NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 242 M is the enemy!

In the ruins of a high-rise building,

22B was squatting on the ground, holding a long sword, with his back against the wall, sleeping soundly, with drops of saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth and sliding onto the ground.

64B hid behind a low wall, poked his head out to observe the huge white tower, and was also drowsy.

"We've been waiting for so long, no one else will come."

She talked to herself, the scene in front of her eyes gradually blurred, and her eyes were about to close.

There seemed to be the roar of an engine in my ears.

"Hmm...what's that sound?"

22B on the side wiped her saliva and changed to a more comfortable position.

[I was actually dreaming, and I seemed to hear the sound of a HO fighter. 】

[The Qing Dynasty has fallen...]

The shadow in the sky became clearer and clearer.

Looking at the HO fighter planes circling in the sky not far away,

64B was startled instantly and his eyes widened.

[Where did the fighter plane come from? ]

HO's altitude continued to drop, and gradually, she could see the faces of the people in the cockpit.

"He...he...he..."

A beating heart, shaking hands, and immovable feet.

She struggled to get up and a chestnut hit the head of the sleeping girl next to her.

“Ouch…what are you doing!?”

22B, who was forcibly awakened, was in a bad mood and looked at the excited 64B in front of her with an indignant look.

Ignoring 22B's resentment, 64B grabbed her and dragged her to the low wall.

Then he grabbed her hair and moved her to a position for observation.

“What are you doing… Ouch…”

No matter how silly and cute a girl is, once she is forced to turn on her phone, she will be filled with anger.

She took a fierce look at the 64B that was stronger than her.

[I’m scared, I can’t win. 】

Sighing, she turned towards the direction of the white tower with an unwilling look on her face.

Her eyes changed from resentment, to confusion, to surprise, and finally to disbelief.

Rubbing her eyes, she looked away again.

Until the end, she watched the HO fighter plane pass through the big hole in the wall and plunge into the white tower.

The expressions on the two girls' faces froze. They slowly turned their heads and stared at each other blankly.

"Mr. 9M!?"

"I must be dreaming. Let me sleep a little longer."

22B said this in a daze, then closed her eyes and lay in 64B's arms.

"Hey! Wake up, you're not dreaming."

64B grabbed her arms and started to swing.

22B, whose brain and body were vibrating under pressure, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped out.

He ran downstairs, shouting, "Quick, quick, go find him..."

22B's sudden rise startled 64B.

By the time I reacted, the guy had already gone downstairs.

Suddenly, a terrible thing flashed through 64B's mind.

[9M? Could he be coming to...?]

【Also, there's something wrong with his eyes! 】

【not good!!!】

She jumped up instantly and chased forward quickly.

"22B, don't go. Wait for me. It's dangerous..."

downstairs,

22B was full of excitement and ran down quickly, and soon reached the first floor.

I didn't hear 64B's words at all.

In a panic, she bumped into a figure at the corner.

puff~

"Ouch……"

The shadow and 22B were hit head-on, and both of them fell backwards, sprawled on the ground.

"Are you crazy!!!"

11B rubbed his dizzy head and looked at 22B who also fell to the ground in front of him with a resentful look.

"sorry Sorry!"

22B quickly waved her hands and apologized, "I'm just... too happy."

8B, who was following behind, reached out and pulled up 11B who had fallen to the ground, gently patting her to remove the dust.

64B, who was late, finally came down from the stairs. Seeing the two people falling to the ground, he stepped forward and pulled up 22B.

"What's the rush?" 8B asked 22B curiously, who was in a panic. They came to change shifts on time.

"Just now...9M...I saw..."

22B was hesitant as she spoke. When she heard 8B's question and thought about what she had just seen, she became very excited.

"What? Can you speak slower?"

Hearing this familiar name, 8B was stunned for a moment, but still couldn't understand what it meant.

64B patted 22B on the back and gave her a firm look.

22B understood and slowly said, "You all heard the roar of the fighter plane just now, right?"

11B looked at 8B and said, "I heard the sound of an aircraft engine. What happened?"

22B continued: "Guess who I saw on the HO fighter?"

"Don't keep us in suspense, tell us now," 8B urged.

"and many more!"

The clever 11B understood the problem from 22B's words. She guessed what was going on and said in a trembling voice:

"You mean, the one flying the HO fighter just now was 9M?"

"what!?"

When 8B heard 11B's guess, he looked at 22B and 64B in surprise, as if to confirm her statement.

64B nodded firmly and continued, "Then, he flew into the white tower through the big hole that Engels had blown out earlier."

"Captain, we have to go find him." 22B said expectantly.

After hearing the cute girl's suggestion, 8B felt a bad premonition.

She glanced at everyone, and finally her sharp eyes fell on 11B.

Although 11B was also very excited, at least he managed to stay calm.

Noticing 8B's gaze, she met his gaze.

In an instant, the two nodded and came to the same conclusion.

[This may be a trap, don't act rashly! ]

"Captain, there is a problem." 64B came to the same conclusion.

8B and 11B looked at 64B, who was always the most sensitive to danger, with relief: "Tell me what you think."

64B comforted 22B who was confused just now, and slowly analyzed:

“First, the bunker no longer exists. Who built him and who sent him out?

Second, he did not go directly to the resistance camp to ask Miss Annie Morning for confirmation of our whereabouts, which means that they did not want to be discovered by the resistance.

3. He had a clear goal and rushed directly into the White Tower. Who told him this information? And what did he want to do in the White Tower? I think everyone knows it.

Four,……"

"What!?"

64B's excited heart gradually calmed down. After listening to 22B's analysis, she felt a chill in her heart. She opened her mouth and looked at 64B.

"The fourth one is also the most important one." 64B said:

"His expression was numb and he looked very vicious. He didn't look like the man we knew at all."

After 64B finished speaking, the ruins of the first floor hall fell into a brief silence.

a long time,

8B finally spoke up: "It's hard to believe, but based on previous intelligence, he should..."

11B shook her head and continued 8B's words sadly: "...They are here to execute us."

"Ah!?" 22B had not expected this and opened his mouth in shock.

"It's definitely not going away!" 64B nodded and closed 22B's mouth.

22B shook her chin and continued to analyze, "These guys are really abominable. Instead of sending an executioner, they sent a machine of the same model as him."

"Captain, what should we do?" 64B looked at 8B, hoping she could make a decision.

After thinking for a long time, 8B shook his head. There was no other solution. "We need to inform others as soon as possible."

Ding ding,

8B received a piece of information on her personal communicator. She took it out and read: [Be careful! 9M is an enemy!!!]

Looking at the message he received, 8B confirmed everyone's thoughts and sighed, "It's this ID again. I wonder who sent it from."

"In short, it coincides with our analysis." 11B said, "What should we do?"

"He can't find us. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark! We will continue to stay here and make further observations."
