227. The work of the priest
[Kuala Lumpur Pseudo-Kowloon City: The prototype is the restoration of Kuala Lumpur City before the war, located in the territory of the New American States, 123 kilometers away from Night City]
[Most of the living people are of the yellow race, and now belong to the jurisdiction of "military science and technology", within the territory of the New United States of America]
[Demonization rate: 22% (5 percentage points higher than the world average)]
[Note: The area where the six travelers are located is the area with the largest number of monsters thrown by the mirror master]
……
【Shinkan Line】
[Chapter 1]
【Doing your job】
……
"Doing your job ......"
"Is the priest's job?"
Li Nuo puzzled to open the friends panel.
[Unable to confirm the location of teammates]
【You need to pass the Divine Official Line】
[Can't empathize with special friends]
【You need to pass the Divine Official Line】
"The system restricts that you must complete the personal line before you can ......"
Li Nuo opened his personal panel and there was an extra row of messages.
[In order to facilitate the operation, the electronic brain for receiving has been forcibly installed, and it will be automatically offset after the script is over]
[Please receive some signals to activate the electronic brain completely]
He used to install an electronic brain, in the world of "Cyberpunk", and then he was afraid of being hacked, so he unloaded it.
"Where's your cross?"
While Li Nuo pondered, the man asked him.
Crucifix......
Leno remembered that he did have a cross in his hand when he first entered the script, and the panel of that thing was just an ordinary ornament, and it was useless except to give the sphincter.
Yes, literally, this thing was used.
The witcher's sense of smell is powerful.
So he didn't want to pick it up.
"The cross is in my heart."
"How can a priest prove faith without a cross......
"The gods are in my heart."
"The company's regulations must be ......"
"The company is also in my heart."
The man was speechless: "Whatever you want." He turned his head and said, "Come along, Mr. Priest." ”
"Wait a minute." Li Nuo stopped him and said, "Can you give me my information?" ”
The man stopped, and the pupil of the compound eye above his right eye spread a circle of light: "Information? This kind of thing should know better than anyone else. ”
Li Nuo touched his chest and said, "The cross, the gods, and the company have filled me, and there is no room for me. ”
The man didn't want to talk to him anymore, and the pupils of the compound eyes turned.
Li Nuo's brain sounded the sound of electric currents rushing by.
【Electronic Brain Activation】
[It is possible to connect to the network, considering that the virus code is circulating in the network, it is not recommended to use the electronic brain to open the network]
[Receiving personal information——]
He could see a message flash in front of his eyes.
"Damn ......"
A large list of information is pouring out like a waterfall in front of you, with very little important content.
[I was cut off my waist in the Black Clinic in Night City, and my home was blown up when I changed my waist, and I became a complete waste after that]
Li Nuo slandered: "It's a bit miserable......"
[You want to be a sex couple, but you go to the wrong place and become a priest]
[Later you were sent to Texas, where you became the champion of Texas Hold'em]
[You have money and women overnight]
[You were only 16 years old at the time]
"I ......" Li Nuo pursed his lips, his expression colorful.
The man frowned, and said in his heart: Sick him.
"Hey...... Priest ......"
"Wait a minute, I'm looking at it."
The man was shocked, looking at his resume?
The streamer in front of Li Nuo's eyes was still flickering.
[But your ambitions don't stop there]
[You have to go back to Night City and find your waist]
[Your new waist is also lost in Night City]
[You have become a complete waste]
Li Nuo: "I'm sick. ”
Man: "I think it's possible." ”
[Dragging your stump home, you swear never to go to the damn Night City again, but the moment you enter the house, you see your woman and the family mechanical dog doing aerobic exercise......]
At this time, the reception signal of the electronic brain is inserted into a broadcast.
[Early morning sex These benefits you need to know, sexual activity is an aerobic exercise that can speed up the heart rate and burn calories, the new human base in Kenya, Africa, said that since the popularization of early morning sex, the working hours of workers per day have increased from 12 hours to 20 hours, so ......]
Li Nuo turned off the radio. Keep watching.
