Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

She yelled—

however.

"Mortis will choose where she belongs."

Hai Ling looked at Xiangzi calmly and said:

"So are we."

“We also choose where we should be.”

"Varied--"

Chuhua nodded.

Miao Meng also laughed.

"No, you--guys--why--"

Xiangzi shook his head.

"Let's go, let's go. We are just brought together by money, interests and desires..."

"What's wrong with that?"

Miao Meng smiled and said:

"In this world, everyone is brought together because of these reasons, right?"

"After all, this is a garbage world. It's full of garbage rules. It's rotten to the core, and there's no cure..."

"We've all had enough of these rules."

"Right?"

She turned around and asked Chuhua and Hailing.

Chuhua smiled softly, and Hailing closed her eyes.

They both nodded.

"I am tired of being angry, and I am tired of being sad. I don't know what to do, and I don't know what I can do. I hurt others out of despair, but hurting others itself makes us desperate."

"Just living in pain. Deceiving myself and finding happiness in misery. Not seeing hope every day."

Miao Meng turned her head and looked at Xiangzi with her eyes revealed from behind the mask.

"Oblivionis, you said you were the leader."

"Haha! I've only seen this word before on the 24-hour-a-day TV screen in the building. They say that [the seven bands] are leaders. Because they are the ones who can give others [dreams]."

“We’re not familiar with any [seven bands].”

"They are too far away, and they have to give too many people dreams. They can only give us too little."

"We only saw you."

"To achieve Hu Lai's mission, risking his life again and again to create opportunities, to advance the Arabian Nights plan..."

"Following you, perhaps, I can really reach the [peak]."

"——Following you, maybe I can really become a [big shot]."

“You gave us [Dreams].”

Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi and said.

"You are the best leader we know."

Boom!

The elevator started shaking again.

The frequency of vibrations is increasing, and the intensity is also increasing——

Chuhua immediately held up the collapsed hole! Hailing controlled the wheel hub, and Miaomeng quickly resisted the command from the interface -

"Oblivionis!"

Miao Meng screamed in the shaking car!

"Don't you always like to say - there is still a chance - there is still a chance - just wait a little longer, the chance will come!"

"We'll wait! Wait for that opportunity!"

“You have to survive!”

"The strong must be strong, and the weak must be weak. To live is to compromise, to accept, to be exploited, to be servile. No matter how low you are, you can never touch the stars at the top—"

"Who on earth made these damn things!?"

"If anyone can destroy them, it's you!"

"Live!"

"Take us with you!"

"Blast through these—damn—rules!!!"

boom!

The strongest impact so far hit the car.

……

Entertainment Building, 18th floor,

The livehouse that has not yet been completed, [colorful], exterior wall.

The disturbance of electromagnetic interference signals became stronger.

However, the team codenamed [Ave Mujica] continues to send messages.

“([Nanorobots] and related software and files have been acquired.)”

"(Temporary issue. We are working on it.)"

"(Estimated evacuation time: 10 minutes later.)"

From Mortis.

Just looking at the information, the problem doesn't seem to be a big deal.

【Ave Mujica】 is still being fought for.

but……

"(Has it been exposed?)"

Other spies that Qiansheng had placed outside the Avex Brain Science Research Base had already confirmed the commotion at the door.

"Let me out!"

"There's an attack inside!"

"Why aren't you open! You corporate dogs!!"

The panicked employees rushed to the main gate of the research base and had a fierce conflict with the armed mercenaries!

Although they didn't know why, the mercenaries were hesitant in suppressing the enemy.

However, the situation has obviously been completely exposed!

"(Is it no longer possible?)"

The operation at [Ave Mujica] was supposed to be evacuated after 5 minutes.

They were delayed for 5 minutes.

After 10 minutes, Yukina Minato's [Hayabusa MZ2] will be within the optimal shooting range of Chisei Shiragi's [Zero Five].

The time just happened to collide.

Too tight.

If [Ave Mujica] can't come out first...

Even if it was just a few seconds, Qiansheng couldn't gamble on the possibility of them leaving safely.

…Now, the reports from Eve and Maya indicate that they have been double-teamed by Roselia.

Once Yukina analyzes that the attack on the research base is related to Pastel*Palettes, Roselia may even open fire first and hold Eve and Maya hostage.

Whether for Cai, Eve, or Maya, Qiansheng must kill Yukina Minato first.

She needs to prepare in advance.

She wouldn't take the risk and wait.

"Attention all units."

Bai Lu Qiansheng announced the turn of events in Pastel*Palettes' brain-computer channel.

"Plan A failed."

"On to Plan B."

……

Roselia's underground livehouse, ground floor.

Rinko Shirogane's hacker workstation, "Fortress".

In the dim room, countless electronic screens flickered.

In between them.

One of the Roselia leaders with mint green hair, guitarist [Sad Metronome] Hikawa Sayo, was sitting there.

"...Is this all blocked...it lasted longer than I thought."

Saya is operating Rinko's workstation, attacking the elevator at the Avex research base.

The elevator with the "rat" in it.

"But, next time will be the last time."

At first, Saya was unfamiliar with Rinko's workstation and was unable to kill the rat quickly and efficiently.

However, now, she has gradually found more and more processes that can be adjusted in parallel to increase the amount of attack data.

"Goodbye."

Sayo typed the last string of instructions.

However, at this moment.

Bang!

The outer gate of the "fortress" was blown open.

Immediately afterwards——

"!"

Bang!

Second sound.

The shotgun bullet grazed Sayo's almost twisted shoulder blade, penetrated the place where she was just now, and hit the screen behind her.

Chapter 700: The Glacier Twins ( Blades Plus)

"!"

Attack!

Sayo rolled on the ground and dodged to the side, reaching for her beloved gun next to her—the kinetic precision rifle named [Picky]—

but.

There is no time for that.

A figure had already appeared in front of her.
