People in Cyber, using skin to create legends

Chapter 37 'Heroic Fantasy'

Seeing Molly's confusion, the cowboy gave an explanation.

"Because this electronic drug is different from other electronic drugs circulating on the market. Do you know what it is called among those drug addicts?"

"what is it call?"

“Heroic fantasy.”

"?"

Molly was stunned.

The cowboy smiled and said:

"It's strange why it's called this, right? In fact, the reason is very simple. For people who take this electronic drug, everything in their eyes will be distorted, and they will think of themselves as heroes who save the world.

"As a hero, it's normal to fight against evil monsters, demon kings, and the like, so you can often see people who take 'Hero Fantasy' running around the streets like crazy.

"Normally, without a proper way to vent, this poison will only make people exhausted and eager to continue inhaling it next time. But if there is a little control, and this method is used to exercise..."

"Then it will become a kind of exercise that, although somewhat detrimental to physical health, can rapidly improve physical fitness?"

Molly asked, taking over the cowboy's words.

The cowboy nodded.

Electronic drugs are different from traditional drugs. They stimulate people's spirit. As long as you master the method, you can use this method to make your body grow.

But since it is a poison, it is definitely harmful, and the harm may not be obvious in the early stages, but once this poison is used for a long time, it will eventually cause damage to your body.

General electronic drugs will eventually turn people into lunatics, turning them into useless people who can only twitch on the ground and crave for it.

But the poison of 'Heroic Fantasy' is different, at least for now.

Jim uses this poison to improve himself while enjoying himself.

“…There is no such good thing in the world.”

Molly said with a frown.

Not only can you enjoy the 'fantasy' that is hard for ordinary people to obtain, but you can also improve your own strength without causing any harm to your body.

If this electronic poison is really that good, then it will not appear as a poison, but will become a strategic-level auxiliary medicine for those major forces.

Molly guessed that there must be some harm, but she didn't know where the harm was so far.

"Whether it's as good as the legend says or not is not important to us," the cowboy said. "We need to use it to get close to Jim now, that's the most important thing."

"How are you going to approach Jim?"

"Jim would trade with gangs in other areas every two weeks. Jim's 'Hero Fantasy' was purchased through that gang."

"so?"

Molly had a vague idea of ​​what the cowboy was going to do.

The cowboy smiled and said, "I will ask Kyoko to hack into the trading gang's network and advance the trading time. By then, Jim will be trading with us."

"To put it simply, we will pretend to be the transaction partner and approach Jim, but I have a few questions."

"You said."

"First of all, Jim will definitely bring a lot of people with him. Are you sure we can deal with them?"

Molly asked the first question first.

The cowboy replied:

"The fact that Jim is taking electronic drugs is actually a secret in the Skeleton Gang. He won't bring too many people with him when the time comes. Moreover, when the transaction is made, the transaction location will be decided by us. We can ambush in advance."

"Okay, second question, this electronic poison shouldn't be cheap, right? We can't just trade one copy of the electronic poison with him. We need many copies, and the price of the electronic poison..."

Molly asked with a frown.

The cowboy smiled mysteriously and asked Molly meaningfully:

"You don't think the electronic poison placed here is real?"

"?"

As soon as these words came out, Molly subconsciously looked at the electronic chip on the table, and then she suddenly realized.

It turns out that the 'Hero Fantasy' placed here is not the real thing, but a replica that looks like the real thing.

The cowboy continued:

"We don't have that much money to buy real electronic drugs, and we don't need to. We just need to use these to trick Jim out, and then we can strike when he inspects the goods."

The plan was simple and it sounded like there was nothing missing. With Molly's strength, as long as Jim didn't have too many modifications and there weren't many people around him, Molly could guarantee to kill Jim in a one-on-one or one-on-many fight.

At worst, it would be a matter of exchanging life for injury. Molly wouldn't die, but Jim would be the one who would suffer in the end.

Although Molly doesn't like this kind of suicide squad-like fighting style.

"last question."

After Jim's matter was settled, Molly continued to ask, "What are you going to do with his family?"

When this question was raised, the cowboy fell silent.

……

In the inconspicuous van on the street, Usami Airi, who was in disguise, was staring at the restaurant.

Her eyes fell on the middle-aged man who was talking to Molly in the restaurant, and there was a dangerous light in her eyes.

“…Pests.”

Usami Airi commented on the man who looked to be dressed in cowboy clothes.

He approached his young lady without permission and deceived her into entering the underground world by posing as his partner.

Although it is unclear when the young lady had her prosthetic body modified, it is obvious that she had done so only for self-protection, and it does not mean that she has any intention of entering the underground world as a mercenary.

However, because of this 'pest', the lady became a mercenary and had to do dangerous things.

To be honest, when Airi knew this, she wanted to go out and chop the cowboy into sixteen pieces immediately, and take the lady home to protect her.