[Your woman tells you that he is a man and has robbed you of all your money]
[Your waist is gone, your money is gone, your woman is gone...... Oh no, your man is gone, and even the mechanical dog has been made into hot pot soup by you]
[You are desperate]
【You need salvation】
[I remember my previous job]
[You are a pastor]
[On that day, you returned to the chapel where you had received yourself]
[Later, the church was demolished, and you relied on Texas Hold'em and military technology to get a job from the demolition executives]
[Priest, also called Internet missionary]
[Later, the company found out that because you didn't have a large number of implants such as kidneys, you were a waste, so you were sent to a poor city with no care]
[The Kowloon area is a weapon production area for military science and technology, in order to make the people here feel at ease to produce weapons, you, the priest, have a great role, they told you so, you actually believed it]
[Recently, the demonization of human beings (mutant cyberpsychosis) around the world has become more and more serious, Kowloon seems to be a high incidence place, you buy an insurance, and the beneficiary is a former girlfriend (boyfriend)]
[Today is your first day at work, and you have decided to stay calm and let this cursed city feel the glory of Jerusalem]
Li Nuo chiseled his fist into the wall: "My life is sick!" ”
"You're fucking sick!" The man changed his calmness and roared in the same way: "Look at your past is so fascinating!" Who doesn't have a look back on the past! ”
Li Nuo was shocked: "The world of cyberpunk still has a potential stock like you?" ”
The man scoffed and gritted his teeth: "You don't look like a priest......"
"Well, I'm actually a painter." Li Nuo nodded, and suddenly thought: "Yes, the story will be serialized next month......
"Let's go." The man urged.
"By the way, Mr. Gao's name?" Li Nuo asked.
The man asked again with a strange expression, "Mr. Priest...... Didn't you read the information when you came? ”
Li Nuo: "I said, my heart has been crossed, the gods and ......"
"Nie Chuang." The other party obviously didn't want to listen anymore: "Let's go, I'll talk to you on the way." ”
Li Nuo followed, the electronic brain has been activated, and now he can access the Internet at any time.
"I won't talk nonsense to you, I'm a soldier of the military science and technology strike team."
Strike Team ...... Li Nuo "clicked" on the game library in his brain, and in 2030, the military science and technology unit that assisted Johnny Silverhand in the nuclear explosion of the Desertaka Tower is a strike team.
Nie Chuang was still talking: "Now I am an ordinary guard in the military and police force, and I am responsible for your safety in the pseudo-Kowloon City. That's all. That's all. ”
"Priests and knights?" Li Nuo accosted.
Nie Chuang said: "Don't be so disgusting, it's just work, the pseudo-Kowloon City is too dangerous, the priests are all rookies, come and die one by one, so you have to protect yourself, you can be regarded as catching up with the welfare, there was no such treatment before." ”
Lenovo: "Tell me about the danger. ”
Nie Chuang walked to the elevator room, pressed the button, the elevator door opened, and led him into the dim elevator covered with the smell of engine oil.
"A decade ago, an unlucky architect modeled the Kowloon Walled City in the city."
Nie Chuang laughed:
"Dense buildings, dirty, crowded, dark, nourishing drug trafficking, gangs, murder, robbery, and then the gray industry, casinos, sex dolls, organ smuggling, law and order, the city of criminal garbage."
Li Nuo: "At first glance, I thought it was Night City. ”
Nie Chuang bowed: "Night City...... Well...... Night City was much more chaotic than it was until at least 2078. But now Night City, the best place to fuck the new United States of America. ”
The Mirror Master changed Night City...... Li Nuo had an extremely bad premonition, it was not as simple as it seemed, as the lair of the mirror, Night City must be hiding hidden things.
"It's a three-sided area, with mixed gangs, thieves and murderers like cockroaches hiding in the attic." Nie Chuang clicked the button to go to the lower floor, and then leaned against the wall, the elevator slowly descended, and he said in a slow voice: "The guys who can be solved by guns and bullets are not dangerous, and the real danger will appear at any time...... Monster. ”
Nie Chuang took out a cigarette and handed it out, Li Nuo shook his head: "Don't smoke." ”
"Heh, people who don't smoke in this place are too young." Nie Chuang lit a cigarette and looked at the number of floors that kept falling: "Since damn demonization has become the norm of life, there have been a total of 22 priests here, 12 people have been eaten by demons, 7 people have been given to God by bullets from street fights, and 2 people have become demons. ”
"And another?"
