Chapter 598: Purification
"The sky is clear now. We can finally go out and play today!" Javelin looked at the sunny weather outside and said to the people in the room.
"Lafite...it doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere." Lafite leaned on the sofa and said lazily.
"Hey, Rafi, go out and bask in the sun. You'll get moldy if you stay in the room for too long. And the weather is nice today, shall we go to the beach and build sand castles together? Call Unicorn and the others." Javelin said to Rafi.
Then she turned her head and looked at the Purifier who was eating snacks, "Purifier, are you going?"
Purifier, this is the nickname that Lafei and Javelin gave to the Purifier. After all, calling him Purifier is too formal and also brings up many bad memories.
Purification Kin is just right, looking cute but not making people think of fighting or anything like that.
The Purifier was very happy with this nickname and was happy to be called Purifier by Lafite and Javelin.
"Mmm... go ahead, go ahead!" The Purifier nodded quickly and said while swallowing a snack.
Z23 on the side touched his forehead speechlessly, "Finish your food before talking. And why are you so interested in building sand castles? Didn't you say before that fighting is what you are most interested in?"
The Purifier said quickly, "I am interested in everything. I used to have nothing to do, either on missions or staying in the base.
It was boring, so fighting was my only pleasure. Now that I know you and know so many things, fighting is no longer my greatest pleasure. "
Z23 couldn't help but smile, "Why do I suddenly feel so accomplished?
But then again, Purification, why do you Sirens want to fight with us Shipgirls? Isn't it good to live peacefully every day like this? "
The Purifier's smile faded for a moment. Z23 saw this and quickly waved his hand, "I don't mean to force you to say anything. It's your freedom to say it or not."
The Purifier shook his head and said, "It's okay to tell you about this, but I can only tell you a little bit."
"Isn't this really embarrassing for you?" Javelin said to the Purifier, "If it's embarrassing, you don't have to say it."
"No." The Purifier said to the group, "The reasons behind this are very complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words. You just need to know that these battles are necessary to explore an unknown future."
"Unknown future? What does that mean? Isn't the future unknown?" Z23 asked.
The Purifier shook his head. "No, the future is predetermined. No matter how many times we calculate, all the results point to a future. And that future is not the future we want, so we want to explore an unknown future in this known past.
In other words, behind us is the predetermined future, and ahead is the unknown past. We neither seek destruction nor avoid it. Everything we do is for the Judge and the Creator. Their pursuit is our goal. "
"Lord Judge and Lord Creator? They are gods...?" Ayanami, who was playing games at the side, raised her head and looked at the Purifier.
The Purifier shook his head. "No, the Judge and the Creator are both human beings, and their will is the will of human beings."
"Ah? Human?" Javelin said in surprise.
Not only Javelin, but everyone else also opened their mouths wide. Even Lafite, who usually looked very sleepy, straightened his body.
"Are you surprised?" said the Purifier.
"That's right. What Purifier said really subverted our worldview. Does that mean we are all created by humans?" Z23 said to the Purifier.
"Yes, isn't this something that is very simple to think of? Otherwise, where did we come from?
Do you really think that the Mind Cube has existed since the beginning? Then who created the first Mind Cube? Who created the first ship? Which came first, the Ship or the Mind Cube? Have you ever thought about this question?" The Purifier kept asking.
Z23 thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know."
"So, you now have very little information, so little that you don't even know your own birth." The Purifier said, "Perhaps this is a kind of sadness, but it is also a kind of happiness.
You don’t want to know what’s going to happen in the future, because even we can’t talk about it.”
Z23 couldn't help but take note, "Let's not talk about these heavy things now. The weather outside is great, let's go out and have some fun today."
"Yes, let's go out and have some fun. You've been here for such a long time, and you haven't been to other places in our port area. This time is a good opportunity for me to take you to meet other friends." Javelin responded quickly.
"Really?" After the subject was changed, the Purifier's expression was no longer serious and became lively.
"Of course, we'll build sand castles first, then play hide and seek," Javelin said with a grin.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" the Purifier said impatiently.
"Uh-huh."
…
Inside a conference room in the port area.
Frederick the Great, Akagi and others were sitting here, looking at the screen in front of them. At this moment, the screen was showing the conversation between Z23 and the Purifiers.
After the little guys left the room, a voice began to be heard in the silent conference room.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
The voice was magnetic and deep, obviously spoken by Frederick the Great.
"Haha, interesting. Judge, Creator, these god-like terms that often appear in the mouths of the Siren advanced humanoid command units are actually just humans." Akagi said with narrowed eyes.
Zhenhai smiled slightly, "Isn't this normal? After all, we and the Sirens are not human beings. We can only be called highly intelligent AI. And the humans who created us, aren't they gods to us?"
"I'm not very interested in those two. What do you think the predetermined future that the Purifiers are talking about is? It's a future that even they themselves don't want to mention.
Besides, what is the unknown past? Isn't the past the most certain thing? " Tiancheng smiled.
"What if we make an assumption, assuming that the Sirens come from the future?" Prince Eugen said, biting his finger.
"The future?" Enterprise hesitated. "Could it be that a disaster has occurred in the future that is enough to destroy the Ship Girls, the Sirens, and humanity?"
"Maybe." Zhenhai said with a smile while twirling his hair with his hands, "Perhaps this is the hypothesis that is closest to the truth."
"But a hypothesis is just a hypothesis. Until it is confirmed, it's all just conjecture," said Veneto.
"Haha, so what do you think, which came first, the KanColle? Or the Mind Cube?" Frederick the Great said with narrowed eyes.
“…”
