The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

But White shook his head: "No, that's not the case."

With a wave of the baton in his hand, the image on the big screen turned into a global map.

"Just an hour before you encountered the giant, there was an extremely strong energy reading near the Sydney site in Australia, and at that time, the bunker captured an object moving at high speed towards outer space."

"After releasing some kind of mud-like substance into space, it wrapped itself up and remained silent for 43 minutes. After it turned into a gigantic shape, it flew towards the place where you were before without stopping for a moment."

In other words, the other party is very purposeful.

The red dotted line with an arrow on the big screen completely marked Lin Qiao's movement trajectory - the changes in the movement trajectory were even accurate to milliseconds.

"But after landing, the other party rescued Miss 2B who was about to fall into the sea, and defeated three "Engels", and then suddenly disappeared..."

"What is the purpose?"

9S pinched his chin as he looked at the red dotted line on the big screen that represented the trajectory of the movement.

As a curious S-type scanner, he couldn't help but want to go back and explore.

"But if they ascended from Earth into outer space and landed on 2B and me, then they are not new aliens, but mechanical life forms, right? Like a super-large weapon?"

"No, I'm afraid it's hard to say..." White bit his lower lip and muttered to himself.

"Eh? Commander, do you know anything?"

"Unfortunately, what I told you before is all the information we have."

He shook his head at 9S who looked curious.

However, although this is true, she, who knows more than others, has indeed concealed some of the information.

"In short, issue an order to the entire army. In future operations, you must pay attention to the actions of this 'giant' and report it immediately once you find it!"

Considering the opponent's incredibly fast speed, the ability to teleport at will, and the power to easily kill three "Engels" in seconds, a single android would definitely not be able to deal with it.

Of course, some of the reasons cannot be made public...but since it has been said that it cannot be made public, then of course I cannot tell anyone else about it.

"So....."

White raised his left hand and placed it on his chest: "May the glory of mankind last forever!"

"May the glory of mankind last forever!"

The androids' firm vows echoed in the command room...even though most of them didn't know that humans had perished long ago.

Or as they said, this is the only glory left for mankind...

"By the way, 2B, come over to my place later. I have something I want to tell you about the last mission."

Chapter 668: Humans still exist in the world?

Not long after the meeting ended, he walked into a separate room and communicated with the senior android leaders affiliated with the Human Conference about the situation of this mission.

As the commander, White returned to his room with a frown on his face.

Or rather, the series of unexpected events today had not caused her to have any other expression on her face.

2B hasn't come yet...

It’s not that the other person is late or has missed the show. It’s just that I want to give myself time to clean up the room, so I let the other person come a little later.

Although as a commander, White's appearance and style give people a cold and serious feeling, but in private, she will throw her clothes everywhere. This kind of carefree female man type...

In general, it is still necessary to maintain the dignity of a leader in front of his subordinates.

After cleaning up the room after a long absence, I turned around and looked at the items on the table...

The most eye-catching one is the mummy placed in the middle. It is highly decomposed, but because the moisture in it has been dried out, a layer of shriveled skin and flesh remains on the surface.

That's a human corpse.

——In fact, this is what 2B brought back from the factory this time.

Of course, right now this is just an image created by holographic projection.

If it is genuine, it has been sent for inspection as soon as it was sent back...

But the results were astonishing.

Amazing.

The deceased was a female, of human race, approximately 13 to 15 years old. Thanks to this, 2B was able to stuff her into the large suitcase.

The most critical factor is the time of death.

——About half a year ago.

Half a year ago!

If it were any other android, they would at most feel sadness or anger towards the machine life forms, but for White and the android leaders of the Human Council, it was a complete shock.

After all, they have long known that mankind has become extinct.

But now you tell me that there were still people alive until half a year ago...

Are you serious?

Although I really want to say that the bug may have occurred because you haven't maintained it for too long, but the ironclad facts are staring me in the face and I can't deny it.

This wasn't even the first human corpse they had obtained.

Even some of the YoRHa androids sent to Earth and the local android resistance forces saw humans with their own eyes, and a very small number of them communicated with those humans.

...although they were all subjected to mandatory amnesiacs afterwards.

The only thing in common is that all the bodies died half a year ago, and all appeared in the city where 2B and the others were.

At the same time, according to eyewitness accounts, these humans also possess certain superpowers that are clearly inconsistent with the records... and then they fight each other.

"A civil war among humans...?"

White sighed with mixed feelings. She didn't want to comment too much on the things about her creator for the time being.

