NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Perhaps because of the difference in height on the stairs, she couldn't see Phoenix's face, so she assumed that the person pulling her from the bottom of the stairs was also a Niki.

"Concern leads to confusion~ Since it's a terrorist attack, how could the first shot possibly be fired at you, right?"

Taking advantage of the fact that Niki couldn't fire at other Niki without orders, Viper ignored Yuni, who was rushing up the stairs, and turned to fire a shot at the leader of the parade.

But then, just then...

"Yuni... shut down the target's central nervous system... cough cough!"

Snapped!

With clear instructions from the commander, the little girl with pigtails, her face flushed with anger, lashed out with her whip. An energy pulse that defied scientific explanation instantly paralyzed the snake's central nervous system.

"how come……"

With the device controlling his body malfunctioning, the venomous snake, unable to pull the trigger, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"...How could there be...a commander?"

As fellow subordinates of Shuen, she remembered clearly that Mihara and Yuni were never accompanied by a commander during missions.

That's why she thought of firing at the target first, rather than figuring out how to deal with these two opponents whose control abilities were almost unbeatable.

"Bad woman!"

Snapped!

Before the viper could even begin to talk back, a crisp, loud slapping sound rang out from her buttocks, and intense pain, mixed with an almost imperceptible, bizarre pleasure, swept through her mind.

Snapped! !

"Bad woman! She deserves to be hit!"

Hearing the pain in the commander's words, Yuni, nearly going berserk for failing to protect him, began to violently whip the fallen Sweetie.

The rhythmic crack of the whip spread across the virtual sky.

It's a pity that such beautiful and melodious sounds were mercilessly drowned out by the chaotic shouts and cries of the marchers downstairs.

clap clap clap! ! !

"Hiss... Yuni... no... ugh!... stop hitting... Yuni..."

Even with the pain sensors turned off, the incredibly real pain still coursed through the snake's brain, causing her to twitch her already paralyzed fingers.

"I……"

"You wicked woman!!!"

*Smack!*

After Yuni unleashed her full power with a whip, the excruciating pain, comparable to a thousand ants gnawing at the heart, transformed into a raging tsunami, successfully shattering the snake's mental barrier and causing it to faint.

"No... cough, don't kill him, Yuni."

Mihara and Warren carried him down the stairs to the rooftop, and Phoenix quickly stopped Yuni's impending "corpse-whipping" ritual, saying:

“Take off her robe, let me see who it is.”

"Ow."

Yuni pouted reluctantly, then squatted down and ripped off the bad woman's coat and robe, leaving only her fairly well-covered white underwear on her body.

"Tsk."

Upon seeing the venomous snake's fair, alabaster-like face appear before him, the man immediately wore an expression of "as expected."

“Strip her naked except for the fabric.”

Oh right, remember to check if she has any stun grenades on her; I confiscated those.

As for people...

Carry it away.

Chapter Forty-Six: Signs of a Slippage in Ideology

We didn't get to eat the meal we were supposed to have.

They did manage to bring back an extra woman.

A woman with a miniature remote-controlled bomb strapped to her neck by Shuen.

A woman who enjoys causing trouble in the outer perimeter of the game with "Ark People's Dislike," and stabbing each other in the back.

A woman who was bound up by Yuni in various unorthodox and elaborate ways.

"I ask, you answer, any questions?"

On the sofa stool opposite the foot of the bed, Phoenix sat imposingly, gazing calmly at the woman bound in an indescribable manner, and said:

"Last night, the mass-produced Niki sent me a message with two names in it: Patwin and Kurt. Tell me more about these two people."

Upon hearing Phoenix's question, Viper, who had already resigned himself to his fate before falling unconscious, immediately put on a pitiful expression.

"If they knew their specific information, they would have told you already. After all, the faster you kill them, the more beneficial it is to my plan."

Who is Patwin?

If it weren't for the fact that Yuni and Mihara's NIMPH hadn't been removed, allowing the Central Government to forcibly perform a memory scan on them, Phoenix would really want to call Yuni in to help right now.

He asked while smoking.

It's not that he's a pervert, but rather that Yuni's skill in whipping people is such that she can whip them until they faint from the pain without causing physical harm. She's practically a born interrogation expert.

"Tell me what you know, and I'll definitely let you go, as a thank you for not killing me last night."

"Okay~"

The wicked woman, for reasons unknown, blushed instantly after hearing Phoenix's words, her pretty face turning as red as a tempting apple, and she responded shyly:

"If we name the smuggling chain through which Watson sold Niki the first chain, and the first chain hangs from top to bottom, then the higher up it goes, the closer it is to the source."

So Patwin is the name that can be found at the very top of the chain.

As for Kurt, well, I've already told you, he's a black market dealer who can get a batch of Niki's combat records in about half a month.

However, he's not the only one selling them; it's just that he sells in larger quantities and has access to a wider variety of goods.

Asking him for questions is definitely the right thing to do.

"..."

Phoenix is ​​a seasoned expert in the art of "chatting," so how could he not tell that Viper's explanation actually revealed no information at all?

So, someone who lacked patience immediately shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Yuni—! Come in!!!"

"Commander! Yuni is here! Yuni is here!"

Outside the door, Yuni, who had been waiting impatiently, burst open the door with a bang after hearing the faint shouts of the commander coming from inside. Her big eyes sparkled as she excitedly asked:

"Is the Commander going to have Yuni beat up this wicked woman?!"

"Ah."

Phoenix stood up, walked towards the door, and replied without turning his head: "You can have five minutes of fun. Don't pay attention to what she says. Just have the full five minutes, as long as you don't knock her out."

"Eh???"

Before Yuni could even agree, Viper, realizing something was amiss, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Wait... wait a minute, Commander. What do you want to know? Just ask me, and I'll tell you everything, okay?"

To everyone's surprise, the man completely ignored the sweet girl lying on the bed and instead smiled and ruffled Yuni's hair.

"Let's start timing from your first lash. I'm too lazy to keep track, Yuni can keep track herself."

"Um!!!"

Click.

With the twin-tailed loli's obedient reply, the door was gently closed by the Commander.

Yuni was left alone, sticking out her tongue, impatiently taking off her shoes and stepping barefoot onto the commander's bed, looking down at the wicked woman with a pale face.

"Hehe~ Don't be afraid, the commander said that Yuni can't knock you out this time."

"..."

Watching Yuni eagerly pull on both ends of the whip, making it crackle loudly.

The venomous snake did not understand.

The venomous snake did not understand.

Why is that commander not playing by the rules?

She had already indicated her willingness to provide clues. Logically, the standard procedure at this point should be to ask a few questions first.
