NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

"If I were to show you another possibility for the future now..."

"And what will you choose?"

In Yursha's private bedroom, a house where the woman herself never spends more than ten days a year, W-02048 is holding up her phone, showing her what she desires.

This is a video.

A video that tells the tragic story of Niki's blood and tears; a video that records someone's life; a video that is extremely meticulous in every detail, from the background music and narration to the rhythm and the script.

Everything about it was great, and it was extremely provocative, except for the fact that the video included his profile, back view, and close-ups of his eyes, which made Phoenix feel a little uneasy.

To find yourself part of the drama after watching it all... that's a bit too much of a surprise.

The emotional venomous snake has infiltrated the lower levels of the Ark to such a terrifying extent that any mass-produced Niki you randomly encounter on the street is a loyal follower of the Phoenix.

"Aren't you sure there won't be any problems if you distribute these kinds of videos on your phones in private?"

The lieutenant didn't dare to meet Nikki's bright, sparkling eyes for too long, awkwardly changing the subject and no longer discussing the video itself.

"no problem."

W-02048's response was remarkably decisive.

"Aside from a very few individuals like Niki who clearly expressed resentment, everyone else in our campaign must have at least eighteen months of experience to be eligible to access the videos."

The video format requires special software to decode, and the software's startup password is one-time use only; it is automatically destroyed after playback.

Most importantly, we know that if the video is leaked, the commander's life will be in danger..."

As he spoke, W-02048's gaze became more determined, and his tone became more excited.

"According to Niki's Code..."

Protecting the commander's life is Niki's highest priority.

We did not violate the Niki Code.

Chapter 318 I'll meet your lover again tomorrow

For Yursha, working overtime is like drinking water; it's something she has to do every day.

There was nothing Privati ​​could do to help her, and Edmi had psychological issues. Due to the confidentiality agreement regarding Nikki's identity with the central government, she dared not delegate authority to her subordinates.

After all, the anti-Nikki sentiment had been prevalent in the Ark for decades, and most members of the Triangle Force, like the citizens of the Ark, had grown up in an environment where they disliked Nikki.

As the saying goes, you can't see into someone's heart. Yulsha wasn't confident he could find a single human among his three or four hundred subordinates who truly stood by Niki's side.

Rather than gambling on that slim probability, it would be more appropriate for her to reduce her sleep time and handle all matters herself.

"Would you like me to introduce you to a few Nikkis to help you? Like Maruchana from MMR High School, my adjutant Lapi, and my two top students. They are all capable and intelligent. With proper training, they will soon be competent as your political deputies."

With Anick in charge of cooperating, Phoenix helped Yulsha review documents at lightning speed while also trying to promote his subordinates, which shocked the woman and made her roll her eyes repeatedly.

"You really don't shy away from appearances, introducing your subordinates to me to learn how to handle government affairs. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were planning to build a team to rebel."

Snapped.

As soon as Yursha finished speaking, the lieutenant tossed three categorized reports onto her desk one by one. From left to right, they read "Can be signed," "Requires second review," and "Return directly."

Based on the experience of the captain of the Triangle Unit, it would take her at least four hours to review such a thick stack of reports by herself.

As it turned out, this guy acted like a scanner, finishing the preliminary review in less than half an hour...

"Tsk, could you please stop messing with my files?"

Ms. Shark Tooth curled her lip in dissatisfaction, picked up the document on the far right that could be returned directly, and was about to put it on top of the second-instance document in the center when the report on the top layer forced her to slow down, frown, and begin to browse it.

Yes, it is indeed a supply request report that does not comply with Ark policy and can be rejected without any consideration.

……coincide?

While puzzled, Yursha decisively snapped his thumb, splitting the stack of papers in two on the spot, and randomly selected the document in the middle.

Return...

Return...

Or send it back...

After reviewing three reports of varying thicknesses and arriving at the same conclusion, the woman finally couldn't help but slightly raise her head, giving the man a strange look. Then she put the documents back in their place and picked up the ones on the left that she could sign immediately, and began to peruse them...

So, after more than half an hour had passed, Ms. Yursha, who had been engrossed in her examination, suddenly said in a low voice:

Are you free tonight?

"Yes, I also need to go to MMR Affiliated High School."

Phoenix answered casually. In his eyes, although Yulsha had never left NIMPH and knew nothing about his entrepreneurial plans, they had been through thick and thin together...

"Go see your lover tomorrow, stay tonight."

"?"

Without giving the lieutenant even a second to refuse, Ms. Shark Tooth, who had once helped him dispose of a body and cover up the evidence, immediately bent down, picked up a stack of documents from the floor beside the table leg—a stack that was half a knee high—and said bluntly:

"Since you've come all this way, why don't you help me get rid of these too?"

Someone: "..."

……

Night is deep.

Even with the assistance of artificial intelligence, the mountain of documents still forced the two people in the room to review them until the wee hours of the morning.

There are only four hours left until the artificial canopy lights up.

After three days and two nights, Phoenix, who had accumulated no more than eight hours of sleep, sat casually on the sofa, silently gazing at Yulsha, who was fast asleep on the table.

How long has this woman not slept?

Can that loud crash where someone bangs their head on the table really be called falling asleep?

It would be more accurate to describe it as fainting on the spot.

The man grumbled inwardly as he forced himself to stay up all night, succumbing to his exhaustion. He knew very well that for someone like Yulsha, who suffered from prolonged sleep deprivation, it was best to sleep until he naturally woke up. Any disturbance during that time would put him in a painful state of "spiritual separation."

He experienced that tormenting feeling quite a bit. To put it simply, it was like having unsteady steps, fragmented thoughts, and if you weren't careful while walking, you would swerve to one side and then bump your forehead against a pole.

Therefore, out of concern for his friend, Phoenix thought it would be better to secretly lock the door from the inside, turn off the ringtone and notifications, confiscate the other party's phone, and then endure another ten hours. During this time, he would have Farin lead a few ghost girls to wander around the Triangle Force base and inquire about information.

If there's nothing urgent to handle, just close the door and let their leaders get a good night's sleep.

The lieutenant decided that he would wait until the woman had had enough sleep before heading to his basement at MMR High School to catch up on his own sleep.
