Rebuild World

196 Handling precautions

Rodin activated that automatic doll as a result of a pile of coincidences, which means luck.

That my buddy accidentally got the information on the automatic doll.

That thanks to the fact that we were able to hire Clothawa when we were all ready to explore the ruins, the money hung but we could reach our destination without dying.

After discovering the storage location of the four automatic dolls, Klosawa decided that securing the further automatic dolls in another location was not militarily manageable, and immediately cut off the detailed exploration of the surroundings thinking that if discovered, it would definitely rub (also).

That Clothawa's conversation with Akira and the others allowed Akira and the others to return without exploring the surroundings, and because of that they could not find another automatic doll that was relatively close to the field.

That Rodin deliberately omitted to speak to his companions about Crosava's instructions to tell them through the story, and that his companions decided that Crosava had given them permission to go on exploration alone.

They brought Rodin to the place. Rodin, who left the room, explored the surroundings as they were and discovered an automatic doll that, by chance, was too light and stored in another room.

The automatic doll storage device was installed in the middle of a slightly smaller room. It also had the appearance of a long-term sleeping device, with the top like a lid or cover of transparent material, a structure that clearly visible the interior. Inside, a female-type automatic doll was stored in a dysfunctional state.

Rodin was temporarily in love with the automatic doll, and gave his expression to the joy that had sprung up.

I should have gone right back under my buddies there. That is the best option if you consider both danger and reward. But Rodin clouded his smile, and dew his strong distress, and stopped his feet on the spot, and became troubled.

Many artifacts found in ruins are very difficult to handle. Even if found, do not touch it, keep it in place and ask a specialist supplier to deal with it. There are numerous artifacts widely known to be the best means of doing so. The old world-made automatic doll was one of its relics, and Crosava chose its means without hesitation.

However, there are shortcomings in this means. Basically, the artifact doesn't belong to the discoverer. The harder it is to handle, the more expensive it is to pay the supplier. Most are put up for sale via the vendor, and the amount of technical fees and fees is paid. No problem at all if you intend to replace the artifact with gold from the beginning. But it's a big problem for those who crave certain artifacts and dive into the ruins.

When calling for a specialist, the majority is conditional on auction of the artifact in question. It is also possible for the discoverer to buy it himself, but it will compete with companies, etc. that are craving valuable artifacts. Basically, there is no winning shot.

Rodin reached for the automatic doll storage device after worrying about the problem. And I don't know how to use it, but I tried everything and tried to open the storage device. I touched things like buttons, switches, and touch panels terribly, and while I was discouraged by the lack of response, I couldn't stop thinking about them.

Rodin had a strong longing for automated doll maids, especially those made in the old world. Young and beautiful all the time, with unshakeable loyalty that can be called machines but also the blindness of the late, very good in all respects, a being that supports the Lord with (all) of its existential significance. Being that embodies some kind of convenient desire as it is. The existence of a joke-like reality created by the technology of the old world. When I found out about its existence, I craved it for nothing, even though I didn't think I could get it myself.

Although rare (rare), very well-heard automatic dolls may admit their own possession to hunters who activated themselves in ruins.

A hunter who was fortunate enough to patronize the ruins with a powerful automatic doll, quickly becoming a first-class companion. Rumors of that hand are not uncommon in the east. A few examples have also been confirmed. A little research will also give you information on successful people. Naturally Rodin knew those stories too.

And I should also have been well aware from the stories that flow together that seeking that good fortune is a very bad bet.

Still, Rodin got his hands on that bet because he saw Siori on that spot. Siori's appearance on Raina's side was similar to the ideal that Rodin had unconsciously imagined. That was strongly stimulating Rodin's greed. And the female automatic doll in front of her was also wearing made-up clothes.

Understanding that it was a bad bet for minutes, Rodin got his hands on that bet, thinking it might not be possible for him to get another chance to get an old world-made automatic doll for the rest of his life.

And even more coincidences pile up to this point. The sound of gases leaking out in front of Rodin, who was touching the storage device in the dark cloud. The storage device is starting to open.

