248. At the beginning of faith, the modifier of fate
Li Nuo paused and looked at the Mirror Master.
"Can I tell them about it?"
"Absolutely." The Mirror Master took out a pocket watch from the lining of his black coat: "Anyway, we have time. β
In Nanami's eyes, the true appearance of the Master of the Mirror is completely different from what he imagined, he should have been a hairless, rough man, like the "glass kid" who coaxed Geralt in "The Witcher".
The Mirror Master suddenly said to Nanami, "Madam, people can change, let alone me in your eyes. β
Li Nuo said: "Yes, the essence of the so-called high-dimensional demon is that there is no substance, Ronald...... Well, let me call you Ronald or Master Mirror. β
"Please."
"Mr. Ronald will change his appearance according to the times."
"That's right, Mr. Witcher."
"But he still retains the gentlemanly appearance of 1850 in Cyberpunk, which shows that ......" Li Nuo squinted and said with a smile, "The rules are not on your side." β
Master Mirror's eyes tightened.
"Li Nuo......"
Cha Bai wanted to silently take out the [Player's Check] that could escape the script in the final stage.
At this time, Marjie turned around calmly and whispered to Chabai: "Listen to him." β
Cha Bai was stunned.
Li Nuo: "Don't worry, Chabai, Mr. Ronald doesn't want to do it now." β
Chabai: "He killed Ling once......"
"So he knows very well that it only takes a moment to kill me." Li Nuo looked at the Mirror Master and said, "I'm surprised that I'm still alive, right?" β
Master Mirror: "You can always surprise me, Mr. Witcher, and to thank you for dragging me out of the puppet, you can tell them your reasoning, and I'll give you that time." β
The translation is, I've been bored for too long, give me some fun.
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "When I came, my mind kept spinning, I was thinking...... A lot of things seemed to lack logic, and then I saw Novigre and Kyle Mohan in the dream, and suddenly I understood! β
Marjie's ears moved, walked to Nanami, made a silent gesture, looked at Su Mei, whose neck was broken, and silently took out two jars of blood medicine, one for himself and the other on Su Mei's body, and took out tools from his coat to give Su Mei a simple treatment for the bones under his neck.
Su Mei's exposed charred trachea opened and closed, but the hellish pain and torture made her unable to say a complete sentence, even if the blood volume returned to health, but the curse from the mirror accompanied the shock of the soul.
Nanami leaned over and whispered to her ear, "Take a deep breath, you'll be fine soon." β
"Grass...... I, I'm good...... Pain...... Ah......h
Su Mei's fingers were pinched white.
Nanami took the remaining half bottle of [chestnut wine] and asked Marjie to help pour it into Sumei's mouth.
A noisy golden dust spilled out from Nanami's fingers, and in an instant, Su Mei fell into peace.
Marger's facial features lit up in the brilliant light, and with an indifferent look, he turned his head to look at the demons and priests who were confronting each other.
On the other side, Li Nuo unhurriedly took out the tea jar, put it in his hand and covered it, and sat cross-legged on the ground, just like his leisure posture in the space.
But Cha Bai's heartbeat became more and more flustered, and she felt that something was about to happen.
The mirror master's pupils looked around, and his chin was faintly visible: "Please speak." β
Leno said: "The root of everything starts from the world of The Witcher, the intersection of the celestial spheres has brought the invasion of the ancient gods, you are the ruler of God and demons, but the higher dimensional things have taken the rules away from you, Mr. Ronald, you must have been very unhappy at that time, right?" The feeling of the lair being suddenly occupied by someone is particularly unpleasant, I understand, I understand it. β
"If it were you, what would you choose?" Master Mirror asked.
"Don't you read my brain?" Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders, unscrewed the lid of the tea bar, and blew on the hot air: "In the face of things that can't be beaten, I will run away, although it is shameful to escape, it is really useful." β
The Mirror Master has been peeking into Li Nuo's mind, but there are some things that he can't understand.
Li Nuo's mind was very messy and messy, and he deliberately let himself ponder a lot of things, and he took a sip of tea.
Only then can the mirror master see what he is thinking: I use it as a container, let him enter the body, and then commit suicide, whether he is dead or not.
"You're thinking a little bit simple."
"Then you should listen to me."
Li Nuo put the teapot on the ground, looked up and said:
"And then, it's a bet between you and me, I got you into cyberpunk, piggyback, you brought this kind of thing like the inner eye, it's not a good thing, it multiplies like a moth, and you're controlled by other rules again."
