NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Do not,

impossible!

It had just clearly overheard the man's sinister plan to use the smoke bomb on the east side as bait and then sneak to the west side himself.

This is such an ingenious method, there is no way it could have heard it wrong!

Absolutely! right! No! Can! able!

Chapter 17-1

“Pepper, if there is someone in this world who can spend something precious to save Anis, and this person hates Letcher deeply.

Tell me, if I promise her that I will kill three thousand Letchers for her, will she be able to help us?"

Phoenix asked dejectedly, listening to the helpless and furious roar of the big chimpanzee outside the window.

He was speaking to Pepper as well as to himself.

"My chips are still too few, not even enough to make others think. Three thousand Letchers...

Oh, even if I can really kill, others have no reason to believe it."

On the side, when Pepper learned that Anis's erosion could be removed, her eyes suddenly flashed with joy.

"Commander, is this person a good person?"

"Good guy?"

What a simple word.

Just as a certain adult was about to sneer at this, the image of Snow White suddenly appeared in his memory.

Are you a good person...

Nikki, who only wanted to destroy Letcher and didn't want anyone else to be sacrificed...

"From what I know, she should be one of the nicest people in the world."

Phoenix smiled self-deprecatingly and added, “But if the item that can save Anis is used to fight Letcher, perhaps it can save more people, thousands of people.

Pepper, we can't think that they should give us such precious things for free just because they are good people.

Am I right. "

"Oh……"

Hearing that the items that saved Anis could also save thousands of humans, Pepper pursed her lips in disappointment, but soon her eyes lit up again and she said tentatively:

"Then can we borrow it from her, Commander?

If she is not in a hurry to use it, we can borrow it from her first, and then make money to pay her back!"

"borrow……"

Someone murmured, then suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of emerald eyes stared at Pepper in disbelief.

"borrow?!!"

He thought about cheating, robbing, trading and even coercion, but how come he ignored the most common thing in the world: "borrowing"?

NIMPH remover.

This thing is so precious, but judging from the current timeline, there are probably only a few left in the world, and most of them are in the hands of pilgrims.

Although it is not precious, it can actually be produced in the original plot of the game, but the protagonist's blood is one of the main raw materials.

And Phoenix is ​​not the protagonist, so from his perspective, the NIMPH remover is indeed very precious.

But if he could catch a protagonist...

Ok?

No, no, no, that's off topic. The idea should be to use the information gap to convince Bai Xue that she has the ability to get a new remover, and then get an remover from her to solve the erosion problem for Anise.

Then, he went back to the Ark to find the protagonist and draw some blood. Then he gave the blood to Snow White and told her to take the blood to Dorothy to make a new remover. If she needed it again in the future, he would be willing to provide free services.

"Reasonable."

Under Pepper's gradually worried gaze, someone who had figured everything out laughed, completely unaware that he looked like a villain at the moment.

……

"Damn it! How can this Letcher heal itself?!"

In the sky, Besti, who was close to going berserk because of her inability to kill Xiaocao, had blue starlight flashing in her eyes. She angrily wanted to get more ammunition, but found that several boxes of rockets around her had been emptied by her.

　"I'm out of ammunition! Yinhua!"

After saying that, the silver-haired girl turned around and picked up the spare rifle and magazine in the transport plane, and planned to rappel down and put the muzzle of the gun into the Letcher's mouth, and fire a burst of bullets at it to see if it would die.

"return."

Being too familiar with Bestie's single-minded thinking when she was furious, Yinhua didn't even look at her and just shouted at her to stop.

After a period of buffering, she finally came to her senses.

Why did that third rate guy shout so loudly at that time?

And why did that third-rate guy unilaterally cut off the communication after he finished shouting?

After a long period of empathy, we eliminated several possibilities that did not meet the above two points.

Finally, Yinhua came up with an answer that annoyed her.

This damn third-rate guy didn't go west at all. The reason why the communication was cut off was that he was afraid that they would judge that he was not at the scene based on the ambient sound!

Hiding information from friendly forces, a third-rate person is indeed a third-rate person! Even if he is a little smarter than other third-rate people, he is still a third-rate person!

"Yinhua."

"Tsk! You are not allowed to go down there."

Yinhua, who had been deceived by some third-rate guy, had just put on her sour face, but Emma's subsequent report forced her to quickly turn around and look to the other side of the cabin.

"Over there, south by east, I think I saw a Nikki coming over."

"There's a Nikki? Emma, ​​you mean a Nikki?"

