NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 223 The Lone Walker

If 9S can go, I can go too.

Haunted by nightmares?

Let me show you what you are capable of!

The car, in fifth gear, sped through the ruins of the city, stirring up a lot of smoke and dust.

The car sped forward, and Ye Feng in the driver's seat had a calm expression, as if his heart was as still as water.

There was no music playing in the car, and Ye Feng knew what he was going to do.

However, before that, he had more important things to do.

"Suggestion: disclose the purpose of this trip," Auxiliary Machine 153 asked, sitting obediently in the co-pilot seat, strapped into the black fuselage.

"Go to that place and take a look, and then enter the white tower." Ye Feng stretched out his hand, touched the head of auxiliary machine 153, and spoke.

"learn."

crunch~

The car stopped steadily on the opposite side of the suspension bridge.

Ye Feng jumped out of the car swiftly and looked across.

Everything that happened a month ago seems to be fresh in my mind.

The unknown road ahead made him not absolutely sure about what to do next.

He was feeling uneasy inside, but tried to erase his fear of the unknown with a calm expression on his face.

"What I cannot accept the most is that I made a lot of preparations, but in the end, all the efforts were in vain."

On the eve of the final battle, he once said this to 2B and 9S.

"So, 9M?" 2B asked gently, "What if... your efforts were in vain?"

"Is it useless?"

The sunny boy raised his head to greet the sunshine, smiling brightly, and said confidently:

"No. I never fight a battle without being prepared."

"What if, what if?"

2B asked him softly in a gentler tone.

“Ah!? Is that so… Let me think…”

His expression became lost, and he said frustratedly: "I might cry..."

The girl covered her mouth and began to giggle: "9M, you actually cried... 9S, did you hear that? Our 9M is such a person..."

Ye Feng closed his eyes in pain, stood on the other side of the bridge, and asked himself:

[Has everything I have done so far been in vain?]

He walked quietly onto the suspension bridge.

At the same time, I looked towards the familiar big rock.

Suppressing the sadness in my heart, trying to make myself look less embarrassed,

Uh ah~~~

It felt like something was stuck in my throat, and something seemed to be about to burst out of my eye sockets.

No...

My war is not over yet...

He quickened his pace.

He tilted his head at a 45-degree angle, with his mouth wide open, breathing heavily.

He held his head in his hands, and walked without stopping.

The distance of fifty meters seemed light years away.

Uh~~~

The throat is desperately trying to vibrate,

It seemed that the simulated eyelids could no longer hold back the weakly acidic, colorless, transparent liquid.

This road seems to be very long...

at last,

He knelt in front of the stone in a daze.

The red blood on the ground has dried up.

His figure fell to the ground, quietly feeling the place where she died.

The black figure overlapped with the figure she had fallen down a month ago.

He opened his mouth and let out silent roars and growls, which eventually turned into miserable laughter.

[Forgive me, 2B... I can't stay for too long. ]

[I won't do useless work. No matter what, I will make your existence meaningful. ]

[I am never afraid of death. What I am afraid of is that my death is meaningless. What I am even more afraid of is that your death is meaningless.]

although,

It has only been less than 2 days since I met 9B and 3S.

But such living people died in front of me.

That kind of impact goes straight to the depths of the soul.

It makes people feel heartbroken.

Ye Feng considered himself to be an emotionally rich person, and he hated to see others die.

of course,

Except enemies.

The Chinese nation has always been a nation that likes to farm, have a wife and children, and a warm bed.

of course,

If friends from the north are not interested in farming, then I do know a little bit about martial arts.

Confucius said: [I, as an old man, win people over with my virtue]

After he finished speaking, the muscles on his back faintly formed the shape of the Chinese character “德” (virtue).

N2, you hope to be convinced by me.

Leaving this sad place,

Ye Feng drove to the target location and jumped into the big pit at the bottom of the white giant tower.

The entrance to the giant white tower, the pure white door is tightly closed.

The plasma shield is still faintly visible above.

In front of the giant tower,

There are two gray-white buildings like spires and a column that soars into the sky.

It is surrounded by a rune-like plasma shield.

That is the secondary device of the 'Tower' and needs to be unlocked first.

[The color aesthetics of mechanical life forms... are hard to praise. ]

He walked to the first secondary device of the tower and entered the meat box key he had obtained.

Ding~,

Unlock successfully, shield disappears,

The hacking interface has been exposed.

Hacking!

It was easy for him to crack this encryption device.

He chopped down all the digitized trash formed by the numerous firewalls, even those defense devices that did not block his way.

He is now like a killing machine.

Need to vent emotions.

quickly,

All defense devices were destroyed and the core area was exposed to him.

A cold knife flashed, and the core area shattered, turning into starlight and disappearing in the data space.

Ye Feng walked towards the second auxiliary device again.

The third……

at last,

A melodious female electronic voice came from my ears:

"Congratulations! You have unlocked all sub-units.

If you enter the interior of the 'Tower', you will get the final grand prize...

Looking forward to seeing you! ”

Well……

Ye Feng curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a sneer.

Miss N2, I hope your big prize will not disappoint me...

"Assistive device, run the mechanical life form signal disguise program. Start the anti-hacking program. Start the logic virus anti-virus program."

"learn."

"Also, prepare to run the newly written self-destruction simulation program."

"learn."

See what tricks you have up your sleeve, if you still need someone to die for your broken encryption.

You just try it.

Ye Feng sneered and approached the gate of the white giant tower whose plasma shield had been eliminated.

Reaching out for its door lock device, he looked up at the sky, his heart filled with chill.

Ye Feng pressed his right hand directly on the door lock device and began searching inside, trying to find a hacking interface.

At the same time, 153 issued an alert:

"Report: Enemy alert level has been raised. Presumably, it is because 9M will invade the 'Tower', causing the enemy to be on alert."

The voice just fell,

From the top floor of the giant white tower, mechanical life forms with propellers flew out one after another, like a swarm of locusts, blocking out the sky and the sun.

They use the steel wires under the rotors to transport one mechanical life form after another holding sharp blades to the ground.

"Assist unit, detect whether the enemy has any ill intentions towards me."

"learn.

Report: The enemy's IFF system has been detected to have been forcibly modified, and the YoRHa unit 9M has been identified as an enemy. "

"You're not even trying to hide it?"

Ye Feng sneered and drew out his sword.
