But if you think about it from another perspective, you will find that everything she said was an excuse.

He talks a lot about righteousness and morality, saying that he is doing it for Nikki and so on, but his ultimate goal is still just to justify the atrocities he has committed.

"It's precisely because I don't want anyone to die that I scheduled the time for the victory celebration of the Metis army, in order to minimize the sacrifices. Well, that's probably it." Krau explained casually.

"No one knows whether what you say is true or false except you."

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

"However, Alnwick was far more powerful than I imagined. Not only did they relocate most of the people to shelters and return Nikki and Letcher to the other side of the television, but even the heretics who joined during the game were ultimately defeated by the inexplicably arriving pilgrims." Krau said with regret. "Their arrival has made the programs created by the government and businesses even more exciting and fresh. People still haven't truly seen Letcher, and Nikki is still a living being on TV. This is not the situation I want to see."

"......"

"I know what you want to see."

Green was silent for a while. After laying the groundwork for so long, he already knew what Krau wanted to see.

massacre.

She wanted to see Letcher indiscriminately slaughter the citizens of the Ark and Nikki. Everyone would die, and civilization and buildings would be reduced to a sea of fire. Even the once-high-ranking rich and famous would not be spared. By this time, except for a few high-ranking officials, most people had been evacuated to the shelter. When Letcher invaded the shelter, it would be a true apocalypse, a revenge orchestrated by Krau against the Ark.

Her evil and chaotic true nature was finally revealed to the world at this moment.

But even so, Krau continued to whitewash himself without leaving any room for explanation: "You know? Of course you know. In fact, you should also be curious to see what choice the Ark will make when Letcher appears in it."

"Don't confuse me with you."

"......"

"Government and corporate giants probably rarely talk to you about the history of the Ark, but unfortunately, I know a lot." Krau lit a mint-flavored women's cigarette and said, "Let's start with the Goddess Army."

"The Goddess Army. They once gave everything for humanity and were revered as goddesses of victory and the hope of mankind. But once the Ark was built, they were abandoned."

"Because there's a rift between humans and Nikki, it's easy for Ark to make this choice."

"After that came the First Ground Reconquest War. Those girls who willingly sacrificed their brains for humanity and became Nikki were once again crowned the goddesses of victory."

"But after the failure of the first ground reconquest, Ark began to persecute the Nikki mercilessly. Through Ark propaganda, these Nikki were reduced to mere rubbish that cost the Ark a great deal of money and resources but could not achieve victory. That's when the term 'Nikiphobes' began to emerge."

"This also reflects the gap between humans and Nikki."

"Later, the second war to retake the ground failed again. The first Nikki artist, Priti, died, and the ZX Godfall incident occurred. These events all tell us that Ark has been manipulating public opinion and swaying public sentiment."

"But this is their usual tactic."

"When Nikki was needed, they were held high and lauded as goddesses of victory. Then, when the war failed and the citizens needed to be appeased, they were persecuted again. The history of the Ark has been repeating this process, like a wheel, going round and round, endlessly."

"I'm sure this is all due to estrangement."

"As I said earlier, although Nikki is on the Ark, she doesn't exist there. She's just a part of the TV show, a topic of conversation after dinner. She's a goddess of victory who's given a title when a war is needed, but discarded like a piece of trash when the battle is lost."

“So why did this happen?” Krau asked, but quickly gave his own answer: “Because they don’t feel it.”

"Ark is not afraid of Letcher. Why?" "Because they have no personal experience."

"The Ark isn't grateful to Nikki. Why? Because they don't exist here, just like Letcher doesn't exist on the Ark. Humans know nothing about what's happening on the surface, and they will never be able to experience the same feelings."

"That's why I have to tell all this to Ark, to force them to start understanding it all."

"Only when humans fully understand Nikki and Letcher will the Ark make a true [choice]."

The choices Krau mentioned are nothing more than the two choices that Ark might make under the pressure of public opinion.

