As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 248 Demon

Two minutes before Adam Hammer was shot.

Cross the corner of Night City.

As the road extends and goes behind the tall buildings, a path belonging to the Nilfgaard Empire occupies the original world.

This is like an illusion generated by digitalization.

The surrounding buildings began to get shorter little by little, from the modernity and neon of Night City, to Novigrad in the Steam Age, and finally stopped at Kaer Morhen in the Middle Ages.

Marger crashed into a house in a Yorha Mecha.

"Damn... the buffer system still doesn't work."

He patted the dirt on his head, and the gravel turned into blue dust in the air, blooming in the moonlight.

There are not many people here. If you look at the map carefully, you will find that the surrounding scene arrangement has shifted.

In other words, the direction towards the sealing point is already in another special dream state that only exists in Gunter Odim's memory.

Marj comes out of the room.

"No signal."

He tried to connect to the network system in his electronic brain, and there was only a "sizzling" sound of electricity flowing through him.

Once you step into the illusion of Novigrad, everything related to technology loses touch.

The sorceress rode her hammer across the night sky and landed lightly beside him.

Chabai shook his clothes, looked at the familiar "Yoroha aircraft", and curled his lips: "Yoroha's mecha is still faster."

"Huh, after all, my bones and blood have been injected into it." Marger said something that was misleading, and then asked in a different direction: "Miss Chabai... When you killed Adam Hammer just now, it seemed that you were even more powerful than before? "

"Because of [Focuser]." Chabai released the panel.

[Negative effect: If the activation time exceeds 24 hours, the more dangerous your teammates are. Every time a teammate dies, shout "Athena" and you will get a chance to randomly increase all attributes]

Every time Marger looked at the panel of "Focuser", he would feel the words "protagonist" blurring his face.

"It only counts if it's turned on for 24 hours."

"The total time is 24 hours. The total time I have turned on is 27 hours and 15 minutes." Chabai explained: "I tried calling 'Athena' when I was looking for you."

Then her little universe exploded...

[Chabai: lv40]

[Strength: 66+30]

[Reaction: 96+22]

[Spiritual power: 132+26]

[Physique: 201+13]

[Insight: 83+17]

【Medical: 42+20】

Note: After the plus sign is the increase attribute.

Statistically speaking, she has been promoted to at least 9 levels in a row.

Marger: "What else do you...do you have that is useless?"

Cha Bai glanced at it and said: "In the case of death, there will definitely be an accident, which will prevent me from dying, and there will also be the [Devil Eye of Direct Death]."

So awesome... Marco has the feeling that he will always be a clown if he pretends to be cool in front of her.

So he changed the topic again and said seriously: "Miss Chabai, do you still have time to change your clothes?"

Cha Bai changed into another piece of clothing.

After all, after completing so many tasks, the title [Wardrobe] can obtain various MOD clothing or forcefully synthesize clothing.

"Well... the entries and performance of this one are better."

A backless black dress with one side slit to the thigh, black leggings, black boots, and a black eye mask.

If this outfit were worn by black people, it would constitute perfect racial discrimination.

【Witch's Long Clothes】

There is an entry on the effect that can increase the speed of magic recovery. The backless outfit is to make it easier to activate the mantis cannon on the back.

That's it.

"Speaking of which..." His brown-white eyes stared ahead at the witcher's fortress "Kaer Morhen" that had fallen a hundred years ago. His eyes were dull: "Why is the final location of the sealed mirror the witcher's..."

Marger knew the answer at the first glance: "Because Gunter O'Dimm's most famous failure was done by a demon hunter, and his most embarrassing plot was done by your demon hunter."

Cha Bai pursed his lips, and Ma Ge naughtily used "your demon hunter".

She thought about it.

"But when Li Nuo died, you rushed faster than anyone else."

"Humph……"

"In your words, your behavior is called tsundere?"

"So I prefer A2 to 2B..."

"I understand, I understand." Cha Bai took out the [Summoning Magic Crystal].

