Chapter 787 Welcome To

Chapter 787 Welcome to...

Although the Saint has descended, Duanmu Huai is not afraid. The reason why he chose this future is probably because this world has almost no magic power and cannot use magic. So naturally, guys like servants who need magic power to exist cannot survive.

But... For the Inquisitor, this is also a problem?

Do you want me to tell you why my name is Little Hammer Hammer Smash Your Head?

Fortunately, although it is the Saint's descending form, Lumiel's terminal is still there, so Duanmu Huai also decisively turned on the machine, woke up Lumiel, and explained the current situation to her.

I have to say that after listening to Duanmu Huai's story, Lumiel was also confused.

"Uh... So this is you? Mr. Inquisitor?"

"Of course, what, do you have any objections? Can't I have a pure girl's heart?"

"That's not what I mean... Uh, it's nothing."

Limiel decisively chose to change the subject.

"So, what should we do now, Mr. Judge?"

"It's very simple, completely destroy this world."

As the God of Destruction--oh, the Saint of the God of Destruction, Duanmu Huai said that the goal remains unchanged and will continue to proceed according to the plan.

"Completely destroy the entire world?"

"Yes, we are not in a stable world at present, but an illusory future. The other party wants to fix this future and connect it to the past, so that Chaldea will perish in the future--well, anyway, the other party's time manipulation is very fancy, and it has indeed added a very classic case to the Inquisition."

Duanmu Huai silently wrote it down. Although this crisis only involves one planet, it must be admitted that this method of trying to destroy mankind by interfering with the past and the future is indeed very interesting. Of course, this trick is basically useless against the Chaos Evil God, because it involves the timeline of the entire galaxy, and Duanmu Huai does not have this ability, even if it is treacherous and cunning, it is also not possible--it is estimated that only Yog-Sothoth can do it.

"Do we need to call for a ground attack?"

"No, this timeline is very fragile and there is no way to summon a warship, so we need to investigate here and find a way to completely destroy this world."

Hmm... How come this sounds like the final BOSS?

But it seems to be okay.

"I understand, but Judge..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you have to dress like this?"

The reason why Lumiel was speechless was that the system read his game character data based on what Duanmu Huai was wearing. So, of course, what Duanmu Huai was using was his in-game equipment. Duanmu Huai's saint was currently equipped with synthetic skins - in simple terms, it was a black tights like Catwoman, which was very assassin-like. Of course, this synthetic skin was not only cool, but also completely defensive and able to resist bullet attacks. In addition, Duanmu Huai was also equipped with a rose rosary to release a void shield, which was normal.

But the problem was that he was wearing a cloak outside.

Pink, furry, with a bunny-like hood and two long ears that bounced.

It looked very cute.

"Don't underestimate this cloak, it..."

"My personal suggestion is that Mr. Judge should choose less conspicuous equipment."

"Okay then."

Although Lumiel's tone was very polite, the strong sense of disgust in it was obvious, so Duanmu Huai sighed silently and changed the pink bunny outfit into a white cloak.

"Alas, this is the bad thing about playing games online with people you know in real life..."

After complaining helplessly, Duanmu Huai turned around and walked out of the dark alley, looking around, and then he frowned slightly.

It was already afternoon, and the whole street looked very lively, with flashing neon lights everywhere on the street and people coming and going... However, for Duanmu Huai, this scene was not very beautiful.

"Ah, this damn place reminds me of the Hive."

Looking at the street in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. Indeed, there were flashing neon lights everywhere, but the walls of these buildings were full of graffiti, which looked extremely dirty.

People came and went on the street, but there was hardly a normal person in sight. Their bodies had obviously been modified. Just by a glance, Duanmu Huai saw that some of them had steel hands and feet, and some even had eyes that looked like glowing cameras. Everyone had a card reader-like socket next to their ears.

And most of these people were ragged and dirty, looking like a group of street urchins.

