Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Talk non-stop.

Li Xi couldn't stop shaking anymore. She even heard the sound of her teeth knocking against each other.

"It's a good thing for me that you can come out, even if it's through this way of forgetting." Xiangzi continued to talk to himself. "But I think it's better not to waste so much time in the underground water pipe."

"The news said they haven't found it yet."

"But we who were there at the time should know better than anyone else, right?"

Xiangzi measured it on her own neck.

This action alone made Li Xi's breathing stop——

"An open wound on the carotid artery. One centimeter inward, at this position." Xiangzi said, "If you are hit here, you will not survive."

"The light is dead."

Xiangzi said.

"I fired the shot."

Behind explosion-proof glass.

Li Xi spoke slowly, slowly.

"Toyokawa Shoko."

Lixi said.

"I am going to kill you."

Chapter 384 Xiangzi Sauce

There was a loud bang.

It was like a C-6 charge going off next to my ear.

The explosion-proof glass that could withstand attacks from the "Scorpion" 16 missile launcher was smashed.

Fragments flew everywhere like rain.

Li Xi, covered with glass fragments, crashed into the narrow [Material Buffer Entrance].

Xiangzi raised his arm and turned sideways, making a half-hearted defensive move.

This defensive action only provides a little psychological comfort at most.

Lixi punched Xiangzi.

The fist hit Xiangzi's raised right arm.

The arm seemed like a fragile branch, bent into a strange posture.

The huge impact force continued to advance and squeezed the side of the body.

"cough!"

The internal organs were impacted.

The brain was also affected.

Nausea. Dizziness.

Xiangzi vomited a mouthful of blood.

The loud noise of broken glass caused momentary deafness and tinnitus in my head.

In the field of vision, there are black spots caused by cerebral ischemia and densely packed red pop-ups.

fracture.

Damage to internal organs.

A blood vessel ruptures.

Abnormal internal circulation, abnormal respiratory system, abnormal biochemical indicators...

With just one strike, Li Xi changed the indicator list in Xiangzi's artificial eye from green [normal] and yellow [mild abnormality] to a full screen of flashing [high risk] red light.

This punch almost killed Xiangzi.

……

Xiangzi fell on the floor covered with broken glass.

Li Xi followed closely, put his hands on Xiangzi's shoulders and straddled her.

Another punch.

This time it hit Xiangzi hard in the face.

When the fist was raised again, it was stained with blood from when it had smashed Xiangzi's forehead.

Xiangzi, who was under Lixi, had blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

Her eyes were slightly out of focus from the shock and damage.

But she still looked at Lixi as if nothing had happened.

This attitude of "nothing happened" made Lixi even more angry.

"People like you - people like you -"

That day.

The day you quit Crychic.

I want to beat you up, but I'll be stopped that day.

"I should have beaten you to death right there and then!!!"

Li Xi's roar even penetrated Xiangzi's tinnitus.

……

“(RAS hasn’t arrived yet.)”

Xiangzi thought as fists hit his face one after another.

Bah!

Another punch.

Xiangzi turned his head away.

These blows only left dull pain and spreading numbness on her face.

"(3 minutes...)"

"(5 minutes.)"

Xiangzi looked at Yi's eyes and the movement of the sound patterns of the engineering vehicle driven by RAS, and calculated the approximate time in his mind.

The next step is to wait for RAS to come and break this place open.

“(There’s nothing to do while waiting.)”

Xiangzi thought so and looked at Lixi's crazy, distorted face in front of him.

The other party yelled, "How can you be so indifferent?", "Did you know that Deng has always considered you a friend?", "You scumbag" and so on, waving his hand equipped with the [Gorilla Arm].

"(Ah... this thing is quite troublesome.)"

Xiangzi took another look at the [gorilla's arm].

When watching the Mewtwo Recorder, Xiangzi noticed that it had been modified.

But this transformation is even better than Xiangzi himself expected.

"(Trainee police officer, you were able to install such a good prosthesis in such a short time.)"

Another punch.

Xiangzi looked at the indicator in his eye which had just jumped back a little, and then suddenly fell down again.

"(Underestimated the output by 1/5.)"

Xiangzi used this data to speculate and thought.

To get the RAS to the correct area, it is necessary to generate engagement-level volume in that area.

Xiangzi doesn't have this ability.

But Li Xi did.

Provoke her and make her call you.

Break that glass.

All went well.

Voiceprints are approaching. RAS is coming.

"(The sound of the explosion-proof glass shattering was indeed loud.)" Xiangzi thought.

Xiangzi looked at his indicators.

Although it was not obvious, it was still recovering in between being beaten.

Because Xiangzi had given himself a lot of sustained-release drugs for pain relief, sedation, hemostasis and maintaining internal environment stability in advance.

This is a "pre-treatment" approach.

The effect of pre-treatment is not as good as that of post-treatment. Moreover, a large dose needs to be injected under healthy conditions, which will cause a relatively heavy burden on the liver, kidneys, and circulatory system.

However, the high [Calmness] points allowed Xiangzi to suppress these side effects temporarily.

The medicine was left behind when she left the protein factory to treat her kicks and gunshot wounds.

At that time, I took a little more.

The extra part I took was used in this plan...

Or, it should be said that it was the existence of these drugs that made Xiangzi think of this method.

Another punch.

Xiangzi no longer felt anything.

"Pre-treatment" drugs are not invincible potions either.

They couldn't allow a physical person with [Physique: 3] to withstand the wrath of a BCPD commando whose physicality was close to [Extraordinary] for dozens of seconds or even minutes.

Xiangzi used these drugs just to withstand the first blow from Lixi.

...The follow-up will depend on the performance of another drug.

Xiangzi looked at Lixi's face again.

Xiangzi has some understanding of Lixi.

Lixi did not join the BCPD's preparatory school out of some noble moral reasons.

However, her moral standards are still higher than 80 percent of BCPD officers on duty.

This is innate, a kind of personality.

Cyberpsychopaths with high moral standards will have a longer period of recovery than others when they first become cyberpsychopaths.

Even if he was crazy, his attacks would not be aimed at taking people's lives at the beginning - they would not be so obviously aimed at the head, chest and abdomen.

Plus these "pre-treatment" drugs, and my own little bit of defensive action induction...

If you can survive the first hit, there will basically be no problem.

Just don't die the first time.

——Although that’s what I said.

However, pain, fractures and internal bleeding will also affect the subsequent evacuation efficiency.

If possible, I hope it won't be so painful.

“(…I still underestimated it.)”
