NieR: Whirlpool

Ye Feng sat behind the large desk.

Playing with an exquisite metal data badge in his hand,

That is the symbol of the supreme leader of the Dragon Kingdom's mechanical life form.

His eyes fell on a document spread out on the table, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Several Visions on the Future of Mechanical Life

Annie Mo Ning stood aside, looking at Ye Feng's focused expression.

She knew he was thinking about an important decision.

At this time,

A uniformed mechanical lifeform walked in, breaking the silence.

"General, the messenger sent to the desert has sent intelligence. Adam said... you need to go there in person."

Ye Feng raised his head, his eyes moved away from the document and fell on the mechanical life form. "Got it, you go down first." He said lightly.

"Yes!" The mechanical lifeform saluted and turned to leave.

The office fell silent again, with only the sound of Ye Feng's fingers tapping on the table.

"Ye Feng, are you really going?"

Anne Morning broke the silence, her voice full of worry.

"You are a human being now, and the only human being on Earth. Adam's research on humans... I'm afraid it will be dangerous if you go."

Ye Feng smiled slightly, put the metal badge in his hand on the table, and stood up.

"Don't worry, Miss Anne. I know what's going on."

He walked over to Annie Moning and patted her shoulder gently. "Although Adam is obsessed with studying humans, he is not a bad person by nature. What's more, he once owed me a favor."

"But……"

Annie Morning wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Feng.

"I know what you're worried about, but you have to trust my judgment."

Ye Feng's eyes were firm and confident.

"Adam is very simple. He won't do anything to me. Besides, he must have something important to talk to me about."

Annie Mo Ning looked at Ye Feng's confident face, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated. She knew that Ye Feng would not change his decision easily.

"So...when do you plan to leave?" asked Annie Morning.

"Let's go now." Ye Feng said, "Time is running out, we can't delay any longer."

"I'll go with you!" Annie Morning said without hesitation.

"No, you stay here, there are more important things to do."

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I can go alone."

"But……"

"No buts." Ye Feng interrupted Annie Mo Ning, "This is an order."

Annie Mo Ning looked at Ye Feng's unquestionable eyes and nodded. "Then...you must be careful."

"Don't worry." Ye Feng smiled, "Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

outside the door,

An empty HO fighter is ready to go.

It was exactly the one Ye Feng had seen before.

Next to them was a guard squad of Dragon Kingdom mechanical warriors, each flying a HO fighter.

Seeing Ye Feng, they all saluted.

"Your Excellency General!"

Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction and returned a military salute.

"set off!"

……

On the other side, there is a mammoth settlement in the desert.

Adam stood on a high sand dune,

His long white hair fluttered in the wind, and his deep blue eyes stared at the sky, as if he wanted to see through the entire horizon.

Ever since he received the news from the communicator that Ye Feng was about to arrive, he has been standing here, looking forward to it, and never leaving for a moment.

"Brother, who are you waiting for?"

Eve leaned lazily against the ruins of a nearby wall, her short silver hair gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

He yawned and asked boredly.

"I'm waiting for an old friend." Adam said without turning his head, his voice full of anticipation and excitement.

"Old friend?" Eve was slightly startled, then curled her lips, "We mechanical life forms still have friends?"

"Of course." Adam's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, "He is a very interesting person."

"Interesting?" Eve's eyes flashed with curiosity, "How interesting is it?"

"You'll know soon." Adam smiled mysteriously and continued to look into the distance.

Eve shrugged and said nothing more, just stayed quietly beside Adam.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally a group of black spots appeared in the sky.

Adam's eyes lit up as he recognized it as a formation of HO fighter planes belonging to the Dragon Kingdom's mechanical life forms.

"Here it comes!" Adam's voice was full of excitement. He hurriedly jumped off the sand dune and ran towards the direction where the fighter plane landed.

Seeing this, Eve hurriedly followed.

The fighter plane slowly landed on the open space of the mammoth settlement, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The cabin opened and Ye Feng's figure appeared in Adam's sight.

"9M! No, I should call you Ye Feng now."

Adam was obviously stunned when he saw Ye Feng, but he still recognized this man at a glance.

He walked quickly to Ye Feng with a bright smile on his face.

"long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Adam."

Ye Feng also responded with a smile,

He reached out his hand and shook Adam's tightly.

"You are really well-informed. You found out about this not long after I came back."

"Haha," Adam said with a smile, "I'm always keeping an eye on your movements."

"It seems that you really can't forget me." Ye Feng joked.

"Of course." Adam's eyes flickered with a strange light, "My 'interest' in you has never diminished."

"As expected, you are a human being. In fact, you are the only human being in this world."

"Cough cough..." Ye Feng coughed twice.

"Well, Adam, I'm here for something serious."

"I know, I know." Adam nodded repeatedly, "But before that, I want to explain something to you first."

"Explanation?" Ye Feng was a little confused.

"Yes." Adam's expression turned serious. "I did have some doubts about your identity before, and I did some research, but I promise that I have absolutely no ill intentions."

"Of course I believe you." Ye Feng smiled, "After all, you once saved my life."

"That's good." Adam breathed a sigh of relief. "In fact, I always regard you as a friend, no matter you are a robot or a human."

"Me too." Ye Feng nodded. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What is the matter that you want to see me about?"

"Follow me, and you'll find out."

Adam smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked towards the depths of the Mammoth Settlement.

"I'll take you to see my latest research results."

Ye Feng looked at Adam's back and couldn't help feeling curious.

He followed Adam and headed into the unknown.

Eve followed behind the two of them silently, like a nobody who said nothing.

"Please follow me, Ye Feng."

Adam greeted warmly,

"I can't wait to show you what I've accomplished."

Saying,

He led Ye Feng into a laboratory converted from an abandoned building.

The laboratory is brightly lit, and various instruments and equipment are flashing with a faint blue light, giving it a sci-fi atmosphere.
