Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"You don't look very energetic today." Qi Shen said, "Usually, you seem to pay more attention to superficial etiquette."

"…I'm sorry for being so rude." Xiangzi said slowly, "My hand is broken and I'm not feeling well now."

"That's it~"

Qi Shen's eyes turned around and around.

"My timing was not good. Sorry."

Qi Shen blinked at Xiangzi.

hum.

Xiangzi received an external ID exchange request in his brain computer.

The name is [Hiromachi Nanamika]. She doesn't even use a private account.

"Then let's add each other's contact information." Qi Shen said cheerfully in a tone like a high school girl, "What you did surprised us all. I want to talk to you when I'm free later."

Xiangzi agreed to the request.

She looked again.

"…On your own behalf, or on behalf of Morfonica?"

Xiangzi asked another question.

Qi Shen opened his eyes wide.

She was a little surprised that Xiangzi chose to ask this as his first question.

"Of course it's in the name of Morfonica." Qi Shen said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry." Xiangzi said, "I just thought of something."

……

After saying, "Let's talk later~", Nanami left.

The sound of her footsteps gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.

It's incredible.

Although it was clearly an important conversation, the atmosphere it gave off was just like a normal conversation between teenage girls.

...Morfonica's invitation.

A signal.

Morfonica wants to reach some kind of beneficial cooperation?

Want some kind of power from us?

Anyway, it's an opportunity...

Xiangzi seemed to be thinking about these things, but also seemed not to be thinking about them.

Everything that was done before.

Everything that was done earlier.

The physical injuries and the painkillers injected into his body.

After the situation became less urgent, these things slowly affected Xiangzi.

The objects around me seem to be getting closer and farther away.

After the last taut string of "Morfonica's people are nearby" was loosened, a sense of dissociation began to emerge.

"(medicine.)"

Xiangzi thought.

She touched her lower back.

No more.

All of the [β-coupling-humanity loss antagonist drugs] were injected into Lixi's lower back by her.

“(…Well.)”

It’s okay to go back and get the injection.

The mood started to get strange.

I always feel like... I have no strength left.

Xiangzi leaned against the pillar and slowly slid down to the ground.

Da da.

The computer detected the sound of footsteps coming from downstairs.

In terms of positioning, familiar dots began to appear.

Chuhua came, bringing with him true believers.

Xiangzi looked at his brain-computer interface.

The battle situation was downgraded from [Under firefight] to [On-site confirmation].

Report items began to appear in the [Transmitter] in the channel.

【…】

【…BCPD underground warehouse: secured. 】

[…Cleanup of BCPD remnants: in progress. Situation: good.]

[…Tracking of RAS: The enemy has completed the recovery of [Linear Frame Ω].]

【…】

It doesn't feel real.

Xiangzi looked at the flowing items and thought.

Xiangzi was thinking about his own arrangements.

Think about your actions.

Thinking about what I said to Hai Ling and what Qi Shen said.

I want to seize everything.

Go to the summit.

She came to this point for these.

Once again, she achieved victory with her own approach.

Risks still coexist with benefits.

It is a practice with high benefits and even higher risks.

She will keep her approach, though.

Xiangzi will be herself.

She just gets to be herself.

If you can't reach the top by "being yourself", it means that you are just a person of this level.

Either verify this.

Or as herself, go up.

Reach the top.

She is very sure of this. She knows it is risky, but she doesn't think the chances of success are low. Moreover, she doesn't think that those who can't carry out their own ideas can reach the top.

only……

Now, a little bit, there is something hard to say...

"..."

In my brain, the entries are still jumping.

【…】

[…Tracking for RAS: The target has been detected leaving [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].]

[…Search and rescue situation for personnel: ongoing.]

[…Search and rescue situation of special personnel: Underground Intelligence·J Team, rescued.]

【…】

A successful entry will just pop up a short message like this.

All are smooth entries.

A big success.

Strangely, Xiangzi didn't feel much joy.

For a moment, she just thought about the past images in her head.

Always thinking about it.

at this time.

【……Report!】

Suddenly, an emergency contact popped up in my brain computer.

【——Emergency report! 】

[Repeat, emergency report! ]

[The believer team responsible for surrounding the BCPD "Attack" members carrying "important weapons" was attacked in the area near [Comprehensive Area 1]! Now, the battle is in progress--! ]

Emergency report.

Xiangzi blinked.

The surrounding environment became real again.

Perception and feeling returned to Xiangzi's body at this moment.

"……Ha ha."

Xiangzi suddenly laughed.

"There's still work to do."

Of course.

Because I am the leader of Ave Mujica.

Leader of Ave Mujica.

Just this word awakened Xiangzi from the haze of the past.

No more confusion.
