As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 230 The Nine Dragons
  What do you do when a giant eyeball sticks to your face?

[-]. Look at it.

Two, poke.

[-]. Praise the moon.

neither.

Li Nuo placed the mask in front of his face.

[Fent monster (mutant)]

[Level: lv55]

[Danger level: B]

[Attribute: Evil]

[Brief description: This species is related to you. When you first came to Night City in 2076, its kind helped you kill Adam Hammer (Chapter 97)]

Li Nuo suddenly realized: "It's you..."

boom!
  Suddenly there was a gunshot, and fire flashed behind him.

Li Nuo subconsciously rolled sideways and stood up. He was surrounded by darkness. He knocked the knuckles of his left hand against the weapon box on his back amidst the sound of gunfire.

The magic particles turned into magic potion [Cat].

Amid the sound of gunfire, he poured the potion into his mouth and looked sideways to see a faint figure in the dark distance.

The soldiers who cleaned up the troops were very efficient. They did not hesitate in the face of the strange darkness. They raised their guns and shot at Li Nuo's huge eyeball.

The bullets popped out of the muzzle, but the flames from the muzzle failed to light up the darkness.

After a few seconds.

The soldiers stopped moving.

They are dead.

Li Nuo turned sideways, and the pupil of the eyeball was facing him.

Information about "Fent Monster" suddenly popped into my mind.

——The third eye in the middle of their forehead can be used to hypnotize their prey. While under hypnosis, the prey can only see a burning eye in the impenetrable darkness, which is the last thing the victim sees before death.

This eyeball is neither an ancient god nor a monster.

It's an illusion created by Fenter.

The same goes for the black fog that cannot illuminate the surrounding area.

Fenters hunt prey that make noises in the hallucinations they create.

You can only see the light if you stand next to the eyeball, so Li Nuo quickly took a step to the side.

At the same time, a samurai sword left a slash mark where he just stopped.

There are three players among the soldiers.

This Fenter monster hiding under the church attacked the soldiers indiscriminately, but it did not attack Li Nuo or the players. What does this mean...

"You raised the Fenter monster."

The surroundings were dark and eerily quiet.

"Heh..." The player wearing a soldier's helmet raised his head, put the knife into its sheath, and touched the handle of the knife.

Accumulate.

Slash across!

Li Nuo used his cane to block it, and the metal rubbed sparks. He quickly opened his coat while retreating, and withdrew an alchemy bomb [Devil's Dust] from his inner pocket.

The soldier's knife had come over. Li Nuo released [Seal of Alder], and the frozen misty wind that popped out of his palm was split vertically in two pieces by the blade.

The katana in the opponent's hand lit up with hot electronic light.

His eyes moved in the direction of Lan Feng just now, and Gulu turned to look at Li Nuo.

Behind him, unseen, the Fenter's antlers pressed closer in the darkness.

The hunter's intuition warned Li Nuo that there was a monster behind him, and he immediately threw the bomb without igniting the fuse.

He turned around and used the weapon box as a shield to block the cutting blade, and waved his hand to release [Seal of Igni]. The flames drove back the Fenter monster behind him and ignited the [Devil Dust] in the air.

[Devil Dust], also known as Farmer's Fart, will emit a toxic cloud centered on the detonation point. Any creature within the poison cloud's range will be poisoned.

It is also the nemesis of Fenter monsters.

The moment the poisonous explosion was ignited, the black mist dissipated.

Tight underground alleyways.

Bloodstains, filth, mud, smelly puddles.

Damp walls with mold crawling on them.

Li Nuo moved his feet, and the soles of his shoes were stained with urine stains and indescribable sticky substances on the cracked ground.

The sound of the system reaches your ears:

[Priest Line: Chapter [-], job (completed)]

[Reward: A set of priest uniforms]

[Rewards can be redeemed at any time]

[Priest Line: Chapter [-], find the source area of ​​a large number of demonizations in Pseudo Kowloon City]

Li Nuo looked at Nie Chuang, who was sitting in the corner and was not dead yet. This guy was holding a gun, his finger hanging on the trigger trembling.

Nie Chuang's arm implant showed signs of damage.

Li Nuo walked over, pressed the gun body with his finger, and said softly: "You are not dead because you didn't shoot, so put the gun away now."

Nie Chuang couldn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean..."

"Fent monsters hate noises, especially gunshots, fireworks or explosions." Li Nuo kept his eyes locked on the three players: "Devil's Dust, Stamford Dust, Calcium, Andraeger's Heart, Mushroom , moon rose petals, green mold... Only the enhanced [Devil Dust] can make the Fenter monster temporarily calm down. But the trouble doesn't stop there..."

