Sauron retrieved the data from the computer.

My mind kept thinking.

"If it's Ignes, it makes sense."

"In the original game, he wanted to defeat the strongest martial artist and prove himself......"

"So...... Could it be that Ignis wants to do something to resurrect himself and then defeat the martial artists again and relive the plot of KOF2001? ”

"Oh no."

"Actually, the player is also a martial artist."

Sauron frowned, his nervousness growing, there were some things that he better not know.

Seeing him like this, Ark came up to him and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Sauron ignored him.

Ark put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey? ”

However, in the next moment, an extremely terrifying aura spread all around, and Ark broke out in a cold sweat, and his fingers couldn't even take his fingers off Sauron's shoulder.

Marsh said solemnly, "Sauron...... Take back your killing intent. ”

Sauron was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head and exhaled a cloudy breath: "I'm sorry...... This script is too complicated, and the final boss may involve the enhanced Ignis, and I accidentally ......"

"Sauron." Hooded and masked, Qasim stepped out of the gloomy corner: "I found the core module of the ship. ”

“…… Got it. Sauron opened his special backpack compartment and took a card from it and handed it to Kassim.

【Kite Eiichi Summoning Volume】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Summons a genius inventor of the "Encyclopedia of Strange Heavens" "Eiichi Kite"]

[Brief description: Eiichi Kite, an upright person, good at electronics, mechanics and chemistry. Almost all of the funds for making props come from pocket money and New Year's money, and I have also picked up garbage to make props.

Qasim was stunned: "This...... It's not what you're going to ...... on the train."

Sauron said, "Let Eiichi Kide come out now and fix the spaceship for me." ”

He came to Ignis's dried corpse, and with a flick of his fingers, Ignis's body turned to dust.

"The real body is no longer here."

"Marsh! Ark! Follow me again to find out if there's any hidden information here! ”

……

The other side.

[Hidden Line Completed: The Truth of the Curse, Malice from the Sound Nest, Find the Archives]

[Reward: 15000 XP, 9000 Gold, Magic Candy*2]

[XP is stored until you get off the train]

【"Magic Candy" can be used on the train】

Although the sound of the system's settlement appeared, the three players present were not in the mood at all.

Tom looked at his severed hands, tears appeared in his eyes, the hands were gone, and everything was over.

Nanami and Marje stood still, watching the intruder.

Marger knew he couldn't be mistaken, the person in front of him was Faust.

Faust, who is 2.82 meters tall and weighs only 55KG, was once a genius surgeon, kind and responsible, and curing patients is his happiest thing.

Until one point, a girl's surgery was manipulated behind her back, resulting in the failure of the operation and the girl's death, and since then Faust has completely become a madman, wearing a paper bag mask, and shuttling through the night. Save people in another way - kill people.

But then the guy regained his goodwill and became a doctor again, but the neuroticism engraved in his brain was also preserved.

In short, Faust has now fallen into a state of madness.

He kept muttering, "Sound nest...... It's your nest...... Die to death, Sound Nest ......"

Marger listened to Tom's roar, his brow furrowed.

Can you win a fight now?

No.

The answer only takes a second to know.

Tom had already told them with his own hands that Faust was so strong that he could kill a decent level 25 player in an instant.

"Damn it......" Nanami took out the blood pill and knelt down on one knee beside Tom, and was hesitating whether the Grand Duke was selfless when Maljay suddenly pulled out his gun.

"Mr. Faustus, is you?" He asked.

"Oh...... You know me? Faust's somewhat nervous voice came out of his paper bag hood, still crisp.

This guy is a good guy.

It's essentially a diode.

He couldn't even tell the difference between saving people and killing people, but in Faust's inner scale, saving people was more important than anything else.

Even when he later faced his enemies, he thought about saving them first......

"We're not from the sound nest." Marje said.

This was obviously a misunderstanding, but Faust was red-eyed, and there was no misunderstanding.

"Faust, you've hurt the wrong person."

"You are here, isn't it the sound nest......" Faust raised his slender arm and said madly, "You bastards, hahahahaha!" Bad people never say they're bad guys! ”

"I see." Marjie asked in a deep voice, "I ask you, if it was someone you hurt yourself, would you save it?" ”

"Killing people is also a way to save people." Faust said.

