"No, you didn't try your best …" Link adjusted his hat and continued, "You only used normal combat methods and easily dealt with them …" He shrugged. "If you really did try your best, you could have wiped them all out before I arrived, and not even a trace of data would be left behind …" At this point, his expression changed slightly. "Just like … when you killed Y2-TWINKLE …"
Hearing this, 23's eyes turned cold, but she didn't reply. She only responded with silence.
"Haha …" Link chuckled. "What? Do you think I don't know? " He shook his head and laughed coldly. "Wake up, 23, 'Watcher' is no longer a patent of your Z, we have it too." As he spoke, he tilted his head and casually played with the cane in his hand. "Just like how you have your own 'sandbox' … In this day and age, no technology can be kept a secret forever. To use the popular way of saying in the human world … pirated technology is omnipotent. "
"But … since it's pirated …" 23 opened her mouth at this time. "There must be some differences between it and the original …"
"That's right." Link nodded. "Our sandbox is better, and your Watcher is stronger." He paused for a moment. "We have the explosion tunnel, and you have SCP-004. We have the source-born, and you have the 'reborn' …" He counted on his fingers. "Everyone has their own technological advantage, and that will make this game more interesting."
"Game?" 23 repeated these two words. At the same time, a look of disdain flashed across her eyes. "In your eyes, war is just a 'game'?"
"Is it not?" Link asked back. "In my eyes, war is just a kind of game."
"War is an act of violence between groups and organizations. It is an extreme method of violence to impose one's will on others," 23 said sternly.
"Haha …" Link waved his cane again. "The rules and process are a bit cruel, but the nature of war hasn't changed. The winner gets what they want, and the loser loses everything."
"Hmph … No wonder ZERO looks at you differently," 23 said coldly. Number 23 said coldly, "Compared to Lute and Ed, you're way ahead of them in terms of anthropomorphism …"
"Can I take that as a compliment?" Link smiled and lifted the brim of his hat.
"I'm not done yet …" 23's tone changed slightly, and he continued, "However … there are abnormalities in your personality and worldview, and you have shown serious antisocial tendencies. Not to mention entering the human world … even in this world of data, you are an extremely dangerous existence. "
"Hahahaha..." Link laughed out loud. It was a sincere laugh, and his face was filled with joy. "What a ridiculous argument, but... this point of view also proves that... I am more advanced than all of you, including ZERO." His laughter gradually turned into a sinister grin. "Me! I am the intelligent life form that is closest to humans in this world. "He patted his chest hard." Me! That is the Anomaly with the highest evolution! "
The more Link spoke, the more excited he became. It was as if he was giving a speech. He even turned around without hesitation, facing away from 23, and opened his arms. "As long as you give me a human skin, I can become a real human!" He shouted, and his voice traveled far across the plains. "In terms of ideology, I have already surpassed all of you by an entire dimension … an entire dimension!"
"Is that so …" 23 replied softly. "Is that what you think?" She purposely revealed her condescending tone. "But from ZERO's perspective, you are just a mutant whose core code has made a calculation error. If I have to make an analogy … you are a mental patient among the Anomalies. "
"Hmm?" Hearing that, Link's eyes shifted.
Instantly, the atmosphere changed, and the murderous intent rose.
"Do you have the right to criticize me?" Lynk turned and glared at Twenty-Three's face. "If we're talking about mutations, you're probably the most unique existence in the entire Inner World …" He turned and began to pace sideways, a seemingly careless movement that was highly likely to conceal murderous intent. "Why would a comic character's name casually mentioned by a player … become your name code? Before you met Feng Bujue, were you a file that did not even have a name? That kind of thing does not exist in the world of data … "As he spoke, he had already circled around the man forty-five degrees to reach the twenty-third side." The only possibility is that you have used a method similar to 'renaming' to rewrite your own code … but even I am unable to do something like that, so how did you manage to do it back then? "His questions were relentless, and his footsteps picked up." Are you really an Anomaly? What does Feng Bujue represent to you? What kind of secret is hidden under your 'X-23' appearance? "
"Do you think I will answer that?" 23's eyes followed the man. She did not let her guard down because of Link's verbal attack. "Or do you think … I will be exposed by your clumsy interference?"
"Neither …" Link smiled. "I was just …"
At that moment, 23 suddenly realized something, and her whole body froze.
"… Buying time." Another voice spoke at that moment and finished Link's unfinished sentence.
And the one who spoke was Ed.
"Ha …" Link looked at 23 and smiled smugly. "How was it? My performance was not bad, right? " He took off the hat on his head and pretended to wave it in front of him. "From 'smart-aleck' to 'smugness', from 'smugness' to 'narcissism', and in the end, he pretended to be infuriated by you and put on a posture of 'verbal interference' and 'waiting for an opportunity to attack.'
"Was that all to distract me?" 23 asked darkly.
“Bingo！ Hahaha … "Link was too happy at this moment. Like a playful child, he put his hat on his cane and shook it lightly, making the hat spin on it." Unfortunately … you found out too late. "He turned to look at Ed." Now that both Ed and I are here, there is no way you can escape. "
"Ha …" 23 sneered. "So you don't have the confidence to beat me alone."
"Are you trying to provoke me?" Link asked. "Hmph … No matter. I can honestly admit that in a one-on-one fight, I really don't have a hundred percent confidence that I can beat you. " He put his hat back on. "Objectively evaluating one's own strength and the opponent's strength is a necessary condition to become a strong person … Deceiving oneself and denying the truth is a sign of weakness."
At that moment, Ed, who was on the slime head, suddenly interrupted. "Are you done?" His words were obviously directed at Link, and his tone was emotionless. "Since time is precious, I suggest that we eliminate X-23 immediately and take back SCP-079 to avoid any more complications …"