The gloomy light shone in from the hole in the church floor above, illuminating the corpses on the ground.

The Fenter monster that was eating the soldiers crawled and turned its head suddenly. It looked a bit like an elk, with muscles all over its body, long twisted antlers on its head, and its fangs salivating sticky blood.

Its white teeth chewed the steaming flesh, and a piece of minced meat was clearly visible.

Three players stood not far from the Fenter monster.

[Emil's Mask] detected the data.

Intruder "Xu Nian", level 50.

【Strength: 44】

【Response: 70】

【Spiritual Power: 136】

[Physical: 98]

【Insight: 109】

【Medical: 153】

Very mediocre, but at least better than the other two players around him.

The other two people, a man and a woman, were both at level 44. The man who had just attacked Li Nuo was named "Sika".

Shika's weapon is a cyber style katana, a thermal sword.

The woman's body is blessed with special runes. No specific data can be seen. She only knows that her name is "Jiya". She is standing in the distance and is not a martial arts player.

The three of them were dressed very tightly, and it was impossible to tell whether their bodies had been modified with large-size implants.

The smell of urine here interrupted Li Nuo's thoughts.

He frowned, laid his cane sideways, and stepped back.

The poisonous mist of [Enhanced Demon Dust] separated Li Nuo and Nie Chuang from the three players and the Fenter monster, and neither side could make any progress.

The player "Xika" who attacked Li Nuo had a long knife in his back.

He looked at the position of the Fenter monster and clicked his tongue: "The Fenter monster is actually afraid..."

The other two players were also wearing the tactical uniforms of the cleanup team, with helmets covering their faces. The man who was judged as the [intruder] said calmly: "Obviously, Mr. Priest is a demon hunter, and he is quite interesting. Witcher.”

A row of data flashed across the helmet visor.

The intruder "Xu Nian" was shocked.

so strong...

"Go into the village and kill him." Xu Nian silently took out a rough-textured [Teleportation Stone] from the grid of his backpack.

"Are you sure you want to give me the fat?" Sika turned around and looked over.

The female player Jiya suddenly shouted: "Look back!"

Sika turned back sharply.

Emil's weird smile passed through the dark green poisonous dust.

The empty eyes on the mask stared into Sikka's eyes.

Xu Nian gritted his teeth and crushed the [Teleportation Stone] in his hand. The huge amber teleportation gate blinked open on the ground like an eye.

Within a radius of ten meters, all living creatures are trapped in an irreversible portal.

When his hands and feet felt real again, Li Nuo felt dizzy.

Then he couldn't help but cover his mouth and retched.

This is not a simple portal.

It's a [teleportation spell], and it's a low-end version that will make people feel nauseous during the process.

[Priest Line: Chapter [-], find the source area of ​​a large number of demonizations in Pseudo Kowloon City (completed)]

[Reward: Priest Skill "Guardian Barrier"]

[Rewards can be redeemed at any time]

[Priest Line: Chapter [-], Find a Way to Enter the Walled City]

When Li Nuo raised his head, a long knife was placed one meter in front of his neck. Xika endured nausea and bowed to take a stance.

[Accidentally skipped quest line]

[The title skill "Script Breaker" triggers: Get a chance of "misfortune immunity"]

Beside them, the huge body of the Fenter filled one-third of the room, staring eagerly into the witcher's narrowed eyes.

The room is cramped.

Heavy rain beat on the windows.

The neon lights outside flickered in the gloom.

Through their flickering light, one can see the cramped buildings outside and the closed space without the sky.

In addition to him, the three players and the Fenter monster, Nie Chuang was also teleported as the only survivor.

Li Nuo saw several lines of pixel text carved by the system from the window:

【Kowloon Mile】

[2085, location - New United States of America, Kuala Lumpur New District, north of pseudo-Kowloon City]

[Security is chaotic, evil forces are rampant, the most dangerous demon zone]

[Player power: Guild "Arctic Circle" base]

[Remaining forces: 1. The remaining forces of the CIA in North America; 2. The Voodoo Gang; 3. The Evil Ghost Society]

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth trembled slightly.

The amount of information is huge...

At this time, the sound of the iron sheet being scratched made his ears twitch.

The sharp claws scratched the iron sheet of the floor, and the Fenter monster lowered its back and kicked out towards Li Nuo!

The demon hunter and the monster were knocked down together. In the dust, Xika, who was about to go over and wait and see, was pulled back by Xu Nian.

