NIKKE, when the stars bloom

It's almost reached its limit.

Bai Xue's intermittent thinking could no longer provide her with an efficient combat route, so she had to cooperate with Lapi in the battle.

However, his remaining rationality still urged him not to faint.

Anis's erosion has not been resolved, the excuse for retreating to the Ark has not been explained, and Anis's stay or departure has not been instructed...

There are so many remaining problems waiting for me to solve, so I absolutely... absolutely... cannot...

Boom! ! !

In a trance, the man sitting by the pillar saw a white figure rushing into his blurred vision, followed by red, gray, and black...

"Lavi... take everyone out."

Phoenix, whose vision was about to go dark, simply closed his eyes and didn't listen to what others were saying. He just kept talking to himself:

"Three seconds...Except for Shirayuki...Everyone get out. Anyone eavesdropping, don't call me commander."

"three."

"..."

"..."

"Lend me the antidote to save her... I'll pay you back in two years at the latest... one year at the earliest. Plus... plus three thousand more Letchers. If you're not satisfied, we can increase the price later... Deal?"

As Phoenix spoke intermittently, Bai Xue looked back at Anis who was still repeating "confirm target location", and then looked at the man in disbelief.

"Why……"

"stop."

The man with his eyes closed seemed to be a little anxious because of the girl's opening sentence, and his tone immediately took on a bit of annoyance and slight fear.

"I'm... in a hurry. After the deal is done... I have something else to discuss. Even if the deal isn't done, it's still possible."

Bai Xue: "..."

……

……

Squeak, squeak.

Snow White stepped on the candy house door covered with broken glass with her metal boots. She looked at Rabbi and others across the street with her eyes that were no longer cold. She couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked gently:

"Who is he?"

"you still need to ask?"

Lorfu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, spoke first:

"A man who is out of print in the entire Ark."

Chapter 21 Who is Alnic? (Three in One)

[Why did she have to go to this extent? She is just a Nikki, and not very powerful.]

[You are not my girlfriend, please don’t ask me such speechless questions as “Why do you like me?”, “What do you like about me?”, “Why are you so nice to me?”]

[Shirayuki, do you really want to know why I saved her? ]

[I’m so annoyed because she has big breasts! Big breasts! Is that okay?! Why so many whys! Is she planning to be a scientist in the future?!]

[Anis, the dissolver will destroy the NIMPH nanorobots in your brain through the blood. From now on, you will be the same person as before, and you will feel all kinds of strong negative emotions again. ]

[Annis, there are two paths to take now.

First, Bai Xue and I will continue to increase the bargaining chips. I will ask her to take you to find the elevator in the Outer Edge area of ​​the Ark. No one will check your identity in that no-man's land. You can live in the Outer Edge area for a while first.

The second one is to pretend to have amnesia. Listen, there is no NIMPH in your brain anymore. The central government’s brainwashing and memory scanning are ineffective. You don’t recognize anyone, so leave the rest to me.

You have to remember that if you take the second route, you may be sent to the ground, and there will be no NIMPH to help you suppress your fear. Once you show fear, you will be exposed immediately. 】

[Anis, which one do you choose?]

【Which one do you choose? 】

[Which one? ]

[Commander, I choose...]

[No. ……]

Drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-

The rather disturbing monitoring sound sounded competently the moment Phoenix slowly opened his eyes.

Mmm, the smell of disinfectant spray...

So you are in the hospital?

Thoughts were like a downloader without a membership, squeezing out toothpaste slowly. If there was a mutated smart ogre in the world, Phoenix felt that his thinking speed was probably not much different from that of the other.

ark?

The memories of having experienced life-threatening situations on the ground began to flood back. When the sound of Letcher's machine gun rang in his mind, someone subconsciously clenched his right hand.

Then, a strange, novel, and weird perception was transmitted to his brain along the synapses.

hand,

It's still there.

But from the perspective of touch, Phoenix immediately realized that his right hand was definitely not the original one he was born with.

The feeling of the index finger and thumb rubbing against each other was so strange that it made his scalp tingle.

It's like being pressed for an hour, with the soles of your feet completely numb and calloused, rubbing against each other. You can say that there is some touch, but it is simply a fantasy to want to distinguish the material with just your fingers.

I clearly remember asking Bai Xue to pass a message to Rabi. If he still hasn't woken up after returning to the Ark, he should tell Central Phoenix Commander that he is a supporter of evolutionism and will not accept prosthetic limbs.

There was no way Rabi would forget his instructions, so the central government could only unilaterally enforce the implantation of the prosthesis after hearing his statement.

Who is it?

Ingrid and Anderson both adopted a style of using courtesy before force. Even if they wanted to install a prosthetic limb for him, they would at least wait until he woke up, and then use negotiation and pressure to force him to submit.

Ma Shiding generally would not take the initiative to participate in such affairs, and Shuen did not have the intelligence in this area.

However, the short and fat deputy commander Burnim is very suspicious. Although he looks weak and incompetent every day, he is actually quite scheming and has a special liking for the "act first and report later" action plan.