The storage device opened completely while Rodin accidentally took a few steps back. Then an automatic doll in made-up clothes opens her eyes, wakes herself up, and slowly rises up.

Rodin smiles at the automatic doll as the intrusive expectations and anxiety increase his palpitations as the strong feeling that he has done so runs through his chest.

"Hey."

The automatic doll points his gaze at Rodin without changing his expression.

At the next moment, the piercing (wet) hand rolled out by the automatic doll was piercing Rodin's chest. White gloves penetrated deep through Rodin's fortified clothes to the middle of his palm.

Rodin's expression changes from surprise to sad bitterness. Coincidences piled high collapsed before luck reached them, and coincidences scattered across the earth became unlucky.

"... right... duh!

Severe pain and reality brought Rodin's consciousness back from dreamer to hunter. Rodin pulled out the gun with a serious chest injury and shot indiscriminately at the automatic doll.

Never activate an automatic doll if you discover it in a ruin in the old world. Ask a specialist to respond without greed. It's a way to handle automatic dolls that are widely known to hunters in the east. And the primary reason for settling it is the pile of bodies piled up by the hunters who did not follow it. If a hunter activates an automatic doll in a ruin, the most statistically high action that the automatic doll takes is the killing of the hunter who activated himself.

According to the feeling on the ruins' side, Hunter is the person who broke into the facility armed without authorization. Automatic dolls also have individual differences and product differences, but generally make judgments accordingly. They decide that it is a pursuit of money by thieves (soothsayers), such as giving their ownership to criminals who have acquired themselves illegally without paying for it, and go into the use of force to preserve and restore their commodity value.

Thereafter, a high-performance automatic doll in operation infers the situation from the surrounding sights and sometimes goes into emergency policing activities based on the order, laws and values of the old world. There have been several instances where huge (cumbersome) prizes have been awarded to powerful prize necks as a result of unfortunate demonstrations of their high performance in an attempt to eliminate populations illegally occupying land and buildings.

And some consider those stories to be deceptive information that companies have circulated to monopolize valuable artifacts. Wouldn't the odds of an automatic doll certifying a hunter as the owner actually be considerably higher than what you were hearing? Some suspect so. Rare (rare) examples of lucky and powerful automatic dolls increase the suspicion of other hunters. As a result, hunters who place reckless bets go on forever.

Rodin lost the bet. Rodin wasn't the only one who would pay that price.

Ask Togami that Akira was a little concerned on the way through the ruins.

"Speaking of which, he said we were on a day trip, but what were you gonna do if you found an automatic doll? Those hunters seemed to defend that room for quite a while, but they wouldn't be able to do it on a day trip."

"To be honest, even if we found an automatic doll, we thought we'd find it in a cruel (terrible) state of breakage and impossible to start. So all you have to do is carry a broken automatic doll. That's what I thought."

"Was it? So you had to give up even if we had arrived there first?

"No, it's not"

"So what are we gonna do?

"I don't feel comfortable, but there are two next steps. One is how to get Drancam to send reinforcements. In that case, when contacted, he switches to the operation led by Drunkham, so he takes command and his reward is greatly reduced. So I don't feel comfortable. The other way is to destroy the automatic doll itself before it starts (to prevent the runoff of the running doll). Beautiful (clean) breaks make repairs relatively easy. However, the purchase of automatic dolls falls considerably, although it is natural. Drastically diminish the value of the artifact found in the corner (because of it). I don't feel like it either."

This is the 3D footage of the automatic doll that Akira and the others saw along the way, but if it showed signs of real activation, Siori and Kanae were going to destroy the automatic doll instantly and without question.

"... I don't know which one to choose until then."

Imagining that case, Togami, who was looking at her face lightly, noticed Akira looking at herself with an impressive gaze.

"... what the hell"

"No, I'm thinking about it. - I'm thinking about it."

"That would be right. Exploring the ruins is a risk to your life, even if it varies in degrees. I would assume that level. Even Akira, right?

