Cyberpunk: From Dogville to Legend

Chapter 308 The Cyber ​​Mental Illness Case: Value (Part 2)
"I go!"

Rebecca didn't see many details. While the two Tiger Claw Gang members died in a terrible state, the guy was standing still, his eyes vacant and his mouth moving.

"What the hell is going on?"

Unable to detect Rebecca's rapid movement with her prosthetic eye, she assumed other forces were present.

Lin Yue, however, knew very well that when Huang Yue entered the loading screen for the quick crack, that guy moved. The two heads weren't using knives, but rather the mantis knives on his arms!

Lin Yue was estimating the speed while pulling Rebecca back as much as possible. It would only take a second or two for this cyber madman to get close to them, and if they were forced to fight back, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"Brandon!"

Lin Yue grabbed Rebecca, who was trying to sneak away.

"You even reminded me not to take action, but what about yourself?"

“You have too much trouble on your hands, so of course I can’t take action against you, but I have to keep an eye on Brandon!”

Rebecca couldn't bear it. Even from this angle, it was impossible to see whether Brandon had been damaged by that cyber madman, but from the center of the battle, Brandon was too close. Stray bullets could easily cause the machine to crash.

Lin Yue wanted to see what the strength of the prosthetic bodies that the company was currently supplying to the market was.

At the same time, he was also trying to find a way to save Brandon's machine.

So he whispered a word of comfort: "Brandon's intention to send us away couldn't be clearer. I don't have the resources right now—even if I could handle that guy, I wouldn't be able to take care of you and Brandon. Don't be foolish."

Rebecca was taken aback at first—

In the little girl's eyes, Lin Yue was a bottomless pit of power. He always faced his enemies with a confident and focused gaze, so hearing him say something like "not yet" seemed rather novel...

Of course, she couldn't bear to blame Lin Yue.

After all, Rebecca just wanted to go shopping with her sweetheart and didn't want Lin Yue to get involved in a lot of trouble by exposing himself.

So her expression immediately turned into a hint of resentment. She gritted her teeth and cursed herself under her breath. The feeling of powerlessness, which made her increasingly unable to help, made her sad.

Lin Yue didn't notice the girl's little thoughts. He was trying to figure out which company was behind that guy's creation. How did this guy, who didn't seem like someone who could withstand these prosthetics and afford the cost, become like this?
However, from the conversation, Lin Yue vaguely understood what the Tiger Claw Gang had likely done to Naderson's daughter, which might have been the direct cause of Cyber's psychosis...

As he pondered, the sharp crack of the gunshot was like the sudden ignition of firewood, and Lin Yue's pupils contracted slightly...

Amidst the sounds of the prosthetic device operating and the heavy thumping of footsteps, Lin Yue discovered a pink-haired woman in a jacket from the Tiger Claw Gang; she was actually using the S.A.W.S ...

This…

The speed is not slow, about 30% of the time is stopped!

But when Lin Yue saw that Nadson was standing still, as if waiting for the woman to split his head open with a samurai sword, he knew it was all over.

That was due to a delay in the prosthetic eye's detection; in reality, Nadson had already created a circular afterimage in place, and his speed had already surpassed the far point.

Optimized components, a mature product—no wonder it surpassed the experimental prototype used by MAN.

"Shh!"

"Go to hell, you disgusting scum!" the woman screamed, her voice distorted as if a loudspeaker had been installed in an empty alley.

As the sound continued to fill her ears, the woman, who had just missed her target, stumbled, her hands gripping the knife. Finding nothing in front of her, she instinctively looked up, and Lin Yue's gaze instantly turned to her!

"Double jump..."

"What?!" Rebecca was shocked by the extremely fast pace of the battle and didn't hear Lin Yue's mutterings for a moment.

Lin Yue stared at the figure hanging at the entrance of the H8 skyscraper. The man had used a mantis-shaped blade from one arm, embedded in a pillar as a connection point, seemingly dodging, but Lin Yue actually knew what he was about to do next…

Eagles also gather their strength in this way before swooping down on a rabbit.

So he instinctively reached out and covered Rebecca's eyes.

Rebecca hurriedly pried open Lin Yue's fingers with her hands, her eyes darting around as she looked in that direction.

The Tiger Claw Gang members drew their guns and fired. The guy seemed to have hooks on his feet, moving quickly along the pillar a few times, with bullets chasing after him a step behind. Then, his body was lifted into the air, and the mantis knife on his wrist began to form a cross. The Tiger Claw Gang women below sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated!
"It's over!"

Lin Yue knew that the guy had excellent motor coordination, which must have been achieved through a technical organization that reinforced his muscle memory.

