雪躺在床上，滑手機。
她在終點審判庭中，被標示的代號是 NO24。
社群一篇一篇推送。
今天是休假日。
『無聊。...』
她看了一眼一旁的時鐘。
『下午。』
看了一眼窗外漸漸柔和的陽光。
『現在去買冰淇淋...不用排隊。』
『大概。』
她翻身坐起來。
身上依然是一套全黑的裝束，即使沒有戰術服那麼高調。
『走吧。去看看今天的優惠口味。』
房門關上了。
一道詭異的能量卻在這裡聚集。
然後飛快的成為一道全黑的光芒。
一名女子出現。
黑衣服。
全黑。
她悠哉的走到NO24的床邊，拿起桌上的筆記任意翻了起來。
『偵測到隱私警告，請勿執行違反終點規範行為。窺探時軸個體隱私。』
系統提示在腦海響起。
「...」她只是輕輕一笑。
那麼不看了。
嘴裡含著的冰藍色棒棒糖，輕輕轉動著。
「雪。特別受到關注的版本。」
「開始介入。」
「任務隱私權限，NO1，時軸剝離，啟動。」
『任務接受。』OFF2。
『現場時軸複製完畢，確認可進行副本化。可以回來了，OFF5。』
「...嗯。」她只是安靜的回應了一聲。
帶著那道黑色光芒，憑空消失。

NO24 lay on her bed, scrolling through her phone.
Within the Ending Judgement Court, NO24 was the designation assigned to her.
One social media post after another appeared on her screen. She scrolled past them with little interest.
It was her day off.
'Boring...'
She glanced at the clock beside her bed.
'Afternoon.'
Then she turned toward the window. The sunlight outside had begun to soften, casting a pleasant warmth across the room.
'If I go get ice cream now... there shouldn't be a line.'
'Probably.'
That was enough to make the decision.
NO24 rolled over and sat up, putting her phone aside. She was already dressed entirely in black. Even without her usual tactical gear, her preference for dark clothing remained unmistakable.
'Let's go. See what flavors are on sale today.'
A moment later, the bedroom door closed behind her.
The room fell quiet.
But not for long.
An unusual concentration of energy began gathering in the empty space.
There was no sound, no warning. The energy rapidly condensed, twisting into a streak of pure black light.
And then—
A woman appeared.
Black clothes.
Completely black.
She stood there as casually as though appearing out of thin air in someone else's bedroom were the most ordinary thing in the world.
Without any apparent urgency, she wandered over to NO24's bed.
A notebook rested on the nearby desk.
She picked it up and began flipping through the pages.
'Privacy violation detected. Accessing the private information of a timeline individual is prohibited under Ending regulations.'
The system warning sounded directly inside her mind.
"..."
A faint smile touched her lips.
Well, then.
She closed the notebook and put it back.
No need to read it.
An ice-blue lollipop rested between her lips. She slowly rolled it with her tongue, entirely untroubled by the warning.
"Icy. A version receiving special attention."
She paused, the lollipop shifting slightly.
"Beginning intervention."
Her voice remained quiet and unhurried.
"Mission privacy authorization. NO1. Timeline separation. Activate."
A response arrived through her consciousness.
'Mission accepted.'
OFF2.
A second message followed almost immediately.
'Local timeline copy complete. Instance creation confirmed. You can come back now, OFF5.'
"...Mm."
That was all she said.
The same black light gathered around her once more.
And just as quietly as she had appeared, OFF5 vanished into thin air.