The first is to continue to suppress Nikki's human rights and maintain the status quo. If they really do this, it means that this society has already been rotten to the point of being hopeless. Then those who stand on Nikki's side at this moment are destined to be there. For example, Green, if he raises his arm and calls for action, Nikki will definitely rise up and join him in overthrowing this shitty world.

The second is to succumb to public opinion and the truth, thereby improving Nikki's treatment. Although it may not improve much, it is still a huge improvement.

"If you can understand what I'm saying, then you should know that everything I do may help you realize your long-cherished wish of improving Nikki's treatment." Claw paused.

Just then, her eyes suddenly turned to the TV.

On the other side of the TV program, the second chess piece planted by Krau quietly began to move.

"Watch TV, my hero."

"Look carefully at this great gift I personally give you."

"You'll definitely like it, right?"

Chapter 4100: Krau, Get Down! ()

When the TV program started, the camera stayed on the shelter.

A Letcher was standing in the shelter. Although it did not move for the time being, its terrifying appearance alone was enough to scare the people watching TV into screaming.

"Then, what is that?"

"The background on TV seems to be another shelter... I remember it was Shelter No. 17, right?!"

"Why is Letcher here?"

"Could it be that the Ark has been breached?"

The people in the shelter were at a loss.

A familiar voice came from the screen again.

"Dear citizens of the Ark, have you seen this?! The shelter is no longer safe!"

"Just now, Letcher broke into a shelter!"

"Everyone in the shelter is dead, and so are the remaining shelters!! This is not a safe place at all. The central government deceived us and used us as bait to attract Letcher. If you hear this news, please leave the shelter immediately. If you stay there, everyone will die!"

The rapid shouting on the screen sounded like a girl who had just been attacked.

Green thought about it and found that it was Yuni's voice.

what is she doing?

The shelter is obviously the safest place, so why did she lie and trick people out?

After thinking for a while, Green probably guessed Yuni's intention.

She wants revenge on Shu En.

"I didn't expect you guys even got in touch with Yuni."

"Hehehe, hahaha, hahahahahaha!" After glancing at the TV and then at the commander in the chair, a delighted smile played across the corners of Krau's mouth. After a burst of pleasant laughter, she subsided and said, "Judging from your expression, you don't seem all that surprised. But to avoid any misunderstanding, I have to remind you that I can't order that Yuni around."

"I just gave her a hint."

"But her acting skills are better than I thought." Viper smiled wryly, but there was a hint of agreement in that smile, and it was not completely sincere.

"That's really good. Throwing Letcher, whose senses have been cut off, into an empty shelter, creating the illusion that all the refugees have been killed by Letcher, and then using words to incite the people and cause a riot." Krau stared at the TV screen and praised, "They're truly worthy of being a force developed by Missilis to capture Letcher. They're born for this kind of thing."

"Do you know what you're doing, Krau?" Green sighed, his expression suddenly serious. "If you only make a hole in the Ark and don't cause any casualties, then you still have a chance of survival."

"but now."

"You no longer have any choice. Alnick will definitely torture you in the most brutal way. Not only me, but even the CEOs of the three major corporations wouldn't be able to save you."

"Oh, really?" Klav knew she couldn't turn back, but she still maintained a flamboyant attitude. "But unfortunately, I'm not a civil servant of the Ark. When a desperado embarks on this road of exile, he must have already gambled his life. Otherwise, why would she be called a desperado?"

"Humph."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's continue watching."

Krau reached out and pulled aside the curtains covering the window.

Through the broken windows, the urban area of ​​Ark can be vaguely seen.

The street should have been quiet, but the next second, countless people rushed out of the shelter screaming, and these people immediately attracted the Letchers who were still wandering on the streets and had not been eliminated.

boom!

Bullets and lasers rained down on the crowd, scorching and piercing the fragile bodies of the people.

In desperation, Anik immediately sent Nikki to rush to the rescue.

But even so, this chaotic situation cannot be easily calmed down.

Krau stood in front of the window, silently admiring the beautiful scenery she created with her own hands.

