I'm not a cyberpsycho

Can people die and live again, live and die again?

Li Pan looked at the fort in front of him, Blood Infant, Little Spider Style.18, and fell silent for a moment.

Humans, ghosts, souls, Xiyi...

And...

Then he raised his head and looked through the apartment window at the dark sky.

There was no light in the sky, and there were overcast clouds. The thick clouds reflected the colorful light pollution light sources on the ground. Various advertising films were projected on the curtains, and no moonlight could be seen.

The magic light danced wildly, and the world looked particularly gloomy. The air pressure was so low that it made people breathless. For a moment, Li Pan felt as if the whole world had really been nailed to the coffin board.

Are we all trapped in this nightmare, dead and alive...

Li Pan took a deep breath and shook his head.

He has seen a lot of things about gods and ghosts in novels and games, but there are too many things that he can't figure out. He is still being hunted now, and this is not the time to chase his younger brother and ask questions. In the future Study it further.

And Li Pan knew that with this terrible weather, acid rain was about to start.

It's good to rain.

Heavy rain can wash away the filth in the city.

But the rain in the Night City itself is the highest level of filth.

For the sake of development, profit, and war, the heavy industrialization of Earth 0791 has long broken through the boundaries. The world has been completely polluted. The air, rivers, and earth are filled with various heavy metal particles, radiation dust, radioactive dust, and microbial pathogens leaked from the laboratory. This rainwater is even so dirty that a heavy acid rain can greatly interfere with electronic equipment and pipelines, and affect the monitoring of security systems. You can believe it!

Not to mention NCPA, even the vast majority of police and civilian drones on the market cannot operate normally in such an extreme interference environment. Even for military use, a corrosion-resistant shell is required.

Not to mention the bad weather like violent storms, but no sane person would want to walk on the street. If he choked, got infected, burned, or got skin cancer, would you pay for the treatment?

So the problem for mankind these days is not whether we can control the weather, transform nature, and manage the environment.

But who will pay for it?

Theoretically, every company and each community must pay garbage disposal fees and environmental management fees, but the majority must be the Earth Property Management Company designated by the committee.

But Gao Tianyuan has gone bankrupt, surrendered, and is in ruins. He will definitely not pay the bill. Ye's is still in the planning and construction stage. It has not yet reached the environmental impact assessment stage, and has not even gone to the renewal office to handover.

Therefore, in these years, Earth 0791 has been in a state without property management companies. Private lands are owned by private companies, and environmental pollution has become increasingly serious.

But this would be much more convenient for Li Pan.

Heavy acid rain is not only equivalent to pouring sulfuric acid showerheads and pouring nuclear waste liquid from the sky, normal people cannot survive at all, but the magnetic field environment in heavy rain is complex, not only electronic equipment, long-range sniping, scanning and locking effects will be reduced, and optical invisibility will also be interfered with.

So in the Night City, you can often see people wearing ponchos and rubber boots armed to the teeth. A group of people are like mice, huddled together and hiding under the subway eaves and viaducts to take shelter from the rain.

Although there are some idiot cosmonauts who, relying on their molecular masks, walk naked in the middle of the highway in the heavy rain, sing, dance, play in the water and make short videos, it is as if there is an air mask around them and they cannot get wet at all. , but the molecular-level isolation protective cover also requires charging, power consumption, and maintenance.

In the past, Li Pan was bored and squatting on the roadside to hide from the rain. He saw with his own eyes an alien from space who got high and went crazy in the heavy rain. He lay down in the rain to sleep. As a result, the molecular cover ran out of power within an hour, and then he fell into the rain. He suffered from vomiting and dysentery due to a short circuit and was rushed to the rescue by the emergency medical team.

In other words, the AVNDS system is also a type of molecular mask protective film. In this harsh weather environment, it will automatically open to block the damage of chemical pollution. Your own defense will be greatly weakened, and your position may be directly exposed, making it easier to deal with than before.

At this moment, Xiaozhidushi.Eighteen has hacked into the local network port.

"Boss, there is no one else in this building. It should have been cleared and set up as a temporary sniper point and supply station. Automatic turrets and mine warnings are set up on the outside. The subnet has basic ICE. We can rest here for a while. "

"Okay, Shiba, have you contacted the company? What's going on now?"

So Li Pan was not in a hurry to move for the time being, and conveniently cut off the head of the human fort, chopped it into seven or eight pieces like a watermelon, chopped them into pieces, and put a piece on the dinner plate for the owner of the house as an offering.

