Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Hai Ling put on the bracelet and used her employee card to open the door to the employee passage.

"..."

Hai Ling's artificial eye lit up slightly.

Above, Mu switched the artificial eye he took over from [Oblivionis] to [Timoris].

Hai Ling entered the employee passage. Above her head was a surveillance camera probe that had a virtual image temporarily implanted into it.

Hai Ling passed under the camera and took the staff stairs to the second underground floor.

She came out from the employee door on the second basement floor and handed her employee card to Mu who was standing at the door.

Mu stood there for a while, then walked forward.

As he walked past the workbench, Mu stuffed the employee card back into Xiangzi's hand.

Chapter 2 Stage and Stage (3k monthly tickets plus more)

Click.

CiRCLE, ground floor.

The winding backstage.

A hidden employee door opened, and Chu Hua walked in from behind it, dragging a large box.

In the darkness, Xiangzi, Hailing, Miaomeng and Hemu had already been waiting there.

The door closed behind Chu Hua. Hai Ling took the big box that Chu Hua was carrying.

"How about it?"

Chu Hua asked in a low voice.

"Excellent," said Xiangzi. "Perfect operation. It fits the plan perfectly."

Chuhua nodded.

Everyone walked down along the staff stairs.

"What's the situation of the target person?" Xiangzi asked Miao Meng.

"Taking the elevator~" Miao Meng said, pressing her artificial eye.

Just now, when she was registering the target person from the Toyokawa family as [Allowed to Enter], she did a little extra trick.

She had pasted an extra short message sending code into the [Access Permitted] code she gave that person.

This is a very risky move, because at the latest when the other party meets, the sending code will be discovered by the routine scanning conducted by the negotiating personnel.

...However, this is also part of the plan, so there is no need to worry.

Now, everyone can enjoy the benefits of this move -

——GPS positioning.

Miao Meng shared the location of the target person from the Toyokawa family.

At the moment, it seems they are still taking the elevator on the second underground floor.

Their destination was the meeting area on the fourth floor underground.

This is what Miao Meng found out after pretending to be a staff member and scanning.

"We have to take the elevator from the second underground floor to the fourth underground floor...it's faster for us to take the stairs." Miao Meng said with a smile.

At this moment, the five people have arrived at the fourth floor underground.

There are some cabinets and long benches scattered in the staff passage on the fourth floor underground.

Not many people. After all, it's a busy time.

Everyone walked over quickly and opened the cabinets.

Inside are employee uniforms, half-face armor, tungsten steel headbands, and maintenance equipment.

This is exactly what they need.

To get closer to the goal.

They need better disguises than they have now.

The five people began to search. The cabinet made a "swish, swish" sound.

Chuhua, Hailing, Mu and Xiangzi did not speak. They just performed the actions quickly.

Only Miao Meng kept talking in the brain-computer channel.

[Amoris: Wow... what an old accessory... is it the AK-9M01 headband? Poppin'Party still uses this for its staff...]

[Amoris: ...This uniform is not much different from the one I'm wearing! I think mine looks better!]

[Amoris: Hey, this armor is cool! Doloris, Mortis, I think you can change to something like this, it's more classy──]

【Amoris:……】

No one responded.

Miao Meng was about to say something like "We need to activate our brains more"...

...Suddenly, she thought of something.

【Amoris: Oh, that’s right.】

Miao Meng held the staff's coat and poked his head out from behind the metal cabinet.

[Amoris: Come to think of it, that target person is strange.]

[Oblivionis: Weird? What is it? ]

Xiangzi took a silk scarf and tie from the hanger, turned around and asked.

Then, she saw Miao Meng's smiling eyes.

[Amoris: Finally someone responded~]

[Amoris: Guess~? ]

[Oblivionis: ...It shouldn't be anything important. ]

Xiangzi turned his head back again.

【Amoris: Hello! Hello!】

Miao Meng’s eyes widened.

[Amoris: Doesn’t this sound important?]

[Oblivionis: If it's important information, you won't joke about it. You'll tell it directly.]

Xiangzi said as he took out a blue and white uniform skirt.

[Amoris: ...Oblivionis, do you believe me or do you not believe me...? ]

Meow Meng raised an eyebrow.

And Xiangzi has already started arranging the next task.

[Oblivionis: Mortis, Timoris, Doloris. Tell me the number of equipment and I will distribute it——]

【Amoris: Wow! Don’t let me finish my words! Okay! I’ll tell you!】

Miao Meng shouted in panic—even though it was in her brain—

[Amoris: That guy——the guy sent by the Toyokawa family! He is silver! ]

silver……?

Xiangzi frowned.

People are silver?

What does it mean?

She was about to continue asking when Miao Meng suddenly jumped out from behind the metal cabinet again.

This time, she pressed the brain computer, and blue digital light flashed in her pupils.

[Amoris: The target person is on the elevator! ]

【Oblivionis:……】

Looks like this isn't the time for small talk.

【Oblivionis: Let's hurry up. 】

Xiangzi instructed everyone to speed up.

……

Inside CiRCLE.

The second floor above ground.

In three hours, Poppin'Party's sponsored live show will begin.

Rehearsals are going on in full swing.

Near the stairs, there were crowds of invited band members holding their own instruments.

They will go on stage one by one to debug their brain-computer, sound pressure control software, instrument connectors, effects and digital storage links.

The five members of MyGO!!!!! were also among them.

"……Wow."

Looking at the stage from behind the electronic one-way blackout curtain at the backstage, Aine sighed.

"CiRCLE is indeed the home of Poppin'Party!" She hugged her mint green ESP guitar and stuck out her tongue, "What a big venue!"

At first glance, there are at least two thousand seats.

From the outside, you can't tell that this is such a large building. Perhaps this is also a progress in the application of optical camouflage in the field of architecture.

“Didn’t we see it through the holographic projection in the rehearsal room?” Su Shi walked past Aine, folded her arms, and said.

“What I see in the holographic projection is different from what I actually see!” Aine said, “This is the first time I’m going to be on a stage like this…”

She paused.

However, this time she stabilized her condition.

“It’s going to be an incredible experience to perform on the CiRCLE stage!” she said.

……

at the same time.

Inside CiRCLE.

Fourth floor underground.

Directions to the elevator.

Ding.

The elevator bell rang softly.

The door opened.

The Toyokawa family members, dressed in gray suits, filed out.

At the elevator entrance, someone was already waiting to greet them.

Tall figure and smiling mouth.

The one who greeted the Toyokawa family was Meowme, who was wearing a staff coat.

"Waiting for the meeting, please go this way~"

Miao Meng stretched out his hand.

She pointed them to a fork in the maze-like CiRCLE's fourth underground floor.
