Chapter 57
"This..." Haijia hesitated, "Who is this?"
How could someone's voice come from Thanatos? Is someone remotely controlling Thanatos?
Also, why did TA call Luther an "old friend"?
The most important thing is that Hai Jia and the other three exchanged a look of surprise - after the initial shock, and then listened carefully, I found that it was like the voice of General Adolf!
Haijia's eyes flashed, and he said, "Luther..."
"Bang!"
Ludwig suddenly pulled the trigger and shot at Thanatos's sounder!
The voice was still saying something, but it immediately seemed like a record that was suddenly cut off.
"Luther?" Turin frowned in disapproval, "what are you doing?" "It's not a meaningful conversation," Ludwig whispered
, "don't listen."
Hanging down on his side, Mao Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he found that his hands were shaking slightly.
He pondered for a moment and blinked: "You know this person?"
Ludwig's expression froze.
Mao Zhi took a panoramic view of his reaction and said slowly: "Who is he? Is Thanatos controlled by him?" After a while, "...the virus in the arena is related to him?
" , everyone immediately looked at him in surprise: "Mao Zhi?!"
Mao Zhi ignored everyone's different expressions and stared at Ludwig: "Why didn't you answer my question?"
Everyone in the arena disappeared mysteriously, and then this Thanatos appeared inexplicably - it's hard not to associate these things together.
The other three also looked at Ludwig. Norman hesitated and asked, "Luther, do you know anything?"
But they waited for more than ten seconds, only to hear Ludwig's denial: "I don't know."
Mao Zhi frowned: "How is it possible? You..."
He stopped abruptly.
Ludwig turned his head, the dim light from the stairwell projected in his eyes, entwined, like the mist rising from the sea in the middle of the night.
And through that layer of fog, it seemed that something deeper was buried inside.
"Maozhi," he whispered, "don't ask."
Maozhi was taken aback.
When he regained his senses, Ludwig had already bypassed him and walked towards the ground floor.
Heiga whispered: "I think... He doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
Turin said, "It may be because of Thanatos."
After all, this is a battle robot designed by Luther and destroyed by his own hands. It must not taste good.
Also a mechanic, Turin understands how he feels.
"You don't mess with him." She threw a warning look at Helga and quickly followed Ludwig with Norman.
Haijia was aggrieved: "Who messed with him?!"
He was about to catch up, but when he turned around, Mao Zhi was still standing there.
"?" Hai Jia asked, "What are you stunned for?"
Mao Zhi frowned and said in a low voice, "I don't understand."
Hai Jia couldn't help but stop: "What?"
Mao Zhi pointed to the ground Thanatos said: "This robot is trying to attack us, right?"
Haijia nodded, and Mao Zhi continued: "If this is the case, why should its intelligence system be dismantled?"
Without the intelligence system, Thanatos's combat power will be greatly reduced, and they can't be beaten at all.
Hai Jia was stunned: "This..."
Just now, everyone was shocked by the voice that came out of Thanatos' body, but they didn't think of this question for a while.
Mao Zhi said, "Don't you feel contradictory?"
Hearing this, Hai Jia also fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said slowly: "I don't know...but I know some old-fashioned nobles who are very disgusted with new robots, that is," he gestured, "high-intelligence robots, those nobles think that this will make robots infinite. Approaching human beings."
He hesitated and used an adjective in a low voice: "They think... it's disgusting."
Mao Zhi widened his eyes in incomprehension: "Disgusting?"
"Or scary, that's almost what it means. ," Seeing the other three walking farther and farther, Hai Jia hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go!"
Mao Zhi frowned, but at Hai Jia's urging, he had to quickly follow.
What they didn't notice was that when the crowd left, Thanatos, who was lying on the ground like a pile of dead wood, suddenly turned his head, with a light red light in his eyes, looking at the back of the crowd, the corners of his mouth raised, Slowly hook into an arc.
"Luther," it said leisurely in a sharp voice with a different tone, "Come on..."
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
***A
few minutes later, the three of Ludwig rushed to the underground parking lot.
"There!" Hai Jia looked around and found a few people in the corner.
