Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"I have marked all the locations. I gently adjusted the angle of the surveillance - not enough to be noticed by those hired hackers, but enough for us to pass through the blind spot! Oh, the identity of being an invited person is comfortable. Many operations can be performed without triggering security alerts at all!"

"Just because I got the information in advance, I started to call the hired people mediocre."

"Timoris! Stop picking on me every time! Who are your teammates?!"

"No, keep talking."

[Like thorns entangled in the body]

【It means we will never separate】

"I'm done! Next, listen to Oblivionis! She must have had an idea!"

"Ah."

【（MEMENTO MORI）Like a leap】

"Before the next scene begins, the black curtain falls."

"Mortis, you connect to the wire tied to our waists and pull us to the fourth floor."

“We’ll be in the crew area around the wire before the lights come on.”

【（MEMENTO MORI）Like atonement】

"We took off the wire there and left."

"Follow the route map sent by Amoris and meet at the employee elevator."

Right here

"Amoris, how's the situation with the staff elevator?"

"Great~ We are invited guests now! Just add a line of code and the elevator can run without supervision!"

"Perfect."

【With singing】

"We went up to the 14th floor."

"Swipe the access card."

"Enter the [Advanced Brain Science Laboratory]."

"Be there, and do our job."

"Doloris, Timoris. Be alert, and maintain your command."

"receive."

"receive."

"Amoris. Execute the extraction procedure for the [nanorobots] and corresponding software."

"Leave it to me~"

"Mortis. I'll leave the contact to you."

"..."

【Combined into one】

"very good."

"The action begins."

……

【Ave Musica, The Masked People are Tempting】

【（Fortuna）】

【Ave Musica, leading to a peaceful world】

【（Lacrima）】

【As long as you are willing to offer the past】

【(As a result)】

[No matter what your wish is]

[No matter what kind of desire]

【Sic……】

[Definitely, it can be realized for you]

The prominent sound of the electric piano seems to be able to penetrate everything, filling every corner.

Electric guitar, bass, drums follow one after another——

【Ave Musica, keep falling】

【（Fortuna）】

【Ave Musica, until the point of no return】

【（Lacrima）】

【Don't worry, there's no need to be afraid】

【(Commit yourself to me)】

【Let’s start eternity together】

【Only for you】

【With me】

……

The first act is over.

The curtains wrapped around the stage again. There was a tidal wave of applause from the audience.

“It’s so exciting!”

One audience member shouted loudly, but was quickly scolded by others in a low voice: "Quiet!"

The show isn’t over yet!

The sound and light gradually dissipated.

The venue returned to complete darkness.

The audience waited.

There was a slight rustling sound coming from the darkness.

After a while.

The curtain opened again.

A beam of light hit the center of the stage.

On the stage, the chandelier, dining table, carpet and glass windows that were originally there are gone.

All the decorations were removed when the curtains were drawn, along with the four puppets.

In the field, there was only the silver moon and the golden-green-haired puppet, Mortis.

Mortis clasped his hands together, placed them reverently over his chest, and raised his head.

The mask covered her expression, so it was impossible to see her expression.

She began to sing.

【Greensleeves now farewell adieu】

【God I pray to prosper thee.】

【For I am still thy lover true】

【Come once again and love me.】

The second act of the stage play begins here.

The second act opens with a solo by Mortis.

and……

"Please do not leave me."

One man show.

"Fate, why are you pulling me?"

All eyes were on Mortis.

Mortis raised his hands and looked into the empty air.

"I wanted to be close, but it kept me away."

She looked relieved, but also regretful. She stared at the light and said:

"If it's just waiting, then it's not bad."

"You who are moving forward, and I who am standing still."

"A gap that won't shorten."

"Stuff something and go in."

All the audience watched this scene attentively.

The first floor, the second floor, the third floor, and...

Fourth floor.

Behind the research base employees on the fourth floor who craned their necks, squeezed past others, and looked down.

In four directions, there were four dark shadows, quietly disappearing in the depths of the dark passage.

Following the narrow passage indicated by the artificial eye, they passed through the winding, maze-like corridor and met again in front of the narrow employee elevator.

"..."

The four of them looked at each other and nodded.

One of them used the identity of an "invited person" who had added a short code and called the elevator without being recorded.

All elevator monitoring has therefore entered [Memory Saving] mode and no data is recorded.

The elevator hums.

Soon, it descended in front of the four people.

The four of them filed in.

Close the door and rise.

4th floor, 7th floor, 11th floor...

14th floor.

The elevator stopped on the 14th floor.

[Advanced Brain Science Laboratory] The surveillance camera at the back door flickered slightly and entered a brief [unstable signal] state.

The elevator door opened.

Behind the slowly opening elevator door, four "puppets" walked out.

Doloris holding the assembled [DS-1 Pulse] kinetic submachine gun in her hand.

Timoris holds the [Black Unicorn] carbon fiber samurai sword that shines with a cold black light.

Among the two people's guards was Oblivionis.

And Amoris followed behind with his eyes slightly shining.

Timoris reached out and touched the door.

The electronic access card is read in.

Amoris' eyes brightened a little more.
