NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 228 Tower

"poor guy……"

Looking at the mechanical body lying on the ground, Ye Feng stretched out his right hand and silently saluted in the human way.

"Mr. 9M..."

Everyone looked at Ye Feng in confusion as he saluted. 8B slowly said, "We androids cannot be like humans..."

"Do not!!!"

After the ceremony, Ye Feng interrupted 8B and slowly turned his head to all the Yoriha:

"We can... Although it may take a while for us to adapt, please remember that humans are extinct and we are the creatures on Earth..."

"……I see."

A11, supported by 2B, walked over with staggering steps:

"Did you find anything?"

Ye Feng sneered for a while: "Mechanical life forms have human forms, so artificial humans can naturally also..."

"what!?"

"Could it be that..." 64B stroked his chin and continued to analyze: "This guy is..."

As they continued talking, everyone looked up at the sky and remained silent.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, 22B finally broke the silence:

"They actually sent this kind of guy to deal with us instead of the mechanical life forms!!!"

Ye Feng shook his head, squatted down and straightened the mechanical corpse on the ground.

He spoke calmly:

"These guys are just like us. They are trapped in the vortex of life and death, their memories have been erased, and they are always looking for the truth."

"These damn guys!!!" 8B's words were full of relief, revealing a hint of hatred.

"So...what are you going to do next?" A2 came forward and looked at Ye Feng expectantly.

Hearing the girl's question,

Ye Feng smiled gently and stroked her cheek:

"You go back first, I'll go investigate..."

"you!!!"

A2's expression froze, and his face changed from expectation to worry. He dissuaded her:

"Don't go, okay?"

"Yes, Mr. 9M, we are not only being attacked by mechanical creatures now, but those guys are also eager to get rid of us..."

Ye Feng turned his head and looked in the direction of the white giant tower. He pondered for a moment and smiled bitterly:

“I’ve played games, and if enemies block your way all the way, it means you’re on the right path.

Moreover, they tried every possible means to stop us, which only shows that the way out is there!!!"

Ye Feng's voice suddenly increased, and he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the white giant tower.

A2 shook his head helplessly.

It looked as if he had to go.

She gently pushed away the 11B that was supporting her.

Enduring the pain, trying to move gracefully,

She walked towards Ye Feng, opened her red lips slightly, and said in her usual tone:

"You can go, I'll go with you..."

There was a slight tremor in her voice and her elegant steps seemed a little shaky.

Ye Feng noticed her strangeness, and immediately walked forward to hold her shoulders, and said gently:

"I can do it alone..."

"Do not!!!"

She suddenly screamed, shook off the hand that was around her, and said proudly, "No need to help me! Sister won't hold you back."

Seeing her serious look, Ye Feng nodded helplessly and said with a smile:

"Don't get hurt again, go back and take care of yourself first..."

He tapped his chest gently: "Otherwise, I will feel bad..."

"you!!!"

A faint blush rose on her face, revealing a hint of shyness: "Okay then~~~"

Ye Feng turned to look at the four sisters, glanced around, and pleaded, "Captain 4B, please send her back."

"Mr. 9M..."

8B looked at the three team members beside him, walked towards 11B and said, "11B, you...send Miss A2 back."

11B looked at A2, then at Ye Feng, lowered his head and said stubbornly: "I will accompany Mr. 9M to the tower..."

"Well!?"

Ye Feng focused his eyes and stared at 11B, then turned towards A2.

Suddenly, they both smiled knowingly.

"Well, let Miss 11B go with you, and I can relax a bit."

A2 laughed and turned to look at Pod 042:

"The right to use the aux unit is transferred to YoRHa 11B."

Pod 042 suddenly wanted to refute.

I looked at A2, then at the expectant 11B, and then at the shining sword:

"learn."

"You guys agreed quite straightforwardly." A2 smiled helplessly, "You didn't say that before."

"Mr. 9M," 8B said as he stepped forward, "We won't go back yet. Look over there."

She pointed to the Dongfeng heavy truck next to her:

"There is a lot of equipment in the car. 64B and I will be on guard in the vicinity, and 22B will drive Miss A2 back."

She took out a small communication device and flashed it in her hand: "Just bought it. If there is any situation, call me."

"Thank you." Ye Feng said resolutely.