"Use it now?"

"No, wait a minute, prepare it first." Chabai held the [Magic Crystal] with his left robotic hand, controlled the floating hand, and buried his arm in the haystack.

Making preparations for combat in advance was one of the reasons why they came here in the first place.

Cha Bai stood sideways, with the modern city of Night and the past of Kaer Morhen in view at the same time. She whispered: "Marjie, when you go back, upgrade my robot hand. It can't keep up with the times. "

Marjie originally wanted to say, do you really think you can go back?

But he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

The strength of the Mirror Master has reached an exaggerated level. He ignores physical attacks and means of controlling souls. The more you fear him, the more powerful he becomes.

Cha Bai could tell at a glance that Mar Jie was worried, but she did not persuade him. In Li Nuo's words, Ma Jie was an extremely rational person, and his determination would never change with just a few words.

Brother Ma was also complaining in his heart.

Some plans are not unspoken, but there is no way to say them. In an environment controlled or participated by the Mirror Master, you must keep your mind empty.

Gunter O'Dimm will read your memory thoughts.

The best way is to spread the feeling of loss throughout the brain.

Let the devil think that even if you have a plan, you don't have a high success rate, so that you can ensure that you are full of surprise when you start.

But the above ideas are contradictory.

It can be inferred from the rules explained by Xing Kai that the more fearful one is, the stronger the devil will be.

"what happened?"

Cha Bai's voice was crisp but a little suppressed.

"This is not the way to go..."

Marger took a deep breath, took out a "portable radio" produced in the last century from his doctor's coat, connected it to the external speaker system, and played a song:

"The old driver took me with me. I want to go to the provincial capital. If I want to go to the provincial capital, the road is usually short. Why, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

boom!

Cha Bai suddenly drew his gun like a frightened bird, and with one precise shot, his "radio" collapsed.

"Brother Ma... stop making trouble..."

"Hmph..." Marjie calmly took out a larger radio from the compartment of his backpack...

Just when Cha Bai felt despair, the moonlight in the sky dimmed, and a mass of darkness from the direction of Night City came over like a tsunami.

Marger put away the radio, squinted at the black tide, and said, "My army of mechanical life forms is coming."

Cha Bai let out a sigh of relief. She never thought that one day she would be saved by a mechanical life form.

"That's why living is interesting..."

……

One minute later.

At this time, Li Nuo shot Adam Hammer and collapsed.

[The seal has been lifted]

The system's sound is simple and direct.

His brown-white eyes stared at Kaer Morhen Castle.

The walls of the fortress cracked and cracked, the castle split into a dense rain of square grids, and a passage was made in the middle of the displayed and floating squares.

There was thick fog at the end, and the sound of heart beating came from there.

"Huh..." Chabai took a deep breath.

"Don't be too nervous, Miss Chabai."

Marger looked at the sky while distributing pieces of shit to the mechanical lifeforms.

"Brother Monkey is here."

In the air, a woman and a stick flew past, the stick was stuck on the wall, and the woman turned over and jumped down.

Nanami shook her long hair and rushed towards them with a melon-shaped face, and saw Chabai covering her mouth in surprise.

"What a strange way of flying..."

"Funny auxiliary skills, nothing surprising..."

What Nanami means is that we are all from "Cairo Game World" and it is normal to have two comedy skills.

Players of "Endless Corridor" will be more or less exposed to the ability of "Funny Causality" during the process of upgrading their skills.

For example, [take a serious step back].

Nanami's skill is called [Tao Baibai's Air Control Technique]. Its characteristic is that she can fly 400 to 800 meters in the air with a long pole weapon. She cannot change direction in the middle. Flying and crashing into a building is considered a basic skill, so if not Come here in a hurry, she won't use this trick.

"Where are Su Mei and Li Nuo?" Marjie asked.

Because Nanami is flat-chested, Brother Ma looks at her the same way he looks at a man.