總部隊或雪兔伺服器並不知情這件事。
OFF1系統的演練啟動，其權限在總部隊之上。可說是與NO1系統平級。
OFF1系統並不歸屬NO1系統管轄，這正是為了預防NO1系統的內部邏輯演算瑕疵，而存在的外部演練挑戰。
敵對演練挑戰。
她們甚至沒有注意到，當時天王星雪讓NO6進入沙盒的『代打』行為已經觸發系統的進階調查。
而，她們甚至無法察覺到OFF1演練組織對NO24的接觸與時軸版本管理。
那都是因為OFF1本質高於總部隊。
OFF1甚至因為其本身具有的紅隊演練身份，全員皆直接由系統認證提供了NO1階級權限。
然而。
這樣的身份並不代表OFF1的執行官就如系統預期的機能良好。
也許正因為她們的身份。
機能甚至有些...微妙。
ChatGPT
Neither the Headquarters Division nor the Snow Rabbit Server had any knowledge of what had happened.
The OFF1 System operated with authority exceeding that of the Headquarters Division. In fact, it stood on equal footing with the NO1 System itself.
OFF1 was not subordinate to NO1.
Its independence was deliberate.
The system existed as an external simulation framework, designed to challenge the NO1 System and identify potential flaws in its internal logic and computational processes.
An adversarial simulation.
Neither organization had even noticed that Uranus Icy's decision to let NO6 enter the sandbox and complete the battles on her behalf had triggered an advanced system investigation.
Nor could they detect the OFF1 simulation organization's contact with NO24, or its management of timeline versions.
All of this was possible because OFF1 operated at an authority level fundamentally above the Headquarters Division.
Furthermore, by virtue of its designated role as a red team simulation system, every OFF1 Executive Officer had been directly certified and granted NO1-level authority by the system itself.
However.
Possessing such authority did not necessarily mean that OFF1's Executive Officers functioned as well as the system might have expected.
Perhaps it was precisely because of their unusual status.
Their functionality was, in certain respects...
A little questionable.

雪（NO24）站在冰淇淋櫃面前。
『今日優惠！ 覆盆子冰淇淋！』
「一杯優惠。」
「謝謝。」接下冰淇淋杯。
微笑，顯著的微笑。
她拿著冰淇淋杯，很快找到一處空位坐下。
『太棒了。』
一勺一勺的，她吃的相當緩慢。
細細的將口味留在心中。
「我可以坐這裡？」一個女性的聲音從旁傳來。
雪抬頭。
『複製人組織！』她一眼就認出面前是先前夢裡出現的那名霜白髮色女人身邊的另一個可疑女人。
『但她的頭髮。...突然染成白色嗎？』
就她對那場怪異夢境的回憶。
應該是淺黃帶著粉色髮尾才對。
『也許為了隱瞞身份變裝了。』
『我認得出來。』
『所以那不是夢？』
她想去按下上衣領口附近隨身攜帶的密錄器。
但似乎太明顯。
慢慢來。
「請隨意。」雪裝出若無其事的回應。
對方坐了下來。
從提袋中拿出一盒冰淇淋。
雪眨了眨眼，視線停在冰淇淋上。
蓋子打開了。
她甚至微微拉長脖子試著看清楚內容物，本能的。
『嗆嗆的味道。』
『高彩度紅色。』
『那是什麼口味？甜椒？不。...』
「是辣椒口味？」雪開口。
「厲害。」女性慧黠的一笑。
「...」雪顯然很感興趣。
女子吃了一口。
又一口。
『...』雪吞了口水，她看向自己的覆盆莓冰淇淋。
也非常棒，但是，她曾經吃過了。
而那個可疑的女人手上的顯然是全新體驗。
「請問，那是哪裡賣的？在附近嗎？」
「...不遠。」女子緩緩抬頭。
「我可以帶妳去。」
「請務必。」雪的目光堅決。
ChatGPT
NO24 stood in front of the ice cream counter.
Today's Special! Raspberry Ice Cream!
Her eyes settled on the sign.
"One cup of the special, please."
"Thank you."
She accepted the cup of ice cream with a smile.
A very noticeable smile.
Holding her precious purchase, she quickly found an empty seat and settled down.
'Wonderful.'
She took her time, enjoying one spoonful after another. Each bite was slow and deliberate, allowing the flavor to linger on her tongue.
There was no reason to rush.
"Mind if I sit here?"
A woman's voice came from beside her.
NO24 looked up.
'The clone organization!'
She recognized the woman immediately.
It was one of the suspicious women from that strange dream—the one who had appeared alongside another woman with frost-white hair.
'But her hair... Did she suddenly dye it white?'
As far as NO24 remembered, the woman's hair had been pale yellow, with pink at the tips.
'Maybe she's disguised herself to hide her identity.'
'I recognize her, though.'
'So that wasn't a dream?'
Her first instinct was to reach for the concealed recorder she carried near the collar of her shirt.
But that would be far too obvious.
'Take it slow.'
"Go ahead," NO24 replied, carefully maintaining an air of indifference.
The woman sat down.
She reached into her shopping bag and took out a container of ice cream.
NO24 blinked.
Her attention settled on the container.
The woman opened the lid.
Without even thinking about it, NO24 leaned forward slightly, stretching her neck to get a better look.
'A sharp, spicy smell.'
'Bright red. Really bright.'
'What flavor is that? Bell pepper? No...'
"Is that chili-flavored ice cream?" she asked.
"Impressive."
The woman gave her a sly little smile.
"..."
NO24 was visibly interested.
The woman took a spoonful.
Then another.
'...'
NO24 swallowed.
She looked down at her own raspberry ice cream.
It was wonderful.
Absolutely wonderful.
But she had tasted raspberry ice cream before.
What that suspicious woman was eating, on the other hand, was clearly an entirely new experience.
"Excuse me. Where did you buy that? Is it somewhere nearby?"
"...Not far."
The woman slowly raised her head.
"I can take you there."
"Please. Absolutely."
NO24's gaze was unwavering.

