NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 259 Encrypted Coordinates

The boring maintenance work continues.

10H climbed up the stairs and saw the words "on the air" lit up.

This is the broadcasting room.

Broadcasts from human conferences will be forwarded through here.

It may be necessary to prevent the enemy from finding out the location of the lunar server from the source of the broadcast.

should be.

She has always believed so.

Today is not broadcast day yet!

She sighed in her heart.

After all, she was not allowed to enter the broadcasting room during the broadcast, so skipping this room meant that her free time would increase.

She dragged her heavy feet and walked slowly towards the white door of the broadcasting room.

There seemed to be two powerful voices in my ears.

This sound... is two men arguing.

The sound seemed to come from the broadcasting room.

who can that be?

This instantly aroused her curiosity. After all, the voice of auxiliary machine 006 was a sweet female voice, like a strict mother.

[Report: The broadcasting room does not need maintenance today.]

"Well……"

When she heard the auxiliary machine's words, she felt as if she had been pardoned, and her curiosity was instantly dispelled by joy.

It seems that today is my lucky day.

…………

It is 10:30 now.

“It’s so comfortable.”

10H yawned comfortably while moving the chess pieces.

After the regular morning rounds, there was nothing to do until lunch time.

After finishing what you have to do after lunch, you won’t have anything to do until after dinner.

In short, most of her day consists of 'leisure time'.

[Suggestion: Girls need to cover their mouths with their hands when yawning. ]

"why?"

[Answer: Otherwise it will appear to be without temperament. ]

"Who said that?"

[Answer: Humans said so.]

In this facility, all the 006 auxiliaries were very idle and talkative. She clearly remembered that the auxiliaries of other YoRHa models were more business-like and less talkative.

But apart from myself, there are no permanent androids here, so the only auxiliary machines are these long-winded 006s.

Normally, auxiliary machines are grouped in three, but the 006 here is a dedicated auxiliary machine, with hundreds of them stationed on site.

After all, maintaining this facility requires a huge number of people.

Moreover, Assist 006 has only one self, and hundreds of Assists are all '006' himself, so this is not a problem for the Assists.

As an android, 10H couldn't understand this feeling.

It seemed like someone had once told her about the mysterious term "incarnation".

I forgot who it was. But it doesn't matter.

"Ah! Pause, that move doesn't count!"

Her little head was thinking about other interesting things, which resulted in one of her chess pieces being eaten.

[Rejection: This is the thirteenth time. Didn’t I just tell you not to do this next time?]

"Just this once! Today is only the tenth day..." Uh...

【Suggestion: Don’t be lazy. 】

"But my AI is not designed for chess, let alone chess. Let's try again, okay..."

【Rejection: No! 】

Sparks sizzled from the front end of the auxiliary machine's mechanical arm.

"I know, I know, I know! We are against violence!"

【Understand: Just know. 】

The auxiliary machine used its small arms to move the phase and ate up the car blocking the middle of the road.

10H tried hard to control the corners of her mouth so as not to laugh out loud.

"It's my turn, right?"

【Affirmation: Please move. 】

"Your veteran has been eaten by me!"

[Proposal: Pause! What just happened doesn't count! ]

"no!"

Like 006H, 10 does not have an AI specifically designed for playing chess. It is not suitable for thinking about complex things because it is of no help in performing tasks.

10H gently pokes the chess pieces on the board, which, like the soles of shoes, are made of magnets.

"What's the point of AI playing a game they're not good at?"

【Speculation: Very free? 】

"I'm quite free. But is it necessary to play only this kind of game to kill time?"

[Answer: It is not good for a villain to stay idle.]

"I know, I know. Doesn't this sentence mean that when people are bored, they will want to do bad things, so we need to kill time to avoid being restless or something like that?"

[Question: Why are you still asking? ]

"I have also heard a saying that the most interesting things in the world are

Including poetry, wine, philosophy, love,

Often useless.

Chanting useless poems,

Drunk on useless wine,

Reading useless books,

The feeling of useless bells,

Finally became a useless person,

But I live a fulfilling life because of it.”

【Agree: There is nothing wrong with this sentence. But, what is your question? 】

“Anything else fun?”

[Answer: No.]

"Then continue."

【Agree: Then...】

Bang~~~

10H immediately moved her cannon and ate the opponent's general. Sparks came out from the front of the auxiliary machine's arm, probably meaning it was depressed.

"But why are you so idle?"

[Answer: It’s good to be idle, which means the enemy has not attacked. ]

"That's right—the mechanical creatures can't find this place at all.

If the enemy attacks the seabed at a depth of 10,000 meters, we will be dead.

So, let me ask you, should we deploy Type B that is good at fighting? Or should we deploy Type B that is good at defending mechanical creatures? "

[Negative: Type B and Type D cannot be maintained, inspected, or repaired.]

"So, scan the S-type?"

[Negative: S-type lacks patience and cannot stand boring time. ]

Even if I spend very little time working and have a lot of free time, I won't feel miserable.

In this kind of thing, I, an H-type person, am indeed the most suitable.

"Ah—can I take it that you are complimenting me?"

【Affirmation: Yes.】

"Can your auxiliary machines fight autonomously? I've noticed that you have plasma emitters and laser prisms installed inside your bodies. Come to think of it, I've never seen you fight before."

[Answer: Yes. But I don’t usually use it.]

"That's it, then I'll be relieved."

Hundreds of auxiliary machines combined together form a considerable force.

"Uh~ the next step is..."

When 10H was about to move the chess piece, he found that his finger joints were not functioning properly and he flipped the chessboard over.

But the chess piece is still firmly attached to the chessboard.

"This finger... why won't I obey? Why can't I control my hand?"

Maybe there's damage inside as well.

"I'll go fix it."

[Not recommended: There is no stock of fingers, and you need to wait for the next supply. ]

"This is too long to wait. I'll go see if I can fix it by adjusting the program."

【Today's game ends here. 】

Pod 006 begins to put away the chessboard, and 10H returns to her room.

……

11:30.

It may be easy to use by adjusting the grip and movable area.

The force is not right.

Try not to touch the touch screen lately, or you might accidentally make a hole.

10H uses a simple program to hack into her own brain and investigate the finger control program of the NFCS system.

It's been a while since I did this kind of H-type work.

The process of adjusting the neural transmission algorithm is not very optimistic.

The force is uncontrollable.

Hopefully it can hold out until the next resupply, the hardware is too badly damaged and will require a special connection tool.

Let's just leave it this way for now, I'm pretty free anyway.

Suddenly, she found a strange storage block in the data space that required a password.

Who did this?

This kind of thing is either done by the S type or the H type.

Then, it seems that I am alone.

Although auxiliary machines can do this, they will leave records and resumes.

This practice of writing, rewriting and deleting data in blank areas is very troublesome.

Everyone except yourself leaves a trace.

I did it myself, right?

I have no impression. Maybe I’m just too idle, so idle that I’m almost going stupid.

She skillfully entered a line of password and tried to crack it.

And I wish I could have the analytical ability of the S-type. Then, I can easily crack anything.

However, the password was cracked in an instant.

"Ah—I did it myself after all."

After all, I can't remember too many passwords, so I usually only have one, which I use in all occasions where a password is required.

She stared at the cracked block, which only showed one coordinate, which was in the facility.

It is usually a restricted area.

"Mo Mingqi Miao..."

Out of curiosity, she planned to head to the area indicated by the coordinates.
