As a player, can you be normal?

Space Orbital Satellite Base No. 13.

The commander sat in the empty room and looked at the display of the troops descending on the land of night on the screen in front of him.

On the other side, what came was the contact voice of the Human Parliament on the Moon.

White, don't rush to send troops to the Kingdom of Darkness.

The voice over there was male.

Whether it is the Yorha Force or the fighting androids, most of them are still balanced between men and women at this time. It was not until an incident happened this year (Note 1) that it changed to mainly female androids.

Commander White sat on an electronic chair, crossed his long legs, and clicked on a virtual projection with his slender fingers.

I had to do it, the escapees killed the dragoons.

There is no drop point (settlement) for us in the Kingdom of Darkness.

I have contacted York City. They don't care about Yorha. As long as they don't touch other important people in the city, it doesn't matter.

White, you can't communicate there privately across senior levels.

Don't lie to yourself. White said in a deep voice: Artificial beings don't have high-level officials. You and I both understand that you are just an artificial voice...

The conversation stopped abruptly.

The lunar base is empty, with only one artificial man responsible for maintenance.

Commander, we have arrived over York City.

The communicator rang.

White turned on the communication device.

How about it?

she asked, her expression calm but her eyes filled with anxiety.

The dragoons helped open the way, and they didn't encounter much resistance. They will be able to land smoothly in about... two hours.

I'm asking, how are you doing? White said.

A male android's voice came: Haha, no one in Team E was injured.

Keep in touch at all times. White said: After meeting Unit 2, don't harm the unit, cut off her network, and then bring it back.

Where's the 'person' called 'Li Nuo'?

Find out the identity. It may be the evolution of mechanical life forms. If York City doesn't stop it, just kill him.

Above York City, members of Team E, who were waiting for the emergency landing platform to be set up, watched the sales vehicles running through the city from the air.

Someone smiled and said:

Don't worry, York City probably won't care about this matter.

Beep——

Communication is closed.

White lowered his head and sighed softly.

She opened the database and found the new data body being manufactured recently.

The body data name is abbreviated as A2.

Not yet finished.

White pondered for a long time. What she wondered about was why the data of Unit 2 (Cha Bai) found in Annabelle was exactly the same as A2 (Note 2).

In order to find out the truth, she must bring Unit 2 over.

She wondered if there was information leakage. The guy who called himself Li Nuo had been labeled as an evolved mechanical life form in White's eyes.

…

Under the staggered steel bars in the urban area.

The sales car was running like crazy, and Emil kept shouting: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At the rear, a large number of air combat units gathered.

The bullets hit the side of the car, Li Nuo held his hat and stared at Marjie who had just ran up.

What the hell are you doing?

Hmph...it was all an accident.

Suddenly a missile exploded in the deserted neighborhood, and the beige dust overturned Emil like a huge wave!

The car scraped the ground and hit the wall before stopping. Li Nuo, who had stepped out earlier, reached out to help the car up. He found that Emil had entered a dormant state.

You're such a shameful hidden BOSS...!

Suddenly dozens of flying patrol vehicles crashed through the wall and appeared.

Cultists discovered, crime...

Cha Bai didn't wait for them to finish reciting, spitting out hot smoke and detonating the surroundings!

In the smoke, Marger led the way and pointed in the direction: There is a sewer entrance over there! Come with me!

He explained while taking the lead: We will talk about the problem of cults later. I have discovered many problems in this city these days. You can understand that this place has a lot to do with our native world.

Li Nuo: Native world? Cairo?

Marger nodded and said: What I can confirm now is that there is no such thing as 'York City' in the original storyline of Neil. Does Jacol know that?

Li Nuo turned over and threw the robot hand to the side, knocking down an aerostat: We'll talk about it later!

Boom!

There were android troops beside them firing at them with unknown objects.

The asphalt road exploded into pieces.

Several people used Emil as a shield and passed by the explosion.

Li Nuo, who was on the outermost side, fell over and climbed up to follow him with blood mist at the corner of his mouth.

