I really only stop

Strom bit his lip unwillingly, looked at the light wall in front of him and sighed: "Going to the center of Osiris requires a higher level of authority. But under the current situation, even if you want to go through the back door, you can't find the relevant personnel. "

"How about blasting that wall of light 'Boom!'?"

Zelika always thought of some lively and rough scenes: "Although I can't use my full strength because of the seal, Yuxia, who is a saint, is good at light magic, right? Take a big hammer Wouldn’t it be enough to smash it open?”

"I, I think it's better not to do that..."

Holding a puppet in the shape of a bird in both hands, Nana whispered her opinion:

"Just now Boi flew around Sky City, and it detected a very high energy response from the huge halo surrounding Osiris. Although Miss Nova has not shown any hostility towards us now, if we make the intention to attack if--"

"Ha, or Zerika's head is only Zurika's head after all~"

Under Celica's resentful eyes, Lu Xi stretched out a finger and poked her forehead lightly:

"Even an ordinary small village has an armed force like the Cavaliers. As a mysterious place suspended in the air for thousands of years, how could Osiris not have a solution to deal with violent incidents?"

"..."

Although there was still a lot to say, everyone fell into silence for a while.

The current living quarters, while well-stocked and interesting enough, don't provide much intel about the secrets behind Osiris.And if you can't figure this out, even the most heartless Zerika won't be able to play here leisurely.

After all, this is an ancient ruin that suddenly disappeared from people's sight for more than 1 years!When you don't know the reason behind it, you can play here with confidence. What if it encounters a ghost again?

—Indecision, Tiamat.

While everyone was still thinking about the current situation, taking advantage of the opportunity of Selika leaning on her body bored, Lu Xi, who was worried and calm at hand, activated the call line with Big Sister Tiamat again.

'Tiamat, do you know anything about this sky city? '

[Ding, you have received a text message from Tiamat, the Lord of Hell. 】

【……what?I do not know? (Great read) What is Sky City, exactly? (Stick reading stick reading)]

???

Looking at the text displayed on the system's light screen, Lu Xi felt an old hole stuck in his heart, and he couldn't vomit.

Dear big sister, even if it's a lie, at least please show me some acting skills, okay?

What's the matter with this kind of text message marked with brackets (stick reading)?If I didn't know your temperament, I would feel that I was cheated by the Pippi system. Hey!

[Although I don't know the situation here at all, but for the super lucky son, I have a suggestion from here~]

Using clumsy words that even children can see through to change the subject, Tiamat sent another text message:

【'What is more dangerous than harboring evil intentions is blind obedience and loyalty. ']

【The above, I wish you good luck~】

PS: ah?What am I implying? (Stick reading) What's a ticket, right? (stick reading stick reading)

Chapter 161 I'm Here to Apply for the Chairman's Job!

'what?Tiamat?Tiamat?elder sister?big sister? '

After staring at the unresponsive communication panel for a while, Lu Xi sighed helplessly and reached out to close it.

Regarding Lu Xi's questions, Big Sister Tiamat has always answered every question, and her suggestions on the situation are always right to the point.Lu Xi had never seen such an ambiguous attitude like this time since he knew him.And this also makes the secret hidden behind Sky City even more confusing.

In any case, it must not be easy for Big Sister Tiamat to lie and fool her.Moreover, even though he was unwilling to speak, he still gave a key reminder in the end.

【Blindly Obedient and Loyalty】...

Looking at the AI ​​girl Nova who has been honestly providing help within her ability since they set foot here, Lu Xi's eyes flashed with thought.

In the current situation, due to authority issues, we have no way to go to the Central Department for further investigation, and without further investigation, staying in the living area is just a waste of time.

Rather than that, it would be better——

"I said, why don't we leave here first and discuss it with the president?"

Putting the large shield in his hand back on his back, the pink-haired Cupid scratched his hair:

"Although we gained very little, we did not gain anything during this trip. After confirming the situation is safe, the guild's follow-up adventurers should conduct further investigations."

"Well……"

"—Your Excellency, visitor, are you leaving?"

Before anyone else could speak, Nova, who had always responded passively to questions, asked uncharacteristically:

"This is a question from the center: Excuse me, are you [sure] that you want to leave [No. 1 Sky City Osiris]?"

