As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 342 One hundred years later, twenty years later, what happened to those people

"NieR, Automata"

12991 years.

A small town by the sea.

Annabell opened the curtains as usual. Today is a new day, a repetitive, boring new day.

The Kingdom of the Sun never lacks light.

As usual, after washing, she put a hot towel on her face.

There was a banging sound in the circuit under the face.

Annabel can only use a screwdriver to unscrew the mechanical screws under the skin and repair her body in front of the mirror. She does this kind of thing once a month.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

There was a squeak.

Her little assistant stood outside holding on to the doorframe.

"Boss, why are you cultivating yourself again?"

“If you don’t cultivate, won’t you die?”

The assistant came into the room with a stack of reports.

"Why don't you just change your body?"

She timidly looked at Annabelle's mechanical skeleton, which was barely covered by skin and exposed to the air.

"We all suspect that you are doing this to scare us at any time."

"..."

"You have some obsession with this body."

Annabell turned around and threw the screwdriver on the table.

"What happened so early in the morning?"

Annabel said as she took the report form from the assistant.

A large number of repair orders for artificial humans and mechanical life forms arrive every day.

Every day is so busy.

Annabel can hardly remember when she started to become a "social animal" in human information.

If you think about it, it seems to have been since the signing of the peace treaty in 11946.

It has been more than a hundred years.

"It's been...more than a hundred years..."

Annabell seemed to see the agreement made by the witcher and the white-haired girl when they left the harbor on that day in 11941.

And further...

"Snapped!"

The assistant woke Annabell up with a slap from both hands.

"what happened?"

"Well, it's okay..."

Annabell put the report on the table, took out a pair of chopsticks in the sunlight, and put her hair up.

"Is that all?"

"besides."

The assistant touched her pointed chin and said, "There is a woman who calls herself Jacquel. She said she will give you a piece of goods later. Please sign for it."

"Jacol," Annabel murmured, "I haven't seen her for more than thirty years. Every time she comes, nothing good happens."

A few minutes later.

After handing over the work, the assistant jumped away from here.

The door closes.

Annabell stood motionless in front of the window, looking at the sunshine outside the window, as if looking at the memories of the past.

It took a while before I picked up the white coat on the chair and put it on.

The morning was muggy.

Annabel suffers from headaches and is afraid of repairing her electronic brain for fear of memory damage. In fact, the probability of damage is less than 0.1%.

What she was afraid of... was just that the face in the archive would fade in memory.

My head started to hurt again.

Before going out, she found a cigarette stick, lit it silently, closed her eyes and took a puff to relieve the pain.

There were footsteps outside the house and a muffled knock on the door.

Annabel hurriedly put out the cigarette.

"Who?"

There was a little silence outside the door.

One second, two seconds... ten seconds.

"Delivery."

The door opens.

A man with messy hair stood at the door.

Warm air swirled into the house.

Sunlight shines through the window.

Her lips trembled slightly in the warm light and floating.

She walked towards the door step by step, raised her hand, and carefully touched the man's face.

Warm...

Memories from a hundred years ago became reality before my eyes.

She covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes moist.

"Where have you been in the past hundred years?"

Xing Kai raised his hand tiredly and touched her falling tears with his fingertips.

"I'm always looking for my way home."

"Are you leaving this time?"

Xing Kai looked at this woman.

shook his head.

"I won't leave until I die."

……

"Whoo~"

Jacol let out a sigh of relief.

She sat on an iron chair outside the house, holding a note in her hand and writing on it: "The goods have been delivered."

"What a strange product." The assistant stood beside him.

"Yes, treating living creatures as goods is called trafficking in human thinking." Yacol said something that is difficult for artificial humans to understand.

"Where did you get the goods?" The assistant was curious.

"This..."

Jacol closed the notebook and looked across.

The trees were full of birds.

The pasture is in bloom.

This world is good.

It just depends on how you look at it.

She thought this and showed a satisfied smile.

The memory comes to the time not long ago when I was in the "threshold".

……

Li Nuo got the data disk that shaped the island whale from Yacol.

"How do you use this crap?"

"It's probably enough to turn it on silently." Yacol said and reminded: "Think about it! Your head will explode in pain after using it!"

"Ha... It's better than being killed." Li Nuo stared at him and smiled. He was incomprehensible to Jacques. Just like the previous times when we got along, people couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind. What.

"By the way, Jacol, there's something."

"Harm whom?"

Jacol still knew him in some ways.

Li Nuo skipped the part of complaining and asked: "Is there a bastard with a sad face, messy hair, and a very scumbag who is very pleasing to the eye from the 'threshold' to your world?"

