――AD.2159.6.24――
Planet Akuz, underground mineral veins.
Boom, boom, boom.
A small animal that looks like a groundhog is holding a "pine cone" and knocking on the iron ore persistently.
[Error: Wake-up failed.]
The "ore" it struck suddenly lit up.
Boom, boom, boom.
[Error: Wake-up failed.]
Snap——
The woodchuck slipped his hand and smashed the pinecone to pieces.
[Login: F13 attack robot trial version.]
Crash--
The iron ore vein, which was not strong in the first place, instantly fell apart, and then a strange humanoid machine rolled out of the state of being buried in the vein. It was covered with rust and burn marks, and rolled on the ground in a mess.
After a few laps, I struggled to stand up again.
It has jointed limbs that imitate mammals, and its standing posture is pretty standard, but the position of its head is a large searchlight that flashes blue and red.
The groundhog seemed frightened and turned around and fled the scene quickly.
Creak - woo~
The humanoid machine turned the searchlight and seemed to be observing the surrounding environment.
This is the place occupied by the ore vein it just rolled out of. It is a corridor-shaped space with almost no light, but the faint red light emitted by the iron ore vein makes it somewhat weird.
Woowa~burp~
The humanoid machine tilted its head in confusion, as if it didn't understand why it appeared in such a place. Then, it looked at both ends of the mineral vein, and finally chose a direction and started moving forward.
Creaking, clicking, the tunnel of the mine is very uneven, and the humanoid machine is a little deep and shallow when moving forward, but the body always maintains balance.
Zhiji?
The prairie dog seemed to be very curious about the humanoid machine. It came out of the corner, stared at its back for a while, and then chased after it with its short legs.
————
[Current goal: Destroy the ‘Recorded Horizon’ research station. 】
In the "eye" of the humanoid machine, there is a red octahedron, which is a rhombus that is symmetrical up and down. However, it is located very far above the top of its head. Unless it can drill holes, it cannot walk in a straight line.
And this "mission target" seems to be very aware of this. From time to time, a green arrow flies out in the direction of the humanoid machine. After these illusory arrows fly out, they continue to move forward in the maze-like mineral vein corridor.
, turn and disappear, guiding the direction of the humanoid machinery.
The humanoid mechanical "eyes" kept flashing, always moving forward according to the instructions of these arrows, seemingly without any purpose of its own.
Zhiji~zhiji~
Since the humanoid machine always maintained a constant speed, the prairie dog chasing behind it successfully caught up, crawled along its feet, legs and back to its shoulders, and seemed to lie down there very proudly.
The humanoid machine turned its head and glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to move in the direction indicated by the "arrow".
Click, click, click.
The humanoid machine that had been moving forward in a daze suddenly stopped at a corner, turned its head and looked at the mineral vein.
The prairie dog, which almost fell over, barked twice angrily and turned its head to see what the humanoid machine saw.
It was three lines of very scrawled handwriting, which read:
[The great Nyarlathotep came here with his big eyes and the yellow-robed monster~]
【You are looking for death! You idiot!】
[I was completely devastated when I saw these two lines of text after the fight was over.]
Chichi~ The groundhog sat down on the humanoid robot's shoulder again in a bored manner.
Kick-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz
The humanoid machine suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and the scene in its "eyes" suddenly changed. It was an extremely huge and empty underground space, with countless of its kind and even bigger, dragon-like large machines attacking three
A situation in which a short, upright creature attacks.
According to its combat simulation program, those three tiny creatures would be torn into pieces in an instant.
The next moment, the illusion of a mountain as huge as mud covered in an earthy yellow coat, a star emitting blazing light, and an indescribable monster with huge tentacles swinging above its head flashed past.
All the machinery has turned into molten iron that has completely melted and is slowly solidifying, that is, the "iron ore vein" around it.
[Current goal: Destroy the ‘Recorded Horizon’ research station. 】
【Dangmu: Destroy the station.】
【】
Target information, location signs and direction arrows disappeared instantly.
The humanoid machine that has lost its target still follows its original route, but it can only go as far as the location where the green arrow last appeared.
It was an intersection with three forks, and the humanoid machine without a map had no way of knowing which direction to go.
At this time, new target information appears:
[Confirmation: The ghost signal has awakened.]
[Adaptation: Continue to perform the original body's tasks.]
[Error: The original body has no mission.]
The new information seems stronger than the previous one, but also confusing.
Zhizhizhi—buzz!
At this moment, the three-way intersection in front suddenly disappeared, replaced by an upright creature with blue skin.
"Don't move!" "Hands up!" Two other upright creatures wearing armor rushed over with weapons raised.
"I am an Asari——" The upright blue-skinned creature raised its upper limbs.
[Goal: Join them.]
The humanoid machine touched the marmot on its shoulder and walked over.
