NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 190 Pascal's Despair

"Are you okay... Miss A2?"

"Well... I'm saved." A2 lay weakly in the man's arms, and the auxiliary machine was doing welding and repair work.

"Uncle Pascal...you are so awesome..."

"I also want to protect Uncle Pascal..."

"Uncle Pascal is so majestic..."

"Kids... I'm glad you're okay." Pascal touched the mechanical child's head lovingly with tears in his eyes.

Ye Feng looked up at Engels' combat weapon which had come to a standstill, then turned to look at Pascal:

"Ahem, I didn't expect that... I really didn't expect that..."

"Huh? Mr. 9M? Didn't expect anything?" Pascal looked at Ye Feng in confusion.

"Good job, Pascal. I didn't expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would come up with such a powerful weapon. Um... Incredible, incredible..."

Pascal touched his head awkwardly: "This... was found under the factory... There is no core installed... It is an ownerless item... Right, Mr. 9M."

Seeing that A2's injuries had been repaired, Pascal led the children towards the two people: "Thank you very much for helping us..."

"It's just a piece of cake...So, Pascal, what are your plans?" Ye Feng asked.

"I can't go back to the village for the time being. I plan to stay here with the children for a while." Pascal became sad again when he said this.

What did Ye Feng think of?

"Assisted machine, check if there are any hidden viruses in the children's bodies."

"Understood." Pod 153 began to scan the mechanical children one by one. The idle Pod 042 looked at A2.

The girl waved her hand.

"Go!"

"learn."

It didn't take long for the scan to be completed.

"Report: No hidden virus programs found."

Now you can rest assured.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big sister~!"

The children thanked the two men.

"Uncle Pascal, let's go play..."

It is children's nature to be playful. Although it is a strange place, they gathered together and planned to explore this new home.

"Then we'll leave." Ye Feng said goodbye to Pascal.

"Ms. A2, Mr. 9M, thank you, goodbye!" Pascal waved goodbye to them.

"Let's go, Pascal." said the taciturn A2.

The two of them left slowly.

On the bridge near the factory,

"Are you going to stay like this forever?" A proud and shy female voice came into Ye Feng's ears.

"Ah... sorry!"

Ye Feng lowered his head, met a resentful gaze, smiled awkwardly, and then noticed that the girl had been held in his arms.

So he fiddled with the girl's body, rotating it 180 degrees in his arms and letting her head rest on his left arm.

Well, I was leaning on my right arm just now.

"You...that's not what I meant...put me down now!?" The girl in his arms struggled weakly.

He turned his head to look at Assist 153 and gave the order:

"Check the condition of A2."

Pod 153 looked at the two of them, hesitant to speak, and finally, a few words popped out:

"Report... Report: A2 is seriously damaged and unable to move..."

Assist 042 looked at the two people and one machine in front of him strangely:

"Report: Not found... mmmmmm..."

I saw aux 153 desperately blocking the sound device of aux 042, which was struggling desperately...

"This……"

The girl in his arms was stunned and stopped struggling.

"Well, the auxiliary machine said so, so just lie down and don't move. Do you understand?" Ye Feng said in a tone that said I'm doing this for your own good, without any doubt.

"Tsk! Then I'll listen to you first."

Ye Feng took a few steps.

Suddenly, the sound of energy being stored came from far behind.

"Warning: High energy reaction detected, extremely dangerous!!!" Auxiliary machine 153 reported.

what happened! ?

Ye Feng quickly turned his head to look behind him, and the girl jumped down.

Engels, who was previously controlled by Pascal, now had bloodshot eyes, and his head was accumulating energy, flashing a dazzling red light.

The goal is exactly the direction of the factory.

"How dare you, thief!!!"

Next second,

A laser beam shot out, shaking the world.

The factory entrance was set ablaze with flames.

The laser swept across, and the entire factory entrance lost its support.

The roof of the huge factory building freely fell to the ground.

"You're a fucking bastard!!!"

Ye Feng's eyes were red with anger.

"Robert, DF-11, armor-piercing high-explosive bomb, coordinates..., blow up this damn WBD!!!"

"Hurry up, save people!" A2 shouted loudly, his weak voice full of panic.

……

After an explosion that resounded through the heavens and the earth, Engels, who launched the sneak attack, turned into a pile of scrap metal and scattered in the sea.

The ruined factory,

The two finally arrived.

The scene before my eyes was shocking. The broken bodies of the mechanical children were scattered all over the ground. Some were melted, some were pierced by the excited steel bars, and some were smashed by the beams...

Pascal kneels in the ruins,

Holding the remains of a mechanical child in his hands,

His head was cracked, the chip was sparking, and his limbs were swinging in a strange shape.

"Pascal..." A2 hesitated.

"Ahhh...how...ah...ah..."

The fire burned fiercely, accompanied by Pascal's screams of pain.

"Things... things turned out to be... like this..."

Pod 153: "Analysis shows that the enemy has deployed a reinforced unit core, which has been integrated with Engels' body. Speculation: Engels with a reinforced unit core is extremely dangerous."

Seeing the lively little robot just now turned into a pile of discarded parts,

Ye Feng became more and more angry, his eyes were bloodshot, he pointed his sword to the sky and roared:

"N2!? I'm going to tear out your tendons and skin you alive, leaving you with no place to bury your body~~~"

The girl looked at the miserable scene in front of her with great pain.

"Assistive device, detection..."

"Understood. Report: All small mechanical life forms have no vital signs." Assist 042 replied silently.

"how so……"

"Miss A2, Brother 9M..."

Pascal, kneeling in the ruins, spoke slowly.

Hearing the call, the two people with extremely heavy hearts slowly walked towards Pascal, squatted beside him and listened to him.

"I want to ask you for a favor...

I can't bear this pain...

Can...

Can you erase my memory?

Otherwise... just kill me."

The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded.

"Please confirm: The hacked system has severed the memory circuit." Pod 042 reported.

"Confirm! Hack!" the girl said.

"Understood. Beginning the memory erasure process." Assist 042 said.

Ye Feng put his hand on Pascal's shoulder.

"Hack in!"

The two walked quietly on Pascal's memory circuit, and in front of them were a large number of digitized units formed by memories.

In the unit, Pascal's memories are playing.

[My name is Pascal, and I am the mayor of this village...]

A2 raised his sword high, hardened his heart, and slammed it down, severing the center of this memory unit.

[Hey, Uncle Pascal, play with us...]

Ye Feng pierced the core of this memory unit with an expressionless face.

[We have an appointment today. We want to look at the plant illustrations...]

[Uncle Pascal, save us...]

[Uncle Pascal never lies...]

[A child who lies will turn into a vicious mechanical creature...]

[Uncle, get out of the way...]

……

Pascal's memory units were all erased, and the two looked at each other.

A white light flashed and exited Pascal's data space.

"Ms. A2, Mr. 9M... Thank you very much... Thank you..."

Pascal's body tilted, he fell into the ruins, and slowly closed his eyes.

"He will wake up..." Ye Feng pulled A2 and prepared to leave this sad place.

"Then... is it still him?" she asked quietly.

Ye Feng didn't say anything.

His heart longed for power, longed for powerful strength, as never before.
