Chapter 424 Direct Connection
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Xiure didn't answer immediately. He just paced in place with his hands behind his back. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly showed a strange smile and said softly, "Now there is a very critical question."

"You do want to talk, I believe that. I still have some confidence in seeing people, even if the other person is another life form, so I don't doubt your sincerity. However, if you want me to fully believe you, you don't need me Say that you also know that this is impossible, impossible no matter what. Then the key to the question is how much can I trust you. If we maintain the current state of trust, we all understand that even if we sit down to negotiate , it is just a waste of time, cannot make any progress, and it is meaningless.”

"Yes, Mr. Scheure."

"So, you have been actively showing sincerity, including taking us to visit your most private transformation ceremony, and now, you would rather take a certain risk, and are willing to open the door of the Tower of Babel...the Supreme Tower, so that we can remain silent Enter without any interest." Shuer sighed and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, this makes me very embarrassed. I would rather you behave more cautiously and more hostilely, so that we can do something without any psychological burden. You have been reasonably prepared, but you have been so generous and are almost defenseless against us. It would be a bit embarrassing for us to be as sneaky as before. Answer my question. Make sure you treat us with this attitude. My own thoughts? Or the thoughts of other people...other beings?"

"Thinking center, logic center, control center, execution center, four centers and seven members jointly analyzed and obtained the optimal result after two hundred deductions." Maximilian's attitude also changed subtly, becoming more Simple and direct, but still not hiding anything, "We all agree that this is the only way to solve the problem peacefully."

"Well, I think so." Xiuer nodded, "But to be honest, this is not enough. I have seen all kinds of conspiracies before, including proactive overtures. Therefore, your efforts are also worth mentioning. Not enough to make me let my guard down.”

"Of course, I don't want this stalemate to continue. You have all reached this point. If the stalemate continues, it will be an insult to you and us, and your sincerity should not accept this insult."

"However, it's about everyone's safety, and I don't intend to give in easily. Moreover, that child Delia is just an ordinary human being. If she is attacked, it will easily cause problems. I have to be extra careful, and I hope you can understand. "

Maximilian nodded and waited silently for Shuer to continue.

"Therefore, in order to make a breakthrough in the matter, I will make another excessive request. You can refuse, or you can go back and discuss with other centers. I don't mind waiting here." Shuer stared at Marcy seriously. Milan's metallic face said slowly, "I hope you can connect the wire around your neck to our Wei."

"All our operations will not be hidden and will be clearly displayed under your monitoring. And we can also learn your true purpose for our group by directly reading the data in your system."

"Words can lie, but data cannot lie. Even if you want to manipulate the data, Wei can still tell whether the data has been tampered with. Only in this way can I truly feel at ease and adjust my attitude in the future."

"You take certain risks, and we also take certain risks. I think it's fair. Of course, I admit that this may be too high a risk for you. After all, if Wei directly plants hidden dangers in your system, , is likely to lead to your collapse, and even threaten you... uh, the [-] region, right, threaten all members of the [-] region. Therefore, this is indeed a difficult decision, so I can wait for your decision ." Maximilian stood straight on the spot without any movement. The vigilant mechanical beasts around him had already dispersed and returned to their posts. There were only two people standing face to face in front of the Tower of Babel.After looking at each other for a long time, the metal humanoid Maximilian asked in a stiff voice: "Do you mind if I back up the data?"

"I don't mind. I don't mind what you do now." Shuer said with a smile, "Backup, change, reset, whatever you want is fine, as long as you accept the direct connection with Wei."

"Okay." Maximilian nodded, "Please wait a moment. I'm going to back up the data first. It won't take too long. I'll be back in 10 minutes at most."

"No problem, but I think I have to remind you one thing. If I don't explain it clearly, it will be unfair to you." Shuer said seriously, "Wei's ability is more advanced than you think. If If she really wants to do something, even if you reset the memory, storage device, or even replace the entire system after direct connection, you still can't eliminate the hidden dangers she left. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense whether you back up your data or not. .”

Maximilian's steps to leave momentarily stopped, and he froze in place while maintaining his walking posture.As if all the joints were rusty, Shuer did not rush him and stood behind with his hands behind his back, looking at Maximilian's back with a half-smile.

Along the way, Maximilian was attacking. By showing sincerity and goodwill, he was gradually creating moral pressure on the shadow chasers. Maybe the purpose was good, but Shuer didn't like this at all. Feel.Therefore, it is time for Shuer to counterattack. An embarrassing request is enough to show the true attitude of the mechanical side, and at the same time throw the problem back to the opponent. Now that the counterattack has been made, Shuer will not No matter how confused you are, just wait leisurely and contentedly for the other party's countermeasures.

"I understand." The Maximilian figure slowly turned around and walked back to Xiul. "Since there is no point in backing up, there is no need to bother."

"Oh?" Xiu'er said with a half-smile, "Maybe I'm lying to you."

"Your life form is different from ours, so you don't understand. Once we are directly connected, whether it is a lie will be revealed immediately. If you are really lying to me, it is a good thing. It allows us to recognize the reality as soon as possible. At most, it will only sacrifice me. It's just an individual." Maximilian popped out the wire from his neck again and handed it to Shuuer. "Although our mechanical bodies are also attached to life, we will still follow logic and choose the best solution, even if this method is self-inflicted. Sacrifice, so please, I don’t mind direct connection.”

Shuer's smile froze on his face. Damn it, the trouble was thrown back again.