With a wave of his hand, the projection of the mummy on the table disappeared, and instead, several playing images appeared.

——The scene of humans killing each other.

This is also one of the few scenes seen by the androids.

Among them, there was a human who tried to leave the city, but after leaving a certain range, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, and then his entire body began to fester, and eventually turned into a pile of white salt grains.

If Lin Qiao were here, he would probably know at a glance that this was the unlucky guy who had refused to believe in evil and had left the system's safety zone on his own initiative during the qualifying round.

But unfortunately he is not here.

What he also didn't know was that this saltation was not a punishment mechanism of the system, but that there was a substance in the air of this world that could cause death or even madness.

——Magic element from another world.

And it is precisely because these corpses have been exposed to an environment containing magic elements for a long time that their own DNA has been completely destroyed, making it impossible for the androids to clone them.

But let’s get back to the android’s perspective.

In their view, this was simply a civil war caused by humans for unknown reasons - although this was very close to the truth.

Good news: Humanity probably hasn’t become extinct. Although we don’t know the reason, there were still humans alive half a year ago.

The bad news: they are alive, but not all of them. At least it seems that the remaining ones died half a year ago.

Overall, this is a pretty fucked up thing...even a roller coaster ride has never been so thrilling.

That being said, it’s not all hopeless…

"Is it really just a coincidence that the giant came to that city?"

The Earth is so big, why did they fly to that city? Moreover, they made such human-like movements. In addition, those humans also have some extraordinary powers...

Honestly speaking, as the commander, it was hard for White not to think in this direction.

It is even more difficult for the top artificial humans in the Human Parliament not to think in this direction.

The coincidence is a bit too much!

However, having said that, all of this is just wishful thinking on their part, and no one can guarantee what the actual situation will be.

"Commander?"

Just then, 2B's voice came from the doorway.

"2B, come in."

As he spoke, White waved his hand and turned off all the holographic projections on the table, and the white-haired android walked in from outside.

"You completed the last mission very well, but I'm sorry that I have to send you out on another mission even though you just finished the maintenance."

"No, this is my job... Is it about that giant?"

"I guess so." White nodded and looked at 2B.

"It may not be a coincidence that the giant came to that city. It may be related to the human corpses found before. For various reasons, I hope you can investigate it."

Regardless of whether the giant is related to the human slaughter six months ago, the incident six months ago must be thoroughly investigated.

It is a dereliction of duty for the Creator to be unable to protect himself, so the least he should do is to investigate the cause of their death.

This is what the higher-level androids think.

"There is one more thing. The previous contact has suddenly lost contact for some reason. If possible, I hope you can contact the local resistance and find out the reason."

But as for this matter, it was really just a by-product.

Compared to matters concerning humans, the life or death of a YoRHa-model android is simply insignificant.

"Of course, 9S, who was in charge of the local investigation, will also assist you with this matter."

“…”

Just as 2B was about to leave, the commander's words made her heart skip a beat.

Although she is an auxiliary on the surface, in fact, for her whose real model is the E-type Executioner model, it is another matter.

In fact, due to 9S's excessive performance, curiosity, and investigative abilities, the probability of the other party discovering the entire "YoRHa Project" is simply sky-high compared to other machines of the same model.

Almost every once in a while, I would be forced to log off to clear my memory.

In other words, the real reason why 9S needs to go with the other party on this mission is not only to get help from the other party's scanning capabilities, but also to secretly execute 9S if he discovers any secrets.

——And 2B had already done this kind of mission 48 times before.

"But Commander, if we are investigating matters related to humans, then we shouldn't need the assistance of an S-type machine, right?"

He said it with a somewhat hesitant tone.

Even though she has carried out similar missions many times, 2B really doesn't want to continue if possible.

Preventing the other party from interfering in her mission and preventing the other party from having access to too much confidential information - this is one of the few things 2B can do for the other party.

And this is indeed a reasonable request on a certain level...

However, the commander, White, frowned and fell into a brief silence, as if he was thinking about something.

Chapter 669 The Water in This World is a Bit Deep

Ruined city....

Whether before or after the time travel, Lin Qiao was not unfamiliar with the place she first arrived at after the time travel.

After helping 2B and 9S deal with the three "Engels", he strolled through the already dilapidated city and began to revisit his old place.

The only difference was that unlike the preliminaries where he was nervous with every step for fear of being tricked, now he was walking leisurely in the middle of the street.

Of course, whether you miss it or not is another matter.

To put it more bluntly, Lin Qiao doesn't like this place.
