Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Qiansheng said.

"Rinko's [Technical Ability] is 20 points. If you give her good enough equipment, she can do everything you can imagine, and everything you can't imagine. She is unbeatable in her workshop in Roselia."

"As long as there is even the slightest noise in the research base, as long as Rinko's eyes turn towards you through the invisible network of electricity and data, everything you do will be revealed."

"Avex Research Base has set up a local area network," Xiangzi said, "There are no external signals there. Only when they trigger an alarm will the local area network be connected to Roselia's control network."

what.

She heard Qiansheng laugh on the other end of the phone.

"The LAN is nothing but a paper wall in front of Rinko."

"As a hacker, she chose calmness over intelligence for reasons you'll soon discover."

"Because she is the same as Cai."

"Her uniqueness lies in her contact with the [Black Wall]."

"..."

"Of course, unlike Aya who went through the black wall and continued to sneak deeper to search for intelligence, Rinko would not do such a dangerous thing. She would mostly observe the opportunity behind the black wall, then quickly pass through the black wall and enter the next LAN."

"In the City of Music, there is no technical means that can stop guests from climbing over the black wall."

Qiansheng said.

"She can hack anywhere if she wants to."

"You can't stop her. None of us can."

"..."

"Of course, even Rinko couldn't do this with just her brain."

Qiansheng continued.

"Rinko is a member of Roselia after all. In order to help Roselia maintain the leader's influence in the territory for a long time, she must not only do work behind the scenes, but also work in the open."

"The only time Rinko would not sit in her fortress where no one has ever seen her true face is when she is accompanying her band members on promotional and performance trips."

"And the following week."

"Only on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays will Shirogane Rinko go out to work. Together with Minato Yukina and Udagawa Ako, they will travel on Minato Yukina's [Hayabusa MZ2]."

"..."

"Perhaps I don't need to remind you. Sunday is the last day of the deadline."

"Monday is the day when the exterior wall of [Colorful] on the 18th floor of the Civic Building is sealed. Starting from Monday, Pastel*Palettes will not be able to place snipers in [Colorful]."

"So, your actions can only be carried out on Thursday, Friday or Sunday."

...Thursday, Friday or Sunday.

Chuhua Sumimi's activities are on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

That means Thursday and Friday are out of the question.

Could it be that there is only one last day——

and many more.

"What about Saturday?"

Xiangzi asked.

"Saturday isn't possible?"

On Friday night, Chuhua is back!

Shirogane Rinko will be out working on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Chuhua will not be able to participate in the operation on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

So cross down...

You should be able to take action on Saturday and Sunday!

Xiangzi definitely didn't want to take action on the last day.

Because, then there would really be no room for error.

After the performance of [Ave Mujica], the theft will begin.

Shiragiri Chisei will be in position at that time in [Colorful], waiting for the opportunity to snipe Yukina Minato.

If the action is on Saturday, even if Ave Mujica is slightly delayed or an accident occurs, the performance can be suspended and resumed the next day.

Because there is also Zhoutian.

As long as he doesn't alarm Minato Yukina, Zhou Tian still has a chance to assassinate.

But if it's a Sunday operation...

Xiangzi will not have this opportunity.

No matter how smoothly the operation goes, as long as Xiangzi and others fail to successfully carry away the [Nanorobots] and the necessary software before Minato Yukina reaches the best position, Shirasagi Chisei will shoot the moment Minato Yukina passes the best position.

And then.

All facilities within Roselia's territory will instantly enter the highest level of security.

It is easy to imagine what will happen to Xiangzi and his group who are still staying in the Avex research base.

"You need a communications liaison?"

Qiansheng said.

"..."

Xiangzi was silent.

"The Avex research base is completely blocked. There is electromagnetic interference there. Not to mention the Internet, even the telephone signal can't be dialed out."

Qiansheng had thought of everything Xiangzi could think of. She said slowly:

"I don't think you would want to be told about the change in the plan so that I can shoot you and give you a coffin in the shape of a research base."

"..."

"You need a communications liaison with high enough [technical ability] to bypass electromagnetic signal interference and broadcast the call."

