NieR: Whirlpool

At this time, several mechanical generals came forward and carefully checked the king's condition.

After a careful check, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that the king was fine.

"Thank you for saving our king." They were filled with gratitude and knelt down to thank the three men.

"Please stand up and talk." Ye Feng bent down, gently helped up a leading general, and said gently.

"Thank you benefactor."

The generals stood up, sincerity gleaming in their eyes.

Then they turned around and gave orders, asking the mechanical guards to quickly return to their respective posts and restore normal order in the palace.

"Why is your king so small?" 9S looked at the little man in front of him curiously and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a long story. Please follow me." A general invited with a smile and a respectful tone.

Led by the generals, the three followed them out of the palace, through corridors and rooms, and finally came to a spacious reception room on the side of the palace.

After everyone sat down, two mechanical guards came forward and poured everyone a cup of fragrant hot tea.

During the break, the three of them got information about the past from the Prime Minister's machine, which were simple fragments of memories:

Three hundred years ago, a large mechanical life form named Immanuel Kant was tired of the endless killing. He led a group of mechanical creatures who were also tired of killing to take root here and establish a kingdom.

"We are tired of the endless wars. Today, I decided to build a kingdom here." In the dark and humid valley, a large machine said to the many small mechanical life forms in front of it.

"Big brother, what is a kingdom?" asked a small machine with short legs.

"The kingdom is a family. We are all family members. We support each other, make progress, and protect each other."

"Oh, big brother, I understand."

"From today on, I will be the first king of the kingdom. This forest is full of moisture, which will make us rust and age, but we must overcome these difficulties and not become mindless killing machines."

......

"The king's health is getting worse and worse, and his memory is already confused, oh king!!!"

......

"The king is dead!!"

"I have placed the king's memory chip and some of his data into this baby. When he grows up, he will be our second king."

......

"After more than a hundred years, why doesn't the king still speak?"

……

After playing the relevant information, the three of them fell silent for a while.

"Some vicious mechanical life forms discovered us, and it was Wang who rushed to the front and killed the invading enemies."

"I don't know how many times this has happened. Even though the king is wounded, he still leads the troops."

"Later, due to lack of resources, we accepted the king's gift, knew who we were, gradually formed our own identity, and developed emotions, which is our loyalty to the king."

"The king is so great and kind,

He took off the precious parts of his body and gave them to us, so that we could survive.

He himself had difficulty even starting."

"The king who is missing parts,

First I couldn't walk, then I couldn't speak, and finally, it seemed like even my hearing and vision had disappeared."

"Finally, the king died!"

"We are still alive..."

"The king's wish is to build a peaceful country. We will always inherit his will."

"Now, we have enough parts.

But I can’t save him anymore.”

“Oh my god!!!”

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he was already in tears. His weathered face was covered with tear marks.

He looked like a helpless child and was extremely sad.

A group of old ministers of the kingdom in the hall also burst into tears and cried loudly. For a moment, the whole hall was immersed in grief.

"There are actually such mechanical life forms." 9S sighed.

"Tear down your own parts and give them to your people." 2B also said with some emotion.

"Your king is such a great man!" Ye Feng was also moved and his heart was filled with emotion.

He originally just thought that as someone with a God's perspective, he could simply save the baby king.

But when I was in it, I found that my emotions were still very rich and my heart was easily touched.

Only after hearing the Prime Minister's mechanical story with my own ears did I realize that the story behind it was so touching.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng became more determined, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart:

Since I have the honor to be here,

Then we must do our best to save the Neil world and allow more people to survive.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world!

"Your king is a man worthy of everyone's admiration." Ye Feng said, then turned to look at 2B and 9S with a firm and powerful look.

"Senior, why don't we help them look after the little king?"

"Okay." 9S answered without hesitation. He knew very well that Ye Feng felt the same as he did at the moment.

"system."

"Yes, host."

"The child grew up with a chip that stored the king's memories and data. If he is born with intelligence, is he the same person as before, or a new individual?" Ye Feng asked in the consciousness space.

The system thought for a while and said, "This is considered another person. After all, there is still a difference."

"With the king's memories and information implanted in it, it can be considered the old king's child." The system continued.

"I understand. Thank you, system." Ye Feng left the consciousness space without thinking, and thought to himself,

If so, this may provide a direction for the continuation of mechanical life forms.

"The king has not grown up for so long because he has no replacement parts. But his intelligence is not complete, it is likely that there is something wrong with the central circuit." 9S guessed.

As he spoke, he looked at the generals.

"Well then, Prime Minister, let us examine the King for you."

After hearing 9S's words, all the generals knelt down.

"Thank you for your help, even if it fails, the Forest Kingdom will be grateful for your kindness."

"No need to do that. Please stand up quickly." Ye Feng helped up a group of senior executives.

The group returned to the palace.

After passing through the layers of guards of the Kingdom, he arrived in front of the baby carriage.

Looking at the baby in front of them, 9S and Ye Feng looked at each other.

"Be careful." 2B said softly.

Ye Feng nodded and gave 2B a reassuring look.

Then, they both put their hands on the king's shoulders.

Hacking!

Hacking!

A flash of white light,

The two of them were in a trance for a moment, and then they appeared on the avenue formed by the data link.

Glancing around, Ye Feng asked in confusion:

"Is this the King's data space?"

9S nodded.

“He is still young after all, and it is normal that a large number of blocks are idle.

Let’s go to the key parts.”

"Ok."

The two searched carefully and unexpectedly found that

The king's thought process is very complicated.

"In that case, he must be very intelligent," 9S muttered to himself.

They walked around the core and checked carefully.

But strangely, even with the help of two auxiliary machines, no problem was found.

But the king's complex thought circuits just couldn't work properly.

"Isn't that strange?" 9S was very confused and immediately gave an order.

"Assistive device, continue testing."

"Report: Memory unit is intact, sound, touch, and vision units are intact, the mechanical life core is functioning normally, the thought circuit hardware and software are normal, the CPU system has no abnormalities, and the link transmission is normal."

"Where's the problem?" Ye Feng was immediately confused.

At this moment, Assist 154 issued a warning.

"Report: Foreign electromagnetic wave signals detected..."
