Just a few minutes after 9S and 2B were running on the rails, they suddenly slowed down at the same time.

It's not that they've reached their destination, 9S reckon they'll have to run for another minute or so to get to the rendezvous with Enrique, but before they can do so, they'll have to deal with the guy who got in their way.

"Sizzle~"

More than a hundred meters in front of 9S, a huge monster was standing on the railroad tracks, its back to the two of them, its body was trembling, and it did not notice the arrival of itself and 2B.

'It's this...... It's really fine......

9S sighed inwardly, and through the moonlight leaking through the gap in the dark clouds, he could clearly see the appearance of the monster - it was a scorpion whose body had been magnified a hundred times.

"Bell Bell ~ Bell Bell ~"

As 9S and 2B got closer and closer, the scorpion finally sensed their presence, and slowly turned its body around with the crisp sound of the eight thick scorpion legs stepping on the rails.

"2B, stone it."

"Understood."

2B nodded, his hands gripping the hilt of Hakuno's sword behind his back.

"Ha~"

2B's right foot slammed heavily on the track, and the rails let out a groan of pain, and there was a very obvious dent where 2B had stepped on.

"Woo ——!"

After leaving 2B's hands, Bai Zhiyi flew out at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and the short distance of dozens of meters between it and the scorpion was fleeting, and the tip of the big sword collided with the scorpion's back armor.

Although the scorpion's body is a body strengthened by the T-virus, it is still far inferior to the high-quality greatsword produced by Nier World, and the pure white greatsword easily pierces the scorpion's body, nailing it to the railroad rails

"Sizzle——!"

The scorpion let out a terrible scream, and began to flank its eight legs frantically, struggling to get to its feet, but the pain from the fatal wound on its back made its attempts useless.

"Woohoo—"

A few seconds later, 9S and 2B came to the scorpion's side, looking at the scorpion that was still struggling desperately, 9S pulled out ebony and white ivory, and the bullets from both guns poured all over the face of the scorpion.

After draining all the bullets in the magazine, the scorpion finally quieted down, and the tail that had been the most lethal of the scorpion was now falling limply on its own back, and the hook full of poison about the size of an adult's head did not come in handy at all.

"Let's go on, we'll be there for a little more than a minute."

9S looked at the dozen or so bullet holes on the scorpion's face with green liquid, calmly removed the ebony and white ivory magazines in his hand, and replaced them with two new ones, this scorpion may indeed be a more dangerous enemy for humans, but it is not very powerful for androids - the combat power should be about the same as that of medium-sized robots in the world of three or four Nier, right?

"Hmmm......"

2B walked towards the scorpion's corpse, stepped on the scorpion's back, and pulled out the white agreement.

"Let's go, Little 9."

Shaking his greatsword vigorously, and after shaking off the green blood on it, 2B put the white promise back on his back and said to 9S.

"Dada~"

The two of them walked around the scorpion's corpse and stepped on the track to move on.

A minute later

"You...... It's the guy on the phone?! ”

Rebecca's right hand trembled and pointed at 9S and said, her face was full of incredulity, she didn't expect that the owner of the voice on the walkie-talkie was really a little boy!

'No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary brother and sister, except for the strange hair color......

Rebecca looked at 9S and 2B, who looked like a pair of siblings standing on the railroad tracks, and secretly thought to herself that she had just made up a lot of various conspiracies through the effect of the T virus that 9S said...... As a result, you told her that it was the siblings in front of her who did it?!

Okay, the big bosses behind the scenes are generally gloomy-looking? And all day long with an expression that the whole world owes him money...... Could it be that this type of villain is in vogue right now? Rebecca begins to wonder if it's because she hasn't been to the movies for too long.

"Well, it's me, Edward?"

9S didn't know what Rebecca was thinking, and even if he did, he wasn't interested in arguing with her, and he asked Enrique, who was beside Rebecca.

"He's in the back, Edward, come out."

As soon as Enrique's words fell, a tall figure suddenly walked out from behind the trunk of a large tree not far behind Enrique.

“……”

Edward walked over slowly holding his left arm, with a height of 1.9 meters, he lowered his head and looked down at 9S, who looked like he was only about 14 years old, with a complicated expression on his face.

“…… Tsk, stretch out your hand. ”

9S was stared at by Edward's disrespectful gaze, and snorted unhappily, what's so great about growing tall, and the goal is big when fighting! You're going to play basketball when you're so tall!

“……”

Edward silently held out his right hand.

"Stretch out your injured hand."

“……”

Edward didn't speak, silently retracting his right hand and reaching for it.

"Hmm-"

Edward couldn't help but snort, he felt that when 9S grabbed his left wrist, it was so strong that it didn't look like a human at all, as if it was caught in a vice.

Seeing that Edward actually just snorted and didn't scream, 9S didn't embarrass him anymore, and the strength of grabbing his wrist became the level of a normal human, and his left hand reached behind his back and took out the antidote to the T-virus.

"Wait, that's okay, right?"

Rebecca, who spoke up, looked at the syringe that 9S took out with some hesitation, and there was a spiral test tube filled with green liquid inserted into it, this kind of syringe like a firearm was something she had never seen before.

"But you don't have any other way but me."

Without waiting for Rebecca to continue speaking, 9S directly inserted the syringe into Edward's arm, pulled the trigger, and the green liquid in the test tube began to slowly inject into Edward's body.

“…… How's it going? Edward, do you feel anything out of the ordinary? ”

Seeing that 9S let go of Edward's left hand and took a few steps back after the injection, Rebecca hurriedly walked up to Edward's side and asked him.

"Hiss~ I don't know, I don't feel anything, it's the same as just now."

Rebecca, this girl, is actually poking her own wounds!

"Hey, hey, hey~ Please don't look at me like that, it's good if I can give you the serum of the T-virus, what else do you want?!"

Seeing Rebecca looking at him with that suspicious gaze, 9S felt as if a big tic-tac-toe appeared on the top of his head, and there was an urge to pull out the ebony and white ivory in his heart.

"No, thank you very much for helping us, if it's convenient, can you tell me your name?"

Enrique reached out to stop Rebecca, who was about to have a seizure, and asked 9S with a disgruntled look in her eyes.

"My name? My name is 9S. ”

9S didn't expect Enrique to ask this question, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood Enrique's thoughts and decisively reported his name.

“2B。”

2B, who was standing next to 9S, also said his name.

"Is 9S and 2B ......?"

Enrique muttered the two names, and the expression on his face became solemn.
