The young commander who was sitting at the table with his back to the door was startled, frowned and looked back, then realized that he was in a bad mood, and quickly pinched his brows to ease his expression.
"Um, Purifier, what's wrong? Isn't Little Beifa downstairs?"
"Yes, I'll ask her to heat up some milk for you." The Purifier jumped to the bed in two or three steps and rolled into the quilt. "Wow... It's a fragrant peach-flavored drink~ It smells much better than seafood~"
Su Xin put down her pen and turned to look at her helplessly, "Where does the seafood smell come from?"
"In my quilt, even though the octopus monster is gone, the smell is still there. I should find a chance to wash the quilt!"
"Really? But I don't remember her smelling like you said. Did I remember it wrong? Then I'll call her and ask her.
“Yinyin, don’t!” The Purifier raised his head from the quilt and met the commander’s half-smiley eyes. He knew he was being fooled, and pouted his lips in dissatisfaction: “Humph… You have no conscience. I’m just trying to make you happy…”
Su Xin softened her expression and chuckled, "Yeah, I know, thank you, I just... have a lot of problems to solve."
The Purifier kicked off his slippers and simply crawled into the little commander's bed, leaning against the head of the bed like a master, "Tell me, let the great Purifier help you make a decision!"
I don't mean to look down on you, but with the Purifier's IQ...
The young commander tactfully replied: "Next time if I don't like someone, I will immediately come to you for help!"
"Hey! I'm not just good at fighting, okay? I was also very smart back then!"
"...then?"
The Purifier hummed proudly, "That's right, the Dream Weaver praised me before, she said I was unexpectedly smart!"
Su Xin:……..?
He kicked his feet under the quilt unconvincedly, "Why don't you say anything? Hey, tell me something, maybe I can really help you."
The young commander breathed a sigh of relief, put aside his chaotic thoughts for the time being, and explained briefly:
"One problem is Ono Xing. Her behavior is somewhat contradictory. I know she has a purpose, but she hasn't mentioned it to me so far, and I'm not sure if she was coerced into doing it."
"The second one is [Helena]. The observer told me that she might have been affected in some way, and her personality and thoughts might have changed unintentionally. I can't contact her, so I can't verify it."
"And then there's No. 1015. The observer said... well, to put it simply, the calculator she built suddenly became spiritual."
"I can't solve any of these problems, so I've been trying to find a solution these past few days, but the more I think about it, the more confused I feel. I even think that Torricelli is not that simple. How can someone be able to modify a hair dryer right after birth?"
"I feel like I think too much, but I can't do anything. Then I keep thinking and thinking, and finally..."
Su Xin pointed to the paper balls that had been stepped on several times in the trash can. Judging from the number, there were probably two or three notebook pages. "We've been wasting paper."
The Purifier was obviously surprised that his good friend had so many things on his mind.
She had always thought that the other party was unhappy simply because she had gone back to the bathroom again two days ago, and after pushing the other party out, she happened to find bloody sanitary products in the basket.
"So you frown every day not because... because of pain?"
"Hurt? Where... uh." The little commander realized it later, rubbed his lower abdomen, and put on a mask of pain, "...If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. It hurts a lot now..."
Qinghuaqin was startled and quickly climbed out of the bed. He got down barefoot and carried Su Xin, who looked puzzled, into the place he had warmed up.
"......what?"
"Ah? Wouldn't it be cold for humans to have sex? So... I'll warm you up."
Su Xin rolled her eyes in annoyance and amusement, pointing at the paper and pen on the table, "Okay, then please give me the notebook."
The Purifier waved his hands, "No, no, you said you couldn't think of it, so why not think about it? I can definitely help you."
"Hmm? Um...like?"
"For example, that... that Xing, I can get the answer in a few seconds with just one search, including how many times she wet the bed when she was a child and when she was weaned. That way you don't have to worry about it, right?"
Su Xin paused and shook her head, “As for Xiao Ye Xing’s matter, I can get the answer by asking Tian Cheng and the others, but I want to solve it myself, otherwise… I always feel like I’ve lost.
Big Eyes Cute scratched his head, "Okay, then...then I'll go ask Octopus Girl where the [META ship] is, and then go over and ask her to come back, how about that?"
"...Although I am worried about her, it seems that there will be no danger other than cognitive impairment. If you go, you might be affected. I don't think it's a good idea."
"Well, even if I am affected, it will be convenient for you to observe me and find a way to cure me. I am not worried."
Su Xin frowned subconsciously, and looked at the big-eyed Meng with a serious expression with a pale face, "...I'm not that omnipotent, you should also care more about yourself, why use yourself as a test sample?"
