Machine War: Infinite Frontier

For several days, Xiao Yun went around like crazy and committed crimes, making everyone in the city panic. He also succeeded in turning a penniless outsider into a rich man with tens of millions of cash. Even the governor was gone. The Governor's Palace could not escape his patronage.

An urban ghost story began to appear in people's conversations, depicting a ghost with an extreme preference for cash and gold that would come every night, with red eyes, a greedy and terrifying face, and an invisible man who would eat crazily. Get rid of all the people who carry cash, and suddenly there are very few people who store cash at home, and even fewer people go out at night.

The police in the city made various arrangements to place guards, but in the end they didn't even notice a shadow. As a result, they were being robbed here and there. They ran here and there but found nothing. After a busy job, people who deserved to be stolen were still stolen. Even They even put on a special show and got a large sum of cash to be placed in a wealthy family's house.

As a result, no one came to the carefully arranged trap for several days. The police chief was so angry that he almost pulled out his hair. After transporting the money back to the bank, one bag was missing during the count, which made the person in charge directly He vomited blood and was admitted to the hospital. Such strange stories immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city at an even faster speed.

On another level, some people are also feeling exhausted mentally and physically due to the current situation. The presence of a strange thief in the city is just a small matter, but its appearance at such a critical node also puts more burdens on the shoulders of this group of people. pressure.

Just a few days ago, during the encirclement and suppression of the ELEVEN Revolutionary Army, their governor, Clovis LA Britannia, the third prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, was assassinated. This incident is still still Not a single clue was found, and there was an undercurrent surging among the top management of District 11. Everyone was in danger, but they didn't expect that there would be such a weird talk about a thief.

And the most outrageous thing is that the mansion of the noble Governor Clovis was also robbed. This made the pure-blood Earl Jeremiah Goldbard, the border Earl who now controls all the situation, extremely angry. He was in a hurry. Controlling the situation in District 11, he started an internal investigation while looking for the prisoner who killed the governor, and at the same time wanted to catch the damn thief.

But at this time, Xiao Yun had already moved into the city with C.C and Gouzi, and rented a very nice house with a lot of money. The three-story building has an independent courtyard. C.C also transformed into a half-man. She was forced to wear a maid uniform and became the only servant in this small building.

The sun was in the sky, the weather was clear, and the sound of quarrels appeared in Xiao Yun's new foothold.

"don't want!"

"No, it must be done!"

"I have promised to be a maid to take care of your life while you stay in this world, but I have not promised to let you do such an excessive thing."

"This is not too much at all. As a maid, you should listen to your master's opinions and do whatever you are told. I tell you, it will be useless even if you tear your throat. You have to do this thing today whether you do it or not. You have no choice. If you resist again, I’ll be tough.”

Xiao Yun held hair dyes of various colors in his hands and forced C.C down on the chair. He said earnestly: "Your green hair is too conspicuous. There are only two of us in the house. Who else can go out to buy groceries?" , Of course it’s just you. Our situation is too special to hire a new maid from outside, so you can just dye your hair obediently.”

"Dye it to change the color, life, and style. How about black, which reveals simplicity in the ordinary, and nobility in simplicity? Red, passionate and hot, or white, pure and cold."

C.C was making a final struggle: "It's useless. Even if it is dyed in other colors, it will become the same in a short time. Even if we can't buy food, we can still call and order takeout. The takeout is also delicious."

"Takeout is not hygienic, and eating pizza every day is not good. If the color fades, then dye it again." Xiao Yun pressed C.C's shoulder and said: "Don't think I don't know that the old scars on your body have faded in the past few days. No, that’s the effect of the nanorobot I injected. It’s just because of your own self-healing ability that the effect of the nanorobot is more than a hundred times greater than the original. Isn’t your body smooth and tender now? ”

C.C stared at Xiao Yun behind her from the mirror in front of her with wide eyes. She covered her chest with a face full of incomprehension and disbelief: "Are you peeking at me!? Is it while taking a shower or changing clothes!"

"I'm not peeking, I'm observing. It's my responsibility to see if you understand or not. It's my responsibility to pay attention to your situation at all times." Xiao Yun patted C.C's head and said angrily: "Even if you have long legs, you still have C I’m not interested either, everyone who wants to marry me has to queue up now, I won’t be bored enough to attack my long-term servant.”

"In short, the current situation is still affected by external conditions. How can it be possible for your hair to return to its original look in a few days after dyeing it? And just in case, I bought high-end products that last the longest and have the best dyeing effect. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yun squeezed the hair dye onto C.C's head and spread it on with gloved hands.

C.C took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. At this time, C.C had no intention of teasing Xiao Yun at all. She had long seen that Xiao Yun was definitely someone she dared to tell. Then Xiao Yun would definitely do it. Someone who can do it.

If she made a sarcastic comment, such as asking you to be called when she takes a shower and changes clothes next time, Xiao Yun would definitely stand next to her while she changes clothes and takes a shower, but if it were Lelouch, he would probably Will run away and ignore the call.

There is no point in sarcasm and complaints with people like Xiao Yun. He just asked lightly: "You just said that the dyeing effect is the best and lasts the longest. Is it true?"

Xiao Yun was having fun: "Of course, if the bastard who sold me something dares to lie to me, I will send him to feed the fish."

"Very good." C.C kicked her legs hard and stood up. After looking in the right direction, she hit Xiao Yun's face with her head, preparing to make a sudden attack on Xiao Yun, and at the same time, let this black-hearted person have no bottom line. The bastard also changes color.

But C.C still overestimated her ability. As soon as she raised her buttocks, she sat back down again. It felt like there was steel on her shoulders, preventing her from moving, and she didn't even have a chance to resist.

