Abyssal Wanderer.

After leaving the room where pimps, samurai, retainers and bunny girls existed at the same time, there were no more thrilling events in the process of escaping from the Thrace Club.

The all-terrain motorcycle carrying the two people jumped out of the broken gate of the club and landed heavily on the asphalt road outside the gate - the shock absorption of this motorcycle was quite good, and the two people weighed half a ton and fell from the five-foot-high steps, but in the end they only felt some slight bumps.

After rushing onto the road, the guy wearing a black hood pressed the brakes and twisted the front of the motorcycle to drift. The wide wheels produced a series of rubber-smelling sparks under the colorful neon lights, and the motorcycle stopped steadily on the side of the road, flush with the club's gate.

At this moment, the horns of vehicles around were honking one after another, but the neon harp-shaped billboard of the Thrace Club was still on.

The owner of the motorcycle gave the billboard the middle finger.

"I'll kill you sooner or later!"

After saying that, without waiting for the guys she claimed to kill to come out and stage a car chase scene, the girl stepped on the accelerator and quickly shuttled through the narrow gaps between the cars, merging into the busy night scene.

It was just another ordinary night in the Nord resettlement area.

…………

About an hour later, Jim was taken by the man to what she called a safe house - the basement of the community near the fifth-floor resource recycling center of the resettlement area.

"There is no official surveillance around here, and there are all kinds of gangs and forces mixed together, it's very chaotic. Even if the Lin Yuan family sent people here, without a local to lead the way, they would be trapped and shot."

The girl explained this after locking the motorcycle in the garage.

Jim nodded.

Although this was his first time here, he had been to similar places on other levels in the past when handling cases.

Because there are a large number of recycling factories nearby, the waste heat generated can be used for heating in winter, and the entire first floor of domestic waste will eventually be collected here for recycling. Places like this often spontaneously form slums, and eventually evolve into a chaotic and lawless place.

Of course, the so-called "chaos" is only relative to outsiders. People living here have their own set of order.

Jim was about to ask something, but before he could open his mouth, a piercing pain came from his shoulder - that was the wound left by the Hayashihara family samurai.

Seeing this, the girl quickly jumped off the chair and began to rummage through the drawers.

"Wait a minute, I remember putting it here before..."

As she spoke, she buried her head in a large dusty box and searched.

Jim just watched her pull out an old router, a broken memory stick, a headset with one side missing, flattened compressed biscuits, an empty energy drink can, a series of old bells, and only one stocking left from the box...Finally, she pulled out a silver-white metal tube with the "Apollo Biotechnology" logo printed on it from the bottom of the box.

"found it."

The girl said with a little excitement.

As she spoke, she walked over to Jim and unscrewed the cap on the top of the metal tube.

"Don't worry... this thing has been expired for less than half a year, so it should still have some of its effects."

Having said something that was totally unreassuring, she pinched out something even more unreassuring.

Is that a wet, wriggling...silver centipede?
"This one's called 'seam claws'."

Seeing Jim looking troubled, she explained.

"A semi-mechanical wound treatment device based on a genetically modified centipede. Its 'feet' can penetrate the muscle to suture the wound, and continuously release factors that relieve pain, coagulate blood, kill bacteria, and heal itself... In short, it's very convenient."

Looking at Jim's still wary expression, she continued to explain:
"Of course, this thing is for emergency use on the battlefield, and its effect is definitely not as good as that of a regular hospital. But if you go to the hospital now, the risk is still too great, so use this for now."

Jim naturally understood this point - as long as he was not rich enough to live in the platinum VIP ward protected by a tactical team, it was common for him to be blocked in the hospital and seek revenge after offending those powerful forces. So he finally nodded, and the girl neatly cut open the clothes at the wound and placed the squirming silver centipede on his shoulder.

In an instant, the centipede seemed to smell blood and quickly crawled to the wound on his shoulder. After adjusting its position several times, it stopped in a shape that best fit the shape of the wound, and then stabbed its sharp thorns into the flesh around the wound, sealing the wound.

"It will maintain a symbiotic relationship with you until the wound is completely healed... Of course, because you have injured your bones, and this 'sewing claw' has expired for half a year, the speed of self-healing will probably be a bit slow..."

At the end of her words, the girl's voice became noticeably quieter. Then, she clapped her hands abruptly as if to cover up her embarrassment, and suddenly raised her voice and said:
"In short! Now you are curious about who I am and why I risked my life to save you, but I cannot tell you my identity at the moment..."

"Ji Mu, the shrine maiden of the Shintenrikyo, right?"

In response, Jim, who had already confirmed the other party's identity, said directly. After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh about this magical night:

After being killed by a gangster lady, the private detective was resurrected by a cyber saint using the Janus system and remotely connected to form a whole. Then, he was besieged by a group of samurai in a brothel, and was finally rescued by a shrine maiden from the family samurai and the zombie bunny girl...

No wonder people always say that you shouldn’t be crazy no matter what happens in this era.

"Eh?!"

On the other hand, the moment Ji Mu heard his name being called out, he was like a frightened black cat, his eyes widened, and he was about to jump up with his fur standing on end.

And her self-introduction, which had been brewing for a long time and was both stylish and mysterious, was naturally swallowed up.

"You, you, you...how did you..."

She subconsciously took two steps back, then pointed at Jim and stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Jim just shrugged.

"When I was first stopped by the Thrace Club security, they suspected that I was hired by Ji Mu. In other words, a lady named Ji Mu had caused trouble for them before me. And your previous attitude towards the club and your style of driving a motorcycle into the club are very likely to match the 'crazy woman' they are talking about."

He said so.

"Then how did you know I was a Shintenrikyo shrine maiden?"

Perhaps he felt that there was no need to continue playing it mysterious since his identity had been revealed, so Ji Mu simply shook off the hooded cloak that was draped over his body, and then took off his mask.

The girl in front of him, whose name sounded a bit like his own, looked a little more mature than her actual age. In Jiang Zhou's database, she was only sixteen years old, but now she looked like an adult - no wonder the people in the Thrace Club called her a crazy woman. If nothing else, her outfit alone was too unique.

A black bodysuit that outlines her slender and gentle curves, a white off-shoulder wide-sleeved jacket fastened at the elbows with nylon straps, a pleated long skirt with maple leaf patterns, black thick-soled knight boots, and a butterfly-shaped drone that lies on the shoulder straps and flaps its wings as if breathing - this outfit, which is a mixture of multiple styles, is unexpectedly harmonious, making the two impressions of witch and hacker, which should have no connection at all, perfectly blend on her.

Looking at the cat headphones hanging around the other person's neck, and the white highlights on his temples and bangs, Jiang Zhou, who was far away in Tartarus, couldn't help but sigh at this moment -

Well, this girl almost became a part of herself.

It’s hard to imagine…

Ji Mu is one of the controllable factors that the Janus program can choose in the Nord resettlement area, and she is also her alternative option besides Jim. It was through this information that Jim was able to box out her personal information.

Come to think of it, if he died in the Thrace Club, he would most likely choose Ji Mu, who was closest to that place, as the next controllable factor.

Thinking of this, Jim couldn't help but sigh:

"You're lucky... You almost followed in my footsteps before."

"Huh?" (End of chapter)