Bang!

After a single gunshot.

Tom had an extra bullet hole in his abdomen, and he looked incredulously at Marger, who was pointing the smoking muzzle at him.

Nanami also frowned: "Hey...... What are you doing......"

Faust watched as Marger shot Tom in tears, first indifferently, and then suddenly he covered his head: "Damn...... Bastard, you bastard! ”

"Would you, then, Doctor Faustus, come and save poor Mr. Tom?"

Marger's voice lingered in Faust's ears like the whispers of an old god.

"Hey...... I, I won't ......"

"You will, you will, you can't leave the wounded alone." Marje said firmly, "Because I'm also a doctor." ”

Faust's eyes in the paper bag froze.

"I'm going to kill that girl next, and you can stop me and kill me before I can do it." Marjie raised the corners of his mouth: "But then, hum...... Faust, you have not been able to save anyone, and you are the source of all the tragedies. ”

Faust stood there motionless.

Marje continued: "What is the doctor most afraid of? ”

Faust: "You ......"

Marger: "It's death. ”

Faust lowered his arm, and the guy took out the medical equipment from his coat, walked over, and began to treat Tom, and by the way, he also connected his hand.

"And you can't kill us yet." Marger continued: "Doctor Faustus, we have a patient here that needs your treatment. ”

Faust was stitching Tom's arm, with his back to Marjie, and asked, "What kind of patient?" ”

The current Faust was forcibly turned into the good doctor.

In other words, Marje turned him into a temporary ally.

"A girl is infected with a special virus, and we have no choice but to watch her die."

"What kind of doctor are you?"

"Hmph, proctologist."

Nanami thought that Marjie was joking, but in fact, the above conversation was a rare serious answer for him.

At this time, Marjie quickly contacted Li Nuo.

"Damn...... There is a problem with the signal. He asked instead, "Faust, tell me what happened and why you have a grudge against the nest." ”

"A little boy was transformed into a monster by them." Faust's short sentence hides a tragedy that cannot be seen directly, and he continues: "I have been here for a long time, but their people seem to have long since withdrawn, hehehe...... I guess this is a trap in the first place. ”

Faust said briefly.

He was commissioned by a man and a woman to investigate the matter of human cloning.

The two, the girl with short white hair and big breasts, and the man with long blue hair and sunglasses.

"Angel and K999?" Nanami immediately reacted that she was a martial artist from the "KOF" series.

"What about them?" Marje asked.

Faust shrugged his shoulders: "I've gone to another base." ”

[Hidden Quest Line Triggered: Truth 2]

[Level: Lv35]

【Reward: ??? 】

What do you mean?

Marjie was stunned.

At this moment, the incandescent light that had been flickering suddenly went out, and in an instant, the backup light source here lit up, and the white light enveloped the entire room.

Not only that, but they heard the sound of the machine running.

All of this is an indication that someone has entered the area and fixed the power supply.

Nanami has already reacted: "The people from the sound nest are here, and it is estimated that they will be killed." ”

It's not that simple, Marje thought.

Except for Faust, the rest of them...... It's impossible to get out unharmed.

It's not that he's looking down on his side.

For example, the participants in the mission of Hikami Mountain, Li Nuo, Cha Bai, Ichijo Akira and Kanzaki Thirteen, these four people can fight better than Nanami, plus a Wells who is close to Nanami, it is only through that the plot of Hikami Mountain is opened.

Among them, if it weren't for Li Nuo picking up Xiuchiyo's short knife, Ayane would probably burst out of the third form, and the five of them together might not be able to clear the level without incident.

The intensity of the sound nest will not be lower than that of the sunrise mountain.

What's more, the script has only started for a long time, and if you consume too many bullet resources now, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

The good news is that the internet signal has also been restored.

Marger immediately contacted Li Nuo.

This time, the signal was not interrupted and was connected smoothly.

"Not dead yet, huh?" Li Nuo came up and asked directly.

Marger said calmly: "Pull us out, I found Faust." ”

When Leno heard Faust's name, he immediately understood what Marger meant.

"Wait for me."

At the same time as the communication was disconnected, Malger summoned a virtual avatar of Victor.

