NieR: Whirlpool

Is the soul a collection of things, or is it eternal?

There is an old saying:

Everyone's soul is actually made up of various souls.

At last,

Appearing as a "complete" person.

……

"Popolla, Divara!"

Neil looked at the twins who walked in, a little surprised.

Ye Feng asked everyone to sit down.

"The inevitable end of this world is there for all to see."

"But, eight thousand years later, we will resurrect humanity, but something is missing."

As he said this, he looked at the trembling Black Book.

"I need all the information on the Gestalt Project."

"Uh... I have them all here..."

The Black Book very obediently packed up the information and handed it to Ye Feng.

"Thank you!"

"No...you're welcome..." Black Book returned to his position and continued to play the role of an unknown person.

"Sir..." Bobo La hesitated to speak.

Divara took over the conversation.

"Since... you can accomplish such great things in the future world, then... our world..."

Ye Feng waved his hand, indicating that he understood the twin sisters' thoughts.

He raised his wrist, and the golden light from the phantom light became somewhat dim.

"I don't have enough energy to do this. And..."

As he spoke, he spread out a timeline formed by data particles.

There are some branches on it.

"Even if I change this matter, the future will not change. Everything here will develop according to another timeline..."

"If two different timelines collide, no one knows what will happen in the future."

"So, I saved you while trying not to interfere with this timeline as much as possible."

"As for the others..."

As he said this, Ye Feng looked at 10H who had just calmed Yuna down.

10H understood and began to follow the speech he had discussed with Ye Feng before.

"After my testing, I found that after these people in the real world died, their souls did not disappear, but turned into a special kind of existence - Qi."

"As the old saying goes: When the qi of heaven and earth come together, all things come into being, and this is called man."

"So, those who die now will be resurrected in the future. But, they will be in a different identity."

Upon hearing this, Divara nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that the time was right, Ye Feng clapped his hands and stood up.

"Well, for the sake of the future, everyone, please continue to follow the development of the situation as it should be and fulfill your roles."

"By the way, does anyone have any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Suddenly Divara seemed to have thought of something and was about to say it.

But I saw Popola shaking her head at me.

So I didn't ask any more questions.

The twin sisters said goodbye to Ye Feng and the other two.

On the way back to the village,

Divala asked, "Since they can be resurrected, why did Mr. Ye Feng plan to save Neil, Yuna, and us?"

Popola sighed, "Did you understand what Miss 10H meant?"

Divara was confused, "What do you mean?"

Bobo La tapped her best sister's head gently, "From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes..."

Divara seemed to be lost in thought, murmuring Popola's words.

suddenly,

She seemed to understand something and screamed, "That means death..."

"Shh..." Bobo La put her index finger in front of her lips.

"Don't say...don't say..."

Demon King's Castle,

living room.

"In the next five years, you can spend as much time with your sister as you want."

"In five years, Neil will come to you."

Listening to Ye Feng's words, Demon King Neil felt a little flustered.

"Then... my life won't be in danger..."

"The world is so beautiful, I don't want to die yet..."

Ye Feng smiled and patted Neil on the shoulder.

Tell him to relax.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action!"

Neil nodded.

He was refreshed and bowed deeply to Ye Feng and 10H with great respect.

"thank you all!"

Ye Feng: "It's nothing. After all, I got the detailed information of the Gestalt Project from you..."

"No!" Neil interrupted Ye Feng.

"With your ability, it would be easy for you to obtain this information. In your eyes, we are like ants, even destined to die..."

"So... Sir, Miss... Thank you..."

Farewell to Neil and Yuna,

Ye Feng and 10H returned to the void.

Continue to survey this world,

"Why did you lie to them? Your energy is clearly..."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "No matter how much we do in another timeline, it won't affect the future. But what we do is what truly changes the future."

10H nodded thoughtfully.

The two looked down at the ground again.

Watch Neil and Emil grow.

Emile's estate.

Blood flowed from the corner of Neil's mouth and dripped onto Emile's arm.

Emile supported Neil and moved forward step by step with difficulty.

The two walked through the long corridor.

The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, mixed with a hint of decay.

"Neil...are you okay?" Emile's voice was trembling. He was very worried about Neil's injuries.

Neil clenched his teeth and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

With every step I took, the pain in my chest surged like a tide.

The sunlight shines through the huge French windows onto the living room floor.

Warm and bright.

But this warmth could not dispel the haze in their hearts.

The identity of the devil, the origin of the black and white book,

Like two huge mountains, pressing on their hearts.

Time flies by,

Five years later……

The White Book floats in the air.

The pages of the book rustled without wind.

It looked at the grown-up Neil and the still young Emile and was silent for a moment.

[There are some things that you are better off not knowing...] White Book muttered to himself,

Then he looked at the two of them, his voice low and with a hint of helplessness.

"The truth of this world is too cruel..."

"You...are just..."

It seemed to be hesitant to speak, and ultimately did not utter those few words.

"But what is it?" Emile asked.

The White Book was silent.

[She is still just a child...]

After a long time,

It slowly opened its mouth and told a story from the dusty past.

That was a story about "experimental weapons".

A story about humans creating powerful weapons to fight a certain threat.

The story is long and sad.

Neil and Emile listened quietly, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.

They vaguely felt that

This story is inextricably linked to themselves.

"We need to find more clues..."

Neil broke the silence, he didn't want to dwell on the sadness of the past.

"Experimental weapon..." Emile muttered to himself, as if he remembered something.

"Oh, Neil!" Emil suddenly raised his head.

"There is a secret place...under the manor..."

"If my guess is correct, that place... is the national research institute that Xiaobai mentioned..."

Neil's eyes lit up, "Let's go check it out!"

Without any hesitation, the two of them immediately headed for the basement of the manor.
