228, Nine Dragons

What do you do when you have a big eyeball against your face?

1. Look at it.

Second, poke.

3. Praise the moon.

Neither.

Li Nuo placed the mask in front of his face.

【Fendt Monster (Mutant)】

[Level: Lv55]

[Danger: B]

[Attribute: Evil]

[Description: This species is related to you, and in 2076, when you first came to Night City, its kind helped you kill Adam's Hammer (Chapter 97)]

Li Nuo suddenly brightened: "It's you......"

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the fire shone behind him.

Li Nuo subconsciously rolled sideways, stood up, surrounded by darkness, and knocked the weapon box on his back with his left knuckle in the gunshot.

The magic particles turn into a potion [cat].

In the sound of gunfire, the potion is poured into the mouth, and a faint figure can be seen in the dark distance.

The soldiers who cleaned up the troops were very efficient, and they did not hesitate in the face of the strange darkness, and raised their guns to shoot at the huge eyeballs on Li Nuo's side.

Bullets clattered from the muzzle, and the flames from the muzzle failed to light up the darkness.

A few seconds later.

The soldiers' movements stopped.

They're dead.

Lenovo turned sideways, the pupil of the eyeball facing him.

Information about the "Fenter Monster" popped into my head.

- A third eye in the middle of their foreheads, which can be used to hypnotize their prey. In a hypnotic state, the prey can only see a burning eye in the impenetrable darkness, which is the last sight the victim sees before he dies.

This eyeball is not some ancient god, nor is it a monster.

It's a hallucination created by the Fenter monster.

The same goes for the black fog that can't be lit around.

The Phenters will prey on sound-emitting prey in illusions of their own making.

You can only see the light by standing next to your eyeballs, so Li Nuo quickly took a step to the side.

At the same time, a katana left a slash mark on the place where he had stopped.

There are three players among the soldiers.

What does it mean that the Phenter, who was hiding under the church, attacked the soldiers indiscriminately, but just didn't attack Leno and the player......

"You raised the Fendt."

The surroundings of the black pressure are quiet and scary.

"Heh......" The player with the soldier's helmet looks up, sheaths his knife, and touches the hilt with his hand.

Charge.

Slash through!

Li Nuo blocked it with his cane, and the metal rubbed out of the sparks, and he quickly lifted his coat in his retreat, and withdrew an alchemy bomb [Demon Dust] from his inner pocket.

The soldier's knife had already arrived, and Li Nuo released the [Seal of Alder], and the frozen wind that popped out of his palm was slashed in two pieces by the blade.

The katana in the opponent's hand lit up with a scorching electronic light.

His eyes moved in the direction of Lan Feng just now, and he turned his bones and looked at Li Nuo.

Behind him, the antlers of the Fenter pressed down in the darkness.

The hunter's instincts warn that a monster is appearing behind him, and he immediately throws a bomb that doesn't ignite the fuse.

Twisting around and using the weapon box as a shield to block the blade of the slash, he waved his hand to release the [Mark of Igni], and the flames forced back the Phentert behind him, and also ignited the [Demon Dust] in the air.

Demonic Dust, also known as the Farmer's Fart, emits a poisonous cloud centered on the tipping point. Any creature within range of the cloud will be poisoned.

It's also the nemesis of the Fenter monster.

The moment the poisonous explosion was ignited, the black mist dissipated.

Cramped underground roadways.

Bloodstains, filth, sludge, stinky puddles.

Damp walls, on which mold crawls.

Li Nuo moved his foot, and the soles of his shoes were stained with urine stains and indescribable sticky matter on the cracked ground.

The sound of the system comes to the ear:

[Divine Official Line: Chapter 1, Own Work (Completed)]

[Reward: A set of priest uniforms]

[Rewards can be redeemed at any time]

[Divine Official Line: Chapter 2, Find the Root Zone of a Large Number of Demonization in Pseudo-Kowloon City]

Li Nuo looked at Nie Chuang, who was sitting in the corner on the side, not yet dead, this guy was holding a gun, his fingers hanging on the trigger and trembling.

Nie Chuang's arm implant showed signs of damage.

Li Nuo walked over, pressed the gun with his fingers, and whispered, "You didn't die because you didn't shoot, so put the gun away now." ”

Nie Chuang couldn't understand for a while: "What do you mean......"

"Fendt hates noises, especially gunshots, salutes, or explosions." Li Nuo's gaze kept on the three players: "Demon Dust, Stamford Dust, Calcium, Andleg Heart, Mushroom, Moon Rose Petals, Green Mold...... Only the enhanced [Demon Dust] can make the Fenter Monster temporarily honest. But that's not all......"

