Chapter 258: Spirit Silk
Ayako Akiyama opened the door of the apartment, and as soon as she stepped in, she was pointed at the head by a gun.
She glanced sideways, and saw a woman with short blond hair, green eyes, and bandages, standing silently in the shadows.
The two looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and spoke together,
Joni, Ayako,
"You're his ex-girlfriend?"
Then there was an awkward silence,
Ayako raised her hand first,
"Take it easy, sisters, I'm Panlong Construction, the boss sent me to take care of you and send some food and drink."
Jonny released the trigger and nodded, "Thank you." β
Ayako put the shoulder bag she was carrying on the table, and looked at the bone nails on Joni's legs.
"I think you're almost fine, that doctor is quite powerful, the material is rotten, but the craftsmanship is very good, and there are no scars."
Joni sat back on the couch with a step, and noticed that the other party's whole body was highly prosthetic, and almost all of his limbs except for the head and torso had been replaced with metal prostheses.
"Ling is Lee's girlfriend?"
"What? Of course not, at most he helped him and picked up a life, and now he has to work for him to pay off his debts. β
Ayako had to pick up the bandages she had changed.
Jonny nodded, putting away her pistol,
"yes, I'm pretty much the same. He saved my life. β
Ayako shrugged, took out a temporary residence permit and a work card from her bag, glanced at it, and handed it over,
"Joni, welcome to the Beaulieu Security Team. I'm Ayako.
Panlong's salary is not bad, with a basic salary of 20,000 yuan, bonuses, commissions, benefits, and occasional red envelopes. I also teach you how to drive an excavator for free ......"
Joni smiled bitterly and took the temporary residence card,
"It's only 20,000 yuan, and it's not even enough for gas......"
Ayako squinted at her, feeling that the two had just met, and there had been a huge chasm.
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, I'll help you change the dressing first. β
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Then Vi jumped in from the balcony window, looked up suddenly, and fought with Joni Ayako who was lying on the sofa bed for a while.
"W-what the hell! You two pull a room and go to the motel! Come to my house and do it! β
Joni, Ayako, "Your house?" Are you an ex-girlfriend?? β
Vi, "what a former female ......"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Don't let that stinky bitch get away!"
"Fack! Let's let one let let one! β
Wei headshot pounced, lifted the coffee table, pulled out a shotgun from under the floor, and rushed to the window while quickly reloading, "Bang Bang Bang!" "Shoot at the outside.
"Oh Shet! Heavy firepower! "Cover cover!" "I've been shot! Help me! β
Seeing that she can do it herself, Ayako also took back the mantis knife, glanced at Joni, and continued to change the dressing while watching the play,
"Who have you offended? The Vortex Gang? β
"Bang Bang Bang!"
Vi, "They're a whirlpool!" The rampant gangsters! Made's car scraping the old lady! The old lady's new car! Look at the grass - mud! β
"Bang Bang!"
Jonay, "Didn't you hear you went to Europa?" β
Wei turned his head violently, "Who said that!" who else! Broom head! Didn't that dog thing rent out my house! Dry! β
"Bang Bang!"
Ayako also asked curiously,
"Oh, so you're really his ex-girlfriend? I heard you dumped him? β
Wei was furious, "Who- what the hell did I dump him!" He dumped me!! Depend on! Broom head ahhh β
"Bang Bang Bang!"
"What's the situation!" "Who's the broom head!" "Don't fight! Don't fight! "Help! Help me! Cyber psychosis! β
Ayako's eyes emitted a gossip light, and she took out a jar of cool baboon from her bag and threw it to her,
"Hey, let's talk about it. How did you meet? β
Wei Bangbang shot the light and scattered, and his anger disappeared, and he dried up the cool baboon and sat down on the sofa.
"Why, you all know that guy? Damn, that kid was so introverted back then.
It's so good at flirting, no wonder they don't care about me, cut, the guy who likes the new and hates the old......"
Joni, "...... Introverted? β
Ayako contacted the hexagram with the little she-wolf gossiao.,Instantly understood.,
"I understand, you ran away with the rich woman, which stimulated him to the point that his temperament changed greatly."
Vi jumped up, "Nonsense! What I ran with a rich woman! It was he who refused to come! And I've said it all! Protect the little rich woman, Kellman is willing to vouch for our citizens, and arrange a job!
I live in an industrial area, and when people see my hukou, they treat me as a whirlpool gang, and only striptease nightclubs are willing to accept my resume! Do you follow him to pick up garbage all your life! I finally had a chance to jump out of the pit of the Night City, of course I had to go!
As a result, he clearly said that he would go with me and go to Europa to fight, but suddenly regretted it on the last day!
