Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 833 - 269: I’m the Official One for Generations! (Part 2)

"Fuck!"

Lin Miao felt as if the world was spinning, flesh and steel collided mercilessly, the impact powerful enough to cripple anyone hit him, yet only brought him choking pain.

Even so, he didn't let go of Benjamin's right hand, continuing to wring it with great force, with an air of determination to break his hand or die trying, and even went further by locking Benjamin's throat with his legs trying to suffocate him.

Benjamin wasn't polite with Lin Miao either, smashing around with his body, thumb-thick steel handrails were broken by the force, alloy floors were deformed and cracked, the whole building shook like an earthquake, the already severely corroded steel structure teetered even more.

In the end, countless steel beams were broken, the whole factory building couldn't hold on anymore, starting from the third floor it collapsed with a roar, steel beams bent and broke, sheets of iron torn and fell, dust rose tens of meters high with both of them buried under countless steel debris.

"Damn... cough cough..."

Lin Miao pushed away the steel plate pressing on him, pain piercing throughout his body, even his thigh was impaled by a steel bar, but fortunately, Lin Miao's physique was strong, no vital organs were harmed.

After jerking the steel bar out, he casually grabbed some medicine from the system, bandaged up to stop the bleeding, struggling to walk out of the ruins.

In the midst of the swirling dust, the other party stood up before him, but was more heavily injured.

A foot-long tear in the abdomen, intestines exposed.

"You know what?"

Benjamin slowly stuffed his intestines back into his stomach, the wound's flesh writhing, constantly proliferating connective tissue to stop the bleeding and heal.

"When I first opened my eyes to look at this world, I thought... what an amazing world."

His blood-red eyes stepped on the ruins, walking towards Lin Miao step by step.

"They often stood outside the petri dish saying... it was God who created mankind."

"God created mankind in his own image, and mankind... created me in their own image… they are my gods..."

"I worshiped them as if they were divine, whatever they asked me to do, I did, striving to do my best, but in their eyes there was always disappointment, as if..."

"As if I were an unwanted defective product."

"I never understood why, why even when I did all this they were still not satisfied, they'd rather invest in those cybernetic bodies, making themselves neither human nor ghost, than focus their gaze on me!"

Benjamin saw the wound on Lin Miao's thigh, the oozing blood, and the bruises on the skin surface.

Though fitted with a neural interface and cyber eyes, undeniably Lin Miao's body remained flesh.

"What..."

His pupils quivering, tone complex.

"But now I understand... they didn't want me... but you! You are what they truly desire!"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Miao's heart trembled, the information the other revealed was way beyond his expectations.

At this moment Benjamin didn't care how crucial the information he divulged was, he forcefully corrected the dislocated bones in his right hand, panting as he said,

"I was a premature birth, technique incomplete, the biotechnology project lead Dr. Francis Yang went missing with his cloning data files, destined to have a short life from birth, physical qualities unable to grow further, in their eyes I'm just an unreplicable failed product..."

Benjamin swatted away a girder blocking in front of him.

"But I don't care!"

He swung his fist, smashing towards Lin Miao again and again, strength fierce and heavy, as if his injuries were all fake, even though wounds ruptured and blood spurted, he didn't stop.

"I hate those things that stole God's gaze!"

"I hate those things defying the laws of biological inheritance and evolution!"

"I hate them! Why did they create me when clearly not needed, then still ignore me!"

"They fear like hunters fearing me!"

Boom!

A fist landed hard on Lin Miao's chest, sending him flying tens of meters, crashing through several steel beams.

"Damn!"

Lin Miao could clearly feel his ribs fractured, even see which ones via the system interface, he clutched his chest enduring the sharp pain, getting back up from the ruins.

"So you were abandoned by your parents, coming to me for comfort? Want me to go to the street and buy a couple of lollipops, to cheer you up, it doesn't hurt?"

"Baby, put away your self-pity, if you've got what it takes, you should turn back to trouble your creators, not stir up trouble for me in Night City."

"..."

Benjamin felt he had revealed enough, but Lin Miao remained unmoved, his attitude somewhat inscrutable.

"Now tell me what else you know, and I can listen to you complain all day, how's that?"

Lin Miao was already provoked, he didn't want to waste time here, this guy's attempts to stall were just too clumsy.

"Hehe... I... cough cough..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Benjamin suddenly vomited blood, stood panting for a few breaths then continued slowly.

"Soviet Petrochemical told me to collaborate with the Cubans to kill you, I originally wanted to see how capable you were, daring to sneak around playing this in Night City, in the end, didn't expect to make a surprising discovery, I really, really want to taste... what your flesh tastes like."
