Chapter 188 Hidden Line Update (12W)

Chapter 188 Hidden Line Update (1.2W)

The three of them turned around and stared behind them.

The mechanical life forms in the darkness trampled on the earth, causing the ground to shake and panic.

The roar, sound waves, red eyes, weird posture, huge body, sharp fangs like dinosaurs shining with light, electric current running wildly on the spikes on the back, giant dinosaurs, all indicate that trouble is coming.

Koeman's eyes widened, panic crawling in his mind like ants.

Man, I think I've seen this thing before...

Li Nuo was silent.

Under the mask, what is reflected in the pupils is Mechagodzilla.

According to the records in the game, there is a mechanical dinosaur living in the dark night zone.

This small BOSS does appear in the main volume of NieR Automata.

But the one in front of them was obviously more than three times larger than in the game.

In the thousands of years since human beings have disappeared, you would never have imagined what boring things this group of mechanical life forms and artificial humans had done by relying on the film and television materials left behind by humans.

Li Nuo: Hush...how far is it from the mining town?

Koeman: About, three kilometers, almost there.

Li Nuo bent down slightly and then half squatted.

Fall back.

His eyes signaled Chabai to move the car.

The giant python that had just swallowed the artificial man on the high platform suddenly opened its mouth towards the mechanical dinosaur and let out a hoarse roar.

With a sudden flash of light, Mechagodzilla opened his huge mouth and flooded the python with a blast of laser rays.

Li Nuo took the opportunity to lift the box of the mine cart and threw the ore into the shelf of Emil's sales cart.

He quickly climbed into the car seat.

The rays ejected by Mechagodzilla continued to slide across the mountains, and rocks fell down. Chabai raised his hand and chanted a spell, and the elf magic [Fiber Optic Shield] protected the area of the three of them.

There was a moment of panic, and a small skull of a mechanical dinosaur popped out of the cargo box.

A special panel pops up:

[Mission details: The skull of Mechagodzilla’s child is considered by the artificial people to be of high research value, so both the minerals and the skull must be brought back]

[Truth of the mission: This skull has no research value]

So you have to mess with this beast?

【Notice】

[This task involves the opening of a special line, and the difficulty fluctuates greatly]

Ready, let's go!

Cha Bai stood on the carriage and shouted, the scapular mantis cannon had already popped out from his back and pointed at the monster on the opposite side.

Li Nuo gritted his teeth, stepped on the stirrups, and prepared to rush out.

Holy shit...why can't the motorcycle start on fire... Coman started to panic out of fear.

The artificial humans are designed to be so similar to humans that they even possess the innate fear emotions of humans. When fear begins, the human body enters an emergency state, a large amount of adrenaline is released, breathing becomes heavier and faster, and the heart rate increases. The simulated blood circulation is accelerated, the blood supply to the muscles is increased, the pupils are dilated, the brain releases substances similar to dopamine, and the mind is highly concentrated to speed up the reaction ability and judgment...and then, in a hurry, everything is ruined by a nervousness.

At this time, Mechagodzilla bent his thick mechanical waist, and the machine gun muzzle popped out of his back.

Tongues of fire spurted out.

A row of bullet holes was left on the side of the car.

Cha Bai took a deep breath, exhaled the flame residue to detonate the air, and used scorching magic power to detonate the bullet.

Amidst the continuous explosions, Li Nuo turned around, half of his face was reflected red by the firelight. He aimed the Malorian pistol at Mechagodzilla and pulled the trigger. However, the opponent's body was too hard and the bullet could not penetrate it at all. .

The giant beast once again accumulated energy and prepared for the impact of the laser cannon.

Koeman: You go first, the tires of the car...

Cha Bai gritted his teeth, kicked over the frame of the bicycle frame, popped out a mechanical floating arm and pulled Coman over. Regardless of the thin clothes, he turned over vigorously, clamped the motorcycle with his long legs, and flipped onto the bicycle frame in the air.

Let's go!

As soon as she finished speaking, her arms that were still in the air let go, and Coleman fell onto the frame.

Li Nuo stepped on the stirrup, and the sales car drove forward at the highest speed.

This mission reminds me that it will cause mechanical life forms or monsters to appear, and the level will fluctuate by 15 levels.

If they happen to be lucky and Mechagodzilla doesn't show up, it's probably some monster harassing them, like a pack of dogs.

But Lady Luck obviously didn't want to lift up her skirt for them to see.

The behemoth behind them was chasing them, their footsteps pounding on the wasteland, like a building chasing them!

Is there a way to make the car faster? For example, acceleration magic! Li Nuo shouted.

Cha Bai gritted his teeth: Even if you say so...

She suddenly had an epiphany.

Sit down immediately.

Facing the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus at the rear, its back is pressed against the frame.

