The more the little girl looked at Li Nuo, the more frightened she felt.

The witcher's pupils glow yellow at night, a different kind of technological glow from the prosthetic eye, a cold-blooded light that comes from the depths of the flesh.

The girl turned around and tried to run, but almost crashed into the monster's gaping jaw.

Bang!

A bullet popped out of the mouth of the Mallorian pistol, and a bloody hole was spun into the monster's upper load!

The monster let out a suppressed roar and lunged towards Li Nuo, who had injured it.

The distance of more than ten meters was instantly shortened.

Li Nuo pulled the trigger a second time.

Before the monster bites down, the bullet hits its arm, and the [gun reverse] triggers!

The monster's movements were extremely strange and writhed backwards, as if it had been frozen by a high-voltage electric current through its body.

Li Nuo pulled out his cane, the tip of the cane rubbed against the ground to give birth to sparks, and the body of the staff split and transformed into a long jagged knife, which quickly cut into the monster's body, and hooked out its liver with the momentum of [visceral crit].

At the last moment, Li Nuo took a step back, flicked the deformed whip blade with a horizontal knife, and the silver-white whip blade danced and broke the monster's neck.

Blood bloomed like a flower of death in the night.

Li Nuo hurriedly used [Retreat] to dodge the blood that spurted out.

"Oops...... I almost got bloody......"

Li Nuo clubbed the whip blade to the ground, and after a metal grinding sound, the whip blade turned back into a cane.

Then looking at the little girl sitting on the ground with a panicked face, he walked over and smiled......

In the girl's eyes, it was a mentally ill and mentally ill smile......

Girl: "Don't, don't kill me......"

Li Nuo put away his smile, stared at the dead fish eyes and said, "I'm in a panic...... Why are you killed? ”

"But you're not ......"

"Conflict of interest, isn't it normal for two people to die?" Li Nuo squatted in front of the monster and said, "Follow the main road, it's safer there." ”

He didn't care about any stumbling girl......

This is the first time to get up close and personal with a monster, and Li Nuo examines the monster's corpse.

"Isn't this a wild boar?"

"But the arms are thick, and they have evolved claws, and their teeth are very similar to those of crocodiles."

"The fur comes off, and this is ......"

"Scars?"

"It's like being slashed."

Li Nuo picked up the scar on the monster's forehead, his brow furrowed.

"This is not the effect of a random knife, the technique is smooth, he is a master of using weapons, better than me."

"Weapon master of the cyberpunk worldview?"

"Oda Hanako's bodyguard? No, there may be others, but there should be a person or organization that can seriously injure monsters, but ...... There doesn't seem to be any news about boar monsters in recent months. ”

Why did Li Nuo check the corpse of the monster...... Because he was curious, or rather, he was worried that he would have to face these creatures soon, and give himself some information in advance.

He took out the [Emir's mask] from his bosom and put it on (the number of times the mask was used was restarted after entering the new script).

【Fanged Pig】

[Level: Lv11]

[Danger: D]

[Skill: Pig Fly Pounces, Bites and Crushes]

[Attribute: Normal]

[Brief description: tell me a secret...... It's not afraid of boiling water now]

"It's not strong." Li Nuo took off his mask in disappointment.

He sniffed against the pig and saw a wisp of red smoke leading towards the mountain of garbage.

It can be judged that the pig has been in the vicinity for a long time.

Compared to the ram's horn demon who bit Adam's hammer, this pig is terrifyingly weak.

So the gap between the upper and lower limits of monsters is also huge.

Li Nuo speculated: "Aliens and monsters appeared in the same year, and the two should be related, but the gap between the upper and lower limits of monsters is so big, so the aliens are on the other side...... It might be weird. ”

He cut off the pig's front leg and put it in a bag brought from the Steam Age to use as a decoction, noticing that the little girl was still nearby.

If this was a very richly dressed little girl, Li Nuo would now pick up a mud-stained brick and stuff it in her mouth, and then rob it.

But this girl is dirty and pitiful, and there is a high probability that she has no money.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Can you do me a favor......

