As a player, can you be normal?

Before the sound of the system ended, several people fell to the ground floor area due to the collapse of the ground.

The intricately constructed steel bars above smashed down like ice pillars.

Cha Bai fell first due to the acceleration of gravity, caught Li Nuo, and then used his floating hand to catch Su Mei, who had poor air endurance.

The two members of the Resistance Army have excellent physical fitness and are not afraid of falling from high altitudes.

come here!

Cha Baizhe dodged to avoid the falling steel bars and found a notch where he could hide in the dusty narrow steel path.

Several people hid in and stared at the sky.

A floating mechanical body stands in the sky.

It is huge, about 6 meters tall. It holds a large pure white magnetic rail gun. Its arms are connected with oil pipes. Its body is shaped like a dragon's head. The round head of the mechanical life form is blocked by the body, making it look funny and weird.

This guy turned to where Li Nuo and the others were hiding.

A high-pitched voice came from the body:

Intruders locked - kill them - kill them - kill them -!

A large number of mechanical life forms crawled out of the narrow pipe.

Renn took out a skill card [Cooling Area], and a circular field floated with him as the center, and the temperature of things in the field dropped sharply.

We have three minutes to prepare... Ren said: During this period, these guys cannot lock our position.

Miles bit his finger.

I remember there is no such mechanical life form, right?

Su Mei took out a pair of ring-shaped sunglasses that looked like caterpillar tracks and put them on. The analysis data of the floating mechanical life form was displayed on the lenses.

The strength is questionable. The dragon head of the body is the core, and there is also a Riptide Cannon energy block in the body.

She paused.

Oops...the head of this thing is equipped with the activation switch of the 'shielding system'.

In other words, we must kill it to end the mission.

Hey... don't be impulsive. Miles looked at the two resistance soldiers: Are there any of your companions here?

The leader of the resistance army said: There is a team of twelve people, but we have... lost contact with them.

Li Nuo glanced at the passage behind him.

There can't be only one way to clear the mission. Fighting head-on is the easiest, but the risk is too high.

In such a big factory, not only can you find another way to clear the level, even if you can find a hidden exit route or item rewards, it will be worth it.

Captain and Dora, come with us. He said and threw [Zero Five].

Su Mei caught the technological sniper rifle and touched the gray gun body: Awesome... Cybertech weapons, have you ever been to Cyberpunk?

Li Nuo didn't answer her, it didn't matter.

He gave the [God of Dawn Cannon] to Miles.

You three, please restrain that floating mechanical creature. Let's find other ways to clear the level. The factory is so big, there may be trigger conditions that can be solved without fighting. Li Nuo paused and said, Pay attention to your life. Be safe and don’t push yourself.”

When he saw the floating mechanical life form and the rail gun, he weighed the outcome of the battle.

I was looking at this place from near the air raid shelter just now. The collapse of the factory tower should be the masterpiece of this mechanical life form.

Its combat power is excellent, and its strength is maxed out. It is impossible to win without bloodshed and death.

More importantly, there are a large number of mechanical life forms here, which cannot be fought alone and will be harassed by mobs. As long as there is a distraction, the floating mechanical life form can kill them with one blow.

He was convinced that there were some items, skills, equipment, and even plot items with tactical value hidden here. It was possible to find one in the shortest possible time, and then quickly go back and deal with the monster.

Miles pulled the triggers of both guns, and the blade popped out from the back of the gun and stood on the muzzle. Flames erupted from the barrel of the gun and enchanted the blade with flames. He tied the [God of Dawn Cannon] to the strap behind him and said with a smile: If I die, I will be buried with this cannon of yours.

As soon as he finished speaking, Miles stepped forward and immediately attracted the attention of the mechanical life form, and then started fighting.

Ren and Su Mei also followed out.

Hey... you're so talkative... Li Nuo originally thought he would have to waste some words, but he turned around and said, Captain and Dora, follow us closely.

Then he ran towards the passage at the back, leaned forward, moved at high speed, and jumped into the passage with a hurdle-like movement.

Cha Bai grabbed two resistance soldiers and followed them.

Four people entered the factory.

There was gunfire outside.