Say what you still have to do, what you take this opportunity yourself, divide it! Just left alone! And ignore me again! Dry! β
This time Ayako was also confused, "But I heard ......"
Jonny interrupted, "It doesn't matter, how did you first meet?" Didn't he go to military school? β
Ayako hurriedly handed over a jar of cool baboons,
"Yes, tell me how you met for the first time?"
"You know the details of his military school? Wouldn't they all have slept with bastards...... Tsk, this scumbag ......"
Wei scratches his head,
"Okay, in fact, that kid used to be quite a house, we only met online at the beginning, and he has always teamed up to rank on the score, and he often taught me some tactical and mechanical knowledge, and it was okay to chat, but it was inconvenient for the military school to come out, and I had never seen it.
Then one day, he contacted me in a private message, saying that he had graduated and asked me to meet offline. I thought he had finally figured out, so he dyed his hair and changed his skirt to meet him......"
Wei was silent for a while, as if recalling the scene at that time, and then said slowly,
ββ¦β¦ As a result, I saw him being lynched in the garbage dump by a dozen scumbags, as if he was an enemy of the military academy, stuffed into the mixer, and broke one hand......
Fortunately, I had a gun with me, so I snatched him out and looked for Lao Qin, oh, just this one in the industrial zone, the prosthetic doctor of the Vortex Gang, helped cure him.
How about it, you too, Lao Qin's skills are not bad, hey, mainly these years, he is the only one who is willing to see a doctor on credit. β
Joni and Ayako were silent for a moment.
"It turns out that you saved him."
"There's nothing that can't be saved, everyone is a cub in the night capital, and they help each other with a little effort."
Wei Da shrugged his shoulders, drank up the cool baboon, slapped the can into a cake, and threw it out the window with his hand.
Pacific bottom.
A purple-scaled ink claw, more than 12 meters long, covered with armor like steel and iron plates, with a body like a prehistoric dinosaur, but the head is a human-like monster wrapped in a white cloth, carrying an elevator container, splitting the water waves at a speed of Mach 5, and rushing straight to the bottom of the sea, just like an oversized torpedo. Boom! You have to go straight into the deep sea.
Well, this time it was Li Pan again. After all, the news was found through the mole, and there was no much preparation, so the simplest tactic was adopted, and the robbery was ran.
Fortunately, this time it was on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the fish-man prosthetic body he used had a bonus underwater, and he directly transformed into a second stage, and with the addition of 'handkerchief', he rushed vigorously, accelerated with all his strength, and swam thousands of nautical miles out of the South Pacific.
It wasn't until the elevator imploded and disintegrated under the pressure of the water, leaving only scattered containers, and there was no light at all under the seabed, that Li Pan tore off the handkerchief on his head and stopped.
I swam around the bedbed of the seabed, picked a place, and hid the 40 trillion spices deep in the garbage Pacific Ocean floor.
Well, this is stable, it is thousands of nautical miles, and it is in the deep sea, even if there is a positioning signal on the container, it is useless.
Moreover, the Pacific Ocean of 0791 is the Gaotianyuan garbage dump, where all chemical wastewater and nuclear waste are directly poured into the sea, and the scrapped ship equipment is thrown directly into the sea, and those leaking battery liquid reactors have long exploded the ocean radiation.
Now there should be a radioactive source nearby, as strong as the second-stage fishman Li Pan, who feels unwell, in this environment, let alone positioning, even if you really want to salvage, the general equipment can't operate normally.
Okay, the news has been tight recently, hide this treasure chest worth forty trillion first, this is his private money, and one day it will go bankrupt again, and then use it for emergency. Alas, after all, you really can't save money in this hand......
After taking the East XZ, Li Pan turned around and swam back to the night capital, and after coming and going, he also adapted to the company's fish-man body, the second stage of transformation.
How so...... I feel like the sea monster is still in a weak state......
After all, the strength and weakness can be intuitively compared, and the fish-man prosthetic body developed by the company was originally a marine environment specialized type based on local conditions and local materials. The body structure is also adapted to the water pressure of the deep sea and survives in the aquatic environment for a long time.
Mobility, destructive power, combat characteristics, I'm afraid it really can't be compared with the battlefield-specialized 'Rampage' and the movement-specialized 'AG-RS'. Not to mention those Dao bodies that cultivate immortal streams.
However, this body also has its own characteristics, although the mobility is lacking, the explosiveness is insufficient, but the tenacity and endurance are very tenacious, and the 'handkerchief' can be worn on the head for half an hour without taking off, which alone can make up for the problem of mobility.
And as a biological Chimera, it can continue to eat, continue to grow, according to the company's archives, the record of the 0213 water world earth, the company's original fish-man prosthesis, live for hundreds of years, and finally can grow into a Leviathan level sea monster, transformed into an undersea giant up to tens of meters high, is the kind of biological weapon that is particularly strong in the late stage.
