Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

this location.

Xiangzi paused, rewound, and played it again.

"..."

Shoko's attention was focused on the lead guitarist of MyGO!!!!!, named Kaname Rakuna.

The cat-like girl stood at the exit, neither panicking nor running away immediately.

She kept staring in one direction.

"(What is she looking at?)"

Xiangzi retreated and retreated again.

Rewind from the exit to the time before you leave the stage.

Following the direction of Le Nai's sight, pull out the extension cord -

The end point of the extension cord is a large hole caused by the fall of the lighting device on the top of the stage.

Lenai is looking deep into the cave?

Xiangzi focused the Mewtwo lens there.

enlarge.

Zoom in again.

Xiangzi saw something worrying.

There were several shadows deep in the big hole.

Even though the distance was far and there was smoke and dust everywhere, Aiyin's complex plug-in system still determined that those shadows were people.

Almost all of them were injured. Some people had very poor physical signs - they should be the dead people mentioned in the notice -

And around these people.

"..."

Xiangzi noticed that the scanning camera found something else.

Those were fragments of some metal instruments.

There were many fragments, scattered and blown in all directions—

But judging by the quantity, it turns out that there must be a large electronic device there.

……

Is there a large device on the ceiling of the livehouse?

The lighting and venue effects will not be placed in that position.

Xiangzi didn't think it was some kind of performance hall installation.

Now, that thing has been blown to pieces.

Even with Aine’s electronic equipment, there was no way to analyze what it was.

Xiangzi finished the screening of Mewtwo's master tape and took off the tungsten steel headband from his head.

"Boss, you've been watching for a long time!" Miao Meng handed her a mint sniffing board to relieve the symptoms of hypersomnia, and said, "Did you find anything?"

"Those rock youths." Xiangzi took the mint sniffing board, took a deep breath, and said, "They are not going to use bombs to carry out terrorist attacks."

"They got the yield wrong—they didn't notice it—and killed two of their own men."

Xiangzi said.

"They were actually trying to blow up some electronic equipment on the ceiling."

Chapter 28: It's not just the murderer who will return to the crime scene ( rewards plus more)

When the rock youths were arrested, they shouted that someone wanted to kill them.

Therefore, they "must be destroyed".

When they say "must be destroyed", I'm afraid they are referring to this large electronic device.

Before exiting Mewtwo, Shoko checked Aine's brain machinery.

indeed.

After the explosion, there was no more popping sound in her brain.

The kind that was accompanied by explosive sounds didn't seem like a brain-computer attack from a hacker...

Was it this large electronic device that did it?

"(Very likely.)"

"Hai Ling, take a look too."

Xiangzi gave brief instructions.

She handed the tungsten steel Mewtwo headband to Hailing.

"Ok."

Hai Ling put on the headband.

Meow Meng assisted her in setting it up.

Amid the beeping sound of the instruments connected, Xiangzi sat there quietly, sorting out his thoughts.

Large electronic equipment was placed on the ceiling of the livehouse.

This large device launched a brain-machine attack during MyGO!!!!!'s concert.

MyGO!!!!!'s Chihaya Aine felt this attack.

"(But it's the same feeling we had in Michelleland, very weak.)"

Xiangzi thought.

The attack she received was not very strong.

In fact, it was weaker than the attack that Xiangzi and others suffered at that time.

None of them caused slight protein denaturation.

To the point where it will almost be ignored.

The rock youths who caused the explosions seemed even more anxious—almost driven to cyber-psychosis—

"..."

Xiangzi carefully pondered the key to this.

After a while.

Hailing took off the tungsten steel Mewtwo headband from her head.

"Oh!" Meow Meng cried, "You can see much faster than the boss!"

"Really?" Hai Ling said, "Maybe it's because Xiangzi has marked out the key points."

Miao Meng took the headband and said, "Let me see what the boss marked?" and put it on his head.

She wore it sideways, connecting only one eye.

