Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 104 Will Win ×2 (7.6k big chapter)

(BGM of this chapter: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 "From the New World", IV. Allegro con fuoco)

The injury is very serious.

Blood gushed out from the wound caused by the high-frequency blade. After his legs were pierced by the high-strength alloy, he even had a problem with his center of gravity. There were also one or two gunshot wounds on his back that had not yet healed.

As long as Marina lowered her head, she could see the white bones exposed in the wounds.

There are also muscles and some internal organs that rise and fall slightly with breathing, which looks very scary.

The moment the intense fighting stopped, Marina couldn't help but say in her heart, "It hurts so much."

She was in so much pain that she almost burst into tears on the spot, and went to Yuan Qingzhuo to cry.

No wonder Lao Lang told me to change players.

Marina carefully looked at the long and narrow wound for a while - an ordinary person would have fainted on the ground due to excessive blood loss by now, and would soon die from excessive bleeding.

However, he seemed unable to die - the bleeding rate had slowed down. It was still flowing out just now, but now the bleeding had almost stopped.

Moreover, the skin and muscles at the wound showed signs of slow movement, and it would probably recover completely soon.

This recovery ability is really strong.

Marina sighed, then turned her attention to the several Shadow Guards who were still wandering quickly in the factory.

She thought these guys were probably still observing their situation, or calling for support.

If they found out that I was not in a very good condition, they would probably rush over me like a pack of wolves and eat me up.

But it's better this way.

Marina thought.

Otherwise, they would have escaped... If they all fled in different directions, I really wouldn't be able to kill them all.

——The "Straight Line Slash" move that Yuan Qingzhuo had taught her before was to regard all the fleeing people as a straight line, and then imagine that her hands were infinitely long.

Marina can use this trick, but she hasn't had time to master it. It might be effective on ordinary people, but it still lacks the proficiency when used against the Shadow Guards.

"So pretend to be weak first and attract them all."

Marina sat on the ground, chewing the iron taste in her mouth.

ten minutes later.

"The heavy rain is still falling... It's so noisy, and there are thunders every day, as if they are afraid that they don't know you are there. BYD's presence is quite strong."

Marina limped to the door of the iron smelting plant, spat blood on the ground, coughed twice, and squinted her eyes.

In the thick rain, the red and blue neon lights that were emitting light in all directions were blurred, leaving only sporadic large spots of light flashing.

The sound of the horn was interspersed with the sound of rain, as if it was very close at hand, but when you listened carefully it seemed out of reach.

Marina sighed a little bit.

——In this kind of vague and ambiguous weather, it would be nice if I could stay with Xiao Yuan in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window on the high floor, watching the heavy rain and traffic outside while curled up in the warm bed.

Let the heavy rain continue for three days and three nights as if it would submerge the entire City of the Sun, and she and Xiao Yuan watched it all, from morning to night, and then from night to morning, sleeping when they were tired and asking Millie to cook and bring it in when they were hungry.

Marina couldn't even imagine how comfortable that would be.

These are a bunch of ignorant bastards.

——Behind her, there was blood all over the ground, pale bones, scattered artificial bodies and several corpses that did not resemble human beings.

The group of Shadow Burial Guards who were attracted by her showing weakness were all killed.

In this world shrouded in mist, the only thing that can be seen clearly is the [LN-hifi store] across the empty road, which is still open but deserted.

Because it uses pure white LED headlight signs, people can see them very clearly even in such a heavy rain.

Marina grasped the katana that had nearly cut her in two not long ago, and put the hand cannon produced by Gospel Technology into her pocket.

——Perhaps the real strength of Arakawa Raizo is much stronger than what he showed to him. As long as he showed all his trump cards from the beginning, he might not even be able to get close to him, and he might even flee in panic...

But it's okay.

Anyway, I win now.

This is a fact.

She suddenly said to the old wolf who was standing beside her, staring at the sky without saying a word,
"I feel like listening to some music, Old Wolf."