Then he rummaged around the house, found a few raincoats and put them on. He also took out a bunch of junk food from the refrigerator and stuffed it into his mouth. He tried to replenish his energy. He planned to rush out with the Holy Grail when the rain got heavier. .

Little Spider Style. Eighteen, "I am not connected to the cloud. I am using a local network cable to access the Internet. The public broadcast channel has been cut off. The company's ICE is also being attacked by hackers. I estimate that the other Eighteen have been hacked by electronic ghosts." Just stare.

This device is just a data storage module, not a dedicated electronic warfare ghost shell. Establishing a secret data link may be eavesdropped and hacked, and there is a risk of exposing the location. Want to risk the link? "

Li Pan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, make backup copies of the chips of the few cosmic beings you just killed. Don't take this risk. What's going on with the Holy Grail War outside now?"

Little Spider Style. 18, "The live broadcast has been temporarily interrupted. We should get rid of the pursuers... Wow, boss! The reward for the Holy Grail on the dark web has soared to 150 billion! The whole city is looking for you. Ah boss!"

"Oh, 150 billion? Where can I get this money? Can I surrender or not..."

Before Li Pan could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body. The pain and bruises on his body were completely healed and his strength was full. His trouser pocket sank and he reached out and took out a silver key.

Has it been reset? It should be that someone from the company couldn't be contacted for a while, and they helped to return the file in time according to the plan. As for this key, it is probably because the previous task of capturing Dr. Osumi was settled.

Then Li Pan looked at the blood baby crawling up and down on his body.

"What are you doing again?"

Little Spider Style. Eighteen, "This terminal has limited performance. Wait for me to replace it with a powerful prosthetic body to support you, boss."

Li Pan, "Oh, I'm not asking you."

Little Spider Pose. Look at a room full of dead people.

"...Boss, you really need to take care of your health and stop taking so many medicines."

Li Pan, "..."

The Blood Baby was also done with its work. It drew two layers of talismans on the inner layer of Li Pan's poncho and the outer side of the SBS tights.

There are some strange blood seals on talismans. The ones on the poncho outside look like handprints and animal claws, while the ones on the tights inside look like crooked eyes.

Of course, if you want to talk about it at the age of eighteen, it is all the hallucinations of a mentally ill person.

The blood baby clapped his hands,

"As long as you know what realm they are in, you will have a way to deal with them.

I have arranged sixty-four samsara soul-chasing hands on the outside of this cloak. If someone hides in the dark and hurts people with hidden arrows, the soul-chasing hands will respond and beat him to death.

On this level inside, I made a soul-absorbing ghost-fighting ritual. If you have these extraterrestrial demons who use your spiritual sense and ghost eyes to spy on your true identity, brother, you will fall into my trap.

Entering my formation, you will lose your soul and never be reincarnated.

With this magic weapon to protect my body, even if I am not with you, I can keep my brother safe. "

Li Pan, "Wow... His soul is flying away, and he will never be reincarnated... Brother, it's not that I can't trust you, but I heard that it takes at least decades of hard work to make a high-quality magic weapon. You just made it casually." , are you so awesome? Are you bragging?"

blood baby airway,

"Wow! Brother! It's just a little trick to ward off evil spirits. Why is there any need to use that kind of magic weapon? And to deal with things like them that are worse than monsters, I don't have to do it myself.

Even if you hold a statue of the god in your arms, it can deter evil spirits and ghosts from coming near you! It’s just that we can’t find good soil in this place for a while! "

Li Pan understood, "Oh, there's no need for you to take action. Why, you want to abandon your elder brother and go back to practice on your own, right? Well, we promised to protect the law for me through life and death."

The blood baby is dejected,

"No, brother, you are not in danger of being killed, you can handle it yourself.

Moreover, I came in a hurry, and there is still sheep stewed in the pot over there. If I don’t go back, I will be cooked to death..."

Li Pan immediately straightened his expression,

"Fuck! You didn't tell me about such a big thing earlier! Go back quickly!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'll come as soon as I go!"

The blood baby turned into a red light and escaped.

Li Pan felt sad for a moment. It would be great if he could fly and phantom like this. He would also save money on buying and maintaining a car...

"Ding dong."

Doorbell rang.

Li Pan directly pulled out the Sword of Catherine and took a stance.

Little spider pose. Shiba crawled over and opened the door.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll use the express delivery under the owner's account. Boss, please help me sign for it."