Xiao Yunyun said calmly: "Don't be stupid, I am a qualified warrior who has gone through the most rigorous training. With your lithe little body, I can hold you down with just one hand, and with your little eyes, I can't move you." How can I not tell that I am the only one who makes fun of others in this world?"

"If you keep being naughty, believe it or not, I'll dye you a colorful black so you can show off."

C.C suddenly began to feel sulky, gritting his teeth in hatred and making a crunching sound.

"Stop biting, be careful of breaking your teeth." Xiao Yun patted C.C's head again and said, "I ordered pizza and drinks for you, your favorite flavor."

"Oh." C.C's expression changed instantly, and she said honestly and calmly, and then said: "Then hurry up."

Xiao Yun curled his lips: "This fool."

After dyeing his hair, Xiao Yun found a hat for C.C to put on his head. After that, he and C.C went to the living room on the first floor to eat and watch TV together.

As soon as the TV was turned on, there was emergency news. All the channels that could be received were playing the same emergency news scene, talking about the assassination of a certain unlucky prince and governor. After a few days of delay, the matter was finally resolved. It was announced, and at the same time, the news also stated that the assassin, the honorary Britalia ELEVEN Suzaku, had been caught.

C.C didn't care about what was going on in the news. He just glanced at the Suzaku that appeared on the TV screen. After a pause, he focused his attention elsewhere again. Xiao Yun's helmet was placed on the table at this time. After stepping out of the virtual screen, C.C was more interested in some records about other worlds projected by VT than what was reported in the news, but Xiao Yun was a little bit interested in reading them.

The two of them were watching their own affairs. It wasn't until the news host said that Shu Mu Zhuque would be escorted to trial tomorrow and that he would continue to pay attention to it and introduced the dead prince again, Xiao Yun felt bored and turned off the news. television.

After the news stopped in her ears, C.C also raised his head and glanced at Xiao Yun: "Are you very concerned about this matter?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "Not really, I just want to know what will happen next."

C.C thought for a while and said: "I understand, you are wondering why the strange thief didn't appear in the news. You are really narcissistic."

Xiao Yun sneered: "Oh, you should be more grateful to this weird thief, otherwise you wouldn't have new clothes to wear and eat so much pizza."

"That's why I should thank him." C.C nodded with a serious expression: "Thank him for letting me become a maid and dyeing my hair."

"You're welcome."

C.C looked at the screen projected on the helmet again and asked: "Is the technological level of World 0 particularly advanced? What does the planet outside look like? Is there anything interesting in the universe?"

"There is nothing interesting. All you can see when sailing in the universe is nothingness. It may be shocking and mysterious to people who have never seen it, but in fact, that's it. You have to wait and see if you are interested. Once you get there, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to travel around in a spaceship. After all, there’s no such thing as a completely peaceful place in any world.”

C.C was a little curious: "What about gods? Does that kind of thing exist?"

"No?" Xiao Yun shook his head and said: "At least from what I know, there is no such thing in the area where humans have set foot now. We have not even encountered a civilization in the true sense. We only found Pass through what is suspected to be a remnant of a super-ancient civilization, which is the door I mentioned to you."

"Is that so..." C.C nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is a world without God."

Xiao Yun said: "God? I have never seen any gods. I have only seen life that does not exist on earth. World No. 1 has a whale with wings, World No. 2 has a kind of metallic life form, and as for World No. 0, then What’s more, many habitable planets have many species of life that don’t even exist on Earth.”

"If I have to talk about gods, I think gods may be more like some kind of race that controls a higher level of high-tech civilization, or they are individual lives that control powerful power. For backward and weak civilizations, these existences are not like I’m like a god, and to some people I can be called a god.”

C.C shouted expressionlessly: "Huh, you? God?"

"Don't believe it?" Xiao Yun looked at C.C and said: "Although I don't have abilities similar to yours, and I didn't have such a thing as GEASS before I met you, I don't need to use other things to open the door to different places. The gate of the world, isn’t this kind of ability comparable to that of God?”

"Using technology, I can also achieve immortality. Like you, my appearance will remain unchanged for hundreds of years. I can also recover quickly after being injured. Although I don't know what the origin of the so-called GEASS or CODE is, nor I know what your situation is, but through technology I can also create an individual similar to you."

"Immortality, immortality, and special abilities." Xiao Yun also showed a thoughtful expression when he said this: "The two abilities of CODE and GEASS are more like the permission unlocking of some special system. In World No. 2 There is something similar there.”

"A super quantum computer called VEDA controls countless specially created artificial humans, these artificial humans are called quasi-reformers..."

"I know." C.C pointed to the helmet on the table and said: "This helmet called VT has played something about pseudo-revolutionaries. So what you are saying is that the human beings in our world are essentially the same as that kind of pseudo-changers. Are the change makers the same thing?”

"It's very similar, isn't it." Xiao Yun smiled and said: "But there must be many differences. Aren't those who want to change a copy of your current situation? And those who want to change also have A person with special permissions that allows him to activate the special abilities of other would-be revolutionaries.”

"Yeah, it's very similar."

Xiao Yundao: "However, the abilities of the pseudo-reformers are based on external manifestations, while the abilities of GEASS and CODE are mainly reflected in the spiritual aspect. Even outsiders like me were affected after coming to this world and included me. Among them, otherwise I will definitely not be able to get GEASS from you."

"I don't know how to describe it. Although I am not a technical person, I know very well that a civilization that can do this kind of thing must be a very high-level super civilization. If you think about it... this I’m afraid there are also very dangerous things in the world.”

"And it is true that some things cannot be easily explained by science with my current knowledge. If Aeolia is here, I might be able to study something."

C.C was a little confused: "Aeolia? Who is this?"

"The super genius who dominates everything in World No. 2 is also the true master of all those who want to change." (End of this chapter)
