NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"He...he can see us?!"

"Ghost, ghost!!!"

Chapter 103 I can’t tell the difference. I really can’t tell the difference.

Are there ghosts in this world?

The answer is yes.

In fact, Phoenix has always been aware of the concept of ghosts in the Ark world, and those ghosts can even really possess Nikki.

That's it...

A firepower enthusiast named Nien from the Pure Land of Bliss has every right to speak out.

However, judging from the current time point, she hasn't had time to be possessed by the ghost.

Coupled with the existence of Phoenix, the plot destroyer, it is still unknown whether Nian will go to the haunted elevator in the future.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Phoenix, whose vision and hearing are in extreme confusion, has no way of being sure whether the images and sounds he sees and hears are real, even though he knows that this world is haunted.

Are those ghost sisters who can overlap each other and have no collision volume an illusion or reality?

He couldn't tell.

He really can't tell the difference.

Therefore, the commander, whose senses were disordered but whose sanity was still intact, chose naively to ignore everything and focus only on his own sea of ​​consciousness.

[How is Yinhua's prosthetic body damaged? 】

[The extent of the damage is still within the acceptable range.]

Anik replied.

[The cause of the paralysis was that the pins of several key conductive chips were broken due to collision.

I plan to use a simple filling method to temporarily align and fix the chip and the pins. As long as I don't do strenuous exercise, there will be no problem walking normally. My hands and feet may occasionally move unsmoothly, but it's better than being completely unable to move.

The biggest problem is that the bionic spine has a 31.26% deformity, which will make it impossible for her upper body to turn and bend.

【As long as you can walk. 】

From the very beginning, Phoenix had low expectations for the results of the surgery. Hearing that Yinhua still had the possibility of moving, this conclusion was already a great joy for him.

Carrying a woman weighing more than 100 kilograms on his back was a bit painful, and he didn't want to try this nightmare experience again.

[We have agreed that if I repair it, my chip's computing power will definitely be overclocked. Now that broken chip is overclocked, it will leak electricity. No matter where in your brain the electricity leaks, you are not allowed to cause trouble to me! ]

He was suppressed several times in just a few dozen minutes. Looking back, it was difficult to tell whether the experience was comfortable or uncomfortable. Anik didn't want to try it a second time.

[If you really can't help it, go find Indivilla, not me! ]

After hearing what artificial intelligence said, the heretic who was living under someone else's roof became anxious on the spot.

Obviously, the way she was treated was called repression, okay?!

【Don't listen to her. She is deceiving you.

We were on the same chip, and I could vaguely sense the fluctuations in her data stream.

When you suddenly stopped earlier, I can guarantee that she felt a little unsatisfied. 】

[You! What are you talking about, you female liar! ]

After hearing Indiviliya's words exposing her past, Anik, who was just about to undergo surgery, blushed on the spot, stomped her feet, and stepped forward to mute her with several data streams.

Then she quickly changed the subject.

[I am going to prepare for surgery. Tell Yinhua right away that this surgery will be very painful.]

【…】

Considering that he needed help from others, Phoenix, who was cooperating with the performance, tacitly chose not to ask further questions. Instead, he explained Anik's diagnosis to Yinhua amid the chattering of the ghost sisters.

In response, the black-haired girl did not try to be too stubborn. She nodded and completely shut off her sense of pain.

Then, unable to suppress her doubts, she asked, "Where did you get so many repair tools?"

"what?"

The ghosts were talking very loudly, and Phoenix could vaguely hear what Yinhua was saying to him, but he couldn't hear the specific content clearly.

"Pretend I didn't ask."

Thinking that Phoenix didn't want to tell her his little secret, the black-haired girl felt inexplicably unhappy.

We are all comrades who share life and death. Would I betray him afterwards?

It's not like she hasn't written fake reports before.

As long as you understand how NIMPH restrictions work, it is not difficult for non-mass-produced Nikki to circumvent the restrictions, except for killing people.

"What did you say? I...just now I suddenly had some tinnitus."

