Infinity Throne

The surprise came so suddenly, leaving Yilin unprepared and unprepared.

With Alice's help, he was actually able to log into "Phantom Light" "fairly" and no longer had to use his own methods.

Yeah, fair and square.

It is still officially recognized.

Therefore, Yi Lin came to a conclusion.

There's nothing wrong with being a younger brother.

A night of silence.

Yi Lin is very well-behaved and quiet.

He rarely got any sleep.

Peace of mind.

When I opened my eyes again, the alarm clock rang.

The sky is once again obscured by haze and light pollution, and the eternal "rings" of outer space are covered by haze.

It started to rain lightly today.

Sister Alice said that the "acid rain" climate is the natural enemy of omni-devices, which will accelerate the aging of parts and increase maintenance costs.

She specially ordered a combat umbrella and gave it to Yi Lin.

The frame of the umbrella is made of a special alloy with excellent electrical conductivity and anti-corrosion properties. It can be turned into an umbrella knife in a snap and can easily chop low-level intelligent machines.

She said that this is called "gift giving" and is a common way to express "intimacy" in the world of "illusion light".

Yi Lin found it strange that Alice was meticulous in saying a good thing.

Of course, Alice doesn't actually need it. A new model like hers comes with too many functions. I saw the light flowing on Alice's surface, creating an invisible "energy suit" on the body surface, easily blocking the raindrops from the armor plate.

She thought it was impossible for Yi Lin's old model to have such a function.

Yi Lin did not brush off her sister's kindness, holding an umbrella and going deep into the Morning Star Mine.

The two mechas, one behind the other, galloped for a distance at high speed.

Alice secretly thinned part of the "energy clothing", and then she pointed to her chest, where a shallow stain was corroded: "It needs maintenance again."

Yi Lin secretly wondered where Alice had secretly learned some strange tricks.

There are literary masters in the omnic community who are writing short essays. It is normal to write some plots that humans cannot understand and sympathize with.

But your maintenance is too frequent.

Yi Lin muttered in her heart, but there was no emotion on her face. After muttering a few times, her brother agreed, saying that he would give her sister a comprehensive maintenance, inside and out.

…

Sister Alice means what she says.

She seemed to have really applied for a special assembly order for the "10th generation biomass conversion power furnace" for Yilin.

After approval from above, the corresponding accessories will be sent here, and a dedicated person will modify it for Yilin.

Of course Yi Lin doesn't need it.

But if Alice told her about this in advance, he could think of how to deceive her in advance.

or,

Install it for WALL-E?

Yi Lin is now gradually reaching the peak of mechanical life, and she never forgets to promote her friends who were struggling in the garbage dump together.

Let’s not mention this matter for now.

The order is still on the way.

In the passage of the mine, the two brothers and sisters jetted all the way to the transport device.

Getting on the bus is a period of waiting.

As for the facilities in the mine, you can say they are advanced. Yi Lin feels that such a large mine is not even willing to put in "space transmission technology", which makes Nemesis look too small. But if you call it backward, a national-level mine that has implemented fully automated mechanized management can hardly be related to "backwardness".

Speaking of Nemesis.

Yi Lin had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask her sister what kind of status Nemesis was in her heart.

In the information he had access to, there was never a word about "Nemesis".

After thinking about this for a while, Yi Lin vaguely understood.

As a god, only by staying away from the "mundane" vision can we enhance our "god" status.

As for Teacher Nirvana, as a mere god of weapons, if he interacts with ordinary omni-devices or human slaves, he will lose his composure.

However, in Sister Alice's concept, there are only vague concepts such as "Supreme Council", "Factory", and "Superior", and there is no "Nemesis".

This made Yi Lin feel a little strange.

Maybe the "Supreme Council" that Sister Alice has always been taboo about is the spokesperson of "Nemesis".

In other words, in Sister Alice's concept, there is no "Nemesis", only the "Supreme Council".

While thinking about it.

The siblings arrived at their destination.

The destination is a towering building that takes into account both the building function itself and the role of a signaling tower.

Yi Lin didn't rush to inquire about the "Phantom Light" on the way. After all, he had already sneaked in, and he would naturally know it when he got to the destination.

In the official setting, this tower is called the "Morning Tower" and is the central area of ​​the mine.

The Morning Light Tower has 312 floors and is 2,824 meters high.

Lights of different colors flicker on the surface of the tower, like tracks of light woven around the surface of the tower.

Hidden under the steel plates, there are many hidden seams. Compared with the tower itself, it is also made into a "weapon".

Yi Lin always felt that omnic weapons seemed a bit redundant in the Nemesis universe.

It wasn't until he actually entered the world of illusion in an official capacity that he understood why.

