The light shines on Li Nuo's cornea.

Outside the window, the tall buildings are scattered in the center of the pupil.

He thought that "Octopath Traveler" would take him to a fantasy world.

Shocked.

A voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Priest......"

Leno jerked his head back, and the urgency in the depths of his gaze frightened those who shouted him.

"Mr. Priest...... You're ......" This is a woman in a long dress with skin patchwork marks on her face, and a mechanical hand on her left hand, which is common in the world of cyberpunk.

"That...... What's wrong? The woman's pupils shifted to the side.

Li Nuo followed her line of sight and saw a group of bear children sitting in the shade of the room on the downward stepped seats, staring at him one by one with big Carslan-like eyes.

[Player 5900, your current identity is a priest]

[A life file has been arranged for you that cannot be seen through]

[You are now a priest who was abandoned to a dangerous area by the company because you could not fit the implant]

The sound of the system sounded.

The sunlight shone on the building outside, reflecting the light, depicting half of Li Nuo's cheeks as soft as warm light.

"Sorry, I got distracted."

Li Nuo smiled, half of his face was in the sun, and half of his face was obscured by darkness.

"Where's that?"

Children: "What the hell do you priests do!" ”

Li Nuo put down the neon cross in his hand and touched his fingers to the black book on the table.

[Please open the book, there is information for you]

"Mr. Priest, please as soon as possible, you have other work later." The woman on the side urged.

"Priest, huh?" Li Nuo lowered his eyes and opened the book cover.

He tried to play his role as a priest.

He put himself into the groove as quickly as possible.

"Let me organize the language."

The pages smell of ink.

Words come into view.

[Everything starts in 2076, yes, player 5900, it's your story, it's the story of the witcher]

【Leaving the Demon in Night City】

"The origin story of the priest begins with an old gentleman who wears a top hat." Li Nuo lifted the felt hat on his head, and put on an expression that he thought was elegant and calm: "It's like this." ”

"What is an old gentleman?" A child asked.

"Old gentleman...... Li Nuo replied patiently and with a smile: "It's a group of prostitutes wearing human skins." ”

"Oh, I know!" A black child raised his hand: "My house is full of prostitutes!" ”

"Hi Kedan, shut up!" The woman's voice frightened the children and closed their mouths, she looked at Li Nuo, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Shenguan, this is your first job...... Don't be fooled. ”

"Good~"

"Please talk about the knowledge in the textbook, I mean, the company asked me to talk about ......"

"Okay, good~ Please allow me to educate and entertain."

Li Nuo agreed.

The book with "Inquisition" written on the hand is marked with "Military Science and Technology" in small letters on the cover, but the content of the page is "Prompt of the System".

"The old gentleman in the top hat is a bad fellow, and he likes to play tricks on people as a pastime, and pranks often arise at the spur of the moment."

[In 2076, after eating at a restaurant, the demon suddenly thought...... Let's change the world a little bit.]

[After all, compared to the world of "The Witcher", this place is still too gentle]

[Walking on the street, you won't be hanged by a cultist, you won't be eaten by monsters when you walk in the wilderness, you won't be eaten by monsters, you won't walk on the path home, you won't see your parents' heads being used as trophies by soldiers, you won't walk in a swamp, you won't become a witch's feed for dogs, you won't walk in the temple, you won't suddenly become a father's wife]

[This world is not qualified]

[The "demons" of this world are not qualified]

Lenovo's thoughts returned to Novigre, to Covell.

Return to the abandoned tavern where you first came into contact with the demon.

He combined it with the systematic exposition of the book, called the memory fragments in the brain.

"The top hat is a self-proclaimed mirror merchant, he likes to be in control, he likes to see interesting things, and when he sees that the world is not rippling, he creates some waves."

[Therefore, the demon intends to restore this world first, at least more cruelly, for example, to put the monsters cultivated by aliens from the world of "The Witcher" all over the world]

One of the children said, "But...... What does this have to do with top hats. ”

"Shh~" Li Nuo: "Interrupt again, I'll hit you." ”

The child kept his mouth shut.

