Cyberpunk, but urban

But no matter which possibility it is, this Vice President Hannah cannot be herself.

However, the second magic bullet fired by Ye Lan was cut into two halves by the dagger in the killer's hand before it hit the killer.

Andreas looked at the Fourth Association's closer who had torn off the fake face on his face, and said to Ye Lan: "...Head of the Third Section of the Southern Fourth Association, this is a big trouble."

"It's hard to say." Ye Lan's pipe flickered with fire, and then he exhaled a puff of smoke, "Once the magic bullet is launched, it will definitely pass through the target's heart."

The next moment, the section chief of the Third Section of the Southern Region of the Fourth Association had his chest pierced by the two halves of the bullet he had cut, and he fell to the ground without moving.

"Dead?" A security officer from Company K asked his colleague while staring at the Section Chief of the Third Department who was lying motionless on the ground.

"He's the chief of the Third Section of the Southern Section of the Fourth Association. How could he die so easily?" his colleague asked him in return.

The security captain, who listened to their conversation with a cold face, shouted at them and ordered them to move the section chief's body over for inspection.

During this examination, they tore off another layer of false face on the corpse's face.

"Fuck, they're performing Sichuan opera."

Ye Lan said something that no one except himself could understand, and looked around at everyone. Since this "Chief of the Third Section of the Southern Fourth Association" was a fake wearing a human skin mask to distract the view, the real Chief of the Third Section of the Southern Fourth Association must be waiting for an opportunity nearby.

"Where are you?"

Ye Lan loaded the magic bullet into the gun chamber. This was the third bullet he fired using the magic bullet shooter's ego. This bullet would penetrate all enemies along the way.

However, just as Ye Lan aimed his shotgun at the sky and prepared to shoot, Andreas, who had already walked to Ye Lan's side, suddenly said to him: "Brother Ye Lan, don't rush to shoot."

"Andre, what do you have in mind?" Ye Lan asked.

"Well..."

A saber pierced out from Andreas' waist and stabbed straight towards Ye Lan's heart from the bottom.

"Um?!"

Although this attack was beyond everyone's expectations, the body amplified by the He-level ego equipment still managed to block the knife with the butt of the shotgun in Ye Lan's hand.

Immediately afterwards, another sword pierced through Andreas' head, chopped down from his center line, and fell towards Ye Lan's neck.

At this time, the employees of K Company around realized that the chief of the fourth section of the second association who was speaking just now was actually just a puppet controlled by a mechanism, and the chief of the third section of the fourth association was hiding in the body of this puppet, controlling him to walk with Ye Lan all the way.

"That's really exaggerated... Did you kill all those people from the Second Association's Fourth Division?"

The hand burning with black flames grasped the second knife of the section chief of the Fourth Association, and the blazing flames instantly melted the weapon made of a special alloy in the middle.

With a crashing sound, the more than 1.9-meter-tall "Andreas" collapsed and turned into a pile of unrecognizable parts scattered on the ground. All the second association's finishing men who were deployed around tore off their uniforms, revealing the uniforms belonging to the fourth association's third department.

The German two-handed swords in their hands were unweighted by them, exposing the various knives hidden inside. All the members of the three southern departments of the four associations appeared here at this moment, surrounding Ye Lan and others.

Seeing this, the employees of K Company slowly pushed aside under the command of their leader, allowing Ye Lan and Miss Zoe who were surrounded by them to leave.

They are just security personnel of K Company and there is no need for them to pay the price for the people of D Nest.

A thin woman came out of the doll. She had abandoned the wakizashi that was blocked by Ye Lan and the katana that had turned into molten iron, and instead pulled out a longer katana from her back.

The head of the Third Section of the Fourth Association, who had not yet seen the group attack capability of the magic bullets in Ye Lan's gun, said to him: "I left a breath... Finisher, if you give up the commission now, we can still let you and your daughter go."

For her, even if Ye Lan could display a fighting ability that was no different from that of a first-level finisher, when surrounded by their three departments, he would not be able to defeat them while taking care of two burdens.

