Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

She also noticed the blood.

"…Oblivionis, your hand."

Mu whispered.

"fine."

Xiangzi said.

Xiangzi wiped the palm of his hand with the sheath of the Nirvana scabbard.

The matched metal sheath mouth can partially eliminate the alkaloids secreted by Nirvana.

The rest is just waiting for natural healing.

"Oblivionis, too desperate, huh?"

Miao Meng heard the conversation between the two and noticed this and said with a smile.

"Are you getting wounds too often?"

"… a small problem."

When Chuhua and Hailing noticed this, Xiangzi said and walked towards the employee door.

Open this staff door and behind it is the first floor lobby of CiRCLE.

Go through here and walk forward, you will reach the main entrance of CiRCLE.

People on Ave Mujica can leave directly from there.

Xiangzi stretched out his uninjured hand toward the door handle.

however.

sand.

Xiangzi stopped there.

She looked at the resin viewing window in the door.

After a few seconds.

beep.

The staff door was swiped open.

……

Dongsha.

The staff door was pushed open.

Two staff members, a man and a woman, ran into the employee passage in a hurry.

"How long will the live last!?"

One of the female employees asked loudly.

The female employee was holding a pile of smooth, colorful cloth in her hands, which looked like something that would be used on stage.

"One hour and forty-seven minutes!"

The male employee used his artificial eye to check the schedule and the time progress and shouted.

He was also holding a large box in his hands, which was filled with sound effect modules, sound plug-ins and temporary microphones.

"How's the 3D scenery for the final stage?"

"Oh, we have to solve this problem now-"

The two of them quickly discussed their work situation while jogging into the employee passage.

There was no one in this area of the staff passage.

Only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance and above.

Most of the employees had already gone to the stage area on the second floor for the live performance.

"No one's there! The rehearsal is probably halfway through - I said we should hurry up, right?"

"Don't worry! The alcohol spray gun hasn't arrived yet!"

The two employees were obviously also going to the stage area on the second floor.

They trotted up the stairs.

They quickly reached the second floor—and met no one else on the way—

There were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up beside the employee door on the second floor, including some employee gadgets, scanning tools, headbands, face armor, etc. These items were placed in cartons and placed in places that were easy to access.

The two employees squeezed through the items and swiped open the employee door on the second floor again.

"Hiss...Wow."

Outside the staff door is the staircase leading to the rear passage of CiRCLE.

Now, the place is packed with people.

They are band members waiting to go on stage for rehearsal, and band members who have just finished rehearsal.

Most of them also carried their own musical instruments, which made the already narrow aisle even more crowded.

"Let's let one let, let one let!"

The two turned on the loudspeaker sensor element and shouted.

"Give way!"

But there were too many people, and we couldn’t just give way if we wanted to.

"Ouch—make way!"

Two employees tried to squeeze through the crowd, and the cloth and large cardboard boxes they were holding were pushed around.

These things brushed against the boxes of sundries stacked on the side of the employee door—

Sand.

Some boxes of sundries were accidentally knocked over and the contents spilled out.

They are all small accessories and auxiliary tools.

"Something fell over!"

The female employee walking in front turned around and shouted.

“Hey – never mind!” the male employee behind shouted, “We don’t have a second pair of prosthetic arms! We don’t have hands anymore – just deliver the stuff over first!”

Two people squeezed forward from behind - the male employee blocked the automatic closer of the employee door with his foot -

There were occasional sounds of objects falling from behind, such as "shua la, dang dang". However, they no longer paid attention to what was happening behind them.

"..."

But someone cared for them.

Dropped debris box.

Items scattered on the ground.

It's perfect for hiding situations.

"Mortis, give it to me."

The location of the stairs leading to the third floor from the second floor, Xiangzi said softly.

The five people from Ave Mujica hid here quietly. Hiding in the darkness without being noticed.

Xiangzi took the half-face armor handed to her by Mu and put it on the other half-face armor she was holding.

The two face armors overlapped each other.

The bloodstains on the previous face armor were hidden.

CiRCLE employees are not allowed to take their belongings out of CiRCLE.

It will trigger an alarm.

Originally, Xiangzi was planning to just throw these things somewhere...

Now, this is pretty good.

In the darkness, Xiangzi raised his hand and threw out the two stacked face armors.

Clang.

Amid the sound of debris falling, two face armors fell into a shorter cardboard box behind two employees who were leaving.

Very hidden.

Now, if these face armors are discovered again, it will definitely be after the live show is over.

Up ahead, two employees didn't notice the small movement.

"Let's go!"

"It's coming—I said it's coming!"

They talked and moved forward.

The staff door equipped with a slow-acting automatic door closer is slowly closing.

however.

Just opposite the staff door, next to the stairs...

…Someone noticed this situation.

"...?"

The team members were talking in front of them, saying things like "The passage in the old building is narrow, even though the venue is quite large", "Hey, are we going to wait here forever? Can't we go to the rest area? Our rehearsal is over~", "We are just going to the rest area" and "Matcha Parfait"...

MyGO!!!!!'s lead singer, Tomori Takamatsu, looked towards the staff door.

Chapter 2: Butterfly flaps its wings (4k monthly tickets plus extra)

Deng was sure that he saw something falling from behind the two men.

They knocked over some stuff, but...

"(Did that fall out of the box they knocked over?)"

The light doesn't look like it.

Because the object landed at a different angle.

"(Did they drop their own stuff?)"

Squeak...

The employee door is about to close.

"!"

Seeing that the door was about to close, Deng hurriedly took a few steps forward.
