Crashing, but behind the spirit simulator

"Well...precious is precious—but since you are so rich, why don't you give us free?" Bianca said bluntly.

"Eh? Hahahaha—you guys are really interesting!"

Thales smiled while pressing his hand on the robot, and at the same time, three coins were thrown into it.

"Miss Thales, a special researcher of the Great Library, welcome to use the lighthouse guide system."

"Eh?"

"Well, I thought about it, you need a guide, but you don't want to be cheated; I want to talk to you, but you don't know me well-this matter has nothing to do with whether you hire me, so I just jump out of this Contradictions—in this way, aren’t the goals of each other achieved?”

[Under the guidance of the robot, you start the tour of the city]

【Along the way, Thales chatted with you with some obscure philosophical questions】

[Although Thales is very kind, even Rita can only listen to her philosophical thoughts and problems in a foggy manner. However, for you who have a little bit of philosophical background, it feels a little bit analogous]

【Philosophy lv1→lv3】

"..."

Oh, the system didn't prompt, I forgot that I had learned philosophy from Schrödinger.

But does this useless skill do anything other than make him a Riddler?

[At the same time, you know from Thales that there is a place called "Slave Market" in this city]

[Anyone who goes bankrupt in this city will become a public contract slave, and there is no prison, no death penalty in this city, only "confiscation of property" and "segregated exile"]

【——This is a barbaric and ruthless commercial capital】

[Afterwards, you visited the big library where Thales worked. In this library, there are everything from all kinds of materials that are on the verge of being lost to "Humu's Adventure" or "Humu's Three Kingdoms"]

...Hoom is a thing that needs to be used to show its presence wherever it goes, right?

By the way, the unique unit of the Honkai World, Hongwa, is actually Houmuwa...

"Hey! Miss Bianca! Miss Rita! And the first mate and bosun in the iron mask!"

While everyone was visiting the library, the white-haired pilot Manfred rushed over eagerly.

"Jimmy, Jimmy..."

"What's the matter?" Bianca reached out to support the panting pilot, "Tell me slowly, did something happen?"

"Huhu..." Manfred took a few breaths, "Jimmy, Jimmy is missing."

"Eh?"

This news surprised everyone.

"Manfred, please explain carefully." Schrödinger's tone became serious

"Okay, okay." Manfred nodded, "After we landed, the two of us had already negotiated. We came to the library to check the information about the plane. Jimmy and I kept coming in through the lobby passage without stopping. Walked all the way to the Postmodern Science Archive."

"There may be knowledge that we haven't fully grasped." Thales introduced, and then continued to listen to Manfred's narration.

"Well, that's it. Jimmy and I searched for the information separately. After about 10 minutes, I found the corresponding information. When I went back to Jimmy, I couldn't find it at all. What's worse, I found it in one place. I got the smell of drugs—if I wasn’t a professional soldier, I’d probably be caught too.”

Manfred patted his chest with some fear.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other with a bad feeling.

This is clearly abduction!

"Let's go! Take us to the place where there is still ** - no, no! Broadcast to find someone! Immediately block the gate and screen layer by layer! Who else knows about medicine, follow Manfred to investigate!"

At this moment, Bianca didn't need anyone to remind her, she showed a strong determination.

"Eh... this?" Thales was a little frightened by Bianca's chilling aura.

——Being able to be promoted to A-rank Valkyrie, the Honkai beasts killed by Bianca are by no means rare, otherwise, even if she has a special status, she would not be promoted so quickly.

"Didn't you say that this city is full of evil deeds of human trafficking! The drugs have been released, and you can say that he got lost by himself!? This is clearly an extremely vicious abduction! It's a kidnapping!"

"...I admit that your 'worst case scenario' is not impossible."

Thales nodded, agreeing with Bianca's statement.

"Broadcasting does not require any procedures to find someone, but the latter two measures...are acts that seriously disrupt the order in the museum, and need to be personally ordered by the curator before they can be implemented."

"Then let's go to the curator! Rita! Go and seal the door for me! The first mate and Miss Leila seal the other exits—if there are any!"

"I remember this library has a back door."

Schrödinger nodded.

"Then I'll go to the rooftop." Leila also accepted the task.

But in this way, there is no one who can identify the potion with Manfred—even though everyone present has no research on the potion.

"Then I will continue to search... Although I am not an agent, I still have some basic qualities."

After the task was assigned, Bianca immediately chose to go to the curator.

"Calm down!" Thales shouted, "I understand your feelings, but you seem to be here to find fault! Calm down, our curator is a good talker! Skipping the necessary steps will only cause trouble for yourself." trouble!"

"Finding faults?" Leila, who was about to go upstairs, smiled, "Strictly speaking, we are pirates—do we need our Caledonia to raise the pirate flag?"

Layla, who's been with Jimmy the longest, is the angriest of them all.

"..."

Thales stopped talking now.

The force of this city of commerce...although it is not weak, it is not so strong that it explodes, nor is it invincible. The merchants in charge of the city believe that as long as the pirates are willing to collect protection money, then everyone can sit down and talk.

What's more, the city was ruled by pirates for a long time, but later the common people... It should be said that the "pirate commoners" overthrew the "pirate nobles", which had nothing to do with the original commoners. Evolution has become like this.

Therefore, although the city's strength is not bad, its Wude is not abundant.

That's why Thales, who was familiar with the city's history, chose to remain silent after hearing Leila's half-threatening words.

Chapter 95 Being Both a Perpetrator and a Victim

咚咚

"Please come in."