"I was dying of electricity leakage while playing with the electric airplane cup."
Ding——
"Let's go, there's work ahead." Nie Chuang walked out of the elevator and saw that Li Nuo's face was not very good, Nie Chuang comforted: "Don't worry, I cleared a group of demons a while ago." You'll live for at least a month or two. ”
Li Nuo shook his head: "No...... It's nothing to do with this......"
The two of them walked in the narrow aisle, insects crawling on the moldy walls around them, a thunderbolt flashed outside the window, and the clouds covered the sunset, and before they could go out, a drizzle fell from above.
"It's raining again...... Nie Chuang cursed, took out a bottle of air spray, and took a sip in his mouth.
Li Nuo followed, and Nie Chuang walked out of the rotten building full of strange smells.
A light rain hit his face, and the smell of rotting flesh poured into his nostrils.
It's cold outside.
Dark clouds are surging in the sky, and a heavy rain is brewing.
Raindrops pass through the explosive projection and fall on the streets of the lower floor of the city, the mist quickly fills and the wind whipped up the garbage and floats it into the air.
Li Nuo reached out and grabbed a fast-moving advertising sticker.
"Night City Travel Bulletin, Sunshine Coast has opened ......"
"Hmm......" What Nie Chuang noticed was Li Nuo's reaction speed just now: "It's different from the rumors, I heard that you are missing a kidney and have no implants, and you are still agile." ”
Li Nuo was absent-minded.
He needs to complete a personal mission before he can leave the city.
According to the system prompt, the restrictions this time are very large, and it is impossible to contact Cha Bai and Marjie, so they need to act separately and meet and discuss later.
He remembered Xing Kai.
I don't know if that Xing Kai is the Xing Kai that Annabelle is looking for.
Li Nuo pressed the brim of the felt hat, and the rain hit the exterior that was inconsistent with the highly saturated colors of the cyber world, and Nie Chuang walked into the narrow alleys of Kowloon City.
Cramped alleys.
The light curtain projected by the patrol aircraft above hit the damp wall tiles.
In the light curtain, the news man's announcement suppressed the noise of the alley.
[Here is International News Channel 54: Large-scale strikes broke out in the Netherlands, some people called for the emergence of demons caused by poison gas dropped by large enterprises, it is reported that Amsterdam was closed 48 hours ago, and after 40 hours of clean-up work, all strikers have returned to work]
- Beep.
[President Myers' chauffeur recently attended the unveiling of the new supercathedral in Salt Lake City, which is 243 meters tall and can accommodate 20,000 faithful inside. That's about three Mormon families.]
[However, at the ribbon-cutting scene, the sudden mutant cyber psychosis of the presidential driver ruined the church]
[It is reported that the driver's son will pay off his debts for two hundred and twenty years of military science and technology work because of the behavior of his dead ghost father]
- Beep.
[Just yesterday, 170 people were tragically killed in the shooting in Kuala Lumpur. Politicians say it was a "massacre." Locals, on the other hand, call it "Ordinary Tuesday"]
- Beep.
Bang!
Someone shot at the light curtain.
"Fuck you news, I'm sleeping!"
"It's the norm of life." Nie Chuang said.
Li Nuo bowed his head, when he didn't hear it, his eyes kept projecting on what he saw around him.
The ubiquitous holographic advertisements are crowded like neon signs of mahjong on the table.
In the corner of the dark street, the lamp tube of the "Cloud Barber Club" diffused a purple light with a high color temperature, and the light covered the amber eyes of the witcher, and Li Nuo subconsciously glanced there.
Two scantily clad women with visible skin scars on implants whispered at the door.
"There's another priest."
"Grass, what a priest, is the company's mouth dealer."
"Shh......h You don't want to die! ”
Nie Chuang walked in front, looked sideways, and said to Li Nuo: "This place in Kowloon is very complicated, and you will understand it after staying for a long time. But those have nothing to do with you. ”
Li Nuo let out a "hmm", and his eyes moved away from the purple light reflected by the lamp.
One of the two women didn't seem to be human.
