Chapter 56: Going to explore
Yes, it is definitely not worth looking forward to.
Delia's parents mixed into the group of mechanics and entered the Tower of Babel to make a pilgrimage, and then lost contact. Everyone believed that they had died in the Tower of Babel. If they really appeared before Delia again as Shuer said, whether in the form of a mechanical body or a human form, it only means one problem, that is, they have betrayed human beings, entered the mechanical camp, and become enemies of Delia's trip.
The imagined parents who had passed away might meet again. This should be the dream opportunity for Delia, who was abandoned by her parents since childhood. However, do they really have normal human nature? If they really have human rationality, will Delia really have enough courage to climb the Tower of Babel and destroy the system that supports her parents' lives with her own hands?
"Hahaha, it's a stupid behavior between relatives, right? And it's also boring." Shure's expression was weird, full of mockery and sarcasm, and he didn't know who it was targeted. "But what happened in reality is often more stupid and boring than imagined. Hey, so you'd better think about it now. If a similar situation occurs, what you should do. Don't worry, no matter what you want to do, we will support you. Anyway, there is no loss for us. You can't let you call me uncle for nothing."
"I...I...What can I do?" Delia's heart was already in chaos and she said at a loss, "Uncle, what should I do?"
"Tsk, it depends on what you want to get." Shure seemed to be talking about something that has nothing to do with him. "If you want to be a hero of humanity, then everything will be done according to the original plan. However, this means that you have personally sent them to a dead end. It is also very easy to question them in person. You will show up now. As long as we help you fight for a period of time, you will definitely get the opportunity to communicate with the mechanical camp. If you show what you show, you can naturally question it in person, but after questioning in person, it is unlikely that you will want to sneak in secret."
"It's not impossible to say that you can't bear to leave them and want to be with them forever. I think the mechanical party is very happy to have an additional rational individual who voluntarily joins. As long as you make a request, you will soon be able to obtain a brand new body. Now, just like those over there, you can stay with your parents and live happily. Don't worry, no matter what other humans in this world think, at least we will not oppose you. For outsiders in the neutral camp, it's normal for you to choose like this, and there's nothing to be surprised about."
"Of course, if you are really cruel and unable to make a decision, it is also a good choice to look back now. Going back to the floating city and treat everything as a dream, just like nothing has happened. Don't bother with choices and let others make decisions. Don't worry, even if you do this, we will support you. Oh, this is not timid and cowardly. Everyone's psychological tolerance is limited. Recognizing your own limits and not wanting to do things that are beyond your ability is actually a sign of rationality."
"Uncle..." The girl still held the last glimmer of hope, "These are just speculations, mom and dad... may not be here."
"Yes, yes, now it's just speculation. After all, your parents are not real mechanics. They are likely to have been identified and then killed. Well, this possibility is indeed a little higher." Shure shrugged, "But do you want to bet on the probability issue? It turns out that the guesswork is indeed possible. If you don't prepare mentally in advance, are you going to be ready to wait until the problem is in front of you? It's not impossible, but I must remind you that in the examples I have seen, there is an 83% chance of regretting the on-site decisions made without careful consideration, and you will regret it very much."
"Hey? Is such an accurate number?" Lin Jing blinked his big eyes, "How did he count it?"
"It's made up anyway."
"Puff", even in such a heavy atmosphere, Delia was angry and laughed. Once she laughed out loud, the depression and boredom in her heart miraculously relieved a lot, at least her brain could calmly think about the problem.
"Uncle, I know you're right, and you should be mentally prepared in advance." The girl said distressedly, "But after all, the problem has not yet appeared. I really don't know how to face it. Even if I imagine it, I can't imagine it out of thin air. Uncle, why don't you give me some advice, what should I do?"
"No one can give you such advice, you have to judge everything yourself. Hey, don't you want to be a hero? Don't you want to save the world? There is always a price to achieve your goal. At least the decision is one of the costs." Shure sighed and stopped putting pressure on Delia. "But there is no need to worry now. You can think slowly along the way, but it won't take too long. Well, of course, maybe we didn't find anything and just climbed to the Tower of Babel so smoothly. I think that's the best ending, but considering the worst possibility is my habit. As for whether you should follow the advice and think about what to do in advance, decide for yourself. There are still serious things to do now."
"Everyone, leave the main urban area and re-enteres the abandoned city."
Without asking why, the group exited the city along the road, found half of the solid building ruins, selected a large room and hid in it, and the halfling quickly checked the room and confirmed that there was no image acquisition device in the room, so everyone settled down temporarily.
"Resting on the spot, the time is to be determined, no noise is made, and no mechanical beasts are attracted to the attention of them. After a while, the doors and windows of the room are sealed, leaving only the airways. Delia can temporarily escape from the lurking state, but try not to move vigorously."
"clear."
"Mia, you are responsible for observing the outside world's tasks."
"Well, the Eye of the Mage has been laid."
"Very good, so everyone else has a break, Marca Jaylen follows me, by the way, Mia..."
"For you." Before Shul finished speaking, he handed the invisibility scroll in front of him.
"Enough." Shur gave Mia a thumbs up, tear a scroll open, and disappeared from everyone's face. "Macajren, let's go for an adventure. I am the most stubborn. The more others block the place I don't let me enter, the more I want to go in and see it. Besides, I haven't seen a personal terminal along the way, but there must be some in the factory in operation. Before entering the Tower of Babel, you must be prepared first. Are you okay?"
"Okay, boss."