The long legs are lifted up and stuck in the groove of the frame to fix the body position.

The mantis cannon gathers magical energy, and the crystal-colored rays bombard Mechagodzilla!

The magic ray has no distance limit, and when it hits Mechagodzilla, it has the effect of a combustion accelerator. The sales car accelerates instantly, traveling hundreds of meters in an instant, and travels through the wilderness of stars like a ghost!

Koeman's eyes were filled with incredulity, seeing this kind of operation for the first time in hundreds of years of his life!

The rays continued to burn Mechagodzilla's body, and parts of his arms, chest, and abdominal cavity began to scatter, but he still did not give up the pursuit.

Ah——! Chabai roared, his magic power continued to disappear, and he took out [Ether] and stuck it on his body.

Once your eyes are focused, your brilliance will regenerate!

Turn up the magic!

Then cum!

Li Nuo stepped on the stirrup of the carriage at full speed, thinking that relying on Cha Bai's trick was not a long-term solution, so he took out the [Inferior Book of Brigades].

The book floated to the side of his head.

The cover opened automatically, and a passage reflected on the title page:

[All skills of player 8726 have been recorded, and one can be extracted at any time for use in the current scenario]

Li Nuo scanned it roughly.

Why does this guy have such useless skills?

…

The mining town is located on the edge of a cliff, with the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in front of it, which is bottomless and spans thousands of meters.

The canyon is a feat done by artificial man to restore the wonders of mankind.

As for why Colorado has become a wonder, it starts with the information left by humans: Colorado does not support idlers...

In short, skipping the useless content, there is the largest mine on the edge of the Kingdom of Darkness next to the town.

The artificial humans here have formed a preliminary social system, each performing their own duties and doing their own things in the town.

Machine guns and turrets were mounted on the barbed wire fence around the town, alerting them to the eyeing mechanical lifeforms and monsters. They were placed here calmly as if they were the last position.

But today.

The calm was suddenly broken.

The guards saw several huge creatures looming in the darkness in the distance.

Then came flying dust like a sandstorm.

The Kingdom of Darkness had not seen a sandstorm for decades, so the guards quickly understood that it was not a sandstorm, but a strange creature approaching, and they were about to sound the alarm.

Dozens of machine guns were aimed at the center of the mutation.

Two high-beam lights emitted from round-hole eyes came over.

This was followed by an eerie and cheerful song that rang out from the sound of the sandstorm.

Emil's big head went into the guard's telescope.

The guard decided that it must be a monster. Before he asked someone to shoot him, he saw a guy holding a white flag on the monster's head.

It reminded him of a certain message from human civilization, holding up a white flag to symbolize surrender and harmlessness.

Then they saw a guy with a strange mask riding a blue car with a strange head. There were two cannons on the car, but there was no sign of ignition.

On the frame, a white-haired girl was holding a motorcycle as a shield, and the mechanical muzzle on her shoulder blades continuously fired light blue magic cannons to the rear.

Further back, purple light swept through the dust, and a giant mechanical dinosaur chased behind the car.

Mechanical Tyrannosaurus!

Someone shouted, as if he saw a devil coming from the abyss.

The guard put down his telescope and shouted to the people behind him:

The distance is about 500 meters, prepare to shoot!

Li Nuo pulled out the skill from the book, pressed it on his body, and looked at the looming entrance to the town ahead.

It's about 500 meters away, everyone is sitting tight!

[Skill: Combat Charge Tornado (Fire)]

[Brief description: A kid’s cheating plug-in spins like a tornado and flies into the sky in a parabolic orbit. The sprinting speed is different, and the flying distance is also different, and the longest distance is 800 meters]

Li Nuo took off his hat and held it between his teeth, using himself as the driving force to use his skills.

The car suddenly peaked and flew straight into the air. As Li Nuo's body rotated, the entire car began to rotate rapidly, flying high into the sky like a tornado, rolling up noises with sparks.

Oh my God!

Coman felt that he was on a pirate ship, and he should have known better than to follow him for some reason.

As the world was spinning, the cannonballs of the guards had been fired. Li Nuo's body was spinning, and he gritted his teeth and pressed the switch of the Qianbi Cannon. Regardless of whether it was aimed correctly or not, anyway, the cannonballs from the guards' side were blasted in the mechanical explosion. On the dragon.

boom--!

The fire buried this huge building-like thing.

The body that had been destroyed by the magic ray could no longer withstand the stronger explosion. The fuselage was severely damaged and the body fell in the center of the flames.

Cha Bai jumped out of the carriage first and landed behind the guard gate.

Li Nuo!

She followed the spinning sales cart with long strides, and raised her hand to catch the cart falling from the sky like an overlord who could carry a tripod.

