NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 247 Red Girl

shuh~

A cold light flashed,

The digitized red figure that suddenly appeared behind 9M was instantly shattered.

Next second,

9M noticed the red figure flashing behind him again.

Without any hesitation,

He turned around and swept his sword, chopping the red figure that appeared behind him into pieces again.

"We are conceptual personalities born from a network of mechanical organisms. We cannot be destroyed."

An electronic female voice sounded in the space.

The red figure flashed again and appeared on the left side of 9M.

shuh~

As the third sword was chopped out, the red shadow chopped it into pieces again.

9M raised his eyes and looked around the space expressionlessly.

This time, several girls in red appeared at the same time and surrounded him from a distance.

His HUD was constantly scanning everything around him.

The right side of the interface shows the currently running command:

[Execution procedure in progress...]

[The killing program has been automatically activated...]

[Signal scanning...]

quickly,

He made a discovery.

9M raised his hand and emitted an invisible electromagnetic wave from his fingertips, shooting towards an electronic device somewhere on the ceiling.

Zizzi~

The projection device flashed with electric sparks, followed by a series of explosions, and then turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The shadows of the red-dressed girls around them disappeared instantly and never reappeared.

at the same time,

Attack feedback is displayed on the HUD:

[The target sub-server has been destroyed]

[The connection with the target's upper-level server was forcibly interrupted, and the attack failed]

"You look very strong, YoRHa 9M."

The ethereal female voice sounded again in the space, echoing continuously.

【The source of the sound was not detected.】

This is the conclusion he reached from his logical analysis.

"Well, YoRHa 9M, I have prepared a surprise for you, as long as you can defeat these machine lifeforms."

As the female voice fell,

He was keenly aware that a large number of mechanical life forms were approaching from above.

These mechanical creatures were being suspended by rotor mechanical creatures and slowly descending to the platform where he was.

Without any hesitation or excessive useless analysis,

He moved.

In the flashing silver light,

The first medium-sized mechanical life form that was landing had its core pierced.

It successfully demonstrated what it means to be a box-office success.

He drew his sword back and pointed it at another small machine.

Puncture its core.

The third sword strikes,

The core of another medium-sized mechanical life form was pierced.

This was the mechanical life form closest to him. It had turned into cold scrap metal and was sleeping peacefully on the ground.

far away,

Many mechanical life forms landed steadily, waving giant axes and spears to attack 9M.

His figure moved.

As he turned and moved, cold light flashed everywhere.

One mechanical life form after another fell to the ground, forming a small hill.

above,

There is still a steady stream of flying machines transporting more mechanical life forms.

Gradually,

His algorithm gradually couldn't keep up, and his moves were no longer cautious.

From stabbing and poking, it changes to sweeping, chopping diagonally, and splitting vertically.

The dead mechanical lifeforms on the ground, with broken limbs, torsos, and skulls scattered all over the ground,

The death was very ugly.

Too many useless movements caused the energy consumption rate of the 9M body to gradually increase.

Within ten minutes,

Hundreds of mechanical life forms were killed, and the platform was gradually filled with mechanical parts.

A large number of parts fell into the abyss.

The continuous maneuvering and slashing caused the 9M's energy to continue to decrease.

His CPU is working like crazy.

Displacement, moves, enemy distribution, combat plans...

【Why? Fight? 】

This question appeared in his cache, slowing down his movements by a few milliseconds.

What is the significance of doing this?

His buffer queue was instantly filled with such questions, causing his CPU to be delayed by another 100 billion clock times.

[Why is there a slight pain in the head? ]

He shook his head, put these boring queue tasks aside, and prepared to concentrate on fighting the enemy.

At the next clock time, a large amount of code flows into the CPU and starts to run.

finally,

A valid ruling was given.

His face gradually turned fierce, and he first swung his sword to chop down the closest mechanical life form.

Then, white light began to emerge from his left forearm.

That's a small EMP launcher.

Zizzizi~~~

[EMP transmitter power 100%,]

A violent ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave spread out,

at the same time,

Sparks of electricity appeared from all the mechanical life forms.