The humans killed by Letcher fell helplessly, and the man who tried to play dead to escape had his ribs broken by panicked passers-by. Nikki, covered in blood, squatted on the ground to rescue the dying humans and children. Nikki, who was determined to destroy Letcher, kicked away the woman's hand asking for help at her feet; the old man who handed Nikki bullets, the man who tried to remove Nikki's helmet to arm his child, the man who picked up Nikki's weapon and tried to shoot and was finally knocked to the ground by the recoil, and the rich man who shouted that he would pay money to let Nikki protect him first.

Ark, this was once a paradise that favored humans.

But now, it has become a cage of equality.

In this hell on earth, Nikki is finally no longer the one to bear it all. Now, no one can escape, no one can leave.

And this is what the end of the world should be like.

"finally..."

"I saw what I wanted to see most." Krau stared at the Ark engulfed in flames, his smile growing ever more cheerful. "In the face of this most primal fear, humans and Nikki finally came to fully understand each other."

"It's a wonderful event, isn't it?"

"That's what massacre is all about. Regardless of gender, age, height, weight, wealth, beauty or ugliness, facing Letcher's artillery fire, there is no longer any barrier between people."

"And the humans who survive this chaos will naturally turn their attention to Nikki, who has been neglected. They will suddenly realize that they have actually been living in an information cocoon woven by Ark, their minds and souls firmly controlled by the company's algorithms. But the truth has been revealed to the world, and Ark can no longer conceal it. Now, Ark must make the most honest choice again."

"..."

"Well, it's about time."

Krau drew the curtains shut with a snap.

As soon as she turned around, she felt something strange in the room.

It was as if the rope around Green had come loose.

No, that's not right.

It is impossible to break free with human strength.

Krau frowned, and the next second, just as she expected, Green cut the rope that bound his wrists, and then stood up from the chair with a cold face.

"Klau, it's time to settle the score with you." After bending her numb knuckles, Green looked at Krau in front of her. Although she was a little surprised, she was not that surprised.

"Well... I don't know what tricks you used to untie the rope, but do you want to settle the score with me?"

"Why?" Krau took out the cigarette from his mouth, threw it to the ground and stomped out the cigarette butt. Then he tilted his head and said, "I thought you could understand me, but the answer you gave doesn't seem to satisfy me."

"After all that, you're actually afraid of death, aren't you, Krau?" Green clenched his fists and sneered, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to indoctrinate me with your fallacies. Ultimately, you just want me to understand you, to help you distort your testimony, and then shift the blame onto the Outer Rim terrorist organizations and Yuni and the others."

"The plan was perfect, but you miscalculated just one thing."

"I do stand on Nikki's side, but I will never associate with a terrorist like you who enjoys killing people."

"In the name of the commander of the counterattack force, I am arresting the three of you, Krau, Viper, and Jackal. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. If you refuse to cooperate, then be prepared."

"......"

Krau stared at Green as he approached.

After a moment, she smiled contemptuously.

"Do you think you are my opponent?" she asked. "Although I am not as good as Nikki in your army, I am still more than enough to deal with a human..."

Before Krau could finish her bluff, Green swung his fist and hit her on the right cheek.

Pooh!

Krau took two steps back in disbelief, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

What a fast punch.

And this speed seems to be no less than Nikki's.

"Why, are you surprised?"

"It seems that you really look down on my strength."

"But let me tell you, my continuous victories aren't just due to luck. Even if you confiscate my weapons, I can still beat you down and make you flee in panic." Green grumbled as he swung his fist from below, hitting Krau's lower abdomen hard. "Get down!"

"!!!"

Krau groaned in pain.

She subconsciously wanted to draw her gun, but found that there was no particularly good angle in the room.

Nikki cannot shoot at humans. Although Krau has a way to bypass nimph, she still has to use a relatively roundabout way to shoot, such as shooting through steel plates or something else, otherwise she will never be able to pull the trigger.

So, the only way to suppress him now is close combat.