Old Wolf snorted, stretched out his hand to catch some rainwater, and then helped Marina clean her blood-stained face: "You have so many ideas. Why didn't I see you have so many wonderful ideas before?"

She pointed out a clear path for Marina: "In my opinion, the most important thing you should do now is to bandage the wound, take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and have a good sleep."

"——And then Arakawa Pharmaceuticals came to kill them at their doorstep?"

Marina asked back.

Lao Lang rolled his eyes and said, "You are a network diode, right? I asked you to bandage your wound, but you said Arakawa Pharmaceutical would come knocking on your door. I didn't ask you to be a coward. This is totally illogical."

"If you ask me, it's true."

Marina leaned against the thick iron wall, pointed at the new wounds on her thighs and abdomen, and said dazedly, "There's too much blood, I can't even speak clearly... That's why I said why don't we play some songs."

"You know, I don't really need to use my brain when I fight. I just follow my feelings."

After saying that, Marina raised her fists in front of her chest and began to sway and twist her body left and right.

Old Wolf couldn't help but cover his mouth: "Shen Jin, you made me laugh."

Then Lao Lang asked again: "What do you want to listen to? Heavy metal? Postmodern? Or electronic music... Don't tell me it's the second dimension."

Marina took a half step back, showing a disgusted expression: "Don't get involved with the second dimension."

But then, she pointed at herself and laughed.
"It's reversed. I am the second dimension."

Lao Lang was speechless: "Marina you..."

"Forget it, let's talk about what we want to hear."

She followed Marina out of the bloody iron smelting factory and walked into the heavy rain.

With no pursuers behind her, Marina walked very slowly for the few hundred meters. She even waited for a red light before crossing the road on the zebra crossing that was already in a mess.

The moment she stepped into the store with rain-soaked footsteps, a dry, mechanical female voice echoed in the small shop.

"Welcome to Linlinlin..."

As if it was stuck, the small speaker above the store entrance kept repeating the word "Lin" until the boss, who was playing mobile games, slapped it shut.

Marina scratched her chin and said, "In what era are people still using such an ancient gadget?"

The boss glanced at her, then returned to his chair and muttered:

"It's rare. There are still people coming here during a heavy rainstorm... You can pick whatever you want. The price is on the label. If you don't want to take the knife, I will kill you if you dare to take the Dragon Slaying Knife."

Hearing this, Marina took two steps back in fear: "Damn it, old man, please don't mess around."

The boss didn't reply to her, but just lowered his head as if searching for something.

"Marina, what can I buy to listen to music in the rain?"

Old Wolf walked around the store casually, looking here and touching there.

"Boss, which headphones have good noise reduction, can be used to listen to music in heavy rain, and are not easy to break?"

Marina asked directly.

Hearing this, the boss stood up and pointed to the exquisite gift box in the middle of the store: "That must be this! Frosted metal shell, IP68 waterproof, although it uses a protocol from more than ten years ago, the flat unit..."

Marina looked at the six-digit number on the label.

"Too expensive, next one."

"never mind."

Marina raised her hand to scratch her wet hair, picked up an MP3 player and wireless headphones worth a few dozen yuan and placed them on the counter: "These two will do."

——It’s a disposable item anyway, so why should I choose?

Without waiting for her boss to reply, Marina transferred the money directly, then put the MP3 player in her pocket and put the wireless headphones in her ears.

But just as Marina was about to step out of the store, the noise reduction function of her cheap wireless headphones failed to prevent the boss from shouting: "Miss! Seeing that your injury is so serious, I'll give you some painkillers first!"

"——We need to go to the hospital immediately!"

A small plastic plate fell into Marina's hands. She turned over the plate containing eight pills and clearly saw the manufacturer behind it.

——[Arakawa Pharmaceutical reminds you: The shelf life of this drug is two years. Please take it within the shelf life. The best dose for a single dose is 1.5 mg...]