All the artificial humans were dumbfounded.

Who are...

The ore tied to the frame of the carriage fell out and hit the ground with a bang.

Li Nuo took off his hat and put it on his messy hair.

Sending mines.

Besides, we're going to Yorktown.

…

Yorktown.

In some dark corner.

The seats made of garbage cans appear to be arranged in a messy manner.

The back of the chair is made up of the arms of countless mechanical life forms. The man is sitting on it, his pupils shining with a circle of light.

The eyes of dozens of mechanical life forms lit up with small yellow-green lights.

Their eyes were fixed on the man sitting on it.

His dull expression could not hide the enthusiasm in his eyes.

A huge mechanical life form came out and bent down towards the five bodyguards and the muscular man wearing sunglasses beside the man.

Long live the leader!

Long live!

Long live--!

The shouts of mountains and tsunamis erupted below.

What should I do? Being held in such a high position. Victor looked behind him: Brother Ma, this is not going to end well.

Marjie, who was sitting in the leader's seat, had a cold face and gritted his teeth.

The network signal cannot be connected. Without the secret key, we can't contact him at all!

Don't be anxious... Victor wanted to persuade him, but after glancing at the flying machines patrolling outside, he still said, Forget it, you'd better be anxious.

Marjie shouted: Li Nuo... Why don't you come here! If you don't come, I will become the leader of a fucking cult!

Mechanical life form: The leader said that we are a cult!

Cult!

We are a cult!

…

Li Nuo felt his nose was a little itchy.

He knew that no one would scold him.

To get to York City you need to fly over a large ditch, or deep valley.

Since they have a sales car, you need to wait for an hour and use the large cable car to go there.

[Side mission completed]

[Retrieve the supply of mineral transportation team and send it to the mining town]

[Task reward: 1800 experience points, special store purchase rights in the mining town]

There’s not much to say about the mission.

Among the rewards, the Special Shop in Mining Town displayed is the key.

According to Coman, this store is the direct supply and sales point of Jacol. There is a chance that you can get information about Jacol, and even if the situation is bad, you can still get some useful equipment.

The technology in the world view of NieR belongs to magical science.

Science is controlled by the artificial human headquarters in the sky orbital base, and magic is sealed in the lunar plane.

So in order to get good things, you must find Yacol, the only special person in this world who travels through time and space.

Special shops in small towns are closed.

Li Nuo had no choice but to find someone to inquire.

You said Aya, she went out and I don't know where she went. The female android with the round iron ball head said.

Li Nuo looked at the other party's appearance and asked with a smile:

Your brain...

Does it look good? This is called personality.

The android patted its head like a watermelon and said: It is said that humans emphasize individuality, such as painting big cats and shrimps on their bodies, and then dyeing their hair white. Speaking of which... I heard that the Yorha Force has a new machine They have white hair, and I heard they even wear eye patches, just like what humans say...

Li Nuo: S and M?

Ah, yes, yes! the android asked, Do you know how to play that?

have no idea.

Li Nuo suppressed the thought of harming the other party and still wanted to do business now.

Now that the shop owner is out, let's go find it by ourselves. We can't just wait around.

Thinking this, Li Nuo lay on the ground and started to smell.

The round-headed android smiled and said, You look like my dog~

Li Nuo raised his eyes.

Then he smiled and pulled out the screw on the guy's head and threw it away.

The android roared and chased after his screw.

Like a dog chasing something thrown by its owner.

at the same time.

In the artificial man's resting base.

Chabai is reading a book.

Li Nuo gave her the book Ninjutsu that came from the intruder Richard.

The reason is that Li Nuo can't understand it.

The words above are all in reverse order, and some words are completely untranslatable.

After all, it is part of the worldview of Ninja Gaiden and may require special conditions to understand, such as an aborigine like Richard.

Chabai couldn't understand either.

But an idea occurred to her.

She took the book and found the bathroom, locked the door, took out [2B's ninja uniform] and changed into it.

He glanced at himself in the mirror.

It’s not much different from not wearing anything.

Even more tempting...

Boom——!

anyone there?

There was a knock on the door.

Horse, right away!

Cha Bai shouted that the androids did not need to excrete, and everyone who came to the bathroom came to fetch water.

So she opened Nin Taijutsu.

Lord Triss...

Wearing this dress, I actually understand...

Cha Bai didn't have time to be surprised by this.

Because she discovered that the combat skills written on it far exceeded the results of thousands of years of human killing.

[Whether to learn Melee Combat Advanced]

Cha Bai's eyes lit up.

yes!

…

Li Nuo followed the smell and came to a house with Access Management Office written on it.

As soon as the door of the house was opened a crack, the noise inside came out.

The woman with her hair in a bun: Hey, please, isn't that okay!?

