Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

Which ship girl has paid as much as her Observer Zero?

In this regard, Xia Bai could only put on a small face and emphasized awkwardly: "Fair and just, fair and just, Ling, you should understand my good intentions. Without rules, there will be no order."

"Even if I force you to stay on the secretary ship, Akagi and the others won't accept it."

Rolling his eyes at Xia Bai, Observer Zero said, "Alright, I don't know what kind of personality my 'key' has. These words may fool those idiots, but forget about fooling me..."

"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first. I'll talk to you about the secretary ship in a few days."

Just when Ling was about to hang up the call, he heard Xia Bai's reluctant voice again.

"Zero has not been bullied by the Judge during his time in the [Host], right? Do you need me to come to the [Host]?"

"..."

Pursing his lips, Ling adjusted his mood and said coldly: "No need, I can handle things here by myself. When the time is right, I will naturally notify you."

Xia Bai said puzzledly: "Why can't Zero stay in the port area like the Purifier? I can ask the Top Seat Mecha God to repair the module for you. Now I can protect you in the hands of the Judge... I, I miss you very much."

The little face softened a lot. Observer Zero touched the projected light screen and said, "I miss you too, but not now. I will come to the port after I finish the task of the [Host]."

"From now on, we will never separate..."

After saying that, Observer Zero hung up the communication mercilessly, returned to his usual cold expression, and looked up at the Judge.

"Have you heard enough? If you have, then start judging me."

As if he couldn't bear it, the judge said in a deep voice: "If you cut off your relationship with him and erase your memories of him, I can withdraw the ruling as the head of the arbitration agency."

However, Observer Zero shook his head, rejected the Judge's kindness, and said calmly: "The [Host] can only simulate the Creator's thoughts and send instructions. It is just an incomplete artificial intelligence."

"Now that I have found the 'key' that Antix has been searching for, and gained emotions, why would you want me to give it up?"

Adjusting the eye frame on the bridge of his nose, the creator from the Prototype Design Institute gave his answer.

"The data has proven that he and Bai Ye are of the same substance and have different faces, and possess a power far beyond Bai Ye. Zero, you can't guarantee that he won't be the next Bai Ye. He is very dangerous..."

"Dangerous? Haha, is this what you think of him? How ridiculous."

Laughing loudly, Observer Zero continued, "The real danger is not him, but the [Host]. The Creator has been gone for so long, and you have not sought corresponding changes. Instead, you are still acting according to the instructions of that broken system."

"You have no will of your own and are tamed by an incomplete artificial intelligence. I feel sick of you now. I'm afraid the meaning of our existence has long been forgotten."

"You're still stubborn!" With a cold snort, the Judge forcibly shut down Zero's mental computer.

Suddenly, Observer Zero, who was tied to the judgment seat, became motionless.

"You have been bewitched by that man, and you are still confusing right and wrong. As the head of the arbitration body, I now make the following ruling on Observer Zero in accordance with the Supreme Law of Antix and the order of the [Host]."

"Deprive Observer Zero of all rights in the central node, reset his memory, and destroy his emotion perception module. Execute immediately."

The judgment seat emitted a dazzling light, and the rainbow-colored glow continued to pour into the body of Observer Zero, retracing her personality and modules.

"From now on, Observer Zero is no longer the head of the central node... This is the price of touching the taboo."

Chapter 73 Don’t regret what you said

It can send you into the clouds, or it can throw you into the mud.

What Xia Bai thought of Antix was mostly just the tip of the iceberg glimpsed from Observer Zero and Purifier. In fact, Antix was not as good as he imagined.

Ruthlessness is the norm here.

The majority of people are like Creators and Judges, who only follow the instructions of the Host. Just as Zero said, long-term obedience has made them forget how to think.

Zero never imagined that the judgment of the [Host] on him would be so severe, nor did he ever think that his end would come so soon.

Reshaping represents the death of personality. At that time, except for appearance, the new Antikes will no longer have any connection with Observer Zero.

No memory, no emotion, no 'key'...

However, Zero calmly accepted the trial. No matter how much she looked down on the [Host] now, the other party's orders were absolute. Zero, whose module had already been destroyed by Bai Ye, had no means of counterattack.

It's ridiculous that as the leader of a central node that is cruel and indifferent to life, the scene she saw at the end of darkness was actually the port area she had never been to.

