As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 244 The Eighth Traveler (1.1W)

night.

In the wild camp.

V was lying on the operating bed, and the recovery test of the implant was just short of the last step. The operation between Marjie and Victor was more complicated, well... we will talk about it later.

She looked at Victor, who was connecting her implant, and asked, "Lao Wei, where have you been all these years?"

"Me..." Mr. Victor still wore his sunglasses and would not take them off even in the dark: "Yeah, where did I go?"

"I..." V thought for a while and said: "I have been looking for news about you over the years. Since Night City was acquired by Military Technology, I only received one message from you, saying that you had gone to the company, and they I forced you to go there... Later I asked someone I knew to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Also, Jack and Misty have settled in Europe since they left Night City in 2076. Jack's The guy even called me.”

She imitated the voice of her best friend and said: "Hi, sister, how are you doing lately? I have good news for you. Misty and I already have a baby. If it's a boy, let's call him Vincent. If it's a girl, we'll call him Vincent." , how about you come up with a name."

She had endless words to say: "Jack said he wanted to come and see me. Damn, let me tell you, Lao Wei, I refused at that time. I told Jack that after finally leaving the big dyeing vat of Night City, why do you still want to When I came back, I said that I was living a good life. I used to be a dull corporate dog, but now I am a corporate dog of military technology. I said that I was a legendary mercenary. I said that I have been cooperating with military technology for these years. I said that I am old Wei, you are also very good, I said, I, Lao Wei, where have you been all these years?"

Mr. Victor was silent, his fingers constantly helping V adjust her implant.

He is Victor.

He's not Victor either.

If Marger hadn't upgraded the projector that summoned him, he would be nothing more than an image without substantial life.

But now, he needs to be the real Mr. Victor, not to help Li Nuo and Marger.

Victor looked at V.

"I just walked around to help you get back to this day."

"Lao Wei... these years..."

"Okay, kid, close your eyes and take a nap, and then our famous V will be back."

"Really, will you come back?"

"Yes, kid, I have seen many, many obstacles that are almost impossible to overcome, but there are always people who can overcome them again and again, and you are the same."

V closed his eyes.

This was the first time in so many years that she felt truly at ease.

Victor was a father to her.

Which child doesn't like to hear comfort from his parents.

From 2077 to 2085, eight years have passed.

"Lao Wei, how much longer will it take?"

"Half an hour is enough, V."

……

Half an hour later.

V faced the mirror and stared hard at his face reflected in the mirror.

"Where did Lao Wei get this kind of technology..."

When she was picked up by military technology, she originally planned to undergo an operation to eliminate the brain death caused by the relic chip, but Miles did something to turn V's body into a useless person who could not load the implant.

After all, she is too strong.

As a president, I can't let this kind of person stay so powerful, but I can't let her die either, just in case she is useful in the future.

But the problem is, V saved Miles.

In the cyber world, this is not considered repaying kindness with hatred, it can only be said to be a normal operation of capital.

Marger re-edited the "artificial human integrated into the core" that remained in the space according to Cha Bai's code, and asked Victor to load it into V's body.

Anyway, there is no difference between humans and artificial humans with implants all over their bodies.

V still cannot load a large number of implants.

But simple bionic skeletons and time-stop systems can be installed.

Coupled with the fact that the android's system comes with magic factors, she may be even stronger now than before.

The only problem is...the hair turns gray.

"So be it……"

She turned her head.

Go to the iron door leaving the room.

When she put her hand on the doorknob, she gently closed her eyes and took a deep breath...

Body manipulation.

Force feedback.

Feel the return of abilities in all aspects.

After not using force for too long, the Living King of Hell no longer knows how to use his own power.

But it doesn't matter, V knows that as long as there is a target, the old self can come back.

Open the door.

Light rain and breeze are wandering in the air.

The moon reflected in the puddles seemed to have been stepped on by her feet.

"congratulations."

Standing at the door was Michiko.

"Where are the priests and the others?" V asked.

"Those guys provoked the military technology people." Michiko took out a tablet, and the big faces of Li Nuo and Marjie were on the screen.

"Oh~ It's turned into a Yoroha!" Li Nuo exclaimed.

"Nonsense, I debugged the code!" Marger rushed to ask: "Miss V, are you interested in joining my cult?"

V was stunned: "What, what the hell?"