They obviously saw everyone and waved their hands: "Come here!" The
four ran over and found that the rest of the people were there, while Gaius folded his arms and stood at the front: "You are too slow.
" We found an exit," Gigi said, "look."
She pointed over the heads of the crowd, who could barely see through the dim light a small vent in the wall near the ceiling.
Haijia sucked in a breath of cold air: "Climb out from here?"
"No way," Shewu shook his head, "The third-level lock is too strong, and there is an iris fingerprint code or something after going out, so there is no way to force a breakthrough."
Turin frowned and looked at the air vent: "Can I really go out from here?"
Gigi said hurriedly, "Yes, An Yue's parrot has already passed by."
An Yue is the girl with glasses, and Turin has just cleared it After Ah Ye's virus, he also cleaned up all the mechanical beasts of the Second Military Academy.
An Yue nodded and said, "There are more than 100 meters of pipes from the vent to the exit. After going out, it is the back door of the league arena, so there should be no problem."
Norman was more concerned: "After your parrot flew out, I saw Anyone?"
An Yue shook her head, her expression a little confused: "I didn't see a single one."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look surprised.
"How could this happen?" Gigi was puzzled. "Isn't there even a guard?"
Norman said, "Maybe because it was late at night, there were no people on the street." After all, it was past eleven o'clock.
This is the only explanation. Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Ludwig, who had been silent, suddenly looked at An Yue: "When your parrot went out, was there any other abnormality?"
"Abnormal?" An Yue was confused, "You mean..."
"Wait," Snake Wu Suddenly, "What's the sound?"
He looked alert, everyone subconsciously fell silent, and the entire parking lot was silent.
After a while, everyone heard a slight electronic sound: "Di! Di! Di!" The
sound was sharp, and it was faster and faster, almost like an alarm before the explosion.
Everyone: "?!"
Hai Jia immediately said: "Where did the voice come from?!"
But they looked around and couldn't find the source of the sound for a while.
"Grass!" Gaius scolded nervously, "Where did it come from?!"
Suddenly, Ludwig seemed to realize something and walked quickly to An Yue: "Where is your parrot?"
An Yue was stunned for a moment, but immediately said: "I'll let it fly on the ceiling to send a sentry... I'll tell it to come down!"
She called out, and the sound of flapping wings sounded above everyone's heads, and then a silver parrot suddenly flew out of the air. He jumped down and stopped on An Yue's shoulder.
Ludwig said concisely: "Check it."
An Yue quickly touched it, and after a while, an exclamation sounded: "What is this?!"
She took off a thumb-sized silver device from the parrot's wing. .
The silver device was constantly flashing red, and a shrill sound came from beneath the smooth surface.
Gaius frowned and said, "An Yue, where did this come from?"
An Yue hurriedly shook her head: "I... I don't know!"
Hai Jia was so disturbed by the noise that he had a headache: "Anyway, can you first Make it stop?"
Ke Anyue fiddled around, her voice not only did not stop, but became sharper.
"Why is it screaming so loudly?" Gigi said, "I doubt that it can be heard in the whole building now!" Hearing
this, Ludwig's expression changed.
"Give it to me."
He suddenly stepped forward, took the device from Anyue, threw it on the ground, and raised the sniper rifle.
"Bang!"
He shot abruptly, and everyone was startled. The device was shot accurately from the middle and shattered into two pieces.
The loud screaming stopped.
"Well... well done," said Helga weakly, "just a little violent."
Ludwig glanced at him.
"It's transmitting information about our location," he said, "so it has to be destroyed immediately."
"Wait, what do you mean?" Gaius raised his eyebrows suspiciously. "Transmitting information? Who is the source? ?"
Ludwig paused, and was about to speak when Turin suddenly said, "Luther, three o'clock!"
Ludwig turned his head suddenly, and pointed his sniper rifle to the right without hesitation. With a roar, he rushed out.
"Bang!" The
gunshot sounded, and under the shadow of the corner on the right side of the crowd, something shook violently, and then a huge black-gold robot appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Ah Ye pounced on it and wrestled with it.
"Tanatos?!" Gaius sighed slightly, "This is not Ludwig's..."
He turned his head and glanced at Ludwig in astonishment.