…

Alice-101 took Yi Lin to the 200th floor.

Every tenth floor, ID verification is required.

At the bottom, there are some "managers" who are responsible for maintaining the operation of the Dawn Tower together with the omnics.

They all call Alice "Ms. Alice-101".

Every manager wears heavy protective clothing and works silently on each floor of the Morning Light Tower. In Area 11, the air pollution is serious. It is difficult for ordinary humans to survive in this harsh environment without wearing any protective equipment.

The 200th floor is a room with clean and white walls. The light-emitting components on the walls make it day and night.

In the room, hundreds of silver seats were arranged neatly, just like the seats in a movie theater, with many humanoid omnics sitting on them, silently.

cybercafe?

This strange sense of déjà vu suddenly came to Yi Lin's mind.

so similar.

"Come on, this is the 'Phantom Light Terminal'."

"Alice-101" waved to Yi Lin and found a private room, which looked like a "couple seat" and was separated by several seats from other seats.

Alice took the initiative to sit in one of the seats and demonstrated the operation process for Yi Lin.

After "Alice-101" sat firmly, the silver seat suddenly seemed to flow like a liquid, matching Alice's body shape, soaking most of Alice's body in it. From the outside, Alice and The seat seemed to be fused into one body, leaving only the two weapon bays on the chest rising out of the surface.

This is obviously because the front weapons bay of the "Alice" is designed to be too large and cannot be completely covered by the seats.

Failure, failure within failure.

Yi Lin secretly complained about Nemesis's rubbish design. Tiny optical cables were separated from the seat that was suspected to be liquid memory metal, and lightly covered Alice's surface.

"What interface does this use?"

Yi Lin scratched his head. He had to ask in advance, otherwise it would be embarrassing if there was no corresponding docking port preset on the L-shaped one. Wouldn't it reveal his identity as an intruder?

"Hee hee hee."

Alice simulated laughter: "Silly brother, this is electromagnetic wave transmission. As long as the terminal is authorized to enter the exact same frequency as your 'Personality Module', the link can be completed."

"……wireless?"

"Um."

"understood."

It turns out Nemesis knows how to use Wifi, he is indeed a god.

It’s just that the wifi is really short.

"Sister, go ahead." The lights on Alice's eyes went out, and her voice became weaker and weaker: "Brother, come in quickly, access the "Phantom Light" permission, and the grant is complete. "

You said it quite easily.

After Yi Lin witnessed Alice entering the "World of Illusion Light", her transparent perception was released, and she had a panoramic view of the architectural layout of the "Morning Light Tower".

Safety.

Yi Lin put her hand on the surface of the silver seat and began to analyze its characteristics.

After a while.

"So that's it," Yi Lin let go of her hand and thought to herself: "The principle is not complicated. The 'personification module' of each omnimachine has a fixed frequency. Combined with their batch numbers, a series of unique keys can be generated. This is like the ID card of each omni-machine. It is unique. The omni-machine has no authority to tamper with it on its own. You only need to enter this 'identity ID' in advance in the corresponding terminal to complete the authorization, which is equivalent to password echoing."

But now Yi Lin's only problem is that his "core data" is not carried in the omnium, but in the blood avatar.

But this doesn't seem to be a problem either. Yi Lin has the experience of sneaking into the "World of Illusion" secretly, because the box they are in is Alice-sama's couple's box, so it is very safe. Yi Lin separated part of her authority and easily infected this terminal, turning it into her own shape.

Lying on the seat, the terminal actively changes its shape and wraps Yi Lin inside.

Unlike the Alice model, Yi Lin's model is completely flat, with only the head exposed to the silver liquid.

【Deep dive. 】

[L-1010 applies to enter the ‘Phantom Light Terminal’. 】

[Authorization passed. 】

[Verification passed. 】

[‘Anthropomorphic character’ has not been created yet. 】

[Enter the character creation interface. 】

The illusory stream of light flew straight back at high speed within Yi Lin's field of vision.

The granular broken light spread out a strip of light in Yi Lin's field of vision, gorgeous and luxurious.

Yi Lin had the illusion of traveling through a time tunnel.

At the end of the light is a pure white room.

In the room, there is a human-shaped white torso floating in the void in the shape of a large font.

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, gender, name, all are blank.

Yi Lin feels that her current situation is unexplainable.

First he pretended to be an omnic, and now he is pretending to be a "human" from an omnic.

After going round and round, I still returned to the starting point.

Skillfully pinching her face, Yi Lin naturally shaped the face of the "anthropomorphic character" into the look she was most comfortable with.

No, this is a bit dangerous.

Yi Lin squeezed it, thinking something was wrong. Could it be that Nemesis didn't even have facial recognition function?

