NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 262 The 51st Incident

Feeling the glare of light hitting your eyelids,

嘤~

10H turned over and buried his head in the soft pillow.

【Suggestion: Get up.】

"No."

【Warning: Get up. 】

"Well……"

The pillow was pulled away by a huge force, and 10H's body tilted due to the friction.

Forced to start.

She let out a unique female groaning sound from her throat, slowly straightened up, and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

I heard the sound of folding sheets behind me.

Assist 006 folded the sheets neatly with its mechanical arms, placed them in the corner at the head of the bed, and put the pillow on top.

"I won't sleep anymore..."

[Report: Making your bed can help you feel mentally balanced.]

She stared blankly at the room, the white walls, the white ceiling, the white floor, the white sheets, the white quilt, and the white pillows.

It's white everywhere.

The screen on the wall displayed a line of words: [Water temperature and water pressure are normal. ]

【Report: Eat. 】

The auxiliary machine pushed over a white dining cart with a white plate and a white cup on it.

【Recommendation: Serve while hot. 】

She skillfully picked up the toast on the plate and took a look at it.

Same burnt brown color as yesterday.

pat~

The toast fell to the ground.

"Is there something wrong with your finger again?"

She raised her left hand and looked at her index finger.

Traces of restoration can be vaguely seen.

"There's nothing I can do. No matter how I try to fix it, it won't work."

While she was checking her fingers, the auxiliary machine quickly picked up the toast that had fallen on the ground and put it on a white plate.

"This... do you still want me to eat it?"

She pointed to the small amount of dust on the bread, feeling very rejected.

[Answer: If it falls to the ground for no more than three seconds, it is edible.]

"Uh... well."

She tried to pick up the bread on the plate, but was stopped by the auxiliary machine.

"what?"

【Suggestion: Use your right hand.】

Her little thoughts were seen through, she smiled awkwardly and stretched out her right hand towards the plate.

I put the bread into my mouth and took a light bite. My tongue felt dry.

It is very inconvenient for her to do things with only one hand.

She endured the dry taste in her mouth and swallowed the toast.

She gently rubbed the bread crumbs off her fingers, picked up the cup, and poured the white liquid into her mouth.

……

[Report: Current time is 8:00, patrol time has expired. ]

In the pure white corridor, the sound of heels stepping on the ground could be heard from afar.

10 and Pod 006 are walking in the corridor.

Stop in front of a door with Server Number 24 written on it.

10H gently pushed open the white door and walked in.

There are 15 auxiliary machines 006 busy working in the room.

She walked slowly to the server and clicked the touch control panel with her right hand.

[Suggestion: No problems were found with the auxiliary machine, so quickly go to the next machine room.]

"Give me a moment."

She seemed to have discovered something interesting, and couldn't help but laugh: "Levania and Fio are really getting more and more interesting..."

【Advice: Leave. This is not your job.】

Her whisper was interrupted by Assist 006.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

She waved to the side, but the auxiliary machine suddenly moved away.

She was concentrating on the operation and did not notice 006's strange behavior.

……

The boring maintenance work continues.

10H climbed up the stairs and saw the words "on the air" lit up. This was the broadcasting room.

Broadcasts from human conferences will be forwarded through here.

"Today is not broadcast day yet!"

She said lazily, dragging her heavy feet and slowly walking towards the white door of the broadcasting room.

I heard two men arguing fiercely.

She stopped at the door, trying to hear the sounds coming from inside.

"Idiot!!! Hopeless!"

"Damn mechanical lifeform..."

Rumble~~~

The quarreling stopped abruptly, and what came was endless roars, accompanied by violent and continuous explosions.

10H, who was eavesdropping behind the door, was hit by the aftermath of the explosion.

He was thrown hard against the wall of the corridor.

It hurts~

The entire skeleton seemed to be shattered and the soul was thrown out of the body.

She shook her dizzy head and struggled to get up from the ground.

There were some snowflakes in the field of vision, which should be due to damage to the visual system.

The bright red auxiliary machine 006 floated over.

