Millennium Tension

"Nee, Neilie. Is that an advanced security system? To keep out intruders?"

"Neilie, what pillar is there? That looks cool."

"Neilie, Neilie, where are we going for our next visit?"

"Neilie, I'd like to see a resource energy reactor core. Can we go over there?"

"Haha, that sounds good. Hey, Neilie, why are you looking gloomy? You're a bad tour guide. Your pay will be cut if you don't work properly."

After touring for some time, Neilie ended up being a poor woman. She needed to accompany this rich young master with his girls and their constant babbling.

It had never happened in her life that she felt as helpless and irritated as this but couldn't express it. Just because the other person was not an ordinary person.

Their tour hadn't taken more than two hours to visit and see the world's latest technology at the EO Technology Center. Still, the tour guide was looking lackluster, as if she wanted to resign and run away from this job.

"You, argh! Why can't you behave a little? You and your girls! This facility isn't just any place you can visit and explore, you know? You can only visit up to level three access rights areas." Neilie delivered her protest to the only real human on the tour group, namely Aizen.

"Huh? What do you mean? We are people who obey the rules and do not violate anything. We even drive safely for the common interest. When the rules say red, then we stop. if it is green, then it is a sign that we can step on the gas." Aizen wore a clueless expression.

"Right?" Then, Aizen looked at his girl with a mischievous smile.

"Hehe, yes." The girls giggled but replied in unison. They collaborated to irritate the tour guide with their ridiculous behavior.

"En, I drive. I'm a good girl. I even turned down an invitation to race at a traffic light." Ana nodded with a smile to strengthen the evidence. They were well-behaved and rule-abiding citizens.

"Uh, you, whatever. We've reached the level three area. You can't pass to the level four area, let alone level five, for the energy reactor. We'd better go back to the level two or one areas if you want to continue with your quick tour." Neilie once again relented and sighed silently. She was outnumbered, and they were unified. There was no chance for her to win the argument.

"Oh? We've arrived at the level three area? It doesn't feel like it's here. We haven't visited that many places. Can't you contact your supervisor for permission to the level four or five areas? We'll obey the rules, just for us, pretty please? " Axel drew closer to Neilie.

She held the female artificial human's hand as if she wouldn't let go of it until her request was fulfilled. Well, Neilie was a tier 8 artificial human working in a level three area in this place.

"Uhh, don't do this again. Please let go of my hand. If it can't, then it won't. It doesn't matter what you do or what I do for you. Those gates are the end of your tour, and you won't be able to get through it. You cannot explore any further. " Neilie tried to free her hand, but she couldn't.

After saying that, Neilie spoke in a mosquito-like voice. "After all, this level three area is where I work. I haven't even entered the level four area, let alone five..."

Unfortunately, even though the voice was barely audible, that didn't mean it was overlooked by Aizen and his girls. Instead, it sounded so evident with the senses they had.

"Ho? This area is where you work? So, that was your co-worker, hmm. Aren't you happy to be able to accompany us on our tour while your co-workers are working hard?" Aizen glanced downwards from the railing of the bridge above the energy lab. He saw people, artificial humans, and robots working in various fields of expertise.

"Sigh... Isn't it because of you I wasn't there to work?" Neilie also glanced toward her coworkers. She needed to finish this tour soon, and she could return to her noble work.

For the time being, she could only be patient in one more hour, and she could be free from this lecherous young master and his girlfriends.

"Hey, Neilie. If we can't get into the level four or five area, can you explain a little bit about what's there? Information on that isn't available. You've been working here for years. Please share a little information for the ignorant us." Aizen suddenly spoke.

"Hmph! Of course not, you moron. You think this is a normal place, huh? Down there is the birthplace of your girlfriends, and further down there is Eol's main server." Neilie snorted mockingly. She kindly told about things that were secret to the public but common to the upper echelons.

"Hmm, is that so? So, level four is where tier 9 and tier 10 artificial humans are made? Then, level five is Eol's blue room... I see." Aizen nodded in understanding. He just got new information.

The manufacturing laboratory he visited as the first destination only created tier 1 to tier 5 robots. In addition, there was also the place to create tier 6 to tier 8 artificial humans with unique technology.

However, the most secretive thing about the place with the name Elden Manufacturing Laboratory was the human cloning lab. The only lab that produced real humans from cloning even though the success rate was not much.

This time, a piece of information about another place came, and it was here. Somewhere that was not listed even on the Intelligence Agency's internal server.

The place could be called the most sensitive than the others. Just because those two places were the only factory where all these living units were produced.

Because of this, Aizen became eager to visit the level four area as well. Apart from visiting Eol in person, of course. The thing that brought them here was in the level five area.

"Hmm, alright." After saying that, Aizen strolled through the mechanical gate leading to the level four area.

"Hey, where are you going, dear guest? I told you you can't go there and you won't gain access to it. Only high-level people who hold authority can go to areas level four and five. That also needs permission from Eol, otherwise then impossible." Neilie hastily caught up with Aizen. She reminded him of what she warned a while ago.

"Yeah, just watch. I know what I'm doing." Aizen ignored the woman who spoke rapidly beside him.

He just walked closer to the panel on the wall next to the mechanical gate to do something. He would do a little hack to send a particular message to the security system set up by Eol, to the main Artificial Intelligence that covers all cities in the world.

Meanwhile, Neilie didn't even know what Aizen was doing at the time. All she saw was a complex sequence of codes that worked in a flash as soon as the holographic screen panel came into contact with Aizen's smart-pen.

'We're here. Guests from outside the world come to visit to communicate in secret with the system that governs this world order. We come in peace, and please don't provoke us. Something like Erast City's disappearance from the world map could happen at any time.' Aizen muttered as he sent the same coded message to the central server deep underground.

He knew Eol was smart enough to realize the message and threat. Although it was the quickest and safest direct way to meet the existence most worth visiting.

Aizen and his girls didn't need to meet humans if there was the technology that they could visit. Broadly speaking, they were also products of the technology with systems.

Technology would meet a distant relative, a product similar to what Aizen made over a thousand years ago. Perhaps, Eol would be a bit like the Axel Goddess in this world.

At the same time, Aizen immediately connected to Eol's primary system. The latter immediately responded to the former as soon as an encrypted message entered the central data via a secret line.

Eol would be too stupid if he didn't realize the background of this message. This message conveyed that there was something foreign that had arrived here and would visit. Besides, that existence could break into his system and hack it for this message... A way to hack from the impossible and the threat was beyond obvious.

Hence, Eol granted the request sent from the internal security system immediately. He didn't dare to risk anything too dangerous against this world. If that existence could hack the impossible and moved as they pleased, even under the supervision of the entire security system and himself, then that was clear.

A dangerous existence with technology more sophisticated than this world... However, those existences came in peace... Even so, Eol didn't wholly believe it either. Far below, an exclusive venue was immediately set up to receive guests with lots of precautions for the worst-case scenario.
