As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 243 V (1.2W)

Half an hour later, the car stopped on the side of the road.

The reason is that there is no oil.

"As for gasoline, I have some spare in the mechanical storage box in my hand." Nanami said as she took out her new weapon, an electromagnetic pulse stick, from the car.

Li Nuo changed back into the priest's black cult coat, walked out of the car with the failed decoction, threw the potion to the ground in disappointment, and said: "The car fuel in the cyber world is not gasoline, but CHOOH2, a kind of super ethanol similar to of biofuels.”

Michiko also got out of the car and threw a chip to Nanami.

"See for yourself, silly girl, you don't even know this."

Nanami curled her lips and inserted the chip: "After 2020, with the global oil crisis, CHOOH2 will replace traditional fossil fuels and become the main source of energy. Isn't this thing... biodiesel?"

Li Nuo put the rewarded book "Arzu's Alchemy" into the compartment of his backpack, tapped the gas tank and raised his eyebrows.

"There are great differences in the civilian foundation of science and technology in different regions and countries. Although you can see high-end transportation floats when you look up, it is completely impossible for such high-tech products to be directly popularized in the social form in which they are set. The level of streets and alleys, economic development, social form, resource allocation, etc. do not support this kind of scene. It can only be said that in that era of extreme expansion of oligopoly and capitalism, and abnormal distribution of social resources, top people go out. Flying in the sky, the rich and middle-class people drive fancy cars, while the common people at the bottom drive assemble cars.”

"You understand me very well, boy." Michiko said with appreciation: "Mr. Priest, if you have to go on the run this time, do you want to be my exclusive mercenary?"

"First tell me how far away the scavenger's lair is." Li Nuo said.

Michiko looked at a hill behind Li Nuo: "Did you see there, the optical camouflage projector, the building hidden on the hill? There is the scavenger's lair there."

Cha Bai activates the prosthetic eye: "It reacts with thermal energy."

"High technology..." Li Nuo sighed: "Why didn't I know that underground organizations like the Scavengers have this level of technology?"

He walked that way with his head.

Michiko said on the way: "The reflective layer material projected by the satellite system is actually a means of military technology."

"Military technology... cooperates with scavengers?" Nanami wondered.

"It's not cooperation, it's a relationship of subordination. In the past, the American continent was in chaos, and the scavengers could cause chaos everywhere. Now that they are unified, they are still alive and well. They kidnapped a few honest people when they had no time, pulled out their prosthetic bodies and sold them, including their brains. Even if they don't keep it, why do you think they can be so rampant?" Michiko smiled and said: "Every time a scavenger attack occurs, the police just show up and arrive after the attack. Our middlemen haven't received any calls in the past two years. Regarding the large-scale extermination commission of the scavengers, the reason from the beginning to the end is not because there are people above."

Li Nuo: "Thieves match the army."

Michiko nodded: "Yes, that's right. I don't know how crazy President Miles is. She used these scavengers to dissect monsters and make weapons. She pocketed all the violent groups she could use."

She took a few steps forward, staggered at an angle, and continued to move forward for nearly a hundred meters.

A building that cannot be seen from the highway appears suddenly, distorting the light and scene like a mirage.

factory.

A factory filled with the smell of blood.

"Hmm... the situation of the scavengers is a bit like the fierce ghost gang in Kowloon." Li Nuo took a sharp breath. The smell of rotten flesh became stronger and stronger, and there was V's breath, but it was too weak, and was almost overwhelmed by the smell of blood. All covered.

"But the Fierce Ghost Gang is different. They have nothing to do with internal political struggles. In short, we bottom-level maggots don't understand and don't understand." Michiko paused: "Hey... what are you going to do? "

Li Nuo was rolling up his sleeves: "Huh?"

Nanami also turned around: "Huh?"

Cha Bai explained: "Needless to say, since they have the support of New America, they must have a lot of resources."

Michiko looked at them strangely.

Queen Cairo said after realizing it: "I understand, it's a disaster!"

Li Nuo praised: "As expected of an interstellar pirate, he is very knowledgeable."

Mr. Cairo didn't understand it, but thought he was praising it, so he covered his face and smiled shyly: "(づど) Hehe~"

Although the target is V, players are like dogs. How can a wild dog not dig through the trash can?

"In other words, open the blind box." Li Nuo licked his lips and went over.

There was the sound of a car passing behind me.

Nanami: "Here comes another one."

The off-road vehicle parked nearby, and Xing Kai got out of the vehicle, holding a piece of rye bread in his mouth: "Yo~"

Li Nuo pointed to the top of the hill: "Destroy the scavenger, are you interested?"

"Let's get down to business first." Xing Kai came over without any nonsense and went straight to the point: "I finally got a chip password key for my task line, which is linked to the swordsman line."

"That Su Mei is on the swordsman line... let's wait until she comes." Nanami said.

