NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Chapter 260 I Don't Need Explanation

Pina's ghost state is very special.

After repeated confirmation, Phoenix believes that the biggest difference between Pina and the ghost sisters in the Ark is that she seems to be some kind of "earth" bound spirit.

The only difference is that the earthbound spirits were bound to a certain area, while Pina was bound to Dorothy.

After all, ghosts also have a movement speed. Farin and others who often followed the lieutenant were separated from the lieutenant because of Isabel's sudden intervention.

Regarding the conjecture proposed by Phoenix, Honglian, who was also accompanied by comrades, quickly found a set of counterexamples.

"Then how do I explain Falin and the others? According to what you said, I also break through the sound barrier from time to time. Are Falin and the others also bound spirits?"

"Pina said that she could feel that she could break free from the bond between her and Miss Dorothy at any time." The lieutenant looked at the three ghost Nikkis beside Honglian and said thoughtfully:

“Falin should have also been in the state of being bound spirits at that time, but they chose to separate a few people to untie you, and then stayed with me to help me organize and arrange other ghost Nikki.

And it is very likely that after being freed from the bondage, it will be impossible to become a bondage spirit again."

Phoenix's well-reasoned speculation made Tao's originally joyful expression suddenly return to seriousness.

"If it's true... No, the cost of trying this experiment is too high. Pina, no matter what happens, you can't unbind me from the spirit!"

Hearing Lady Dorothy's overbearing order, Pina in ghost state scratched her head at the lieutenant and others in embarrassment, "Um... Lady Dorothy was not like this before. She is just more sensitive about certain things."

"Pina said she would never take the initiative to separate from you."

Someone who was already a full-level translator helped the female warrior to express her true feelings, causing Dorothy and Pina to blush at the same time.

The former is out of satisfaction, while the latter... seems a little overwhelmed?

"Please, please don't say such ambiguous words, Lieutenant!"

Sister Piao was so anxious that she waved her hands repeatedly and clarified:

"Lady Dorothy and I don't have that kind of relationship! I really hope that Lady Dorothy can get her happiness in the future!"

Ok?

No doubt, Pina's explanation came as a surprise to Phoenix.

In his previous life, he had personally witnessed the kind of friendship between female besties that was almost lesbian, but not at all, and was difficult for men to understand and imitate.

Just like most women cannot understand how two young men with a very close relationship could be so bored that they would attack each other's genitals.

This is purely a generation gap caused by gender differences. Of course, except for those women who like to touch breasts.

"I didn't say you and Dorothy were in that kind of relationship."

The man's subconscious answer succeeded in silencing the three ladies who were originally chatting in the hall.

Oh no, to be precise, there should be two ladies, not including Bai Xue who can't understand what people say.

……

silence……

Still silent...

Just as Honglian's eyes were looking at Dorothy in a weird way, and Tao was about to announce to everyone present that her sexual orientation was completely normal, a short man dressed tightly suddenly rushed in from the side door on the west side of the hall.

"Captain! It's bad! Harlan was knocked unconscious!"

The little girl's tone was anxious, but looking at her excited expression, it seemed that she didn't feel any indignation at all after her teammate was beaten.

Not only that, Dorothy, the captain of the successor army, did not show much emotion when she heard that Harlan was knocked unconscious. She even had a hint of mockery in her expression as if to say "he deserves it".

"Besides me, is there anyone else in the Garden of Eden who can knock her out?" asked Ah Tao.

And Noah answered decisively, "I don't know the specific situation, but it's a non-mass-produced Nikki named Yuni."

Yuni?

Hearing the dwarf's words, Phoenix turned his upper body in surprise, sat sideways on the sofa and looked at Noah, secretly surprised at Yuni's extraordinary fighting ability against Nikki.

However, before the lieutenant could digest his surprise, he heard Noah add another sentence.

"Oh yeah, not only Harlan fainted, but Nikki, whose leg was broken, also fainted..."

Swah——

Unexpectedly, before the dwarf could even utter the word "upside down", Lieutenant Phoenix, who was sitting lazily, suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

"Where are the people?! Where are they!!!"

……

……

Eden Nikki maintenance room.

Cecil gave her diagnosis while constantly adjusting the brain perspective on the 3D screen.

"Harlan's brain discharge frequency is somewhat disordered, but his prosthesis is fine."

"Mihala's brain was not damaged, but her right lower leg was broken."

After hearing these two sentences, everyone waiting in the maintenance room breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, even John and Dorothy were not spared.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Holding the aggrieved Yuni in his arms, Phoenix touched the girl's head with his hand and comforted her patiently.

Such an unrestrained and intimate behavior really attracted Dorothy, Honglian, Shirayuki and others to glance at them frequently.

On the other hand, as the commander of the witches, John closed his eyes with a headache. He knew that Harlan had a very bad character and that this matter was probably initiated by Harlan. Therefore, the white-haired man finally made up his mind and took the initiative to give in.

"I'll give you an explanation, Phoenix."

"I don't need an explanation."