The mechanical creatures on the ground that were staring at them eagerly froze for a moment, and then fell to the ground one after another.

The flying machines in the sky and the mechanical life forms that were transported also paused, and then began to move in a uniformly accelerated straight line with an initial velocity of zero.

The magnitude of the acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity, g.

The machinery that fell on the platform caused hundreds of explosions, blowing the piles of mechanical parts everywhere.

The broken parts, along with the machines that fell into the abyss, fell into the endless abyss one after another.

【10% of body energy remaining】

His body suffered some damage due to wear and tear and overheating caused by long-term combat.

He stood expressionlessly on the hill formed by the accumulation of mechanical life forms, and the sensors of his auditory system picked up the sound again.

"Yo...it worked, YoRHa Unit 9M."

The mocking female voice sounded again in the space:

"In that case, let's do as we agreed beforehand and show you."

The voice just fell,

A projection appeared in front of 9M, showing a large list of information.

After CPU analysis, 9M executed the [View Data] operation.

He stretched out his left hand and tried to click on the first one.

I only saw the first item in the column, with the title: [S-level top secret information of the YoRHa project]

suddenly,

A warning appears on the HUD.

He immediately retracted his outstretched finger.

Stretch your palms forward in a resistance position.

Simultaneously,

A thin golden plasma shield appeared in front of him.

next moment,

A golden light shot out from the ceiling, hit the plasma shield through the projection, and created waves of golden ripples.

Through 9M CPU analysis, this is the enemy's hacking signal,

But they were all blocked by him.

suddenly,

The HUD alarm sounded again.

9M sensed the danger and turned around quickly, stretching out his other hand to block the attack from behind.

It’s just that the speed of the body is far behind the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves.

huh~

A golden light shot out from behind and poured into his brow.

He froze.

He realized that something was wrong with his body and fell down.

Then he drew out his sword to support himself on the ground and knelt on his knees to reduce energy consumption.

[The firewall is running at full power.]

His CPU issued such an instruction.

The golden light that entered the body turned into lines of data.

Successfully bypassed the firewall's interception and quickly penetrated along his signal path.

There are two golden data streams, penetrating into his program memory,

One is to try to force uninstall some programs.

The second was to try to force a new program into him.

Another golden data stream drilled into his almost blank memory cells, trying to implant new memory content into him.

There are two more data streams, one for each of his visual and auditory processors.

The program execution code attempted to reshape his vision and hearing, and modified the IFF system code.

Not to be outdone, the 9M machine's firewall also transformed into several black data streams, following the body's pathways to intercept the golden signal that broke into the body.

The two sides transformed into two armies in the data space.

The war is about to start.

outside world,

The figure of the girl in red slowly appeared in front of 9M.

She... is one of N2.

She floats above the ground.

She was wearing a red dress with black sleeves, black cotton socks and red boots, and had long black hair draped over her shoulders, with a red headband locking her bangs on her forehead.

She floated quietly in front of 9M without sending any more hacking signals.

after all,

The battle between the two sides has nothing to do with the amount of signals; it is just a competition of the quality of the algorithms.

Inside the 9M body, the golden data stream gradually fell into a disadvantage, the black firewall data stream gained the upper hand, and the combat intentions of the hacking signal were all blocked.

In some data units,

The golden data stream that was at a disadvantage seemed to roar unwillingly.

Some of the desperate golden data incarnations began to self-destruct, trying to rely on endless garbled codes to break through the data barriers and affect the body's underlying architecture.

In some other data units,

The golden steel torrent and the black torrent engaged in a tug-of-war, the battle was so intense that neither side succeeded.

The two sides seem to be sworn enemies, and they will kill each other as soon as they meet.

outside world,

9M closed his eyes tightly, his face was distorted and his expression was hideous, as if he was enduring great pain.

The shadow of the girl in red landed on the ground and slowly walked towards 9M.

She stretched out her right hand expressionlessly and gently stroked his cheek.

"A gentle person..."

she muttered.

suddenly,

As if she had sensed someone breaking in, the figure of the girl in red disappeared instantly.

Inside the 9M, the battle continues.

Three black figures appeared on the way.