Li Nuo said "Yeah", looked away, turned around, and tapped the ground with his cane: "Cha Bai, stay here to protect Miss Michiko and Mr. Cairo. By the way, Nie Chuang is still in the car. Wait for us to go in later. Finally, you will wait with them at the door. If reinforcements appear, they will be dealt with here."

Another meaning is that "our own people" need to keep an eye on Mr. Cairo.

Cha Bai: "Can you do it alone?"

Li Nuo snapped his fingers: "Who comes in with me?"

"In addition to killing the scavenger, the main purpose is to save V, right?" Xing Kai shrugged his shoulders: "In case she is about to die, I may be of use."

He followed Li Nuo, and Nanami followed him consciously.

Cha Bai stared at Li Nuo's back, with worry hidden in his eyes covered by goggles.

The mark on the tongue coating is always hot.

【Evocation Brand】

[The magic mastered by demons or indescribable things can also be called curses. You can choose a body for the demon's soul to carry its weight, but be aware that the strength of the body must be equal to that of the demon itself. Intensity, otherwise it will be unhappy and turn you into a madman with its thoughts]

Through feedback from the events in Kowloon, she was certain that when a demon appeared nearby, the [Demon Evocation Brand] would generate heat.

"Li Nuo..."

……

"Li Nuo, what are you doing with an NPC?" Nanami meant Michiko.

"Middleman, we need this kind of intelligence dealer." Li Nuo glanced to the side.

Nanami asked: "About Mirror Master..."

Li Nuo: "Don't ask, don't think. He can read what we are thinking in our minds. Before everyone gathers together, take one step at a time."

Nanami said "hmm" and then turned around: "Who is it?"

Li Nuo and Xing Kai stopped and looked at Nanami and her empty body inexplicably.

"I..." Nanami was a little surprised: "I just heard someone talking behind me..."

"What did you say?" Li Nuo asked.

Nanami: "I don't understand...but I always feel like I'm being called..."

At this time, they heard the system’s voice:

[Reminder, the closer you are to Night City, the more dangerous it is to your ears]

"Ancient God?"

He looked at Li Nuo.

"Hmm..." Li Nuo glanced around: "I don't know."

No one knows what he is thinking, only he knows it, and it is best not to think about anything now.

Nanami's eyes trembled slightly, she turned her head invisibly, and asked carefully: "But why, only I can hear it."

Xing Kai: "I have high medical value and passive resistance skills."

Li Nuo: "My medical value is low and I have passive resistance skills."

Nanami took a deep breath, feeling that there was nothing more to talk about, so she walked towards the factory first.

Xing Kai walked behind and asked, "Have you met Annabell?"

Li Nuo nodded: "Well, she asked me to find you back."

Xing Kai laughed: "Ha... interesting woman."

Li Nuo asked: "You don't care?"

Xing Kai: "It's a game life, there's no need to care."

When people lie, their micro-expressions are very obvious. Traces of lies can be seen in subtle changes in the pupils, corners of the eyes, and lips.

For example, as Marger said, his pupils move to the right, or when he doesn't mean what he says, his eyes will look to an area that makes him feel at ease.

Xing Kai subconsciously glanced at the sky behind the dark clouds in the distance.

Li Nuo carefully looked at this [rescuer]. He had curly hair, a stubble, a tall stature, and a lazy face. He looked like the black-haired Sakata Gintoki who ran out of the "Gintama" theater.

"Okay, here we are..." Nanami took out a pair of glasses and put them on.

Special body temperature sensing goggles.

The moment she put on the goggles, the transmission tube connected to her neck emitted a faint red light, which stabilized Nanami's head temperature at 38.8 degrees. She felt like she was having a high fever and was dizzy, but at the same time, the temperature in her body was Environmental information received by the sensors is also communicated to her.

She could see lights and colors that humans couldn't see. The monotonous and dim hills changed into something else. The electromagnetic waves that transmitted electricity and signals shrouded the entire sight in a dusk-like glow.

All human signs covered by optical camouflage appear on the glasses.

"There are thirty-two people in total, not many, but there is a big guy."

Nanami took two steps sideways.

A shoe with a heel, a mechanical leg, and a strange step that looks like a mixture of a cat and a crab.

"Damn... there are forty-six people with cold body temperatures, and about seventeen things that are not human."

"Miss... what kind of high technology are you talking about?" Xing Kai asked.

"Do you want it?" Nanami looked over: "First amputate the leg, and then connect the sensor from the bone to the head. And no anesthesia is allowed during the whole process, and you have to stay awake at all times to adjust your vision."

Even Li Nuo felt that this girl was really cruel... she didn't even care whether she could survive in reality just to live up to the script.

"I plan to live in Basel." Nanami seemed to know what they were thinking, and said: "Anyway, I can't survive in reality without two arms, so why not be more bold and just become a disabled person and do anything? Same."

"Stop talking nonsense..." Li Nuo was not in the mood to joke today. V is very important and must be rescued as soon as possible: "Let me ask you two, should we break in or sneak in?"

