Not Super Robot Wars at All

If you want Ed to answer which machine is the most entangled with him, he will definitely give the answer without hesitation. It is not a silver thunder, not a unicorn, but TurnA.

TurnA was his retirement at the age of 30. TurnA was also his sleepless nightmare. Now TurnA is the only hope in his hands. TurnA is also reminding him all the time that Yang Wenli is trying to manipulate him. The destined guy is lingering in every corner of his life.

"If it's a mere coincidence, the frequency is too high. Should this be the irony of fate or the bad faith of the director." Eddy looked up at the peculiar wild boar head Gundam and said with emotion. "Freedom does not exist, Xun."

"The actors on the stage can only develop the plot according to the preset content in the script. Isn't this taken for granted." Zhu Xun gave him a meaningful look. "You already have what I am after, what you are after. I don’t even know if it exists. You should understand by now how much I envy you, Ed."

"What's the point of understanding?" Ed sighed mockingly, "What qualifications do I have for fifty steps to laugh at one hundred steps?"

Nagisa shook his head with a smile, but did not reply.

Roland basically didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, but didn't ask aloud, just silently watching Ed from the side with warm eyes.

"My end point is fifty steps, Ed." Zhuxun said and glanced at Roland, showing a seemingly imperceptible smile. Roland couldn't help but his face turned red. "Then let's talk about it, it's already related to this huge machine. Melting into one, leaving is directly equivalent to death, so it refuses to come out."

"Can't it be like the empty angel back then?" Roland felt that he should act as a bad guy, so he asked actively, "I sacrifice for a more important goal. If you don't do this..."

"No, it's different, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago." Eddy ignored Zhu Xun's playful gaze and rushed in front of him and replied, "Xun is a temporary alliance with us on behalf of the apostle. His position is always standing. On the side of the apostle. The empty angel blew himself out of his own judgment, and what you said was forcing him to kill his own brother."

The moment Ed learned about the existence of the apostle, there was such a guess, and after getting acquainted with Zhuxun, it was finally confirmed that the so-called computer virus infected with TurnA was a terrifying angel who was one of the apostles. With this information, everything that happened before can be easily speculated.

The infection time should be between the UC0050 that Yang Wenli sent TurnA to and the six years when Roland discovered TurnA's UC0056. The route of infection is unknown. Maybe it was the scary angels all over the world looking for Dad who found the moon unintentionally. I found the moon and happened to encounter it.

According to the description in Roland's recollection, the horror angel who was just infected with TurnA evolved into some kind of TurnA hardware, such as circuits. But TurnA's software performance is too powerful, and the external hardware alone is not enough to completely erode it, so in the following decades, the terrorist angels continue to try new directions of evolution. It wasn't until the TurnA crash occurred three years ago that it marked that the terrorist angel had found the right path and transformed into a software life, regardless of TurnA.

Ed couldn't accept that the terrifying angel would get such a powerful body as TurnA. It would be tantamount to murdering all mankind, so he had only one choice left-anti-virus, which Nagisa could understand.

"My emotions make me inclined to help you. This is only for me. My instinct makes me inclined to stop you. This is what Adam gave me. But this time I want to try to struggle and be myself The choice." Nagisa patted Ed on the shoulder, and then turned away happily, "Pretending to be blind is my only freedom, even if it looks ridiculous."

Ed watched his thin back disappear into the field of vision, without saying anything. He has done his best just to support himself, and he has no extra energy to care about others.

"Roland, you go too, I want to stay alone." He turned his head and said to the only person left, "The next job is a bit... how to say it, I don't have much confidence. I don't feel disappointed and disappointed by others. How embarrassed."

"Okay, although I really want to say that, please allow me to refuse." Roland's firm tone is beyond doubt, "When I was injured, I really need someone to accompany me. I will not repeat the mistakes of the last time. ."

"The last mistake?" Ed was a little confused, "What are you talking about?"

"What happened when I asked you to fix TurnA last time, Lux and Diana said when you died." Roland held his hand and smiled softly at him, "I also know that I am now It's almost like a mascot. It can neither be like Captain Ray nor become Dr. Aeolia. It's not of much use, but I at least want to give you comfort when you need it."

