The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

But White shook his head: "No, that's not the case."

With a wave of the baton in his hand, the picture on the big screen turned into a global map.

"Just an hour before you encountered the giant, there was an extremely powerful energy reading near the Sydney ruins in Australia. It was at that time that the bunker captured an object moving at high speed into outer space."

"After being released in the universe, some kind of mud-like substance enveloped itself, and after being silent for 43 minutes, it turned into a huge posture, and then flew towards the location waiting for you before without any pause."

In other words, the other party has a very strong purpose.

The red dotted line with an arrow on the big screen completely marked Lin Qiao's movement trajectory - the changes in the movement trajectory were even accurate to milliseconds.

"But after landing, the other party suddenly disappeared after rescuing Miss 2B who was about to fall into the sea and knocking down three "Engels"..."

"What's the purpose?"

Looking at the red dotted line representing the movement trajectory on the big screen, 9S pinched his chin.

As a curious S-type scanner, he couldn't help but want to go back and explore.

"But since they ascended from the earth to outer space, and then landed next to me and 2B, then they shouldn't be new aliens, but mechanical life forms, right? Like super large weapons?"

"No, I'm afraid it's hard to say..." White bit his lower lip and muttered to himself.

"Eh? Commander, does he know anything?"

"Unfortunately, what I told you before is all the information we have."

He shook his head at 9S who looked curious.

But even though this was true, she knew more than others, so she did hide part of the content.

"In short, an order has been issued to the entire army. They must pay attention to the actions of this 'giant' in future operations. Once discovered, they must report it as soon as possible!"

Considering the opponent's astonishingly fast speed, ability to teleport at will, and the ability to easily kill three "Engels" in an instant, there is definitely no way for a single android to deal with it.

Of course, there are also some reasons that cannot be disclosed...but since I have already said that there is no way to disclose it, then naturally I can't tell others.

"So....."

White raised his left hand and put it on his chest: "May the glory of mankind last forever!"

"May the glory of mankind last forever!"

The android's firm oath sounded in the command room... Even though most of them didn't know, humankind had perished long ago.

Or as they say, the only thing left for mankind is this glory...

"By the way, 2B, come to my place later. I have something to tell you about the last mission."

Chapter 668: Are humans still alive?

Not long after the meeting ended, he walked into a separate room and discussed the status of the mission with the android executives who were affiliated with the human meeting.

As the commander, White returned to his room with a frown on his face.

In other words, today's series of unexpected situations did not change any other expression on her face.

2B hasn’t come yet...

It's not that the other party is late or has missed something, it's just to give yourself time to clean up the room and let the other party come a little later.

Although as a commander, White's appearance and style give people a cold and unsmiling feeling, but in private, he will leave his clothes everywhere. This kind of carefree tomboy type...

In general, it is still necessary to maintain the dignity of a commander in front of his subordinates.

After tidying up the room for a long time, I turned to look at a few items on the table...

The most conspicuous among them is the mummy placed in the middle, which has been highly decomposed, but because the moisture in it has been dried by the sun, a layer of shriveled skin and flesh remains on the surface.

It was a human mummy.

——In fact, this is what 2B brought back from the factory this time.

Of course, right now this is just an image created using holographic projection.

If the goods are genuine, they will have been sent for verification as soon as they are sent back...

But the results were amazing.

Very amazing.

The deceased was female, her race was undoubtedly human, and she was about 13 to 15 years old... Thanks to this, 2B was able to stuff her into the large suitcase.

The most critical thing is the time of death.

——About half a year ago.

Half a year ago!

If it were other androids, the most they could feel was sadness or anger towards the mechanical life form, but for White and the high-level androids in the Human Council, it was a complete shock.

After all, for them, they already knew that mankind was extinct.

But now you tell me that there were still people alive until half a year ago...

Are you serious?

Although I really want to say that you haven't maintained it for too long, which has caused bugs, but the hard fact is slapped on your face and you can't deny it.

Even this is not the first human corpse they have obtained.

Even some Yoerha androids sent to Earth and the local android resistance army saw humans with their own eyes, and a very small number of them had exchanges with those humans.

.....Although they were all forced to have their memories erased afterwards.

The only thing in common is that all the bodies died half a year ago, and the places where they appeared were all in the city where 2B and his friends were.

At the same time, according to eyewitness data, these humans also possessed some superpowers that were obviously inconsistent with the records... and then fought each other.

