Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 009: Falling Again

"I've sent you his coordinates. Look for the Jasus Department there," Professor Han's message days after Ats returned to school, "Try using Arselan's ability to scan the department's related information. Ah, you need to remember. Do not use 3D configurations. It might still be too heavy and dangerous for you."

"I understand, Professor," Ats nodded, then checked his salary. A new message appeared there. He immediately asked Arselan to scan the coordinates. In addition to seeking information related to the Department of Jasus, his visit to the Scientific Library to train and develop his intelligence. After being taught directly by Professor Han for these few days, he began to understand some things about the system.

At first, it was easy and fine. Well, it's very easy because Ats lives looking and reading books. He was used to reading, even antique original books like in the big library. He had read it in the Asir Family's Heritage Library in his childhood. However, everything has gone awry ever since the "it" thing appeared.

"Arselan, is he still following me?" ats asked as he ran among the giant shelves filled with books. Breathing violently. Sweat was pouring down his forehead. He must escape from the mysterious droids that suddenly appear.

"The PP-147 device is within a 10-meter radius in the 7-way clockwise number" Arselan reported. He also showed a 2D digital map in the eyes of Ats. There is a red dot called PP-147 not far from the center. The red dot moved straight through the rectangular panels that were nothing but giant shelves in the library.

"Ck! The droid is cheating," complained Ats, "He can fly on a shelf."

"Invader found! Intruder found!" the noise shocked Ats. A breeze of wind blew from above his head followed by the smooth whirring sound of a flying machine. As he turned his head, he saw a droid floating not far above him.

"PP-147 device," Arselan identified the droid, "It is the 2nd generation indoor basic security device. He has several small arms to catch unwanted intruders ...."

"Ck! That droid almost ruined the book I just read. I would have trouble making up for the loss if I had damaged the inventory in this place," Ats grumbled as soon as he saw a gun muzzle appearing under the PP-147 body. His eyes observed the direction of the muzzle shot fixedly. When a shot was fired, he avoided it skillfully.

"That thing again! Hi, can we talk to you for a second?" Ats stared at the bullet he had dodged and stuck it perfectly on the floor. This library is very old. Such a needle has not been used for many years. Arselan immediately identified the bullet without waiting for orders.

"The anesthetist was identified" explained Arselan, "The bullet was a basic level weapon of paralysis. The target that was stung by him would not be able to move for a while. Although the liquid is not harmful to the body, it can cause temporary paralysis, muscle pain, and dizziness."

"Great!" Ats gritted his teeth because his request was unresponsive. PP-147 again sewot call it an intruder. He was very sick of his stiff voice and seemed old-fashioned for a security droid like PP-147.

"Invader found! Intruder found!" The PP-147 was unceasingly roaring. He fired a few more bullets. Ats dodged everything and continued running while looking for a way out. If he didn't have Arselan, he would be lost by now. The ancient Scientific Library was huge. Moreover, this was his first visit.

The sound of the droids was getting closer. In the 2D map that Arselan shows, the PP-147 is only five meters from Ats. That's a very short distance. If the ancient robot returned fire, Ats would definitely be very difficult.

"Warning!" Arselan notifies until it knocks Ats, "Unknown object detected. Carry out automatic identification."

"Ck! Don't surprise me" Ats grumbled. He heard a faint sound that seemed to be a sign that the PP-147 was ready to return fire. He ordered, "Let's find the way out the fastest and safest way. Don't let us get caught by those droids."

"Well, sir," Arselan received his order. He asked for permission to activate the 3D configuration. Not having much choice, Ats agreed. This is more efficient than using complex 2D maps. He won't have much time to figure his way out through 2D maps.

Ats follow every direction that Arselan points out. Surprisingly, the system pointed it at unidentified objects that had been detected. Unfortunately, he could not hesitate because the PP-147 continued to pursue him.

Ats continued to run while dodging the third wave shot. His breath is hunting. Fortunately, the droids coded early "MC" did not pay attention to it. It seemed, they were the devices that cared for the library. The library is very clean.

"A little more!" Ats turn at the intersection. He also saw a giant iron wooden door that was opened earlier. The door was still open a little, unchanged from the beginning.

"Armh!?"

Ats' head suddenly felt like it was electrocuted. He immediately asked Arselan to turn off the 3D configuration. After all, the door to the outside was already visible in plain sight.

Unfortunately, the pain does not necessarily disappear when the 3D configuration is turned off. It felt even more stinging every second. In fact, Ats had to get out immediately before PP-147 caught him.

"Worker found! Intruder found!" the roar of PP-147 made Ats' head even more painful. Somehow, he felt the door to the outside getting away, but he continued to run towards him.

"Ang ...!?"

A bullet stabbed right in Ats' left leg. The young man immediately fell. He could no longer feel his feet. His head was very dizzy, while his breathing was not bad. His eyes slowly blurred. Faintly, he saw PP-147 approaching him.

"Uncle, you told him to go into the Scientific Library, but forgot to give him a special identity card?" Iskandar patted his forehead, astonished by the recklessness of his highly intelligent uncle. "How is he now? He's down again, right?"

"Well, his condition has improved. There was no problem with his legs," explained Professor Han while staring at the screen on his thin device, "Neuron his particles are also normal. Everything still works well and smoothly. We just have to wait for him to wake up. Hah .. hopefully he's okay."

"I just found out that there's a security droid in the library. Ancient droid again," Iskandar also glanced at the screen of the device in his hand. There's a catalogue of second-generation droids there."Shouldn't all the second generation droids have been destroyed except the ones in the museum? If the Scientific Library had used the latest generation of droids, Ats wouldn't have been hurt like this."

"Either?" Professor Han shrugged both of his shoulders, "It was the will of the previous head of the academy. So we don't replace it at all. After all, the library was rarely visited."

"Lie," Iskandar slapped, "I knew that 'it' was there. Where is it that the library is rarely visited."

"The library and 'it' are two different things," Professor Han smiled knotfully, "We haven't used the library in a long time to get in there either."

"Ck," decak Iskandar paled with his careless uncle's rebuttal, "Anyway, make sure that Asir boy is safe."

"You don't have to worry, Prince," Professor Han deliberately used formal language to harass his nephew. It was funny to see that young man so emotional. The professor concluded a typical smile when he saw Iskandar out of his room while grumbling incoherently.