Ren rushed in front. The long sword was a European-style straight sword with a simple name, Straight Sword. The sword's blade was shining with thunder spots. The attack method is straight forward, without any feints, and it is just a matter of using force to overcome skill.

Miles followed behind, fast and swift, cutting the robot's body with two knives in his hands.

The two of them worked together to fight their way out of the mechanical life form.

Su Mei fired [optical camouflage] in the rear and fired guns in the dark for cover.

Melee, long-range, and smooth cooperation, it seems like this is not the first time they cooperate. In fact, it is because they are so familiar with their own strengths and weaknesses that they can quickly enter a state of cooperation.

In Endless Corridor, players can theoretically develop in all directions, which is just as difficult as saying in reality that anyone has the opportunity to become an all-round talent.

As the script tasks progress, in order to survive in a more difficult world, players will solve tasks in a accustomed way, resulting in those who are good at it getting better and better, and those who are not good at it will be left aside.

Players have no profession, and all they have to survive is all they have.

Attributes in the early stage are very important. After level 25, when it comes to difficult scenarios, skills and equipment become even more critical. The growth of equipment and skill systems can prevent every player from getting lost in complex combat orientations, while ensuring personal While personalizing the style, it also provides “key points” for development.

Almost in just five minutes,

The clanging shouts of death stopped.

Dozens of damaged mechanical life forms were scattered and leaning on the platform path of the factory.

The battlefield was quiet except for the sound of Ren's breathing, with red eyes.

Your physical strength is poor enough. Miles' face was wet with sweat, and he threw the arm of a mechanical life form on the ground. He followed up teasingly.

Several people looked up.

Woo——!

The floating mechanical life forms emitted abnormal sound waves, and more mechanical life forms crawled out from the gaps in the pipes and walls.

Holding swords, holding heavy axes, and holding bombs, they pressed forward layer after layer.

After the demise of mankind, a war broke out that lasted for thousands of years between artificial humans and mechanical life forms who thought humans were still alive.

It is said to be a war, but in fact the outcome has already been decided.

Since aliens arrived on Earth, they have been producing mechanical life forms on a large scale all over the world. This behavior did not stop for thousands of years after the aliens' demise.

During this period, artificial humans were also being mass-produced. However, due to the fine workmanship and the fact that the energy areas were occupied by mechanical life forms, the production speed was limited. As a result, the artificial humans were unable to withstand the huge number of mechanical life forms.

Fine gears cannot compete with popular machinery.

The androids lost from the start.

Players like Renn and others already know all the stories of this world.

However, they only now understand what kind of enemies these artificial humans have faced in their thousands of years of reincarnation.

Damn...

Su Mei anxiously bit off the cigarette between her teeth.

She swung out the hook device on her wrist and grabbed the superstructure.

Catch me! Kill that floating mechanical life form directly!

…

In the dark passage, Cha Bai ran at the front. This straight corridor forked up and down.

down!

Li Nuo jumped over and ran towards the spiral staircase leading to the lower level.

The resistance team leader shouted from behind: Wait... the connection below should be the undersea area, which is more dangerous!

Li Nuo ran quickly, adjusted his breathing and said: The total area of ​​the factory is about 20,000 square meters. Except for the tall tower in the middle, the rest of the area is the same as a garbage dump. The main building of the factory, which is this tower-like structure, has already been It’s been blown up and there’s no way but down.”

Excuse me... Dora quickly followed Li Nuo and asked, How do you know the area and... general structure of this factory?

This place has always been occupied by mechanical life forms, and even the nearby artificial humans do not know what is going on here.

When we were bounced over just now, couldn't we see what this place looked like in mid-air?

Li Nuo's explanation was extremely simple.

The simpler it is, the more confusing it is for the resistance. In that case, who would care to observe the structure of the factory?

No, that's not right! the squad leader shouted, We shouldn't split up now, the situation of those three is very dangerous!

Li Nuo: What are you thinking! If you can beat me, why don't you just fight? The opponent has many people and the general is powerful. We should move in batches to find loopholes and then attack!

What kind of philosophy do you have?

