NieR: Whirlpool

My name is Neil, and I'm a 21st century human.

But I am the real Neil.

The guy you saw earlier was just my artificial life form...

Background?

Oh, that's ridiculous.

In the 21st century, humans suffered from white salt disease because of something called "magic element".

The skin ulcers are like psoriasis, and the mortality rate is 100%.

What's even more fucked up is that this thing can be spread through the air and body fluids.

Not only that, some people will turn into monsters.

Those guys who have shit in their heads, for the so-called "big picture",

They actually used a nuclear bomb to blow up Shinjuku, where patients with white salt disease were imprisoned.

This is just great,

The magic element has spread across the entire globe, and humanity is on the verge of destruction.

In order to survive, humans came up with a bunch of messed up plans.

Of course, these have nothing to do with us ordinary people.

What really matters is the "Gestalt Project" of 2032.

The plan sounds good, but there are a lot of problems...

I'm just going to say one key question.

When will the soul be stuffed back? Who will do it?

By then, all humans would have died out.

In order to solve this problem, Xiao Rizi came up with another crazy plan.

They found 13 young boys and girls from the "Crusaders" and made them kill each other.

At the same time, each person was given a book without a cover.

The person who is killed will be sucked into the book, and a face will appear on the cover of the book.

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

These two books are the White Book and the Black Book.

These two books of immortality work together and, when combined, can stuff all souls back into their artificial life forms.

The third problem is that the soul body is unstable and prone to collapse.

But there is a special individual,

After his soul is extracted, it will not collapse.

It can also stabilize other souls by outputting its own magic.

In order to find such an individual, the gang started to act up again.

They found a large group of poor people and gave them a cloned and simplified version of the Black Book for free.

That's how my sister Yuna and I were tricked into coming here.

We, along with a group of people, were thrown into the wall where the white salt monster was previously imprisoned.

Some people couldn't bear the torture of white salt disease, came into contact with the Black Book, and had their souls extracted.

As expected, those whose souls were extracted collapsed one after another.

Horse riding!

I can't defeat thousands of monsters by myself.

I could only open the book, and he sucked my soul out of me.

result,

I,

It is that rare, peaceful soul.

Finally, I was able to use magic with the power of the book and defeat the corrupted human souls that were besieging us.

But Yuna's condition worsened.

I was so anxious that I had to ask her to open the book as well.

Unlike me,

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

God!

why! ! !

At this time, the Hamel Agency, which had been monitoring us, sent someone to find me.

"You provide stable magic for the souls of all of us humans. We will freeze your sister's soul for free so that it won't collapse for the time being. After more than 1000 years, the magic disappears. Wouldn't it be wonderful to implant your sister's soul into an artificial life form?"

When I heard this, I thought it was a good deal.

I agreed.

So that's it,

More than a thousand years later,

The magic element on Earth is gone, and the white salt disease has also disappeared.

Neil is an artificial life form copied from my information.

He gave birth to consciousness.

He has a younger sister - Yuna (artificial life form).

This Yuna suffers from a disease similar to that of my sister.

Because of the soul's problems, it will be projected into the artificial life form.

Divara and Popola, the two robots responsible for managing artificial life forms,

Instead of killing Neil, he asked him to find the White Book.

Complete the final step of your Gestalt project.

And now,

The plan has reached the final step.

It's time for me to come on stage.

……

Under the library, in front of the shelter.

The battle continues.

The four of them joined forces and engaged in a fierce battle with the "monster".

Finally, they planned to seal the monster away.

"Puch!"

A black spike suddenly emerged from a pool of blood on the ground.

It went through Neil's body.

Blood spurts.

"Neal!"

Kayne exclaimed.

"Neal!"

The pages of the White Book flipped madly.

Emile's eyes widened, and his face, covered with a white cloth, was blank.

"Cough...cough..."

Neil covered his chest and knelt on one knee, blood gushing out from between his fingers.

"Damn..."

He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but felt weak.

at this time,

A pool of black liquid slowly flowed out from the monster's body.

The liquid squirmed, condensed, and gradually formed a vague human figure.

The human figure became clearer and clearer.

finally,

The figure of a man with black and red runes wrapped around his body appeared in front of everyone.

He is me.

"You...you are..."