Think about it.

Yi Lin's thoughts moved, and she sighed softly, and then a faint feeling of nostalgia surged in her heart.

The facial features of the illusory doll were shaped bit by bit under Yi Lin's careless carving.

[Please enter ‘anthropomorphic name’. 】

"Lin Yi."

[Creation completed. 】

[Start loading the ‘personification module’. 】

Yi Lin's eyes blurred, and she felt a sense of weightlessness.

When he opened his eyes again, his consciousness was uploaded to the avatar of "Lin Yi".

Lin Yi was wearing a crisp black suit, his hair was combed back and shiny. On Lin Yi's face, he was wearing a pair of expensive-looking sunglasses, and lines of messy code danced in the field of vision of the sunglasses from time to time.

Becoming human again.

Become Lin Yi.

Yi Lin would not be unfamiliar with this feeling.

He looked down.

The dark and shiny leather shoes under his feet have two pedals on the left and right.

In the distance, there is a straight narrow passage.

At the end of the passage, there is light.

Boo hoo hoo.

Streamers of different colors on both sides jumped forward.

He seemed to have landed on the accelerating magnetic track launched by the mecha.

boom.

['Hunter', number: L-1010 (Lin Yi), ready to launch. 】

[Now countdown to launch. 】

【ten. 】

【Nine. 】

【emission! 】

Yi Lin, who looked confused, was sprayed out of the orbit.

…

The exit of the launch orbit is thousands of meters in the air.

When Yi Lin was sprayed out, the dark night and the bright moon were reflected behind the sunglasses.

In mid-air, Yi Lin reached the apex of the parabola and glided forward.

"How do I land?"

Yi Lin was high in the air, stroking her chin, lost in thought.

"younger brother!"

A nimble and slender figure moved at high speed among the tall buildings in the distance.

Boom!

The figure was on the top floor of one of the buildings, pressing down his legs like springs, and a second later, he lifted straight into the air.

Ignoring any rules of gravity and inertia, he shouted for his younger brother, accurately calculated the parabola landing point of "Lin Yi's cannonball", and before Yi Lin was about to land, he reached out and hugged Yi Lin tightly, and embraced her gently. .

The person hugging Yi Lin was a woman.

Her short silver hair reaches her shoulders, and she wears a pair of small sunglasses on her fair nose. On her round left earlobe, there is a cute teardrop-shaped earring. The earrings are engraved with the word "Alice" in the center. The lady is wearing a tight casual skirt, with an elegant light gray ribbon tied around the collar of a white blouse. Her two long legs are tightly wrapped in elegant but not excessive black silk, and she wears a pair of black pants on her feet. Round toe heels. The height of the heels is just right, making the arches of your feet curve smoothly.

"sister?"

Yi Lin allowed herself to be held by the newcomer, ignoring the inertia and gently falling into the mediocre crowd.

The strange thing is that in the densely populated three-way intersection between high-rise buildings, the two people who fell from the sky seemed to be transparent and did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone was busy with their own things, or immersed in their own things. Messages on your phone.

"Alice-101" reluctantly let go of her brother. She expressionlessly brushed one side of her silver hair that was blown by the wind to her ear, and explained in a voice without any emotion: "In 'Phantom Light', the action mode is Different from the outside, the first time you connect to 'Phantom Light', it may take a while for the buffering process."

"Really?" Yi Lin closed her eyes and took in it carefully. Indeed, Alice was right. There were subtle differences in the feelings that the two bodies gave him when he connected to the Phantom Light in an "official capacity" and "smuggled into" the Phantom Light. But the specific differences would be revealed in a moment. Rin couldn't describe it in words, but if he had to say it...it seemed that he could do whatever he wanted to anything and anyone now.

That's probably what it feels like.

"Lin Yi." Alice read Yi Lin's "character information". In her concept, she would not evaluate the quality of a "name". In other words, in Alice's eyes, a "name" is just a code name. has not been given any special meaning.

"My character is 'NieR.'"

Ellie said.

"NieR? Nier? That sounds good." Yi Lin praised it without thinking at first, and then asked curiously: "Sister, didn't you say that you... ahem, we don't need a 'name'?" Yi Lin asked.

Alice felt that Yi Lin's question was a bit strange, and she seemed to be asking it knowingly: "The name of the 'anthropomorphic character' is 'NieR' and has no connection with 'Alice-△-101'. "

For a moment, Yi Lin had the illusion that her sister was deliberately playing tricks on her.

But when she turned around to look at it, Alice looked serious when she said this, without even the slightest hint of joking. It was obvious that in her logic, "NieR" was a virtual character, and "Alice-△-101" was the real one. For her, the distinction between the two is clear.