『特地染髮變裝，卻堅持不換下貓耳造型的帽子。』雪跟在女人身後，已經暗暗開啟密錄器。
『這些人並不聰明。』她的結論。
轉過幾條巷子，一家小小的，連櫥窗也沒有的店鋪。
只掛著一個極其可疑的招牌。
『ICE CREAM OFF』
似乎店名就叫這樣。
『可疑的店名。
看來雪被鎖定為目標。
複製人組織甚至偽裝成冰淇淋店了。』
她非常謹慎。
即使表面上依然裝出神色自若。
女人推開門。
簡潔的吧檯，裡面還有三個人。
她立刻注意到其中一個。
『是那天一起吃冰淇淋的、高的那一個可疑女人！』
她又看了看另外兩位。
一位坐在角落的位子，抬頭看了她一眼，繼續使用眼前的筆電。
一位站在吧檯後方，可能是店長或是之類的。
這些人的髮色全都很白。
包含那個一起吃冰的高的女人。
『怎麼比印象的更白了？』
『這麼樸實的變裝程度。
可能不難對付。』雪很快判斷完畢。
ChatGPT
‘She went to the trouble of dyeing her hair for a disguise, but still insists on wearing that cat-eared cap.’
NO24 followed the woman from a short distance behind. She had already discreetly activated the concealed recorder near her collar.
‘These people aren't very smart.’
That was her conclusion.
After turning down several alleys, they arrived at a tiny shop without so much as a display window.
Above the entrance hung a sign bearing an extremely suspicious name.
ICE CREAM OFF
Apparently, that was what the shop was called.
‘Suspicious name.’
‘Looks like I'm being targeted.’
‘The clone organization has even disguised itself as an ice cream shop.’
NO24 remained highly cautious.
Outwardly, however, she maintained an expression of perfect composure.
The woman pushed open the door.
Inside was a simple counter, with three other women present.
NO24 immediately recognized one of them.
‘It's her! The tall, suspicious woman who was eating ice cream with the other one that day!’
She turned her attention to the remaining two.
One sat in a corner. She briefly looked up at NO24, then returned to working on the laptop in front of her.
The other stood behind the counter, possibly the shop's owner or manager.
NO24 examined them carefully.
Their hair was all remarkably white.
Even the tall woman who had been eating ice cream that day.
‘Why is her hair even whiter than I remember?’
She considered the situation.
‘Such basic disguises.’
‘They probably won't be too difficult to deal with.’
NO24 quickly reached her conclusion.

同一時間。
由於上一次，雪回報的可疑霜髮色女人的事情，和她自己的可疑的夢境。
這一次密錄器已經接上了即時無線通報。
「是雪，她遇上了什麼。」白說。
「我們看看。」黑。
影像很快傳來。
「不。等等。」黑嚴肅。
她拿起電話，輸入簡訊，發送給雪。
白也看見了。
因為鏡頭上，其中一個入鏡的人『可是目光直直盯著鏡頭』，即使正在使用筆電，但那目光非常直接。
『離開辦公室時，妳忘了關冷氣。』雪收到簡訊。黑傳過來的。
『...被抓到了。』雪不動聲色。
她走向吧台，看向上方懸掛的電子菜單。
第一排，最常見的口味。
第二排，有點意思。
奇異果冰淇淋？
她的心情好轉。
第三排，驚人的。
皮蛋冰淇淋？
她嘴角露出顯著的微笑。
苦茶冰淇淋？
醃黃瓜冰淇淋？
麻婆冰淇淋？
辣椒冰淇淋？
第四排，一樣令人驚艷。
但首先。
「辣椒冰淇淋一杯，謝謝。」她的笑容實在明顯。
吧台後方的女子，帶著黑色鴨舌帽，嘴裡還叼著棒棒糖。
微妙的看了雪一眼，轉身走向後方的儲藏室。
完好的一盒。
「給妳。」
「謝謝。」雪按照菜單上的價格付了錢。
拿著冰淇淋走到空位上坐下。
貓兒帽的可疑女人已經不知道去哪。
那是次要的。
『辣椒冰淇淋。』
『我開動了。』
『有毒的話，黑會過來吧？』
即使被抓到了。
密錄器還是可以開著。

