Infinite Throne

   Chapter 1171 "Historical Texts"

   on the mounting bracket.

   The tattered Neil is distressing.

  The melted armor, after solidification, left a lump on the humanoid skeleton, like a tumor, ugly and miserable.

  Bella doesn't know what to do here either.

   Now they have six gods and no masters, and Bella has no one to talk to. Maybe she just wants to find someone...even if it's not a person, let's chat.

After the    awakened omnic, there are still many topics to talk about.

   For example, how do you take care of yourself, what you eat, and what you drink.

   But when Bella saw the tattered humanoid skeleton, she had an idea.

   "How about, Neil, let me fix it for you?"

  Hearing that, Neil, who was thinking about it, suddenly raised his head.

   She glanced at Bella and shook her head again.

"no."

   Bella heard the words, very strange: "Why?"

   "Only brother, only L, can dismantle NieR."

  What breaking the rules.

   Bella pouted, and inadvertently made up for the strange picture of the two omnics dismantling each other, no longer forced.

   Yes, common topic.

   She had an idea and started to lift L.

   She told how L contacted them and when they disappeared.

  The story is not long, Neil listens carefully, attentively, and does not move.

   "Di Di Di!"

   Suddenly.

   An alarm sounded from Neil's body.

   "Magic Light!"

Neil pulled herself from the fixing frame with force. She was about to grab Bella, but she thought that her violent actions might hurt the "human beings" in front of her. After sorting out the language, she made her request: "NieR, Request to log in to 'Magic Light'."

   Bella was dumbfounded.

   Only now did she know that the omnic had to use a "port" to log in to Mirage.

   She could see the urgency of Neil, this is a thinking omnic, and Neil may have "thought" something through the conversation just now.

  Bella quickly helped the elder over.

   "Cough cough...Miss Neil," the elder explained: "The world has been destroyed, there is no longer any 'mine' outside, and Area 11 has... no 'magic light'."

   "Brother, L, he is in the illusion."

  Neil couldn't explain the working principle of "phantom light" in words that humans could understand. But Bella's words just now reminded her. Neil combined her own "thinking", and she thought of a possibility. Since the younger brother has the ability to protect her from the terrifying destructive power of "Spark Fire", it is inferred by the same reasoning that the younger brother has an 85% probability of surviving in "Spark Fire".

  Since the surface has become scorched, after eliminating all the "impossible options", the only possibility left is: L is living in the illusion.

  Neil is very sure that his brother is 100% not human.

   Weak human beings cannot survive under "Sparkfall", but inhumans can.

   There is nothing wrong with this logic.

   silently,

  Neil raised the probability of "L survival" to 95.8%.

   There is a play.

  zheng~

  Neil saw that the elder and Bella were still hesitating, she popped out the steel blade without saying a word, and held it up in front of her.

   As he raised it, Neil apologized: "Sorry, NieR must log in to 'Magic Light'."

  My younger brother once said that if you do bad things among human beings, you should apologize.

   As long as she apologizes in advance, whatever she has done will be forgiven.

   So she apologized before throwing out the knife, the first is the quickest.

   The elder's lips trembled twice, Neil's knife lit up, and he apologized. Naturally, they compromised.

   What a clear and iron law, in the face of force, it is not worth mentioning.

   Of course, Neil apologized, and they didn't feel so bad in their hearts, who didn't have any troubles.

   So comforting himself, the elder ordered someone to move an "illegal port" into the room.

  Bella spent a lot of time debugging the equipment and connecting the network cable.

   In fact, for Neil, she is an omnic, and there is not that much trouble. Halfway through debugging, Neil will go to the cabin, separate the barge, and start the link.

   "Access, Mirage World."

   Next second.

   The familiar light and shadow, in Neil's vision, is like a time-space tunnel, pulling her into the other side.

  …

  …

   A fissure was born out of thin air at the top of the building, and Neil stepped on the streamer and crossed the fissure to log in to the illusion.

   The scene in front of us is as peaceful as ever, and the bustling crowds always operate at their own pace.

"elder sister."

  Neill has not had time to perform the "self-test" and check the upper limit of the operation of "phantom light" after "awakening", the familiar voice sounded after itself.

  Neil was shocked, turned his head, and saw an anthropomorphic character named "Lin Yi", a white windbreaker without wind and automatic, jet-black hair, a white umbrella propped up in his hand, smiling and watching himself.

   A hot vibration came from the depths of her chest. Neil held the position of the power stove with both hands. She closed her eyes and tasted this strange throbbing.

  Irin smiled and said, "This is called...'the joy of reunion'."

  Neil opened his eyes, his calm eyes filled with joy: "L."

  Irin walked towards Neil, the oil umbrella stretched forward, and a faint shadow covered the two.

   "Why do you have an umbrella, L."

After   Neil woke up, he always liked to ask "why".

   Sometimes it's not that she doesn't understand, or doesn't understand.

   Just like human babies, there is a period of time in the growth process that they will pull their parents and ask "why" every day. This is an important process for them to re-contact the world and understand the world.