"Of course, it will take some time for you to be controlled, until then, you are still standing at the top of this world, you have changed Miles, changed the map of the American continent, changed the identity of Mr. Blue-Eye as the mastermind behind the scenes, and many, many more, but you have the ability to predict the future, so you know that one day you will suddenly be imprisoned in a corner of the world, and in order to prevent that day, you have made two preparations."
Li Nuo made a "yes" gesture.
"You let V, the only person in this world who can kill the deteriorating life, survive, and the way is to let her follow the life line of military technology."
"You're constantly researching otherworldly travelers, hoping to find a bargaining chip in them that will break your fate."
"I've also thought about it, in fact, if you want V to survive, there are many ways, why let her take the most difficult path......" Li Nuo touched his chin and said with a smile: "Because it's fun, because it's interesting to watch the protagonist of a world go through hardships." β
Master Mirror narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Please continue." β
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "And then?" What else, you are polluted by the abyss, and like those beastly guys, the soul is imprisoned in a container, which is the result you want, but the problem is, that container from the abyss you can't control. β
The pale "demon" who was still confronting Cha Bai just now lay on the ground softly.
"You're too powerful, so powerful that even if you're imprisoned, you can create your own clone in Night City's dreams, thanks to the fact that the Old Gods didn't really invade this world."
"You've made the final step of preparation."
Li Nuo looked at Cairo-kun.
"Cairo-kun is an uncertain factor, you have to prevent it in advance."
He thought of the three-headed dog and Adam's hammer.
"You made a seal for yourself, this is it, and then gave the key to the three monsters you created. The monsters are guarding Cairo-kun, and these little guys can't get close to you who are imprisoned. β
Leno looked back at the mirror.
"And the only people who can break the seal are strong enough, such as V or the Otherworldly Traveler."
He looked at the white "demon" who had fallen to the ground.
"You have studied too many things that symbolize the ancient gods, and you have been seriously infected, and you will become the playthings of the ancient gods like many people, and your soul is imprisoned in a holster, and now that the holster is dead, and you are out, at least one thing is explained, the death of the host will not affect your life safety."
"So what I was thinking about just now, 'I use it as a container, let him enter the body, and then kill himself, will he die?' is nothing more than ...... To verify my inferences now...... Well...... Yes, I'm actually just starting to reason about the whole story now. β
Li Nuo lowered his head and pointed his index finger on his lower lip.
"Probably...... Is that so...... Therefore, as travelers from the other world, it would have been safe for us not to move you, but because of certain constraints, we had to ...... Move you, that's why I said, we walked into your trap, but had to walk in. β
"But there's one more thing I don't understand, why did you do it to me as soon as you came up?"
Li Nuo paused.
"We're just an experiment for you to verify whether the Otherworldly Traveler can enter the Night City Dream Realm, I'm dangerous to you, so after the first verification is over, I'll need to die, but now that it's like this, you don't mind talking to me?"
The Mirror Master's slightly visible chin bowed: "At Novigre, it would be great if you listened to my advice and became my agent. β
"It's a pity that we're not a category." Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Your stage and life are too broad, but you don't know what you should do at all, just like a greedy clown immersed in the dark, looking for fun for yourself, until having fun has become your essence, and you have forgotten what the root of your birth is." β
He added at the end: "I'm talking nonsense." β
Master Mirror: "But you're right. β
The demon stepped out of the pit that Nokia had smashed out, and the ground touched by the soles of his shoes slowly returned to its original appearance.
"Creatures created by the times will have memories more or less because of the life cycle, but I'm different."
The black fog spreads, colliding and entanglement with the night under the moon.
Countless black souls overflowed behind the Mirror Master, and hundreds of souls quietly twisted in all directions.
"Twenty-three thousand five hundred and forty-six, this is the soul that I have buried with my own hands."
"There are more than 100 million souls who died in the wars I traded with the great powers, these are the stories of thousands of years, I clearly remember the unfolding and ending of every moment, the reason why I am unscrupulous, because we all know that this world will not collapse and disintegrate for any reason, but the inertia brought by the rules of control makes me start to feel that everything is numb, so today is special for me, Mr. Witcher."
"That's right." Li Nuo held his chin with one hand, and pointed weakly at the mirror master with the other, and said in a lazy and playful tone: "Haha, the steps are too big,, and I want to control too much, but I met something that I can control myself, and I was busy making plans for the future, but I didn't count that there were still other things staring at you." β
The Master of Mirrors paused.