It is said that in the final battle state, you can do another super evolution, absorb electric energy and nuclear energy, spontaneously form a nuclear furnace in the body, and explode plasma plasma cannon or something.
Of course, now Li Pan's body is a fish fry, and he can manipulate ocean water pressure, sonar detection, and a certain amount of psionic induction. Even if he swam thousands of nautical miles, Li Pan could vaguely feel the location of the PCC Spiritual Energy Dao Marker in the Night City.
Yes, this time he is not through the 'gate', but in the test through the PCC road marker, from the Mars orbit to the earth remote operation, this is all across the astronomical unit, in the future, it will be 1,300 light years round trip commute clock-in, a thousand nautical miles round trip is a der......
Swimming all the way back to the night capital, diving back to the company's research institute along the underground waterway, Li Pan also recovered his human form and climbed out of the pool to check in.
"I've been squatting in the universe for two weeks, and my body is stiff, so move a little."
Robot vacuum. Eighteen followed him and mopped the floor,
"Wow, boss, you move a little bit, and you have swam all the way to Saipan, it's too exaggerated......"
ββ¦β¦ Eighteen, delete the activity path I just had, encrypt the coordinates, and only send it to me. β
"Okay."
Li Pan looked at the fish people soaked in the nutrient solution, "Why is the priest not there?" β
Robot vacuum. eighteen
"Oh, the night capital is fighting, and the priest puts his body in the nuclear war shelter and goes back for the time being."
"Huh?? Hit again? What are you fighting when you're under martial law? Who fights with whom? β
"I don't know, it was said in the deep web chat room that a large number of troops suddenly mutinied in the city, as if they were thinking that the taxes were too high and were making trouble, storming the tax office, shelling the Tower of Night, and throwing the tax officer out of the 150th floor, which has made a big fuss."
"Oh, understand, understand, this tax is too high, everything will be deducted, and it will not let people pass. Forget about him, it's my business. β
Forty trillion in hand, Li Pan didn't bother to care about these dog-eat-, drilled back into the ecological cabin, and then closed his eyes, condensed his spiritual power, sensed the road mark, and turned on the spiritual vision.
In an instant, Li Pan's consciousness body, wearing formal clothes and wearing a handkerchief on his face, stood in front of the PCC road sign. At the core of the multi-layered ring in front of him, the purple ball of light also sensed something, opened a door, and poured out whistling wind and sand.
So as when he came, Li Pan followed the guidance of the psionic dao marker, threw his consciousness towards the passage of the PCC, and stepped through the door with the call of the wind and sand.
It was a field full of reeds, and in the lilac twilight, a white expanse of reed flowers, in the gust of wind, threw snow-like fine sand.
Yes, this is the spiritual realm, the place where the people of other worlds are called Hades, Aru, and the Reed Plains. Each reed flower symbolizes the purest source of the soul, the resting place of the soul.
Li Pan turned his head and looked at the torch behind him, the purple flame was the PCC road mark, and in the reeds not far away, there was also a faint purple light.
Anyway, they've all come to the spirit world, so by the way, let's talk about the setting of psionics in the kindergarten tutorial given by the priest.
Psyker, this is a special ability born on the 011 series Earth.
In the psychic culture, it is believed that life is born from the infinite chaotic water, the 'primordial water', and this 'reed field of life' born from the 'primordial ocean' is the so-called underworld, the spiritual realm, the destination and embodiment of the soul.
When a person dies, he will come from the material world to the spiritual realm. From this reed field down, there is chaos that goes straight to the root. And through the curtain shrouded in the reed plain, the purple sky, the sky of the underworld, you can reach the place of the Holy Spirit, the world of stars.
The Holy Spirit or anything else is not mentioned first, it belongs to the elementary school curriculum beyond the curriculum, only talking about human beings.
In the psyker's view of life and death, a complete human being is made up of five parts.
'Container', 'Name', 'Shadow', 'Life', 'Spiritual Silk'
The 'container' is the most basic, the body, the prosthesis, the container, the bionic body in the material world.
'Name' is similar to the sum total of a person's real name, identity, memory, and social relations.
The 'shadow' is not only the shadow of 'man' in the material world, but also the 'projection' of 'man' on 'chaos', 'root', 'Dirac' or 'heavenly way'.
'Life' is the essence of these reeds, pure vitality, to feed 'people'.
The 'spiritual thread', or 'spiritual connection', is the unique spirituality of each person. Combine all of the above parts, links exist.
Only when the five parts are combined can a complete and sound 'person' be formed.
Therefore, after death, the 'container', 'name' and 'shadow' of the material world will also disappear, the 'life' will return to the reed plain, and the 'spiritual silk' will return to the great spirit of each world, and with the birth of new life, it will join the new cycle to form a new 'man'.
