Chapter 432 Two Requests
"Well..." Xiuer's hand holding the memory chip didn't tremble at all, and even the expression on his face didn't change. It was as if he didn't hear Wei's reminder at all. He looked at the crystal in front of the light and observed it attentively as if nothing had happened. Teammates who were familiar with him just instinctively felt that something was slightly wrong with him, and only he knew it. At this time, there was a huge wave in his heart, so that he could not maintain his posture and had to use these irrelevant words. Take action to hide your emotions.

Xiure didn't doubt Wei's judgment, not at all. On the one hand, he believed in Wei's ability, and on the other hand, it was because he remembered what happened outside the abandoned city.

At that time, Shuer was puzzled by the damage to the ground and the growth of plants under the road, but Mobak and Moria both gave reasonable explanations. These are likely to occur normally, plus the subsequent investigation of the waste. A comprehensive analysis of the damage to the buildings inside the city was conducted, and it was determined that the city's desolation time and human historical records could corroborate each other. This temporarily dispelled Shuuer's doubts.

However, Wei's judgment made the doubts that had almost faded resurface and once again filled Shuer's brain. If the historical records after the mechanical apocalypse were added for 50 years, it seemed that they could be compared with the surface of the abandoned city and the The distribution of plants is correct, but the problem is, as for humans, there is no way to explain the human problem, unless all living things collaborate to stage a farce.

Xiuer turned around and looked at Delia's young face. Hehe, it's been more than 50 years. Are you kidding? He reached over and pinched her face. This is definitely not fake. Moreover, Xiuer asked himself that he was not blind yet and could distinguish emotions. and the authenticity of his words. The little guy's attachment to himself and longing for his parents are definitely not fake. His determination to become a hero and save the world is not a lie. The innocence and kindness hidden in his cunning eyes are absolutely true. It is impossible for such a child to cooperate so tacitly in performing this farce.

why?Xiu'er's brain was thinking at lightning speed, but he still maintained a faint smile on the surface and pinched the little girl's face again.

"Hey, your face is almost swollen, uncle, you hate it." The little guy pouted and knocked off Xiure's troublesome hand, looked at him expectantly and said, "Uncle, can you show me your parents' chips?"

"No, because the uncle who was scolded as a nuisance was sad." Covering up his inner excitement with a joke, Shuer put the chip in Delia's hand as if nothing had happened, touched her hair and said, "They said the property should be returned to its original owner. , of course I have to exchange it for you. This is a relic of your parents. Ha, it’s really interesting. No wonder you have dreamed of becoming a hero since you were so young. Although you said that you can’t forgive your parents for leaving you alone, But in actual actions, we have to repeat their path and go deep into dangerous places with us even if we risk our lives. It turns out there is a family tradition."

The little guy wrinkled his nose and snorted, snatched the chip and held it in his hand. The chip was wrapped in a strange transparent bag, so he didn't have to worry about being contaminated by the sweat on his hands.

"Are these mom and dad?" Delia stared at the chip in ecstasy, and said as if dreaming, "I'm not dreaming, there will really be a day when I see them again. Wow, they really... can't wake up. ?"

"Unfortunately, it's true." Maximilian removed the visual collector and whispered, "Heroes who have sacrificed everything for the future of civilization should not die like this, and we are not willing to accept this ending. So. , we spent a whole year concentrating all our computing power on trying to repair the two chips, but unfortunately, we failed. The supreme master brain sealed all the research data on the chips. We had no way to start with this, and we had to give up in the end. I'm sorry, Delia, I apologize on behalf of all the machines. Not for causing their deaths, just because we gave up trying to save them, even though the hubs knew that this was the best option and we couldn't possibly Too much energy was put into something that was destined to be fruitless, but the hubs still feel guilty because we gave up on two heroes.”

"Uncle..." Delia raised her head and looked at Xiure as if asking for help, "Is what he said true?"

"Ok?"

"I'm just a child who has never seen the world. The adult world is too complicated for me. I really don't know whether what he said is true or false." Delia said with red eyes, "I really hope he It’s a lie, but it sounds like it’s true.”

"Huh..." Shuer understood that the little guy was struggling in his heart. She had always wanted to climb the Tower of Babel, and hoping to avenge her parents accounted for at least half of the reason.But if what Maximilian said is true, it means that these are her parents' own choices, and there was no conflict between the two parties until the end, so the reason for revenge is a bit untenable.Although the little guy is young, he is not an unreasonable child. At this moment, she really can't blame the mechanical body for the death of her parents. Therefore, she can only hope that Maximilian is lying to her. She can feel better, otherwise, the years of hatred collapsed in an instant. This feeling of confusion and loss is still too cruel for her.

