NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 249: Traveling with Mechanical Creatures

In the White Hall,

A girl asked:

"You could have killed him!"

Another woman spoke in a voice like a silver bell. It was N2:

"I told you I would help you."

The shadow of the girl in gray was Assist 154. Her eyes turned red as she said in a deep voice:

"He's already dead. This guy in front of me is a complete fake. If you really want to help me, kill this guy in front of you!"

N2: "I'm sorry for standing idly by last time. You once told me that the way to save the world lies in him. I still want to try. It would be best if I can save him."

154: "Using this stupid method, you directly injected his memory. Regardless of the consequences, did you succeed?"

"No……"

…awkward silence…

"If they come, they will definitely be killed by him!"

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

"Aren't you afraid that they will unite to deal with you, a conceptual personality born of a so-called mechanical life form?"

"That's the best. I'm completely free."

"you!!!"

"I can now entrust all this to you with peace of mind."

"Forget it, I can't handle it!"

"Girl, I saved you from the androids, don't you want to thank me? Your expression is as if I owe you a million or eight hundred thousand. If it weren't for me..."

"Thank you all my family!"

"Oh, on behalf of all mechanical creatures, I accept your thanks."

"You!!! I even let you evolve, why didn't you tell me!"

"Uh... yes. On behalf of all mechanical creatures, I would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to evolve and offer you my highest respect."

"You!? You have a sharp tongue..."

"Thank you..."

……

“Report: A mechanical life form of the same form as A2 has been detected. The black box is no longer in the body, but has been replaced by a mechanical life form core.

Judgment: 9M's reason for attacking: He detected the signal of a mechanical life form. It was not because the opponent was A2. "

Seeing everyone's pessimistic faces, auxiliary machine 042 reported this after inspection.

"Miss Communications Officer." A2 suddenly looked up and called 21O, "I checked the chip you gave me..."

21O's face showed a strange expression, then he was relieved and slowly spoke:

"It seems that the scene is here. The original model was 2B, but it was replaced by you..."

"I owe him... After all, I've killed him many times..." A2 smiled bitterly in relief: "I deserve this..."

21O reached out, put his arm around her shoulders and said soothingly, "He won't mind."

(Ye Feng's OS: You are amazing, you are aloof.)

11B looked at the two of them in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?"

Hearing her question, 21O smiled meaningfully and pulled the two of them forward, "Let's go."

"Miss Communications Officer, can you please explain?" 11B said anxiously.

"Now is not the time to talk, and don't make random promises." 21O turned around and looked at 11B and A2 with a meaningful smile.

"What is a flag?"

"You will find out, but not now."

……

The three of them stopped moving forward, and two forks in the road appeared in front of them.

"Report: The black box signature signal of YoRHa unit 9M has been detected at the intersection below. The signal is strong." Pod 042 reported.

Hearing the report from the auxiliary machine, the three people's nerves instantly tensed up.

21O tried her best to keep her face expressionless.

11B's heart was mixed, and fear was revealed in his determined eyes.

A2's eyes gradually became empty and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Ding ding,

"Don't give up, don't you want to save him?"

21S, who had been resting inside 11O, sent a message through the auxiliary device to encourage the three girls.

"Try harder, you must rescue him."

11S's words rang out again, and although he was also filled with fear,

But there was a man who shouted out loudly before he died: [Men are not extinct yet.]

He heard what happened from Assist 153, and was greatly shocked.

【Why fear death! 】

As the only male machine in YoRHa, the Scanner should shoulder the key responsibility.

But he was almost dead. Without his prosthetic body, he could only rely on 21O's hand to provide hacking ability.

Everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

"let's go!"

"Auxiliary machine, start the black box signal shielding program." A2 said lightly.

"Report: It was already activated when the 9M signal was detected." Assist 042 glanced at A2, as if to say: [Without me, you would have been exposed long ago, and you are doomed. ]

"Thank you, smart one."

The three of them walked down the fork in the road.

His steps were firm and his eyes were determined.

quickly,

A road appeared in front of me, with abysses on both sides.

"Look!"

Following the direction pointed by 11B, everyone walked around the corner.

On the platform ahead, there were piles of mechanical life forms.

In front of the mountain,

A black figure knelt on the ground holding a sword.

"That is……"

"9M!?"

"What's up with him?"

"Oh my god, he killed so many mechanical creatures by himself!?"

"Report: 9M's body is low in energy and there is a stream of hacked data in the body. It is speculated that the source is a hacked connection from a machine life form, and it is fighting the firewall." Pod 153 reported.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded.

"Now!!!"

The three girls quickly approached the platform in front of them and gradually saw the figure in front of them clearly.

Looking at that familiar face, A2 couldn't help but burst into tears.

Without time to feel too sad or nostalgic, she put her hand on 9M's shoulder.

At the same time, 11B and 21O also put their hands on 9M's shoulders.

"Assistive device! Hack in!" Her voice was tearful.

"Hack in!"

"Assistive device! Hack in!"

A golden light flashed,

Inside the 9M body, four people and two machines with digitization appeared in the data space.

Noticing the constant flow of golden data around them, several people felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

11S jumped high, reached out and grabbed a ball of golden data, and began to analyze it.

The three men raised their swords, wary of the golden data stream nearby.

"Strange. According to the characteristics, the gold data indicates that they are mechanical life forms. But why don't they attack us?" 21O said curiously.

"Success!" 11S shouted.

He excitedly said to everyone: "It was detected that the golden data contains a large amount of memory of 9M.

There are also some programs mixed in, some of which are used to uninstall the killing program implanted in 9M.

A program contains code to repair the auditory and visual processors,

There are also program installation packages, etc...."

11S was speaking excitedly, totally unaware of the way the three girls in front of him were looking at him as if he were an idiot.

And he was still speaking continuously.

a long time,

As if he realized something was wrong, he stopped speaking, scratched his head, and asked cautiously:

"what happened?"

"Speak human language!" 11B said angrily.

"Uh...okay..."

He smiled awkwardly. These girls who knew nothing about computers couldn't understand what he said at all.

In fact, I have already explained it very simply, and I haven't yet told them about code optimization and logical execution steps.

"That is to say, if these codes run successfully, he will come back!!!"

11S said in a serious tone.

"Are you sure? Could this be a conspiracy by the mechanical creatures?" 21O asked calmly.

"No!" 11S waved her hand and said, "No logical virus program was found."

Everyone was stunned,

"this!?"

The three of them looked at each other.

【what's the situation? 】

"Mechanical lifeforms...what's the point of doing this?" A2 asked in confusion.

"Could it be... that the mechanical life forms are helping us?" 11B asked curiously.

21O glanced meaningfully at the large amount of golden data flowing forward and said calmly, "No matter what, the mechanical lifeforms have the same goal as us."

"Assisted machine, modify the IFF identification code to identify the characteristic signals of machine life forms as friendly forces."

"learn!"