The gloomy light shone stingily through the hole in the church floor above, illuminating the wreckage of corpses all over the floor.

The Fenter Monster, which was gnawing at the soldier, prostrate and turned its head sharply, it looked a little like an elk, covered in muscle, with long, twisted antlers on its head and muscular blood in its mouth.

Its white teeth chewed on steaming flesh, a piece of which was clearly visible.

Three players stand not far from the Fenter.

[Amiri's Mask] detects data.

Intruder "Xu Nian", level 50.

[Strength: 44]

[reaction: 70]

[Spiritual Power: 136]

[Constitution: 98]

[Insight: 109]

[Medical: 153]

It's mediocre, but at least it's better than the other two players around him.

The other two, a man and a woman, were all level 44, and the man had just attacked Li Nuo, named "Sika".

Sika's weapon is a cyber-style katana, a thermal long knife.

The female has a special rune blessing on her body, and she can't see the specific data, she only knows that she is called "Jiya", standing in the distance, and she is not a martial arts player.

The three of them were dressed very tightly, and they couldn't see whether there were large-scale implant modifications on their bodies.

The smell of urine here interrupted Li Nuo's train of thought.

He frowned, placed his cane sideways, and stepped back.

The poisonous mist of [Enhanced Demon Dust] separates Li Nuo and Nie Chuang from the three players and the Fenter Monster, and the two sides are not allowed to enter.

The player who attacked Lino "Sika" has a long knife in his back.

He looked at the location of the Fenter and smacked his tongue: "The Fenter is actually scared of ......"

The other two players were also wearing the tactical uniforms of the clean-up team, and their helmets covered their faces, and the man who was judged to be the [Intruder] said indifferently: "Obviously, Mr. Priest is a witcher, and he is still a somewhat interesting witcher. ”

Helmet goggles flashed a row of data.

The intruder "Xu Nian" was shocked.

It's so strong......

"Go into the stockade and kill him." Xu Nian silently took out a rough texture [Teleportation Stone] from the backpack lattice.

"Are you sure to give fat to people?" Shika turned his head to look.

The female player Jiya suddenly shouted: "Turn back!" ”

Shika jerked his head back.

The emir's eerie smile pierced through the dark green poisonous dust.

The hollow eyes on the mask nailed Schika's eyes.

Xu Nian gritted his teeth and crushed the [Teleportation Stone] in his hand, and the huge amber portal blinked on the ground like an eye.

Within a radius of ten meters, all living creatures are trapped in an irreversible portal.

When his hands and feet felt real again, Li Nuo only felt dizzy in his head.

Then he covered his mouth uncontrollably and retched.

It's not a simple portal.

It's a [teleportation spell], and it's a low-profile version that will make people feel nauseous and sick to their stomachs in the process.

[Divine Official Line: Chapter 2, Find the Root Zone of a Large Number of Demonization in Pseudo-Kowloon City (Completed)]

[Reward: Priest Skill "Guardian Barrier"]

[Rewards can be redeemed at any time]

[Divine Official Line: Chapter 3, Find a Way to Enter the Inside of the Walled City]

When Li Nuo raised his head, the long knife was on the ground one meter in front of his neck, and Xika endured nausea and bowed down to make a stance.

【Unexpected Skipping Quest Line】

[Title Skill "Script Breaker" Trigger: Get a chance to "Doom Waiver"]

On their side, the Fenter's massive size filled a third of the room, staring at the witcher's narrowed eyes.

The room is cramped.

Dense rain hit the windows.

The neon lights outside flickered in the gloom.

Through their uncertain light, you can see the cramped buildings outside, and the closed space without the sky.

In addition to him, the three players, and the Fenter Monster, Nie Chuang was also teleported over as the sole survivor.

Li Nuo saw a few lines of systematically carved pixel text from the window:

【Kowloon no Sato】

[2085, Location – New United States of America, Kuala Lumpur New District, North of Pseudo-Kowloon City]

[Public security is chaotic, underworld forces are rampant, and the most dangerous demon zone is the most dangerous demon zone]

[Player Power: Guild "Arctic Circle" Base]

[Other forces: 1. Remnants of the CIA in North America; 2. Voodoo Gang; 3. Demons Society】

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth trembled slightly.

Informative ......

At this moment, the sound of the iron sheet being scraped made his ears move.

The claws scraped through the iron sheet of the floor, and the Fenter lowered his back and kicked out towards Lino!

The witcher and the monster crashed down, and in the dust, Shika, who was about to go over to watch, was pulled back by Xu Nian.