"Is there a difference?"

"Too."

At this time, Xing Kai asked a question he shouldn't have asked: "Why are you wearing a helmet?"

Li Nuo took off his helmet.

Xing Kai and Nanami almost pulled over.

There is still one hour left for the mirror to change his face. During this period, his face is a weapon of mental pollution.

Li Nuo put on his helmet, lit his cane and walked over.

The two men holding the door held rifles and did not panic or show any other emotions when they saw Li Nuo's appearance.

Apparently, lost people often visit here.

As for the consequences for those who patronize, hehehe~

You can tell from the septic tank not far from the factory.

Scavengers are very principled in their work. They use prosthetic eyes to detect basic information. As long as they don't have "identity", they can be regarded as commodities.

For example, Li Nuo's information is "none".

Because his status as a priest was removed from military science and technology, and his previous resume was being tampered with by the authorities, it was immediately obvious that this guy had no identity or background.

Li Nuo turned to Nanami's stick and said, "Send the donors to see God."

Nanami complained harshly: "Don't think I don't know about Sun Wukong!"

The next second, this woman who was quite practical was holding a long stick, like a monkey wearing a short skirt, and swung the two guards to the door with one stick.

The strong wind swirled over and blew away the hat Li Nuo wore on his helmet. He used his "hey, hey, hey" skills to reach it.

Then when the hat flew to the small platform on the first and a half floors of the factory, Li Nuo disappeared and used the characteristics of [Flying Thunder God Hat] to teleport directly into the upper floor of the factory.

He opened the iron door and ran into a big brother with a gun.

"Um……"

"Uh……"

Suddenly, Li Nuo pulled out a knife and stabbed the opponent in the neck.

"Sending you to see Tathagata!"

There was blood everywhere.

Li Nuo stuck himself in a dark corner of the second-floor platform, watched the terrain here, and found the fire plan from the wall...

"What a fucking fire map... the scavenger who cut off the kidneys is quite aware of safety."

Player window:

Li Nuo: "We found the fire plan. The anatomy room is on the basement floor. Don't take the elevator. Take the stairs on the northeast side."

Nanami: "Why are you acting separately from us?"

Li Nuo: "I'm going to take off my helmet. Do you want to see my face?"

Xing Kai: "My lord is wise."

Su Mei: "Isn't my little brother handsome?"

Ever since she first encountered the "Neil" script, Su Mei had always wanted to see Li Nuo's face. For no other reason than that, a guy with a brain, a thin body, a nice voice, a cane and a windbreaker, what would he think? It should also be a bit like a girl's manga.

Li Nuo knew what Su Mei was thinking, so he didn't let her see it.

This is not hanging her.

Just think it's fun.

Nanami: "You will regret it. You will regret it."

Xing Kai: "Have you seen the ancient gods?"

Su Mei: "I...forget it...I'll take my time."

Cha Bai: "Li Nuo, Mr. Cailuo accidentally breathed in your nerve virus energy. It wants to hit Miss Michiko. Should I open Mr. Luo?"

Li Nuo: "If your child wants to hit you, let him hit you. Miss Michiko can understand."

……

On the other side, Nanami crushed a group of gun-wielding scavengers with overwhelming force.

puff--

The stick split open her head, and blood as thick as watermelon juice splashed all over her face. She hid behind the bunker with a calm expression, and knocked out the bullet stuck in her shoulder amidst the sound of gunfire.

The blood-stained warhead clanged to the ground, and Nanami spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hey, doctor, take action."

Xing Kai hid behind the door and said softly: "As you know, medical soldiers generally have no combat effectiveness."

"Who believes it?" Nanami was speechless. A bullet that penetrated the wall passed through her face, leaving a trail of blood on her cheek.

As long as the player is not injured by a space-compressing weapon, generally speaking, no scars will be left on the player.

But strangely, Nanami felt the muscles on her face heat up.

"Bullets carry skills."

"It smells like gold coins..."

The next second, the wound left by the bullet caused the cheek to explode!

"hiss……"

She rushed out with blood, and struck the shooter in the chest with a stick. The cracks in the mechanical legs glowed purple, and the operation of the micro motor inside was like a cry of preparation.

The soles of his feet spurted flames, and with the help of his help, he pierced the opponent's chest with a stick and knocked him into an unmanned warehouse.

The man pulled the trigger suddenly, leaving a string of bullet marks on Nanami's chest.

A flash of golden light bounced back the bullet that penetrated the skin, hitting the shooter's body with a crackling sound.

[Qilin Kung Fu: Protection].

Half of Nanami's face was blown up, half of her face was open, and her bones were exposed to blood and air.

She stepped on the opponent, twisted the stick to release electromagnetic waves, and ended the opponent's life with a muffled roar.

[To kill player 5551]

[Gold coins obtained: 2500]

"It seems there are still players lurking here."

Xing Kai said and walked over.

