Kill them in Cyberman!

When the blazing oven finally sank beneath the mountain, a modern bonfire was lit in the camp.

In the nearby oasis area, a medium-sized wanderer family - the Houri family - was active at this time. They were preparing to hold a farewell party for the simple reason that a member of their family would embark on a new journey today.

"Sister Oshima, I'm sorry, but I have to do this. Thank you for your care over the years."

The pink-haired, blue-eyed girl said shyly to Oshima Junko, the deputy leader of the Houri Clan.

The middle-aged woman with Japanese braids did not blame the girl, but patted her on the shoulder.

"It's okay. No one in the camp will mind. Little Pochi has his own way to go. We are all very happy."

Junko Oshima showed a gentle smile, and at the same time there was a hint of reluctance in the depths of her eyes.

Ever since picking up this lonely little girl six years ago, a mother-daughter relationship has been established between the two.

"Uh-huh."

The girl called Pochi nodded vigorously, tears of reluctance welling up in her eyes. She was shy by nature and could only show such rich emotions in front of Junko Oshima who had always taken care of her.

"Junko, Pochi, are you guys ready? Everyone else has been waiting for too long!"

The middle-aged man with a resolute face opened the tent and spoke to the two of them with a smile.

He is Mike, the leader of the Houri family and the husband of Junko Oshima. It is this man who has led the Houri family to grow and develop step by step, leading to the stable environment it has today.

"Hey, Old Mac, don't be anxious. Let the child prepare well. You know her personality."

"Pochi, you get ready here, we'll go out first."

Junko also responded to Mike with a smile.

"Okay, then let's give our little Pochi some private space."

Mike smiled and walked out of the tent side by side with Junko, leaving Pochi alone.

The girl was stunned for a few seconds, then she let out a long sigh, sat down on the chair, her eyes looking at the two things on the table.

A rock guitar with a rather wasteland style that looks like it has been weathered by time.

There is also a silver mechanical prosthesis, which the girl bought with money she saved over the years (friends in the camp also donated some money). Although it is not the latest model with any inexplicably cool functions, it is sturdy and durable and easy to install and disassemble. It may also be because the girl is very careful in using it, so it looks like new over the years.

When the girl picked up the prosthesis, she felt a sharp pain in her broken left hand. The old injury from many years ago had been haunting her like a nightmare.

The girl's memory seemed to go back to the night six years ago when she escaped from Newland, as she fitted the prosthesis onto her disabled arm countless times.

"It's okay, Yili, you made it through it..."

"Now is the time to face the past..."

She secretly cheered herself up in her heart. This time after leaving the Houri family, she would return to the city that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her - Newland.

To find a truth, an answer.

The prosthesis was installed, and the girl moved her cold metal fingers slightly and held the guitar in her arms.

“Hoohoo… That’s right, that’s right, that’s right. Just like before, play in front of everyone!”

With an exaggerated expression on her face, the girl cheered herself up in her own private space.

“Don’t let everyone in the camp down!!!”

"Guitar Hero! Do something big! Go! Go! Go!"

"Po, Pochi-sister... that everyone..."

Hearing the confused boy's voice coming from behind, Pochi was petrified instantly.

Seeing the older sister still standing in an awkward posture, the boy who came to urge her was petrified.

"Something bad has happened. Sister Pochi seems to have cyberpsychosis!"

As the boy ran out of the tent in shock, Pochi's "stone statue" made a shattering sound.

……

"Thank you...everyone for taking care of me...over the years..."

Finally, they had a fairly cheerful farewell party. At the long-awaited banquet, everyone sang and danced, performing their own talents. Even Pochi stood in front of the crowd amid the shoves and encouragement of the crowd and played a rock song that she had prepared for who knows how long.

The next morning came, and while the temperature in the desert had not yet reached its peak, everyone came to see Bochi off.

According to the itinerary, Pochi will take the family's delivery vehicle to the towns around Newland, and then enter the city through the official channel.