On the other side of the screen, Cha Bai grabbed Marjie and pulled him away, leaving only Li Nuo.

"Sorry~" Li Nuo said with a smile: "There is danger over there in the factory, and we dare not take you away. How is the situation now?"

"Yeah, good." V asked, "Did you kill Miles?"

"Would you like to tell me how your life has changed since 2077?" Li Nuo asked.

"Nothing... I was just fired from the company, and then an acquaintance introduced me to be a mercenary. I met a middleman named Ronald who said there was a big deal. Then I had a... rock kid..."

V kept talking.

Li Nuo probably understood that, simply put, Mirror Master replaced the identities of certain characters in the original plot, making things happen that might not have happened otherwise.

For example, the big deal that V originally talked about was led by her friend Jack Wells. Jack was transported to Europe by a travel ticket from Marger in 2076. Mirror Master simply replaced Jack and a middleman. effect.

"Then it was... Dog Town. I remember, I originally wanted to send a hacker that Miles was looking for to the moon. But somehow, I didn't know what happened. Suddenly I heard... a strange sound in my head. When I woke up, At that time, Miles said that I handed the hacker to her. Anyway, I helped Miles by accident, and twice. The first time was Dog Town, and Miles was besieged. I saved that bitch’s life.”

"Grass……"

"Miles promised to cure my disease, but I don't believe in military technology or the new United States of America, because I know what the company is like, so when I knew my head was going to be ruined, I gave Arasaka Tower to It’s served.”

"one person."

she emphasized.

"And then...I became a fucking living legend until that Ronald came to me again."

Li Nuo snatched the words: "Then he made you become Miles' experimental subject and stripped you of your qualifications to install implants. By the way, Miles asked Li De to help sell a favor and arranged for you to be used in the military as a waste. Technology, again, is the corporate dog.”

V nodded: "Absolutely, that's it."

"I understand." Li Nuo said, "I have a commission. I need to kill Miles. The root purpose is to punish the devil."

"Damn it, man, do you priests really believe in demons?"

"How else can you explain your life?"

V is silent.

"Are you willing?" Li Nuo asked.

V stared at Li Nuo's amber pupils behind the screen.

"This account between Miles and I should have been settled long ago."

"Deal, Miss Michiko knows the route to the Presidential Palace very well, she is also the middleman." Li Nuo turned his head slightly in Michiko's direction and shouted: "Please, Miss Michiko, don't forget that I hid the scavenger." I’ve given all the money to you!”

Michiko curled her lips sadly: "Scheming... forget it, you gave me a lot anyway."

"Do you have any other instructions?" V asked.

"There is a mobile phone (stolen) in Michiko's car. Take it and I will contact you at any time." Li Nuo asked: "Well... is it okay to be alone?"

V smiled and said: "Ha, it's not like I've never done this kind of thing before."

It was convenient to talk to a guy with strong willpower like V, so Li Nuo cursed and turned off the communication.

"Ah... you're unlucky. Although you're given a lot, it's still a dangerous job." Michiko said, "I know you are the famous V, but please don't reveal your relationship with me in this matter. And , I am only responsible for leading the way, you can do the rest yourself."

"Where are the weapons?" V asked.

"Here..." Mr. Victor came out of the house holding a big bag: "These are all things left by Brother Ma."

Pistols, submachine guns, tactical rifles, shotguns, melee weapons, grenades, and even throwing knives.

The only regret is that there is no Johnny Silverhand Malorian.

Michiko interrupted her recollection and said, "Let's go, Miles is not too far from here."

V touched his cheek, feeling the body temperature that was coming back to life again, and turned around and asked: "Old Wei, when will we meet next?"

Mr. Victor said: "You can muster up the courage and come to me."

"As expected..." V smiled bitterly: "I'm leaving, Lao Wei."

She turned around and followed Michiko.

During the conversation with Victor, V could roughly feel that this was not the Victor she knew.

From 2077 to 2085, how could someone not change at all in such a long time?

But before she got in the car, she looked back at Victor who was standing under the light watching her leave.

"Thank you, Lao Wei."

"Have a nice trip, V."

"You too, have a happy life."

……

[Eight travelers have gathered]

[Main mission update]

[Please wait for 30 minutes]

field.

Several people gathered behind a certain hill, and Cha Bai placed a magic "wind shelter" to reduce the heat of their bodies, at least to hide them for a while.

