The absurd game of a performance artist

Chapter 161 Rebirth
In the row upon row of iron buildings in the NO.13 garbage area, there is a wonderful room.

This room looks like a pickpocket mingling in the crowd, huddling low-key in the cracks between the streets.

Some kind of unknown dye was used perfunctorily on the facade, and a white cross symbol on a red background was painted on the level of children's graffiti.

Walking into this unremarkable house, there is another beautiful scenery inside.

Several bone specimens of mixed prosthetic bodies were placed randomly, like a clothing store after a clearance sale.

All kinds of messy tools are placed on the walls, making the atmosphere of the room somewhere between a torture chamber and an auto repair shop.

The only thing that can prove that this is a clinic is the patient who should have been buried.

Under the guidance of S mechanical spider, V pulled out of this clinic from countless iron houses.

At this moment in the clinic, the attending doctor is sitting calmly on a chair.

Thirty-seven broken hair, small black-rimmed glasses, and a medium build of [-].

Paired with a crisp white coat, he looks like an elite in the medical field.

Seeing V's appearance, the other party suddenly smiled and cast a meaningful look.

Looking carefully, it seems that the direction of this gaze is not V who has lost his vital signs, but Tissel who is standing beside V.

【Um? 】

This homophobic look seemed to remind Tissel of something.

Could it be that this guy is...

[Social animals with same-sex orientation]? !

Feeling the meaningful look in the other party's eyes, V thought that the other party was waiting for some kind of membership sign.

So he raised his mechanical arm and showed the other party the mechanical spider in his hand.

"Someone invited me here, please treat me quickly, I don't have much time!"

Seemingly not paying attention to the special content that V showed, the doctor unhurriedly pointed to the birdcage chair in front of him and beckoned V to sit down, saying meaningfully.

"Time isn't how much you have, it's how you use it. Looks like you've lost some memories, forget? We met."

Hearing this, Tissel had a strange expression on his face.

She didn't expect that there was an affair between these two guys? !

Thinking back to what happened before he met Momo, V understood that it should be what happened before he lost his memory.

Although he really wanted to find out about his past, but looking at his other health that was about to go to zero, V said urgently.

"That's right, I lost some memory, but that's not important, I'll talk about the past later... Now please treat me immediately!"

Watching V's eyes carefully, the doctor said with a smile.

"Good eyes, it seems that you have taken a crucial step, but you should understand that your biological body is actually dead..."

Sure enough, I'm already dead...

Just when V's eyes suddenly dimmed, the doctor's eyes shifted to Tissel again.

"However...you still have a chance to be reborn! It depends on whether another soul in your body is willing..."

Seeing the doctor's actions, Tissel finally noticed something.

[V, give him a punch! 】

boom--

Although he was confused, V raised his hand towards the doctor and punched him!
With a look of surprise in his eyes, the doctor leaned back slightly in his chair, without even leaving his seat, and easily dodged V's quick punch that caught him off guard.

"I see, very interesting tacit understanding, it seems that you are ready..."

With a wave of his white coat, the doctor took out a scalpel with a cold light shining from nowhere.

"Then, come back to life..."

With a flash of the knife, V's eyes went blank and he lost consciousness.

……

hiss--

The cold air pierces the lungs, piercing the consciousness like a sharp sword.

Like a programmed machine, V opened his sleepy eyes, stood up, and stared at the grotesque city in front of him.

"This is... the city that never sleeps!"

For a split second, as if the memory engraved in DNA was touched, V's memory of the scene in front of him was still fresh, and he could understand where he was without thinking.

Suddenly, V thought of something crucial, and he glanced at his health.

[Life Point: 80%]

Seeing the abundant health, V heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, finally recovered..."

But V quickly came to his senses, and it seemed that something was not quite right.

He took a closer look at the health bar and found that he had only one health bar left!

Although for normal people, there is nothing wrong with this, but for V who is the Mechanic Soul Messenger, this is a big problem!

"What's going on! Where's Tissel's health? No... Tissel, where are you? Tissel, respond to me quickly!"

There was silence in the surrounding air, neither the holographic image in the red suit nor the information fluctuations in the brain.

Tissel disappeared.

His mind went blank, as if he had lost his ability to think.

Desperate, V sat on the cold ground, accepting the cruel facts.

Once again, he lost something vital.

After an unknown amount of time, a flash of red light in front of his eyes brought V back to his senses.

He looked in the direction of the red light, and saw a red stone ring appearing on his middle finger at some point.

Looking carefully, there is an information panel on the ring.

[Name: Crimson Link]

【Type: Relic·Accessories】

[Quality: Green]

[Introduction: The redstone ring with the magical power of life will have a special symbiotic relationship with the wearer]

[Special effect: When the wearer's health is higher than 80%, slowly absorb the wearer's health, and when the wearer's health is lower than 80%, slowly recover the wearer's health]

"Strange... Where did this ring come from? Why is it on my finger?"

What's even weirder is that V felt a familiar wave on this ring.

It's Tissel's fluctuations!
Somehow, V can feel that it is this ring that links his life with Tissel's.

Clenching his fists, the mecha attached to his body made a powerful golden sound.

Exactly like his own body, the mecha on V's body can already do whatever he wants.

The gap between the mecha and V completely disappeared with Tissel.

Feeling carefully, V was even more surprised to find that he could suddenly see his own abilities.

【ability】

[Fist: 29]

【Mechanical Thought: 18】

【Social: 8】

And in his status bar, in addition to the original [Level [-] Biological Enhancing] upgraded to [Third-Level Biological Enhancing], there is also an additional item [Machine Soul Envoy].

[Characteristics Mechanic Soul Messenger: truly awakens the soul of the mecha, becomes one with the mecha, and has the ability to break through the constraints of the synchronization rate [Mechanical Mind]]

[Mechanical thoughts: the special ability of the machine soul messenger, which can transmit its own thoughts to mechanical creations, so that the mechanical creations can be intimate with themselves and exert incredible power]

At this moment, V finally understands that Tissel has not left, but has combined with himself in a more thorough way!
The blood bars didn't disappear, but merged completely, together with the lives of the two!
"Me and Tissel... merged together?!"

Although I don't know what method the doctor used, but it is the truth.

Although Tissel's consciousness disappeared, V could feel that she was in his mech at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, V experienced what it was like to be motivated, to be truly alive.

Now I am finally complete.

Are you reborn...

Looking at the dazzling fluorescent screens in the buildings, the promise that will never fade comes to mind.

"MB Contest! Now it's time to realize the meaning of existence, the champion... I will definitely become the champion! And that guy... I will never let it go!"
