NieR: Whirlpool

041's eyes were bloodshot and he exuded a manic aura.

He clenched his fists, his whole body was shaking, and there was a crazy light in his eyes.

“Ye Feng…Ye Feng!”

041 screamed, his voice filled with pain and anger.

He turned around suddenly and punched the building next to him.

The metal wall dented instantly.

"I'm going to kill them all! All the androids, not a single one will be left alive!"

041 roared, the flame of revenge flashing in his eyes.

154 stood aside, tears silently falling.

She was equally heartbroken, but she suppressed her sadness and tried to comfort 041 who had fallen into madness.

"041, calm down!"

154 grabbed 041's arm, his voice trembling but still firm.

"Ye Feng wouldn't want to see you like this! The most important thing for us now is to find a way to save the situation. We can't let Ye Feng's sacrifice go to waste!"

041 shook off 154's hand and shouted furiously, "Recover? What is there to recover? Ye Feng is already dead!"

154 bit her lip, trying to hold back tears, her voice choked with sobs: "But we are still alive!"

041 stopped running, and his eyes gradually regained some clarity.

He looked at 154 and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Then what should we do?"

154 took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "We need to calm down and think carefully. Revenge is not urgent. We should still have remedial measures."

041 glared, "What did you say!?"

154 took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly: "041, we are all very sad, but now is not the time to be impulsive. We need to calm down and think about what Ye Feng will do."

The voice just fell,

154's shadow suddenly began to flicker, and a ball of golden energy slowly emerged from her body.

041 stared at the scene with eyes wide open in surprise.

"Is this...left by Number Nine?"

041 asked in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

154 nodded, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Before Nine disappeared, I felt this energy merge into my body. I never knew how to use it, but now..."

As if inspired by something,

041's body also began to emit a faint light.

A ball of golden energy similar to 154's emerged from his body.

The two looked at each other in surprise, as if they understood something.

041 took a deep breath and reached out his hand to 154.

"Maybe... this is the answer we are looking for."

154 shook 041's hand without hesitation.

In an instant, two balls of golden energy attracted each other, intertwined and merged in the air, forming a dazzling energy vortex.

The vortex spun faster and faster, and the light became brighter and brighter.

041 and 154 felt a strong and warm force flowing between them, as if some unknown channel had been opened.

"Is this... the hope that Number Nine left for us?"

154 said softly, tears of excitement glistening in his eyes.

041 held 154's hand tightly.

"No matter what, we must try. For Ye Feng, for No. 9, and for ourselves."

finished,

041 suddenly stepped into the golden vortex.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The transmission channel that was originally full of technology has turned into a chaotic and ruined space.

Countless tiny fragments of data were floating around, flashing faint lights.

Green spots of light floated and swam among the data fragments like fireflies. They were the remaining fragments of Ye Feng's soul.

There was a sad atmosphere in the space, as if whispering about a tragic battle.

041's heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and breathing became difficult.

He reached out and carefully touched a floating green light.

The light point obediently merged into his palm,

It brings a slight tingling sensation, and also a hint of familiarity.

That was Ye Feng's breath.

041's eyes instantly became moist.

He clenched his teeth.

Holding back the grief in my heart,

Started wandering in this broken space.

He carefully collected each green light and gathered them into his palm.

Every time he collected a point of light, the sorrow in his heart deepened.

But at the same time, there is also more determination.

He wanted to collect Ye Feng's remaining soul and revive him even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

Time passes minute by minute.

041 didn’t know how long he had stayed in this dilapidated space.

He only knows,

A ball of dazzling green light has gathered in the palm of his hand.

That was all that remained of Ye Feng’s soul.

041Take a deep breath and slowly close your eyes.

He pressed the green light in his palm against his chest and silently circulated the energy in his body.

He wanted to integrate Ye Feng's remaining soul into his own body.

Use your own strength to nourish them,

Until they come back to life.

It is a long and difficult process.

041's body began to tremble and his face turned pale.

But he didn't give up.

He knew that this was the only thing he could do for Ye Feng.

After an unknown amount of time, 041 slowly opened his eyes.

The green glow in his chest was gone, replaced by a warm, familiar feeling.

He knew that Ye Feng's residual soul had merged into one with him.

Although Ye Feng has not yet resurrected,

But at least,

His remaining soul was protected.

041 stood up and looked around.

The broken data space began to collapse, and countless data fragments turned into nothingness.

He knew that he should leave.

He took one last look at the space, turned around and stepped into a white light gate that appeared out of nowhere.

The light gate is closed.

The broken data space disappeared completely.

041 appeared in the office of the director of the development department at Satellite Base No. .

The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when Number Nine was there.

He approached a bed as usual.

The shadow of 041 stood quietly beside the android of No..

Staring at this body.

The image of the boy in white appeared a little blurry in the dim light, but his eyes were unusually firm.

Taking a deep breath, 041 slowly took a step forward and approached No. 's prosthetic body.

He reached out and gently touched the cold surface of the prosthesis.

A flow of energy began between the shadow and the prosthesis.

041 Close your eyes and concentrate.

He could feel his consciousness establishing a connection with the prosthesis.

This is a complex and delicate process that requires extremely high skills and mental strength.

but,

It was a piece of cake for him.

As time went on, the shadow of 041 began to become fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared completely.

at the same time,

Number Nine's prosthetic body trembled slightly, as if it had life.

After a few breaths, the prosthetic body's eyes slowly opened.

041 successfully integrated his consciousness into Nine's prosthetic body.

He flexed his fingers, adjusting to his new body.

He is number nine now.

He is the director of the development department of the Android 6 Satellite Base.

He wants to use this identity to avenge Ye Feng.

"Prime, just wait for me."

041's voice was low and cold, like a demon from hell.

He walked to the window and looked at the starry sky in the distance.

Countless satellites are orbiting, flashing cold light.

The shadow of 154 appeared beside him.

She still looked like the girl in the gray dress, but her eyes were full of worry.

Looking at "Number Nine", a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

041 nodded, his eyes firm. "For Ye Feng, for our mission, we have no choice."

"041, calm down."

154's voice was trembling.

"I know you're upset, but now is not the time to be impulsive."

"It's easy to destroy the androids, but this is not what Ye Feng wants to see!"

"N2 has failed, we need to find out why!"

041 turned around and looked at 154.

"So what?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Ye Feng is dead, he can't see anything!"

"And I am going to watch those androids go unpunished?"

"I can not do it!"

154 was silent.

She knew 041's pain and understood his anger.

But she knew better how critical the situation was.

If 041 loses his mind, it will only make things worse.

"041, listen to me."

154 took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.

She told 041 her thoughts.

041Silence again.

He knew 154 was right.

But the anger in his heart could not be easily quelled.

He clenched his fists.

Nails dig deep into the palms.

A trace of blood seeped out.
