I'm not a cyberpsycho

Li Pan still used his old trick and put a blood mark on REIKA, but this time, he was not in a hurry to use the soul method to seize her.

After all, the two Yamadas looked exactly the same at first glance. He had already drank a cup of Reika sauce. As long as he slowly digested his memory, he could find out what the Collectors Association was pretending to do and what tricks it was doing. There’s no point in having one cup after another.

Not to mention that each use of the 'juicer' costs a silver key.

So Li Pan pretended to have reached an agreement with REIKA, sent the Holy Grail to K's underground garage, and then drove the Blood God Son out of the body, using the bleeding shadow magic method, and based on the location of the blood jar, he searched for REIKA's location in a moment , chased after him.

By the way, to mention one more thing, Li Pan now discovered that the Yuan Shen method of the Blood Lu God Sect is really getting better and better the more it is used.

There are basically no junk moves in "Book of Heaven". All of them are practical and have explanations for each move. Even with combo moves, you can create additional damage and unique routines!

Take for example the talisman on his palm now. This talisman is called the "Blood Punishment Seal". It is the most basic spiritual seal of the divine religion. It was originally used to mark enemies.

After all, people in the divine religion have a fine tradition of being hunted since ancient times. For a long time in history, they have been in a vulnerable position with enemies all over the world and running for their lives. They often stayed in caves to practice and were killed by Xuanmen, forcing them to reincarnate. , Yuan Shen collapsed, this happened so many times that he couldn’t even remember who his enemy was.

Therefore, the "Book of Heaven" specifically records the deathrattle skills for this situation, similar to "Brothers, help me take revenge!" to mark the opponent's soul.

When those enemies who have recently killed members of the divine religion and were marked by blood marks appear within the spiritual consciousness of people from other divine religions, they will automatically resonate with the primordial spirit law. Therefore, the surrounding disciples of the divine sect can be alerted in advance, respond in time, pick up the guy to avenge their comrades...or pack up the losers and run away as soon as possible...

Of course, there is also the basic marking function. Since the Blood Seal directly marks the opponent's soul, during the battle, the opponent cannot hide the location of his soul through other illusions and invisibility blinding methods. This is equivalent to breaking the invisibility and will suffer real damage. .

In addition, the Blood Punishment Seal is one of the basic starting talismans of most divine religions' blood jars. You can directly add a few strokes to the Blood Punishment Seal formula to upgrade it to other more powerful Yuan Shen magic jars, so as to fight the Yuan Shen. When casting magic, it is a tactic that is directly based on the Blood God Seal, and there are many evolutionary routines and combos within the cult, which is equivalent to greatly saving spell casting time.

In addition, a considerable number of soul spells are of the type that become more powerful the longer the spell is cast. For example, if you hastily recite a curse in front of your opponent, your opponent may only feel dizzy and have a bleeding nose. However, if you set up an altar and recite the curse for seven, seven and forty-nine days, you can show off that your enemy is completely destroyed physically and mentally by pinning the villain.

Opponents marked by the Blood Seal in this way are equivalent to being cursed by the gods. The calculation will start from the date of being marked, which is equivalent to greatly increasing the power of the soul method. Anyway, that's it for being awesome.

Of course, what Li Pan used was not the complete Blood Punishment Seal. After all, he did not sacrifice his own Deathrattle. It was just a simplified spit version. It was also greatly weakened in the 0791 world. It could be marked for up to twelve hours. The Blood Punishment Seal It will automatically fail.

Fortunately, Li Pan's spiritual consciousness has now expanded, and he quickly sensed the locations of the four blood slaying seals under the Night City. Then, according to his movement speed, he followed Yamada REIKA's sports car, all the way out of the heart of the Night City. , left the city and headed west, and unexpectedly came to the Fuji Farm area outside the city.

Fuji District is basically inhabited by genetically modified maggots developed by Virgin Land Company, and there are high-purity artificial protein farms everywhere.

When he saw this place, Li Pan was a little surprised. He remembered reading in the company information that the Terra Group did have a secret base here, a factory of some kind of chemicals and nutrient solutions, specifically for the production of maggot protein farms. Nutrient solution and maggot feed.

