Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Miao Meng compromised.

Xiangzi frowned.

She glanced back.

Hailing and Chuhua walked behind them.

Between the two stood Mu, who still looked sleepy.

"The recruitment of 'believers' has come to an end."

Xiangzi said.

"Next, let [Mujina Carnival] handle it. Let the 'believers' stand by."

"We have to focus on the clues."

She continued:

"The explosion in RiNG was caused by B-Creative, the builder of the amusement facilities in Michelle Park."

"Hai Ling, Chu Hua. The clues you found and the clues I found corroborate each other and explain this matter."

"Change the top priority from [Plan Three] to [Plan One]." Xiangzi walked forward without looking back and said, "Next, we have to investigate this guy."

"The company again!"

Miao Meng sighed.

"Are we going to go in and hold a performance like last time?" she asked.

“This is not a closed facility,” Chu Hua said. “The performance’s appeal is limited.”

"That's right~ And, this time we're investigating, right?" Miao Meng tapped her chin, "Find out whether [B-Creative] and the [murder of J] case at Michelle Paradise are strongly or weakly related. Did they send someone to do it themselves, or did they issue a task? Was it an instruction from the top, or an instruction from a certain person? Was framing us a spur-of-the-moment decision, or was it premeditated..."

"I feel like we won't be able to find out anything even if we use the performance as an excuse," Miao Meng said.

"We need to investigate their internal documents," Xiangzi said. "Large companies usually keep archives of all internal negotiations and store them on their servers."

"These are things that can only be checked by going to the company in person!" Miao Meng said, "How to do it? Pretend to be a server maintenance worker?"

"In a company like this, the server maintenance personnel are all internal employees," said Hai Ling.

"You know it very well!"

"When I accepted the mission before, I considered this method of intrusion."

"So you're still pretending to be an entertainer?" Chu Hua said.

“If I can’t carry out activities as Ave Mujica, there’s no point in pretending to be an entertainer,” Xiangzi said. “It will only increase my exposure and bring danger.”

"This time..."

Xiangzi nodded his chin.

She was still thinking - there was no good solution -

The crowd walked along the main road outside the student apartment.

On the side of the road, there is a row of LCD bulletin boards at regular intervals.

On them, there are colorful announcements of various classes, meetings, internships, part-time job openings and joint activities for students in the college area - with intrusive amplifier sound effects -

"Uh!"

When walking past them, the rustling sound made Miao Meng frown.

“I’ve been thinking, isn’t this a violation of cybersecurity protocols?” she said. “Forcing you to listen to these jingles with just boring chords!”

Xiangzi's gaze naturally fell on the bulletin board.

then……

She opened her eyes slightly.

"...There is."

Xiangzi said.

what?

Miao Meng, Hai Ling and Chu Hua all looked at Xiangzi.

Mu also raised his head.

"…without the special excuse of 'performing'."

Xiangzi looked at the bulletin board and said.

"This time, we'll do something more common—"

“It’s what students are supposed to do.”

She said, pointing to the notice board.

There, there is a small column.

【Visiting enterprises-Joint study tour application】

Chapter 181 Joint Study Tour

[Yutenji Wakamugi: ...Then, I told the teacher from Kyoto: I really, really like his "The Application of Linear Algebra and Calculus in the Code Construction of the Data Terminal of the Aerial Vehicle".]

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Although I didn’t know there was such a person before this conversation! I mean, his name is exactly the same as the name of the [Ryohei] Lollipop Pachinko retailer—when the students said “Ryohei teacher”, I thought they were talking about this little thing from the 1990s that taught us how to use mortise and tenon joints!]

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Anyway, anyway... I talked to him about some things I found on Wikipedia. He was very happy and agreed to my application for a joint internship with B-Creative.]

[Sanjiao Chuhua: Sounds good.]

【Hachiman Kairin: Oh.】

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Why do you all sound like you've taken too many synthetic endorphins and are in a brain fog state? ]

[Yawata Kairin: No. It just sounded like we were listening to a trip report of over a thousand words.]