Nanami turned back with a ferocious face and stared blankly.

All the scavengers were lying on the ground at that moment.

"Don't move." Xing Kai's finger touched the bridge of her nose.

Warmth poured into the brain along the wound.

"Medical players are rare." Nanami touched the wound where the flesh was squirming and recovering.

"This is not important. What is important is that there may be something more powerful down there." That’s about it.”

As he said.

Li Nuo "sneaked" into the basement first.

When he was on the underground floor, his eyes were opened.

"Scavengers are outrageous."

There are ten beds, a place like a morgue, and there is a cremator next to it. The internal organs and implants are taken out, and then the body is sent to the fire and burned to ashes. One-stop service.

There was a strange smell in the air. He inhaled sharply and smelled the layers of smell: mint, cooking oil, lilac, flavonoids, terpenes, and phenols.

"Add a little bit of dwarf liquor to create a poisonous fragrance."

A knife emerged from behind.

Li Nuo blocked the blade with the weapon box and retreated: "The scavenger doesn't know how to do alchemy, right?"

A player holding a cyber katana sneered: "Don't interrupt me from doing the main story, you bastard."

Li Nuo sneered and took off his helmet again.

A player who was hiding in the dark and releasing poisonous gas heard a deep, melodious howl from his teammates.

"He got kicked in the balls?"

The next second, Li Nuo rushed out with the ancient god in his face.

Taking advantage of the opponent's daze, [Yaxi's Seal] was activated.

"What is your main line?"

"Under the order of the Secret Service... assist the scavenger, bring V's information back, and kill V conveniently."

The player returned to consciousness the next second, and the black muzzle of the gun was already pressed against his head.

Li Nuo pulled the trigger.

The eight-star gun's bullet exploded the opponent's skull.

"The camps are different... I originally wanted to drag you into the sea..."

Li Nuo put away his gun. He wanted to see more and more what he looked like now. But for my own sake, I still put on the helmet.

After searching for the bleeding potion from the dead player, immediately rush in the direction of V's smell.

He strode over, and his cell phone rang. It was a text message from Cha Bai: They have reinforcements, don't come out, I will take care of it.

Before taking two steps, the mobile phone signal disappeared. No signal means there is a secret hidden. Li Nuo thought so and put the phone back into his pocket and walked towards a room. V's scent was interrupted nearby, or in other words, it was interrupted by other people. The smell is masked.

Gently pushing the door open, the strong and thick smell of blood hit his face like a sea wave.

Dozens of erratic corpses were placed in the blood-stained room.

Several "doctors" wearing masks were packing up surgical instruments. As soon as they turned their heads, several gunshots rang out.

Li Nuo was left alive because, if nothing else, this guy was dressed like a leader, and his "hunter" senses told him that there was something abnormal about this guy.

Replace it with a "mercury bullet", take out the folding stool and place it on the blood-covered floor.

Pull the person up and place them on the seat.

"I ask, you tell."

"you……"

Without letting the other party speak, Li Nuo kicked the chair of the folding stool.

The iron rod went straight to the opponent's divine realm.

However, the guy suddenly laughed: "Fuck...how do you know I'm good at this?"

Li Nuo glared and kicked the chair leg again.

The iron rod was drilled up a few centimeters.

The guy stopped smiling, and his teeth under the mask made a squeaking sound, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak.

"The iron rod of the chair is one meter long. I wonder if your rectum can reach your throat." Li Nuo conveniently put the muzzle of the gun against the opponent's neck: "Where is V?"

The guy looked at the cabinets in the room.

"Are you still alive?" Li Nuo asked.

"Alive, waiting for the order to dissect her..." came out from the guy's teeth with difficulty: "It's the order from the superior..."

"Who is the superior?"

"Myers...President Miles..."

Doctor Scavenger's body suddenly split open, and a head covered with tumors came out of his body.

The open mouthparts aimed at Li Nuo's face and bit him!

Pulling the trigger, the mercury bullet that was ready to go blasted open the opponent's head.

The monster sat back on the folding stool and twitched for a few times before making no sound. His flesh and blood became shredded, and he slid from the seat to the floor like a loach.

Blood splattered on Li Nuo's clothes and soaked into the black fabric.

Li Nuo tilted his head: "It's not that simple for people to change towards demons... Is it your fault?"

The Mirror Master, whom only he could see, stood in the corner and applauded: "It's just the beginning, Mr. Demon Hunter."

The next second, Mirror Master disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.

Huang Liang's dream-like illusion made Li Nuo's head spin, but he knew that seeing the Mirror Master was not an illusion. He could truly feel that there was malicious intent staring at him.

"It's so annoying..."

Li Nuo took a deep breath. Normally, he would liven up the atmosphere and do something seemingly out of the ordinary to make people around him less nervous.

He's not in that mood at all now.

The pressure is increasing...

Especially... since entering the Night City area, the Mirror Master has been flashing in sight.

