Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

There is more than one.

It has been confirmed that "dolls" are real.

But what exactly are these “puppets”?

Is it a human?

Is it a ghost?

Is it a bionic man, a robot, a sex doll, AI...

Or even a roving AI that escaped from behind the black wall! ?

Everyone guessed the possibilities.

But no one can give an accurate answer.

In the City of Music, news comes and goes quickly.

Questions without answers are always easily forgotten.

Just when everyone thought that this [Ghost Music] incident would just end like that...

There has been new progress in this matter.

The day after Xiao Ai’s accident, a live streamer from a ghost-hunting channel called [OV Channel] went to the mansion where Xiao Ai discovered the puppet killing people.

He found a glass display case in the lobby of the mansion.

There was also a wooden box and a black envelope in the display cabinet.

No matter how you look at it, someone returned to this mansion after the incident and left the things here.

The live streamer tried to smash the display cabinet, but then he felt the signal from his brain-computer began to deteriorate and "an indescribable burning pain appeared in his brain."

Some viewers thought that it was the pain caused by the hacking of the brain-computer sensor, but before they could say this, the anchor was so scared that he ran away immediately.

But of course he wasn't the only one who went to the mansion.

Like vultures smelling a corpse, all the big and small anchors who wanted to become famous overnight rushed here.

But the host of [OV Channel] who came to the mansion later discovered that the glass display case - along with the things inside, were gone.

Only a card with a mysterious pattern was left.

On the back of the card it reads:

[The box and the letter have been sent to a corner of this world].

……

late at night.

City of joy.

An abandoned mansion hidden somewhere.

By the window, the screen of a mobile phone was dimly lit.

On the phone, the live streamer's loud voice was playing:

“【——I came here immediately after seeing the live broadcast! This place is very remote——I am sure I didn’t see anyone else on the road!——】”

"[——This is a Cyber Ghost! No, it's the Lizardman from the Centaur Galaxy——]"

"Haha, what do you mean by 'didn't see anyone else'?"

There was a chuckle from behind.

"On our way back, there was a car coming every now and then, all heading towards that western-style house!"

The phone was put down. White light illuminated Xiangzi's face and upper body.

Xiangzi was wearing a black mask with carved patterns on it, and a black and red Gothic-style performance dress.

She turned her head slightly and looked at the person who had just chuckled and talked.

It’s a meow dream.

Miao Meng was wearing a mask and a Gothic-style performance costume.

It's not just Meow Dream.

Beside Miao Meng.

Chuhua.

Sea bell.

Harmony.

Everyone was dressed for a performance and stood quietly in the dark.

"These guys just like to exaggerate!" Miao Meng pointed at the video with his chin and laughed, "One or two of them didn't tell the whole truth... It would be a miracle if the public could guess what happened!"

"Now it seems that thanks to the synthetic shielding material mask that Mu brought," Xiangzi said, "it is enough for us to prevent ordinary people from scanning out their identity information."

“……” Despite the compliments, Mu just stood there in silence.

"Haha~ YouTube is now all our business!" Miao Meng laughed, "It's much more famous than MyGO!!!!! and the like, right?"

"You are still competing." Hai Ling said lightly.

Chu Hua just smiled.

"This is just the beginning." Xiangzi said, "The next part is the key point."

……

Ave Mujica's ultimate goal is to become a first-rate band that can stand on equal footing with the seven bands - or at least the two new bands from Reclamation Place.

To do this, one needs the strength of the underworld and the reputation of the white world to seize the critical period of the construction of Phase 2 of the reclamation land and take control of the place.

Originally, the matter was under control because of Ave Mujica's life-threatening fight in the [Nanorobot Theft Mission].

But unexpectedly, due to an accident, Ave Mujica was framed and came into conflict with Hello, Happy World!, one of the five major groups and arguably the most troublesome enemy of the City of Joy.

Ave Mujica, is now being hunted by Hello, Happy World!

Therefore, there is no way to operate openly anymore.

The plan to expand its strength has therefore come to a standstill.

...There is a misunderstanding here.

Xiangzi realized this after watching the movie "Ghost Plays Music".

Reputation needs to be accumulated under the name of [Ave Mujica].

But why do we have to tell others it is [Ave Mujica] first and then create a reputation?

Reputation can exist independently of the individual.

Just like the MyGO!!!!! show.

At the beginning, no one knew what the members of MyGO!!!!! were going to do, and their band didn’t even have a name.

However, it was this "curiosity" that focused attention on them and made them famous overnight.

It's magical, but not weird.

[No one knows who they are or what they are doing] is the winning weapon of MyGO!!!!!

Because I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know whether it will be related to my own interests.

Those bands that would drag down developing bands and prevent them from rising failed to react. Those management companies that would swallow up young people who are working hard also waited and watched and did not enter the market.

Only the audience's eyes are watching them.

There are no enemies, only supporters.

There is no obstacle, only energy that is constantly compressed and then explodes in an instant...

This made the time it took for MyGO!!!!! to go from emerging to becoming an overnight sensation very, very short.

It was so short that no one had time to do anything.

This makes them the only popular student band in this capital jungle.

[No one knows who they are or what they are doing].

This sentence blocked all enemies and attracted all attention.

This is the best spear and shield.

This is the weapon that made MyGO!!!!!! famous in the white world.

MyGO!!!!! Got it by accident.

"..."

To be honest, knowing everything about MyGO!!!!! made Xiangzi feel extremely painful.

Staring at those videos, those articles, those familiar faces——

Memories of the past were dragged out from the deepest part of my mind over and over again.

"(If I were there.)"

Xiangzi thought of this sentence over and over again. She didn't want to think about this kind of thing pathetically, but she had to think about it because she wanted to analyze it in depth.

Xiangzi gritted his teeth and accepted it all.

She didn't stop for these innocent reasons.

She stared at MyGO intently, neither running away nor hiding.

She is returning from the dead with Ave Mujica.

So, she wouldn't blink even once.

Xiangzi stared at MyGO!!!!! The reason for its fame.

Analyze it, understand it.

at last.

She learned it.

That phrase that used to be a MyGO!!!!! weapon.

[No one knows who they are or what they are doing].

just now.
