"Have you forgotten that she has magical powers?"
"Well... I haven't forgotten it, but I was quite surprised that there is a spell with a timekeeping function among the magical powers."
Nagato glanced at the closed door, afraid of disturbing Mutsu's lunch break, and after thinking for a moment, he simply stood up and sat down next to the young commander from across from him.
It was too close, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she kept a fist's distance away, knelt down and straightened her body, then took the paper and pen.
"Actually...there are many kinds of magical powers. I asked her before, and the answer was much more complicated than I thought."
As Nagato spoke, he drew a circle on the paper with a pen. Many lines extended from the circle, and at the end of the lines were circles again. Adjacent circles were connected by lines, and finally formed a structure similar to a spider web.
"There are many magical techniques, but they are interrelated. According to her, mastering one technique is enough to get started, extending it to the left and right is improvement, and mastering it thoroughly is great power."
Su Xin was stunned, "Well... I understand, but why are you telling me this?"
Nagato put down his pen and thought for a moment, "Maybe she thinks... you have talent? Once you master spiritual awareness, maybe she will possess you and teach you in person."
"...Teach me magic?!"
"Well... I'm just guessing. After all..." Nagato didn't finish his words, but added the second half of the sentence in his mind, "After all, she seems to think highly of you."
Ever since she saw the [Apparition Spell] when she was looking for York City last time, the little commander, who was extremely curious about this kind of thing, was excited for several days. However, as a Muggle, she couldn't draw the effect even if she folded paper.
I thought there would be no follow-up to this matter, but today I was suddenly told that there is a possibility of learning.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't excited, but Su Xin didn't lose her mind. She crossed her legs and moved her butt several times before finally calming down.
"Hmm... But how can I master the spiritual consciousness you mentioned...?"
There wasn't really anything Nagato could do, she was born with the skills and there was no such thing as a martial arts secret manual that could be taught.
After thinking it over, he finally came up with a rather unreliable suggestion, "Why don't you try meditation? Or I'll go ask Shiranui."
"Well, don't worry, I have to deal with Ono Apricot's problem."
"Well... I also think this is the best way."
According to Suzuka, Ono would tap the button-shaped device on the inside of her pants with her fingertips every five minutes.
Just like tapping the table with your fingernails when you are thinking, you tap five times at equal intervals each time, without saying anything in particular. Even for most of the day, the other person at home may not open his mouth.
Su Xin guessed that this was conveying some kind of message similar to "No abnormality". Maybe the person behind the scenes asked her to do this to determine her loyalty.
But if that were the case, there would be too many measures to deal with it.
After recording, it will be played every five minutes. If there is a knocking sensor, someone else can be responsible for knocking, so she can be free to do other things, right?
Even if the room is full of cameras, it is entirely possible to create a safe discussion area by simply going outside and typing explanations on your phone.
But the fact is, in Ono An's numerous previous visits, she had not conveyed the need for help.
Moreover, Su Xin occasionally wore the glasses given to her by Yubari under the pretext of reading, but she never saw any electronic devices on her except a mobile phone.
This means that when you visit, those "buttons" are not there, and the only thing that can be monitored is the real-time conversation on the mobile phone.
Even if you are really in a voice call, to deceive the phone in your pocket with the camera covered, you can just write with a pen and paper. There are always more solutions than problems.
No matter how Su Xin thought about it, she felt something was not right. Ono Xing did not seem to be trying hard to fight against the family. Instead, she seemed more like she was just giving up.
If she is not discovered by herself, then she will continue to do as asked. If she is discovered, then she will throw the problem to herself and then stay at home and wait for the problem to be solved.
"How can such a good thing happen..." Su Xin frowned, a little dissatisfied.
Nagato beside him couldn't figure it out either. She was even less thoughtful than Commander Su Xiao, and she was also very simple-minded. Her first reaction was to help others get out of the sea of suffering.
Fortunately, the young commander was on high alert and no longer jumped to conclusions easily.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the heavy cruiser that someone left unsaid yesterday and subtly left a suspense, so she immediately sent a message.
