NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 171 Dream Bubble

Tens of minutes ago,

In the mechanical room with white lights, the shadows of two girls, one red and one white, appeared.

Then, two voices were heard.

"The pretense of fighting has almost come to an end. What about your vulnerable human army?"

"Thank you for your concern! Unfortunately, all those in the network have been killed. Even if there are still some stragglers, they can no longer form an effective fighting force."

"Killed in action... I think they deserved it."

"Ah... yes, yes, your Excellency is right!"

"So... what about YoRHa, the vanguard of your human army? Oh... let me see... what YoRHa missed? You idiot, you missed two of the most important ones."

"Hehe... Don't worry about it, my friend. We two have been observing him for a long time. I'm sure you two have been observing him too."

"You guessed it right. This guy is quite interesting. Just paying attention to him can make us evolve. We can really thank him for where we are today."

“Hahaha… Even so, this delusional guy has always thought that he is the savior.”

"That's right, but what do you think?"

"This guy actually disconnected the data synchronization, but is still connected to the network! Let me think about it... Hey, I got it! I came up with a great idea!"

"What kind of bullshit ideas do you have?"

"You don't understand, please watch me operate."

"Hmph! There is no Red Eyes android within 200 kilometers, and you can't open the synchronization port on his machine remotely. Moreover, the T team Prime assigned to you was destroyed by the nuclear bomb in Tokyo Fortress. What else can you do except stare blankly when you are hanging in the sky?"

"Hehe... You don't understand this. The black box carried by YoRHa is the last link in the plan."

"Interesting... But don't mess around. I don't want this guy to die so soon."

"It seems that Your Excellency is still kind-hearted."

"No need to mock me. I saved him only for the future. It would be a waste of God's gift to let him die so easily."

"Please relax. During the process of evolution, I have gained a certain understanding of human emotions. Then, next... please watch the performance quietly."

……

Is it a dream?

Ye Feng opened his eyes; the physical discomfort had disappeared and he sorted out his thoughts.

Two auxiliary machines floated in front of us.

My heart is empty.

Suddenly, I seemed to remember something.

“2B!!”

He shouted loudly and asked the two auxiliary machines next to him,

"Where's 2B?"

The auxiliary machine fell into a strange silence.

Ye Feng drew out his sword and roared loudly,

"Say it!!!"

"Report: 2B transferred 9M's logic virus and exchanged the black box with 9M." Assist 153 reported.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was struck by lightning. He froze in place, and the sword slipped from his hand.

Sorrow, anger, and despair all surged into my heart.

"Where is she!?"

Pod 042 was silent for a moment, then spoke,

"A commercial district with fewer android reactions!"

"not good!!"

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat.

"A2, slow down..."

He quickly stood up and tried to run towards the commercial district.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my head, and some of the scenes I had just seen flashed before my eyes, condensing into a blood-red color.

"No! No! I don't agree to it!!"

He roared and ran towards a familiar place like a mad lion.

“2B!”

“2B!”

“2B!!”

He ran to the cliff, rushed onto the rope bridge, and sprinted forward quickly.

From a distance, the scene looked very strange, yet seemed very familiar.

Still on the huge rock, she knelt on the ground, a silver-white sword piercing through her chest.

In front of her stood the white-haired woman - A2.

As if she had sensed something, she slowly turned her head and looked at the bridge.

She smiled, and blood flowed from the corners of her smiling mouth.

"You're here... Natsu... nineM..."

Ye Feng felt that his soul was being pulled out of his body. He stood on the bridge blankly, as if frozen.

At this moment, the image of 2B being pierced through the chest by A2's sword kept flashing through his mind.

Those scenes kept flashing and repeating, gradually overlapping with the scene in front of him, and the picture turned blood red.

He felt as if there was another him who was holding his head in agony, and he thought that he should shout out loud now.

But in reality, nothing happened.

He just stayed on the bridge, his eyes dull and empty.

With a smile on her face, she slowly fell into a pool of blood.

A piece of falling white hair, scattered in the pool of blood, also expressed A2's mourning for her.

He felt the long suppressed emotions burst out in an instant.

“two B!!!”

In the dimness, he seemed to hear his own roar and snarl,

That person's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were red with anger.

“Uh ah~~~~~”

He roared to the sky,

"A two......!!!"

"I am going to kill you!!!"

"Ah~~~"

"Kill you!!!"

"Kill you!!!"

"Kill you!!!"

One after another, shrill roars kept echoing in his mind, forming a bloody picture.

But in fact, he was still standing on the bridge, without making any sound, as if he was petrified.

Suddenly, he moved.

The silver-white sword in his hand was raised high, gathering dazzling golden energy.

His eyes were empty, staring lifelessly at the long-haired...now short-haired woman standing on the boulder.

With just a slight swing of his right arm, the woman who killed 2B would be dead for sure.

The long sword hangs high, the golden light flashes,

In the dim light, he seemed to see himself with bloodshot eyes, swinging the sword fiercely.

The sharp sword energy flashed with cold light, carrying determination and anger.

However, in reality, he still did not move. His body was still stiff, his eyes were dull, as if his soul had been taken away.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, as if the whole world was shaking.

Immediately afterwards, huge white buildings emerged from the ground one after another, growing rapidly like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.

These buildings are towering into the clouds, white as snow, and exude a mysterious atmosphere.

Their appearance made the whole scene extremely spectacular, but also brought a sense of oppression.

At this moment, he seemed to see another picture. The crazy self was waving a sword, roaring madly and rushing towards A2. His eyes were full of murderous intent and anger, as if he wanted to cut the other person into pieces.

However, the cable bridge was broken by the impact of the white building. He roared in grief and anger, and the sound resounded through the sky, drowning out the shaking of the earth.

As the rope bridge broke, he fell into the bottomless abyss.

However, in reality, he did not make any moves.

He stood there quietly, watching the cable bridge break, and then he fell off the cliff.

There was no expression on his face, as if he had already accepted his fate.

The golden plasma energy on the sword gathered to the extreme and exploded instantly, generating a powerful impact force.

The force blew him back, his body tumbling in the air. He felt a sharp pain and his consciousness suddenly returned to his body.

In a trance, he saw A2 running towards the edge of the cliff, his usually cold eyes now filled with anxiety and worry.

She stretched out her hand, as if trying to grab herself...