"Civil war between humans...?"

White sighed with mixed feelings. She didn't want to comment too much on the things of her creator for the time being.

With a wave of her hand, the projection of the mummy on the table disappeared, and several images were played instead.

——Images of humans killing each other.

This is also one of the few images seen by the androids.

Among them, a human tried to leave the city, but after leaving a certain range, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, and then his whole body began to fester, and finally turned into a pile of white salt grains.

If Lin Qiao were here, he would have known at a glance that this was the unlucky guy who didn't believe in evil and left the system's safe zone on his own initiative during the preliminary round.

But unfortunately, he was not here.

And what he didn't know was that this saltification was not a punishment mechanism of the system, but that there was a substance in the air of this world that could cause death or even madness.

——Magic element from another world.

And it was precisely because these corpses were exposed to an environment containing magic element for a long time that their own DNA was completely destroyed, resulting in the androids being unable to clone.

But let's go back to the androids' perspective.

In their view, this was completely a civil war caused by humans for unknown reasons - although this was already very close to the truth.

Good news: Humans probably didn't perish. Although the reason was unknown, there were still humans alive half a year ago.

Bad news: They survived, but not all of them. At least the remaining handful died half a year ago.

In general, this matter was very fucked... Even a roller coaster ride was not so ups and downs.

That being said, it's not all hopeless...

"Is it really just a coincidence that the giant came to that city?"

The earth is so big, why did it fly to that city? And it made such human-like movements, and those humans also had some extraordinary powers...

To be honest, as the commander, it's really hard for White not to think about this.

And it's even harder for the senior androids in the Human Council not to think about this.

The coincidence is a bit too much!

But that being said, all this is just their wishful thinking, and no one can guarantee the actual situation.

"Commander?"

Just then, 2B's voice sounded at the door.

"2B, come in."

As he said that, White waved his hand to turn off all the holographic projections on the table, and the white-haired android walked in from outside.

"You did a great job on the last mission, but I'm sorry that you're being sent out again when you've just finished the maintenance."

"No, this is my job... Is it about that giant?"

"I guess." White nodded and looked at 2B.

"It may not be just a coincidence that that giant came to that city. It may be related to the human corpses found before. For various reasons, I hope you can investigate it."

Whether that giant is related to the human cannibalism incident six months ago, the incident six months ago must be investigated thoroughly.

It is dereliction of duty for the creator to fail to protect himself, so at least the cause of their death must be investigated.

This is what the senior androids think.

"There is another thing. For some reason, the previous contact suddenly lost contact. If possible, I hope you can contact the local resistance army and find out the reason."

But for this matter, it is really just a by-the-way thing.

Compared with things related to humans, the life and death of a Yoerha-type android is simply irrelevant.

"Of course, 9S, who was in charge of the investigation in the area before, will also assist you."

"....."

Just as 2B was about to leave, the commander's words made her heart skip a beat.

Although it was said to be an assistant, it was actually another matter for her, whose real model was the E-type Executioner.

In fact, due to 9S's high performance, curiosity and investigation ability, the probability of the other party discovering the entire "YorHa Project" was simply sky-high compared to the same model.

Almost every once in a while, he would be forced to go offline for memory clearing.

In other words, the real reason why 9S was required to go with the other party on this mission was to go out to obtain the other party's help as a scanning model, and to secretly execute 9S if he might discover any secrets.

——And 2B had done such a mission 48 times before.

"But Commander, if it is to investigate human-related matters, it should not be necessary to assist with the S-type model, right?"

Said it with a somewhat hesitant tone.

Even though he had carried out similar missions many times, 2B really didn't want to continue if possible.

Let the other party stop intervening in his mission and prevent the other party from getting too much confidential information - this is one of the few things 2B can do for the other party.

And this is indeed a reasonable request to a certain extent...

However, as the commander, White frowned and fell into a brief silence, as if thinking about something.

Chapter 669 The water in this world is a bit deep

Ruins City...

Whether before or after the crossing, Lin Qiao is not unfamiliar with this place he first arrived after the crossing.

After helping 2B and 9S solve the three "Engels", he strolled in this already dilapidated city and began to revisit the old place.

It's just that unlike the situation in the preliminaries when he was nervous every step and was afraid of being tricked, now he can be said to be walking leisurely in the middle of the street.

Of course, if it's about whether he misses it, that's another matter.

To put it more bluntly, Lin Qiao doesn't like this place.
