Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 521 Operation "Reconnecting the Head"

"Each group reports their findings. Repeat, each group reports!"

"Sniper team, ready!"

"Assault team, ready!"

"The emergency response team has a question!"

"Hmm?" Nini looked at Kyle with displeasure, and Kyle's tall figure shrank back slightly.

"Uh, do we really need to be this careful? Nora on both sides seems pretty safe, not like anything's going to happen to them. Besides, even if Nora and Nora are combined, they probably can't beat so many people."

Nini stretched out her finger and shook it along with the tip of her tail: "No, no, no, this matter is not as simple as it seems. In the current knowledge, there has never been a case like Nora. Therefore, the consequences of the two Noras combined should not be predicted according to the original Nora."

"For example, Castells used olives to extract and process oil. Are the resulting soaps and nitroglycerin also a kind of food? Are their safety levels not much different from olive oil?"

Nini excitedly reached out and lifted Nora's head up.

"Similarly, although Nora herself is not very strong in combat, Nora (above) and Nora (below) together might be like nitroglycerin. It would be wrong to underestimate them."

Nora, held in her arms, stared blankly at the sky.

She no longer cared about living or dying; she was happy to die a quick death.

Even immortals have moments when they want to die; you get used to it after a while. Nora comforted herself with this thought.

“I see. It’s like sulfur saltpeter and charcoal, where one plus one equals more than two.” Kyle nodded thoughtfully.

"Wait, I have a question!" Nini turned around and looked at the tall girl standing to the side.

"What's wrong, Gwen?"

Gwen lowered her head somewhat embarrassed. Nini's appearance that day was too stunning, and even now she still doesn't dare to look Nini in the eye. Whenever she sees her, her godlike figure from that day will appear in her mind.

"Um, I have a question. If Nora and Nora become one Nora, then which Nora would that Nora be?"

The field fell silent.

Nini remained silent for a while before letting out a soft sigh.

"Well, that's actually our biggest concern."

She gently placed Nora's head on the open ground.

"It could be the Nora we knew before, or the Nora who fought alongside you with the flail, but there's another possibility—it's neither of those Noras."

She looked at Nora on the ground.

"Nora, are you really sure about this?"

“I’ve made up my mind.” Nora answered without hesitation in a serious voice. “I’m willing to try, even if it means death—besides, for the one who buries, death is already a good end.”

"Nora."

"Lady Nora"

Gwen and Monica, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up.

Gwen was taken in by Nora, who was practically the most important person to her. Monica, on the other hand, became friends with Nora over the past six months and often secretly took Nora away to go out and play with her.

The two did many daring things, some of which Hughes found quite hellish, such as taking Nora diving with him.
Nora doesn't have the same underwater adaptability as Hughes; although she might choke, she won't die.
In short, Nora is practically Monica's best friend—she hasn't been visiting Hoochloa's diary lately.

After all, diving with a book is even more hellish. Nora glanced at Monica and Gwen, and even her usually fearless eyes showed a moment of hesitation. She pursed her lips, but her gaze finally hardened.

She has always been a strong shield in front of people, but she still wants to stand up and fight for the people who matter.

Nora didn't say anything more, and everyone could see her choice.

Nini took a deep breath and straightened up.

"Everyone step back. Nora, try to control your body in a bit. We will do our best to help you, but if you turn into a monster, I will show no mercy."

"That is my fate. You have all helped me a lot. If I really fail, bury me in Castel. I have prepared my grave there."

Nora's face showed more composure. She looked up at the northern wilderness and even smiled.

From the North to Castel, from the Burialers to the break with the Church, Nora has never stopped fighting in her life; this is just another battlefield.

Nini also stepped back and, with Monica's help, put on the Banshee Armor.

Then, the mother-in-law came up, her expression stiff, like a puppet, holding the hand of another Nora.

The crowd quieted down and stared silently at what was in front of them.

Nora followed her mother-in-law closely, seemingly unaware of what was ahead.

Nora stared intently at her own body, her lips pressed tightly together.

"How are you? How do you feel?" Nini asked cautiously, peeking out as she held up a huge steel plate bunker.

"No. It's like looking at a strange corpse."

Nini turned to the elderly woman beside her with some concern: "Grandma, wait a minute."

"Don't worry, if things get bad, I'll grab her by the head and run away immediately. I've prepared plenty of clones here!"

Nini's gaze swept over the Dragon Breath Cannon in her mother-in-law's hand, and she nodded with a complicated expression.

Nora drew closer and closer, and when they were only a few meters apart, she suddenly stopped.

Her mother-in-law, who was holding her hand, slowly turned around, let go of her hand, and took a step back.

Nora's body faced her own head, as if she could already sense its presence, and hesitated.

"Nora, do you need to try to jog her memory or something? Or maybe call her name?"

Nora was taken aback, but thought it made some sense, and tentatively asked:
"Uh, Nora?"

The body suddenly stiffened, then rushed over and grabbed Nora's head!
She grabbed Nora's hair, and Nora winced in pain. Just as she was about to say something, Nora was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace with a loud "bang".

Nora held her tightly, a scene usually depicted on the battlefield, holding the body of a lover. Everyone who has read many of Nini's novels instantly imagined a similar scene.

However, Nora was holding her own corpse, well, part of her own corpse.

"What's going on? Does she have a crush on you?" Nini's question drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
"Oh, sorry, my professional instincts kicked in. I mean, can you sense her? Does this body have its own consciousness? Can you still control her?"

It seems impossible.

Before Nora could finish speaking, her body suddenly lifted her up and slammed her against her neck.