Ludwig ignored Gaius, and said solemnly, "Aye, back up."
Aye ducked sideways in a very humane way, Ludwig pulled the trigger, and the bullet swept a silver trail in the air, hitting the center Thanatos's CPU.
The black and gold giant shook and fell to the ground.
Ludwig took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and cut off Thanatos's power supply neatly.
When he lowered his head, his sight touched a spot, he paused, and silently took something from Thanatos.
"How is it?" Hai Jia came over.
"It won't attack again." Ludwig stood up.
Gaius said, "Wait! What the hell is going on here? Isn't Thanatos an alliance-only model? How could it attack us?"
Turin raised a finger to signal him to shut up.
"I think," she sternly glared at Haiga who wanted to interrupt, "they might also have been infected with the virus?"
Everyone was shocked: "What did you say?"
Turin said: "I just analyzed the invasion of our mechanical beasts. Its main function is to destroy the command system of mechanical beasts, interfere with their sensitivity to human commands, and replace them with attack commands." She paused, "that is to say, they will attack and touch indiscriminately. Any human that arrives, including the master."
Turin said slowly: "Don't you think this is a bit similar to Thanatos's symptoms?"
Everyone heard the words and became thoughtful.
Indeed, Thanatos also attacked humans as soon as they saw them.
Norman frowned slightly: "Could it be that... the person who instructed Thanatos to attack is the same person who spread the virus in the arena?"
"And he must be serving in the alliance," Hyga interrupted, "only if he has a certain military rank Only the only people who have the authority to command Thanatos can ordinary staff have no access to them."
His father held an important position in the Union Army, so it was very convincing, and everyone nodded.
Haiga looked at Ludwig: "Luther, do you think I'm right...?!"
Ludwig suddenly threw something at them.
"Bang!"
A huge transparent cube suddenly appeared in the air, headed under the cover of everyone, framing everyone inside.
"?!" Haiga exclaimed, "Luther?!"
Norman touched the surface of the cube, and when he poked it lightly, the surface was concave like jelly, soft, but extremely elastic: "This is... ...Superfiber separator?"
"What the heck is superfiber!" Gaius slapped the cube hard, and said irritably, "Ludwig, what are you doing?! Let us out!"
Ludwig adjusted the sniper rifle, the gun shrank rapidly in his hand, and quickly turned into a cuboid the size of a palm.
He put the compressed gun block in his arms and whispered to them: "The fiber cage has a timer, and you will be released in ten minutes."
Turin stared at him: "Why do you do this?"
Ludwig Xi's body froze.
"Sorry," he said in a low voice, "I have something to do first."
Hai Jia said without thinking: "What are you going to do? I'll be with you."
Everyone: "..."
Ludwig raised his head, the corner of his mouth. He sipped slightly, revealing a smile that couldn't be more shallow.
"I'm sorry, Hai Jia," he said softly, "No."
Hai Jia widened his eyes in astonishment.
"Idiot," Turin whispered beside him, "that's why he locked us up with a cage."
Haiga came to her senses: "But! Luther...!"
Ludwig had turned around, facing the Go to the vent.
Gaius gasped: "What's wrong with him?!" He actually locked them all up!
Snake pondered for a moment and asked, "It's strange...why didn't Luther let us follow?"
"Actually," Norman hesitated, "Ludwig has been acting abnormally since he came out of the arena."
Gigi agreed: "I feel like he has a lot of thoughts."
Turin was irritable: "I'm not a boy in the puberty period, what's there to worry about, and no matter what, we can't be locked up!"
Everyone: "..."
"Anyway," Noel Man made a final decision, "Find a way to get out first."
***
At the same time, on the other side of the league arena.
[The central processing unit returns to normal. 】
Accompanied by the soft electronic sound, Yao Guang slowly opened his eyes.
"Yaoguang! That's great!" Shaotu's excited voice sounded in her ear, "You're finally awake!"
Yaoguang rolled his eyes and found himself lying on a workbench, but when he moved a little, his body thumped. As the dust fell, she froze for a moment, raised her head, and saw that half of the ceiling had been blown away.
Yaoguang: "..."
