Chapter 190 Keyhole 3rd
"...Not for the enemy?" Hui Yuanchu asked curiously, "What kind of shackles are they? Why are they imposed on me?"

Oroku Aoi continued painting behind the drawing board and explained at the same time: "The keyhole self-explosion mechanism is not, as you think, an order that can be given flexibly, but an imprinted order. It can satisfy the triggering conditions. , there are only two situations.

"First, in order to prevent leaks, if it is confirmed that the installer falls into the hands of the enemy and dies, the keyhole will be destroyed by itself. For example, this time, this is the case when the keyhole on your old body exploded.

“The second case is more ambiguous… ‘endangerment to humanity’.

"This judgment of 'endangering humanity' is not a simple killing. For example, killing a Crusader during an operation will not result in any punishment. There are even cases of people in power with bad personalities deliberately expanding the victimized area for fun during operations. It has not been obliterated." Zorokui thought for a while and said, "The cases of triggering laws that I know about mainly fall into two categories: those in power who disintegrated into evil spirits, and those who betrayed the apostles and the Crusaders."

Hui Yuanchu couldn't help but interjected: "So, who made this judgment of 'endangering humanity'?"

"Sophia - I mean, the creator level of the group, the divination core." Orilu Aoi replied, "You should still remember that the group's system is essentially a part of the divination core Sophia. So as the keyhole of the system terminal, Its essence is the end of Sophia, the divination core. To make the keyhole explode, the only judgment lies with the divination core."

"So, I didn't install the keyhole for you just to threaten you." Orukui finally concluded, "I hope you can believe me on this."

Hui Yuanchu asked: "But, the situation has not changed for me, right? Anyway, life is controlled by others."

"Yeah, but it's not controlled by me. I don't know if you would feel better about it."

"To be honest, there is no difference..."

Hui Yuan thought carefully for a moment.

If he is an ordinary person, then whether it is Oro Aoi in front of him who can kill him at any time, or a mysterious AI that has never appeared before can kill him at any time... there is no difference between these two things, they are both terrible. ,Can not accept.

Orokuchi continued arranging lines on the drawing paper and said leisurely without raising her head: "Yeah, but I won't apologize."

After a pause, she looked up at Hui Yuanchu and repeated, "I won't apologize to Xiao Hui for the bomb, right?"

"I won't apologize for lying to Xiao Hui."

"Because at that time, I still regarded Xiao Hui as a potential enemy. Although he could be used, he might also disintegrate into an evil spirit at any time. Then I should naturally put shackles on you like an enemy. There's nothing wrong with that at all." Oroku Aoi naturally said words that a normal person would find hurt.

Well, okay, Hui Yuanchu accepted it easily.

Just like what he had just thought about, because Oruru Aoi is such a person, there is nothing to be angry about.

However, he also realized that Oroku Aoi had not finished speaking, and there was still a second half to this topic.

So after a pause, he took the initiative to ask the next question: "But the significance of installing the keyhole should be more than that, right?"

...A very subtle problem is that after he obtained the power of the "Cross Center" that consolidates the existence of consciousness, the keyhole really can't kill him, and Oriuru Aoi even lamented this.

But then, before going to the Holy Knot to deal with the Heaven's Lock, Orukui installed the keyhole for him again.

"Didn't you already know that at that time? A keyhole cannot deter me." Hui Yuanchu asked.

"It's not important - what's important is that the group doesn't know." Orokuchi said calmly, "So as long as you install the keyhole, they will fall into a false sense of peace of mind - or more realistically, for you The monitoring level will drop many levels.

"This way, I can help you cover up things within the group...such as your ownership rights, or your actual actions during the mission.

"The highest-priority iron rule within the group when it comes to treating those in power is never to allow any person in power without a keyhole to be active. If the keyhole is not installed, then I won't be able to delay it now. We will face The trouble is not the supervisor...but the annihilation order and another disposal team."

"Do you understand? For me, the meaning of installing the keyhole for the second time is completely different." Zhe Lukui put down the brush, stretched out his thumb and index finger from behind the drawing board and compared the distance of about one centimeter. "At that time, I I trust Xiao Hui a little more than when I first installed the keyhole."

"—So, although Xiao Hui can't be killed anymore, I no longer think about how to kill Xiao Hui, but how to protect Xiao Hui."

