When dealing with Seele at the moment, Kong actually had the illusion that he was interacting with Gehenna's students - Seele seemed to have replicated the tolerance of those shy girls, and was very valuable for "interaction".
This girl said that she wanted Sora's body, but in fact she had only seen pigs run and had never eaten pork.
"..."
Hearing this, Xier fell silent, and returned to her crossed-legged posture, not daring to attack Kong any further - she now began to understand that any attack she did could be considered a reward to Kong... She couldn't let him get away with it too easily.
"Oh, I found it." Seeing that Xier had entered a completely new field, Kong was not in a hurry to let her "broaden her horizons". He concentrated on pressing the engine's door twice.
"Boom!!"
It was not known whether it had anything to do with Kong's metaphysical hammering just now, or whether he had already located the entrance, but had delayed it for a while because he wanted to chat with Xier more. On the left cheek of the Creation Engine, near the position of the humanoid ear transceiver, an airtight door dented inward, and Kong and the snow pile fell into the robot's head.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Seeing Kong duck and fall into the cranial cavity, Xier subconsciously stretched out her leg, which she originally didn't want to continue rewarding Kong, as a grabbing point for him. Unexpectedly, Kong didn't grab her leg, and she kicked Kong instead, causing his body to sink.
"Oh, it was fine at first, but you almost broke the wiring with your kick—"
Sora pushed his cheek against the sole of Seele's boot, demonstrating exactly what "cheeky" meant, and bounced her upwards with just his facial muscles.
"There is something fishy going on inside."
Under Xier's subtle gaze, he stepped on a data cable that looked as thick as a cable and walked on a "tightrope" in the cranial cavity.
He took out a fluorescent stick and threw it down. With the light from the falling ground, he confirmed that the depth between the upper head and the bottom was more than 20 meters. An ordinary person would at least be severely injured if he fell down.
"Is the space down there so big? And it's actually a bit... empty."
"I guess it's the space reserved for additional modules, the result of rushing the work. If this thing is used in combat... it doesn't seem to be particularly qualified. It lacks complex intelligence gathering devices."
Kong only took a few glances and could tell from the pitch-black interior details how hastily the city builders had fought the legion. It should have been filled with various practical modules, but in the end it was only equipped with the simplest processors that were beneficial to engineering and warfare. The lack of a sliding slot also proved this helpless urgency.
The synesthesia beacon translated the text on some devices near the central axis of the head - it was not the common language used by the company, but was very close to the Russian-like font that was currently circulated in Beloberg.
"'Tunnel boring machine integrated board', 'line repeater', they are all here."
Kong waved to Xier and said, "Come down and help me find the place that looks like the 'interface'. Strangely, its energy supply system is not broken and it's quite warm inside."
"…Are we already inside the robot's brain?"
Xier also landed on the dense "steel cables" and stared at the command center of the creation engine with excitement.
"Wow, stop swaying!"
Standing on the same cable with her, Sora panicked uncharacteristically.
"Hey, you are so good at fighting, are you afraid of falling? Ha——" Xier smiled happily.
"I'm worried that you might break the transmission line and it won't be repairable!"
"..."
Xier suddenly became stern-faced.
However, the shrewd momentum of the science and engineering man came and went quickly. He pointed at the only two light sources in the skull cavity.
"Watch your step. Do you want me to help you?"
"no."
Xier snorted, took two leaps, and flew from the cable to the location of the central processor, taking a step forward to look at this miracle of civilization.
What first attracted her attention was not the heat sink that emitted a faint blue light, but a piece of paper that was abruptly stuck on the loop near the point where her footsteps rested, like the top and bottom of a cocktail shaker.
"Hey, there's a note stuck here."
"...Note? Wait till I get there."
Kong quickly stopped Xier from taking it off.
"…'My dear, the people of Misty have prepared a little surprise for you. I have also prepared a gift for them in return. I just need your cooperation.'"
Sora squinted his eyes and realized that the note was actually a reminder letter written in the local language with an ambiguous address.
He had just muttered a few words when the opening above his head made a sound of airtight closure, and the external light source was suddenly cut off.
"? Did you close it?"
Xier raised her head slightly, and because she knew that Kong could take her out of the enclosed space at any time, she remained quite calm.
"It certainly wasn't me... This trap is too stupid - the Riddler didn't think he could trap us just by blocking one door, did he?"
Sora scoffed, but also found it a little funny.
He lowered his head again, and after confirming the tone of the note, he thought of the beautiful purple-haired rememberer wearing a headscarf.
"Oh. Maybe it was left to us by Black Swan... There's a huge difference between her and the Messenger's styles. Are they really colleagues?"
"What's written on it?"
"'The Incinerator and the Riddler are trying to stop you from spreading your knowledge throughout the galaxy, but I don't think you will listen to any of their advice. After reading their threatening letter, use this giant's skull as a stage for your passionate dance with Miss Seele.'"
Sora raised an eyebrow and continued reading, "'...I know this is absurd, but I have to use absurdity to fight against the incinerator's ability to burn memories. In order to protect Miss Seele's memory, I believe everything is worth it.'"
"What do you mean?" Xier was full of question marks.
"I'm not so sure... does she want us to make love inside the Creation Engine's head?" The corners of Sora's mouth twitched wildly.
The tone of Black Swan here is a bit solemn and a bit joyful, but it doesn't sound like a memory believer.
"...?"
The emotion in the girl's eyes could no longer be called doubt. She must have been confused by this ridiculous proposal:
"…If she dared to make such a suggestion to me in person, I would definitely open her skull to see if there were any worms inside."
Xier lifted her hair, but her eyes wandered as she began to look around the environment of this damn place - it didn't look like a good place to talk to each other.