Just like in the story of "The Witcher", from the beginning of Geralt's story, the Mirror Master has been hiding in the crowd to spy on him.

He didn't know what the mirror was for.

But there were two things he was certain of.

1. The Mirror Master wants to spy on the players’ thoughts.

2. The purpose of Mirror Master is not just to kill him, there must be something else.

In the conversation in Kowloon, Master Mirror said he would wait for Li Nuo in Night City.

What is the purpose of waiting for Li Nuo...

Just kill him?

Want to see a fun challenge?

Li Nuo didn't think so. The devil's language was deceptive, and the Mirror Master must have other purposes, and they were more dangerous than imagined.

The Mirror Master likes to play with people's fate, but his play often has a clear purpose and is never the unfounded fun of a child.

Therefore, it is very important for V to be able to avoid being killed by the Mirror Master toying with his fate.

To sum up, all Li Nuo can do now is to temporarily let his mind wander and wait for the players to gather before making plans.

fear death.

Don't want to die.

He obviously just pulled her back.

Finally, she is no longer alone, but she must be alone.

Can't do it.

There was nothing he could do.

So Li Nuo looked at the place where Master Mirror disappeared, and the killing intent deep in his eyes leaked out.

Regardless, the demon must die.

Anyone who threatens the future must die. He followed the scavenger's gaze before he died, and when he was about to open the only cabinet in the room, there was a noise from outside.

Li Nuo originally thought that it was Nanami and the others who were exchanging fire with the scavengers hiding here, but a string of disco-like music that followed made him have to stop what he was doing.

He pulled out his gun, held it against the door, and opened it a crack...

Xing Kai stood in the aisle, smoking a cigarette with an anxious face.

Nanami stood in the distance with one hand on her hip in a dignified manner.

Her stick stood in the middle of the aisle, and a scavenger wearing something else was pole dancing around the stick...

Nanami turned around and looked at Li Nuo, who had already opened the door. She explained with a bit of embarrassment in her tone: "He is a player. He is not easy to fight. There is nothing I can do about it."

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes: "What did I see..."

The stick is the reward weapon of Nanami's "Dancer Line", and it is also the reward that she does not want to say.

[Dancer’s pole +6]

【Excellent quality】

[Attribute bonus: Strength +13, Reaction +6]

[Equipment requirements: Strength 25, learn the skill "Puzzling Dance"]

[Effect 1: Can release electromagnetic pulse shock wave]

[Effect 2: Let other touchers make a judgment. If the judgment fails, they will have to dance pole around the stick. During the dance, the opponent's physical resistance and magic resistance will increase by 50%, but their brains will feel as if they have been damaged. Falling into a "dizzied" state, after dancing, all stamina is exhausted]

[Brief description: In a sense, this is a magic prop]

There are several traveler lines, and the rewards players receive include many seemingly deceptive but useful gadgets.

For example, Nanami's stick, or Li Nuo's "restoration technique" that can't be used.

In short, after Nanami solved the player, Li Nuo pointed to the room: "Let's go, it should be cleared."

Xing Kai was the first to follow, walked into the room, and frowned slightly when he saw the corpses with their bodies eviscerated one by one.

"All that was dug out were pieces of skin." His eyes were locked on a woman's corpse: "Vivisection..."

Nanami walked in, picked up a chip card on the table, popped up the window, and looked at the message inside, her eyes slightly penetrating.

"First attack, then kidnapping, killing, dismantling for money, one trick will be used everywhere. These people will not waste any scraps on people, and will directly take the cyber components and organs that can be dismantled and sold for money." On the black market, the remaining unidentifiable offal is either wholesaled, burned, or thrown out to feed the rats.”

She threw the chip to the ground and crushed it.

"Either as the chip says, some entrepreneur has business with them and buys second-hand implants."

"What do entrepreneurs do with second-hand implants?" Xing Kai asked.

"Install it for the employees. Of course, the employees must pay for it themselves." Nanami raised her eyebrows disdainfully, which reminded her of her childhood living environment: "First let the priceless life become To become priceless, and then use priceless employees to create valuable products, it’s quite punk.”

Xing Kai tried to close the eyelids of the woman's corpse and said to himself: "The player has experienced the train test with dead bodies on the ground, otherwise the average person's psychological endurance will really not be able to bear this."

"[Rescuer], if your guess is correct, your sensitivity to life should have been many times greater than that of ordinary people during your lifetime, right?" Li Nuo asked, opening the cabinet door and taking out the bag containing V.

"On the other hand, [people with residual blood] should have been much less sensitive to life than ordinary people during their lifetime, right?" Xing Kai suddenly paused at this point: "Fuck..."

Li Nuo carried V's bag and placed it on the ground. He unzipped the bag and exposed half of V's cheek.

He placed [Emile's Mask] in front of his face.