"It's not like I haven't done that before..." The Purifier muttered quietly, and without waiting for Su Xin to respond, he continued, "And we've known each other for such a short time, if I don't do something..."
These words were truly a stab in the heart, and the young commander subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly he remembered the series of assistance measures the other party had taken since they met.
"...I am not qualified to refute you." Su Xin was silent for a long time and then blamed herself: "I can't say that I enjoy the benefits you bring me while saying that you don't cherish yourself..."
The Purifier never thought that one day he would see his good friend's guilty and painful expression.
All along, she had no idea of being a tool, and just hoped that the first good friend she had made in countless years could live a happy life.
To this end, she put aside her position several times to provide convenience to the other party, and even when their ideas conflicted with each other, she still wanted to cooperate with the other party in order to help the other party achieve his goal.
From the perspective of a purifier, he just hopes that everything goes well for his good friend.
After all, this is her first good friend. Unlike those people who changed her data and deleted her existence countless times without permission long ago, this friend will take the initiative to care about her feelings.
Just because of this, the Purifier is willing to give himself for the other party.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly talked it out today. The Purifier realized belatedly that she had indeed been wronged. Especially when she saw her good friend's clenched hands, she suddenly felt sad.
The sudden surge of emotions made her feel very helpless. She didn't know what to say or what expression to use. It was obvious that she shouldn't mind it that much.
"You should mind..." As if she had read the Purifier's thoughts in advance, Su Xin took a deep breath, "I should coax you, solve your problems, and meet your requirements."
“But, but between good friends…don’t we need to make such clear distinctions…?” Big Eyed Meng asked awkwardly.
The little commander disagreed, "These are two different things. Anyway... you can be a little selfish. It's too bullying to have to pay something to maintain the relationship just because you have known each other for a short time..."
The Purifier didn't quite understand, but at least she understood one thing, which was that she could be a little selfish and indulge herself.
That being the case...
"Can we go to the bathroom together in the future?" Big-eyed Meng asked expectantly, holding the little conductor's hand.
After being interrupted by the Purifier, Su Xin, who should have been even more confused, felt a little relieved.
Her emotions are very dull. If others don't bring it up, she won't take the initiative to protect them, including her intimacy with her marriage ship, where she is always the passive party.
This time, she was able to completely unravel the mystery. By learning from it, she had more or less realized that she should not pursue the practicality of her efforts too much. Ordinary and trivial interactions might be more meaningful.
As for going to the bathroom together...
Although it was a bit embarrassing, Su Xin really agreed.
It just feels a bit strange in practice. Is there any difference between waiting for the other person to finish inside the door and waiting outside the door?
However, the Purifier seemed very satisfied, and I didn't know what he was dissatisfied with.
Su Xin took note of the information that the other party inadvertently revealed during the conversation just now. She was very concerned about it, but now was not the time to explore it. She had to solve other problems first.
We can put the matter of Ono An aside since the other party is targeting us anyway.
She is the hunter who uses bait to fish. There is no need for her to chase the prey around. She can just hang the earthworm and wait for the prey to take the bait.
Torricelli's identity cannot be delayed. The longer she delays, the more she will think about it, and the more detrimental it will be for their future relationship and communication.
In the end, she asked the Purifier for help with this matter because it was the most efficient way.
After confirming that Torricelli was really just a gifted person and not an official spy, Su Xin took the time to apologize to the submarine that was dismantling its main gun.
The "Kelp Monster", who always had a gloomy expression, expressed his understanding of this, and even felt that his commander came too late and should have come to investigate before he contacted Yubari.
Although she was not blamed, Su Xin still gave her own compensation. She thought about it for a long time, and finally dismantled one of the missiles attached to the ship and gave it to the other party for research.
This move received a five-star rating from the submariner, so she took the opportunity to return the cash and gave Toricelli enough red tips to customize several sets of [Special Clothes for Ship Girls], although the other party said they were of no use.
After solving the incidental problems, Su Xin began to ponder again.
However, this time she did not choose to figure it out on her own, but instead brought the Purifier along to discuss the feasibility of any ideas with him.
This made Da Yan Meng very happy, even though she didn't understand it at all. She thought every method could be successful, but in the end every method was rejected.
But this did not prevent her from feeling truly happy, and the thought that occasionally popped up in her mind, "It would have been great if we had met earlier," never appeared again.
Unfortunately, the intense discussions did not result in any effective measures.
The most reliable and reasonable way at the moment is to wait for Helena to come back for the second time. She will then take the opportunity to ask for clarification and work with the parties involved to find a breakthrough.