Su Xin: [Sister Atago, are you free now? I'm at Nagato's house. ]
Atago: [You're so smart. You thought of me after only one day?]
Atago: [I am accompanying Kaohsiung in training, so I probably can't leave. But for your question... I can give you a small hint. ]
Atago: [How many sides do you think a coin has?]
The next day, after a two-day holiday, the ship girls started working as usual and returned to their previous busy state.
In the morning, Su Xin woke up Lafei, who was sleeping in the same bed with her, and helped her get dressed, wash, and tie her hair. After seeing off the large group, she took more than an hour's sleep before getting up.
The maid who stayed at home to take care of daily life was still Xiao Beifa, and the two Siren ships followed to eat and drink for free, but compared with the previous one, there was also a new submarine ship.
Although Torricelli has a certain combat capability, she spends most of her time picking up fish while thanking nature for letting her work at sea, which always feels unreliable.
In addition, she has been in more contact with Yubari recently, so everyone decided to keep her at home to study and tinker with the equipment. Maybe there will be one more expert in the port area.
Su Xin naturally did not object to this. Rather, she did not have the energy to care about Torricelli. She had her own things to do.
After Atago gave her a few pointers yesterday, she seemed to have grasped something vaguely, but she wasn't quite sure.
But suddenly I don't care so much about that human girl who is full of contradictions and perhaps has some unspeakable secrets.
After all, what does it have to do with her what other people do?
Whether voluntarily or forced, she has no obligation to help someone who intends to gain benefits from her.
Not to mention that the so-called "forced" may not be true.
Instead of worrying about Ono An, she might as well spend her time on writing data symbols. After all, the progress so far was much slower than she expected.
After this summer event, her popularity may see an explosion. This is a good opportunity to show her uniqueness and gain attention.
Su Xin planned to take advantage of this opportunity to finish writing the data before the end of the event, and then use the equipment in the Purifier Base to pick up those people in the courtyard.
Strange human being? How about love?
If you are willing to come and seek help, then I will give you a hand depending on the situation. If you are not willing to come, then forget it.
Expect her to come to your door?
The little commander who was writing data curled his lips, "...I'm not stupid."
"What's not stupid?"
"Huh?" Su Xin turned her head, quite surprised, "Ah, Observer, why are you here?"
"The room is so close, why can't I come?"
"I'm just curious, where is the Purifier?"
The observer walked to the table leisurely and glanced at the contents of the notebook. "He was just teasing your little maid. Anyway, he was not doing any real work."
"Well, that's good. I was worried that little Beifa would feel bored. These two can help to balance out the boredom. This way, I don't have to go out of my way to find new cartoons for her to watch."
The leisure time at home was indeed long, and Xiao Beifa watched anime very quickly, which resulted in Su Xin having to pick out a few of them every now and then, so that the little maid wouldn't stick to her character and just stand there doing nothing.
As for why I chose...
For the current anime series, she has no way of determining what the main story is unless she watches a few episodes, let alone recommending it to her children.
After the words fell, the observer did not respond immediately, but fell silent as if in a daze.
The young commander turned his head to look at her, and said helplessly, "Okay, just tell me what you want to say."
"Well, there is something." The octopus girl pinched her eyebrows and said reluctantly, "Helena came back to see you yesterday, right?"
"Uh, yeah, I thought you knew."
The observer nodded. "I know, but our relationship is not that good. I didn't want to see her from the beginning, so I went to the base with the Purifier and only came back last night."
"Well... then what?"
After a moment of silence, the octopus girl decided to speak frankly.
"I noticed something unusual in the data sent back by No. 1015. You know, as... consumables, I won't give them too many emotions to ensure that the data is as objective as possible."
This hesitation came from the fact that she knew Su Xin did not agree with the "consumable" argument, but what she wanted to say could not avoid the so-called "emotional module", so she had to talk about it.
"The data she sent back before did not contain subjective modifiers, but in the data yesterday... I saw the word 'beautiful'."
Su Xin didn't really understand. "As a creature with independent thinking and self-awareness, it is possible for her to have her own aesthetics and personality, right?"