Akira delicately misses her gaze. At the end of the day, I saw Alpha smiling meaningfully, and my gaze slipped away.

Togami perceived that Akira's thoughts were unexpectedly shallow, and wondered a little whether she should be surprised or impressed again with Akira, whose shallow thoughts would yield difficulties with strength.

A man watching near the entrance and exit of the room where the Clothawas were located noticed Rodin coming back from behind the aisle.

"Are you back yet? Absolutely, what are you doing..."

Let's laugh and welcome him with a light mockery. The look on the face of a man who thought so makes it all at once. I noticed traces of blood running from Rodin's foot to his back, and a rush to move on.

"Enemy attack! Rodin's hurt! Cover me!"

Yes, after shouting in the room, a man rushes over to Rodin. And propping up Rodin, who was about to collapse, Rodin fainted as he was, whether the thread of tension had been broken.

After Klosawa jumps out of the room with the other hunters and instructs the others to alert him in the opposite direction, he moves quickly toward Rodin. When you arrive under (originally) Rodin, quickly place a large, foldable gun. Then the gun unfolded at high speed, deforming into a large-calibre gun with a shield like a simple protective wall and a barrel longer than the width of the aisle.

Klosawa visually checks Rodin's condition. The life-extension function that was planted in the body, the fortified clothing that allowed the body to act even if it was injured and motionless, the strength to go on exploration by itself, those were the hard connections to Rodin's life.

"We can still make it! Get him inside right away and treat him!

A man hurries back to his room as he supports Rodin. Kurosawa also slowly falls back, vigilant in the back.

(... a blow to the chest. That wound, what? It's not like guns.... the horn of a monster? Was he around here?

Crosava's question was interrupted by a shadow that emerged from behind the aisle. Seeing the figure, the elderly woman in the maid's clothes, I suspected Siori and his associates, but immediately revoked them and made the expression look worse.

"... automatic doll. Start it up, motherfucker! Blood on gloves! That's the guy who got hurt!

Clothawa pulls the trigger without hesitation. The gun's aiming function has finished measuring the distance from the target beforehand, and a shell set to explode in the target's position before firing runs through the universe at high speeds. It exploded before the shell hit its target, scattering blasts and flames all over the aisle.

When the blast went out of the aisle, the figure of the automatic doll that was supposed to have been there disappeared as well. No shards are found like wreckage. Crosava tongues with a rugged look.

(... you got away. Probably not working nearly as well. The blast position was weird too. Did they drive the distance measurement crazy, interfere with the warhead setup, something else, or somehow prevent the damage? Boulder is an old world-made automatic doll. a lot of performance)

Klosawa decided that at least the enemy had left the scene. The gun folds again and gets smaller.

(Should I have deformed it into a machine gun type, not a shell type...)

Klosawa returned to the room with a harsh look reflecting on his errors of judgment.

Turn your gaze to Rodin, who is being put to sleep on the floor of his room after Clothawa finishes his treatment.

"How's it going?

"There is nothing else in life. But you won't wake up for a while, and you won't be a fighter."

"Can't you handle just consciousness? I need to check with this guy."

"I can't. The life-extension function is in the temporary death protection mode due to considerable serious injuries. If you release it badly, your condition will deteriorate rapidly and you will not die."

"... right"

Seeing Clothawa holding his head, the other hunters wonder.

"Is there something you need to check so quickly?

"Oh. I want to know the circumstances under which this guy was attacked. My guess is mixed, but this guy must have been attacked by an automatic doll. I just saw someone like that. He got away with it."

The hunters are spreading their chirps.

"Were there other automatic dolls!?

"Come on, so Rodin wouldn't have activated it or anything."

"You didn't decide that. Didn't you see the wrong human security robot or something?

Clothawa calms the hunters by controlling them with his hands.

"I wanted to check with this guy about that area. If we're gonna act on the worst, we need to destroy the automated doll we found beforehand."

"Ha, destruction..."

