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

"You'd better keep your voice down, maybe someone can hear you."

After the two men whispered for a while, they hurriedly got up and left.

Green sat aside and listened to their conversation. He thought thoughtfully for a while, then started walking again in the Ark.

Before he knew it, he had somehow found himself in the rehabilitation center.

Since they were already at the door, Green went in and visited his old friends.

Yuni's mood has been relatively good and stable recently. She has also been doing various volunteer activities with Green. Ark has not issued an order to scrap her for the time being because of her special abilities.

If I just want to get out of prison, it will probably take a long time.

Even for serious criminals like Gilti, only a few people's arms were broken, and there were not many casualties.

But what Yuni did directly led to the deaths of many people on the Ark.

The crimes of the two are obviously incomparable.

After checking on Yuni's condition, Green came to the door of Krau's cell again.

Time has passed, and now I am back here again. I don’t know if Krau collapsed during the brain experiment.

not at all.

As soon as Green pushed open the door, he saw Krau, dressed in prison clothes, comfortably nestled in her chair, staring intently at the superhero movie playing on the wall.

She was watching intently, but she also noticed Green's arrival.

"Well, this is really strange. I thought you would never come back to see me again, but I didn't expect you to come anyway."

Krau pressed the remote control and paused the movie he was watching. "You're not here to entertain me again this time, are you? I don't think you're such a boring guy."

"I was just walking around to relax, and ended up at the rehabilitation center."

Green explained casually.

"Really? But I don't think you look like the type to relax."

Krau grinned and continued, "I guess you have something bothering you, so you thought of coming to me."

"Don't deny it. You did think of me first, right? Although I'm not a good person, I see the Ark more clearly than anyone else. Its true face, its system, its thinking, no one understands the Ark better than me. That's why you wanted to come to me and get an answer from me."

Krau stared at Green's face for a long moment before extending his hand. "Do you have any cigarettes? I prefer mint-flavored women's cigarettes. I don't smoke those because they're too pungent."

Green shook his head: "I don't smoke. Even if I had any, I wouldn't give them to you."

Krau nodded and said, "It's okay. You can ask the prison guard outside for a pack. I specially ordered it through a special channel yesterday."

"Then you're really doing well in the rehabilitation center."

"Don't forget, I've been wandering since I was a kid. This is just a piece of cake for me."

Krau shrugged and said, "As for where I got the stuff, don't ask. It won't do any harm. It will only make the prison guards at the gate dislike you even more. After all, they need to make some extra money too."

"..."

"Here, your cigarette."

Green walked out the door, asked the prison guard for a pack of cigarettes that Krau had ordered, and then threw it into her hand.

Krau held the pack of cigarettes in his hand and smiled, a rare smile: "Thank you for your help. Although I can go and get it myself, it is better to use your name. Also, don't think that things in the rehabilitation center are easy to get. I also need to be familiar with this place to get a pack of cigarettes."

"For ordinary prisoners, having a pair of shoes is their most valuable asset."

"..."

"Then let's get to the point. I actually know why you came to see me."

Krau paused, then said, "I thought Ark would make a choice after Letcher's attack, improve Nikki's treatment, and provide them with more help, but I still underestimated Ark."

"It seems some people are determined not to let Nikki go on stage."

"But so what? These scoundrels can't shake you. They are destined to be crushed by the wheels of history."

Krau sarcastically said, "I believe that one day, Nikki will replace human existence, and you are the key to opening that new world."

"As for why..."

"Because this time, all the humans on the Ark have witnessed Letcher firsthand. Although most of them are still indifferent, their nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm means they will always need the Commander and Nikki's help. So you just need to persevere."

"As long as you stand on Nikki's side, you are doomed to be invincible in this struggle between races and groups."

"So, don't let me down, my hero. Please, just like in the movies, bring a little hope to this cruel world. How about that?"

Chapter 278 Krau and the Hero Movie.

"Hmph, Krau, you make it sound so easy."

Green shook his head, a helpless look on his face: "If only everything in this world were that simple."

"You've done so many impossible things, and now you're feeling dejected?"

Krau shrugged. She took a cigarette from her case, put it between her lips, and said nonchalantly, "Don't be discouraged, hero. Although you and I, one is a commander hailed as the new generation's morning star, and the other is a desperate outlaw in a rehabilitation center, we still have many similarities."

“Like, there’s no way out.”

"The central government fears you, the chaebols want to exploit you, the Nikkis worship you as the savior of the new era, and the general public, while in awe of you, also gnashes their teeth at you, fearing that one day you'll bring a group of Nikkis back to bite humanity."

"So, from the moment you stood by Nikki and vowed to liberate them, did you think you had any way out? No, you're either being hailed as a god or falling into the abyss. There's no turning back in this world."

"Of course, if you want, you can. Whether it's being a company slave or a government lackey, you can indeed choose these more stable paths, but the question is... are you willing to do that?"

Krau paused.

A rare glimmer of reminiscence flickered through her dark eyes. Although she didn't know what past a lawless outlaw could possibly have worth recalling, she continued to mutter to herself, "In the past, I've done many dirty things. The masters aboard the Ark would occasionally give you disgusting missions like human trafficking and organ transplants. The dark side of the Ark is definitely darker and deeper than you can imagine."

"That's why I don't trust anyone."

"Whether it's a company or the government, no matter what system it is, they're all ultimately demons that eat without leaving any bones behind. The only difference is their eating habits. One never hides the fact that they're wolfing down their food, while the other wants to eat but pretends to be righteous."

