I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"You are really not..." Even at this time, he still doesn't want any reward. Melissa is now really sure that the man in front of her is some kind of supreme being.

"Shut up. I hate being called all sorts of weird things the most. It's so uncomfortable to hear. How could I deserve to sit on the golden toilet? Tsk, I feel like you won't be able to sleep well if I don't make a request. Well, I do have two requests." Sun Yang said, scratching his head.

"What's the request?" Melissa slowly came to her senses.

"I want to kill a middleman named Faraday. Please don't interfere. There is also a man named Mann. Please erase the criminal records of their team." Sun Yang said sincerely.

"That's it?" Melissa did some searching. She'd thought they were going to fight Arasaka or Military Control Technology. So it was just this little thing? This was too good of a deal...

"I'll be very happy if you do a good job. I can't do anything about the manpower. You can only do it yourselves if you are short of people. I will send the rest." Sun Yang gave a thumbs up, put some things aside and left.

Melissa, who stayed in the warehouse, watched Sun Yang cast a strange spell and then quietly left. She stared in the direction of his departure, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

Perhaps for those who are in the purgatory of Night City, a person who selflessly extends a helping hand is no different from God.

561 The first and last meeting

Night City has recently entered the rainy season. The continuous rain washes away the city's dirt, dust, and the blood and wails of the dead.

The slightly corrosive acid rain swept up the tears of the people in this city and discharged their dreams out together, just like sweat and urine discharged from the human body.

The gorgeous neon lights dimly illuminated a small area around, and wet people walked between the bright light and shadows.

The sex dolls on the roadside held up old umbrellas, and the raindrops splashed onto their equally old prosthetic bodies. Sweat and rain mixed together, giving off a sour smell.

Kabuki District, the architectural style of this area refers to some elements of East Asian culture. The upper floor is a place where civilian hackers exchange and distribute goods. People can buy puppets and personal processors needed for network operations here.

The lower floors are occupied by a large number of sex dolls, adult product stores, Mewtwo dealers, and illegal drug dealers. Of course, there are also prosthetic doctors who examine and treat these sex dolls and upgrade them with second-hand prosthetics.

In a nutshell, this is the best place for people who don’t have much money but want to have fun.

Sun Yang pushed aside a sex doll next to him, whose figure was in revealing clothing and whose gender was unclear, and walked straight into a restaurant in the alley. He ordered a drink and looked at the time.

It was a bit early. After delivering a batch of supplies to Melissa that he didn't need, he hurried over here, but ended up running a little too fast.

Wait. Sun Yang took a sip of the drink. It tasted cloyingly sweet, a bit nauseating, and afterward, he felt a bit hot. He looked at the customer next to him who had ordered another drink. They were now kissing each other passionately, their faces flushed.

What a piece of shit. Sun Yang quietly cast a healing blessing to clear his own status, but the two guys next to him were still hugging and biting even after their status was miraculously cleared.

"Johnny, I feel really good today..." "Me too, I like this drink, I feel really good..."

"Sorry for the long wait, Mr. Sun Yang."

Just as Sun Yang was considering whether to start beating people, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing an expensive wine-red suit and three eyes on the right half of his face walked in. His temperament and clothing were out of place with this place.

Following him were two men dressed like dolls, wearing only vests and underwear, with railguns on their hips.

[They were equipped with combat prosthetics and neurostimulants.] The virtual screen in front of Sun Yang popped up the record of the humanoid scan. He blinked and looked directly at the man in front of him.

"You're not late, Faraday." Sun Yang put down his drink and looked up at the unknown middleman.

The middleman in "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" doesn't possess any remarkable power. Compared to those middlemen who possess their own territories and resources, and who can negotiate with various corporate powers, he's far weaker. Despite this, he's one of the few in the city who can enjoy a life of luxury.

"Mr. Sun Yang has finally changed his mind? Have you finished using David Martinez?" Faraday, who had four eyes, did not mind the dirtiness of the place and directly found a stool to sit opposite Sun Yang.

Many clients, concerned about concealing their whereabouts, would arrange to meet with middlemen in unusual locations. These locations included sewers, canning factories, and street vendors, with drink shops in the Kabuki district being a common place.

"I heard you wanted Lucy too? She's Martinez's girlfriend, you should know her," Sun Yang pointed at the table, "was it Arasaka who specifically asked for her?"

"Martinez, I can give you 50,000 euros, and another 50,000 if you can catch Lucy. I don't need anyone else." Faraday smiled slightly. It was a very common thing in Night City to eat up all the employees under his command and then sell them off.