Li Nuo then said a long paragraph: "If you really know the purpose of our group of otherworldly travelers, just wait here honestly, why bother to go to me and cause me some trouble by the way?" Especially...... You summon the saliva demon to target Chabai, even if you like to tease others, but you won't play with it. First of all, you want to provoke me so that I must come to Night City to settle accounts with you, and as the culprit of your exile, you used me to do an experiment and slaughtered me, killing two birds with one stone. Second, you can't read the high-dimensional being that makes us do things, or what is related to us otherworldly travelers, you can't predict perfectly. β
The Mirror Master stopped, and he was less than twenty meters away from Li Nuo.
The eyes are facing each other.
No one could read what was going on in their heads.
"Remember what happened in the old town of Corville?" Li Nuo asked.
The Mirror Master bowed calmly: "Well, of course, I can't predict if you can synthesize the 'Ancient Blood'. β
"So you shouldn't have shown up early, that made me completely capture your weakness, Gaunt Odim." Li Nuo said two words: "System." β
Li Nuo stood up.
The soul behind the Master of Mirrors began to explode uncontrollably.
"So, Mr. Witcher, what are you going to do now, knowing the cause and effect?"
"Am I ......?"
Li Nuo paused.
A promise with Annabelle popped up in my head.
"The medicine man traded his life for our lives."
The pupil swept over Sumi, who fell to the ground.
"Swordsmen are guarding us from afar."
Marger's gaze made contact with him.
"Scholars helped me shape my weapons."
He laughed.
"The dancers energized us with pole dancing."
Then he touched Luo Jun's head.
"Merchants have given me new knowledge."
At last.
"Thieves ......"
Li Nuo pressed the edge of the felt hat.
"Priest, you must also fulfill your duties."
He laughed again.
"But it seems that you are immortal, even if I take you into my body and commit suicide, I can't kill you."
The mirror master raised his chin slightly, still smiling with that indifferent look: "So, Mr. Priest, what are you going to do in the face of the immortal me?" β
Li Nuo gave the tea jar to Cairo-kun.
"yes, what can I do, but ah...... Whether it's a priest or a demon hunter, aren't they all on the opposite side of you, this is fate, and none of us can do anything about it. β
"But I also understand that it would be foolish not to leave your fate to the enemy and try to beg for mercy from the other party to survive."
He took a step towards the position of the mirror master, and Cha Bai suddenly hugged his arm.
"Li Nuo, you can't go, stay here!"
Her head was buried in Li Nuo's shoulder, and her eyes hidden under the goggles were tinged with longing, and she said:
"We run away together, and there is still a chance...... Don't you go ......."
"Why?" Li Nuo turned his head, stared at her eyes, and said with a smile: "We can't escape, he said, he has time, and he can find you and me sooner or later by using the celestial sphere convergence." β
Cha Bai: "But that ......"
Master Mirror's voice suddenly interjected: "Mr. Witcher is right, sometimes escaping doesn't solve problems. β
The demon's fingers moved slightly.
The stars change suddenly.
The air made a loud roar, and the compressed air that gathered together smashed into Li Nuo and Cha Bai in an instant.
In the midst of smoke and dust.
The silver-white cane reflects the moonlight.
Pixel Slash tears through attacks that can kill them.
Li Nuo protected in front of Cha Bai, and his almost fragmented body was restored to its original appearance by pixels.
"It is a misfortune for me that the priest has gained faith, but it is also a great blessing."
Cha Bai was stunned.
"Chabai, don't be afraid, don't worry, it's okay."
Li Nuo turned his head and shouted to the Mirror Master:
"I let your emperor's life go off the rails, you put my life at risk, you want to kill me, I want to kill you, for you and me, each other is a fate that must be faced."
The Mirror Master didn't answer, he knew very well that Li Nuo's pixelation ability was only for one minute, and he only needed to wait for one minute.
Very good...... You admit it.
Li Nuo held the two tickets that had been prepared a long time ago in his hand, and said with a smile:
"It's your home turf, it's not fair to me as a weakling."
γPlayer's Checkγ
[The player squad "hums" and prepares to leave the script]
[Script countdown: 15 seconds]
At this moment, Li Nuo in front of the Mirror Master almost disappeared.