Receptionist in hat: No, no one can replace your job.

How long do you want me to work? I should go out to see, relax, and travel! The woman's voice became louder and louder, with anger and unwillingness in her tone: I don't care, I will definitely go out, every day I’m already tired of staying in a place like this!”

The receptionist said expressionlessly: No, no, work is higher than life. This is a rule left by humans. We must remember it. You can go back.

The woman gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound, then turned and left.

Li Nuo stepped aside, and he smelled the scent of this woman, who was the owner of a special store.

But in comparison, he was more curious about what happened.

Li Nuo stepped through the door.

The receptionist saw his unique mask and recognized him at a glance: Oh~ you are the friend who just helped us retrieve the ore. What can I do?

Li Nuo glanced at the door: Lady, what's wrong?

She always wants to travel. In fact, we all know that she wants to find her husband. There was a hint of uneasiness in the receptionist's eyes, and he shrugged his shoulders deliberately to hide it: The Kingdom of Darkness is everywhere. It’s full of danger, and I just go out wherever I can, thinking about those rabbits that can eat people, my butt starts to tremble.”

Li Nuo raised his hand [Seal of Yaksi].

What's the real reason?

Her husband has been dead for a long time... We are worried that she will be depressed after knowing the truth... so we will prevent her from leaving the town...

The receptionist's eyes were dull. After a few seconds, he calmed down and regained consciousness, but Li Nuo had already left.

…

Li Nuo pushed open the door of the special store.

The woman I met just now, also a shop owner named Aya, was sorting out the boxes.

welcome.

Aya spoke in a formal and emotionless welcome.

When he looked up and saw Li Nuo, his eyes paused.

We met just now...ah, I remember, you are the one who got the ore back. Aya wiped her hands and said absently: That batch of ore is very important to me, I will give you special permission.

Aya opens the counter.

What is sold here are some repair equipment, but there is a small box behind the counter.

This is a special source of goods that can only be purchased by adventurers who have made outstanding contributions. If you think it's cheaper, the deal will be done for 2,000.

Li Nuo listened to Aya's introduction, took the box and opened it.

Inside were three small stones and a black ring-shaped magazine.

Three stones popped out of the panel:

[Enchanted Gem (Fire)]

[Let the weapon activate fire attribute damage, physical damage will be slightly increased, weapon durability will be slightly reduced, and cannot be used with other attribute gems at the same time]

[Enchanted Gem (Ice)]

[Let the weapon activate ice attribute damage, physical damage will be slightly reduced, and magic damage will be slightly increased. It cannot be used with other attribute gems at the same time]

[Enchanted Gem (Crit)]

[Crit rate increased by 3%]

This thing is for weapons with holes.

Li Nuo's cane happened to have two holes. He actually had an enchanting gem, but that thing was given to him by the Mirror Master.

To be on the safe side, Li Nuo never used it.

To this day, I still see Mirror Master catching me in my dreams, and my resistance to the devil has been deeply imprinted in my soul.

Li Nuo put the gem into his pocket.

Then he looked at the magazine.

[Shotgun Magic Magazine]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: You only need to consume magic power to fire magic bullets with the shotgun, and the power intensity is linked to the original strength of the gun body]

[Brief description: A reminder, the feeling of emptying the magic power is similar to kidney deficiency, so use bullets sparingly]

These things don't look like products of this era.

Li Nuo looked at Aya.

Jacol gave it to you?

Aya stared at Li Nuo with a cautious look in her eyes.

Let me guess, you are looking for Yacol not just to buy weapons, right? At least judging from your appearance, you are not a weapons dealer.

You shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Li Nuo said with a smile.

What's the benefit of telling you? Aya asked.

There are too many reasons why Li Nuo wanted to find Jacol, and it is impossible to explain them all, but the most important thing is the ultimate goal and method:

I have some things that I have to do and I need Jacquel's help. The important thing is that if I complete the task in advance, I might be able to help you find your husband.

Aya laughed: My husband has died a long time ago, a hundred years ago.

Li Nuo was a little surprised.

Judging from the appearance of the receptionist, Aya often found out the procedures for applying to leave the management office. Now that she knew the truth, it all seemed unreasonable.

Aya seemed to see that her contradictory behavior was unexplainable, so she laughed and said, If no one refuses me to go out with legitimate reasons, I might really do something stupid.

Her language is full of incredible rationality.

Artificial beings are far more persistent in things than humans.

Programming is not like memory. As long as the archive exists, its aspects will never fade away.

So using time to heal scars won't work on artificial humans.

At least I can collect your husband's body.

Don't think about it. It's impossible to survive in the Kingdom of Day if you stay in the center of the Kingdom of Night for half a month.

Why?

Aya is confused.

Why don't you even know this?