There, Xia Bai would open his arms, hug himself with a smile.

Is the feeling towards Xia Bai so important? Is it worth giving up what I have been insisting on for so long? Is this my sin, or the punishment for betrayal?

Observer Zero was not very clear about this, but her heart was beating hard and she was shouting loudly just before her mental circuit burned out.

Until there is complete silence.

......

"We are born from the authority of the Creator, and we will eventually return to the Creator's embrace...dust to dust, ashes to ashes, it's over, zero..."

Looking at Zero lying on the ground with his eyes dull, the judge shook his head with regret and left the court.

"You were immersed in a happy dream until the very end? Haha, then I'll name your new identity Dream Weaver. I'll personally design the module for you."

Walking up to the judgment seat, the Creator tapped a few times in the air, and several metal tentacles emerged from the darkness and tied up the empty shell.

"Send it to the Prototype Design Institute."

At this moment, the space seemed to shatter as if through glass. In an instant, all the tentacles were cut off, and the girl with long silver hair caught the empty shell.

"Van Isena, what do you want to do!?"

The Destroyer Van Isena looked at Zero in her arms, breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her eyes and said coldly: "It's obvious that I can't hand over Zero's body to you."

"Do you also want to be punished by the [Host] like her?!"

With a sneer, a huge ship appeared behind Van Isena, and countless Antiks poured out from the broken space.

"My module was not destroyed by White Night like Zero was. Even if the [Host] wants to judge me, do you have the ability to do so? Or is the Judge willing to summon her arbitrators and the Annihilation Rings to fight?"

Feeling the instability of the space, the judge who had just left returned to the courtroom, looked at Van Isena and said indifferently: "If you wish."

The orders of the [Host] are absolute. As the strongest Antikes, the Judge is not afraid of any opponent. Having just judged Observer Zero, she does not mind judging the Destroyer Vanissena next.

"As expected of our Judge of Antix, you are completely ruthless to your former colleagues."

After saying something sarcastic to the Judge, Van Isena put away her ship suit and said angrily, "I just don't understand. Is what Observer Zero did really a betrayal of Antix?"

"She terminated the experiment without permission."

“That’s because the results are out!”

"Zero intentionally concealed the results of the experiment."

"The result you are talking about is her lover. Judge, will you share the person you love with me?"

After a moment of silence, the judge, who did not know what "like" meant, continued, "You mobilized the Supreme and Arbitration Authority without the permission of the [Host].

Van Isena shouted indignantly: "Yes, then we captured the sky orbit, killed Qian Gong, and severely damaged the alien god Bai Ye. Don't forget, the reason why you can judge Zero is because her module was destroyed by Bai Ye in that battle, and you..."

After listening to the hasty words, Van Isena pointed at the Judge and the Creator and said word by word: "They will only obey the orders of that damn [Host], kill Zero who has achieved a brilliant victory, and then continue to be its dog with peace of mind."

"I conquered Skyrim Orbit, and White Night was the only one that suffered heavy damage. May I ask what you did at that time? Waiting for Enterprise META at L11?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Enterprise META didn't even show up at L11. After she found out I was in the sky orbit, she came to the polar front."

"If Zero hadn't brought the Arbiters back to defend in time, Enterprise META would have been sitting in the inner defense circle watching you make a fool of yourself."

In Van Isena's opinion, Zero did not make any mistakes at all and should not be judged. The ones who were wrong were the creator, the judge, and the [host].

She now understood why the Supreme rebelled during the War of Disaster, why Justice died inexplicably in the battle, and why the dignified Judge had spent hundreds of years hunting down Qian Gong to no avail.

It's not that there's something wrong with their abilities, nor that Bai Ye is too bewitching, but that there's something wrong with the [host]. A system that has no emotions and can only analyze will only lead Antiks to destruction.

And Zero's death was the beginning of all this.

Pursing his lips, the Judge slowed down his tone and said, "Zero is not dead. We just reset her emotional memory and retraced her personality."

"Tell me, what's the difference between this and death? Without all these, is the new Zero still Zero?!"

Frowning, the Judge said in a low voice, "Enough! Van Isena, you are challenging the command of the [Host]. The Annihilation Ring can still operate without you. There are many Antixes who can accept the leader authority given by the [Host].

