Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Inside the townhouse complex, there were flashes of fire and gunfire.

These sounds and lights traveled further.

not far away.

The roof of a villa.

Xiangzi, wearing a black and red Gothic long skirt, sat on the edge of the eaves.

The wind blew her long hair.

She pressed the computer.

"...Shasha...leaving..."

An ambiguous monitoring voice was heard from the brain computer.

"..."

Xiangzi is not staying here alone.

Behind Xiangzi, Chuhua and Hailing stood on his left and right.

The firelight shone on Xiangzi's body, making Chuhua and Hailing behind her look like her shadows extending out from the darkness.

Chapter 3 Do you play Minesweeper? (k monthly tickets plus more)

Xiangzi discovered the abnormality during a comprehensive search of [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

At that time, the [Columbus] freight van on Ave Mujica was speeding on the avenue of [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

Twenty hours had passed since Xiangzi, Chuhua and Hailing began searching for the Colby that had entered this place.

Chu Hua sat in the driver's seat and drove the vehicle.

Hai Ling fell asleep leaning on the passenger seat.

Xiangzi was lying on the back seat.

Chuhua and Hailing had both slept for a while, but Xiangzi had just fallen asleep.

The search was carried out in an orderly manner.

By this time, the three of them had already checked more than three quarters of the area of ​​[Phase 2 of Reclamation Land].

This is quite efficient.

Xiangzi is confident that if BCPD comes to search, their efficiency will not be half as good as his own.

All thanks to her plan.

In fact, Xiangzi was just doing a simple empathy exercise.

There are refugees and mercenaries in the second phase of the reclamation site.

If a foreign vehicle — or a self-driving foreign vehicle with people on board — enters their sphere of influence —

What will happen?

The identity of the visitor is unknown. These refugees and mercenaries will definitely open fire.

They will warn and try to intercept the [Colby]...

…just as they warn and try to intercept all “unknown visitors.”

So, Xiangzi gave the order to "drive along the road".

Ave Mujica's [Columbus] freight van travels through these roads and byways.

Xiangzi had a map in her hand, but she still didn't know where the refugees and mercenaries' checkpoints were.

but it does not matter.

The sound of the gunfire would tell her.

Da da da.

When passing some sections of the road, tongues of flame would burst out from the houses along the road.

These are refugees and mercenaries stationed at fixed checkpoints, attacking. They are trying to intercept the van.

This is the basis of the shift plan developed by Xiangzi.

[Whenever you hear a threatening gunshot, drivers need to evacuate immediately and pull the vehicle onto the main road. Then, find the nearest surveillance camera.]

After finding the probe, the driver needs to immediately contact the hacker group in the Moon Forest: Meow Dream Harmony, and ask them to hack into the surveillance camera probe through transfer, and search the surveillance camera probe for all sound files captured during the time period of "after confirming that [Colby] entered [Reclamation New Land Phase 2]".

If the surveillance cameras did not capture any gunshots or other commotion, it means that no other unattended vehicles passed through the area like the Columbus on Ave Mujica.

Then, this street and the entire area including the buildings on its left and right sides do not need to be checked.

They will be erased from the map. The [Columbus] cargo van will take the three people and immediately go to the next area.

And so on and on.

The eliminated maps were connected to each other, and the "dead zone" enclosed on all sides was circled, helping Xiangzi to eliminate more areas logically.

Very efficient. Very fast.

For the time being, the [Colby] has not been found.

However, Xiangzi was not worried.

Because Xiangzi also asked Miaomeng and Mu to hack into the road surveillance in areas where there had been no gunfire, and connected to the Ave Mujica host in Yuezhisen for real-time monitoring.

Miao Meng yelled "Too much, too much, the server is going to smoke!", but she was quickly defeated by Mu's statement "It can run normally" and admitted that she was too tired to smoke.

Xiangzi would not personally search these areas where there had been no gunfire.

That's too slow.

During the 20 hours of searching, Xiangzi discovered one thing:

The [big shots] haven’t started searching [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] yet.