Li Nuo pointed to his head: The program went wrong and I lost my memory.

Aya: The memory is gone?

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: To be precise, it's not that the memory is gone, it's just that a part of it is missing. The remaining memories tell me that I need to find a person named Yacol and go to York City for a trip. I'm thinking about it. Run to retrieve your memory.”

He gave himself a thumbs up in his mind.

Seamless.

Aya lowered her head, cleared away the waste paper on the table, turned her back and moved the things while saying:

Jacol, I don't know. I only know that she is busy with something in York City.

Even if he didn't say this, Li Nuo also knew it.

No matter how many deviations there are in the script, there are still prototypes for reference.

Jacol in NieR Automata is indeed active in the Kingdom of Darkness. No one knows the specific reason. It is probably because he made Fangyuan and refused to go back, so I won't mention it at all.

It appears once or twice in half a year. Maybe it's because it's relatively close to York City. Jacol appears more frequently, that's all.

Aya turned around and put on a pair of sunglasses.

I see you are carrying a gun. Show it to me and I will make some simple modifications for you.

Li Nuo: Huh?

Aya pointed at Malorian at Li Nuo's waist: That's the pistol, give it to me quickly.

Li Nuo hesitated for a moment and handed Malorian over.

Where did you pick up the gun? It's the first time I've seen this thing. It's much better than the guns of the Resistance Army. Aya put on her gloves and deftly disassembled the pistol. She pressed her fingers on the gun body and turned up her sunglasses to see. Understand the technological magic circle.

Aren't you a seller, and you are also responsible for forging weapons? Li Nuo looked around and didn't see anything related to maintenance.

My husband is the seller. I used to be an auxiliary android that modified weapons for the Resistance Army. Aya was silent for a few seconds and then started talking: In 11830, the Philippine Sea where we are located was captured by mechanical life forms. I He and he were forced to land on the coastline of the Kingdom of Darkness. After something happened, they came to settle in the mining town. The guy still wanted to find his companions at the time. He left here a hundred years ago and said that he would be here in a few months. He came back, but then he didn’t come back, and even fools knew he was dead.”

Li Nuo listened silently.

Once you leave the Kingdom of Darkness, the body will inevitably collapse. Although I tried to stop him, it was to no avail. He was always so confident and thought there would be a way to solve everything, but a rollover would mean death.

Aya's voice was very calm, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

Why does the body collapse? Li Nuo asked. He felt that this matter was related to some special truths in this world.

I don't know. Aya paused for a second and said: I will also feel this way when I enter the Kingdom of Darkness. My body is weak, but after a long time, I will feel that my physical fitness is better than before. But I heard from others , after leaving the Kingdom of Night and arriving at the Kingdom of Day, I feel like I am poisoned.

Poisoned?

Well, it's just like what's written in human records, fever, contagion, and red eyes, but it's not a logical virus, it's more like an energy collapse.

Li Nuo quickly deduced in his mind.

Artificial humans are a product of the combination of magic and technology.

Technological things cannot be infected by human viruses.

But magic does.

For example, starting in 2003, magic elements came to the world.

According to Chabai's description of the ore here, the ore contains trace amounts of toxins, and he deliberately concluded that the minerals used to create artificial humans are poisonous inside.

The ore is like a storage box, sealing the magic of this world - magic element.

Magic element is a type of magic power, but it may contain a curse virus, which caused the destruction of mankind.

After the artificial man entered the Kingdom of Darkness, his body felt strange. After that, his physical condition became better, and he looked like he had been cured...

Li Nuo looked at the weak source of magic power popping out of Aya's fingertips.

Artificial beings can also drive weak magic power, what does it mean...

He lowered his head subconsciously.

Thinking is spreading, occupying the entire brain area.

The source of the magic power of the Kingdom of Night and the Kingdom of Day are two different things. In other words, the magic power of the Kingdom of Night can remove part of the 'poison' in the magic element, but if you return to the Kingdom of Day, the poison in your body will not be the same as the Kingdom of Day. Before……

No, we need to look at it from another angle.

After a person is born, he is born with trace amounts of viruses in his body. The viruses adapt to the body and form an integrated body. Later, there is a space (the Kingdom of Darkness) where the virus can be eliminated if he stays for a long time. When the virus is eliminated, he will be removed from this space. After you go out, viruses from the outside world will find you again. At that time, your body's adaptability is different from before, and it cannot resist virus invasion, and then your body will collapse.

Aya knocked on the table and handed the gun to him.

You quite like thinking?

It's just a bug, I don't like it. Li Nuo took the gun, and something appeared on the panel.