Li Nuo touched his chin and looked at his task panel.

[The final chapter of the priest line, the last choice]

[You have obtained the blueprint chip of the "Toxin Editor", kill Miles and take out the inner eye from her body]

[This incident has been handed over to V for processing]

[The ending of the priest line is postponed]

[Tip: Miles’ inner eye can open the passage to the dreamland of Night City]

Letting V do this was the safest and most secure solution that Li Nuo could come up with in a short period of time.

President Miles is about 330 kilometers away from here. If V fails, he needs to consider going to the president quickly and take advantage of the other party's chaos to kill Miles with force, but that will consume a lot of time.

Now affected by unknown factors, the time given by the system is confusing.

According to his own calculations, there are still 20 hours before Mirror Master's restrictions are completely lifted.

"It's enough time..."

To be on the safe side, Li Nuo compiled a message about the "Inner Eye" and sent it to V.

"What's going on with Adam's Hammer?" Marjie asked suddenly.

"That's not Adam Hammer." Li Nuo recalled the scene of exhuming Adam Hammer's body a few hours ago: "I found Adam Hammer's body from the ruins. He turned into an... ordinary human corpse. It was different. The thing is, there is a strange mark on the body, which should be the masterpiece of the Mirror Master. He can turn any living thing into something else imaginable, which is considered a genius."

After Li Nuo finished speaking, he looked up and looked at the special flying armor for the Yoroha unit brought over by Marger and fell into confusion.

"The Yorha Force flying armor is a robot that looks like a human body and is about 2.8 meters tall. It can carry a person inside, load energy cannons, machine guns, and can also transform into a small aircraft... right?"

"Do you have any questions?" Marger asked.

"Yeah~ I understand, because of the short time, insufficient resources, and limited technical capabilities, you can't create a perfectly restored type." Li Nuo smiled empathetically, then pointed at the flying armor and asked: "You Can you tell me why this thing has your cartoon avatar on the crotch?"

"Oh, that's a grenade launcher..."

"Old Ma, to be honest, it's okay."

"I originally wanted to make a spinning cannon, but I didn't succeed because it was connected to the circuit board and the magic element extraction system, so I didn't know how to remove it."

Li Nuo smiled and lightly tapped the other person's head: "Are you sick?"

"You're not sick!" Marjie held up the [Toxin Editor] blueprint chip that Li Nuo handed over an hour ago, and couldn't help shouting: "You destroyed the entire Kowloon for this thing!"

Li Nuo: "The Nine Dragons was destroyed by the saliva demon summoned by Master Mirror. It has nothing to do with me."

Marger: "Are you a plague god?"

Li Nuo: "Shit can spread the plague."

Marjie: "I'm your father!"

Li Nuo: "You admit that you are shit!"

Nanami looked at her from afar: "These two lunatics..."

"Humph..." Marjie was speechless and changed the subject: "I saw Blue Eyes. I didn't ask any more questions. You also know that Mr. Blue Eyes is a group of AI consciousnesses and they don't want to answer my question." Sometimes it will disconnect itself from the Internet.”

"What about the rest?"

"No more." Marger said: "At the end of the scholar line, I got an eyeball from Mr. Blue Eyes, and I need Miss Chabai's gem."

Li Nuo took out the gem Cha Bai got from his pocket.

Women are naturally sensitive to luminous objects such as gems. Chabai, who was sitting in the distance, looked sideways and saw that she originally wanted to leave some space for the two Yinbi to communicate personally, but thinking that they might be talking about serious things, she got up and walked away with cat steps. past.

The gems and eyeballs are automatically combined the moment they come into contact.

【Eye of Border Prison】

[Plot Items]

[Brief description: A naughty player left something with blue eyes. This thing was regarded as waste by Mr. Blue Eyes. In fact, it can be regarded as an eye from hell. It needs to be synthesized with the gems of hell to become Find something that can "find the true location of the Mirror Master"]

Marger: "What do you mean?"

Li Nuo: "Mirror Master's real body is somewhere in the dreamland of Night City."

Chabai thought of the little mechanical girl who gave her the gem...it turned out to be a creature from the border prison...

The celestial sphere intersection fragments brought by the Cairo Stars have more or less affected the changes in this world. The creatures in the Border Prison may also have come from there...

