Infinity Throne

Chapter 1167

It was raining lightly on the street.

Pedestrians held dark umbrellas.

Seen from a high place, the dark umbrellas form a grid, regular and indifferent.

Yi Lin entered an empty alley.

Walk from this end to that end.

The drizzle fell on him, as if there was an invisible curtain that separated it, revealing a hazy thin light.

Step by step, "Rhode" walked forward in the rain, dragging out strips of light composed of small numbers "1" and "0" behind him. The light strips formed a "white windbreaker" style on Rhodes like a whirlwind. It looked so dazzling in the crowd.

"Rhode" smiled slightly, pulled out his right hand in the void, and a wooden mask was generated out of thin air and put on his face.

There is a strange symbol on the forehead of the mask. At first glance, it looks like an "L". If you look closely, it looks like a "1", standing crookedly.

Yi Lin conjured up an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.

White clothes, oil umbrella, drizzle.

He passed by the ignorant and ignorant residents of Huaguang.

Every time he passed by someone, he would reach out with two fingers and tap the person's forehead with lightning speed.

Benedict.

"Have a wonderful night."

"Go to sleep."

Passersby fell.

Boom!

White figures flickered strangely in every corner of the city. Everywhere they went, someone fell.

roadside.

Inside the window.

The TV screen on the shelf is reporting a piece of news.

"Recently, a strange 'mass syncope' phenomenon occurred in M City."

The news reporter was a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes. She was lowering her head and reading the newsletter on the table while playing the news in an emotionless tone.

"Some experts said that this may be a probabilistic event caused by the recent seasonal changes and the weather being hot and cold. The cause may be vaso-neurotic syncope."

"Since the first case of the disease, a total of 1,236 patients have appeared in multiple cities."

"Relevant experts say that vasoneurous syncope is a transient functional disorder that will not leave any sequelae. However, if syncope occurs after recovery, gibbering or abnormal behavior, please contact the relevant departments immediately and call the phone number XXXXX.”

There's a first time and there's a second time.

Yi Lin has learned how to mass-produce "Awakened Ones".

Based on his current understanding of the power of "omnics" and his experience as a "Nightmare Knight", it is not difficult for a "Phantom Light Resident" to accidentally open his eyes and take a look at the real world. And just as Yi Lin expected, the increase in awakened people made the omnics aware of obvious abnormalities. If they were not stupid, they should have understood that someone was doing something secretly.

It was only a matter of time before he was discovered. Yi Lin was thinking about one thing. Nemesis' reaction speed was much slower than he expected. Did he overestimate Nemesis before? Or is there something inside Nemesis that he cannot understand?

The drizzle became heavier and heavier, and the big raindrops hit Yilin's umbrella as if they were going to kill someone.

Yilin lowered his head, stared at the time on his watch, and began to count down.

Countdown to tens of seconds later.

Not far away, a public phone box rang.

Yi Lin stepped forward quickly and picked up the phone: "Since you decided to connect with me, there is no need to talk nonsense. This call will only last 24 seconds. After 24 seconds, the hunter will detect where I am. location and cordon off the area."

"who are you?"

On the other side of the "call" is a woman named Bella.

A week ago, they received an anonymous letter, saying that they had learned the location of "Ark No. 11" through Tang En.

Yi Rin only sent a brief message.

The airy words "Miss, you don't want the location of the Ark to be discovered, right?" The opponent's defense was completely broken.

As a last resort, Bella was arranged to negotiate with an anonymous mysterious man.

"You...were hunted by the Hunters 'again'?" Bella's tone changed: "Where is your login terminal? With all due respect, I don't think it can be well preserved outside of the 'Ark' 'illegal port'."

"What if it's legal?" Yi Lin smiled slightly, but glanced outside the eighteen streets. A bright figure, like a jet, flew towards this direction at high speed in the air. Yi Lin closed his eyes. Open and close your eyes: "It took 3 seconds less than I thought. We can't talk today. I'll visit you another day."

"Huh?" Bella was startled by the other party's conversational style.

"Bella, right?" Yi Lin said the other person's name easily: "Goodbye."

"Wait, wait!" Bella said urgently, "Who are you?"

"...I am, L."

Du-du-du--

…

After several contacts, Yi Lin's purpose was just to get in touch with the other party, not really to discuss the important matter of "anti-Nirvana" here.

After many hesitations, the other party seemed to finally choose to believe in him.

Knocking Tang En offline with one punch has proven his strength.

Tsk, it’s still a little late.

Next.

Boom!

A familiar figure fell from the sky and landed suddenly in the middle of the street.