Sitting in the bumpy delivery truck, Pochi held a handwritten letter in his hand, which was rare in this era:

……

Goto Ichiri received it,

First of all, when you see this letter, you may be surprised because we haven't been in touch for many years, but you know, I also said at the time that I would not give up.

So over the years, I have been investigating what happened back then. We all know it very well, but we just don't want to face it.

However, maybe it's because my luck has always been bad, and I only discovered some clues recently. Now I can be 100% sure that it was not an accident back then, but unfortunately I cannot express what I discovered in this letter, so we need to meet.

First of all, I have already made an identity certificate for you. It will be sent to you along with this letter. You only need to enter your identity information to pass the security check into the city.

Contact me after entering the city

:************(Number)

I really need you, and you should need me too.

Yamada Ryo

……

It was this letter that made Pochi want to return to Newland. Perhaps it was responsibility, or perhaps it was instinct, that made her finally make this irrational decision, a decision with a bleak future.

Bochi looked at the ID card in his hand. There was only one column left to be entered, which was the name.

Feeling the coldness of the mechanical prosthesis touching his body, Pochi wrote four words on it.

"Pochi Silver Hand"

Chapter 83 The Light of Hiding

At the entrance of the Hermes Building, a grand press conference was being held, and countless news media were scrambling to interview Albert.

At the same time, this press conference was broadcast live on the entire network as usual, and the live broadcast room was instantly full. There may be people who are concerned about technological development, but more are Albert's fans.

That's right, it was the fans. After Albert's appearance was exposed to the public, a fan group spontaneously emerged and began to grow. These people don't care about the latest products; they are purely greedy for his body.

"Everyone please move aside, move aside, move aside."

The well-trained security personnel set up cordons to keep the surging crowds out.

Albert walked up the red carpet to the podium under the protection of security. According to the original plan, when he stood in the right position, a nano protective shield would rise from the ground to protect him.

"Uh-huh……"

The sound of Albert testing the microphone quieted the media present.

"Everyone who came here today...blah blah"

Albena's standard implicit and polite speech mainly contains the following effective information.

The theme of this conference is also the highly anticipated special project created by Hermes Technology and the Four Palaces Foundation for the first time in the field of psychic research:

Concerning the development of a psychic energy-stimulating device called the "Invader".

The so-called "Burst" is the basic device for humans to use psychic energy on a large scale, similar to the generator in the electrical energy system.

In theory, using the "Burst" can achieve the stimulation of psychic energy and establish a relatively stable direction of psychic energy stimulation.

At the press conference, Albert mentioned that there are two huge challenges in the current application of psychic powers.

First, there is the material problem. Materials that can be used for the conduction and storage of spiritual energy are extremely rare. Ordinary metals in reality can hardly accomplish this task, so researchers have to find another way.

Secondly, there is the instability of psychic energy itself. Apart from some naturally existing psychic energy nodes in the world, the psychic energy generated by other creatures' emotions will fluctuate with the ups and downs of emotions. Therefore, even the stored psychic energy will become unstable due to the connection with the user's own psychic energy (the consequence is likely to be an explosion, with no remains left).

Then "The Burst" is the first great attempt made by mankind to solve the above two problems. The material for storing psychic energy uses a ghost with powerful regenerative ability supplied by the Shinomiya Group in Japan (special thanks to Ms. Tomie).

After conducting extensive (inhumane) experiments, Kaguya Shinomiya's researchers extracted a special enzyme from demons with the ability to inhibit regeneration, which can inhibit growth while retaining the ability to absorb and store psychic energy, thus creating a stable, recyclable storage and transportation material, code-named "Montage".

After "Montage" was developed, the Shinomiya Group used this substance to mine a large amount of psychic energy for experiments from the underground psychic nodes in Tokyo.

In order to prevent large-scale property losses caused by psychic explosions, Hermes Technologies cooperated with the Shinomiya Foundation to build a large number of simple experimental platforms in the Pacific Ocean (quickly built using 3D printing technology).

After countless explosions (fishing boats in nearby waters reported finding a large number of colorful, glowing fish, which were non-toxic but tasted bad, but surprisingly very ornamental, triggering a wave of overfishing), the experiment finally developed a synthetic metal that could barely guide the flow of psychic energy but could not store it. This is the second part of the material of the "Invader", code-named: "Yago".