If you are familiar with the setting of "Octopath Traveler", you will definitely be familiar with the title "Border Prison".

hell.

Huangquan.

The place where the devil is imprisoned.

The more Cha Bai thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine. Sooner or later Master Mirror would use the intersection of heaven and earth to find Li Nuo, and he would find the weak Li Nuo in reality.

"What's wrong?" Li Nuo waved his hand in front of Cha Bai's eyes.

"Arrange the props and the like and get ready," Cha Bai said.

The three of them had no hesitation. Li Nuo had also been waiting for Marjie to return. Just as the staff was in place, everyone sorted things out.

The first thing is to have something on hand that you can still use.

Li Nuo still has a lot of trump cards.

First of all, the [Summoning Magic Crystal] can still be used. The last time the moogle was summoned, the magic power consumed was not much, and it can be used again by injecting crystal magic power again.

At least it can be used once.

The Vampire Dragon has two more chances to appear. Since the nearby time fluctuates due to unknown reasons, it can be speculated that the time it can summon assistance is still more than half an hour.

Chabai carries [Pixel Raw Stone], and feeding the vampire dragon can turn it into a pixelated dragon lady.

Marger basically didn't consume anything here.

In fact, except for Li Nuo, the quest line process for other players is not bumpy.

The key props in Marco's hand are still the "magic" thermal weapons and the combat mechas brought from the moon.

Of course...there's no need to mention things like mechanical cults.

The final reward skill of the scholar line is "Great Magical Transformation", which requires burning all energy to release, giving the "mage" a chance to magically leapfrog.

It was equivalent to him and Cha Bai being able to perform a combined skill.

The other is [Technology Comprehension], a skill related to mechanical creation. Again, manufacturing takes time. In the limited time, he can only make a flying mecha of Yorha Force, a twenty-five-round "warhammer" "World view bullets, a personal sniper rifle.

On Cha Bai's side, time is too short and magic power development is still stuck. The final skill of the Thief line [Skill Stealing] is the key.

The effect is: the moment the opponent takes action, if it is determined to be a skill, you can match the attribute value and use it, and the character's strength is not far greater than yours, then you can steal the skill until the end of the script. Each script can only be used once. It's equivalent to a [low-quality Book of Brigades] that doesn't require killing people.

What Li Nuo cares about is "ancient blood".

"Step by step... whether it's the blood of the ancients or Dana Mebi's magic, it's all slowly understood..." Chabai's explanation made him feel helpless: "I only know that the magic of the elven sages can deal with The demon caused a blow, but I don't know how effective it is for the Mirror Master. As for the 'Ancient Blood', I can try to release all the magic power, which may cause the effect of the space being affected for a short time, but I may not be able to sustain it. Live... I don’t know, do you want to try it now?”

She tried it in space. Due to the special nature of space, the magic power that affects time and space cannot achieve the imagined effect in space.

"Well... No, it's not necessary."

Li Nuo didn't make any plans in his mind, after all, the guy was watching not far away.

"By the way, what are you doing with the ticket?" Marger picked up the "Final Fantasy" train ticket that Li Nuo placed on the ground.

"Occupy a slot." Li Nuo took the ticket back and put it back in the backpack slot: "Okay, next step, take a look... the guild rewards."

Guild battle rewards.

The first is [Player Check].

There are two features: summoning the train at the end of the scenario to restart in another scenario, giving players who are unable to complete the main line a chance to start over; or an opportunity for everyone to upgrade.

Li Nuo had already thought about it.

"It's not a separate team battle mission. Upgrading is of little significance. Keep it and don't use it for the time being."

The other two had no objection.

The second guild reward is [Special Skills of Dead Players].

After clicking it, a prompt appeared:

[In the guild confrontation, the top three with the highest contribution will get a chance to extract skills]

[The extraction method is to select a dead player from the opposing camp, and then take out a certain skill of that player (the skill will disappear), and the skill will be randomly transformed into an ability that suits you]

[The extent of the reward drawn is determined based on the contribution value of the battle]

[Extraction order, arranged according to contribution]

[In this guild competition, the full contribution score is 100]

[Player 5900: 94 points]

[Player 5950: 5.8 points]

[Player 5899: 0.2 points]

The equipment made by Marger has bonus points.

But in the final analysis, in the match against the "Arctic Circle" guild, Li Nuo almost wiped out most of the guild by himself, which was much more powerful than wiping out a team of pre-level 25 players.