But before he could react, a train that he couldn't see blew its horn and crashed into it.
"I made a pact with you, I will be your vessel to carry you across the corners of the world, Gunter Odim, the nights and nightmares are too long, it's time to end."
At this moment, the train broke into the dream.
The Master of Mirrors hears the sound of a whistle coming from the "Endless Corridor".
His body was uncontrollably grabbed by Li Nuo, and the [Evoking Brand] took effect, and the demon was forcibly pulled into Li Nuo's body.
But the demon can't see what's going on in the player's head.
As Leno said, the system is their weakness, and as long as the system is included as part of the game, Gaunt Odim will not be able to see the future direction.
A roaring train broke into the space-time tunnel.
The other ticket that Li Nuo had on his finger was a Final Fantasy ticket.
"Go...... Final Fantasy! β
Gaunt Odim's face flickered uneasily beside Lino's head......
He felt like his body was being torn apart.
γChanged Track, Next Stop, Final Fantasyγ
"I'm the only one to do it!"
"I don't bring special friends, I'm the only one who goes over!"
[It costs 8000 gold coins to unbind the squad......]
[You have spent 8,000 gold, and the squad has been disbanded]
[You need to spend 10,000 gold coins to open the "Free World" quest line, and then you can abandon "Special Friends" to go alone]
You have spent 10,000 gold ......
β¦β¦
When Cha Bai saw the empty carriage, his eyes were empty.
[Squad disbanded (temporary)]
[Special Friend Player 5900 Sent to the "Final Fantasy" Scenario]
[The guild still exists, and you will return to the cyberpunk script with player 5899]
"Miss Chabai......"
"Well, I can hear ......"
She opened the backpack and kept clicking on the special friend backpack sharing function.
Finally, with a blank face, he slammed his hand on the panel, though each time his hand penetrated the translucent panel and smashed into the floor of the carriage.
"Li Nuo once told me so."
Marje didn't stop Chabai, but just blandly expounded the conversation.
"The story of the witcher and the sorceress should not end in the hands of the demons."
Cha Bai knocked on the "panel" hand to stop.
She tore off a corner of her skirt.
With the magic of his fingertips, he wrote a line on the ground and placed the black pieces in the compartment of his backpack.
β¦β¦
The Witcher World.
Towcente.
Ciri got out of the carriage, handed the money to the coachman, and walked alone to the path home.
It's 1851.
After a year of "struggle", I finally saved enough money to buy a cottage in the city.
As he passed Geralt's tombstone, it was raining lightly, and Ciri put on the top hat pinned to his waist.
From time to time, she wondered if the witcher she had exchanged hats with was still alive.
Raindrops fell on the lake into which the Source Warlock had fallen.
The surface of the lake was rippled.
Ciri didn't know why, but there was always a strange feeling.
"Don't leave me alone as a witcher......"
β¦β¦
γScriptedγ
[Main quest triggered: Infiltrate HRE Corporation]
[Mission time: 24 hours]
Li Nuo opened his eyes, he had no intention of listening to the sound of the system.
[Detected that your special script has not been completed, after the script ends, forcibly teleport back to Cyberpunk]
In front of me is a grassland.
On the highway, trucks carrying Resistance troops passed his line of sight.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"I, I seem to see ......"
Emir sat on the roof of the car, looking back at the witcher wearing the same mask as his own.
"It's so familiar...... Where have I seen him? β
But in the next moment, Li Nuo disappeared from their field of vision.
The truck was still on the road, heading far beyond the horizon.
"Emir......"
Li Nuo crouched at the edge of the road, and he lifted the contract of [Evoking Brand].
- After the contract is in effect, the person who made the contract can end the contract within ten minutes, at the cost of holding some souls in the hands of the other party.
"It may seem like a big price, but it's actually at your fingertips."
Li Nuo looked at the black mist standing opposite.
Out of the fog came the old gentleman in a top hat and a black trench coat, and the eyes of the mirror master stared at Li Nuo, looking around, looking at this fantasy world.
Blue magic seeped from Li Nuo's skin.
"The magic here is so pure."
Li Nuo felt the refreshing feeling brought by the return of crystal magic to his hometown.
Master Mirror asked, "Mr. Witcher, so, you brought me here to end your fate?" β
"yes." Li Nuo said in a low voice: "Do you know what players will do when they are alone when they are playing a game?" β
The Mirror Master frowned.
He wasn't in the mood to listen because the intensity of this world was far beyond his dimension.
