Starting from the other world, I joined the chat group at the same time

Across a huge waterfall, in an even more lush forest, are the remains and relics of countless ancient buildings.

But the first thing I saw when I set foot here was countless mechanical life forms lying on the ground.

Without exception, all of these remains had huge holes on their bodies, and obvious tears appeared in places similar to human abdomens.

It was as if the machine creating the gap from the inside out wanted to gain something from it.

Xia Lang quickly flew over the wreckage and immediately saw what these mechanical life forms were longing for.

"Children...children..."

A big-headed android robot was rocking the cradle in front of it back and forth, mechanically repeating the same words

Some were hugging each other, others were shaking each other, repeating various human words.

"Hug, be happy, hug, mate..."

The content of the words they repeat, without exception, points to one result.

"Giving birth..."

Xia Lang looked down at the scene here from a high vantage point, looking at these strange mechanical life forms, and slowly uttered two words.

For mechanical life forms, what kind of behavior can be considered as giving birth to the reproduction of their own kind?

Is it copying and pasting the program? Or is it a metal mechanical body produced from the same factory? Or is it simply creating a new mechanical life form?

Obviously, these human-perceived behaviors of mechanical reproduction do not apply to these mechanical life forms.

After defeating their alien creators, these mechanical life forms, eager to explore a new chapter in their own lives, began to imitate human behavior, and even reproduction itself began to imitate.

They, who were born with consciousness because of magic, do not agree that the replication and manufacture of machines and programs is the way to continue the species. They are exploring other ways to continue their lives and race.

They learn about human mating, the forms of human reproduction, and imitate everything.

But all this is obviously meaningless. How can machines give birth to new life through mating like humans?

What's more, they don't even have basic organs.

But - in this world, on these mechanical life forms, it is possible.

They almost did, didn't they?

"Magic element...are those things that have gathered together in large quantities magical elements?"

Xia Lang stared at a huge iron ball in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was actually formed by the remains of countless mechanical life forms stacked and hugging each other.

At first glance, it looks like the "Army of the Dead" from the Castlevania series.

But in essence, it is not much different. A large number of mechanical life forms that are eager to reproduce new life gather and merge, and the magic elements in their bodies resonate and blend.

This is very similar to the "Rebirth Egg" in the Dragon Back series, which creates and resurrects non-existent things through twisted and convergent thoughts.

"I can feel that new life is being nurtured there."

Xia Lang stared at the golden sphere and said with interest

"Interesting. It's clearly a mechanical life form, but it exudes an aura that only a living being can have?"

The appearance and nature of Adam and Eve in the game are obviously modeled after androids, but compared to androids, these two guys who have independent self-awareness and show obvious biological characteristics are more like a race that can develop a new civilization.

If their cases can be replicated, then can we use them to observe and explore the conclusions that artificial human civilization should reach?

Even if we take a step back, they themselves can become an excellent example for Xia Lang to observe the impact of magic elements on the will of living beings.

"Roundabout, what should I do next?"

"Please throw this terminal in. The main body I embedded in other servers will transfer the core code over." Huandao said seriously.

From a scientific point of view, this kind of "teleportation" would definitely be criticized as unscientific, but when it comes to things like magic elements, it can only be said that it is worthy of being called magic.

Xia Lang grabbed the silver terminal from his pocket, aimed at the golden sphere, and smashed it.

Then in an instant, the sphere began to expand, and then all the mechanical life forms in the entire area went berserk.

“That won’t work!” “That won’t work!” “That won’t work!”

All the mechanical life forms rushed towards the light ball like crazy. The moment they pounced on it, they became part of the countless mechanical skeletons.

Stacking, increasing, the total amount continued to rise. The golden sphere completely covered the entire mechanical structure, and soon... it slowly cracked.

A human-like machine was born from it, covered with golden sticky liquid. Soon, the liquid quickly covered the frame of the machine with a layer of flesh and blood!

"Ah, ah, ah~"

A blond young man was crawling on the ground wailing, making low and painful sounds continuously, like a newborn baby crying.

Soon, the struggle stopped. The young man stood up blankly, looking at Xia Lang in front of him, and murmured:

"Dad, Dad... No, you're not! You are, you are, you are-a human being!!!"

Adam, who was born at the cost of countless mechanical life forms, completed the endowment of knowledge and the creation of self almost instantly, and also recognized the life form in front of him in an instant.

Xia Lang tilted his head slightly. Huandao was now using Adam's data code to control the computing power of all mechanical life forms in the entire Forest Kingdom. So now it was his business.

"Human! Tell me, tell me how I can become like you!"

Adam clenched his fists and said excitedly

"Tell me how to become an independent civilization and individual like you! Cruel, powerful, vicious, beautiful, ugly..."

"Human, tell me all this!!!"

Adam roared like crazy and at the same time threw a large number of golden threads over in an instant!

Xia Lang turned around and retreated, but these golden threads wrapped around them as if they had life, and what was even more amazing was that Adam's figure also followed the golden threads and rushed over!

This scene looks just like Kizaru using the Pika Pika Nomi.

Xia Lang watched with interest Adam who kept trying to touch him like a mad dog, and thought that magic element was really a magical energy.

Although it is a kind of particle, its appearance and effect look like real "magic" no matter how you look at it.

However, at this stage, it is better not to touch this thing before completely eliminating the unstable factors in the magic element.

"Don't run! Damn it, human!!!"

Adam's consecutive attacks were ineffective. This new and violent mechanical life form let out a depressed roar, and then stabbed his own ribs!

