Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Performance area.

Inside the beautifully decorated cafe.

"……Then what?"

Chu Hua, who was sitting by the window, asked in his computer.

She was wearing a hat and sunglasses, which hid all her facial features. However, if you got closer, you could still see some of her eyebrows and eyes.

[Doloris: Afterglow's Aoba Moka quit the gang and became a middleman. She also invited Ave Mujica to take over her mission... Then what? ]

【Oblivionis: I agree.】

【Doloris:……】

Chuhua of course accepted what Xiangzi agreed to.

She just...

She just wasn't quite sure about the situation.

【Amoris: 5……】

[Amoris:...4, 3, 2, 1. 】

[Amoris: Aha! Doloris didn't respond for five seconds! I knew Doloris would react like this! I don't know how to answer - everyone who heard it would react like this, right? Even Mortis was silent for five seconds when he heard it! ]

【Mortis:……】

[Amoris: Timoris! You lost the bet this time - you guessed Doloris would be at most five seconds!]

【Timoris: All right.】

【Doloris: Wait——】

[Oblivionis: Doloris, this is one of the few opportunities we can seize. ]

[Oblivionis: There are many things that are difficult for us to judge the direction and status. But now it is certain that there are differences of opinion within Afterglow. 】

[Oblivionis: Meizhulan believes that the city of music is about to go to war. In order to avoid heavy casualties, Afterglow needs to conduct armed deterrence first and then withdraw from the city of music. Therefore, there is no need to enter [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].]

[Oblivionis: But Aoba Moka believes that Afterglow is capable of controlling this war. Therefore, Afterglow needs to go deeper into the major and minor events of the City of Joy than before - including going deeper into [New Land Reclamation Phase 2]. At least, Aoba Moka believes that the current dangerous situation of 'Toyokawa Nuclear Power' can be resolved. ]

[Oblivionis: Aoba Moka will not stop her actions just because Afterglow's account is frozen. She has turned to being a middleman, and she must be trying to solve Mitakeran's current concerns. Including expanding her power and solving the problem of 'Toyokawa's nuclear possession'. 】

[Oblivionis: In this way, at least Aoba Moka and we have the same interests. ]

[Oblivionis: So, cooperating with her - Shasha - is equal in terms of benefits.]

【Timoris: In terms of interests——rustling——so——rustling——】

[Amoris: Wow... Always talking about nuclear, nuclear, nuclear! Come to think of it, that nuclear deterrence is really scary! I can't stand it... The assassination of Yukina Minato, Toyokawa's plan to form a "seven bands", beating this, beating that, killing this, killing that... I always hear this kind of thing! -Shasha - I'm not a small business owner who watches the news channel of the City of Music every day! ]

[Amoris: -- Hey, guys, what do you think? -- Shasha -- Do you really think a nuclear bomb will drop and blow people up? ]

【Mortis: The probability is not zero. 】

【Amoris: I know that! Anyway——Shusha——】

There was noise in the brain-computer channel.

The signals of Xiangzi, Hailing and Miaomeng are not particularly good.

Poor brain-computer communication.

Chuhua stood up.

She picked up her coat, smiled at the waiter, and paid the bill.

【Doloris: Where are you now? I'll come find you. 】

【Amoris: Ah... uh...】

【Doloris: Is the signal still bad? 】

【Amoris: No, that’s right, the location is a little… not very convenient for you to come.】

【Doloris: What?】

【Oblivionis: We were in a nightclub. 】

……what?

Chu Hua's silence this time lasted longer than five seconds.

Chapter 226 Mission Blind Box

Morfonica territory.

Small Kabuki district.

Nightclub【glare】.

The entrance area is made of smooth geometric shapes, emitting deep purple spotlights. Standing outside, you can hear the sound of Morfonica songs such as "MUGEN Reverberate".

Large electronic screens flow on the ground and the ceiling, displaying all kinds of psychedelic data color bars.

internal.

Groups of two or three people walked through the nightclub.

It can be seen that some people came to the nightclub with their friends, while others found partners in the nightclub.

These people leaned against the wall made of LCD visual screens, talking and laughing softly, and whispering to each other.

The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and neurotransmitter drugs.

Men and women holding [Bloody Mary] or [Machine Gun Head], looking for suitable targets.

Most people were hanging around outfield.

Occasionally, a few people would pass through the door curtain decorated with colorful beads and enter the inner venue.

There, on the magenta sofa set, some people were sitting.

This is a more private and ambiguous area.

This is an area that can only be entered by people who are already in a relationship.

Oh no!

Under the dim light, a lady walked in and the door curtain swayed, making a slight sound.

She looked towards the field, her prosthetic eye shining, and looked back and forth several times, looking for the "partner" who had just entered.

She glanced at the rows of sofas in the depths...

"..."

No one, two people who looked like a couple, four people with many partners—

The lady's eyes flicked to the three people sitting on a sofa somewhere.

There were three young women, sitting on the same couch.

A slender woman with long hair sat in the middle of the sofa.

She was wearing a black evening gown, with her hands clasped together, holding a glass of red wine in front of her.

To her left is a short-haired woman with a nice figure and a slim skirt, who makes no effort to hide her charm.

The short-haired woman was hanging half on the side of the sofa and half on the woman in the middle.

On the right, there was another woman sitting in a black women's suit.

The woman sat upright, holding a martini with a cherry in it.

She wasn't as outrageous as the woman on the left, but she was still sitting very close to the woman in the middle.

Under the ambiguous light, everything is shrouded in dark tones.

"..."

The lady couldn't help but take another look at the three people.

At this time.

The woman sitting in the middle raised her head.

"—!"

The golden eyes met the lady's eyes.

excuse me!

Realizing that her behavior was impolite to the nightclub, the lady immediately looked away and walked away quickly.

"..."

Golden eyes followed her figure and turned again.

Received it back.

"(no.)"

Xiangzi withdrew the scan he had cast on the lady's face.

This isn't it either.

she thinks.

……

Xiangzi didn't expect that after agreeing to Aoba Mocha, the mission would come so quickly.

"Then I'll give it to you now~"

In the basement, Mocha said this and immediately sent an email to Xiangzi from his computer.

Xiangzi opened the email.

There are only two lines of text in it.

[Kabuki District: Nightclub [Glare], Indoor]

【Murakami】

That's obviously an address, and a person's ID.

"Originally, the communication process should be done by the middleman. However, since this is our first opening, there are many information points that we haven't been able to notify yet."

Mocha says:

"Please understand. I will give you more rewards."

More pay?

"What's the reward?"

Xiangzi asked.

"You'll know when it's done."

Mocha still had a smiling face.

"..."

Xiangzi acquiesced.

"Then I'll make an appointment for you~" Mocha asked, "What time do you want?"

"now?"

Xiangzi asked.
