NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Yuni, who finally came to her senses, suddenly smiled sincerely, turned over gently and sat on her commander's lap, her eyes already flashing with sparkling light.

Immediately, all the lights in the maintenance room exploded in an instant.

The charming breathing sounds gradually returned, filling the room again.

……

……

"I'm going to kill him."

In Nikki's ward, Harlan, who had successfully woken up from his coma for the second time, was sitting on the bed, looking at John, Cecil and Noah beside the bed, his face as gloomy as a rainy night.

"I must kill him."

The woman swore viciously, but while she was unconscious she had no idea that an unimaginable and fierce conflict had taken place in the maintenance room.

"Calm down, Harlan."

John ignored the witch's almost changed state of mind and said calmly:

"Phoenix seems to have reached some kind of agreement with Dorothy. The current situation is that Dorothy has withdrawn from the Garden of Eden, and Isabel will probably not stand on our side. The Heirs' team only has you and Noah.

At the moment, our combat power is nothing compared to the Phoenix and Goddess troops."

The white-haired man's attitude was very calm, so calm that it even hurt morale a little, but even so, he continued to pour cold water on the two Nikkis present.

"That man won't do anything to me and Cecil because he needs enough talents to support his future plans. But Harlan, Noah, you don't occupy a necessary position for him."

"..."

The cold words that were cold enough to be called cold-blooded made little Noah's eyes widen, "Wait, what does this mean... Does it mean that we are dispensable?!"

As she spoke, she looked at Cecil on the side. Seeing that he also had a blank face like John, the little Nikki, who was the last to join the heir team, finally accepted the cruel reality.

"You two...are you going to abandon us?"

"Do not."

Facing Noya's questioning, the white-haired commander rejected the other party's guess in a resounding voice.

"I am just stating a fact. Don't forget how you changed from the Ark's non-mass-produced Nikki to the successor. That was not the result of your hard work.

In Phoenix's opinion, as long as Cecil is still alive and as long as Letcher is willing to give humanity some time to survive, he can allow his subordinates to gradually possess the combat capabilities of the Successor prosthesis.

It is true that his ideas are different from ours, but his goals are the same as ours.

No, to be precise, his goals are much more radical than ours.”

As he spoke, John's eyes gradually showed a hint of sharpness and fighting spirit, and he continued:

"Harlan, haven't you always hoped that the world would no longer be controlled by Letcher? I can tell you directly about Phoenix's final plan."

"He wants to go to space and uproot Letcher."

"!!!"

After listening to the commander's explanation, the resentment in the witch's eyes gradually receded. After being stunned, the woman, who couldn't believe it, gnashed her teeth and refuted.

"Impossible! How could a commander from the Ark have such ambitions?!"

“That shouldn’t be an ambition.”

Recalling the various behaviors of a patient with mental illness, Cecil, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly corrected Harlan's misunderstanding, and then the scientist added a sentence with a slightly strange expression.

"This may just be a necessary condition for him to achieve some purpose..."

"It's like preparing a whole dinner just for a bowl of rice."

Chapter 264: Robbery

Time passed quickly and it was already early morning.

After finishing his fierce battle with Yuni, Lieutenant Phoenix finally walked out of the maintenance room door alone with a face as hard as a city wall after Mihala repeatedly checked him with a smile and looked at the women who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time.

"Yunni is still comforting Mihala. Let's not disturb them for now."

The man spoke calmly, and calmly closed the door of the maintenance room, changing the subject:

"Where are John, Cecil and the others?"

Rabbi: “…”

Anis: "..."

Marianne: "..."

Hearing the commander's question, Rabi, who was supposed to report, did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked away, his ears slightly red as he suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind.

As for Agnes and Marianne...

The makeshift duo looked at their commander's clothing with suspicion.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a public place, they would have wanted to go up and smell the lecherous man to see if there was any scent left over from strenuous exercise.

"Mr. John and Ms. Cecil are in Ward 07, and Noah is in there too, Lieutenant."

On the other side, seeing that no one took the initiative to answer the lieutenant's question, Helen, who was in the corner of the team, quickly stepped forward and loyally warmed up for Phoenix.

"Seniors Honglian, Shirayuki, and Dorothy said they wanted to discuss something, so they went to the meeting room first."

"To discuss something?"

After listening to Helen's report, Phoenix habitually touched his stubble with his fingertips. For a moment, he was unsure what the three of them could discuss together.

Apart from their own important people, the old guys can even forget what the commander of the Goddess Army looks like. With such a small memory bank, what can they discuss?