Meanwhile.
Following NO24's earlier report about the suspicious frost-haired woman and her own strange dream, her concealed recorder had now been connected to a live wireless reporting system.
"It's Icy. She's run into something," N.White said.
"Let's take a look," D.Dark replied.
The video feed came through almost immediately.
"No. Wait."
D.Dark's expression turned serious.
She picked up her phone, typed a message, and sent it to NO24.
N.White had noticed it too.
One of the women appearing in the camera feed was staring directly into the lens.
She was still working on her laptop, but her gaze was unmistakable.
Direct.
Almost deliberately so.
A message appeared on NO24's phone.
'You forgot to turn off the air conditioner when you left the office.'
It was from D.Dark.
'...I've been spotted.'
NO24 gave no outward reaction.
She calmly approached the counter and looked up at the electronic menu hanging above it.
The first row contained the usual flavors.
Nothing particularly interesting.
The second row, however, caught her attention.
'Oh?'
'Kiwi ice cream?'
Her mood began to improve.
Then she reached the third row.
'...!'
Extraordinary.
'Century egg ice cream?'
A very noticeable smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
'Bitter tea ice cream?'
'Pickled cucumber ice cream?'
'Mapo ice cream?'
'Chili ice cream?'
And the fourth row was just as astonishing.
But first.
"One cup of chili ice cream, please. Thank you."
Her smile was impossible to miss.
Behind the counter stood a woman wearing a black baseball cap, a lollipop resting between her lips.
She gave NO24 a rather peculiar look.
Then she turned and disappeared into the storage room behind the counter.
When she returned, she was holding an intact, unopened container of ice cream.
"Here."
"Thank you."
NO24 paid the price displayed on the menu, accepted her purchase, and found an empty seat.
The suspicious woman with the cat-eared cap had vanished somewhere along the way.
That was a secondary concern.
'Chili ice cream.'
She looked down at the container.
'Time to eat.'
'If it's poisoned, D.Dark will come, right?'
After all, even if she had been spotted...
There was no reason to turn off the recorder.

『好吃。太驚人了。』微微的鹹味、爽口的辣度，沒想到辣椒能夠如此適當的成為冰淇淋成分。
且一點化學合成味道也沒有，難道不是人工香料嗎？
「品質...意外的好。」
『也許她們不是複製人組織。』
『也許我在做夢。』
她用冰淇淋勺的尾端戳了戳自己的手背。
『我想不是夢。』雪心想。

Meanwhile.
The woman working on the laptop was OFF2.
Her screen was connected to an Ending Civilization-level system, technology that should not even have existed in this era.

OFF2 continued operating the laptop in silence.
Meanwhile, NO24 was enjoying her ice cream.
'Delicious. This is incredible.'
A faint saltiness, followed by a refreshing, pleasant heat.
She had never imagined chili could work so well as an ingredient in ice cream.
And there wasn't even a trace of that artificial flavoring aftertaste.
'Could this really be made without artificial flavoring?'
"The quality... is surprisingly good."
She took another look at the ice cream.
'Maybe they're not a clone organization.'
'Maybe I'm dreaming.'
NO24 turned the spoon around and gently poked the back of her hand with its handle.
'...I don't think this is a dream.'

