Chapter 414

Yeah, definitely not worth the wait.

Delia's parents entered the Tower of Babel as part of a group of Mechanicists on a pilgrimage, and then lost contact. Everyone believed that they had died in the Tower of Babel.If they really appear in front of Delia again, as Seure said, whether in the form of a machine or a human, it only means one problem, that is, they have betrayed humans, joined the machine camp, and become Delia's enemy on this trip.

It was possible for her long-dead parents to meet again in their imagination. This should have been a dream opportunity for Delia, who was abandoned by her parents since she was a child. However, do they really still have normal humanity?If they really still have human sanity, does Delia really have enough courage to climb the Tower of Babel and personally destroy the system that supports her parents' lives?
"Hahaha, fighting swords between relatives is a very stupid behavior, isn't it? It's also very boring." Shuer's expression was strange, full of ridicule and sarcasm, and he didn't know who he was targeting, "But, reality What happens in is often stupider and more boring than imagined, haha, so you'd better think about it now, what will you do if a similar situation occurs. Don't worry, no matter what you want to do, we will support you You have nothing to lose to us anyway, so we can’t let you call me uncle in vain.”

"I...I...what can I do?" Delia's heart was already in a mess, and she said at a loss, "Uncle, what should I do?"

"Tsk, it depends on what you hope to get." Shuer seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "If you want to become a hero of mankind, then just act according to the original plan. However, this This means that you personally sent them to a dead end. If you want to question them face to face, it is very simple. You show up now. As long as we help you resist for a period of time, you will definitely get the opportunity to communicate with the mechanical camp. When the time comes, you will make it clear. Of course, you can question him face to face, but after questioning him face to face, it will be impossible to sneak in secretly."

"You can even say that you can't bear to leave them and want to be with them forever. There's nothing wrong with that. I think the machine side is very happy to have another sane individual who voluntarily joins. As long as you make a request, you can get a brand new one soon. The body, now, is just like the ones over there, and then you can stay with your parents and live happily. Don't worry, no matter what other humans in this world think, at least we will not oppose you, For us outsiders from the neutral camp, your choice is normal and there is nothing to make a fuss about."

"Of course, if you really can't make up your mind and can't make a decision, it's a good choice to turn back now. Return to the floating city and treat everything as a dream, as if nothing happened. You don't have to worry about the choice anymore. Let others make the decision. Don’t worry, even if you do this, we will support you. Oh, this is not timidity or cowardice. Everyone’s psychological endurance is limited. Recognize your own limits. Not wanting to do things that are beyond your capabilities is actually a sign of sufficient rationality.”

"Uncle..." The girl still held on to her last glimmer of hope, "These are just guesses. Mom and Dad... may not be here."

"Yes, that's right. It's all just speculation now. After all, your parents were not real Mechanicists. They might have been identified back then and then brutally killed. Well, this possibility is indeed higher." Shuer Shrugging, "But do you want to take a gamble on probability? Facts have proved that what you guessed is indeed possible. If you don't prepare yourself mentally in advance, you are prepared to wait until the problem has been put in front of you. Playing on the spot? It's not impossible, but I must remind you that in the examples I have seen, there is an 80.00% chance of regretting an on-the-spot decision without careful consideration, and it is extremely regrettable."

"Eh? Is it such an accurate number?" Lin Jing blinked his big shining eyes, "How did you calculate it?"

"Just make it up."

"Pfft", even in such a heavy atmosphere, Delia laughed angrily. Once she laughed, the depression and annoyance in her heart miraculously eased a lot. At least her brain could think about the problem calmly.

"Uncle, I know you are right. You should be mentally prepared in advance." The girl said distressedly, "But after all, the problem has not arisen yet. I really don't know how to face it. Even if I imagine it, I can't You can't imagine it out of thin air. Uncle, how about you give me some advice, what should I do?"

"No one can give you this kind of advice. You have to judge everything by yourself. Oh, don't you want to be a hero? Don't you want to save the world? There is always a price to pay to achieve your goals. At least making a decision is Part of the price." Shuer sighed and stopped putting pressure on Delia. "But there's no need to rush now. You can think about it slowly along the way, but it won't take too long. Well, of course. , maybe we didn’t find anything and climbed to the top of the Tower of Babel so smoothly. I think that is the best ending, but considering the worst possibility is my habit. As for whether you should follow the advice and think about it in advance You decide what to do, there are still serious things to do now." "Everyone, leave the main city and re-enter the abandoned city."

Without asking why, the group of people exited the functioning city along the highway and found the ruins of half a relatively solid building. They selected a large room and hid in it. The halfling quickly checked the room and confirmed that there was no image acquisition device in the room. Only then did he settle down temporarily.

"Rest in place for a time to be determined. It is strictly forbidden to make noise or attract the attention of the mechanical beast. After a while, the door and windows of the room will be sealed, leaving only the airway. Delia can temporarily escape from the latent state, but try not to do strenuous activities. "

"clear."

"Mia, you are responsible for the task of observing the outside world."

"Well, the Mage Eyes have been deployed."

"Very good, let the others take a break for now. Markajlen is coming with me. By the way, Mia..."

"Here you go." Before Xiure could finish speaking, a scroll of invisibility was handed to him.

"That's enough." Shuer gave Mia a thumbs up, tore open a scroll, and disappeared from everyone's eyes, "Makajelen, let's go exploring. I am the most stubborn, and the more others stop me, Where I am not allowed to enter, the more I want to go in and take a look. Besides, I have never seen a personal terminal along the way, but there must be one in a factory in operation. Before entering the Tower of Babel, you must be prepared. are you done?"

"All right, boss."

"Then let's go." A breeze blew through the damaged door, and the two of them left quietly, sneaking towards the factory they had just been driven away from.