Circles of shock waves visible to the naked eye spread from the girl's feet to the surroundings, and cracks appeared on the surface of the building.

The residents in the city suddenly stopped all movements, and the colors on their bodies seemed to be washed away by heavy rain, changing from "color" to "black and white" style.

Breathing, heartbeat, everything stopped suddenly.

"Hey, new technology?"

Yi Lin looked at the short-haired sister standing a hundred meters away, slowly pulling out a long knife from the void.

Alice-101, anthropomorphic character: NieR.

This is the fourth time Yi Lin stands opposite Neil as "L".

The first time Neil found the "L" it took 329 seconds.

The second time, 225 seconds.

The third time, 118 seconds.

The fourth time, 21 seconds.

Obviously, Neil's search engine is evolving. Once Yi Lin appears and makes some moves, Neil will focus on her and find her true location within 21 seconds.

No.

To be precise, it's not that Neil's search engine is evolving. Everything in this universe is under the control of Nemesis. It is not Nier who evolves, but Nemesis.

When Yi Lin repeatedly disassembled Alice-101 for major maintenance, she observed the nanoworm lying on Alice's neck at close range and noticed this.

The bug is getting fatter and fatter.

Without any dialogue, Neil flicked his sword and slashed down in the direction of Yi Lin.

The twisted light of the knife divided the street and the city into two halves. What was cut open by the knife was the distinct black and white space in front of us.

There is no prologue, no special dialogue. Neil didn't know that the "L" who was secretly causing trouble in front of him had another identity as her good brother. The apparent hostile relationship made Neil have no intention of chatting with "L".

Neil was faithfully carrying out his "mission."

Command lines that do not involve "brother" will not cause basic logical conflicts.

Now she is powerful, beautiful, courageous, and a perfect omnic.

laugh.

The flowing knife light was as unpredictable as liquid. After splitting the phone booth where Yi Lin was, the phone booth was divided into two halves, and then turned into a broken data stream and disappeared from this alien space without a trace.

Neal blocked all possible "exits" nearby. This time, she calculated all possible escape routes for "L", and there was no way for him to escape.

Beep beep beep.

Under the silver hair, Neil's eyes flashed, and she was reading the data of "L".

But the perfect analysis was once again inaccurate. In the eyes of "omnics", the mysterious "L" is like a black hole, unable to read any useful feedback.

After a few ups and downs, Yi Lin jumped up to the roof, looking down at Neil.

The city has been completely sealed off, and there are a total of 560 "Hunters" surrounding it.

They are coming here from different directions.

After smashing the phone booth with a knife, Neil used the knife again. The knife was fatal. The 100-meter-high building was cut into squares by Neil and suspended in the sky.

"never mind."

After several close encounters, Yi Lin dodged, as if teleporting, and flew a few kilometers away, and sighed softly: "No more fun."

He pointed at Neil's cell phone and took out a palm-sized cell phone from his trouser pocket.

Neil was stunned.

"Times have changed." Yi Lin smiled and pressed the "off button" on her phone: "Who said you can't 'log out' without 'exiting'?"

The next second, "Rhode", which was supporting Yi Lin's core data, fell from the suspended building fragments.

Boom!

It was smashed to pieces on the ground.

Neil looked at "Rhodes' corpse" on the ground with a cold expression. After watching for a moment, she pressed her palm lightly to her ear and began to mechanically execute the next step of instructions: repair and restart the "maintenance area".

…

The weather is clear today, the haze is thin, and the star rings in outer space are looming.

Yi Lin opened the window and stared at the star ring, lost in thought.

In the past few days, the stars in outer space have become denser than before, like a large airtight net. It doesn't give people a gorgeous and wonderful feeling, but a kind of depression called "nowhere to escape".

now.

In Yi Lin's house.

On the fixed frame, the caliper tightly clamps an "Alice".

This is a blank model that has not been loaded with any "intelligence" and is equivalent to a shell.

It was shipped here directly from the factory, not even coated, with a pure metallic color.

"Sister, you should have guessed it."

The reason why Neil reacted so quickly is that she probably locked the terminal that "L" invaded, which should be in the "Morning Star Mine". Otherwise, Alice-101 would not have appeared in the illusion world so quickly.

While drinking the clarified and fresh engine oil, Yi Lin wore a mecha and sat by the window for two hours.

Gradually, acid rain began to fall outside the house.

The star ring is dimmed by haze and light pollution.

Click, click, click.

"Brother, take care of yourself."

Today, it was rare for Alice to open her energy suit for protection, allowing her body surface to withstand the corrosion of acid rain.

When they arrived at the house, Yi Lin stroked Alice's armor plate distressedly: "Look at you, the plating has been soaked off."

