That strange resonance phenomenon had already occurred once when they took out the experimental report.

"It looks like someone wants to interrupt our date."

"Then chop them up."

Xier was in high spirits and her speech was as fierce as ever.

"What a pity - if they had discovered the Creation Engine a long time ago, they would have definitely tampered with it. And there were no guards left here. I tend to think that it was just an automatically triggered trap."

"Tsk."

The two of them spun all the way to the small slope on the chest of the Creation Engine without losing any momentum.

"Since you know that someone has tampered with you, do you still want to go there?"

"Even if it's an open conspiracy, we have to take the initiative to step on it, otherwise it would be a waste of their carefully laid trap."

Sora's overconfidence was enough to make any level designer feel uncomfortable. Speaking in a jargon that made Seer confused, he pointed at the head of the Creation Engine with a four-petal viewfinder embedded in it and said, "...as long as they don't put three dogs on the platform in front to block the road."

The code that Silver Wolf prepared in advance was based on the ancient Beloberg system, which was the system that the company had seven hundred years ago. Even if an external uplink is found, it may not be effective. To be on the safe side, it is better to connect directly to the hardware.

In other words, they need to find the computing entrance and control terminal of the creation engine.

"The chest seams are tight, and it doesn't look like they can be disassembled - it can't be like the Gundam with the 'cockpit' on the waist... No, this is the layout of the Mesa, and the collector and transmitter and receiver are really concentrated in the head."

I don’t know if it’s because there’s only one trap, or the people who went before didn’t have time to set up too many dirty things, but the two of them climbed up to the top of the Creation Engine without any obstacles. If I had to say something unexpected happened—

Xier was not happy about the fact that her shoes were not suitable for working on overly smooth metal.

After she was freed from Kong's support, she found that it was difficult to find a foothold on this big guy - although it was only difficult to use the force to suddenly chop people... She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about the "harsh words" she had just said.

So she calmly accepted Sora's next invitation to dance, letting him pinch and guide her hand as she climbed to another flange-hammer-like peak.

"There are absolutely no detachable parts or seams... Are you sure it's here?"

"That's right. Because the transceiver must reduce the risk of interference from surrounding energy and also facilitate heat dissipation, it is generally designed to be far away from the engine that provides energy—"

Kong squatted on top of the engine and banged on it, but even so he only banged on it with one hand, as his other hand never let go of Xier.

Although this would be a bit inconvenient, the main purpose of this adventure was not to take care of the big guy under him, so it would be the same if he handed it over to someone else - but Xier could not be left to be served by other girls.

"Found it. The pop-up seam - it's well sealed, rough but delicate."

"I feel like you're familiar with this stuff."

"After all, I'm a fan of large robots. Oh, look at these solid lines. Old Yang will absolutely love them."

"I haven't met the Ji Zi and Lao Yang you mentioned - are they... your elders? Every time before you make an important decision, you say you have to go back and ask for their opinions first."

Xier hesitated for a moment, which was rare.

She wondered how the people in charge on the train would react if she insisted on intervening in Sora's life.

"There are very few people I can call elders... But they do have the aura of elders. If I must say, are they close friends of the same age?"

After hearing what she said, Kong also began to think about his own position in Ji Zi.

However, compared to the girls who were now being ambiguous with him, Kong actually didn't want, and could even be said to be afraid that Jiko would have expectations of him that went beyond friendship.

It's not just that he is afraid that the train will be completely transformed into a cannon car and the last strong woman with independent consciousness will fall. He is afraid that he will sink into the shadow of the past again and evoke some memories that Yi Ting will not take the initiative to look at.

"Xier, you said you wanted to stay underground forever, and then you were so active in inquiring about the situation of the train... Are you tempted? Want to take an interstellar journey?" Putting aside his own little hesitation, Kong felt that Xier was very suitable to be an unknown guest.

"Although I may never use this opportunity... Never mind, just think of it as me hesitating between choosing to stay in my hometown and living with you." But Xier herself is still hesitating, and it can be seen that she has a greater sense of responsibility.