Different from the lively and lively tone before, Nova put away all the expressions on her face when she said this sentence, as delicate as a large human sculpture.Under the circumstances that everyone did not check, the huge circle of light outside the sky city slightly increased its brightness, as if it was activated by some kind of existence, it emitted bursts of scorching heat.

"You, why are you so active all of a sudden?"

Somewhat uncomfortable looking at Nova who put away her smile, Cupid, who felt chills in his heart for some reason, scratched his head hesitantly:

"I'm right, since we can't find any new clues here, why don't we—"

"—no, we're not going."

Before Cupid could do it, Lu Xi interrupted his speech:

"Instead of leaving, I have to make a proposal to you."

"proposal?"

Hearing Lu Xi's words, Nova's face instantly returned to the usual perfect smile:

"Of course. As long as it is a reasonable plan, Nova will do its best to help you realize it."

"Then, if a wise person doesn't speak secretly, let's speak directly."

With a very normal tone, Lu Xi naturally said a speech that shocked the audience:

"I have taken a fancy to your land, and I have the confidence to manage it well, so - do you lack a commander here? The living one?"

------------

"...Application? Commander?"

The plan proposed by Lu Xi was beyond imagination, and even Nova, who has amazing computing power, could not help but pause for a few seconds before answering:

“[Unrecorded event detected, start provisional response procedure]——Please add reasons and details related to the proposal from the visitor.”

After dealing with the guy in the system for a long time, our [communication with silicon-based life] skills are already full~

"There are a lot of reasons~"

Very familiar with the routine of dialogue with this kind of AI life, Lu Xi ran the train with his mouth full of no psychological pressure:

"Look, you also said just now that the last record left by a resident was 1 years ago. That is to say, apart from us, there are no intelligent life forms inside Osiris, right?"

Nova nodded dully: "Yes, you are right."

Lu Xi continued to follow the persuasion:

"Think about it from another angle. If there is no intelligent life form, the position of Osiris commander that needs to be held by humans should have been idle for a long time, right?"

Nova paused, and the blue and white data in her eyes fell like raindrops:

"Testing... Job title: The commander has not responded to the central call for 11449 years. According to the relevant agreement, those who have been absent from work for more than three months without reason and who have not responded to the central call for more than five years should be judged as legally dead. Processing—— Processing result: The former commander's position has been dismissed, and the current status of the commander's position: vacant."

Before Nova's words fell, there was a sudden violent tremor under the feet of Lu Xi and the others. Before they had any reaction, the big red warning sign instantly filled their field of vision:

【warn!warn!Job title: The position of commander is vacant, the No. 4006 deep protocol is activated, and the central management authority is urgently frozen. Please take up the new commander as soon as possible! 】

[Notice: The control of the entire system is offline, and Osiris has entered a low-power operation state! 】

[Warning: There are a lot of redundant files, Sky City Osiris cannot maintain automatic navigation! 】

[Calculation: Sky City Osiris crash, remaining: 87 hours, 42 minutes and 55 seconds. 】

——The unemotional mechanical broadcast sounded repeatedly, and with the broadcast, the originally brightly lit Sky City dimmed instantly, only a few emergency lights were still flickering uncomfortably.Although the slight sense of weightlessness was only transmitted for a moment, those who listened to the radio knew that if this continues, the crash of the Sky City, which has been hidden for thousands of years, is already an irreparable ending.

"As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king. Seeing the vacancy of the position of Commander Osiris, I am also very anxious!"

Not at all feeling that the current emergency situation is a psychological burden caused by himself, Lu Xi showed a sage face of worrying about the country and the people:

"If I'm not mistaken, in your order, there should be a rule similar to 'you can't handle all the affairs of Osiris privately without the presence of humans'?"

"...Yes, what you said is completely correct, honorable visitor. With the dismissal of the position of commander just now, the authority of the center has also been restricted to an unprecedentedly low level."

Seeing the big red screen with [Warning] crazily popping up beside her, a trace of shock flashed across the pretty face of the AI ​​girl for the first time: "It stands to reason that only the builders of the Floating Kingdom should be the ones who directly set the deep agreement for the center. I just realized, please allow Nova to make a shocked expression to express her admiration for you."

"So you see, whether it's from my point of view or from your point of view, the lack of a commander is a big deal."

The more she spoke, the more vigorous she was, Lu Xi covered her heart in pain:

"For us, Osiris cannot be further explored by us outsiders without a commander. As for you, since you have just dismissed the previous commander as stipulated, and according to the corresponding agreement, you now have no control over Osiris. The control right of him has also been greatly reduced—ah! There is such a thing!”