Combining "Montage" with "Yago" gave birth to the first generation of "Breaker" shown at the conference.

Although "The Burst" has not yet been applied to human daily activities and cannot replace nuclear energy and electrical energy, psychic energy, as a pure, pollution-free (it only affects the spiritual level) and almost inexhaustible high-energy energy, still has a very bright future.

"Bala, bala, bala..."

While Albert was still speaking passionately, in a low building about two kilometers opposite the Hermes Building, a window on a certain floor slowly opened, sunlight shone into the shadows, and a pure black sniper rifle popped out slightly from it.

This is an extremely tricky position. From this window of the building, you can see through the gap between the building and the viaduct and see the front door of the Hermes Building, which is where Albert is currently giving a speech.

A man dressed in black was lying motionless at the window, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, staring at Albert, who was as small as a mosquito.

In order to avoid network monitoring, he did not use any auxiliary equipment that could connect to the Internet, and even his communications were completely shut down a few days ago.

Several days of lurking were all for this moment today, the moment the barrier protecting Albert was opened.

But is such a difficult thing really something humans can do?

If he were alone, the killer would think that he couldn't do it, but he was not alone, and he had this gun.

Well, yes, this is not a sniper rifle as simple as it looks. It is a special psychic equipment that has the ability to absolutely hit the target. The disadvantage is that it requires the user to lock and guide it for a long time.

This gun has a cool name:

"Shadow Elf"!

Then the question arises, even the world's top companies are still in the initial stages of psychic research, how could a mere killer have such equipment?

What kind of organization arranged the killer to carry out the assassination? How could they have such strength and equipment?

About five minutes later, Albert's press conference finally ended, and the best opportunity that the killer had been waiting for was about to come, that is, when the nano-protection surrounding Albert dropped to his shoulders. Only then would the security personnel around him not have time to cover him, and Albert would not be able to leave. Moreover, at such a long distance, the silenced gunshots would instantly be drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Before Albert was shot in the head, it was impossible for anyone to react to the assassination.

Monitoring the rate at which Albert's protection was decreasing through a high-tech eyepiece, the killer secretly counted down in his mind.

"coming!"

Trigger pulled!

"Long live the Illuminati!"

A special bullet flashing with psychic light instantly shot out from the "Shadow Elf".

Through the bustling urban area, through the steel jungle, through the speeding vehicles.

……

"thanks for your support."

Albert smiled politely on the stage, and the live broadcast room was instantly flooded with all kinds of strange comments. The serious people who wanted to discuss the newly released invader suddenly lost interest.

"Boom!!!"

But the next moment, in everyone's sight, a dazzling explosion suddenly exploded on Albert's body, instantly engulfing him and the security guards around him!

Chapter 84 Defend yourself with your guitar!

In the desert west of Newland, this worthless area abandoned by modern civilization, public security is a beautiful luxury.

If you travel alone and do not have a decent identity or background, then even if you are not swallowed up by the harsh natural climate, there will be desert bandits wandering around looking for prey waiting for a wonderful encounter with you.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Riding in a freight team or a caravan is a powerful choice. Although you have your own escort team, it does not mean it is safe, because freight teams and caravans symbolize materials and supplies, or other things of higher value. In short, these are worth it for some daring bandits to take risks.

It is amazing that the Western movie scenes from almost a century ago are still being performed today.

"Newland Express--Mr. Albert, the president of Hermes Technology, was assassinated during a press conference..."

"Hey, I didn't expect that the security in Newland City is still the same. Such a thing actually happened to the president of Hermes Technology..."

Sitting in the carriage, little Bochi was bored and flipping through the information on the terminal. In this era where scholars can know everything about the world without leaving home, as long as there is a terminal and a signal, one can surf the Internet even in the desert. It has to be said that this is a bit postmodern.

"Is that the case?"

When he saw the performance video start to spin in circles, Pochi realized that they had reached an area with no signal.