And this is when the other party is completely taking advantage of the situation.

Street fighting between buildings is one of the ways to defeat the strong with the weak.

Li Nuo had the [Book of Inferior Travelers] and knew all the skills of the opponent's killed player, so he immediately chose the skill of "Chasu" [50%].

As Toguro Rodi's move, even if it cannot be permanently learned, it can be summoned at any time by putting it in the "Inferior Brigade Book".

But he couldn't use it.

The medical value requirement for this move is 45.

But being able to use this trick in exchange for permanently mastering a skill of the same price is worth it to him.

[The skill "Same Life" has been extracted] 　　　 Li Nuo subconsciously covered his forehead: "Ah..."

[Whether to activate the title skill "Misfortune Transfer" and draw it again]

"Hey?"

He just found out that the skill of his new title [Script Breaker] also has this effect.

"Speaking of which, I have two opportunities to 'transfer doom'."

"smoke."

"You two stay away from me."

Li Nuo told him that after the "Transfer of Doom" ends, he will be struck by lightning.

So he got a [Seal of Quen] in advance.

[The skill "Unyielding" has been extracted]

Li Nuo had a bad feeling.

【unyielding】

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: After death, the player will be resurrected, and the player's attack will be increased by 25% and defense by 25%, lasting for 50 minutes, and can be stacked twice]

[Brief description: You have to be resurrected first]

Li Nuo's face turned gloomy.

He didn't even know how to spit it out.

Considering the importance of "doom transfer", he decided...

"Let's learn first and then talk."

[Whether to activate the title skill "Misfortune Transfer" and draw it again]

"Not learn."

[To learn or not to learn]

Li Nuo sneered: "The system is very naughty."

Marjie replied: "You are quite naughty."

Li Nuo: "Learn."

In fact, it's good to be more open-minded about some things. Take Li Nuo's "bricks" that can spare a self-built house. In a sense, at least [Unyielding] must be really useful and can support a lot of people. Level 2 [Remaining Blood Person].

Dark clouds flashed in the sky, and a thunder swept across the earth!

Li Nuo's two layers of [Quen's Seal] were all crushed to pieces, and within a second he was standing in the smoking scorched earth with a dazed look on his face.

"It's so powerful..."

Mr. Cairo looked over from a distance: "He was finally struck by lightning."

Nanami: "Sooner or later."

A person who can live in harmony with everyone and make everyone feel that he should be struck by lightning is also considered a skill...

"Next is me..." Cha Bai opened the panel.

Li Nuo suggested that what she extracted was the ability of the invader Xu Nian, the super power of the "Mass Effect" series.

"No..." Cha Bai shook his head invisibly: "Although your brigade book has taken away part of Xu Nian's space magic, I still need it."

[The skill "Skill Takeover" has been extracted]

[Skill baton]

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: Transfer your skills to your teammates. After the transfer, you will permanently lose the skills. You can use them once a month in the real world, once a month in the scenario world, and once every half a month in the space]

[Brief description: Remember, the person being transported must meet the conditions for using transmission skills]

"Hmm~"

Cha Bai is very satisfied.

Li Nuo didn't know what she was satisfied with. This was far from superior magic.

"Humph, it's my turn." Marjie said confidently.

"If you didn't contribute, it wouldn't be another [Shit Block] skill, would it?" Li Nuo couldn't help but sigh.

Brother Ma ignored him.

[The skill "Fart" has been extracted]

【fart】

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: That... Anyway, it consumes some physical energy and can be used continuously... Whether you use it or not depends on your interest]

[Brief description: Poof——————————————————————————! 】

When Li Nuo saw this skill, he didn't even want to bury Marjie. He looked at him with pitiful eyes and said, "You are really destined to go into the water..."

Marger said: "Let me tell you about the [Poison Editor]."

Li Nuo asked: "Do you want to change the subject?"

"The blueprints in this chip are easy to make, but they need your blood, Li Nuo." Marjie completely ignored Li Nuo, picked up the tablet from the ground, inserted the chip, showed the window to them, and said : "I'll make a long story short, this thing is a thing that is specifically designed to target the Ancient God Code. In other words, it is very similar to Li Nuo's Black Order Outfit, and it is resistant to the Whispering Curse."