[Malorian Pistol, has been transformed into magic technology]

[Technological upgrade: Bullets can be enchanted, only exclusive cyber pistol bullets]

[A hole has been added, which can be inlaid with various magic gems. Please explore the limitations of the inlay by yourself]

Black technology. Li Nuo asked, Sister, are there any relevant study books?

No, this is a one-time move. Aya shrugged her shoulders and changed the subject: Are you going to York City?

Well, do you have any information? Li Nuo asked.

Aya sorted out her thoughts and said: It is said to be a city, but in fact it is more like a country. Even people from the satellite orbital base cannot intervene in their system. It is a product that is completely outside this world.

It was originally the base camp where aliens came. Later, I don't know what happened, and it was transformed into a city.

It is said that they followed the human social system and established the so-called economic system country.

The people in York City are all guys who want to resolve the war peacefully. Because they are not in line with the requirements of human beings in lunar orbit, there are not many artificial people who switch to them. Most of the people in the Kingdom of Darkness are still old-style artificial people and adventurers like us. constitute.

Aya took out a booklet, which recorded her observation information about the Kingdom of Darkness over the past hundred years:

Correia One is an arms company in York City that sells large-caliber electromagnetic rifles. They were the first batch of artificial humans to break away from serving humanity in AD 4519, and they have a great influence on the entire Kingdom of Night.

It is said that there was friction with the satellite orbiting android army hundreds of years ago, but it has eased a lot in recent years.

Dragoon, the ultimate weapon of the androids wandering around York City. It can be regarded as the last resort for the androids at the satellite orbital base to check and balance York City. I haven't seen that thing before. I heard it is very dangerous.

besides……

Aya suddenly looked serious: From here, going deep into the center of the Kingdom of Darkness is the most dangerous area. It is filled with violent mechanical life forms and there are also some huge beast bones. The best way to go to York City is to take a bus. Rail train, but I don’t know about that thing, you have to find it yourself after crossing the canyon.”

Well...we know very little, so I'm really sorry.

It doesn't matter, these are very important to me. Li Nuo put the gun into the gun bag.

By the way, there's something you have to be careful about. Aya took out a wanted warrant and handed it over, saying: A few days ago, a vicious prison break occurred in York City.

Li Nuo's pupils were startled.

The portrait on the wanted poster is Marger!

Aya: It is said that he is a strange artificial man who has committed a 'hooligan crime'. It is the first time in my life that I have heard of such a crime... It may become a hidden danger. Please be careful.

Li Nuo put the wanted notice into his pocket and asked, Is there a reward for catching him?

It is said that there is. Aya looked towards the door.

The round-headed android who had talked to Li Nuo before walked into the shop.

welcome.

Aya pursed her lips at Li Nuo and said, If there's nothing else, just leave it like this. Don't disturb my business.

Li Nuo opened his pocket watch and took a look. It was still fifteen minutes before the agreed departure time of the cable car.

Thanks.

Well, have a nice trip.

After he left.

Aya then saw a pile of money wrapped in cloth on the table.

Really, I said 2,000, why did you give me so much?

She touched her pocket and found that a fragment of magic ore was missing.

Oh, it turns out he is a thief.

…

The cable car across the canyon is already in place.

Coman helped Li Nuo push the sales cart up, but the tea on the other side arrived late.

Li Nuo turned around and took a look. Cha Bai was wrapped in thick linen, which looked like a cloak, covering his whole body.

What’s wrong with you?

Let's talk about it after we get in the car.

The two of them got on the cable car naturally. Before setting off, Li Nuo checked the rope safety measures to make sure not to fall halfway.

The cable car started slowly.

The deep valley below is deep.

The stars are swirling above.

The journey up to now is gradually becoming unfamiliar.

All settings related to the original work cannot be treated as strategies in the Kingdom of Darkness.

Li Nuo took off his hat, his hair ruffled by the cold wind, and silently turned his head to look at Coman sitting on the other side.

Why did you come with me?

Coleman scratched his head and laughed: I have something to go to the canyon.

Snapped--!

Li Nuo quickly pulled out his gun, put his knee on Coleman and brought him down, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against his eye socket.

I felt something was wrong from the beginning. Even if you imitate the so-called hero's fearlessness, there is no need to walk 200 kilometers with us through a dangerous zone to get here.

The corners of Coleman's mouth were trembling, his pupils were raised, and he was wearing brown-white black-soled leather boots wrapped in a thick cloak.

I'm going to meet someone. She's on the other side of the canyon... You guys are very skilled, and you're not as busy as others, so I just wanted to...

Li Nuo put the gun away.

Koeman's micro-expressions don't lie.

Sorry, I have to be more alert. In fact, I left a sum of money for you in the rest house.

Li Nuo sat back down.

Koeman also slowly got up and sat back down.

Li Nuo, is it okay if I don't kill him? Cha Bai asked in a very calm tone, as if he was asking what to eat today.

