Psychics don't die from gunfire

"Resist brain-computer interfaces! Reject virtual reality! These are all conspiracies of the government and companies!"

In a corner of the street, a man with his upper body naked raised a cardboard painted with oil pens and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Accessing virtual reality! It means sending your own soul in! Those rich people rely on stealing our souls to prolong their lives! Everyone! Please listen to me--"

Other people on the street turned a deaf ear to him. Even if a few people glanced at him, they quickly retracted their gaze and walked away.

Such scenes are not uncommon in the Deep Moss District. Compared with slogans such as "Drinking motor oil can prolong life", "Hahahaha, I am the king of another world, now V me 500 credit points, I will let you reincarnate and open a harem", "I am me and I am not me but", etc., this man's words are not surprising.

The sight moved upward from this man, and on the old TV screen outside the shop, a muscular man with hideous implants and a muscular body was laughing wildly, being interviewed and making harsh words to the next opponent. In the background behind the muscular man, various explosions were heard, blood and flesh flew everywhere, knives whistled and guns rang, and there were also fierce cheers from the audience that almost opened the stadium.

This was a league of a ball game in Ultimate Competitive Sports. The muscular man was a recently famous super competitive sports star. With a pair of modified triangular elbow prostheses, he set a record of elbowing seven opponents in a row. It is said that many companies are considering looking for him to be a product spokesperson.

Song Shi turned his eyes away from the TV.

He stood on this street, wearing a graffiti hooded long shirt, a fluorescent mask, and a steel crow wrapped in a long polyethylene cloth on his back. This kind of dress is very common in the Deep Moss District.

Three days have passed since the ambush and killing of Dennis.

During this period, they only had a very brief conversation with the Enlightened One. After confirming that both parties had evacuated safely, they temporarily hid themselves in all aspects, avoiding the limelight and avoiding trouble.

- At least hide for the recent period of time before reconnecting.

Song Shi could feel it.

The day after Dennis' death, the entire Palose became much more solemn overnight. Even the patrol officers of the Security Bureau rarely entered the Deep Moss District and began their regular patrols. As a result, there were fewer gunshots on the streets in the past two days.

At least according to Song Shi's observation, the small store near his residence, two streets away, had not encountered gangsters who came in to rob for three whole days.

But for Song Shi, these days are safer than before.

"Flash Star" is the most powerful hacker among the Enlightened Ones in Palose, and the only member of the Enlightened Ones' First Action Group who has not yet revealed his true identity. After reaching a cooperation with Song Shi, the two sides exchanged some basic information, and the former also helped to forge a new identity and cover up the tracks again.

Theoretically, the official identity of "Song Shi" is now a person named "Fang Shi", and all records from birth to the present can be checked, absolutely true.

With the accumulation and deep cultivation of "Shanxing" in Palose over the years, after she personally takes action, even Jade Pharmaceuticals will not be able to detect the flaws in a short time.

"——Rage Blood."

Song Shi thought while buying a genetically modified roasted corn at a street stall.

If you want to defeat the branch of Jade Pharmaceuticals in Palose, killing everyone from top to bottom is of course the most direct and straightforward method, but if you really want to do this now, it can't be said to be "weak against the strong" - you have to do it step by step.

"Rage Blood" is one of them.

In the communication with Harold and others, Song Shi confirmed that his idea was correct - the largest gang in Palose was indeed supported by "Jade Pharmaceuticals", acting as the latter's agent in the Deep Moss District to assist in management and control.

When necessary, "Mangxue" can even be responsible for part of Palose's business war. For example, some local stubborn elements who are unwilling to cooperate with Jade Pharmaceuticals will be slaughtered by vicious criminals wearing hoods and breaking in at night.

Such tragedies always make the anchors of the news the next day sigh with sadness.

Therefore, this part of the power of "Mangxue" is worth noting, and opportunities must be found in advance to reduce it.

". Such a coincidence?"

Then, looking at the scene not far away, Song Shi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I saw three people standing shoulder to shoulder at the corner of the street about 30 meters away, wearing leather jackets, metal skull pendants, slightly exaggerated implants with a sense of show-off, and the most eye-catching thing is the tattoos on the necks of the three people.

The tattoo pattern is "a dagger inserted into blood".