Li Nuo became serious: "This thing... is something that President Miles requested to study. What is its purpose..."

Marger: "Do you have any ideas about the connection between Mirror Master and this matter?"

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Master Mirror has been studying the affairs of the ancient gods, and I feel that he should be framed by the ancient gods and the like."

"It's not as simple as you said." Xing Kai came over with a can of beer, took a sip, burped, and said, "I have a friend who once said about the rules of the world."

When Cha Bai saw an outsider coming, he subconsciously sat far away.

She is not good at dealing with unfamiliar people.

Xing Kai sat on a stone, put his hands on his knees, hunched over with a lazy expression, and said: "For example, we come from "Cairo Game World", which is relatively low-end in the 'Corridor' This is a kind of rule. A world with high rules is similar to the world view of "Street Fighter", "King of Fighters" or "Ninja Dragon". That is, the upper and lower limits are high, and civilians can dismantle them with bare hands after practicing. Room, a master can even kill the devil with a knife."

Xing Kai looked at Mr. Cailuo who was cleaning the pixel hammer at the side.

"The rules of our world are very strange. The lower limit is low and the upper limit is high. Fortunately, Mr. Cairo is the kind of creature that prefers 'peace'. If a Mirror Master comes, think about the consequences."

Marger looked towards the direction of the cabin where Mr. Victor and V were before, and speculated: "So, if the rules of Mirror Master are placed in a Cthulhu or fantasy worldview..."

Xing Kai continued: "He will be the one who abides by the rules."

"That makes sense..." Li Nuo rubbed his chin: "Mirror cares about the rules of the 'Old God' very much. He cares about them very much in the world of "The Witcher". He wants to re-formulate and get back the rules he made himself. Power, this is the original intention of the Mirror Master."

He looked to the side, and the Mirror Master sitting not far away flashed past.

"But it seems that he misestimated his own strength. In a world like "The Witcher" where he can kill elven sages with bows and arrows, he is a god. In a world like "Cyberpunk" where he relies on implants, In a world where one's physical ability can exceed the upper limit of the human body, he is also a god, but in "Bloodborne", who are you?"

Li Nuo's last sentence was asking the Mirror Master.

"Who are you talking to?" Marger asked, feeling something was wrong.

Li Nuo shook his head invisibly: "Xing Kai, that friend of yours is a [critical person], right?"

Xing Kai said: "One of that guy's abilities is prophecy. He has been to "The Witcher", and your hat is the equipment he and Geralt exchanged."

Li Nuo held the felt hat in his hand and asked with a smile: "Did he predict the outcome of this incident?"

"Heh..." Xing Kai laughed.

Li Nuo's eyes narrowed into slits.

"understood."

"It's fixed!" Mr. Cairo rushed over excitedly, holding up the pixel hammer in his hand: "I found a useful piece of garbage! Look!"

The depression was suddenly diluted by this mascot.

[Cairo Memory Repair Hammer]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Based on the impression of the person being smashed, an avatar is generated. This avatar can be summoned at any time and will appear in times of danger, but it can only continue to fight for 10 seconds]

[Note: You need to have a connection with the Cairo clan to use it (such as interstellar hunters or Cairo Jun’s branch race)]

[Brief description: Stand-in]

Mr. Cairo asked: "Which of you has ever concluded a contract with our Cairo planet?"

Everyone’s expressions were blank.

Li Nuo consciously took the hammer. He had it.

He has Uncle Cairo...

After knocking himself, a cartoon image of a four-eyed boy appeared on his palm...

"This, huh?"

Marjie came over and said, "Isn't this Sauron?"

Xing Kai touched the stubble on his chin and narrowed his eyes: "I seem to have heard this person's name...did he kill some group of intruders alone..."

"The summoning method is called 'dog whistle'." Li Nuo said, then nodded: "Yes, dog whistle."

"How obsessed are you with him..." Xing Kai couldn't help but ask.

"An old rival." Marjie answered for Li Nuo, and then asked: "Cairo, do you have any other props? Bring out whatever you can."

"There is an accelerating hammer." Mr. Cairo took out a green pixel hammer from the groove of his butt: "The other things are all in Night City. Upgrading hammers and other things. I have another one. I can use it once. Who are you? Want to upgrade? But let me say this first, you need to charge the hammer to upgrade, and it is best to wait for another four or five hours."

