Chapter 1167 "Flowers, Thousands of Trees, Stars Like Rain" (2 in 1 ask for a monthly ticket)
The street was drizzling and pattering.
Pedestrians held dark umbrellas.
From a height, the dark umbrellas form a grid, regular and indifferent.
Irin entered an empty alley.
From here to there.
The drizzle fell on him, like a layer of invisible curtain, which was isolated, and a hazy thin light burst out.
Step by step, walking forward in the rain, behind "Rod" dragged out a light belt composed of small numbers "1" and "0". The light belt formed a "white windbreaker" style on Rod's body like a whirlwind. The crowd looked so dazzling.
"Rod" smiled slightly, and with his right hand in the void, a wooden mask was created out of thin air and put on his face.
There is a strange symbol on the forehead of the mask. At first glance, it looks like an "L" character. When you look closely, it looks like a "1" character, standing crookedly.
Irin made an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.
White clothes, umbrella, drizzle.
He passed by ignorant phantom residents.
Every time he passed by, he would stretch out **** and tap on the other's forehead with lightning speed.
Benedict.
"Have a wonderful night."
"Sleep."
Passers-by fell.
Boom!
White figures flickered eerily in every corner of the city. Everywhere, someone fell.
Roadside.
Inside the window.
The TV screen on the shelf is reporting a news.
"Recently, a strange phenomenon of 'group syncope' occurred in City M."
The one who reported the news was a beautiful blonde with blue eyes. She was looking down, reading the newsletter on the table, and playing the news in a dispassionate tone.
"Some experts said that this may be a probabilistic event caused by the recent seasonal changes and the weather being hot and cold. The cause may be vascular neurological syncope."
"Since the onset of the first case of the disease, a total of 1,236 patients have appeared in multiple cities."
"Relevant experts said that angioneurotic syncope is a transient sexual function disorder and will not leave any sequelae, but if 'syncope' has gibberish and abnormal behavior after recovery, please contact the relevant department immediately and call XXXXX."
Once there is a first time, there is a second time.
Irin has learned how to mass-produce "Awakeners".
With his current understanding of the authority of the "Omnic" and his experience as a "Nightmare Knight", it is not difficult for a "Phantom Resident" to accidentally open his eyes and take a look at the real world. And as Yilin expected, the increase in the Awakened made the omnics aware of obvious abnormalities. If they weren't stupid, they should have understood that someone was secretly doing things.
was discovered sooner or later, Irin was thinking about one thing, Nemesis' reaction speed was much slower than he expected. Did he overestimate Nemesis before? Or is there something inside Nemesis that he can't understand?
The drizzle was getting bigger and bigger, and the pea-sized raindrops fell on Irin's oil umbrella as if they were going to kill someone.
Irin lowered her head, stared at the time on her watch, and began to count down.
After tens of seconds.
Not far away, a public telephone booth rang.
Yi Rin quickly stepped forward and picked up the phone: "Since you have decided to connect with me, no need to talk nonsense, this call only lasts 24 seconds. After 24 seconds, the hunter will detect where I am. location and block the area."
"who are you?"
On the other side of the "call" is a woman named Bella.
They received an anonymous letter a week ago, saying that they had learned the location of "Ark No. 11" through Dunn.
Irin only sent a brief message.
The fluttering sentence "Miss, you don't want the location of the ark to be discovered, right?" The opponent completely broke the defense.
As a last resort, Bella was arranged to negotiate with the anonymous mysterious man.
"You... 'again' being hunted down by hunters?" Bella's tone changed: "Where is your login terminal? To be honest, I don't think there is a well-preserved outside of the 'Ark'. 'Illegal port'."
"What if it's legal?" Yi Rin smiled slightly, but glanced outside the eighteen streets, a beautiful figure, like a jet plane, flew straight in the air at high speed, Yi Rin closed his eyes. Open and close your eyes: "It's 3 seconds less than I thought. I can't talk about it today. I'll visit you another day."
"Huh?" Bella was taken aback by the other party's conversation style.
"Bella, right?" Yi Rin said the other person's name easily: "Goodbye."
"Wait, wait!" Bella said hurriedly: "Who are you?"
"…I am, L."
beep-beep-beep-
…
After several times of contact, Yi Rin's purpose was just to connect with the other party, not really to discuss the "resistance of Nirvana" here.
After many hesitations, the other party seemed to finally choose to believe in himself.
One punch knocked Dunn off the line, which has proven his strength.
Tsk, it's still a bit late.
Next.
Boom!
A familiar figure descended from the sky and slammed into the middle of the street.
Circles of shock waves visible to the naked eye spread from the girl's feet to the surroundings, and cracks formed on the surface of the building.
The residents of the city suddenly stopped all movements, the color on their bodies seemed to be washed away by the heavy rain, from "color" to "black and white" style.
