NieR: Whirlpool

A large opera house, with some mechanical life forms either standing in the audience or sitting in chairs in the viewing area on the second floor.

"Are they imitating humans?"

9S stared at the strange scene in front of him.

In his heart, he was unwilling to accept the fact that mechanical life forms could think.

“It should just be imitating human behavior…

Mechanical life forms don’t have the ability to think in this regard, but it’s hard to say for sure.”

9S murmured silently.

The scene before my eyes could not be explained.

"Warning, there are many androids reacting in this room." Assist 042 reported.

"Be safe and be careful," 2B said.

At this moment,

A small robot started the performance on the stage. She was dressed in pink, with lip gloss on and thick black eyebrows.

"I am Juliet...Juliet, who is my Romeo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small blue machine appeared on the stage.

"Juliet...Juliet, I'm Romeo."

"Oh, Romeo, Romeo, I love you."

At this moment, the second pink machine came jumping on stage, muttering: "My Romeo... I am Juliet, Juliet."

Then, the second blue machine came on stage...

In the blink of an eye, there were four Romeos and three Juliets standing on the stage.

"There are too many Romeos. Kill them."

"There are too many Romeos. Kill them."

A cold mechanical sound came out of the pink mechanical mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the machines started fighting each other.

Accompanied by the screams of mechanical death, the two blue machines exploded.

The remaining machines look at each other.

"There are too many Juliets. Kill them."

The scene was very chaotic...

In the end, only a mechanical lifeform was left standing among the smoking parts.

"Since everyone is dead, then I am also... dead."

Boom~

As soon as she finished speaking, she exploded on the spot.

Everything falls silent.

"Good, good, good."

Mechanical sounds came from the audience below the stage, and they were cheering.

"This is indeed the case. Mechanical life forms are just mechanical life forms. They have no emotions and can only imitate humans meaninglessly." S said.

A mechanical announcer walked onto the stage and spoke in a halting voice:

"Then... the next program... the song... please..."

In an instant, the machines in the hall seemed to be stimulated by something and fled out of the theater.

Peanuts, melon seeds, popcorn and mineral water were scattered on the ground.

"What's going on?" 2B realized something was wrong and her alarm bells went off.

Pod 042: "Report, large enemy mechanical lifeform detected, danger level: high."

"A machine life form can be afraid? Can it run away?" 9S clicked his tongue.

The huge curtain slowly opened, and a huge figure appeared. It slid to the front of the stage.

The announcer, who had not yet had time to leave the stage, was crushed to death by the machine.

She is about 8 meters tall, red all over, and looks like a person wearing a long skirt.

Looking closely, I saw that the skirt was made of layers of iron sheets, and hanging around the waist were parts of various mechanical life forms, as well as the bodies of artificial humans.

Wearing a golden headband. A round mechanical lifeform head is exposed in front of the chest, and the two eyes on the head are glowing green.

It seems that this head is her real body.

The mechanical singer, her name was Simone de Beauvoir. Ye Feng recognized her and knew her weaknesses clearly.

Should I play with her for a bit, or kill her right then and there?

Ye Feng thought to himself,

At this moment,

Beauvoir was singing a shrill and terrifying song, moving quickly towards the three people. There should be wheels and jet engines under her feet.

The hem of her skirt is made of sharp saws and a series of small-caliber laser launchers, and there is a muzzle on her chest that fires electromagnetic energy bullets.

The saw spun violently, and the three men jumped to avoid the sharp blade.

Looking at the saw that could easily cut off his body, Ye Feng thought, he should stop playing.

Fighting is a serious matter!

Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately ordered:

"It's terrible! Auxiliary machine, music."

"Understood." Assistive Device 154 understood and began playing the music from the game NieR: Automata - Beautiful Song.

In an instant, the fighting atmosphere reached an unprecedented high.

"System, can I kill this guy?"

The system did not respond, and it was obvious that Ye Feng was left to figure it out on his own.

In other words, the system is also very conflicted about whether to kill or not.

In reality, Beauvoir launched several lasers at everyone.

High-energy lasers can cause damage if touched.