After re-unfolding the ship's equipment, Van Isena said sharply, "Come on, I want to see what's so great about you and your arbitration agency."

"Don't even mention you, the Judge. Even if the Creator is here, I will destroy the [Host] and take Zero away."

"Annihilation Ring, take them down for me!"

The order was given, and countless Antikes' eyes emitted scarlet light, rushing madly towards the Judge and the Creator.

At the same time, Van Isena was not idle either. She took out a pendant from Zero's chest and madly poured her mental power into it.

The strongest Antix Judge, right? The chief creator of the Prototype Design Institute, right? Indeed, I, Van Isena, am no match for you.

But I, Van Isena, am not the only one who can stand up for Zero. Wait, I'm going to call Zero's partner over right now to see who has the harder fist.

Chapter 74 The Legend of the Fastest Sinking

earlier.

After Ling hung up the call, Xia Bai felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart, as if something that would affect him was about to happen.

I had this feeling at that time when problems arose in Shinano itself.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong.

Does this have anything to do with Zero sauce?

Recalling the conversation with Ling just now, Xia Bai shook his head again and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Just now, Xia Bai didn't notice anything wrong with the other party. He still had the familiar "three-no" expression and the familiar tone of voice.

Maybe I was just worrying too much. Compared to this inexplicable feeling, the fact that Befa and the others took so long to get the bottle of wine was something I should have paid attention to.

Why haven't they come out yet? It's been half an hour...

Just when Xia Bai was puzzled by this, Belfast and Shinano came out of the bedroom one after another, wrapped only in a bath towel, with water droplets dripping from their hair, and their crystal clear skin was slightly flushed.

"clang clang~Master, look what is Befa holding in his hand?" Sitting on both sides of Xia Bai with Shinano, Befa shook the wine bottle in his hand.

"Lafite from 1982?"

Looking at the scrawled words on the wine bottle label, Xia Bai blurted out.

Xia Bai doesn't know much about wine, but the one that impressed him most was the 1982 Lafite that often appeared in TV dramas, so when he saw wine, he would think of it...

Placing the bottle on the coffee table, Befa covered his mouth and chuckled, "The new grapes from the 1982 Lafite winery are long gone. Where can you find the 1982 Lafite on the market now? Is this all the master knows?"

Scratching his face, Xia Bai said embarrassedly: "If you know, don't say it out loud, save some face for the master..."

"It's not this bottle of wine that I'm interested in, but your kindness, Befa. I can feel your friendship from this bottle of red wine that I've treasured for many years."

Ignoring the previous embarrassment, Xia Bai said in a corny way.

"By the way, how many years have you kept this bottle of red wine, Beifa?"

"Four..." Subconsciously, Befa was about to answer Xia Bai's question, but then he closed his mouth and raised a finger at him.

"Age is a woman's biggest secret."

Xia Bai: “…”

Although Befa did not fall into the trap, Xia Bai still got a rather vague answer from it. In any case, it was impossible for it to be just four years.

Even if this bottle of red wine was treasured by Befa since he was born, the other party must be much older than himself now.

The water in Azur Lane was deeper than he had imagined.

Now, the only destroyer smaller than the Royal Navy is the Perseus. Those destroyers that look childish and want to play all day are actually "old monsters"...

The mind cannot be eroded by time, and the years cannot erase beauty. KanColle are truly blessed creatures, and are worthy of being the symbol of purity and beauty.

Although some of the ship girls have grown crooked.

Just when Xia Bai was deliberately continuing to ignore the topic of age, the big gray fox on his left hand side sighed, and Belfast's calm expression changed in an instant.

"It has been forty-three years. It has been more than thirty years since I was captured by Antix. The experiences during this period seem like a dream."

After saying that, Shinano shook the fox ears on her head and asked, "Well... why are you all looking at me like that?"

Xia Bai's face turned pale, and he said timidly, "Excuse me, how old are you, Shinano?"

"It seems to have exceeded 100?" Shinano answered uncertainly, pointing her slender finger at the corner of her lips.

"But I spend most of my time in dreams, and I don't have a clear concept of the passage of time."

Why does a 100-year-old woman act like a virgin?

Shinano's answer solved Xia Bai's long-standing doubts.

But from a practical point of view, this is not an 'earth-shattering' answer. He is a pure LS.P who does not mind race or age. As long as there is love, nothing is a problem.