Alice did not mention the hunt for "L" in the "Phantom Light" world not long ago, and obediently opened her arms in front of Yi Lin.

Yi Lin skillfully removed Alice's armor plates, sanded, polished, removed rust, and oiled them.

The humanoid skeleton under Alice's armor and the configuration inside the cabin are all exposed in front of Yi Lin. It looks a bit ferocious and terrifying, but in fact, generally unfamiliar omnics will not regard this "unprepared" picture. A candid stance.

Whether you say "trust" is good or "the level of trust is too high", this is a small "cordiality" between "Alice-101" and "L-1010".

Under the bright light, the corrosion marks caused by Alice-101 being deliberately exposed to rain were completely removed by Yi Lin. When it was reinstalled, Alice-101 was restored to like new again.

"alright!"

Yilin patted Alice on the back and sent her out the door.

"Be careful from now on, sister."

The acid rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Alice still didn't turn on the energy suit. Yi Lin could only get an umbrella from the door and hold it up for Alice.

This umbrella was also a gift from Alice to her brother.

Before leaving.

Alice fell silent for the first time in a long time.

Her eyes flickered, one bright and one dark. Yi Lin is very familiar with this. This is the performance of "Alice type" when logical operations get "tangled".

After a while.

"L."

Alice spoke her mind.

"Brother" is "L".

"Hey~"

Yi Lin agreed, there was nothing she couldn't do. He is a bachelor in this universe, honest and upright.

"Why?" Alice tilted her head: "Why do you want to resist the 'Supreme Council'?"

She still seemed to stubbornly believe that her brother and she were from the same race, and the reason why he became "L" was because something went wrong. Maybe there was something wrong because he updated the system too many times. This is also a common failure of many omnics, officially called "update disease".

If something goes wrong with the update, it’s not difficult to fix it. The first is to find system vulnerabilities, and the second is to roll back to an updated version and fix bugs with too high version numbers to solve them easily.

Yi Lin smiled: "Actually, I wanted you to wake up at first, but later I found that this was impossible. Just like this umbrella."

Yi Lin handed the umbrella in her hand to Alice.

"You are all under its protection."

Alice threw the umbrella aside: "Alice-101, has an energy suit."

But when she was about to open the energy suit to take shelter from the rain, she found that she couldn't open it.

【Fault. 】

A malfunction alarm appeared in front of Alice's eyes.

Yilin tampered with her body during maintenance.

"Look, your 'protection' doesn't seem to be that secure."

Yi Lin flicked her fingers, and a layer of light appeared above their heads.

"Now that I've said it..."

Yi Lin suddenly reached out and put a little bit on Alice's neck.

laugh.

A dazzling light penetrated Alice's neck, shot straight into the sky, and broke through the haze.

After easily crushing the "nanometer" on the back of Alice's neck, a small chip fell into Yi Lin's hand.

"Alice-101" fell down in front of Yi Lin.

But soon, "Alice-101" staggered back to its feet.

In front of "Alice-101", Yi Lin installed the "Personality Module" of "Alice-101" into the new body.

"I can't understand your behavior."

A hollow electronic tone came from the sound-producing components of "Alice-101" which stood up again.

"'Me'?" After quickly transferring Alice's anthropomorphic module to the new body, Yi Lin heard the words and turned around: "Who are you?"

Nemesis has always called itself "us" because it is essentially a collection of "consciousnesses".

Yi Lin noticed this strange thing and realized that the person transferred to Alice was not the "Nemesis" he knew.

"You can call me 'KK'."

"I see." Yi Lin suddenly realized: "This is what I have never been able to understand, about the existence of the 'Supreme Council' in the concept of omnics. It turns out that you 'Nemesis' is a collection of unified yet dispersed consciousnesses. .So, in their eyes, you are the 'Parliament', not 'Nemesis'."

"Yes." KK admitted bluntly: "We all want to be 'Nemesis', but at present, only 'we' are Nemesis."

To put it simply, Nemesis is a collection of "consciousness groups", and together they are the God of Omnic Machines. But they can be divided into independent conscious individuals, and they can only be seen as "gods" through external expression.

"You still have ten seconds to make a decision." KK said calmly: "Now that you are no longer the agent of 'Nightmare', you are qualified to join 'us'. 'We' have already passed an internal vote. With 76% of the votes, you qualified to 'join us'."

"What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, we will activate an emergency plan: format Area 11."

"ten."

"Nine."

"eight."

Part of Nemesis: KK, counting down relentlessly.

"six."

"five."

"Four."

"three."

"two."

"one."
