White Night struggled to open his eyes and saw a strange pink ceiling.

Where is this?

Hmm, it hurts.

It hurt all over my body, as if every piece of flesh had been smashed with a hammer.

What's wrong with me......

"Don't rush to get up and take a sip of wine."

A gentle female voice that he had never heard before sounded in his ears, and Bai Ye felt the hard mouth of the bottle reach his mouth, but he couldn't open his mouth, and his chin was like rust.

"That can't be helped."

Bai Ye heard the female voice sigh, and then a fragrant breeze hit her face, and her lips touched two thin, soft and moist objects.

This is...... Bai Ye's heart was shocked, although his mother had been single for many years, even a fool could feel that these were two trembling lips.

My First Kiss...... Gone???

For a while, Bai Ye was shocked, and for a while, the pain in his body was thrown away from the nine heavens, and the whole person lay there stiffly, still knocked his teeth open by the other party's lips and tongue.

A strong smell of alcohol was sent into Bai Ye's mouth, and he almost choked and quickly drank it.

Strange to say, after Bai Ye drank a few sips of wine, the dull pain in his body did disappear, and his mind and thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Alcohol stimulates your nerves, strengthens heart muscle contractions, and resists the erosion of your nervous system by some electronic viruses."

"What's your name?" The woman's voice sounded again, and it sounded unhurried, very pleasant.

"White Night." He replied subconsciously.

Bai Ye opened his eyes completely at this time, looked in her direction, and suddenly widened his eyes.

I saw that Bai Ye was in a strange couple's suite, the pink decoration highlighted the temptation, the heart-shaped bed made people feel open, Bai Ye was lying in the center of the big bed at this time, and there was a female figure sitting on the side.

At a glance, the first thing Bai Ye saw was a brown monk's robe and shaved hair.

"Monk?"

What monk is so wild, mouth-to-mouth feeding me wine?

Bai Ye was a little confused, are you from the Hehuan Sect?

No wonder Bai Ye thinks so, if you look closely, the monk's robe can't wrap her graceful body, her beautiful red lips ripple with a touch of charm, even if she shaves her hair, she still looks like a goblin running out of the picture scroll.

But this woman just sat there, the corners of her lips were smooth, and the whole person's temperament was solemn like a bodhisattva, this feeling of being dustless made Bai Ye inexplicably feel ashamed of herself, and she didn't dare to look at her more.

Notably, the top of her cheeks, where her eyes had been, were replaced by seven mechanical prosthetic eyes.

This immediately reminded Bai Ye of the photo he had seen before, the woman was almost exactly the same as the monk in the photo, just a woman and a man.

"There are really no rooms in the hotel, so I can only book here, please forgive me."

"Poor Nifa Jingchen, I saw the donor faint in the bar the night before yesterday, and brought you back for treatment."

The night before yesterday? It's been a whole day?

Bai Ye shook his head, there were too many questions in his heart, so he went straight to the point and said to this strange female monk:

"You're a gamer too?"

"Yes, but not a closed beta player, but a different kind of second-tier account, similar to the drinkers in a bar."

The corners of Jingchen's mouth turned up slightly, she seemed to be happy to answer Bai Ye's question, and the seven mechanical prosthetic eyes focused on Bai Ye's eyes, so that he didn't know which one to look at.

"So what's going on in the bar is true? Can Johnny Silverhand really give someone else the identity of a player? ”

White Night's pupils contracted, and this Johnny Silver Hand, as an electronic virus, was really powerful.

"He can, but there are limits to this kind of granting, maybe in quantity, maybe in terms of permission."

"Now that he has formed his own forces in this world, there is one more unstable factor in the world."

"This kind of scumbag ......" Bai Ye recalled what happened in the bar, his forehead was bruised, and let this kind of person go on a rampage with a gang of thugs, what is the difference between those people in black from the General Services Department?

"I know you don't like their style......"

Suddenly, Jingchen stretched out his palm and put it on Bai Ye's forehead, "But for now, you'd better take care of your body first." ”

Bai Ye felt the warmth of her palm, and then heard her say softly:

"You're dying."

