Cyberpunk, but urban

"Alright, alright. When we get back, we'll teach you how to fight with the weapons from the workshop. If you suddenly attack someone, the leader might get hurt."

Ye Lan said as he checked his ego ring. After he got rid of the erosion state, the ring lit up a little bit of light again.

Although it was not enough for Ye Lan to call upon his ego equipment as usual, it was enough to communicate with the book-like Yellow Springs Train and take them away from the narrow space crack.

As for those passengers who became Ye Lan's victims, he had no other options. He might as well just leave them here and give some advice to Elena in the car further back.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Jenna, are you planning on coming with us, or do you have a way to leave alone?"

Ye Lan took out the book of Yellow Springs Train from his dimensional bag. The light on his ring dimmed again, but the book moved automatically without wind, emitting a softer light and turning pages towards the end.

"Is this the 'book' of the library? Very interesting..."

Jenna looked at the book in Ye Lan's hand, which turned into an imaginary body and fell into the carriage, and gave a comment that was not a compliment. The ticket seller was still not visible in the stone ticket office, only two yellow eyes were swaying back and forth in the black mist.

This time, the conductor handed Ye Lan three tickets at once. The moment he got the tickets, the old steam train instantly passed through the carriage they were in, opened the train doors, and waited for Ye Lan and the others to get on board.

"Ah... this is really hopeless."

Ye Lan sighed, and took Luna's hand and walked into the train. Jenna looked at the twisted passengers with interest. After Ye Lan entered the train, they immediately started fighting. The desires hidden in their hearts were no longer restrained, and they were displayed without any scruples.

"Distortion... It's really a heartbreaking change for us."

Jenna sighed and walked into the carriage of the Yellow Springs Train. The moment she stepped into the carriage, the ghosts in their carriage rushed into the subsequent carriages, as if they were avoiding the threat of their leader.

"It seems that these ghosts don't like you very much." Ye Lan said, but his hands did not stop moving. Having been in once before, he skillfully found the switch to open the front door, pushed open the door and walked towards the driver's cab.

"Wait a moment, I'll go start the car."

After saying that, Ye Lan disappeared among the ghosts in the previous carriage. Little Luna pulled Jenna to sit on the seats on the train. After a while, the Yellow Springs Train started moving.

The carriage that was knocked open by it revealed two large holes, and the storm that had been lingering in the narrow space swept through, swallowing up the twisted passengers inside.

The battle between Ye Lan and Jin Zi Lei Di, which completely disregarded the surrounding situation, left W Company with an unmanageable mess. The train, which had lost its ability to navigate, was lost in the narrow space.

Among the passengers in the car, only Elena can rely on yesterday's appointment to return to the city, and the others... The only fate of the other blood demons is to sign the invitation letter and become cannon fodder for the Symphony Orchestra to test the library.

But that was a story for later. At least in the ten seconds in the city, the cleaning staff of W Company stationed on the platform had not realized that the train would never come back.

Ten seconds later, the Yellow Springs Train penetrated the narrow crack in space and rushed out from a corner of the L-Nest. The speeding train smashed two buildings that were no longer inhabited, and finally stopped among the vehicles left on the city streets.

"It seems that my journey has come to an end here... Ye Lan, have you thought of your 'special' title?"

"... Please spare me the naming." Ye Lan took back the Yellow Spring Train that had turned into a book again, and continued to say to Jenna: "As for the commission, if there is anything that is inconvenient for urban people to do, just entrust me... By the way,"

Ye Lan took out a polygonal metal object from his pocket and threw it to Jenna.

"This thing shouldn't violate the city's taboos, right? Take it to a company to do some research and see if it can be circulated."

"This is?"

"A personal stabilized ion shield is a small item used to defend against bullets in civilizations outside of cities. Although the material that makes up the shield can burn enemies that approach, it should be easy for urban people to penetrate the shield and injure the people inside, right?"

Ye Lan briefly introduced the personal protective equipment produced by the Plasma Technology Company. Both he and the library lacked the ability to conduct serious research. Instead of keeping it as a sticker, it would be better to give it to the leader to find someone to reverse it.

"A shield that is somewhat similar to W Company's charged shield?" Jenna fiddled with the toy, observing the information that could be seen on its surface.

"No, this is the same technological route as those guns... Interesting, this thing might also be a product of the technological vein left by the previous civilization."

Soon, it was not Jenna as an individual, but Jenna as the chief tuner who informed Ye Lan, who had found him, of the assessment of the shield.

However, whether this thing can be handed over to a company for reverse research still needs to be discussed by the leaders. Regaining a lost pre-civilization technology is definitely a good thing, but whether it can be properly used in the city that the leaders have to maintain with great difficulty, rather than simply becoming a tool to destroy humanity, is still a matter of debate.

"It seems like you want to seal it up, Jenna?" Ye Lan said, "Sometimes I really think your leader is too conservative."

Chapter 156. Going Home

"If you were in charge of the city, you would also tend to be conservative. This is the special feature of the city, and has nothing to do with what you and I think in our hearts."

With these words, Jenna ended her chat with Ye Lan, said goodbye to Ye Lan and Luna, and teleported away in front of them.

