Those delicate machines began to make a slight clicking sound, and two shimmering rhombus crystals floated out from a nearby storage tank, hovering in front of Diana. The light curtain projected by the crystals crossed was like a net. Sweeping across her body, in this brief moment, Diana's memory went back many years ago, to the days when she was a guard at the Verplanton Observatory.
At that time, life was far simpler than it is now, and a machine did not need to think about so many problems.
A mechanical handle with a sharp tip came to the top of the repair slot and accurately pried open the access cover of Diana's abdomen. The old brass core was ticking in the mechanical cabin, the magic center and the mind wrapped in a protective layer. The core glowed slightly blue in the gelatinous buffer material. Under the personal control of Ophelia Norton, the tools in the repair slot began to carefully process this body that was very different from the original factory settings. Diana The voice of the regiment leader was heard coming from above again.
"This may take a while. There are a large number of components inside your body that have seriously exceeded the limit of use, and there are many less than standard modifications and repairs. Although these things can barely allow you to move as usual, they have already damaged many of your cores. The device is causing great stress - now, relax, I'm going to redirect your energy flow to the outside and remove your magic center."
"These non-standard alterations and repairs have allowed me to live today - without them, I might have died a century ago." Diana said softly.
The brief dizziness hit her the moment the magic center was removed, and quickly dissipated due to the connection of external energy. She blinked her eyes and heard Ophelia Norton's voice coming into her ears: "' 'Live', and 'die', ordinary Iron Man soldiers rarely use these words for themselves, even for models like yours that are specifically targeted at the civilian market. You are very human now, Diana."
"This is probably a side effect of leaving the Iron Man network," Diana said slowly. She could feel the tools dismantling her body into parts bit by bit. However, this did not cause pain - her perception The system has automatically switched to maintenance mode, and the "perception" generated when the bionic tissue is cut is turning into pure data and flowing into the core of the mind. "I don't know whether this change is good or bad."
"It's up to you," Ophelia chuckled. "I'm curious, how does it feel to be disconnected from the Iron Man network? Since the birth of Iron Man, there are almost no precedents like yours - even if there are occasional disconnected individuals, I I never had the opportunity to ask this from them.¡±
"In the early stage, there was confusion and confusion. The lack of direct and clear instructions caused the body's operating efficiency to drop to the lowest point. In most cases, only the instinct to maintain one's own survival was left. And my only ability was this instinct and 'escape from disaster'. Driven by an order for hundreds of years," Diana frankly told her former nominal "Supreme Commander" these things that she had never told outsiders, "and after contact with humans, the situation began There have been some changes. Those humans are not my superior nodes, but their rescue gave me a reason to help them do something. At first, I thought this was some kind of 'order', but I don't know when, I realized this was my own 'will'"
"The central connection is about to be released and reset," the system prompt suddenly came from next to the repair slot, "Start cutting."
A strange "numbing feeling" surged into the core of her mind. The next moment, Diana lost the perception of her entire body. She seemed to have become an unconscious soul, lying on this cold mechanical platform, while maintaining only the She was thinking clearly, but her visual and auditory modules were still running. She could still see the dark red "eye" directly above her and hear Ophelia Norton's soft voice.
"It seems those humans have changed you a lot, Diana."
" You also remember my memory it is different from what was recorded in my initial data," Diana said. She found that her voice came from a synthesis device in the room. "The last time we met, I had this feeling when I came to the interactive carrier of 'Veronica'. You are different from the Ophelia Norton I know, but I don't know how to describe this difference. As an ordinary Iron Man Soldier, I only came into contact with your will in the mental network. Maybe I am not qualified to make this kind of judgment"
"Your judgment is accurate, Diana," Ophelia's voice seemed to pause for a moment, "We have all experienced something. After seven centuries of changes, it is difficult for either a soldier or a general to return Keep it the same as it was originally.¡±
Diana didn¡¯t speak for a while, just silently sensing the data flowing in the only mental core that was still functioning normally. These dataWhat? "
The petite novice nun answered honestly: "A bit, I rarely see you smiling like this. Although you are always smiling, your usual smile is different from just now."
"I'm indeed very happy." Veronica smiled, and then inexplicably stretched out her hand to rub the hair of the trainee nun in front of her. While the latter was in a daze, she herself was also stunned for a moment - even though she usually stayed in the church. He has an approachable, gentle and amiable image, but it seems like this is the first time he has acted like this.
This is not like the usual "Saint Princess" who is always dignified, quiet and introverted.
But it¡¯s very much like the ¡°Ophelia¡± who was still alive seven hundred years ago.
Her smile became brighter and she reached out to rub the novice nun's hair: "I am indeed very happy."
