As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 250 The beginning of faith, the corrector of destiny

Li Nuo paused and looked at Mirror Master.

"Can I tell them something?"

"Of course." Mirror Master took out a pocket watch from the lining of his black coat: "Anyway, we have plenty of time."

In Nanami's eyes, the Mirror Master's real appearance was completely different from what he imagined. He should have been a hairless, rough man, just like the "Glass Boy" who coaxed Geralt in "The Witcher".

Mirror Master suddenly said to Nanami: "Madam, people can change, let alone me in your eyes."

Li Nuo said: "Yes, the essence of the so-called high-dimensional demon is that it has no entity. Ronald...well, let me call you Ronald or Mirror Master."

"Please."

"Mr. Ronald changes his appearance according to the times."

"That's right, Mr. Witcher."

"But he still retains the appearance of a gentleman from 1850 in cyberpunk, which shows..." Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The rules are not on your side."

Mirror Master's eyes tightened.

"Li Nuo..."

Cha Bai wanted to silently take out the [Player Check] that could escape the script in the final stage.

At this time, Marjie turned around calmly and whispered to Chabai: "Listen to him."

Chabai was startled.

Li Nuo: "Don't worry, Cha Bai, Mr. Ronald doesn't want to do it now."

Cha Bai: "He killed you once..."

"So he knows very well that it only takes a moment to kill me." Li Nuo looked at Mirror Master and said, "Are you surprised that I'm still alive?"

Mirror Master: "You always surprise me, Mr. Demon Hunter. To thank you all for pulling me out of the puppet, you can tell them your reasoning. I will give you that time."

Translated: I've been bored for too long, give me some fun.

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "When I came here, my mind kept spinning. I was thinking...many things seemed to lack logic. Then I saw Novigrad and Kyle in the dream. Mohan, suddenly I understand!”

Marjie's ears twitched, and he walked to Nanami and made a silent gesture. He looked at Su Mei whose neck had been broken, and silently took out two cans of blood medicine, one for himself and one for Su Mei. , and took out tools from his coat to give simple treatment to the bones under Su Mei’s neck.

Su Mei's exposed blackened trachea opened and closed, but the hellish torture prevented her from speaking a complete sentence. Even though her blood volume returned to healthy, the curse from the mirror was accompanied by a shock to her soul.

Nanami came over, put her head next to her ear and whispered: "Take a deep breath, you'll be fine soon."

"Fuck...I, I feel so...hurt...ah..."

Su Mei's fingers turned white.

Nanami brought over the half bottle of [chestnut wine] and asked Marjie to help pour it into Su Mei's mouth.

A burst of noisy golden light dust overflowed from Nanami's fingers, causing Su Mei to fall into calmness in an instant.

Marjie's facial features flickered in the bright light, and with an indifferent expression, he turned his head and looked at the confrontation between the demon and the priest.

On the other side, Li Nuo calmly took out the teapot, held it in his hand, and sat cross-legged on the ground, just like his usual leisurely posture in the space.

But Chabai's heartbeat became more and more panicked, and she felt that something was going to happen soon.

Mirror Master's eyes looked around, and he nodded slightly: "Please speak."

Li Nuo said: "The root of everything starts from the world of "The Witcher". The intersection of the celestial sphere brings about the invasion of the ancient gods. You are the master like God and demon, but things in higher dimensions change the rules." Take it away from you, Mr. Ronald, you must have been very unhappy at that time, right? That feeling of having your nest suddenly occupied by someone is particularly unpleasant, I understand, I understand it very well."

"If it were you, what would you choose?" Mirror Master asked.

"Aren't you going to read my mind?" Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders, unscrewed the lid of the tea stick, and blew on the hot air: "When faced with something that I can't beat, I will run far away. Even though it's shameful to run away, , but it really works.”

Mirror Master has been peeking into Li Nuo's mind, but there are some things he can't understand.

Li Nuo's mind was very messy and he deliberately let himself think about many things. He took a sip of tea.

Only then can the Mirror Master see what he is thinking: If I serve as a container, let him enter the body, and then commit suicide, will he die?

"You're thinking a little too easily."

"Then you should hear me out."

Li Nuo put the teapot on the ground, raised his head and said:

"Then, it's the bet between you and me. I got you into cyberpunk, and by the way, you brought something like the Inner Eye. That thing is not a good thing, it looks like The moths will multiply, and you will be controlled by other rules again."

