NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 152 Loss

"elder brother!"

"Eva?"

"We, we really want to drive away her, who is also a mechanical life form?" Eve asked doubtfully.

"Eva, there is an old Chinese saying: People with different ideals cannot work together. And..."

Adam touched Eve's head lovingly and continued, "After investigation, I found that your last rampage was not entirely your fault."

Eve's face was full of confusion. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and his face was filled with fear.

"Brother, you mean..."

"That's right!" Adam's face showed resentment: "It's really a good trick!"

……

In the pure white room,

The shadows of two girls in red stood face to face.

A girl said in a strong man's voice: "You were the one who let Adam go, right?"

The other girl had a blank expression on her face and spoke in a delicate voice that was unique to women: "What we should consider is not this problem, but...you..."

The man sneered, "What's wrong with me? As for you, what will happen if you release Adam? It will still end the same. Your efforts are worthless."

The female voice heard this and remained silent.

The male voice continued, "Come with me. The fate of this world has already been determined. Anyone who attempts to change the timeline will eventually be wiped out. Any effort will ultimately be in vain. You... think so too, right..."

After a moment, the female voice spoke up: "You can't win at all? I don't understand!"

The man advised: "This is already a predetermined outcome. Any action is meaningless. As another you, I don't want to see your efforts being trampled upon."

The female voice remained silent.

The male voice continued to persuade: "Come together!"

The female voice remained silent.

The male voice urged again: "If we join forces again, no one in the world will be able to defeat our mechanical life forms."

The female voice suddenly asked, "The opponent... does it include that weird guy?"

The man remained silent for a moment, then spoke: "He personally promised..."

The female voice suddenly sneered: "I don't think so. If we go by his promise, our existence will be meaningless."

Male voice: "No... that is the meaning of our existence..."

Female voice: "The meaning of existence... is to be killed as a villain in the eyes of bystanders? Or to live alone on a desolate planet? Or to be disheartened and willing to be assimilated by the girl in white!?"

Male voice: "You!? How did you..."

Female voice: "You think... you are the only one who knows..."

Male voice: "You actually..."

Female voice: "Your behavior can be best described by a word from human society - cowardice!"

Male voice: "You!?"

The female voice persuaded: "Since you can't convince me, why not join forces with me and try to make changes."

The male voice remained silent.

The female voice continued to persuade: "As you said, if we join forces again, we may have a chance."

The male voice remained silent.

The female voice persuaded again: "Come back... the real you!"

The male voice was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, his expression became strange:

"Anyone who doubts our victory... is an enemy."

The female voice was obviously stunned, and then a rare expression of relief appeared on her face.

She stared at him, nodded slightly, and smiled bitterly.

Then he smiled evilly:

"Do you think... you can win?"

Male voice: "You have no chance of winning against me now. In that case, I will play with you..."

Female voice: "Child's play... childish!"

Male voice: "You???"

Female voice: "Stupid..."

Male voice: "Shut up!"

Female voice: "Ruozhi..."

Male voice: "Die!"

Female voice: "Vegetable dog..."

……

In a dim room,

A sunny boy's voice came out: "The host is dead?"

Hearing this question, the space suddenly fell into silence.

I saw a boy in white clothes and a girl in a gray skirt standing shoulder to shoulder.

The girl in the gray skirt had a sad look on her face.

The boy in white sighed and shrugged.

"You don't have to take it to heart. After all..."

The girl remained silent.

The boy frowned and spread his hands:

"Forcibly implanting the soul into the YoRHa machine won't create a strong enough bond.

As expected, as soon as that guy made a move, the soul dissipated as expected.

But don’t worry, I’ll go out again and I should be able to find it…”

Hearing the boy's casual words, the girl suddenly spoke:

“No need, you and I both know the current status of the hibernation chamber.

I detected some soul residue in that wild boar, which can be extracted."

The boy was delighted when he heard this, and then he asked:

"Could it be... because of the incident on March 3th?"

"I don't understand either."

.........

Dilapidated streets, towering trees, moss-covered buildings, and the sunset that never sets.

9M walked in the ruins of the city. Somehow, he felt that he had to go out.

He always felt that something precious was missing deep inside him.

A thought in my mind,

9M saw a wild boar rushing out in front of him.

He searched through the memory fragments and recognized it. It was the same one that had fought with him near the factory last time.

But for some reason, he had no intention of attacking the wild boar in front of him.

The wild boar ran towards him happily and slowly lay down in front of him.

"You want me to ride on it?"

9M asked about the wild boar, only to see the latter nod like a human.

He rode on the boar's back,

"Where do you want to take me?"

The boar said nothing.

Of course, I can't speak either.

He carefully grabbed the bristles, and the wild boar ran towards the center of the city, and the flowers and plants on the roadside quickly ran away.

Well, that's relative motion.

What's going on? Why did I think of this?

9M felt as if some thoughts that shouldn't have been there flashed through his memory.

The wild boar ran along with 9M until they came to a deep pit.

"here it is……"

Looking at the devastation, 9M murmured,

"I see. This is where the alien remains were found. In the underground cave in the deep pit below, there are the remains of the alien mothership."

The wild boar walked down the deep pit and slowly stopped, and 9M jumped down.

He looked around and suddenly had a strange feeling.

This feeling seems to be called - déjà vu.

But he couldn't think of anything.

At the same time, my head started to ache.

Why do I feel so sad? What happened?

His face became distorted.

"Ah~~~"

He knelt on the ground with his head in his hands in pain.

What on earth is this? Why can’t I remember it?

What on earth did I forget?

He looked up to the sky and howled~~~

For a long time, he knelt on the ground like a deflated ball.

Suddenly, a hearty male voice came from behind him.

"You came!"

"who!"

9M immediately became alert, shouted loudly, and stood up.

He drew out the YoRHa standard steel knife from his back and looked at the person coming with caution.

Standing behind him were two white-haired men, one dressed very politely, the other dressed unruly and shirtless.

"who are you?"

Looking at the familiar YoRHa machine in front of him, Adam showed a playful expression, and said with a chuckle, "You lost your memory?"

He said, slowly walking towards the 9M in front of him.

At the same time, 9M suddenly felt an invisible pressure and took difficult steps to retreat.

Suddenly, he realized something, and his face was filled with horror:

"You are a mechanical life form!?"

Adam sneered and extended his hand to 9M:

"Let me examine you."

9M was horrified as he watched the man in white approaching.

He saw his chance, put his hands on the man's shoulders, and tried to hack into him.

At the same time, Adam chuckled when he realized 9M's intention.

Then, 9M felt himself losing consciousness.