"FIRST LOWER THE BOSS'S HEAD TO MAKE THEM WEAKER, AND THEN BUFF YOURSELF TO MAKE YOURSELF STRONGER, AND PULL THE BOSS TO THE SAME LEVEL AS YOURSELF."
Lino's voice swirled in the demon's ears.
"You're a demon from Borderland."
"You are God in the 'real-like' world."
"But the Old Gods' contact with you has taught me that you will be much weaker in the face of more powerful things, and you will become much weaker if you cannot control the rules."
"The power of the devil comes from the fear of the world and the evil consequences of what they do, the fantasy world will not fear you, and you, as a tourist, do not have any evil consequences here."
The priest took off his mask, looked at the sky, and muttered softly.
"You and I are all in the union of fate, and when one must die, killing represents the correction of the trajectory of fate."
"Final Fantasy and Neil are the nest of the Fate Modifiers."
"So...... The modifier of fate in my body is established, right? β
He's asking the system.
Black mist suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into the ground like a massive number of dark clouds.
Lino and the mirror are encased in it.
[Fate Modifier: The world of "Nier" is trapped in an infinite loop, and Jacole cannot enter certain world anchors, not because she is limited by the original world, but because the established fate is watched by the "Fate Modifier", as the original people who exist in the world itself, Jacole cannot disobey the guidance of the "Fate Modifier"]
[A certain Jacole gave his fate to someone else, getting rid of the "Fate Modifier", causing a new timeline to change]
[Player 5900, you have taken the "Fate Modifier", it will change your fate one day]
[Player 5900, you have met the conditions to repair your fate]
The mirror master's body was surrounded by black mist, and Li Nuo saw that the other party had become a "concrete" life form due to fate.
Turning the fate that hinders you into something that can be broken is the [Destiny Modifier].
That's the benefit of having a lot of games, and Li Nuo knows exactly what this thing does.
In the perspective of the mirror master, Li Nuo was surrounded by titanium-white hair, he didn't know what it was, he only knew that his current strength was far weaker than before, as if he was imprisoned by something again.
Gaunt Odim looked at him with a bad look.
"What did you do?"
"Aren't you snooping into your mind?" Li Nuo smiled: "Come on, read my brain." β
ββ¦β¦β
"If you can't see it, then let me remind you, why do you think I bothered to explain the cause and effect with you, isn't it just to make your subconscious think that I am a stumbling block to your fate!"
"Mr. Witcher, there's only one place where I miscalculated, you're too bad."
"Being evaluated by the devil means that I am a competent priest."
Li Nuo took out the [Pixel Tinder] and released the vampire dragon in the PokΓ© Ball, feeding it the [Pixel Primordial Stone].
The moment he opened his backpack, he saw the fragments of the skirt left by Cha Bai.
There is tea white handwriting on it: "Straight to the Eye of Death, his weakness is in the left chest and heart, and, I am in the future, waiting for you to come back." β
His gaze was clear.
For the first time, the witcher's amber snake pupils were so clean.
The Master of Mirrors only felt that the more he looked at those eyes, the more disgusting he became, and the more he looked at them, the more disgusted he became, and the aura that only hell existed on his body.
The magic in the air suppresses the demon's anger.
But he couldn't suppress the demon's voice: "You hate me more than Geralt." β
Li Nuo laughed when he heard this.
"Then I'll make you hate and hate again."
He crushed the [Pixel Tinder], held his cane at the approaching darkness and demons, and raised his arms to greet him:
"GΓΌnter Odim. Even if you were immortal, today I will put you to death, and I will tear your skin and pull out your heart! β
The darkness reveals demonic silhouettes, and mirrors surround them.
"Then try it, witcher."
β¦β¦
The king sat in front of the television for a long time.
The door opened.
Angel returned from outside, and she saw the king standing up.
"What's wrong?"
"Angel, what was the bet before?"
"You mean...... A bet on whether or not Lenovo can kill the mirror? Angel said without thinking: "Whoever loses, who repairs the air conditioner for a year." β
She laughed out of her shallow dimples and said, "You bet on the mirror to win, what?" Got a result? β
"Understood." The king turned and walked to the door of the house where he had left: "I will contract the maintenance of the air conditioner for a year." β
"Isn't it over yet?"
"It's already over when the demon is pinched."
The king turned his head sideways, and before disappearing, said slowly:
"Li Nuo won."