"Hey, old man." Victor greeted in the standard Night City tone.

"Victor, help me find all the computer hosts and tie them together!" Maljie shouted, the computer has the key data of the sound nest, as long as the content of the data can be cracked and recovered, you can know what the plan of the sound nest is.

At least that's what Marger thought.

Tom was sitting in a daze as Victor sorted out his computer, and the scene was imprinted in his mind like a post-war reaction, and no one could change his mindset when he saw his hand cut off and sewn on.

Nanami looked at him and sighed heavily: "If you feel like you're a burden, do what you can do with a burden, such as strapping bombs to help me evacuate." ”

Tom looked down: "I need some time......"

Nanami: "If you think you're okay, cheer yourself up." ”

Tom: "Hmm...... Me, okay. ”

At that moment, an amber portal appeared behind Malger, and Leno's mechanical hand protruded from it.

Portals?

Why isn't it a [fetch leather bag]?

Doubts struck Marger's head, but he didn't have much time to think.

Victor hugged the computer and smiled, "This hand is very familiar." ”

"Nonsense! It's that bastard! Marje shouted, "Hold me, everybody!" Including you Victor, and you Faust! You've taken my order! ”

Except for Victor, none of the rest of the people wondered.

Right now.

Messy footsteps rang out outside.

Marger put a sound transmitter on the way in and outside, and he could clearly hear the people outside:

"The clones are all destroyed."

"There's a high intensity of reactive energy in the archives."

"Destroy the archives."

Depend on!

Marjie: "Catch me!" ”

As soon as the words fell.

Smack.

Boom –

The flames shattered the thick walls of the archives.

This firepower is aimed solely at destroying the entire area.

In an instant, the place was reduced to rubble.

Sound nest crews in gas masks stood around the rubble, and one of them was holding a microphone: "The vital signs are gone. ”

……

Entrance to the slum.

Buggy parked on the side of the street.

Li Nuo, Cha Bai and Kanzaki Thirteen, the three of them pulled a group of people out of the portal.

They didn't use the [Fetch Leather Bag], but used a clear yin-yang technique to locate Marjie's location, increase the range of the teleportation spell, and pull Marjie and the others over.

Tea Bai was tired and directly injected himself with a tube of ether to restore his magic power.

Li Nuo was adamant that she would not be allowed to use the [Fetch Leather Bag], and the cooldown of that thing was destined to make it difficult for them to use it a second time in the script.

[Fetch Leather Bag] This kind of prop, Li Nuo has a more critical use.

On the other side, Ichijo Ming watched Maljie's gang fall to the ground, they covered their heads, looking dizzy, this girl couldn't help but cover her mouth: "I didn't expect my summoning divine yin-yang technique to be used like this?" ”

Li Nuo walked straight to Faust, stretched out his hand and smiled, "I have heard the name for a long time, doctor, you must help us well." ”

Faust saw in the eyes of this man a quality that resembled himself.

He was also a sick man.

"Okay everyone, go to Sister Mei Huo." Li Nuo turned around and shouted: "One, pack those two policemen and bring them over, I want them to be useful." ”

Ichimei: "Be quiet!" ”

Maljie stood up and dusted off.

"Is something happening to you here?"

"I'll tell you on the way." Li Nuo whispered, turned his head to the people behind him, and said, "Thank you." ”

He's talking to Nanami and Tom.

One of them was silent, and the other nodded.

On the road.

Faust took the white blood and put it in a small bottle.

He was carrying all kinds of medical equipment, and even had a folding wheelchair in his arms, and no one knew how this guy got in, anyway...... Don't compete with Japanese game characters.

Because as long as they need it, their chrysanthemums can be turned into mental space rifts.

Faust: "It's not easy...... Miss is not ......."

"Shhhh......h ”

Faust said, "I only treat people." ”

Li Nuo smiled and said: "Then let me ask you a question, some kind of weird virus, like a network virus, erodes the body, it will spread like a cancer cell, until this person becomes crazy, until this person hurts the people around him, until this person dies, what kind of advice will you give me?" ”

Faust: "What kind of opinion?" ”

Li Nuo said calmly: "I want her to live." ”

Faust smiled, "Hey...... If you can take her soul out and replace it with a new container, you'll be all set. ”

"That's right." Li Nuo tilted his head, his pupils turned away: "Can I understand that not only should she replace her body, but also the key brain and heart should be preserved." ”

"If she's human, it's okay to sacrifice her soul." Faust points to the lifeline: "But if it's just a set of data, what you need is ...... Hey...... The data core is also preserved. ”

Li Nuo thought: In other words, Chabai's core furnace still needs to be there, and it needs her memory as a support.