As for the other deputy commander, Duo Wan, he was just a high-level waste who focused on internal strife. He was no different from those rebellious eunuchs in the history of the previous life. He looked down on a small fry like himself.

Could it be Alnwick?

What is its motivation?

Just as Phoenix was still wondering who had forcibly attached a mechanical right arm to him, a soft alarm sounded from the door of the intensive care unit.

Ding-dong-

The visitors were neither Pepper and Merry as Phoenix hoped, nor Burnim and Shuen as Phoenix worried.

Just a female doctor in a white coat.

"Lieutenant Phoenix, I'm Harley, your ward doctor. I need to conduct a comprehensive examination of your body. Please cooperate."

"Ah."

After Dr. Harley removed a bunch of electrode patches and oxygen masks from his body, Phoenix, who felt a discomfort in his right shoulder, slowly sat up from the hospital bed.

how to say……

The left and right sides are not balanced, so you may need to tie a few weight-bearing iron plates on your left arm in the future.

"Lieutenant Phoenix, your prosthetic replacement surgery was successful, and the rejection reaction between the nerves and micron-scale mechanical components was quite weak.

All the prostheses replaced for you in this operation are Ark's latest military-grade prostheses, and the replaced parts include your right arm, both lungs, and ribs.

Since the military requires your right arm to have at least seven days of full-power endurance, we replaced your right lung with an energy core and your left lung with a micron-scale gas replacement device. In terms of oxygen replacement speed, the theoretical efficiency of this device is 4.3 times that of a biological lung. "

As the explanation went on, it was not difficult to hear from Dr. Harley's tone that her emotions were a little high, perhaps because of her love and pursuit of her profession.

“In addition, we consider that the prosthetic ribs will exert a high load on your body, so we have added auxiliary metal support modules for your entire spine.

If you notice a foreign body sensation in your back or waist, this is normal. You can expect this sensation to go away within three to eighteen months.”

"What success rate did you calculate for this operation?" Phoenix couldn't help but ask curiously after listening to Dr. Harley's summary.

After all, he had attended the Central Military Academy for a year. Even if he had only learned the basics of each course, he was still very clear about how low the survival rate of large-scale prosthetic surgery was.

"According to the calculation of Ark AI, the survival rate of this operation is 5.309%"

"?"

Someone seriously suspected that he had heard it wrong and turned his head to look at the doctor.

"How many???"

"The survival rate of this operation is 5.309%, and the disability rate after survival is 51.625%." Dr. Harley smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Phoenix, you are very lucky. According to my current examination, your operation is so perfect that it can be included in the textbook as a classic case."

"..."

Originally, Phoenix was just dissatisfied with the leader who ordered the forced surgery on him.

Now, he felt that if he had the chance in the future, he would like to put the gun into that grandson's mouth and shoot him hard.

Ding-dong-

The door to the ward opened again.

Two officers in dark green military uniforms walked into the intensive care unit expressionlessly, their shiny leather shoes making delicate crackling sounds as they stepped on the cold floor tiles.

"Doctor, how is Lieutenant Phoenix recovering?"

One of the officers, who had high cheekbones and slightly sunken cheeks, said indifferently:

"Is it convenient to move?"

"Well, the lieutenant's health is recovering well as expected." Dr. Harley still maintained her straightforward personality.

After hearing this, the officer with high cheekbones nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, then please, Lieutenant Phoenix, come with us now."

"Hey, man, you sound like you're going to a court-martial."

"This is a military order! Lieutenant!"

"Uh...I understand."

The officer felt a little embarrassed when he scolded Phoenix's playful look, and the arrogance and disdain in his eyes finally sneaked out from his pupils.

Haha, after all, he is just a civilian cannon fodder who has never seen the world. He thinks that he can talk to the descendants of these glorious soldiers by coming back alive from the ground.

Just a fool without any sense of propriety.

At the same time, the "foolish fool" was also thinking:

He didn't tell me the content of the military order directly, but was eager to take me away. It seemed like it was a private order from some senior military official.

Although this idiot's attitude towards himself is not good, it is not deliberately artificial or targeted.

This indirectly shows that the person who handed over the order did not take him too seriously, at least he did not express goodwill or malice in front of his subordinates.

In short, let’s rule out the eunuch Duowan first.

Then the remaining options he knew about were only Anderson and Burnim.

who can that be?

……

……

boom! ! !

"Tell me! What did you talk about with Nikki called the Pilgrim? Where did the Nikki called Anis go?!"

"Sir, I really just asked that... um, you call her the Pilgrim? Then call her the Pilgrim. Anyway, I asked that Pilgrim for help. Then she looked at Anis's condition and said she could help me treat Anis. I watched her suffer so much that I couldn't stand it anymore and I passed out."

"Stop pretending to be stupid!!!"

In the interrogation room made entirely of welded steel plates, the ferocious-looking interrogator Jack slammed the table and stood up, his leopard eyes fixed on the tourmaline eyes of the prisoner at the opposite table.

"How did you know that the pilgrim could solve the erosion problem!!!"