She smiled, reached out and tore off the tin foil of all eight pills, then poured them into her mouth like candy beans, using the sour and astringent rain water as medicine.

Marina chewed it twice and swallowed it all: "Why is it tasteless..."

"Who would take medicine like you and not be afraid of dying from it?"

"I can't eat these few pills to death."

Marina smacked her lips, walked over to a city planning map covered with colorful graffiti, and looked at it leisurely.

Oh, here I am...

I'll look for it.

Arakawa Pharmaceutical is here...

Wow, that’s quite far.

"I bought an MP3 player. Tell me what songs you are listening to."

The old wolf put his arm around Marina's neck and looked at the little gadget in her hand.

"Um, um...what's it called?"

Marina's fingers flipped through the pages, searching through the layers of graded pages, and finally clicked on the page full of ancient style.

Lao Lang was shocked: "Marina, you can appreciate classical music???"

"Appreciate the Bull Demon."

Marina turned on the music she wanted to listen to, closed her eyes and began to shake her head in the heavy rain. From a distance, she looked like she had grown up.

"Isn't it OK?"

The melody of "From the New World" slowly flowed out from the low-quality wireless headphones. Marina used her fingers to estimate the distance from here to Arakawa Pharmaceutical.

"Woo wow, that's far away."

Marina immediately ordered a Didi taxi on her mobile phone, and within two minutes a black car rushed out from the rain.

Marina opened the car door and Laolang followed closely behind.

"Contact number XXXX?"

"Ah."

Marina responded softly.

She originally wanted to take a nap leaning against the back seat of the car, but she didn't expect that the driver turned out to be a kind and talkative middle-aged man.

"Little girl, why are you out alone in such heavy rain without an umbrella?"

"Are you mad at your boyfriend? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"The destination is Arakawa Pharmaceutical. Girl, you're already a doctor at such a young age. That's amazing. You have a bright future ahead of you!"

"Huh? That's not right. I remember Arakawa hasn't been hiring much in the past two years."

"Are you going there to test drugs, little girl? That won't do! Listen to me, little girl, you are still so young, you can't bury the rest of your life without money!"

Seeing that Marina hadn’t replied and even started snoring, the driver became even more anxious: “Little girl, if you don’t say anything, I’m not going to Arakawa Pharmaceutical!”

Marina was too lazy to talk, because once the driver accepted the order and picked up the passenger, if he did not go to the order location, he would be fined more than a hundred times.

She wants to rest for a while.

But the driver suddenly became confused:
"Eh? What song are you listening to, little girl... Dvorak's A New World?"

"What a shady business! The headphones they sell leak sound?! How dare they come up with this?!"

Marina immediately started talking in a sweet voice, which amused Old Wolf again: "Who told you to be so cheap that it only costs a few dozen dollars and you won't even spend three figures? You'll shut down when the fight starts."

The driver was relieved when Marina spoke up. He asked again, "Girl, why did you go to Arakawa's vampire company on such a rainy day?"

"Um... I'm sorry." Marina smiled gently: "Mr. Driver, I really can't tell you the reason. I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable listening to it."

In fact, she was afraid that the driver would not dare to take her there after she told him the real reason.

Then you have to spend time calling a car, which is troublesome.

"But it's not a drug trial."

Marina shook her head: "I'm not that desperate yet."

The driver smiled and nodded when he heard this: "That's good, that's good."

Then he noticed the katana in Marina's hand.

"I heard that the 2D event is quite popular recently, and your ronin image is quite suitable."

"Little girl, are you going there too? If so, I'll take you there directly so you don't have to get wet in the rain."

The driver saw Marina's stunned expression from the rearview mirror, and quickly said: "It doesn't matter if it's not her, it doesn't matter, just think of it as an uncle's mistake." - What the hell, did you think I was a stupid newt?
Marina took out her phone with a puzzled look and opened the map to look for it. She found that there was actually a comic exhibition not far from Arakawa headquarters.