"What?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, and recalled the third sentence that Jingchen said to him:

"Alcohol stimulates your nerves, strengthens heart muscle contractions, and resists the erosion of your nervous system by some electronic viruses."

Bai Ye's face changed suddenly, Jingchen smiled faintly, and continued to explain:

"Johnny Silverhand's consciousness has always been stored in the Rebirth Chip, like an immensely powerful electronic virus that is now frantically eating away at your nervous system."

"You may die in the process, but more likely, the chip will turn you into another Johnny Silverhand."

"At that time, the name White Night will disappear from the world."

"An electronic ghost named Johnny Silverhand will be resurrected."

"This ......" Bai Ye realized that he had made a mistake and stepped into a terrible trap.

Compared to Johnny Silverhand, being hunted down by Arasaka and captured by the men in black at the General Services Department is a fart!

In the bar, he witnessed Johnny Silver's hands manipulating his body to do whatever he wanted.

This kind of scum......

A stream of qi and blood rushed to Bai Ye's brain, he looked at the Jingchen in front of him, and suddenly became suspicious, and felt a wave of anger:

"Then why are you helping me? What's in it for you? ”

Hearing Bai Ye's questioning, Jingchen was still dignified and elegant, and said unhurriedly:

"I saved you just because you have a relationship with my Buddha."

"As for why there is fate, I don't know."

"Buddhism?" Bai Ye was stunned, how could there be Buddhism in the cyber world? Could it be that there is a cyber Buddha, and a cyber underworld is not?

"Maybe there really is? A place for cyber ghosts to be reincarnated. Jingchen responded seriously, and Bai Ye actually thought about it for a while, only to realize how whimsical this answer was.

"Aren't cyber ghosts all numbers? How to reincarnate in rebirth? Bai Ye wanted to continue complaining, but he suddenly recalled his S-level talent [Reincarnation], which was also so unreasonable and did not conform to the laws of physics at all.

The word "reincarnation" originally comes from the Buddhist scriptures, which refers to the fact that after the death of sentient beings, the soul enters the six realms of heaven, man, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell to be reborn and die, and the cycle is endless, so it is called reincarnation.

In this way, what kind of "Buddha" does he really have a relationship with in the white night?

Faced with this conjecture, Bai Ye was terrified.

Could it be that in the world of Night City, there really are gods?

Bai Ye fell into thought, and Jingchen didn't interrupt, just continued to sit quietly.

After dozens of seconds, Bai Ye spoke again:

"How much time do I have left? What methods do I use to resist erosion? ”

"For half a year, for as little as a month, the rebirth chip has fused with your central nervous system, and in the following time, the chip will continue to transform your body, and Johnny Silverhand's consciousness will also wake up from time to time during this period."

Jingchen thought for a moment and continued:

"As for how to resist the Rebirth Chip, you have to find a way to contact Arasaka in 'Night City', the Rebirth Chip is the technology of the Arasaka Corporation, and they may have a way to get rid of Johnny Silverhand."

"Saburo Arasaka is dead, and I'm already a wanted criminal in Arasaka now." Bai Yeshu smiled, now that he went to contact Arasaka, it was tantamount to asking for his own death, and he frantically refreshed the number of deaths.

"There is another option, go to Jiuhua Mountain, find our Jiuhua Temple's abbot Master Fa Ming, he can listen to the Buddha's Sanskrit sound, that is, he gave our senior brother the player qualification, he may have a way."

"What is the Buddha's Sanskrit sound?" Bai Ye was stunned, isn't this a religious scam starter?

But looking at Jingchen's seven electronic prosthetic eyes, Bai Ye had to consider the credibility of what the other party said.

Master Faming of Jiuhua Mountain...... Bai Ye silently remembered the name in his heart.

"I don't know the details about the specific Sanskrit sound, but just a month ago, Master Fa Ming suddenly heard it, and then closed the temple and gave the players the identity of the brothers." Jingchen may be a little thirsty, so he went to the side and made two cups of tea.

