Star Ocean OL——Special Mission "Resonance of the Machine"

Player Mission Report

【DAY 1 12:35】

We have triggered a special mission, which requires us to investigate the location of a certain Mechanicus. According to reliable evidence, the base has fallen into corruption. What we need to do is to find out what happened to the base and then completely destroy it.

Trust me, this is another case of the cunning and the greasemongers never learning their lesson. That's why in sci-fi horror movies it's the scientists who are the ones committing suicide. And every time we have to clean up the mess, can we file a report declaring the Adeptus Mechanicus a heretic? That way we don't have to think about whether to execute a greasemonger every time we see one.

【DAY1 17:20】

We investigated the base, and the situation was... a little beyond our expectations. These oil men didn't seem to have changed much, but that's not to say. They seemed to be very fanatical believers in the God of Machines, which was not surprising. After all, the Mechanicus believed in the God of Machines, although whether the God of Machines actually existed was still a question.

But this is not important. We found that this group of oil guys have undergone unimaginable human body transformation, flesh and blood, weak and mechanical ascension, right? So can we kill them? Not yet? Must we wait to find evidence? I think it's the same to kill them first and then find them.

【DAY2 08:12】

Finally, they started to fight. I can guarantee that I was not the first to start. I just wanted to see what those oil guys looked like under their masks. But these bastards attacked me as if they had touched my butt. This is fine. I don't need to act anymore. I just need to show my health bar. Let's go together and kill these bastards!

Well, now the whole base is in lockdown, so we have to fight our way in. But what on earth are these guys? I initially thought they were just over-modified oilers, but after the fight, I carefully examined the bodies of these guys and found that they were complete robots! There was no flesh and blood on their bodies, and they were covered with machinery and gears all over their bodies!

What is this? Abomination intelligence? Could it be that the oil man here has fallen so low as to start creating abomination intelligence? Anyway, keep going and kill them and you will find out!

【DAY10 14:42】

It's really strange. We didn't see a single living person along the way. Everything here is a robot, not only the oilmen, but even the caregivers, slaves and servitors have machines inside. Could it be that these oilmen found some STC that created the abomination intelligence? This is very interesting. This mission must be very interesting.

By the way, the system prompted that there was some abnormal condition in my body, but unfortunately I couldn’t figure out what it was after checking for a long time. I posted a question, but no one had any clues either.

【DAY15 21:20】

My servant and I are starting to become less flexible and feel a little stiff. Could it be that we have been infected by the Corrupted Stain? I have already taken a potion to remove the DEBUFF, but it has no effect. What kind of abnormal state is this? The reduction in agility is really annoying, but fortunately these guys are not very strong. I think we should be able to reach their lair soon, complete the task early, and then take back the STC, maybe we can sell it for some money.

【DAY23 15:13】

What the hell is this thing?

I can't even walk now. I slept yesterday and woke up to find that my body didn't feel like my body anymore. I could hear ticking sounds in my ears, like gears and clockwork. And it felt like everything under my skin had turned into metal... How is this possible?

My followers also developed this symptom. I killed one and then looked at its corpse. Well, there was no flesh or blood, no internal organs, but only densely packed gears and clockworks everywhere!

The evil god doesn't have this kind of power! Could it be that the God of All Things really exists? It's impossible... But how can this be explained?

It's extremely unlucky. This mission is doomed to fail. But luckily I have recorded the mission details and will go back to review them... Never mind, I might as well commit suicide and quit.

[Note: Mission failed, no reward]

[Note 2: This damn production team must have done this on purpose. This is another large-scale quest branch! How could I have opened it? ]

[Note 3: I found the players there and communicated with them, and finally figured out what was going on. This is ■■■■ (spoiler suspected, data deleted). If you don't have the ability, don't fight it. The right thing to do is to run away as soon as possible and issue an extermination order! ]

[Note 4: Fortunately, I am not in that world, otherwise anyone in that universe would be doomed if they were in this state! ]

Attached information

【■■■—■■■】

[This is a virus with no treatment and a 100% infection rate. It can infect all living things and is spread through touch or contact with body fluids.]

[■■■ will change the biochemical mechanism of biological tissues, causing organic matter to recombine into some kind of organic metal. The infected person's body will gradually transform into a complex composed of gears and clockwork devices, and the original biological functions will also be taken over by these complex machines. For example, the heart is replaced by gears and small pipes, the joints become a transmission structure network, and the eyes are transformed into a primitive hand-cranked camera.]