In other words, what's in front of you is a trained cyber madman!
"You bitch! Go to hell!"

Noticing the guy falling through the air, the female Tiger Claw Gang members suddenly changed direction and slashed with all their might. However, the guy suddenly twisted his body, and his chinless face slashed across the flawless surface of the blade. His pupils were trembling to the extreme!
"Uh-huh!"

A curved blade pierced directly through the woman's slender neck. Not only that, but in the shadows of the two people cast by the neon lights on the ground, the blade that had penetrated her throat was pushed in further with the cyber madman's renewed force, causing the dying woman's body to tremble nervously!

"屮!"

Eager to save him, the Tiger Claw Gang surrounded him, raining bullets down on his body. However, those potentially lethal bullets only managed to create sparks on his seemingly dirty skin. Some bullets even deflected off their trajectories and struck gang members who were frantically reloading.

With a cold gaze fixed on the corpse protruding from the blade, the cyber madman's hand, glowing with the light of bullets striking, reached out towards the head.

"Give her back to me."

Only the bullet and he heard those words.

Pfft!

The strongest bones in the human body, besides the elbows, are the skull. To protect the brain and computer, cybernetic prosthetics doctors reinforce the skull. However, the cyber madman simply squeezes it, and it's just a pile of fragments!
Pfft!
The corpse knelt on the ground, and S.A.W.S., whose spine had been damaged at the end, was still roaring, seemingly unwilling to accept that she had lost so easily.

"Cyber ​​madman! Holy crap!"

The Tiger Claw gang members weren't stupid; they had seen a lot of things that made them the most unstable element on the streets, so someone immediately shouted out.

Lin Yue's gaze swept across the chaotic streets and the roads filled with car crashes. NCPD officers standing far away were shouting to evacuate the surrounding crowd, and several were already huddled behind police cars.

A sudden tingling sensation ran through his nerves, and Lin Yue abruptly turned around.

He noticed that the cyber madman, who was three or four hundred meters away, was pointing his gaze in his direction with his mantis knife!

Lin Yue's nerves immediately tensed up!
Wow...

A moment of clarity suddenly appeared in the cyber madman's frantically trembling eyes, and Lin Yue felt a strange sense of déjà vu about that instant of emotion—

Confusion, pain, and the need for help.

It's like someone humbly pleading for relief.

When Dogtown and the Black Wall successfully linked for the first time, Lin Yue did not feel an overwhelming power, but rather an extreme sense of loneliness and confusion. It seemed that the world's fun and vitality were being rapidly stripped away, leaving only extreme suffering.

The cyber madman turned his head away, once again embarking on a journey toward his doom.

Tiger Claw gang members scattered and fled; drivers on the street opened their car doors, their faces filled with terror and their legs trembling; NCPD officers covered their heads, too afraid to raise their guns to fight back; and new armed men poured out of skyscrapers—

This frozen scene unfolds before the eyes of two people who have once fallen into the abyss of power.

The cyber madman looked down at the gun, bent down to pick it up, and double images began to appear behind all the fleeing people. Looking down, the chaotic crowd was connected by blurry dotted lines to form the image of a dead police officer.

The view shifted to a street stained with blood and debris, where the cyber madman's chest heaved.

In just one minute, they all met their end.

"this…"

Even Rebecca, a cyberpunk gunslinger who had killed countless gang members, was horrified by the horrific scene of carnage. She instinctively grabbed Lin Yue's clothes, her face extremely pale.

"cough…"

At the feet of the cyber madman, an innocent passerby, not quite dead yet, lay sprawled on the ground. Beside him was a blood-stained plush keychain, his hand weakly outstretched forward—Bang!
The piercing gunshot sent a shiver down Rebecca's spine.

The gun in the hands of the cyber madman took his life completely.

"Lin Yue..."

Rebecca forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit and looked up. Lin Yue's gaze was fixed on the sky.

"Beep—beep—beep!"

The piercing sirens of the Terrorist Mobile Squad echoed through the deathly silent streets, with the burning vehicles below serving as beacons for the hovercars ridden by the legitimate rioters.

Lin Yue had already silently calculated it in his mind.

The cyber madman in front of us is enough to cause even the Terrorist Mobile Unit to suffer losses, so why doesn't the NCPD send other armed personnel to support him?

Nadson seemed to sense something.

The constantly flashing red light on his body made the bloodstains on his body appear even darker.

Lin Yue stared intently at the terrorist squad that was descending from the hovercar, wanting to see how much they would have to pay to deal with this cyber madman.