The woman was satisfied.

Li Nuo coughed lightly and continued to smile and said, "So...... The top hat began his actions, such as, like a medieval wizard, to open the doors of the demon world and let the monsters appear in our world. ”

[In 2076, simply placing monsters all over the world will not satisfy the demons]

[He caught a creature called "The Player", and then, the entire story of Cyberpunk 2077 was read by him]

"The top hat also predicts the future, reads your memories and mine, and then thinks about how to write a more interesting future."

[The demon reads the player's memories and takes aim at a person, a country, and a company]

"For example......"

【V】

"Life-changing."

【New United States of America】

"Change the fortunes of the country."

【Military Technology】

"Change those in power."

[The starting point of the story is in Dog Town]

"The story takes place in a distant past."

[Protagonist V (Valerie) is tasked with protecting the new President of the United States of America, Miles, because Hansen, the leader of Dogtown, wants to attack the ...... Well, the story was supposed to be a spy war drama, but the direction completely changed, because that day, Master Mirror came to Dogtown, and V's story continued, but in the process, the demon met Miles and helped Miles]

[Rosalind Myers, she was in trouble at the time]

"When you're in trouble, a top hat may come along and help you."

[Will the devil have a good heart?] 】

"But don't trust him."

[You should know better than anyone what the demon represents]

"Because the kindness of the top hat is the abyss."

[The President of the New United States of America, Rosalind Myers, signed a contract with the Master of Mirrors]

[Just like the Mirror Master once helped a certain king establish the Nilfgaard Empire]

[The devil promised Rosalind Miles that military technology would become the ruler of the American continent]

[The flag of the new United States of America will be planted on the head of the abaya]

[As for Miles' price......]

"In a place called Touscent, he had innocents sell their souls."

[Later, Master Mirror rescued a high-level hacker and used some kind of code to teleport the real abyss into the network.]

"When some kind of curse comes to him, the world becomes his laboratory."

[The code, from Yanan, it's called—Whispers of the Old Gods]

Li Nuo was silent for a few seconds.

"Top hats make things come out that shouldn't be."

[In the deal, Miles took control of the code, the Whispers of the Old Gods...... It can cause people to hallucinate, and even produce mutations, which people in this world call "mutant cyberpsychosis"]

[The secrecy measures are so well done that no one knows that they are actually the handiwork of the new American President Myers]

[But the trader behind it is undoubtedly a demon who takes advantage of human weakness]

"No matter how the world changes, the top hat will be hidden behind it."

"It's not because he's timid, he just enjoys the feeling of sitting in the audience and watching the story."

[Myers has been staying in his "Pentagon" all these years, staying at home]

[Her mental condition is not good]

"Whoever makes a contract with the top hat will be cursed, except for a demon hunter."

"And the negative impact of the contract will definitely be beyond the imagination of the chess pieces."

[The contagiousness of the "Old God Code" is beyond imagination, and with the demons from "The Witcher" thrown into the world, the world will soon go crazy]

[Well, at this point, the whole world is in chaos]

"As a trader, the top hat always succeeds and almost never fails. Whether it's the story of the Nifgaard Empire, or the memories from witchers and warlocks, this is verified. ”

"His success, when it grows, will bring about changes in the world."

"If it's small, it may just be a broken family."

"But it's always going to cause a little bit of trouble for other people."

[Major companies need to introduce new policies to control the impact of demonization on the industry]

[The most straightforward thing is how to control those "consumables" who are already puppets, but no longer fully believe in implants due to demonism]

[Theology has been put back on the stage]

"However, there is always such a type of person who will give the top hat a headache."

"Like, the Witcher, or ......"

[The people at the bottom needed theological guidance, and the major corporations set up work units such as inquisitions to hold the minds of the people so that they could continue their notices.] The priests are born out of this background, and they have an even more interesting name - Internet missionaries.

"I, who is it?"

One of the children said, "Are you ...... Priest ......"