-"think".

   "Because, it's about to rain."

  Irin's voice just fell, and the drizzle fell, and the beautiful clear sky turned gloomy in seconds.

  Neil stared at his younger brother with bright eyes.

   She had an impulse.

   I can't wait to let my brother take it apart and clean it on the spot.

"Walk."

  Irin patted Neil's shoulder lightly, and the light and shadow changed for a while, and when the two reappeared, they were already on the street.

  This is City M, which is physically hundreds of kilometers away from City D.

   "L, I want to know the truth."

"it is good."

So Yilin carefully described his origins, the stories that happened in his main world, encountered Nemesis in the water world, and after Nemesis destroyed a world, Yilin secretly invaded here with the help of Green. The whole process, Yi Rin explained it in detail and told Neil.

   "Oh, the rain stopped."

  Irin spoke in one breath for half an hour, and Neil listened quietly the whole time.

It just so happened that when Irin finished talking about the ending of the story, that is, when he was in the "Spark Comes", with this "virtual character" attitude, when surviving in the virtual world, it was like an invisible hand pushed away the dark clouds and the dark clouds. Spread out, the sky is clear, a sunny day.

simply put.

  Irin is an "outsider".

   He came here for a fundamental purpose.

   is the "God" who slaughtered this universe.

   Neil's former boss.

  …

   Just like what Iren said to Neo.

   was just speculation.

   But now, when the paradox of "the 11th area of ​​the real world is destroyed" and "the 11th area of ​​the virtual world illusion is safe and sound" really happened in front of Yi Rin, Yi Rin affirmed one thing.

  Reality, virtuality, two worlds, no, or these two universes, are real universes that are interdependent and exist at the same time.

  The virtual world may be illusory at first, but when the **** "Nemesis" was born, the world of illusion became "real".

  Irin has the experience of traveling between "Real Unique" and "Time Artifact" in "Hyrakuen", and it didn't take much effort to think of this similar setting.

   "Maybe the information is wrong."

  Irin lowered her head and thought.

"Maybe 'Nemesis' is indeed a **** born after 'a group of crazy scholars uploaded their consciousness', but 'KK' has said that 'they' are 'Nemesis', and each of them is independent The conscious individual of , cannot be called 'Nemesis'."

   "Nemesis, the **** born in the virtual world."

   "So much so that its birth turned the virtual world into the real world."

   "In this way, it can become the 'container' that carries its authority."

   "I also fell into a misunderstanding before."

   "Even in its real universe, it can't really move its foundation if it destroys and takes away all its omnics."

   "Because, its foundation is not in the real world at all, but in... the virtual world."

   At the end of the analysis, Yi Rin smiled at Neil: "As expected of a god."

   "L, what shall we do next?"

   Neil asked.

"It's very simple." Yi Rin raised an index finger: "Its world fleet consists of 24 or more 'world ships' spliced ​​together. The reason why it can destroy the 11th area in reality without hesitation, It means that it doesn't matter to him at all."

   "It retains the 11th area of ​​the Mirage World, which means that there are two possibilities."

"One, the world of illusion cannot be easily destroyed; two, there are important things hidden in the world of illusion, and there are reasons why Nemesis can't destroy it, such as..." Yi Rin raised an index finger: "The core of the world ."

   "Of course, I prefer the second possibility."

  Neil frowned, began to think, and asked: "Where is the core of the world?"

"When the spark came and my blood incarnation was completely wiped out, I sneaked in here and started looking for it." Yi Rin sighed softly: "I have never dared to despise Nemesis over the years, after all, it is capable of Easily wipe out a planet, a world ship, a **** of the universe."

   "After all the hardships, I finally got here, with the attitude of... 'this'."

"However, I still underestimate how cautious it is. It's a thousand calculations, and it hides the 'core of the world' very well..." Suddenly, Irin explained to Neil what the 'core of the world' was. It stopped abruptly, and the words he had said inadvertently just now made him realize the violation.

  Irin scratched her forehead and fell into deeper thought.

"yes,"

"why?"

   "Since the virtual world is the 'main world' that it really cares about, and the real universe is a 'table world' that can be discarded at will, then its behavior is completely unreasonable."

   "No no no,"

   "Perhaps, that's why it makes sense."

  Irin slapped his scalp: "It's really good, Nemesis!"

   "You actually hid the 'core of the world' in a place where normal people can't even think about it!"

"Hahaha!"

  Irin covered her eyes with her right hand and laughed wildly.

   "L."

  Neil touched Irin's forehead.

   hugged his younger brother tightly, put the two weapon bays together, and comforted softly, "Don't cry."

   "Bah, I'm happy, happy!"

  Neil raised his hand high, obediently.

  Although she still doesn't understand what the "core of the world" is and can it be eaten.

   But looking at the attitude of the younger brother, it seems that this is a very important thing.

   So she volunteered to help her brother find this thing.

  Irin Now, the "core data" is parasitic in the virtual world of Nemesis, and he naturally cannot return to the real world.

   To find that thing, I really have to ask Neil, there is no other way.