"They said they were looking for a sniping point, and Li Nuo is riding that dog-like dragon heading here." Nanami looked forward, and her almond-shaped eyes widened when she saw the passage surrounded by countless squares: "I'll go... Is this the road to heaven or the gate to hell..."

"Hmph, how can this be heaven? Our hands are full of blood." Marjie's pupils stretched to the side to the limit.

The surrounding buildings were crumbling.

The wall split and turned into fine cubes just like Kaer Morhen Castle. The wind and sand rolled up behind it, casting a layer of mist on the Night City skyline in the distance.

Squares divide the sky.

The night was swept by wind and sand.

Marger: "He's not here yet."

"Let's go, there's no need to [retrieve the bag], you have to give him some time to explore, and someone has to take the lead." Chabai looked at Nanami with a smile: "I'm sorry for dragging you in this time. "

Nanami curled her lips and scratched her hair: "I feel embarrassed when you say that... I don't like to owe others. I will remember the life-saving grace for my whole life. It's that simple, so..."

She picked up the stick and took the first step: "Let's go."

Cha Bai: "You can wait outside."

Nanami: "Stop talking nonsense! Come on!"

[The main mission has been updated]

[Kill the World BOSS, Gunter Odim]

[Task difficulty: lv70~lv? ? ? 】

The moment the mission was updated, the few people on the edge of the seal seemed to be sucked into a vicious whirlpool. They couldn't control their bodies, and their eyes suddenly went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the center of the square matrix.

There is no way out behind, only a huge, impenetrable fog door.

[Entered the central area]

Everyone looked ahead, and saw a large expanse of white like sea fog above the deep sea. Then, their heart palpitations became stronger and stronger.

Uncontrollable fear was bursting out, and no one could explain why this was happening. But one thing is certain: I have never felt such fear since I came to the "Endless Corridor".

"May Lord Tris protect us, may the wind sing and the birds chirping echo in the mountains and forests... May peace and joy be in our hearts forever... May the one who cuts through the darkness be cut off, and may salvation be given to us at the dawn of dawn..."

Cha Bai put his hands on his chest.

If she wanted to calm down her mind, she would recite [Bing Xin Jue].

Someone from the sorceress's church once told her that when people around her feel upset, please recite a prayer.

Maybe that's useless, but when it comes to facing demons, a little faith is better than none.

……

The Watson District is surrounded by biological weapons wearing military technology uniforms.

The stream of bullets fired by machine guns, the fierce flames and shrapnel from grenade explosions all burned this city cursed by dreams.

Li Nuo rode a vampire dragon and passed behind a building with gang symbols graffitied on it. The roof lit up with yellow-orange firelight, and the masonry and glass reflected the neon lights that no one cared about.

If he wanted to write a diary today, he had already thought of the content:

——My name is Li Nuo.

——I was just unlucky.

——I can’t go out alone. I was imprisoned alone in Greenland, and I rode a dragon on my own in Night City, walking through alleys, avoiding all eyes, but by chance I met him. A biological weapon that simulates peeing on the ground...

So the current scene happened. The priests, demon hunters, and dream hunters who were preparing to hunt demons were being chased by a sack of cockroaches and biological weapons.

It's not that he didn't fight back. Firstly, there were too many people on the other side, and secondly, there really weren't that many bullets to waste here.

The so-called biological weapons are the demonized humans who came into contact with the Nine Dragons. In the dream, these guys are also called "animals", and the genes to wipe out all invaders are engraved in their bones.

Suddenly, a guy with a body as silky as a ribbon emerged from the wall in front of him.

Li Nuo acted calmly, raised his hand and stuffed a grenade (picked up from the body of Adam Heavy Hammer) into the thing's mouth.

boom!

Flames intertwined with black smoke, flying and rolling happily on the monster. The monster whined and suddenly became weak.

Li Nuo's eyelids twitched again and again, and his eyes unconsciously explored the abandoned buildings that looked like primitive jungles.