Sun Yang just looked at him silently and shook his head slightly.

Several newly recruited humanoid teams had already been deployed around the area, and the elite humanoids were ready to kill the security guards Faraday had stationed outside. The electronic warfare humanoids responsible for handling the nearby cameras also sent a signal to Sun Yang.

"You know, they are not that important. This price is already the market price. We have to eat, right?" Faraday even sent Sun Yang some of the price tags of human trafficking by his subordinates to prove that he did not cheat anyone.

"Okay." Sun Yang said to himself.

"What's okay?" As soon as Faraday finished speaking, a rail gun appeared in Sun Yang's hand.

Puff! With a slight vibration, the railgun was launched.

Faraday's burgundy suit was soaked in large areas, and he fell down tiltedly. His suit was actually equipped with a bulletproof pad, but it was useless against the railgun developed by Oasis.

Puff puff puff... The two bodyguards drew their weapons and fired at Sun Yang in the next instant.

The two bodyguards behind him were quick enough, but they never expected that Sun Yang could conjure up a weapon with just a wave of his hand. They also never expected that the bullets from their pistols would have no effect on Sun Yang's face.

These rail bullets embedded themselves into the skin of Sun Yang's cheeks and throat, but that was all.

The two bodyguards had used up all the bullets in their pistols in about half a second. Sun Yang was a step slower and shot each of them, piercing their heads.

It all happened so fast that when the two bodyguards fell down, the manager of the beverage store and the customers realized it belatedly and ran away or found a place to squat.

Outside the store, people could be heard screaming in fear, and there were also gunshots in the chaos. However, the gunshots soon stopped, and all the people Faraday had brought nearby were killed.

"Clear data and memories," Sun Yang ordered the support group's humanoids. He walked around the table and lifted Faraday up. A hole had been punched in Faraday's chest, and blood was gushing out. In a few minutes, he would go into shock from blood loss and die.

"No, no, I, I can give it to you..." Faraday hadn't finished his plea when Sun Yang pointed the gun at his head and fired several times, shattering the chips and brain-computer interface inside. He then had the humanoid remotely burn his prosthetic body. Some souls entered Sun Yang's body.

[Yang, we've short-circuited the nearby detectors, reprogrammed the data exchange center, and set the disguised signal to a rogue AI. Faraday's men have also been dealt with.]

M4's report arrived on time. Sun Yang glanced to the side and saw the store manager, who had just been squatting there, now lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face.

The humanoids had already used their brain-computer interfaces to wipe the memories of those nearby. Those without brain-computer interfaces were attacked by the new humanoid team, knocked to the ground, and then injected with a shot of medicine.

"That's a way to understand someone's concerns." Sun Yang wouldn't take action against someone at the middleman's level unless he really wanted to. But Faraday was someone Sun Yang really wanted to deal with.

This way, there won't be any foreshadowing for the time being. Mann Squad can just work honestly here; it's not like they can't afford it. They can be kicked out when the situation gets dire.

As the saying goes, killing is easy, but dealing with it afterwards is incredibly difficult. Sun Yang told the humanoids to continue their work while he packed up the bodies and threw them back to the base as food.

562 Rukatiye Wants to Become Stronger

There was nothing left to worry about or deploy. Sun Yang led the humanoids back to their base in Night City and lay dormant again.

There were no major moves, but some detection and intelligence work still needed to be done. Sun Yang still had the humanoids monitor the actions of various companies.

The most important of them is Hermann, who currently works at Arasaka Corporation. He is the main developer of the RELIC project, and Sun Yang must keep track of his whereabouts.

There was also the matter of Mann's team. Sun Yang took the time to give them a verbal warning, telling them not to cause trouble while working.

When Night City is about to fall into chaos, just let them leave the city.

However, the peaceful life did not last long. A few days after doing these things, Sun Yang's room was pushed open by a familiar figure.

"Sun Yang, are you busy now? I have something to discuss with you," Rukatiye, who was nearly 1.85 meters tall and looked even taller than before, walked in quickly. "You don't look busy, and you don't seem to be playing with puppets."

Rukatiye's figure was taller than when Sun Yang first saw him. This was a normal phenomenon. In the Dark Souls world, guys with strong soul power would become more or less bloated and powerful.

It’s just that the undead people later on wouldn’t grow that big, and even Sun Yang’s height increased by a few centimeters.

"Ahem, I don't play with dolls every day. So what do you want to talk to me about? Are you pregnant?" Sun Yang coughed a little awkwardly.

