NieR: Whirlpool

In the vast data space, Ye Feng and 9S walked side by side on the data link.

“9M, I never expected that. You always tease me in different ways, but you’re actually a pretty nice person.” 9S said with a hint of emotion.

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but pout: "Hey, brother, I was just joking with you, just for fun. If you really encounter danger, I will definitely rush forward without hesitation to block the bullet for you!"

“Haha, young man, don’t take it too seriously. It’s me, your senior, who should be responsible for leading the charge into battle,” 9S responded with a smile.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

At this moment, the two seemed to have a telepathic connection, they knelt down and embraced each other, and burst into tears, just like brothers who had been separated for many years and reunited. After a while, they supported each other and stood up, staring at each other, their eyes full of deep affection.

“Ahem…alright, alright, stop being sentimental and get down to business. Business is more important.” 9S coughed lightly, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"We'll talk about our brotherhood someday." Ye Feng chuckled.

9S coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

Ye Feng and 9S continued to move forward. When they passed a memory unit, they saw countless memory fragments falling like snowflakes.

However, at this moment, the originally peaceful space suddenly became filled with strong winds, blowing up dust all over the sky. Then, dark shadows emerged from all directions like ghosts and rushed straight towards them.

"What is that?" Ye Feng asked in surprise, his eyes fixed on the black shadows in front of him.

9S's eyes were firm and resolute. He said softly, "The nightmare of Divara and Popola." He drew his sword silently, "Let's go."

"Here comes the sword!"

Following Ye Feng's roar,

The two men attacked forward with swords in hand, their blades intersecting and sparks blazing. The swords in their hands flashed with cold light, and the flashes of swords and shadows intertwined, forming a dazzling picture.

In the fierce battle, the black shadow gradually couldn't withstand the attack of the two, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated in the memory space.

At this moment, the auxiliary machine's voice sounded: "Warning, partial memory data damage detected in the target, do you want to restore it?"

"Restore memory." Ye Feng gave the order without hesitation.

After dealing with the enemy in front of them, they continued to move forward and finally arrived at the main program block.

"Look, there it is," 9S shouted, pointing at a block of data that was clearly black.

As if sensing the danger, suddenly, the black gas attached to the block rose from the ground and quickly deformed, turning into a huge monster several meters tall with a hideous face.

At the same time, there were four smaller black shadows surrounding them, staring at Ye Feng and 9S with eager eyes.

In an instant, the black shadow rushed towards the two people like lightning, with a speed so fast that it was shocking. The huge monster followed closely behind, bringing infinite pressure, step by step.

"Offensive defense code!" 9S looked as if he was facing a great enemy, his eyes becoming extremely serious. "We must kill those minions first!"

Ye Feng tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and he dodged the sudden attacking black shadow like a flash of lightning. He swung the long sword in his hand, carrying an unparalleled sharp sword light, and fiercely slashed at the next enemy.

The sword flashed and the black shadow was instantly split in half, and then turned into a ball of strange black mist and merged into Ye Feng's body.

"Warning, enemy hacking signals detected, clearing in progress, clearing progress 30%, 70%, 90%,

Warning, the hacking signal contains destructive code.

Report: We are currently improving the 9M machine's anti-hacking program based on its code characteristics.

Report, hacking code clearing completed.

Report, anti-hacking procedures have been completed." Assist 154 sounded an alarm.

In the real world, accompanied by a crackling sound, violent electric sparks burst out of Ye Feng's body.

"9M..." 2B's voice was filled with worry.

No one else here could see her, but at this moment she no longer needed to pretend to be indifferent and ignore everyone.

Pull the perspective back to the data space,

Ye Feng grimaced in pain. He looked at 9S who was fighting fiercely with the shadow and shouted anxiously:

"Senior, be careful!

The shadow seems to be able to reverse hack into our data system!"

Then, he turned around and gave an order to the auxiliary machine in the memory space:

"Send the improved Anti-Hacking Program 2.0 to 9S."

After receiving the command, the auxiliary machine immediately responded: "Understood, packaging the program..."

The next moment, Ye Feng swiftly dodged the monster's huge foot hanging high above him.

At the same time, a ball of light emitting golden light appeared in his hand.

"Brother, go on."

9S nimbly dodged the enemy's surging black gas attack in mid-air, leaped up and caught the ball of light thrown by Ye Feng in his hand.

"Loading Anti-Hacking Program 2.0." 9S did not hesitate and quickly started the program loading process...

at the same time,

Several small black shadows rushed into 9S's body, thinking they had succeeded, and began to destroy him wantonly. 9S closed his eyes at the same time.

In the real world, there was a crackling sound and slight electric sparks appeared on 9S's body.

"Report! The enemy's hacking signal has been successfully intercepted and cleared." Assist 153 issued a notification.

9S opened his eyes and a frightening light flashed in them. He swung his sword and pointed it at the gigantic monster in front of him.

The monster was obviously unwilling to accept defeat. It waved its arms and instantly summoned two even larger black shadows to stand on its left and right.

Three huge monsters approached the two of them.

"Is it never going to end?" Ye Feng cursed and then shouted:

"Senior, help me. I can defeat him in one move."

"Attached to the killing program, target: Pure White Contract."

"Provide energy support to 9M, 99%." 9S roared.

Before he finished speaking, the long sword in Ye Feng's hand suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, and the sword body instantly increased several times in length.

Then it grew again, reaching a full 40 meters!

He swung his sword and swept it across with the force of thunder.

In an instant, the monster and the two black shadows it summoned disappeared like bubbles, and finally turned into fine raindrops all over the sky, falling down.

"Is it raining?" Ye Feng was exhausted and felt weak. He slowly raised his head and felt the raindrops.

Then, he pulled himself together and ordered, "Assistive machine, load the unloading program."

"Analysis report: The program is bound to the OS program (operating system, equivalent to the human brain), uses a closed-loop encryption algorithm, and cannot be uninstalled." The auxiliary machine reported.

"What do you mean?"

"It's like humans living on cancer cells." Assist 154 searched for a while and explained.

“This! Is this the only way to uninstall it…” 9S looked embarrassed when he heard this.

"No, there must be other ways." Ye Feng said anxiously.

Think! Think carefully! There is definitely no such perfect algorithm!

"Scan this program's code for vulnerabilities."

"Scanning... Found a vulnerability. Has been hacked," the pod reported, "Part of the program code can be modified."

"Which part?" Ye Feng asked.

"The twin machines' confession object can be modified. It is recommended to change it to 9M. Are you sure?" asked the auxiliary machine.

"Can't it be set to empty?" Ye Feng asked.

"A fatal algorithm error will occur." The auxiliary machine reported.

What should I do?

Although I am a lustful person, I am not a bastard.

Ye Feng kept thinking that he didn't want to control the two sisters in this way, which was tantamount to imprisoning them in disguise.

Ye Feng, who couldn't think of any good solution at the moment, was sweating profusely.

At this moment, a hand was placed on Ye Feng's shoulder.

“That’s all, 9M.” It was 9S who spoke.

Moreover, his figure began to flicker, and his energy had reached its lowest point.

He said with difficulty:

"We can't delay this for too long!"

At the same time, a female voice was heard from the empty data space.

"Mr. 9M, thank you, you tried your best." Popola's voice.

"Go ahead, Mr. 9M, we don't regret it. You don't have to worry." It was Divara's voice.

Seeing that his energy was about to run out, Ye Feng scratched his head.

At this moment, the figures of him and 9S began to blur, and he immediately made up his mind.

"Assistive device, confirm!"

A white light flashed, and the data space shattered.