"And the people living under the control of corporations and governments are all silent lambs to be slaughtered and mindless puppets. Only you are different. Despite your humble origins, you stand firm and are willing to stand by the vulnerable, even if it means turning the entire Ark against you. This is your unique charm, and it's something I desperately want to see."

"I believe that's what makes a hero."

“So, you should also believe in yourself.”

"Don't be lost. As long as you continue to stand by Nikki and slowly expand your team, sooner or later, the entire Ark will be yours."

At this point, Krau smiled proudly.

She had lived in the Ark for so long that she had long lost interest in this stagnant existence. At least ever since she was made into Nikki, humans had always oppressed her, and there were always so many problems, but no one had ever thought of solving them.

Krau had long been tired of the stupid people, the arrogant Ark, the many numb Nikkis, and the wanderers in the Outer Rim.

If she had the power to destroy the entire Ark, she would have burned it down without hesitation, wiping out all the evil. But now, she had found something more meaningful: watching it being conquered and transformed bit by bit by the man before her, until one day it would reveal a brand new look.

Krau was immersed in his own aspirations.

Green seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly asked, "I always feel that although you have no bottom line in doing things, you always like to use extremely high moral standards to demand others. Do you know that this is very annoying?"

"Really?... Now that I think about it, I'm really annoying."

Krau closed his eyes and silently took a long drag on his cigarette. "In your eyes, I think I'm just a lawless, evil desperado who completely lacks empathy and humanity, right?"

"But it's precisely because of someone like me who has no bottom line that I can survive in a place like Ark."

"Because this shitty society will only produce a bunch of scum like me, your boss, and the Ark executives. And people like us, do you know what we think about every day?"

Krau smiled humorously and said, "1. How to make Nikki always obey humans."

"2. How to exploit Nikki to take advantage of their long lifespan."

"3. How to make the people and Nikki hostile to each other."

"4. How to make Nikki fade out of human sight to prevent ordinary people from having too much contact with them."

"5. How to achieve long-term rule through Nikki based on the above four points."

"If you dig into the minds of those so-called elites, you'll find nothing more than these five things. Everyone wants to squeeze something out of Nikki that they can use for their own benefit. But you, alone, cast aside your position, interests, and fears, and stand by them without hesitation."

"If I had met you earlier, do you think I would have become as blindly optimistic as those girls around you?"

Krau closed her eyes. For some reason, Green always felt that her expression looked a little sad when she said this.

Do terrorists also miss their former selves?

Maybe.

But no matter what expression she showed, Green would not completely believe her.

"I don't think you're the type to miss the past."

Green smiled and poked her with his words: "Instead of reminiscing about the past, why not live honestly in the present? Maybe I can even apply for a sentence reduction for you."

"Humph, commutation of sentence is impossible."

"At least before the Ark collapses, a serious criminal like me will have absolutely no chance of being released from prison."

Krau snorted lightly, then grinned and said, "But do you think I'll really just be content with the status quo? As long as the Ark still has use for me, I'll get out one day."

"In that case, I'll have to arrest you again, Clau."

Green said.

"Okay, then you have to remember, next time you pinch me, please don't be so hard. I prefer men who are gentler."

Krau smiled and flirted with him instead: "Although I don't really want to ask about your private life, even the prison guards at the rehabilitation center say you have at least a dozen girlfriends. You're always hanging around with different women, and you have to deal with all these people with different personalities. Isn't that tiring?"

"Not tired."

"What?"

"Because I like them."

Green said calmly, "And one day, I am destined to openly start a harem. This is my dream, and I think most men in this world are like me. As for those who don't want to start a harem, either there's something wrong with their big head or their small head."

"Speaking to you like this in front of you, does it make you feel like my image has collapsed?"

"Oh, no."

Krau shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own desires. I actually like your honesty. However, can your frail body really withstand so much torture from Nikki?"

"In a few years, I reckon you'll be drained dry."

"..."

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm still quite healthy."

The two people sitting opposite each other were silent for a while.

Krau, however, stuffed the videotape on the table into the projector in the cell.

"Since you're here, why not watch a movie with me?"

"Anyway, I see you don't look like you have anything to do."

Krau collapsed on the sofa and casually extended an invitation: "It's up to you whether you want to watch it or not. If you don't want to watch it, I'll be alone."

"Where did you get all this equipment?"

"It was given to me by the people at the rehabilitation center. They thought I was too bored and worried I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure and commit suicide, so they granted some of my requests."

"I'm going to start."

The projector fell on the wall, reflecting a bland superhero movie.

People who don't know Krau, just based on her appearance, might think that she likes niche movies that focus on female values, but on the contrary, her favorite movies in her life are heroic movies, and she rarely watches those movies that convey values in a messy way.

Even if it's not very nutritious, she just likes to watch the heroic story of the movie protagonist who bravely moves forward and finally saves the world, with some explosions along the way, and picks up a few beautiful women, and finally ends perfectly with the credits.

"Klau, you still like watching these meaningless popcorn hero movies like before."

Green looked at it for a while and then complained.

"How can I say that the type of movies I like to watch are not nutritious? I am just enjoying myself, enjoying the pleasure of watching movies."

Krau shook his head and smiled, saying, "Although everyone is tired of heroic movies, in this era, a heroic movie that is completely free of any selfish sentiment is very rare."

"My ideal superhero movie has the following plot: explosions, difficult situations, a hero saving a beautiful girl, a crucial moment of sudden death to save the world, and important supporting characters must not die, leaving no regrets. In addition, the men must be handsome and the women must be beautiful. If the ending is a romantic kiss between the two, I will give the movie an extra 50 points."

"Sounds like it would be easy to find a whole bunch of movies with similar plots."

Green shrugged and said casually.