"The sun won't come out for four or five hours, right?" Nanami pointed to the clouds that were drizzling. The moonlight passed through the thick clouds strangely, and sparsely gave some glimmer of light to the ground.

"The sun is the moon, the moon is the sun, is there any difference?" Cairo Jun's philosophy left everyone speechless.

Li Nuo lowered his head.

He remembered the prophetic dream the hat had brought.

——In ruins.

——The Mirror Master stood in front of him.

He looked at his palm.

—— Sauron was lying on the ground.

"The precognitive dream is slowly coming true..."

Li Nuo's eyelids drooped.

Cha Bai sat not far away and looked at him, his blue eyes filled with uneasiness.

Not far away, a car drove up the road, its lights shining on the road and illuminating the falling raindrops.

Cha Bai looked over: "Here he comes."

The noisy noise stopped.

Everyone's eyes were on that car.

Two company employees in black suits got out of the car, with military technology logos on their clothes.

A woman with long hair and a mask stepped out from the back seat of the car.

The same black suit, but both arms are robotic arms.

The two employees who got off the bus first walked towards the players. One of them took out his ID: "Military Technology, we are looking for someone."

The woman walked over, pulled out her gun, and pulled the trigger on the two people in front of her.

Two silent shots from the silenced pistol.

Not much blood was spilled into the puddles on the ground.

After the two people fell to the ground, the woman rushed down with her gun and fired a few more shots.

Then take off the mask.

"It will be easy for me to find you..."

Sumei.

There are obvious traces of implants on her face, and her neck has been transformed into a mechanical bionic skin.

In the player window, Su Mei has already mentioned the time to get here.

"Sorry, I'm late. My line serves Miles. It would be a lot of trouble to come over."

"Is everyone gathered together?" Xing Kai waved his hand: "This is our first serious meeting, Xing Kai."

"I've heard that [The Rescuer] is famous." Su Mei smiled: "What about Li Nuo?"

She looked left and right.

Although it was rumored that Li Nuo was not what she imagined, but to be honest...she really wanted to see what the ancient god's face was like.

"Ah, here it is." Li Nuo sat on the bench (not a folding stool) and said hello.

Su Mei was stunned.

pretty……

There is just a scar on the face, which is a bit inconsistent.

But it wasn't the ancient god's face that she suddenly wanted to see.

"Isn't it about the ancient god's face..."

Nanami crossed her arms across her chest, eyes blank: "People change..."

"Now that we're all here... let's get down to business..." Su Mei looked at Mr. Cairo who was giggling for some reason, her throat rolling: "So cute... Well, I, I was ordered by Miles to be one of her bodyguards. One, he underwent a lot of body modifications, and after the mission line ended..."

She took out a chip: "I found such a strange box that can't be opened at all."

She took out a simple, exquisite box with European carvings from the grid of her backpack.

——Swordsman Line, Miles's Cyborg Corps, needs to start from the black market fighting arena, step by step climb to the position of the president's bodyguard, accept the transformation, and finally need to make a choice, destroy a team of wanderers, or betray the president .

"The swordsman line and the pharmacist line are linked. Do you have the key to crack it?"

Xing Kai nodded and took out the chip recording the secret key.

——Pharmacist Line, a doctor among the homeless, who rescued a group of homeless people who were cleared by military technology in the wild. The source of this secret key was one of the previous Miles' personal bodyguards.

When the two things come together, the box opens.

Inside the box, there is a note.

【Dream Entrance Ticket】

[Plot Items]

[Brief description: Entrance tickets can carry up to eight people, and the entrance is located in the Watson District of Night City]

"There are more or less connections between each line."

Su Mei took out the bill and looked at the group of players around her.

Everyone talked about it in the player chat window.

In addition to the above-mentioned connection between the swordsman and the medicine man, there are also connections between the other two pairs.

……

Scholar Line: Researching scientific documents from another world, including a thing called "turbid gem", which Mr. Blue Eyes considered to be a violation of the scientific oath, and finally found one in an underground base on the moon. The mad scholar, after defeating him, got a chip with the name "Border Prison" on it. With the help of the "player", this scholar once summoned a "demon"-like creature, a mechanical small machine, from the Border Prison. girl.

Thief Line: Rescuing a little mechanical girl, starting from stealing the child's prosthetic eye, and finally facing a choice, let the girl go, or hand her over to military technology. No matter which one you choose, you will get a gem with different uses. That’s all.

