[Weird Gathering Place]?!

Hearing this name, Bai Ye immediately recalled some things from the past!

Uncanny!

This kind of thing, which he didn't know what it was, had been like a tarsal bone since he came into contact with Night City.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with White Night, but White Night can always see relevant information at inadvertent times. Even unknowingly affected!

Bai Ye clearly remembers that the first time he encountered the so-called [Weird] was in his apartment building shortly after he entered the Night City game.

At that time he was in an apartment building. In a room where no one is around, the little girl sees something unusual.

The white night itself is completely invisible from its own natural perspective. He activated the hacking chip to observe that bizarre thing.

It was a black orb that seemed to be full of resentment and malice. You can even attack and pollute your own spirit!

At the moment when he sensed the malice, Bai Ye made a decisive move and directly smashed the weird black ball.

This was how he first encountered strange affairs.

After killing the Weird Black Ball, White Night also obtained an item: [E-rank "Weird Residue"].

This item is still stored in his inventory to this day.

According to Night City's game tips, since the Spooky Disaster, there have been countless kinds of weird creatures, and after being killed, they will drop all kinds of mysterious weird materials, and "weird residues" are the most common and widely used among them.

This thing, if nothing else, can be strengthened and other factors, and may even help Bai Ye improve his combat effectiveness.

It's just that Bai Ye didn't have the technology related to "weird transformation" at that time, and until now, he has not been exposed to related technology.

In general, people who can transform things in Zezhong are called "human craftsmen". White Night hasn't met anyone like this in the game or in reality.

There is another point that makes Bai Ye care very much.

This so-called [strange phenomenon] seems insignificant, and the people in Night City have no special knowledge of it. But White Night still remembers a hint of the game.

That's the backdrop for the entire Night City game. A few years ago, the Fourth Corporate War and the Spooky Invasion took place at the same time, putting almost the entire city in danger.

In other words, the so-called [Strange Invasion] incident, even like the Fourth Corporate War, is very dangerous enough to make everyone fearful.

By the time White Night came into contact with the [Strange Disaster], those things had invaded the real world. At this time, according to [Emma], it is even more serious, and there is even a special [weird gathering place]?

In this way, Bai Ye's heart sank.

He couldn't help but think that there was a huge conspiracy behind the apartment building he lived in at the time.

I don't know if there is a relationship between the [Strange Disaster] at that time and the flesh and blood sacrifices planned by some families at that time?

If anything, it's creepy.

I don't know what a terrifying net there is behind these things. Like a net of heaven and earth, it hangs over everyone's heads. However, no one has noticed this yet......

Bai Ye was silent for a long time, and [Emma] seemed to notice something: "What, have you heard of something like this before?" ”

After this time of getting along, White Night feels that [Emma] is very trustworthy. In front of [Emma], he didn't have any intention of hiding it, and replied directly: "That's right, I once encountered a similar [weird phenomenon] in real life, and it was just a small black ball at the time, which gave me a considerable shock. ”

[Emma] listened and said to Bai Ye, "Since you have been exposed to similar things, it is even better. You must also know in your heart that these weird and related things are very dangerous. If you want to go there to get medicinal herbs, you must be well prepared. ”

"It's both physical and psychological. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is necessary to achieve the ultimate in what you can do. During this time, I think you should spend more time in Night City. Do as many tasks as you can to improve your combat power. ”

Emma's words were quite pertinent, and White Night nodded and said, "I see, I'll be spending most of my experiences in Night City during this time." ”

It just so happens that now that he is doing his best to heal his illness, the company will not come to disturb him. He spends a lot of time in Night City every day.

And one more thing is very important. It is not an easy thing for Bai Ye to improve his combat effectiveness in real life. If you want to improve your combat power by exercising your body or connecting techniques such as martial arts, the effect is not so obvious, and it takes a long time.

It's a different story in Night City. Prosthetics, chips, and all kinds of weapons are relatively easy to obtain. Maybe any weapon that Bai Ye accidentally obtained could bring him a very considerable gain.

[Emma] also said to Bai Ye, "Okay, today I wanted to inform you not to come for treatment. Yesterday's failure made me think of a way to improve your treatment plan. You should go home today and come here tomorrow to continue your treatment. ”

White Night briefly communicated with [Emma] again and returned to his apartment.

To Bai Ye's surprise, Ilsa was not at home today. I don't know where to go to gather information.

He didn't care, went back to his room, and opened the "Night City" game.

He pressed the "V" mark and started the game.

The screen slowly opened, and on the dark black background, the fluorescent red font slowly emerged.

[Passionate dreamers, you have returned to Night City again]

[As soon as you go online, you received a message from Rogge. 】

["V, it's me, Rogge. Kerry hasn't come back yet, I'll let you know if he does. I contacted you today because I have a special assignment, and I don't know if you are interested. ”】

["Recently, someone found a very strange place not far outside the city, which seems to be a middle school. He didn't dare to go inside, but he was very interested in what was inside, and recruited the brave ones to take a look inside. You're notoriously bold, would you like to take on a challenge? ”】

Do you want to accept this task? 】

[Yes / No]

Bai Ye looked at this task and was puzzled.

What kind of mission is this? What to Explore Middle School...... The person who posted this task was too timid. It's just a middle school, what don't you dare to explore?

