Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"Huh? Didn't you say earlier that there was a scary transfer student sitting behind you who didn't want to stay in the classroom and came to see me every time after class?"

"Oh yeah, I haven't even told you yet! That scary student behind me has moved away again!"

"The number of students transferring in and out is so high. What did she do?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I'll just go back to my old school and do the questions—"

The two classmates chatted and walked away.

at the same time.

Under the same sky.

City of joy.

Reclamation New Land Phase 2.

The building has not yet been topped off and the interior of its reinforced concrete facade is still exposed.

Bah!

Gunshots rang out.

The kinetic bullets grazed the rough concrete columns, carrying away flying debris.

Bah!Bah!Bah!

Xiangzi was wearing casual clothes of a white top and gray skirt, holding "Pride" in his hand, hiding behind a concrete pillar.

Bullets kept whizzing past her.

The crumbs brushed her cheeks.

"(The fourth one.)"

She kept count.

Bah!

The fifth shot.

It's now.

"!"

Remembering the capacity of the opponent's magazine, Xiangzi appeared from behind the concrete pillar and opened fire when the opponent was reloading.

Da da da!

[Pride] fired three shots in succession, and the bullets hit the same spot, piercing the hand of the punk-haired thug who was about to hide behind a pillar, leaving a cluster of blood.

it is good.

A good opportunity to chase.

The golden prosthetic eye lit up.

Xiangzi accessed the brain-computer communication channel——the black and red logo opened on the side of the artificial eye——

"Amoris!"

Xiangzi shouted in the brain-computer communication channel.

"..."

Miao Meng did not respond.

However, the sound was heard around.

Snapped.

The sound of electricity exploding from the brain machine.

"G-Hmm."

At the moment when the gangster lost his guard due to the pain, the hacker quickly cracked the program [electromagnetic short circuit] and drilled into his brain.

[Electromagnetic short circuit] instantly caused an intracranial EMP explosion. The gangster dropped his gun in pain. He squatted down and covered his head.

The network portal of his brain-computer team was wide open.

"..."

A second quick hack was written.

【Collective infection】

The people connected to the same team channel as this gangster were all quickly hacked at the same time.

"Well!"

"Uh!"

The enemy's dull cries could be heard from the stairs and behind the pillars on the other side. The virus had entered their brain centers, causing their medulla oblongata to feel a burning pain from the overload of pressure.

Just two slight cries of pain.

However, it is enough to help people locate their target.

In the shadows between the pillars.

The black blade is unsheathed.

despair.

There was a slight sound on the ground.

"—"

A cold light flashed.

Behind the gangster who was holding his head and became unresponsive due to pain, the [Black Unicorn] revealed its black edge.

chap!

The first man groaned and fell down.

The strengthened Achilles tendon made the distance between the four pillars disappear in an instant.

chapped.

The black blade slashed down.

The second person.

"Alas……!"

The thug who had exchanged gunfire with Xiangzi in the front realized something was wrong. He quickly left from behind the pillar and tried to escape to the stairs.

He exposed his back for a second.

Perhaps he felt that the amount of damage he felt from the gunfight just now would not be able to penetrate the back of his head which was equipped with the stainless steel cyber armor.

but.

He was wrong.

Whoosh.

Silver light flies.

A small knife flew out and pierced his brain accurately.

Chapter 205: Traditional Craftsmanship Cannot Be Lost

【Timoris: Three people are in danger, and three are actually harmless. The danger has been eliminated.】

【Oblivionis: Thank you for your hard work. 】

[Amoris: Thank you for your hard work~ Oh, I hacked so many people, it really made me tired~]

【Oblivionis:……】

[Oblivionis: Amoris, you weren't the one who was scared just now, right? ]

【Amoris: Meow?】

Sitting behind a pillar, Miao Meng blinked as her hands kept sliding on the virtual screen in front of her.

It feels a little off.

She immediately turned off the virtual screen. She was about to get up - to shut down the process in her brain computer and talk about something else -

despair.

A soft sound.

Miao Meng slowly turned her head.

"..."

Xiangzi stood behind her.

Xiangzi looked at Miao Meng who raised his head and the built-in projections of the irises of his two eyes were slightly different in color.

The corners of Xiangzi's mouth curled up slightly, but his eyes did not show a smile.

"Uh--" Miao Meng said, "Boss, you--"

"Mortis."

Xiangzi called out Mu's code name.

【Mortis: Yes.】

In the brain, Mu replied.

Meow Meng's lighter eye flashed at the same time.

"……Oh."

Miao Meng pressed his forehead.

……

Moon Forest.

After class time.

Many young ladies were chatting and laughing in groups, sipping tea in the courtyard.

There are also some young ladies who don't do anything like that.

They played violin in the music room, chatted in the classroom and corridor...

There were also people, next to the flower beds in the Horticulture Department.

As usual, Mu was holding a kettle and watering the cucumbers she planted.

rustle.

Water droplets fell on the cucumber leaves, reflecting the crystal clear light of the artificial sunlight.

Everything looked so peaceful.

No one knew that she had just connected to the hosting team channel and, through Miao Meng's artificial eye, used [electromagnetic short circuit] and [collateral infection] to hack out the heads of three people in [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land] a hundred kilometers away.

No one knows...

Now, in her mind, the members of Ave Mujica were arguing non-stop.

“…Wow! That’s too much, Boss!”

Miao Meng yelled, and the sound was particularly loud because it echoed in the empty floor.

"I was just busy checking the likes on the YouTube channel! I asked Mutsuko if she could help, and she said yes, so I let her do it!" Miao Meng shouted, "I was trusting my teammates! Besides, Ave Mujica's server is still in the Moon Forest, and I can't go back now. I just wanted Mutsuko to test the server's relay communication and confidentiality effects. Now it seems that it can fully meet Mutsuko's needs to support us from school. It's too much to confiscate all my profits!"

"Testing can be done with prior notice. Also, I don't think 'checking the likes on the YouTube account' is a reasonable excuse." Xiangzi said as he walked in front of Miao Meng, "You lacked vigilance during the mission."

"But these guys are just hooligans! We've fought 20 to 30 teams of them in the past two weeks!" Miao Meng spread her hands and shouted, "They are just like low-level AI viruses that refresh regularly, and the underlying logic is clear at a glance! These guys have no tactical skills at all, and every batch of them is almost the same! I can guess what guns they will use, where they will attack from, and what curse words they will yell! - When I really have to be serious, of course I will be serious! In a serious occasion, when have I not been serious?"

"Every time it's time to be serious." Xiangzi continued to move forward, "Danger always appears when you are most relaxed."

"Uh-huh."