Li Nuo said nonsense: Sun Tzu's Art of War: The first plan is the first! If there is no battle and the temple is considered the winner, it must be counted as more. If there is no battle but the temple is not the winner, it must be counted as less. If more is counted as the winner, the less is counted. Besides, It doesn’t matter!”

The Resistance Army was stunned by these words.

Cha Bai was used to it. When she saw the [Type 40 Tactical Knife] Li Nuo was carrying, her pupils trembled slightly: This knife...

Li Nuo: I almost forgot...a dead Yorha Force android gave it to me.

Li Nuo handed the knife to Cha Bai, who was a little hesitant.

[Type 40 Tactical Knife] is a weapon exclusively used by Yorha's troops, and she is a little resistant to it.

Li Nuo nodded. What he meant was that only with the existence of weapons from the Yoroha Army, Chabai could upload memories to the weapons. In order to modify Chabai's body and clean up the virus, this step was essential.

Cha Bai still retracted his hand: Let's wait until this operation is over...

Li Nuo noticed that she used the title action.

Is it still having an impact if it's subtle...

At the end of the spiral staircase is a corrugated iron door.

A mantis cannon popped out from Cha Bai's back, and it hit his soul!

The door was blown open by a high-explosive bomb!

Several mechanical life forms riding on floating disks jumped out from inside.

Li Nuo jumped up, stepped on one of the enemies before they fired, took out the [Eight-Star Gun], aimed it at the target, and pulled the trigger with a face-off!

High-explosive bombs destroy targets instantly.

The effect of upgrading long-range weapons is to increase the number of bullets or reduce recoil. As the exclusive weapon of Adam Hammer, the [Eight-Star Gun] is powerful enough to be comparable to weapons in the world of NieR.

Broken iron sheets were scattered in the air.

The killed mechanical life form exploded.

Seven or eight round mechanical life forms from behind rushed over again like black shadows!

The resistance team leader shot and covered from behind.

Cha Bai snapped his fingers, and the sparks on his fingertips fell to the ground. The heels of his shoes rubbed the sparks on the ground, and flames burst out from the soles of his feet. The long boots [Yinga] activated, accelerated the bending line and dived, elegantly dodging from the muzzle of the mechanical cannon. A purple energy ball shot out of it.

A kick covered in flames destroyed the mechanical creature with a long-range weapon.

The floating arm holding the hammer detached, flying in the air like a motorized aircraft and smashing into the approaching enemies.

Inside the dark factory, lights flickered.

The shattering and noisy sound of shattering echoed inside the mottled factory. Bullet casings fell on the ground, energy balls hit the corners, mechanical creatures that deviated from the track, mutilated iron corpses, bullets, blades, and blunt objects. , flashed by, and finally only the life that suddenly disappeared was left.

The four of them finally cleared away the large group of mechanical life forms behind the door.

Only then did Li Nuo have time to look around, and there were mechanical life forms that looked completely different from those in the original game.

He didn't know if this was a sign of magic reform or something else...

someone here!

Dora's voice tightened their strings again.

Cha Shiro stood in front of a corpse of a Yorha Army android, not knowing what to say.

The black-haired Yorha Force android was sitting in the corner, holding a broken gun in her hand. The hole in her head told others that she committed suicide.

Li Nuo remembered the mission details he had seen before:

[Team G of Yorha Force collects combat information, five people in the team]

[5B, offensive type, dead (killed when lowered for combat)]

[16D, defensive type, dead (dead by being shot through the brain)]

[3G, shooting type, dead]

[5H, therapeutic, infected with logic virus, died (suicide)]

[6S, scanning type, infected with logic virus, died (executed by 3G)]

She committed suicide, she must be 5H.

Li Nuo found a disk from 5H's hand, and the team leader thoughtfully took out the projector.

A voice message about landing operations came from inside:

…

This is the landing record of Team G of the Yorha Force, and the sound waves are being debugged.

The current altitude is 50,000 meters. We have exceeded the maximum temperature point. Now start cooling the armor.

So, this is the ocean.

Hey, what do you think the Earth should look like?

It should be the same as simulation.

Guys, we're in the middle of a descent attack. Don't say anything irrelevant.

