NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 286 Goodbye Grun

He possesses tremendous power.

However, he seems to be broken and always hurts the people around him.

He tried very hard to be a good boy.

But he did not become a good boy smoothly.

Others said they no longer needed him!

He was thrown into the deep sea.

He called out from the deep sea:

mom

mom

mom

mom

~~

His voice has never reached his mother's ears...】

……

"Big brother!?"

Feeling Ye Feng's breath suddenly become stronger, Feio asked cautiously.

Ye Feng lowered his head and smiled, giving Feio a reassuring look.

right now,

The quantum server is him, he is the quantum server.

He moved and instantly appeared on the coast.

The whole person floated in the air, staring quietly at the huge monster in front of him.

The monster sensed a strong breath.

It looked carefully and found that the scent was actually coming from the little bug in front of it.

Even more exasperating,

This insect seemed to be looking at him with pity.

howl! ! !

The monster roared angrily, and raised a huge tentacle high up, with the force of a mountain pressing down on it.

Smashing the small bugs floating in the air heavily,

The shadow got closer and closer, and the sunlight was blocked by the huge tentacles.

"Go to hell!"

The insect's stillness made it even angrier.

The strength of the tentacles also increased, and it seemed that the insect in front of it was about to be crushed.

Boom~

suddenly,

Its tentacles suddenly exploded right under his gaze, and were blown to pieces.

It turned into starlight and dissipated in space.

It let out a sharp scream in pain. The powerful shock wave made it stagnate and then retreat several steps.

It fell into the sea, splashing waves that reached the sky.

Ye Feng looked at the monster in front of him as if he were a dead person.

He only used less than 0.1% of his energy to inflict such a heavy blow to the monster.

At the same time, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart. Why didn't the quantum server set up an active firewall to defend against the data signals of these mechanical life forms?

The giant beast adjusted its body and slowly stood up on the shore.

It suddenly felt a sense of panic.

This man seemed to be enough to kill it.

The huge red eyes stared at the man in front of him.

Suddenly, it seemed to have discovered something, and an expression of fear appeared on its face.

"It's you!?"

"Um!?"

Hearing the monster's roar, Ye Feng raised his right hand and it hung in the air.

He looked at the giant beast in front of him with great interest, wondering what it could say.

"you know me?"

The monster seemed to be stuck in some memory, with a horrified expression.

Gradually turned into anger.

Then, its huge body trembled, and it howled to the sky.

Let out a roar that pierced the heavens and the earth:

"Artificial man! Unforgivable!

Mechanical life form! Unforgivable! "

Then,

There are dozens of red prisms of various sizes on its body, emitting dazzling red light.

The sounds of charging echoed in the space.

In an instant,

Dozens of thick red laser beams quickly attacked Ye Feng.

Submerge his figure.

"Go to hell!"

Not seeing the man, it felt a little secretly happy.

suddenly,

A sharp sword energy came towards it at an extremely high speed, cutting its laser beam in half and heading straight for the center of its own path.

"not good!"

A thin layer of pale yellow shield appeared around it, trying to block the incoming sword energy.

Keng~

Rumble~

The sword energy was blocked by its body.

Of course, the prisms on his chest were completely destroyed, and a wound hundreds of meters deep appeared in front of his body.

"Can we talk properly?"

It felt a huge pain and looked at the man floating in the air, panting.

"what do you want!"

Seeing the little bug in front of him showing a playful expression, he gently weighed the sword in his hand, which was thinner than a toothpick, and said slowly:

"I'm very curious about you! You can actually speak consciously, and you seem to have seen me before."

"Humph! Despicable androids...you...Ah!!!"

The voice has not fallen,

Several flashes of cold light flashed, and the remaining thick hands were all cut off.

Now I am like a bare pillar.

One pillar supports the sky.

"Let me teach you what polite speech is!"

The man said expressionlessly.

"All right……"

It is now like a lamb to be slaughtered, having lost all effective means of attack.

Gradually became well-behaved.

His eyes also became clear.

"I can't remember clearly. I vaguely remember a mannequin that looked exactly like you, operating a banned fusion weapon, blowing my body to pieces.

I don’t know how long it took, but my data slowly woke up in this space, and continued to integrate and restore to this state. ”

The giant beast looked at the man in front of him cautiously.