"Of course, it will take some time for you to be controlled. Until then, you are still standing at the top of the world. You changed Miles and the map of the American continent just like in "The Witcher". There are many more things about Mr. Blue Eyes’ identity as the mastermind behind the scenes, but you have the ability to predict the future, so you know that one day you will suddenly be imprisoned in a corner of the world. In order to prevent that day, you have made two preparations ."

Li Nuo made a "yeah" gesture.

"You allowed V, the only person in the world who can kill deteriorating life, to survive by letting her follow the life line of military technology."

"You keep investigating travelers from other worlds, hoping to find chips in these people that can break your fate."

"I've also thought about it. In fact, if you want V to survive, there are many ways. Why do you let her take the most difficult road..." Li Nuo touched his chin and said with a smile, "Because it's fun, because watching a The world’s protagonists are interesting only when they go through hardships.”

Mirror Master narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Please continue."

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Then? What else can you do? You are polluted by the abyss. Like those beast-turned-guys, your soul is imprisoned in a container. This is the result you want, but the problem is, that You cannot control the vessel from the abyss."

The pale "devil" who had been fighting against the coffee and white men just now lay limply on the ground.

"You are so powerful, so powerful that even if you are imprisoned, you can still create your own clone in the dreamland of Night City. This is also due to the fact that the ancient gods have not really invaded this world."

"You made the final preparations."

Li Nuo looked at Mr. Cairo.

"Cairo-kun is an uncertain factor, you must take precautions in advance."

He thought of the three-headed dog and Adam's Hammer.

"You made yourself a sealing point, right here, and then gave the key to the three monsters you created. The monsters are guarding Mr. Cairo, and these little guys can't get close to you who are imprisoned."

Li Nuo looked at the mirror again.

"And only those who are strong enough can break the seal, such as V or a traveler from another world."

He looked at the pure white "devil" lying on the ground.

"You have studied too many things that are symbols of the ancient gods, and you have been seriously infected. Like many people, you will become the plaything of the ancient gods. Your soul is imprisoned in the leather case. Now that the leather case is dead, you have come out. At least it means one thing It’s okay, the host’s death will not affect your life safety.”

"So what I was thinking just now, 'If I serve as a container, let him enter my body, and then commit suicide, will he die?' was just... to verify my current inference... um... yes, I actually Only now do we begin to reason about the entire incident.”

Li Nuo lowered his head and pointed his index finger on his lower lip.

"Probably...that's it...so as travelers from another world, we would have been safe if we didn't touch you, but due to certain restrictions we have to...touch you, so I said, we have fallen into your trap. , but had to walk in."

"But there's one thing I don't understand. Why did you attack me right away?"

Li Nuo paused.

"We are just your experiments to verify whether travelers from other worlds can enter the dreamland of Night City. I am dangerous to you, so after the first verification is over, I need to die, but now that it is like this, Would you mind chatting with me?"

Mirror Master nodded invisibly: "Back in Novigrad, it would have been great if you had listened to my advice and become my agent."

"It's a pity that we are not in the same category." Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Your stage and life span are too broad, but you don't know what you should do at all, you are just immersed in it like a greedy clown. In the darkness, you are looking for fun for yourself, until having fun becomes your essence, and you have forgotten the root of your birth."

He added at the end: "I'm talking nonsense."

Mirror Master: "But you're right."

The devil took a step forward and walked out of the big hole created by Nokia. The ground where the soles of his leather shoes touched slowly returned to its original appearance.

"Beings shaped by the times will have memories to some extent due to their life cycle, but I am different."

The black mist spreads, colliding with the moonlit night.

Countless black souls overflowed from behind Master Mirror, and hundreds of souls were quietly twisting around.

"Twenty-three thousand five hundred and forty-six people, these are the souls I buried and brought with my own hands."

"More than 100 million souls died in the war that I traded with the big powers. These are stories that span thousands of years. I clearly remember the unfolding and ending of every moment. The reason why I am so unscrupulous is that all of us know , this world will not collapse for any reason, but the inertia brought by the controllable rules makes me feel that everything is numb, so today is special to me, Mr. Demon Hunter."

