Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"..."

Mu opened his mouth——

Closed again.

"classmate."

Mu said in a low voice.

She gave exactly the same answer as before.

"—"

Su Shi's face was a little uncomfortable.

She is also a classmate, and so am I.

You mean, I'm meddling in other people's business?

"I'm sorry." Su Shi maintained his last bit of politeness and said, "I misunderstood."

She smiled.

"I still have to help with the evacuation. I can't stay long, so I'm leaving now." She added, "It's not safe here, so you two should go home early."

She nodded to Mu and Miao Meng, turned around and left.

"Bye~ Maybe we'll see each other at school~"

Miao Meng waved happily at Su Shi's back.

"...!"

Mu looked in the direction where Su Shi left.

Just now, when Su Shi turned around, Mu saw that Su Shi was not smiling.

Su Shi must have been hurt.

Mu stretched out his hand, wanting to say something——

But what to say?

"..."

Mu said nothing in the end.

She clenched her hands in the air and then put them down.

"Hmm?" Miao Meng noticed Mu's movements, looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Mu was silent.

"Hmm~" Meowth thought for a moment, tapped her cheek with her hand, and said, "Muzi is the same as the boss, the type who has trouble with women, right?"

What are you talking about?

Mu looked up with some doubt.

Miao Meng was about to explain.

But this time...

Beep, beep.

There is information coming into the brain computer.

It was initiated by Hailing and transferred by Chuhua.

[Hai Ling: BCPD has started recording the brain waves of the witnesses. They are digging out the brain images of the people in key positions in the livehouse when the bombing occurred. Should we keep a copy?]

what?

Keep the brain images recorded by BCPD?

Is there such a good thing?

Miao Meng suddenly lost interest.

[Meow Dream: Hey - of course! Brain image - isn't this the Mewtwo master tape? The Mewtwo master tape of the bombing case! It must be very popular -]

【Xiangzi: This is not a matter of money. 】

[Meow Dream: Boss!? Do you still have an account that can be used? ]

[Xiangzi: I connected Chuhua's brain-computer in parallel. Anyway, Hailing, we need that.]

【Xiangzi: How many can you get? 】

[Hai Ling: At most one. 】

【Meow Dream: Just one?】

[Hai Ling: No matter how stupid the BCPD is, they won't let anyone steal important information openly. There are people watching over all the Mewtwo cameras. The risk is huge. If we want to keep one, we can only keep one. And I need someone to help me.]

【Xiangzi: What help do you need? 】

[Hai Ling: I will distract the attention of the people around. In addition to me, the more people who can distract the attention of others, the better - preferably two or three. In addition, another person is needed to access the Chaomeng camera and copy the data. It is best to be Chu Hua, because she has the identity certificate of a BCPD reserve police officer.]

【Meow Dream: Haha! Distracting attention! My favorite job!】

【Xiangzi: You stand by and provide support for Chuhua. I will go and divert the attention.】

[Meow Dream: Ah~ boring~]

【Mu: ...Understood.】

【Xiangzi: Okay, let’s take action. 】

……

The thick smoke has gradually dissipated thanks to the efforts of firefighters.

The night sky returned to its bright red with a rusty tint.

The crowd began to disperse and the evacuees were finally able to rest.

The outermost side of Gate A is the rest area.

"Why……!"

After standing for more than an hour, Li Xi finally sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thanks for your hard work."

A BCPD police officer came over with a Super Dream Camera and placed it on a stool next to Lixi.

"Is it a routine brain imaging?" Li Xi asked.

"Yes." The police officer nodded.

"The kind you want to sleep in?"

“No need,” the officer said. “This is a hippocampal scan.”

A super dream recorder that can complete the entire process while awake.

Among police instruments, it is considered to be relatively advanced.

Lixi will use this.

"Then I'll do it myself." Lixi said, "You guys don't have enough people, right? Go get busy."

"Um……"

The police officer saw Lixi's uniform and nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Li Xi waved his hand.

Watching the police officers walk away, she unplugged the external device of the MewDream camera and connected it to her brain-computer interface.

I didn’t expect the live would end up like this.

Li Xi thought.

I originally wanted to go out for dinner together after it was over.

By the way, after the filming is over, I have to find other people——

"have time?"

"Wow!"

A voice suddenly came from behind, which scared Li Xi.

She turned her head.

Hai Ling put her hands behind her back and looked at her.

"...Why are you still here?" Li Xi raised an eyebrow.

Chapter 159 Episode 1

Why are you still here?

Faced with this question, Hai Ling just looked around.

"Sitting in such a remote place."

Hai Ling said something strange.

She is approaching Lixi.

"There are no other police officers around... not even auxiliary police officers..."

She said slowly:

"Stay like this at the crime scene, it's easy to be attacked, right?"

"What did you say? Haven't the people been caught?"

At first, Li Xi thought Hai Ling was just talking nonsense.

But slowly, she began to feel something was wrong.

Hai Ling was approaching her.

"...Hey, what's wrong with you?" Li Xi asked.

"..."

Hai Ling was silent.

what happened?

Why are you behaving strangely?

Why do you keep your hands behind your back?

What are you holding behind your back?

"Hey, Hai Ling——"

Li Xi noticed something strange.

She took off the external components on the brain-computer interface and sat up.

But not before that.

Hai Ling pulled her hands out from behind her back.

In her hand, she held something - she pressed it against Li Xi's forehead -

"Snapped."

Hai Ling simulated a gunshot with her mouth.

Li Xi felt a cool touch on his forehead.

That's the internal forensic device used by BCPD police academy students.

Hai Ling put the identification instrument on Li Xi's forehead.