This is the gang logo of [Mangxue]. The three people are qualified to sew this tattoo. They are all formal members of Mangxue.

At this moment, the thinnest of the three was holding a child in his hand - the latter was about ten years old, with blood all over his face and a look of fear. He did not struggle and let the former hold him.

Song Shi calmly swallowed the last bite of genetically modified corn, threw the skewer into the sewer, and followed the three people from a distance.

Along the way, most pedestrians along the street saw the tattoos on the necks of the three people, and their expressions changed slightly, deliberately avoiding them, causing the former to push and shout at each other and laugh loudly.

After a while, they turned into a remote, abandoned, empty building, threw the child to the ground, and sat down, obviously waiting for someone.

Song Shi also sat down.

He climbed up another nearby building and observed the scene from a high position with the help of the broken wall gap.

Didn't wait too long.

Outside the building, on the gravel ground covered with weeds and garbage, a figure emerged and walked quickly.

But when he saw the appearance of the person coming, Song Shi straightened up, with a rare look of surprise on his face.

He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties.

He was still wearing an old, but clean, loose coat that wrapped the whole person tightly.

In a sense, this was a strange "acquaintance".

——The person who came was "Malun"!

In the memory of "Song Shi of the Welfare Home", the volunteer who has been shuttling between various welfare homes in the Deep Moss District for many years!

But at this moment, the other person's face was not as gentle as when they met last time, but tightly pursed his lips.

"Oh oh oh! Here I come!"

Seeing Malun, the shortest of the three stood up, whistled, and said with a smile: "I thought it would be your dean! I didn't expect it to be you. Of course, I don't know who you are, hahaha!"

Malun squeezed out a forced smile to the dwarf.

"I can represent Megan."

Then, he looked at the child first. When the latter saw Maren, his eyes widened suddenly. He subconsciously tried to get up, but was stepped on by another member of the Mangxue, and fell back down again.

"Ah"

The dwarf sighed in boredom: "Okay, let's talk about compensation."

He pointed at the child and then at his pants, which had a conspicuous oil stain on them: "Well, your child is blind. While I was eating, he ruined this co-branded piece of 'Purple Clothes Shop' for me. This is a good product worth more than 10,000 credit points! You tell me! What should I do with you!"

Of course, it is impossible for such a street gang member to wear such expensive things. Listening to the other party's words, Song Shi understood the situation a little bit. It was probably another extortion.

"Yes, I apologize to you on behalf of this child." Maren immediately said, "Yes, he should be compensated, two thousand credits."

"Two thousand?" Another person shouted, "That's just a little money? Are you insulting me? Didn't you hear what I said just now! Ten thousand!"

"This"

Hearing this, Maren's expression changed slightly. When he was about to say something, he saw the dwarf raised a work boot with a steel plate embedded in it and pointed it at the child's hand, pretending to step on it.

Maren subconsciously stepped forward, and the tallest of the three people directly pushed forward - at the moment when the two collided, Maren took advantage of the force to dodge and actually bypassed the other party, but then a black hole of a gun pointed at him.

"Wow, what, you still want to fight?"

The last man, the thinnest one, shook his gun and spat: "Funny, are you trying to bully us?"

But then, the man shook his head and nodded at the dwarf, who actually let the other party pick up the child and pushed him directly over: "But we are kind-hearted! We are willing to write you an IOU! So, you transfer two thousand first, and the rest is what you owe us."

Maren hugged the terrified child, squatted down and patted the other's back, then stood up, without saying a word, and transferred the credit points.

"Hey!"

Looking at the back of the middle-aged man who turned around and wanted to leave, the dwarf laughed and raised his voice: "Go back and tell your dean! Talk to that old guy!"

"The location of your welfare home is so bad! There are still people willing to buy it, this is a great thing! Don't be ungrateful! Otherwise, we can't guarantee that there will be no accidents! Hahaha——"

The middle-aged man's footsteps subconsciously paused, but he didn't look back and walked out of the building silently.

"Hahahaha——"

Twenty minutes later

"...Ha."

The cold tip of the knife pressed against the thin man's throat. In the corner of his eyes, the latter saw that his two companions were lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

"Let's talk about the acquisition."

Song Shi raised the steel crow and looked down at the other party leaning against the wall.

"——And, how much do you know about the person 'Maren'?"