"That's not right." Another child retorted, "My dad said they were asshole cyber missionaries!" ”

[When the mobile forces of major corporations clean up the demonized humans or monsters, cyber missionaries will appear to spread theology, religion, and faith to the people, so that these consumable materials have a little spiritual sustenance]

Li Nuo asked, "Where did I, an Internet missionary with no asshole, come from?" ”

The children shouted, "From the company!" ”

Li Nuo asked again: "What company!" ”

The children hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Li Nuo's command gesture raised up, and then shouted: "Military technology!" ”

The woman on the side was dumbfounded.

"So, again, who am I?"

Li Nuo's words were blank, pointing to the children, and the gold outside the window was reflected behind him, and the light seemed to spread above his head.

Children: "The cyber preacher of the company, the priest who punishes the bad guys." ”

Li Nuo: "Back to the original question, what is a priest?" ”

Children: "The doglegs of the company, our preachers, the sanctioners of the top hats!" ”

Li Nuo put down his fingers: "Class." ”

The children dispersed.

The woman looked at Li Nuo: "I'll transfer the money to you later, it's hard work, I'll let someone come and pick you up." ”

Li Nuo bowed his head, his eyes were still looking at the book in his hand, looking at the unfinished story about the mirror master and himself.

[Year 2076]

[Master Mirror meets the Cairo Starman]

[He was attracted by this strange creature that he couldn't control]

[When he was looking for the traces of the Cairo star, he found the movement of the witcher who sealed him, the mirror could not cross time and space, and he stared dryly at you in the ticket test (Chapter 149)]

[From that day on, the obsession of the mirror will appear in you]

"No wonder Jacole said he saw the shadow of the Mirror Master behind me......"

Li Nuo pondered and turned to the next page.

["Fate" has borne fruit]

[You were dragged back to this world]

[Player 5900, the content related to you ends here]

……

[Next, please listen carefully to all players]

[The six players selected by the script cannot quit at will]

……

[The demon has opened the door to travel through time and space]

[If he wants to turn the world into a madman, he must be destroyed]

[Priests, Thieves, Scholars, Medicine Makers, Swordsmen, Dancers, and Merchants and Hunters Who Have Not Yet Appeared]

[Everything is entrusted to you]

……

Gamer World Basel.

The bell rang at the top of the central tower.

The slightly illusory sound of the bell echoes between heaven and earth.

The bell is not very loud and loud.

The ancient charm of incomparable vicissitudes and desolation seems to have passed through the long river of time and space from ancient times.

The voice seemed to materialize, leaving a striking message in front of the eyes of all the players of the Grand Guild.

[A player has triggered the "Demon" script]

【Octopath Traveler】

Cyberpunk 2077

[Parallel Time and Space Area 021, Mirror Master]

A pair of eyes stared, then glanced at the pupils, and went about their own business.

……

The door opened, and a man in a black suit with artificial compound eyes walked into a classroom full of children.

Leno turned his back to him.

The man stepped out of the synthetic plastic sole and walked over step by step: "Hello ......"

Lenovo: "I'm sorry, wait a minute. ”

As the summary of information ended, the book in his hand began to burn.

The flames almost merge with the afterglow outside the window.

The man watched the books turn into charred confetti, and asked with some surprise and amusement, "Magic?" ”

"Magic?" Li Nuo laughed: "Well, magic. ”

Confetti is drifting into the air.

Obscuring the panel that only he can see:

[Main quest 1: Gather all travelers together]

[Main quest 2: Find the other two travelers (merchants, hunters)]

[After meeting the above conditions, please go to Night City and complete the final mission of this script: kill the Mirror Master - Ronald Omdis]

"Mr. Priest, put away your magic tricks, please come with me first." The man said.

"Oh." Li Nuo put the weapon box on the table on his back, habitually took out his cane and followed the man out of the door.

He stepped out of the door, and translucent panel text jumped out in front of him:

[Priest Line: You can't leave your current location until you have completed your personal story]

[Until the end of your personal story, the Mirror Master will not find out about your existence]

[Current location: Kuala Lumpur, pseudo-Kowloon City]

[Date: May 5, 2085]