The three had to take shelter.

"2B, attack his waist." Ye Feng shouted!

Good opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment when she turned around, 2B, who heard Ye Feng's words, quickly gave the order.

"Auxiliary machine, close range shooting, maximum power. Target: waist."

Instantly, a dazzling laser shot out and fiercely hit the waist of the machine.

There were bursts of explosions.

The enemy's movement speed has dropped visibly, their agility has significantly decreased, and their motion sensors have been significantly damaged.

"efficient!"

The two of them felt relieved, and 2B and 9S looked at Ye Feng with admiration in their eyes.

The severely damaged enemy was unwilling to give up and continued to attack the crowd.

She made an unpleasant sound.

In an instant, crosses fell from the sky and stuck into the ground of the theater.

There was an artificial man tied to each cross. They had bloodshot eyes and wide open mouths, looking very weird.

"This is..." 9S looked at the scene in horror.

Before he finished speaking, Ye Feng directly erected a plasma shield in front of him.

"Brother! Don't be distracted!"

Ripples appeared on the plasma shield, a sign that it had blocked the local hacking signal.

A large number of androids on the crosses began to send out hacking signals, trying to break down the defenses of the three people from within.

The three of them kept moving around, avoiding the signals or hiding behind the shield.

"Forget it! I don't want to play with you anymore!"

Ye Feng cursed loudly and then ordered his auxiliary machine to attack.

9S seized the opportunity and ordered the auxiliary machine to attack, also targeting the enemy's waist.

Two high-energy lasers bombarded the enemy on both sides of the waist one after another.

Amid a series of explosions,

The enemy quickly stopped moving, and the firing laser launchers and spinning saws also stopped working.

Ye Feng jumped up and swung his sword, and the muzzle of the electromagnetic energy bullet fired at the enemy's mechanical chest exploded.

"You are quite capable of close-range shooting with three auxiliary machines." Looking at Beauvoir whose functions had stopped, Ye Feng sneered.

"Assist unit, check the enemy's situation," 2B ordered.

"Understood. Enemy action sensors are damaged, weapon systems are ineffective, threat level 5%. Vital signs are intact." Auxiliary machine 042 reported.

"That is to say, its main body is still alive, but the additional parts are all useless. But what does a 5% threat level mean?" 9S asked in confusion.

"That means she might fall down and crush you to death." Ye Feng teased as he looked at the machine in front of him that had been disarmed and disarmed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Beauvoir's body tilted and fell towards someone.

9S was startled and quickly dodged.

Okay, the threat level is now 0.

Rumble~

As the floor was smashed through, a large number of android corpses emerged from underground.

“This!” 9S, still frightened, opened his mouth in horror, unable to speak.

"Assisted machine, check the life status of all androids." 2B, who was still able to remain calm, looked around at the numerous crosses, her eyes fell on the floor, and then gave the order.

"Understood! Report: In addition to the androids that are clearly dead, there are still a large number of androids with vital signs, relying on the enemy's system to maintain their life." Assist 042 reported.

"Can he be saved?" 2B asked.

"They rely on the enemy's energy supply, and their own vitality has long been gone." Assist 042 reported.

"That is to say, it is equivalent to a puppet." Ye Feng replied.

2B sighed and looked at the fallen mechanical singer.

"What to do with her?"

It seems that the enemy's mechanical life form is still making some sound?

Don't rest your eyes!

“Kill him!” 9S drew his sword and walked over slowly.

"Let's hack in and see, maybe we can find some useful clues." Ye Feng suggested, thinking about the settings in the game,

Whether to kill you or not depends on the mood of these two people.

Not killing is not enough to comfort the androids and mechanical life forms he killed.

Kill him, Ye Feng thought he was not that noble,

Why, should I say this, you have committed heinous crimes and killed countless people, and as the embodiment of justice, today I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven.

Justice will prevail.

Haha, justice is nothing but a high-sounding term used by some people.

"Agree.", "Agree."

Hacking,

Hacking.

Assistive device, hacking. (As a computer novice, 2B needs the help of an assistive device to hack into other electronic devices.)