Confused, he didn't immediately accept the task. It feels like whether it's Night City or the real world, there is a general rule: if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

This seemingly simple task couldn't be easier. If you can find his head, it proves that there must be something terrible.

Otherwise, this inconspicuous little job can reach Rogge's hands? even found himself who has been in the limelight recently.

Either there's a trap, or there's something unexpected waiting for you.

Bai Ye directly chose "No".

You choose not to accept this quest. 】

[As planned, you go to Wilson's weapons shop and get ready to practice using a sniper rifle.] Yesterday I suffered a loss in actual combat, which makes you feel that even with the assistance of prosthetics, you need to be more familiar with the way to use it. 】

[Wilson also just opened the door today.] Seeing you, his face was quite exciting: "I said brother, you are too self-disciplined, right?" Come to me so early, what's the good stuff to sell? ”】

[You tell him that you want to practice.] 】

[Wilson certainly agrees, and as his good brother, you don't have to pay a penny to use his backdoor training ground.] 】

["By the way, Wilson, I just saw an unusual mission. "When you were chatting with Wilson, you accidentally said that task that Rogge had offered, and shared it with Wilson as a fun thing. 】

[Unexpectedly, after Wilson heard this, his face suddenly became ugly! ] The usual heartless smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden. 】

["Big brother, don't tell me you accepted that mission! Wilson said to you with a look of horror. 】

[You are a little baffled, I don't know why his reaction is so big. 】

["What's wrong? Why did you react so much? It's a strange task, but it's not like that. You say to Wilson. 】

[Wilson said solemnly: "A little strange? Just a little? ”】

["Don't you know? Since technology developed high enough decades ago, there is no such thing as a middle school! Only companies such as Arasaka, as well as their private schools, which used to be for the general public, have all disappeared. Ordinary people don't need to learn anything, what they want to know, just write it with a chip! ”】

["In other words, in this task, the so-called middle school should not exist 100%! ”】

Looking at Wilson's statement in the game, Bai Ye suddenly felt a chill.

According to Wilson, the concept of "school" no longer exists, so what is it that Rogge wants to explore in his mission?

It's a good thing I didn't accept that task!

[You think for a moment and ask, "Is it possible that this mission is going to explore an abandoned school?"] Although there is no concept of a school anymore, the original building should still be there, right? ”】

[Wilson said categorically: "Absolutely impossible! The space in Night City is at a premium, who would leave that much space unused and left vacant in place? ”】

["And as you said just now, that school is still outside the city!"] That's even more unlikely, the schools are all in the city, and I have never heard of any schools outside the city. It's definitely a trap!! ”】

[Looking at Wilson's serious face, you promised him not to accept this task.] 】

But at this time, Bai Ye had another thought in his heart.

He was very interested in this place.

According to Wilson, this is a place that should never have existed, a "ghost" school.

He had a feeling that this place must have some connection to [weird]. It may even be one of the [Strange Disasters] in itself.

White Night pondered. Anyway, I will soon go to the [Weird Gathering Place] outside the city to look for medicine, so this mission, maybe I can give it a try and let myself know more about weird things.

He decided to accept the task and explore!

But only if you get enough information from Rogge.

[You suddenly turn around and tell Wilson that you have received an urgent mission.] And left. 】

[You drive the car to the "afterlife" bar. 】

[On the way, you dialed Rogge's phone.] 】

"Rogge, it's me, V. The quest you just gave me had a strange feeling. I'm kind of tempted to explore, but you'll have to tell me everything you know. I don't want to be a fool to die for nothing. ”】

[Rogge agreed very simply: "No problem.] You come to the afterlife bar, and we'll see you in the box. ”】

[You soon arrive at the "Afterlife" and go straight to Rog's box. Rogge didn't seem to expect you to come so quickly, a little surprised. 】

"So fast? You're a man of action. Rogge said lazily. 】

[You sit across from her: "Okay, I know that task is absolutely abnormal, who did you get this kind of task from?" And what about the pay? I want to know all these things. ”】

[Rogge laughed: "You are really a good mercenary, and your sense of smell is quite keen.] Yes, this task is a bit strange, and I never thought that I would receive such a task in my hands. ”】

["Earlier today, I suddenly received a strange communication. The number is not visible and there is no reminder. From my sources, I don't know who contacted me. Isn't that strange, you say? ”】

Bai Ye looked at Rogge's statement and agreed in his heart. Rogge is the biggest middleman in the area, and no street news can escape her ears. It can be said that things that even Rogge does not know, almost non-existent.

["Is it a hacker? "You guessed. 】

[Rogge agrees, "I think so too. But this guy struggled to get in touch with me, but he was only interested in one thing. That's the task that was just released to you. ”】

["Actually, I didn't just release that task to you. The same content was sent to several good mercenaries, but all of them refused. It seems that everyone has survived until now, and they are not stupid. I'm glad I did. Rogge continued. 】

["Also, the person who posted the task also told him his name."] Rogge said mysteriously, "This man calls himself Mr. Blue Eyes." ”】

Mr. Blue Eyes?

Who would have a name or code name like that?

In the age of cyber, prosthetics are like clothes, and they are very easy to change.

Anyone can just change their blue eyes.

What does the so-called "Mr. Blue Eyes" represent?