...So that’s it, there is such a hidden story in this matter.Hui Yuanchu nodded to express his acceptance.

But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong: "But at that time, you still didn't tell me the truth?"

"Well, isn't this because of consideration for Xiao Hui's self-esteem." Zhe Lukui still didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said calmly, "Although you are actually not afraid at all, it doesn't mean that you will readily agree to bury a bomb in your brain. Li. This is a matter of mood or dignity."

"...You also know that what you do will damage the victim's mood and dignity?" Hui Yuanchu rolled his eyes.

"I'm not an emotionless robot. Of course I understand how ordinary people feel...but most of the time, I don't care." Oroku Aoi smiled softly, "But if it really has a major impact, Then of course I will pay attention to it and handle it well...for example, your mood when facing this matter."

"So your way to deal with it is to continue to hide it?"

Zhe Lukui replied earnestly: "I think this is the best solution. Under the circumstances at that time, I had to consider the situation that Xiao Hui refused to load the keyhole - in that case, the consequences would be very bad." "So, because This matter is very important, and I decided not to give you any chance to be willful."

Hui Yuan Chu sighed.

Indeed, it is also the same thing that Oro Aoi would do.

Because of the pursuit of efficiency and the belief that "people" are the biggest uncertainty, when setting up plans, Oro Aoi always seems to like to eliminate the influence of "people" on events as much as possible from the beginning.

...or, in other words, deprive them of their right to choose as much as possible.

She will never be the type to be honest and honest about everything from the beginning, and completely trust each other.

Even if she leads the team, she will not be a "leader" but a "conspirator".

Oroku Aoi also sighed: "Many times, ignorance is really happier. Because if something passes without knowing anything, then it never happened."

"However, people will regret something that is clearly past and cannot be changed, but just because they learned about it afterwards."

Hui Yuan nodded and then asked: "Then...why did you tell me about this today instead of continuing to hide it?"

At this time, he had almost noticed that today's conversation was still controlled by Oroku Aoi.

The fact that the old body under the ruins of the old Rose Hall had lost its head was not so much that he accidentally discovered it, but it was better to say that it was the introduction prepared by Oroku Aoi from the beginning.

There are thousands of explanations for the corpse missing its head.But before he could ask, Orokui announced the answer: "The keyhole is a bomb."So, that was her plan from the beginning.

Zhe Lukui continued to draw and replied: "I didn't tell Xiao Hui before. It can be said that although I believed Xiao Hui a little...but I didn't believe it enough."

"In other words, I'm still worried that you will have some extreme reactions after learning the truth."

"But things are different now."

"Now, Xiao Hui's trust level with me... has risen again, just a little bit." Zhe Lukui stopped writing again, stretched out her hand to draw a distance of about two centimeters, and at the same time dubbed the BGM casually, "Congratulations, Deng (3) Deng (3) Deng (3) Deng (3), Deng (1), Deng (2), Deng (3)~Deng (2) Deng (3)~"

"So I thought, maybe Xiao Hui now can bear a small part of my trust..."

Then, Orokuchi finally put down her paintbrush.

Walking out from behind the drawing board and stopping in front of Hui Yuanchu, Zhe Lukui raised her head, stared at him seriously and said: "Okay... Anyway, I will tell you everything now. I am such a person with a bad personality. Man, I don’t regret the many terrible things I’ve done to you. So, what do you want to say to me?”

Hui Yuanchu was very happy to hear the previous sentence.

He pretended to think for a moment and waved his hand magnanimously: "Okay, I forgive you.

"Although you didn't apologize, I forgive you.

"Anyway, just having your head blown off... to me is like the morning breeze blowing on my face.

Zhe Lukui showed a relaxed smile.

"It's great that Xiao Hui understands." However, her tone of voice was deliberately indifferent, "She is indeed the person I trust the most."

Haiyuan looked at Zhe Lukui who was not serious at all, and suddenly couldn't help but want to ask a question.

If the trust he has accumulated in Zelokui's heart now is almost fifteen centimeters...

"Speaking of which, what's your level of trust?"

"Hmm..." Orukui thought for a moment, then slowly raised her head and looked into the distance.

Hui Yuanchu also raised his head and followed her gaze, and suddenly blurted out: "...You don't trust anyone at all, do you?"

What she was looking at seemed to be the sky-blue railway bridge.