"Sorry, sorry," Shaotu hurriedly patted off the dust for her, while saying, "We were attacked just now."
Yaoguang blinked: "Attack?"
Shaotu briefly explained what happened just now. again.
Yaoguang just woke up, the central processing unit was not fully running, she nodded dully and said, "What about Ludwig?"
"He went to the underground parking lot," Shaotu took out a small Small metal paper crane, "I received a text just now, they said that we can go out from the underground parking lot, let's hurry over."
Yaoguang nodded: "Okay."
She jumped off the workbench, simply cleaned up, and looked up. , Shaotu is still standing in place.
Yaoguang was surprised: "Aren't you going?"
"Uh..." Shaotu hesitated and said, "Actually...I have something I want to discuss with you."
Yaoguang: "?"
Shaotu touched his nose, sorry Said: " You haven't woken up just now. I thought the explosion affected you... so I checked your system without authorization."
Yaoguang didn't respond to this, and said, "But I'm fine." She woke up, her body Also normal.
Shaotu pursed his lips.
- But here is my problem.
"You..." He sighed, "Forget it, come and see this."
He motioned Yaoguang to come over, turned the scanner's screen around, pointed at it and said, "Look." The
screen was full of dense codes, and Shaotu's fingers swept over a string of complicated letters, and landed at the end: "Yes. Here."
Yaoguang recognized it and said slowly, "Polaris protection code?"
She was surprised: "What is this?"
Sure enough, Shaotu's pupils trembled slightly, as he expected, Yaoguang didn't know this code.
He said briefly: "This is an encrypted code found in your central processing unit. I don't know what's protected in it, but according to the program settings, you can't identify this code yourself, and you can't read it. It."
In other words, even though this code resides in Yaoguang's body, she is completely unaware of its existence.
Shaotu moved the mouse and clicked on the code lightly.
He turned his head and said to Yaoguang, "I can unlock this code, but...you have to follow your ideas."
Yaoguang paused and asked, "Could this be a loophole left by a virus?"
"I I also thought about this possibility," Shaotu said, "but I checked the time when the code was generated, and it was about a year ago."
This is contrary to the time when the virus invaded Yaoguang.
Shaotu asked curiously, "Where were you a year ago? Was it Obsidian?"
This code was not brought by Yaoguang, that is to say - it was artificially implanted into Yaoguang's body.
Moreover, this person's technique is extremely delicate. If Yaoguang's body is not corroded, and many protection programs have loopholes, Shaotu may not be able to find this code at all.
Shaotu thought to himself, but with the conditions of Obsidian, there should be no one who is so proficient in machinery.
Yao Guang listened to his words, but fell silent.
A year ago...she thought in a daze, it was almost the time she came to this plane.
So... a coincidence?
She pursed her lower lip and said, "Help me unlock this code."
Shaotu was stunned: "Are you sure?"
"Well," Yaoguang lay back on the workbench, "How long will it take?"
"About ten minutes . ." Shaotu said with certainty.
In fact, at his level, it was impossible to unravel the code, but fortunately, there is a virus cleaning code that Ludwig taught before, and Shaotu found that with a little modification, it could be used as a cracking code.
However, it was the first time he had done such a thing, so it was inevitable that he was a little nervous.
Shaotu said: "If you feel something is wrong in the middle, tell me immediately."
Yaoguang lay on the workbench and replied lightly: "Okay."
Shaotu took a deep breath and began to crack the code.
Yao Guang closed his eyes and let his world plunge into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, an electronic sound suddenly sounded in her head:
[Polaris protection code released. 】
【Encrypted file detected, read? 】
When he heard the encrypted file, Yao Guang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Read."
She straightened up from the workbench and moved to the scanner screen.
Shaotu nervously
said, "How is it?" Yao Guang pointed at the screen silently without saying a word.
A white display box popped up on the screen with a document in it.
"Encrypted files?" Shaotu was surprised.
Yaoguang took the mouse from him and quickly opened the file.
There are a few lines of short words in the document, and Shaotu only glanced at it, and then looked confused: "This...isn't the alliance text?"
"Well," Yaoguang said briefly, "it's the text of my plane."
