"So... the fact that I traveled to Gotham was actually my own fault?"

"That's right!"

Pure White nodded obediently.

When Leo thought of the bizarre encounters and dangers he had experienced in the past 24 hours, he fell into deep self-loathing.

Fortunately, he had developed a strong heart under the double torture of the client and the stupid leader, and could barely withstand this kind of blow.

After letting go of his mistake, he asked the original question again: "Let's put aside what happened before. Where exactly is this place? Since I have traveled back in time, shouldn't I return to the real world?"

"I'm sorry, father. We seem to have been sucked into another dimension by the singularity. We are now in a very strange dimension. According to the information I have urgently compiled in the past 24 hours, you will soon face the next 'crossing'."

"No way, you're coming again!?" Leo was afraid. "Can't I go back to reality? I haven't spent all the money I saved in my bank card with great effort. In fact, I don't want to travel through time at all!"

"I'm afraid not. Please look above your head."

Chunbai stretched out his hand and pointed, guiding Leo's gaze to look that way.

【00:03:24】

"What do you mean... I have to travel through time again in three minutes?"

"Yes. Since I haven't sorted out the information that comes with the Curiosity Point, you can only stay in this space similar to a transit station for ten minutes before embarking on the next journey."

"Go to another world and stay there for another 24 hours?"

"I'm afraid it will take more than 24 hours. I brought you back by force this time. According to my calculations, you will normally stay in the 'New World' for seven to fifteen days until I have taken care of the chores here and have accumulated enough energy to bring you back."

"Ah this..."

【00:02:56】

Just a few words and half a minute was saved.

"There's no time to explain, father. I will now guide you through the initialization settings for the second time travel. If you have any questions, we can discuss it in detail next time!"

Chunbai spoke faster and waved his hands rapidly in front of him, his urging was obvious.

Although Leo was numb, his reason still took over and he quickly faced the reality.

"Okay, let's get through this first..."

"With the power of the singularity, I can help you find a world you can travel through. I have sorted out the data in your personal computer first. According to the reverse chronological order, you now have two choices—"

"One is Cyberpunk 2077, the other is Warhammer 40K. Which world do you want to go to?"

Nobody: Chapter 207 Cyberpunk 6...! ?

"W-Warhammer...40K!?"

Leo stuttered.

"The previous one is fine, but time travel is not allowed in the Warhammer world!"

Not to mention seven to fifteen days, if you are unlucky, you will die on the day you cross over...

"I thought so too, but I have only sorted out the coordinates of these two worlds. I can only inconvenience my father for a while."

Chunbai conjured up a virtual panel and started operating quickly.

The data stream that flashed across the panel so quickly was beyond the range of the naked eye, and looking at it for a few seconds longer made him dizzy.

Half a minute later, the cat girl stretched her body and revealed a small tiger tooth: "Done, I hacked into the citizen information database of Night City and can help you create a fake identity. Come and fill in the form~"

Leo leaned over and saw a form similar to a resume, listing the information that needed to be filled out.

Since time was limited, he didn't waste any time and directly used voice to let Chunbai input at high speed.

"Name: Leonardo Dicaprio, age: 18, make up your background and upbringing at random, I came to Night City to study from a mysterious ancient country in the East."

"Are you sure about this name?"

"It's a fake identity anyway, who cares!"

"OKK."

I have to say that AI is very efficient. It can compile a decent citizenship in less than a minute.

As long as no one goes to the East to verify it personally, there is basically no need to worry about being exposed.

Finally, here is a close-up photo of Leo, and a very realistic fake identity has just been revealed.

The cat girl Pure White flew in front of him, holding up the virtual panel like a treasure: "Look, look, I also took the opportunity to 'steal' a little start-up capital from the online black market for you~"

"A few hundred million?!" Leo was full of anticipation.

"Please don't over-interpret it. It's only a little bit. Taking too much may attract the attention of regulators."

Leo looked at the money in his personal account - 217,025 euros.

21 is not a lot, but not a little either. If you spend it frugally, it is enough to do a lot of things.

If you are bold enough, you can directly hire a legendary mercenary who is described as "this person is extremely talented" and you should be able to make him or her run around in circles.

【00:01:01】

"Time is running out. Please remove the monitoring devices that Batman secretly placed on your collar and waistband."

"……what?"

Leo was stunned and quickly checked the corresponding position. Sure enough, he found two chip-sized pocket devices.

Pure White explained: "That is a locator and a bug. It is absolutely safe here, but if you go back to Gotham, your secrets and whereabouts will undoubtedly be exposed."

"Damn bats..."

Leo couldn't believe that in just a few seconds of contact between the two, Batman had actually installed two surveillance cameras!

Batman always bugs everyone he meets. What a bad habit of his...

He clenched the two small devices, pretending to throw them to the ground and crush them, but suddenly stopped and spread his hands again -

This is the bug given by Batman himself. The Joker’s “souvenir” is gone, but Batman’s “souvenir” seems to be quite collectible.

"Pure White, are you sure this place is absolutely safe?"