Well, if he wants to harm us, he has already taken action. Li Nuo said.

Koeman's heart was pounding with fear. It felt very uncomfortable to be like a piece of meat on a chopping board and being talked about whether he was alive or dead. It was as if he had fallen into the arms of two psychopaths infected with the logic virus.

What's next? Cha Bai said, Are you still considering the main plot?

When Li Nuo was asked this question, he remembered the main mission.

He has indeed thought about this matter...

Whether [Prometheus Fire] or [find a planet and stay for an hour] are not simple things.

Chabai's cure was easier than he imagined. He originally thought he would have to change his body, but a series of imagined contradictions did not happen. This incident alone can tell that the world of the script is different from the original setting of the game.

There are two urgent matters.

Look for Lao Ma and Yacol. Anyway, they are all in York City. Just go there and find out. When everything is over, we will consider what to do with the main plot.

He doesn't like to talk too much, but there are indeed aviation rockets in this world. When he gets to the city, he can find a way to build one, and maybe he can complete one of the main lines.

Li Nuo took out a piece of ore fragment and threw it to Cha Bai.

Try to feel it again. Is this thing made of poisonous magic?

Cha Bai touched the angular stone and said without hesitation: Yes, there must be some kind of particles containing viruses in it.

That would confirm that the magic power in the ore is indeed magic element, which is one of the essential energy sources for building artificial humans.

Li Nuo lowered his head and thought in his mind.

In other words, the androids at the orbital satellite base, which are the same anti-machine life force troops as the Yorha Force, should have arranged more than just Dragoon activities in the Kingdom of Darkness.

The most important thing to be wary of now is the Yorha troops that may appear at any time.

It would be dangerous if they locked onto Cha Bai's position.

Brother, can I ask, who is that Jacol? Koeman suddenly asked: I don't mean anything else, but the girl named Jacol doesn't look like anything special.

Cha Bai nodded: Tell me about it, I want to know too.

Li Nuo organized his thoughts and started talking.

Jacol is theoretically a special artificial human being produced after the end of human civilization. There is more than one of her, there are many, many individuals. She has the ability to travel through time and space. She travels around various time nodes, looking for ways to save mankind. way of extinction.”

…

What a strange guest, right?

The android with the round head naturally sat on the chair, as if he were at home.

Yes. Aya smiled.

The android asked: It seems to me that you put the gun chip left by your husband into his gun?

Aya hummed: He was the first person to say, 'I'll help you find your husband's body.' Isn't it very different? I can see the shadow of my husband in him.

Tsk tsk tsk~

Don't think blindly! Aya shouted: The chip he left behind is just a thought, but being imprisoned all the time will inevitably lead to loneliness... just like him...

In Aya's mind is the shadow of her late husband.

It's better to have someone walking around with that chip than having me with you all the time.

…

Cha Bai: Traveling through time and space sounds a lot like Ancient Blood.

Coleman: Huh? Ancient blood? What the hell?

Li Nuo smiled and said: It's not that simple. To put it simply, the world is divided into dozens of parallel time and space lines. Yacol wanders in multiple lines, observing the unfolding of various stories, and exploring ways to save mankind.

Coleman muttered: Are you telling some novel?

Cha Bai said seriously: Mr. Coleman, listen to him.

Koeman shut up. The Jacol in his mind was really an ordinary artificial man.

Li Nuo continued: In Cavalry on Dragon's Back 3, there is an ending line where Jacquel appeared. She said something at the time... The history after the great disaster, when put together, is called the 'singularity'. Under special conditions, time divergence will occur and lead to the phenomenon of multi-worlds. In human terms, it is called parallel worlds.

…

By the way, why are you wearing sunglasses?

Oh, this. Aya took off the maintenance sunglasses, put them on the table, and said, There is always a feeling that if the eyes are not blocked, that kid can distinguish the truth from lies.

You really worked hard.

It's not just for you, we signed a confidentiality agreement. Aya said: As a direct supplier, I cannot disclose any information related to you.

Haha, that's true. The android took off its round head, revealing the appearance of a girl with glasses.

Aya smiled and said: Jacol, you came here suddenly, isn't it because of me?

Jacol crossed his legs, tiptoed, and said with a smile, It's for that masked boy.

Aya was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, Mask boy? Huh? What abilities does he have?

…

We are the 'Recorders'... responsible for the continual recording of everything from the past to the future, at the behest of the people who inhabit what you call the 'Old World'.

Li Nuo lowered his head and recalled.

These are the words that Jacol once said.

Cha Bai, do you know why I haven't told you the truth about this world?

Why, why?