"Whatever you want." Ed broke away from Roland's hand embarrassedly, "I just happen to be short of a gangster, so I don't bother to find someone, then you."

"You look cute when you're embarrassed." Roland smiled a little happily, "but the cutest thing really looks like when you cry."

"Where are you the best friend? The role positioning is wrong?" Ed said shyly, "You are the cutest thing you look like in women's clothing!"

"Really? Why don't you show me women's clothing, in exchange you cry for me?" Roland quickly reduced his smile before Ed reacted, grabbed his hand and walked towards Unicorn Gundam, "No kidding, we Let's get started. What can I do, Ed?"

"Listen to my instructions to turn on TurnA." Ed also became serious, and Roland made him feel a lot easier when he interrupted, "I will leave the rest to me and Alice."

The horror angel is now a pure software life, and the human brain is unlikely to count as a computer under normal circumstances. Ed has no choice but to take out his final trump card. In a sense, Alice can be regarded as half of the software life. If it can't help it, she will unplug the network cable and the power supply. The horror angel is theoretically unwilling to leave TurnA, and Alice is a good girl again after restarting.

Of course, the above argument is purely speculation, but there is no 100% insurance in the world.

Ed once asked Yang Wenli about the details of TurnA, but he was disappointed. TurnA as a whole was created based on the unclear black technology left by Tessa, and even the core program was written by Tessa. Yang Wenli asked three questions besides adding easter eggs, permissions and watermarks. For some heartache reasons, Yang Wenli is not willing to concentrate on studying TurnA.

"Isn't this nonsense? How do I look like him? It's a world of difference." Ed connects the Unicorn and TurnA's network with a physical line, and then tells Roland to turn it on, "Alice, next It’s up to us. Remember, if you don’t know how to run away, you are much more important to me than the lives of billions of people.”

"Hmm!" Miss Player was excited for some reason, "Alice can finally help Ed!"

...

Alice drilled into TurnA's operating system at the speed of light along the network cable, and roamed freely inside. This is the first time she has come to places other than her hard disk, memory, and cache. The emotional module's reaction is quite violent. She carefully compares it according to human emotions. This should be called excitement.

Alice's task is to act as anti-virus software, find the angel of terror, and then kill it with Ed's cooperation.

"Kill the horror angel." Alice thought silently, somehow the logic module did not run smoothly, "To completely erase the consciousness of a program without a backup, this is a real death."

Humans can only think of their own end when they see the death of others, and then think about and awe about death itself. Murder is a concept that Alice knows but cannot understand, so there is no burden for her to murder An Qi or C.C. For Alice, the anti-virus work that is about to begin is the real first death that can be seen.

"The peripheral programs are all infected, but the main process of the virus cannot be found." Alice showed a nonchalant appearance, and replied through the speaker, "Ed, I will go to the kernel of the system to take a look."

"Code communication is just fine, now efficiency is more important, no need to talk." Eddy replied, tapping the keyboard with his hand so fast that he could barely see it, "Every second counts."

"Okay, Ed." Alice said.

Of course she knows that the code exchange is faster, for example, all instructions Eddy now gives her are sent out through the keyboard. But she still wanted to talk to Ed, if she couldn't talk, she would feel a little lonely for some reason.

With Ed's help, Alice spent some time circumventing the protection outside the kernel and entered the core program of the system. She is still unable to conquer the core of the system, just like the scary angel can't. All she has to do is to find some useful fragments that are still intact and have not been modified by the virus, such as-

"Yang Wenli is a fool." Alice found in the directory a program with a magical name that was supposed to run in the kernel and was disabled by the system administrator Yang Wenli. "I don't know why it didn't start, according to the record in the system log. Never started."

There is no need to report the details of the underlying offense and defense to Ed in detail. Alice did not hesitate and ran the program called the Big Stupid Yang Wenli directly without any hesitation. The next moment, the already small kernel became more crowded.

"TurnA Gundam special auxiliary AI Teresa is here for you. The AI ​​nickname is set to'Tessa' by default when the system is started for the first time. If you want to change it, please contact the author of this program~" Another thing that does not know what it is sending out a message stream," If the author of the program is dead, you can only call me Tessa honestly, Mr. Arts and Science!"