【V(Valerie)】

[Level: lv60]

【Strength: 11】

[Reaction: 15]

[Spiritual power: 5]

[Physique: 100]

【Insight: 72】

【Medical: 99】

[Note: Her original value should not be like this, the fluctuation of the value is related to willpower]

Li Nuo put down his mask: "It's V, that's right."

Xing Kai sighed: "I didn't expect that the strongest person in the world...is also a beautiful girl."

Nanami came over, pursed her lips and said, "But... there is a hole in her head..."

V's long hair covered his cheeks covered with dried blood, and his skin was as pale as a dead person.

Li Nuo put his hand under V's neck and could not feel the pulse.

"No...dead?"

"It's okay." Xing Kai squatted on the ground, holding a cigarette and said, "As long as they are not dead, I can save them."

……

outside.

Under the dark clouds, flames intertwined with black flames.

The supporting scavenger troops were blocked at the door by a wisp of beautiful shadow.

Bullets have no effect on her.

Bombs can be dodged by her.

She was toyed with in close combat.

The scavengers felt the desperation of those they dissected.

Cha Bai habitually trampled a scavenger to death with his heel.

She raised her head expressionlessly, pulled out the hammer from the head of the person on the other side, and it was stained with scarlet sticky string. She suddenly started to speed up and smashed the person who had just taken out his mobile phone to call for support to death.

In the distance, Mr. Cairo huddled in Michiko's arms.

"It's so scary...she is indeed the white-haired succubus..."

"What a white-haired succubus, isn't she just a mercenary?" Michiko pushed Cairo-kun away and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't eat me!"

Chabai killed the last scavenger and looked at Cairo-kun and Michiko who were like enemies in the distance.

She casually took off a corner of the body's clothes and wiped the blood from the hammer and heels.

"Beep—Miss Chabai?"

Marger's voice came from the electronic communicator in his head.

"How come you can contact me all of a sudden?"

"Maybe it's because I'm almost under the clouds."

"Under the clouds?"

Cha Bai looked at the sky.

On the gloomy dark clouds, raindrops fell.

"Miss Chabai, Li Nuo can't be contacted. I guess he may be in the underground area. I'm not worried about his safety. He won't be in danger anyway. What I mean is that you stay away from him."

"Further?"

Chabai's eyelids twitched again and again, looking toward the sky uneasily.

"Marjie...what are you going to do?"

"Emergency landing."

After Marger said these four words, the signal was interrupted.

She opened the player-specific map and saw the red dot marked Marger, right above it.

"Oh no……"

She still remembers Li Nuo's evaluation of Ma Ge: If my surprise is ten, Ma Ge's is one hundred million.

Di-

Cha Bai's thoughts were interrupted by a sound that sounded like turning on the rebirth system.

Cha Bai looked at the source of the sound and picked up a signal device from the corpse there.

[The final defense machine - "Adam's Hammer" has been activated]

His eyes were startled.

She immediately took out her cell phone and tried to call Li Nuo, but there was no contact signal in the basement. She opened the player's view again and left a message.

Then, without caring about the existence of the defense machine "Adam's Hammer", he turned to face Mr. Cairo and shouted: "Come with me!"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

With the Mirror Master around, any outrageous development is possible.

She took Cairo Jun and Michiko and strode towards the scavenger's factory.

……

Valerie's dreams were confusing.

After the scavenger's gunshot, she seemed to see a fleeting glimpse of life.

Although her parents died young, the resources Valerie has mastered since she was a child are at a level that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.

She has lived in Charter Hill in Night City since she was a child, which is a wealthy area of ​​Night City.

After graduation, she went to work in Huangban. Completely different from Huangban's corporate dog, Valerie was an alternative in this world.

Be as bold as a wanderer.

As reckless as a street kid.

As savvy as a company dog.

This is the epitome of Valerie.

The contradiction between mind and body later shaped the number one mercenary in Night City, and even the most powerful single "Superman" in the world.

After she entered Arasaka, her initial work location was not in Night City. She was mainly responsible for the intelligence warfare tasks between various companies and Arasaka Company, and then parachuted into the Night City Counter-Intelligence Department.

Being promoted from an ordinary agent to the manager of the Counterintelligence Department requires that she be an extremely ruthless person who kills without batting an eyelid, who pursues status and power by any means necessary to achieve her goals.

Counterintelligence is the espionage war of intelligence collection, which requires a highly flexible mind, ability to navigate dangers, and excellent skills.

But even so, Valerie has always adhered to her own nature.

She has never been contaminated by this dirty world.

Until later...

Valerie still remembers the rumors she heard about David Martinez, a boy who overestimated his abilities, challenged the authority of the company, and finally disappeared into a corner of the world. Who knows what happened to that guy later? , anyway, the result of resisting the company will not be good.

Just like her later.

just like me.

Like me... Valerie - V.

Valerie's subconscious is dark.

She saw a door.

A white light shone from the other side of the door, so dazzling that she couldn't adapt to it for a while.

Valerie wanted to walk over, after all, that was the only place with light.

She passed step by step, step by step.

