NieR: Whirlpool

The design goal of all existence is ultimate destruction, and we have always been imprisoned in the spiral of life and death.

Is this a curse? Or a punishment?

But if I can, I want to pray for his happiness, this is my...

I could faintly hear the girl's prayer.

In a pure, flawless, snow-white space, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes.

He was a little confused and didn't know where he was.

He rubbed his eyes gently, trying to adapt to the dazzling environment. When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was actually suspended in mid-air.

Is this a dream?

At this moment, a series of pictures suddenly emerged in the space. These pictures were like a silent movie, constantly playing Ye Feng's past memories.

One of them was when I was a kid, I climbed up a stool to steal my sister's piggy bank while she was out, but I fell and broke my arm.

There was also the tragic case of a boy who molested his female classmate in middle school and was hung up and beaten by his father until his leg was broken;

There was also the embarrassing look when he choked and burst into tears when he tried to smoke for the first time;

There are also scenes of drinking and partying with good friends in college until the sun went down.

Among the many scenes, the largest number are the various game scenes. Especially the scenes from the most recent game NieR: Automata.

9S rushed to the ruins of the mall like a madman to look for Miss 2B, but witnessed the tragic scene of her lying in a pool of blood.

I, 9S, launched a desperate and fierce attack on A2...

Could this be the legendary revolving lantern of life? Am I already dead?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but slowly close his eyes.

Once again, an emotionless electronic broadcast voice came to my ears.

"Pod 154 has requested permission to activate the spare units in the bunker during the data inspection support of the accompanying support target 9M."

"Confirmed approval."

Meanwhile, in the bunker,

Pod 154 opens the door to the room with the words '9M' on it and drifts towards the bed.

Lying on the bed was a brand new YoRHa 9M.

The auxiliary machine 154 sends a series of signals to establish a data connection with the body.

In the data space, Ye Feng's eyes were pried open and he was forcibly awakened.

"Report, 9M unit, prepare for maintenance."

"Hey, I'm still alive. I'm in... oh, inside a digitized space."

What just happened?

Ye Feng pondered,

All of a sudden, a huge amount of memories flooded into Ye Feng's memory, and in an instant the memories became extremely clear.

"Recommended inspection: memory area," Pod 154 said.

"Okay, okay." Ye Feng put his hands behind his back and strode along the road formed by the data link.

“‘It’s good’ can be recognized by saying it once.”

"Okay." Ye Feng walked along the data link to the memory area. Of course, this was his memory area as a 9M body.

……

"The memory area has been checked, no problem. The visual sensor processing system has been checked, no problem. The auditory sensor processing system has been checked, no problem... All checked."

"Huh, the check is finally finished. This data check is too exaggerated." Ye Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

and many more!

Suddenly, he thought of something extremely terrifying.

Would reviving from the bunker infect me with the logic virus?

It was mentioned in the game's plot that when the bunker was created, the human army left a backdoor on the server. This backdoor would be opened at a certain time, and would eventually cause all members of the YoRHa army to be infected with a logic virus, resulting in their annihilation.

Ye Feng was puzzled. He analyzed carefully:

I was resurrected in the bunker, and a large amount of memories just flooded into my mind, and these data obviously came from the bunker server.

9S is responsible for uploading data packets that everyone has not had time to synchronize with the server to the bunker server. So has the virus already been hiding in it?

When was the back door opened?

Full of doubts, Ye Feng gradually woke up from the data space.

He opened his eyes and saw the pure white ceiling, bookshelves, and workbench...

It turns out that this is clearly room 9M in the bunker.

call……

Ye Feng took a deep breath and stretched his artificial body.

The scene of the decisive battle with Engels is still vivid in my mind.

The NFCS function, also known as the close combat function, once abnormal, the android's physical activity ability will decrease. In layman's terms, it will feel exhausted and collapse to the ground.

As for other system units, Ye Feng didn't take them seriously.

Who cares? As long as there is no problem with NFCS and it works, it’s fine!

"System, are you here?"

"Ah...ha..." The system seemed to yawn and said in surprise: "Host, you are awake!"

“Congratulations to the host for successfully experiencing death as a man-made person and completing a hidden mission. The rewards are as follows:

1. Special repair program for the bunker server backdoor.

2.0. Hacking program Ver.9. Already synchronized to M and auxiliary machines.

2.0. Firewall Program Ver.9. Already synchronized to the M and auxiliary machines.

Four,...

