Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"(Losses in the financial report, huh...)"

Xiangzi thought.

In the room, the Super Dream recording equipment made a slight "beep, beep" sound.

Amidst these voices, Su Shi continued to speak.

"The coordination between the band and Fengchuan has become a problem," Su Shi said. "Originally, the two had reached a delicate balance in the City of Music. But now, due to the issue of interests, there is a rift between them."

"But before this, the Toyokawa family didn't do anything to the band like this - maybe it's not easy to do so -"

Su Shi looked at Xiangzi.

"——This is what I found out."

Su Shi turned to Xiangzi.

Obviously, it's for verification.

"Has the Toyokawa family started taking action?"

She asked.

"Aiming for big bands?"

"A small band?"

"Professional band..."

"Folk band?"

"..."

Xiangzi said nothing.

"I'll check your brain records later."

Su Shi said.

Chapter 33: Prepared ( rewards plus more)

Beep, beep.

The instrument was humming softly in the room.

Su Shi sits on the chair.

She stopped talking for the moment. She touched her fingertips and fell into thought.

Xiangzi waited for a while.

Su Shi didn't stand up.

She did not turn off the Mewtwo recording equipment, nor did she continue questioning.

So, Xiangzi spoke first.

"Have you thought of what else to say?" she asked.

"..."

Sushi sits there.

So Xiangzi said again:

"Aren't there any bigger, scarier things to say?"

"Then what happens next..."

“Isn’t it time to ask the questions you really care about?”

This time, Su Shi's eyes moved slightly.

"I don't understand you."

She said to Xiangzi.

"How come you don't understand what I mean?" Xiangzi said, "Aren't you always avoiding your real intention?"

Xiangzi gently touched the audio and video chips scattered on the table with her fingers.

"The Toyokawa family's decisions, the opinions of the top management, personnel changes, band matters..." she said.

"Spreading what you have found on the table is not evidence."

"So far, there is not a single piece of definite evidence in what you said. It is all just your [guesswork]."

"Some speculations that are as broad and general as possible, related to the Toyokawa family..."

"Speculations that have nothing to do with your life."

"You just try to make as many words as possible that may be related to the [Toyokawa family] appear. To give me more indicators of my memory."

Click. Click.

Shoko rapped the table with her knuckles.

"..."

On the opposite side, Su Shi was silent.

"But asking this will not help you achieve your desired goal," Xiangzi said.

Xiangzi's golden eyes glowed slightly in the dark.

She waved and pointed to the hotel.

"Bring Mu here, use her to threaten me, cuff me, and use the [worm]..."

"You are not doing these troublesome things because you care about Lezhicheng and the Toyokawa family, right?"

she says.

"What about Toyokawa's decision, the band's decision..."

"Not to mention that it is impossible to know the most critical things through simple purchases and internal inquiries."

"Even if you know, what can you do?"

"In this city, no one cares about anything that far away."

"I, you..."

“Everyone in this city is exhausted just by looking at what’s happening right in front of them.”

“You can’t even handle the problems that are right down your throat, and yet you’re still thinking about the bigger, invisible, intangible problems?”

“Let’s keep it simple.”

Xiangzi said.

"What's that down your throat?"

"Tell me what you want to know. I'll give you what I know."

Xiangzi looked at Su Shi with her golden eyes:

"Or do you just want to sit here with me and play crossword puzzles?"

……

Su Shi tightened his hands on the table.

Finally, it loosened again.

She got a prosthetic eye.

Then, while looking at the contents of Yi's eyes, he started to say something new.

“Last year, the Toyokawa family accounted for 41% of the corporate legal representatives of Lezhicheng, [the seven bands] accounted for 47% in total, and the remaining 12% was external investment.”

Su Shi said.

“This year, the Toyokawa family accounts for 48% of the corporate legal representatives of Lezhicheng, and [the seven bands] account for 48% in total, leaving only 4% for external investment.”

Su Shi raised a hand.

She curled her fingers in order.

Five fingers.

Four fingers.

Three fingers, two fingers, one finger...

The five-second countdown ends.

This is the time required for the Super Dream Recording Equipment to complete brain image recording.

Su Shi didn't say anything else to Xiangzi.

She went on to the next thing.

"B-Creative, the manufacturer of the attractions in Michelle Land, was originally an external investment company, and is currently adjusting its shareholder structure. President Hashimoto frequently visits the Toyokawa Building."

Waited five seconds as well.

"The fragments of the [Hacking High-Frequency Electric Transmitter] found in RiNG were manufactured by [B-Creative]."

Five seconds.

"The rock youths who were detained by BCPD and blew up RiNG took a commission in an underground bar three days before the incident and smuggled the [hacking high-frequency radio transmitter] into RiNG and placed it in the ceiling."

Five seconds.

"In the [Lezhicheng-Private Job Recruitment] section, there is a request for intimidation against MyGO!!!!!"

Five seconds.

Su Shi stood up.

"Our deal is over."

she says.

The leather shoes stepped on the velvet carpet, making an almost imperceptible sound.

Su Shi walked over to Xiangzi and stopped the recording of the Mewtwo recording equipment.

Xiangzi supported his chin with one hand, leaned against the sofa, and looked at Su Shi.

"You're investigating too much," she said.

"..."

Su Shi began to prepare to check the filming situation and didn't want to pay attention to Xiangzi.

"You've already reached the black part." Xiangzi said lightly, "This is not a place where ordinary students can set foot."

"..."

"According to what you said, the other side is just attacking influential bands."

Xiangzi looked at Sushi and said:

"Since you're so concerned about the safety of your band members..."

"Then why not just disband the band?"

Ouch!

Su Shi stood up and slammed the coffee table.

Sha la la...

Many imaging chips bounced up and fell to the ground.

"If you let me hear this again, I will burn your brain." Su Shi looked at Xiangzi calmly and said.

Xiangzi didn't seem to understand the threat in Sushi's words. She just sat there.

"This is advice." Xiangzi said.

"In the City of Music, the band is famous and it's not easy to control."