"The Fenter monster is cruel. You don't want to be eaten by it." Xu Nian opened the door: "Xika, stay nearby, record the location and pass it on to others."

Shika didn't listen: "I want heads and gold coins."

He jumped down the ruins fault.

Xu Nian took a deep breath: "Jiya, come with me, you can't die."

They quickly descended the outer stairs and entered the narrow alley.

"Very powerful?" Jiya asked.

"The medical value is special, it may be [a person with residual blood]." Xu Nian said.

Jiya paused.

"Exactly the same as Zha Su..."

Xu Nian urged, stepping on the iron steps.

"I don't know what the 'Endless Corridor' thinks of [the one with residual blood]. In our corridor, the characteristic of [the one with residual blood] is that we must not challenge him in a one-on-one fight, but must surround him."

Jiya touched the control panel on the side of the helmet, and the connected eye prosthesis flashed.

"Okay, I've passed on his information to the Voodoo Gang, those Haitian bastards..."

A gust of wind rolled the faded paper bag past.

Jiya had strong heart palpitations.

"Xu Nian...wait..."

Before he finished speaking, pieces of glass fell from above and stuck on the damp ground a step away from Xu Nian.

Xu Nian stopped.

Snapped--!
  The five-meter-high upper window was shattered!

Xu Nian was suddenly startled, and a black shadow fell in the sky.

Jiya behind him pulled the trigger upwards, just one shot, and with the sound of a heavy hammer hitting the ground, the gunfire stopped.

The bullet-riddled Emil's mask was obscured by shadows.

Li Nuo dragged the church hammer stained red with blood, stepped on an unknown part of Jiya's body, raised his head, and stared at Xu Nian in front of him.

"Don't run away... I'm in a daze right now and I need to talk to you."

Li Nuo whispered, his eyes sinking.

Xu Nian frowned, pointed out the magic wave with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice: "How did you escape from the Fenter monster?"

Li Nuo pointed upward: "I didn't run away."

An explosion in the air!
  Two heavy objects rushed out of the wall on the upper right, and a large number of broken bricks fell down!

Boom!
  The vampire dragon bit the Fenter monster and crashed into the abandoned house on the other side!
  Xu Nian's heart skipped a beat: "Damn it...he's a fucking animal trainer..."

At this time Jiya's arm moved.

"Xu Nian, run."

Jia tore off the left half of her body that was smashed by the church hammer, and her coat was completely crushed. The woman’s legs twisted their joints backwards and crawled onto the wall like a spider.

The almost entirely mechanical prosthetic body is exposed, and the alloy plating on the arms and body reflects the neon lights in the rain, giving off a cold, hard metallic texture.

The prosthetic eye cylinder on the back of the head clicked into the empty eye socket of the head, and half of the face was mixed with flesh and metal.

Her long hair was spread out, and her pale skin oozing with blood gave her a sense of sadness.

She looks like a mechanical female ghost.

"Xu Nian, run."

she repeated again.

After activating the [Qilu Prosthetic Eye System], I was surprised to find that Li Nuo had not modified his brain...

Most players who enter cyberpunk will find ways to modify their bodies, which has advantages and disadvantages. For players who lack physical strength, the benefits of body modification outweigh the disadvantages.

"run!"

This time Jiya's voice came out from between her teeth!
  Xu Nian instantly created a portal, and in less than a second, half of his body was already submerged in the door.

Li Nuo waved his cane and fired [Blood Explosion Bomb] from the air.

The bullet made of blood passed through Xu Nian's arm and penetrated his body.

The moment Xu Nian was in pain and his body was pinned, the last exposed arm in a daze was entangled with sharp thorns.

The body of the staff transformed into a whip blade, wrapping Xu Nian's hand, and the whip blade's intermittent cross spikes penetrated his crotch.

Li Nuo pulled the whip blade.

Xu Nian opened his fingers and released a magic bullet wrapped in sparks.

In the cramped alleyway, the blood explosions and magic bullets produced by the cross spikes exploded at the same time.

Li Nuo pulled back the whip blade, tore off Xu Nian's arm, and clasped his arms together to activate the newly learned priest skill [Guardian Barrier], blocking the blood explosion and air explosion caused by magic bullets.

The whole person was knocked backwards, and the box on his back hit the wall and stopped.

The pupils looked forward.

Looking through the smoke, the intruder Xu Nian had entered the portal, but his hand and one leg remained here.

"hiss……"

Li Nuo touched his shoulder.

"Priest skills are a bit interesting..."

