Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

There was a burning sensation in my heart.

It felt like something was squeezing my internal organs.

The light vomited.

She spits out some green acid.

Not fluorescent green, though.

……

Spitting that stuff out made the light feel better.

"(Virus.)"

Light thought.

She drank the virus.

but……

"(Can computer viruses be transmitted through the digestive tract?)"

Deng drank it because he thought he would not be infected.

At that moment, she could only drink it.

Now, Deng didn't know whether his judgment was correct.

but……

It doesn't look like the situation is particularly bad.

To be honest, Deng didn't feel any discomfort.

Although she felt nauseous and vomited, she had never heard of any computer virus rather than biological virus that could cause nausea and vomiting.

There were no injuries on her body.

She didn't even notice how much damage the vehicle had caused her when it was bombed, hit, or fell into the river - although this might have been due to the [Colby] -

Deng touched the back of his neck with his hand.

The external interface of the brain-computer is not broken and is not hot.

The brain computer is fine.

The light turned on the brain-computer interface again.

The signal status is still jumping back and forth. Some interfaces that require an internet connection also have a little bit of screen distortion, but all basic functions are still usable.

Is my judgment correct...?

Didn't the virus affect you?

At least Deng felt that, based on what Miss Yamabuki and the silver-faced man said at the time, the [Integrated Virus] contained in the glass tube was a virus with a very large amount of information.

Deng has experience in "raising" viruses... Although it sounds a bit strange to say this, she still has the most basic understanding of viruses.

She knew that viruses were things that would occupy the brain's computing power.

If a virus with such a large amount of information were to be inserted into the brain of a person who is not connected to the Internet, the consequences it could cause would definitely be more than what it is experiencing now.

A crash is the most likely outcome.

Brainburn is relatively rare and a bit worse.

Cyberpsychosis is also possible...

But now, this reaction is obviously too small.

Ding.

At this moment, Deng's brain-computer panel jumped to her physiological indication report.

Analysis of the physiological indication report showed that the level of heavy metal particles in the blood was 219μg/L.

More than double the normal value.

"(...poisoned...)"

The lamp is physically poisoned.

It must be because there was something wrong with the virus carrier that I drank.

It seems that my hands and feet are numb, I am weak, I am sleepy, and my brain and computer react slowly...

It is a physiological manifestation caused by heavy metal poisoning.

However, when Deng was looking at the physiological indicator report, the heavy metal particle index was still decreasing.

After vomiting, Deng's body is slowly recovering.

At the same time, Deng found himself beginning to suffer from severe night sweats.

This is also a sign that the body is excreting heavy metals.

but……

“(It’s so cold.)”

Deng folded his arms.

Rain falls on the overlit white coat.

Now, it is raining.

Vomiting, night sweats and a humid environment cause the body temperature of the lamp to drop.

The fatigue didn't completely disappear. Deng still felt tired. Analysis of the physiological indicator report showed that Deng had a high fever about one to two hours ago. She guessed that this fatigue should be the residual effect of the high fever that she could not remember.

rescue...

Rescue will come, right?

Deng felt uneasy, but she had no way to confirm it now.

Light glanced at the car.

If possible, she didn't really want to get back in.

So she looked back, trying to find a place where she could temporarily shelter from the rain.

then.

"..."

Deng saw something shocking.

It was a huge, dark mouth.

...No, the mouth is just a metaphor.

Behind the lamp is a very high wall. In order for the river to pass through the wall, there is an entrance to an underground waterway as wide and high as the river.

The light slowly approached it.

The fill light of the prefabricated eye sockets also cannot see the depths of the underground waterway, which is even more disturbing than the front of the artificial river.

When I turned around, I saw the front of the [Colby] car.

The front of the car is facing the entrance to the underground waterway.

"..."

[Colby] Did you originally want to enter the entrance to the underground waterway?

Does it want to drive forward along this path?

then……

where to go?

The lights slowly approached the underground waterway.

The closer you get, the more unsettling the depths become.

It was quiet inside, without any sound of people, animals or machines moving.

It is hard to believe where the vehicle would go if it entered.

at this time.

Snapped!

"!"

There was gunfire from behind.

Deng was startled and turned around.

There were sporadic gunshots coming from the shore.

The neighborhood doesn't look safe.

Deng reached behind him for the gun.

Didn't touch it.

She didn't have her M-10AF Lexington rifle with her for self-defense.

She came directly from the live venue CiRCLE. When entering the venue, due to security requirements, MyGO!!!!! and his group left all their guns on Su Shi's [Curtis V5000].

"..."

Snap, snap.

The gunshots rang out again.

The sounds became more frequent and closer.

At least staying outside was not a good decision.

Deng looked back one last time and walked quickly towards the entrance of the underground waterway.

The darkness engulfed her figure.

Chapter 280 Inspection

Behind the one-way transparent glass is a small single room of less than ten square meters.

The room is surrounded by off-white walls on three sides, which are covered with dot-shaped sound-absorbing materials.

In the middle of the room is a table and two chairs.

On the table, a large [Lie Detector-Psychological Analyzer] was lighting up with yellow and green lights.

There is a special metallic nameplate on the side of the psychological analyzer:

【BCPD-for interrogation only】.

There were two people sitting on the chairs on both sides of the table.

On the right is a police officer in a BCPD police uniform.

His artificial eye was connected to a huge [imaging and recording device].

Sitting opposite him was a student with long pink hair.

Chihaya Aine.

Aiyin's wrists were connected to the [imaging-recording device]. Thin and dense rubber rings connected her arteries and veins, and it was obvious that they were monitoring the physiological signs of the person involved.

Shala.

The BCPD officer across the street flipped over a thin plastic clipboard.

"So, on the day of the incident, when you were walking down the corridor of CiRCLE, you didn't notice anything."

"……Yes."

Aine looked very nervous. Her back was straightened—

Of course, anyone in this situation would be equally nervous.