"What a rude question! Unfortunately, I don't have one. I guess it's hard for an immortal to get pregnant. Seriously, I want to find a good doctor to implant me with a prosthetic." Rukatiye pulled out a plastic bag from his back. "Give me a Sian Westin."

Inside the bag was a complex artificial spine. It was none other than Sian Westin.

Sun Yang was a little surprised, but he soon understood why Rukatiye had such an idea - the answer was simple, her movement speed was not as fast as those beasts who were pretending to be Krenchikov and Sian Westin.

Although the undead are far more powerful than humans in every aspect, even Rukatiye, who excels in close combat, cannot compare with these creatures that are full of technology and ruthlessness and whose reactions are faster than those of humans.

And to be honest, Sianweistan is actually very suitable for undead use. A normal human would probably die if they used it five or six times a day, but for a strong undead, using this thing would probably be as easy as drinking water.

"No problem. Oasis Medical Department has many humanoids who have performed surgeries in the operating room. You don't need to use this prosthesis. I will ask the scientific research department to make you a better one to replace it." Sun Yang nodded and agreed to Rukatiye's request, and put the Sian Westin in her hand aside.

"Are you a domineering president? Your puppets are doing so many experiments, I had no idea about it." Rukatiye was amused by Sun Yang's words and laughed.

"Even the latest products sold outside have many built-in backdoors and remote shutdown programs, which are extremely troublesome. The ones I make in-house are offline versions from the beginning. Even if you have ten thousand hackers standing next to you, they can't hack into it."

Sun Yang waved his hand in front of his eyes and issued new orders to the humanoids in Oasis, asking them to create a version with the best performance based on the information at hand.

Although there are many powerful military-grade prosthetics circulating on the market in Night City, the performance of these prosthetics is often beyond the reach of humans, so sometimes they are deliberately circulated to be tested by mercenaries who are unlucky enough to take advantage of them, and the data is collected at the same time.

"It's okay, just use the strongest version. Um, I might need to borrow the spiral sword, is that okay? I'm afraid I'll need to wait for a while." Rukatiye waved his hand and asked for the highest intensity directly. This is the confidence that the undead body gives me.

Even if his body couldn't bear it, he could just put on the consecrated crown and die back in the campfire. It was precisely because of this extraordinary body that Rukatiye could create anything he wanted.

[Copyright Professor, received Ms. Rukatiye. This process will not be slow, just wait a moment.]

De Lacey on the other side of the screen nodded, and she quickly transmitted a series of signals. A large number of electronic documents were sorted out, and some humanoids were replaced with undead bodies to see if they could find any magical inspiration.

As the documents were piling up, a thin, gray-haired Crochet walked in. She had also received the message, and her work opinions were needed.

"I have no objection. Rukatiye is the most powerful character here, perhaps the only one. It will definitely work well, but the technical specifications will require her to cooperate several times. However, Ms. Rukatiye, I need your cooperation to check something for me." Crouch pulled out a silver scalpel from his bottom.

[We've specially crafted a batch of Saturn alloy scalpels specifically for dissecting difficult-to-dismember organisms and specimens. Please ask Ms. Rukatier to see if she can cut them open.] Crouch looked quite distressed.

Sun Yang took out the scalpel and handed it to Rukatiye.

"Come to think of it, it seems like they're going to replace my entire spine with an artificial one... That's a bit scary." Rukatiye hesitated for a moment, but still slashed his palm with it without hesitation. The incredibly sharp scalpel only broke the skin, not even penetrating the underlying muscle layer.

"Why are you holding a blunt knife?" Rukatiye slashed a few more times, then put the knife down speechlessly. The bleeding on her palm had visibly stopped.

Blunt knife? Sun Yang stabbed his arm, penetrating only half a centimeter, and immediately felt a burst of pain.

"I know why you don't need to wear armor. No, you are an undead, right? Is this the physical strength an undead should have?" Sun Yang said as he rubbed his hands to recover.

"What's that saying? The body responds to the will? I think that's perfectly fine for us undead," Rukatiye said disapprovingly. She wasn't a knight for nothing.

"That's what I'm worried about. I'm afraid we don't have the right knife to perform the operation. This knife cuts through wood like butter." Crocchi said speechlessly.

"This is not difficult. Please ask Sun Yang to enchant the scalpel with powerful magic. Forget about the aromatic mucus, as it's a bit too expensive." Rukatiye continued.

I hate these unscientific things. I also can't understand how a dagger can penetrate armor with just some slime. It's completely unreasonable. But, okay, that problem is solved. However, this prosthetic does have flaws, and I want to tell you all in advance.