Unfortunately, Shuer is at least [-]% sure that Maximilian is telling the truth, not only because Shuer believes in his own judgment, but also because Wei has confirmed the standard of Maximilian's action during the direct connection before. Just don't hide anything, use a sincere and honest attitude to convince the shadow chasers, and provide help to the mechanical camp. Therefore, it is unlikely that Maximilian will lie on this issue.

"What answer do you want me to give you?" Shuer picked up Delia and put her on his lap. "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

The girl bit her lips tightly and refused to say a word.Soul patted Delia's arm, and did not force her to answer. Instead, he hugged Delia and comforted her silently, using physical contact to calm the trembling of her body.

"So, what are your plans?" Feeling that the body of the girl in his arms was no longer shaking so violently, Shuer looked at Maximilian with a half-smile and asked, "I know your purpose. Explain the two The reason for the hero's death is to resolve the hatred in Delia's heart, to fundamentally resolve the basis of the opposition between us outsiders and your machines, and to make it possible for both of us to cooperate. Returning the hero's relics will It is to further influence the little guy's heart and make her instinctively like you. Oh, to be honest, compared to the humans in the floating city who sent them as victims and didn't even dare to let them see the light of day. , those of you who respect them, value them, try to save them, solemnly retain their relics after failure, and finally return them to their descendants, it seems that you can win the favor of the little guy."

"Your logical analysis system is very powerful. Each step has a clear purpose and uses the most appropriate method, so the results are remarkable. I admit that my attitude towards you has changed significantly compared to when I first came here. , as long as our requirements can be met, we don’t even mind giving you some help in return. Hehe, we haven’t given anything in return to the humans on the floating city. So, your efforts in the past few hours are very important. Success, then I want to know now, what are your plans?"

"Follow the will of the Supreme Mastermind and execute the orders of the Supreme Mastermind while ensuring that the Supreme Tower is not threatened." Maximilian said expressionlessly, "This is our plan."

"Really? If you continue to talk this kind of nonsense, you are insulting each other's IQ and destroying the good trust relationship established before." Shuer sneered and said, "Yes, you are machines, you worship them Supreme Mastermind, you are both believers and priests, but this does not mean that you do not have your own plans. Haha, it just so happens that I am a professional priest and have met hundreds of high-level priests. Everyone They are all the same. They all have their own plans based on obeying the Lord's will, and I think even if you are machines, you are no exception."

"I don't intend to waste too much time. After all, we have more important things to do, so I ask the Supreme Master to join the talks directly and let us talk to him directly. Therefore, you'd better explain your private plans in advance. If we If we can, then start talking as soon as possible, and if we can’t, then we’ll find another way.”

"Are you...already sure?" Maximilian looked at Delia, "Is it really okay?"

"Well, no matter what the result of her adjustment of mentality is, I can be sure that at least she will not look at you with hatred. It is not ruled out that she also wants to get to the top, just like her parents insist, but that is another matter It's gone." Xiuer shrugged and said, "So, you don't need to worry about it anymore, just speak up if you have something to say."

"Okay, I admit, we do have our own plans." Maximilian whispered, "The centers hope that you can make some requests for us when negotiating with the Supreme Mastermind. We have tried to apply before, but It was all rejected. It was not a matter of principle, and I don’t know why it was rejected by the Supreme Mastermind, but the centers believe that if you proposed it, the success rate would be much higher.”

"Ha, as expected, everyone has their own plans." Xiu'er nodded with a half-smile, "Tell me what the request is, and then I can decide whether to make a commitment."

"On the one hand, we want to request the Supreme Master Brain to release some technical blockades, including memory chips. We know that the Supreme Master Brain has its own judgment standards, but now the development of technology has reached a bottleneck period. If we release some technical blockades, we can We have successfully broken through the bottleneck period." Maximilian hesitated for a moment and added, "On the other hand, I hope that the Supreme Master Brain can lift the migration ban and lift flight restrictions. The Supreme Master Brain stipulates that all mechanical bodies are strictly within the scope of the Supreme Tower. Restrictions, and are never allowed to leave the coverage area of ​​the Supreme Tower to which they belong, which has a great impact on our development of Brown Star's resources. As for flight restrictions, the centers actually do not understand why the Supreme Master Brain limits the maximum height of the aircraft, but the Supreme Master Brain The orders must be obeyed, so no one will violate them. However, if the ban is lifted, the center thinks it will be more convenient."

"that's it?"

"Maybe you can't understand it, but for our mechanical body, these two requests are very important." Maximilian nodded, "If you are willing to help us, in addition to letting you enter the top floor, we will fully satisfy you. Your request.”
