Another World: My life is on the hook!

Chapter 2464: Am I not back?

End of report.

She lowered her head and clenched her hands on the table little by little.

And now she understands.

Not searchable.

Unless they start to act or reveal themselves, they will truly show signs of corruption. Otherwise, you can't pull them out from the inside using ordinary means.

The silence spread little by little.

She just sat there, not moving.

"What happened to me just now?"

She suddenly asked in a low voice.

"You inquired about Mr. Lin's awakening. The intelligent brain reported to you the recent situation and mission briefings that occurred in the past month. Excuse me. Do you need a detailed record of your personal behavior?"

Silver Fantasy didn't say anything. She looked at her lowered hands. The touch of her fingers pressing on her forehead seemed to still remain.

Her eyes regained their former rationality and calmness.

"Have I behaved in any unusual way during this period? Or... have I issued any orders?"

"No records reported."

"How many times have I done the same thing as before?"

"The intelligent brain has searched for you - similar behaviors within a month - 79 times."

Silence returned to the cold room once again.

Until a long time.

She whispered, "Orders."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Separate a part of the atomic machinery, build an independent matrix network, grant the highest authority, and observe and record my behavior around the clock for one year. After that, every order I give must be monitored and reviewed by the matrix network. I will give you a memorandum. Once any of my actions exceed or deviate from the guidelines in the memorandum..."

"Immediately cut off my connection with all mechanical units and freeze all my orders. At the same time, send a full warning to Night City: Lynn, Constantine, Titan... and report my position."

She was silent for a moment.

“And the painter.”

She also added that within the time limit of this order, no one has the right to cancel it, including herself.

"The current order has been recorded - all honeycomb networks have been released - and an independent atomic matrix supervision committee has been established for you - the current highest authority and priority: 001"

As the order was given, she finally took a deep breath, relaxed, rested her forehead on her slender arms, and lowered her head on the table.

Time passes slowly in this silence.

This loneliness made her feel as if she had returned to the days of the Mechanicus, when her father was in charge of everything.

Lonely and lonely.

I don’t know how long it took.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel that there was someone beside her, and there was a faint familiar warmth on the back of her hand, just like a broad hand holding your hand. That feeling woke her up from her empty dream.

She suddenly raised her head and looked towards the four tables and chairs, and immediately grabbed the weapon leaning against the chair.

"You react so quickly? I haven't had time to do anything bad yet!"

A half-smiling asshole's voice sounded.

In a trance.

She saw the figure sitting cross-legged on the table. His hair was gray, but he still had the same malicious smile on his face that he had when they first met in the Cursed City a few years ago. If you were not so familiar with him, you would definitely think that he was a hooligan who came out from nowhere and was ready to abduct Shao Luo.

He was not sitting on a chair, but on the table, smiling at her, his eyes looking at her intently.

There was a brief silence.

Eyes facing each other.

She stared calmly at the figure in front of her, without any ripples on her face, and she didn't seem to be at all surprised by his appearance.

"Um... don't you want to say something? Like a hug after a long separation, or hold me and cry for a few times and then I'll comfort you, or give me a passionate kiss or something like that, isn't that what a normal girl should do?"

Linn touched his chin.

He got no response.

The mechanical girl's expression remained calm.

And just when he was hesitating, he wondered if the way he opened it was wrong.

The little hand he was holding was instantly pulled away from the table, and a fist hit the back of his hand. The entire mechanical area shook at this moment.

"(wДw) Hey!! Hey!! If you have anything to say, just say it nicely, don't be so violent right away!! And you're just taking a look, don't be so cruel!"

Lynn grabbed her wrist, the back of her swollen hand was red and warm.

It hurts so much!

Silver Fantasy did not respond to him. She calmly hugged her chest with one hand and waved the other hand. A large number of nanomachines attached to her body, quickly wrapping her exposed skin in a layer of mechanical tights, covering up her graceful body that made people fantasize.

Only after she had done all this did her gaze fall on him again, her eyes flickering, as if hiding many unspeakable emotions.

Looking at each other.

But for a moment, there was no language.

It's like I have so many things to say, but when they come to my lips, I just can't say them...

She just clenched her fists.

The light in his eyes was like some kind of beating tears.

That look is really heartbreaking.

"I woke up."

Lynn returned to normal, smiling brightly, with her hands on her knees.

"Don't worry, everything is fine now. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you to take care of you during this time, but I rushed here as soon as the retreat was over. Of course, if you want to blame me, I will reluctantly let you slap me twice, just consider it... my apology, how about it?"

brush--

Snapped--

Lin En quickly raised his arm to block the slap. He adjusted his monocle with a terrified look and glared:

"Are you really fighting?"

But the next moment, the silver-haired girl reached out and hugged him tightly without any warning.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

All that is left are the feelings and pain of the years.

In fact, among all the girls he had met, she had always been the one that Lin En particularly wanted to conquer, because she was so strong, so calm and rational, and it seemed that no matter what happened, she would not be moved.

Because she is the Silver Fantasy of the Mechanicus, a cold war machine hidden under a cold metal appearance that no one can approach.

It’s just.

It was by chance a few times that he pried open her cold armor and saw the soft heart hidden within her reason and logic.

As a result, there were endless entanglements.

Lin En's eyes finally softened, patted her shoulder, and said softly:

"I'm back, aren't I?"