"It is confirmed that within the 'Singularity', we are the only ones who can spy on the outside world. The outside world will never be able to discover, track, or approach us."

"Well, keep it then."

So, the bug and locator "given" by Batman became the first "decoration" on the desk.

After appreciating it for a few seconds, Leo suddenly felt that something was wrong with what Chunbai had just said: "What do you mean - go back to Gotham? Do I have to go back?"

"Yes... You currently only have three options for traveling. Unless you want to go to the Warhammer world, you can only travel back and forth between Cyberpunk and Gotham."

Junbai covered his face with his hands, seeming to feel guilty.

"If only I hadn't sent that pop-up window, I would have put my father in such a precarious situation..."

Seeing the pitiful posture of the white-haired cat girl he had sculpted with his own hands, Leo could only choose to forgive her, "It's okay, after all, I pressed the confirmation button myself..."

"Wow...Father is so kind~"

"You must be careful when you take risks. I am studying the power of the singularity here. I will inform you through the network if I find anything!"

"When you arrive in the cyberpunk world, the first thing you need to do is install a brain-computer interface. Your money is in your personal online account and you need to be online to use it. Then you need to find a safe place to live. I will pick you up when I have enough energy..."

With Chunbai's constant reminders, the countdown reached the last three seconds.

Three…two…one!

The scene in front of him froze at the moment when Chunbai waved to him with tears in her eyes.

The next second, Leo appeared at a busy intersection.

The sound is noisy.

All kinds of strange smells flooded into my nose, not only cheap perfume, cigarettes, and smog, but also some new smells that I had never smelled before.

The magical thing is that the passers-by seemed to be unaware of this person who "appeared out of thin air" until he looked around for a long time and someone looked at him curiously.

It was the kind of look that was... full of scrutiny, scrutiny, and a bit of ill intent.

Leo was awakened by those unfriendly gazes and quickly lowered his head, no longer looking around like Granny Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden.

Watson District, Little Chinatown.

He asked Chunbai to place himself next to Lao Wei's clinic.

Because Lao Wei is a good person who has been "plot-certified".

They are also one of the few people he is willing to try to trust in the strange yet not-so-strange cyberpunk world.

Looking at the passers-by in strange clothes all over the street, I looked down at the shabby clothes on myself.

Leo was shocked to find that this old clothes specially provided for homeless people actually made him look less different and quite similar to the people at the bottom of this world.

The only difference is that he has no tattoos and messy prosthetic appearance, and looks a little too white.

When a few Mexicans and blacks began to point fingers at him, Leo quickened his pace and headed towards the alley on the left.

Bottles and cans were scattered on the patched road surface. Not far away were several snack and drink vending machines. Looking at the colorful foods in the display window, he couldn't help swallowing.

In the 24 hours since he traveled to Gotham, he only ate a few pieces of cold fried chicken and drank a few cans of soda, and was almost in a semi-starved state.

Now that he had money, he really wanted to buy some junk food and treat himself.

Unfortunately... when he saw a passerby paying the bill with his "mind", he realized that he would not be able to spend the money without a brain-computer interface.

Quickening his pace, he soon saw an old friend, or to be more precise—he heard his loud speech from a distance.

"But you are not the master of your own memory! Because your eyes do not belong to you, or rather..."

"Not just for you!"

Prophet Gary - spoiler, lunatic, conspiracy theorist, and many similar labels can all be attached to him.

Leo is interested in this person, but not now. The most important task at the moment is to find Lao Wei to install the brain-computer interface.

Fortunately, the prophet's temporary residence was right next to Misty's Psychic House.

Lao Wei's clinic is just behind the psychic house.

Before entering, he ignored the scrutinizing gaze of the "bodyguard" beside the door and stood at the door of the store and looked inside.

The shops and characters in the game appear before your eyes. This wonderful and confusing feeling is really hard to describe in words.

"Hey, come in, even if you're just looking around, it's okay, my shop doesn't charge admission."

The young short-haired female shop owner greeted him in a friendly manner.

Leo responded with a polite smile, and just as he stepped his right foot into the door, his body suddenly froze.

Directly in front of his sight was an electronic timer that clearly displayed - February 2076, 2.

207…6! ?

I watched it several times and it was always the same number.

Leo was a little confused. He traveled into the world of Cyberpunk 2077, and you said it is 2076 now?

Isn't this a fraudulent title?

Nobody: Chapter 8 Friendly Faces, Misty and Old V

Leo took a deep breath.

The fragrance of lavender incense filled his nose, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, soothing his restless heart.

2076...

There is still a whole year to go before the "main storyline of the game" that he is familiar with.

No one knows where V Zhentian is hiding as an unknown person... or maybe he is a company executive.

The "biochip", the core of all contradictions, is still safely kept in the Arasaka laboratory and has not been brought to Night City by "our undercover agent" Arasaka Yorinobu.

Theoretically, this should be a good thing. At least nothing major happened this year and everything was stable. It was an excellent opportunity for his development.

But he always felt like he had forgotten something...

"You seem really confused. Why don't you try Tarot divination? Maybe it can give you some inspiration."