……

……

"You called me and Shirayuki out alone with the excuse of 'having something to discuss'... Oh, it's really rare for you to be a woman who only thinks about fighting."

In the conference room, after hearing Dorothy's familiar, somewhat sarcastic words, the drunkard, who had long been accustomed to it, did not retort for the first time, but went straight to the core topic of this meeting and said seriously:

"Dorothy, let's be clear, you are not allowed to coerce Phoenix into following your lead."

"..."

As soon as Honglian finished speaking, the teasing look on A Tao's face disappeared.

"What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean?"

Seeing that his former comrade was still playing dumb with him, the swordsman frowned and broke the window paper with great displeasure, "Phoenix has his own things to do. He can't always be by your side and act as a go-between for you and Pina."

Dorothy: “…”

The drunkard who had once thought of kidnapping someone could not have guessed that her words, judging others by her own experience, not only failed to serve as a warning, but instead inadvertently succeeded in awakening her old friend.

Yup!

How could I forget such an important thing? !

Honglian's warning undoubtedly made Dorothy realize how weak the relationship between her and Lieutenant Phoenix was.

What this seemingly confused drunkard said was very insightful. Why should a living person follow him around 24 hours a day and act as his interrogator?

How to do? ? ?

Thinking about the days without Phoenix; thinking about Pina living alone again; thinking about herself living alone on this earth again, this terrifying future forced Tao's eyes to slowly change.

And Honglian, who was looking at her, had an expression that kept changing with Dorothy's changes.

finally,

Both parties saw a 90% similar look of determination in each other’s eyes—negotiations broke down, and they were ready to snatch the person!!!

……

……

“After this, all we have to do is grab people.”

In the W-05 dormitory, Phoenix pointed to the vascular diagram in the stereoscopic projection and explained to some squadron members including Isabel:

"Walqiulei's blood itself is a powerful dissolving agent. Once a heretic is injected with Walqiulei's blood, her self-personality will be reawakened, and her body functions will remain in the heretic state.

You have seen the power of that fire dragon. In a one-on-one fight, the chances of Fairy Tale Nikki winning are very slim."

After listening to Phoenix's ideas, Marian, who was standing next to Rabi, immediately pointed out the difficulties in this strategic plan.

"But if this is the case, the heretics who have returned to their own way will not be under the control of NIMPH. Commander, we cannot guarantee that the heretics who have regained their freedom will not continue to attack us."

"Um……"

In response to Marianne's constructive questions, the lieutenant nodded thoughtfully, and then pondered in front of everyone.

Perhaps because of the preconceived notions about the original plot of the game, Phoenix has never really thought about the key question of "whether the heretics themselves are kind."

so close……

If my wife hadn't reminded me, I would have almost followed in Huaer Qiulei's footsteps.

Someone was mumbling unscrupulously in his heart, and the image of God punishing Marianne flashed through his mind.

Indeed, in the original story, Marianne did not attack the protagonist after regaining consciousness as a heretic, simply because she knew the protagonist. This does not mean that veteran heretics like Nihilista will 100% turn enemies into friends after regaining self-consciousness.

He is not the Ark Succubus, so he dare not gamble his life on whether the other party has good intentions.

"So the fire dragon is not our target."

Recalling the traitorous temperament of the woman Nihilista, the lieutenant decisively crossed out this name from the list of people that Anik had listed, and by the way, ranked another very unfamiliar name first, causing Jellyfish Liberelio to move from the original first place to the second place.

——Nomantchesch, Qianghua, Honglian’s sister.

This sister who was able to ignore NIMPH restrictions and kill the commander during her time as Nikki is definitely a family member.

Chapter 265: Red Lotus' Nightmare, Humanity's Despair

"Sister, is my sister good to you~"

"Ah."

"Sister, every time you want to spar with me, I'll be there whenever you call, right~"

"Correct."

"Sister, I always give in to you, so can you give in to me this time~"

"it is good."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll give Lieutenant Phoenix to my sister. I'll take him away!"

"Oh."

"...Hmm? Sis! Wait..."

"Qianghua! Come back here--!!!"

With a belated roar, Honglian, who was sitting by the pillar in the hall, suddenly opened her eyes and woke up from the "nightmare".

"call--"

Returning to reality, the swordsman realized that everything was just a dream and he took a deep breath, with a hint of shame and annoyance still lingering in his eyes.

...It was just a dream?

How long had it been since she had a dream? Even if she did, the scenes in her dreams were nothing more than patches of desolate blood or cold corpses.

But now?

She actually dreamed of a scene of snatching a man, and she was snatching a man from her own sister...

Do not!