She handed Bai Ye a cup of tea, took a sip of her own tea, and continued:

"Now that I have been away from Jiuhua Mountain for a week, I don't know much about the current situation of the temple."

"I saw a photo of a monk similar to yours on the Internet, is it also a monk from Jiuhua Mountain?" White Night asked:

"What are you doing when you leave the temple? Did you know that there's an agency called the General Services Agency that is going around catching players? ”

Jingchen replied: "That should be one of my senior brothers, we have both accepted the task of the master, so we are walking in the outside world. ”

"The General Services Department is indeed very dangerous, but Master Fa Ming said that the General Services Department will not arrest us people, as long as we are wearing monk's robes, we don't have to worry."

"I don't know why."

"The General Services Department doesn't arrest monks?" Bai Ye was stunned.

Why doesn't the General Services Department arrest monks? Could it be that this "Master Faming" has some secret deal with the General Services Administration? Let the General Services Department be their guardian?

Or is it ...... What is the essential difference between these monks of Jiuhua Mountain and these "beta players" like Bai Ye?

Bai Ye suddenly felt that he had caught some clue, but he didn't know.

After that, Bai Ye saw that Jingchen had no impatience, and asked some questions about the "Night City" with confidence and boldness, and they were all answered.

It's a pity that Jingchen doesn't know more about the "Night City" than he does.

"Master Bai, it's almost dawn, I have a task on my side, and I can't delay it any longer."

"If Lord Bai wants to rest, just sleep in the room for a while, the room fee has already been paid."

Jingchen got up, folded his hands, and saluted Bai Ye.

Only then did Bai Ye realize that he and Jingchen had actually talked for three hours, and it was the first time he felt that time had passed so quickly.

There is no doubt that Jingchen is a master of listening and telling, she can always stabilize the rhythm and content of the conversation, and it is indeed a pleasure to talk to her.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Bai Ye arched his hand to Jingchen, and watched Jingchen push the door and leave, at this moment he actually felt a little reluctant.

Fortunately, I left Jingchen's number just now, maybe we can meet in Jiuhua Mountain in the future?

Suddenly, Bai Ye had a little expectation for Jiuhua Mountain, and the clouds accumulated in his heart also dissipated.

......

Without further ado, Bai Ye first went back to his apartment to change his clothes, and searched the Internet for the route from Binhai City to Jiuhua Mountain, which is not far and not close, 200 kilometers.

After calculating in the white night, I found that renting a car is the fastest and much more convenient than a bus.

After thinking about it, Bai Ye called Tang Fa and asked him to have lunch together, and by the way, he asked about the specific details of the car rental process.

Now that Binhai University is suspended, Bai Ye and Tang Fa are about the same as a direct holiday, and they are fine on weekdays, but the school has requirements and cannot go out of the province.

Although Tang Fa was frightened, his appetite was not reduced, and the two found a Sichuan-style hot pot to eat.

Bai Ye knew what Tang Fa wanted to say, so he specially booked a hidden box.

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Fa entered the box, his face turned pale, and he began to talk about what happened before:

"Yezi, we're really fated this time!"

"I've heard that those men in black belong to the General Services Department, it's the military! What a murder without blinking! ”

"Our instructor died so miserably...... The little girls were crying and fainting. ”

Bai Ye sighed, ordered a few beers, and let Tang Fa cry while eating hot pot, and poured himself half drunk.

On weekdays, Bai Ye doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, but now in order to suppress Johnny Silverhand's virus, Bai Ye also drinks a few more glasses.

During the chat, Bai Ye learned a bad news from Tang Fa.

"District 21 wants to shut down the whole district for testing?" Bai Ye frowned, shutting down the network meant that the entire district's network interface and the outside world were interrupted, and the Internet became a local area network, which is a measure that will only be taken when a major turbulent event occurs.

Tang Fa and these ordinary people don't know the inside story, but Bai Ye can see at a glance that there is something strange about this.

