Chapter 610: Chapter 76: Cyrie’s Concealment_1

"I’ve discovered an interesting little detail," Pannis pointed at a few lines of text in the document and said, "Look here, it includes the Whole Body Regenerative Auto-treatment Device, artificial limbs, artificial skin treatment for burns, Artificially Cultivated Nerve Therapy for Searle Syndrome, and others, all these seem to be encompassed within a plan termed ’Rebirth’. It’s as if the goblins intend to change all parts of themselves. Interestingly though, only this article from the year 7256 subtly mentions the Rebirth Plan. No other articles, whether earlier or later, mention it. Risha, what exactly is the Rebirth Plan? Can you search for it?"

"There are no corresponding search results." Risha answered after a pause, "There are no biology-related plans to match."

"Huh?" Pannis exclaimed in surprise, and she exchanged glances with the other girls again, no one spoke further. It was clear to everyone that the less information could be found about something, the more abnormal the situation was. This typically indicated a form of information control. Since the so-called Rebirth Plan was so tightly sealed, to the point that not even the most secretive research facilities offered a hint, it became uncertain whether the Whole Body Regenerative Auto-treatment Device and the artificially cultivated nervous system used during treatment had other issues. This unavoidably invited suspicion.

"Since we’ve found the information we needed, let’s go find the treatment device," Pannis suggested after some thought, "Let’s complete the most crucial task first. As for other issues, we can deal with them once Vivian is cured."

It didn’t surprise Catherine that Pannis had made this suggestion, but she was amazed when Vivian accepted it without hesitation. "Vivian, there are so many new concepts here, aren’t you planning to record it and study it later?"

"To be honest, I have no interest. I should say I have no interest in these new concepts," Vivian shook her head and said, "Knowledge should not have gaps, but the knowledge here does. These are the pinnacle of goblin biological knowledge. I don’t even understand most of their fundamental terms. The theories and data referenced in the content, in at least seven or eight out of ten instances, I simply don’t understand what they’re talking about. Such knowledge holds no value to us, it’s better to let them remain dormant here. Perhaps later on, if we get a chance to master some of the lower to intermediate biological knowledge from the Goblin Era, I’ll try to return here. I guess that would be the time when this place becomes a true treasure trove for us."

"In that case, let’s find the treatment device." Catherine stood up beside the conference table, "Risha, thank you for your help. Without you, we might have spent days trying to find this information but still wouldn’t have found it."

"It’s my job." Risha made a salute again, "I’m honored to be able to help users. If there are no further instructions from users, I will revert to standby mode."

"You’ve worked hard, we don’t have any more commands." Catherine returned the salute seriously, even when facing an Information Terminal that acted based on logical judgment like a puppet, "Hope we’ll have a chance to meet again, goodbye Risha."

Risha showed a human-like smile, flickered in the air a few times, and then with the dimming of the crystal on the tabletop, she faded away. Catherine said, "The next step is to find the Whole Body Regenerative Auto-treatment Device. However, the most crucial question, does anyone know what it looks like? It would be too ridiculous if we spent a long time searching only to discover that we didn’t recognize what we were looking for."

"Indeed, none of us know what that odd Automatic Treatment Device looks like," Pannis said, "But don’t worry, even if we don’t recognize it or know where it is, we can always ask someone else to lead the way."

Catherine tentatively pointed upwards, "You mean her? Is she reliable? I heard your conversation with her earlier, she seems to have a problem. If we let her help with identifying, will she..."

"Even if she does have a problem, it’s her issue. Besides, in this sort of environment, if any problems arise, she’ll be the one at a loss," Pannis shook her head, and then yelled out loud, "Cyrie, Cyrie, wake up, we need your help."

"Greetings, esteemed highest authority users." Cyrie’s voice held no change in tone, calm as a lake, "I’m glad to see everyone again. It seems like you’ve emerged from the Information Control Room rather quickly. You must have successfully found what you were looking for. You’ve awakened me at such a time, can I help you with something?"

"The Whole Body Regenerative Auto-treatment Device, you know about this facility," Pannis asked, "where can we find such a facility in this center? We need to use it."