【Guardian Barrier】

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: Increase the attribute defense of our single target by 25%, lasting 1.2 seconds, cooling time 30 seconds]

[Brief description: The watch that belongs exclusively to the priest]

There was a wave of heat coming from behind.

Li Nuo jumped off the wall and did a double jump, and his body got stuck on the narrow walls on both sides.

On the other side, Jiya was disturbed by the vampire dragons and Fenter monsters that sprang out from the wall again. When she fell to the ground in a prone position, Xu Nian left her hands and legs and escaped with her body.

But Jiya panicked, her eyes flashed red, and the [Sianwistan] in her body was activated. At the same time, her waist twisted in reverse and bounced up, and she pulled out the kinetic energy gun at her waist.

At the same time, Li Nuo threw his felt hat.

boom!
  Jiya pulled the trigger and turned her head to avoid the flying felt hat.

The bullets of the kinetic pistol have a ricochet effect, which is particularly effective in tight alleys.

Suddenly her eyes froze.

Li Nuo disappeared.

The lights from high-rise buildings lengthened the shadows.

She saw two shadows reflected on the ground, one was her own, and the other was... Li Nuo.

Jiya murmured in disbelief: "That hat..."

Li Nuo: "Can teleport."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cane had penetrated Jiya's body from top to bottom.

The woman vomited red blood.

"Wait... I can tell you, you want to know..."

puff--!
  The cane transformed into a saw blade and picked out Jiya's heart from the inside.

[5565 players have been killed]

[Get experience value: 1221]

"Killing players can gain experience points... It seems that the rules of the killing script are the same as the train assessment."

Li Nuo pulled out his weapon, pressed the brim of his hat, glanced at the woman lying in a pool of blood, and murmured: "She must be so beautiful, she must be very deceptive... Zhang Wuji fucking said, don't rely on me."

At this time, the entire wall behind it collapsed.

The Fenter's body crushed the wall.

The vampire dragon lay on top of the monster and bit off the Fenter monster's neck.

Li Nuo went over and took out the elf ball, and carefully touched the vampire dragon's dark head: "Thank you, come back for a while."

He took the guy's Poke Ball back before the vampire dragon bit him.

[Priest Line: Chapter [-], Find a Way to Enter the Walled City (Completed)]

"Reed...Shadow of the Past?"

[Accidentally skipped quest line]

[The title skill "Script Breaker" triggers: Get a chance of "misfortune immunity"]

[The current cumulative number of "bad luck exemptions" is 2]

"in a sense……"

Li Nuo looked at the broken arm left by Xu Nian.

"You three are here to give me assists..."

He complained secretly and walked over, picked up the severed arm left by Xu Nian, put it in front of his nose and inhaled the smell.

Red smoke drifted out, pointing to the higher floors.

The end of the smoke.

Xu Nian poured out of the portal.

He raised his head and said to the bearded man sitting on the sofa: "Zhasu, here comes the powerful guy... a [residual blood person] like you."

Zhasu had a big belly and absentmindedly ate the synthetic meat steak. He glanced at Xu Nian and said, "You are a disgrace to the intruder."

Xu Nian lay on the ground and said with a pale face: "Check the surveillance, you will know just by looking at it."

Chasu: "Nefer."

Naifel, a black man with dreadlocks, was sitting on a black sofa chair filled with network pipes. He said "Oh" and said, "I received a message from Miss Jiya a few minutes ago. Let me take a look." of."

Zhasu: "By the way, find Sikka's location first."

Veins popped out on Nefel's forehead, signal reception started, and Sikka was found on the TV screen.

Sika lying in a pool of blood.

Li Nuo walked out of the screen and glanced at the camera. The two empty eyes on the mask were pointed at the eyes of the viewer.

He raised the gun, pointed it at the camera and pulled the trigger.

There was smoke from the muzzle.

Li Nuo put away his pistol, walked to Sika, and then said in a particularly awkward tone: "Tell me... why are you joining in the fun of the fight between two monsters..."

"You made a sneak attack..." Sikka said through gritted teeth. He wanted to take action, but the mechanical parts of his arms and legs were severed.

Li Nuo is simply too familiar with Cyber's transformed people.

Marjie hangs in front of him every day. He probably knows the weaknesses of the implant better than these players who have modified their bodies.

When Sika jumped off the fault and was about to take Li Nuo's head from the mouth of the Fenter monster, Li Nuo released the vampire dragon, sneaked up on Sika in the chaos, and spared this guy's life.

He also conveniently took away a bottle of Sika's blood medicine using [Steal].

