NieR: Whirlpool

He took the mechanical life form design book and a data disk given to him by his new disciple. There were small, medium and large machines, as well as some strange designs. I don't know how he got this thing.

"How do we deal with this thing?" Ye Feng asked.

"This information is very valuable. Report it to the headquarters." 2B said.

"Okay, 2B. Please."

"Assistive device, scan the document and send it to the bunker," 2B ordered.

"learn."

Ding ding,

"This is Commander White calling for Team 2B of three."

"Communication is normal."

"The intelligence you have collected is very useful. For a long time, our understanding of the enemy was too superficial. Thank you for your contribution."

"learn."

Hang up the call,

"When I meet Senior Guai Kasi someday, I'll give these to her." Ye Feng said as he packed up the design booklet.

move on.

"There are actually mechanical life forms like this that are tired of killing and advocate martial arts." 2B asked in confusion.

9S said, "By the way, 9M, I hope nothing will happen to the martial arts information you gave him."

"Don't worry, within seven steps, the gun is fast. Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast." Ye Feng smiled and said, "I am also giving them a motivation to survive. People like me who are so chaste, haha."

2B took note of what he said unintentionally but listened attentively.

"9M, I noticed that you have a lot of good stuff. Did you find something extraordinary?" asked 9S.

"No, I just found some database data left by past humans. They are all about past human activities. There is nothing valuable."

In fact, Ye Feng did not lie.

(System: mmp...)

2B heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Finally, no need to..."

Her thoughts flew to a long time ago...

"It's not appropriate to call you that. 2...2B, I'll call you that for now. Please continue to observe the person. If you find anything wrong with the person, please report it immediately. If necessary, you can directly..."

This is the commander's order.

In an underground ruin...

"2B, do you really have to kill me? The YoRHa Project is a conspiracy. We're all going to die." A man yelled at her, "I want to save you!"

"2B, I can't tell you the details of this conspiracy, or you will be liquidated as well."

"2B, you don't have to do it. I can do it myself."

The man in front of him drew out his sword and fiercely stabbed his chest. A scream of pain came out of his mouth.

"2B, I understand you..."

She untied the black tactical goggles.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she leaned down and silently stroked the man's cold cheek...

"This isn't the first time, why are you..."

Unconsciously, tears slid down and soaked the tactical eyepiece.

Ye Feng noticed 2B's abnormality, thought about it, and plucked up his courage. He walked forward and put his right arm on 2B's shoulder:

"Oh my, beautiful girl, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about me, your brother?"

2B came out of her memories when she heard someone teasing her.

She looked at Ye Feng in front of her and suddenly laughed out loud.

"9M you are so funny."

She calmed down and said, "Let's go."

We continued walking until we came to an empty grassland. There was no one there, and no mechanical lifeforms were found. Occasionally there were a few animals, but they scattered and ran away when they saw everyone.

"Look there!" 9S pointed at the tall tower in the middle of the grass.

"Isn't that a signal base station?" 2B asked in confusion.

"No, look up." 9S said.

Following the direction of 9S's finger, everyone saw a round object standing on top of the base station tower, motionless.

It's a mechanical life form!

"He's... so weird." 2B said.

"How did he get up there?" 9S asked in confusion.

"Let's go and take a look." Ye Feng said.

The mechanical instructor they just met was beyond their understanding.

So now, the strange behavior of the mechanical life forms has made them extremely curious.

On the platform at the top of the tower, a small machine with long legs stood facing the wind, looking into the distance.

"Hello." 9S greeted.

The small machine was indifferent,

"The sound sensor is not working?" 9S asked in confusion. "Hello, what are you doing?"

Small machinery remains the same.

"It's broken." 9S finished his assessment.

"Report, the detection shows that the other party's system circuit is intact, but there is no response." Auxiliary machine 153 reported.

"That is to say, he heard it, but he is too lazy to pay attention to you, brother." Ye Feng said with a smile.

2B's lips twisted.

"I've been ignored. What's the point of ignoring someone?" 9S said with a tut. "Let me hack in and take a look."

"I'll come too, bro."

"I'm curious too," 2B said.

"Hack in!"

"Hack in!"

"Assistive device, hack in!"

The hacking team is in action!

The three of them were walking on the data link of the small machine. This, it was so easy to hack in,

There is not a single aggressive enemy around the space, just undefended machines.

move on.

"The thinking logic of this machine is complex and highly intelligent," Assist 042 analyzed.

They soon arrived at the memory unit, which showed scenes of war and killing.

"Looks like he's a veteran." Ye Feng said.

In one clip, there was a staccato electronic sound.

"I... exist... in this world...