The only way back to "Nier Automata"?

Faust took out a tube of reagents: "If she starts to go crazy, give her this injection, rest assured, no side effects, but only stop it once." ”

"Thank you, doctor."

"I'll continue to study her limited number of cells and try to give you an answer within five hours."

"Thank you, doctor."

Li Nuo can't recall the first time he thanked the doctor.

He finally got out of the hospital in his life.

But you have to brand the doctors again.

Fate.

Li Nuo could only think so.

Cha Bai walked in front and listened silently.

She didn't want to just wait, she could die someday, but until then, it would be useful to at least die.

This is the definition of the role and survival value of the "Parasitic Leaf Force" imprinted in her mind.

Then, on the way, Lino and Marjie put the situation in check.

"If the sound nest is behind the situation, then Ignis's identity is very interesting......"

When Marger heard Li Nuo say this, he also said, "I doubt it...... Ignis will appear. ”

"Don't doubt it...... There is a high probability that it will appear. Li Nuo shook his head: "No...... There are still doubts that have not been resolved, and your computer can't crack it? ”

Marje looked at the host that was loaded by Victor in a cart and said: "Multi-layer encryption, and it is special file encryption, there should be a folder that has been destroyed, and there is no way to rely on cyber technology." ”

At this time, they had arrived at Mei Huo's residence.

Amano Piao is still drinking under the fake cherry blossom tree.

The full moon is in the sky.

It's silent.

When Tianye Piao saw this large group of troops appear, he was so frightened that he woke up.

Kanzaki Thirteen rushed over and lifted Amano Piao up, Mei Huo came out of the house, and Ichijo Ming ran over crying, saving Mei Huo's waist, shouting about the suffering of these days.

Nanami looked at this scene and fell into deep thought: "This group of characters that can only be seen in the game is actually flesh and blood. ”

"Isn't this nonsense?" Li Nuo said: "We are also characters in the game, theoretically, they are also people living in a real world, exactly like us. ”

Cha Bai bowed slightly.

Mei Huo walked over, and Li Nuo said with a smile: "It's the gate of the Yellow Spring, there is a gate of the Yellow Spring in the Rishang Mountain, and there is a mirror world in it, there is only so much we can do...... I'm so sorry. ”

Mei Huo took out a knife, quickly cut off his little thumb, handed it to Li Nuo, and said: "According to our agreement, this is what I want to give you, and the rest of my fingers still need to hold the knife, I can only give you my little thumb." ”

Li Nuo took it, and then he and Cha Bai heard the sound of the system together.

[Hidden Line Completed: Find the Exorcist in the Ghost Compound]

[Task reward: 8000 experience points, 5000 gold coins, Mei Huo's skill teaching, Amano Drift's skill teaching]

At the same time as hearing the sound of the system, a card appeared in each of his and Cha Bai's hands.

In Li Nuo's hand is the [Amano Drifter's skill card].

Cha Bai is [Mei Huo's skill card].

This card can be used once to learn a move of the card character.

"What are you looking at, boy!"

At this time, Mei's angry voice appeared.

Li Nuo raised his head and glared at the dead fish.

In order to get a good look at Mei's fiery figure, Marjie himself didn't even realize that he had put his face on the strong woman's chest.

Mei Huo couldn't cut him because of Li Nuo, so he could only dodge sideways, and Nanami held his forehead and pulled Marjie's hair away to pull this guy away.

Li Nuo looked up.

Look at this bunch of guys.

Nanami: "So your cool is all disguised, right......"

Marjie: "Miss Nanami, that's part of my nature. ”

Amano Piao: "Alright, let's come in quickly." ”

Ichimei: "I can sleep in bed......"

Kanzaki 13: "One piece, there is no bed here......"