Following the female voice from behind the door, Thales and Bianca pushed the door in, and then, Thales took a deep breath: "Curator, we just issued a missing person notice - you must have heard it, we Ran almost every possible place, but found nothing."

"Hmm... Thales, you're saying someone has disappeared from our library—and there's no trace left?"

The silver-haired female artist frowned.

"Yes, on the way, I checked the surveillance video at the entrance and exit with the quick search program, and found no suspicious whereabouts." Thales nodded, "Maybe we should also install some surveillance indoors... In short, I think it is necessary to block the entire Museum, search."

"Huh? Is it necessary to do this to this extent?"

The curator lady with silver hair showed an incomprehensible expression.

Thales showed a helpless wry smile when he heard the words: "...Because this lady's companion has substantially blocked the library, and if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause long-lost conflicts between the city and the pirates. "

"Pirates... well, after all, it is true that people who appeared in our museum disappeared, and conflicts with pirates are not what we want - there is no need to turn a disappearance into a large-scale violent conflict, is there?"

Thales easily convinced the curator lady.

"From now on, the library will be temporarily closed for two hours - all personnel need to enter and exit..."

"My inspection." Bianca answered.

"...Well, everything needs to be checked by this lady. During this period, all the staff and robots in the museum will assist you in finding the missing person—what is this lady called?"

"My name is Bianca, Bianca Atagena, A-rank Valkyrie."

The other party's treatment melted the cold look on Bianca's face a lot.

"Director of the Library, Caterina Michelangelo Buonarroti—just call me Michelangelo."

Bianca showed a look of surprise—it was only then that she discovered that the curator's room was actually a studio.

Michelangelo turned to look at Thales: "Invite that detective consultant too, this case can't be delayed any longer, we must solve it."

……

With the assistance of the library staff and a large number of robots, the pressure on Bianca and his party was instantly reduced. At the same time, the search efficiency was also greatly improved, so that Bianca even had time to chat with the curator.

No, it's not just chatting, at least Bianca is observing the curator in front of her.

After all, no one can say whether the curator will do something small.

Besides Michelangelo, the curator, there is another person here.

"...Is it really good to let that guy just stare blankly?"

"It's not in a daze, she's just thinking." Michelangelo seemed to look helplessly at the woman sitting beside her.

A woman with black hair who is not Egyptian but unexpectedly has an Egyptian style is sitting on a chair, meditating in a Sherlock Holmes-like sitting posture.

"...So, who is this guy?"

"My name is the detective brought by Thales." Michelangelo said as a matter of course.

"I'm an archaeologist who works part-time as a detective." The woman sitting beside her thoughtfully said slowly, "My name is Jeanne-François Champollion."

"French historian, linguist, Egyptologist."

Liu Bai gave a brief introduction—this person is considered very unpopular in the eyes of non-professionals.

However, Liu Bai felt that if the Jackal took off his mask, he might feel very much like this historian.

After all, the Egyptian style of the two is really similar.

"Let's talk about the conclusion first." Champollion stood up, "Your companion should have been transported out—if you want to hear the reason, I can explain it to you slowly."

"...No, time is running out, please make your words clearer." Although Bianca was confused, she didn't retort immediately, "Obviously we locked down the library early in the morning, so it is impossible for him to be stuffed into the suitcase." They were transported out of similar items, and no one with similar suspicions was found in the surveillance.”

"Who said you need to use a suitcase - aren't those robots the best means of transporting people? I remember that most of the components in the stomachs of these robots are responsible for the 'automatic' function?"

"...This." Thales fell into deep thought, "If you remove those components and switch to the remote control mode... it can indeed accommodate the next person."

"I remember that every robot has a 'heart' that constantly reports its location to the city center—this is obviously a major obstacle to crime." Champollion said calmly, "Then, as long as the city center and the library access Comparing the number of robots..."

"Dr. Champollion! The results are in! Three more robots have left the library than recorded!"

Coincidentally, a staff member brought the results just at this time.

"Well... In this case, although it is still a needle in a haystack, it is obviously much simpler."

【With the help of Champollion, you successfully found the clue】

[And with the help of Champollion's dog-like assistant, you start to approach each other's stronghold step by step]

[But your luck is really not good - your destination seems to be under this sulfur lake, but you have no equipment such as gas masks and oxygen cylinders, so in desperation, you can only entrust Champollion's assistant back to pick up]

[On the other side, Schrödinger and Shakespeare took Rita to a meeting between artists in the city. 】

[Schrödinger held Ulandal, discussed the Philosopher's Stone to the president of the city, and told him the story about the holy sword Urandel]

[——Schrödinger revealed the truth about this commercial capital full of high-end robots]

[Facts have proved that your initial feeling was not wrong. The actual technological level of this city has only reached the level of 'internal combustion engine'. No matter from various perspectives, robots are not items that should appear in this city]

[In other words - the source of robot power in this city is the "sanity crystallization" of one of the powers of the holy sword]

[Led by the chairman Shelley, you visited their computer room - in your opinion, it is like garbage protection, not even a decent firewall, as long as you want, you can even directly control the robots in this city . 】

[However, it seems that you don't need to control it anymore]

【——The robots in this city rioted】

[Remember, Bianca once asked Schrödinger, what if the robot suddenly lost control? 】

[As Schrödinger said - the city was instantly paralyzed]

[Look, the musket that appeared in the first act successfully fired in the third act—although this is not good news]

[Of course, luckily, this isn’t some kind of omnic crisis—it’s just a very primitive information war of pecking at each other. 】

[You and Schrödinger forcibly hibernated all the robots in this city]

[Afterwards, President Shelley chose to take you to the storage point of the Gem of Sanity—a rocket launch station]
