Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"Ah! You set the power so high! It consumes a lot of electricity!"

Miao Meng pounced over.

"Instantaneous current of 400A!? The vehicle circuit may be overloaded!"

"Turn it up a bit so the low frequencies can be picked up more clearly. Don't you have an electronic board that you can replace after the frequency is burned in?"

"But I'd feel bad about it! I brought it just in case! Come on, it's an original part - this is my car!"

"Eight hundred thousand is enough to buy you a new car. Miao Meng, continue scanning."

Xiangzi ignored Miao Meng and continued to operate the laptop on his lap.

"Wow... what an annoying partner... that laptop is mine too..."

Miao Meng dragged out the sentence and lay on the steering wheel of this "Zan Luoli".

"When we first met, you were quite cute. How could the agency make such a good kid become so boring?"

"..."

Xiangzi ignored Miao Meng and just operated and analyzed the collected frequency bands.

"Okay, okay... 800,000 yuan to turn a person into a ghost..."

Feeling that it was boring to perform a solo, Miao Meng turned back to look ahead and turned on her infrared positioning scan again.

hum.

"..."

In the artificial eye, the layers of concrete walls and steel structures in front disappeared.

The red field of vision exposed all the "living" things inside the building.

"At 11 o'clock, 300 meters away, there are two living people. At 1 o'clock, there are people coming in and out frequently. At 3 o'clock, there are people working on the project. The surveillance cameras are located at 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, and 2 o'clock. There are two cameras at 2 o'clock, one facing the inside of the door, and one facing the outside of the door..."

"At eleven o'clock, the place where the two living people are should be the monitoring room. The heat from the server is very bright on the thermal imaging map."

The biochemical information cable extending from Miao Meng's left wrist hummed, and on another computer connected to it, the jumping data quickly outlined a visual image reflecting the internal structure of the building.

Xiangzi glanced at the image.

"Audio integration shows there's space inside the roof position at one o'clock. What's that?"

"Hiss... it's a little hard to see clearly. It should be the maintenance passage leading to the roof, right? I saw a surveillance camera facing the bottom of there."

Xiangzi nodded. She put the audio monitoring interface into the background and called up the floor plan of [Toyosu PIT].

Zoom, punctuate, reconfirm.

The overview map is already densely filled with red dots, short lines and brief texts.

In the middle, there is a large circled room pointed to by countless short lines.

That is the performance hall of Toyosu PIT.

On the stage there was an expensive Yamaha YU9X-PO large hybrid-electric grand piano, which had just been shipped back a few days ago.

That is also the shooting location designated by the client.

"There's only one surveillance camera facing the bottom of the inspection tunnel? The security is weak, so it might be feasible. But if we go that way, we have to climb up the outer wall."

Xiangzi used a stylus to write down the path on the writable screen and asked:

"Meow Meng, how many points do you have in [Flesh]?"

"Clean and tidy 3~"

"That won't work."

Xiangzi drew a small “X” on the new road.

The outer wall of Toyosu PIT is very smooth, with not many places to hold on to or step on. People with a [body: 3] may not be able to climb up the outer wall.

Even if they can do it through the cooperation of two people, it will take a lot of time and the error rate will be very high.

"We still have to check the personnel on duty before deciding on the invasion route."

Xiangzi turned his head.

"Have you found a surveillance camera suitable for hacking?"

"Of course it was early. I found it."

Miao Meng tapped the screen with her little finger that had sparkling diamond nail art.

What was pointed out on the screen was a small corner of the parking lot on the west side of Toyosu PIT.

There, infrared imaging revealed a surveillance camera working alone.

……

The renovations have caused security at Toyosu PIT to become lax. Infrared scans show that the number of security personnel is less than a quarter of the number during normal business hours.

But at the same time, decoration also brings troubles.

Among the construction materials piled outside the venue, there is brand new sound insulation cotton, which means that the decoration of the soundproof wall has not been completed yet.

The old soundproofing has most likely been removed, which means that if someone were to play the piano or sing in the performance hall, the sound would seep in.

No, it's quite dangerous.

