Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

But the conversation now, definitely.

Li Xi didn't want to stay here any longer. She turned around and opened the door.

"Lixi."

When Lixi walked out of the room, Hailing called her again.

"……what happened again?"

Li Xi turned back unhappily.

She was soaked and the wind made her very cold. She just wanted to go back to her room and take another bath.

Hailing tapped her own cheekbone.

Hai Ling's artificial eye lit up at some point.

"Adrenaline goes up, dopamine goes up, thyroid hormone goes up..."

Hai Ling looked at Li Xi and said:

"Sorry, it seems to be my fault. Do you want me to help you fix it?"

"Varied--"

Li Xi's face immediately turned red.

"What—I didn't—I can do it myself—No! It's none of your business!"

Bang!

Li Xi slammed the door heavily.

Then, there was another "bang"!

Li Xi slammed the door of his room again.

Hailing blinked.

There were angry footsteps coming from the next room.

"..."

Hai Ling smiled softly.

Li Xi had already left, but Hai Ling was still leaning against the wall with her arms folded.

Chapter 135: An Ordinary High School Girls’ Gathering at a Family Restaurant

When Xiangzi entered the family restaurant in the night, she saw that her teammates had already arrived.

Chuhua, Miaomeng and Hailing sat in harmony on the soft sofa in the corner.

"Xiao Xiang."

It seems that Chuhua is always the first to discover himself.

She waved.

Miao Meng, who was eating spaghetti with meat sauce and talking to Chu Hua, also noticed it.

"Wow, Boss, Yuqiu is pretty close to here... Why are you the last one?"

She said with a grin.

"Higaoka finishes school later than Tsuki-no-mori," Shoko said, walking over to everyone's table.

Mu was drinking a drink. She looked at Xiangzi and naturally made way for him to sit inside.

Hailing, who was sitting next to Mu, stood up more naturally and let Xiangzi sit between her and Mu.

Hai Ling seemed to have just finished taking a shower and came from home, and the ends of her hair were still a little wet.

Xiangzi nodded to Hailing.

She sat in and changed the brain-computer conversation mode from [external speaker] to [face-to-face privacy].

In this way, the conversation will directly enter the other person's brain through brain wave signals.

This is a conversation mode used at close range.

The electric sound will be a bit heavy... but it will be almost impossible to monitor.

It is a very common way of communication when facing people you can trust.

Xiangzi's action marked the beginning of the conversation.

Chuhua, Miaomeng and Hailing looked at her in harmony.

No one said anything.

However, they all switched modes without making a sound.

"Boss, would you like some pasta?"

Meow Dream rolled up the sticky spaghetti and smiled.

There was some electrical noise in her words.

"I think the pasta here is good! Authentic... but not enough basil!"

"They are all pre-prepared dishes," Hai Ling said. "What you eat is not real basil, but synthetic basil flavor."

"Don't say this when others are eating!" Miao Meng pretended to be angry.

"Xiaoxiang, what do you want to eat?" Chuhua asked.

"All is fine." Xiangzi replied.

"Have some of this meatball lasagna!" Meow Meng said, "I just wanted to try it!"

"Do you want the boss to bite you or shoot you?" Hai Ling said lightly, swiping the menu on the table.

"Hey, why are you so prickly today?" Miao Meng frowned, "You are 30% more aggressive than before! Just because I watched you take a shower? Come on, I'm very polite, okay? I didn't even turn on the artificial eye to scan--"

"It's a good thing you didn't open it." Hai Ling said.

"Are you the one who feels 'lucky', or am I the one who feels 'lucky'... I'm a little panicked..."

Miao Meng shrank back against the wall.

Next to him, Chuhua ordered cheese baked rice for Xiangzi.

Hailing, Mu and Chuhua, who had not eaten yet, also ordered.

All three of them basically just ticked the boxes down the menu.

The food was served quickly.

Without thinking, you know it’s definitely not made by the chef from start to finish.

However, these are not the point.

"It's time to get down to business."

Xiangzi said to everyone.

Chuhua and Miaomeng looked at her.

Hailing and Mu, who were sitting on the side, remained silent.

"Why don't you eat something, do some homework, chat about gossip, and then talk about business...like real high school girls do?"

Meow Meng chuckled.

Chu Hua patted her shoulder and signaled her to be serious.

"Is everything settled?" Xiangzi asked.

Chuhua, Miaomeng and Mu all nodded.

Hai Ling didn't move at first, but then she slowly nodded.

"Then let's talk about the next course of action." Xiangzi said.

She clasped her hands together and placed her forearms on the table.

"I'll just put it bluntly," she said.

"We have three things to do now."

"First, find the murderer who killed J."

“Second, monitor the completion of Phase 2 of the new land reclamation project.”

“Third, build up the reputation of the band [Ave Mujica].”

Xiangzi looked around at his teammates.

“The first point is to solve the current problem.”

“The second point is to ensure that you can confirm when opportunities arise.”

"The third point is to gain strength."

“We urgently need to do these three things.”

Xiangzi said.

“First, the first issue.”

"Find out who killed J."

"This is a very troublesome problem. Because J and we were both attacked at the junction of Michelle Park and Reclamation New Land Phase 2."

"That's the territory of Hello, Happy World!"

"We are under threat from Hello, Happy World! and cannot appear openly. Therefore, we cannot go near there."

“This has greatly limited our exploration of the local area.”

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Xiangzi asked.

Hailing raised her hand.

"Hai Ling." Xiangzi said.

"Investigate J's family background and interpersonal relationships." Hai Ling said, "Hello, Happy World!'s territory only has Michelle Paradise, and there are no residential areas. He can't live there."

"As long as we can find out from the people he used to socialize with who he might mess with, we'll have a rough idea of ​​who he might mess with."

"Ha, I already have a general direction!" Miao Meng said with a smile.

Everyone looked at her.

"Didn't that guy say that he 'bought a few streets'? He saw through the idea that Michelle Park Phase 2 would be changed to Reclamation Land Phase 2, and he encouraged the implementation of this matter!" Miao Meng spun the fork in his hand, "The most dangerous things in this world are rhinos, laser welding, combine harvesters, and...profits!"

"I think that guy was killed for profit!" Miao Meng said with a grin.

"I think so too," Chu Hua said, "Someone has set their sights on Reclamation New Land Phase 2. So, J, who bought a large amount of assets, was killed by them."

Xiangzi nodded.

"There are three possible motives for this enemy," said Xiangzi.

"The first one is that he knew about J's purchase of a store and decided on a whim. He killed J in order to get the deposit back from him."

"The second possibility is that he knew about J's purchase of a store and was his competitor. He killed someone in order to take the store away from him."

"The third option is to know that J supports the transformation of Michelle Park Phase 2 to Reclamation New Land Phase 2. In order to stop this plan, kill the supporters of this plan."

"Which one do you think it is?" Xiangzi asked everyone.

"I hope it's the first or the second one!" Miao Meng put his hands behind his head, leaned back on the sofa, and said:

"After all, the first type is a higher-level gangster!"

"The second type is the local tyrants who want to do small things under the arrangement of the [Seven Bands]. They have some ability, but not much."

"I don't want it to be the third one!"

"Hello, Happy World! But we support the transformation of Reclamation New Land Phase 2! All seven bands support it! If it's the third one... then it means that the person who killed J is seriously trying to go against the seven bands!"

Miao Meng clicked his tongue.