……

Dancer Line: Chase a businessman from Night City. This businessman has dealt with the legends of Night City. He claims to be from a fantasy world. Before 2076, he was dragged to the cyberspace due to the intersection of the celestial sphere. punk.

Hunter Line: Legends of Night City V hunts President Miles.

……

Finally, there are two people targeted by the Mirror Master.

Priest Line: The story Li Nuo and the Cairo Stars have to tell.

Merchant Line: The story that Star Cairo and Li Nuo have to tell.

……

Even the somewhat idiotic Nanami saw the problem: "It seems like a story can be strung together..."

Su Mei said: "The connection between Xing Kai and I is the conflict between the Rangers, President Miles and military technology."

Players are like this, and they will habitually start to ponder the hidden content of the script.

Most of the time, there is no result.

Nanami said: "The mission is to defeat the Mirror Master... If you follow the main line, you should have the answer, right?"

Xing Kai shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard to say."

"Hey! Are you talking about the demon in Night City?" Mr. Cairo's mouth turned into cartoon wavy lines: "Let's change the topic..."

Everyone was silent.

At this time, a flash of blue firelight illuminated the wilderness.

They looked over.

Li Nuo is making a decoction with Canghuo.

"It's strange...why can't I get over it..."

He held the book "Arzu's Alchemy" and kept flipping through it.

"Do you think it's strange? This guy usually uses his brain more than anyone else..." Nanami raised her eyes and asked, "Li Nuo, do you have any ideas?"

"What do you think?" Li Nuo asked.

"Every quest line about the traveler..." Nanami paused for a moment: "Will it have anything to do with defeating the Mirror Master?"

"Oh."

Li Nuo turned around, half of his face illuminated by the blue flames overflowing from both sides of the iron pot.

"The four lines propose four keywords, Edge Prison, Miles, Legend, and Mirror Master. Together, they help Miles use the power of legend and fantasy to fight against the Mirror Master from Edge Prison. If we replace Meyer Si, it becomes that players have to use the power of legend and fantasy to fight against the Mirror Master from the border prison. The key point is that including me, Cha Bai and Su Mei’s quest line will have a branch to please Miles and military technology. , in short, it should be an option with pros and cons. If you choose a more complicated one, it will definitely trigger other branch tasks with side details."

He paused, took a sharp breath, and continued:

"Cha Bai and Marjie's props [Eye of the Border] are obviously telling us that Master Mirror has a body that is suppressed deep in the dream."

"Then there is the [Dreamland Entrance Ticket], the ticket to enter the dreamland."

"Nanami has a map. That thing should be the storage location of certain key things inside the dream. The 'inner eye' in Miles' body can activate the map. We need to kill her after V kills her."

"I haven't finished this line yet. [Toxin Editor] is most likely a kind of 'talisman' that can offset the negative effects of the whispers of the ancient gods. It has a great effect in dreams. As for the connection with Mr. Cairo... I can't think of it. .”

Su Mei felt a little haggard when she heard this: "He is really good at thinking..."

"Haha, who says it's not the case?" Xing Kai asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, the initiator of this problem actually comes from Li Nuo, right?"

Li Nuo: "Yes, I have caused trouble for everyone."

"I see you... don't seem to care about being implicated?" Xing Kai looked at Nanami, Su Mei, and even Marjie, except Cha Bai.

Nanami: "He saved my life, and it is only natural that he should give me his life back."

Su Mei nodded: "Same."

Marjie: "Don't look at me, we are on the same team."

Xing Kai asked: "What is the ability of [the one with residual blood]?"

Li Nuo: "Escape from desperate situations."

"It's so simple..."

"That's it. Reality just shines into the corridor."

"Then may I think that treating you as the core can solve the problem of prophetic dreams?"

"The prophetic dream of [Critical One]... Ha, I can't stand that kind of pressure." Li Nuo paused and said, "But if the transaction is equal, you can give it a try."

"Then let's do this." Xing Kai said, "Are you willing to leave your lives to me?"

"What are you talking about?" Nanami was confused and found it incomprehensible.

"I am the [Rescuer], and my ability to control life is far beyond that of ordinary players."

The corners of Xing Kai's mouth quirked up:

"Do you dare to give it a try?"
