NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

Although Nikki is not particularly curvy among all the girls, she has outstanding aesthetic taste. Her graceful figure is well embellished by the white dress, giving people an angelic and gentle feeling.

Resting his head on her legs, Green sighed slightly and suddenly asked, "Tell me, how many enemies do I have to defeat and how many Letchers do I have to kill before I can recapture the ground forever and achieve success?"

"I don't know, but I hope that one day, we can all realize our wishes."

"I hope so."

"..."

"Speaking of which, did I forget someone?"

Green thought about it and felt that he had forgotten something during this trip to Eden.

He lay on Dorothy's lap and searched his memory for a long time before he remembered that there was an unlucky guy on the Ark who had been held hostage in the Garden of Eden.

"Is that Barbielong still your customer?"

Green asked, looking at Dorothy's beautiful face.

"Yes, although she herself is not a top executive, I think it's better for me to hold a card."

Dorothy smiled slightly. Barbielon was her trump card to threaten Burnim. As long as she was in her hands, Burnim would do whatever she said.

Of course, it doesn’t mean you can do everything.

Dorothy had a private conversation with Burnim when she visited the Ark before.

The fat commander, though seemingly ordinary and somewhat weak, was a classic human-supremacist politician, a master of disguise, if you took a closer look. Everything he did was for the benefit of humanity as a whole. Therefore, Dorothy's trump card was still useful for the time being, but whether it would continue to serve as a deterrent was more uncertain.

"Ah."

"Do whatever you want, Barbielong. She's a fence-sitter, always leaning towards whichever direction the wind blows. But judging by the current direction of the wind, she probably won't be able to return to Burnim anytime soon."

Green nodded, tacitly approving Dorothy's transgression: "Don't worry too much. I won't take her back unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, I don't like Burnim, and he will pay a heavy price for what he did to me before."

"..."

"I'm going back to the Ark. Can you give me something before I leave?"

"What else do you want, Your Excellency?"

"I'm not greedy. How about another kiss from you?"

Green blinked.

Dorothy blushed slightly and cursed inwardly, "Disgusting."

But she cursed obscenely, and the next second, she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

"If one day the Ark abandons you, please don't worry."

"Paradise will always be your home. I will be waiting for you here."

"Until one day in the future, we will finally build a paradise on this earth that truly belongs to us."

Chapter 271: Ark, rainy day, kitten, Edmi.

rain.

The petite girl walked alone in the alleys of the Ark.

This alley is a place she often visits, where she has an unforgettable past and trauma that is difficult to let go.

There were apartment buildings on both sides of the alley. Because it was an old city area, even the moss on the walls looked old. The girl stared at the deserted house for a long time, and finally looked down at the dripping rain that gathered into a stream and seeped into the sewer.

Meow~

Accompanied by a cat's meow, a little black cat suddenly jumped out from nowhere and landed on the girl's knees.

The laws of Ark prohibit keeping cats. Only a very small number of nobles with licenses have the right to keep animals. When she saw the kitten, she was obviously frightened, fearing that she would get into trouble.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from nearby.

The girl tried to stand up in a panic, but the man was already holding an umbrella and walking quickly towards her.

"Edmi? Why are you here?"

Green, who had just returned to the Ark from the Garden of Eden, looked at Nikki sitting under the eaves with some surprise. Although he had just returned, after hearing that the nearby supermarket was having a super sale, he put down the trivial matters at hand and rushed over with his family to do some shopping.

Rabbi, Anis and the others had gone ahead.

As for himself, after tidying up the house, he set off a little slowly, so he walked slowly here alone.

Who would have thought that on such a monotonous, wet rainy day, I would actually meet Nikki, whom I knew, in such a gloomy alley. But she seemed a little nervous now.

"Point, Commander!"

"I didn't do anything. This isn't my cat. I, I was just..."

"Don't be nervous, Edmi. I'm just passing by. Is this your kitten?"

Green put away his umbrella and squatted down.

