My cyberpsychosis is a task prompt

Chapter 187: Response Failure

The side effects of Black Light's rampage nearly killed John.

"Huh, huh-"

He was breathing heavily.

Gray-black mud flowed through the corners of my eyes.

There were faint burnt yellow lines on both sides of the pupil of the artificial eye.

"hiss--"

A strong sense of dizziness hit John's head.

He arched his back and saw double images on the water-logged floor. His brain seemed to be boiling and exploding.

The closed-circuit surveillance cameras at the Borago Club have been hacked.

John made sure no one could see and took out a special suppressant from the inside of his shirt to prevent accidents.

Puff, snap.

The chip reading sound was heard.

The relief from the side effects was short-lived.

John felt an unfamiliar sense of weakness, his body lost control, and there was a slight tingling pain between his bones.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a few seconds.

John didn't dare delay.

He switched to the nearest closed-circuit camera.

The soldiers outside the door were a little fearful, pointing their guns at the cold storage, trying to contact the network team, while others were calling for reinforcements, reporting the situation, or using tactical gestures to prepare for a forced breakthrough.

John's eyes flashed with data streams.

Messiah's prosthetic eye started scanning, and the camera extended a red data stream, marking out the Krypton Heavy Industries soldiers who had intruded nearby.

The smoke from the grenades and gun battles has been suppressed by fire sprinklers.

The kryptonian soldiers held up their weapons to prevent the people inside from coming out, and the accumulated water dripped from their muscles and the corners of their suits.

Suddenly, a flash of orange cut through the air and exploded into a deep red blood mist!
Bang, bang——

John pulled the trigger.

A security guard outside the door raised his head, his sunglasses were broken by a bullet, and sparks were produced by the burning bullet on the edge of the gun barrel.

The gunfire became regular and continuous.

[Weapon: Nova [Kinetic Energy Rifle]]

[Module: Advanced penetration, burning ammunition]

John stood behind the metal bar, holding a rifle, his prosthetic eye flashing, and pulled the trigger again and again at the tattered wall in front of him.

The red outlines in his eyes fell one after another.

The intelligence advantage has been reversed.

Blacklight kicked out the hackers of Zeke Heavy Industries, remote scanning was disabled, and closed-circuit cameras have become John's eyes.

The Jingke security guard cursed and tried to resist.

Gollum-

Two stun grenades were thrown out of the room and rolled into the center of the reception area.

This is what John found on the body blocking the door.

He also wanted to let these guys feel the sensation of skull vibration.

The Jingkr security guard shouted angrily to remind his teammates.

However, some people were knocked unconscious by the powerful shock before they could dodge, and temporarily lost their vision and hearing.

John flashed out of the room.

The sprayed water droplets crash onto the skin surface.

Siang Westin left a continuous afterimage in the time-stop filter.

John dodged the flying gunfire and raised the Speedrunner submachine gun with both hands. The light blue smart bullets slightly adjusted their direction in the air and landed on the stunned security guards, turning into flying blood plasma.

He landed and rolled forward.

A string of bullets immediately pierced through the fragile partition, leaving wall dust and building debris where he had just stopped.

John loosened his hands and let the submachine gun slide toward the inside of the bunker.

He stood up, rolled over the sofa and green plants, and saw the elite soldiers hiding inside.

These strong men were wearing tactical helmets and were not affected by the stun grenades.

John pulled out the broken smart revolver in the air, put it against the bulletproof glass visor and quickly pulled the trigger.

The bullet caliber of the smart revolver is very thick.

The pollutants inside mixed with the fuel and exploded at close range.

The touch was like setting off a blue firework against the mask. It did not completely break the defense, but it affected the internal program of the helmet.

The sturdy man screamed and swung his weapons backwards, his vision going black.

John fell to the ground and tackled him, both to avoid the bullets from behind and to ram the hot revolver into the man's neck.

boom--

The burnt and smelly blood plasma spurted out!

The smart revolver that Guzha gave was also completely scrapped.

Its magazine was cut open by "Kawa"'s samurai sword, and the close-range explosion just now caused the lock and magnetic accessories to break.

"here!"

"Kill him!"

The last two soldiers in the room fired wildly at the sofa, causing the leather to explode and sparks from hidden light strips to ignite debris in the air.

sieve--

John pushed his legs close to the ground and slid out from the side of the sofa.

[Weapon: Faki-Silence]

[Module: Level III Silencer, Advanced Penetration]

The soldier's exclamation was caught in his throat.

The bullets passed through their foreheads and necks.

The ripple grenade slipped from the corpse's hand, bounced back after touching the floor, and a huge wave made the falling blood smear on the chandelier.

The scene finally became quiet.