[Isn't it all because of what you said? ! 】

Fen Jin and the two foolishly looked at each other and covered each other's mouths in unison.

"..."

The upright AI girl didn't understand that she had just been tricked by the human in front of her. After checking her current authority, she was silent for a long time:

"What you said is absolutely correct. When the position of commander is vacant, the center only has the most basic authority to maintain the status quo. At present, Osiris has just emerged from the state of [DATA EXPUNGED]. In order to deal with possible dangers, a lot of work is required Decision-making. If there is no commander, Nova will also be quite embarrassed. In my behavior pattern, maintaining the normal operation of Osiris is the top priority, but right now Nova alone cannot solve the current predicament—[Desperate 】."

How dare you speak out about your predicament?

That's great, in the quagmire-like living environment of modern society, it's hard to find someone as pure as an AI girl who looks like a little white flower.

"—Look, you have a recruitment need, and I have an intention to apply."

Looking at the AI ​​girl Nova who was obviously limped in front of her, Lu Xi gave up her disguise and showed a sinister smile that looked like a fool (?):

"So, I, Lu Xi, hereby submit an application to the center to be a commander. Please reply from the center."

PS: Hello, what is the position you are applying for——ha! ?Chairman! ?

PS2: On the first day of May, Dazhang asks for tickets~

Chapter 162 Education, education!

After hearing Lu Xi's proposal, the AI ​​girl fell into a long silence.From the large amount of data constantly flashing around her, it is not difficult to see how much computing power the center needs to spend in order to deal with this event that has never been encountered before.

Looking at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, Lu Xi just wanted to show off his speaking skills with his teammates, but when he turned his head, he saw the scene where the four of them took a step back neatly except Yuxia:

"...What are you doing?"

"This, this..."

The smile on Zelika's face was a bit forced: "How should I say it? I never thought that Ruoweixi could destroy the psychological defense of others with just some indescribable words. It's so scary. I never thought about it, haha~ "

"indeed."

Strom nodded earnestly: "Brother Lu first confirmed the fact [there are no more humans in Osiris] from the previous conversation, and then proceeded step by step, following the other party's train of thought to induce him to dismiss the former commander's position. Finally, boldly reasoning, I have come to the dilemma that the other party is currently facing - one ring after another, even in the highest prison in the imperial capital, I may not have seen such a clever liar for a long time."

"Hey! I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Xi was unhappy when he heard this: "How can this be called a lie? Everything is based on Nova's logic?"

"Even so, but..."

Cupid scratched his head in confusion: "How do you know that as long as the position of commander is removed, Nova's authority will also be reduced?"

In the short confrontation just now, the most critical step Lu Xi took was to induce Nova to perform a self-examination and relieve the former commander from his position.But everyone came to this kind of place for the first time, why did Lu Xi know this rule like a prophet?

"It's very simple. It can be seen from the [authority classification] introduced by Nova just now. While giving this powerful alchemy life a second-level authority, the builder of Sky City also specially set up a higher level of [command authority] [official] authority - this obviously means to be on guard against alchemy life."

Lu Xi spread his hands: "According to this way of thinking, the builder will inevitably have to deal with the extreme situation of [all human beings are wiped out, and the center takes power]. And the most direct way is undoubtedly to lose the commander. Also deprive Nova of her own control authority."

It may be difficult to understand according to the thinking of people from another world, but on Earth, before AI has developed to a strong enough level, scientists have already set up a series of behavioral logics that AI must abide by in advance.The more intelligent life is, the more sensitive it is. Even in the face of their own creations, some people still maintain a defensive attitude.

As a result, what Lu Xi did was to guide Nova to pass the self-examination to find loopholes and relieve the former commander from the long-vacant position.He never stole or robbed, he was aboveboard, and he was not afraid of being sued wherever he went.

It's also thanks to the AI ​​girl's relatively rigid mind. If she were a real person, she would have been cursing and swearing since she was cheated like this.

"...But, Nova, will she really agree to Lu Xi's proposal?"

Nana looked at the radiant AI girl with some concern: "Although we were treated well by her, our identity is just [visitors]. Generally speaking, it is reasonable to let strange visitors sit in the position of the highest local commander. This should be unlikely to happen, right?"

"You can't say that, Nana."
