NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 293 Data Rescue Operation

9S walked gently across the grass toward a familiar cave.

Three years ago, he got Emile's permission to excavate such an area.

Only in this way can he carry out his work without any worries.

The ground of the cave was also covered with white "Moon Tears".

On the central platform, there is a long crystal box.

He drew out the Black Covenant Katana in his hand and took off his backpack.

Stab the sword straight into the ground in front of the box and hang the backpack on it.

After doing all this, he walked forward gently.

There were two bodies lying in the box, with their beautiful eyes closed, as if they were asleep.

He gently pushed open the glass cover above.

“A2, 2B… I’m here…”

He leaned over, slowly stretched out his right hand, and touched the cheeks of both of them.

There was no expression on his face, neither happy nor sad.

The two auxiliary machines floated beside him tactfully, accompanying him silently.

I stood like this for a long time.

He bent down and gently kissed the faces of the two girls who would never wake up, and his eyes became firm.

"A2, 2B, if you are still alive, please protect me..."

The glass cover was slowly closed.

Keng~

He drew out A2 and 2B's swords and hung the two silver weapons behind him.

Suddenly I turned around and took another look at this place.

He never looked back and strode towards the elevator.

……

"Emile..."

"9S? Did you find what you needed?"

Emile, who was driving the tricycle, asked 9S with concern.

Next to the two of them,

There is a mechanical hill,

The hill is made up of thousands of auxiliary machines.

After the White Tower collapsed,

042 and 153 refused to carry out the final plan of YoRHa - destroying all data and entities of YoRHa members.

therefore,

The aux network came to the conclusion that the individuals with faulty circuits were eliminated: aux 042 and 153.

All auxiliary machines under the network gather here.

Cover the sky.

Emile received a call for help from Assist 042 and came to help.

Lasers, EMP, and plasma filled the entire battlefield.

I don't know how long the fight lasted...

finally,

9S was successfully awakened.

of course,

The YoRHa unit data that the aux network could access no longer existed.

9S nodded gently. "If I can't come back, please take care of them. Thank you!"

"Just go there with peace of mind. Leave this to me."

……

In the machine room under the cave,

"Assisted machine, I need your help." 9S said softly.

"We will stay with you until the end, 9S." Assist 153 said playfully with a bell-like voice.

"Although we are set up as YoRHa's accompanying support device. But, 9S, you fucking touched me!" Assist Machine 042 spoke in human language, with rich emotions in its tone.

"I'm counting on you!" 9S bowed deeply to the two auxiliary machines that had been silently accompanying him.

After doing this, he turned around very quickly and placed his "left hand" lightly on the panel.

After a few breaths, he raised his head awkwardly and looked at the two auxiliary machines.

Cluck cluck~~~

153 stretched out his small mechanical arm, covered his mechanical mouth and laughed.

uh~

"Assistive device!"

"exist!"

"Hack in!"

A stream of data flashed and entered the data space.

9S was in a trance for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

In the data, his left hand has grown out, holding a silver-white long sword in each hand.

It was the swords of A2 and 2B.

In front of me is a broad road with no end in sight, the end of the road reaches the sky.

"As long as we get to that position..."

He whispered softly, his blue eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

It's been a long time since I fought.

The hand holding the sword was shaking a little.

“9S, don’t push yourself too hard!”

A female voice like a silver bell came into his ears.

"9S, Han Xin, bring purification. We will stay with you until the end."

A serious boy's voice came into his ears from the right.

At the same time, two hands, one on the left and one on the right, gently rested on his shoulders.

9S was startled and turned to check.

I saw a girl in a gray dress and a boy in a white school uniform, looking at me with concern, their eyes full of smiles.

"you……"

"Hey, why don't you recognize us?" The girl in the gray skirt said with a look of anger: "I am the 153 you are familiar with."

"And me, your most familiar stranger, 042." The boy in white said.

"You... you..."

[The auxiliary machine has become a spirit! ? ]

9S's expression was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned into joy.

He stretched out his hand excitedly and touched their heads lovingly.

Then, he turned around firmly and looked at the road that went straight to the sky.

Swish~swish~

Two long swords in his hands.

153 and 042 stretched their right hands back and condensed a plasma machine gun from space and held it in their hands.

"Let's go!"

The three of them rushed forward quickly.

An alien intruder was detected, and the space flickered.

After a while,

The road was densely packed with black digitized enemies.

These enemies are those they have encountered in real life.

Ordinary mechanical life forms, Beauvoir, Engels, Adam, Eve, N2, etc. belong to the enemy side.

There are also friendly parties such as Pascal, the Resistance, Annie Morning, Strange Cass, Divala, and Popola.

更有6O、21O、司令官、A2、2B、11S等从属于寄叶部队的一方。

But now, they are all enemies that need to be eliminated.

[Humph! This database is really not simple! ]

9S's heart sank, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

Two sword energies shot out, crushing the black enemy standing in the front into dust.

153 and 042 lightly pulled the trigger, and the plasma machine guns in their hands spit out flames and tilted plasma wildly.

Likewise, the army of black monsters was not to be outdone.

The overwhelming barrage of bullets formed an impenetrable firepower network, covering the three people.

“9S!

Be careful to avoid it! "

153 shouted coldly, reminding 9S who was full of fighting spirit.

"learn!"

The enemy's barrage, 9S's sword energy, the auxiliary machine's bullets,

Like a world war, it plays the sad song of life.

No unnecessary movements.

dodge!

Open fire!

go ahead!

There is no smoke, and the dead enemies make 8-bit explosions.

The violent shock wave spread out, drawing in the weaker enemies around it and also triggering a chain reaction of explosions.

However, the number of enemies is extremely large, and their armor is getting thicker and thicker, so it often takes dozens of attacks to kill one enemy.

The energy of the black box continues to decrease!

9S was not careless at all. He could not care about anything else.

At all costs!

【Fight! Fight! The battle will never end! 】

Suddenly, 9S seemed to have thought of something.

"Assistive device!!!"

"learn!"

Data particles flashed around the three people.

In an instant, three digitized HO fighter planes appeared out of thin air and wrapped the bodies of the three people respectively.

Boom~~~

Three black warhawks roared by, firing out strings of high-energy plasma, turning all enemies they encountered on the road into ashes.

The road seems endless.

The enemy slowly changed.

The new enemies that appeared were no longer black monsters, but huge English names.

Simultaneously,

The enemy's attacks are more fierce. Every time a barrage of bullets comes, there is almost only one way to survive, and you need to dodge it by yourself.

It seemed as if he was tireless and I didn't know how long he had been fighting.

Gradually,

Pod 153 was unable to dodge and was hit by a barrage of bullets.

In the real world, an electric current appeared on the fuselage of auxiliary machine 153.

puff~

153, who was wearing a gray skirt in the cockpit of the HO fighter, seemed to be seriously injured. Her body froze and golden particles spewed out of her mouth.

"153!?"

9S exclaimed!