"There are three big possibilities. I ran into an automatic doll that had already been activated. This guy activated the newly discovered automatic doll. So far so good. Problem is, I found a new automatic doll, but even though I didn't intend to activate it at all, I activated it on my own. It's still good if it was a pattern that starts on its own simply because it came close. If the ruins' defenses were activated remotely to eliminate intruders, the four bodies we found are equally dangerous. Maybe I'm just in the middle of a startup sequence now. Old world-made automatic doll in a fully serviced condition. Possibly stronger than a bad bounty neck. That's four. Once engaged, it's very creepy (first)"

Hunters face each other with a rugged look. While understanding the dangers of the situation, there was a desire to avoid destroying automated dolls that would be huge (crummy) gold.

"Why, it's all about assumptions, isn't it? In case of such a danger, wouldn't you break the automated doll found in the corner (because of it)? Even specialists arrive within that time. Well, even after we wait that long..."

When Crosava turned a strong gaze on the optimistic man, so the man shut his mouth.

"I'm a hired captain. I'm in a position that ultimately has nothing to do with your team's interests. That's why some people think they can make suggestions that throw away a lot of money. I don't deny it. So you decide what you want to do. The reward for this boulder is too great. It's not for outsiders who are outside the direct interest to decide."

"Yes, no, well, it would be the captain's job to decide there!?

"If I decide, it's a destructive choice. Is that good enough for you?

When Klosawa pressed so hard, the hunters began to worry with a distressed look.

"I'll take care of the watch. Take as long as you like to make up your mind. Things may only get worse for delayed decisions, or they may not. Even if there is a time limit, it may be later than the arrival of the specialist. Or (yes), maybe it's too late. I don't know that area. Use your time as you please."

Klosawa turns his back on the hunters and heads to the entrance and exit of the room. Behind that, the hunters continued consultations that were unlikely to come to a conclusion.

Alpha asks Akira what she thought as she progressed outside the ruins looking for relics from the old world.

'I'm talking about if you give me a billion orum or so, I can buy an automatic doll, but if I can afford the money, maybe I should buy one?

Alpha rarely gives a little expression.

'You don't feel the need at all, but you want it?

'No, Alpha would be moving my fortified clothes, cars and motorcycles, wouldn't she? I was wondering if it would be convenient for Alpha to move the automatic doll the same way. "

"I don't like it."

The short words contained a strong denial.

"Oh, well."

Akira was rather surprised that some emotional response came back from Alpha saying she didn't like it, not the impossible reply due to technology, terms, etc. Then feel the subtle awkwardness and continue to misdemonize it (sesame seeds).

'No, it's not a big reason. I don't want to ask you to do anything. Look, that bumblebee guy would've been running an automatic doll in Tuvaki Halabir, right? So I was just wondering. "

"That's an old world-made automatic doll, which also uses a fairly high-performance fuselage, and after limiting itself to auxiliary behavior based on remote operation on it, I take great care not to let my personality drag on the performance of the fuselage. Prerequisites are fundamentally different."

"Uh, yeah."

"Yes, I am."

Akira had previously remembered that Alpha had been treated like an alarm clock and had been in a very bad mood. And I grasped from Alpha's attitude that it was a more disturbing story than then.

'Don't bring this story up anymore, though I don't think you've been mean to me'

"Yes."

Smile (cheeks) to tell them Alpha's back in the mood. But Akira's expression remained subtly convulsive.

It has been a while since Klosawa asked the hunters to make a decision. In the meantime, nothing happened, and the opinions of the hunters who regained calm tended to the opinion of waiting for the specialists to arrive to maintain the status quo as they watched.

I was beginning to wonder if Klosawa himself had thought a little too pessimistically.

(It's been quite a while since I got rid of that automatic doll, but no further raids. Did you get rid of him completely? The information-gathering equipment installed in the small room where the automatic doll storage case is located has not reacted to this. No sign of activation. Were you worried? Well, I'm pretty sure the old world-made automatic doll is running, and it's dangerous enough to just wander around there. But if it doesn't strike, we don't have to deal with it. You can tell the specialist the situation and leave it to him later)

Where and what is that automatic doll doing now? Futokurosawa thought so, raising his gaze somewhat slightly towards the small room in the back.