“(The client also requested that the scene be set in the evening… Damn, that’s one of the times when security is the tightest!)”

As Miao Meng drove her beloved "Zan Raleigh" out of the alley, she glanced at the red floor plan that Xiangzi shared with her.

Probe in the right place.

Double-layer encrypted outdoor distribution box.

It is less than a quarter of the normal opening time, but there are still more than ten security personnel on site at each time period.

As a Black Mewtwo producer, Mewtwo has entered quite a few "No Entry" places.

But this was the first time she had encountered such a difficult-to-enter venue during renovation.

“(This shoot is really worth the price.)”

Miao Meng glanced at her partner, Xiangzi again.

Xiangzi looked calm and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Chapter 26 Intimacy

The sports car drove westward, not into the spacious parking lot entrance, but onto the ramp.

After a long time, it appeared in a hidden alley behind the parking lot wall.

"From this position, can we hack into the surveillance camera in the corner?"

Xiangzi, who temporarily took over the vehicle, asked.

"Well... let me take a look."

Miao Meng opened the car door, crouched down, leaned forward, and pressed against the wall.

"OK~ Now we're in range."

Miao Meng stared at the surveillance camera that was already visible to the naked eye, pressed her cheekbones, and smiled softly.

The aperture in his eyes lit up, shrank, and spun instantly. Deep inside the brain-computer interface, there was a sound of the central processing unit starting to run at high speed.

At the same time, the infrared indicator light of the surveillance camera flashed imperceptibly.

"Intervention successful~"

At this moment, what Miao Meng saw was no longer the narrow path, but a different scene.

In the red area, various parameters are listed in the corners. The sight is at a very high place, and the status of all the vehicles parked in the parking lot is clearly visible.

"Hmmmm~"

Miao Meng turned her neck to the left.

In the distance, the surveillance camera also turned to the left.

She looked to the right again.

The surveillance camera also turned to the right.

"Perfect."

Miao Meng slapped the back of his neck with his other hand, and a white brain-computer memory chip popped out.

She pulled it out, then stuffed a green one in.

"Transfer all regional surveillance footage."

After this brief command, the brain-computer interface emitted a louder fan cooling sound.

"You are really skilled."

Xiangzi's voice came from the front.

Miao Meng turned off the eye connection and looked forward.

Xiangzi had already gotten off the car. She handed the laptop used for transferring the files to Miaomeng.

Miao Meng took it.

"That's not true. This is indeed my first time to break into the surveillance cameras at a concert hall. However, I have broken into many private residences."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. Some people just like to look at this kind of thing. What can I do about it?"

"No, I won't interfere. Just do your job well."

Xiangzi turned around and got back on the car. Immediately, the engine started humming.

...Wait, the engine?

"Hey, hey! Where are you going?"

Miao Meng stared with wide eyes as Xiangzi started to reverse and shouted.

"Make full use of time." Xiangzi's voice came from the headset, "While you steal the surveillance video, I will estimate how long it will take to drive on different roads to arrive and evacuate smoothly."

"What if I'm discovered while you're gone?"

"Then please try your best to hold on."

"Hey, what—"

The hum of increased speed sounded again and the vehicle moved backwards.

In front of the stunned Miao Meng, "Zhan Raleigh" betrayed its owner and disappeared into the alley.

……

The sun sets towards the west, casting a afterglow on the City of Music, then gradually sinks to the west, leaving the stage to the light emitted by the screens and neon lights.

into the night.

Pastel*Palettes' territory, performance area, inside the motel.

When Miao Meng came out of the misty bathroom wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower, Xiangzi was still sitting in the dark room, staring at the glowing computer screen.

The only sounds in the room were Xiangzi's clicking keyboard and mouse.

"You still watching?"

Miao Meng asked while wiping her hair.

"The simulation results are out."

Xiangzi said without turning his head.

"We imported all the surveillance footage from the shutdown period for simulation, and the results were very good. When did the personnel start patrolling, which route did they take, where did they appear at each time point, and when did they change shifts... As long as they were captured, everything is clear."

"Don't question the professional ability~"

Miao Meng jumped onto the soft big bed behind Xiangzi.