It feels

The man in front of him seemed different from the artificial humans he had seen before.

Unlike the guy who used the nuclear bomb before, he just took action without saying anything.

Nor, like their companions who had deserted them, would they ever communicate with themselves.

and,

The person in front of him would not suddenly attack him.

"An artificial human like me?" Ye Feng murmured.

Why, no impression at all?

Before waking up, this past did not exist in the implanted virtual memory.

Likewise, I was only created for 10 days...

Never mind. It doesn’t matter. 】

Ye Feng shook his head and pointed his sword at the 'Sky-supporting Black Pillar' in front of him.

Said coldly:

"Submit! Or, die!"

"Well!?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words,

It realized that there seemed to be a glimmer of hope for survival.

If this self is erased again, it may really be dead.

I am not like other mechanical life forms that can be resurrected with the help of backup data.

"I surrender!"

Even though it was extremely reluctant, it still lowered its head.

"Ha, good boy!"

Seeing that it surrendered so easily, Ye Feng was surprised, so he praised it generously and then put away his sword.

If this guy existed in reality, it would be such a terrible thing.

Only here, I have the fighting power to crush it and make it talk to me.

Ye Feng thought about it.

Then, with a thought, the giant beast in front of him was shocked.

Add a layer of code to its underlying logic that can never be tampered with.

Subsequently,

The monster's mountain-like body shrank rapidly, becoming as tall as a child, and its tentacles grew back.

"From now on, I will follow you, okay?" The little beast's voice no longer contained any roar, but actually sounded like a little boy.

Ye Feng felt surprised.

This contrast seems a bit big!

The little beast waved its tentacles and made babyish sounds.

"Um, can you transform into a human form?"

"Huh!? Humanoid?"

The tiny tentacles touched the bald head, and it seemed to be lost in thought.

"I...seem to have eaten a lot of people's dreams. Who should I become?"

uh~

Forget it. Ye Feng waved his hand and the beast's figure became ethereal.

Finally, it transformed into the appearance of a boy.

This was the appearance Ye Feng saw in the mountain village when he first entered the scarecrow statue. It was the boy who protected his younger brother from the imperial soldiers.

at the same time,

He seemed to sense something, and a golden light flew out of his hand automatically and penetrated into the boy's body.

There seemed to be the power of the soul in it.

It was implanted into the little beast's personality to supplement its original personality.

The boy in front of him had a determined expression.

"Thank you! I feel like... I understand something..."

The boy looked around with curiosity, and Ye Feng felt something in his heart.

He gently touched the boy's head and asked, "Do you have a name?"

"What's your name?" the boy asked doubtfully, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Three words come to mind:

【Grün】

That was the name given to him by his mother who abandoned him a long time ago.

uh~

Looking at the boy's confused expression,

Ye Feng thought for a while, then said:

"From now on, your name is Ye Xiaozhang.

I hope you can behave like a real person, like a man, and show your true manliness in your actions and behaviors.

Hmm! From now on, I will be called Ye Xiaozhang. From now on, I will not use the name Gruen anymore."

The boy's eyes became firm.

"Your name is Gruen?" Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "Then I'll just call you by your real name from now on."

"No, that name belongs to the past! The boy gritted his teeth and shook his head firmly."

"Well, Grün!"

Ye Xiaozhang then asked softly, "Big brother, can I go with you?"

Hearing this, Fio beside him showed a look of longing.

Those big watery eyes looked at Ye Feng pitifully.

Ye Feng touched his chin, investigated for a while, and shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, Feio pouted and a hint of disappointment flashed across her face.

But it quickly disappeared.

“The barrier cannot be broken, so I can’t take you out for the time being.

Like this."

Ye Feng called Fio and Levania.

"Feio, what do you think? Should we let him follow you first from now on?"

Levania and Fio looked at each other and nodded.

Feio walked over cautiously and stared at the boy called Ye Xiaozhang in a daze.

Then she stretched out her little hand to the boy.

"Hello there!"

Ye Xiaozhang was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his hand tremblingly, gently held Feiou's small hand, and said weakly:

"You... hello!"

Hehe! Feiou smiled softly: "My name is Feiou, and this monster is called Leivania. Please take care of me in the future..."