"I can have our [Yamato Maya] go in with you. She's very good at this."

Xiangzi knew this name. He was the owner of the underground clinic that Xiangzi often visited. He was one of the most technically capable people in the City of Music.

Like Shirogane Rinko, Maya Yamato's [Technical Ability] is also 20 points.

"I will let Maya do her best to escort you out. This is my sincerity. However, on Saturdays, Maya needs to regularly maintain the territorial network of Pastel*Palettes. After Cai fell into a coma, she has been doing this... The workload is huge, and the time point needs to be very accurate and cannot be changed."

“So, no Saturday.”

"If Thursday and Friday don't work for you, then Sunday is the only option left."

"I have no problem."

"Or do you have a better plan?"

Chapter 10: Xiangzi's Choice ( Rewards and More)

In the room, Xiangzi took a deep breath.

The last ray of sunlight outside the window moved slowly and disappeared behind the windowsill.

The sun sets and darkness falls.

Neon lights lit up one after another, illuminating Xiangzi's face.

She thought quickly.

Action Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Because Rinko Shirogane is stationed at the Roselia headquarters, according to Chisei Shirasagi, this is absolutely not possible.

Xiangzi didn't intend to test whether the "no" said by this big shot in the City of Music was really no. She absolutely believed in Qiansheng's judgment.

Zhou 4, Zhou 5.

Chuhua has been working these two days.

Work cannot be cancelled.

Xiangzi's band used Chuhua as its name. No matter from the perspective of ability or concealment, they could not lose Chuhua.

Not at all.

Next, it’s Saturday.

If he chooses this day, Xiangzi must act without accepting the communication liaison sent by Pastel*Palettes.

Moreover, it was not just a communications liaison that was lost.

Yamato Maya.

This [violent cyborg otaku] is a [big shot] in the City of Joy and one of the five leaders of Pastel*Palettes.

Her abilities allow her to do much more on site than a "communications liaison officer".

It can be said that with her presence, the survival of Xiangzi and others and the success rate of the mission will be greatly guaranteed.

In the end, only Zhou Tian was left.

There is zero tolerance for error when taking action on this day.

Even the slightest mistake will lead to irreversible consequences.

"..."

Which day should I choose?

Xiangzi already had an answer in his heart.

Maya Yamato will try her best to protect everyone out, and Xiangzi believes this is true.

But Xiangzi does not think that this is the most important factor in Shirasagi Chisei's attempt to insert Yamato Maya into this operation.

"(…For nanorobots and software.)"

Xiangzi knew it clearly.

In order to save Pastel*Palettes' leader, Maruyama Aya, Shirasagi Chisei has gone so far as to assassinate Roselia's leader Minato Yukina.

So, it's conceivable.

Even though Yukina Minato had been killed, even though Pastel*Palettes and Roselia had fallen out.

Shiragi Chisei will also strive to bring back the [nanorobots and software] that can repair Maruyama Aya's brain.

The "big shot" of Lezhicheng, Maya Yamato, comes to be the communications liaison officer of an unknown team?

I'm afraid that "in the worst case scenario, ensuring that [nanorobots and software] are still successfully brought out of the Avex research base and brought back to the Pastel*Palettes base" is Yamato Maya's real mission.

In this case, it is clear what Yamato Maya will do for the people of [Ave Mujica] after the incident and what actions he will take at the most critical moment.

Maya Yamato is not the savior of this team.

It is more likely that she is the god of death, ready to push the team to the guillotine at any time.

"(But, Bai Lu Qian Sheng is right about one thing.)"

Xiangzi and others really need a communications liaison.

Without a liaison officer, Qiansheng would not be able to confirm the situation inside the research base in real time at the sniper point, and would have to open fire without any communication with Xiangzi and others.

Xiangzi must absolutely avoid this situation.

Contact Correspondent...

"Oblivionis, how are you thinking about this?"

During the call, Qiansheng asked calmly.

"…How many [Technical Ability] points do you think are needed to bypass electromagnetic signal interference and make a call at Avex's research base?"

Xiangzi asked.