He looked at A2 with reluctance as his steps became unsteady.

The girl said playfully and worriedly: "I'll wait for you at the camp..."

Ye Feng was about to speak when he suddenly realized something.

Damn~

[I almost set a flag. 】

Without saying much, he gently hugged the girl, then looked at everyone and said:

"Let's take action~~~"

"You have to be careful……"

…………

Ye Feng and 11B walked towards the white giant tower together.

I passed through the dark door that was blown up by C4 and opened the elevator leading to the upper level.

The giant white elevator has a shingled roof, which is very medieval in style.

But everything is white.

The elevator is moving slowly upwards...

"Mr. 9M..."

11B spoke cautiously.

Hearing 11B's call, Ye Feng smiled.

Looking at 11B who seemed uneasy, some memories of the past emerged in his mind, and he said:

"No need to use honorifics, just call me 9M."

"what……"

11B was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I understand, 9M. Thank you for saving me during the 243rd airborne operation. Otherwise..."

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

He didn't expect that the 9M unit he had taken over could actually save 11B in this way. He laughed again:

"You're welcome. Saving this girl... No, saving YoRHa members is our duty."

From Ye Feng's words, 11B seemed to sense something was wrong.

[So, he... should have had his memory deleted. ]

After thinking for a moment, she continued to ask:

"9M, if you meet that guy...what are your plans?"

Ye Feng looked at the ceiling and said calmly:

"See if you can convince her. If not, let's see what happens with our own hands."

"I'll go with you." 11B clenched his fists and looked at Ye Feng.

Feeling a little moved, Ye Feng looked at 11B with concern.

(Okay, I'm at a loss for words. I don't know how to describe 11B's appearance, and there's no reference in the documentation. During the mission, there was only an ordinary prosthetic model lying on the ground. I'll make it up.)

Long golden hair, a black Lolita skirt, and a pair of patent leather high-heeled boots under the leather stockings.

A pair of bright big eyes were shining, looking at him with admiration.

I must not let the people that my original body saved die here!

Ye Feng thought so.

He strongly rejected the idea of trampling on other people's lives at will.

Seeing the girl with bright eyes standing in front of him,

Ye Feng's mind moved, and he said with interest:

"16D, do you remember her?"

"16D..."

The girl's expression gradually became serious, as if she was thinking of memories from long ago.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly:

"She is the girl with short red hair in 16D. She is my junior. She has been working in the data department.

She is very gentle... She has always admired me and thinks that as a combat type, I can face the terrifying mechanical life forms.

She is timid, but she is proud to die in battle...

She wanted to transform herself from a defensive type to a combat type...

This silly girl...

I couldn't bear to see her being influenced by bad thoughts.

I once tentatively asked her what she thought of the members who fled YoRHa, but suddenly her temper changed drastically, and she loudly denounced those people as traitors...

Maybe there is a malfunction in the thinking circuit.

Afterwards, I never mentioned these things to her again, including…"

At this point, 11B raised his head and looked at Ye Feng cautiously, then said softly: "...My escape plan."

Ye Feng fell into a brief memory and said:

"I heard that she had been trying to find a way out because she couldn't find you... Then, after what happened in the bunker, she should have..."

"Report: According to the data, 16D was infected with the logic virus and was killed in the hangar by Commander White..." Auxiliary Machine 042 reported.

After hearing what Ye Feng and the auxiliary machine said,

11B Sorrow comes from within,

I covered my mouth with my hand and shed a few tears unconsciously.

Ye Feng looked at the tearful girl, and his man's instinct made him move closer to her.

He stroked her back gently, comforting her silently.

"Actually... I've already guessed it..."

"It's just... I don't want to think about it... face it..."

Suddenly, she burst into tears, stretched out her hands and hugged Ye Feng tightly, her body gradually softened, and she refused to let go.

Seeing the usually smart 11B in this state, Ye Feng seemed at a loss.

Forget it, Ye Feng made up his mind and stretched out his hands, patting her back gently.

[I don’t have any messy dirty thoughts now. I’m just comforting her.]

She burst into tears, venting her pent-up emotions madly.

The threat of death does scare her.

But the death of someone she cares about will only make her painful and brave, and make her more indifferent to the threat of death.

"It has passed……"

Ye Feng comforted gently.