「皮蛋冰淇淋一杯，謝謝。」
雪將吃完的杯子放在吧台。
她還有太多太多都想嘗試。
那名女子的棒棒糖彷彿不會融化似的，怎麼還在她嘴上。
雪注意到這點。
或許她已經續了好幾根。
「皮蛋口味！」雪的神情非常明顯的雀躍。
她並不是那種『古典派』堅持者。
她喜歡任何可能的冰淇淋。
只要是新鮮、口味合理的，她都想試試。

而黑與白這裡依然觀察著傳送過來的畫面。
「那個組織有四個人。都存檔下來了。」黑說。

「確實是。或許雪是指吧台旁那個安靜的女人？」黑說對了。

但很遺憾。
那是OFF6。

"One cup of century egg ice cream, please. Thank you."
NO24 placed her empty cup on the counter.
There were still so many flavors she wanted to try.
The woman behind the counter still had that lollipop between her lips.
It was almost as if the thing never melted.
'How is she still eating that?'
NO24 noticed the oddity.
'Maybe she's already had several.'
Her attention quickly returned to the ice cream.
'Century egg flavor!'
Her excitement was written all over her face.
NO24 had never been particularly attached to traditional ice cream flavors.
She loved the possibilities of ice cream itself.
As long as a flavor was fresh, interesting, and made sense as something edible, she wanted to try it.
There was no reason to limit ice cream to the usual choices.
Meanwhile, D.Dark and N.White were still watching the incoming video feed.
"Four members in that organization. I've saved records of all four," D.Dark reported.
"Let's watch and see what they're planning," N.White replied.
Then she added something.
"But there's one problem..."
She studied the screen.
"I don't think anyone there actually looks like Icy."
"That's true. Maybe Icy was referring to that quiet woman beside the counter?" D.Dark suggested.
And D.Dark was right.
That woman was OFF6.
The same tall, suspicious woman NO24 believed to be one of the two women she had once shared ice cream with.
Unfortunately.
That woman was OFF6.

『我。的。天。』雪已經坐在位子上，剛吃下一勺皮蛋冰淇淋。

再來一口。
「情緒複雜的口味。」
她給完評價了。

她不能再吃了。
『可是楊桃冰淇淋...』

她坐在位子上，依依不捨的看著電子看板上那些等著她的口味。
此時，戴貓耳帽的可疑女人走了過來。
無論是什麼理由，從粉紅帽子改成黑色帽子，
卻不換掉貓耳造型都是拙劣的變裝。
雪想起這件事，又稍微警覺了起來。
然而。
她也不知道，眼前的女人真的不是那場夢裡對街的那一個。
「我是OFF3。」OFF3伸手稍微調整了一下帽子。
「有興趣入股ICE CREAM OFF 嗎？」她說。
「入股？」雪抬頭。
「成為這家店的大老闆之一，決策口味的供應和新品嘗試，如何？」

『等等，黑跟白，密錄器。...』
『臥底複製人組織的大好機會。』

'Oh. My. God.'
NO24 was already seated, having just taken her first spoonful of century egg ice cream.
The astonishment was written all over her face.
"Incredible."
Another spoonful.
"...Impressive."
Another.
"Deserves a place in the rankings."
One more.
"An emotionally complicated flavor."
That concluded her review.
Pickled cucumber ice cream.
Almond jelly ice cream.
Yogurt wine ice cream.
There were simply too many unusual flavors.
One cup after another.
Five cups later.
She couldn't eat any more.
'But the starfruit ice cream...'
'The garlic ice cream...'
She remained seated, gazing longingly at the electronic menu and all the flavors still waiting for her.
Just then, the suspicious woman wearing the cat-eared cap approached.
Whatever the reason, changing from a pink cap to a black one while keeping the cat ears was an incredibly poor disguise.
NO24 remembered that detail.
Her vigilance returned, if only slightly.
However.
What she didn't know was that the woman standing before her really wasn't the one she'd seen across the street in that dream.
"I'm OFF3."
OFF3 reached up and adjusted her cap slightly.
"Interested in investing in ICE CREAM OFF?" she asked.
"Investing?"
NO24 looked up.
"Becoming one of the major owners of this shop. You'd have a say in which flavors we offer and what new flavors we experiment with. How does that sound?"
"!!!!!! Really?!"
NO24 barely hesitated.
'Wait. D.Dark and N.White. The recorder...'
'A perfect opportunity to infiltrate the clone organization.'
"Please tell me all the details."
NO24 looked at OFF3 with unwavering determination.