"Don't you think your description of that person is incomprehensible?" Yacol complained while clicking on the magic element panel he could see.

"There is one."

She put the image out.

Xing Kai’s face is printed on the translucent panel.

"Ah, that's him."

Li Nuo smiled and showed his front teeth.

"Please, help me transport him to Annabelle's house."

"This guy... is the one Annabel is looking for..." Yacol touched his chin and said, "Do you still want to deliver the goods to your door?"

"We have reached this point. If something goes wrong in the middle, I can't explain it."

"As for it?"

"Of course." Li Nuo said, "Do you know what the most precious quality of human beings is?"

Jacol: "Not you."

Li Nuo: "Be grateful and repay the kindness."

"Actually..." Jacol paused: "You don't owe anything long ago."

"But that has nothing to do with Annabelle." Li Nuo said, "Please, the reward will be the world we helped you with."

"Demon King or Hero?"

"what?"

"I mean, are you a good person or a bad person?"

"A priest who preaches, a hunter who hunts demons, in layman's terms, a bad painter, if we must talk about the essence." Li Nuo thought for a while: "A humanoid self-propelled machine carrying a dark brown color."

Jacol: "Well... let me remind you, there may be dangers in the world you are in now, but there is no one like me who can travel through time and space anchors to help you, so you'd better Take some of your... kindness."

Li Nuo said: "What you mean is that the intersection of time and space will create a world..."

"It's just a hunch." Yacol interrupted him and said: "Something will appear in this world, and it may become a second our world (Neil)."

Li Nuo still smiled: "I have been prepared."

……

"Are you prepared?"

Jacol leaned back in his chair.

What exactly have you prepared?
Want to change the world again?

Or let the world escape its destiny?
"This guy...what does he want?"

Yacol, she named Sandu's world "Vapor Wave".

"The fate of the world and the world is broken, because you are connected alone, and you alone will bear the consequences."

"Li Nuo." "That's actually what I mean."

If possible, she actually wanted to see what happened there.

……

Vaporwave Era 1999;
Strange spherical objects descended on the old neighborhoods of San Francisco. On the same day, San Francisco suffered an unprecedented blow.

The notorious Mafia Tiger Eye Society dispatched a large number of mercenaries and used missiles to solve the spherical objects floating in the air at the critical moment, ending this chaos.

In the same year, Tiger Eye’s transformation was successful.

Vaporwave Era 2000;
The eldest lady adopted Dumbledore a year ago, which was Li Nuo's entrustment before he left.

Her initial purpose was to "meet the celestial spheres", but Dumbledore discovered that his compatriots existed near the planet.

In this way, the great magician Icarus, who had been alone for more than 10,000 years, summoned a group of Cairo stars.

Vaporwave Era 2004;
A lot of strange things appeared in the sky, and a certain country discovered that they were legendary UFOs.

The first alien creatures land on the planet.

They call themselves "Cairo Stars".

Vaporwave Era 2006;
Interstellar hunters and a large number of weird but peaceful aliens have come to the world one after another.

The Vaporwave Era 2019…

"..."

The eldest lady was sitting on the sofa, gritting her teeth and frowning, holding a game console in her hand.

"My purpose of taking you in is the 'Meeting of Heaven and Earth'. It's been twenty years, and you just give me this thing?"

Opposite her sat Dumbledore.

Early this morning, the Cairo magician presented the results of twenty years of research, which was the "celestial sphere intersection starter" that the eldest lady was looking for twenty years ago.

Dumbledore held a cigar in his mouth, hugged a teddy dog, and said proudly:
"That thing is too dangerous, this one is safe."

The eldest lady pressed the switch with a skeptical attitude.

The screen glowed.

Then, a paper guy popped out.

That's a paper man.

Anyone who knows his stuff can tell that his true identity is someone from "South Park."

In a sense, Dumbledore did create a ridiculous summoner by fusing the "celestial sphere intersection fragment" he carried with magic.

But there seemed to be something wrong with the summoned paper man. After appearing in the room, he started yelling "ahhhhh" crazily.

Dumbledore curled his lips: "I still need to revise it..."

"..."

The eldest lady stared at it and then at the paper man. She suddenly figured out something.

"puff……"

The woman smiled.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

She burst into laughter.

Everyone around her was afraid of her, and everyone was scared because of her smile, including Dumbledore.

"It's okay...hahaha..."

"I just thought of something interesting."

The eldest lady recalled twenty years ago.

The scene when Mr. Li gave Dumbledore to her.

"It turns out that when he gave you to me, he was telling me that Star Cairo is the real 'Meeting of Heaven and Earth'."

Dumbledore: "?"

The eldest lady looked out the window.

"You have been plotting against me for twenty years, Mr. Li."

