"[Oh! I think I haven't introduced myself yet,]" the little robot whose name was displayed as "Watson" faced Sherlock with his hands on his hips: "[I am the last member of the 'Claptrap' series of auxiliary robots.
The name of the production machine is 'John H. Watson', and I allow you to call me 'Watson', subordinate.】"
"..." Because there were too many things to ask, the words went around his mouth several times before Sherlock finally asked: "Subordinate?"
"[Of course, subordinate!]" Watson pointed to the sky: "[This is Pandora's garbage dump, Jotunheim. If I hadn't picked you up, you would have turned into an 'Icy Ape'
food, so you are already my 'Watson' subordinate!】"
Along with Watson's explanation, the map name appeared on the "Universal Tools Interface" in front of Sherlock just like in the "Mass Effect" game:
【Jotunheim】
"Okay," Sherlock shrugged: "'Boss'."
"[Ah hahaha! I have the first subordinates,]" Watson turned his body with a single wheel, waving a thin robotic arm and starting to dance strange mechanical dance: "
It would be very interesting if I could record it and send it to him when I get back.
Sherlock began to search for various settings on the interface, but could not find the recording function.
"[Okay, come with me, subordinate, we have to get out of here,]" Watson finished a dance and walked towards the snow curtain while waving his arms: "['Handsome Jack'! You
Dead!】"
……who?
Sherlock walked to keep up with Watson while trying to reason based on the information he had obtained so far.
Obviously, there was some kind of problem on the field, which may be related to the "black meteors" he saw. Except for Watson, who turned into a robot, most of the other players also turned into strange things, and the current purpose
It should be to defeat the man with the strange name.
And combined with my own physique that falls into the subspace from time to time, this is probably a third-party zone where Odin, White Star and Ion Shark can't interfere. There are more people who encounter the Galaxy Train than the three of them who come to the rescue.
The probability is high.
Now Watson lets himself follow him, which looks like the main line guiding the commander's actions in "Mass Effect", but in this case, the mission prompt is...
[Current mission: Follow Watson to the hideout. 】
……where?
Are the functions of your all-purpose tool gradually unlocked?
Sherlock glanced at the mission guidance that appeared on the retina UI, spread his hands, and stepped to follow Watson.
Speaking of which... "Mass Effect" itself has a linear structure. You can't go to the map of the next chapter without completing the previous chapter. But that's not the case here. Maybe you can try the mission of climbing over walls and jumping over walls?
[Hello, Mr. ‘Vault Hunter’ Sherlock Holmes.]
"..." Sherlock paused and looked up at the upper center of his field of vision. The panel used for remote communication in "Mass Effect" appeared there. Originally, what appeared there in the game was usually to advance the plot.
Various conversations with NPCs, but now there was a pale blue translucent face that he seemed familiar with - the Normandy's artificial intelligence, EDI.
[Please follow that little robot,] the woman who looked like Yin Di said: [It is the key to defeating the ‘Laughing Bat’. 】
"Who are you?" Sherlock asked.
[I am ‘Angel’,] the woman replied: [Maybe you don’t want to believe in an AI that can cut into all-purpose tools at any time, but I will prove to you in the future that I am on the same side as you. ]
"I want to prove it now." Sherlock asked.
"Angel" did not respond, and the communication interface disappeared directly.
She is not a player she knows, in other words, is she an "NPC" in this strange world?
"[Hey! Subordinate! Who are you talking to?]" Ahead, Watson had already stopped at the door of a cave dwelling that looked like it was made of various discarded machine parts under the ice wall, jumping up and waving to him.
.
"Do you know an AI who calls himself 'Angel'?" Sherlock replied while looking at the strange mechanical cave.
"[What? Angel?]" Watson was stunned for two seconds, then put his hands on his hips and raised his chest: "[Yes, I am an angel! You are very discerning, my subordinate.]"
"..." I really want to record it.
"[In view of your flattery, I have decided to move your subordinates up one spot! It is now No. 9527!]" Watson yelled, turning back and pointing his big, round eye at the door of the cave dwelling as if to identify himself.
The certified surveillance camera shouted: "[Open the door!]"
So there are nearly 10,000 subordinates in front...
Sherlock originally wanted to make fun of him, but as the iron door of the cave opened and the environment inside came into view, he couldn't help but swallow back the words he was about to say.
Inside the cave are several normal-looking compartments. Although all kinds of furniture and furnishings are shabby, they are all available. The users of these rooms are silent, swaying inverted triangle-shaped individuals with different paintings.
Wheel robot.
"[Due to disobedience, the 'Laughing Bat' ordered the destruction of all 'Little Noisy' series robots, but we successfully escaped. Even if we had to shut down due to lack of energy, we would never join the 'Dark Knights',
]" Watson "walked" into the cave: "[And now, I have a new subordinate, and the end of that weirdo is coming soon!]"
A good guide. If it were a game, it would at least make the "player" sympathize with the little robot in front of him, but because he bears the name "Watson", he really can't think of it as a robot.
"[Dang Dang Dang~ Look here, quick-acting medical glue and weapons,]" Watson flipped around, opened a small safe and showed it to Sherlock: "[Let's go and kill the four-armed devil who is stopping me from going back.
'Bar.】"
Inside was a small cylinder filled with red liquid, and a pistol with an exaggerated cartoon style and a structure that could stun a real firearms expert.
Never mind, I'm not a firearms expert.
Sherlock tried to reach out and pick up the gun. Almost at the same time, the red test tube-like cylinder flew up on its own as if being attracted and sank into his body.
The next moment, the "health value" that was originally only 1% rose directly to 51%. Then, a familiar and unfamiliar interface, the "item and equipment column" also opened, and displayed the information of the weapon Sherlock was holding.
The functions of your all-purpose tool are really unlocked step by step!
However, because there is no actual comparison, it is currently impossible to determine the extent of damage caused by these 11-13, and how it compares to his magic spell. Perhaps we should find a strange person——
Boom!
Just as Sherlock thought of this, the roof of the mechanical cave suddenly collapsed, and a huge ape with white hair and four arms jumped out of the gap, grabbed the unresponsive Watson, and directly moved his hand to kill the ape.
One-Eye was pulled out, and then he threw Watson aside, scratched him for a few times, climbed up the roof gap, and fled.
"[Ouch - no - my poor eyes - it is too far away to receive the signal -]"
[Mission completed: Follow Watson to the hideout. (√)]
[Current mission: Take back Watson’s eyes from the ‘Four-Armed Demon’. 】
Sherlock looked at Watson, who had broken wires exposed in his "eye sockets" and was banging against the wall, and shrugged.
For this rigid mission guidance, I can barely score 70 points.