However, this world has become special. The longer she is away, the longer she will be away. Su Xin has no idea when the other party will come back next time.
Observers who searched the database also did not provide a response.
Either it means that it takes a lot of time to look up information, or it means that throughout the history of the Siren, no similar cases can be found.
Su Xin is more pessimistic and guesses that the situation may be more inclined to the latter.
The days passed one after another, but there was still no progress.
Ono An came to visit every now and then, and she still behaved well-behaved and innocent. Even the admiration and attachment in her eyes seemed so real, but it made the little commander feel bored.
Compared to irrelevant humans, she certainly hopes that her own ship girl can be safe, so she has no time to share her concerns with outsiders.
Things finally took a turn for the better until early August, when the Purifier, who always liked to stay with the little commander, accidentally said something.
"Actually, I still wish I had known you before. Don't you have super powers? I asked you before and you said no. Now we are even closer. Why don't you take another look?"
It's just a look, and it will be completed in a few seconds, but when Su Xin opened the [Virtual Port Area] interface, she suddenly thought of something.
According to Helena's description, she embarked on a long journey to find her "sister" because of her "sister's" death, but she never met the person she was looking for until she found Su Xin.
In other words, from the death of "sister" to "encountering Su Xin", there was no turning point like "sister" in the countless years in between, and there was no time point for [archives] to work with.
The "cause" created by the [archives] formed the "result" of the two people meeting in the future, and the "result" in the form of "cause" facilitated Su Xin's entry into the [archives]. The entire process from beginning to end has been determined.
So when you enter the [Archives] at this time, you can either watch Yixian's historical past as if you were watching a movie and revisit the life in the courtyard from beginning to end.
Or, because [Helena] does not belong to this world, it will lead to the creation of a wonderful product different from Yixian.
There cannot be two Su Xins in the same world at the same time, so no matter how she enters and exits the [archives] about Yixian, she can only watch history and will not appear as a new individual.
As for [Helena] outside the world, perhaps there are some different possibilities.
Maybe, she could derive "the formation of another Su Xin outside this world" from the "cause" of "Helena was affected and came back to heal her wounds", and thus move towards the unknown "result" in the future?
Trying to enter the long-sealed [Archives], Su Xin in reality fell asleep instantly, but suddenly woke up after a few seconds and happily hugged the confused Purifier.
"Purification dear! You are a genius!"
"Ah...huh? Ah, of course I know. Do I need you to tell me?"
Chapter 937: Purification of the Past
The [Archive] sub-option alone can be used as a "[Carrier] Maker" to allow Su Xin's consciousness to exist in other worlds.
As for the extent of the power possessed by the [virtual space] which is a combination of multiple functions, I am afraid no one can clearly tell.
Although the theory of causality is simple to explain, if you really dig deeper, it will most likely become a bottomless pit full of contradictions.
Su Xin couldn't be sure what impact what she wanted to do now would have on the future. Similarly, she couldn't confirm whether her current thoughts were actually part of the future.
As for "cause and effect" and "destiny", how you understand it depends entirely on the individual.
Those who believe will abide by the corresponding rules and continue to move forward along the path they have chosen until they reach the predetermined end.
Unbelievers naturally have the right to sneer. Faced with various choices and forks in the road, they can do whatever they want without any blame.
And Su Xin happens to be one of those who doesn't believe in these things.
She had said before when chatting with Shinano that she didn't really believe in "fate". In her opinion, the so-called "fate" was just a probabilistic event.
What kind of person does what kind of things, and there will most likely be what kind of consequences, this is foreseeable.
On the contrary, the method of simply relying on dates to predict a person's future direction has no scientific basis in her opinion. (No reference or sarcasm)
Therefore, the complicated "theory of cause and effect" is not within her consideration. If she really wants to thoroughly understand the relationship between the beginning and the end, it would be too late.
Rather than being intimidated by unfounded influences and becoming timid, she believes more in finding practical ways to solve the problem.
But before entering the [Archives], she still had to discuss it with several of her own ship girls.
If you put your personal safety aside and take risks alone, you will easily become hated if you do it too often.
Last time, not only was she scolded by the ship girls, but she also had a cold war with them for a while. This time, Su Xin had to get everyone's consent before saying anything. After all, she had the responsibility of taking care of the ship girls.
The Purifier, on the contrary, has great confidence in Commander Su Xiao.
Logically speaking, the opponent's glorious record of punching Octopus Girl and stepping on Si Dali could not be faked. With the blessing of this ability, she didn't think there was anything to worry about.
"Speaking of your transformation, can you change whenever you want?" After lunch, the Purifier asked curiously.
