Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Bang.

There was another loud noise.

In the brain computers of the people present, the visualization chart of the [kinetic energy detector] showed that a bullet with a sense of mass was shot forward from the end of the passage. The data jumped so much that it all looked like a bug.

But not so.

Something was indeed coming from behind.

But it wasn't a bullet.

But a person.

"!"

Even with so many bodyguards, they were unable to stop her. Poppin'Party's "Big Shot" Yamabuki Saya jumped out from the end of the passage and reached the fork in the road in a few tenths of a second.

As she flew over the fork in the road, her left hand could be seen stretched straight forward.

On the back of his left hand, the cyber-modified bionic gauntlet opened, and a thick gun barrel extended from the back of his hand.

That is a very rare cybernetic modification.

[Projectile launching system].

This modification to the hand allows the holder to release a variety of powerful projectiles from his hand, causing different types of damage, such as electric shock, blasting, and chemical corrosion; it can also be used to perform special actions, such as rapid advancement, rapid demolition, etc.

Now, from where Riki, Aine, Suze, and Rakuna were, they could clearly see that the gun barrel had lit up again—

boom!

There was no flame, only the explosion caused by compressed air.

Riki, who was standing at the front, and Aine, who was right behind her, could clearly see that Yamabuki Saya attacked.

The bullet hit the silver-faced man in front and exploded on the back of his head, pushing him deeper into the cave - also causing Sa Ling to fall to the ground due to the reaction, leaving a long braking track on the ground.

Ouch!

This time the sound was just like the one made when the bodyguards were hit at the intersection before.

The silver-faced man was knocked away. He hit the bottom of the Y-shaped intersection and smashed against the wall with a dull thud.

From the sound, the bottom didn't sound very deep, and the impact point was not far from the intersection.

It all happened in a flash.

The extremely high attribute points made for a connection battle that almost exceeded the speed of human eye movement capture.

despair.

Sa Ling stopped on the long carpet burning with sparks, and began to prepare for the next sprint forward.

“Hey…ah…”

At the end of the corridor, the silver-faced man was slowly pulling himself out of the wall. The broken pieces of wall insulation fell down beside him with a "crackling" sound as he pulled himself out.

It can be seen that his entire back of the head and back of the shoulder were blown away by the shells fired by the [Projectile Launch System].

Now, the titanium alloy skeleton and the brain and nervous system wrapped in shockproof soft gel were exposed. The shockproof soft gel was also leaking, and the sticky liquid stuck to his shoulders and body.

——And on his wrist holding the liquid USB flash drive.

The liquid did not touch the liquid USB drive, but the liquid USB drive still looked a little damp.

Because of the impact just now.

The impact just now caused a small crack to appear on the top of the liquid USB flash drive which was sealed with aluminum block and LCD sealing glue.

The gelatinous substance inside leaked out slightly.

"..."

The silver-faced man did not turn his eyes away. He did not need to turn his eyes away. His silver, sensory face told him the truth immediately.

And, one other thing.

"Ugh!"

"Wow!"

"...!"

At the end of the corridor where the silver-faced man was knocked flying, in the elevator hall on the side, there was a cry of surprise.

There were three people there. Their not-so-high attribute points made them react for the first time at this moment.

Those were two staff members who were conducting a routine inspection.

as well as……

Deng Takamatsu is being examined.

Chapter 2 Hostage (6k Blade Extra)

Wherever there is sound, there is a signal.

As long as it is a signal, it will be captured by the brain-computer.

"!"

The distance was not far. These sound signals were captured by the MyGO!!!!! members——

The sound made by the light was very slight, but it still matched the sound she made in the chat channel of MyGO!!!!

"...!"

Lenai still didn't react. She was like an animal observing and waiting for instructions, always paying attention to the people around her.

However, Riki, Aine, and Sushi all had great reactions at this moment.

In addition to sound, there are actually other things that can leave signals.

For example, emotional fluctuations lead to abnormal brain wave activity, causing the person's body temperature to change by a few tenths of a degree to a few tenths of a degree.

This change is also a signal.

Although not everyone's brain-computer operating system and scanning and analysis software can capture this subtle difference in body temperature, they can confirm whether the person's temperature changes naturally or is in extreme emotions by analyzing the temperature change curve.

But there are people and software that can do this.

For example...

The advanced scanning software [Touch Kill] installed in Yamabuki Saya's brain-computer.

"!"

Almost at the same time that the silver-faced man noticed that there was someone in the elevator hall, Sha Ling also noticed that behind the fork in the road, several non-logged-in personnel showed abnormal emotions.

The two people moved separately.

However, different actions were taken.

The silver-faced man rushed towards the elevator hall, trying to catch the three people present.

Sa Ling aimed her [Projectile Launch System] at the fork in the road ahead, in the direction where the four members of MyGO!!!!! were.

The next moment, three people took action.

First up is the man with the silver face.

The man reached forward. His [Physique] points were higher than it looked, and he was able to carry out complex actions despite being so seriously injured.

Then there is Lena from MyGO!!!!!

She sensed something and was about to attack.

The mantis blade popped out from her forearm. The [Qianti Si'an Westin Type 4] on the back of her neck lit up like a blue light belt——

But at this moment, someone's brain-computer signal came.

[Lixi: Wild cat! ]

Li Xi didn't have time to shout, but her brain-computer message still got through.

She knew what was happening—and that if she interfered, she would die—

"..."

Lenai turned back.

At last.

At this moment, behind Le Nai——

Sha Ling's figure returned to the fork in the road.

The black muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the four people from MyGO!!!!! and opened fire.

Ouch!

Before Riki, Aine, Suyo, and Rakuna could react, they were attacked. The huge shockwave was like a strong wind, pushing them back and crashing into the wall.

This was no ordinary attack.

This is a [Tranquilizer Bullet].

High-yield compressed anesthetic gas was injected into the mouths and noses of the four people with the impact force.

At that moment, the four of them lost consciousness immediately before they even had time to catch their breath.

……

At the critical moment, Sha Ling gave priority to dealing with possible hidden dangers.

This is the insurance plan.

But at the same time, it also gave the silver-faced man a chance.

When Sha Ling paused at the fork in the road, accelerated again, and entered the area at the bottom that was connected to the elevator hall, she saw that the silver-faced man in front of her was already standing there holding a hostage.

The hostage he held was a girl with gray hair.

In the distance, two staff members had just escaped from the corner to a deeper room.

It seems that the two staff members had higher [Reaction] points, which allowed them to avoid the silver-faced man when he was trying to catch them.

"..."

Sa Ling glanced briefly at the gray-haired girl.

It was the Happy City ID that Rimi had given him before. It was the person who had just entered by mistake.

This time, Sa Ling came closer. She used her own artificial eye to retrieve the other person's login name.

Takamatsu lights.

The name seemed slightly familiar to her.

"(...The band member that Kasumi had her eyes on before...?)"

That's roughly the impression I have.

It was a little surprising for Sha Ling to appear here.

...However, this kind of thing is not something that should be discussed under the current circumstances.

chapped.

Sa Ling took a small step forward.

"Don't get close!"

On the opposite side, the silver-faced man immediately warned.

His prosthetic eye was lit, he held Deng's shoulder with one hand, and stood there with the other hand holding the liquid USB flash drive with a crack on the top.

"Let me go. The Toyokawa family will have the final say on everything. I've called for the Toyokawa family's vehicle."

The silver-faced man said.

"If you go one step further, I will insert the virus into this girl's brain," he said. "The virus will enter CiRCLE's main server along the internal channel of the venue where she is connected to CiRCLE."

"..."