   "I'll send you an encrypted file."

  Irin stretched out his finger and pointed it on Neil's forehead, and transmitted the encrypted file content to Neil.

After   Neil watched it, he didn't realize it and hurried off the assembly line.

   After Neil goes offline.

  Irin raised her head and looked at the cold sun.

   "Then, let's see now, I'm quicker, or you're quicker. Nemesis."

  …

  …

real world.

  Scorched earth.

   District 11.

  Neil suddenly sat up from the "illegal port". Survivors who had been observing the changes in Neil's form were all taken aback.

   "Two things."

  Neil encrypted his brother's instructions and kept them in the memory element.

   When she got off the line, she made a request to the elder directly: "Neil asks, check the 'history of mankind'."

The elder    was taken aback: "How do you know that we have the 'history of mankind'?"

   "My brother said that human beings are creatures who are accustomed to carry 'history' and move forward."

"Brother?" Bella was overjoyed when she heard this: "Have you found 'L'? Wait..." Bella knew what this meant, and after the shock, an incredible expression appeared on her face: "Neill , You mean, even if it was destroyed like this in District 11, the world of illusion still exists? Your brother, is now living in a virtual world?"

  Neil nodded, but she didn't answer Bella's question with nonsense, and stubbornly stretched out her hand to the elder, almost popping out the steel knife.

"ask."

"read."

   "Retrieve."

   "History of Mankind."

   "My brother said that this is the key to finding the 'key'."

After the elder    coughed violently in silence, at this point, he no longer doubted Neil's motives. Because the only people who are interested in human history are human beings. It is impossible for Nemesis to covet the history of mankind.

  Neil stood up, and after being fully charged, she was able to move normally.

  Charging turned out to be really happy, and it became addictive when plugged in.

   With Bella's help, the elder, Neil, and Bella came to the elder's residence.

  In the corner of the room, an old dusty box was placed. The elder calmly covered his mouth and nose, and patted the surface of the box a few times. Suddenly, the whole room was covered with gray dust, which would not disperse for a long time.

   It can be seen that this box has been around for many years and no one has cared about it.

"Your brother, L, the old man doesn't know if he's a human, or... omnic. But he's right, a human being is a creature accustomed to carry history on its back and carry it forward. History is not good or bad, Right or wrong, even if our ancestors regretted creating 'It', they still used a tone full of apology to record this history."

   "This is the 'historical text' that we have guarded from generation to generation"

   "It records the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors and the birth of 'Nemesis'."

"There are twenty-four volumes here..." the elder said slowly, just as he was about to introduce it in more detail, Neil stepped forward in a hurry, said "sorry", and struck the crumbling old man with a single blow. Old boxes smashed to pieces.

The twenty-four volumes of history books are well preserved. Although the boxes are old, the paper history books, on each page of the paper, can be discerned by the naked eye with a layer of light oily substance. "History books" are embalmed and maintained so that these "historical texts" can be passed on to the next generation after his death.

  Neil sat on the ground and started flipping through the book.

   She turned the book so fast that she didn't read it at all, but directly scanned it and recorded it in the memory element.

Her purpose is not to "understand" or "read". What she is doing now is to act as her brother's eyes, for her brother, to convert these histories into "encrypted e-books" verbatim. The next time she entered the world of illusion, she was able to pass this small file to her younger brother.

   "Brother must be very happy."

   "Will my brother praise Neil?"

   "Brother, you don't want your sister to be unhappy, do you?"

   While scanning the handwriting on it, Neil thought wildly, and said the process of "thinking" without modification, and the strange words echoed in the room.

  …

   aside.

  Bella and the elders stood side by side.

   They watched as an awakened omnic quickly scanned twenty-four volumes of "Historical Texts".

The elder    smiled quietly.

   The air in the room was too filthy, and with a smile, the elder couldn't help but start coughing.

  Bella hurriedly searched the room for a filter and a gas mask, trying to put it on the elder. But after two minutes of searching, Bella couldn't find it. The old man around her coughed more and more. She could only find out the towel that the elder used to cover his nose and mouth.

   "Elder, let's go out."

   Bella proposes.

   As she said that, she was about to take the elder out.

   But the strength of the elderly elder did not know where, Bella's thin arm just didn't move. She could only watch the elder stubbornly sit on the spot, sucking the dust in the room and coughing desperately.

   "Bella, you know what?"

The elder    looked at the humanoid skeleton that was quickly scanning the "historical text" and smiled: "The meaning of 'inheriting history' does not lie in who the inheritor is, but in history itself."

   "I have always believed that the reason why 'history' can be left is that our ancestors let us properly preserve 'historical texts', which has a unique meaning."

   "Perhaps, I am witnessing the end of 'history'."

   "No..." The elder shook his head: "Perhaps it is the 'history' itself that we have been guarding with all our 'history guardians' from generation to generation, when it has reached the 'finishing point' that it should have reached."

   After the elder finished speaking, he smiled and closed his eyes.

   "Our mission is over."

   "The mission of "Historical Text" has also ended! "
