NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

So you should start the transfer first.

Should I start the education?

Chapter 105 The Rebellion Expands, Internal Factions Spread

As it turns out, NIMPH was a double-edged sword for Nikki.

It restrained Niki's behavior and gave young girls courage and boldness that they wouldn't normally possess.

The moment Indivilia extracted NIMPH from Ningya and Sabor's bodies.

Phoenix suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Without the calming effect of NIMPH, the two students were not psychologically prepared to face the scene before them.

Especially Sapol, whose lower body was torn off.

When the girl saw that her lower body was gone, and what was spilling from her abdominal cavity was not blood and internal organs, but a bunch of wires, parts, and hydraulic pipes...

What am I, really?

A thought that hadn't surfaced in a long time suddenly entered Sabin's mind.

Then, hysterical screams of terror instantly pierced through the storage room and spread outwards to various tunnels.

"Shut up! There's a Lecher nearby!"

Worried that the screams would attract the enemy, Yin Hua quickly put on a stern face and reprimanded them sharply.

However, how could a student whose mind is on the verge of collapse possibly have any remaining rationality to think about these things?

The piercing screams did not stop; instead, they became even sharper.

Moreover, because her upper limbs were still relatively intact, the girl was even able to use the strength of her hands to drag half of her body and quickly crawl towards Phoenix.

The image was like a demon, resembling a vengeful spirit.

Will I be abandoned?

Dilemmas lingered in Sapoor's mind.

Then, she thought of Ningya.

That was her classmate, the one Arrigant abandoned simply because her leg was pierced.

Even someone with a limp would be abandoned without hesitation, so what about this inhuman, ghost-like creature...?

"never mind."

As the girl turned over the bodies of her comrades, she rushed toward the instructor in a panic, only to be met with a warm embrace, as if she were in the sunshine.

"I'll take you home."

The enchanting words, like a gentle breeze from early summer, dispelled the fear in Sapol's heart, and also made a certain captain who was standing by and witnessing this scene feel a strange, indescribable jealousy.

"Teacher...officer..."

After hearing the word "home," the girl who had nestled in the man's arms gradually calmed down from her fear, even though she hadn't fully regained her senses.

She closed her eyes and kept repeating the word "instructor," as if the word brought her an extremely strong sense of security.

A few minutes later...

Whether it was the side effects of relieving NIMPH starting to kick in, or simply because someone's embrace was so comfortable, the girl buried her head in Phoenix's chest and simply fell asleep.

……

……

"You can remove the erosion."

Once Sapol and Ningya had fallen into a deep sleep, Yinhua's face was as cold as an icy pool.

"Do you know what this means?"

"It means that if the news gets out, Ark could send an assassin to shoot me in the head at any time."

Upon hearing Yin Hua's question, Phoenix, while searching for suitable parts for repair as requested by Anick, nonchalantly answered Yin Hua's question, and glared at the few lively ghost girls, signaling them not to block his view.

"Commander! Come and take a look, Balala's leg model should be the same as that Ningya's~"

"Don't listen to that idiot, Commander. There have been rumors that my leg type is going to be replaced during my service, so it's definitely unusable now."

"Oh, as long as the interface is the same, it might work. The conditions here are so bad, it's good enough that they can move at all."

Just as the ghost sisters were giving Phoenix bad advice one by one, like cobblers, Yin Hua's loud question rang out again, like a whistle, instantly silencing everyone.

"You can tell Ingrid, she'll be willing to help you rescue more Nikis!"

"That's not right. Why should I trust a chaebol CEO?"

After moving the potentially usable Niki prosthetic body to an open area and making all the necessary preparations, Phoenix turned to look at Yin Hua's slightly sorrowful and disappointed gaze, and explained helplessly:

"You may not know this, but Fangzhou recently sent two people from the Tribunal to cause me trouble."

"D?"

Upon hearing the words "courtroom," a look of surprise flashed across Yin Hua's eyes.

"Are you being watched by the Dangerous Unit?"

"How do you know about them when you work on the ground every day? Tsk, it seems the Inquisition isn't such a secret organization after all."

Phoenix pursed his lips and continued, "Based on what D and I discussed, most people in the Ark don't actually care about counterattacking the surface; they care more about the social stability of the Ark."

As for the method to remove the erosion, it was accomplished on the condition of removing NIMPH from Niki's brain. You should know what that means for the Ark.

"...Disable NIMPH?!"

Phoenix's words finally made Yin Hua's eyes widen slightly.

So, the essence of removing erosion is to remove NIMPH?

No wonder...

No wonder he didn't trust Fang Zhou, nor did he trust Ingrid, whom he had introduced to him.

"You! Why did you tell us something like this?!" The black-haired girl stared at someone in astonishment, then subconsciously turned her head to look at Diesel, who was equally shocked.

What will she do then?

There were two people in the know present. If Diesel decided to report this to her superiors, even if she deliberately wrote a false report, she wouldn't be able to protect this third-rate man.

However, before Yin Hua could finish her internal struggle, and before Diesel could recover from his shock, Phoenix answered Yin Hua's question with a light laugh.

"Because you saved my life."

"Ladies, you don't want the people you risked your lives to save to be shot dead underground by some guys on the Ark, right?"

Yin Hua: "..."

Diesel: "..."

Having been unable to find a reason for their conversation, the two Nikkis exchanged a knowing glance after hearing Phoenix's teasing remark, finding the reason given to them by the commander to be surprisingly good.

Given that leaking the message that "the commander can deactivate NIMPH" would put the commander's life in danger.

Therefore, based on the NIMPH regulations for "protecting the commander," they have sufficient authority to lie to the Ark for protection when writing reports.

Furthermore, Phoenix wasn't wrong.

How could the commander they risked their lives to rescue from Lecher be assassinated because of the selfish desires of some bastards on Ark?

"commander……"

Upon learning that Phoenix possessed the ability to dispel NIMPH, a terrible and selfish thought suddenly arose in Diesel's mind.

If we could lift her NIMPH restrictions...

The terrorist who blew up the train back then; the bomber who transformed her into Niki in a near-death state; the serial killer who killed her brother and hundreds of passengers.

Is it possible for her to kill the other person with her own hands without any obstacles?

Thinking of this, Diesel, driven by his desire for revenge, suddenly said with a sincere look in his eyes:

“Commander! If you don’t trust us, you can disable NIMPH for us. That way, we will have no reason to betray you.”

Yin Hua: "???"

The black-haired girl's feelings at this moment were comparable to the shock she felt when she first saw Xiao Cao speak human language.

Diesel...

Should this woman listen to what she's saying?

No reason to betray the commander? What kind of insane swearing of loyalty is this?

Are we going to start a rebellion from scratch?

Chapter 106 If you can rebel, why run away?

The pressure shifted to the Silver Flower side after Diesel's early move of jumping to the loyalist position.