And the ticket checking was going to start in half an hour, and the timing was just right!
There is no way to defend myself now.

The driver's action made Old Wolf so happy that he rolled around in the car.

"Uncle driver."

Marina was silent for a moment, then decided to tell the truth. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if someone really gave her a ride to the comic convention. "I went to see Ryuji Arakawa for something. He owed me something."

Marina leaned against the soft backrest and looked at the City of the Sun in the rain through the car window covered with raindrops.

It's as unreal as a painting.

It won't be long before the rain stops and the motorboats loaded with advertisements take off again, and the weather robots come out to clean the walls and windows of the company's high-rise buildings.

"But Arakawa Ryuji himself probably wouldn't want to give it to me. He even offered his own son as collateral... but that's useless."

"I can still tell the difference between a knife that kills and a person who kills."

Marina lowered her eyes and said softly, "So I'll get it myself."

This series of riddles overwhelmed the driver's CPU. He laughed awkwardly twice, but still gave up the idea of ​​sending Marina to the comic convention.

So the rest of the journey was spent in this eerie silence.

It was not until the tall building of Arakawa Pharmaceutical's headquarters came into view that the driver could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked, "Little girl, you said that Arakawa Ryuji owed you something. What is it?"

Marina didn't reply.

She was waiting for the car to stop.

The driver also thought that Marina didn't want to reply to him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Ten seconds later, the car slowly stopped less than a hundred meters away from the headquarters of Arakawa Pharmaceutical. Marina opened the door and said thank you to the driver before getting out.

Then he turned to look at the driver who looked a little regretful, smiled at him, and added: "Arakawa Ryuji owes me his life."

Only then did the driver see the long and creepy scars on Marina's chest and abdomen, and he was suddenly horrified.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

In the heavy rain, Marina moved her pupils and saw the reflection of the security guard standing at the door of Arakawa Company, pointing a gun at her.

She knew they were too far away to see her face clearly.

"If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed. This should be the most basic knowledge."

Marina waved at the car's rearview mirror, and the latter fled the scene as fast as possible, splashing mud and water all over her.

She smiled and shook her head, quietly listening to the new world full of noise in her headphones, humming the tune of a symphony, and walked towards the building of Arakawa Pharmaceutical step by step.

"First, let's say hello."

Marina casually took out the electromagnetic hand cannon and pulled the trigger at the gate less than a hundred meters away.

Then, in the harmony of the violin and the rainstorm, a violent but well-timed note broke in.

Marina whistled, "Two in one shot! Skewer them!"

She slid slowly to the bottom of the stairs of the building with her tap dance steps that were so funny that they looked weird, and then did another backflip and stood in front of the bulletproof glass door that was shattered into pieces.

"Hello? Is Mr. Arakawa Ryuji home?"

Marina shouted at the surveillance camera in the hall, then put her hands next to her ears, pretending to listen: "Oh my friends, of course the vampires are at home. The company belongs to everyone! But they are cowards who dare not show up!"

"What should I do?"

Marina suddenly asked herself in great fear.

"Of course it is——"

She strode directly into the hall. With her first kick, she blew up the tripwire at the door and the floor tiles within five meters around it. With her second kick, she kicked the trigger-type booby trap a hundred meters away. With her third kick, she was already standing in the center of the high-tech hall.

Marina held her head high and announced to the people around her with a smile as if she was giving a speech:

"Use low heat, medium heat, and high heat to roast it little by little until it has to come out, children!"

On the 60th floor of Arakawa headquarters.

Arakawa Ryuji looked at Marina on the surveillance screen, then stared at the electronic death report of Arakawa Raizo for a moment, and ordered expressionlessly: "I want to see her body within half an hour."

After issuing the kill order, Ryuji Arakawa sighed indifferently.

Then, he saw Marina's ferocious yet happy golden pupils filling the surveillance camera: "You must be looking at me now, I am not wrong, I am absolutely not wrong!"

