The Death Knell

Night City is always very noisy at night, especially on the rooftop of the residential building near Dr. Victor’s clinic. V and Jack like to come here to drink and chat, imagining their wonderful life after becoming successful, but today they sit down Deathstroke is the only one sitting on the plastic chair here.

Yes, the tourism project outside the Black Wall gave him some inspiration. Now he is admiring the ruins of Arasaka Tower in the distance and thinking silently.

There are indeed a lot of feelings, and the next step is to think. He has seen a lot of things outside the wall, but his thoughts are disorganized. At least he is still not sure that he can grasp CAAT.

"tons tons tons"

After drinking a can of beer, he turned the empty can into a molecular state and dropped it on the rooftop, then lay on a chair and looked up at the sky.

The pollution in Night City is also very serious. You can't see the moon and stars in the city, let alone it's a rainy day.

But there are benefits to rainy days. The cold feeling brought by the rain flowing down the armor always makes him feel clear-headed.

It has been almost half an hour since we left LBW Plaza, and the adjutant took back the hosts that were supposed to be packed away for modification.

Johnny took Ott and Roger and went to nostalgic fun somewhere, probably a bar where he had performed before. Ciri, on the other hand, went to find V and probably wouldn't come back tonight.

So there was only Su Ming on the rooftop of this residential building. After all, normal people would not sit on the roof drinking on a rainy day. Even if some implants can improve human immunity, medicines to treat various diseases are not available in Night City. Scarcity, but not everyone likes acid rain.

But this is also a kind of Gotham flavor.

"Huh?" The strangled bean sprouts popped out from his shoulders, rubbed on his face, and asked the host if he was okay now.

"It's nothing. I'm sorting out some illogical information and trying to connect those inspirations." Su Ming took out another can of beer from his pocket and opened the tab with a snap: "But I have a feeling. The key is the application of the 'wall'."

The dark matter formed an umbrella and floated over the head of the death knell. The rain fell on it and disappeared silently.

The wall not only protects the people in the wall, but also imprisons the people in the wall. The specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail from different angles.

The black wall is a bit like a besieged city. The AI ​​outside the city wants to come in, and the people inside the city want to get out.

"Hey."

The black bean sprout shook his head. As a symbiosis, it is one with the host. It can pretend to be confused and play a double role by talking to itself with the host. But this kind of question that the host cannot figure out, it is best not to ask it. Ask it. Bai asked.

Regarding using the non-existent ‘wall’, it is indeed a plan, but it cannot be said now. Maybe CAAT is staring at the host on the narrative level.

"I don't know how Xiao Fu's research on element zero is going. Maybe I can dig out something." Su Ming sighed, touched his chin, and took another sip of wine: "TOAA gave me the paint. But there is a lot of pigment, and there is still a lot after dealing with the Court of Origin and God, so it must have other uses, but where should it be used?"

"Hey." Strangler nodded in agreement, yes, where is it used?

"Should I go look for the First Firmament? As the most original embodiment of the omnipotent universe, it may have some clues." Su Ming thought of another way, but he didn't have too high hopes. The First Firmament Now it is still sleeping at the beginning of time, but it seems to have died down.

"Hey." Strangler and its host are of the same mind. Of course, it also knows that there is no use in going to First Cangqiong. After all, Cangqiong is a loser, not as good as TOAA, who is now in power and can play nesting dolls in layers, and its position is in a hostile state.

If First Sky wakes up, it is afraid that it will kill the Five Creation Gods immediately and then carry out its dictatorial restoration. If it wakes up, it will find that all the figures it created in the past, that is, the Celestial God Group, are almost dead. , it probably won’t be too happy.

"Sure enough, do you still have to look for ideas in other worlds? A world that is not part of the Marvel system."

With his left elbow resting on the armrest of the chair and his face, Su Ming poured himself another sip of beer with his right hand. In this sip, he almost finished the whole can. He destroyed the empty can:

"The world of Cyberpunk 2077 has given me some ideas, but this idea is not perfect enough to be used against CAAT. I still need some inspiration that can lead to qualitative changes. Where do you think it is better for me to go and see?"

"Hey." Strangler said that it can go anywhere. As a symbiote, of course it will follow the host wherever it goes. The main thing is that it will never be separated.

"Of course I know you are the most loyal, but it's useless to say these disgusting words now." As he said this, Su Ming still stretched out his hand to touch Dou Ya's smooth and moist head: "I think that all abstractions Among things, dreams are the easiest to understand, so if I want to seek breakthrough inspiration, maybe I should go to dreams.”

"Hey." Strangler said that of course it was possible. Anyway, the Dream of Thousand Cats was idle. That cat was probably back to fish in the dreamland now, right?

It is always like this. As one of the Sandman, it only enjoys the rights of the Sandman, but does not bear any obligations. The cat is free.

"Well, I'm not familiar with dreams in other worlds, so prepare to go to the Land of Dreams and see those unwritten stories and those things that don't exist."

Su Ming stood up, moved his neck, lowered his head, lit a cigarette again, and took a puff:

"You can take over the affairs of Night City, Lieutenant, and keep an eye on Johnny and V. There will definitely be a follow-up to their story. I'm still waiting to see it one day."

"Okay Sheriff, let me inform Shiri for you and then teleport you away." The deputy's projection floated out. She was also drinking beer at this time, but unfortunately Sepulk was a huge artificial metal ball. There was no rain to wet the adjutant: "But won't you join Johnny and his friends in their celebration? They are going to drink now."

The energy level of the universe in which 2077 is located is too low. Although there is an abstract cyberspace, its foundation is not thick enough.

Standing on this platform, you can't see the scenery further away. Sure enough, you still need to find a mountain, a mountain high enough for people to stand on and look out, or the shoulders of giants.

If you can't see what's on the top of a mountain while stepping on small stones, and the mountain is too steep to climb, then find a gentler mountain with the same height.

So the only thing that can be equal to the Marvel Omniverse is DC's hyper-time flow system. Anyway, after obtaining the power of origin, Su Ming has not yet been to the Sandman's library. Use these new abilities to try I want to read those uncomposed poems from a different angle.

"When have you ever seen me participate in a celebration? Haha, every time the Justice League survives a crisis, they will hold a party, but the best way for mercenaries to celebrate is to go home. By the way, what is Lucifer doing now? No. Are you being dragged by Elaine to play house?" Su Ming suddenly remembered the golden-haired devil and asked by the way.

The lieutenant didn't answer, but just gave the sergeant a look with his big cute eyes. The answer was yes. Now the former Satan was attending the New God's tea party with the dolls and bunnies.
