As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 762 Yanan's Scroll

In his dream, Li Nuo received a "voice-transmitting spirit".

He took a slip of paper from the elf, which was signed "Brup" and had a line of text written below it.

--"receive."

The "incorporation" of Brupp and his group was considered complete.

Li Nuo never intended to keep that huge painting with him from the beginning. The key that is necessary to pass the game is also the most dangerous radar. It will attract the attention of both the natives and the players, and may even attract more ancient gods, including the behind-the-scenes BOSS who sealed the summoning ticket.

If we consider multiple factors, we should also include the player who is above level 99 and has the ability to change the story notes.

So he gave the painting to Brupe and his group.

There are other schemes involved.

This story begins with Li Nuo's first encounter with Gerry, the player from "Sky Corridor" whom he captured when he first entered the dream world.

Gerry had said at the time that he couldn't contact Brupp and his group because they were big shots.

However, Kemin, who later helped Li Nuo deliver a letter to Brupp, was also a player of "Sky Corridor". Although her status was far lower than Gri's, she was able to find Brupp immediately after leaving the dream.

This means that Gerry lied.

This also means that the "Corridor of the Empty Sky" cannot be trusted.

So, once the conflict of interest reaches its peak, Bruper has a guy named Dee by his side, who is the "Enchantress." If the "Enchantress" turns her guns on "Redemption," it's not that it can't be resolved, but it will be very troublesome.

Li Nuo believes there is a greater than 70% chance that Brupert will buy the painting.

The reasons why Brupe and his friends were willing to take the risk of acquiring a prop that would bring them trouble are another matter entirely.

First of all.

The "Sky Corridor" represented by Brupert contains a large number of highly individualistic people who find it difficult to unite.

Their opponent is the most powerful "End".

But Brupert and his team also understood that, in terms of individual danger level alone, the most dangerous player was undoubtedly Li Nuo.

Lino himself is caught between "The End" and "Emptiness". By giving the painting to Brupe first, he means that as long as Brupe accepts it, he will not take the initiative to help "The End".

Second.

As the "Enchantress," Di's nemesis is the "Focusor."

Of the 8893 players, there are two "Focusers," excluding Cha Bai, and one is in the "Eternal Corridor." This information comes from player data provided by Soren before the scenario began, and based on level conversions, Li Nuo believes his estimate is accurate.

For Di, reducing one of his adversaries would significantly lower the difficulty level.

Li Nuo had considered all of the above in great detail, leaving nothing out.

This was the last thing he considered.

Li Nuo handed the painting to Brupe, with the message, "We will always be friends."

To give weaker players a way out, World Tree deliberately created a personal main storyline for each player.

Li Nuo's personal storyline is:

Be a good person

This is exactly the persona he created for himself in the future courtroom.

The settings must be followed.

Otherwise, the mouth substitute will not work.

So he expressed goodwill to Brupp, and how Brupp and his group interpreted it was their business.

If Brupert doesn't understand or accept kindness, then good people can't always choose to forgive.

If human minds could appear as holes on the skin, then Li Nuo would be a boon for those with trypophobia.

Now Marje has arrived in the land of dreams.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Li Nuo's fight against the ancient god, he looted the wealthy families in the city, including some blueprints for capsule making and a lot of money.

This approach is incorrect.

Li Nuo was a good person, so he gave Malger a profound critique.

He stated that in order to punish Malger, he must be sent to prison.

"You can stay here and do the infrastructure work."

Li Nuo delivered a just verdict against Malger with a disdainful tone.

“This is a dream. You will be tormented. You cannot leave this cage until I allow it, or I will have the groundhogs kick your butt.”

"Oh, this is really difficult."

Marger's words implied a plea for mercy.

Of course, Marje doesn't speak; he has no head now, so his language is all written on wooden signs on the spot.

At this moment, Cha Bai and Black Goat watched these two lunatics perform for thin air. Although Cha Bai was used to it, he still nodded to Black Goat in greeting.

"I'm sorry to have offended your eyes."

Black Goat was at a loss for words. He simply couldn't understand how Li Nuo, who had fought the Moon Goddess Baby to a standstill, had suddenly become so insane. And who was that headless guy in the white coat? There was a mystical aura about him; Black Goat even sensed the aura of "divinity" emanating from Marger.

At this moment, Marger held up a wooden sign and shook his body, using body language to express his dissatisfaction.

"Sir, you can't do this! You can't lock me up here alone! Are you trying to imprison my soul?!"