The hunter's genes don't lie to him.
I really want to make her into a decoction......
When he had this thought, his brain suddenly exploded, and an extremely strong sense of alertness appeared.
Li Nuo turned his head sharply.
The woman who was not human was left standing alone in the hazy rain mist, half of the woman's face flashed with a distorted phantory shadow, half of her face turned white with dead man's makeup, the corners of her mouth were pompous and grinning to the root of her ears, and her eyes were cold and cunning.
She seemed to say, "There is another priest who can eat it." ”
Li Nuo's gaze gradually became cold: "It's not a priest. ”
The witcher's eyes were as greedy as if they had seen their prey.
The woman seemed to feel fear, and the half of her frightened face disappeared in an instant, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.
"Don't be stunned."
Under Nie Chuang's urging, Li Nuo marked the woman's position, took a sharp breath, remembered the woman's scent, and left.
"Tell me about the demons." Li Nuo said.
"You don't know?" Nie Chuang was puzzled.
"My heart has been ......"
"I said." Nie Chuang didn't intend to let Li Nuo continue, so he whispered: "Code contagion, sudden alienation and demonization, sarcomas grow on the body, or a lot of disgusting organs, and then attack humans like cyber psychosis, but some guys can disguise themselves, and there is a monster creature......"
"Is it strong?" Li Nuo interrupted.
"Strong." Nie Chuang said with palpitations: "At the very least, a ten-person armed team must be dispatched to clean up, and some of them can overturn the tank." ”
"The Old Gods have influenced humans and the monsters that The Witcher teleported to this world...... Probably so......" Li Nuo secretly cursed to himself, and someone around him whistled at him.
He looked over, and the people who had reformed their bodies were gathered at the corner of the street.
"They're gang members, you hang the company's mark, you'll be fine, and if you really get beaten, give them the money."
Nie Chuang comforts Li Nuo, who looks like a COS steampunk male puppet.
Li Nuo stared at the bodies of the gang members and speculated on their combat effectiveness. It's a group of very ordinary prosthetic reformers.
The basis of human body transformation is the prosthesis, usually titanium metal bones, as well as active biological tissues, strength, durability, flexibility and effective enhancement, listening to Marger's muttering every day, Li Nuo has long remembered in his mind.
Everyone looks at Li Nuo like a stupid dick, probably because he is the only one who is not loaded with a large number of implants.
[Work instructions are being transmitted——]
Nie Chuang: "Okay, let's see for yourself." ”
Li Nuo buttoned his temples, and in front of his eyes was a large list of jobs that made his brows tremble:
[6:00 AM, go to church to make a notice]
[6:40 AM, public confession in the Kowloon courtyard]
[6:50 AM, Accept the Citizen's Confession]
[8:00 AM, start the teachings of the street teleportation company]
[9:30 AM, class for children (additional income available)]
【AM10:30~12:00, Wedding Ceremony】
【AM……】
Li Nuo swept down to the end.
[11:30 pm, dinner]
“……”
[AM0:30, Lecture to the homeless in the name of theology]
[AM1:35, supervising church construction]
【AM……】
Li Nuo asked with a dead fish-eyed eye: "Am I working 24 hours a day?" ”
"Just look at that job list." Nie Chuang paused, lowered his head, and refilled a cigarette in the rain: "This shitty place is so poor that it clangs, and a group of people who are dying of hunger need a bullshit faith." ”
"Then what do you want a priest for?"
"There are too many demons, you have to make a show, there are at least four priests in a church studio in other places, and you are the only one in Kowloon." Nie Chuang took out his mobile phone, and the pseudo-Kowloon City trails were interspersed with complicated ones, and if he was not careful, he would get lost: "Hmm...... That's pretty much it. ”
In front of them was a shabby ...... It can be called a church building.
Li Nuo raised his hand and pointed to the building: "I said...... My next job won't be ......"
"Well, officiate at the wedding." Nie Chuang said with a smile: "I will protect you throughout the whole process of the most oily and watery work, and remember to give me a third of the tip after the end." ”
Li Nuo glanced at his personal line task in disbelief.
【Doing your job】
Is it really just a 24-hour shift...... Li Nuo sneered, and followed Nie Chuang into the so-called church.
