Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"(Ten minutes, copy everything...)"

Or is it too reluctant and too greedy?

This time is indeed enough for the exchange of fire!

Once the crossfire was underway, the three would not be able to evacuate via the safer staircases—they would be seen and drawn in—

"(The bet is too big--)"

No.

Don't think about the past!

Now that we have come this far, all we need to look at is what is in front of us!

"Amoris! [Contagion]!"

Xiangzi shouted.

"Roger that!"

Miao Meng pressed the lower side of her neck.

The red prosthetic eye lit up, and "hmm" and "uh" sounds of the brain being attacked came from below.

Miao Meng did not identify the target person.

The bandits and BCPD officers closest to the top of the stairs were attacked by her quick attack at the same time.

"Wow! There's another wanted person in this building now!" Miao Meng shouted, "That's me!"

"You won't become a wanted person." Xiangzi said quickly, "Our masks can block scanning--"

While talking, the three of them ran upwards quickly.

They ran up to the 8th floor.

Fortunately, none of the people below who were hacked performed any counter-hacking activities.

Unfortunately……

Their hacking operation also took some time.

Tread, step, step.

There were footsteps coming from below.

Someone caught up with us.

It was the very persistent BCPD officer just now——

She was nearly hit by the computer case and fell from the 6th floor, but that didn't stop her.

"Still a trainee police officer?" Miao Meng, who had a better brain-computer plug-in, discovered the other party's identity in more detail and shouted, "So hardworking!? Is this the hard work of a newly employed person!?"

"..."

Xiangzi's face was tense.

The opponent's speed is faster than expected.

If this continues, we'll be caught before we reach the 10th floor—

Xiangzi suddenly pushed open the window of the stairwell.

Outside, it is the townhouse on the opposite side.

There is a narrow balcony on the 7th floor.

The distance was not far. The window where the three people were standing was less than five meters away from the platform.

There is a height difference, which is a bit scary.

"Let's jump over there, quick."

Xiangzi said.

Hai Ling didn't say anything and just faithfully carried out the order.

She grabbed the windowsill, leaped out, pushed against the wall, drew an arc in the air, and landed on the ground.

All in one go.

Hai Ling landed on the platform on the 7th floor of the opposite building.

This was not too difficult for her.

The problem is that there are only two people left.

"Maybe I should increase my [Physical] points! Or [Calmness]!"

Miao Meng shouted, and the second one grabbed the window.

She has recently given up the struggle.

She jumped out—not very well—

"Meow!"

But Hailing grabbed Miao Meng's arm smoothly and pulled her up before her hand was dislocated.

Finally, there is Xiangzi.

Behind him, the pursuer had already reached the entrance of the corridor——

Pop, pop, pop!

Xiangzi fired three shots in a row.

"!"

The man immediately shrank his head inward.

Snapped.

"..."

Xiangzi hopes to hit the opponent - at least hit the opponent's hand or foot - to stop the opponent's action.

But the other party remained cautious.

Both sides were waiting for their opponent to reveal a flaw.

"..."

Xiangzi knew that he couldn't be impatient now.

She stepped back.

Her back was against the wall—

She didn't just turn around and jump out, but...

...be careful.

Hey.

Xiangzi knocked the handle of Pride's gun against the wall, making a slight sound.

"!"

really!

It was the opponent who lost his patience first!

The BCPD trainee police officer's figure was slightly exposed at the entrance of the corridor.

It's now.

Raise your hand, aim, and shoot——

Snapped!

The bullet hit the BCPD trainee officer in the forehead.

Then, it penetrated the BCPD's special police prosthetic eye accessory.

"!"

It failed to cause an explosion - it was rubbed too shallowly!

The other party was only temporarily restrained for a moment——

“(Not optimal!)”

But Xiangzi has no time to hesitate! The only chance she can seize is now!

Even if the time to fight for is short, this is the only way to fight for it -

Xiangzi turned around immediately!

She grabbed the window and jumped out without hesitation.

"(This time difference.)"

This time difference should not be enough for the other party to aim and fire - causing fatal damage - the other party does not seem to be using an intelligent weapon that can automatically aim -

however.

There was a sound of wind behind me.

There was a very heavy object with a sense of mass that was thrown over.

"Varied--"

A red shadow flashed in the corner of Xiangzi's eyes.

That's a bucket of gasoline.

Bang!

The gasoline barrel hit the window frame - followed by the sound of gunshots -

boom!

The petrol barrel caught fire!

Blazing flames, sweeping heat waves, and a huge thrust—

Xiangzi, who had just jumped towards the next building, was blown up by this force in mid-air and lost his balance.
