Chapter 606 The Builder's Black Material
After completing the division of labor, Lin Lan and Taiho bid farewell to Musashi and the others for the time being, and followed the Clearer to the staircase corridor leading to the upper floors of the fortress.
As the group walked up the stairs, Shimakaze and Yukikaze also talked to the Clearer.
"Clearer, Clearer, were you bored when you were in the Polar Fortress before?"
The one who asked the question was Shimakaze, the little bunny-eared loli who was very active, and she jumped to the side of the Clearer and asked.
When Lin Lan heard Shimakaze's question, he also remembered that in the game plot, the Clearer was a high-level Siren responsible for governing the entire polar region.
At that time, the one who confronted the Clearer was the ship girl of the Northern Alliance.
He still remembered the straightforward Northern Alliance destroyer little loli Tashkent, who had a strong defense against the Clearer who had a second-year syndrome and was deliberately mysterious when he first appeared.
But the Clearer would never bring up those embarrassing past events:
"When I was in the base fortress, I could not only watch anime and movies, but also play games. Everything was good except that the weather was a little cold."
The Siren girl walking in front didn't mind the conversation from the little lolita from the Sakura Empire at all, but answered with interest.
"Oh? You Sirens are afraid of the cold too?"
Xuefeng caught the key point in the Clearer's words, shook her white cat tail, looked at the Builder playfully and asked.
"Hey, don't look down on us, little girl. We are not afraid of the cold, but who wants to go to the polar region when we can stay in a warm environment?"
The Clearer rolled his eyes at Xuefeng, then sighed:
"The facilities built by the Builder are good in every way, but he is too rigid in pursuing efficiency. He didn't even set up a heating system in the polar fortress. He is really stubborn."
"You are saying bad things about the Builder. Aren't you afraid that she has installed monitoring equipment in this fortress?"
Lin Lan also joined the topic at this time, and the Clearer waved his hand nonchalantly:
"Even if she has installed monitoring equipment, what's the harm? I haven't told the Observer that she spends two-thirds of her working time slacking off."
"How can the Builder be as lazy as you say? You must be making fun of us."
Akagi smiled and deliberately used words to stimulate this high-level Siren girl who couldn't control her mouth.
And she really got more black material about the Builder.
When the Clearer heard someone dared to question her, she immediately waved her fist, turned her head and said loudly:
"Don't think that the Builder is so diligent, it's all because of the Observer. That guy is so lazy that he doesn't even want to play games!"
"And don't think that the Builder can complete the task perfectly every time, that's because she will finish the task content in advance, and then find a place in the experimental field that is not easy to be discovered to sleep, and will not upload the data to the host until the specified time of the task is up!"
Hearing so much black material about the Builder, Lin Lan thought about it and found that this seemed to be something that the Builder could do.
Although the little Lolita who always wears a white Gothic nightgown is always in the spotlight, it is obvious that her work attitude is not as positive as the tester.
Hate trouble, always want to solve problems as quickly as possible, and be frugal with words...
I'm afraid that even the act of talking has been calculated into energy consumption by the Builder.
When he sees the Builder next time, he must tease this slacker.
"Wow?! Isn't that the Builder in front?"
Just when Lin Lan was about to listen to the Clearer reveal more dirt about the Builder, Shimakaze's shocked voice suddenly sounded.
This also made everyone on the stairs, including him, excited and looked at the entrance to the third floor of the fortress.
Shimakaze was right. A short-haired siren girl in a white robe and expressionless face was looking down at them from a high position at the entrance of the corridor.
Without a doubt, the Builder!
When Lin Lan saw the appearance of the Builder, thousands of possibilities flashed through his mind.
Could it be that the Purifier tricked him and the Sakura Empire ship girl into the fortress and planned to catch them all in one fell swoop?
Or did the Builder really hear the Clearer say bad things about her and came to kill her in person?
"Protect the commander! Get ready..."
Just as Akagi was about to order all the Sakura Empire warship girls to prepare for battle, the Clearer suddenly laughed arrogantly:
"Hahaha! Look how scared you are. That's just the mass-produced Builder I use to count the warehouse. If the Builder is really here, how can I be so comfortable!"
Okay, the misunderstanding is resolved.
Lin Lan and the other Sakura Empire warship girls breathed a sigh of relief. In their hurry, they really forgot that the Advanced Siren had mass-produced machines.
After all, this is the Siren Fortress, and it is not uncommon to have mass-produced machines of Advanced Siren.
Although the combat effectiveness of those mass-produced Advanced Siren machines is not much different from the main body, if there is no control of the main body consciousness, there is not much difference between them and the Executor.
After hearing the Clearer say that this lifelike mass-produced Builder is responsible for counting the warehouse, Lin Lan, who was relieved, also secretly winked at Akagi.
Akagi smiled cunningly, of course she understood what this meant.
Since the mass-produced Builder responsible for counting the fortress warehouse was at the entrance of the floor passage, it was time for them to part ways with Lin Lan and the others.
Before leaving, Lin Lan had asked Akashi which functions of the Clearer's Basking Shark ship suit had been shut down.
Among them was the radar system.
This was also the reason why he let Akagi and the others pick up the goods from the fortress warehouse without any worries.
But even if the Clearer found Akagi and the others, it didn't matter.
He still had several ways to force the Clearer to surrender, and he didn't worry about the Clearer turning against him.
The overall structure of the Siren Fortress was somewhat similar to that of the Iron Blood Fortress, with a total of five floors.
Lin Lan looked down from the stairs to the hall below, and they were now on the third floor.
The Purifier had just flown to the fifth floor with Canglong and Feilong, and it seemed that the central control room of the fortress that the Clearer was going to take them to should also be on the top floor.
After Akagi and the few Sakura warships that had just been arranged left the team silently, Lin Lan walked forward quickly, just about to talk to the Clearer, in case this middle school Siren girl found something wrong...
The Clearer suddenly stopped, stood on the stairs to the fourth floor, touched his chin and muttered in a low voice:
"No, no, no, no."
Lin Lan and Taihou and Suruga who followed him up were all stunned, and looked at each other in surprise.
Did the Clearer find something wrong just after Akagi and the others left?
It seems that the Clearer is a high-level Siren after all, and they really can't treat the Clearer as a real idiot.
Just as Lin Lan decided to stop pretending and moved his hand to his pocket to take out the camera, the Clearer's next words made him pause:
"I can't take you directly to the fortress central control room. The Purifier is still there. If I take you there, she will definitely laugh at me."
"I'll take you to another place suitable for playing games. Hehehe, follow me."
After saying that, the Clearer quickened his pace up the stairs without looking back.
"..."
Lin Lan looked at the back of the Clearer, and the expression on his face was extremely wonderful for a while.
Even Shi Yu sighed helplessly and complained:
"The Northern Alliance didn't take down the Polar Fortress for so long. Were they all infected by the Clearer?"
Well, no matter whether what Shi Yu said was right or not, Lin Lan had already made a secret decision that it would be better not to use his brain when talking to the Clearer in the future.
Otherwise, the Clearer will definitely bring your IQ down to her level, and then defeat you with her powerful firepower and rich experience.
Until the Clearer led Lin Lan and others into the passage on the fourth floor of the fortress, this middle school senior Siren did not notice that the number of people behind him had decreased.