Okay, okay...No. 3, don't embarrass her.

This is the command post. Squadron Yurha, please reply.

This is the 3rd. The plan is going smoothly. We will reach our destination in 40 minutes. No enemies found... It will be easy.

Don't let your guard down, you are approaching the enemy's air territory.

You are always so worried, Miss Commander.

No. 5 is under attack!

what happened?!

No. 6 is under attack!

No!

They'll attack us when we land.

No. 16, No. 5 is under attack!

No. 3, calm down!

No. 5? No. 5 answer me!

Command! Where is the support?!

We'll reach an ignition point in five seconds.

Please hurry up!

Incoming heat source detected!

46 short-range missiles!

Avoid it!

We can't do it!

Activate the anti-magnetic shield!

The missile has-

…

The violent explosion drowned out the last sentence.

Cha Bai recalled the first and only time he descended into battle.

After entering the atmosphere from the space fortress, the scene of the mechanical life form's countless missiles crashing into the sight like a shower was awakened by this recording.

Li Nuo picked up the tactical knife and damaged laser pistol on 5H and continued on the road.

In the dim corridor, the corpses of mechanical lifeforms displayed on both sides were randomly placed like garbage.

Li Nuo has sharp eyes.

I saw a bloody hand among the old and scattered parts.

He pulled out his hand and found the corpse of a player, with the jaw cut off and bloody.

[Tip: In this script, due to special protection, the player's body will be ignored by the artificial man by default]

It's a disguised form of telling players not to mess with the script, right?

Li Nuo pursed his lips, squatted down, took off the corpse's backpack, and put its equipment in. It was a kind of picking up corpses.

He suddenly had an idea and thought of Xu Muye's [Inferior Book of Brigades], and chose to bind the equipment.

[Tip: There is an implicit threshold for players to bind props and equipment. If they exceed the tolerance range, they will receive negative feedback. This feedback needs to be forcibly unbound by another prop or equipment to offset it. Please explore on your own]

Li Nuo took out the book with a sullen face, and the worn book automatically floated in the air.

[Identify the available skills of this player]

[Skills cannot be stripped yet, this player has no linkage with you]

Ha, it's better to call it the Book of Erwuzai. Li Nuo put the book into his coat: It doesn't matter, sooner or later a player who can kill will come to your door.

Hurry up! The resistance team leader in the distance shouted, and she found the thermal imaging of her companions.

In a certain room, three more surviving resistance soldiers were found, and they were all separated.

Li Nuo didn't have time to listen to this. Anyway, he could guess the process pretty much, so he led the way and ran quickly.

At the end of the corridor, there is a door.

Li Nuo went up and kicked the door open, trying to scare the imaginary enemy behind the door before he could scare him.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped with his foot in front and opened his arms to block the Resistance Army and Cha Bai who were following behind him.

In front of you is a suspended plank road against the wall, with the sound of sea water undulating in the hollow below the center.

Standing opposite were hundreds of mechanical life forms, looking sluggish as if they were possessed by an evil spirit, jumping from the edge of the plank road to the bottom one after another.

Li Nuo remembered that there was a similar scene in the NieR game, but it seemed to be a plot related to religion...

He walked out slowly with doubts and doubts, and looked at the big hole underneath. His pupils were stunned and his scalp was numb.

A giant sphere composed of countless mechanical life forms was circling and rolling beneath the hollow like a crawler.

Li Nuo took out the telescope he had just picked up from his bag. In the center of the giant sphere, a strange thing was imprinted on the retina through the lens.

It was a group of gears, cables, pulleys, and screws gathered together, with a fiery red spot in the center.

Li Nuo put down the telescope.

He glanced at the mechanical life form that was still jumping in the distance.

He took a look down with the telescope again.

After looking back and forth several times.

Cha Bai asked worriedly: What's wrong?

Li Nuo: Is there a large sphere in the center? A bunch of mechanical life forms are surrounding it.

Team leader: What... sphere?

Dora: It can't be a black hole, right? I've seen related descriptions in human literature...

Li Nuo picked up a screw scattered on the ground and threw it down. He saw that the screw was stuck in the iron sheets gathered together by the machine.

