Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"...Xiao Xiang. You seem to be used to all this."

"That's it."

"You've been doing something this dangerous?"

"If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price. This is the law of the City of Joy."

Xiangzi's expression remained unchanged. She said:

“I want to get to the top.”

"But, money, status, fame, background, support, skills, attribute points... I have nothing. I can't give anything."

"I can't enter the exchange. I can't enter the exchange, Chuhua, I can only go to the casino."

"All I have is fate and determination."

"I can only put them on the gamble board and bet on whatever I want."

"But--!"

"I will be careful not to lose my life. After all, this is a valuable bargaining chip."

Xiangzi didn't want to continue this topic.

However, Chuhua didn't think so.

Chuhua put down the coffee cup, stood up and approached Xiangzi.

"Xiao Xiang, don't do such a dangerous thing."

she says:

"No one can guarantee an operation involving life."

"You've risked your life too many times to achieve your goals faster."

"No one can win all the time. If you keep going like this, you'll soon—"

Xiangzi looked at Chuhua.

She suddenly laughed.

"I advised you this when we were little."

"[Chuhua, stop being a child soldier]."

“…! That’s——”

"Now, our positions have been reversed, haven't we?"

Xiangzi looked at Chuhua and said:

"It seems that after more than a year of debut, the upper class society of Le City has softened you."

"..."

"Money, status, fame. Notices from management companies, contracts from big companies, and the network of underground mercenaries."

"You already have a lot of resources, Chuhua. You start to say things that only people with resources can say."

"Time is life, and the body is life too. I am still too weak, Chuhua. Countless strings are tied directly to my life, and any slight disturbance can easily take it away."

"I can only choose between dangerous actions and dangerous actions."

"Chuhua, you used to be like this too."

"But you're not now."

Xiangzi straightened up.

She leaned forward and touched the white scarf around Chuhua's neck.

"You already have a collar around your neck. On the collar, there are various chains."

"Your companions, your agency, your assets, your reputation..."

“They hold you.”

"You are no longer penniless."

Xiangzi's hand left Chuhua's neck.

"Congratulations on leaving your status as a boy soldier."

Xiangzi said.

"I will always be grateful for your efforts, Chuhua. If you encounter anything in the future, I will do my best to help you as long as I can."

"So be it."

Xiangzi announced the end of the partnership.

"I have to go."

She pushed back the quilt and prepared to get up.

however.

"...You're gambling with your life. Does that mean you'll use anything?"

On the side, Chu Hua suddenly said something strange.

"Hmm? Of course."

Xiangzi didn't pay much attention to it. She turned over and got out of bed.

but.

"Xiao Xiang."

"Is this the extent of your awareness of 'making use of everything'?"

"what?"

Xiangzi felt he was provoked.

But before she could react.

Chuhua grabbed Xiangzi's shoulders.

Pushed her back down on the bed.

Chapter 400 Take Everything From Me ( Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates)

Chuhua suddenly pushed Xiangzi down on the bed!

"Chuhua! What are you doing!?"

Her back sank into the soft mattress, and Xiangzi was shocked and angry. She screamed and tried to break free.

but.

How come Chu Hua is so strong?

The hand on his shoulder was even stronger than the hands of the kidney-cutting strong men he had fought before. No matter how hard Xiangzi tried, he couldn't lift his body even a little bit.

Xiangzi tried to kick and push up again.

However, Chuhua wedged his body into Xiangzi's crotch and held Xiangzi's knee with his other hand.

It was like being pinched by an iron clamp and I couldn't move at all.

The difference in [physical] power brings about violence in strength.

Above Xiangzi, who was still struggling in vain while making a sound in his throat, Chuhua looked at Xiangzi and spoke.

"Xiao Xiang, I was thinking about this when you fainted in my arms earlier."

she says.

"Xiao Xiang, you are so slender."

"Gu...!"

"A slender body, with a body temperature higher than mine. Wrists that look like they'll break if you squeeze them, and a waist that makes you reluctant to hug it."

"When we were kids, we were obviously about the same height."

"But when we met this time, I was already more than ten centimeters taller than you. My body, due to the accumulation of [attributes], long-term exercise and work, is much stronger."

"...Chu...Hua..."

“At that time, I thought.”

"Ah."

"Xiao Xiang is really very weak."

“…Gu…!”

Xiangzi stared at Chuhua.

And Chuhua slowly bent down.

She moved closer to Xiangzi's face.

"Xiao Xiang said that I became gentler because of the upper-class life."

"Xiao Xiang is the one."

Another kind of light began to appear in Chuhua's eyes.

She no longer has the gentle, slightly melancholy look she had when she was Sumimi's idol singer.

Instead, he showed a sharp, high-spirited, and aggressive look as a "pirate".

"After Xiaoxiang got out of this desperate situation, has he become a little more relaxed?"

"So you feel relieved and think you can leave some moral leeway?"

"!"

"——You are so weak. I didn't even use much strength, and you couldn't struggle at all. You are still at this level, with only this little awareness left."

"Talking about 'fate' and 'determination'."

"Will these things allow you to break free from me?"

“…Let go…of me…”

"Xiao Xiang is still begging me. Xiao Xiang, it seems that he thinks I am a very gentle person."

Chuhua held down the angry Xiangzi as easily as if he were holding down a kitten. She said:

“It would bother me if such a misunderstanding arose.”

"……you……"

"There are only two of us here."

Chuhua looked at the struggling Xiangzi with her purple eyes.

"Xiao Xiang, do you know? When there are only two people left in any space, morality and rules will no longer exist. Only the law of the jungle will actually operate."

"Everything here has only two outcomes."

"I'll eat you."

"or."

"You eat me."

"Xiao Xiang."

Chu Hua said.

"Do you know why I help you to this extent?"

"..."

"Because Xiaoxiang, you showed up that night."

"……early……"