She is still as beautiful as she was twenty years ago, but she has gained some charm over time.

"The world has become what it is now, and it makes no sense for me to persist in the 'meeting of the heavens and the earth'."

……

The café bell rang.

"welcome."

Standing behind the counter, Sunaba saw Mr. Uesugi, who lived a street away, coming in.

"I'm here again." Uesugi took off his hat and sat on the chair in front of the counter: "Hey~"

"Same as the same?" Sha Yu asked, while making coffee, she lifted the hair curtain around her ears, and her blue earrings collided in the air.

"I said, Sha Yu..."

"No."

Sunaba put the coffee on the table in front of Uesugi.

Uesugi asked disappointedly: "Is this the first time I've proposed dating you?"

Sha Yu smiled and said, "How can I still remember such a thing?"

"I can give you a lot of money. My family is rich. Really, Sandha." Uesugi stared at the red pupils opposite him and said, "You open a cafe in a run-down neighborhood like this and there is no business. How can you open a cafe?" What are you doing with it?”

Sha Yu smiled and said: "This is just a landmark, I have plenty of money~"

landmark,

After going to college from abroad, her life was completely different from before. She really lived an ordinary life, and her life was even better because of her skills as a killer.

She has stronger insights than ordinary people, has outstanding physical fitness, can discover loopholes in her work faster than ordinary people, and can adapt to harsh environments better than anyone else.

——A person who has been soaked in alkaline water is more precious than gold.

Sha Yu gradually understood the true meaning of Marjie's original words.

For people who have experienced hardships, the upper limit of their willpower is like an unexplored peak to ordinary people.

She eventually came back.

In the place where I used to live, I bought this abandoned cafe.

"That's funny, ma'am, why is it just a landmark? Who can see it here?"

"Of course."

Sand Yu is still smiling.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to find his way back when he comes back."

Mr. Uesugi looked at the ripples in the coffee cup.

He thought of the first time he met Sha Yu. He was drunk outside that day and took the wrong path and came to this cafe.

That day, the lights in the cafe were on late at night.

The beauty looked back and woke up from the wine.

Uesugi made an inexplicable confession.

All I got was "It's closed" from Sha Yu.

Uesugi understood that the reason why the lights in the cafe were still on that night was because they were a guiding sign for that person.

He asked in frustration: "How long have you been waiting?"

Sand Yu said without thinking: "7299 days."

One day to twenty years.

Uesugi knew that he had no chance in his life. He had seen too many bitches and many bitches who talked about infatuation.

But when Sha Yu mentioned that person, his eyes were as clear as when he was seventeen years old.

The cafe was quiet again.

Sha Yu held her chin and looked at the door quietly with no expression on her face.

The café bell rang.

"welcome."

"..."

She was stunned for a moment, and then showed a flat smile.

This is the story twenty years later.

……

"NieR: Automata", in 12991, Xing Kai returned and lived here permanently. All the causes and destinies of this world were settled.

Vaporwave, in 2019, aliens have entered and the world has changed. It has nothing to do with the little people. Although there are no waves, it has not yet come to an end, and the ending will probably be the day when everything ends.

……

"It seems to have been upgraded..."

Li Nuo opened his eyes and had a headache that was about to explode.

He didn't have the heart to care about things like upgrading, because it was really uncomfortable to death.

Chabai fell into his arms, sleeping heavily.

"Uncomfortable..."

Cha Bai opened his mouth: "After all abilities are turned off, the body's feedback cannot be tolerated..."

Li Nuo tilted his head, eyes full of confusion.

At this time, Cha Bai said: "By the way, Li Nuo, I met the manager of the corridor inside the 'sill'... He said that I could make a request and he would give me directions."

Li Nuo's pupils moved left and right to observe the surroundings, and at the same time he asked: "What you shouldn't ask is... why don't you become a player?"

Chabai said "hmm".

He knew her too well.

But Li Nuo couldn't help but said: "Aren't you a waste of resources?"

Cha Bai: "Don't you long for a dull and boring life? As a player, you can't live that kind of life."

"Who told you that?"

"Last time...your dad...(See the extra chapter in the next chapter)."

[The airboat has arrived at the station]

The chat between the two ended here in a daze.

The next second, he saw the door on the opposite wall open, and white light came into his eyes.

When they reacted, they were already standing on the airship landing pad in Basel.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai stood there, one in a priest's coat and the other in a witch's long dress, staring blankly at each other.

"Li Nuo..." Cha Bai looked around: "Where is Marjie?"

"..."

Li Nuo opened the team's panel at this time.

Then I saw this sentence:
["Humph" team has been disbanded]

(End of this chapter)