Li Nuo looked up at the moon in the sky.

“I have to do this. I can’t let you go out and endanger this city. After all… I just defeated the ancient god and saved this city.”

……

"stop--!"

A shout from January 2, 1888, interrupted Lino's narrative.

Hei Jie finally couldn't hold back anymore when she heard this.

"Do you have any shame at all?"

Sitting in the prisoner's chair, Li Nuo pinched his cheek.

"Does Blackie want to be like me, an Asian? Aren't you proud of your dark skin? Your skin color comes with a passive skill that allows you to buy things for free."

"Who said that!"

Blackie was almost rambling incoherently; to her, what Li Nuo was saying sounded like the fantasies of a madman.

"You said you took the ancient god away using your summoning ability."

"Yes."

"You said you saved that city."

"Yes."

"You said you're building your dream world as a base, and that a terrifying evil god is imprisoned inside, and that guy is your friend."

"wrong."

Li Nuo frowned and pointed out the reasons for the rejection.

“That’s not my friend. That’s just a bastard who did something wrong and was sent to the dream world for rehabilitation.”

"Ah... my lord Triss."

Even Lenny couldn't help but cover his face and pray.

"You said that the Queen Triss became a Jinchūriki of the Ancient Gods."

"Yes."

"You are defiling Lord Triss."

Li Nuo was immediately displeased.

"Then let me tell you the story of Triss warming Geralt's bed!"

"Don't insult my beliefs!"

Lenny drew her butcher knife from her waist, pointing the blade at Li Nuo, her teeth clenched as if she wanted to chop him up immediately.

“You’re talking nonsense. Everything you’ve said contradicts our common sense about hunting nightmares. Only the Bulma Merchant Guild has a similar power, but they are a civilized enterprise, not pathetic beast hunters. You’re not from that guild. You said you used to be a member of the Healing Church, but I doubt your background.”

Li Nuo shrugged: "Did the lie detector say anything?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the lie detector on the table. The eyeball lie detector, made from an ancient god's relic, looked at everyone hesitantly.

That means Li Nuo wasn't lying.

Blackie tapped on the table.

"Let's get a different lie detector."

"Why don't you check if something similar to what I'm describing happened in that city?"

Li Nuo suddenly made a suggestion. Blackie and Lennie, who were mentally frustrated by his endless stories, suddenly remembered and immediately took out a capsule, pulled out a desktop computer that looked like a pachinko machine, and looked up the records of the city that Li Nuo had described.

The room fell silent.

A deathly silence.

That city is a tourist city with a lot of people coming and going, so information is readily available. What Li Nuo said was recorded in the newspaper on November 19th.

None of those present were idiots; Blackie and the others immediately realized what was going on.

The truth was revealed by Piek.

“This did happen in the past, but such a significant event should have been known to us. However, our memories tell us that we didn't know about it, which means… your narration is also altering the past. So, if we are unaffected, but reality is affected, then it means…”

"From the moment you began to speak, everyone in the room was in another dimension."

What Piek was talking about was what Lino wanted to verify.

The three natives in the courtroom are all nominally "good people": Lennie, who hunts wild animals; Blackie, who enforces the law impartially; and Piek, who is righteous. If Lino wants to tell a story about "good people," these three are the best listeners. From now on, he will pull the Blackie trio into the vortex of the story.

What he was targeting was the power behind them, Bayer Kinworth.

However, we'll have to wait and see how things go regarding the specifics.

The trio of indigenous people believed that if an incident involving "time manipulation" occurred, something big was bound to happen. They dared not leave the courtroom rashly, in case they left at will and created a bad time paradox, the three of them might be erased.

In a world with ancient gods, don't be surprised no matter how bizarre things happen.

Finally, Sister Hei gave her acceptance speech.

“You are the prisoners we are going to interrogate, and that will never change. But from now on, the three of us are also your prisoners. We are now on the same side.”

Li Nuo clapped his hands with a smile.

"Who says black people are brainless? I think you've evolved perfectly."

You cannot discriminate based on skin color!

Despite the arguments, Li Nuo did manage to bind Bayer Kinworth of Cold Rift to himself through one incident, making his eight hundred schemes as unpredictable as floating cannons.

"Alright, please continue." Blackie tapped the table habitually, exhaling a breath of stale air as she called out Li Nuo's name: "Mr. Good Man, what happened during the rest of your journey?"

Li Nuo had already figured out what to do next.

His goal has always been singular.

Upgrade and become stronger.

So naturally, we go wherever it's dangerous.