"Fenter is brutal, you don't want to be eaten by it." Xu Nian pushed open the door of the house: "Xika, keep watch nearby, record the location, and pass it to the others." ”

Sika didn't listen: "I want a head and gold." ”

He jumped off the ruin fault.

Xu Nian took a deep breath: "Ji Ya, come with me, you can't die." ”

They descended quickly from the outside staircase into the narrow alley.

"Amazing?" Jiya asked.

"The medical value is special, it may be [Remnant Blood]." Xu Nian said.

Ji Ya took a step.

"Exactly the same as Chasu......"

Xu Nian urged, and his footsteps stepped on the iron stepboard.

"I don't know what the 'Endless Corridor' thinks of the [Remnant], in our corridor, the characteristic of the [Remnant] is that it must not be fought alone, but must be besieged."

Jiya touched the control wheel on the side of the helmet, and the connected eye prosthetic body flashed.

"Okay, I've passed his message to the Voodoo Gang, those Haitian bastards......"

A gust of wind blew the faded paper bags rolling by.

Jiya has a strong feeling of heart palpitations.

Xu Nian...... Wait......"

Before the words fell, the glass ballast fell from above and stuck to the wet ground one step away from Xu Nian.

Xu Nian stopped.

Smack——!

The five-meter-high upper window is shattered!

Xu Nian was suddenly startled, and a black shadow fell in the air.

Behind him, Jiya pulled the trigger upwards, and with just one shot, the gunfire stopped with the sound of a hammer hitting the ground.

The mask of the emir, who had been cracked by a bullet, was obscured by shadows.

Li Nuo dragged the blood-stained church hammer, stepped on an unknown part of Ji Ya's body with his bow, raised his head, and looked at Xu Nian in front of him.

"Don't run...... I'm in a daze right now, and I need to talk to you. ”

Li Nuo whispered, his gaze sinking.

Xu Nian frowned, his fingertips pointed out magic fluctuations, and asked in a low voice, "How did you escape from the Fenter Monster?" ”

Li Nuo pointed upward: "I didn't run away." ”

Bomb in the air!

Two heavy objects rushed out of the wall on the upper right, and a large number of broken bricks smashed down!

Boom!

The vampire dragon bites the Fentert and crashes into the abandoned house on the other side!

Xu Nian's heart skipped a heavy beat: "Damn...... He's a animal trainer......"

At this time, Jiya's arm moved.

"Xu Nian, run."

Jiya tore off the left half of her body that had been smashed by the hammer of the church, and her coat was crushed.

The woman's legs twisted the joints in reverse and climbed to the wall in a spider shape.

The almost fully mechanical prosthetic body is exposed, and the alloy coating of the arms and torso reflects the neon in the rain, exuding a cold, hard metallic texture.

The prosthetic cylinder in the back of the head clicked into the vacant eye socket of the skull, and half of the face was mixed with metal.

There was a poignancy in the long hair and the blood-oozing pale skin.

Get rid of a mechanical female ghost.

"Xu Nian, run."

She repeated again.

Activating the [Divergent Prosthetic Eye System], I was surprised to find that Li Nuo had not modified his brain......

Most players who enter cyberpunk will find a way to modify their bodies, which has advantages and disadvantages, and for players who are not yet strong enough to do so, the benefits of transforming their bodies outweigh the disadvantages.

"Run!"

This time, Jiya's voice popped out from between her teeth!

Xu Nian instantly generated a portal, and in less than a second, half of his body was already submerged in the door.

Li Nuo waved his staff and struck the [Blood Explosion Bomb] in the air.

The bullet made of blood passed through Xu Nian's arm and pierced his body.

The moment Xu Nian's body was nailed in pain, the last exposed arm in the trance was entangled by sharp thorns.

The body of the staff deformed into the whip blade, wrapping Xu Nian's hand, and the intermittent cross spikes of the whip blade were inserted into his crotch.

Li Nuo pulled the whip blade.

Xu Nian opened his five fingers and released a magic bullet wrapped in sparks.

In the cramped alleyway, the blood explosion and magic bullet produced by the cross spike exploded at the same time.

Li Nuo pulled back the whip blade, tore off Xu Nian's arm, and put his arms together to activate the newly learned priest skill [Guardian Barrier], blocking the air explosion caused by the blood explosion and magic bullet.

The whole person slammed into the back, and the box on his back smashed against the wall and stopped.

The pupil looked forward.

Looking through the smoke of gunpowder, the intruder Xu Nian had already entered the portal, but his hand and one leg remained here.

"Hiss......"

Li Nuo touched his shoulder.

"The Priest skill is a bit interesting......"

