Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Page 307

But for some reason, she was never caught.

This withdrawal of the lights and waiting lasted for more than ten hours. She could hardly feel the emotional fluctuations. She only felt that her physical strength was decreasing - her energy was also decreasing -

Then, the moment arrived.

About an hour ago, the light's [homing tracker] suddenly flashed.

A circular dot appeared on the [Home Tracker] interface.

"—"

Who else but Aine could be the [Home Tracker] that is linked to the [Home Tracker] of the Light?

Aine is here! ?

Deng saw the other person approaching her! This made her feel her heart rate start to rise——

But Aine just lingered nearby.

Deng quickly understood the situation.

Aine is on the ground.

She couldn't see herself underground.

This is absolutely terrible!

The light began to look for an exit! She had to get back to the ground - she began to move -

But the lights have entered very dangerous territory.

Some mercenaries spotted her. They opened fire, and with no way to fight back, she had to retreat deeper into the ground.

She didn't know why she was so lucky that she managed to escape the other party's pursuit. Once again. But it was undoubtedly a good thing.

But the next thing is not.

Deng found that she couldn't get out. Deng's movement made her mistakenly enter a place surrounded by refugees. The refugees patrolled there, and Deng had to keep hiding. Several times, she was almost shot. Finally, she crawled into a ventilation duct and barely escaped from the fate of being shot into a sieve.

——Escaped here now.

Deng sat on the steps, looking at the mark on the [Home Tracker].

After passing through the ventilation duct, the light came here. The middle section of a duct.

Deng didn't know where this place was, but at least there were no refugees patrolling here.

If she walked any further, she might stray into the refugees' lair. Deng didn't dare to move any further. She just sat there and looked at the mark on the [Home Tracker].

The punctuation is still circling around here.

Deng would hope that Aine would be able to find her...but while waiting, Deng began to feel a little fear.

Fear turned into doubt.

Is that really Aine?

Could it be that the [homing tracker] is malfunctioning?

There is a high possibility of a malfunction - the current state of my brain-computer is a little abnormal -

Just when the lamp started to have random thoughts.

Suddenly.

[——Dinglingling——]

"——!?"

Deng suddenly heard a bell ringing from deep in the passage.

The light started. She looked up.

The ringing sound came from deeper in the sewer.

Since Deng had crawled here from the ventilation duct, she didn't dare to move around. She had never been to any deeper places.

But the ringing sound came from deep inside.

[——Dinglingling——]

The bell is ringing.

There were no other sounds. No mercenaries, or anyone else.

"..."

Deng hesitated for a moment and stood up.

She walked in that direction.

Da da.

Her footsteps echoed softly in the empty sewer.

She walked a short distance.

The ringing sounded getting closer.

then.

The light saw the end of this section of pipe.

The huge pipe was sealed by a thick iron fence, but there was a door on the side of the pipe.

On the door was written [Municipal Waterworks Staff Rest and Maintenance Room].

The ringing sound came from there.

[——Dinglingling——]

The light hesitantly passed through the pipe.

She came to the door.

There is an electronic lock on the door.

Deng hesitated and touched the door lock.

To her surprise, the door unlocked.

……

Back of sewer pipe.

Xiangzi leaned against the wall of the pipe and pressed his computer.

Xiangzi is making a phone call.

She called the radio in her hideout.

Xiangzi certainly didn't expect anyone to answer the radio. After all, she locked the door of the [Municipal Waterway Employee Rest and Maintenance Room] when she left.

What Xiangzi wanted to know was whether anyone nearby responded to the sound of a telephone ringing in the sewer pipe.

When the phone rings, any normal person would want to confirm the situation.

Not to mention those who are in danger.

There is a high probability that the target person will be close to the area where the phone rings.

Therefore, if you can hear footsteps, it means that the target person is on the other side. In this way, Xiangzi and others can forcibly break down the iron fence here and go in to arrest the person - the telephone ringing can even attract the opponent to an area where it is easier for them to take action -

The result was just as Xiangzi had expected.

Da da.

Xiangzi heard footsteps.

Someone is approaching.

The footsteps were quite hesitant, definitely not those of a mercenary who would risk his life for his life.

Xiangzi glanced outside at Chuhua and Hailing who were on guard at the entrance of the passage in the distance.

[Oblivionis: Demolition...]

She was about to give the order to demolish the vehicle.

However, at this time.

beep.

Xiangzi heard the sound of the electronic lock unlocking.

Chapter 3 Phone Call (1k Blade Extra)

Is the electronic lock unlocked?

Is the other party a hacker?

Judging from the arrival speed and unlocking speed, the electronic lock was opened almost instantly.

Miao Meng, who set up the electronic lock, has an Intelligence score of 11. To be able to break her lock so quickly, the Intelligence points required would probably be 13.

No, there is something irrational.

But would someone who has reached [Extraordinary Intelligence] come over and hack the lock like this?

"(Shouldn't we consider how to remotely tap into the phone? By monitoring the line - is there some other way to unlock the door - special software -)"

Just when Xiangzi was feeling doubtful and uncertain, she heard the door in the distance being opened.

The newcomers entered the hideout on Ave Mujica.

then.

【--sand.】

There was a noise coming from Xiangzi's brain.

The other party picked up the phone.

The second thing Xiangzi didn't expect was that the person on the other end would answer the phone like this.

then……

"...Hello...Hello?"

A slightly nervous voice came from the other side of the brain-computer communication.

...There was also a third thing that Xiangzi had not expected.

The voice coming from the communication made Xiangzi freeze in place.