This is an irregular way of wearing the Mewtwo headband, which allows people to see Mewtwo and reality at the same time... However, it can easily cause semicircular canal disorder.

But obviously, as a skilled Black Mewtwo maker, Meowtwo has become accustomed to this irregular way of wearing the headband.

"it is good."

Xiangzi crossed his arms and sat up straight.

"Let me first state my conclusion," she said.

She held out a finger.

"First, the members of MyGO!!!!! heard a noise with an explosion."

"I think that's the same noise we heard when we were attacked at Mitchell Land."

Hai Ling nodded.

"The audio matches." Hai Ling said.

"That's right," Xiangzi said, "and then, I think this sound was caused by a hacker attack from some large electronic device that was once placed on the ceiling of RiNG."

"Boss, are you talking about the small area you marked?" Miao Meng said, "I also suspect there is a problem there! Over there, the metal probe index is very high - I think it exceeds the normal value!"

Miao Meng said with a smile, "Although why does this main perspective need a metal probe indicator plug-in?"

“Someone hid something there?” she said. “And these rockers are going to blow it up—wow, that’s real rock!”

"not that simple."

Xiangzi said.

"There is something wrong with the entire behavior pattern of these rock youths."

"They seem to be suffering from popping noises in their heads - they've been suffering for a while -"

"Then they discovered the explosion was coming from the top of the livehouse."

"The livehouse isn't a closed scene! If there's a problem here, can't they just run away?"

"Instead of running away, they chose to blow it up?"

"This is not a normal choice." Xiangzi said, "I think there are psychological factors involved."

"Some kind of spiritual suggestion that will follow you to the ends of the earth." Hai Ling folded her arms as she sat behind the wire duct next to her and said, "Before killing the target, this kind of pressure is often applied."

"There's also a problem with the choice of explosive equivalent," Xiangzi said. "The equivalent is too large."

"Did they make a mistake?" she said. "That's possible. But I'm more inclined to think that someone deliberately prepared an excessive amount of explosives."

"So they put a large electronic device on top of the livehouse, did some random brain-computer interference, and then induced these rock youths to blow it up, and even replaced the explosives?" Miao Meng exclaimed, "This case sounds too complicated! It looks like a Pythagorean device used at a carnival!"

"If something is not clear, it is not because it was designed to be that way," Xiangzi said. "There must be multiple factors interacting to make it what it is now."

"What you mean is that the game between multiple parties has led to the explosion taking its current form," said Hai Ling.

"Yes."

Xiangzi said.

"This bombing was not an act with the simple purpose of [causing riots] or [disrupting the concert]."

"Okay, okay, okay... It sounds like we're going to collect a huge amount of information again!" Miao Meng clapped her hands, "Go ahead? Now, which database are we going to dig into?"

"The database doesn't have the information we want." Xiangzi said, "What I care about most now is..."

"Let me guess," Miao Meng said, "You care about what the police have in their hands: the electronic equipment fragments that were blown to pieces like the residue in a popcorn machine, and the confessions of the unfortunate people who were taken away by the police."

"You are right." said Xiangzi.

"Can I guess?" Hai Ling said, "Next, you want to ask me if I can get any information about them?"

"You're right too," Xiangzi said, "So, can you get it?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult," Hai Ling said. "If you asked me this question 20 years later, I might have a solution. But now, I'm just a reserve officer of the BCPD, and I have a one-year absence record."

……

It wasn't too difficult to get things from the scene guarded by the BCPD.

But if these things have already reached the BCPD headquarters, it would be extremely difficult to get them out again.

Xiangzi can only hope that BCPD left some electronic equipment fragments at the crime scene.

She asked Hailing to drive back to RiNG.

The scene remains cordoned off.

The van was parked next to RiNG.

Xiangzi asked Miao Meng to secretly "take a look" at the list of people who had entered the blocked area through the electronic fence.