Although he had given his word and banned other companies from operating, considering that this is not a military factory, and if this factory is destroyed, the maggots in Fuji Farm will starve to death. The maggots are so innocent and have a great impact on the market. Li Pan did not attack this stronghold either.

This Yamada REIKA really brought him to the secret base. Maybe, she really came to communicate with the Terra Group about 'surrender and lose half'.

All the way into Fuji District is the company's territory. Not only the factories, but also the nearby farmland are joint ventures between Terra and Virgin Land Company. The entire area is blocked by anti-aircraft artillery and drones, and the security intensity is also full.

Yes, although Terra claims to be vegetarian and environmentally friendly and opposes eating meat, in fact they themselves covet maggot technology. After all, no matter how environmentally friendly they are now, the core competitiveness of Terra Group is the expansion of the universe and the colonization of alien planets. , there is no high-quality artificial protein body with a higher cost performance than LARVA larvae.

They even went to war before, joining OFEC's camp, fighting two corporate wars with Virgin Land Company, snatching technology, and malicious mergers and acquisitions. However, later, due to the loss of control of the 036 Earth bee colony and the reconstruction of the 016 Cool Baboon Earth, the human, material and financial resources of the Terra Group were delayed, so the maggot matter was dropped.

And Virgin Land Company also relied on this window period and technological dividends to become a second-tier Zhutian Company.

However, unlike Gao Tianyuan, Virgin Land Company is very sensible. It knows that it is currently unable to challenge the first-line grain monopoly, and the benefits are greater by joining the Zhutian Trade Agreement, so it took the initiative to reach a settlement with OFEC, not with food, but with seasonings. In the name of industrial raw materials, LARVA larvae are added to the trade.

The Virgin Land Company promised not to deliver maggot meat to the common people's tables, impacting the stock price of agricultural companies. It cooperated with many companies including Terra regardless of past suspicions. Many maggot farms are simply joint venture farms, from raw materials to cultivation to marketing. There are local chaebol agents who have channels, and they only earn a royalties on their own, which is considered very sensible. Only then did OFEC let them go under the persuasion of other members.

Li Pan followed REIKA all the way into the factory and entered the secret underground facility through a secret passage.

The internal defense of the organization is also very tight. It is completely a military-grade fortress, with automatic azimuth cannons and unmanned robots everywhere.

REIKA obviously has extremely high authority, and it is unobstructed all the way. Apparently, the home base in the Pacific District was raided last time, and Terra's factory was dedicated as a collector's base.

Tsk, tsk, Ye Shi, Sage, Terra, maybe Cool Baboon and Virgin Land, there are so many heavyweight members of the ACA Collectors Association, TheM is in big trouble...

During the sightseeing tour led by REIKA and the full tour guide explanation by Lingxiang Jiang, Li Pan discovered another interesting thing as he went deeper and deeper into the base.

Terra is actually summoning a demon.

The underground floor of the base is a special warehouse of some kind. Judging from the magic circle painted in the warehouse, the objects summoned by the sacrifices should be the ram-horned demons from the Demon Cave. The sacrifices used to sacrifice and summon demons are naturally humans.

Judging by their clothes, these must be wanderers brought in batches from the wild lands outside the city. They probably thought they were here to work on the farm or participate in some medical experiment, but when they arrived, they were thrown into the warehouse in groups of dozens.

Then the company activated the magic circle and summoned a dark cloud from the void. Dozens of people screamed and got into their mouths and noses by the dark cloud, and most of them spontaneously combusted. Out of every forty or fifty people, only one or two could survive and become demon-possessed bodies. The remaining corpses were directly thrown into chemical waste for dissolution.

And summoning demons from other worlds to come and possess you is only the first step.

Even if the demons in the Demon Cave are weak, they are only compared to the immortals and demon gods. The body of the local people can barely accommodate the consciousness of the devil. Under the restrictions of the rules of Earth 0791, the devil's power cannot be exerted at all. The body is also very fragile. It will not take long after being possessed that the body will collapse.

