Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Opposite Xiangzi.

Li Xi was breathing heavily.

"..."

Li Xi's pupils trembled.

She noticed something strange.

Li Xi didn't want to hold back.

Not at all.

Just now, she was 100% sure that in her rage she intended to smash Xiangzi to death.

but--

Missed.

Such a close distance.

how come?

"—!"

Li Xi raised his fist again, increased the pressure, and swung it down——

Bang.

This time, it hit.

but……

"..."

The fist hit Xiangzi's face at an angle.

Only the index and middle fingers hit Xiangzi's eyebrow corners. The little finger and ring finger both hit the ground, eliminating most of the force.

Moreover, even the part that hit the ground had a strange force.

Although the hit was successful, the feeling was strange. The fist didn't feel any power. It felt like the attack was just relying on the mass of the prosthesis itself, and it felt light and fluttery.

Li Xi raised his hand again.

She saw that there were large and small pits on the sides of Xiangzi's face.

Those were all punched out by her fists.

"—"

Missed.

Missed.

I can't hit hard enough.

When did it start?

from--

"You were so kind just now."

Xiangzi raised his eyebrows, looked at Lixi and said with a smile.

Her face was covered with wounds and bruises. However, her face was not obviously deformed, and her expression was still the same. Yes, at most her eyebrow bone was fractured.

What a joke.

After being hit so many times by [Gorilla Arm]——

How is it possible that the wound is only this severe?

"Are you trying to vent?" Xiangzi asked, "You're not serious. Otherwise, I would have died a few minutes ago."

No.

Li Xi did not hold back.

This is--

"Or……"

Xiangzi smiled and stretched out her left hand which was still able to move.

"Or are you like when the lamp broke down, unable to notice even the things that are right next to you?"

Xiangzi's left hand touched Lixi's lower back.

Clank, clank, clank.

Three soft sounds.

Three tubes of silver [β-coupling-humanity loss antagonist] pneumatic injection drugs pierced through the thin interlayer lining that had been torn in the battle and fell from Lixi's lower back.

When Lixi's first punch hit Xiangzi, Xiangzi stabbed the potions into Lixi's side.

"It's a drug for treating cyberpsychosis. It suppresses brain waves, dulls perception, and limits the manipulation and output of non-strong EEG prostheses." Xiangzi said calmly, "It's not cheap. It's hard to get here. But I'll give it to you first."

"—"

At this moment, Li Xi's anger, which had been repeatedly ignited, reached its peak——

——It was also at this moment.

Bah!

The side wall exploded with a thunderous sound.

Walls collapsed, roofs shattered, and cement exploded.

[Agricultural and Industrial M5] The huge yellow shovel broke through the wall and crashed into the room.

Chapter 4 Don't do this, I will die (8k monthly tickets plus more)

[Agricultural and Industrial M5] rushed into the narrow room.

If Lixi's fist was the hammer that smashed the glass and opened up a passage from one area to another, then this engineering equipment, whose height exceeded the elevation, was squeezing the concept of "area" itself into pieces and grinding it into powder.

The walls collapsed, the ground caved in, and the partitions with the remaining explosion-proof glass were broken like crisp chips.

There is also the impact of the arrival of engineering equipment itself.

It was like an earthquake.

Lixi, who was originally sitting on Xiangzi, was shaken up by the violent impact and fell against the wall inside the room.

Of course, the same goes for Xiangzi.

dusty.

At the top of the room, the reinforced concrete beams were broken.

They fell from above and pressed towards the ground.

Xiangzi fell to the ground and protected his head with his left hand which was still able to move.

But Lixi can't do it.

Li Xi was originally sitting astride Xiangzi, and she was closer to the roof than Xiangzi.

Not to mention individual situations.

Lixi's height is only slightly taller than Xiangzi.

However, unlike Xiangzi who wore a skirt that was convenient for hiding items, Li Xi wore a full set of BCPD commando equipment, and even had [gorilla arms] installed on his hands.

In this sudden situation, even if Li Xi, who had thicker equipment and a wider arm span, immediately crawled on the ground, he would still be hit by the beam first.

"—!"

In the mapping of the instinct of risk avoidance and the skill training that has formed a reflex memory of BCPD, the output of the [Gorilla Arm] was connected again, bursting out with momentum in the stream of light.

Li Xi raised his hand.

Immediately afterwards——

Bang!

Li Xi managed to catch the reinforced concrete beam that fell from above.

The vision shook.

In the distance, from the direction of [Agricultural and Industrial M5], there were faint voices like "Oh! It's here! MASKING, I found your stuff." But these voices were also accompanied by the tinnitus caused by the concussion, echoing.

"—"

Under normal circumstances, supporting a beam would not be difficult for Li Xi.

After all, one of the most suitable tasks for BCPD police officers who focus on the [physical] direction is rescue work at the collapse site.

Before, Li Xi, who had the [Gorilla Arms], could easily push away these beams and throw them away.

But now, Lixi was injected with a pneumatic injection of [β-coupling-humanity loss antagonist drug].

Her control over and output of the prosthesis had become hopelessly poor.

"...cough...cough..."

Li Xi coughed in the dust.

Now, she could only support herself like this - she - she needed some time - to move these pillars - damn - why was she doing this - she - should do - the person she should kill - yes - that's right - kill -

rustle.

Lixi heard something moving.

In the gray, rising dust, Lixi saw Xiangzi, who had fallen beside him, stand up.

then.

"Goodbye."

Li Xi heard Xiangzi say softly.

Li Xi watched Xiangzi bend down, crawl under the beam he was supporting, and leave.

……

Xiangzi crawled out of the physically compressed [Material Buffer·Access Entrance] room and entered the BCPD "Attack the Entry" subway base.

The first thing you see is half of the body of [Agricultural and Industrial M5].

It crashed out of the room and into the subway base.

The hacker's workbench that was originally there had been turned into a pile of iron sheets flashing with electric arcs due to the impact of the [Agricultural and Industrial M5].

Xiangzi avoided them from the side.

To her right, she saw the escalator going down to the subway base.

You can see that BCPD was originally deployed there.

A few electric fences, some surveillance cameras, some mini automatic guns. Standard configuration.

But now, due to the huge momentum of [Agricultural and Industrial M5], the wall is cracking.

The surveillance cameras and mini automatic cannons had their wires either torn off or fell to pieces, with some even sinking directly into the walls.

It's completely ineffective now.

Including those electric fences.

Xiangzi had seen how fragile these electric fences were before, and now they once again demonstrated their cheapness: all the electric fences broke, and the pieces fell on the non-working escalators.

Xiangzi took a few quick steps toward the escalator.

She saw the broken pavement hitting the top of the escalator and the light filtering through it into the underground.

"(exit.)"

Xiangzi thought.

The subway base of the "Attack" is not deep. Moreover, because it was converted from a public facility, there are many passages leading to the ground.