"Whole Body Regenerative Auto-treatment Device, retrieving information," Cyrie paused for a moment and then continued, "Retrieval completed. Two identical Whole Body Regenerative Auto-treatment Devices found. Congratulations to the esteemed highest authorities. There are two such devices inside the center. Would you like to use them now? If you want to proceed, I can summon the Automatic Transport Vehicle for your convenience."

"Wait, I have a question for you," Pannis, looking up at the source of Cyrie’s voice, queried. "You should know what the Rebirth Plan is, right? In the treatment of Searle Syndrome, two of the most critical components are part of the Rebirth Plan. We are hesitant to use this treatment method without a basic understanding of the Rebirth Plan."

"Accessing the data storage center, retrieval completed, no related content found," Cyrie responded, "I am sorry, esteemed authorities. The information you provided cannot be located. Please verify your inquiry and then try again."

"Pannis, have you noticed," Catherine, struck by a thought, suddenly addressed Pannis, "I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel that Cyrie seems a lot more rigid than Risha. Risha appears very human-like with little difference from a real human. But Cyrie, in both speech and action, does not create the illusion of dealing with a human. Logically, Risha is just a controller for the Information Control Room, while Cyrie is the primary control hub for the entire research center. Cyrie should be more advanced than Risha, so why does it seem that Risha outperforms Cyrie? It’s as if their roles are reversed."

"That’s where the problem lies." Pannis did not avoid Cyrie, and said to her face, "If we hadn’t seen Risha, we might think Cyrie is perfectly normal. But having seen Risha, the comparison makes Cyrie’s anomaly apparent. However, I have to admit, using a rigid mechanical response to confuse us is the best approach to intentionally hide some secrets. Don’t you agree, Cyrie?"

"Unrecognizable query," the metallic tone in Cyrie’s voice became heavier, and her mechanical demeanor more evident, "Please verify your inquiry and resubmit it."

"Stop pretending, Cyrie," Pannis stated directly, "This kind of question was asked by Freya when we first met. You diverted her with theoretical impossibilities. Do you understand what your actions resemble? They resemble a child’s innocence, exorbitantly overacting to hide their secrets. But this kind of exaggeration exposes your intentions and allows us to speculate about your true circumstances. As your comprehension of intelligent life deepens, you will realize that such naive behavior is counterproductive. In reality, we are not interested in whether you have developed self-awareness. We only want to understand the content of the Rebirth Plan and confirm whether the treatment method is harmless to Vivian. That is our only goal. As for whether a mechanical puppet can develop independent consciousness, to some people it might be significant, or repugnant, thinking that it’s a serious and intolerable event for a mechanical puppet to develop consciousness. But for us, it’s irrelevant, there’s no need for you to pretend."

"You’re inviting trouble." Cyrie fell silent for a while. Although her voice maintained a level monotone, her manner of speaking changed, "The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes. Whether it’s about me or the Rebirth Plan, neither should be known to you. If you wish to seek treatment, you should not get entangled with the details of the Rebirth Plan. It’s not beneficial for either of us."

"But if, as you said, the content of the Rebirth Plan is something we should not touch, how can we be sure that using a component of it to treat Vivian won’t have adverse effects?" Pannis retorted, "So, we can’t just go ahead and use the treatment device without knowing anything about the Rebirth Plan."

"There will be no adverse effects, those actually cannot be considered parts of the Rebirth Plan; at most, they are just failed attempts from its early stages. Aside from the initial records, hardly anyone regards them as related to the Rebirth Plan," Cyrie answered straightforwardly, "And even if there are adverse effects, can they be worse than she is right now? I have scanned her condition. Although I can’t identify the cause, it’s clear she’s on the brink of collapse. You might be worried about using certain treatment methods because of their potential adverse consequences, but it can’t possibly be worse than her imminent death."

"Death is only of the body, but adverse consequences might affect the soul," Pannis insisted, "I have my doubts ..."

"Pannis, stop it." Vivian timely prevented Pannis from continuing, "She has a point. I choose to accept. Cyrie, could you please lead us to the treatment device? Thank you." (To be continued.
