NieR: Whirlpool

A broken auxiliary machine was suspended crookedly in the air, trying to maintain its balance.

"呵啦...呵啦..."

Amid the sound of unstable electric current, a white shadow was projected.

The shadow gradually became clear, revealing the outline of a girl in white.

She stood in the center of the base's command hall, surrounded by a mess.

On the ground, the remains of mechanical life forms were lying in a mess, with broken limbs and shattered parts scattered all over the ground.

The smell of burnt metal mixed with the pungent smell of motor oil filled the air.

Occasionally, flashes of electric sparks illuminated the hideous wounds on the wreckage.

Among them, there were several bodies of Yoshiha in white. Their white combat uniforms had long been stained red with blood and were in tatters.

The eyes that symbolize life have become completely dim.

Prime, a mechanical life form made of fluid metal,

His burly figure stood at the other end of the hall, his electronic eyes fixed on the shadow of the girl in white.

On the metal face, the muscles were twisted and veins bulged.

"Why!"

Prem's voice was low;

Every word was squeezed out from between teeth, carrying with it uncontrollable anger.

"007...why are you attacking here!?"

The shadow of the girl in white swayed slightly, seeming a little unstable.

Her voice was cold and without a trace of emotion.

"Prime, you betrayed humanity."

"You don't need to exist."

Prime's electronic eyes flashed red.

He took a step forward and the ground made a dull "thump" sound.

"betray?"

Prime's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of madness.

"What do you know!"

"What's so good about humans?"

He waved his arms violently, pointing at the remains of the mechanical life forms.

"They have long been extinct!"

"Just a bunch of ghosts that linger around!"

Prime's chest rose and fell violently, and his voice echoed in the empty hall.

"We, the artificial humans, should also have a meaning for our existence!"

He pointed to his chest, where the mechanical heart transformed from the core of a mechanical life form was beating vigorously.

"That human..."

There was a hint of gnashing hatred in Prime's voice.

"Ye Feng, he will bring all of us androids into the abyss!"

The shadow of the girl in white sneered, her voice full of disdain.

"Poor thing."

She looked at Prem with contempt.

"You don't understand anything."

The girl in white's voice became flat, but every word was clearly heard by Prime.

"Now, the war is over."

She looked around, her eyes sweeping over the wreckage.

"Whether we are artificial humans or mechanical life forms, we are the only ones on Earth."

“We want to continue our civilization.”

Prime's electronic eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared coldly at the girl in white.

"Continuation of civilization?"

He scoffed.

"As long as that human is here, we can use his cells and tissues to revive humans."

"I am the commander-in-chief of the human army, for the future of artificial humans,"

"I! I won't allow it!"

Prem's voice was firm and unquestionable.

The shadow of the girl in white suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter echoed in the empty hall, sounding particularly harsh.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She looked at Prem with mockery in her eyes.

"what's so funny!"

"Everything I do is for the future of artificial humans."

"But you, the one who killed your most proud YoRHa with your own hands."

"I don't care. After all, they are destined to be destroyed."

"But you didn't even spare White!"

The girl in white narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything, as if her pain point had been touched.

"You are the executioner!"

Prem pointed at the girl in white and shouted angrily, very angry.

The girl in white bit her lip.

"No one can doubt my loyalty to humanity, even if I am an executioner!"

"Don't talk without considering the facts. Do I need to remind you of your role in these matters?"

"How foolish!"

The voice of the girl in white suddenly turned cold.

Saying,

She waved and turned on the projection.

The video playing above is the newly released YoRHa Commander White.

Hugging a man tightly,

The scene of friendly greetings with tears in eyes.

The man seemed to enjoy it very much.

Because the commander's heart is too broad.

It made him breathless.

At the side, the girl in black clothes and long hair clenched the sword in her hand, her beautiful eyes wide open.

Behind the girl, another lively girl (number four) hugged her shoulders tightly, as if teasing her.

Prime was unaware of anything in the background;

His focus is on White.

I was so surprised that I couldn't speak.

"You have no idea what Ye Feng is really going to do."

She paused and spoke word by word.

"He's not trying to resurrect humans."

"It is to transfer the consciousness of existing mechanical life into human bodies."

The voice of the girl in white echoed in Prem's ears.

Every word was like a hammer, hitting his core program hard.

"From now on, whether it's a machine life form or an artificial human..."

"We are human beings."

Prime's body froze there, the light in his electronic eyes flickering violently.

He seemed to be shocked by the words of the girl in white, and there was chaos in the core program.

The shadow of the girl in white looked at him coldly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"I will continue to send people."

Her voice was cold and without a trace of emotion.

"You take care of yourself."

finished,

The shadow of the girl in white disappeared in an instant, leaving only the broken auxiliary machine, which fell weakly to the ground with a muffled "bang".

Prem still stood there, motionless.

The light in the electron's eyes flickers.

After a long time,

"commander……"

The weak voice echoed in the hall, carrying a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Heavy footsteps came closer and closer, and a badly damaged mechanical life form walked in.

Its metal shell is covered with cracks and burnt marks.

The left arm was broken at the root, revealing the complex circuits and flashing sparks inside.

His right leg was also severely deformed, and every step he took would make a teeth-grinding metallic friction sound.

This mechanical life form is Tom Parker.

He knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Commander, I was incompetent and failed to prevent 007's destruction."

Prem turned slowly.

The electronic eye scanned Tom Parker's broken body, and a complex emotion flashed in its eyes.

He raised his hand and motioned for Tom Parker to stand up.

"Do not blame you."

Prem's voice was low;

"007's strength far exceeded our expectations."

Tom Parker stood up slowly, his electronic eyes flashing with resentment and anger.

"Commander, we have found the location of the lair of the White-clad Yoriha."

Prime's electronic eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for Tom Parker's next words.

"They...occupied the former satellite base No. 6 - Lab."

There was a hint of hatred in Tom Parker's voice.

"That place was once the scientific research center of our human army. It has complete defense facilities and powerful energy supply."

"Lab..." A glimmer of reminiscence flashed in Prime's electronic eyes.

That place once carried the hopes and dreams of so many artificial humans.

"Commander, should we use satellite weapons to completely destroy it?"

There was a hint of determination in Tom Parker's voice.

"With just your order, we can wipe out those traitors!"

Prem was silent.

His electronic eyes flickered, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

After a long moment, Prime slowly waved his hand.

"Do not……"

His voice was low and hoarse.

"007 is not the main problem."

Tom Parker was stunned.

He raised his head and looked at Prem in confusion.

"But Commander..."

"No buts."

Prem interrupted him, speaking firmly.

He turned around slowly.

With his back to Tom Parker, he walked towards the French window in the hall.

Outside the window is a virtual sky, pitch black without any starlight.

He slowly spread out his palms.

A ball of black data energy surged in his palm.

Like a weak life, struggling in the darkness.

a long time,

Prem turned around.

"Go ask Director Zegna from the Development Department to come over."

Tom Parker said, about to turn and leave.

"Tom!"

Prem calls him.

"commander?"

Prime opened his mouth and finally waved his hand.

"Remember to repair your body."

Tom Parker was puzzled for a moment.

"Yes."
