People in Cyber, using skin to create legends

Molly recalled what Sister Muzi had said to her and roughly guessed why the other party came to see her.

He probably wants to get himself into some entertainment company and become an idol or something like that.

But sorry, Molly doesn't have any such thoughts. She goes on stage to sing just to satisfy her desire to perform and relax herself.

Now songs are just a means for Molly to relax herself, not a dream anymore.

As for why I don’t want to join an entertainment company but still want to use skins to show myself and attract attention…

Is the person who asked this question an idiot? There is no reason at all. I just want to try it out if I find the right skin to make myself feel good.

No matter what, you can't let yourself down, right? Molly's singing is her own problem. It's the other people who come and cause trouble for you just because you sing well that have problems, okay?

Saying that using your skin to sing will bring trouble, it is better not to sing... This is like telling girls that wearing revealing clothes will attract bad people, so it is better to dress more conservatively.

This is completely ridiculous!

Showing off one's charm and making oneself feel happy is something everyone does. Why should one blame the victim just because it will attract the attention of others...

All in all, Molly didn't think she had done anything wrong, and for the same reason she wouldn't go to meet the agent from the entertainment company.

…She seemed to claim to be a talent scout.

Of course, Molly thought so because she felt that if it was just an entertainment company, it wouldn't cause her much trouble.

If she really provokes a powerful enemy who is extremely difficult to deal with, Molly will definitely keep a low profile and act like an ostrich, burying herself in the sand to avoid anyone's attention.

And at the same time, take back the seemingly righteous words just now.

After all, she is still afraid of death.

Ignoring the noise outside, Molly, who was resting backstage, soon received a call from Cowboy.

Only a few hours had passed since Molly came to work at the bar, and the cowboys seemed to have found information related to Jim from the Skeleton Gang.

From this point of view, the cowboy is quite capable, and Molly's impression of him has slightly changed.

Although the strength is still very weak.

“…Are you off work yet?”

As soon as the call was connected, the cowboy asked Molly in a slightly unfriendly tone.

Maybe it was because Molly was singing leisurely here, while the cowboy had to run around outside in the rain, which made him feel a little unbalanced.

Thinking that she had enjoyed singing just now, Molly was generous enough not to argue with the cowboy.

"It's... off work, I guess. Although it's not my usual off-get off work time, I don't have any shows after this."

"If you're fine, come over. The location is at the restaurant that I agreed to meet with my employer. I found something useful and I'll talk to you about it."

"OK."

Molly answered casually and hung up the phone.

Normally this time is not the time to get off work. Although there is not much time for performances, Molly and other resident singers still have to be on standby backstage because old customers occasionally spend a lot of money to order songs.

Until it's time to get off work.

But now Molly doesn't have so many restrictions.

Sister Muzi has already told Molly that her salary as a resident singer here will be calculated on an hourly basis, that is, she will get paid as long as she works.

You can go to work whenever you want and leave work whenever you want.

If you encounter any troubles, it’s okay not to come.

Just come over and sing a song or two once in a while.

Of course, the original condition was not this. Sister Muzi just gave Molly three times her previous salary and promised to find a place for Molly to live.

But perhaps it was because Molly had acted too much on the stage just now, Sister Muzi came over and talked to Molly again, and allowed Molly to leave the bar now.

After all, Molly's main job now is no longer a resident singer, but a new mercenary who has just entered the underground world.

After saying hello to Sister Muzi, Molly left through the back door of the bar.

Before leaving, Molly could vaguely hear the scout's relentless shouting.

She seemed to really want Molly to meet her.

But to be honest, this kind of relentless pursuit actually made Molly a little scared, so after thinking it over, Molly decided to just give up.

Right now, business is more important.

Chapter 36 Electronic Poison

The restaurant that I agreed to meet with the cowboy was a very ordinary restaurant on a marginal street in District 22.

It looked a bit old on the surface, and the neon sign above was dim in several places. It seemed that the restaurant owner had no intention of repairing it.

Maybe you don't plan to waste your money elsewhere.

The restaurant is not very big and there are no private rooms, so it is not suitable for discussing private topics.

But Cowboy seemed to like this place very much. He said that he would come here to eat something whenever he had time, and sometimes he would buy some food back for his daughter.

So he usually meets with his employer here, apparently to promote the food here.

If Molly hadn't been sure that Cowboy had nothing to do with the owner here and was just an ordinary friend, Molly would have guessed whether Cowboy had some shares in this restaurant.

It was the same today. After completing the investigation, the cowboy went to the restaurant immediately, ordered a hamburger and a Coke, and sat there waiting for Molly.

By the time Molly came over, he had already finished two burgers.

"You're so slow."

After getting to know Molly better, the cowboy wasn't as polite as before.

When the cowboy wanted to protect Molly before, he really treated Molly as a protected object, or even as a little girl.