"Chabai doesn't plan to use the [Fetching Bag]..."

He also received the mainline updated panel.

Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration.

"correct!"

[Potion: Martyr]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Toxicity: 40%]

[Brief description: The hatred value will be reduced immediately. If you don’t get some blood on your hands during this period, the hatred value will backfire and you will become a street rat that everyone screams for until the potion is completely consumed]

This thing was made after the train test, because after that his style changed from vulgar to reckless, so he stuffed the [Martyr] in his bag and hibernated for a long time.

After pouring the medicine down his throat, he raised his gun and fired mercury bullets at the pursuers on the side.

After several consecutive gunshots, the properties of the "magic potion" were activated.

The sound of gunshots and roars moved away from him step by step.

Enemies more than fifty meters away subconsciously forgot about him.

Li Nuo took the opportunity to take out the hammer that Mr. Cairo exchanged.

[Cairo IQ Workshop Hammer (Inferior Quality)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Conditions of use: optional]

[Effect: Activate the potential of something you need, allowing it to acquire the ability as if it were a MOD]

[Note: If it is not fully charged, it can only exert half the effect]

[Brief description: Hit yourself on the head with it, yes, hit yourself. Don’t be embarrassed. It’s not a shame to hit yourself to death with a hammer in front of everyone]

Li Nuo didn't hesitate to pick up the hammer and hit it on the top of his head.

……

boom!

V closed the car door forcefully, put the computer on his lap, and said to Michiko beside him: "Drive, hurry up!"

Michiko's face turned pale, excitement and panic were conflictingly intertwined in her heart. She stepped on the accelerator and looked at the Presidential Palace burning in flames not far away, with an invisible tremor at the corner of her mouth.

"Fuck...that's so awesome V, you really made Miles..."

"Don't talk nonsense." V connected the data cable on his body to the computer socket.

"What are you doing holding your laptop?" Michiko turned the wheel and turned the car onto the road leading to the underground traffic passage.

"I accepted the commission from the priest, and he asked me to send all the information I could find." V's pupils flashed with data streams, and the electromagnetic sound in her head did not affect her thinking ability: "That old Wei is cooperating with them , there must be other reasons, Miles mentioned the devil, and he is a priest, I think... Miles' computer may contain some key information."

The more Michiko listened, the more evil she became, so she stopped talking to him.

"found it."

V's eyes were solemn as she deciphered the command letter Miles left on the computer terminal:

"We naively believed that Ronald was just a well-educated middleman, but in fact, he was the culprit of malicious intent."

"Allowing the devil to toss us like origami will be a disaster for the entire ruling class... The good news is that we learned through a strange-looking alien that the devil has been imprisoned in Night City for the past two years."

"Unfortunately, I have other troubles now, so I hope you can help me solve the problem in Night City and find out what happened to Ronald."

"There is a different world in Night City. I hope you can use the 'Ancient God Code' to find a solution. For the future of the New United States of America, you must complete the task as soon as possible."

V licked his dry lips and continued reading, the message Miles received:

"The out-of-control AI was found in the cyberspace. It should be data flowing out from another space. It is consistent with the 'Ancient God Code'. It should be the 'Whisper' from that 'Ronald'. We consumed it. The interpretation of the lives of twenty-six cyber hackers has been completed..."

V continued to look down, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

When I saw the last line of text, I couldn't help but curse: "Fuck..."

……

[Arzu’s Alchemy: Learning progress 10% → 80%]

The hammer shattered.

Li Nuo's head was intact.

"Arzu's Alchemy" is the reward of the Salivator quest.

Arzu, the creator of The Witcher, has magical and alchemical abilities that are at the top of the pyramid in the world of The Witcher.

[Unlock knowledge points]

[You can discover more truths from things related to "The Witcher"]

The first thing Li Nuo thought of was the brand on his tongue.

This thing has something to do with the Mirror Master.

Now that more truths have been unlocked...

He opened the skills panel.