"System sister, I really miss you! Come here and let uncle give you a hug~".

When he heard the first reward, Ye Feng was overjoyed.

In this way, the backdoor of the bunker server can be repaired immediately, thus avoiding the tragic ending of YoRHa being wiped out.

I applied for an increased difficulty level.

This is the treatment that the male protagonist of a cool novel deserves.

Next, watch me — I’ll chop the mechanical nursing home with a knife and punch the mechanical kindergarten.

Hug a few more android girls, yeah, I want to hug 10 of them.

At this moment, Ye Feng in the consciousness space was opening his arms and walking towards the misty shadow-like digitized system entity with big strides.

"Host, please respect yourself, or I will scream..." came the system's slightly threatening voice.

"Haha, go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your throat out, no robot will come to save you, hiahiahia..." Ye Feng teased with a grin.

"Self-destruction...program...start..." The system's voice suddenly turned cold.

"No, no, no! Sister, I was just joking." Ye Feng stopped in disappointment, secretly groaning in his heart: Oops, I actually forgot about this!

Ye Feng spread his hands awkwardly and said:

"System, I have a problem..."

"It can be seen that the disease is in the brain." The system teased arrogantly.

"Don't make a fuss. I am a human being, and the androids are fighting for humanity. Why don't you just send me my human body? I will have a great country and a beautiful woman in my arms. Isn't that wonderful?"

The system pondered for a moment, then said quietly:

"What are you thinking, host? You have traveled here as a human being. You know how long your flesh and blood body can stay on a planet that has stopped rotating. If you die, you are really dead.

Using the YoRHa unit, as long as the data is available, it can be easily revived. Besides, the host..." The system seemed to take a deep breath.

He continued, "Do you think that all artificial humans are loyal to humans? There are no ambitious people among them?

The human beings on this earth have been extinct for 8000 years. Those artificial human scientists who are determined to revive the human race will extract your genes for research and revive the human race.

At that time, you were neither able to live nor to die. In their eyes, you were more precious than the giant pandas in Dragon Country. "

"Fuck you..." Ye Feng was shocked and felt that his 12 years of compulsory education were wasted.

After all, how could a large organization with so many individuals be of one mind? If you were unlucky enough to meet some people with abnormal brains, wouldn't you be doomed?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but shiver.

Then he raised another concern:

Then my human identity and memories won't be discovered, right? I'm using YoRHa's body now. If I upload the data package to the server, will it reveal that I was once a human?"

However, the system did not understand Ye Feng's mood at all. Instead, it imitated Ye Feng's signature laughter and made a strange cry of "hiahiahia..."

"Yes, host, I will chop you into pieces, hiahiahia..."

Hearing this laughter, Ye Feng's face became even uglier.

He gritted his teeth and said viciously:

"Then I won't play anymore. Just blow yourself up."

"Hey, host, I'm just teasing you. You must believe in my ability." The system put on a serious look and said in a quirky tone:

"The memories you had as a human being will never be revealed to anyone else.

When you enter this world, your memories as a 9M will be uploaded to 9S."

"Besides, you don't have to worry about your sneaky actions - such as helping 11B escape just now - being discovered by the human military leaders.

Because these memories are highly encrypted, there is no way to crack them!"

That's good……

Ye Feng's heart finally settled down and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

After all, he had just seen that the auxiliary machine had been blown into the sky by the black box reaction, but the auxiliary machine that appeared in front of him at this moment was still as new as before...

So he asked his questions to the system.

The system explained: "The auxiliary machine has a dedicated network and independent system, and has already built-in relevant instructions, which can provide the necessary follow-up support services for the YoRHa androids."

"By the way, the auxiliary machine was not set up with any instructions for monitoring.

Even if your actions can be considered as betrayal by the bunker, as long as they are not discovered by other androids, the aux machines will not reveal any of your actions, and you don't have to worry about the YoRHa executioner type machines clearing you out."

After a brief pause, the system continued:

"Host, please remember that your greatest advantage over those androids is that you have a human-like way of thinking. From today on, you are YoRHa Unit-9-M. Please continue to live your life as this."

"My foolish host, this world welcomes you."