"Why, when did the cleaners from your Fourth Association start fighting on the front lines like those from the Sixth Association?" Ye Lan taunted.

Chapter 96: Why haven’t I eaten the fried chicken I promised myself?

"Ah, I understand. Has your Section 3 been ordered by the director of the Southern Branch to kill us head-on?" The expression on Ye Lan's face almost made the entire Section 3 staff clench their weapons tightly and look at him with gritted teeth.

If their section chief gave the order at this moment, they would surely rush forward immediately and cut Ye Lan, the damn bastard, into a plate of fresh meat slices.

"He asked you to fight head-on. Have you, the people who are finishing the three subjects, never thought of opposing him?" Ye Lan asked.

"...Stop talking nonsense."

The section chief was silent for a moment, then he rushed towards Ye Lan with his large sword in hand. The people from the three southern sections of the four associations around him also followed their section chief to attack.

"It seems there's nothing to talk about."

Ye Lan sighed, and then pointed the gun at the finishing people rushing towards him. Five magic circles of different sizes lit up in front of the gun, and the magic bullets that passed through the magic circles refracted back and forth on the street, leaving behind a series of sharp-angled tracks.

No matter who tried to block or cut the magic bullet, they were all turned into corpses under its unreasonable attack. The bullet finally stopped when it finally shot through the last finisher standing in the direction Ye Lan was looking.

"Damn it, everyone, scatter! Don't be in his field of vision at the same time. The finishers above level three will fight with me, and the rest of you should go capture the target and the girl beside her first!" The head of the third section, whose name was unknown, gave orders to the surviving finishers under his command.

"Ah, why do you have to rush to a dead end?"

Ye Lan stuffed the fourth magic bullet into the gun barrel, and a more gorgeous and larger magic array unfolded in front of the muzzle. One after another, the finishers of the three southern departments of the four associations were targeted by Ye Lan and recorded in the magic bullet targets.

Then the bullet turned into light, brilliant and deadly.

By the time the magic bullet stopped, except for the head of Section 3 and her finishers above level three who survived because they were not targeted by Ye Lan, all the finishers who bypassed him and tried to attack Luna and Miss Zoe were killed.

“Unfortunately, if I continue to use this weapon, I’m not sure if it will hurt my employer.” Ye Lan dispersed the ego [magic bullet] on his body, leaving only the ring in his hand still shining.

Ye Lan, who had disarmed himself, looked at the four associations who were finishing up the project and asked them, "Say, should I give you another chance to give up the commission and evacuate?"

The head of the third section took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted to the people who were gathered around him: "Death greets everyone equally... All three sections of the southern part of the fourth association, listen to my order, kill the people in front of us!"

"Yes!"

These masters who were placed last by Ye Lan also responded loudly to their section chief's instructions, and then clenched their weapons again.

The skill called Eye of Death was displayed in the hands of each of them, and in everyone's eyes, there emerged the weaknesses of Ye Lan that could be cut off with one knife.

"What a pity... I'm sending all of you who are caught up in the conspiracy to your death with my own hands..."

The next moment, these finishing men saw Ye Lan's weaknesses disappear like smoke, and his shape changed accordingly.

"Let us just let this all come to an end in silence."

An ivory tuxedo replaced Ye Lan's black suit, and simple piano key-style decorations appeared symmetrically on his clothes.

A sickle shaped like a musical note appeared in Ye Lan's hand, and he spun it lightly in his hand. The next moment, the sound of piano keys could be heard everywhere, and the area around K Nest Checkpoint No. 7 fell into a strange silence amid the sound of piano keys.

[Da Capo], the ego equipment from the Silent Band shows its power on Ye Lan.

As a set of Aleph-level ego equipment, even for Ye Lan, the duration of the equipment would not be long with just his ring.

Therefore, he did not say any more words to the closers of the four associations.