Li Nuo then had the opportunity to ask the people in front of him questions.

But just before he was about to speak, Xiao Wu, who had been silent all along, suddenly interrupted and called out a place name.

"Cain Hearst".

Looking at Xiao Wu now, there was a sense of resentment in the girl's eyes.

Li Nuo quickly grabbed her shoulder, and the two huddled together to speak quietly.

Are you sure you want to go to Cainhearst?

Li Nuo didn't want to go there now.

In Bloodborne, Cain Hearst is a side map, but those who understand the game or its lore will realize that Cain Hearst is actually the "protagonist" in the entire Bloodborne story.

"I plan to gather more clues and props before I go there."

"But I can't wait any longer."

Xiao Wu spoke with great certainty.

She pushed Li Nuo away and began to briefly recount her story, shifting the focus away from Li Nuo and making Xiao Wu the protagonist.

Because Li Nuo used a [mouth substitute] to mess around, Xiao Wu's starting point resulted in her being born as a prostitute.

The lowest of professions are despised by many, and players who have experienced great things don't want to have much contact with the lowest-level professions.

But Xiao Wu is different.

She doesn't care.

As one of only two women who are close to Li Nuo and the others, she is different from Nanami. Nanami had no choice, but Xiao Wu simply gets along with Li Nuo and the others. This indirectly shows that Xiao Wu has a mental problem because this matter is always brought up.

On the path to becoming a top-tier player, there is one ironclad rule that must be followed.

—Love what you do.

When Xiao Wu joined the brothel, her first thought wasn't to leave, but to become the "Queen of Brothels."

Later, her personal storyline was also: [To become a household name as a socialite].

But she was actually challenging fate.

Despite her stunning beauty, this woman possessed an aura that would never lead men to view her as a woman.

Even in a brothel, Xiao Wu was a very special person. When the madam saw her, she couldn't help but cup her face and say something like this.

"What a magnificent face."

But for some reason, neither male nor female customers were interested in her.

"They later said it was because my biceps looked like a bodyguard!"

Xiao Wu covered her face and began to twitch as she spoke.

Blackie asked Lennie to get some tissues and hand them to her. Blackie's past profession wasn't clean either, and she empathized with Xiaowu's experience.

Li Nuo, without thinking, squeezed Xiao Wu's shoulder, came to a conclusion, and used it to comfort her.

"Compared to Cha Bai, you're quite overweight, so don't worry about it."

“You can shut up, Li Nuo.”

Xiao Wu continued to recount her experiences.

The time came on June 1887, 11.

That is, the same day as the ancient god Li Nuogan.

While Xiaowu was washing her hair in the bathroom, she overheard her colleagues talking about a legend about "vampires".

"I heard that the vampires are capturing prostitutes who can be used. That sounds terrifying."

"What should I do? My mom wants me to register at that terrifying mansion. She says my performance isn't good enough and I should just give myself to the vampires."

Xiao Wu became interested as soon as she heard that.

So she grabbed the two girls who were chatting and asked them about it.

The brothel had business dealings with some perverted nobles. Of course, the so-called business was not a transaction involving sex. Nobody knew the specifics, except that there was an ancient vampire noble who liked to capture useless people and take them away. However, their selection process was very complicated, and only special people could be chosen.

In the Bloodborne universe, the only vampire is Cainhurst.

However, in this scenario, according to the official "Bayer-Kinworth" records, there are only two ways to find Cain Hearst.

Seek healing from a church, or engage with dreams.

Upon hearing this, Lenny added a comment.

"Yes, we rarely encounter Cain Hearst's guys. Although they have their own cities, you can't get in unless you're someone they approve of, unless it's the Healing Church."

Lenny looked at Lino.

"Since you are a former member of the Healing Church, you should understand the horror of coming into contact with that mad church."

"Ahhh, I know, I know."

Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes, stepped on Xiao Wu's foot, and gestured for her to hurry up and speak.

Let's return to Xiao Wu's perspective.

She volunteered to go and be harmed by the vampires, along with the madam.

The madam was still holding her face in her hands.

"What a magnificent face."

Xiao Wu couldn't hold back any longer and beat up the madam, thus gaining a selection qualification. On the eve of the night of November 18, 1887, she went to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the city.

The story of Cain Hearst is deeply hidden.

They are the ancient nobles of Bloodborne.

The place where they were hiding was the city where Xiao Wu lived.

These vampires cannot leave the city because they are its oldest rulers.

This city had a name a long time ago.

—Ya Nan.