After crossing an urban stream, Marger kicked open the sewer fence in the middle of the embankment and stepped into the sewer pipe, which was as tall as a person.

When the android troops outside were about to break through, the bespectacled girl jumped down from the sky with a weapon box.

Hey--!

The big box hit the ground and the ground shook. She took out the memory erasing machine and pressed the button on the androids.

Just then Li Nuo turned around and saw Jacquel's figure outside the pipe.

But what he couldn't believe the most was the light spot that erased his memory.

Star Cairo's memory-erasing technology!

Li Nuo clearly remembered the scene in the Cyberpunk script where Cairo Xingjun used this method to destroy his memory, but failed due to magical resistance.

Jacol turned his head and waved at him.

Then the girl with glasses said with a smile: Qian, go find me there!

The words fell.

Yacol turned into granular data and disappeared.

Li Nuo...

Cha Bai called him.

Marger stopped, too, and he saw Jacol.

However, time is not rich.

Although the androids outside dispersed, the shadow of a girl walked into the sewer pipe.

Richard, you killed him, right?

Milan held a stick and curled his lips, followed by a muscular man with three eyes.

Once players from different worlds and different corridors meet, there is no possibility of cooperation because the rewards are too generous.

Li Nuo had tasted the sweetness. He pressed the itching feeling in his heart that he wanted to take advantage of it, and whispered: Can you not beat me?

Milan: Obviously...

The man with three eyes rushed over from behind, his shadow pressing down on Milan.

cannot.

The man had a sharp finger, and when the wind of the fist whizzed past, Cha Bai spit out sparks and exploded on the man.

Zongze, don't be embarrassed.

Milan stepped over the man named Zongze and swung out the long stick with a clang.

Li Nuo took a step forward, knocking his cane and stick together.

Oh, mercury cane?

how?

Nothing, I hate Bloodborne.

Milan's eyes were fierce. The girl transformed into the darkness of the sewer, and the cat's spirit body was born behind her.

Guardian spirit.

The blessing abilities related to Nioh from her native world.

Cats have nine lives, which may be fictitious, but their speed and flexibility are real.

As soon as the long stick collapsed, the air wave shook the sewage out of the water.

The girl's eyes turned into cat eyes.

Come on~ I'll let you take the lead.

She raised her fingers at Li Nuo.

[Inner Potential] was turned on directly, blood mist erupted, Li Nuo bit through the mist, raised his head and gathered together.

After just one encounter with each other, you can tell that this girl is much better than that Richard.

Besieged on all sides, fighting hard is not the answer.

But unless one of them dies, the trouble will not be solved.

Snake pupils and cat eyes face each other.

Li Nuo: I said it for the last time and I will fight again later.

Milan stuck out his tongue: No way.

Before he finished speaking, Milan saw in his eyes the cane turned into a silver beast and rushed towards him.

When the cane and the long stick collided, Zongze on the other side locked Chabai, who hit the ground with a hammer, rolled up sparks, and shook out a wall of fire, and then used a smart posture to circle back and attack the opponent.

Zongze seems to have a strong mind and a very thoughtful mind.

He saw that Cha Bai's attack method was somewhat similar to his native world, so he moved around and prepared to attack Marjie.

Victor stood in front and rushed towards him with a punch, but Zong Ze made a shadow of himself.

At this time, Marger was firing bullets at the iron wall of the sewer.

Players fighting on several sides felt the pipe shake.

Then I heard Marjie laugh in a rather unbeatable tone: Welcome to my world!

…

In the sewers, there are a group of mechanical life forms living.

Compared with the intelligent thinking ability of artificial humans, this group of mechanical life forms are relatively clumsy.

York City has established a complete social network and learned from human social structure. The basic principle of survival of the fittest exists in this so-called utopia.

There is no paradise in this world.

Only the weak and the strong are left by humans.

Once mechanical life forms are excluded, it becomes a daily routine to fall outside the social system.

This box is my residence.

No, that's what I saw. You don't have a real estate license.