Hearing this, Shaotu's eyes couldn't help but be surprised.
Although he was mentally prepared, when Yaoguang really mentioned his identity, he couldn't help being surprised.
He cautiously said, "Then...are you from another world?"
"Yes," Yao Guang replied while his eyes stopped on the screen, "A year ago, I came to this plane due to a black hole accident. , and then stayed here."
Shaotu looked like he was hesitating to speak, but finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Then why didn't you go back? Is the spaceship broken?"
Who knows that Yaoguang Without thinking: "No, I was ordered to stay here."
"Whose order?" Shaotu asked.
Yaoguang's eyes were stunned, and after a few seconds, he said, "I... don't know."
Hearing this, Shaotu frowned.
Here again, he used to feel that Yaoguang's memory was faulty, but he didn't expect it to be the same now.
He thought for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Is that the 'sir'?"
"Sir..." Yao Guang murmured, "Yes, it's him..." She suddenly paused and denied what she just said, " No, there is no officer."
Shaotu opened his mouth wide and looked at Yaoguang in surprise.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the screen.
The scanner is also connected to Yaoguang's central processing unit. At this time, there is a small box at the bottom of the screen, showing that the Polaris protection code is running.
Shao Rabbit frowned.
"Yaoguang..."
He just spoke, but Yaoguang said first: "Let's look at this document first."
She quickly finished reading the text in the document, blinked, and fell silent.
Shaotu couldn't understand the text of the other world, so she could only urge her: "Have you read it? What does it say?"
"It's a news report," Yaoguang paused and said, "In 1039 of the solar calendar, with the vicious killing incident of the EI type combat robot as the fuse, a protest march against the combat robot broke out in the central star, and two A month later, Supreme Marshal Schiller introduced an anti-robot peace law."
She frowned: "No, this news is fake."
Shaotu was surprised: "Fake? What do you mean?"
"I haven't heard of it. "Central Star's protest march," Yaoguang affirmed, "the central government has not issued any anti-robot laws."
Before she encountered the black hole accident, she had just retired from the front line and was awarded a first-class medal.
Yaoguang said: "It is said that combat robots have high autonomy and intelligence, and this ultra-intelligent robot has already posed a threat to human beings. In order to ensure the safety of human beings, the central government must ban all combat robots or scrap them. , or dismantle their intellectual system."
She shook her head: "This is simply nonsense, intelligent robots have become a common labor force in our society, and human beings are highly dependent on them. How could an anti-robot law be introduced?"
Wen Yan said , Shaotu fell silent.
"Yaoguang," he seemed to be considering his words, and said slowly, "uh... have you thought about a possibility?"
Yaoguang asked, "what?"
Shaotu took a deep breath, raised his head, The look of determination.
"You... don't you think," he said slowly, "it's possible—your memory is fake?"
The author has something to say:

"What kind of bad intentions can a boss have? "
Five years ago, a natural disaster grade monster attacked humans, directly destroying an asteroid, and then disappeared.
Five years later, human life has returned to peace, yet still lives under its fear.
One day, the poor girl Taodao was on the verge of starvation and ate a piece of rotten meat.
Then, she has fluffy paws and tail.
Taodao: "?!"
Recently, the captain of the special unit of the Annihilation Army was both happy and sad.
The happy thing is that their team has a newcomer with extraordinary ability and superior physical skills, which can be called a humanoid weapon.
The worry is...the newcomer's life style is very problematic.
For example, she likes to bury leftover bones in the ground.
For example, she likes to crouch on the roof in the middle of the night and howl.
For example, in the breeding season, she will attract a large group of beasts who are crazy for courtship.
The captain collapsed: "Why are you fat?!"
Taodao hesitated: "I can't help it." The
captain screamed: "What happened to the monsters in the breeding season?!"
Taodao gently: "They... endure Can't you stay?"
[Small Theater]
One day, the team members saw Taodao digging a hole.
Player (hesitating): What are you doing?
Taodao (seriously): Good things must be hidden.
The team members looked behind Taodao, there were big drumsticks, a ball, a Frisbee, and... the commander-in-chief of the Annihilation Army went westward.
