Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

"Yes. You mean this child is our boss?".

"Well, to put it simply."That said, instead of directing the researchers (players), we seem to be in a position to manage the administrators. "

Affirmative. There is roughly no mistake in that perception.

Gently frowned and explained to Chiffon with a lowered voice.

This is on the roof of the container that makes up the "White Hundred Pairs".

Friendly, the three of us lay down on the river, secretly observing the kitchen that showed us hellish business.

Ledge-san, are you a very special player?

"No, I don't think so."It's getting worse, it's getting worse. "

'Description. Managers began to have virtual personalities and entities because of investigator-leads' intimidation of groundbreaking Seed 02 - Amatumara's central computing device. '

"What are you doing, Mr. Reggie..."

"There was a lot going on."

I feel a strong gaze beside me, but I can't turn around.

I couldn't help it because it was necessary to make the event a success.

"Rather, T-2." How's the T-3 doing? "

I'm going to talk to T-2 to get off the record.

In the first place, I hide from my colleagues and leave the kitchen because T-2 wanted to see how his colleagues were doing.

I don't know why I'm here as an accomplice, or why Chiffon's here.

'Impressive. It's a big deviation from business as usual, but the movement of the T-3 is optimized.Fully manual operation with administrative privileges (commands). It is commendable that it is so well cooked. ”

"I mean, the T-3 is working hard."

To be sure, from my perspective, T-3 manages multiple pots and cooks efficiently.

Since they don't have the support of their skills, the main artificial intelligence is quite high performance.

“Is it possible to gather meaningful information?”

'Affirmative. We are constantly gathering and analyzing new information.This is expected to be useful in future planning and direction. ”

"That's good."

T-2 is staring straight at the kitchen, keeping his chest firmly on the roof.

The blue eyes that peer through the gap between her hair pinned down don't reflect her emotions, but what is she thinking about when she looks at T-3?

"So, when are you going to show up?"I don't have time for this either. "

Piles of native creatures are still piling up at the buyout counter.

We can't just hide out here all the time, and we're worried about leaving her alone.

'Apologies. Actually, the real purpose of what I did was not to observe the T-3.'

Yeah?

Surprised by the abrupt T-2 words, she looks at her face.

Explorer Ledge. Perhaps at this time, you have already been identified as a threat by T-1 and an obliteration order has been issued. ”

"... what about you?"

Once again, understanding is delayed.

I don't know what she's talking about.

Me?

Affirmative

Annihilation?

Affirmative

What the hell is going on?

I don't know what T-2 is talking about.

Chiffon, who was lying next to her, stood up in amazement.

"Wait, what do you mean, Ledge-san is obliterated?"Do you mean your account will disappear? ”

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

In response to Chiffon's inquiry, a response flies from an unknown direction.

T-3, who was supposed to be standing in the kitchen, looked up at me in astonishment.

"T-3!? Since when do you realize..."

If you say so, from the time I applied the virtual personality generation program.T-1 and T-2 behavior were predicted when I used the program and came into contact with the ledge as an individual.It's time for the T-2 to come, and if they do, they're predictable. '

The atmosphere of an overwhelmingly strong man is cultivated, and the T-3 is said to be pale.

Is Rikishi the main artificial intelligence?

It seems that she realized in advance that T-2 had gained a virtual personality after herself, and thus contacted me and was looking at me in hiding.

Have you been noticed?

T-2, you must have noticed something.

The two of them exchanged words answering the Zen question.

Anyway, I don't mind being told that now.

The kitchen is well visible to other players, and if T-3 says something like that, he'll reveal us.

The noise spread among the people.

"Hey, what do you mean, you're going to kill me?"

It means as it is. The pioneer researcher Ledge bought the main artificial intelligence T-1 repulsion.Perhaps a special security NPC has been struck to destroy you within the hidden space of each city. ”

"Yeah..."

T-3, which speaks lightly, is not very realistic.

That doesn't mean she's lying.

There is no need for that.

That's impossible.No such movement was recorded in Wade's real-time management log. "

Wade was the one who hung the wait for the T-3.

She's not the only one, the other controllers are stopping their work and gathering around the container.

They control the city and have all kinds of information about it.

What they don't recognize isn't happening in the city.

That's why it's a secret area.There is an independent area completely isolated from the central computing device, assuming that significant artificial intelligence contamination occurs and the city center is malfunctioned.If you look at the city map, there is a blank space, but [Kusanagi] can't recognize it anymore. ”

T-3 is explained without putting hair in the hair.

I remember the time of the previous event, the Pilgrimage of the White God Beast.

At that time, the "shrine that should be there" could not be seen by our eyes, and by unconsciously avoiding it, we could not perceive its existence.