Two mechanical life forms are arguing over who lives in a cardboard box.

I didn't notice that the pipe above was loose.

Boom——!

A huge noise echoed.

All the mechanical life forms here raised their heads and looked.

boom--!

The pipe broke from the inside!

The leaking steam gushes out!

Li Nuo and the others jumped out and landed in the underground square ten meters below.

After the player's level exceeds 30, and with added skills and attributes, it is not a big problem to take protective measures and jump off a ten-meter high platform.

ha……

Li Nuo raised his head, and two intruders jumped down.

However, when Marger landed, the mechanical life forms gathered their eyes to look at him.

Then,

Leader——

The leader is here——

Milan and Zongze were stunned.

In their eyes, they saw mechanical life forms bowing to Marger.

Snapped--!

Brother Ma snapped his fingers.

Destroy them both!

As soon as the words fell, dozens of pairs of eyes were trained on Milan and Zongze, and their hearts trembled slightly.

Suddenly, this group of mechanical life forms accelerated their speed and gathered together one by one, crashing into them like a turbulent tsunami!

Milan waved his long stick to block the front. The head of the stick was as fast as an afterimage to pick, chop, and block, opening up every incoming mechanical life form.

On the other side, Emil regained consciousness.

Li Nuo touched Emil's head and shouted: Emil, they are going to kill us!

Emil: Kill?

Li Nuo: Literally, is there any way?

Emil was heartbroken.

His eyes were locked on Milan and Zongze, purple magic essence was condensed and released from his eyes, and the ball of light instantly hit the two of them.

The two suddenly disappeared.

The Li Nuo trio were shocked when they witnessed all this.

What have you done, Emil?

Emil said: I just think they are so dangerous, so I want them to leave here, and then use magic, ah, it should be magic, anyway, I just teleport them away!

Li Nuo asked: Do you know where to teleport to?

Emil said: I hope they go to a more dangerous place, but it is probably inside the city...I don't know the specific location.

Anyway...at least it's safe for now.

Marjie came over, stared at Emil's face, pointed at this guy and laughed: Huh~ all we need is Chen Shou, and our team is complete.

Stop joking... Li Nuo turned off [Inner Potential] and asked: What are you talking about? Why do mechanical life forms work for you? Why do intruders find you on the street?

It's a long story. I accidentally became the leader of the sect of mechanical lifeforms... The intruders found me because of the wanted order. There were three intruders, and the girl among them had the ability to track prey. I really Can’t hide.”

Emil: The consumable supplies you are looking for are actually the cult boss?

Victor crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile: Actually, Brother Ma has been having a very painful time. The so-called cult has no choice but to do so.

Marger sighed and made a move to sit down. A mechanical life form crawled over and knelt down as a chair, and Marger sat on it.

Then this guy said with a lonely look on his face: I came to a women's bathhouse and was misunderstood as a wanted peeping tom. Later, I was caught and taken to prison.

Li Nuo felt that no matter what he thought, it shouldn't be a misunderstanding...

Let's not talk about cults for now. I'm not interested. Lao Ma, you just said...

Suddenly there was a shock from above.

Marger raised his head and then stood up: It's still dangerous nearby, go to my place and talk.

On the way, Marjie explained everything about himself.

He was captured by the artificial man immediately after his arrival.

He was shot in the head and saved his life with the help of a modified steel skeleton in his skull.

When I woke up again, I came to a world of consciousness.

Surrounded by structures suspended in a chaotic space, there are endless stairs and endless roads.

There is the threshold, also known as the prison.

The world of consciousness in the world of NieR is a palace where thoughts and memories are stored.

Theoretically, once you're in, it's impossible to get out.

But Marger found the exit and left the palace of consciousness by relying on the [Artificial Human Map Chip] he obtained for the first time in NieR.

What follows is a journey of escape.

He escaped from prison successfully.

While imitating Shawshank, he was captured by a group of mechanical life forms.

When the group of robots wanted to escort him to the security department in exchange for a reward, Ma Ge came up with a plan and said that he was an evolved mechanical life form.

