Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

strangeness.

Dreamed about the past.

I thought I would be very irritated and angry.

But in reality, it didn’t feel that way.

Xiangzi felt very calm.

Peaceful and beautiful.

Just like what she had felt in that school before.

The sky, covered by precise surveillance, is always clear and pleasant, and the fragrance of flowers, which is particularly refreshing due to genetic editing, floats around the campus.

…I always feel that it is even better than I once knew.

Are things of the past always beautified by memory?

Xiangzi walked into the teaching building with a gentle mood, chatting softly with his classmates.

Advanced temperature control facilities, butler robots flying in the air. In the classroom seen through the adjustable polarized glass, the most advanced information cable connection board is placed next to each luxurious recliner.

It's a natural situation.

Xiangzi greeted the classmates around him politely.

At this moment, she saw the backs of two familiar faces at the end of the corridor.

"what."

Xiangzi spoke up and the two people in front turned around.

She is a member of crychic, a band she holds very dear.

Wakaba Mutsushi, and Nagasaki Suyo.

Seeing Xiangzi, the two waved gently.

Nagasaki Suyo.

I seemed to have had some unpleasant experiences with her before.

What is it?

Xiangzi couldn't quite remember.

It shouldn't be anything important.

"Xiao Xiang, shall we go to the rehearsal room together today?"

Su Shi smiled gently and asked.

"Okay."

Why refuse?

Xiangzi agreed.

She looked at Mu.

However, Mu did not smile.

She pointed at Xiangzi's bag calmly.

"Xiang."

Mu said.

"Your phone is ringing."

Huh?

Really.

Ding ding, ding ding.

The cell phone kept ringing in the black backpack.

Why haven’t I heard it before?

"……fine."

Xiangzi said.

She didn't answer the phone and just walked forward with the two of them.

Even she was surprised.

Why don't you answer the phone?

Why do you say it's okay?

I always feel like I just say things without permission.

Enter the classroom.

Lie down.

Connect the biometric information cable.

Weak electrical signal stimulation is carried out in the brain-computer to record the latest knowledge.

Classes are always so relaxing.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home from school.

"Mu, Sushi, let's go."

Xiangzi picked up the bag and said.

Ding ding, ding ding.

The phone is still ringing.

Has it been ringing since morning until now?

Xiangzi still ignored it.

Talking about practical classes, lunch muffins and the new topics assigned by the teacher, Xiangzi, Mu and Su Shi walked across the overpass in front of the Moon Forest together.

"lamp!"

Xiangzi shouted from his old position.

Light green curtains fluttered on the inside of the windows of the residential building.

This natural scene suddenly gave Xiangzi a very strange feeling.

Sad and happy.

Happy and lonely.

why?

For a moment, she even thought that the light would never appear in that window again.

but.

"……Everyone."

The light popped out.

Ding ding, ding ding.

Annoying cell phone, keeps ringing.

He Deng and Su Shi went to the station together. When they picked up Li Xi, they heard Xiang.

As the five of them were riding in a car along the avenue toward the rehearsal room, they heard the ringing of the bell.

Even during rehearsal.

It's also ringing.

Aren't you muted?

too weird.

The rehearsal is over.

Seems good.

I couldn’t feel it because I was always thinking about the phone call.

The sedan took everyone home.

First up are Deng and Lixi.

Then there is Su Shi.

Finally, there is harmony.

When I was dropped off at an intersection near Toyokawa's home, the sound of my cell phone became louder and louder.

It has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored.

Xiangzi sighed irritably.

She took her cell phone out of her bag.

A name appeared on the lit screen.

【Oblivionis】

Who is it?

Very familiar name.

I always feel like I've forgotten something important.

Xiangzi connected the signal into his bone conduction headphones.

"Hey?"

"Toyokawa Shoko."

On the other end of the phone was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

"…Who are you?"

"I am Oblivionis."

"No, so Oblivionis is—"

"Wake up, Toyokawa Shoko. Have you forgotten?"

said the voice.

"You are already dead."

what?

"Now, there it is."

"It's not you."

"it's me."

suddenly.

The ground collapsed.

"What--"

The ground broke into pieces of different sizes and collapsed in all directions.

Below is a dark, bottomless abyss.

Countless black and red hands stretched out from the depths and grabbed Xiangzi's hands, feet, body, and face.

"Well--!"

Xiangzi couldn't resist at all! She was being dragged down, down - the colorful sky of the City of Joy was getting farther and farther away from her - she saw that the light was also beginning to break, turning into scattered fragments -

There are not only hands in this abyss.

When his vision was occupied by the abyss, Xiangzi saw the image.