Maybe the seven bands were busy dealing with problems with the Toyokawa family. Or maybe the seven bands were busy dealing with problems among themselves.

In short, [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] has been cordoned off, but so far, there has been no movement indicating that anyone other than Xiangzi and his group is searching the area.

So what Xiangzi needs to do is not to search [Colby].

But to search [the person being searched].

The people searching will be constantly moving, coming in and out, and there will be a lot of them. This is much easier to find than a shabby Colby sedan that has disappeared somewhere.

Of course, after completing the inspection of the entire [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land], Xiangzi also planned to come and look for it in person.

After all, time is very important to her.

It would be best if we could find it before other search teams show up.

But that's luck at work.

Xiangzi can't leave everything to luck.

The best solution is: Ave Mujica found the [Colby] sedan himself during the investigation.

The second-best option is: Ave Muijica found audio files of refugees and mercenaries firing guns hours or even minutes ago during the investigation, and then found the Colby sedan that was seized by refugees and mercenaries.

The second-level suboptimal plan is: Ave Muijica found audio files of refugees and mercenaries firing guns hours or even tens of minutes ago during the investigation, and then, following this clue, he found the Colby car himself.

The third-level suboptimal plan is: Ave Muijica failed to find the [Colby] car, but the Moon Forest server captured other people who were conducting a search. Ave Mujica can observe their movements and get ahead of them, or rob them halfway and take away everything they find.

Xiangzi prepared all the plans.

This was the most comprehensive search method she could think of after Colby did not show up at the two scheduled locations.

“This is the best way to troubleshoot.”

Xiangzi said this to Chuhua, Hailing, Miaomeng and Mu at that time.

Everyone believed in Xiangzi.

If anyone has any doubts...

...That's Xiangzi himself.

Is this really the best way to troubleshoot?

Are there any security loopholes?

Are there any uncontrollable factors in the actual operation?

Could there be any logical loopholes?

Xiangzi kept thinking about this matter.

So, during the first 18 hours of the search, she stayed awake to personally confirm the progress of the entire plan and make sure that everything was going as expected.

It was not until most of the plan had been carried out that Xiangzi finally fell asleep after Mu said, "Oblivionis, physiological indicators have declined."

However, just two hours later...

beep.

Ave Mujica's brain-computer channel then received a communication.

It was sent by Miao Meng.

【Amoris: Doloris! I found something! 】

Miao Meng just called out the name of Chu Hua who was on duty.

but……

【Oblivionis: What did you find? 】

Xiangzi immediately woke up from his light sleep.

Chapter 3: Suboptimal Solution (k Blade Extra)

【Amoris: Oblivionis!? Why are you awake... When do you sleep? 】

【Amoris: Well, look at this! 】

【Amoris: #Remote access to surveillance camera system】

Miao Meng sent a permission.

Chuhua and Xiangzi connected it to their brain-computers one after another.

Hai Ling also woke up at this time, and her green prosthetic eye lit up in the darkness.

All three of them saw the footage captured by a surveillance camera system.

This is a camera shot on a road in a townhouse area.

The camera captured the flickering of fire in the townhouses not far away in the dark night.

Audio files show that the flames were accompanied by gunfire.

There was a firefight going on there.

[Amoris: I noticed it just now! Someone is moving in the new area...]

[Amoris: It should be one person... The imaging is not regular, and there may be another person with him! The target moved from the 1/4 area that we haven't checked yet. However, I couldn't be sure at the time whether it was a person entering the new land for search, or a refugee or mercenary on the move! I'm still observing...]

[Amoris: Then, the target entered the townhouse area! Soon, a gunfight broke out here——]

[Amoris: -- Do you think they are here to steal something? ]

Xiangzi immediately looked at the distance on the map.

The map shows that the incident site is not far away, only a few kilometers away.

【Oblivionis: Go immediately. 】

Xiangzi gave instructions to Chuhua, who was in charge of driving.
