciously stepped forward, drew the sword at his waist and slashed at the monster. The blade sliced the monster in two, and the monster swelled suddenly, exploding into a pool of blood and spraying it on the walls around it.

Killiman looked up at the senior technician.

Naturally, Killiman also noticed the expression of the senior technician, and hurriedly asked, but the latter was ecstatic.

Lumiel opened his mouth to explain again, and the senior technician next to him also nodded, at this moment he had no intention of guiding and monitoring at all, more like admiring a work of art, watching the torrent of data under the girl's hands gently like weaving, weaving, forming a flawless mechanical network.

What's the use of that?

Then, the senior technician saw the girl, who looked to be only a little over ten years old, reach out and put it on the terminal.

"God of Machines, sir, you can't imagine what I've seen! This is a miracle! This is a miracle of the God of Machines! Praise be to the God of Machines! Praise be to Omni Saiah! She is the embodiment of the God of All Machines! ”

"Yes, it's not scrap code, it's not some kind of virus program, it's a word."

"So may I ask you if you have any plans?"

"So, has the threat been lifted?"

Once these eight names have been thoroughly entered, they will begin to absorb the thinking of the electronic network and show their true colors.

"What do you need?"

"I see."

"Yes, sir."

The name of Yae.

"Of course, if you refuse my assistance for reasons of information and data security, the trial court can understand it."

Killiman didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look at the girl.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor has instructed that if you have problems with your network data, then I can provide a certain level of technical support on behalf of the Inquisition."

"Immediately cut off the communication lines at the Whisperer base, and say that there is a fault within our network, and we are currently undergoing extensive maintenance work. And ..............."

Killiman looked at his blood-stained blade, he couldn't believe what he had just seen, a monster emerged from the contemplative's screen and attacked them, although his rational mind wanted to think that it was just an illusion, it was just an illusion, but the blood sprayed around him and the touch that had just come from the blade clearly denied this. He could even smell the monster's scent, the pitch-black nightmare, the eternal stench of subspace.

"Huh?"

The senior technician shook his head, and the mechanical tentacles behind him danced slightly.

"I need a terminal."

"You mean, one word, creates redundancy in the entire network of minds?"

"I'm not sure."

Killiman thought for a moment and nodded.

Kiliman nodded, then looked at the senior technician.

“………………………”

At this moment, suddenly a soft voice came, and Killiman turned his head to look, only to see a girl standing up and coming to Killman's side.

"Cut the physical connection, quick!"

What kind of power is this?

The senior technician stared at the unbelievable scene in front of him with his prosthetic eyes wide.

"Sir? What happened? ”

"Something happened."

Killiman frowned and shook his head at the question of his subordinates, and then he asked.

"Is there any news of the First Company and the Bell Tower?"