The light luxury style reception room was in a mess.

The pressure of the sprinkler pipe gradually decreased, and the accumulated water mixed into complex colors between the overturned furniture and corpses, slowly flowing across the black and gold floor...

John suddenly fell to his knees and began to dry heave.

The "limit" that the doctor mentioned is becoming more and more obvious.

The abnormal state quickly dissipated, and the throbbing meridians calmed down.

John vaguely touched the edge of death.

If he wants to survive, he has to figure out the secret of body swapping. The current clue is to find Mr. Vito to obtain information about the seller of the weapons, and to "visit" Bone Shatters to ask where the original body is.

[Mission target update]

[Talk to Vito Russell. (Not reached)]

Things happen step by step.

John carried Angelica to the corridor outside the reception area, but the heavy siege he had imagined did not occur.

The fight scared away other customers.

The elite krypton soldiers and the Black Gold Gang members were nowhere to be seen.

The upper floors were in great chaos, with wealthy businessmen and dignitaries and a large number of security forces gathered in the banquet hall. We had no choice but to go downstairs.

John continued to try to contact Olos.

There was no response in the team channel.

Rumbling--

John heard a loud noise in the dim corridor.

The whole building was shaking, cracks appeared on the windows, and a strong burnt smell was seeping up through the gaps in the stairs.

The sound of gunfire and chaos gradually became clear.

John hid Angelica in the corner of the floor and switched to the surveillance view to find the source of the explosion.

A group of Owltown gang members broke into the Borago Club in an armored vehicle.

The battle began farther away than expected.

John looked out through the broken glass:

Red and blue flashing lights and news drones hovered around the building, there was smoke and gunfire at the edge of the West Side, and sirens and a tense atmosphere filled the city.

The Owl Town Gang crossed the area blockade and rushed straight to the club.

They broke into the building and killed any soldiers from the Black Gold Gang and Precision Industries they saw along the way. Public figures who criticized the Japanese in the news media would also be killed on the spot if they were recognized.

"Are these Japanese people crazy?"

Even if John was not smart enough, he could not understand their behavior.

Is this going to break up with the rich businessman Quan? Even if the new boss is tough, it won't lead to a full-scale confrontation between the bigwigs in Eden City.

This group of Owl Town Gang members are equipped with extremely lethal prosthetic bodies.

They don't seem to have much rationality, their methods are cruel, and they seem to be on the verge of cyberpsychosis and may lose control at any time. If they are going to attack head-on, why do they send assassins?

The Faqi Group even sent out "Chuan".

The best effect would definitely be to have Vito Russell and the top executives of Eskom die in a heavily guarded office somewhere, have someone accidentally discover it, and use the power of the on-site media to spread the news, thereby deterring competitors.

This high-profile self-exposure is obviously contradictory.

But regardless, the gang war has resumed.

The road downstairs became increasingly dangerous.

The madman from the Xiaomiao Gang is fighting upwards, and the elevator has stopped working, so they can only go up floor by floor to find their target.

They were aggressive and there were at least a hundred of them.

It is equivalent to the strength of half a block group of the Owl Town Gang.

John carried Angelica back to the banquet hall and hid in the utility room in the corridor, observing the situation outside with the help of a camera.

Some guests attending the retirement party have been injured.

For premium members who have purchased the emergency team package, when they are injured, the remote first aid protocol will be triggered, and professional medical personnel and combat teams will arrive at the scene of the accident within the specified time to take them away.

The emergency team's hovercraft was parked outside the open-air terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Holographic projections with warning words divided the limited landing space like stamps.

The big shots in Eden City have already evacuated.

John didn't find Kuang Xin and Oulouse through the camera.

The injured dignitaries kept leaving in hovercrafts, and live news vehicles and police drones were already circling outside the high-rise building.

There were footsteps in the corridor.

John immediately switched the camera.

An emergency response team member approached with a gun.

The quality of rescue received will vary depending on the membership package, and advanced hovercrafts may even come with emergency organs and onboard biological scanners that can clearly see the distribution of personnel on an entire floor.

John had never dealt with the [Emergency Response Team], and his knowledge of the services for the rich was limited to the flyers distributed to members.

It is said that if a customer's chip is triggered, there will be very high compensation if they arrive at the scene late or the rescue fails.

John should be identified as a "rescue interference factor".

He held up a silenced pistol through the thin door.

Through the camera you can see:

Members of the emergency team wore helmets, leather uniforms, and bulletproof vests with VIP and red cross logos.

He held his gun high and lowered his footsteps to the door of the utility room.

【Hello, newcomer! 】

His companions rushed over and called out to him.

[The customer has been received. He is only slightly injured. We should leave now.]