Wonderful and magnificent music played in Ye Lan's ears, and all other sounds in the world were swallowed up by this music. He was like a silent and gentle conductor, and the sickle was like his baton. However, in Ye Lan's hands at this moment, the music he played was like the death knell of death, silent and despairing.

The black sickle, like a musical note, skillfully pierced through the samurai swords that the finishing people swung at Ye Lan, leaving shocking wounds on their bodies.

But there was no blood gushing out of these wounds. Instead, music was playing in their skulls. The bigger the wound, the clearer the music the finisher heard.

After just a few seconds, these finishers were completely immersed in the wonderful music. They forgot about the battle, their own breathing, and even the fact that they were still alive.

They fell silently, hitting the ground silently, without any sound, but they died cleanly and quickly.

Finally, as the last surviving finisher of the Southern Section of the Four Associations, the section chief of the Southern Section put down his weapon. The man in front of him, who had simply changed into a tuxedo, was not an enemy they could defeat, and he was about to experience the consequences of defeat.

In the silence, the section chief tried to open her mouth. She wanted to say something, but in the end her words were swallowed up by the effect of Da Capo.

Just after she sighed helplessly, a wave of applause rang out in her own mind.

Da Capo means to return to the beginning, that is, to play again from the beginning.

After the applause, she also heard the magnificent, heavenly music, the music of doomsday in Ye Lan's ears.

Ye Lan didn't need to do anything, the music that could penetrate the soul took the section chief's life.

At the same time, the ego equipment on Ye Lan began to twist unsteadily, and a hint of noise broke the silence around the checkpoint.

"From K Company, take their bodies away."

Ye Lan said with a little regret, and then walked towards Zoe who was sitting in the middle of the open space. The young lady was sitting there with Luna at this time, looking at the corpses on the ground at the checkpoint with a pale face.

"Mr. Ye Lan, this won't be the last attack, right?" the eldest lady asked Ye Lan.

"Unless the death of a department of the Four Associations can scare them... But I think they can entrust an entire department to kill you, so they won't be afraid of it."

"Yes, my little master. You must be strong at this moment. Only by becoming a big tree that is not afraid of storms can you truly inherit the family." The black cat advised.

"Okay, let's forget about this crap and go check out that fried chicken bar called Silver Phoenix."

Chapter 97. Father Feng's Fried Chicken

As a noble lady with a prominent family in D-Nest, Miss Zoe has naturally learned the lifestyle of urban people.

But even though she had learned these things in the past, facing human death for the first time in a real sense still made her confused for a while.

Puss in Boots was indignant about this situation. Even if his family held a high position in D Company, it was a laughable and stupid thing in the company to ask the Four Associations to attack his own heir in this way.

Not to mention, the location of the attack was even inside K Company’s checkpoint. What would K Company think when an entire department of the Four Associations came out in full force?

Is Company D trying to use this opportunity to test the security measures of Company K? Are they trying to use the excuse that the successor of the company's executives died here to seek benefits?

The more the Abnormality, who had already placed himself as Miss Zoe's retainer, thought about these things, the more he felt unbearable anger.

When Ye Lan and the K Company security personnel finished dealing with the rest and walked over, they saw the black cat in boots, who was almost in a fighting stance due to anger.

It seemed to be unaware of it, but it had actually turned into an upright walking posture, and the boots on its front paws had also turned into leather gloves that fit its hands. A D'Artagnan hat was buckled on its head, and the huge feathers almost fell to its shoulders.

He also wore a matching cape and belt on his back and waist. There was even a sharp rapier hanging there. If it wasn't still a black cat, Ye Lan would have suspected that the person standing in front of him was a Fifth Association finisher who came from nowhere.

Ye Lan clapped his hands and said to Luna and Zoe, "Although there have been some twists and turns, we have finally entered K's Nest. Do you plan to continue to go to the Silver Phoenix Fried Chicken Bar next?"

Hearing Ye Lan's question, the black cat's ears moved, its eyes rolled around in its eye sockets twice, and then it said sincerely to itself: "I really want to eat fried chicken."