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Hey! It's so hard to apply for the joint internship! This kind of qualification certification to enter the company is very strict and requires authorization from a specific mentor! I bet you haven't applied yet! ]

[Yawata Kairin: My application was approved just thirty minutes ago. #Brain-computer screenshot]

[Sanjiao Chuhua: Uh... me too. ＃Brain-computer screenshot]

【Ruoye Mu: #Brain-computer screenshot】

[Yutenji Wakamugi: ...Damn it, I thought I was fast enough? ]

[Yawata Kairin: No one in Hanasakigawa has signed up for this. The joint study tour quota for visiting companies every year cannot be pushed out, and these tasks have to be forcibly assigned to the injured in December. If you enter Hanasakigawa's campus network, take the initiative to fill out an application form for [Joint Study Tour Application], and then wait, the pass rate is 12%.]

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Hanasakigawa is so free? Aren't they worried that some students will keep using this as an excuse to skip school?]

[Yawata Kairin: In Hanasakigawa, skipping school is not that difficult. You just need to participate in the anti-terrorist activities every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, and then pretend to be careless and let your ankles and calves be hit by a dagger, a baseball bat, [JKE-X2 Kenshin] or [D5 Copperhead].]

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Is there really someone who does this? ]

[Yawata Kairin: You have to ask why in the annual injury rate statistics of the Hanasakigawa Medical Office, the part with the highest probability of injury always switches back and forth between the right ankle and the left ankle.]

[Sanjiao Chuhua: ...I see. I was wondering why they all looked at me with resentment when I was covering for the team members last time.]

[Hachiman Kairin: Only now? I thought you would have noticed it earlier.]

[Sankaku Hatsuka: I thought that was Hanasakigawa's unique way of communicating with eyes, but I didn't install the corresponding biological motion sensing chip. ]

[Yutenji Wakamugi: Hanasakigawa is really crazy! ...Wait, Mutsuko, what about you? How did you apply for it? Don't tell me that no one in Tsuki no Mori actually applied for this, and you can pass it just by applying——]

【Wakaba Mutsu: ……】

[Yutenji Wakamugi: ...Say something. 】

[Wakaba Mutsu: No one from Tsuki no Mori applied for the [Joint Study Tour].]

[Youtian Temple Ruomai:——————]

【Shoko: ……】

Looking at Miao Meng posting her own brain wave image directly in the chat room, Xiangzi shook his head in his heart.

She held the book and continued walking forward.

Tread, step, step.

Her footsteps echoed down the corridor.

She stopped at the door of the teacher's office.

"Teacher, did you call me?"

She knocked politely, said hello, and entered.

"Student Xiangzi."

The teacher sitting in the office looked up and said, "Your application for the [Joint Visit] has been approved."

"Thank you!"

Xiangzi nodded, and then received the certification qualification for the [Joint Study Abroad Application] from the teacher.

"I rarely see students applying for joint internships with companies just because their current project reports involve process management during the construction of entertainment facilities. Most students directly search for information online."

The teacher looked at her with admiration and said:

"I have rarely seen a student as devoted to his studies as you are. Your serious attitude will surely make it a good report."

"You flatter me."

Xiangzi thanked him again.

kerala.

The office door closed and Xiangzi walked out of the office.

She walked down the corridor again and looked at the [Joint Study Abroad Application] with the electronic stamp of [Approved] in her artificial eye.

but.

Of course, I’m not thinking about studying.

"(The apprenticeship will be in two days.)"

“(The location is not far.)”

"(Security rating... OK...)"

Xiangzi thought as he walked.

"(…Should we bring a gun with us?)"

“(But it’s just an investigation, there seems to be no need to be armed. There is also the risk of being exposed.)”

“(But once the situation escalates from the investigation, arming is necessary... [B-Creative] is at least directly confronting the [big guys], and there may be very valuable information there. If the information is critical to a certain extent, it is necessary to obtain it even if there is a risk...)”

"(B-Creative's security is definitely not as strict as Avex's.)"

"(Why not just let Chuhua bring her [DS-1 Pulse]?)"

"(No, guns are easily detectable.)"

“(What about the knives?)”

“(The Black Unicorn of Hailing is made of carbon fiber, which is not the type that will easily trigger security alarms.)”

"(The same goes for my Nirvana.)"

"(But... guns may also be... more necessary...)"

"(Using self-defense as an excuse?)"

"(How about checking out the area during the day and returning at night...)"

Xiangzi kept walking forward while thinking about these things.

"...!"

Suddenly, Xiangzi saw the doorplate of the classroom in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
