NieR: Whirlpool

Artificial life,

It is about a 15-year-old boy named Neil.

Live in a small town.

It is worth mentioning that there is a pair of twin sisters in the town, named "Divara" and "Popolla".

In order to save his six-and-a-half-year-old sister Yuna who suffers from "black letter disease", Neil has to find a way to make money.

Thus unfolding a series of adventure stories,

On the way, he meets scantily clad "Sister" Kenny, a big brother whose only motivation is to kill monsters.

Because "his" grandmother was killed by a terrifying monster.

And there is a monster named Duran inside her.

Waiting for an opportunity to occupy Kenny's body.

The monster is weak to the sun, so her left arm is wrapped in a white bandage.

Exposing yourself is to allow the sun to protect your body.

A talking magic book——The White Book,

And the boy who turns anyone he glares at into stone—Emile.

The three of them and the book set out on a journey, slaying various monsters they encountered along the way.

In a battle with a large monster, Kenny blocked the monster behind the door.

At this time, the Demon King appeared and kidnapped Yuna.

In order to stop the monster, Emile had to petrify Kenny and block the door.

Five years later,

Emile House,

Halya, Emil's sister, is also the experimental subject No. 6 of the National Weapons Research Institute.

And Emile is number 7.

in battle,

After fusing with his sister, Emile became a skeleton-like creature like his sister.

As a price, he regained his sight and the power of the most powerful magical experimental weapon.

So the petrification can be removed and Kenny can be saved.

The three of them and the book reunited and eventually went to the Devil's Castle, where they defeated the Devil and rescued their sister.

But is this really the case?

The story begins a long time ago...

To make a long story short.

In the 21st century, because he was served by a red dragon,

Humans suffer from white salt disease due to "magic element", which is similar to psoriasis.

The mortality rate is 100%.

Air and body fluid transmission,

Some people even turned into monsters.

With Xiao Rizi's clever decision, Shinjuku, where patients with white salt disease were imprisoned, was blown up with a nuclear bomb.

This allows the particles to spread through the atmosphere and spread around the world.

This is just great,

Humanity is about to perish.

So began a variety of plans.

For example, establishing the "Crusaders" to fight against the Hamel agency that is responsible for the white salt syndrome monster.

Research "fluorescein" to delay white salt syndrome.

The National Weapons Research Institute was established to study magic elements and use magic.

Here comes the key point.

2032 years,

"Gestalt Project",

Extract the soul from the human body, wait until the white salt disease disappears, and then merge the soul into the body.

The soul is called "Gestalt".

The flesh cannot be preserved for a long time, so genes are extracted from human flesh to create identical individuals - artificial life forms.

This is not cloning technology.

It is worth noting that the first generation of artificial life forms will require DNA to be extracted from human flesh.

Production after the second generation requires extracting information from the soul.

Artificial life forms have no consciousness and cannot reproduce.

One day, the Gestalt can be implanted into artificial life forms, and humans can be resurrected.

There are many problems with the plan.

1. Expensive. Not many people in the world can afford it. For the average person like us, forget about it.

2. When will the soul be put back? Who will do it?

So, 13 young boys and girls of the "Crusaders" fought each other, and at the same time were given a book without a cover.

The person who is killed will be sucked into the book, and then a face will appear on the cover of the book. ——11 books that have no consciousness and cannot speak.

The two people who survived in the end were also sucked into the book.

The white book, the black book.

These two immortal books work together and combine.

Just stuff all the souls back into their artificial life bodies.

3. Soul body, unstable. Psychologically very fragile and easily broken.

But there is a kind of quiet individual whose soul will not collapse after being extracted, and can also stabilize other souls by outputting its own magic elements.

So, in order to find such individuals.

Finding a needle in a haystack,

Find a large group of poor people and give them a cloned simplified version of the Black Book for free.

So, Neil (a human) and his sister were tricked into coming here.

I was thrown into the walls of Shinjuku along with everyone else.

As expected, those whose souls were extracted collapsed one by one.

Neil was unable to defeat the enemy and had no choice but to

Still opened the book.

result,

It happened to come.

Neil is this rare, stable soul.

However, Yuna's (human) condition worsens, and she is forced to open the book and have her soul extracted.

Unlike Nier, Yuna's soul began to collapse as soon as it was extracted.

then,

The Hamel Agency made a deal with Neil: "You provide stable magic elements for the souls of all of us humans, and we will freeze your sister's soul for free. It won't collapse for the time being. After more than 1000 years, your sister will be saved."

Neil heard this.

you can!

but,

Do artificial life forms really have no consciousness?

the answer is negative,

More than 700 years later, artificial life forms began to learn to think.

then,

In the artificial life form settlement, there are two types of robot androids - Divara and Popola.

Responsibilities: responsible for the creation and management of artificial life forms, as well as monitoring whether they develop consciousness and whether they are eliminated.

So, more than 1000 years later,

3465 years,

Neil: Artificial Life, the story begins.

True humans have long since become extinct.

The protagonist is Neil (artificial life form).

And Yuna (artificial life form) also suffers from the same white salt disease as human Yuna.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Gestalt Project is going to go wrong.

Divala and Popola couldn't bear to attack Neil who had regained consciousness.

The White Book found by Neil lost his memory.

Facing the reminder from the Black Book, the White Book said it would not do anything.

I just like the artificial life form Neil.

See here,

I believe everyone understands what the real story is.

The monsters along the way are the human souls.

Most of them are collapsed.

There are a few that haven't collapsed.

But none of them could escape Neil's knife.

The demon king who kidnapped Yuna (artificial life form) was the real Neil.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on books!"

So after Demon King Neil kidnapped Yuna,

Yuna's soul was forcibly implanted into Yuna's body, an artificial life form.

Then, the knife came.

Yuna was too kind and couldn't bear it, so she separated from the artificial life form Yuna.

death.

Demon King Neil's heart is broken!

Then, the Demon King Neil was also killed by the artificial life Neil.

Without Demon King Neil, there would be no stable supply of magic elements.

The existing human soul is doomed to collapse.

but……

It has nothing to do with us ordinary people.

What a big face!

Let Neil provide stable magic elements to us.

The human soul is destroyed, so it is naturally impossible to extract information and create the next generation of artificial life forms.

Artificial life cannot reproduce.

After the death of this area,

There will be no more artificial life forms.

In the final battle,

In order to save Kenny, the artificial life Neil exchanged his own existence for her safety.

then,

Neil completely disappeared from everyone's memory...

……Yet?
