Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"Is there also a track for tactile signals?" Xiangzi's face couldn't be any worse, she asked.

"Yes." Miao Meng said, "BCPD's technology is comprehensive, right? What's wrong?"

“Can it be blocked?”

"what?"

"No, it's all right." Xiangzi said, "Just pretend I didn't ask. Keep going."

She pulled the headband back on.

The bright light from the head ring reflector once again brought Xiangzi back to the target scene.

Chapter 163 Film Appreciation

Something that has been lost.

Something that will not be coming back again.

The vagus nerve and sympathetic nerve jump alternately, and a series of fluctuating curves are detected on the cathode ray tube.

These things reminded Xiangzi over and over again of what she wanted to forget.

"..."

Something I want to forget, something I feel now.

They are nothing but the ghost of the past.

Don't worry about it.

Xiangzi calmed himself down.

"(You have more important things to do.)"

she said to herself.

She calmed down.

The play button is pressed.

The picture continued to turn.

It started with the scene where Aine – hugged Tomo.

Inside the stadium, the ground shook due to the explosion.

Above the stage, various microphone stands, instrument stands and speakers fell over.

"Come on!"

Aiyin pulled the lamp and stumbled towards the door.

The ceiling was humming, too—

Bang!

"!"

The ceiling collapsed because the load-bearing steel was blown off!

Huge lighting rigs dropped from above!

The lamp, which was at least three meters long and three meters wide, had a crossbeam and was about to fall on the main viewpoint.

"Don't just stand there!"

A dark shadow rushed out from the side and rear.

It’s Lixi.

She stood in front of Aine and Tomo, and her standard police arm prosthesis emitted white smoke.

Bang!

The side reflector of the lighting equipment collided with Li Xi's hand, making a dull sound.

But it is impossible for Li Xi to handle this huge thing alone.

Click, click.

The tail of the lighting equipment hit the ground and broke through the stage floor.

Thick smoke filled the air all around, and the alloy plates used to build the ground broke and flew everywhere.

"!"

One of the plates grazed Riki’s forehead, and the other pierced into Aine’s side.

"Xiao Ai! Li Xi!"

Lantern yelled.

She touched her lower back - she didn't have a gun - then she began to help Lixi push the light away - it only helped a little -

Crunch.

The main reason was that Lixi pushed the lamp away.

"here!"

"!"

A light blue passage appeared in the artificial eye of the main perspective.

The passage leads through the rising smoke and dust and points to the direction of the emergency exit.

"quick!"

It’s the plain world.

Her face turned pale, but she still made the right decision. She immediately accessed the venue's emergency entrance and exit program and sent it to everyone's brain computer.

"let's go!"

Lixi shouted.

Aine and Deng followed the instructions on the light blue path and ran towards the exit.

At the exit, Sushi and Lenai were already there.

Suyo, Aine, and Deng ran out together. Rakuna didn't move for the time being.

"Go away, wildcat!"

Li Xi behind him pulled Lenai.

The five people left from there and quickly ran outside through Exit A of the venue.

Deng took out the emergency patch he brought with him and provided emergency treatment to Aine and Lixi.

As soon as Li Xi finished receiving treatment, he immediately said, "We are going to provide support." Su Shi also planned to do so. Le Na soon disappeared.

Deng and Aine, who stayed at Exit A, saw the city medical system coming at this time.

The film ends here.

"..."

Xiangzi played it again.

again.

She checked the images over and over again.

Images from the scene.

Every link, every detail.

Will there be any clues?

"(……No.)"

This is first-hand information.

Right on stage, right in front of the bombing.

If you still can't find any clues, then it's not a matter of luck, but your own problem.

"(We must find clues.)"

Xiangzi stared at the film.

Fast forward, pause, rewind, replay.

Xiangzi drags the jump line of Mewtwo's master tape.

Tracks pop up one by one.

This time, probably due to time constraints, MeowMeng's processing of Mewtwo's master tape was not as careful as it was at the Avex Research Base.

She only marked the approximate data flow points and did not highlight important target points.

It's ok.

Xiangzi can do this himself.

Use external equipment to carefully compare different encoding layers.

Frame by frame, second by second——

The image begins.

Aine panted, waving to the audience and making a heart shape with her hands.

"(The audience's faces——)"

Xiangzi scanned the faces of all the audience members.

Some of them have names.

Because Aine, who is the main perspective, knows them.

"(Higaoka's classmate.)"

More, no name.

"(Ordinary audience...)"

Everyone looked excited and thrilled.

Xiangzi connected to the facial lie detector system for panoramic capture.

The three-dimensional scan image of the human face began to slowly emerge.

Then, emotion recognition is performed.

The emotions shown by the audience's facial expressions and body language at this moment are displayed above their heads in percentages.

70% excited, 20% thrilled, 10% moved——

Xiangzi took a quick look.

no problem.

I didn't see any dangerous words like nervous, uneasy, or murderous intent.

"(Meaning, there were no suspects among the crowd.)"

Bombings, especially those involving coordinated actions by multiple people, are often accompanied by indiscriminate shooting.

In fact, Xiangzi thought that there would be at least a few people in the livehouse at the bottom.

The suspects that he saw at the scene being handcuffed by BCPD officers looked mentally shattered, as if they were about to suffer a cyberpsychosis attack.

It is hard to imagine that they could be so "rational" as to detonate the bombs and not carry out other attacks.

"(... [We must destroy].")"

Xiangzi thought about what he heard the suspects who were tortured say outside the venue.

"(What is the goal to destroy?)"

Destroy the venue?