My...meaning of existence...

Birth...meaning..."

Another fragment,

"In order to exist, one must be strong...

I can't accept that I was born to destroy others...

But then... why are we born into this world...

It hurts so much...it hurts so much..."

The screen turned,

"Why...we...

Why... is it so painful...

No one... help me...

I... don’t want... this kind of world…”

……

After listening to these words, the three of them fell into deep thought, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

"We don't know why the mechanical life forms were born in this world, so why are we born in this world?"

"Warning: Hacker activity has caused the electromagnetic wave frequency to be consistent. Vital signs are abnormal and the heart rate is increasing. The connection has been disconnected." The auxiliary machine reported.

so close!

"This machine life form is pondering the meaning of its existence," 9S said.

"Negative: Machine life forms do not have this kind of thinking pattern." Pod 153 explained.

"He can't find his own value... and feels pain?" 2B was puzzled. "He is just a machine."

But after experiencing the desert and the mechanical mentor, they have discovered that the mechanical life forms have undergone such changes. They no longer kill, but turn to think about the meaning of life.

Suddenly, a small mechanical electronic voice began to speak, with a sense of despair in the voice.

"We were made to fight!

To annihilate the enemy, transcend everything!

But the war never stops!

In the end, it is just repeated destruction and rebirth!

Become a cursed existence!

We are not loved by this world!

The world doesn't want us!

simply!!!!"

After saying this, the mechanical lifeform leaped forward.

"Auxiliary machine!" Ye Feng ordered after opening the script.

"learn."

Assist 154 grabbed the small machine that was ready to die, and slowly landed on the lawn.

The three of them climbed down the tower and surrounded them.

"A mechanical creature actually chose to commit suicide..." 9S muttered.

"Things like this..." 2B was also speechless.

"Don't worry, he won't die." Ye Feng said confidently.

"Hey, young man, can we talk properly now?" Ye Feng asked.

The mechanical lifeform stared blankly at the three people approaching: "Android, why did you save me?"

"It's nothing. It's not easy to watch you die." Ye Feng said.

"Are you ready to kill me with your own hands? Come on." said the small machine.

"I have no interest in enemies who have no intention of killing me." Ye Feng said, "You don't thank me for saving your life."

It had originally planned to die and put an end to all its problems, but after surviving and experiencing death, it seemed to have figured out some things.

"Thank you, android."

"Are you still dead?" Ye Feng asked.

“Next time...hehe, next time.” said the small machine.

The fear of death gave him an instant enlightenment.

"Since you think about the value of life in this way, I will call you Sage Mechanic." Ye Feng said, "You can also consider giving yourself a name in the future."

"Well, okay. Killing, death, and resurrection, this is not the world I want." said the Sage Machine.

"If you die, they can still resurrect you. It's better to live well." Ye Feng said: "Okay, I want to find out something from you."

"Why did you stop fighting?" 9S asked.

The Sage Machine fell into deep thought.

"When I was born, I would receive orders to kill the enemy regularly. Many years later, one day, an image flashed through my mind. It was a volcano, and a god erupted from it.

The god said something that I didn't remember, but strange thoughts came to me. These thoughts conflicted with the orders I received, and I was in pain.

Ah... so painful... killing..."

The Sage Machine suddenly covered his head.

"Auxiliary machine!" Ye Feng said.

"Understood. Electromagnetic signals have been detected linking the mechanical life form. The enemy's thought circuits show signs of disorder." Assist 154 detected.

"Unplug the network cable!" Ye Feng ordered.

"Understood. Shielding electromagnetic signals."

In an instant, the sage machine returned to normal.

"Thank you. These commands keep reappearing in my memory unit from time to time. There is a problem with the signal receiver control and I cannot connect and disconnect from the network normally. Can you help me?" Sage Mechanical requested.

2B glanced at 9S and said, "Help him."

"Ah, never mind. Since 2B asked me to do this, I'll do it.

After all, Miss 2B has already opened her mouth, and this is..."

9S starts to output again.

"9S?"

"Oh, haha." 9S touched his head awkwardly, then put his hand on the sage's mechanical shoulder.

Hacking!

This kind of thing is easy for 9S.

"Done. The signal receiver control device has been repaired." 9S rubbed his hands together in a very cool manner.

"Thank you so much."

The Sage Mech thanked them, then disconnected himself from the mechanical life form network and prepared to say goodbye to the three.

From now on, it is free.

"Wait, young man. I see that you have extraordinary talents. The responsibility of saving mechanical life forms and the world is now entrusted to you. I have a piece of information that may be of interest to you. I will give it to you for free. Do you think it's okay?"