【Suggestion: Leave.】

"Where to go?"

There were continuous explosions nearby, and all I could see was a burst of fire.

【Suggestion: Follow me. 】

She took off her shoes that seemed to weigh tens of millions of pounds, endured the severe pain in her body, and followed 006's footsteps.

The corridor was filled with thick smoke, and she and Assist 006 searched forward.

“What… is going on?”

【Report: Cause unknown.】

Boom~

With a loud bang, a door in front of the corridor was blown open, and a ball of fire burst out from the room.

Along with them came several auxiliary machines 006.

They lay in a mess on the ground, with fragments scattered all over the ground and sparks hissing.

The 006 she was following also disappeared.

No matter what, we have to leave the computer room quickly.

She moved her feet, wondering which area was free of these explosive objects.

I don't know how far I walked and how many wreckages of auxiliary machine 006 I saw.

Finally, a familiar face appeared in front of her.

【Suggestion: Stay where you are.】

Auxiliary machine 006 appeared in front of her, blocking her way forward, and at the same time revealed the muzzle of a gun.

bang bang bang~~~

A burst of plasma spurted out, and the 006 in front of him was beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground.

not good!

She threw herself back, crouching behind a white pillar to avoid the oncoming impact,

The auxiliary machine exploded.

【Suggestion: Go to the hatch room.】

Another auxiliary machine 006 appeared, giving different suggestions and clearing the way for her.

The auxiliary machines she met on the way were shot up one by one. Of course, a small number of auxiliary machines 006 also joined her team.

There was a faint burning sensation in the body.

He must have been shot.

No time to care about the pain of the wound,

She was filled with doubts as to why the auxiliary machines 006, who shared a common self, would kill each other.

Did they cause the explosion?

Are these 006s in front of us enemies or friends?

Whatever, at least they won't shoot me, and those will kill me.

Finally, she and several 006s passed through the thick smoke and arrived at the hatch room.

She opened the door to the first area, and the auxiliary machines entered one after another.

【Suggestion: Close the door.】

She quickly closed the door, and was startled by the sound of the auxiliary machine hitting the wall behind the door.

They tried to break in.

【Suggestion: Go to the second area. 】

"it is good!"

Without any time to hesitate, she and the remaining auxiliary machines rushed to the gate leading to the second area and performed the same operation.

My heart was hanging in the air before I could relax. There was another knock on the door.

The gate to the first zone was breached!

She kept backing away, trying to get away from the crumbling door.

There was an obstruction behind me.

There is no way to retreat.

Am I going to die here today?

【Suggestion: Escape.】

Where to escape?

She was stunned. Outside the door was a 10,000-meter-deep ocean. Going out would be the same as staying here, she would surely die.

Either get burned to death by plasma or get crushed by water.

Looking at the heavy door, she made up her mind and prepared to turn the round handle on the door.

Suddenly, an auxiliary machine 006 rushed over, came to the front of the door, stretched out a small mechanical arm, shot out heat rays, and destroyed something on the door.

There was a hissing sound coming from the gap in the door that was burned.

She didn't understand what 006 was doing.

An auxiliary machine 006 stuffed a chip into her.

She didn't have time to think too much.

at last,

The working 006 no longer spews hot wire.

【Suggestion: Escape.】

Before he could even think about the purpose of this, he heard the sound of a door breaking behind him.

She quickly turned the round handle and pressed the button.

Be prepared for extremely high water pressure.

As soon as the door opened a crack, she instantly felt a huge force pushing her from behind, pushing her hard against the slowly opening crack of the door.

Assisted Machine 006 was also resisting some force, extending its slender mechanical arms and gripping the ground tightly.

She was thrown out through the open door.

[Survive...]

She heard the sound of the auxiliary machine.

She was in mid-air and could clearly see that the outside world was dark.

The enemy that was about to fall was an endless expanse of gray sand.

This was the last thing she saw before she lost consciousness.

The door behind her slowly closed, and her consciousness gradually fell into sleep.
