Chapter 253 Chapter 253: The Promise
"Leftover Woman?"
At first, Renji thought it was a typo, but CN. One nodded affirmatively and repeated, [Yes, Commander, the Bright Leftover Woman]
Renji couldn\'t help but turn his head to look at 86, but this time 86 shook her head, indicating she hadn\'t done any sleight of hand; this was purely a setting of this world.
Just like the existence of the "Witch" Miasma Master.
\'Well\'
\'It\'s a dream, after all, understandable I guess…\'
From CN. One, he learned a lot of critical intelligence, much of which pointed to reality, like the Brave Mech.
The Witch\'s trial was something he had experienced before, but despite completing it, he didn\'t receive any Emperor\'s Brand, which only proved that he was not the first to pass. Before him, someone from another force had passed the trial and taken the Emperor\'s Brand that could summon mechs.
As for who this other force was, from the "Savior Association" food coupon in the little girl\'s package, Renji had already guessed it could only be them who had the capability to be the first to pass.
This also explained why Kael Technology was desperately recruiting scholars, even at the expense of digging into the walls of Sin City.
Kael Technology must have tasted the sweetness, hence needing countless scholars to help them research how to pass the trials of other Miasma Masters and obtain the Emperor\'s Brand.
However, it seems they only got the Emperor\'s Brand but didn\'t know how to use it properly.
Apart from the Emperor\'s Brand from Kael Technology, Renji was also very concerned about the Fantasy Supervision. The consciousness chips of the maid sisters are stored there.
\'Could I use this route to directly liberate them? Or do something else? In any case, this was impossible in Dream Zero; I had to return to reality\'
Just in time, he had also been in the dream for almost five or six hours. The time in the Dream Zero is the same as in reality. He logged in at dawn, and it should be almost dawn in reality now, \'time to "wake up" from the dream\'
But before that, "CN. One, I have some matters to handle back in reality."
[Is Commander leaving again? Understood, I will reconnect to the base network and enter automatic patrol mode. Please rest assured Commander. During your absence, we will continue to fight against the Tainted Miasma and wait for your return]
Looking at the saluting blindfolded maid\'s opposite him, what Renji wanted to do before leaving was exactly this.
He quickly shook his head and interrupted, "No, CN. One, I request that after I leave, you must not connect to the base network or stop automatic patrolling. Under the premise of ensuring your own safety, stand by in place until I log in again, understand?"
CN. One was obtained through a loophole in 86\'s virus manufacturing system to modify the program. Once he goes offline, 86 will also go offline. If CN. One connects to the base network, the loophole created by 86 is likely to be quickly identified and fixed.
By the time Renji logs in again, the already corrected version would probably use the "Glory Program" on him, No. 17639 Having finally got a mechanical servant on his side, Renji didn\'t want to "insert a USB" again, so he had to restrict CN. One\'s connection with the base.
[This does not comply with the regulations]
The blindfolded mechanical servant first denied, but soon nodded and said, [But if it\'s the commander\'s order, CN. One understands. We will standby at this coordinate and wait for you. This will also make it easier for you to find us immediately after you log on]
"Good, then it\'s settled. We\'ve made a promise, Don\'t let me find you\'re not here when I log on again, or you would be breaking our agreement, and I would be very angry," Renji said very seriously.
[A promise with the commander? Rest assured, CN. One will do everything possible to comply]
"Okay, I\'m leaving now. It won\'t be too long. See you later."
After receiving a precise response from the blindfolded maid, Renji felt relieved. He waved at CN. One with a smile, while 86 transformed back into a dream terminal, initiating the "dream exit" program for Renji.
Watching Renji quickly blur and disappear, CN. One suddenly made a strange gesture.
She raised her hand, imitating Renji\'s waving.
[See you later, Commander....]
Unfortunately, by this time, Renji had already disappeared within the Dream. When CN. One finished speaking, only the empty air remained opposite her.
Then, another action entirely out of character for a mechanical being occurred on CN. One.
Looking towards where Renji disappeared, her eyes covered by black cloth seemed to express a dazed look, staring blankly at the empty, desolate land without the commander.
Afterward, CN. One\'s hand raised again, but this time, instead of imitating Renji\'s waving goodbye, she touched her own lips.
Mechanical Servant, as bionic beings, look almost indistinguishable from humans from the outside, including their soft, red lips, which are even more perfect than most humans, as they are created from the most perfect molds.
CN. One\'s action of touching her lips, followed by the rest of the forty-nine "combat maid" Mechanical Servant in the rear queue, seemingly influenced, also made the same gesture. They all placed their hands on their lips, as if... feeling something they have never seen or possessed before.
This phenomenon, luckily, occurred without any human witnesses, or it would have been astonishing.
After all, for mechanical servant, their hands are meant to touch weapons, not their lips, which are merely "decorative" and meaningless to them.
Perhaps the computational load behind this action is very large, so large that by the time Renji logs back on, they might still be analyzing this gesture.
Unfortunately, about an hour and a half after Renji left, a communication breached CN. One\'s system.
This was not a communication from the base.
CN. One followed Renji\'s last command and did not connect to the base network.
But besides base communications, there was another type of regional temporary communication.
This communication usually occurs when other mechanical servant troops encounter a Miasma surge far beyond their capacity, broadcasting to their region.
A Miasma surge is a manifestation of the Dream Zero\'s expansion, always in the form of a monster wave.
And the mechanical servant troops receiving this communication must immediately rush to the area, doing their utmost to weaken the Miasma surge, thereby slowing the pace of the dream\'s expansion.
This has always been their mission.