"Huh?" Li Nuo glared at the dead fish and asked, "Why me?" ”

The girl said, "You're not even afraid of monsters, so you can definitely enter Mewtwo, right?" ”

[Side quest triggered: Mewtwo Rover]

[Mission Level: ??? 】

[Mission Details: Help the Girl Solve the Problem]

[Reward: 3000 XP, Mewtwo Cassette "Ten Collections"]

Li Nuo calculated, 3000 experience points were enough for him to rise to level 18, and there were still more than 2 hours before the start of the race mission, so he felt that he could go and take a look.

So he asked very dryly, "What's the benefit?" ”

The girl shook her head: "I, I don't have much money. ”

Leno stood up.

"But I can promise you anything!" The girl patted her chest, and could see that the skin under her chest had been torn open, and the machinery inside was looming.

Li Nuo retrieved some money from the dead bodies of Grayson and threw it to the girl.

The girl caught it and said at a loss: "Do you want me to serve you or give them ...... Serve? ”

"Count you ruthless...... Li Nuo sighed, and then said: "Take the money to repair your body, and tell me something now." ”

……

The girl's name is Karen.

The family lives in a nearby slum.

His father is obsessed with Mewtwo, and now his whole body is trapped in Mewtwo, and he hasn't come out of his dream for a few days.

For many Night City residents, extreme poverty and homelessness are both immediate but inescapable.

Still, most people are obsessed with the glitzy show business and the luxurious lifestyle of the privileged elite.

Breakthrough advances in neurotechnology have given rise to so-called "Mewtwo Experiences," which pave the way for people to share their own private memories and emotions.

Some Mewtwo Experience products allow actors to perform in pre-set situations, creating "fake" memories and giving the audience the experience of living on screen.

"Becoming" a celebrity and experiencing the life of a drunken gold addict has made it possible for many people to escape their own tragic reality.

As a result, Mewtwo experience addiction has become a growing problem for the city's poor population.

In addition, as with all forms of entertainment media, in the dark market of Night City, there are records of illegal Mewtwo experiences.

However, Kalian's father's experience of Mewtwo is a little different from the usual.

The old guy claimed to have gotten a dream-changing Mewtwo from a man who didn't know his appearance, and didn't even charge him a penny, in which he would play himself, reminisce about the best years of his life, and even change the past in his dreams and start his life again.

Naked cyber crossing.

The biggest problem is that everything in the dream is so wonderful that once you enter the dream, you can't get out.

Just imagine, when you close your eyes and enter Mewtwo, you find that there are white peach はな, 楪カレン, Aoi つかさ, Aizawa みなみ, Kinoshita ひまり, Daimon Goro, Aiden Ashley, Vanna Bardot, and a whole bunch of other notorious guys lying on the bed next to you, can you still get out of bed?

Karen has two Mewtwo headbands in her house.

Forced to leave will cause physical damage, and there is a high probability of direct death, and his daughter Karen, who is already dying of starvation.

The best way is to make this middle-aged man resist this Mewtwo and have the idea of disconnecting himself.

For 3,000 XP, Leno tethered all his weapons to his body and put on the Mewtwo Ring.

……

The top floor of the Arasaka Tower.

Rex sat in a black sofa chair, and as a high-level member of the Arakuban, he worked until midnight every day.

And today, Rex plans to take a simple break and go home early to spend time with his children and wife.

He lit a cigarette and looked at the photo of his wife and daughter, showing a warm smile.

Rex took a leisurely puff on his cigarette.

There was a knock on the door.

He asked the woman kneeling at his feet to rise.

Lift your pants and open the door with the remote control.

"Hey, Rex, I heard that the work in Atlanta was well done?" He came in with a man of his rank named Ghent.

"Hmph, it's okay, I just scared those old guys with a gun." Rex shows his superiority: "The name of the Arakuban is a passport to the world. ”

"Modest, is there a project about the floating city, are you interested?"

"We'll talk tomorrow, I want to rest early today."

"Work is so casual ......" Gent saw the depth in Rex's eyes, and a sense of over-the-top oppression swept over his body: "Okay, Rex, but you can't break the appointment." ”

After Gent left, Rex let out a sigh.

The location is too high, it's going to be so hard......

He took off his pants and enjoyed the moment.

Two hours later, Rex walked out of the office.

Before leaving, he was going to the department to see how he was doing.

