NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 276 Scarecrow

"The building there has the same layout as here. We call it - the cage."

Feiou responded in a baby voice:

"The cage was invaded by monsters that were transformed from black mist. There were scarecrow statues everywhere in the cage, just like that one."

Feiou pointed to a white scarecrow statue not far away and continued:

"The monsters will tamper with the memories stored in the statue. Our daily work is to enter the stored memories, destroy the monsters inside, and restore the memories to their original state.

It is worth noting that in the memory, the monsters will transform into human forms, and we can see the black air emanating from them, and we just need to destroy them.

Of course, in return, I can summon the original owner of the memory to assist me in the battle.

It's just that this cage didn't respond to my call, and I can't summon it out."

Feio became unhappy, pouting, with a look of disappointment on her face.

Hearing this, Ye Feng patted the girl's head and comforted her: "Don't worry, there will be a way."

"Um……"

Two sword energies shot out, and two werewolves 10 meters away exploded.

"Brother, they tried to invade this scarecrow, but failed."

Feio skipped over to the scarecrow statue and explained to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng carefully looked at the statue in front of him, which Feiou called a scarecrow.

It is all white, with its upper body holding swords in both hands, and its lower body is a pillar.

Well, it really looks like a scarecrow.

He slowly approached the scarecrow and stretched out his left hand.

A golden light emanated from the palm of his hand, establishing a connection with the scarecrow's memory.

With a thought, he came to the scarecrow's memory.

He is now immersed in the situation.

This is a primeval forest. Not far away are rolling green hills, and smoke is rising from the village at the foot of the mountain.

In the distance, there was a pair of young sisters. The younger sister took the bow from her elder sister and ran happily into the forest.

The elder sister looked at her younger sister lovingly and followed slowly.

"Whose memory is this?" Ye Feng asked himself.

"The memory of that sister." A childish voice came from the side. Ye Feng turned around and saw.

"Feo, you're coming in too?"

Feiou's eyes were filled with sadness, and she said slowly: "The damn empire captured them and transformed them into mechanical weapons.

The elder sister fought her way out of the cell and found her younger sister. When the two sisters recognized each other, the imperial soldiers ambushed and killed the younger sister..."

She didn't say anything else, her face full of sadness.

Hearing Feo's simple description, it must have been a tragic story.

Ye Feng's heart was moved, and his mind moved.

Memory accelerates, and the world moves as fast as the stars.

Fire, smoke, body parts, miserable cries, and roars of unwillingness...

Hey……

finally,

The younger sister, who had been transformed into a mechanical weapon, lay in her older sister's arms, seemingly asleep.

The fire burned fiercely, illuminating the entire castle red.

Ye Feng felt very upset.

Is this the end for the two sisters?

Is this really a memory? Why is it so real!

"Feiou..."

Hearing Ye Feng's call, the girl, who was also immersed in pain, slowly raised her head, her eyes already red.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

"Can we... try to save them?" Ye Feng had some ideas in his mind.

"Save them...it's just a memory...wait..."

Ye Feng continued:

“Memory exists in the past.

Now they are standing in front of us alive...

Anyway, the past is the past.

What we have now are digitized memories.

We can... do something.”

"Big brother……"

There was a gleam in Fei's eyes, and she said happily: "I understand!"

She waved her hand, time went back, and the world suddenly changed.

The timeline went back to the past.

War broke out between the two countries.

Enemy soldiers are heading for the small town at the foot of the mountain.

They were well-equipped and ready to raze this place that did not belong to them and kill the villagers inside.

Smoke had already risen from the mountain. The two sisters on the hillside discovered something unusual and prepared to rush back to the village.

At this time,

A man dressed very strangely, leading a girl in white, stood in front of them.

"who?"

The elder sister became alert, protected her younger sister behind her, and questioned in a stern voice.

"Don't go back to the village, take your sister and leave quickly."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked towards the village with the girl.

"elder sister……"

The younger sister carefully tugged at her sister's clothes: "They... don't look like bad people."

The elder sister looked solemnly at the direction where the two people left, and pulled her younger sister towards the town.

In the sky above the town, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke rose.

"Feio, can't we go back a little further in time?"

Ye Feng asked doubtfully.

"No, we can only go this far." Feiou sighed.

Ye Feng tried to go back in time again, but failed.

It seems that these memory data themselves have a protection mechanism and are not allowed to be tampered with in large quantities, otherwise they are prone to collapse.

The two of them are no longer high-handed bystanders, but are now surrounded by memory data, with their abilities suppressed.

To be honest,

Ye Feng's behavior is very similar to that of the black monster.

The difference is, he is here to save people.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng quickly came to a conclusion.

If you can choose your time freely, then so can monsters.

This is tantamount to a dimensionality reduction attack for the original owner of the memory.

After figuring out the problem, Ye Feng stopped worrying about it and quickened his pace.

……

In the center of the town, on the square, the fountain is illuminated in red.

It looked like blood spurting out.

Most of the villagers were taken to the square and squatted with their heads in their hands. Occasionally, a few gunshots were heard in the town.

Some villagers were already bleeding.

The body gradually loses temperature.

At the officer's command, several ferocious-looking soldiers rushed into the crowd and led out a row of villagers.

The villagers who were brought out fell to the ground with all five limbs.

The officer stood in front of the platoon, drew his pistol, and pointed it downward.

Aim at the villagers' heads and shoot as you walk.

The trigger was pulled again and again, and the heads of the villagers lying on the ground exploded one by one.

The villagers at the back of the line realized what was happening, but could do nothing.

I could only hold my head tightly and tremble.

Soon, the first row of villagers were slaughtered.

The officer nodded in satisfaction and replaced the magazine.

Several soldiers rushed towards the crowd squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands again and led out the second row of villagers.

"Don't touch my brother, or you'll kill me!"

An older boy held on to an 8-year-old boy tightly, preventing the soldiers from taking him away.

Another soldier raised the butt of his rifle high and hit him hard in the face.

The boy, who was hit hard in the face, fell to the ground, his teeth were broken and a trace of blood came out of his mouth.

His right hand still grasped the corner of his brother's clothes, preventing him from being taken away.

The soldier felt that it was not enough, so he lowered the muzzle of his gun and turned his bayonet towards the boy lying on the ground.

Aiming at his chest,

He laughed strangely, and his face looked very ferocious.

Like a devil's soldier, he is about to stab.

suddenly,

A golden sword energy shot out and cut the soldier's arm.