But unfortunately, Airi couldn't do that.

Because the relationship between the young lady and her family was very strained, she was unwilling to accept any help from her family.

If the young lady knew of my existence, she would hate the family and Airi even more.

So even though Airi was very angry now, she couldn't do anything.

"Why not just let him die in a mission?"

Airi gritted her teeth and thought, wanting to kill the pest who was getting close to the young lady.

But soon Airi forgot all this, or rather, temporarily put it behind her.

Because she saw that Molly had walked out of the restaurant.

Under Airi's gaze, Molly quickly walked to the convenience store nearby, bought an umbrella, and then slowly walked out of the convenience store, holding the umbrella and heading towards the subway station.

"Poor young lady..."

Looking at Molly walking towards the subway station with an umbrella, Airi felt very sorry.

When Molly was at home, she would always bring a large group of people with her wherever she went, so things like getting caught in the rain would never happen, because when Molly went out, there would be special people to observe the weather and make corresponding preparations in advance.

It would be better to let Molly take the subway home by herself, something like this would never happen at home.

No matter where Molly goes, she is picked up by a special car.

But now, Molly was walking home alone with an umbrella, and she didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction at all.

While she was relieved that Miss had really grown up, Airi was also a little worried.

If she hadn't been ordered not to expose herself, Airi really wanted to drive up and take the lady home.

After watching the young lady walk to the subway entrance, Airi was about to get off the car and follow her, but suddenly Airi stopped and hid her head behind the cab.

Just at that moment, she felt as if she had met the young lady's eyes.

Chapter 38: Visiting

Molly walked into the subway station, thinking about what the cowboy had told her.

The deal with Jim was a week later, which gave Molly enough time to prepare and a chance to summon a blue skin.

By then, with her new blue skin, Molly should be able to deal with everything more calmly.

But that's not the point.

The focus is still on Jim's family.

Jim's wife, Lydia Hawthorne, is one of the people in charge of the Skull Gang's front-end business, which is not in the red-light district but a red-light bar.

To put it in more common terms, Lydia's job is "madam".

This guy had forced many decent girls to work in his bar. He wasn't a good person, and Molly would have no psychological burden in killing him.

The crux of the problem still lies in the two people's children.

Yager Hawthorne.

Although it is hard to believe, but... this guy Yager can't really be considered a bad guy.

Perhaps Jim and his wife Lydia are very clear about what they have done, so they don't want their son to follow in their footsteps. Or perhaps they just simply want their son to live a normal life, which can more or less avoid some enemies.

In short, no matter what the reason is, although Yager is a little naughty and a little bit rough, just like a normal rebellious teenager, he has indeed not done anything bad.

This is also the source of Molly's entanglement.

The employer's request was to kill the Hawthorn family, but later at the cowboy's request, it became to kill only Jim and his wife.

The son Yager will be brought to his employer for handling.

Molly did not raise any objection at the time. She had been blinded by the reward of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Later, when she heard that she did not have to kill Yag herself, she felt even less psychologically burdened.

He even made excuses for himself, saying that since his parents were like this, his son shouldn't be much better.

As a result, now...the consequences of agreeing too quickly at that time have come.

Molly was caught up in the anxiety of attacking innocent children.

The cowboy told Molly that he didn't need her to do anything before killing Jim.

After all, compared to Jim, the remaining two people's protection is not as strict, it will not be too late to deal with the other two after getting rid of Jim.

If you attack other people first, Jim will become alert, so it is absolutely not possible to attack Jim's family in advance.

But after getting rid of Jim, you can take action against the two others.

During this period, Molly had to find a way to contact Lydia and Yager, gain their trust, and on the day Jim was dealt with, use this trust to trick the mother and son out and deal with them one by one.

When Molly asks how to gain Lydia and Ag's trust, the cowboy gives the answer.

Lydia loves music, and in her bar, everyone else is not treated well, but singers are treated the best.

Molly happens to be a resident singer at Muzi Bar. Even without the support of Muzi Bar, her identity as a singer alone is enough to get close to Lydia.

Once Molly performs very well, Lydia will start to take the initiative to contact Molly. At that time, it doesn't need for the two to have a very good relationship. As long as Lydia thinks of Molly when she needs comfort at critical moments, it will be enough.

After listening to the cowboy, Molly thought of a word.

Honey trap.

Molly is the beauty who wants to deceive Lydia.

Although the 'beauty' here refers to talent.

Molly didn't have much resistance to getting close to Lydia, the knot in her heart was still Yag.

But just like the cowboy said, before accepting the commission, you can do whatever you want, it doesn’t matter if you want to refuse or even want to inform others directly.

But once you accept the commission, you must have your own professional ethics and not go back on your word.

Keeping promises is the only good quality of a mercenary. If even this quality is lost, no one will trust mercenaries anymore.