Ah, this reminded Duanmu Huai of the lower levels of the Hive, those mutants, veterans and gangsters wearing worn-out biochemical prostheses, and the damn gene stealers...

The only thing that was better than the Hive was that at least you could look up and see the blue sky and white clouds, and it wouldn't be so depressing that it made people breathless.

"Lummiel, scan these guys and see what they are."

Duanmu Huai didn't care that he would be noticed, because the equipment he wore, whether it was the pink bunny just now or the white robe now, had special concealing abilities. Otherwise, with the appearance of a saint like Duanmu Huai, he would be turned into a superstar when walking on the street.

"I understand... Hey? What is this...?"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Lumiel's surprise, Duanmu Huai asked curiously.

"Report to the judge, these people... are no longer pure humans. According to the scan results, each of them has undergone some kind of transformation on themselves, and even connected to the brain through a mechanical neural port... I really didn't expect that there is such a world..."

Even Lumiel was surprised. Although there are similar transformations in their world, not everyone can afford it. Nano-mechanical fusions like Lumiel and Eclair are even more confidential, and most of the other transformed people are affiliated with the military or government.

In her world, most ordinary people will not be transformed. After all, they don't have the ability or the funds.

But in this world…even the beggars on the street have implants in their bodies!

What is going on in this world?

"Tsk tsk tsk, those oil guys will definitely like this world very much."

Duanmu Huai has no particular likes or dislikes for human body modification itself. Of course, personally, he still doesn't like things like human body modification implants. But that group of oil guys is obviously not the case. Many people are even crazy enough to replace all parts of their bodies except their heads with machines - well, after all, they are immediately identified as aliens after replacing their skulls.

To be honest, this feels more like a world forged by some oil guy to Duanmu Huai.

Obviously, this world has been highly networked, and network interfaces and terminals can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Duanmu Huai found a terminal, and then asked Lumiel to invade it, and soon learned about the situation in this world.

According to the history of this world, in the near past, due to climate change, countries were in turmoil, giant multinational companies rose, and various conflicts and wars also unfolded. In short, after a series of wars, the world is now devastated, with conflicts and killings everywhere. People are immersed in a life of drunkenness and dreams, either becoming wandering wanderers, or becoming slaves of multinational corporations, or becoming the poor or gang members at the bottom.

In short, in this world, multinational corporations have become an existence that can sit on an equal footing with countries. They can even be regarded as having their own territories, their own armies, and making their own weapons... Well, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, these capitalists should be hanged on street lights.

"…………Such a world is really uncomfortable..."

After searching for intelligence, Lumiel also sighed in a low voice.

"In our galaxy, there are also people on some planets who live a similar life. Although they don't have implants, they are also squeezed by those big companies and government officials, and can only live a miserable life every day. But many times, we can't do anything about it."

Duanmu Huai certainly knew what Lumiel was talking about. He still remembered that when the two came to the trial court, Lumiel said that the reason they fled was because of a failed mission. At that time, they were sent to suppress the rebellion, but after arriving at the place, Lumiel and Eclair found that the government officials and big companies there were in collusion, vigorously exploiting civilians, and even sending troops to suppress the other party's protests.

Eclair, who couldn't bear it, chose to resist and defeated the army that suppressed the people, and the rioting people also rushed into the Governor's Mansion, and the latter finally fled.

Of course, the planetary governor was also very angry about this, so he directly reported the two people-I asked you to suppress the riot, but you turned against me?

Eclair and Lumiel were hunted down by the organization because of this, and finally fled to the court of justice.

It is also because of this that Lumiel's feelings about this scene are very deep and normal.

"So, we must completely destroy this future."

"But how? According to the information I retrieved, some people even detonated nuclear bombs at the headquarters of these big companies in order to resist them, but..."

"Of course, this is useless. A simple armed attack is just the work of terrorists and is meaningless."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"But now, let's take it step by step... By the way, Lumiel, what is the name of this city?"

"Night City."