But after going through so much and witnessing Molly's practice of shooting and fighting, he really couldn't connect Molly with the child.

That’s why I have this attitude now.

Molly didn't care. The other party's equal attitude made Molly feel at ease.

Molly would feel a headache if she was always treated as a little girl by the other party.

"It was raining, so we were delayed on the road."

Molly glanced at her half-wet clothes and said.

This was the result of her taking a taxi the entire way here, with only a few raindrops falling when getting on and getting off the taxi. If she had taken the subway as before, Molly's body would probably have been soaked by now.

The weather in the City of Chaos is not particularly good. It rains about half of the year.

Sometimes it is light rain, and a few times it is heavy rain.

Today was bad luck as it was raining heavily. The cowboy started raining in the middle of his investigation and his leather coat was covered with rain.

Glancing at the cowboy's miserable leather coat hanging on the side, Molly reflected for a moment on the fact that she had left all the work on the cowboy, and then asked:

"You investigated so quickly? What did you find out?"

The cowboy swallowed the last bite of the hamburger, wiped his mouth casually, took another big gulp of Coke, burped, and said:

"Jim Hawthorne's movements were simple. He would go back and forth between home and work. Sometimes he would go to school to pick up his children, but that was it."

"Compared to Mike, his movements are indeed very simple, but a little troublesome..."

Molly judged so.

Mike, who was killed by Molly, had a very chaotic trajectory of actions.

Sometimes he would follow his younger brothers around to collect protection fees, sometimes he would stay in the Skeleton Gang's territory, and sometimes he would have fun in bars.

Because he was with the Skull Gang most of the time and rarely went home, Molly would venture to the bar.

But this thug named Jim is different.

His status seemed to be much higher than Mike's. He had his own independent territory which he had complete control over, and his family had enough money to send his children to school.

Apart from fighting, they don't do anything stupid on weekdays, and they only go to places like bars for social events.

Apart from the fact that he was a thug for the Skeleton Gang and had caused many people to lose their homes, either openly or covertly.

Just looking at his movements, if you don't know him, you would think he is a successful office worker.

But this kind of life between two points also made Cowboy and Molly feel troubled.

The Skeleton Gang controlled by Jim has a large number of people. They are not comparable to Mike, who is just a small leader but actually has some small thugs under his command.

And Jim's forces are equipped with many large thermal weapons, such as rifles, submachine guns, and even snipers.

So it is almost impossible to kill Jim by force in this place.

So it's OK at Jim's house?

Unfortunately, that doesn't work either.

Jim's home is in a high-end apartment in the center of District 22, which is even more upscale than the one Molly lives in.

Not to mention the fully automatic security, there are hackers monitoring everything in the apartment at all times to ensure the safety of the owners.

There are also many bodyguards arranged by the Skeleton Gang in Jim's own home.

Including his wife and children.

It is because Jim knows how many evil things he has done that he arranges such a large-scale security for himself and his family.

He was also worried that someone would come seeking revenge.

Just like Molly and Cowboy's current employer.

"Normally, we don't have the opportunity to contact Jim..."

The cowboy said this, as if he wanted to keep the audience in suspense, and he remained silent for a long time.

Molly looked at him with disdain and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Tsk, you should ask me now."

"..."

Molly's emotionless eyes fell on the cowboy.

"Hey, okay, okay, I said it." The cowboy raised his hands in surrender, then took out a very small thing that looked like a phone card and put it on the table, "Do you know what this is?"

"do not know."

"This is a new type of 'electronic poison' that has become popular recently. It is very popular among those who have biochips implanted in their bodies."

Hearing the cowboy say this, Molly straightened up immediately.

Electronic drugs are different from normal drugs. They are a new type of drug developed under the background of this world.

By implanting one's own biochip and adjusting the bioelectric current inside the biochip, one can stimulate the human brain nerves and achieve an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect.

This virus does no harm to the human body itself, but it is extremely harmful to the human brain. Once you experience this feeling, few people can get rid of it.

Because Molly did not have a biochip implanted, she had only heard about these things.

This is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.

"This electronic poison...what does it have to do with our current mission? Could it be that Jim..."

"Yes, that's the one."

The cowboy snapped his fingers.

Molly frowned. "If he really smoked this stuff, how could he become a thug for the Skull Gang?"

Don't think that Molly really knows nothing.

Even if it is just electronic drugs, if you take too much, it will affect your body.

The reason why it is said to be harmless to the body is only because this poison is not like normal plant poisons and chemical poisons that destroy the internal organs of the body.

But if you are too addicted to it and neglect eating and sleeping, it is just exercise, and your body will become decadent.

If Jim really took this stuff, his body would definitely not be able to maintain its current strength.

There is absolutely no way he could become a thug for the Skeleton Gang.

This is also what's strange about Molly.