Even if you know that it may not be a good place, you still want to go there, just like a traveler in the desert. The sewage may cause diarrhea, but if you are thirsty, you will not survive, so who cares about that.

She needs light, needs to drive away the darkness in front of her, needs to break away from the endless darkness of life.

need……

"V."

Valerie turned around and heard a very, very familiar voice.

"Johnny..."

"Damn it, V, look what the hell you are doing!"

She couldn't see Johnny Silverhand, but the rock kid who had blasted Arasaka Tower with a nuclear bomb must be within earshot.

"Johnny...I..."

"V, no... don't give up resistance."

"But...I was beaten by Miles..."

Before she could wait for Johnny Silverhand's response, the memory that existed in Relic 2 had long since disappeared.

"Sure enough...I had nothing in the end."

Valerie walked towards the open door.

When one foot had already stepped into the door, and the light covered half of her body, a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Old Wei..."

She turned her head and saw Mr. Victor's resolute face wearing sunglasses through the light.

"Lao Wei?"

There was a smile on Victor's face, and with a flash of light, his face turned into a lazy man with curly hair and a beard.

"Don't die first."

"V."

Her consciousness was suddenly pulled back into the darkness.

Faintly, she heard the noise coming from reality.

"Hey, Xing Kai, are you okay?"

"Young blooded boy, shut up. Don't you think I'm tired and sweating?"

"Nanami, don't squat across from Xing Kai."

"why?"

"You're wearing a miniskirt!"

"My sweating has nothing to do with it!"

V opened his eyes.

In the blurred vision, three heads hovered in front of the retina.

"This is..." She was confused and felt a severe pain in her head.

Li Nuo laughed wildly and slapped Xing Kai on the back: "Awesome, Xing Kai!"

"I can't do it anymore..." Xing Kai was sweating, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then sat down in the dirty blood on his horn: "The great healing technique consumes too much energy... I'll take a rest... You can do whatever you want."

V blinked his big eyes and stared at Li Nuo and Nanami in front of him.

"I...I am...I remember that I was given by the scavenger..."

"Forget it, I'm not good at lying, so you should do it." Nanami patted Li Nuo's shoulder, stood up and walked towards the folding stool still on the ground.

puff--!

"Ah——! Li Nuo——!"

V looked at Nanami who was dancing, and then turned to Li Nuo doubtfully.

Li Nuo: "V?"

V: "No...Valerie."

Li Nuo shook his head invisibly: "It doesn't matter whether you are V or Valerie, I am looking for you."

"What do you want from me?"

"I need to kill the President of the new United States of America, Rosalind Miles, and get something from her." Lee Nor paused: "The mission is very dangerous, and our group of people have other things to do, so we need to The best mercenaries are here to help us.”

"I need to know why you want to kill Miles." When V said this, it meant that she was tempted.

To be honest, the requirement of the final branch of the "Priest Line" is to kill Miles, but Li Nuo can't say that. After all, it seems too funny to tell an NPC that there is a task panel asking me to kill the president.

"Well, divine punishment."

He gave an even more absurd reason.

The corner of V's mouth trembled, what the hell...

"Miles..." V seemed to have been touched: "I'm sorry...I can't even take care of myself now."

"It doesn't matter." Li Nuo paused for a moment: "V, before I came here, I thought of eleven plans to trick you into helping me, but then I felt that if it was the famous V, then I actually don't need to say anything, what should I do? Do it, you know better than anyone else.”

V is special.

In any script, she is the special one.

Unlike Chabai's original 2B, or most of the protagonists who came from nothing.

This person's soul is imprinted with a spirit of rebellion and an individualism that is incompatible with the world.

Li Nuo had a clear understanding of V in his heart.

monster.

An absolute monster.

In this damn cyber society, everything she does goes against the rules of the game.

For example, a mother raised her child alone. The day before her child graduated, a guy in a suit threw several thousand dollars and left a sentence: I'm sorry, my client drank too much and knocked your daughter to death. Thousand dollars is what I have in mind.

Mother was trembling with anger. The perpetrator was too lazy to come and apologize to you in person, but as a lower-class resident, there was no place to reason. Even if she used strong methods to retaliate, she couldn't find anyone. Until one day, mother found the perpetrator's phone number. The head murderer said that if he was not satisfied, then the mother would be the next several thousand dollars.

She called the police, and the police told her that her life was worth thousands of dollars to understand the rules of this world.

You can almost do it by riding a horse, you are a stupid low-level person.

That's the rule.

A priceless life is still worth at least a few thousand dollars, even if you get lucky.

The mother wants to find justice.

Yes, there is still justice in this world.

She gave all her savings and the money to buy her daughter's life to a middleman.

The middleman said that with such a small amount of money, he could only hire the most awesome fool in the city.

A few hours later, gunfire erupted in the mansion as a platoon of men fought inside.

A few hours later, the mother received the gift she was most looking forward to seeing. A car was parked in front of the house, and the trunk contained the bastard that killed her daughter, tied up like a pig.

