Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

So, Miao Meng didn't dare to say anything.

She looked at Toyokawa Shoko, the desperate guy, crazier than any cyberpsychopath she had ever seen, who insisted on wading into such muddy water, and shook hands with Bailu Qiansheng.

"You will be satisfied."

How can you laugh?

Did you weld the titanium face armor onto your face?

After shaking hands with Xiangzi, Qiansheng walked towards Miaomeng.

What else can Miao Meng do?

“…Ha, ha, it’s an honor to work for Pastel*Palettes.”

Miao Meng could only force out an ugly smile.

……

"Crazy, crazy! You guys are all crazy!"

"The Madness Control Team shouldn't be arresting those screaming bomb madmen on the street. They should be here! You, you... you are the one who should be arrested!"

bang.

In the alley.

Miao Meng kicked out a can of [Refreshing 200%! Diet Coke], and the aluminum can hit the lid of the trash can with a crisp sound.

There is no need to pretend anymore.

Miao Meng turned around abruptly, bent down, and pointed at Xiangzi's chest viciously with her hand.

"【Points: 3】! Only 【Calmness】 is 4! Even if we want to sneak into a concert hall that is being renovated like this, I have to bring you along. Without me, you can't get in even if you can fly!"

"And you still want to do this? Go to the Avex base and steal some high-tech damn robot - please! That's not something you can get - and I can't do it! The security there is ten times tighter than here! There are hackers on duty, the most advanced combination locks, and heat guns that can evaporate the enemy in an instant - ha!"

The fingertips with manicure poked Xiangzi's shoulder blade, and the stinging sensation made Xiangzi frown slightly.

"You still feel pain? Hey! When the mercenaries hired by Avex for security work crushed you to death, it hurt a thousand, ten thousand times more than this!"

Miao Meng was speechless. She raised her hands, swung them helplessly in the air, and then threw them down with all her strength.

"You want to die, no one can stop you! But me!"

"Why did you bring me here? Now I know the secret of Pastel*Palettes - assassinating the leader of another band! Haha, if I run away, the sniper rifle with a range of 3 kilometers will shoot me in the head!"

"I can only accept this order! But what if I accept it?"

"Took it, failed, and died."

"I took it, and it worked. Very good, very good, God, my great-grandmother, the God of Hackers, the Machine Spirit, or some other random thing blessed me - and then what?"

"I screwed Roselia! Even if I didn't kill Yukina Minato, I at least stole the things they were guarding right under their noses!"

"Can I still hang out in Roselia's territory?"

"What I have accumulated over the years! I finally found a stable supply chain, a stable customer base, and a stable business location..."

"After screwing Roselia, can I still go back to work there?"

"Whether this order is successful or not, I have nothing left!"

"...I asked you if you would give the rest of your life to me." Xiangzi said.

Miao Meng almost coughed up blood.

"I'm warning you, my [Calmness] is only 3. Don't expect me to always act rationally."

"..."

"My brain-computer operating system doesn't have the right plug-in installed. But you can still guess how long it will take to roast your brain—"

"...If you kill me, can you complete this order by yourself?"

"——You really think you can accomplish it!"

"of course."

"what……"

"I'm sorry that you're about to lose your bar business," said Xiangzi.

Why don't you look sorry at all on your face?

"But I'll give you a better place to go."

"...Just you?"

"I'm going to form a private mercenary team. First as an underground mercenary team, and then debut as a band in the open. The deal with Pastel*Palettes is the first step to gain a firm foothold."

"…Mercenary turned part-time, band? Hey, aren't you following the path of the Seven Bands? Roselia and RAS both made their fortunes this way—"

"Meow Dream, I hope you can come work for me. I promise you can climb to a higher position than you can stay in Roselia's territory."

"...Are you serious?"

"Reclamation of new land, Phase 2."

"what."

Miao Meng could hardly laugh. She supported her forehead and sat against the low wall nearby.

After a while, Miao Meng raised his eyes.

"…Why are you looking for me?"

“Because of the face, and the number.”

"Tsk."

Miao Meng made a loud click of his tongue.

"Time is running out, and among the limited options, you are the best solution."

"...What about the bulletin board? You've found a bulletin board for hackers. There must be someone more suitable than me."

"..."

"Are you doing this to get revenge on me for cheating you out of 30,000 yuan?"

"..."

"Wow! You're really petty!"

Miao Meng jumped up and pointed at Xiangzi's nose.

Xiangzi looked at Miao Meng, who was taller than her, with her slanted eyes.

"..."

Silence is contagious. Miao Meng has nothing to say.

"……call……"

She exhaled the air from her lungs heavily.

"What about eight hundred thousand?"

Agreed reward.

"Not from the beginning. Just made up a number that was almost attractive to get you to come."

Not even 800,000!!!

Miao Meng felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would have a blood clot in his brain stem.

"Who released you from the Cyber ​​Psychiatric Detention Center to harm others?"

"As long as we complete this order, let alone 800,000 yuan," Xiangzi said calmly, "Patel*Palettes will give us 8 million yuan."

"Ha, that's like promising me eight million for sleeping on a landmine for one night."

Miao Meng almost went crazy. But Xiangzi showed an expression as if he was thinking about something at this time.

"But you are right about one thing."

"what?"

"We need 800,000 yuan now," Xiangzi said, "We have to make money first."

"Making money!?"

Miao Meng felt that the blood clots in his brain stem seemed to have increased.

Chapter 34: Making money is not shabby

Sometimes, there are things that you can decide.

Sometimes, they can't.

The next day.

The border between Pastel*Palettes and Roselia territory.

Walled City District.

This is the cheapest housing in the entire Pastel*Palettes area. Thin green single-room prefabricated houses are stacked up like boxes, forming a series of buildings. Some buildings are close to each other, while others are far away. However, there are simple bridges built privately to connect them.

This is already very messy.

But the residents living here obviously don't mind a little more chaos.

So, crude illegal structures climbed up crookedly. Covered terraces spread randomly, and all kinds of path-saving springboards extended from all imaginable positions. Electric wires and network cables were tangled in the air, and various satellite signal antennas grew out of the cracks in the windows and roofs, as if they were brought here by rain and birds.

The people living here are just like these chaotic buildings, growing wildly. There are only two kinds of people living here: those who worry about whether they will have food to eat tomorrow, and those who worry about whether their heads will still be on their necks tomorrow.

Neither of these two types of people is likely to meddle in other people's affairs.

……

The corner of a prefabricated house on a certain floor in the Walled City area.

Cardboard boxes and steel frames were piled up in a corner. In addition, there was an old arcade machine.

Next to the old arcade machine, there were two people squatting.

A man faced the open entrance of the prefabricated house, holding a knife in his hand.

It’s Xiangzi.

Another person was inserting the biochemical information cable in his hand into the charging port of the arcade machine.

It’s a meow dream.

Kara, Kara.

After confirming that the biochemical information cable was successfully connected, Miao Meng entered a reverse command into the brain-computer.

The words that only she could see began to jump rapidly.
