The feeling of sinking into the deep sea swept through his body. After a brief period of darkness, Liao Ji opened his eyes again and had returned to the old world full of blood and trouble.
Entering Dream Zero for the second time, Liao Ji is now much more experienced than when he was confused at first. What's more, he came prepared this time, with the mark of being able to "go online".
Liao Ji was not in a hurry and immediately used the brand to summon the Saint of Light. What if there was a time limit on this thing? The safest way is to wait until the witch is in front of him and use it.
Another point is that Liao Ji did not forget the original agreement with "Control No. 1". He asked 86 to identify his location. After that, the cool sea blue motorcycle came online again. Liao Ji sped towards the coordinates where he had offline before. go.
Because they were both Dream Anchors of the Black Fire Gang, the coordinates of the two online launches were not far apart. When Liao Ji arrived, to his delight, looking from a distance, he could see a group of servitors in the area. Wandering patrol.
There is no doubt that they are the troops controlling No. 1. Liao Ji was relieved in his heart. He was really afraid that the servitors would disappear or something unexpected would happen.
It's not that Control No. 1 and the others will be of any help to the upcoming battle, but after Liao Ji knew the identities and experiences of these servitors, he didn't want to see them hurt anymore.
"Control No. 1!"
Liao Ji, who was riding a motorcycle far away, had already waved to the leading "control machine". Although he hadn't seen him for only three days, Liao Ji still missed the first machine he met.
Buzz!
As a result, the motorcycle below deliberately stuttered twice, as if in protest. Liao Ji quickly touched the front of the car a few more times and said that 86 was the first, and the motorcycle calmed down.
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters...
The happy expression on Liao Ji's face gradually changed, because he discovered something was wrong. Control No. 1 did not reply to his wave, and even turned a blind eye to him. However, as he continued to approach, when he exceeded a certain safe distance, the unit The controller turned around and looked at himself coldly.
"An unusual approach was detected... Target scanning was carried out... Scanning completed... Confirmed that the target is... an illegal dreamer..."
】
"Warning, don't come any closer."
"Warning, for your own safety, it is recommended that you perform dream detachment immediately."
"warn..."
A series of warning sounds sounded, which made Liao Ji frown and feel strange.
There is no doubt that the command servitor in front of him is no longer Control No. 1. At least he has lost Control No. 1's memory of him, so he can't recognize him now.
But on the other hand, this servitor seems to be different from the other servitors in Fantasy Zero, because judging from the previous fantasy experience, one of the biggest characteristics of the servitors is... they can't communicate and can only communicate with themselves. Use commands to communicate in the channel.
Like now, after discovering that a stranger like him is approaching, he will give a warning, and even "suggest" that he should escape from the dream immediately and not stay in Dream Zero, which is something that a servitor does not have.
and...
The most important point is that they have been lingering in this area. This is definitely not an accident. It means that there may be Control No. 1 in the subconscious of this servitor?
Thinking of this, Liao Ji made a quick decision. With this first experience, Liao Ji knew exactly how to contact the servitor.
He got off the motorcycle and asked 86 to return to his maid form. As expected, after seeing 86, a servitor similar to them, the control machine was immediately confused and began to calculate continuously to try to find out the cause.
Taking this opportunity, Liao Ji successfully approached the control machine. Just when 86 was about to do it again and "insert the USB disk" for them, Liao Ji stopped him.
"How long have you been here?"
"Unknown interlocutor, no answer..." the controller coldly refused to Liao Ji.
Liao Ji didn't mind either. On the contrary, he felt more confident. After thinking about it, he changed his question.
"Don't you want to know why you keep staying here?"
After this question, the servitor on the other side was obviously silent for a long time before speaking.
"Forty-nine hours, twenty-two minutes and nineteen seconds."
The servitor answered Liao Ji's last question, and Liao Ji nodded after a little calculation. Sure enough, as he thought, this time was about the same time as he was offline. This servitor was the former Control No. 1.
As for why it was once...
It was because of the "almost" time. I would say it was two and a half days to be precise. Something must have happened in the few hours that the servitors were missing, which led to the disappearance of "Control No. 1".
It is very likely that the area in the middle happened to encounter a disaster, which led to the total destruction of Control No. 1's troops, and the newly born body was restructured in the base. Although it was formatted and lost its own memory,... ..It still retains some data, so it becomes humane, and that’s why it stays here even though I don’t know why.
"Control No. 1, it seems that your system is malfunctioning. Have you forgotten? I am your commander. We have agreed that today is the time to set off to defeat the witch. You will be on standby here. It is my order. "
The amount of information Liao Ji said was obviously very large for the servitor. This time the other party was silent for a longer time. In the black display screen used for blindfolding, more data streams appeared, as if in Crazy calculations.
Finally, the servitor showed that it was overloaded and could not get an answer, so it took the initiative to ask Liao Ji questions for the first time.
"Control No. 1? No relevant words can be found in the system. Is this...my code?"
"It's not the code it's your name."
"name..."
"Look, you've even forgotten your own name, and you still say you're not malfunctioning."
"But Control No. 1 has just conducted a self-examination. All parts and systems are normal..." The servitor had unknowingly accepted the setting of Control No. 1, but was still a little hesitant about Liao Ji's words.
But Liao Ji was happy when he heard this.
"Control No. 1, let me ask you, what is a malfunction? It's something you can't detect by yourself. It's just like the amnesia of us humans. If you remember everything, can it still be called amnesia? "
"If you don't believe it, ask your peers next to you, Control No. 86, am I right?"
After Liao Ji finished speaking, the servitor looked at 86, and 86 nodded obediently to her theoretical sisters.
"Confirming tone. We are all the commander's home machines, ah, control machines."
86, a member of the same kind, is obviously very convincing in Guan Guan No. 1. He was convinced when he saw the same kind. Guan Guan No. 1 completely believed in the fact that he had a malfunction, and therefore accepted Liao Ji's setting as "commander".
The combination of Controller No. 1 and Commander came online again, and this time, Liao Ji did not use any cheating methods like "inserting a USB disk".
Instead, it looks more like a bad uncle deceiving an innocent little girl.
but...
This seems to further illustrate that Control No. 1 is really different. There is something different, maybe it is called human nature, maybe it is called... heart?
"Commander, I don't think we can defeat the witch with our strength. For the safety of the commander, Control No. 1 requests that you terminate the operation. Your duty is to direct our operations, and you do not need to go to the front line."
Seeing that the machine servant actually cared about him, Liao Ji smiled, then on a whim, he put his hand on Control No. 1's head, rubbed it and said:
"Do you think you called me commander in vain?"
"A mere witch, for a great commander, annihilation is easy."
"Finally, Control No. 1, I have to correct you another mistake. My duty as a commander is not to direct you to fight, but to one day enable you to... no longer have to fight."