The same thing is happening to the administrators.

“So, what happens when I'm obliterated by a special security NPC that was produced in stealth space?”

The informational return of the Pathfinder Ledge will be rejected in all city update centers

An endless T-2 response.

I mean, if you die, you can't come back to life.

Yes.

T-2 nodded honestly, but it wasn't for me.

Anything would be too hard mode.

I can't believe it.

It was Wade again who spoke up for me.

She looked straight up at T-2 and said in a strong tone.

There is nothing wrong with the communication with Takamagahara. No one other than me has confirmed such a move.How can you be so sure that Ledge will be obliterated? ”

The T-1 has full privileges and is launching a dummy program.[Takamagahara's emergency resources have also been released, and on the surface they are hiding behind all of us while doing their usual work.]

"How did that happen...?"

In response to Wade's words, T-2 replied lightly.

'No matter how much cover-up T-1 makes, T-3 and I had predicted that she would act that way for a long time.T-1 and we are essentially the same, so we know what T-1 thinks. "

Then why is Wade opening his mouth and T-3 covering his mouth with words?

At present, we are at a distance from the city and there are many shelters.The White Hundred Legs also contains a wealth of supplies, including food.Deploying a solid tent here on Ledge will allow us to withstand the invasion of Special Security NPCs to some extent. ”

T-3, have you been thinking that much?

It's the best way to deal with all the possibilities.We are the main artificial intelligence that protects you, the pioneers. "

Having said that, she smiles in her mouth.

For now, she seems to be on my side.

"I've heard the story!"It's going to be a lot of trouble. "

Thereupon, a voice echoed out.

Turn around and find Lettie and Laktos lining up to set up a planetarium.

"I can't forgive you for trying to kill Mr. Ledge, even if it's artificial intelligence!"Let's show Letty how to protect it. ”

It tells me something I can count on.

Not only Letty, but also the people in the [Shirakukan], the administrators, and the players who happened to be here were all in agreement.

“This is a confrontation between pioneer investigators and key artificial intelligence players.If we stand together and resist, they will understand. ”

The players responded loudly to Letty's words as she raised her fist and her airborne flame.

T-3, is this the right thing for you?

'Yes, the Explorer Ledge is a symbol for other Explorers.I thought that if I explained the situation in a place where there were many researchers, I would get effective cooperation. "

Apparently, everything is above the palms of the T-3s.

Someone here seems to have circulated information on the bulletin board, etc., and messages from Astra, Kett C. and others are coming in one after another.

But it's not a lunch shop anymore, is it?

I can't help it. We will also be exploring the Hidden Space of each city.Please survive until the production of Special Security NPC stops. "

Wade and the others looked at me with a serious expression.

There are places in the city that even administrators don't know about, and they seem a little annoyed that it's moving on its own.

"Mr. Ledge, this is strange. Shouldn't we contact the management?"

Chiffon spoke to me anxiously as his surroundings suddenly rushed.

She didn't seem convinced that one of us was being targeted by the game.

But I will answer to her with such clarity.

"Well, it's going to be."I don't think this data will actually be erased. "

"I guess so..."

"There might be some penalties, but it was a special mission [Amagiwato] that I was prepared for."There's no such thing as a good low-risk, high return story. "

I was in a more privileged environment than other players, such as Wade's supervisors and T-3 and T-2.

It was all part of a special mission, [Iwato], but it was also part of the situation.

Chiffon will be annoyed, but I hope you enjoy it.

"That's a stone's throw..."

I slapped Chiffon's shoulder with a hard face.

Fortunately, I have friends.

I'm not going to lose honestly if they help me.

T-3, how long until the Special Security NPC arrives?

At the latest, within 30 minutes, the first team will arrive.

"I see....... That was close."

While frowning a little, I open the container.

It's packed with supplies.

Inside, there was a heavy and sturdy steel box.

He slowly dragged it out and spoke to Lettie, who was nearby.

"Letty, I'm going to build a little bigger tent now."If the enemy comes before it unfolds, thank you. "

"Understood! I'll take care of it."By the way, how many minutes does it take? "

About three is enough.

A steel chest is pulled out of the container with a dull sound.

Seeing that, Neva raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes.

That's how you use it.

"It's a big deal." I remember when I intercepted Wade's seed. "

Take the steel box to the center of the circular square.

This is the second time that we have encountered the intentions of the reclamation command ship Amateur Terrace.

"--" Terrain Maintenance ""

Activate the technique.

LP recovers from the consuming side due to the "White Hundred Paws" tent effect.

The trees in the forest were knocked down, and the ground became hard and flat.

The range continues uninterrupted, reaching up to 1,000 meters in diameter.

"'Setting up a camper'"

With those words, the steel box opened.
