Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Under the soft, goose yellow light, you can see the bathroom with a transparent glass curtain wall on the left side of the entrance, the bar with drinks and wine on the right side, the sofa and coffee table in the depths, and the wide double bed against the wall.

Su Shi walked in first.

Mu said nothing and followed her.

The door closed behind him.

Click.

The sound of the automatic lock closing.

Su Shi put her schoolbag down next to the coffee table, then took off her coat and hung it on the back of the chair next to her.

"Xiao Mu, come in and sit down too?"

she says.

Mu walked over.

She put her bag at the entrance and sat on the sofa at the far end.

"You can sit on the bed." Su Shi said, greeting people at the bar.

"Xiao Mu, would you like something to drink?"

Mu shook his head.

"That's it."

Su Shi smiled.

She didn't pour herself a cup of Ceylon tea, or anything else.

She walked straight across the aisle and sat on the sofa on the other side.

"..."

Mu waited for Su Shi to start talking.

She thought, maybe Su Shi would ask about Meow Meng.

After all, that didn't seem like the kind of person I would come into contact with.

They might also ask about the bombing.

She had been looking for me before because I was good at [technical skills] and could access the surveillance footage of open source roads, so she wanted me to help find Xiangzi.

This time, he came to me again, probably to ask me to help check the surveillance status near RiNG.

After all, that matter threatened MyGO!!!!!.

"..."

Will Su Shi launch an investigation because an explosion threatens MyGO!!!!!?

Mu actually doesn't know.

If it is auspicious, we will definitely investigate it.

But what Xiang is doing is different from what Su Shi is doing.

Xiang is doing something that is complicated, dangerous, and has no guarantees.

As for Su Shi, he can also seek shelter from his family, BCPD, and even the trauma emergency team.

So, she might not investigate the matter further.

after all……

“(Living in the City of Joy.)”

Mu remembered what Xiangzi had said to her when they were in junior high school.

"Mu." At that time, Xiangzi looked at the large recruitment advertisement on Fengchuan Building and said, "Life in the City of Joy is like a game of tag."

“Live a normal life, study normally, go to work normally…As long as you keep telling yourself that ‘everything is normal’ and don’t think about what’s in the darkness, you can tell yourself that life is peaceful and beautiful.”

"That can't be considered wrong," Xiangzi said, "because those things in the dark prefer to catch people who try to escape from them."

"(……)"

At that time, when I saw that advertisement, I did have a little bit of that feeling.

But it can't express my inner feelings well.

Xiang is very powerful.

Mu thought so then, and he still feels so now.

Xiang is always able to express himself with language that he cannot organize well.

I have the same opinion as her.

In the City of Joy, the middle and upper class people can really live a relatively peaceful and prosperous life if they don't mind other people's business.

Mu felt that Su Shi knew about this.

So, Mu thought, Su Shi probably wouldn't take another step forward.

If you don't ask about the bombing, why was I called here?

Mu sat quietly.

"How's Mu doing lately?"

Su Shi started the conversation with these words.

However, her conversation really seemed to be just that, a conversation.

"…The content of the ancient literature teacher's lecture has become more difficult to understand…"

"…Recently, everyone is paying attention to the discounts on LCD clothing that are popular for the changing seasons…"

Schoolwork, teachers, entertainment.

Su Shi was chatting about irrelevant topics.

It was almost always Su Shi who was talking.

Mu simply nodded and responded.

It was the same chat they had in the past at school.

But...why?

This question lingered slightly in Mu's heart.

She paid no attention to it.

Time passed by minute by minute while we chatted.

Seven o'clock.

seven fifteen.

Seven thirty...

The time agreed with Xiang is coming.

"I'm leaving."

Mu stood up and said.

however.

Su Shi just sat there quietly, still staring ahead.

She took a sip of black tea and said:

"If I just lock Xiaomu up here..."

"Xiao Xiang, will you come?"

Chapter 30: Two-Way Journey ( Rewards and More)

"..."

Mu looked towards Su Shi.

Su Shi looked calm and composed as he drank his tea.

So Mu walked towards the main door of the room.

She reached out and pulled the door lock.

A small red light flickered on the door latch.

Can't open.

The door was also locked from the inside.

Sushi holds the door card.

There was no doubt that she was the one who locked the door.

"..."

Mu's eyes lit up.

The model of the door lock is displayed on the retina.

Golden Lion VK-900P. Electronic lock.

It uses a double-insurance electronic lock core inter-hinged structure, which is quite advanced compared to ordinary houses, B&Bs and hotels.

However, Mu was now on the inside of the door after all.

The difficulty of opening any door, as long as it is on the inside, will be reduced by more than half.

Because the brain can be directly connected to the computer to control the mechanical structure.

Mu felt that he should be able to force it open.

just.

"..."

Do you really want to unlock it?

This is a regular hotel with a detailed security system.

Forcing the door open here would undoubtedly trigger the alarm.

It will be very troublesome to deal with it afterwards.

It is possible that records will be left.

Xiang probably doesn't want this.

"..."

The situation is a little bit troublesome.

Mu is not good at handling this situation.

She glanced at the time.

If we delay any longer, we won’t be able to get to the meeting point on Ave Mujica at the agreed time.

But she thought it would be better not to act on her own.

Mu connected her brain-computer to the local area network and then to the chat room.

She typed a sentence there.

[Ruoye Mu: I may not be able to go to tonight's rehearsal. ]

Soon, I received a reply.

It was a reply from Xiangzi.

【Xiangzi: What happened? 】

Instead of asking “why”, ask “what happened”.