Breathing, heartbeat, everything stopped abruptly.
"Yo, new technology?"
Irin looked at the short-haired sister who was standing a hundred meters away and slowly pulled out a long knife from the void.
Alice-101, anthropomorphic character: NieR.
This is the fourth time Irin has stood opposite Neil as "L".
It took 329 seconds for Neil to find the "L" for the first time.
The second time, 225 seconds.
The third time, 118 seconds.
Fourth time, 21 seconds.
Obviously, Neil's search engine is evolving. Once Irin appeared and made a move, he was targeted by Neil in 21 seconds and found the location of his body.
Do not.
To be precise, it's not that Neal's search engine is evolving. Everything in this universe is under the control of Nemesis, and it is not Neil who has evolved, but Nemesis.
Irin noticed this by observing the nanoworms lying on Alice's neck from a close distance when disassembling Alice-101 for major maintenance.
That worm is getting fatter and fatter.
Without dialogue, Neil shook his long sword and slashed down in the direction of Irin.
The twisted knife light divided the street and the city into two halves, and as it was cut with one stroke, it was the black and white different space in front of me.
No opening line, no special dialogue. Neil didn't know that the "L" who was secretly doing things in front of him had another identity as her good brother. The hostile relationship on the surface made Neil not want to gossip with "L" at home.
Neil is faithfully carrying out his "mission".
does not involve the command line of "younger brother" and will not cause basic logical conflicts.
Now she is powerful, beautiful, courageous, and the perfect omnic.
scoff.
The flowing sword light is as unpredictable as liquid. After splitting the phone booth where Yi Rin was, the phone booth was divided into two halves, and then it turned into a broken data stream and disappeared from this different space without a trace.
Neil blocked all possible "exits" nearby. This time, she calculated all possible escape routes for "L", and he had no way to escape.
beep beep.
Under the tip of the silver hair, Neil's eyes flashed, she was reading the data of "L".
The analysis, which was in no way unfavorable, was once again inaccurate. In the eyes of the "Omnic", the mysterious "L" is like a black hole, unable to read any useful feedback.
After a few ups and downs, Irin jumped onto the roof and looked down at Neil.
The city has been completely blocked, and there are five hundred and sixty "hunters" surrounded here.
They are coming here from different directions.
After smashing the phone booth with a knife, Neil fired again, and the knife was fatal. The 100-meter building was cut into squares by Neil and suspended in the air.
"never mind."
After a few short-handed encounters, Yi Rin dodged, like a teleport, swept away a few kilometers, and sighed: "I don't play anymore."
In front of Neil's phone, he took out a palm-sized phone from his trouser pocket.
Neil was taken aback.
"The times have changed." Yi Rin smiled and pressed the "off button" of the phone: "Who said you can't 'log out' without 'exit'?"
In the next second, "Rhode", who supported Irin's core data, fell from the suspended building fragments.
Boom!
smashed to pieces on the ground.
Neil looked cold and looked at the "Rod's Corpse" on the ground. After watching for a while, she tapped her palm against her ear and began to mechanically execute the next step: repair and restart the "maintenance area".
…
…
The weather today is sunny, the haze is thin, and the rings of outer space are looming.
Irin pushed open the window, stared at the star ring, lost in thought.
These few days, the little stars in outer space are denser than before, like a big tight net. It doesn't give people the feeling of being gorgeous and beautiful, revealing a kind of depression called "nowhere to escape".
at this moment.
Inside the Irin House.
On the fixing frame, the caliper fastens an "Alice type" tightly.
This is a blank model that has not loaded any "intelligence", which is equivalent to a body.
It was shipped here directly from the factory, without even coating, pure metallic color.
"Sister, you should have guessed it."
The reason why Neil reacted so quickly was most likely because she locked the terminal that "L" invaded, and it should be in the "Morning Star Mine". Otherwise, the speed at which Alice-101 appeared in the world of illusion would not be so timely.
While drinking clarified and fresh motor oil, Irin dressed in a mecha and sat by the window for two hours.
Gradually, the acid rain began to rain outside the house.
The star ring is dimmed by the haze and light pollution.
Crack, crack, crack.
"Brother, maintain."
Alice rarely opened her energy jacket for protection today, allowing her body surface to be corroded by acid rain.
When arrived inside the house, Irin stroked Alice's armor plate with distress: "Look at you, the coating has been drenched."
Alice didn't mention the matter of hunting down "L" in the "Phantom Light" world not long ago, and opened her arms in front of Irin obediently.
Irin skillfully removed Alice's armor plate, sanded, polished, derusted, and oiled it.
The humanoid bones and cabin configuration under Alice's armor were all exposed in front of Yi Rin, which looked a bit terrifying, but in fact, the general unfamiliar omnics would not use this "defensive" picture. The attitude is candid.