So more than just summoning, Terra is also producing bodies powerful enough to hold demons in the lower levels of the base.

Yes, just like TheM, in order to bypass customs inspection, they specially set up a production line in the park to produce their own illegal artificial fishmen. Tyra played the same trick.

However, their methods are rougher than those of the company, which is production in a literal sense.

Let the devil-human being possessed by the devil have intercourse and give birth to a devil's son.

Then the embryos are taken out in advance and placed in an artificial womb made by bionic maggots, where the genes are coordinated to produce a container suitable for the coming of the devil.

Well, they say they pursue environmentally friendly office principles and employ natural people for employment, but in fact Terra’s ‘natural people’ are produced in this unnatural way.

And obviously two generations of demon blood are not enough.

Terra put summoned demons, possessed demons, cloned demons, genetically coordinated demons, and local wanderers, clones, artificial humans, bionic humans, and human-demonic hybrids together, using drugs and surgery. Gene fusion actively mutates.

Breathing soot and flames from the mouth, they have sex in the gene pool of magic radiation, biochemical solution, blood and filth, in the twisting spiral and violent carnival, reincarnated again and again, generation after generation.

In the end, the barrier between the two worlds and the boundary between the two populations was crossed, and the most powerful container was finally born.

What is born in this world is truly genuine,

Devilman.

Prohibited human experimentation, summoning subspace demons, and touching the abyss are all prohibited technologies explicitly prohibited by the SEC.

Even in the garbage dump of 0791, such a project has to be hidden, but now that there is a civil war, the Security Bureau cannot control it at all, so why not increase efforts in research and production, and bring in carloads of people to produce demons?

Tsk tsk, what a guy, Terra Demon Man, is it okay to fight against the monster fishman? Maybe in two days, people from the Takamagahara space will come to Earth to join the war.

What's going on? Could it be that his combat power has expanded too quickly, and the rules of the world have been forced to be upgraded and updated...

However, after walking around and looking at the dissected experimental subjects in bottles and jars, Li Pan discovered that the Devilman experiments here were actually not even close to a single character.

It's the kind of project that boasts loudly on the PPT, but after investing hundreds of millions of dollars, you can't even hear a sound.

Although Terra's experimenters, possibly through the Collector, obtained a magic circle that could stably summon demons to descend.

But whether it comes or not depends mainly on the devil's will and has nothing to do with the researchers.

The magic net and magic elves in 0791 are weak. Unless they are big demons like Belia, ordinary monsters actually don't have much ability here. These demons who descend basically have nothing to do, come to attend a carnival party and spread the seeds. Order a devil's seed or something.

But this was enough. Terra's researchers took these demon seeds and used them to collect money from demons. It's just that they are still in the experimental stage and have not found the perfect genetic blueprint for devils. Most of the children they produce are deformed children with short lifespans, low IQs, physical defects, and crooked melons and cracked dates.

Although there are very few experimental subjects that are difficult to reproduce, they can possess magical power similar to superpowers, and there are even a few who can withstand the possession of a big demon and use elf magic.

But in the final analysis, the current experimental version of Devilman is still a mortal body that can be exploded with a shotgun and dragon breath bomb. It would be too much to take it to the market to compete with supermen like BBA.

Yamada REIKA obviously knew this, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the experimental results all the way in, and went directly to the innermost laboratory. Find the person directly responsible.

"Dr. Kiryu, you are so anxious to call me back. What advice can you give me?"

Li Pan also came over to take a look. This Dr. Kiryu was a middle-aged man in a white coat and glasses. He seemed to be an ordinary local scholar.

As a result, the first thing Kiryu said was,

"Miss Koga, Yamada Reika's identity can no longer be used. She is dead."

kindness? ?

Yamada REIKA, "Nani!"

Kiryu didn't explain much, his prosthetic eyes were twinkling, and he seemed to be communicating through the internal communication channel while speaking orally,

"It's news from the demon world. Yamada Reika's soul did not return to the hotel according to the contract, and there was no way to resurrect her there.

