NieR: Whirlpool

In this passionate atmosphere,

9S looked at Ye Feng curiously, wondering what kind of past and experience he had.

2B also looked at Ye Feng with a comforting expression. This experience made her feel the warmth and kindness of human nature.

As for Ye Feng, a warm feeling surged in his heart, as if he had found the meaning of his existence.

Before leaving, Ye Feng handed the information about Spartacus and Sparta to the leading machine.

"Thank you Mr. 9M and the androids. Mr. 9M will be our spiritual leader from now on, and we will not take the initiative to conflict with the androids.

We will free all oppressed people, not just our own kind, but artificial beings as well.

Moreover, no matter whether they are artificial humans or mechanical creatures of the same kind, as long as they dare to enslave others, they are our enemies.

We will build a peaceful country and defend our homeland. And we will always remember your instructions - armed struggle is the key to peace. "

……

After bidding farewell to the Kingdom of Sparta, the three set out to return to the camp.

They were riding in the same car because Ye Feng's car had been sacrificed in the recent battle.

They crossed the desert for a long time and finally arrived at the edge of the ruined city.

At this moment, Ye Feng, who was driving, saw a tricycle in the distance.

"Emile?"

Emile was facing a 'Tear of the Moon', staring at it in a trance, as if he was thinking about something.

Ye Feng immediately became interested and slowed down.

"Go talk to him."

Suddenly, 2B, who had been silent until now, spoke up:

"Let's go back."

He turned around and saw 2B with her head turned to the window, seemingly staring at something in a trance.

"Okay." Ye Feng didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them understood each other tacitly.

The car sped away in a cloud of dust.

2B stared blankly at the jungle in the distance with empty eyes.

Her thoughts went back to several months ago.

The forest, an abandoned underground space,

The light was dim and the atmosphere was depressing.

A man held a long sword in his hand and pointed it at himself with a ferocious look.

The expression on the man's face gradually overlapped with the expression on 9M's face when he just slaughtered the mechanical general.

She knelt on the ground, with the weapon in her hand thrown aside, her eyes full of despair and fatigue.

She said softly:

"I don't want to kill you anymore. Just kill me... and run away quickly after that."

The man was heartbroken when he heard this. He widened his eyes and asked:

"Why is all this happening?"

He thrust his sword hard into the ground, making a sharp sound.

He was breathing heavily and laughing miserably, as if he had understood all the truth.

She still sat quietly on the ground, motionless, and the air around her seemed to freeze.

The man suddenly made up his mind, stretched out his hand to draw the sword, but he was unable to pull it out.

He used all his strength, and finally,

Keng~~

The long sword was drawn.

She prayed silently in her heart: I hope all this will end as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, the man suddenly made a surprising move.

puff~

The long sword pierced into the man's body and passed through him.

She looked up in astonishment and looked at the scene in front of her.

The man gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, the sword pierced his chest, and blood gushed out.

He opened his mouth and let out a painful wail. The sound echoed throughout the space, heartbreaking.

"You? Why?" She was stunned.

The man raised his head, the corners of his bloodstained mouth moved, and he let out a low and hoarse groan:

"So... next time, they will send you... haha... to monitor me.

I can be with you again..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man fell straight to the ground.

"You...are always like this..."

She was heartbroken, but she smiled in sorrow, hugging the man's cold body tightly, and her dress was stained red with blood...

……

Resistance camp,

Inside the resistance camp, the narrow space seemed a bit crowded, and three people were squeezed tightly into Ye Feng's room.

There was an eerie silence in the room. The two men smoked their e-cigarettes silently, looking at each other but not speaking.

After a long while, 2B finally broke the silence:

"9M, go ahead."

There was a hint of solemnity in her voice.

"Yeah, what's your secret?" 9S took off his tactical goggles and puffed out smoke.

There was a sense of curiosity and anticipation in his tone.

“If you confess, you will be treated with leniency, if you resist, you will be treated with severity.”

This is a new word he learned recently, and it is just right to express their expectations for Ye Feng at this moment.

"It's okay, just tell me." 2B encouraged again, hoping to hear Ye Feng's true feelings.

After another long silence, Ye Feng slowly raised his head.

He took a deep breath and slowly took off the black goggles.

There was hesitation and worry in his blue eyes.

"I'm afraid if I tell you, we'll just break up."

His voice was low and firm, as if it contained endless pain and helplessness.

9S's gaze froze, and he stared at Ye Feng fiercely, as if he wanted to see the secret deep in his heart through his eyes.

2B bit her lip, her expression becoming increasingly tense.

In a moment, she suddenly stood up, drew out her sword, and pointed it straight at Ye Feng.

"2B!!!" 9S exclaimed, his voice filled with shock and worry.

Surprisingly, 2B did not attack, but instead threw it aside with her backhand.

Keng~~

The pure white contract pierced deeply into the wall, making a buzzing sound, as if expressing some unspeakable determination.

"You don't believe me!" 2B looked at Ye Feng coldly, took off his tactical eyepiece, revealing those captivating eyes.

Ye Feng raised his head and looked at her.

After a long silence, he said:

"That's it!"

He whispered to himself, "Even if I die, I don't want to watch you two die in obscurity."

"If what I say next gets out, I will be executed at any time." Ye Feng continued speaking with a heavy and firm tone.

"9M!!!"

9S looked at Ye Feng in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"You can tell me now without worry." 2B said coldly, her voice so calm that it made people feel a little chilly.

"More than nine thousand years ago, the goal that all of us were striving for - human beings - has become extinct." Ye Feng said this slowly.

"what?"

9S' eyes widened and he stood up, the vape gun in his hand slipping and falling to the ground unconsciously.

"How could this be?" 2B's body suddenly froze and she stepped back involuntarily, as if she couldn't accept this fact.

"2B!" 9S quickly supported her and asked with concern.

At the same time, he turned to look at Ye Feng, his eyes full of confusion and shock, and said: "Is this the news you told Adam?"

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his eyes.

2B looked at 9S, fear and pain flooding her heart.

She felt that the thing she had been protecting deep in her heart, like a mirror, was shattered in an instant.