[Under naked eye observation, the infected area appears to be made of metal materials such as brass and steel. In addition, there are also some basic materials such as leather, rubber, glass, and wood. Its composition is completely composed of biological materials and even retains the DNA of the infected person.]

[Since it may take a long time for ordinary people to discover that they have been infected with ■■■, and the disease is easily contagious, using an extermination order is the best way to deal with it.]

[PS: According to the information provided, ■■■ is a derivative of ■■■■. Currently, ordinary players have no way to fight against existence of this level.]

[Pay special attention, never let the ■■■ infected appear near ■■■■! ] "Bang!"

The man in front of him didn't even have time to resist before he was hit against the wall by Duanmu Huai's fist. His body was torn apart and blood gushed out. In addition to the blood, strange and twisted metal structures could be seen everywhere in his body. His ribs looked like steel bars and his heart looked like the spring of a music box. Sometimes, when Duanmu Huai punched him, his entire body would clang and parts would pop out.

This is no longer just about transforming humans!

"This, what on earth is this?"

When Kurokawa Akane, who was standing next to Duanmu Huai, saw this scene, her face turned extremely pale. This was even more shocking to her than simply seeing humans die. After all, these people looked like robots covered in human skin, which felt very weird and awkward.

“It’s a virus.”

"Virus?"

"Yes."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"After being infected with this virus, it will transform people from the inside out into machines. They haven't completely transformed yet... but it looks like they are almost there."

"Hey? We won't be infected too, will we?"

Hearing about the virus, Kurokawa Akane immediately looked around anxiously, while Ojis stared at her and then remained silent for a moment. Then, Ojis jumped down from Duanmu Huai's shoulder and came in front of Kurokawa Akane. She stretched out her hands and pressed Kurokawa Akane's shoulders, then she suddenly raised her head!

Immediately afterwards, Kurokawa Akane saw that the face of Ogis in front of him had turned into the face of a puppet!

"Wow! Miss Ogis is infected!"

"Stop playing!"

Looking at Kurokawa Akane who was screaming, Duanmu Huai grabbed Ojis and lifted her up.

"Ogis is a puppet. She is just trying to scare you."

"Uh... Hey? Is Miss Ogis a puppet?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Kurokawa Akane was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Ogis again, who had returned to her usual appearance. But Kurokawa Akane remembered clearly that when she saw Ogis just now, her face was covered with lines like a doll's...

"…………"

Noticing Kurokawa Akane's gaze, Ogis made a V sign to her expressionlessly, then turned around and ignored her.

Well, I was just teasing myself.

Kurokawa Akane breathed a sigh of relief, put aside his doubts about why the other party was teasing him, and asked uneasily.

"So, will we be infected?"

"Don't worry about that. As long as you stay by my side or wear the badge of the Inquisition, it won't affect us."

The God of Destruction is also one of the most powerful priests, and this power is not only used in offense, but also in defense. As long as there is the protection of the power of the God of Destruction, other powers will be immediately disintegrated once they come into contact. This strange infection virus is obviously also a product driven by divine power, so for Duanmu Huai, even if he is naked and shaking an elephant here, he will not be infected with this virus.

At this moment, Rost in front also stopped.

"Oh, right there... Damn, what is that?"

Rost stopped and stared ahead in amazement. No wonder he was so surprised. He saw that not far ahead, in the center of a place that looked like a town square, there was a tall tower standing!

A tall tower made up of gears, clockwork, and machinery!

Its shape was very ugly, and it looked like it was just a pile of junk. However, its body was extremely huge, and it looked more like a large metal garbage dump than a tall tower. Not only that, the garbage dump was trembling slightly, and judging from the madly rotating gears on it, it seemed to be a moving machine! ?

And around this machine, you can see thousands of people surrounding it, kneeling on the ground, muttering to themselves as if they are praying for something!

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"

Rost couldn't believe his eyes.

"What happened? How did it become like this?"

Duanmu Huai did not answer, nor did he need to answer.

Because soon, Rost witnessed with his own eyes a scene that was enough to give him nightmares for the rest of his life!

In the future, you can use Roujiamo and soy milk instead of hamburgers and cola.