"Come to think of it... the Tuner lady seemed to say that you might be able to influence the moonstone?"

The two walked towards the Yixiang Office together. According to Luna, during the time when Ye Lan was dealing with the library and the head of the office, she and Yuli had watched the decoration team clean up the entire office. Although the furniture was only the most basic for the time being, at least they didn't have to stay in the hotel all the time.

"Luna, I don't understand~"

The little girl had never heard of what moonstone was. The first time she saw this Singularity Technology product from M Company was on Jenna, in the form of an ornament.

As for the so-called manipulation, it is something beyond Luna's cognition.

"That's really good. We don't need to know everything. It's too tiring." After walking for a while, Ye Lan suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute, where is the Queen of Hatred? I didn't forget her on the Warp Train..."

For a moment, Ye Lan felt like sweat was coming out of his forehead.

"...Ye Lan, it seems like you really should get some sleep," Luna pointed to a milk tea shop behind them. The Queen of Hate was there at the moment, looking at the sign hanging in the shop curiously.

"…You're right, so when did she get in the car with us?"

To be honest, Ye Lan not only forgot about her, he didn't even notice when this girl started following them. In addition to the terrifying erosion caused by overusing the ego ring, it also exhausted his spirit.

Although it was not obvious on the surface, Ye Lan's attention to the surrounding environment had obviously decreased. It was okay in a confined space like the Warp train, but in the vast space of the city streets, he inevitably ignored some information.

"Forget it, I should be fine after a good night's sleep. Come on, let's go buy milk tea for the Queen of Hate."

Ye Lan sighed. After Luna pointed out his mental fatigue, he really felt the fatigue that was hard to ignore...

Unfortunately, I don't know if this tiredness made him ignore one thing. Before Luna said he was tired, although his attention was distracted and he ignored the changes in the Queen of Hate and the surrounding environment for a while, his body didn't feel anything. In other words, it was Luna's words that changed Ye Lan's physical state at the moment, making him show fatigue.

Anyway, Ye Lan couldn't figure out these things at the moment. He pulled Luna into the milk tea shop, got close to the Queen of Hate and asked, "Do you like any milk tea you want to drink?"

"Wow!" The Queen of Hate was startled by Ye Lan like an ordinary little girl. She turned around and found that it was Luna and Ye Lan who had just walked to the front and came back.

"Uh, hey, hey... I don't know what to drink~ I can't understand the words here!~" Although she said these distressed words, the Queen of Hatred's voice sounded very happy.

"That's a shame. In that case, let me help you choose... By the way, Luna, what do you want?"

After a while, three cups of milk tea were placed on a table near the window of the milk tea shop.

Ye Lan's own milk tea is one of the most classic styles, brown sugar pearl milk tea. The brown sugar hanging on the wall of the cup dissolves as the warm milk tea in the transparent cup shakes, forming irregular patterns. Brown sugar crystal balls of the same size are piled at the bottom of the cup, looming in the milk tea.

Luna ordered a glass of lemon coconut juice, which was a mixture of fresh and sweet freshly squeezed lime juice in the rich coconut milk. It was simple but refreshing. A few ice cubes were added to the milky white juice. The cold coconut juice could soothe people's spirits and also allow Luna to have a good sleep after returning to the office.

As for the Queen of Hate, Ye Lan ordered a chestnut mud brulee thick milk tea for her. A thick layer of chestnut mud was piled at the bottom of the milk tea, and the crisp crystal balls were hidden in it. The milk tea with thick milk was softer and smoother than other styles, and on the top of the milk tea was a complete layer of brulee sauce milk cap.

This abnormal entity now completely behaved like a little girl. Although the ingredients of the milk tea were not expensive or luxurious, it was a wonderful taste that she had never tasted before.

Ye Lan hadn't even finished half of the milk tea in his cup when the drinks in Luna and the Queen of Hate's cups were already empty. He lazily watched the two little girls playing some little games between girls, and slowly savored the remaining milk tea in his cup.

During this leisurely time, there was someone who didn't want Ye Lan to enjoy the afternoon peacefully.

When the milk tea in Ye Lan's cup was also empty, three burly men wearing a bunch of miscellaneous workshop jewelry walked into the milk tea shop.

The leader did not look at the boss who was smiling awkwardly and at a loss, but walked straight to Ye Lan's dining table, pulled over a chair and sat next to him and the two little ones.

"Hey, you should know who I am, right? I heard that you went to the library with that son of a bitch Walter?"

The burly man sitting next to Ye Lan at this moment was the leader of the Stray Dogs gang, Jing Mei.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Ye Lan yawned, not taking him seriously at all. This guy was just the leader of a small gang with a small subordinate, with some strength and influence, but not much.

"That guy Walter died in the library. Why are you still alive? Did he tell you anything? Is there anything he wants you to do?"

Jing Mei asked a series of questions impatiently, and smashed his fist, which was strengthened by tattoos, on the table. The cups that Ye Lan and the other three had just finished drinking and were still on the table were knocked to the ground and shattered.

"I'm very tired now and don't have time to play with you... That guy didn't tell me anything, you can leave now." Ye Lan glanced at Jing Mei and then said, "Or do you plan to be beaten out?"