Then he relied on the cybernetic body to fool the mechanical life form, and he was really regarded as the evolved form of the mechanical life form...

Here comes the trouble.

These mechanical life forms have developed religious thinking. They believe that Marger is a great evolutionary pioneer, just like the birth of Adam and Eve in humans.

Uh... Victor was thought of as Eve.

later……

Anyway...

Became a cult.

After talking about this, even Cha Bai, who is a bit naive, felt magical...

Li Nuo was not surprised, this was Marjie's basic skill.

Go on, talk about Jacol.

Li Nuo brought the topic back to what Marger said before entering the sewer.

Marger held a searchlight and led the way with the light, and said: 'Neil' and 'Riders on Dragon's Back' are divided into too many timelines. Jacquard wanders in various timelines, but the existence of York City I felt out of place in the world, and it was like a piece of shit had suddenly been inserted into a puzzle.”

Li Nuo: Can you please stop comparing yourself to this?

Marjie ignored him and continued: Because I received the task of hiding the world line, I just wanted to find out what's going on in this city. Is there a way... It's not difficult.

Victor added next to him: Brother Ma and I kidnapped the top executives of the York City Arms Dealer Company.

Emil's wheel paused. He was a little scared when he heard about the kidnapping...

Cha Bai was careful, patted the car and said softly: It doesn't matter, he is a good person.

Emil said hmm and followed.

Marjie took out a disk, and Victor handed him a player, inserted the disk, and handed it to Li Nuo.

Turn on the player and project a descriptive text:

[In 11606, in the airspace of the Kingdom of Darkness, the combat troops discovered the arrival of new alien creatures]

[Due to the previous alien invasion, we have to explore whether the creature is hostile. The alarm is at the highest level and the news is completely blocked. The other party is most likely to be alien reinforcements. Damn it... after so many years, it is still there. There are new aliens coming]

[In a crater, we found a strange-looking spacecraft...]

[I don’t know how to describe it, but the spaceship looks extremely improper, like a children’s toy]

[A few strange-looking guys walked out from inside. They have big square heads, which are yellow, like sponges]

[In 11607, communication with alien creatures entered a good state]

[These guys are different from the makers of mechanical life forms. They are very friendly. After hearing about us, they plan to help build a city that can accommodate mechanical life forms and us artificial humans.]

【crazy! How can this be! 】

[11615, the first city was established]

[Well... let’s just call it York City, because my name is York]

[In the days when we get along with these aliens, we feel... maybe there is a peaceful way to resolve disputes]

[In 11619, they helped the first batch of friendly mechanical life forms move in]

[In the same year, these little guys left here and continued their exploration of the universe]

[We are the first artificial beings to make a declaration of independence. Loyalty to mankind is far less important than our own independence. If we can really create a city that can resolve disputes, it will be our lifelong dream]

[11862, the world still hasn’t changed at all]

[The battle between artificial humans and mechanical life forms continues]

[In 11890, we plan to find their traces and use their abilities again]

[In 11926, liaisons from outer space found a planet with traces of their existence. That planet was almost exactly the same as the Earth]

[In 11937, the liaison officers rebelled, and they decided to stay on that planet under the name Yurha...]

Li Nuo looked at the last content in disbelief.

The Yurha he saw in the [Detective] mission was left behind by these artificial humans.

That is to say... the people from Cairo came here and opened another world line.

Huh, that's all.

Li Nuo said: About this matter... I just met Yacol. She said that she was looking for her in the 'sill'. It is necessary to go to the 'sill'.

Marger snapped his fingers.

He sneered and pushed open a door.

There are messy equipment inside.

Several of them resemble VR glasses.

When I escaped from prison, I also took out the things related to the prison.

Note 1: The novel Shounen Yorha mentions that male androids are difficult to control, so the subsequent combat types of Yorha's troops are all female androids.

Note 2: Chabai's original body 2B itself adopts the body data of A2. The two are almost identical from appearance to performance.