【Guardian Barrier】

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: Apply 25% increase in defense to a single unit for 1.2 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds]

[Brief Description: The Watch Belonging to the Priest Alone]

There was a wave of heat behind him.

Li Nuo jumps on the wall in two steps, and his body gets stuck on the narrow walls on both sides.

On the other side, Ji Ya was disturbed by the vampire dragon and the Phenter monster that came out of the wall again, and when she fell to the ground in a lying position, Xu Nian left her hands and legs behind and left the place with her stump body.

But Ji Ya panicked, her eyes shone red, and the [Sianweistan] in her body activated, and at the same time, her waist twisted in reverse and bounced up her body, pulling out the kinetic energy from her waist with the gun.

At the same time, Leno threw out his felt hat.

Bang!

Jiya pulled the trigger, and her side head flashed over her flying felt hat.

Kinetic pistol bullets have a bouncing effect, especially in cramped alleys.

Suddenly, her eyes froze.

Li Nuo disappeared.

The shadows are elongated by the lights of the high-rise buildings.

She saw two shadows shining on the ground, one of her own and the other of ...... Li Nuo.

Jiya muttered in disbelief: "That hat ......"

Li Nuo: "I can teleport." ”

As soon as the words fell, the cane had already penetrated Jiya's body from top to bottom.

The woman vomited red blood.

"Wait...... I can tell you that you want to know ......"

Poof——!

The cane deformed into a saw blade and picked out Kiya's heart from within.

[Players killed: 5565]

[Experience Gained: 1221]

"Killing players gives you XP...... It seems that the rules of the killing script are the same as the train assessment. ”

Li Nuo pulled out his weapon, pressed the brim of his hat, glanced at the woman who was lying in a pool of blood, and muttered, "So beautiful must be very deceiving...... Zhang Wuji said, don't rely on me. ”

At this time, the entire wall behind the side collapsed.

Fenter's body overpowered the wall.

The vampire dragon lay on top of the monster and bit off Fenter's neck in one bite.

Li Nuo went over and took out the Poke Ball, and carefully touched the head of the vampire dragon black press: "Thanks, come back for a while." ”

He took the guy back from the Poké Ball before the vampire dragon bit him.

[Divine Official Line: Chapter 4, Finding Reed in Distress in Nine Dragons (There are branch routes, which can trigger other routes)]

Reed...... Shadows of the past? ”

【Unexpected Skipping Quest Line】

[Title Skill "Script Breaker" Trigger: Get a chance to "Doom Waiver"]

[Current cumulative number of "Doom Waiver" times 2]

"...... in a sense"

Li Nuo looked at the broken arm left by Xu Nian.

"You three are sending me assists......"

He secretly complained and walked over, picked up the broken arm left by Xu Nian, put it in front of the tip of his nose and inhaled the smell.

Crimson smoke drifted out, pointing to the floors higher.

The end of the smoke.

Xu Nian poured out of the portal.

He raised his head and said to the bearded man sitting on the sofa, "Chasu, the awesome guy is here...... Like you, you're a Remnant. ”

Cha Su held up his big belly, absentmindedly eating synthetic meat steak, and glanced at Xu Nian with his pupils: "You are a shame for the invaders." ”

Xu Nian lay on the ground, and said with a pale face: "Check the monitoring, you can just look at it." ”

Chasu: "Nefer." ”

Nefer, a black man with dreadlocks, sat on a black sofa chair full of Internet pipes, and he let out an "oh" and said, "I received a message from Miss 'Giya' a few minutes ago, I'll take a look." ”

Chasu: "By the way, find the location of Sika first." ”

Nefer's forehead popped into the veins, and the signal reception began, and Sika was found on the TV screen.

Sika collapsed in a pool of blood.

Li Nuo stepped out of the frame and looked at the camera, and the two hollow eyes on the mask were aimed at the viewer's eyes.

He raised his gun, pointed it at the camera, and pulled the trigger.

Smoke came from the muzzle of the gun.

Li Nuo put away his pistol, walked over to Sika, and then said in a particularly indebted tone, "Tell me about you...... The two monsters are fighting, what are you doing to make a scene......"

"You sneak attack......" Sika said through gritted teeth, trying to do it, but the mechanical parts of his arms and feet were broken.

Li Nuo is simply too familiar with Cyber's transformers.

Maljie dangled in front of him every day, and he probably knew more about the weaknesses of the implant than this group of players who had modified their bodies.

When Sika jumped off the fault and was about to take Lino's head from Fenter's mouth, Leno released the vampire dragon and attacked Sika in the chaos, sparing the guy's life.