Faust: "Hehe, how's my brother's hand?" ”

Tom: "Ah...... No, it's okay! Freedom of movement, hahahahahaha......"

Victor: "Brother Ma, find me a power supply, I have to turn on the computer and see how to crack it." ”

Mei Huo: "Come in, especially you kid, and tell me what's going on." ”

The last words fell on Li Nuo, who nodded.

"It's as if all the burdens have fallen on your shoulders." Cha Bai whispered, "Ciri's words have come true. ”

Li Nuo: "What? ”

Cha Bai: "Carrying her and the people you can trust, over the mountains?" ”

Li Nuo was stunned.

"So you heard that?"

"I'm an artificial human, and my hearing is very developed."

"You're too heavy."

"Okay, don't talk about it......"

Li Nuo slandered, but there are actually only two people I can trust......

Cha Bai picked up Mei Huo's fingers.

The voice of the system is already ringing in my ears:

[Whether to consume 4500 gold coins to advance the identity]

She followed behind Li Nuo and whispered, "Yes." ”

【Gold deducted】

【Progressing】

Everyone had already walked into Mei Huo's half-collapsed house.

Li Nuo and Marjie found that Cha Bai did not follow up, and when they turned around, they saw Cha Bai standing in place, although she was wearing an eye patch and a face mask, but judging from the stiffness of her body, something was wrong.

Cha Bai said slowly: "The advanced is complete, I'm a little ...... Astonished. ”

She set the panel to be visible to Leno and Marger.

These two are well-informed.

But I was also scared.

[Identity: Focused]

[Activation conditions: Make a classic and middle two famous quote, such as "I am the man who wants to become the king of the pirates!"] "It's not me that's wrong, it's the world!" "This is the choice of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny!" , please do it]

[Closing condition: crying or acting contrary to that sentence]

[Effect 1: Lowers the price of any item purchased in the script or in the mall by 50%]

[Effect 2: If the main or side quest is being opened at the end of the main quest, the experience points will be increased by 50%, and the gold obtained will be increased by 50%, which will be common to teammates]

[Effect 3: 50% chance to increase the chance of encountering high-strength enemies]

[Effect 4: If you encounter an extremely difficult problem, you can solve the problem because of an accident (each script can only be used once, and the problem cannot be so difficult that it cannot be solved)]

[Effect 5: Trigger the skill "Eye of Straight Death EX", 100% focus on the target's core weakness (can be used twice per script)]

[Effect 6: An accident will definitely occur in the case of death, resulting in the event not allowing you to die, cooldown: 1 month of script time]

[Negative effect: If the opening time is more than 24 hours, the more dangerous the teammates, and every time a teammate dies, shout "Athena", you can get a chance to randomly increase all attributes]

[Note: Effects 1, 2, and 3 are passive skills, and the remaining 4, 5, and 6 are active skills]

Li Nuo: "Three Kingdoms Kill, ......"

Marjie: "It's still a god card." ”

It looks complicated, but in fact, the entries in it are divided into two camps according to pure auxiliary and causal, the most special ones are effects 4 and 6.

The use of [identity] is not as brainless as imagined, and it is necessary to screen the adoption and selectivity that is needed now.

For example, Li Nuo's [Remnant Blood] can add points at will, and the power type adds a large number of values to spiritual power, which is a pure work.

Like Chabai, which is completely a weakened version of the "protagonist's aura", he can make good use of the active skills of [Focuser] to overcome almost unsolvable difficulties.

This is the peculiarity of the identity holder.

Combat effectiveness and auxiliary abilities are inherently more plug-ins than others, but the negative impact will always exist, after all, if people want to obtain a special identity, they must also bear the negative impact of ability.

"It's awesome...... Li Nuo glared at the dead fish eyes and said, "Give me your ability, I can play with flowers......"

Marjie nodded: "Perfect support, even the negative effects are beneficial to yourself." ”

Cha Bai shook his head: "The real negative effect should be to increase the chance of encountering enemies, otherwise...... Seemingly...... It's all ...... Li Nuo, looking at it this way, it seems that [Identity] is a composite of various skills. ”

At this time, Victor shouted in the house: "Brother Ma, let's see how to crack it." ”

In the midst of the noise, Victor has found the power cord and activated the computer he brought from the Soundnest base, where the most critical files are kept.