Ha! Because it's so fucking messy! Li Nuo gritted his teeth and said with dead eyes: Since the catastrophic phenomenon of 856 in Riders on Dragon's Back 3, three parallel lines have appeared in the world. Along the time and space lines, there are thirty-two serious story developments, but there is only one ending, the infinite reincarnation of death in the world.

…

I am observing the direction of different stories in three parallel time and space lines, always looking for the answer to one thing.

Yacol lowered his head and whispered:

About 335 years ago, a group of outsiders came to York City. This is a new story line I observed. The most different thing about this line is that the outsiders brought York where mechanical life forms and artificial humans coexisted. city.

What kind of extraterrestrial visitor? Aya poured a glass of water and handed it to Jacquel.

Well...it's a newly discovered space-time line that I recently discovered. Yacol took a sip of water and put the cup on the table: There are a large number of travelers from the outside world on that space-time line. They are not considered human beings, but they are similar to humans. Almost the same.

Isn't it time for you to fix your head? Aya frowned. She couldn't understand what the time and space line was about.

…

Coman smiled and reminded: Brother, you won't be able to tell this story for that long. The cable car will reach the end in about fifteen minutes.

Just think of it as art creation.

Li Nuo replied, and then began to say:

Humanity was destroyed because of magic, and special artificial humans were created because of magic. Yacol is one of them.

Cha Bai nodded: What does this have to do with what we are going to do?

Li Nuo: It has nothing to do with the main line, but... maybe we can find something to win at the starting line based on the world line.

The secrets about Yakel are 'valuable'? Chabai said in a human tone.

Li Nuo nodded: We have just unlocked the first scenario after level 25. Discover more things and win at the starting line. This is the real main line for you, me and Lao Ma. Never be bound by the framework.

…

Aya, what do you think is the biggest difference between us and humans? Yacol suddenly asked.

Well... your question is too sudden. Aya was a little embarrassed.

Make plans, change the rules, never sit still, and always take the initiative. Jacol took a sip of water and smiled: This is human beings.

I don't understand. Aya continued to fiddle with her things: You haven't said yet why you should pay attention to that masked boy.

Do you know P33? Jacol asked.

The god of mechanical life forms? Aya reacted quickly.

Well, since the emergence of P33, a large number of mechanical life forms have developed self-awareness, but most of them live in clusters. After years of ideological evolution, they can disconnect from the Internet and then find their own 'life'. Ya Col paused and said, Recently, there was a little mechanical guy who was looking for information related to art and painting, and he also started to ask other mechanical life forms an interesting question.

Why do we have to fight to the death with the androids?

Ah? Aya was stunned: Is this a short circuit on one of the lines?

No. Yacol said: That little guy calls himself the 'Mind's Eye', and the person who passed on these consciousnesses to it is a man-made man.

Aya stopped subconsciously in her hand: What?

Yes. Yacol nodded: That's the guy with the mask just now.

She stood up and stretched: I am a record officer. It is necessary to pay attention to things that can bring about changes. He was chosen by me. I want to see what the future will look like.

Aya was confused: You call this character introduction, right? Mr. Recorder, okay, don't add drama to yourself, tell me what's new?

Yacol took out something that looked like a remote control and pointed it at Aya.

What's this?

I found something by chance. Let me take a look... Aya, you have very little magic power. You should be able to use it to erase certain memories of yours... Yacol adjusted the remote control.

With a snap, he aimed at Aya and pressed the button. The light flashed and Aya's eyes became cloudy.

When she looked at Jacol again, it was as if she had met him for the first time today.

Jacol, why are you here?

I've got a new batch of goods.

…

Li Nuo took out the kettle and took a big sip.

The mining town had disappeared into the night.

The clock on the cable car showed that we would reach the other shore in less than five minutes.

Li Nuoxu said with eyes: Well, I'm lucky for now...at least I haven't fallen off the cable car yet.

Coman tilted his head aside. He couldn't understand the timeline or Jacol's secret at all. He muttered to himself: The Jacol you are talking about is too evil. The one I know is a bit reckless and funny. Just a little girl.

Funny? How funny? Li Nuo was confused.

Koeman said with a smile: Sometimes he wears a big round head and says he doesn't want others to see his face, so he dresses up in a more personalized way.

Li Nuo: Huh?

Koeman: What's wrong?

Li Nuo immediately turned around, his eyes widening.

That round head is...Jacol!

Suddenly, both he and Chabai heard the system prompt:

[The hidden story line is being updated...]

[Fragment information has been collected: Yacol, Mosu]

[The hidden story line Tidal Lock has been updated]

[Please go to York City and find the entrance to the sill]

Li Nuo's eyes widened in disbelief: Chabai!

Wait a minute! Another mission update appeared on Chabai's side.

[Endless Corridor Side Mission: Changing Destiny 2B/Cha Bai]