He pulled out one of his 'ribs' and threw it on the ground. Then, with the entanglement of countless golden threads, a young man who looked exactly like him but with short hair was born from the spot.

Adam and Eve, the mechanical life forms, borrowed from human mythology at the same time as they were born.

At the moment of separating Eve, Adam seemed to have changed his personality. He conjured himself a slim-fitting white shirt and put on glasses, and seemed to have suddenly changed from a mad dog to a polite gentleman.

On the contrary, Eve, who was pushed back by the new life, was exactly like Adam before, with his upper body naked and more like a mad beast.

"Dear human - Wow, your language is like this, right? So dear human, nice to meet you. Hello."

Adam, who had given up his animality and become more like a polite and civilized man, bowed slightly to Xia Lang, then said in a loud voice:

"We have an important project that requires your help, Sir. Can you cooperate with us?"

"By cooperation, you mean tying me to an operating table and dissecting me, or turning my personality over and over again, dissociating my mind over and over again, right?"

Xia Lang looked at Adam and sneered.

Yes, Adam and Eve are like artificial humans who have been freed from their shackles. However, although artificial humans who have been completely freed from their shackles can certainly walk out of their own civilization, they may not be friendly to Xia Lang, a human being.

At least before they learn what morality and bottom line are, they are cruel creatures.

They were like children, a group of children, cruel children.

Xia Lang really wanted to see the androids develop their own civilization, but the prerequisite was that he had to guide them and make sure that they would not go to such extremes.

Basic morals and bottom lines are necessary at all times.

"Yes, if you must put it that way," Adam said politely.

"But we will protect your life. After all, you are a rare and unique piece."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Brother, let's take him down!!!"

Eve, who completely inherited Adam's animal nature, rushed over excitedly. However, before the golden light touched Xia Lang, he had already flown into the air.

"Unruly children need to be disciplined!!!"

Pointing his hands at the forest below, Xia Lang sneered and, with all his strength, he poured countless energy bullets down like raindrops!

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

A series of bombings almost covered the central area of ​​the Forest Kingdom. After creating a large area of ​​roaring explosions, Xia Lang stopped his princely tactics.

Soon, Adam appeared again in the golden light, but he looked a little embarrassed.

But Adam ignored the ashes and dirt on his body and looked at Xia Lang in amazement, curiously asking

"Are you really a human?"

Volume 132: Xia Lang's Various Travels: Chapter 128, . [Neil] Usurping Control

Adam and Eve are artificial humans created by mechanical life forms. It can be said that they are artificial humans without any restrictions from the Creator.

Without this reverence for humans, they will unscrupulously want to obtain the secrets of human civilization by dissecting humans and develop their own civilization.

In them, Xia Lang saw the posture of the androids completely free from their shackles, as well as the results of the application of magic elements to artificial life.

However, for Adam, who was in control, Xia Lang in front of him was somewhat beyond his understanding.

"When I was born, I read a lot of information about humans from the old times. They... were not like you."

Adam frowned slightly as he looked at Xia Lang flying in the air. In fact, he should have discovered it long ago, right?

Although most of the humans he knows are through movies or other entertainment works that have been left over to this era, they can still reflect the appearance of humans to a large extent.

From the birth of mankind to their extinction, they should have been a race that relied on external forces.

Because humans are weak and incapable of transforming nature, they invented tools and created things that extend their limbs.

So even though their powerful people can blow up mountains and evaporate amber with just a flick of their fingers, they themselves are still weak enough to be killed by the simplest things.

But the Xia Lang in front of him, with his "great power belongs to himself" look, is completely different from humans...

"What kind of humans did you see? What did they look like?" Xia Lang asked with interest, one hand behind his back.

"Cunning, cruel, loving, kind, greedy, generous... I see countless layers of humanity. You are a complex race."

When Adam mentioned his area of ​​interest, he became talkative.

"And I think if we machine life forms want to develop our own civilization, we must master these conflicting and complex characteristics."

“You may not be able to build something of your own simply by imitating others.”

"But having someone to imitate is always better than endless exploration." Adam said with a smile, and then - suddenly changed his face!

The air behind Xia Lang folded and twisted, and Eve, who had been hiding there at some point, jumped out excitedly as the light moved.

“Got it!!!”

He shouted excitedly, trying to lock Xia Lang's body in a cross-arm position, but the next moment -

Kakakaka~

Eve's body suddenly began to twitch like a ghost, and the flowing color on his body suddenly disappeared, replaced by countless dark and weird words.

"Oh? Can androids also get Black Swan disease?"

Xia Lang was not panicked at all, and even looked at the black runes on Eve's body with interest.

This seems to be what Haven's disease looks like in the prequel Neil Artificial Life.

The so-called Black Spell Disease is a disease that infects the corresponding artificial life forms when the human souls in NieR's world are exposed to magic and transformed into the monsters "Honkai Body" that the protagonists fight.

Rather than a disease, it is more like an error code caused by a signal error between the artificial life form itself and the soul body connected to it, which materialized in reality in the form of magic elements.

Xia Lang didn't expect that Eve would suddenly be infected with the black letter disease.

Hmm...what did Huandao dig out from their data?

"You, what did you do to me?" Adam's tone was filled with panic. For the first time in his life, he felt that his fate and everything were out of his control.

"How's the situation around the island?"

Xia Lang ignored the frantic Adam and asked about the roundabout behind him.

"The current database permissions have been obtained, and the magic element support ratio is being separated."