Sitting opposite Ye Lan, who was completely ignored by Jingmei and his two trusted men, Zulu and Dino, the Queen of Hate had already grasped her staff eagerly.

"What the fuck did you say?!"

Jingmei was about to lose her temper on the spot. She stood up and swung her fist at Ye Lan.

Chapter 158. Without even a moment's mourning for the molar, the person who arrived immediately was...

"Huh? It turns out to be someone who knows us."

Roland said this to Angelica while carrying Durandal towards the three people from the Molar Office. Angelica, who was holding a piece of Zelkova Workshop equipment in one hand, also walked towards Olga and the other three.

Olga's headache and dizziness were gone in an instant due to the terrifying aura. Facing two opponents who were at least first-level finishers, her brain was thinking of countermeasures with unprecedented efficiency.

Ryan and Mika were holding their weapons, their backs soaked with cold sweat. Although they didn't know what Charles's firm was like, their eldest sister stayed where she was as if she had a genetic mutation, instead of charging at the enemy as usual, which was enough to prove a lot.

"Miss..."

Mika swallowed, looking very nervous.

"Those two are at least level one. I'll try to hold them back, and you guys can find a chance to escape..."

Olga took a deep breath, and after exhausting all her combat experience and inspiration, she finally had to admit that facing two fully armed First Order finishers, she had no way of letting the three of them escape alive.

"Big sister, you?!"

Ryan shouted in surprise. He had never seen Olga, the big sister, so timid. A trace of haze emerged in his heart. It was very likely that the three of them would die here together today.

"Ryan... sis, the door we came in through has disappeared."

Mika subconsciously turned back to look for a way to escape, but she saw nothing. The door they had passed through when they entered the room seemed to have never appeared, and only a complete wall remained there. It was abrupt, but it effectively blocked all possible escape routes.

"I'm so sorry, it seems that the decision to come in here was really a mistake... Ren, Mika, if we really have to die here today, let me go first."

After abandoning the unrealistic idea of ​​stalling for time alone and letting Ryan and Mika escape, Olga seemed to have regained her courage.

Or maybe it's the responsibility of being the big sister.

Under the gaze of her two younger brothers and sisters who were like family members behind her, Olga even had the illusion that she was invincible for a moment, but the illusion was only an illusion because it was actually vulnerable.

This futile charge was sometimes equivalent to an escape because he didn't want to see his children die before him. Roland just parried and slashed two or three times as if playing, and Olga fell to the ground lifeless.

Then, under the sorrowful gazes of Ryan and Mika, it turned into a golden book emitting a radiant glow.

"Here... do people turn into books after they die?"

Mika murmured, following behind Ryan who rushed towards Roland, and attacked him together. At this moment, both of them forgot that in addition to Roland, there was another enemy in the reception room - Angelica.

"You... losing someone you love is a very sad thing, but if you lose your composure on the battlefield, you will lose even more."

Angelica's sigh and the two weapons in her hands entered the minds of Ryan and Mika at the same time. The hammer and the battle axe hit the two people's heads at a speed far beyond their appearance, causing the two young people to fall to the ground at the same time. They didn't even have a chance to say their last words, and they turned into new books together with Olga.

"Oh, it's rare that someone knows about us...Aren't we being a little too cruel?" Roland asked Angelica while picking up books.

After dispersing the mace, spear, and battle axe, Angelica asked Roland, "Roland, do you still care about this?"

"After all, it's in front of you..."

After collecting the books of the three people from the Molar Office, Roland and Angelica also left the reception room through the door that appeared again. Angela did not wait at the door as usual. The couple returned to the director's office with the books, a little confused.

There, new images about the guests' experiences before entering the library were playing, and in the same place as the images of the three people from the Molar Office, there was the Queen of Hate who was also beating up someone.

"This is too coincidental... Ye Lan and his friends should have just returned from the Warp train not long ago, and this new guest has taken the initiative to come to ask for a fight."

This is Hod's comment on the video. In the video, three high-ranking members of the Bereaved Dogs gang, led by Jingmei, are being chased by the Queen of Hate, an abnormality with the appearance of a cute girl.

Magic bullets in the shape of stars and hearts were continuously fired from the front end of the Queen of Hate's staff, forcing Jingmei and the other two to run away in panic, and even had to dodge some of the bullets while holding their heads, which posed a greater threat.

"What the hell is this kid... Dino, Zulu, this is not a solution."

Jingmei said to the two people who were running with him.

"Ha, ha, Jingmei, if you could be more patient, we wouldn't have to run for our lives here now..."

Zulu responded to Jingmei's words breathlessly. If he had not thrown that punch at the closer of the Weird Agency in the milk tea shop, the three of them would have gone to the library to look for the lost L-Nest engineering drawings of Walter who was dead.

“Zulu, stop talking, ha, ha, Jingmei, if you have any ideas, just do it quickly.”

Dino advised. They had been running for more than two hours. They had to dodge the girl's continuous attacks like magic bullets in cartoons, and pay attention to the surrounding environment. Even with the enhanced tattoos on his body, he couldn't hold on any longer.