Based on the speed of the prosthetic body, the Terrorist Mobile Unit is in for a tough time.

The cyber madman didn't make any move after landing. The leader was a burly man, and because Lin Yue's prosthetic eye system was connected to the NCPD's data, he immediately saw the name of the leader of the terrorist mobile team assault team...

"Why is it him?"

Upon seeing the Terrorist Mobile Squad, Rebecca immediately pulled Lin Yue into a corner of a dilapidated apartment building, a common sight in Japanese neighborhoods. Still shaken, she kept repeating:

"Oh no, Brandon's definitely going to be turned to smithereens! That cyber madman is so strong, I feel like he's even as fast as you—uh, what did you say?"

The entire Japanese street was filled with panicked pedestrians, except for the piercing sirens of the Terrorist Mobile Squadron's hovercars, who were either running away or crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands, praying incessantly.

“Mann”.

Lin Yue uttered a name that even Rebecca found somewhat dazed.

"what?"

Lin Yue repeated, "Mann, he's the one leading the team."

Rebecca knew that Mann was in the Terrorist Unit, but she didn't expect that the unreliable old cyberpunk from Night City would lead the Terrorist Unit.

However, according to Lin Yue and his departed sister-in-law, Mann has changed a lot, as if she has experienced some major upheaval.

"Holy crap, how did Mann handle that cyber lunatic—"

Lin Yue quickly covered Rebecca's mouth. "This area has definitely been taken over by the Terrorist Mobile Team's hackers. Let's take a look. I had Haywood's friend investigate before. Mann seems to be very interested in cybernetic bodies and cyber madmen."

Rebecca quickly nodded.

Just as the two were talking, the cyber madman had already started!
Lin Yue thought the team members who were closing in were about to be attacked, but he didn't expect that his artificial eye would detect that someone on the hovercar hadn't come down.

Why didn't the team hacker land on the ground?

Just as Lin Yue was completely baffled, a piercing hissing sound came from behind the cyber madman who had started moving—

In his shocked gaze, the cyberattack caused the entire cyber madman to burst into a dazzling light, and his moving body suddenly collapsed to the ground!

"That cyber madman doesn't have a specially made ICE?"

Rebecca looked bewildered.

"They know where this guy's weakness is..."

Lin Yue had a terrifying thought.

The Terrorist SWAT team knew this target would appear.

From his perspective, the Terrorist Mobile Unit didn't seem to be there to solve problems, but rather to collect scrap.

"The Terrorist SWAT team generally has two options: the first is to execute this cyber lunatic, and the second is to detain him in prison..."

Rebecca nodded, watching as Mann slowly pressed the gun against Cyber ​​Madman's head—

It seems the first option is the best choice.

"Buzz!"

Because the cyber madman lacks the perception and emotions of a normal person, he cannot experience fear at all. Even though forcibly activating the implanted experience under these circumstances causes him great pain, he still continues to fight back as if he were going to fight to the death.

The speed at the far point is enough to dodge it.

In contrast, Cyber ​​Madman was more like a spinning, falling object on the ground, his body gradually rising up amidst the intense friction with the ground!

"Get out of the way!"

Mann growled, and even though the Mantis Blademan from the Terrorist Mobile Squad was on guard and quickly created distance, he was instantly rammed hard by the high-speed cyber madman who stood up!

Sometimes seeing things too clearly is actually a bad thing.

Lin Yue watched helplessly as two human structures were torn apart by immense force, like crumpled paper. Metal ribs protruded from the crushing force, and rotating mechanical arms spun through a cloud of blood as they flew into the air…

Everything happened so suddenly.

……

……

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

People stopped on the lifeless street.

After a slight noise.

A discrete chip was picked up from dried bloodstains. Because the blood had coagulated, the black discrete chip was almost invisible unless you looked closely.

Inside was a conversation and a list of immunosuppressants to buy.

[Nardson]: You motherfucker, hand over Lina.

[Jotaro]: Who are you? Are you looking for death? Do you want to ask my men how to deal with those idiots who don't even have hair on their mouths?

[Jotaro]: What, Rena?
[Nardson]: Someone saw Lina go to Genting Highlands, stop pretending! The message she sent is that she found a job with you.

[Jotaro]: I don't know! Don't let me find you, you piece of trash.

[Nardson]: You've got guts, we'll see.

……

[Prescription]: This patient had a large number of prosthetics implanted, and postoperative intervention was poor. Initial cognitive impairment has now occurred.

[System Error]: The medical system failed to connect to the network. Please check again.

[List]: Alprazolam, Olanzapine, and biotechnological omega-type immunosuppressants.
