Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Then the second one.

The neckline opened wider.

Under the cloth, fair skin and distinct collarbones were revealed.

Xiangzi pinched the two sides of the open collar and pulled it down.

The shoulders were also exposed.

She reached back and lifted up her long golden-blue hair.

The slender back glows in the light, giving people an unreal feeling.

Xiangzi pushed his long hair aside.

At the back of her neck, her brain-computer interface was exposed.

She glanced back.

Su Shi stood behind her with a sullen face, holding the brain-computer recording equipment.

Xiangzi leaned against the armrest of the sofa.

"bring it on?"

She said to Sushi.

"..."

Su Shi didn't respond.

However, she bent down and connected the interface of the brain-computer recording equipment into Xiangzi's brain-computer.

Then, those small metal plates were attached to the outer side of Xiangzi's medulla oblongata.

Chapter 32: Separatist Rule by the Princes ( Rewards and More)

The rustling sound and slight metal collision sound rang softly under the dim light.

The metal inserts leave a cool touch on the skin.

"What made you want to investigate?" Xiangzi asked.

"MyGO!!!!! There is a wild cat with good eyesight." Su Shi said, "She found suspicious people and debris at the explosion site."

"Cats are always so troublesome, but they also help us a lot," said Xiangzi.

"I guess so." Su Shi said.

Kara, kara.

There was a metallic sound.

When Su Shi's hand left the back of Xiangzi's neck, the Mewtwo recording equipment was installed.

"..."

Su Shi signaled Xiangzi with his eyes.

Xiangzi smiled.

She took the pneumatic tranquilizer and injected it into her jugular vein.

chi...

A slight sound.

My vision was shaking. Everything around me started to become blurry.

Su Shi pressed the start button on the integrated acquisition panel.

hum...

A slight resonating sound.

【…Frequency band verification…】

[…Brain wave test…Access procedure…Interconnection status…]

[…1000…Confirmed…]

[… Emergency backup… Completed…]

"..."

Su Shi remained silent and turned the frequency band to [Comparison Mode].

Su Shi typed [prompt word] into the Mewtwo recording device.

[Hint] Of course it is [information known by members of the Toyokawa family].

"..."

Xiangzi seems to be afraid of nothing.

But Su Shi was still afraid of finding out something that shouldn't be found.

Therefore, she set the scanning range to the memories newly added within [3 months].

She just needs to know something about MyGO!!!!!

Next, Su Shi will make a series of narrations.

During Su Shi's narration, any information that Xiangzi recognizes as [information known by members of the Toyokawa family] will trigger the recording state of the Mewtwo recording equipment.

The disk will record this.

This is the information that Xiangzi promised to give to Su Shi.

"Test." Su Shi said.

When Su Shi said this, a band with a delay of less than 0.1 second appeared on the cathode ray tube.

This is not a delay.

These are the brain waves that appeared after Xiangzi responded to Su Shi's word "test".

This shows that the brain-computer interface has been successful.

Su Shi left the Mewtwo filming equipment and sat back in her original seat.

"Has it started yet?"

Xiangzi, who had many wires connected to the back of his neck, asked.

Su Shi nodded.

"It's started." said Su Shi.

She looked into Xiangzi's eyes.

Then, she began to tell what she knew after her own investigation.

"There have been personnel adjustments within the Toyokawa family," Sushi said, "starting about a year ago, around the time you transferred to another school."

"Some employees were promoted, some were demoted, some were transferred to other departments, some were transferred to other regions, some were fired... and some were even treated in a more horrific way."

“There are a lot of personnel changes.”

“And there are almost no rhymes.”

"It's really not peaceful." Xiangzi said lightly.

She was sedated but still able to speak...

Just being able to speak.

But that's enough.

"Are you worried that your mother will be affected?" Xiangzi asked.

"..."

Su Shi was silent.

"You came to me to ask about the Toyokawa family. Was it because of your mother or because of your band?"

"..."

"Or... when I was investigating your band, I found that these crises seemed to threaten your mother as well?"

"..."

Su Shi was not disturbed by Xiangzi.

She went on.

"Frequent personnel changes mean that management's decisions are changing," Su Shi said, "but this change does not seem to have an obvious direction."

"People who were promoted may be demoted again in a short period of time. People who were fired may be rehired suddenly..."

“There is no pattern to follow, which means that the management cannot seem to reach a consensus on decision-making.”

"There are doubts among the employees about this, and the Toyokawa family is actually hesitating about what to do next."

What a bold guess, Xiangzi thought.

Su Shi said these key words in order to stimulate his own brain waves and remind himself of something that "only members of the Toyokawa family" would know.

It's okay to just wait like this.

However, it might be better to induce it a little.

Xiangzi thought about this and said:

"I don't think the public can tell where the Toyokawa family will go next."

Xiangzi said: "Even the employees working in Fengchuan Building are just ordinary people who have a certain degree of guarantee for food, clothing, housing and transportation."

“But the meaning of the high-level meeting can indeed be perceived by employees,” Su Shi said.

She played with her fingers.

"In the instructions issued by the high-level meeting of Toyokawa Building, more voices advocated that Toyokawa should have more control over the City of Joy."

Su Shi did not say whether this was information she obtained from her mother or information she bought with money.

But Xiangzi thought it was probably a combination of both.

"The top management has also made some personnel adjustments," Su Shi said. "In the new top council, some people think that the reputation of the city of bands has been established. Now, it is okay to pay less attention to the development of bands."

"...Moreover, they feel that the band leaders in the City of Music have done too well."

Centralized management.

This word appeared in Xiangzi's mind.

Toyokawa's employees believed that the Toyokawa family had arranged new senior management and carried out large-scale personnel changes in order to do this...

The Toyokawa family, in Arasaka, which is jealous of Night City?

“(It’s a bit difficult.)”

Xiangzi thought.

The City of Joy has the ecology of the City of Joy.

The band gang culture has taken root in the deepest foundation of the City of Music.

It is not easy to pull it out.

If one thing goes wrong, the entire city of joy will collapse and fall apart.

“(Or maybe he just felt the crisis.)”

Reclamation of new land.

Xiangzi thought of this place.

The first phase of the reclaimed land was invested and constructed by the Toyokawa family.

But in a sense, the Toyokawa family did not receive much benefit from it. The territory was occupied and two new bands, Morfonica and RAS, emerged.

The investment of the Toyokawa family has actually strengthened the strength of the Music City Band.
