NieR: Whirlpool

October 1st,

晴，

Today is a good day to hold a meeting.

Tokyo City,

A modern conference center has sprung up on the former ruins.

Sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into the spacious and bright conference hall.

In the center of the conference room is a circular table with a dark surface that exudes a cold, hard luster.

Around it are seats for diplomats and secretaries.

Uniform and neat, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

Further away are high-ranking officials from all over the world.

Some of them sat upright, while others talked in low voices, with different expressions on their faces.

Rays of light flickered,

The shadows of mechanical life forms were projected on the seats beside the round table.

"The leader of the Nordic mechanical lifeforms, Frey Odinson."

The cold and solemn electronic synthesized sound echoed in the venue.

"Latin American mechanical bio-leader, Quito Alvarez."

"Tom Parker, Commander-in-Chief of the North American Human Army."

Tom Parker had a calm expression. He stood up straight and swept his eyes across the audience, finally landing on the podium.

"Isabella Santos, leader of the Amazon android resistance."

"President of the United States of East African Mechanical Lifeforms, Abdul Hassan."

……

The notifications continued, and each name represented a force and a position.

until--

"Peter the Great of Bear Country."

"Hemant Hutt, Prime Minister of South Asia."

The words fell,

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

The whispers disappeared.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures that had just appeared.

Peter the Great was tall and sturdy, with a body made of metal that gleamed with a cold luster.

He had a stern face and sharp eyes, and his every move exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

"The guy from Bear Country doesn't seem very happy..."

"Nonsense, I heard they suffered a great loss before."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

the other side,

Hemant Hutt is thin and has a sinister face.

He stared at the direction of the podium, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.

"Nat...my brother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

Hemant Hutt clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

(Don't ask why a machine lifeform has a brother.)

With everyone present, the atmosphere in the venue became somewhat solemn.

At this time, two figures appeared on the podium.

Ye Feng, dressed in a black suit, and N2, dressed in a red dress, stood side by side.

Suddenly, there was warm cheers from the audience.

"General Ye Feng!"

"N2-sama!"

……

Amid cheers, Ye Feng and N2 took their seats.

Ye Feng raised his eyelids and noticed the gazes from Peter the Great and others.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful smile.

quickly,

The voice of 041 was heard from the loudspeaker in the conference hall.

"Dear guests, dear friends, welcome to Tokyo to participate in this Global Mechanical Life Conference."

041's voice is steady and powerful.

"The war is over, the dawn of peace has arrived, and we should work together to create a better future."

“This conference will determine the future of our mechanical life. We shoulder a great responsibility and mission.”

“There are three main topics for the conference.”

"First, the 'Mountain Moving Plan', build a planetary engine to restore the Earth's rotation. At the same time, build an aerospace ark to protect us."

"Second, the direction of evolution of mechanical life."

"Third, and what everyone is most concerned about, is the issue of territorial division."

With the end of 041's speech, the meeting officially began.

The first item was passed smoothly with almost no objection.

The second item was given by Adam and 10H respectively.

They elaborated on their plan to transfer the consciousness of evolved mechanical life into human bodies.

Adam stood on the stage, presenting a series of research results.

In holographic projection,

Lifelike human bodies appeared before everyone.

"These are all human bodies that we have cultivated using the latest technology."

There was a hint of pride in Adam's voice.

"They have perfect genes, powerful functions, and..."

He paused, looking around the room.

“The possibilities are endless.”

Just as Adam was introducing himself nonstop, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"We, the SHI organization, have doubts about this plan."

An artificial man in strange clothes stood up.

Behind him, there was a group of guys dressed in the same strange way.

"Why a human body?"

“Why should the yellow race be the main race?”

"Moreover, the faces of these human test subjects are too ugly and totally inconsistent with the philosophy of our organization."

This artificial human spoke in a sharp tone and had an arrogant attitude.

10H frowned and was about to open her mouth to retort, but was stopped by Adam.

Adam walked to the front of the stage with a playful professional smirk on his face.

"My friend, please come to the stage and tell us your views in detail."

The android was not polite and strode onto the stage.

He waved his hand, and a series of design drawings appeared on the large screen behind him.

"These are the plans that our SHI organization has carefully designed, revised and finally finalized."

He pointed at the design drawings and introduced them proudly.

"We believe that future life forms should not be confined to human form, but should be more diverse and personalized."

"For example, this one, we call it 'Cat Girl', she has cat ears and a tail, she is cute and charming."

"And this one, 'Werewolf,' he has the strength and agility of a wolf, wild and sexy."

"And this, the 'Tentacle Monster', he has countless tentacles that can satisfy various needs..."

……

Looking at those strange designs on the big screen,

Cat-faced muscular woman, zzzq skin color,

And so on.

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth kept twitching.

He felt that his SAN value was dropping rapidly.

Those humans... or rather, 'living beings'.

"What the hell is this..."

Ye Feng cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at 041, his eyes full of blame.

"What to do!"

041 looked embarrassed.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say.

Ye Feng ignored 041. He turned his head away and began to dry heave secretly.

041 Looking at Ye Feng’s reaction, he became even more anxious.

He turned to look at Donald, who was leisurely standing aside, with sharp eyes.

"Weren't they all killed? Where did these people come from?!"

Donald's body stiffened, and his relaxed expression disappeared in an instant.

He shrank his neck, not daring to look at 041.

At this time,

In the audience, some mechanical life forms have already questioned the design of the SHI organization.

"What is all this nonsense?"

“It’s a blasphemy against life!”

"It's so disgusting, I can't bear to watch it!"

……

The voices of doubt became more and more numerous and louder and finally converged into a chorus of curses.