Crocchi transferred a file to Sun Yang, who took out his tablet and looked at it with Rukatiye.

"The machine we've built with the materials we have should be enough for your intensive use. But the problem is that if you get injured, you can't use any miracle recovery techniques. Your prosthetic body will be rejected." Crocchi didn't hide it. After all, Sun Yang had really tested it on people and knew the effect.

"That's really troublesome... Can't you restore my body and keep this prosthesis unaffected? Ms. Croce, you must have a way." Rukatiye knew very well that the soul puppet in front of him had developed many new technologies.

"How can I understand miracles? I'm just a Gundam tinkerer." Crocchi said harshly.

dong dong dong.

Just as the family was discussing a decision, there was a knock on the door.

"I heard your argument, Master Sun Yang, Ms. Rukatiye. It just so happens that I have made a breakthrough." Strade, who had been wandering outside for a long time, finally came back.

563 The problem of immortality must be solved with immortality

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Strade. I thought you'd lost yourself on Twisting Street," Sun Yang said, inviting Strade to sit down and placing a large cup of cold tea in front of him. "It looks like you've accomplished something remarkable."

"As you said, Master Sun Yang, in this city full of filth and weak souls, I have found the magical secrets hidden in it. But before that, I have to solve the problem of the Imperial Princess first." Strade grabbed the cold tea and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his beard.

"I think you didn't call me like this last time. Which country's princess would spend all day wielding a sword and killing people? All princesses are engaged in diplomacy." Rukatiye couldn't help but complain.

"It's just that Master Sun Yang has never been willing to admit his identity. He already has the ability to seize the country. Although I want to scold Master Sun Yang for hanging out with puppets all day long, I can't say anything because I am in a panic all day long... I'm getting off topic." Strade coughed and rolled up his sleeves.

His arm wasn't what a human should be made of. From the elbow to the fingertips, it was constructed entirely of fine metal. It was engraved with strange runes, gleaming with a magical aura.

"This is what I called a solution, Master Sun Yang, try to cast your spell on me." Strade said confidently.

"Repair." A magical white light flashed, and the arm did not change at all, still looking the same.

"Recover." A miraculous golden light flashed, and the slightly damaged arms were restored to their original state. It was as if these hands originally belonged to Strider.

"How did you do that?" Rukatiye looked at Strade's hands in disbelief. Normally, these metal arms would be pushed out directly by the newly grown flesh hands.

"Soul crystallization technology," Strade clenched his arms and smiled arrogantly. "I have been studying the mysteries of crystallization magic, and Andil once used the Gray Mist Core to consult scholars from past eras about their achievements."

"One of them is the white dragon Seath, who hasn't gone mad yet. Yes, Andil met with that scaleless dragon and brought back the true secrets of crystal magic."

"Your opening remarks are ridiculously long, but I remember that in the Lordran era, Big Hat Logan also obtained the secret of crystal magic, but he went crazy, right? It's a pity that Andil was able to complete the communication alive." Sun Yang took over the conversation, but to be honest, Strade has been to many places, and he is much more diligent than himself in exploring the truth of magic.

"Logan's talent is comparable to mine, but he is still just a fragile human being. Rashly accepting such knowledge would only tear his sanity apart. But Andil had obviously transformed himself into something like a stone tree at that time, so he was able to accept the knowledge. Also, you should remember that I once studied enchanted prosthetics a long time ago." Strade talked freely.

Indeed, this was the case. Long ago, when Sun Yang was leading his humanoid figures across the Dolan Gureg continent, he discovered the runes that controlled the puppets. Andil developed the Rune Prosthetic Body based on those runes.

However, as the materials and equipment of the humanoids were upgraded, the technology of this rune prosthetic limb gradually failed to keep up with the strength and was difficult to mass-produce, so everyone simply gave up on incorporating this technology into the manufacture of humanoids.

Unexpectedly, Strode continued to study and even produced some finished products.

"So you continued to study this rune prosthesis for a long time?" Sun Yang nodded to indicate that he knew.

"That's right. I, Strade, will bring the information and combine it with Andil's documents to further advance the research. Next, Master Sun Yang, I must thank you for giving me the opportunity." Strade said as he looked at Sun Yang, with a certain fanaticism in his eyes.

"Huh?" Sun Yang felt something was wrong. What does this have to do with me? Wait, could it be that he went out alone to do experiments?

"There are still too few life forms in Dolan Gureg. Confining ourselves to just one world naturally won't allow us to make any progress in our research. Master Sun Yang, I've also been to every world you've visited. I've cast soul magic on all those bizarre lives... and in the end, I've achieved some results."