He gently stroked the little black cat's head, then looked at the identification tag on it, but the name on it had been erased, and the collar around its neck that should have had its citizen ID written on it had also been removed. Obviously, it had been abandoned by its owner and had now become a displaced stray cat.

"It didn't have a collar, and there was no name on the tag. It was abandoned by its owner."

Green sighed, removed his hand from the kitten's head, and looked at Edmi beside him.

Among the many Nikkis Green had met, Edmi was considered the petite type.

She doesn't have a mature figure, nor does she have explosively plump proportions. Petite and cute is often people's first impression of her, and her dress often reminds people of a girl in school: a gray sweater with a white jacket on the outside, a short skirt, white socks, sneakers, and a lacquered yellow school bag. Even the person who doesn't judge people by appearance will say "this is a girl" at first glance.

But Edmi has always been much better at dealing with people than her two colleagues in the triangle force.

Yursha is straightforward and likes to scold people. Privati is a flower in a greenhouse. As a civil servant of Ark, her life has always been smooth sailing and she is well cared for by everyone. Therefore, she is a bit rash and foolish in everything she does.

On the contrary, Edmi is polite to others and mature in his actions, just like the little black cat abandoned by its owner, well-behaved, cute and likable.

Edmi reached out and gently stroked the kitten's head, saying softly, "Commander, has it been abandoned by its owner?"

Green nodded and said, "That's what it seems like. If it wasn't abandoned intentionally, I'm afraid the owner wouldn't have taken off the collar... I've seen many people who get pets on a whim, and many of them are just like that: they just think cats and dogs are cute, so they keep them."

"But in the end, there are always reasons of one kind or another. They don't want to take responsibility, so they just abandon their beloved pets, as if they can just move on with their lives without seeing them."

"..."

"Poor little cat, it has nothing now."

"But at least I can still feed it something."

Edmi stroked the kitten's head, took out another Poppet from his pocket and fed it to it.

The kitten, who had been hungry for a long time, meowed and started to eat happily.

Seeing it eating so happily, a smile appeared on Edmi's cute face.

"Don't you want to take it home and raise it, Edmi?"

Green looked at her young profile and couldn't help asking.

"Commander, we are not allowed to keep pets. You know, Nikki is just a tool for the Ark. If you keep a pet without permission, you will be severely punished by your superiors."

Edmi shook her head. Although she wanted to, feeding the kitten some Poppet was the best she could do.

"What a pity."

"I'll call the ACPU team and ask them to come over. Let Polly and the others take care of the kitten. If they can't find a buyer, they'll have to send it to an animal rescue center."

Green took out his cell phone and called the police station. Soon, Polly and Miranda rushed to the scene.

Polly held a cardboard box and put the abandoned stray cat inside. Then the white-haired puppy began to sigh again: "Oh, why are there abandoned cats again? It's obviously difficult to get a pet certificate in Ark, but these people still dump cats and dogs outside one by one. Our police station has to deal with four or five similar incidents every day. This time it really makes the cats and dogs fly around!"

"Thank you for your help this time, Polly, Miranda."

Green said.

"No problem, Commander! Helping everyone is our mission! So please rest assured, with the technical level of our police department, it won't be difficult to investigate its owner. We will teach that citizen a lesson. Well, then, we'll be leaving now!"

In the drizzling rain, Polly and Miranda walked away with the kitten.

Edmi stood there reluctantly, staring at the cat hiding in the box for a long time before she was awakened by the sound of her hungry stomach.

"Ah, sorry..."

"Commander, are you hungry? I have some biscuits and Popeye here."

"Thank you, then I'm welcome."

Green didn't hesitate either. He had been rushing to the supermarket to buy promotional items and had no time to eat dinner. In addition, he was physically strong and ate more than others every day. Therefore, once his daily routine started to get disrupted, his stomach would often growl.

Green took the snacks handed to him by Edmi and was about to open the package.