He did not leave immediately, and even tilted his head to indicate that there was someone inside the door.

My companion shook his head silently, his expression very serious, and deliberately scolded loudly in a voice that could penetrate the door panel.

[This is just work, don't interfere in the fight and don't cause unnecessary trouble! ]

After saying that, they put away their guns and left.

Hovercrafts were constantly taking off and landing near the open-air garden.

John also breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to check on Angelica.

She showed no signs of waking up.

Gino also received a black light "cleansing treatment". Ryan's conclusion at the time was that the prosthetic malfunction and physical damage were very serious and required professional surgery and rehabilitation treatment.

Seiko Heavy Industries probably doesn't have the energy to hunt down Angelica.

A large number of troops gathered on the banquet floor.

John switched the camera and fumbled to find a compartment. He walked through the narrow utility elevator, removed the cover, and climbed up the inspection ladder in the elevator shaft to the upper floor.

There are also obvious signs of fighting here.

John had a black light, and the combination lock on the internal gate was useless, so he walked directly into the elevator leading to the conference floor.

There was a lingering smell of blood in the car.

John didn't need to scan to see the bullet holes, and when the sliding door opened, there wasn't even a decent light in the luxurious hallway.

Countless corpses of Kryptonian soldiers lay on the silent carpet.

The smell in the air is very complex, and my feet feel sticky after taking a few steps.

All the furniture was overturned.

The office sliding door was blown open.

The room was littered with company dogs hacked to death with samurai swords.

John supported Angelica as they walked through the extremely tragic corridor and saw a half-open conference room at the end.

[Hacking detected, warning...]

His vision suddenly became blurry, and data streams appeared in his field of vision. The surrounding walls and carpets were cut into dark green data grids.

John wanted to use black light to remove the hack, but found that this was not a conventional method.

【Anti-Program BlACK ICE[Warning]】

The BlackIce plug-in for network monitoring seems to be a little different.

This area is completely blocked by the demonic program, and blacklight and high-intelligence equipment cannot be used normally without defense.

There was no way to stop the black light.

Unless you can find the device sending point and make a physical connection.

Click.

John was suddenly pinned down by a strange force, with a black gun barrel pressed against his head.

Angelica also fell to the ground.

Two security robots from Precision Industries appeared beside him. There was no sound at all during their approach, and their silent effect was comparable to that of the "Chuan". They were also equipped with some special shielding devices.

[Equipment: Jingkrypton Blue Shield Defense Robot [V Generation]]

The oppression they brought to John was no less than that of "Chuan".

Precision Heavy Industries is also a giant multinational corporation. In terms of capital and foundation, it is definitely able to compete with the Faqi Group.

Of course they also have secret cards and targeted equipment.

John wants to activate Sianwestin.

The machine grabbed Angelica's hair and pressed the curved knife against her fair neck. The slightest struggle would cut her skin, and there was no guarantee of a rescue even if time was stopped.

"Fake Squid!"

John was forced to be suppressed again.

They were led into the only meeting room with the door open.

John could clearly feel that the power of the blockaded area was getting stronger.

The room was somewhat dim, there was no table, and there were incomprehensible holographic images on the walls and in the middle area.

There were several chairs around that were slowly sinking into the ground.

It seems that a remote online meeting has just taken place here.

"Oh, finally some good news. Where did you come from, you little thief... Never mind, it's meaningless. I should thank you for bringing her back, saving me the time to look for her slowly."

The only chair in the room that had not sunken was occupied by a senior executive of Jingkr.

He was wearing a high-end suit and had a well-proportioned body. His age was totally invisible and his muscles were so perfect that he looked like a male model in a street style commercial.

These big shots who live in the clouds usually have strict physical management.

John also noticed the sizzling remains piled up in the corner of the room.

All the "Chuan" that attacked here were dealt with.

He was being suppressed and could die at any time, but his mind calmed down instead - the blockade procedure arranged in the room should be aimed at "Chuan", and the restriction on the use of black light should be just a coincidence.

A tall figure walked out of the shadows.

Mr. Vito stood in front of Angelica, expressionless, squatting down and turning over her eyelids and profile, as if checking something.

Jingke executives smiled.

"I will send Ariani to Europe to stay with her brother until you are willing to seriously consider the board's opinion..."

Mr. Vito seemed not to hear.

He silently squatted down beside John and asked in a low voice.

"Is she all right?"

That expression is very intriguing.

John suddenly reacted after a brief moment of shock.

"Well, the lockdown procedures have been lifted."

Mr. Vito smiled after hearing this, touched his graying temples, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed as he breathed in relief.

He suddenly pulled the silenced pistol from John.