"When the hell are you still buying express delivery??"

Li Pan came to the door and took a look. It was really an all-terrain delivery robot.

Some old-fashioned residential areas have pre-laid express elevators and freight tracks, and packages are transported all the way from the factory to your doorstep as if on a conveyor belt. This kind of thing that relies on mechanical transmission is reliable, but hackers can also send grenades, anthrax viruses, etc., so there are still certain security risks, and they are gradually being eliminated.

This Holy Grail War is fought, and someone has a bounty of 150 billion and can still order takeout. I really don’t know if I’m crazy...

"So what is this."

Li Pan unpacked it casually.

Little Spider Pose. Eighteen explanations,

"Beep beep beep ROBOT."

Li Pan stopped halfway.

"watt!?"

Little Spider Pose. Eighteen,

"Don't worry, it's a disguise. It's a weapon bought from the black market with black gold!"

Li Pan opened it and took a look.

"Damn! What a disguise! Isn't this what it is!"

But Little Spider Shiba. Eighteen had already climbed up, put the Spider Shift into the head, activated the device, unlocked the functions, transferred the data, and then stood upright.

Well, actually it's okay, and it's not particularly abnormal. After all, without the leather sheath, it's just an ordinary ROBOT, an ordinary humanoid robot skeleton.

In fact, most of the services in various street alleys and hotels and nightclubs are cheap basic service robots. After all, ordinary people’s psychological and physiological conditions cannot withstand working overtime around the clock, but robots can do it without sleep. Immortal workers can long ago replace humans. Otherwise, you would think that in a place with such high consumption in Night City, the salary of ordinary people is so low.

However, in order to solve various reasons such as unemployment rate, environmental protection, technology patent restrictions, hacking technology, and ethics committee AI ban, robot technology is strictly controlled, and in 0791 it can only engage in some heavy manual labor and service industries. , slightly technical and intelligent types of work can only be completed by humans installing intelligent auxiliary chips.

But in general, robot drones are very useful and convenient modular products these days.

As long as you have a home 3D printer, you can DIY a variety of modules that can be replaced, you can also customize medical silicone leather cases in small workshops, you can also load cracked pirated software operating systems, reset various action instructions and behavioral logic, You can write any scripts or role-playing by yourself, or load service program scripts from open source websites.

And then the same packages arrived one after another, with various black market gadgets delivered in the name of toys.

I have to say that the garbage in 0791 is garbage, but various cheap industrial products and electronic components are indeed cheap, and you can easily get a large number of level four military components.

Li Pan had nothing to do, so he simply helped Shiba assemble it on site, and directly assembled a humanoid machine module into a horse.

Well, horse, this shell looks like it is a toy mechanical horse bought from some amusement park or children's playground. The shell of the pony also has a pair of small white wings, which feels plush.

However, Shiba also made some designs and modifications of his own, such as sawing the horse's back open and installing the upper body of the robot on the horse's back, making it look like a centaur and a human-animal chimera.

The horse also has a beep on its head.

Looking at the strange things in front of him, Li Pan doubted his hand skills for the first time.

"...I spelled it correctly, right? And that thing is a beep, right? Are you sure it's mounted on your forehead?"

Pony Shiba jumped up and down happily, making the floor creak.

"Oh yeah! Now I have my own pony! Come on, boss! Let's rush out!"

"rush out?"

Before Li Pan could refuse, Pony Shiba raised her hooves and kicked open the window sill.

A large number of searchlights shone from the building opposite, dazzling Li Pan's eyes.

"He's on the other side!"

"Found the target!"

"The Holy Grail is in his hand!"

"Fire!"

boom! !

Then the building opposite exploded. The broken masonry, metal and glass fragments were like snow flakes and hail, mixed with the strong wind. The roaring explosion and fire, the scream and roar of steel filled the ear canal, and an apartment building was blown up. The sky fell, and billows of smoke and flames lit up the neighborhood.

Li Pan, "Fuck! What's going on!?"

Pony.18, "It's okay, boss! The opposite side is a trap set by the aliens. The pursuers were deceived by the virtual address. Let's go directly!"

This alarmed half of the city. Li Pan didn't even care about waiting for his brother to join him, and quickly jumped on the pony. Eighteen.

And Pony Eighteen let out a metallic neigh, rushed out from the balcony, rushed straight up the building, and ran like crazy!

The blazing wind and the cold rain blew on Li Pan's face.

