[Knowing the commander of the resistance army in the region] It doesn't really explain anything. It's not uncommon for local leaders to betray the organization, not to mention that once the androids are invaded by viruses, they can't help themselves... However, take this as one of them. A piece of evidence reference is not a problem. Combining [the village has a small amount of weapon reserves] and [the villagers' words and deeds do not seem to be false], we can temporarily recognize the peaceful nature of this village and its chief Pascal.
Even so, A2, who had a strong prejudice against mechanical lifeforms, could not communicate with Pascal normally because of this. She jumped to the big tree and silently monitored the movements of the mechanical lifeforms, and handed over the negotiation issues to 2B and 9S... I don't know when she will be able to get rid of the obsession in her heart.
Pascal should be regarded as the most intelligent individual among the mechanical lifeforms, but after all, he was disconnected from the Internet, and he was only a small village chief. 2B and 9S could not get any valuable information from his mouth. On the contrary, it was Pascal who got important information from them—
"I, are we a part that was deliberately divided...?" Unfortunately, it is not interesting information for it.
Unintentional disconnection means that this is just an accidental event.
Deliberately disconnecting the network means that this is a layout.
"We didn't know it with our own ears. It is said that when Adam was attacked by N2, it was revealed by N2, who had the chance to win." In 9S's mind, this could be regarded as "untrustworthy source", but if the source of intelligence was Leeds, it would be considered "the source is acceptable." letter".
"Adam, is that the evolution of the mechanical life form?" Pascal couldn't believe it. "Could it be that, in the eyes of N2, I am also an 'evolution'?"
"...It should be like this." Rather, even 2B and 9S felt that Pascal was some kind of evolutionary body, and its intelligence was too different from that of other peace-loving villagers, and it was no longer an excellent individual of its kind.
It's just that they also have this human touch, and they didn't add any unnecessary content in this case.
"How could this be?" Pascal's hands trembled, and he had already thought of a certain possibility, "Since N2 has already planned to obliterate Adam and Eve, is it possible that I will also become its next target? Or will the entire village be liquidated? ?"
If he was alone, the sacrificial Pascal would simply leave the village, but if it was the whole village, Pascal, the head of the village, should stay in the village to help the villagers fight the enemy. Now it can't even do the right thing because there's no way of knowing what N2 intends to do.
9S comforted: "The possibility is not high, the reason why N2 will obliterate Adam and Eve may be because they belong to an unplanned evolutionary body, or it may be because their contact with Lord Leeds has made their growth direction deviated. , you who have not experienced abnormal evolution for the time being will not necessarily be liquidated."
"But there's a possibility, right?" Pascal looked up and asked.
"… Hmm." 9S thought about it again and again, but still gave his own judgment.
Now, he no longer thinks that mechanical lifeforms have no thoughts and feelings, and they are incomparably different from artificial humans.
Then, since the androids can set up the "Yokohae Project", and then open the backdoor program and destroy the corpses after the members of the "Yoba Troop" have collected enough combat data, what's wrong with the mechanical life forms
"What am I going to do?" Face the enemy head-on? Don't be kidding, the opponent is the entire ethnic group, and Pascal is not a powerful existence like Adam and Eve, it is just an ordinary medium-sized mechanical life form.
"Actually," 9S and 2B looked at each other, took out a bottle of "Anti-Drug Pill" from the pocket of the black jacket, and handed it over, "Liz-sir, let us give this to you before leaving."
Pascal was also quite curious about human beings in the past, but now he doesn't have the mood to study human beings.
"The stuff in here can clear the virus in our body. One piece is cleared once, and the purpose is to eat it... However, you can try other methods, um..." 9S looked Pascal up and down, its mouth seemed to be unable to use it. Yes, I can't even open it up and down, so I can't eat!
"Thank you..." Pascal grabbed the bottle solemnly, for fear of a glitch.
2B next to him added: "N2 is good at virus attacks, which should work wonders, but it does not rule out the possibility that she chooses to control other mechanical lifeforms to attack frontally. At that time, you can contact us through the communication network of the resistance army."
"Huh?! Can I ask you guys?" Pascal was surprised.
Although 2B and 9S don't show their disgust as unabashedly as A2, it's not as friendly to them that Pascal is so surprised.
"... This is Lord Leeds' order."
…
"2B, how gentle~" 9S suddenly praised after leaving the village.
"Mind your own business." On the contrary, A2 didn't seem very happy.
Liz never said that they should protect this village! You must know that before he left, he didn't even know where the village was, how could he provide such a caring service? The meaning of providing a bottle of "Detoxication Pill" is obvious.
In other words, 2B lied and it was 2B's own decision.
2B took a while to say, "...I don't hate this village."
"Well, if it's really a village built by pacifists." 9S is still a little skeptical for the time being, but it's a fact that the initial impression is good.
But 2B's explanation is not finished yet, "We are not needed by this world, so we choose to escape this world... What will this world be like after this?"
"This..." 9S, like the other members of "Yoba Troop", was hit so hard that he didn't have time to think about other things, and kept thinking about the days after he left this world.
"I still can't hate this world..." I hate my own destiny, but I don't hate this world. 2B often looks at this blue planet in the space station, "If it can leave a spark that leads to a better future. , I don't mind lending my strength."
"Life" doesn't matter, she still has to live with 9S, which is something she has been looking forward to for a long time, but if it's just "power", she doesn't care at all.
"2B... It always feels like you've changed a lot since you were freed from the mission."
"So do you, 9S."
One spoke his heart out, became a bit frank, and was not so depressed.
A person who knows the cruelty of the world and matures, but has not given up his kind heart.
"..." A2 slowed down.
Where have you changed