Inside the church.
Worn chairs are placed randomly.
A cold wind peeked through the hole in the window.
Leaking roofs.
The stagnant water sank on the wooden floor, which seemed to shatter with a single foot, and overcame the naturally growing weeds.
The most interesting thing is that the walls on both sides of the church are hung with neon signs in the shape of crosses.
The dilapidated and withered environment was brought up by the flickering purple-red light.
A dozen or so guests, who were guests, were sitting on the benches, and they were staring at Li Nuo, whose head was covered in water.
"Priest. If you don't come again, the bride will drown. ”
Someone teased.
Then, it didn't take long for people to be dissatisfied.
"The priest is carrying a coffin to preside over the wedding, you are crazy!"
"Shut up, stupid dick." Nie Chuang's words made the place quiet.
"I'm sorry, it's a box, not a coffin, it's useful to me, I can't take it off." Li Nuo looked at the couple standing at the end of the church, the two of them were not wearing formal dresses, and they were dressed in white clothes.
"It's rudimentary." Li Nuo said.
"This pair should have a little affection before going through a sense of ceremony, and most people don't have spare money for weddings." Nie Chuang pushed Li Nuo and handed him a chip: "Hurry up, I haven't eaten yet." ”
Li Nuo easily inserted the chip into the groove in the back of his head that the system had created for him.
The information of the two newcomers appeared in their heads.
The groom, Jim, is a white-skinned, middle-aged man, and the bride, Helena, is a.
They were all former military tech employees.
Jim is a prisoner who has been released from prison and has been deprived of the qualifications for high-level employment, so he has to live in the pseudo-Kowloon City, and is currently a miscellaneous servant of military technology.
He met his fiancée Helena at a nightclub and got married.
Helena is a full-time employee of military technology, and there is a huge difference in social status between her and Jim, but married life forces her to live with her husband in the pseudo-Kowloon City.
Li Nuo drank tea while holding a tea jar while summarizing the relationship between the two.
Black and white.
Love is stronger than gold.
Sooner or later, divorce, or die.
Husband Jim saw that Li Nuo kept drinking tea and didn't mean to speak at all, so he couldn't help but urge: "Mr. Priest, do you want to consider officiating for our wedding now?" ”
Helena pinched Jim, and said coquettishly and angrily, "There's no harm in spending a little more time in church." ”
A dozen or so people in the audience whistled and coaxed.
In peace and joy, Li Nuo is looking for articles related to weddings from his memory bank.
After all, to play the role of a good priest, he needs to be serious.
He was in a quandary.
Never married...... Inexperienced.
Li Nuo glanced at the audience, and everyone stared at him and drank tea.
Nie Chuang frowned: "Where the is this amateur priest......"
Li Nuo's heart suddenly trembled.
He looked at the ground.
A strange premonition, or rather a premonition of danger, appeared......
A bearded man yelled, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and host!" I'm still waiting to drink! ”
Before he could finish speaking, a pool of blood splashed on the bearded man's face.
He glanced sideways.
The head of the person next to him was chewing in the mouth of another guest.
The guest tore off a piece of his brain, cracked his forehead, squeezed out a dozen wriggling eyeballs, and crawled out of his mouth with dense, pale hands.
The hand propped his head open, and the eyeballs were twisted together.
In the blink of an eye, a large, eyeball-filled brain hung over the guest's shoulder.
"Ah...... Ah——!h Grass! Devil! ”
"Damn, he's mutated!"
The beard was hugged by it, and the sharp teeth that grew from under the head bit the bearded skull.
The rest of the people ran to the door in a panic.
Nie Chuang took out the alarm and pressed it, and the signal was transmitted to the cleanup department, there was only one thing he needed to do now.
Pull out the gun.
Aim at the demons.
Let the priest who is like a weak chicken with a coffin board on his back, and who doesn't even have a combat implant, live as much as possible.
Nie Chuang pulled the trigger.
Bullets poured into the demon's huge head, like a "pop" in the mud, but it didn't do anything.
Nie Chuang's eyes locked behind the demon, and Li Nuo at the end of the church shouted, "Fool, jump out of the window and run!" ”
Rumble......