...So was it still me who was the source of the urge to get on the bus?

He was just complaining on an empty stomach, but since the girl cared so much about her friends and relatives in the underground world, he would not take the opportunity to make fun of her.

"...Don't you feel awkward that you have to lead me to find a gap? How about this, I'll go up and give you some fresh air. The head should be able to stand firmly. Anyway, Lao Li and the others have retreated, so there's no need to gather at six o'clock. Just concentrate on finishing the work first, and then I'll take you to a good place to warm up."

Seeing that Kong had not found the entrance to the internal space of the Creation Engine head for a long time, Xier thought that Kong was holding her back and slowing down the progress, so she took the initiative to break free from his hand.

This girl's behavior is full of contradictions, but it is precisely because she is adjusting back and forth between herself and the person she likes that she has "repeated entanglements."

"Hey, Sora, just chatting won't affect your search for the 'door', right?"

Sitting on the top of the creation engine, Xier's eyes were no longer fixed on Kong. She scanned everything in the rolling snow fog, trying to determine whether there was any danger, but her words were still lively.

It was still that contradictory - she was afraid that she would interfere with Kong's work, but she was also afraid that Kong would completely ignore her, so she could only use this method to "have the best of both worlds."

"No - in fact, dating you is the most important thing. Restarting this machine is just for the sake of numbers."

"It's useless even if you try to please me, ok?"

After all, I already like you very much - do you want me to fall further for your sweet words?

Her face flushed, and she deliberately moved her surveillance range further away from the place where Kong was working. Then she found a place without snow and sat down, crossing her legs and swinging them to hide her accelerated heartbeat.

"...Why don't you believe me when I tell you the truth..." Kong knocked on the engine's head twice in pain.

"As punishment for your glib tongue - I can't be the only one feeling bad, tell me about your old flame who looks so much like me?"

"Huh? Why are you interested in your own counterpart from another world?"

"What do you mean by 'also'? Nata has already asked you?" Xier keenly caught the details in Kong's words.

I say, can you guys not use your IQ to explode when you catch cheating and target your love rivals? You should join the genius club.

Kong sighed in his heart: "She asked. This time you broke the tacit agreement not to talk about other women. Are we even now?"

"Tell me quickly, I'm very interested." At this moment, Xi'er seemed to have entered a wonderful state where she could accept all of Kong's flaws and secrets...

It might not be quite right to say that she was a bit of a fangirl, but her tolerance level had indeed increased a lot.

A girl with a hot temper but a strong sense of life - from this, Kong defined Xier above his head.

She does have some similarities with Xier, whom he knew in another world... But whether it is "Black Xier" or "White Xier", their personalities and natures have been deeply changed by their living environment and the people around them.

Every girl who can attract him is a miracle of the universe and the world, built by the most beautiful coincidence. He doesn't want both parties to develop a strange competitive mentality.

"You are completely different in the way you treat others - the common point is that you both choose to protect others as your goal... I don't believe in fate, but maybe this is the connection of fate."

"Oh, that sounds like a nice guy."

"In fact, you are more like her inner personality, advocating violence but very strong - forgive me for using this comparison, after all, you were the one who brought it up."

"...Inside and outside personality, dual personality? I've only seen this kind of mental problem on Nata's medical record... I don't deny that I have a bit of violent tendencies, but Oleg wants my skills. Didn't you fight with Swarovski before you convinced him?"

Xier seemed to really want to understand the difference between her and the other girl, and turned back: "You haven't finished yet - which side of her do you like more? Is it the side that is like me?"

"Will you beat me if I say I like you?"

"Greedy fellow, I already know how greedy you are - but you must give me a definite answer."

Xier snorted, and just then Kong found the gap and crawled under her feet. She gently kicked Kong's shoulder with her heel as if in a scolding tone, and regarded the dirtying of his windbreaker and the kicking behavior as a kind of fun: "I'm asking which one you like more, gentle or strong? You must choose one, there is no middle option."