The automatic doll in that made-up garment was accidentally ahead of Crosava's gaze. He stood on the other side of the ceiling in that direction, in the room above the small room. It kept sending signals from directly above and below the storage device of the automatic doll in the small room. It was not a simple remote activation signal, but a communication close to an attack forcing (doing) the electronic barrier between the storage device and the automatic doll.

Old world-made automatic dolls for both intrusion and defense. It is inherently difficult to break through electronic barriers. However, the automatic doll of the maid clothes passed its own communication to the communication network of the ruins, and after simulating the communication authentication, let the arithmetic power of the grid say things, and broke through the barriers, although it took some time.

The eyes of the automatic dolls in the storage unit of the small room open. He then went outside the storage device in a clearly unorthodox way: punching and kicking and blowing the lid of the storage device from the inside out.

Notice the reaction of the information-gathering equipment that Clothawa had installed in the small room and move immediately.

"Automatic doll activated! Respond!"

It could have been operational but not hostile. But Clothawa truncated all the possibilities without hesitation. Fire simultaneously with completion of deformation at the door of the back chamber while deforming the variable gun into a machine gun type. Countless bullets crash into the door, making a ringtone all over the room.

The Kurosawa shooting is (to) keep the activated automatic dolls out of the small room by sending bullets inside even if the door opens. At the same time it was a time to buy the hunters time to prepare themselves for a response. The hunters are never too skilled. He has the strength to regain his posture immediately, even if he is slightly confused by the rapid development. If Klosawa stiffened the field for a few seconds, there would have been no problem.

But those few seconds were too long in front of four old world-made automatic dolls.

The door is blown from the inside out. Furthermore, the automatic doll storage device flies at high speeds, precisely aimed at Clothawa. When he realized that he could not shoot him off, Kurosawa flew away from the scene to the side.

During that movement, Klosawa saw the automatic dolls behind the storage device. Two automatic dolls were aiming for the exit of the room while shielding the thrown away storage device to prevent bullets.

Crosava tried to break consciousness to those two interceptions, but at the same time caught sight of the remaining two movements in the rear, rounding off the deal of those aiming for the exit of the room. One of the rear ones was about to throw an additional storage device at Crosawa, and the other one was trying to hit the hunters with the storage device instead of a blunt instrument.

Klosawa attempts to stop the movement by shooting an automatic doll that was about to attack the hunters while flying back and forth further from the thrown storage device. Two automatic dolls rubbed off the room in the gap.

(Has he escaped!... No, now interpret them as fewer enemies! Think about why they dispersed their power behind you! First, we need to get rid of this one!

An automatic doll swings the storage device toward the hunters before the hunters prepare to respond. An inevitable hunter was blown up and slapped on the wall of the room. Large dents were also created in sturdy storage units.

Hunters who are gradually prepared to respond to two automatic puppets trying to bring them into a melee that is clearly aimed at rioting or misfiring are also prepared to respond to some misfiring.

Hunters continue to pay for errors of judgment with bullets to destroy old world-made automatic dolls that have turned into powerful enemies to destroy expensive artifacts that were supposed to be a lot of money. We did everything we could to prevent them from taking their lives.

The automatic doll of the maid's clothes was traveling fairly fast through the ruins covered by plants. A skirt that hides even long sleeves and ankles. Long hair. ornament with a slight emphasis on appearance over functionality. They seemed to get caught up in there, but controlled those movements with subtle movements of the body, avoiding all the protrusions around them and progressing without bitterness. To achieve this easily, the performance of the old world-made automatic doll was shown to be high.

Two automatic dolls escaping the Clothawas appear there. And keep following the back of the automatic doll in the maid's clothes as they went under command.

Take something out of the inside of the skirt while the automatic doll in the maid's clothes moves and throw it to the two automatic dolls, who naturally received it.

The three automatic dolls went straight through the ruins like troops.