“Mechanical matter sticks.”

He dug out the alchemical material, the witch's eyeball, from his bag and threw it down.

The eyeball hit the mechanical sphere below and fell into the sea water further below.

“Things of flesh and blood may not stick.”

Li Nuo touched the mask on his face, and his scalp was really numb.

Looks familiar.

Prometheus Fire? If it is this thing... there is no danger as long as you don't touch it.

Tell me something? Cha Bai asked.

He took one final look around with his telescope. There was a door on the side of the sphere.

Let's go down and take a look. Be careful not to touch anything related to it, including the mechanical life forms attached to it.

Are you sure... The captain was still thinking about his companions, and this thing in front of him was really weird.

Li Nuo hummed.

For this mission's special reward, he must keep the Resistance with him for safety.

The god of mechanical life forms, 33P, comes from the story of the NieR generation, which is thousands of years ago in 11942 where you are.

When Li Nuo narrated the above paragraph, the Resistance Army around him would automatically be blocked by the system from content about the Endless Corridor.

To put it simply, it is a robot that has been imprisoned in a secret room. One day after being killed, it awakens its consciousness and develops emotions. By fusing various mechanical things, it shapes itself into a huge sphere and sends it When it reached the sky, it felt puzzled when it saw the war between artificial people and mechanical life forms.

Why kill.

Li Nuo imitated the original text and recited the story as much as possible:

What has become of this world? Where have humans gone? While gathering thoughts, 33P detected violent vibrations. One missile directly hit its body. The second and third missiles also hit one after another. .”

The robot 33P, which has become a huge sphere and has been integrated with various mechanical bodies, is thinking.

Why do these machines fight.

The conclusion is simple because they were ordered to do so.

Machines and artificial humans are designed to only obey orders silently, and destruction is work.

We are trembling, we are afraid of death, where will we go when we die? What is the point of being destroyed and eliminated? After being damaged beyond repair, what will be waiting for us ahead?

Carefully follow the stairs to the bottom.

A small door is seen under a vertical ladder.

Why do these machines start a horrible war? There is no other reason, because they don't have fear. Fear is the consciousness brought by the self. They are not living, so they have a way to fight. Then give them, give them the means to survive. significance.

Hmm... Li Nuo scratched his mask: That's probably the original text.

What happened next? the team leader asked.

Later? Later, P33 wrote consciousness and emotions into the programming of the mechanical life form. From then on, P33 became the god of the mechanical life form.

Li Nuo pointed at the group of small mechanical life forms jumping down from above.

Well, it's like them. Later they developed a form similar to religious concepts, and started to be buried without caring about themselves. Of course, this is what I guessed.

The team leader shrugged his shoulders: That's a good story, so you still don't know what this big ball is?

Li Nuo guessed that the androids would not believe it. Like the mechanical life forms at that time, most of these androids had not yet been able to rewrite their own command programs. Only a few deserters who had disconnected from the Internet lived out their own lives.

Next, he asked the Resistance Army to stay here and respond outside.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai decided to climb down the ladder with a height difference of six meters.

Chabai thought of a certain scene in the NieR game and asked Li Nuo to go down last.

In order to prevent any abnormal SCP items from appearing behind the door, Li Nuo carefully pushed open the door.

Inside is a medium-sized empty room.

Extremely dark.

Under the illumination of an oil lamp, he carefully entered after confirming that there were no traps or anything nearby.

There is a computer.

There is also a human skeleton.

From the clothing and equipment, it can be seen that the corpse is a player.

Similar to the H5 we saw earlier, the gun in this corpse's hand and the bullet holes in his head indicate that he also committed suicide.

Judging from the skeleton, it should be that of a man. The skeleton is intact. No mechanical life form or artificial person has discovered him. It may be that he was not discovered under the influence of the Endless Corridor.

Cha Bai frowned: Have you been dead for a long time?

Li Nuo picked up an oil lamp, illuminated the bones, and observed carefully: Generally, it takes 10 days to more than 1 month for adult corpses exposed to the air to become bones in the summer, more than 5-6 weeks in spring and autumn, and several months in winter. Above, the humidity around here can be as short as less than a month, or as long as...hundreds or even thousands of years.

