Chapter 428 Spy
"Well, I regret it." Maximilian said with a stiff expression, "Isn't this very common? What's the problem?"

It is indeed very common. No matter what the occasion, you may encounter such a person. At first, he talks righteously and feels that he is fearless. However, when things get real, he starts to regret it and starts crying and wants to quit.The more important something is, the more likely it is that a similar situation will happen. Xiure has seen a lot of this kind of people, and it seems that Maximilian has also seen a lot of them.

"Do you still want me to teach you how to do such a small matter? Follow the previous rules." Maximilian ordered without thinking, "Make it clear to him that his memory chip will be sent back to the Sky City, and then Take it to the maintenance room and dispose of it directly, and let the guide take his chip back."

"Center, those two people were making a bit of a fuss." The metal figure who reported the report explained with embarrassment, "They were running around in the hall just now and tried to destroy the equipment. Everyone spent a lot of effort not to hurt them. On the basis of controlling them.”

"Ok?"

"Three pilgrims who have just finished their adjustment have been disturbed by them. It is estimated that they will have to readjust again, otherwise, it may affect the reincarnation effect." The metal humanoid continued to report in a low voice, "The other people who are still adjusting are fine, anyway. They don’t know what’s going on outside.”

"Are you trying to say that you think they are deliberately causing chaos and interfering with the pilgrimage?"

"Yes, the center." The metal humanoid reached affirmatively, "Their reactions are obviously different from those of the shrinking pilgrims before. Apart from intentional actions, my logic system cannot list any other possible options."

"What's the purpose?" Maximilian asked noncommittally, "This small problem is not enough to ruin this pilgrimage. Even if they really came with a mission, they would not expose themselves because of such an impossible goal. .”

"Oh, I'm afraid the purpose is to help us create chaos." Listening to the exchange between the two humanoids, Xiul interjected with a half-smile, "When we came, we didn't make any requests, but the high-level humans promised that they would find ways to create chaos. The opportunity helps us sneak into the top floor. I guess creating chaos is one of the methods. I hope we can deceive you when you deal with the chaos. Hehe, if this is the case, then the method is too childish. This level of chaos is just unthinkable. Creating opportunities for infiltration? Ridiculous. Moreover, if we really want to infiltrate, we will not choose the internal passage. There are other ways, such as climbing from outside the tower."

"It shouldn't be for you. This group of pilgrims had already begun to gather before you appeared in the Sky City, and the time doesn't match up." Maximilian glanced at Xiure and kindly reminded, "In addition, , you must not climb from outside the tower. There are automatic defense turrets outside the tower. If you try to climb up, you will be attacked. You may not be injured, but you will be attacked while climbing. If you fall, you will be in trouble. At a height of [-] meters, it would be difficult to survive if you can’t fly.”

"Oh, I'm just giving you an example. Since we agreed to your invitation, of course we won't do such immoral things." Shuer had an upright smile on his face. Well, I'm telling the truth. I can't even climb. Instead of climbing by ourselves, the goal would be too obvious, so let's climb in a more hidden way, for example... His eyes turned to Moria, and he saw Lin Jing making a 'one-third' gesture as if nothing had happened. Er was relieved and continued with a smile, "As for the time problem, it is actually easy to solve. You said that during the reincarnation process, you have a chance to read the reincarnated person's memory, but you must not have started reading it yet. So can you be sure? Are those two regretful people the pilgrims you originally chose? With the technology on the floating city, it is not difficult to change the appearance and physical characteristics through surgery. "

"Plastic surgery is meaningless here. Human beings will encounter dangers more or less several times in their lives and need to replace the replica body. Plastic surgery can only change the current appearance. Once replaced with a replica body, the effect will be lost."

"But, at least it can deceive your observation temporarily, right?" Shuerhun said without caring, smiling, "They are not here to propose marriage, but they also have to consider what to do if their true colors are revealed in their future lives. Since they When I came here, I probably didn’t think about the future.”

Maximilian lowered his head, and the system in his head was running rapidly. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and ordered: "Go, check their faces to see if there are any traces of recent surgery."

After assigning the task, he turned to the Shadow Chasers and asked puzzledly, "You..."