The pursuers followed closely, and the dense swarms of drones were like migratory birds and like bats, coming from all directions! Like rolling up a large black cloud!

All kinds of bullets, artillery shells and rockets jingled like thousands of lines of fire, and the beep on the pony's head suddenly flashed! Then it emits a dazzling electromagnetic shock wave!

Under the continuous flash of EMP electronic pulses, various smart missile-guided drones landed behind Xiao Ma and Li Pan like headless flies, exploding into a series of fireballs!

Li Pan, "Oh shit? EMP? ECM? Can't you change your look!"

Xiaoma.18, "I found it on the dark web! Why are you so picky! If the engineer hadn't been drunk and made him look like this! Where can I buy six-level customized equipment for 10 million!"

Li Pan, "Ten million for this damn thing of trenching!? Wait, Shiba, where did you get the money? You didn't ask me for approval? Did you buy this body with your own money?"

Xiaoma.18, "Yes, boss! I'm thinking about it! You're right! There is no way out by stock trading! It's better to buy something you like and have fun!"

Li Pan, “You like Beep very much??”

Xiaoma.18, "Who likes that! I said it was picked up by mistake! When you are free, boss, please help polish off the texture of this beep, or use 3D printing to change the appearance, as long as it does not affect the use. That’s it!”

Uh, that's true...

Xiaoma.18, "That's not all! Boss, look at this!"

Then Xiao Ma's eyes lit up, and a strange light curtain unfolded, covering his whole body. Li Pan looked at his hands, which were vaguely transparent in the drizzle.

"It actually has an optical invisibility function? This kind of magnetism is level 5, right? No, Shiba, you can actually activate level 6 Ding Ding at will? Then your energy system and battery module are not ordinary things, right?

This body is all controlled-level stuff. Generally, prosthetic shops have to customize it and make an appointment in advance. Where did you get it from just now? ? Didn't you get deceived? "

Xiaoma Shiba hesitated for a moment.

"Boss, these are actually the equipment that those 007s arranged to smuggle in secretly. I arranged the secret warehouse. Who knew they would die so quickly, so I secretly kept some of them. It doesn't matter, boss?"

"I see. It doesn't matter. It's human nature to enrich one's own pockets. You're going to die anyway."

Xiaoma Shiba was moved, "Boss, you are so kind!"

Li Pan thought for a while, shook his head and took a look, then suddenly turned over and jumped off the pony.

This pony can float on the surface of the metal wall and can run and run appropriately, but in the end it is still a child's toy.

Although Shiba wanted to help, Li Pan knew that carrying it would be a pure burden in the upcoming battle, so he made up a random reason.

"Shiba, do me a favor. While the rain is still not heavy, help me pick up Nana. Then go to Panlong Factory and ask Chengzi to take someone to evacuate the tracks."

Xiao Ma.18, "Huh? Boss, why don't you come with us?"

Li Pan shook his head, "I can't disappear, they are already targeting me. You go first! Contact me later!"

"Boss, be careful!"

Pony Eighteen flew away.

Li Pan also wiped off the cold sweat. Well, actually, he didn't want to be caught sitting on that kind of mount...

Putting on a gas mask and pulling up the hood of his raincoat, Li Pan jumped up and down several times, skipping dozens of high-rise buildings and landing on an empty viaduct.

Acid rain was pouring down, and the big raindrops fell on the ground with a strong smell. Water flowed down from the drainage channels on both sides, and the road was filled with black and yellow mud and dust.

Li Pan looked at the rain curtain in front of him like a waterfall, and looked at the city looming in the rain curtain. He raised the Holy Grail high in his hand and saluted the sky.

Then he let go, and the gilt cup fell to the ground with a clang, landing at Li Pan's feet, with water drops flying in the cup.

"Which of you goes first?"

"boom!"

Thunder and lightning

In front of Li Pan, four company dogs suddenly appeared in formal attire. They were wearing sunglasses and holding umbrellas. They stood in a row and blocked the four lanes.

And around them, an invisible wall of air seemed to emit, forcing away the rain lines all over the sky.

No, it cut through the rain curtains all over the sky.

Not even a drop of this pouring rain could fall on their umbrellas.

Li Pan narrowed his eyes, raised his sword and pointed it,

"Or come together."

Then the next moment, Li Pan suddenly saw a bloody handprint on his raincoat light up, turning into red light and shooting into the heavy rain.

And the moment Li Pan moved his pupils.

A flash of cold light

sword

Coming from the opposite side