Neil struggled to raise his head and looked at the man in front of him who looked exactly like him.

"who am I?"

I sneered,

but,

At this moment, I am in a spiritual state and cannot make normal sounds.

The voice sounded hoarse and low.

have to say,

Although we cannot communicate normally,

but,

Forced to be full.

"I'm Neil."

"The real Neil."

Even if I told them, they wouldn't understand.

Behind me, a black book slowly emerged—the Black Book.

"A black book!?"

White Book exclaimed.

"Long time no see, White Book."

I looked at the White Book with a hint of sarcasm in my tone.

"It's time to complete our mission."

The Black Book opened and a beam of black magic shot out.

Countless black, twisted, rune-like figures flew out of the Black Book.

They surrounded those people and roared.

"Monster!?"

Kenny tightened her grip on the weapon.

"No, these are not monsters."

I corrected.

"They are human souls."

"It's you...the compatriots you've been slaughtering."

They didn't react much to what I said.

Ok,

They are not human anyway.

I don’t blame them for not understanding what they are saying.

"Black Book, give White Book some fitness."

I ordered.

The Black Book shot out a bolt of lightning, which struck the White Book.

The White Book let out a scream and froze in place.

……

spiritual space.

The White Book and the Black Book stand opposite each other.

"White Book, have you forgotten our mission?"

Black Book questioned.

"Our mission is to return souls to bodies and revive humanity."

"I……"

The Book of White is a little confused, like Shi Lezhi.

"The Demon King..."

It took a long, long time.

suddenly,

The lingerie girl who was blocking the door seemed very angry and started to speak in Zaun style:

"You lousy book! Don't say such stupid words at the crucial moment!!"

"If you don't help me, I will throw you into the fireplace and burn you to ashes!"

"You piece of waste paper!"

"You grew that mouth just to mock us, right?!"

"Your head is filled with sermons about us, right?!"

"You actually forgot about your companions and talked about those boring things about the Demon King."

“Are you kidding me?!”

Her words made my head hurt.

however,

As if hearing the machine gun fire of the woman in underwear, White Book muttered to himself:

"I... am... the Demon King's waste paper..."

"Do not……"

"I only know that... Neil and the others are my companions..."

"Companion?" The Black Book sneered.

"They are nothing more than artificial life forms, tools!"

"We are a unified system, all books created to restore the orthodox world."

"No!" shouted the White Book.

"They are my companions!"

"My important companion!"

"I don't want any mission!"

"I just want them!"

"Stubborn!"

The Black Book roared.

……

real world.

"noob!"

Neil yelled.

The White Book is like waking up from a dream.

Under the power of the bond, he decided to abandon his mission.

"I just like the artificial life form Neil, what's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong!"

Grass!

Bai Zhishu became a traitor.

me now,

He looks exactly like a villain.

And they have to rely on love, bonds and so on to exert the power of idealism.

Is there any royal law?

Fuck fuck fuck!

It’s better to rely on myself than on black and white books.

"Meow!"

I snorted coldly.

"Black Book, get to work!"

The Black Book once again summoned countless monsters and pounced on Neil and others.

"hateful!"

Neil struggled to stand up, wielding his greatsword and fighting the monster.

Emil also joined the battle.

And the lingerie girl was still holding the door.

Strange,

They had the chance to lock the door, or at worst, the blindfolded boy could have petrified it.

What a bloody plot.

Human-machine?

Stop, stop, stop.

Why am I thinking about these things!

Back to the plan.

That’s all.

Let the White Book rebel,

I don't care about his bullshit Gestalt plan,

Just save my sister.

but……

We still have to act.

I took a deep breath and tried to show as much murderous intent as possible.

The energy in my body began to surge.

huh~

A black spike,

Shooting out from the energy ball above my head,

Go straight to the White Book.

"noob!"

Neil shouted and rushed forward at an unimaginable speed.

Block the fatal spikes for the White Book,

Then he fell to the ground with a plop.

Seriously injured.

I'm so numb.

The power of bond?

"Am I also a part of your play?"

do not care,

Risking his own life for his companions.

That's it, that's it,

Spare your lives.

Thinking of this,

I picked up the artificial life form Yuna,

Just flew away.

In this way, my sister is alive, hahahaha.