"That's it." Li Nuo held his chin with one hand and weakly pointed at the Mirror Master with the other. He said in a lazy and cheerful tone: "Haha, I took too big a step. That's nonsense. I wanted to control too much, but I met You are able to control your own things and are busy making plans for the future, but you fail to consider that there are still other things staring at you."

Mirror Master paused.

Li Nuo then said a long paragraph: "If you really know the purpose of our group of travelers from other worlds, just wait here honestly. Why bother to go to see me and make something for me by the way?" A little trouble? Especially... what you did by summoning the saliva demon to target Cha Bai, even if you like to tease others, you will not do this. First, you have to provoke me and make me come to Night City to find you. Let's settle the score. As the culprit who exiled you, you used me for an experiment and killed me, killing two birds with one stone. Secondly, you can't read the high-dimensional existence that asked us to do things, or in other words, things related to us travelers from other worlds. You can’t predict perfectly.”

Mirror Master stopped. He was less than twenty meters away from Li Nuo.

Eyes facing each other.

No one can read what's going on in their heads.

"Do you still remember what happened in the old town of Keville?" Li Nuo asked.

Mirror Master calmly nodded: "Well, of course, I can't predict whether you can synthesize 'Ancient Blood'."

"So you shouldn't show up in advance, which will allow me to completely grasp your weakness, Gunter O'Dimm." Li Nuo said two words: "System."

Li Nuo stood up.

The soul behind Mirror Master began to explode wildly.

"So, Mr. Demon Hunter, knowing the cause and effect, what are you going to do now?"

"me……"

Li Nuo paused.

The promise with Annabell popped into his mind.

"The medicine man gave his life in exchange for our lives."

His pupils glanced at Su Mei who was lying on the ground.

"The swordsman is guarding our group from a distance."

Marger's eyes met his.

"The scholars helped shape my weapons."

He laughed.

“The dancers energize us with pole dancing.”

Then he touched Mr. Cailuo's head.

"Businessmen give me new knowledge."

At last.

"Thief..."

Li Nuo pressed the edge of his felt hat.

"Priests must also perform their duties."

He laughed again.

"But it seems that you are immortal. Even if I take you into my body and commit suicide, I can't kill you."

Mirror Master raised his chin slightly, still smiling indifferently: "So, Mr. Priest, what are you going to do when facing the immortal me?"

Li Nuo gave the teapot to Mr. Cairo.

"Yes, what can we do, but... whether it's a priest or a demon hunter, aren't they all on the opposite side of you? This is fate, and none of us can do anything about it."

"But I also understand that you cannot leave your fate to the enemy and hope for mercy from the other party to survive. That is too stupid."

He took a step towards Mirror Master's position, and Chabai suddenly hugged his arm.

"Li Nuo, you can't go, stay here!"

Her head was buried on Li Nuo's shoulder, her eyes hidden under the goggles were filled with desire, and she said:

"Let's run away together, there's still a chance...don't go..."

"Why?" Li Nuo turned around, stared into her eyes, and said with a smile: "We can't escape. He said that he has plenty of time. He will use the intersection of the celestial sphere to find you and me sooner or later."

Cha Bai: "But then..."

Mirror Master's voice suddenly intervened: "Mr. Demon Hunter is right, escaping sometimes cannot solve the problem."

The devil's fingers moved slightly.

The stars suddenly changed.

The air made a huge roar, and the compressed air hit Li Nuo and Cha Bai in an instant.

Amidst the smoke and dust.

The silvery white cane reflects the moonlight.

[Pixel Slash] tears apart attacks that can kill them.

Li Nuo stood in front of Cha Bai, and his almost fragmented body was restored to its original appearance by pixels.

"It is unfortunate for me that the priest has gained faith, but it is also a great blessing."

Cha Bai was stunned.

"Chabai, don't be afraid, don't worry, it'll be okay."

Li Nuo turned his head and shouted to Mirror Master:

"I derailed your emperor's life, and you threatened my life. You wanted to kill me, and I wanted to kill you. For you and me, we are the fates we must face."

Mirror Master did not answer. He knew very well that Li Nuo's pixelation ability only lasted for one minute, and he only needed to wait for one minute.

Good...you admitted it.

Li Nuo held the two tickets he had prepared in his hand and said with a smile:

"This is your home court. It's unfair to a weakling like me."

【Player Check】

[The player team "hum" prepares to leave the script] [Script countdown: 15 seconds]

At this moment, Li Nuo almost disappeared in front of Mirror Master.