While in front of the office door, he heard the employees inside chatting, and Rex didn't intend to disturb them, just watched, watched, and kept watching, just outside the glass door.

Until someone saw Rex's shadow, and the office was silent.

He walked in, saw that everyone was working seriously, smiled, then changed his expression, and asked seriously: "How is the plan of the Seaside City chip store?" ”

After a moment of silence.

Rex's face was getting worse and worse.

An employee who saw the suspicion whispered, "That's the project that Angela is responsible for......"

Rex swept around and saw that Angela was not there, so he said, "Where are Angela's people?" ”

The employee said, "When you were on a business trip, her arm got involved in the machine and is now resting. ”

Rex: "Just put a prosthetic, the company will give it to her." ”

Employee: "But Angela's organs were removed by the gang last time at the construction site, and the company helped her recover from the operation, and she seems to have no money to return to the company......"

Rex thought for a moment and said, "Inform Angela to undergo a full-body modification surgery so that she can go to work." ”

No one dared to answer the staff.

The low-level employees of the Arasaka Group had signed some kind of unilateral sales contract, which was also handled by Rex.

Once an employee owes the company a large amount of money and does not pay it back, he or she can undergo modification surgery and contribute to the company before becoming cyberpsychotic.

In order to improve efficiency, Rex instructed employees to memorize the three laws of robotics every day before leaving work.

Employees are annoyed...... They don't seem to have any off-duty statements.

In his career, Rex has always been so busy.

He hated the atmosphere of the company, it was too depressing.

So every day I motivate my employees.

Of course, this is also a kind of motivation for yourself.

That night, Rex returned to his villa on Charter Hill in a floating car.

When he got home, he was in a good mood when he saw his virtuous wife, but his wife was also older and her passion was gone, but what to say...... Family affection is also irreplaceable.

No sooner had he sat down on the couch than his mischievous daughter ran out of the hut and threw herself into Rex's arms.

"Dad, I have a gift for you." The daughter said obediently.

Rex was pleasantly surprised: "My little darling is sensible, what day is it?" ”

"Have you forgotten?" The daughter was surprised: "Today is your birthday." ”

Rex thought for a moment...... I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten which day is my birthday.

"Daddy, close your eyes!"

Rex nodded, "Okay, I'm going to see what surprises my baby has in store." ”

A few seconds later.

The daughter shouted, "Open your eyes! ”

Rex smiled and opened his eyes, and his face stiffened......

His daughter took off her pants in front of him and pointed to something between her legs and said, "From today onwards, you have a son!" ”

Rex woke up suddenly.

He found himself lying in a hospital bed.

"What's going on!"

"Awake?" The doctor turned his head to look at him, then turned his back to look at the test sheet, turned his back to him, and said, "You were frightened in your dream, which caused a brief shock, but that's okay, it's okay now." ”

Rex let out a sigh.

Dreams......

Great, it turned out to be a dream.

"Mr. Rex, you need to take medicine to suppress the nightmare." The doctor said.

"I had a nightmare, yes, a nightmare...... That dream hit me straight to my pain and weakness......" Rex shook his head, "There's nothing more terrible than that." ”

The doctor slowly turned around and took off his mask.

His mouth was cracked to the base of his ear, blood was constantly flowing from his mouth, and he smiled at Rex in an extremely strange and terrifying arc.

"So, is this terrible?"

Rex looked at the doctor with a blank expression, then stiffened his leg and kicked over.

The doctor's body changed to Li Nuo's appearance, he walked over and looked at Rex, patted Rex's cheek anxiously, and said eagerly, "Big brother...... You're too fast, the seven-story dream realm I've prepared here has just passed two! Wake up! ”

Beep –

Karen saw her father's body begin to twitch, and poked out a line of words on the Mewtwo ring: [The user has mentally chosen to log out of the Mewtwo Experience]

"Dad!" Kalian looked at Li Nuo and asked for help: "Sir, my dad has logged out of Mewtwo!" ”

Li Nuo had already taken off the Mewtwo ring at this time, and seeing that Kalian's father was twitching, he immediately went over to unplug Mewtwo's connection.