In all likelihood, he was killed by the man named Li from Monsters Inc. Our communications channels may have been tapped, and the operation may have been exposed. "

Li Pan, who was standing aside to monitor, said that I was greatly surprised.

Yamada REIKA was also shocked,

"She was killed! You didn't tell me earlier! Wait! Then you let me touch that guy with this face!? What if he even chops me when he has a convulsion!"

Kiryu said coldly,

"It's too early to tell, can you hold him steady? Now that you can come back alive, it means that he was fooled for a while, and the plan is half successful.

The plan has been started in advance, now you change your face, go deal with Ito and his son, and get the things. "

Yamada REIKA's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly jumped up and kicked out. The sole of the high-heeled shoe was connected to the arch of the foot, and a long sword was thrust out, piercing Kiryu's throat like a bee needle.

"What the hell! How dare you plot against me! Do you really think I can't kill you with those evil ghosts protecting you!"

Kiryu faced REIKA's raised thigh and the sharp sword at his feet, his face expressionless.

"Miss Koga, if you delay a little longer, Ito will send the things to the Security Bureau, and all our preparations over the years will be in vain.

By the way, if you get the things and run away, I don't need to say more. The monster is targeting us, and we can't stay in the night anymore. "

"snort!"

Yamada REIKA gritted her teeth and retracted her legs, then tore off her skirt, and suddenly began to transform her body like magic, and then transformed into a masked kunoichi wearing a V-shaped tights.

Is this... a ninja technique? It looks like flesh and blood deformation, coupled with illusions and optical refraction, plus the nanomaterial clothing generation function of the AVNDS system... This should not be a bionic prosthesis, but some kind of biotechnology. It may be the devil in this laboratory. Technology.

But the Blood Punishment Seal is still engraved on her body, so it doesn't matter how she changes.

"Kiryu, this is not over yet!"

After the transformation, the kunoichi's voice became hoarse, but she only said a harsh word that sounded like a loser, and hurriedly sped off.

Li Pan was not in a hurry to chase him. He looked at Dr. Kiryu with interest and was about to reach out and pat him on the shoulder.

Kiryu suddenly tapped the keyboard, and a secret door opened in the laboratory, and then an intelligent man was activated and walked out.

"Heya? It's really you! But aren't you dead?"

Dr. Kiryu unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the scar on his chest that had been split in half and stitched together.

"Long time no see, Amakusa, as you can see, I'm back from the underworld."

Amakusa! ? Hell! ?

Li Pan quickly stopped his hand, as if he was waiting for a moment to listen to his fake expression, and wanted to see how far this plot was going to go.

"It's really you..."

The intelligent man was silent for a while, then his tone became determined,

"It's really you. Only you can mobilize the Red Tengu beyond me. You are really resurrected..."

Dr. Kiryu nodded,

"I went down to the underworld, to the Nine Hells, and asked Shura, and now I'm back."

Amakusa,

"Huang Quan...it's actually real...what do you want."

Kazuma Kiryu,

"First, I'm informing you that the Legion is coming."

Amakusa, "Nani! Legion! They really found the Legion! Coming from which direction!"

Kiryu Kazuya shook his head,

"I don't know the details. The message was given to me by an old friend I met in Huang Quan."

Amakusa was impatient, "Which old friend."

Kiryu, "Okita."

Amakusa was shocked, "What! Yamato! Yamato hasn't sunk yet! Great! I knew they could escape!"

Kiryu added, "By the way, I want to ask you a favor."

Amakusa Shiro, "Say."

Kazuma Kiryu,

"I planned an operation today, but I have urgent matters to deal with, and I can't stay in the Night Capital for a long time. The authority of the chain of command will be transferred to you. Help me direct the closing and handle the follow-up."

Amakusa Shiro nodded, "It's a piece of cake."

"grateful."

Kiryu and Masaru waved their hands to disconnect the communication, then gritted their teeth and dropped their heads.

died.

Death...what, what's going on? ? ?

Li Pan was stunned. He cut off half of Kiryu and Ya's head with a wave of his hand. He opened his mouth and saw that the capsule in the tooth socket had been bitten. Potassium cyanide...

