NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 243: Space in the Sword

"Damn it, which bastard deleted the detailed data of Unit 9 in the bunker? This Unit 9M is just an empty shell."

"With the help of data, the execution mission will be much easier."

In the dim room with flickering white lights, there was a man's angry roar, sounding extremely regretful.

"Damn it! This guy actually left a backup plan. These precious database data of human beings... are all my fault!!!"

The man's strong and unwilling voice was heard again.

At the same time, another man's voice sounded in the room.

"Idiot! You think... you can kill me!"

007 in white was startled, "It's you who did this!"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, a red data particle flew out from the shadow of the girl in white.

Slowly it changes into the shape of N2.

She stood in front of 007 with a look of disdain on her face.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" 007 was extremely angry.

N2 sneered, "We are now one body, you... can't kill me!"

"Damn it! How did you do that!?"

"Hehe, ignorant Human Lunar Conference 007. You should worry about your highly anticipated android subordinates!"

"What do you mean? What did you do to them!?"

"No!" N2 shook his head. "It should be... what they did! Prime is... Tsk tsk... There is an old saying in Dragon Country, Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone. It's a pity... 007, you don't know anything... Hehehe..."

…………

White Tower.

Seeing that the HO fighter's energy bar had recovered a little, 9M decided to go to the White Tower to take a look first.

Beep... insufficient energy...

He quickly merged with the HO fighter, and blue flames spurted out of the tail of the fighter as it slowly rose into the air.

He looked around vigilantly, and suddenly, a silver light flashed and dazzled his eyes.

He looked up and saw a long sword embedded in the wall.

The sword left a hole hundreds of meters long in the white wall.

He nimbly maneuvered the fighter plane to fly over, stretched out the mechanical arm of the HO fighter plane, grabbed the long sword in his hand and took a look at it.

A single-edged sword that is entirely silver-white, somewhat similar to the samurai's katana.

at this time,

The energy bar on the HO fighter's operating interface kept flashing red, leaving him no time to think too much.

There was a very low platform ahead, and he quickly maneuvered the fighter plane toward the platform, preparing to land, while the energy of the HO fighter plane was about to return to zero.

He jumped down from the fighter plane, took the white sword from HO's hand, and observed it carefully.

It looked lighter and sharper than his own YoRHa standard steel sword.

After some searching, he discovered that the sword's storage block seemed to contain sealed memories.

Without time to analyze too much, he gently placed his hand on the sword.

Hacking!

The long sword seemed to sense that an outsider had come in, and realized that the person had bad intentions.

A certain program was executed the moment it was hacked.

What meets the eye is a vast white world.

The digitized 9M noticed something was wrong with the sword, but didn't care.

He followed the avenue formed by the data signals and came to the memory unit.

Standing before him was the digitized entity of the memory unit—the bookshelf.

He placed his hand on a bookshelf in front of him and effortlessly read the memory.

Unfortunately, some of the memory fragments were encrypted, and the sound and images became blurred.

The scene he could see was a YoRHa woman being stabbed through the chest by another YoRHa woman, and she was lying in a pool of blood.

Well……

Is this the scene that the owner of the sword once saw?

9M found it very strange that as an artificial human, he felt that he could feel the pain of the sword's owner.

After all, as an artificial human, I am an emotionless killer.

He walked towards a nearby bookshelf with an expressionless face and reached out to read the next memory.

He put himself in the sword master's perspective and witnessed the destruction of a mechanical lifeform's headquarters from a first-person perspective.

[Hehe, I actually think that what he did was right. These damn mechanical life forms have occupied the Earth on which we depend for survival. It is really abominable.]

He walked towards the third bookshelf with an expressionless face and checked his memory...

Another scene, he felt strange about his behavior of constantly reading memories,

He was also puzzled as to why the sword master and that woman were protecting so many mechanical life forms.

…………

After a long time, he checked all the memories that had not been encrypted.

But not many useful clues were found.

Only some women were captured.

The person's appearance is consistent with the person to be executed that was entered into his chip.

[Who will be the sword master? ]

He glanced at the sealed memories nearby.

His CPU was running at high speed, analyzing current events.

quickly,

He came to a conclusion: a password was needed.

After analysis, the longest password is 13 characters.

Moreover, forced cracking will lead to firewall attacks.

The number of cracking attempts reached an astonishing 23 times.

Using its single-core 10GHz main frequency to fully compute, the cracking time reached 126 million years.

At the same time, the probability of him successfully resisting the firewall attack is 0.

【Give up the cracking! 】

He came to this conclusion.

Suddenly, a sense of inexplicable curiosity emerged.

He somehow placed his hand on the encrypted memory and chose to decrypt it.

In a flash,

A large amount of data streams converge in space, wriggle and take shape.

This is an active defense that is activated when the firewall detects a brute force attack.

Plasma weapons gradually gathered in his hands, ready to deal with the monster transformed from the firewall in front of him.

But the scene before him caused his logical analysis to temporarily stall.

Looking at the large number of mechanized troops gradually forming in front of him, he tried to aim the digitized laser transmitter at an armored vehicle.

And shoots out a digitized high-energy laser.

Successful hit!

The armored vehicle in black mist dissipated and turned into tiny stars.

But soon, new armored vehicles appeared.

In a flash,

An army of enemies opened fire on him.

Bullets, artillery shells, rockets, small missiles, these meteors formed by data, came crashing down on him.

He moved his body and dodged many incoming missiles with his precise calculations.

At the same time, he pulled the trigger of the laser cannon and fired at the nearest enemy again.

Of course, the weapons attacking him have AOE damage.

Gradually, he felt slight damage to his body.

But still didn't give up.

As he dodged and evaded, he destroyed one mechanized tank after another, but new enemies kept arriving.

suddenly,

The enemy in front of him no longer attacked him.

He looked into the distance and saw logs being slowly erected on a large military truck.

He took a closer look, captured the key image, and input it into the CPU in an instant.

The CPU quickly concluded that

[This thing will cause serious damage to yourself. ]

He looked at the 0.00% cracking progress displayed on the panel and had to give up the cracking operation and prepare to exit the data space of this sword.

[About to exit data space, Loading...]

[The hacking connection is being disconnected...]

The tail of the 'log' in the distance was emitting orange flames, and it was making turns in the sky, gradually aiming at the position of 9M.

As if sensing the intruder's intention to escape, the next moment,

Large amounts of data turned into high walls, blocking his retreat.

Floating in the air, 9M analyzed the situation in front of him, executed the operation again, and easily cracked the data barrier in front of him.

suddenly,

A golden light flashed in the space, and six barriers appeared in the six directions of him.

At the same time, it continued to push towards him, slowly forming a cage,

It seemed as if he was being suppressed.

Looking at the shrinking space, he began to calculate.

Finally came to the conclusion,

[It takes 50% of the energy to break this square cage with overwhelming algorithmic advantage. ]

The missile was getting closer, but the 9M, which had no human emotions, did not panic at all.

Break out of the cage!

As a large amount of data streams gathered into a long sword, rushing towards the wall.

In an instant, the golden barrier was broken, leaving a hole large enough for the digitized self to pass through.

He moved, quickly passed through the gap, and quickly flew towards the gap that was opened when he hacked into the space.

behind,

A bright light illuminated the whole world,

A digital mushroom cloud rises in space.