After she laughed wildly twice, she suddenly calmly withdrew her face, coughed twice, and unfolded the obituary in her hand:

"Stupid beast Arakawa Ryuji, I hereby declare your verdict. You are suspected of blood-sucking, exploiting the poor, attacking Marina, making Marina unhappy, and causing Marina to be injured..."

When she was halfway through reading, Marina suddenly covered her head and screamed, "Gaia - there's too much to read!"

At this time, the melody from the New World in the cheap headphones was reaching its climax. Marina followed her mood and grinned at the monitor and said:
"Mr. Arakawa~ I'm here to kill you, so get scared and run away."

boom!
The surveillance screen was smashed into pieces by Ryuji Arakawa's punch.

He pounded the wooden table hard, making a dent, and suppressed the anger in his voice: "Only me!"

"exist."

An emotionless voice appeared in the shadow of Arakawa Ryuji, and then a tall figure slowly took shape behind him.

"Go and bring this clown's head to me!"

"Mr. Long Er, I was sent by Mr. Andre to protect your safety."

After a moment of silence, Arakawa Ryuji realized the weakness of his own martial arts. His anger gradually subsided, and he asked the figure behind him: "Then how strong do you think she is?"

I opened another surveillance screen, and on the screen, Marina was laughing and rushing around among a group of mobile guards.

One punch to the head, so satisfying.

"Fourth gene awakening." I looked at it for two more seconds and added, "The top one, the one with the most practical experience."

"How does that compare to you?"

"I am also a top-level four-time gene awakener. Not only that, I am also a third-level psychic, equipped with the latest combat prostheses of Gospel Technology, Your Excellency Long Er."

"The relationship between genes, psychic powers, and prosthetics in a person is not addition, but multiplication."

I calmly closed the screen and showed the slender lightsaber at my fingertips.

"—let me process what she said, it shouldn't take more than a minute."

It doesn't take even a minute to kill these small fish.

The injuries she had received at the iron smelting factory had almost completely healed, and with the help of painkillers, Marina didn't feel any pain at all.

She just listened to the symphony around her ears, moving forward at high speed in the hail of bullets, and then blew the heads of those helmeted guys who were loyal to this kind of vampire like watermelons.

"Hum, hum, hum, hum, dunk, dunk, dunk~"

Second floor.

the third floor.

The seventh floor.

The tenth floor.

Marina climbed up step by step without any hindrance, leaving behind only headless corpses on the road.

But when she reached the eleventh floor, someone shouted at her with a loudspeaker: "Give up now, I can make the decision to let Chairman Arakawa let you go. Talented people like you should join our Wolf Hunter Corps and shine!"

Marina, who heard the solicitation voice, cursed, "Fuck, are you trying to fool people here?"

"Then I'll say something—"

Marina yelled through the wall, "Kids, put down your weapons and stop resisting. This will only increase my KD for nothing, okay?"

Hearing that the attempt to persuade him to surrender failed, the two-meter-tall giant man in the lead crushed the loudspeaker and said, "I told you this thing doesn't work."

He pointed to his prosthetic arm that was as thick as a tree trunk and said, "This thing is useful!"

"Brother, you are right about this."

Marina, who appeared in the makeshift trench they had built at some point, nodded in appreciation and punched the sturdy man in the head.

Suddenly, blood gushed out like a fountain, painting the entire ceiling red.

"But it seems like your muscles are just for show but not for use. You're just strong but not smart."

Marina shook her head, took the super-large caliber shotgun from the burly man, aimed it at the bewildered members of the Wolf Hunting Corps around her, and pulled the trigger hard.

"I am the wolf. You guys are not environmentally friendly, not green, and don't want to protect wild animals. You are the ones who are hunting me, right?"

"Die, die, die, all of you! Poachers, explode right where you are!"