Killing you while you are sick is always the truth.

【Evocation Brand】

[Type: Skill]

Skipping the previous content, there are new tips at the bottom:

[How to use: Sign a contract with a target who is "familiar with each other" and imprint it on the tongue, so it can be used with words (if it is on your finger, you need to touch it). As long as the target has the same commonality and obsession as you, it is mandatory. sexual contract]

[The concept of body: soul carrier]

[Extradition of the soul: After the contract takes effect, the person who made the contract can end the contract within ten minutes, at the cost of part of the soul being held in the hands of the other party]

[Note: This brand can only be used against incorporeal "demon" creatures]

Li Nuo sat cross-legged on the vampire dragon's back, rubbing his chin (mask) with his fingers.

Plans are already in place...

"If Cha Bai knew my plan..."

Just then, the phone vibrated.

He was surprised that the broken mobile phone he snatched still had power and signal. What was even more surprising was that the message came from V.

[Hi, Priest, according to the employment agreement, I need to find all the information for you. 】

[But I tried my best, that’s all, but it’s amazing enough. You can see the rest for yourself. 】

One text message after another appeared on the screen as the phone vibrated.

The content at the beginning is nothing special.

Miles ordered his subordinates to organize network hackers to find out the truth about the Mirror Master. From the words, it can be seen that there are traces of lies or cover-ups, which is in line with Miles' style.

In short, the dead leader of the new United States of America is afraid of the devil's curse, so he wants to find a way to check and balance the devil. Balala's purpose is generally this.

The hacker found some text information through the mobile AI left in the dreamland of Night City.

Who knows what kind of black technology it is.

Li Nuo cursed and looked down.

"That 'Whisper' of 'Ronald', we consumed the lives of twenty-six cyber hackers, the interpretation has been completed..."

"It's trapped."

"Our conclusion is, please don't take off the chains that have trapped it."

Li Nuo raised his head.

His pupils suddenly wrinkled.

In the sealed land, the demon hunter's sensory system first noticed something strange coming there, and then the dream hunter's genes in his body began to tremble like a spasm.

The seal had been opened, and the evil aura that made Li Nuo sick fell toward him like a collapsing skyscraper.

Li Nuo withdrew his gaze.

He patted the Vampire Dragon. This "Pokémon" that had finally gotten along with him at peace also felt the murderous aura, and it bared its teeth and roared, with a strange sense of fear in its voice.

"It doesn't matter, I have a solution."

Li Nuo comforted the dragon on his crotch, and the hunting genes made the back of his hands tremble uncontrollably. Under the mask, his cold eyes followed the road through the streets, to the steam age of Novigrad, and into the Middle Ages. Kaer Morhen Castle.

"After all, I have no way out."

……

Nanami swallowed subconsciously.

"What is this……"

"It looks familiar."

"Humph……"

The thick white fog dispersed.

Ashlar stones surround the edge of the huge field, and a smooth thing comes out of a cocoon-like thing.

Its whole body is white, covered with twig-like black bloodshot threads, and its shriveled body is like a dying beggar.

Marger snapped his fingers, and the mechanical life form behind him stood in front of everyone. He stared at the guy and whispered: "I know it is not an orphan of Kos, but why does it look so like..."

Nanami couldn't believe the real picture she saw in front of her: "So...this is the true form of Mirror Master?"

The other party was standing in the distance, staring at them motionless.

Marger wanted to use his prosthetic eyes to check the opponent's data. As a strong wave of malice swept through his brain, he realized that it was impossible to use technological means to detect such a demonic creature, so he raised his gun with his backhand and spoke in a bad and uneasy tone.

"I feel like I will explain here that this guy is completely different from the opponents I have faced before, but Li Nuo will definitely protect your life."

He was giving his final instructions to Cha Bai.

"If he dies too, he will have to live alone in the future."

His brown-white pupils stared forward, his fingers tightly holding the hammer, and he said softly: "The problem is, that kind of ending does not exist."