So he raised his head and asked his hostess, "Miss Zoe, do you still want to eat fried chicken?"

The appetite interrupted the anger just now, and the black cat in boots quickly turned back into its original animal appearance as if a balloon had lost air. The extra parts on its body disappeared instantly as if they had never existed.

"Well, if Meow wants to eat, we can just go once."

Miss Zoe sighed and stood up. After a short rest, her discomfort was completely relieved.

Seeing this, Ye Lan pulled Luna and followed her, and together they passed through the electronic scanner of the checkpoint and entered the range of K's Nest.

Originally, they should have been protected by the finishers of the Southern Section 4 of the Second Association, and they should have been more relaxed. Unfortunately, they were dealt with by the finishers of the Southern Section of the Fourth Association before they even met Ye Lan and his group, and it was unknown how many people were still alive.

But think about it in a positive way, at least there are still people alive, right? Maybe when Ye Lan and the others walk to the Silver Phoenix Fried Chicken Bar, they will be able to see the real Andreas and his deputy section chief named Hannah sitting inside the bar.

"Ye Lan, are you thinking about something weird again?"

When Luna saw Ye Lan's eyes were fixed, she knew that he must be making up something that seemed weird to the little girl. She tilted her head and looked at Ye Lan, waiting for him to tell her the interesting things he had just thought of.

Ye Lan naturally would not refuse to share his fun thoughts with others, so he followed Miss Zoe to another street while telling her what he had just been thinking.

"Well, Luna, you should also think that those second association's finishers will not wait for us in the bar, right?"

"Hmm... Ye Lan, when you say that, those things usually become true. I remember you said this kind of thing is called poisonous milk, right?"

"..." Ye Lan was silenced for a moment by Luna's words. When Miss Zoe stopped outside a small shop with a wonderful fragrance wafting from the house, he finally managed to say, "I'm beginning to doubt whether I was right to teach you those words."

"Here we are."

Zoe looked at the restaurant sign and said to Ye Lan and Luna. The black cat she was holding had already jumped from her arms to the ground impatiently.

"Let me open the door, in case there are other assassins."

Ye Lan said as he walked past the two girls and stood in front of them. He gently pushed open the door, and no one was interested in their arrival.

It was not mealtime, but there were still many diners in the restaurant. Ye Lan took a quick look and found that only a few tables at the back of the restaurant were still empty.

"It should be safe."

Ye Lan gave up his seat at the door and followed Zoe into the Silver Phoenix Fried Chicken Bar.

Since the name has the word "bar" in it, it really has a bar counter for ordering drinks. A bartender stands behind the bar counter, and he can make you everything from beer in barrels to a variety of cocktails.

The fragrance that could be smelled at any time in the restaurant came from the kitchen some distance to the right of the bar. Even Ye Lan, who didn't feel very hungry, felt a little hungry after being tempted by the fragrance.

Miss Zoe, who had not eaten much in the morning, made a stomach rumbling that made her face red.

"Then... let's order some food first. Let me see... two whole chickens first, and then one portion of fried leg meat and one portion of fried wings?"

Ye Lan asked them to choose a seat first, while he held the black cat in one hand and ordered food at the bar.

"Hmm, Mr. Ye Lan, please order me a serving of this finger-licking chicken. It looks really tempting." Black Cat also said in Ye Lan's ear when no one was paying attention and ordered what he wanted to eat.

"Okay, let's have some drinks. Beer...Coke, and goat milk?"

Just as they handed their chosen menus to the bartender behind the bar, two figures, one tall and one short, walked in from the direction of the door.

The uniforms they wore, belonging to the Second Association, caused the guests in the restaurant to stop eating instantly. They watched with vigilance and curiosity what they would do next.

"My dear Deputy Section Chief Hannah, are we considered to have been stood up by our client?"

The sturdy man who was over 1.9 meters tall scratched his head, took a menu from the table next to him, and looked at it slowly.