"Why would we help remind you? Oh, it's normal. As I said, we remain neutral. We are inconvenient and will not interfere in the internal affairs of the world's native civilization." Shuer shrugged, "We will come Your visit to the tower actually has only two purposes. The first is to collect data in your system, from nearby areas, brown stars, and even the entire void. The more data, the better."

They only talked about information but did not mention technology, which is normal. Not only because Maximilian said that the technology of the mechanical camp did not hide much from the human side, and the gap between the two sides was not big, but also because it had already passed the factory before. The network inside has explored the database of the mechanical camp. If you want to get more, you can only enter the top level and connect to the main brain's system, so there is no need to bring it up now.

"But, what about the second one." Maximilian pointed at Delia, "You are here to help her, right? She is a member of the human race."

"But she is still confused now." Shuer knelt down and looked at Delia. Indeed, the girl's eyes were full of confusion. Shuer patted her head and whispered a few words of persuasion before standing up again and said, "She doesn't have many plans for revenge, and she doesn't miss the city and the people in it. She just wants to change the fate of human beings in captivity, become a hero, and save the world. Ha, it's a very interesting idea, it's her You should think about your age." "Yeah." Maximilian also had to admit that when he was still a human, he had similar longings at the same age.

"She is very serious, so she is still confused about how to save the world." Shuer sighed and said seriously, "I must admit that your reasons are very reasonable and your goals are also lofty. I won't discuss whether they are right or not. At least it is indeed for the future of the brown star civilization. Although it is very unfair to the human race, fairness... is inherently ridiculous. Therefore, not only do we have no position to accuse you, but even Delia herself is looking for Without accusing you of your position, even the reason for your cruelty and murderous persecution of human beings is untenable, because theoretically speaking, you did not really kill many human beings."

"During the period they called the mechanical doomsday, they actually killed quite a few people." Maximilian shook his head and said, "I can't deny this, and I don't bother to deny it."

"Well, I really don't bother to deny it, because it is war, and killing in war is another matter." Shuer spread his hands, "So you see, she hasn't decided yet what attitude she will use towards you. Press From what I know about her, this means that her idea of ​​reaching the top has been shaken. Now that the biggest source of conflict between us no longer exists, why should we stand on the opposite side of you?"

"Judging from the logical system, what you said makes sense." Maximilian said with a wry smile, "But the part from human thinking reminds me that your words are half true and half false, so I can't believe them all. I am more inclined to believe it. Logical systems will actually do this, but I always feel that the humanistic thinking part is actually the right thing.”

"Hahahaha." Shuer burst out laughing, "This is the difference between normal life forms and mechanical life forms. It's amazing, isn't it? I can tell you straight away that your humanistic thinking is partly right, but even if I tell you It's useless, because you can't judge which ones are true and which ones are false, and you can't judge whether those lies are malicious."

"It's really impossible to judge." Maximilian looked directly at Xiure and said, "So I decided to follow logical judgment. After all, regardless of good intentions or bad intentions, your actions must be logical."

"Smart choice...well, it seems the result is coming."

Sure enough, the metal figure who had come to report before came in again and whispered beside Maximilian: "Center, we checked. The two shrinking pilgrims have signs of recent surgery on their heads."

"Well..." There was a large amount of data flowing vaguely around Maximilian's eyes, "Then what."

"We collected their hair and compared it. These two people are indeed not the original pilgrims. This is their original appearance." The metal humanoid handed Maximilian a card, "The body shape and skull shape are relatively similar. Surgery After adjustment, they are nearly indistinguishable to human perception.”

Maximilian's visual collector shot a red light across the card, then nodded and said: "Then you can't blame the guide for making a mistake. After all, he still maintains a human body, and his abilities are limited. It's normal that he can't tell the difference. It seems that genetic analysis will be added to the pilgrimage ceremony in the future. Please record it, start preparing now, and add it from next time."

"Yes."

"In addition, the two spies will be dealt with according to the original plan. However, the memory chips will be temporarily withheld and will be returned to them when the five-year copy limit period is approaching." It seems that even the mechanical humanoid has dissatisfied feelings. Obviously, this It is equivalent to imprisoning the other party's spies for several years, "Go ahead, I'll leave it to you to deal with it outside."

"clear."

When the metal figure retreated, Maximilian was sullen and silent for a while, then regained his composure and smiled: "I will not mention these trivial matters for now. The next step is the real reincarnation ceremony. Please follow me, let's go there first. .”