Hey! Make a fuss? This guy was fine, so why did he suddenly commit suicide? Is there any need to go in such a hurry? ?

Why, is it amazing that you can be resurrected? Mu De went to hell as if he were going home for the holidays...

It was also the first time for Li Pan to meet such an inexplicable guy, and he was a little speechless. For now, let’s just remember the name ‘Kazuma Kiryu’. Let’s check another day.

Don't worry about the collector's base for the time being. There's nothing worth paying attention to anyway. We'll deal with it after we get the company's mission.

Then Li Pan quickly passed the marked kunoichi REIKA and flew straight to the Night Capital.

Because Kiryu died so neatly after explaining what happened, Li Pan also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, from a distance, Li Pan felt that the Blood Punishment Seal mark had shifted.

What other reason could there be for the transfer of the Blood Punishment Seal? The original owner was killed.

When he flew to the city center and looked at the rising mushroom cloud in the city center, Li Pan was not surprised at all.

Yes, these Red Tengu terrorists were able to break through the security system and launch an attack last night. To put it bluntly, the security of Night City has been penetrated, why not just drop a nuclear bomb?

Compared with so many Muramasa mecha weapons and bombs, is it not expensive to buy a tactical nuclear bomb? Isn’t it very cost-effective?

Well, it turns out that people think the same way. Who says not to throw it away? You just have to choose the time.

Choose it in broad daylight, when company dogs are at work in the center of the city, when they are most lethal.

We must choose a time when the Security Bureau and the Three-Headed Dog Force have just expelled the Red Tengu and everyone is at their lowest alert.

It must be chosen a few hours after the attack, when Police Chief Ronald Reagan stood on the ruins of the NCPA Metropolitan Police Department and delivered a eloquent and tearful speech in front of NCHK cameras to mourn the police officers who died in the terrorist attack. , and when he declared righteously that justice would be upheld and the murderer would be arrested.

To convey a clear and unambiguous message from the Red Tengu to everyone on Earth 0791.

BONG!

It exploded.

Judging from the size of the mushroom cloud, it is not a particularly powerful thing. It may be a tactical nuclear bomb for a fortress, or a neutron bomb for infantry.

The detonation point occurred at the Metropolitan Police Headquarters building. It should have been secretly hidden under the rubble together with the fragments of the mecha that exploded in the previous attack.

I don’t know whether the security bureau lacked manpower or whether there was internal cooperation. In short, no one found the nuclear bomb.

When Li Pandou arrived at the scene, he glanced at it with his consciousness. Wow, it was terrible. In just one moment, at least ten thousand people died at the scene.

After all, all the important personnel of the city's military and police security system, as well as the senior backbones of the NCPA, all dressed up in formal attire and went to the scene to attend the ceremony and observe a moment of silence for their colleagues.

As a result, the live broadcast site turned into a mass grave. Eight streets around the Metropolitan Police Department were blown up, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere. Not to mention how many company dogs working nearby were exposed to direct radiation from weapons-grade nuclear bombs. About 100,000 people would die from cancer within three years...

Tsk tsk, look, look, they are all Red Tengu. Although Amakusa is always attacking, compared with this Kiryu, she is really a kind woman...

The detonation point was right behind Richard Regan, so the police chief disappeared from this world cleanly.

But Li Pan found Angela.

Was she in the patrol team wearing a police uniform? She blocked the streets on the outside, so she didn't end up like the family members at the center of the explosion.

But it just left a whole corpse. This was a nuclear bomb, okay? And she was just a mortal. Her whole body was roasted, as if she had been taken out of a microwave oven. If the blood marks on her body were not still there, Li Even Pan couldn't recognize her appearance.

Can't be saved.

If you are a cultivator, if you are a person with super powers, if you are a devil, if you are a temporary worker...

In short, if it's not a 'mere person', then maybe it can be saved.

Or if she had resigned earlier, or if she hadn't been a Reagan, maybe...

No, if her surname was not Regan, she might have died long ago.

Finally, the blood shadow stood next to Angela for a while, squatted down, and helped her close her eyes.

In this world, it is really difficult to save someone...