Today's White Night is almost certain that the closure of the entire network is related to the "Night City", and from the perspective of the style of acting, it is likely to be arranged by the "General Services Administration".

This shows that the "General Services Administration" has once again increased its control over local cities, what is the next step? Lockdown of the city? Martial law?

Bai Ye's heart suddenly swelled with a hint of foreboding, if the General Services Administration really carried out military control, all of them in the city would become turtles in the urn.

Unless you flee District 21 before locking down the city and head to more chaotic areas, you will have a chance to survive.

But...... Bai Ye has promised his sister Bai Tao to go to District 1 to see her.

With a concern on his mind, Bai Yeshi unknowingly accompanied Tang Fa to finish the hot pot.

"Pay the bill, pay the bill." Tang Fa called the waiter and rushed to pay the bill.

Tang Fa has a lot of pocket money and likes to be generous, so Bai Ye also goes with him, sitting aside and thinking about his thoughts.

"Huh?" Bai Ye frowned, and he suddenly felt a peeping gaze projected from the oblique side.

Turning his head, there was a black-bearded man not far away looking at this side, his eyes falling on Bai Ye's body.

As soon as Bai Ye's gaze made contact with him, the man immediately shifted his gaze, and his concealment skills were clumsy.

"This person is spying on me?"

Bai Ye's heart sank: "Is it someone from the General Affairs Department?" ”

"No, the General Services Department is not so amateur."

"And who is he? Why are you staring at me? ”

"Is it a player?"

Bai Ye is not a person who is afraid of things, since he has been alarmed, it is better to ask directly to understand.

Walked up to the man and patted him on the shoulder:

"You're looking for me?"

"I ......" The black-bearded man's face suddenly became embarrassed, he looked at the white night, and it took several seconds before he said:

"I'm fine, I don't know you."

"But I know you, come with me."

Bai Ye reached out and grabbed the man's collar and dragged it outside the door of the hot pot restaurant.

"Yezi, who is this? Do you know? Tang Fa finished buying the bill at this time, noticed the commotion here, and asked suspiciously.

"It's my fellow countryman, let's catch up with the past." Bai Ye said casually, forcibly dragged the black-bearded man out of the door, and came to the main road.

"I don't know you!" The black-bearded man was still arguing, and at this time he didn't dare to look directly at the white night.

"Okay, let's find a place to talk slowly." Bai Ye smiled, and was about to drag him into an alley to ask him, when a roaring sound came from the side of the road.

A red Bentley came from far and near, parked next to them in the white night, and a female voice came from behind the window:

"Let go of Uncle Chen, I made him look at you."

Bentley's car window fell, revealing the appearance of a talking girl, her eyes were bright and clear, her face was shining in the light, today she was wearing a snow-blue brocade pomegranate skirt, wearing a pair of diamond-encrusted glacier sapphire stud earrings, more expensive than the usual campus dress, delicate like a princess in the prosperous world.

"Su Wan?!" Tang Fa looked at the girl who was driving, and was immediately stunned, the surprise component accounted for one percent, and the stunned component accounted for ninety percent - Su Wan was so good-looking.

Bai Ye didn't react much, just frowned and let go of the hand holding the man, and turned his head to look at Su Wan:

"You're looking for me?"

"Let's talk about it in the car." Su Wan unlocked the door of the passenger seat and motioned for Bai Ye to get into the car, obviously to take Bai Ye into the car.

Seeing this meeting, Tang Fa on the side suddenly became calm: "Damn, Yezi, this is your reward for saving the beauty of the hero the day before yesterday!" ”

"People want to invite you alone, brother, I won't be a light bulb."

"Fuck shit peach blossom luck! I'm so jealous! Tang let out a wail, sprinkled drunkenness, covered his face and ran away.

The black-bearded man on the side nodded at Su Wan and left to the other side of the road, leaving only Bai Ye and Su Wan in the car on the street.

Bai Ye thought for a moment, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"What are you looking for me?"