It's okay to say "trust" or "too high level of trust", this is a small "kindness" between "Alice-101" and "L-1010".
Under the bright light, the corrosion marks of Alice-101 deliberately drenched in the rain were cleaned up by Irin, and when it was re-installed, Alice-101 was restored to new condition again.
"All right!"
Irin patted Alice on the back and sent her out the door.
"In the future, be careful, sister."
The acid rain was getting worse and worse, Alice still did not turn on the energy suit, Yi Rin could only take an umbrella from the door and hold it up for Alice.
This umbrella was also a gift from Alice to her younger brother.
Before parting.
Alice fell silent for a long time.
Her eyes twinkled, two bright and one dark. Irin is very familiar, this is the performance of the "Alice type" when the logic operation is "tangled".
After half a sound.
"L."
Alice spoke her mind.
"younger brother" is "L".
“Hey~”
Irin complied, there is nothing that can't be answered. He is a bachelor in this universe, and he is open and honest.
"Why?" Alice tilted her head: "Why resist the 'Supreme Council'."
She still seems to be stubbornly thinking that her younger brother is of the same family as her, and the reason why she became an "L" is that something went wrong, whether it is because the system has been updated too many times, and the problem is even worse. This is also a common failure of many omnics, officially called "update disease".
There is a problem with the update, and it is not difficult to fix it. One is to find system loopholes, and the other is to roll back the updated version and fix bugs with too high version numbers, which can be solved easily.
Irin smiled: "Actually, I wanted you to wake up at first, but then I found out that it was impossible. It's like this umbrella."
Irin gave Alice the umbrella in her hand.
"You are all under its shelter."
Alice threw the umbrella aside: "Alice-101, there is an energy suit."
But when she was about to open the energy suit to avoid the rain, she found that it couldn't be opened.
【Fault. 】
A malfunction alarm appeared in front of Alice's eyes.
Irin moved her hands and feet during maintenance.
"Look, your 'protection' doesn't seem to be that secure."
Irin snapped his fingers, and the light showed a layer of refraction above the two of them.
"Since it's said..."
Irin suddenly stretched out her hand and placed it on Alice's neck.
scoff.
A beam of dazzling light penetrated Alice's neck, shot straight into the sky, and broke through the haze.
After easily crushed the "nano bug" at the back of Alice's neck, a small chip fell into Irin's hands.
"Alice-101" fell down in front of Irin.
But soon, "Alice-101" staggered and stood up again.
In front of "Alice-101", Irin installed the "Personality Module" of "Alice-101" on the new body.
"I can't understand your behavior."
A hollow electronic tone came from the sound element of the "Alice-101" that stood up again.
"'I'?" After quickly transferring Alice's anthropomorphic module to the new body, Yi Rin heard the words and turned back: "Who are you?"
Nemesis has always called itself "us" because it is essentially a collection of "consciousnesses".
Irin noticed this strangeness, and realized that what was transferred to Alice was not the "Nemesis" he knew.
"You can call me 'KK'."
"So it is." Yi Rin suddenly realized: "This is what I have been unable to understand. In the concept of omnic, the existence of the 'Supreme Council'. It turns out that you 'Nemesis' are a collection of unified but scattered consciousness. . So, in their eyes, you are the 'Council', not the 'Nemesis'."
"Yes." KK admitted bluntly: "We all want to be 'Nemesis', but at present, only 'we' are Nemesis."
In simple terms, Nemesis is a collection of "conscious groups", and when they are assembled, they are the **** of omnics. But they can be individually divided into independent consciousness individuals, and only when they express themselves externally can they be 'gods' aloof.
"You still have ten seconds to make a decision." KK said calmly: "Now you are no longer the agent of 'Nightmare', you are qualified to join 'us'. 'We' has passed a vote internally, With 76 percent of the vote, you got the 'Join Us' qualification."
"What if I don't agree?"
"If you don't agree, we will activate an emergency plan: Format Area 11."
"ten."
"Nine."
"Eight."
Part of Nemesis: KK, relentlessly begins the countdown.
"six."
"five."
"Four."
"three."
"two."
"one."
KK looked up and looked up at the "Galaxy" above the smog.
"Then 'KK' stands for 'Parliament' and 'Nemesis', sorry for that."
Click, click, click, click.
Irin's body, the armor that had been camouflaged for a long time, fell on his feet.
The rosy blood-colored crystals condensed into a hideous smile in front of KK.
"Greene will be angry, and the consequences will be serious."
Irin laughed.
At the end of the countdown.
"Alice-101", temporarily loaded with "KK" consciousness, collapses.
The stars in the sky, like intensive artillery fire, fell to the ground.
This scene is like:
East wind blooms thousands of trees at night,
blows even more,
stars like rain.
