Chapter 264: Lonely and Romantic Song
"~~~~~~"
"~~~~~~~~"
Xia Yu was walking on the avenue inside the forest. Before he saw the shadow of the amusement park, the ethereal and beautiful singing voice penetrated the layers of the forest and reached his ears.
That is the language unique to Neil's world, an ethereal and romantic song composed in Neil's language.
When he was playing NieR: Automata, Xia Yu often went to the Amusement Park Ruins map to listen to music.
Although he did feel it was a bit weird when he first arrived at this map.
Although they were in a happy amusement park, there was no one in sight. There were only mechanical life forms dressed in funny clown costumes, with paint on their faces, repeating the same actions and sentences.
Fireworks were set off in the gloomy sky like dusk, and singing was floating in the air from the entrance of the dilapidated amusement park. The music sounded cheerful at first, but upon closer inspection, one could feel an indescribable sadness.
Coupled with the mechanical life form that repeats the actions and words, it can only make people feel weird.
Of course, this was just the experience of entering the ruins of the amusement park for the first time. After thoroughly understanding the story of the game NieR: Automata, Xia Yu particularly liked those maps with music.
Especially the amusement park that looks bustling yet extremely dilapidated. It is both prosperous and desolate, with unspeakable loneliness in the carnival, accompanied by sad music. It is definitely unforgettable for everyone who has played there.
“It’s a song I really miss.”
Xia Yu, who could already see the entrance to the amusement park, couldn't help but .
It sounded familiar because this was not the first time he had heard the song, and it sounded strange because this was the first time he had heard it in real life.
Compared to the game, reality is more shocking.
"What's the matter, sir?"
The twins who were accompanying Xia Yu couldn't help but ask when they saw Xia Yu's face full of nostalgia.
"Nothing." Xia Yu shook his head to signal them not to worry, "It's just that this song brought back some memories of my past."
The innocence of the first time I came into contact with a game, the joy of playing the game, and the touching feeling of being completely immersed in the game plot, now as I grow older, I can no longer easily experience them.
"Life is like a ruthless knife~ It changes our appearance~"
Xia Yu hummed the old song that he suddenly remembered and walked towards the renovated amusement park.
Although the ruins of the amusement park had been renovated under his arrangement, only the amusement facilities were renovated, and he did not change some special statue landscapes.
For example, the huge heart-shaped castle in the center of the amusement park and the sky full of fireworks that seem to never stop are all features of the amusement park.
He didn't want this special amusement park to be renovated into an ordinary entertainment venue.
At the entrance of the amusement park, round-headed and round-brained mechanical life forms maintain order and sell souvenirs to the androids who come to play.
The currency in today's NieR world has been unified, and there is no need to use universal parts to replace currency as in the past.
"Welcome! Welcome!"
Seeing Xia Yu and his group, the guy with the clown hat and round head painted on his face immediately came over with his short legs and trotted over to welcome them.
These round-headed mechanical life forms have not awakened themselves, and their current reactions are all in accordance with the programs set by N2.
Although the N2 who have recognized their master are no longer trapped by the underlying logic of "defeating the enemy", they still want to seek evolution.
After all, recognizing the master and seeking evolution are not contradictory, and Xia Yu did not stop N2 from wanting to evolve, unless N2's evolution could break the underlying logic of its own existence and then evolve into the Rectification Protocol, one of the three major natural disasters.
Of course, this is just a possibility. The possibility of N2 evolving into the Rectification Protocol may not be as great as the possibility of Xia Yu becoming a Transcendent.
"What do you want to play first?"
After entering the amusement park from the entrance, Xia Yu looked at the golden rabbit's round head that looked like a statue but actually moved, and casually asked the people around him.
"Everything is up to you, my Lord."
"I want to ride the Ferris wheel!"
Popola and Diwala gave different answers, which was rare. When Popola heard Diwala's proposal, she immediately glared at him.
It's clearly an action to observe the mental state of adults, do you really think of it as a date?
Because they were sisters who understood each other's minds, Divara immediately understood what Popola meant and hurriedly made amends.
"I was wrong just now. I listen to adults!" After saying that, Divara added weakly, "I... I don't really want to ride the Ferris wheel."
"Haha, let's go ride the Ferris wheel then." Seeing Divara like this, Xia Yu smiled , "It's okay, I just want to ride the Ferris wheel too."
To be honest , Divara was a little touched. Although Xia Yu had already touched her a lot, how could she think this was too much?
After silently sealing the memories of what she had just experienced in the deepest part of the system, Divara nodded vigorously in response to Xia Yu.
Since they had decided to ride the Ferris wheel, the four of them naturally headed towards it.
The Ferris wheel in the ruins of the amusement park had stopped running, but with the repair of the mechanical life form, it resumed operation.
In fact, androids cannot feel anything about these entertainment facilities that are provided for human entertainment. After all, androids and humans cannot be generalized. But precisely because these entertainment facilities are provided for human entertainment, they have special significance for androids.
Therefore, there was a long queue at the Ferris wheel, most of whom were resistance fighters who had finished fighting and were enjoying their lives.
Looking at the long queue at the Ferris wheel, Xia Yu directly used his human privileges and cut in line to enter the Ferris wheel.
His behavior not only did not cause any bad feelings, but instead made the queue for the Ferris wheel even longer.
This is the only entertainment facility on earth that has been played by adults, and they must come and experience it every day.
Artificial people's enthusiasm for human experience is in all aspects. Just experiencing the entertainment facilities that humans have played is already very simple.
Those who were a little more complicated would have changed their own gender long ago. Of course, after Xia Yu issued an order prohibiting the arbitrary change of gender, those artificial humans could only use more complicated methods to express their enthusiasm for humans.
“It’s so beautiful…”
At the top of the Ferris wheel, Popola and Divara looked at the fireworks outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. Even A2, who had always been very cool, couldn't help but nod.
"If we have time, we can come here often in the future." Looking at the fireworks outside the window, Xia Yu said with a faint smile.
Looking at Xia Yu's current appearance, the three of them were moved, but also couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Xia Yu doesn't look like he has any mental problems now, so why does he often have such a silly expression?