"The Rememberers' methods are a bit evil, and in a sense we are the bugs in the brain of the Creation Engine... Let's take a look at what's hidden in the processor before contacting the messenger."
Sora put the letter aside for now:
"I used my psychic power to contact the messenger and asked her to help ask Black Swan about the situation."
"Why the messenger?"
"I don't have Black Swan's contact information. She said she would show up when necessary... to maintain her unique memory aesthetics." Kong Yi shrugged.
"Aren't you Yi Ting's big client? Is that her attitude?"
"I am still the Lord of Destruction! Didn't the Void Soldier hold back when he beat me?"
Even though he was complaining like this, Sora still followed the other party's instructions and found the writing location -
The interface is right below the sticky note, which is a really good place to put it.
...After piercing the Silver Wolf's reader, the first thing that popped up on the hologram was not the activation code, but a paragraph of words pieced together with various characters like a newspaper clipping.
[The secret of the tree of imaginary numbers cannot be known. ]
[We will no longer piece together the broken sounds and go against our original intention. If you are willing to keep the "secret", we will not be your enemy, and all previous offenses will be made up. ]
[You can trust the actors, but be careful with the scales. ]
[Bu Li Ren is a gift of sincerity to you, remember that it is unknown so that it can continue. 】
Honestly, this was the first time Sora had seen the "mystery" left by the Riddler in real life.
The wording and sentence structure have already become their "plain language", which is indeed contrary to the usual style of the riddle maker.
After a brief text flashed by, the code of the creation engine was completely deconstructed by Silver Wolf.
As a Q-version image of a silver wolf blowing bubble gum emerged, the creation engine entered a pre-startup state from a "suspended death" state - blue light flowed through the pipelines, making the central processing unit, which had originally been a little chilly, feel a little warm.
"The remaining energy is 0.3%... Doesn't this mean that I can only wait for it?"
Kong thought that the Creation Engine that was waving its big fists and fighting with Shadow in the simulated universe was driven by its own reactor energy, but now he was sure that the development of that simulation was definitely influenced by the parameters of the Arbitrator's actions - he didn't know if the letter left by the Riddler was also confirming his guess in disguise.
"…What do these people mean?"
Xier has never felt that she has not read enough books as she does today. She understood every word in the message just now, but when they were put together, they brought her infinite confusion.
"It's nothing important."
Kong Dan said angrily: "These guys have their own ulterior motives, but they can't do anything to us. Anyway, they can't beat us head-on, so we can only be petty. Don't pay any attention to them. Let's go back and see if we can'recharge this big guy."
"Oh, so we don't have to follow the Rememberer's advice?" Xier actually looked a little regretful.
"?Are you serious?"
Just as he was about to teleport Xier, Kong Leng's back froze when he heard her say that.
"...I just thought about it carefully just now and felt that it would be more exciting to do so."
Xi'er didn't say this out loud, but she felt her body getting a little hot - in fact, it was the processor of the Creation Engine that started to become active, and the heat from the heat sink gave her the illusion that she was aroused:
"Black Swan said to be careful of incinerators... And even among your female companions, few of them have shared such... 'unique' memories with you, right?"
290. You smell good
Although Seele in his memory had undergone training and acquired improvements equivalent to that of a Valkyrie, the core that drove her body was no longer a human organ. She did not need a lot of muscles and overly strong bones to support explosive tactical movements, nor would she become rough due to growth. Whenever Kong recalled the time he spent with her, he would always think of the words "soft" and "extensible".
I remembered her lying on her side in my arms, staring at me with eyes that wavered like water. I remembered her arms wrapped around me, the skin on her forearms seemed transparent, and it might break if I pinched it lightly. The touch was softer than a pillow, and the wind she blew on my face seemed to have the scent of shyness.
She liked to walk barefoot on the beach, gently stirring up the sea water. When a crab accidentally pinched her toes, she was not injured, but she sat down on the sand pitifully, splashing a few bubbles of water in order to deliberately be intimate with the captain, waiting for Kong to come and check on her, asking about her well-being, and raising her intact, round, jade-like feet in her hopeful eyes, and meticulously letting him check them.
By the time Kong realized he had been tricked, it was already too late. The other Valkyries looked over here with envy and jealousy, but he was trapped in Xier's gentle trap, enjoying the rich feeling in his hands and not wanting to escape.
She may have done it intentionally or unintentionally, but using this not-so-pure method to monopolize the captain for a moment was the most despicable move she could think of.
She seemed to be the incarnation of pure love in her school days. Occasionally, one could sense her little scheming in her arguments and reconciliations with Bronya, although that was probably caused by her inner personality.
But these memories were ultimately brought to him by Seele from the Collapse world. Here, in the robot's head, the isomorphic Seele was not as soft, but she was very elastic, with amazing toughness and heat, like the marrow of the earth.
She was a girl raised by underground laborers, a fighter, strong enough to fight back against this damn world before she developed a personality to protect her body and mind.
Without a Herrscher core and scientific training, everything about her reflects the heat and roughness of the underground.
But the moment the skin brushed past his nose, Kong realized that some people's talents were really unreasonable. They were able to ignore the reshaping of the environment and retain many overly beautiful things - just like this dew-covered skin that slid past him. She should not have come from a mine, but seemed to be a masterpiece from the palace or the sky.
Is this the second dimension? Love it.
Working for a bunch of overly "real" clients, the devastated Kong has had enough of this dark and cruel world, where he can't even find a few living people who can speak normally after a long journey.
The girls in this world also possessed some surreal and beautiful qualities, just like the girls in Teyvat, so he didn't have to scratch his head and worry about whether the beautiful girls would spit out rainbows.