"Ha ——!" Karen's father gasped and looked around with a blank stare...... Immediately after that, the whole person slipped from the chair to the ground because he had not eaten for a long time, and he was stunned like a fool, as if his soul was still in Mewtwo and did not return.

"What's the matter with my dad!?" Karen asked anxiously.

Li Nuo squinted and frowned...... It seems to have made him a real psychopath......

"Get out of the way." Li Nuo gently pushed Karen away, pressed his finger on Rex's head, and activated the [Seal of Yaksi], Rex's convulsive body became gentle, and his breathing gradually became smoother.

The power of the seal of law can deeply hypnotize a person, pulling him back before he has completely become a madman.

Li Nuo didn't know if [Seal of Yaxi] was useful for cyber neuropathy.

But Rex did get better.

"Dad...... Look at me. Karene held her father's cheek with tears in her eyes.

Rex looked at Karen's godless eyes and slowly spoke, "Son? ”

Syllable! Li Nuo slapped his head helplessly...... This is also a nightmare that brings it to life......

Karen took the photo of her and her father: "It's me, Kalian...... You've been in Mewtwo for days now, and you're almost dead. ”

"Mewtwo......" Rex looked at the Mewtwo headband that had fallen to the ground, and he remembered the story in his dream.

He used to be an employee of the Wasteland, but because he defaulted on the company's debts, he ended up in the current situation, and the story in his dream was just his imagination...... The daughter in front of her is the reality.

"I'm sorry, Kalian, I'm sorry......" Rex hugged his daughter.

Dreams are dreams after all, and the moment you wake up, the more empty and lost the dream becomes.

However, the nightmare made Rex afraid to recall the dream.

"Dad, you have to thank him." Karene stood up and pointed behind her: "This gentleman ......"

When she turned around, Lino was gone.

He took the cassette and left only a stack of money on the table.

……

[Completed Mission: Mewtwo Rover]

[Reward: 3000 XP, Mewtwo Cassette "Ten Collections"]

[Upgraded to Lv. 18]

Li Nuo sat back in the car and looked at the disk-like cassette in his hand, which was the cassette that made Rex fall into a dream, and it said ten kinds of Mewtwo.

"Ten collections, respectively beautiful past fantasies, future travel, savior stories, life restart, planetary pioneers; There are also school weird stories with nightmare content.,Horror hospital.,Monster chase collection.,Life is a marquee.,Crossing it into dog food.。 ”

"What the hell?"

Li Nuo put the cassette in his pocket.

According to Karlen, Rex's cassette came from a man who made him lose sight.

Alien?

Li Nuo thought, could this be what aliens are experimenting with earthlings?

"It's getting confusing."

Li Nuo thought of the [Floating Robotic Arm] that Cha Bai was going to install, and he felt that the worldview was not far from collapsing.

He started the car and stepped on the gas, and now there was still an hour before the race mission began, and it should be almost time to get to the mission location.

That quest has to do with the Hidden Worldview and the Alien Machine.

What happened to the story of "Cyberpunk", he felt that he would soon find out.

……

The other side.

Next to Victor's clinic.

Several hooded voodoo gang members gathered on the street corner.

The Voodoo Gang is a gang of mysterious hackers who operate mainly in Taiping Chau.

There are many terrible rumors about this gang, and a thousand words boil down to one sentence: they are not good people.

"Strange mechanical bodies have been collected, and her internal body cannot be deciphered, so it can be used as a research object."

"Yes, a white-haired woman, and a white-haired woman......"

"Don't attack, this is someone else's territory, create a few cyber neuroses, act as soon as possible."

Inside the clinic.

Cha Bai opened his eyes suddenly.

Victor was preparing for the operation with his props, and he immediately said, "You still need to inject anesthetics." ”

Cha Bai said: "The anesthetic effect I gave myself seems to be limited, I may still trouble you, it is better to use a larger dosage."

Victor glanced at the door: "Don't worry. ”

"When will my surgery be done?" Cha Bai asked.

Victor looked at his digital watch and said, "When the sun rises, you'll be able to welcome the city back with a new body." ”

Cha Bai smiled: "Thank you, doctor." ”

After the anesthetic injection was completed, Victor looked at the content to be transformed on the computer screen, and he shook his head: "When the sun rises, the city will usher in a new war meat grinder......"
