Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

The metal shelf made a horrible sound. It was being pushed back.

"Follow the enemy procedures when encountering them. Capture them alive," she said.

Then, a black shadow flashed.

"—"

She jumped over the collapsed shelves! She flew over—

"Why are you working so hard--!!!"

J072 grabbed the [Micro Missile Launcher] from J091's shoulder! He pulled the trigger -

Bang—Boom!

The light filled the entire resource transfer station in an instant.

The cargo was burning and smoke was billowing out.

The three believers were pushed back. Two BCPD newcomers, a man and a woman, were affected and lost consciousness - this was natural, the power was so great -

But another person jumped out from the thick smoke.

Li Xi, who was holding the [Gorilla Arm], did not lose consciousness. She raised her hands flat in front of her face and took the blow head-on.

She stepped forward—approaching the three followers—

then.

On J018's horrified face, the prosthetic eye lit up.

【Mortis: What happened? 】

Mu's [Mortis] account entered J018's brain-computer through the transmitter.

Chapter 3: The Spirit Behind the Scenes (7k monthly tickets plus more)

occur……

A lot of things happened.

But J018 had no time to explain.

"The BCPD attack—"

He only had time to say this.

The sound of pressurized air.

The roar of the pumps.

The wind howled.

[Gorilla Arm] pushed through the smoke and came to J018's face——

but.

At the same time, something else covered this horrific scene.

"—"

Bright green, glowing strings suddenly popped out of J018's prosthetic eye, covering his entire field of vision.

Translucent, bright blue boxes popped out sideways and lit up one by one. As the eyeballs moved, countless processes slid from the right to the left, running at a rapid speed.

【//Get permissions. 】

【//Output port requisition. 】

【//Safety lock is on. 】

[//Confirm that quick cracking can be performed...]

The words poured out, staying on the retina for less than 0.1 second.

The speed of directly retrieval of brain waves is much faster than verbal instructions or keyboard typing.

【Target positioning】

【Electromagnetic short circuit】

【Collective infection】

[Prosthetic Overheat]...

Densely packed [Quick Cracking] icons appeared, superimposed on the text and codes, and then quickly disappeared.

At the top of the line of sight, a bright blue, empty brain-computer process RAM bar popped up.

【Mortis: Take over.】

The moment I heard this sentence from the transmitter, the originally empty RAM bar was filled with blue data grids.

The next moment, the [gorilla arm] hit the side of J018's neck.

"Goo--cough!"

The trachea and aorta were squeezed. J018 groaned.

but……

It's not as painful as I imagined.

Crunch.

There was a faint red light at the joints of the opponent's [gorilla arm].

Mu's voice sounded faintly in J018's brain.

【Mortis: Prosthetic overheated. 】

The visitor raised his head because of the momentary surprise.

Her facial features and electronic badge were captured by the transmitter and fed back to Mu.

The enemy's name immediately popped up in Mu's information database.

[BCPD Reserve Police Officer – Terrorism and Violence Special Edition: Tachibana Shiina].

Mu's eyes widened slightly for a moment.

But Mu said nothing.

She was just the leader of the team, making a judgment on the other party's identity and then issuing orders according to the emergency plan.

【Mortis: Evacuate the building immediately.】

Conducting an apparent high-level hack on a BCPD officer risks raising the level of suspicion.

But now, I can't care about that anymore.

Shiina Riki attempts to capture three believers.

Since the BCPD possesses instruments such as the "Superdream Recorder" that can extract information directly from the brain, whether the believers are captured alive or their bodies are taken away, the secret of Ave Mujica will be exposed.

At all costs, this must be avoided.

Mu will do everything in his power to prevent this from happening.

……

Pushing over the shelves and kicking away the emergency rations, first aid kits and [Armalet 44] pistols, three believers, J018, J072 and J091, ran to the window of the resource transfer station.

"..."

Li Xi chased after him without saying a word.

The three believers were evacuating while shooting. The bullets from the assault rifle and submachine gun did hit Li Xi - although most of them were blocked by her head and neck [gorilla arms] -

But the other party had obviously implanted a new blood circulation system.

She let the bullets penetrate her skin. Some were blocked by the subcutaneous armor and bounced off, while others splashed blood, but they still did not slow her down.

Instead, it accelerated.

Lixi caught up with the three.

On the [gorilla's arm], a bright light flickered, like sparks exploding.

She swung her right fist and hit J091 who was running last.

【Mortis: Prosthetic overheated. 】

The same [Quick Hack]. The light of the [Gorilla Arm] disappeared instantly, and turned into a red light that emitted heat.

Li Xi: “…”

Li Xi didn't say anything.

chapped.

A soft sound.

The three believers present could not see anything unusual, but Mu, who was behind the transmitter, saw it.

Li Xi urgently shut down her brain computer.

The movements were fast - very skilled - it was easy to guess that they were developed to prevent the "insect swarm" from hacking into the brain -

The left hand is raised in a grasping position.

【Mortis: Electromagnetic short circuit. 】

Replace the [Quick Crack] in RAM.

Crack, snap.

Electricity arcs from the fingers of the [Gorilla Arm].

Li Xi forced the system to shut down again and stepped forward.

This situation where the machine can crash on its own is too troublesome.

【Mortis: System reset.】

The red hacking progress bar climbed upwards.

"..."

Li Xi implemented the simplest anti-hacking method.

She crammed more programs into her brain-computer, quickly overwhelming it.

Then restart automatically.

【Mortis: Synaptic melting. 】

Mu began to heat the interface behind Lixi's head.

Lixi seized the opportunity and rushed forward.

Mu changed [Quick Hack] back to [Prosthetic Overheat].

Crack, snap.

The three believers retreated all the way back.

Li Xi pressed forward.

She reaches out, strikes, grabs.

Each time, it stopped and retreated very close to the three believers.

Sparks and arcs flew from her knuckles and wrists, and it looked as if they were blocked by an invisible protective wall.

Mu defended all the way.

[Prosthetic overheating], [electromagnetic short circuit], [system restart].

Alternate stacking, releasing memory, and re-investing.

In J018's artificial eye, the data grids on the RAM bar rose and fell, jumping intermittently, like blue piano keys being played.

Li Xi reached out in an instant, accelerated, and inserted his hand into J018's artificial eye, destroying his signal output port.
