Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 861 - 277: What’s Wrong with a World of Illusions? (Losing It) (3)

[Oh oh oh!!! Can I really see this? I'm actually a girl? Reverse it! Reverse it! I damn well order you to reverse it! Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!]

At the dining table, his mother had already prepared breakfast, fragrant scrambled eggs and synthetic bacon, while his father complained about the economic downturn while watching the news projection.

Everything seemed normal, with even his body and mind telling Jackal that this was the life a young girl yearns for—how happy, how wonderful.

But the more it was like this, the more disconnected Jackal felt.

'I have my own parents thank you, don't randomly assign me a mom, I'm not breaking anything.'

Moreover, this kind of life... is just ordinary.

Though Jackal wasn't born into a wealthy family, at least he didn't worry about food and clothes, his parents treated him well, and he was quite diligent, winning several provincial computer awards.

Therefore, he couldn't really empathize with this girl named Yoshida and her life.

Even the gender was reversed.

But he could feel the delicate comfort of wearing women's stockings, which was quite peculiar.

He then saw more of Yoshida's life path.

Yoshida was attending a regular high school in Night City, had several good friends, average grades, and her favorite pastime was going to karaoke with friends, having no other hobbies.

An ordinary life, yet constantly sending signals dubbed as "happiness" to Jackal.

Just when he was pondering how to break the stalemate, a private chat interface suddenly popped up.

[Pandora: Hey, are you there?]

Eh!?

The player's chat channel was still usable?

Though it wasn't really surprising.

Even if he couldn't control this body, he could still reply in the channel.

[Jackal: not here]

[Pandora: (eagerly)]

Jackal felt a phantom pain in his abdomen and didn't dare to joke with Pandora anymore, hastily saying,

[Jackal: I'm done joking with you, boss, what's your situation over there? Here it feels like watching a movie from a first-person perspective]

They compared each other's situations and quickly realized they weren't watching the same person's "movie"

[Pandora: I think we might have been pulled into a running Mewtwo simulation; from the description, it sounds a lot like the market introduction for Mewtwo]

The Mewtwo used by players has always had big differences with the first-person Mewtwo purchased in the market; it never loads properly, and only the officially released Mewtwo can be used. But it's clearly disconnected with Sisi, so people often protest in the official forums, demanding the opening of 18+ MOD, only to be crushed by Lin Miao minutes later.

Just never expected to hit a watchable Mewtwo this time, although it's too dry and boring.

[Jackal: So boss, do you have any way to break the stalemate? I can't even bring up the console; all hacking techniques are sealed and now I'm stuck in this girl's body, although it's not bad]

[Pandora: I have some thoughts; I've communicated with Jackal, we shouldn't be in a subjective first-person view but have fallen into the consciousness of someone watching Mewtwo; the Mewtwo you're seeing is the image that person sees]

[Jackal: So that's it, no wonder you're the boss]

[Pandora: Theoretically, as long as you can wake up the consciousness of someone watching Mewtwo, the data flow can be restored]

[I'll send you a Demonic Puppet software over, use it to occupy the running memory of Mewtwo, if it's enough, it can overload Mewtwo, allowing the user to exit completely, and we can escape]

The Demonic Puppet Pandora sent was straightforwardly named, very much in her style

[Small and Beautiful]

Seeing the name, Jackal felt a little hard to hold back.

But the Demonic Puppet sent by the boss must not be questioned by someone like him; decisively cached it to his application space.

'The current issue is how to wake this guy up'

Though he said this, he still felt something odd mentally.

They clearly entered the Hellhound control system, having just a roaming AI was weird enough, how could they land into the consciousness of someone watching Mewtwo? Listening to Pandora, there seemed to be quite a number of people.

Totally bewildered.

After contemplating for a while, Jackal decided to let go of those meaningless questions and shifted his attention to Yoshida.

Concentrated effort, trying to manipulate the slight data flow to interfere with Yoshida's thoughts.

'Hey, can you hear me?' 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

A stranger's voice suddenly echoed in her mind, Yoshida Saki, who was just chatting with friends, got startled.

'Who? Who's talking?'

While the consciousness was questioning, the body didn't stop; she continued laughing and chatting with her friends while walking towards school.

Normally when disturbed while watching Mewtwo, one would pause everything, but Yoshida wasn't doing that, as if resisting something.

'I am an alien from M78 Nebula, you can call me Ultra Warrior.'

'???'

What the heck...

Yoshida was dumbfounded, she never heard of Ultra Warrior something M78, thinking she might be hallucinating.

Anyway, holding the notion of waking up the other person while not needing responsibility, the player certainly aimed for fun.

'Don't you know? Your world is about to be invaded by monsters.'

'Monsters? What's that?'

Yoshida thought she was hallucinating,

Crack...

Perhaps due to the confusion of the worldview, the rigorously locked logic cracked a minuscule fissure due to Yoshida's self-consciousness hesitation, allowing Jackal to seize a bit of data flow; he hurriedly downloaded the [Small and Beautiful] Pandora sent earlier.

"Ha?"

Seeing the function of the Demonic Puppet, Jackal was having a hard time not laughing.

This Demonic Puppet developed by Pandora can occupy storage space and running memory by continuously caching data, disguising itself as important files, requiring manual scanning and deletion, otherwise, the occupied space will grow until the hard drive is completely full.

What the heck does this have to do with Small and Beautiful!