In the alley beside me, a middle-aged woman holding an umbrella walked slowly.

She glanced sideways at Edmi, a hint of hysterical questioning in her calm eyes. Standing in the rain, she pointed at Edmi's face and suddenly burst into a violent curse: "You, it's all your fault! You freak, you've already torn our family apart, and now you're haunting us like a ghost?! What do I have to do to get you to let us go?"

Edmi had never expected to run into her relatives here. Although they had long been cut off from each other, she still subconsciously called out, "Mother, Mother?"

The middle-aged woman glared at her and angrily said, "Don't call me that. I'm not your mother, and you're not my Edmi! You iron monster, it's all your fault. My life is a mess now. Get out of here!"

The woman cursed while picking up her vegetable basket and trying to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Green held up an umbrella and blocked her way.

The middle-aged woman glared at him and said angrily: "Who are you?"

Green frowned and said, "Friend of Edmi, please speak with respect, ma'am."

Unexpectedly, the woman spat on the ground and continued to curse, "I've heard of you. You're the commander who spoke for those iron monsters, right? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're wearing this military uniform. Do you know who my ex-husband was? He was from the central government. I've met all kinds of important people in my life. Who are you?"

"And that iron monster standing next to you, you like to speak up for her? Just wait, one day, they will destroy your family and your whole family! Get out of my way!"

The woman squeezed roughly through the alley, the patter of rain drowning out her whispered curses.

Green shook his head.

He would rather go to the ground and fight Letcher than argue with a unreasonable middle-aged shrew.

But the woman spoke so harshly, calling Edmi a freak and a tin monster, and judging from her tone, she might even have been Edmi's mother.

Green glanced at Edmi beside him.

Her face, which always looked overly mature and expressionless, was now filled with tears.

"Edmi? What's wrong with you?"

Green half-knelt down, took out a tissue from his arms, and gently wiped away her tears: "Don't cry, what if your eyes get swollen from crying?"

"Commander... I'm fine... I just... my eyes got wet from the rain."

"Sorry, Commander, I still have work to do. Excuse me!"

Without waiting for his consent, Edmi ran into the rain in a panic.

Her embarrassed departure also left a mark in Green's heart.

Edm.

She looked like the girl next door, but why was her personality so different from her appearance? She even rarely sought his advice.

With doubts in his mind, Green picked up his phone, opened Balabala, and sent a message to Edmi's old teammate Yurxia.

——Yursha——

Green: "I know you're usually very busy with work, so let me get straight to the point, Edmi. Do you know what happened to her? She just ran into someone who claimed to be her mother, and then the woman suddenly started hysterically cursing at her. I thought it was strange, so I came to ask."

Yurxia: "Hey, you, are you finally going to attack a little girl? This is too much, you little girl lover."

Green: "Thanks for the compliment. Keep going."

Yurxia: "Hey, just kidding. Actually, in terms of her real age, Edmi has already reached adulthood. But you also know that most Nikkis will stay in the same appearance as they leave the factory for their entire lives. When she was made into a Nikki, she was probably about the same age as she looks now."

Yurxia: "Although it's not good to reveal other people's privacy, I'll tell you the truth this time. Edmi, like some of Nikki, suffers from severe psychological trauma."

Yurxia: "There are times when she would be troubled by her own name. Sometimes, she couldn't even sign her name on documents..."

Green: "Why?"

Yurxia: "Considering her privacy, I can't go into too much detail, but I can tell you that Edmi died trying to save her father. Luckily, she was transformed into Nikki and saved her life... I thought her father would continue to be proud of her, but that man eventually went crazy."

Yurxia: "Perhaps he couldn't accept that his daughter had become Nikki. He believed that Edmi wasn't his daughter at all, but just a monster in a metal shell disguised as a human. His real daughter had died in the accident long ago. Then, he severed his relationship with Edmi and abandoned her forever."

Yurxia: "So this is why Edmi suffers from psychological trauma."