"Yes, she is the only one."

As Emma spoke, she skillfully searched the database.

"Hmm~ A top-level confidential document from the Central Government, codenamed Snow White from the fairy tale..."

BANG——!!!

Before Emma could finish her words, a gunshot that sounded like a mixture of explosion and buzzing suddenly rang out! The three special forces members were so startled that they immediately looked in the direction of the gunshot.

In the distance, on a rooftop only a few stories high, a figure as white as snow was shining brightly under the moonlight, and behind her on the left side, the muzzle of a 30mm electromagnetic cannon was burning wildly and distorting the surrounding air.

"Pilgrim?!"

The moment he looked into Bai Xue's golden pupils, Yinhua felt as if he was looking directly into the scorching sun at noon, and an instinctive urge to look away arose in his heart.

Even Besti, who was still in a violent state, was not much better. After seeing those eyes, most of the hostility in the girl immediately dissipated.

Is this the Pilgrim?

Those Nikkis who disobeyed Ark's orders and eliminated Letcher alone on the ground?

……

"coming."

"coming?"

"She is coming."

After the gunshot, in Pepper's slightly speechless eyes, Phoenix couldn't help but sigh while enjoying the noisy scolding from the west:

"This is a sense of security. You won't know until you experience it. Once you experience it, you can't stop."

"How did the commander know she would come?"

Seeing someone looking like a scumbag, Pepper, who was already familiar with the commander, immediately rolled her eyes cutely and said, "The commander hasn't told me who she is yet."

"Her."

Phoenix looked up at the ceiling, as if he was looking at an endless river of stars, his eyes full of nostalgia.

"She is the woman I have always wanted but could never get..."

"Wow, that's so corny."

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished talking yet."

"Okay, okay, Commander, continue."

"Her code name is Snow White. She is one of the women your commander has ever wanted most."

Pepper: "...of...one?!"

In the girl's contemptuous eyes, someone said more sadly:

"You won't understand. If distance can create beauty, then 0.0625 is the most broken love in the world for me."

Chapter 18: Nothing to be afraid of

As to whether someone's love is broken or not, Xiaoxiao, who is far away in the west, doesn't know and doesn't want to know.

It only knew that if it didn't respond quickly, when Bai Xue fired the next electromagnetic cannon, its body would definitely be shattered more than someone's love.

"Ginhua! That Letcher is trying to run away!"

Rather than paying attention to the pilgrims, Besti was more concerned about the situation of Xiaocao. If Letcher, who had the ability to self-repair, was allowed to escape like this, wouldn't the rockets he had fired earlier be wasted?

sieve--

As soon as Besti finished speaking, Bai Xue, who was standing on the rooftop, leaped forward. With her powerful body functions and sufficient height, she successfully jumped over the street, and her feet stepped on the low-rise windowsill of the building across the street with incredible precision.

Boom! ! !

Faced with the pressure from nearly a thousand pounds of feet, the delicate window sill, which was only a dozen centimeters thick, exploded, and a large amount of brick debris flew in all directions, making a sound like heavy rain.

In the dust, Bai Xue, who had just stepped on the windowsill, jumped backwards again, landed steadily on the street, and then ran in the direction of the noisy escape.

"Chase!"

At the same time, Yinhua also decisively issued a pursuit order.

That Letcher individual was too special, so they had to at least transport a portion of its tissue back to the Ark so that the research department would have something to do.

As a result, the special forces representing the top combat power of the Ark and the Pilgrim Organization representing the top combat power of Nikki tacitly chased westward together...

Phoenix, with a head full of question marks, stood there in a daze, staring at Pepper.

"Commander... um... they seem to be ignoring us."

"..."

"Well, Commander, don't be discouraged! After all, it is Nikki's job to eliminate Letcher, so..."

"Walk."

"Eh?"

Phoenix's face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out. He hurriedly pulled up the collar on his right shoulder, and all his attention was focused on the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

Red dot,

Another wave of red dots.

There was also a large one mixed in the middle. Judging from its size, it should be the Lecher that almost caught up with Lavi and the others during the day.

Looking at the direction of Xiaocao's escape, it went from west to south, then east, making a U-turn. It seemed that this guy who couldn't afford to play didn't intend to escape at all. He wanted to wait for the arrival of the Letcher group to launch a counterattack.

"Let's not use the sniper rifle on the fourth floor. Let's head north and meet up with Lapi and the others."

"Copy that, Commander!"