"To be serious, you attacked me in the church and brought me to this wretched place. You couldn't help but want to kill me. It's very unreasonable." Li Nuo thought for a while: "Also, you didn't shoot in the dark. , in order not to make a big noise and be attacked by Fenter monsters, are you breeding these monsters? Who gave you the resources?"

Li Nuo paused.

"Should I say it myself, or should I find a way for you to say it?"

Sikka gritted her teeth.

Li Nuo turned his head and smiled at Nie Chuang, who was sitting on top of the fault and covered in injuries.

Li Nuo asked: "Lord Knight, can you make him speak the truth?"

Nie Chuang took a deep breath: "Don't be so disgusting... I just want to know... what kind of priest you are."

Li Nuo didn't answer, and threw [Yaxi's Seal] at Sika.

He thought for a while and decided not to use the too risky dice mode yet.

Directly use the simplest hypnosis method to release the seal.

The moment Xika's eyes were blank, Li Nuo immediately asked: "Answer the question I just asked."

In just a second, light and shadow appeared again in Sika's empty eyes. He yelled subconsciously: "What the hell did you do to me!"

Li Nuo ignored it.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he took out the teapot from his lower back and took a sip.

"Nie Chuang, if something happens to me later, please protect me."

Are you sure you still need protection like this? Nie Chuang originally wanted to say this, but Li Nuo's serious tone made him suppress his complaints.

He nodded hard: "Yeah, okay."

Li Nuo: "You finally admit that you are a knight."

Nie Chuang popped out from between his teeth: "Shut up..."

Li Nuo continued to use [Seal of Yaksi] on Sika.

The condensed magic power popped out of a dice in the palm of his hand.

This scene dumbfounded Nie Chuang.

Priest...

Really have magical power?
  "Fuck..."

However, the next scene completely subverted Nie Chuang, a former military technology soldier.

Li Nuo: "Why are you obsessed with killing me? Why did you bring me in? What's the point of cultivating monsters? Where is Reed? Answer me from the most serious to the least."

Shika spat at him: "Fuck you."

Li Nuodang didn't care, the panel popped up: [11 o'clock]

"You don't look as tenacious as you appear."

Li Nuo smiled.

Shika looked horrified.

"The priest's trial has begun~"

Li Nuo rolled the dice.

Points 13.

Almost scared him to death.

[judgment takes effect]

Sika suddenly had empty eyes and said mechanically:
  "We don't know Reed..."

"I killed you because of a mission, not a system mission, but a middleman from Night City."

"He called himself 'Ronald Omdis.'"

"He said that on May 2085, 5, a priest will come to Kowloon... and kill the priest. He made us an offer that we cannot refuse. My companions and I disguised ourselves as a cleanup team and have been searching for you. …”

When Sika was talking, Li Nuo noticed that there were shiny marks on his tongue.

"The monster... was an accident..."

"Reed...we don't know where Reed is..."

The more Sika spoke, the less like her face became.

His appearance has undergone subtle changes, wrinkles appear at the corners of his eyes, his skin is getting whiter, he is getting older, and his facial features have become three-dimensional.

"Kill you... everyone in our guild will get a special reward... resurrection magic..."

Sika's expression suddenly paused.

then……

"Long time no see, Mr. Witcher."

Sika's face turned into a face that Li Nuo would never forget.

But in just a moment, Sika's face changed back to her own.

This guy could no longer make a sound, the mark in his mouth was burning with heat, and burnt smoke was coming out of his mouth.

Li Nuo took out his gun, pointed it at Sikka's head and pulled the trigger.

[5580 players have been killed]

[Get experience value: 1300]

Looking at the blood hole on Xika's forehead, Li Nuo thought to himself: "The devil is hindering you, but it seems that guy can't appear here. System restrictions or something else..."

Nie Chuang said at this time: "Excuse me, what happened?"

Li Nuo stood up, looked at Nie Chuang, and said, "There is a middleman in Night City who entrusted me to destroy an organization called 'Players' here."

Nie Chuang was stunned.

Li Nuo: "I want to try first to see if I can get out of the Nine Dragons, exorcise demons on the way, and do some things that a priest should do. Are you willing to join us?"

Nie Chuang took a deep breath: "I haven't finished my work yet, and I have no other choice but to follow you."

Li Nuo: "You can try to betray me."

That way I can at least kill you right here, that's what Li Nuo meant.

Nie Chuang was a bit stubborn and didn't know what was going on. He slightly raised his chin with disdain in his eyes: "Sell out...you think I'm a dog raised by those companies."