Cha Bai found a key from the table.

[Computer power-on key]

[Plot Items]

[Brief description: There may not be any benefit to reading the last words left by a certain player, but there is definitely no benefit to not reading them]

After seeing the note, Li Nuo felt that the situation was a little strange.

It seems that the message left by the deceased is of great significance.

But it may not necessarily be beneficial to see it.

What does it mean?

Plot change? Spoiler? Hidden clues revealed?

Many possibilities flashed through Li Nuo's mind.

Thinking rationally, the current situation is already very bad. One more thing and one less thing will make no difference.

It's irrational to think about what if a treasure chest drops from the sky.

Li Nuo took the key and inserted it into the keyhole under the computer host. This was the first time he had seen a computer that required a key to start, and it was quite novel.

[Side mission has been triggered: message from player 7300]

[Task reward: listen to the message]

The description of the branch plot tells Li Nuo that there is no regret medicine in this world.

But this stuff is important.

The computer screen lit up for a moment, and a voice that could only appear in the player's ears came from the speaker:

If you, or you, can hear my voice, it means I should be dead, ah... I'm so reluctant, hahaha, let's get back to the topic.

My name is Mani Fortes, player number 7300.

This is my fifth script after completing the level 25 assessment. I am just a little bit away from reaching level 40, but our entire team died in the world of NieR.

In the final analysis, we underestimated the enemy. This damn script is full of mechanical life forms. I clearly remember the details of each teammate's death. I can't get rid of it. It's swirling in my mind. The world of NieR has been It’s cursed. It’s a fucking world with no possibility of a better future. Don’t believe in the happy ending in the game. There is nothing here except the pain of reincarnation.”

Another friend and I escaped back to the Kingdom of Day. After being chased here by the mechanical life forms, I was the only one left alive.

I was seriously injured and I don't have much gold coins left. I can't survive even if I quit the script, so I might as well die here. I plan to make a tomb for myself. Designating the machinery factory as a tomb is an interesting choice, and it's close to the sea. A factory with a sea view, hahaha, in my era, accommodation fees in places near the sea were very expensive, I’m going too far... Sorry, let’s get back to it...

Then I suddenly thought, maybe I can do something big before I die, let myself become a part of the 'Endless Corridor' and change history. This is a good choice, so I connected to the network of mechanical life forms, these little guys It has a very strong learning ability. As long as it is conducive to the development of mechanical life forms, the network will record the information you upload and promote the evolution of mechanical life forms in the years to come.

The content I uploaded is - the design drawings of the mechanical monster and the floating sniper.

So I even got a secret key to the mother network. I tried it. Do you know what happened? I pulled out the save file of [Prometheus Fire]! I got a key that can summon [Prometheus Fire]. Projection of the Fire of Michus], this thing is also a short-range summoning key, I put it at the door, holy shit! If I had known this trick, we wouldn't have to die! But, but I don't have time...

I made an electronic brain connection for myself before and connected it to the mother network, which caused the data flow to be infected with a logic virus. Ha... now everyone will die.

Today is the year 10006 in NieR Automata. The Yorha Army will have to wait another thousand years to appear. I can't bear to see the legendary 2B and A2 before I die...

Beep——

The voice paused.

Then at the entrance behind him, there was the sound of wooden boards falling to the ground.

Okay, having said that, the summoning scroll that can be activated by opening the door should have reached the trigger time.

They are my trump card.

clatter--

clatter--

The light source lengthens the shadow behind him.

Li Nuo lowered his head and glanced back to see a dark shadow. He didn't dare to look up and stretched out his hand to cover Cha Bai's eyes.

Cha Bai understood that something was wrong and stood motionless, but the heat of the fire element was already rubbing against his palms.

[Side mission has been triggered: message from player 7300]

[Task reward: player’s 7300 storage items]

[Mission details: Escape from the observation range of player 7300 within fifteen minutes. There is a summoned object Painting: Collection of Yandere Girls in this area]

My name is Mani Fortes, player number 7300.

The gentleness in front of you is lying to you.

Die with me.

Beep——
