NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 172 Road

In a dark space, a conversation between 042 and 153 was heard.

"The signal from YoRHa 2B's black box has been lost. Confirmed dead. Sharing status." Pod 042 said.

"The damaged parts of YoRHa 9M have been repaired today. It is now ready to restart," Pod 153 responded.

"YorHa Unit A2 is also scheduled to restart," said 042.

"...Suggestion: Turn on the light source." said Assist 153.

The lights were turned on, and Assist 042 and Assist 153 were floating face to face in the dim room, fiddling with their small mechanical hands and having a serious conversation.

POD042: "Mission confirmed: Ensure the safety of units A2 and 9M."

POD153: “No problem.”

POD042: "Then there is only one task left. We are the YoRHa support system. If the A2 and 9M are able to function again, we have the obligation to provide support."

POD153: "Agreed."

POD042: "Recommendation: avoid meeting between A2 and 9M. Prediction: cause conflict."

……

"Ah, you're awake." A smart and gentle female voice came into my ears.

"You've been sleeping for two weeks." Another heroic and arrogant female voice came to my ears again.

"Phew, we have repaired your body."

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and vaguely saw two figures.

The figure gradually became clear.

The faces of the red-haired twins came into view.

How beautiful, he thought.

At the same time, the tragic fate of the twins came to mind.

Rubbing his dizzy head, he smiled and said:

"Divara, Popola."

here it is……

Resistance camp.

He looked around and sat up from the simple stretcher.

At this moment, the voice of Pod 153 came to my ears again:

“Reminder: This is the time to express gratitude!”

Ye Feng looked at the auxiliary machine with disdain.

Pod 153 ignored his gaze and said, "Say thank you!"

Ye Feng looked up and said to the two sisters,

“Thank you so much…”

"That's what we do." Divara replied casually.

Ye Feng rubbed his dizzy head and suddenly remembered something. A sharp pain hit his chest.

“2… Where’s 2B?”

Hearing this question, Divara fell silent.

Bobo La hesitated to speak:

"This... you should know better than us."

Divara sighed: "The black box response has disappeared..."

Ye Feng smiled bitterly.

"That's true..."

He put on the black tactical goggles skillfully and slowly, Ye Feng got out of bed, and paced casually until he walked out of the camp.

The scorching air hit him in the face, and he looked up at the ruined city that was still in ruins.

The beauty is gone, and the best friend has passed away. Waves of sadness surge into Ye Feng's heart.

At the same time, the familiar melody of 'voice of no return' seemed to reach my ears.

Now is the time for Internet Depression Music.

There was silence for a long time.

"Assistive device."

"It's on hold."

"Stop the BGM for me."

"Report: According to analysis, this melody is highly consistent with YoRHa 9M's current mood. Moreover, I found this song from 9M's database." Pod 153 argued.

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Change me a song that makes people happy, the Dragon Country Divine Song, let's go."

"learn."

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…

In the rebel camp,

Listening to the cheerful music coming from outside the camp, Divara frowned and snorted coldly:

"YoRHa is wiped out. All my teammates are dead. It's so tragic that I can't help but cry. Why is he still playing such a happy song?"

Bobo La shook her head and sighed, "There is an old saying among humans: extreme joy brings tears, and extreme sorrow brings joy. He must be extremely sad now, and he has even lost the ability to maintain normal calculation and thinking."

"Oh, sorry, I wronged him." Divara said ashamed.

……

Outside the camp, a divine song from the Dragon Kingdom finished playing, and Ye Feng's mechanical brain gradually cooled down.

He began to sort out his thoughts.

He pieced together what had happened in the few days before he fell into the coma, but still had no clue.

I compared the plot with the game again and found a lot of suspicious points, but these problems don't connect at all.

Moreover, there is something wrong with 9M's body! ?

Ye Feng sighed, walked to a ruin, and squatted on an abandoned concrete beam.

"Assistive device, request a song: Where is the way forward?"

"learn."

"Like in Black Myth."

"learn."

Where is the real enemy?

What happened to the bunker?

If I lose my current body, will I go back to 2024 or will I really die?

The butterfly effect I brought! ?

Parallel universe? That should be right. Time travel can happen, so parallel universes are not so mysterious.

The game developers from this island country who live a good life make games with good attention to small details, but almost no general direction, which makes people wonder how to start working.

What are those flashing images on the cable bridge?

I'm infected with a virus called 9S?

Ye Feng’s mind is now full of questions.

where is the road?

In a vain attempt to save 6O, the Commander, and 2B.

But, they are all dead,

Send the leaves,

I didn't save any of them, and 9S was killed as well.

In addition to the defected YoRYA who was rescued by the original body, the special machine life forms, Adam, and Eve...

As he pondered, a feeling of sadness came over him.

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

Adam!!

Ye Feng shuddered, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

The system said that he had a very close relationship with the two brothers Adam and Eve.

Thinking of this, he opened the communication:

Ding ding,

"This is 9M calling Adam. Please reply."

"9M? I didn't expect you to contact me. I'm sorry for what happened to you." Adam seemed surprised to receive Ye Feng's call.

"Thank you. I have a favor to ask you. Please help me research it..." Ye Feng requested.

Adam pondered for a moment, and continued in his magnetic voice:

"Okay, I happen to have the materials on hand. Please wait for my news."

Hang up the call,

Hope gradually ignited in Ye Feng's heart.

Where is the road?

The road is right under your feet!!

Ye Feng seemed to feel a surge of courage in his heart. He slapped his thigh happily.

The power of uniting everything we can unite.

The great road is fifty, the sky is four and nine, and people are one of them.

Oh, and here's the box from room 21O.

Ye Feng's mind moved, and he supported his legs and prepared to sit up from the ground.

Uh ~

Such smooth and soft thighs.

He turned his head to look to the right, and saw a pair of resentful eyes staring at Ye Feng, with beautiful and attractive eyes.

"I'm sorry... Miss Divala."

A right hand made of iron, a thigh made of magnet.

Hold on tight!

"it does not matter……"

Divara said with a guilty look on her face, and handed the things to Ye Feng.

"Your bag."

His hand slowly moved across the smooth and delicate legs, his fingertips stubbornly sliding across the smooth touch, and with a bit of nostalgia, he reluctantly took the bag.

Hey, why won’t my damn hand obey me?

It must be virus contamination. It actually has its own thoughts!

Well, I'll punish you later, Ye Feng thought.

Open the first small box and you will find a letter from 21O to 9S.
