NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 196: Emile's Memories

Ye Feng walked out of the house and breathed some fresh air outside.

He already had a plan in mind about what he might encounter inside the giant white tower.

There is some conspiracy hidden behind this, the current plot is unclear and nothing useful has been found yet.

It would be better for the mechanical life forms and those bastards at the Lunar Human Conference to just die quietly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the bones are crushed and ashes are scattered.

But what can be done?

He did not have any backbone forces at hand, so he could either fight alone or use mushroom bombing. However, the mushroom bombing had no target except the two coordinates given to him by the deceased commander.

Will the enemy launch a surprise attack on our missile base?

There is no need to worry about this. Ye Feng is very confident in the concealment and protection of the base.

What does it look like in the areas of the Earth occupied by mechanical life forms?

It seems that there are enemy troops, and once the fighter planes enter the airspace, they will be blocked.

Flying at low altitude is much safer.

Most of the resistance forces on the ground are engaged in guerrilla warfare, unlike the resistance base here, which can fight positional warfare with mechanical life forms.

It doesn’t matter, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Take advantage of this time to visit the ruins of the amusement park, maybe you can run into Emile.

Thinking about this, Ye Feng borrowed a truck.

Step on the clutch, step on the brake, shift gears, release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch to half engagement, hold steady, release the brake, all in one go.

Step on the accelerator, step on the clutch, shift up, release the clutch to shift to second gear, step on the accelerator again... (Sorry, I was so distracted by the third gear training at that time)

Following the cleared road, Ye Feng drove to the amusement park square.

The statue of the rabbit mechanical life form still stood in the square, and the music of Dragon Country - Lady Shexiang - was heard on the radio in the distance.

Many clown mechanical life forms lined up neatly in the square and danced square dance.

No, Ye Feng noticed that the metal shells of these clown machines were broken, their eyes were flashing red, and their teeth were exposed. They had become zombies, just like the villagers in Pascal Village who were infected by the logic virus.

Ye Feng approached a small zombie-like machine.

"Auxiliary machine, detect this mechanical life form." Ye Feng ordered auxiliary machine 153.

"Understood. Report: Logic virus infection detected. The mechanical creature no longer has any life characteristics. Its actions and thoughts are maintained by the logic virus."

"Why do they dance?"

"Hypothesis: Instincts left over from the memory circuits," Pod 153 reported.

"That's it..."

Ye Feng couldn't help but worry.

So 21O? Can it be saved?

"Report: This logic virus specifically targets mechanical organisms that have a mechanical life form core." Assist 153 continued to report.

"So... what about the effect on androids? Try to analyze and speculate."

Ye Feng gave the order.

He was not crazy enough to inject the virus into an artificial human for experiment.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but think of East Asia ten thousand years ago, and felt angry.

"Report: The structure of the android is different from that of the YoRHa unit. It does not have the black box that was transformed from the core of a mechanical life form. It is less infectious and the infection process is slow. The 9M unit can easily disintegrate the virus through hacking." Pod 153 reported.

"I see... a logic virus specifically designed to transform the core of a mechanical life form. Interesting..."

"Report: If YoRHa is infected through physical intrusion, it can be disinfected in the early stages of infection using the cracking program left by 9S.

If it infects the central nervous system and causes the black box to deteriorate, it will be impossible to eradicate it through external means.

It is impossible to analyze what happened to 9S before his death.

Suspect again: There is a hidden special program in the black box. Suggestion: Do not connect to the network. "Assist 153 reported.

Ye Feng sneered, "Internal means?"

"I understand. Thank you, Assist 153."

He touched 153's head lovingly, even though she didn't have a head.

"Report: You're welcome."

Ye Feng's eyes widened: "You are good, not bad. You are finally a bit human."

"That's not good."

……

Ye Feng walked towards the huge mechanical rabbit statue in front of him and stared into his eyes.

He was wondering who would have built this statue.

Moreover, why would mechanical life forms that are killing machines gather in a place like an amusement park?

Strictly speaking, as the front line of war, mechanical soldiers should be more aggressive.

Ok!

Ye Feng's explanation for this is,

The network of mechanical life forms needs to complete its own evolution, so the control over the mechanical soldiers is weakened.

This leads them to be idle and thinking about things.

And then make various human-like actions.

The rabbit statue in front of you seems to have scratches on its body, traces of splicing at the joints, traces of sheet metal, and signs of repainting.

Weird? Who did this?

How come the surface of the Rabbit machine is so shiny? And it also knows how to maintain it. That’s amazing.

Hey, why is it leaking oil?

Ye Feng thought a lot.

According to his memory, he came to a corner.

In the dark corner, a small glowing white flower blooms.

Tears of the Moon!?

According to the information provided by the auxiliary machine, this is the Moon Tear closest to him.

Think of the straight line in the game,

He became interested.

"Okay, time to call Emil."

Ding ding,

"Hello, what's the matter?" Emile's voice was very pleasant.

"Emile, I found the moon..."

"I'll be there right away!!"

Before he could finish his words, the sound of brakes came from behind.

"Sorry for the long wait!!!"

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. This guy came just as quickly as in the game.

"You are really...quick!"

Emil Tricycle: "...I remember now. A great war with aliens broke out here, and the situation...is getting worse and worse."

Emil fell into a distant memory: "In order to win the war, I decided to replicate myself.

However, the number of enemies increased day by day... Many of my companions also lost their lives...

But that’s all in the past.”

Ye Feng looked at the big head in front of him in confusion: "Emile, how long have you lived?"

"I don't know either." Emil's voice became quieter: "After all, fighting does not require those memories...

Thank you. Thanks to you, I can remember the important places. "

Ye Feng understood, and he thought of a sea of Moon's Tears flowers.

Emil said, "That's right. That place is very important to him. As a thank you, I will tell you how to get there. Here are the password and coordinates. It's in the elevator of the shopping mall in the commercial district."

"Who is 'he'?" Ye Feng asked.

“I…can’t remember clearly…can barely remember who he was….

But, that place...

It is filled with important memories of mine and is a place I want to keep at all costs.

...No, to be more precise, it's 'my past self'."
