Idle game leads to another world

Behind the gate, a red-robed humanoid kneels at the far end. I don’t know if it is a human being or how long it has been kneeling. It is like a sculpture, but humble and pious.

"Is that a person?"

"I don't know, be careful if you get closer."

The enhanced vision provided by Alyssa's implant could not analyze whether it was a living creature. The two of them drew their pistols and used the marble pillars in this corridor to alternately cover their advance.

In this inexplicable situation, it's better to be careful.

There are a large number of stained glass windows on both sides of the corridor, and complex binary codes are printed on each piece of glass.

Gold and red banners were hung at both ends of the corridor. They were so shabby that they had been almost destroyed by time, and their original appearance could only be barely recognized.

It must have existed here for a long time, and no one has maintained it for a long time.

But this does not mean that it is safe. Alyssa has been to many ancient void ruins. The more unmaintained the place, the more traps there may be.

But there are no traps here. The two people's operations are purely a battle of wits and courage with the air.

Walking through the long corridor, they were getting closer and closer to the figure in red robe.

The other party remained motionless, without any reaction. Only the bright Nixie tube light from behind reflected on his red robe unchanged.

Alyssa took out a coin and flicked it towards the other party.

The coins jingled, but there was still no reaction from the other party.

The sound of the coin hitting them didn't sound like a living person, so the two of them dared to slowly walk out from behind the stone pillar as a cover.

The details are not so clear when viewed from a distance, but when viewed up close.

——There are too many details.

The red robe, like the banners hanging in the corridor, was in a state of tatters. It was more like a ball of dark red mud than a piece of clothing.

Alyssa stood on the side of the humanoid object and hit its head with the barrel of the gun, which sent back the echo of metal collision.

"Maybe this is some kind of magic machine? A golem?"

Fang Lanyin shook her head and said:

"The size is not very similar, but if it is a golem, it seems to be too big."

Looking to the left and right sides, there are two huge metal doors respectively, but the door panels are tightly sealed, and the traces of welding can be clearly seen.

At the end of the corridor is a huge Nixie tube that is as tall as a person. It is still glowing, but other than that there is nothing else here.

She was sent to such a ghost place inexplicably, and she couldn't find anyone who could talk about what was going on. Alyssa scratched her head irritably, and Fang Lanyin said:

"Help me be vigilant. I'll rip off the rags from this guy's body and take a look."

Fang Lanyin immediately raised her pistol and took aim. Even if she only knew how to shoot, it was impossible to miss at such a close distance.

Seeing that Fang Lanyin was ready, Alyssa reached out and lifted it.

The long-rotted red robe was easily torn into pieces, as fragile as catkins. Under the thin smoke that spread, a hideous and terrifying mechanical skull appeared there.

This startled Fang Lanyin, and she almost pulled the trigger.

"Don't worry, my judgment just now may be wrong. This may really be a person."

As she spoke, Alyssa tore off all the pieces of the humanoid's robe.

Without the layer of red robe, the humanoid object kneeling on the ground is completely like a Terminator. Almost all parts of the body are made of metal. It is just kneeling on the ground facing the door, with the head lowered in prayer. shape.

At this time, Fang Lanyin also calmed down a little. She put down the gun slightly, looked down and said:

"Boss, look at his abdomen. There are artificial internal organs. This is a modified human with a very high mechanization rate."

If it were a pure robot, there would be no need to create such things as internal organs.

And what Fang Lanyin found was not only artificial internal organs, she also saw traces of multiple transformations.

This shows that the initial mechanization rate of this person was not so high, but as time went by, various parts of the body were replaced with machines little by little, and eventually he became like this Terminator.

This kind of mechanized transformation is irreversible. The advantage is that it can greatly extend the life, but there are disadvantages.

It will slowly lose its humanity.

What's more, no matter how it is modified, the brain cannot be replaced, so basically no one will use this method to extend their life. The shortcomings are too obvious.

Speaking of machinery, Fang Lanyin was not sleepy, but Fang Lanyin was obviously not as courageous as Alyssa.

Fang Lanyin only dared to observe from a distance of one or two meters, while Alyssa came directly to the man's head and blew with her mouth.

The dust is blown away, revealing a dust-proof opening.

Alyssa pulled out another cable from the personal terminal, and inserted the universal plug made of magic mercury into the dust-proof port.

As the personal terminal made a subtle running sound, it began to read the remaining data in the mechanical body.

After all, there is only one suspicious thing here, and we might be able to find clues on how to get back.

"The confidentiality level of this person's implants is very high. There are traces of systematic cleaning. Almost no useful information is left."

"It's probably set to automatically format on death."

Fang Lanyin heard this and said:

"If I had special equipment, I could try to recover the data, but not now."

The personal terminal was still reading, and Alyssa's eyes passed over a lot of garbled characters that could not be put together into a sentence, until the personal terminal made a beep sound.

"There is still a document left, which should be left intentionally."

Alyssa operated a few times on the personal terminal and opened the document.

The text recorded in the document also appeared a lot of garbled characters, but some of it could still be barely read.

'We did it and paved the way for the arrival of our Lord. My brothers and sisters and I were ecstatic. Although this will be a very long wait, each of us is full of hope'

'The remnants of the Mechanicus once passed by here. We held back and did not destroy them. We have to wait for the Lord to come'

'Time seems to be getting slower and slower. We pray day after day, even if there is no response, but each of us knows that the Lord will eventually come. This is the guidance of fate'

'How long has it been? I don't know. My brothers and sisters have died one by one, but I won't. I will continue to wait'

'Lord, it seems that I can't see you coming, but it doesn't matter. I, we don't regret guarding for you. May your sacred current accept me'

There are only a few sentences that can be recognized in the document. Alyssa and Fang Lanyin looked at each other and felt puzzled.

"It sounds like these people are guarding something, but what exactly is it?"

Complete mechanization is very painful. Not to mention the pain of multiple surgeries, the brain cannot be replaced, and after the transformation is completed, the brain suffers from phantom limb pain every moment.

Since drugs no longer work on the mechanical body, there is no way to relieve this torture.

So the current mechanization rate will not exceed 60%.

So, what kind of mission makes this person stay here at all costs, endure unimaginable pain, and prolong his life as much as possible?
