NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 184 Thank you, Big Sister

Pascal Village,

After some clanging and banging of the machines, the wooden spiral slide and the steel-structured carousel appeared before everyone.

"Ah, Miss A2, thank you very much for what you have done for the children. The children want to thank you." Pascal walked forward.

A bunch of mechanical kids jumped around and surrounded them.

"Ah, it's big sister~!"

"Big sister is here~!"

"Big sister, thank you for making toys for us~!"

"Thank you, big sister~!"

"Hey, big sister~! Please accept our thank you gift."

A mechanical child brought a small bag over. She took it and opened it. Inside were some stones that flashed in the sunlight, emitting colorful light.

"Sister, take this!"

Another mechanical child handed over a small bag containing a handful of plant seeds.

"Sister~! This is for you too..."

The children handed her their treasured gifts one by one. She was at a loss now, and stayed where she was with the large and small bags in her hands.

"Goodbye, big sister~! Let's go play~!"

Pascal put a hand on her shoulder:

"Ms. A2, thank you for making the games for the children!"

"It's okay." She smiled faintly.

"Peaceful mechanical creatures..."

Looking at the people leaving, she shook her head helplessly and put the children's gifts into her backpack.

"Inference: By establishing friendly relations with Pascal Village and others, we can obtain more materials. Suggestion: Investigate Pascal Village." Assist Machine 042 popped up.

"Well, you guy! I didn't do this just to get these..." A2 said angrily.

Feeling very relaxed, A2 stretched out his arms and prepared to leave.

"Ms. A2, please wait a moment."

She looked back and saw a large-headed mechanical life form walking towards her.

No, float over.

"what's up?"

"I respect Mr. Pascal very much, and I want to repay him. I heard that he likes philosophical books very much, so..." said the flying machine.

"Do you need my help to find these books?" A2 asked with interest, crossing his arms.

"Yes. I heard that Annie Morning in the resistance camp has a collection of philosophy books." The big-headed mechanical sneered and then whispered:

"It would be nice if I could snatch it..."

"What did you say? Who would do such a dangerous thing?" A2 glanced at this stupid but thoughtful mechanical lifeform.

"Okay, I'll go get that philosophy book for you."

She shrugged.

I complained to myself,

As expected, mechanical life forms have incomplete intelligence.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

……

Drive back to the resistance camp.

"Hmm...? You said Pascal wanted a philosophy book?" Annemoening's eyes lit up, and she stood up and searched the bookshelf.

After a while, a book with yellowed pages was turned out.

The cover of the book had long been torn, and on the title page was written "Thoughts".

It is a collection of philosophical essays written by Blaise Pascal, a 17th-century French mathematical scientist and thinker. It was first published in 1670.

Well, Pascal the mechanical lifeform, looking at the writings written by Pascal the human, that's very beaver.

"By the way, if you go to see Pascal, please help me pass this 'gold mine' to Pascal." Annie Morning requested.

"However, mechanical life forms actually need to read philosophy books... Perhaps, we know nothing about our enemies." Annie Morning said meaningfully.

"Well, I find it strange too." A2 showed a hint of smile on his calm face.

.........

Pascal Village,

"Outside this village?"

"'When a country is about to perish, the true beginning of human beings, who are no longer redundant, begins...' Ah..."

Pascal sat in the house, looking at a torn book in his right hand with interest, and said to himself:

"The thoughts of this man named Nietzsche are really intriguing.

It's really too mysterious. In my eyes, he is just a weirdo...

So……

Not just books, I also need to see the world..."

Putting down the book, Pascal walked out of the room.

Then I heard a bunch of chattering voices:

"Hey! Uncle Pascal, play with us--!"

A group of mechanical children came through the door.

"Play with us--!" (speaking in unison)

Pascal smiled and said, "Oh my, your speech has improved a lot. However,

You haven't finished reading the book yet, have you? Didn't we agree to memorize the contents of the plant illustrations today?"

"Then after we finish reading the book, can you play with us--?" asked the leading mechanical child.

"Will you play with us?" (speaking in unison)

Pascal looked at the group of little guys in front of him lovingly:

"Of course. Uncle Pascal won't lie. Children who lie will turn into bad mechanical creatures."

"Ah——!" The leading child was startled.

"Ah——!" (said in unison).

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard near the square.

"…Hmm? What's wrong?"

……

Underwater city,

A day of ding ding bang bang,

Zizzizi~~~

Ye Feng washed off the oil on his hands.

"Auxiliary machine, detect HO229."

"Report: The laser prism has been damaged, the plasma generator has been repaired, the machine gun functions normally; the energy supply is normal, and there are no spare small missiles in stock."

"Well, this will work."

Ye Feng sighed, looked at the repaired HO229, stepped into the cockpit of the fighter, and completed the fusion.

Immediately afterwards, blue flames spurted out from the tail of the HO fighter plane, and it soared into the air, blowing up a lot of dust and weeds.

The wild boar on the ground was very excited, its eyes shining.

Ye Feng noticed his pet Bajie left on the ground, and then said with a wicked smile:

"Want to try it?"

The wild boar nodded its head frantically, drooling.

"I'll take you to show off and fly!"

He controlled the fighter plane to change its maneuvering form and grabbed the wild boar by the armpit.

Then, HO took off into the air and accelerated towards the ruined city.

In the distant sky, there were waves of pig squeals.

Sounds like Chinese New Year.

In a corner of the city, a pair of android lovers had an argument for some unknown reason.

At this moment, the man pointed to the sky and swore:

"If I lie to you, even pigs will fly to heaven..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flew across the sky at low altitude.

I saw a black war eagle flying slowly in the sky, and heard the roar of a pig...
