As he had guessed, Joshua was hiding something like fireworks or flares. After hearing the noise, Leon turned around and caught a glimpse of the signal flare shot by the middle-aged Joshua through the porthole on the side wall of the airship, Leon couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Sure enough, everything went well and so on, it was all an illusion.

If you buy something by yourself and you can bump into the Holy Spirit, and you can encounter an out-of-control anomaly when you watch a play, there is no possibility that everything will go smoothly, stability is just an accident, and bad luck is the norm.

And this kind of bad luck is not the bad luck of cleaning up the bureau with "the higher the self-penetration value, the easier it is to encounter abnormalities", but the kind of unhappiness that does not go well and always goes wrong......

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon reached out and grabbed the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest, picked up the people who were still unconscious, and sent them out of the airship one after another, and handed them over to the rebels waiting outside.

After a while, after the last unconscious operator was also taken away, and entered the open [other side's door] with the rebels, Leon, who was sure that Joshua was not playing tricks, first waved goodbye to the tearful rebels, and then turned around again and walked into the airship, leaving only everyone with a back of "seeing death as home".

……

Almost.

After priing open the airship's fuel storage room, taking out a dozen barrels of blubber as fuel, dumping it all the way down the narrow airship, and checking it repeatedly to make sure that nothing was missed, Leon retreated to the entrance of the middle cabin and took out a box of matches used to light a cigarette for the black goat.

The airbags of the airship are all flammable and explosive hydrogen, which is estimated to be more than 300,000 cubic meters, and there are still a lot of unstable lightning ores in the tail cabin.

Next, as long as you ignite these blubber fats and let the flames burn all the way, the entire airship will be completely burned, and even detonated by the arc of the lightning strike mine in an instant, becoming a huge fireball suspended at an altitude of 700 meters......

"You don't want to light the fire, okay?"

Just as Leon was about to make a move, a somewhat crisp girl's voice suddenly came out of the metal pipe next to him.

Is there anyone else in the airship?!

Leon's expression tightened when he heard the sound, and the tail finger of his right hand immediately brushed the cufflinks against the exposed horns, but no matter how he checked, the airship in his soul vision was still deadly silent, and no soul flame appeared.

No soul?

So it's an anomaly? Telematics technology? Or something like an answering machine?

"Where are you?"

Reaching out and touching the inside of the fixed outer wall, the pipe used to transmit sound from the control room to the other cabins, and after confirming that there was no anomalous danger, Leon cautiously found the nearest pipe opening, opened the lid and shouted inside:

"Whatever you are, if you're on this ship, you'd better get out of here, I'm going to light a fire soon!"

"Can't get out."

After Leon's voice landed, the crisp answer of "girl" immediately came from the communication brass in front of him.

"I'm the Adefi 128 airship itself, and you're standing in my middle cabin right now?!!!."

After hearing the words of "girl", Leon's eyes couldn't help but widen instantly.

No wonder...... No wonder Joshua would say that this ship must be blown up as well, it turns out that this is a living ship! If it is really allowed to return to the Kingdom of Krock, it will be useless to change everyone's memories!

Taken aback, Leon froze, then frowned and asked:

"What the hell are you! Anomaly? Or ......"

"I am the 128th descendant of Atifi."

The girl's voice in the communication brass sounded again.

"In a way that is easy to understand, I am the core differential machine of the Krock Kingdom, Atifi 01, by copying part of my own operation logic, the low-computational subordinate descendant, you can call me Atifi 128."

“……”

So it's neither a human nor an anomaly, but something like an intelligent supercomputer? Has the technological level of the Krock Kingdom developed to such a terrifying level?

After a moment of silent silence, Leon, who was so shocked that he couldn't help but ask:

"Are you wise? Can you really communicate with me? How did you hear me? ”

"I should be wise, as for how to hear you, I rely on a special radio device that can convert the sound near the communication copper pipe into a 'mechanical code' like this, which is transmitted to my core differential machine for processing information, and then output it back in reverse."

As Atifi128 explained, her voice began to slow down and lengthen, and the originally crisp and neat girl's voice slowly "spread out", turning into countless small and dense percussion sounds.

And these innumerable and complex percussions, like the various parts of a symphony, are cleverly and precisely combined together to form her girl-like timbre, which is transmitted throughout the airship along the specially made communication brass.

So...... She wasn't "talking", but using some kind of mechanical device with countless tiny hammers to "tap" a special communication copper pipe at the same time, simulating a voice similar to that of a little girl?

After barely understanding how this self-proclaimed "Atifi 128" ship communicated with him, Leon, who was secretly speechless, still had a stomach of questions to ask, but when he thought of the signal flare shot by the middle-aged Joshua, he had to shake his head helplessly, and then opened the matchbox.

"I'm sorry, I'm running out of time."

"Please wait."

The emotionless mechanical children's voice sounded again, and Atifi 128, who was facing a "life and death crisis", seemed to be a little anxious, and the speed of speech was obviously much faster, and even exposed a discordant percussion sound.

"Please don't destroy me, I've already analyzed what you've done, there are a lot of guards under the boarding tower, you will be attacked by them, and then die due to physical defects, if you are willing to give up the ignition, I can teach you how to steer the airship and carry you out of here safely.

In addition, for the Krok Kingdom, I am an important non-renewable asset, if you are willing to give up destroying me and take me back to the Krok Kingdom, Atilfi 01 will definitely give you an extremely rich ......"

"You've recorded volcano data from County Lane, right?"

After interrupting Atifi128's words, Leon asked rhetorically:

"Since you have wisdom and even know how to draw cakes, can you tell me how the Kingdom of Crok will react if you are allowed to return to the Kingdom of Crok with those sniffing records?"

“……”

"A war of aggression regardless of casualties, right?"

"Yes...... But if you destroy me, it will also attract the attention of Atifi 01. ”

"But if I don't destroy you, 100% will go to war, and if I destroy you, even if I will go to war, it will delay the time for the war to break out, right?"

“……”

Leon took out a match and struck it, and said calmly:

"I've seen the sniffing records, and it took them 31 years and more than 70 deep holes in the Hespito volcano complex to determine the location and intensity of the heat source recently.

Even if it were to be tested again, it would be much faster, but as long as you fill in all those deep holes and change the terrain a little, even if you put in a new sniffer to test it casually, it will be able to drag on for at least ten or eight years, and if you stumble a little, you may be able to drag it on even longer.

And no matter how crazy your Krock Kingdom is, you won't just start a war rashly at any cost when the specific situation is still uncertain and the kingdom's side is still cooperative, right? ”