He also took away a vial of blood medicinal [theft] from Xika.

"To be serious, you attacked me in the church and brought me to this place, and you couldn't help but say that you want my life, which is very unreasonable." Li Nuo thought for a moment: "Also, you don't shoot in the dark so that you don't make a loud noise and be attacked by the Phant, are you breeding these monsters?" Who gave you the resources? ”

Li Nuo paused.

"Do you say it yourself, or do I find a way to get you to say it?"

Sika gritted her teeth.

Li Nuo turned his head sideways and smiled at Nie Chuang, who was sitting above the fault and was injured.

Li Nuo asked, "Lord Knight, do you have a way to get him to tell the truth?" ”

Nie Chuang sighed: "Don't be so disgusting...... I just want to know...... What the are you? ”

Li Nuo didn't answer, and threw the [Seal of Axi] at Shika.

He thought about it, and didn't use the dice mode that was too risky.

Directly use the simplest hypnotic means to release the seal.

For a moment, Shika's eyes were stunned, and Li Nuo immediately asked, "Answer my question just now." ”

In just one second, Shika's vacant gaze reappeared. He subconsciously yelled, "What the did you do to me! ”

Li Nuo ignored it.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he took out the tea jar from his back and poured it down.

"Nie Chuang, if something happens to me in a while, protect me, please."

Are you sure you still need someone to protect you? Nie Chuang originally wanted to say this, but Li Nuo's serious tone made him suppress the complaint.

He nodded effortlessly, "Well, okay." ”

Linuo: "You've finally admitted to being a knight." ”

Nie Chuang popped out from between his teeth: "You shut up......"

Leno continued to use the [Seal of Axi] on Xika.

The condensed magic popped out a dice in the palm of his hand.

This scene made Nie Chuang stupid.

Priest ......

Is it really powerful?

"......"

However, the next scene completely subverted the cognition of Nie Chuang, a former military technology soldier.

Li Nuo: "Why are you obsessed with killing me?" Why bring me in? What's it like to raise monsters? Where's Reed? Answer me from heavy to light. ”

Shika spat at him, "Fuck you." ”

Li Nuo didn't care, the panel popped up: [11 o'clock]

"You're not as tenacious as you appear."

Leno smiled.

Shika was horrified.

"The Priest's Trial Begins~"

Leno rolls the dice.

Point 13.

It almost didn't scare him to death.

[Judgment takes effect]

Schika suddenly looked hollow and said mechanically:

"We don't know about Reed......"

"Kill you because of a mission, not a system mission, but a middleman from Night City."

"He calls himself 'Ronald Omdis.'"

He said that on May 5, 2085, a priest would come to Kowloon...... Kill the priest, he made us conditions that we can't refuse, and my companions and I disguised ourselves as a clean-up team and searched for your tracks......"

As Schika spoke, Lino noticed that there was a shiny mark on his tongue.

"Monster...... It was an accident......"

Reed...... We don't know where Reid is......"

The more Schika spoke, the less his face became like himself.

His appearance has undergone subtle changes, wrinkles have appeared at the corners of his eyes, his skin has become whiter and whiter, he has begun to grow older, and his facial features have become three-dimensional.

"Kill you...... All of us in our guild can receive special rewards...... Resurrection Magic ......"

Shika's expression froze suddenly.

And then......

"Long time no see, Mr. Witcher."

Shika's face changed to the one that Li Nuo couldn't forget.

But in just a moment, Schika's face changed back to herself.

The creature couldn't make a sound, the mark in his mouth burned with a hot glow, and scorched smoke came out of his mouth.

Leno pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger on Sika's head.

[5580 Players Killed]

[XP Gained: 1300]

Looking at the blood hole on Sika's forehead, Li Nuo said in his heart: "The demon is hindering you, but it seems that that guy can't appear here, and the system restrictions are still ...... other."

Nie Chuang said at this time: "It's convenient to say, what happened?" ”

Li Nuo stood up, looked at Nie Chuang, and said, "There is an intermediary in Night City who has entrusted me with the destruction of an organization called 'Player' here. ”

Nie Chuang was stunned.

Li Nuo: "I want to try if I can get out of the Nine Dragons first, exorcise demons on the way, and do something that a priest should do." Willing to act together? ”

Nie Chuang took a deep breath: "My work is not finished yet, and I have no other choice but to follow you." ”

Li Nuo: "You can try to betray me." ”

Then I can at least kill you right here, that's what Li Nuo meant.

Nie Chuang was a little tendoned, he didn't know the voice-over, and his chin raised slightly with disdain in his eyes: "Betrayal...... You and I are the dogs raised by the company. ”
