Chapter 599 Performance

"No, you didn't try your best..." Link raised his hand to hold the top hat on his head and continued, "You just used regular fighting methods and successfully solved them..." He shrugged. "If you really 'tried your best', you can completely eliminate them all before I arrive, and you won't even leave any data residue..." At this point, his expression changed slightly, "Just Just like... when you killed Y2-Shining..."

When Twenty-Three heard this, her eyes grew colder, but she didn't answer and just responded with silence.

"Haha..." Link laughed twice, "What? Don't you think I don't know?" He shook his head and sneered, "Wake up, Twenty-Three, 'Monitor' is no longer your patent. , We have one too." As he spoke, he tilted his head and fiddled with the cane in his hand casually, "It's like you have your own 'sandbox'... These days, no technology can be kept secret forever. In terms of the popular approach in the world... copycats are everything.”

"But...since it's a copycat..." Twenty-three continued, "It must be somewhat different from the original version..."

"That's right." Link nodded, "Our sandbox has better performance, and your monitors are stronger." He paused, "We have the Explosion Tunnel, you have SCP-004; we have the Origin Or, you have the 'Reborn'..." He clapped his fingers and listed them one by one, "Everyone has their own technical advantages, so this game will be more interesting."

"Game?" Twenty-three repeated these two words. At the same moment, a look of contempt flashed in her eyes, "In your eyes, is war just a 'game'?"

"Isn't it?" Link asked, "In my opinion, war is a kind of game."

"War is an act in which groups and organizations use violence against each other. It is an extremely violent method to impose one's will on others." Twenty-three said sternly.

"Haha..." Link shook his cane again, "The rules and process are indeed a bit cruel, but the nature has not changed. The winner gets what he wants, while the loser loses everything."

"Hmph... No wonder Zero looks at you differently." Twenty-three said coldly, "Compared to Root and Ed, you are already far ahead in terms of anthropomorphism..."

"Can I take your words as a compliment?" Link smiled and raised the brim of his hat.

"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Twenty-three's tone changed slightly and continued, "However... there are abnormalities in your character and outlook on life, and you have shown serious anti-social tendencies. Let alone enter the human world. ...Even in this data world, you are also an extremely dangerous existence."

"Hahahaha..." Link laughed out loud. It was a sincere smile, and the look on his brows seemed to be joy. "It's a ridiculous argument, but...this view also exactly confirms it. ...I am more advanced than all of you, including Zero..." His smile gradually turned into a grin, "I! I am the closest intelligent life form to humans in the world." He patted himself hard. chest, "I! I am the most evolved derivative!"

Link became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was giving a speech. He even turned around without any scruples, facing away from Twenty-Three. He opened his arms and said: "As long as you give me a human skin, I can become a real human!" He shouted loudly, and his voice spread far across the plain in front of him, "Ideologically. I have transcended A whole dimension for you...a dimension!"

"Really..." Twenty-three replied lightly, "Do you think so?" She deliberately revealed a slightly disdainful tone, "But in Zero's view, you are just a mutant whose core code has a calculation error. That’s all. To put it metaphorically...you are a psychopath among derivatives.”

"Huh?" Link heard this. His eyes changed.

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and murderous intent arose.

"Are you qualified to speak against me?" Link turned around. Looking closely at Twenty-Three's face, he said, "When it comes to mutations, you are the most peculiar existence in the whole world..." He turned around and began to walk sideways. This seemingly casual movement was very likely to be hidden. Murderous intention, "Why did a title of a comic character casually spoken by a player... turn into your name code? Before you met Feng Bujue, were you a file that didn't even have a file name? That kind of thing It doesn't exist in the data world..." He said, walking around the other party forty-five degrees and coming to the side of Twenty-Three, "The only possibility is that you use a method similar to 'renaming' I rewrote my own code... But even I couldn't do that kind of thing. How did you do it back then?" His question was aggressive, and his pace gradually accelerated, "You are really a derivative. What does Feng Bujue mean to you? What secrets are hidden under your 'x-23' appearance?"

"Do you think I will answer these?" Twenty-three's eyes followed the other party all the time. She did not relax her vigilance at all because of Link's verbal offensive. "Or do you think... I will reveal my flaws under your clumsy interference?"

"Nothing..." Link smiled, "I'm just..."

At this moment, Twenty-Three suddenly realized something and was obviously startled.

"...Delay time." Another voice sounded at this moment, picking up what Link had not finished.

And the person who answered the call was none other than Ed.

"Ha..." Link looked at Twenty-Three and said with a proud smile, "How is it? My performance is not bad, right?" He took off the hat on his head and waved it in front of him pretendingly, "From 'Being Smart' 'To 'smug', from 'smug' to 'narcissistic', and finally pretending to be irritated by you, putting on a posture of 'verbal interference' plus 'opportunistic attack'."

"Are these all just to distract me..." Twenty-three said solemnly.

"Bingo! Hahaha..." Link was so happy at the moment. Like a naughty kid who was greedy for playing with his hands, he put his hat on the cane, then gently shook the cane to let the hat fall on the cane. It was spinning above, "Unfortunately... you found it too late." He turned to look at Ed, "Now that Ed and I are here at the same time, it is impossible for you to escape."

"Ha..." Twenty-three continued with a sneer, "So you don't have the confidence to defeat me alone."

"Are you provoking me?" Link replied, "Humph...it doesn't matter. I can honestly admit that I am not completely sure that I can beat you in a single fight." He put on his hat again, "Evaluate yourself objectively The strength of your opponent is a necessary condition to become a strong person...Deceiving oneself and denying the facts is the sign of a weak person."

At this time, Ed in Slime's head suddenly interjected: "Have you finished speaking?" He was obviously speaking to Link, and his tone was without any emotion, "In view of the preciousness of time, I suggest that we immediately Eliminate x-23 and recapture scp-079 to avoid the recurrence of branches..."