There was a muffled sound.
Nie Chuang didn't know what was going on, and his head was hit.
The whole person slammed into the wall, and sat in pain and unconscious in the puddle of water on the wooden floor.
In an instant, blood rushed through the body, suppressing the fainting brain implants and causing blood vessels to bulge out of the skin.
"There's a great ...... coming"
The shadow flashed in front of him, and Nie Chuang saw that it was the demon's hands that turned into flesh and blood whips.
The demon rotated for a week, and the ten meters deep in the church were all destroyed by it indiscriminately.
In Nie Chuang's sight, the splashing sawdust and the leaking rain were mixed together, and the two newcomers in the distance hugged each other.
The man protected his fiancée.
In front of them, the golden fragments of the Seal of Quinn were like petals that rang for the prelude to the wedding.
The cane is pestled on the floor.
The priest stepped over the two of them with something like a coffin board on his back.
"I remember the wedding prayer."
"Cha Bai taught me...... It seems to be ...... May the Lord of Triss bless you both with peace and joy, and bless you...... Forget it, officiating a wedding isn't for me. ”
Li Nuo stepped on the stagnant water on the ground, splashed the neon of the cross, and walked towards the demon unhurriedly.
On the head of the alienated demon, one eye turned to Li Nuo.
【Shinkan Line】
[Chapter 1]
【Doing your job】
Fingers outlined the staff, and the fire enchanted wrapped around the silver staff.
The red of the fire, the purple of neon, illuminated his smile strangely.
"I've figured it out, the priest's job, isn't that a witcher."
……
[Abandoned church found mutant cyberpsychosis]
[Idlers and others are not allowed to approach the area, otherwise it will be regarded as a terrorist attack]
A large number of cruise planes appeared in the sky, shooting searchlights through the hazy rain and fog, lighting up the dimly lit churches.
Dense footsteps stripped across the neighborhood of pseudo-Kowloon City.
The clean-up force that received the signal from Nie Chuang broke into the vicinity of the church with guns, they were the armed arm of military technology, which specialized in cleaning up the madman group that demonized cyber psychosis.
The Military Technology Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers of weapons and military vehicles.
The soldiers were fitted with combat implants and carried high-powered rifles, a squad of fifteen. Crashed back and forth into the interior of the church.
All the muzzles were pointed at the priest sitting on the bench after the blood was thick all over the ground.
Li Nuo cut the monster's corpse with a nerve knife, stuffed the severed eyeballs into his pocket, lifted his blood-covered face, and his amber pupils stared at the muzzles of a dozen guns.
The captain of the leader said vigilantly: "A new type of ...... The body hasn't changed dramatically since the mutation, has it? ”
The captain's eyes fell on Nie Chuang, who was sitting in the corner.
"No...... It's not ......" Nie Chuang was shocked, and his words couldn't be organized: "He's a new priest......"
"The priest has mutated!?"
"No......" Li Nuo pointed to the floor like a bloody man: "Say something, you'd better leave first, I have a certain intuition that I can feel that there is a powerful ...... underneath"
Bang!
The gun went off, the soldier's bullet passed through the bench, Li Nuo had a premonition, flashed his head, and sawdust splashed on his body.
Eyes were fixed on the soldier who had fired.
[Don't forget that this is a killing script]
[The six travelers will face the resistance of players from all walks of life]
[Player 5900]
【Guild Players Found】
【Guild Players Found】
Two tones in a row.
Then when he stared at a soldier, there was another sound.
[Other cloister intruders have been discovered]
[Hint: Player 5900: The player's level is above you, killing the player will get a large reward, as well as the probability of inheriting a certain ability from him]
Li Nuo: "What are you doing...... Gang rape. ”
Boom......
Cracks suddenly appeared in the ground.
Li Nuo looked at the eyes hidden behind the tactical helmet, and said with the corners of his mouth trembling: "I said...... There's probably a terrible thing down there, or ...... now."
Before the soldiers and players with guns could react, the ground suddenly collapsed!
Everyone fell beneath the surface.
In less than three seconds, it was pitch black.
When Leno raised his head, a huge eyeball was pressed against his face......
(End of chapter)