Amid the smell of gunpowder and gun smoke, the crackling sound of charred meat splattered all over the ground.

"Byd smells pretty good."

Marina smacked her lips, threw the shotgun with a red-hot barrel to the ground, and continued walking in the narrow corridor with a careless pace.

This was probably because the regular guards at the Arakawa headquarters had gathered in the first few levels and were killed by her, as well as the mercenaries who happened to be staying at the Arakawa headquarters.

At this point, the garrison guards at Arakawa headquarters were almost reduced to zero.

"You guys are pretty nice."

Marina smiled and waved at the ubiquitous surveillance cameras.

I guess the next ones I’ll face are probably those more powerful ones, the ones covered in black and the ones with Swanwestan.

Then on which floor would he be ambushed?
Well, they were just a bunch of defeated enemies anyway. If she had been told there were so many Arakawa Raizo, she would have turned around and run away...

Shadow Burial Guard? Just a stronger ant.

Generally speaking, the special forces that maintain law and order among the capitalists in Sun City will arrive within an hour. This is Arakawa's headquarters, so it should be even faster.

Even half an hour.

How many minutes have you only used now?
Marina passed by a workstation and after searching inside, she took out a diamond-studded mechanical watch.

——Only four...oh! Five minutes!
She actually still had twenty-five minutes left to easily defeat those defeated opponents and at most speed up her journey a little.

Doesn’t it look light and loose when viewed this way?

Maybe I can spend five minutes catching up with Turtle Ryuji.

Thinking of this, Marina, whose injuries were getting less and less, couldn't help but reveal her clean white teeth, turning into a sunny and cheerful girl.

Then he began to sing the random words in his loud, tone-deaf voice:
"Dare to mess with me and my dear Xiao Yuan~"

"I'm going to kill your whole family~"

"Kicking Arakawa Raizo's head isn't enough~"

"I'm going to blow up Arakawa Ryuji with my punches~"

"I will let Hinode City know what it means to be a powerful person who should not be provoked~"

Hearing this in such a cheerful tone, Marina did not bang her head against the ceiling to go upstairs as she had done before. Instead, she walked straight into the elevator and pressed the button for the 60th floor without hesitation.

Go directly to the office of the old thief Arakawa.

He is definitely acting like a coward right now.

——There is a convenient and fast elevator, why do we still have to take the stairs?
Elevator, in!

Stairs, miss!
The friction sound of cables and pulleys is so clear in the extremely quiet Arakawa headquarters.

Marina put her hands in her pockets, closed her eyes and hummed a song, giving off a feeling of "I am the boss Arakawa".

Until the elevator reached the 44th floor.

Marina opened her eyes and looked at the specially selected number. "So it was waiting for me here. How come the Japanese have so many weird ideas about such trivial things?"

Without further thought, Marina knew that the guy on the other side of the elevator door had already attacked her.

Of course she also wants...

Reciprocity!
Marina's big hand tore the elevator door made of two thin alloy plates and stabbed it straight into the forehead of a shadow guard who was rushing towards the elevator.

She twisted her five fingers and shouted to the "empty" forty-fourth floor:

"Good evening, workers~"

No other Shadow Guard answered her, only the one in Marina's hand was still humming instinctively.

She crushed the head in her hand in dissatisfaction.
"Fuck, you are the face of a big company, why are you so rude?"

Marina took out the modified submachine gun from the Shadow Guard's lower back, turned on the safety quite skillfully, and checked whether the magazine was full.

Then she kicked the corpse of the Shadow Burial Guard beside her out of the building and raised her eyebrows at the still silent 44th floor:
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move?"

Marina nodded in agreement. "If you want to buy time, this is a pretty good trick."

"Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me anymore."

She suddenly grinned and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the bottom of the desk closest to her: "Because, I have completely memorized your smell!"

The muzzle flames were so strong that the Shadow Burial Guard hiding there who had no time to activate S'An Westin was shot into a sieve.

The rest is still being written