"...Gently?" Kong was ready to be kicked away by Xier.

"...Ha, now I'm sure you only tell the truth, but why am I still a little angry?"

Xier was both angry and amused, so she stepped a little harder.

"No, no, no, her inner personality always pops up to scare me, like yelling 'Captain, you hurt Xier!' in the middle of the show."

Kong begged for mercy: "This habit of kicking and stepping on me is very similar - really!"

289. Oh! God of Fun!

Feeling Xier's deliberately increased leg strength, Kong knew that she was not really angry because of his honest words.

Life underground made her stubborn and violent, but fortunately, the hard life did not make her grow up in a crooked way, nor did it create a tragic dual personality like in the other world, which made Kong feel relieved.

At least he didn't have to worry about Xier looking so cute one second and asking him about his well-being in a sweet voice, and then her eyes sparkling in the next second, and suddenly coming over to him with a joking look and whispering in his ear, "Captain, is it fun to bully Xier?" This was a development that could make his heart stop.

"Are you asking about your peers to find out what I like about you?"

Sora joked:

"You are fine as you are now—"

"Tsk... Even if you don't praise me, I won't go out of my way to learn from another Xi'er."

Xier leaned on her head and said, "She is gentle and considerate. That's just her. If you couldn't accept me, you wouldn't have met me in private."

"You're right."

Although she is a little overly self-conscious, Kong actually appreciates this kind of stubbornness that is not easily influenced by external factors. She is willing to stick to this stubbornness even towards the man she likes. This is the original Xier.

But thinking about it this way, Seele, who has been promoted to Herrscher, seems to have similar qualities.

Ever since she escaped from the Quantum Sea, she has been pursuing the idea of ​​protecting everyone - of course, her paranoia towards the captain and Bronya is also a headache for her... It can be said that this is another form of stubbornness.

The word "Honkai" prefix of Party A's system made Kong shudder when he first arrived at the local area. At present, it seems that in addition to the appearance of some isotopes and familiar faces who have traveled through time and space, there are more potential connections between the two that have not been explored.

The inertia of fate still exists, as reflected in the bond between Seele and Bronya, in their "solo" start, and in their meeting with the "Captain", but these are all good aspects.

As for Cocolia, it seems that she can still occasionally regain her self-control for a moment. If conditions permit, Sora will not let Bronya lose her mother again.

…Although it may sound strange to say this, Sora hopes that these familiar yet different faces will not have to go through suffering again…

Presumably, Xier in another world wouldn't mind the captain helping her counterpart in another world to live a better life... Of course, if she heard that the captain was going to seduce her counterpart, she would inevitably be jealous.

"Why did you stop? Did I step too hard?" Seeing that Kong no longer lowered his head and stared at her thoughtfully, Xier became a little embarrassed.

Although she enjoyed the man's gaze from bottom to top, she didn't know what it meant to be a queen, and she wasn't that far ahead in XP...

"No, I just want to say that it would be better if you took off your shoes before stepping on it. It would be like giving me a massage."

"…Have you become so shameless?"

Xier was somewhat stunned by Kong's preference for "congee etiquette", as if she was frightened.

This attitude of being able to control one's emotions at will - should we say that he is worthy of being a guy who has connections with everyone in the car?

Just now she was still a little worried whether it would be too offensive to step on the other person's shoulders as a means of flirting, but this was actually a relatively fresh taste for Kong, which fully demonstrated the confusion and depth of the man.

He has been turned into a big melting pot by a woman with even more filthy thoughts and personalities. His compatibility is so strong that Xier's little evil tastes are not considered pranks to him.

"Have you noticed that your choice of words has become more sophisticated since you met me?"

As if he didn't notice Xier's disgusted expression, Kong patted her ankle, not minding the snow water stuck on it at all.

"Damn it, I really want to kick you to death."

"This is not the place. Didn't you say you would take me to a location of your choice? You can keep kicking me until night."