"Do you want to do it yourself, or do I give him a shot now, or do I throw him into the sea."

Her name is V.

He is the best mercenary in Night City.

A diligent reporter was thrown into a mental hospital for touching something he shouldn't have touched.

The sister of a street girl was tortured to death by a perverted man and made into a film to sell for money.

Brothers who grew up together were eviscerated by scavengers.

The bottom has no ability to change the status quo, but you can seek help from a person who can bring you justice, and this person truly regards the gang police company as nothing. Her violence alone overrides all weapons, and above her is cyber The true source of all evil in the punk world, beneath her is the morality and fairness pursued by all the people at the bottom.

This is V. Although she always says that she only fights to stay alive, she never minds killing a few scumbags. After all, legends are also passed down by word of mouth.

Therefore, Li Nuo now plans to leave the decision to herself.

It's back to V.

Just keep being Valerie.

"I can't load the implant." V lowered his head and looked at the broken but painfully numb legs: "What can I do?"

For the first time, V carefully looked at the person in front of him.

"I, I remember you...your coffin board." She looked at Li Nuo's weapon box and said, "You are a priest. According to the information... you are the priest who attacked Jiulongli."

"Since you are a priest, there is a way for you to return to your past." When Li Nuo said this, his mind was filled with Marjie's mean face.

He added: "Maybe it will be more powerful."

Suddenly there was a shaking sound in the room, and a chill like a wild beast coming out of its cage swept through the room covered in blood.

The lights on the ceiling began to flicker.

A large amount of white steam spurted out from the pipes in the wall.

"It seems there is a BOSS battle..." Nanami covered her butt and said, "Li Nuo, if I were you, I would pick up the cane now."

"That's it..." Li Nuo's eyes under his helmet were looking at the ceiling, or to be precise, the sky above the factory.

Xing Kai clicked on the player window and said: "The white-haired lady left a message, saying that a robot was activated, Adam Hammer."

V's eyes were stunned: "Adam's Hammer..."

At this moment, the roof was knocked open!

Adam Heavy Hammer, this guy who had been destroyed by Li Nuo's shot but was resurrected, jumped down from above, and he pressed straight down on Nanami directly below.

Boom!

Blood splattered on the ground.

Nanami slid out of the way, staring blankly at the mechanical meat grinder that almost turned her into a pulp.

"Response quickly..." Adam Heavy Hammer raised his eyes with flashing red light: "The intruder must be killed..."

Nanami said: "Li Nuo, I heard from Marger that you shot Adam Hammer to death in 2076."

"He was taken over by military technology and seemed to be resurrected." Li Nuo licked his lips, suddenly pulled V's arm, then shot out silk threads to wrap around Nanami's waist, and shouted: "Stay away, It’s coming suddenly!”

Cha Bai's last message popped up in the window: Marjie is going to airborne, Li Nuo, stay away.

A violent impact in the air swept through the factory!

Pipes, roofs, floors, furniture, experimental equipment, surgical tools, corpses upstairs, a series of things were rolled together by the impact and smashed into the basement!

After the loud noise, the figure of the white robot was imprinted in the dust.

The cabin is open.

"Humph……"

Marger stepped on the Adam's Hammer, which had been smashed into parts, and picked up the guy's head.

"Sorry... I hit the wrong person."

He pulled out [Comrade's Hammer].

With a bang, the heavy hammer's head was smashed into mechanical pieces.

While looking around, Chabai broke in from outside with Cairo-kun and Michiko.

"late……"

Cha Bai panted heavily, not because he was tired, but because he was nervous.

"No, it's okay..."

Li Nuo crawled out from the iron pieces of the ruins and pulled V out smoothly.

"There is [Quen's Seal], it doesn't matter...wait a minute, Cha Bai, where is Nie Chuang?"

Cha Bai covered his mouth: "I forgot, I forgot about the car!"

Xing Kai broke free from the rubble with a head full of blood, and after pulling Nanami out, he couldn't help shouting: "Whose explosives appear like this!"

"Humph..." Marjie explained: "I originally wanted to use Li Nuo's [Quen's Seal] as an air mattress..."

He pointed at the white robot behind him: "A combat robot imitating the Yorha Force. There is a problem with the buffer system, but the good news is that it is very hard, don't you think so, Mr. Victor?"

"Yeah...Brother Ma...you are really sick." Victor was released by Marger using the summoning projection.

The moment V saw Victor, his eyes were dull.

To her who lost her parents when she was young, Victor was like a father.

"Old Wei..."

"Yeah, stay safe, V."

"Ahem..." Li Nuo dusted off the dirt on his body and said as he walked down the slope: "Look, Mr. V and Victor have joined us. Now the choice is up to you."

Nanami blinked in the dizziness from the shock, glanced at Li Nuo, and then at Marjie.

"They said they had no plan...these two people are really heartbroken..."