Marger went over, and Victor and the two began to figure out how to crack this thing.

Ichijo Ming and others gathered around.

They're just curious about what the structure of a computer is.

After all, except for Mei Huo and Faust, the rest of the martial artists here are from the era when computers were not born.

Seeing that they were pondering, Li Nuo sat on a plastic chair, stepping on the [weapon case], unlocking a new posture, his eyes slightly wrinkled.

Nanami sat not far away, looked at his plastic chair, and complained, "You still bring a chair with you?" ”

Tom said, "Big brother has been with him for a long time. ”

"Are you nostalgic?" Nanami laughed, "What, what came to mind?" ”

They don't know anything about the hidden worldview.

"Ah, there are a lot of doubts." Li Nuo analyzed suspiciously: "According to what Lao Ma said, can I understand the special task you have obtained...... In fact, because of cyber technology, you have skipped a lot of task points, otherwise the line of the sound nest, what you should experience is ......"

He took a deep breath.

"First, become a famous martial artist in the underground arena, be favored by Antonio or other big shots, and then they will send the player a mission."

"Solve Faust."

"From this, two lines are developed, one is the sound nest line, and the other is the anti-sound nest line."

"The Sound Nest line is connected to the fight between the police and the gangsters, that is, after you and the Sound Nest have eliminated Faust or the fighters involved, you can join the Sound Nest or be appreciated by Guise."

"The anti-sound nest line docking day up the mountain, or other lines, in short, must help Faust survive, and then find Angel and K9999, and these three people and the martial artists who may exist but have not yet appeared, start to contact the secrets of the sound nest, and finally defeat a certain character, get the key to enter the archives, and get the right to view the archives database, so as to unlock the true secrets of the sound nest."

"However, because Malger crossed several mission points and entered the archives like a bug, resulting in the destruction of the archives, this line should have been modified."

Listening to Li Nuo say this lot, Nanami was stupid.

She had thought that Marger's mind had jumped enough, and here came an even more ruthless one.

Tom whispered next to him, "This might just be the usual operation......"

Nanami kind of understood...... Why would someone as capable as Marjie listen to this grotesque boy?

Faust heard it and said, "I don't understand it, but it seems that you mean that you saved me." ”

Li Nuo smiled: "So please repay us well and save the people who saved us." ”

Faust: "Hey......hey"

However, the analysis on Li'Nuo's side is not over yet.

As he said, one point brings out a line, and after multiple points and multiple lines, it is a surface covering.

"Now there are two options."

"Wait for Marger to figure out how to crack the data."

"Or do things along the anti-nest line."

Li Nuo lowered his head when he thought of this.

There were still more than 10 hours left in the mission, enough for him to do these lines, but there was an even more ruthless plan in his mind.

Previously, he introduced that the items obtained from the 25 prologue missions were all the tools to crack the line of Allah.

Then, taking advantage of the present, it may be a more important choice to collect these 25 things.

If you are another player, you will be happy to do it as long as you have one of the above ideas, but Li Nuo must avoid the most dangerous one and choose the option with the highest benefit value.

Intelligence, still too little.

Now that Marger and Victor are cracking the Soundnest Archive, there must be special evidence in it.

According to Li Nuo's experience, the so-called key point to crack the hidden line is "evidence".

That is, something that can prove the idea must exist and conform to the truth of the player's statement, and the two complement each other to be the basis.

Just like when he was on the mountain in the sun, he had the "confession" of Xiu Chiyo, he saw the gate of Huangquan, and he met the fighters of various games, and only when the "evidence" in the above categories is available, can the system acquiesce that your "statement" is valid.

Otherwise, it's a pipe dream.

Now he needs to crack the two hidden lines of the Sound Nest and Keith in order to solve all the hidden lines, at least he thinks so.

So what is needed is a character who involves two forces and can help him do things.

"Someone can help me."

While he pondered.

Chabai walked between Marje and Victor, crouched down and said to them, "If cyberpunk can't hack it, what about mine (Neil)?" ”

At this time, Li Nuo was holding the [Fetch Leather Bag].

A name was silently in my head.

Chun-Li.