Unexpectedly, the black-haired man rejected the other party's kindness and concession without thinking. He gently stroked Yuni's back and gave the result he wanted word by word.

"When she wakes up I'm going to break one of her legs."

Chapter 261: Reasoning

When the lieutenant said he was going to break Harlan's leg,

Dorothy, John, and Cecil, who were still in shock, realized a fact that they had inadvertently overlooked.

——The Ark has a population of tens of millions, why did Phoenix catch their ears?

This is because the name was created by soaking thousands of Letchers and hundreds of lives.

"calm down."

John habitually took off his commander's cap and tried to dissuade him, "Phoenix, we are still allies now. Your request is a bit unreasonable."

On the other side, Cecil, who was about to go to the operating table, tried to smooth things over for the first time.

"Second Lieutenant, this is the first time we are all working together, so conflicts are inevitable."

The two of them sang the same tune, but Dorothy, who should have spoken, did not express her attitude.

She just stared quietly, staring into Phoenix's green eyes that exuded a murderous aura, wanting to see how far this man could go for his Nikki.

Should I fight for my rights or demand compensation?

"Did you make a mistake?"

Glancing at Cecil who was about to start reconstructive surgery in the distance, Phoenix hugged Yuni, half-closed his eyes, and turned his gaze back to John.

Then, the man slowly uttered an answer that was enough to make the hearts of the people in the Garden of Eden shrink.

"Because we are allies, I only want one of her legs."

……

The situation was on the verge of being out of control or just right because of the lieutenant's words.

John looked at Phoenix silently and calmly. From his unmoved expression, it was clear that the Morning Star had rejected the Killer Star's proposal.

He is also a Nikki commander. Even though he advocates that both the cyborg and Nikki are war machines, he must admit that

——Nikki is motivated.

As a leader, John cannot so casually hand over the handling of his subordinates who have made mistakes to others.

If he did that, it would be a severe blow to the prestige he had built up over the years.

"What are you going to do if I say no?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it's more than just one leg."

The conversation between the two men ended there.

Then, Honglian's right hand reached for the hilt of the knife at the back of her waist, and Youni reluctantly left the commander's embrace and picked up the whip indifferently.

The two Nikkis' unpretentious preparations for battle frightened Noah so much that he opened his eyes wide. He saw her frantically controlling her floating shield and said in horror:

"Wait, wait! Are you really going to fight here?!"

The little girl, who had never seen such a scene before, screamed nervously and looked at her captain for help...

However, what she did not expect was that her arrogant captain actually took a half step back in front of everyone, pretending to remain neutral.

"Dorothy, are you planning to break our agreement?"

The moment A Tao made her attitude clear, John and Cecil, who had always been expressionless, finally showed surprise at this moment.

There are four heirs in total, of which Harlan is still in a coma. Isabel, a paranoid person, is likely to choose to stand on the side of her "husband", and the fairy-tale-like Nikki Dorothy has chosen to withdraw...

In a blink of an eye, how much combat power can be counted in such a huge Garden of Eden?

——Noah is the only one left.

"Dorothy, are you planning to betray us?"

At this moment, Cecil's face was several times uglier than when she was chased by Letcher. She could never have imagined that the man brought by Isabel could take away her Garden of Eden that she had worked so hard to build at any time in just one afternoon and one night.

"betray?"

Hearing Cecil's accusation, Tao, who had originally just wanted to remain neutral, was suddenly stunned. Immediately, a dark and twisted aura crept up on her delicate facial features.

"Are you qualified to talk about betrayal with me? I don't remember ever gaining any benefit from the Garden of Eden. I only remember that I saved you from the fire dragon Nihilista at least three times.

What qualifications do you have to talk to me about betrayal?

remember!

Cecil, I am only in a cooperative relationship with you. As for the original agreement...ha, according to human evil habits, isn't the agreement meant to be torn up?"

It must be said that the two genius scientists in the maintenance room are evenly matched in terms of rhetoric. Bai Xue can break the defense of a comrade with just one sentence, and Cecil's question can make an ally turn against him in the face of danger.

"So you can make a decision now?"

After confirming the current situation, Phoenix interrupted and took out the revolver from his waist, put his thumb on the gun safety, and said:

"One leg, or the whole Garden of Eden. Your choice."

"You! How can you be so unreasonable!"

Seeing that this man was determined to take revenge on Harlan, the inexperienced Noah's face turned red and he spoke out in indignation.

"We clearly don't know how the fight between Harlan and your Nikki started. Why are you so sure that Harlan was the first to start the fight?!"

"Does it matter who strikes first?"

The lieutenant said, raising his hand and pointing the gun at Harlan's right leg, his eyes full of confusion.

"I didn't say I wanted to reason with you."

Chapter 262 I suggest that your lieutenant go see a psychiatrist when he has time.

Harlan wakes up.

Logically speaking, she felt the strongest pain, so Mihara should be the first to wake up.

But helplessly, under the tyranny of Phoenix, Cecil had no choice but to awaken her brain first, forcing the witch to open her eyes in a daze.