Unexpectedly, even though the girl didn't intend to delve further into the matter, Phoenix still chose to continue asking.

This time,

Not to mention that something was wrong with Yin Huapin, even Diesel, who had been keeping his head down and silent for a long time, realized that there might be something wrong with the commander's condition again.

"...You, can't hear what I'm saying?" Yinhua said tentatively in a low voice.

"Commander? Do you remember your birthday?" Diesel also very cleverly tested softly.

However, what came in response to the two ladies' questions was an impatient whispered rebuke from Phoenix.

"Will you guys just shut the fuck up!"

Yinhua: “…”

Diesel: “…”

Ghost Nikkis: “…”

……

……

The Nikkis were silent.

The Nikkis, who turned into electronic ghosts after death, also fell silent.

Because everyone chose to remain silent, Phoenix, realizing that something was not right, naturally followed the crowd and stopped talking.

Everything returns to silence.

Only the buzzing sound of repairs continued tirelessly.

In the "crowded" tunnel, the atmosphere was not awkward, but there was a unique sense of solidification.

The man, feeling a little uneasy, slowly raised his head and looked at the group of ghost girls beside him who were obviously feeling wronged after being scolded. An absurd yet realistic and horrible conclusion was born in his mind.

Is it...

What he saw and heard were not hallucinations?

Among the various side effects of electricity passing through the brain, there is actually a negative effect of being able to see ghosts? ?

This……

Is this science? ? ?

After asking this soul-searching question, Phoenix changed his mind and immediately put this boring question behind him.

He can suppress heretics in his mind, what could be more unscientific than this?

It's just a haunted place, nothing surprising.

at the moment,

The most important thing was how to explain that the shout he just made was not directed at Yinhua and Diesel.

"that……"

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to give him a way out, a certain commander had no choice but to use his thick skin that was as thick as a city wall and said:

"I just heard a lot of women talking about us. Did you hear that?"

Yinhua: “…”

Diesel: “…”

The silence continued.

In fact, the girls were not angry about someone's unprovoked scolding.

Not only that, the two of them were worried about the commander's mental state.

From the moment they first returned to the tunnel and mistook Diesel twice, they both had a vague feeling that something was not right with someone.

Rumor has it that Commander Phoenix suffers from a serious mental disorder...

Now this seems to be true?

And it seems that his condition is even more serious than the rumors say. Not only does he have a bad temper and likes to hit people, he also has a certain degree of mental confusion.

What should I do?

They are not Medical Nikki, so it is impossible for them to bring psychiatric drugs such as sedatives before leaving the Ark.

……

【Done! 】

When Yinhua and Diesel looked at each other, thinking about how to appease the commander named Fei who was in a bad mental state.

On the other side, Anik, who had just refixed the injured patient's central chip, raised his chin.

【Let her stand up and try. 】

【Row. 】

When a mentally ill patient heard the news, he quickly took the opportunity to change the subject and said, "I've fixed it. Do you want to stand up and try?"

"……Um."

Out of sympathy for the patient, Yinhua didn't say much. In her heart, the gloomy anger she had felt when she was mocked for having a flat chest no longer existed.

Why bother with a mentally ill patient?

Isn't this bullying the disabled?

The girl first clenched her fists and felt a noticeable delay and lag in her ten fingers, but she did not feel dissatisfied with this.

Like Phoenix, she is satisfied as long as the repairs work.

Next, the black-haired girl began to slowly stand up tentatively...

However, the loss of functionality of the bionic spine was far more than she expected.

The extremely stiff spine caused Yinhua to lose his balance at some point while he was standing up straight, and the whole person fell backwards immediately, and Phoenix was firmly pressed down by his hundred-kilogram body weight.

then,

As the audience, Diesel and a group of ghost sisters immediately covered their mouths and eyes.

They all looked shyly at the flat-chested girl without clothes being hugged by the commander.

They both fell to the ground...

Chapter 104: Suppress with force, educate with force

Touched,

But it feels like I didn't touch it.
