Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

Westbrook, H8, the 12th floor of the super skyscraper.

Cloudtop, the most famous high-end brothel in Night City.

This place should have been filled with pink neon lights, psychedelic dry ice mist, and a seductive haven.

But now, this place has become a biological hell.

The elevator doors opened with a ding.

What hit me wasn't the scent of expensive perfume, but a suffocatingly strong smell of rust—the smell of blood mixed with a cloying, rotten aroma.

"vomit……"

V, who had just stepped out of the elevator, couldn't help but gag.

"Look at this place," Johnny Silverhand leaned against the reception desk covered in bloody handprints, took off his sunglasses, and revealed a look of disgust. "This place used to be just a place to sell meat, but now it's really become a place to 'sell meat'."

The once smooth marble floor was now covered with a thick, carpet-like, wriggling layer of dark red fungal growth.

The holographic GG sign on the wall was still flashing, but the beautiful woman in the picture was already tightly wrapped by fleshy tentacles growing out of the wall cracks, as if she was being swallowed by the wall.

The entire Genting Highlands seemed to come alive, transforming into a giant stomach.

"Evelyn Parker..."

V gritted his teeth, enduring the optic nerve damage caused by Relic, gripped the "Unity" pistol tightly, and carefully stepped on the slippery chunks of flesh to move deeper into the wood.

……

VIP Area - Tangmu Hall

This is the core area of ​​Genting Highlands, and also the place where the fighting is most intense.

Da da da da!

Flames spewed out, and spent cartridges clattered to the ground.

At this moment, Huang Fang's Reincarnator team is engaged in a difficult battle.

"Die! Die!!"

A yellow-clad machine gunner frantically pulled the trigger, and large-caliber kinetic bullets blasted a group of monsters in front of him into a bloody mess.

The monsters still vaguely resembled "sex dolls"—they wore revealing erotic clothing, but their bodies were severely deformed.

His limbs turned into sharp bone blades, his prosthetic eyes were squeezed out of their sockets by the growing tumors, and his chest split open into a series of large mouths full of sharp teeth.

【Variant Puppet - Lustful Puppet】.

"Damn it! These monsters have incredible regenerative abilities!" the machine gunner roared in despair.

The monsters he smashed, their shredded flesh on the ground, seemed to attract and merge with each other as if they were magnetic, piecing together in the blink of an eye into a larger, more grotesque Frankenstein's monster.

"Don't waste bullets on the torso! Hit the core!"

The bald captain, wielding a chainsaw sword that glowed with a green, acidic sheen, cleaved a charging stitched monster in two. "Find those glowing red organs!"

Although he was the weakest of the three forces, he was a seasoned reincarnator who had been through many battles and could see the weaknesses of these monsters at a glance.

But this did not improve the situation.

Because there are...too many monsters here.

Countless fleshy red tentacles poured out from the ceiling and ventilation ducts, one after another.

"Captain! We can't get through here!" The scout pointed to the corridor leading to the office of the person in charge, "Wooden Man." "It's blocked! There looks like a big guy there!"

At the end of the corridor, a huge, pulsating mountain of flesh blocked the way.

The surface of the mountain of flesh was studded with countless tormented human faces, and a crystal emitting a pink glow could be vaguely seen at its center.

【Original Sin Chip - Lust】

"That's a chip!"

A glint of greed flashed in the bald captain's eyes. "If we get it... everyone, throw all the grenades over there! Blow it open!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out in the confined space, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Just as Huang Fang's team was preparing to charge.

"I don't recommend that you do that."

A cold voice suddenly rang out from the shadows behind them.

"Who?!"

The bald captain suddenly turned around.

In the shadows at the entrance, a solitary figure stood, seemingly out of nowhere.

That's V.

V, gun in hand, looked somewhat disheveled due to the interference from the Relic chip, but his eyes remained alert: "That thing... is absorbing the energy of the explosion. You're feeding it."

Sure enough, the smoke and dust cleared up.

The mountain of flesh was not blown apart; instead, it expanded and became even redder as it absorbed the high-temperature energy.

The countless human faces on its surface opened their mouths at the same time, emitting a shrill screech that could pierce eardrums.

[Mental pollution, whispers of carnal desire].

"Ahhhhh!"

One of the Yellow Team members with a low mental attribute instantly knelt down, clutching his head, and blood gushed from his nose.

The team member's eyes became glazed over, and he dropped his weapon, even starting to tear at his clothes and skin.

"It's so hot... I want to... become one with you..."

"Don't listen! That's a psychological attack!" the bald captain roared, slapping his teammate across the face, but to no avail.

As if bewitched, the team members staggered toward the mountain of flesh and willingly threw themselves into the embrace of those tentacles.

Crunch... Sizzle...

A chilling sound of chewing and merging filled the air.

The mountain of flesh swelled up again.

"Damn it!" The bald captain felt a chill run down his spine.

The loss of a member so early in the mission undoubtedly worsens the already precarious balance of power.

"Um... are you V?"

The bald captain recognized V, but he didn't have time to care about the main characters right now.

He stared at the ever-growing mountain of flesh, gritted his teeth, and said, "Retreat! Get out of there first!"

"You want to leave now?"

Suddenly, a voice, neither male nor female, filled with overlapping echoes, emanated from that mountain of flesh.

"Since you're here... stay... and become a part of me..."

Boom!

The floor cracked.

Countless thick, fleshy tentacles shot into the sky, instantly sealing off all escape routes.

The entire hall had become a closed cage.

Huang Fang's team and V were instantly trapped.

"It's over." V leaned against the corner of the wall, gave a bitter laugh, and didn't even know where to aim his gun. "Looks like we're going to die in a piece of flesh, street performers."

"Don't disgust me," Johnny cursed, but his tone was also serious. "Damn it, this thing... only heavy firepower can clean it up."

In this moment of despair...

Ding--

A crisp elevator notification sounded particularly jarring in this bloody hell.

Everyone—including the writhing monsters—instinctively looked toward the VIP elevator that wasn't blocked by the tentacles.

The door opened.

There was no hail of bullets, no fully armed commando team.

Only one man came out, wearing a white coat, holding a strange instrument, and wearing thick-rimmed glasses.

He looked at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, pushed up his glasses, and frowned so deeply it could trap a fly:

"This environment with such a high concentration of organic matter... the bacterial content is at least ten thousand times higher than the standard. Tsk, I didn't wear protective clothing here; it would probably take at least three hours of disinfection when I got back."

"Hey! You four-eyed guy! Run!" V shouted instinctively, "It's dangerous here!"

Li Mo glanced at V, then at the besieged Huang Fang squad, and finally his gaze settled on the mountain of flesh.

"run?"

Li Mo shook his head, took a remote control out of his pocket, and pressed a button:

"No, I'm here to 'clean'."

next second.

boom!!!

The ceiling directly above the top of the cloud top, the exterior wall of the H8 skyscraper, was violently shattered by a terrifying external force.

Rocks flew everywhere, and rainwater poured in.

A golden beam of light shot in from the hole, illuminating the bloody darkness.

Within that pillar of light, three figures slowly descended.

The leading man wore a platinum-gold holy armor, his cloak billowing wildly in the air, and his face adorned with the iconic golden fox mask.

Behind him, the four holy wings of [Radiant Wings - Blazing Fire] shone brightly, like a god descending to earth.

To his left was A-Qiang, who was holding a Vulcan cannon and whose entire body was covered in blue mechanical armor.

To his right was Lin Qingyue, wielding a demonic sword and exuding a chilling aura.