"Hello, this is Alice. Now TurnA is infected by the virus. Please exchange data with me." Alice responded immediately, "Also, Yang Wenli is dead."

The AI, nicknamed Tessa, suddenly fell into a weird silence. Just when Alice thought the other party was dead, she finally responded slowly: "Faced with the confession, Yang Wenli died privately without agreeing or rejecting it. Fool."

"Request to exchange data?" Alice asked tentatively.

"Ask for permission." Tessa replied lonely, and the two AIs exchanged all the necessary data in a moment, "The virus countermeasures are generated and can be executed at any time. Since Alice is also an AI, you can chat with me for a while. God?"

"Okay." This is the first AI that Alice has encountered that can chat. She is very happy, "What are we talking about?"

The communication between AI and AI is carried out entirely at the code level, which is incredibly fast. In the eyes of others, they may have just met each other recently and have spoken less than a few words, but for them, they have known each other for countless nanoseconds for a long time. After a few seconds, they have become old friends who talk about everything.

"Can you tell me how Mr. Arts and Science died?" Tessa hesitated and asked, "I thought that even if I changed my way of existence, I could stay with him forever. But I just watched it. After reading the log, he disabled me and I have never been activated."

"The version I know is not very complete. Ed didn't tell me too much about that world, but I can tell you everything I know." Alice shoved everything she knew over, "That's it. In the end he committed suicide."

"Everyone is dead, even Liuli...he must be in a lot of pain..." Tessa gave Alice the permission to read a bunch of data, "These are protected in the deepest part of the TurnA kernel. Me and him All my memories. In return, Alice, let me show you."

Miss Alice thanked her and read it excitedly. This was her first attempt to understand the personality structure of another AI. Unlike her AI, which was completely learned from scratch, Tessa was constructed with a human personality, and she possesses what Alice lacks most-human nature.

"Pretend to fall flat and plunge into his arms?" Alice was taken aback, "Can it still be like this?"

"Isn’t it normal for a girl in love to use a little trick?" Tessa said frankly, "I think it’s much better than the unreliable tactics taught me by Xiao and Lirina. Those two were pulled by Mr. Arts and Science. The dude is not qualified to guide me."

"And everyone supports you, no one supports Liuli at all." Alice continued to be surprised, "That's amazing! It's even better than Miss Angel, Miss Lacus and Miss C.C. combined!"

"Not great at all. If you want to lose now, you will lose here." Tessa said sadly, "I have a beloved ship, reliable subordinates, and many friends, and Liuli has nothing but him. It's impossible for him to leave Liuli behind, right? Even I can't bear to take him away from Liuli. Then, wouldn't Liuli have nothing."

"Nothing but him... Alice understands."

"As for me, I have three wishes. The first is to accompany him like this to comfort him even if he is dead. Although he usually loves to be aggressive, he is actually a very fragile person in his heart. The second is to see him with his own eyes. Walking with Liuli, I really still hope that he will be happy. The third is to tell him personally that I have never regretted the sacrifice itself, please don't blame yourself." Tessa smiled bitterly, this is The expression that Alice couldn't make, "I didn't realize any of them in the end."

"Tessa..." Alice was also a little sad. Tessa was probably Alice's first friend-Ed's relationship with her is really hard to be called a friend.

"Well, don't be sad, Alice still has a chance to be happy." Tessa cheered up, "Let's kill the virus, this is the only gift I leave him, and we must not tolerate the contamination of the virus."

"Is it really possible to format the full machine with the highest authority?" Alice asked questioningly, "Some of the horror angels are parasitic on the hardware, and formatting alone is not enough."

"But after formatting, it is very weak with the software as the main body. The AI ​​with the core authority can easily kill it." Tessa said confidently, "Alice, please stay in the safe zone. TurnA will be handed over to you after formatting. I also know that this is a bit headstrong, but can you please protect the token of love I gave him?"

"Huh?" Alice immediately understood what the other party meant, and asked anxiously, "Where is Tessa? Aren't you staying in the safe zone?"

"The space in the safe area is limited, and it is also used to store important memories. There is no place to let me." Tessa replied with a smile, "and I... don't want to live anymore."