But before he could react, a train he couldn't see honked and crashed into him.

"I have made a contract with you. I will be your container and carry you across the corners of the world. Gunter O'Dimm, the night and the nightmare have been too long. It's time to end."

At this moment, the train broke into the dreamland.

The Mirror Master heard the whistle coming from the "Endless Corridor".

His body was grabbed by Li Nuo uncontrollably, the [Demon Summoning Brand] took effect, and the demon was forcibly pulled into Li Nuo's body.

But the demon can't see what's going on in the player's mind.

Just like Li Nuo said, the system is their weakness. As long as the system is included as a part of the game, Gunter Odim will not be able to see the future direction clearly.

The roaring train broke into the time and space tunnel.

The other ticket held on Li Nuo's finger was a Final Fantasy ticket.

"Go to...Final Fantasy!"

Gunter O'Dimm's face flickered uneasily next to Li Nuo's head...

He felt like his body was being torn apart.

[Changed track, next stop, Final Fantasy]

"Can it be just me?"

"Without special friends, I will go there alone!"

[It costs 8000 gold coins to unbind the team...]

[You have spent 8000 gold coins, and the team "Humph" has been disbanded]

[You need to spend 10000 gold coins to open the "Free World" quest line before you can abandon your "special friends" and go alone]

[You have spent 10000 gold coins...]

……

When Cha Bai saw the empty carriage, his eyes were empty.

[The team has been disbanded (temporarily)]

[Special friend player 5900 was sent to the "Final Fantasy" script]

[The guild still exists, you will return to the Cyberpunk script with player 5899]

"Miss Chabai..."

"Well, I can hear it..."

She opened her backpack and kept clicking on the special friend backpack sharing function.

In the end, he knocked on the panel with his hand expressionlessly, although every time his hand would penetrate the translucent panel and hit the ground of the car.

"Li Nuo once told me so."

Marjie did not stop Cha Bai, but simply explained the previous conversation calmly.

"The story of the witcher and the sorceress should not end at the hands of the devil."

Cha Bai stopped tapping the "panel" with his hand.

She tore off a corner of her skirt.

The magic power of the fingertips turned into brush strokes. He lay down on the ground and wrote a line of words, then put the black fragments into the backpack grid.

……

The world of witcher.

Toussaint.

Ciri got off the carriage, handed the money to the driver, and then walked toward the path home alone.

It's 1851 now.

After a year of "struggle", I finally saved enough money to buy a small house in the city.

When passing Geralt's tombstone, it started to rain lightly, and Ciri put on the top hat pinned to her waist.

From time to time she would wonder if the witcher she exchanged hats with was still alive.

Raindrops fell on the lake where the source warlock had fallen.

The surface of the lake was rippled.

Shirley didn't know why, but she always had a strange feeling.

"Don't leave me alone as a demon hunter..."

……

[Entered into the script]

[The main mission has been triggered: Infiltrate Shinra Company]

[Task time: 24 hours]

Li Nuo opened his eyes. He had no intention of listening to the system's voice.

[It is detected that your special script has not been completed. After the script ends, you will be forced to teleport back to "Cyberpunk"]

In front of me is a grassland.

On the highway, trucks carrying resistance troops passed through his sight.

"Hey?"

"what happened?"

"I, I seem to have seen..."

Emil "sat" on the roof of the car, looking back at the demon hunter wearing a mask that looked like his own.

"So familiar...where have I seen him?"

But in the next moment, Li Nuo disappeared from their sight.

The truck was still driving on the road, heading toward the horizon.

"Emile..."

Li Nuo squatted on the edge of the road, and he lifted the contract of [Demon Summoning Brand].

——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.

"This price seems very high, but in fact, it is very easy for you."

Li Nuo looked at Hei Wu standing opposite.

An old gentleman wearing a top hat and a black trench coat walked out of the mist. The mirror master stared at Li Nuo, looking around at this fantasy world.

Blue magic seeped out of Li Nuo's skin.

"The magic here is so pure."

Li Nuo felt the sense of relief brought by the return of crystal magic to his hometown.

Mirror Master asked: "Mr. Demon Hunter, so you brought me here to end the fate you said?"

"Yes." Li Nuo said in a low voice: "Do you know what players would do when they are alone in a game and defeat monsters alone?"