"...You still don't understand what the problem is." The observer pointed at himself, "Just like me, I am also a man-made product. The reason why I have emotions is because the corresponding modules have been embedded in me before I leave the factory."
"And she was made by me. I am very sure that I did not equip her with such a thing, nor do I have any parts that would produce a similar possibility. The one thousand and fourteen parts that were born before her are all the same."
"Countless years have passed, and none of them have undergone this transformation, except for No. 1015. Based on the speed of time here, she is only two months old."
"If you still don't understand, let me put it another way. If I am what you consider to be an 'artificial intelligence', then she is at most a calculator."
"Do you think a calculator that runs on two batteries can have human emotions?"
Obviously, no.
Su Xin knew the answer, but she still didn't understand, "What does this have to do with [Helena]?"
The observer tapped the tabletop with his fingers, feeling a little irritated and at a loss for what to expect. "Did you notice anything wrong with her?"
"Hmm...emotionally? That's a little extreme. She said that she was mentally damaged because she stayed in the contaminated area for too long."
"Besides that?"
"...Gone, right? She's much better after resting for a while. She was indeed quite tough when I first met her."
The observer couldn't figure out the situation, so he had to ask the commander to repeat everything Helena had said, and Su Xin did so.
Everything was fine before, and the content of the story was consistent with the observer's understanding of the situation, until she heard Su Xin say
"...hope it goes well, even if you don't quite see yourself yet."
The octopus girl asked, "Wait, is she talking to Nagato?"
Su Xin thought about it and realized that at that time she was playing a quiz game with Mutsu, and Dido was standing far away and had no chance to join the conversation, so judging from the distance, what she said to Nagato was indeed correct.
"Didn't you notice? That's the problem... You still know too little about her."
The observer narrowed his eyes. "She's not the type to say something like that. Just like Akagi took the initiative to ask to share you with everyone, is it possible that someone who has been looking for you for countless years would say something like that?"
The metaphor sounds a bit strange, but it really helps Su Xin understand the problem.
She frowned and asked, "So what you mean is...?"
"Hehe...I'm afraid she takes that 'pollution' too lightly."
Chapter 936 Genius Purification!
In fact, what the observer came to say that day was just to raise a question.
Her duty is to observe the major experimental sites, and unless necessary, she will not easily intervene to adjust the overall direction of the experimental sites.
Just like a well-read book curator who has read countless ancient books or rare copies, he still feels confused and at a loss when unfamiliar words suddenly appear.
The observer had never encountered such a situation before. In comparison, the [Arbitration Authority] as a combat department might understand the impact of [Interference] better than she did.
After proposing the hypothesis, she could not come up with a way to verify or solve it, so she could only return to the base and start searching the database.
Our lovely Purifier knew nothing about this and was happily ordered by the Octopus Girl to stay by the little commander's side to avoid any accidents.
So the Purifier had a spacious bed, a quilt that would not move around, and a shoulder massage service that was theoretically hers alone although the other party was not available.
Unfortunately, Su Xin, who is a service staff, seems to be in a low mood recently.
When the Purifiers are bored, they will help to look at the merit rankings. The port area commanded by Su Xiao is still among the top, and the gap is still widening.
She didn't understand what the other party was working on. Every time she went there, she could always see the little commander writing something.
Occasionally there are those characters that are difficult to understand, which are said to be used to create humans. Other than that, they are all names, including Ono Apricot, [Helena], 1015, etc.
She knew these Purifiers, but she didn't know what was going on.
After thinking for a long time, the Siren leader who had been slacking off for a long time finally remembered her responsibilities. In order to maintain the friendly cooperation between [Siren] and Su Xin, and to care about her good friend, she decided to take action!
"Susu...?"
"........."
"Susu, can I come in?"
The white-haired Siren with a bun turned the handle quietly and poked her head out from the gap. She was about to look up but felt it was inappropriate.
The experience of having her head moved several times made her pay great attention to the safety of her neck, so after hesitating for a moment, she simply pushed the door open and walked in confidently.
"Bang!"
"Susu, let me do the spicy thing!"