However, there are some psionic talents who can use special rituals and technical means, such as saving 'containers', recording 'names', reproducing 'shadows', and making new soul containers, 'spirits'.
Then, the 'spirit silk' alone is combined with the 'life' to form a complete and independent 'living being', so that the final and complete death can be avoided by constantly replacing new containers.
'Beings', plus 'spirits', these are the basic building blocks of a psyker.
Of course, this is a completely different system from that of immortal cultivators, but if you have to copy it rigidly, Li Pan feels that immortal cultivators are out of the body, and there may be similarities.
However, compared to the 'living beings' who fuse the two, the 'primordial spirit' is simply 'out of the body', so it may be closer to the fusion of 'name' plus 'shadow' plus 'life' and 'spirit silk'.
Of course, you don't need to dig too deep into the specific setting, and this special thing is not to be admitted to graduate school, as long as you can use the PCC road mark, borrow the Tao from the spirit world, and transfer it between the 'containers'.
In the blink of an eye, Li Pan, who had returned to the KAWAWU-class captain's room through the spirit realm, stretched his waist and sat up from the bed. I turned on the camera and looked out the window.
Mars
MARS-ORCUS-FORTRESSβIII
This is the Orkus 3 fortress, built on the edge of the Orkus crater, this crater about 380 kilometers long, 140 kilometers wide, located in the eastern hemisphere of Mars, probably caused by an asteroid tilting collision, the crater edge protrusion is 1,600 meters higher than the surrounding plain, and the No. 3 military station is built on the commanding height.
As the permanent fortress of the Martian MM, this large military fortress has complete training facilities and barracks facilities, a large amount of food and ammunition reserves, can accommodate up to 100,000 military personnel on a permanent basis, and is also one of several training bases for reservists to be called up for training.
After all, what age is this, even if you are mobilized urgently, it is impossible to send a box of bullets to let you go to the battlefield, and the gun will follow your teammates to pick it up, right?
Therefore, the reservists, cadets, civilians, and social animal farmers who are conscripted into the army will be pulled from the earth to Mars to assemble, crowded in the stuffy and smelly infantry battalion, eating potatoes, and training with the devil instructors of the Martian MM, as short as a week or as long as several months, according to the types and needs of the troops, with basic military knowledge and equipment maintenance knowledge, and then reorganized, stuffed into warships, and put into the battlefield.
Of course, Li Pan is a company dog with capital and shares, and when he comes up, he will donate a cruiser, directly jump three levels in a row, and his military rank will be directly increased from a bar of the third class to a commander of four bars, of course, there is no need to squeeze together with other reserves and sit in prison.
In fact, with his school grades, he graduated seriously, and he didn't go to the bullshit Security Bureau, and he also had a star in the army, and the corporal Cao started, and the job was not so difficult to find.
But didn't this happen to Ito later, everyone made a lot of trouble, they didn't kill him on the spot, and supported Li Pan until graduation, so they made a file error, and directly lost his transcript, graduation certificate and a star, and he couldn't even find a job, so he could only pick up garbage.
Of course, now he has uncovered the skull of the enemy to make a wine glass, but let me ask you what if you are an ordinary person, who has no money, no ability and no ability.
Li Pan scratched his head, didn't think about these things in the past, put the gray engineer uniform loose on his body, and didn't buckle the collar, so he walked out of the cruiser with his military boots on his side, and his index finger was idling with the spiritual energy gold ring, and he wandered directly to the army canteen.
You must know that Mars has not been transformed by habitability, only a certain atmospheric content and temperature have been adjusted, and a few super-large greenhouse farms have been encircled, which are especially suitable for growing potatoes.
So the surrounding gendarmes, when they saw that Li Pan was walking in the Martian atmosphere without even wearing SBS, they didn't need to check his soldier number to know that he couldn't be provoked, and they didn't dare to question his appearance at all.
Li Pan didn't want to answer these soldiers, before this departure, he spent a week tying up a large number of vampires, using the method of divine religion to seal the six senses, and put them in a sealed bag in the cabinet of the captain's room.
Moreover, in the 0791 cosmic vacuum cultivation of immortals, the condensation of true qi is inexplicably faster than on the earth, this journey of 1,300 light years, Li Pan can simply stay in the captain's room, retreat back and forth!
But didn't you just commit another crime, anyway, go have a meal and show your face.
Soon the opportunity came to the door.
A group of reserve recruits fight in the cafeteria.
Or more accurately, a group of people beating one up.
This kind of scene Li Pan is really familiar, and the butterfly will stand up in front of the recruits.
After all, he's always been the one who was beaten up.
Then just kill a few and leave an alibi.