Mirror Master frowned.

He was not in the mood to listen because the intensity of this world was far beyond his dimension.

"First lower the BOSS's head to make them weaker, then add BUFF to yourself to make yourself stronger, and bring the BOSS and you to the same level."

Li Nuo's voice hovered in the devil's ears.

"You are a demon from the frontier."

"You are God in a 'reality-like' world."

"But the ancient god's contact with you told me that in the face of more powerful things, you who cannot control the rules will become much weaker."

"The power of the devil comes from the fear of the world and the evil consequences of its actions. The fantasy world will not fear you, and as a tourist, there will be no evil consequences here."

The priest took off his mask, looked at the sky, and murmured softly.

"You and I are destined to be together. When one of us must die, killing means correcting the trajectory of destiny."

"Final Fantasy and NieR are the home bases of destiny modifiers."

"In this case... the fate corrector in me is established, right?"

He's asking the system.

Black mist suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the ground like a large number of dark clouds.

Li Nuo and the mirror are wrapped in it.

[Fate Modifier: The world of "NieR" is trapped in an infinite loop. Yacol cannot enter certain world anchor points. The reason is not that she is restricted by her native world, but that her established destiny is being peeped by the "Fate Modifier". As a native of this world, Yacol cannot disobey the guidance of the "Fate Modifier"]

[A certain Yacol gave his fate to others and got rid of the "Fate Modifier", causing the new timeline to change]

[Player 5900, you have taken the "Fate Modifier", which will change your destiny one day]

[Player 5900, you have reached the conditions to repair your destiny]

Mirror Master's body was surrounded by black mist, and Li Nuo saw that the master had turned into a "concrete" life form due to fate.

Turning the fate that hinders you into something that can be broken is the [Fate Modifier].

This is the benefit of playing a lot of games. Li Nuo knows exactly what this thing does.

From the perspective of the Mirror Master, Li Nuo was surrounded by titanium-white fortune. He didn't know what it was. He only knew that his current power was far weaker than before, as if he was imprisoned by something again.

Gunter O'Dimm looked at him with an evil look.

"what have you done?"

"Don't you know how to spy on people's thoughts?" Li Nuo smiled and said, "Come on, read my mind."

"..."

"If you can't tell, let me remind you, why do you think I have to explain the cause and effect to you? Isn't it just to make you subconsciously think that I am a stumbling block to your destiny!"

"Mr. Demon Hunter, there is only one miscalculation on my part. You are too evil."

"Being evaluated like this by the devil shows that I am a competent priest."

Li Nuo took out [Pixel Fire], released the vampire dragon in the elf ball, and fed it [Pixel Rough Stone].

The moment he opened his backpack just now, he saw the fragments of the skirt left by Cha Bai.

There are dark-white handwriting on it: "Straight through the eyes of the devil, his weakness is in the left chest and heart. Also, I am in the future, waiting for you to come back."

His eyes were extremely clear.

The demon hunter's amber snake eyes looked so clean for the first time.

Mirror Master only felt that those eyes were getting more disgusting and disgusting the more he looked at them. His body exuded an aura that could only exist in hell.

The magic in the air suppressed the evil spirit of the devil.

But he couldn't suppress the devil's voice: "You are more annoying to me than Geralt."

Li Nuo laughed when he heard this.

"Then I'll make you annoying again."

He crushed the [Pixel Fire], and facing the darkness and demons that were getting closer and closer, he held his cane and raised his arms in greeting:

"Gunt O'Dimm. Even if you are immortal, I will kill you today. I will tear your skin and pull out your heart!"

The darkness revealed the silhouette of a demon, surrounded by mirrors.

"Then give it a try, Witcher."

……

The king sat motionless in front of the TV for a long time.

The door opened.

Angel came back from outside, and she saw the king standing up.

"what happened?"

"Angel, what was the bet before?"

"You mean... about the bet on whether Li Nuo can kill the mirror?" Angel said without thinking: "Whoever loses will repair the air conditioner for a year."

She smiled with dimples and said: "You bet on the mirror to win, what? Is there a result?"

"I understand." The king turned and walked towards the exit door: "I will contract for the maintenance of the air conditioner for one year."

"Isn't it over yet?"

“It’s over as soon as the devil is pinched.”

The king turned his head and said slowly before disappearing:

"Li Nuo won."
