No one could have imagined that the Arasaka special service team was knocked to the ground almost instantly, and most of the casualties were killed.

Speed beyond the limit, terrifying explosiveness.

"S'Ann Weistan?!"

Tanaka sat in an armored vehicle and observed the scene, almost convinced that the ability used by the other party came from Sianweistein's quick reaction.

On the electronic screen, the perspective of the screen also fell to the ground, and there was no longer any movement.

Tanaka realized that the situation was not good, and the other party's strength was not bad, and subconsciously thought of the company square, the cyber madman James who slaughtered NCPD that day.

"Could it be that the prosthetic body is installed?"

Inside the bar.

Rebecca kicked the couch on her body with her legs, half of her face covered with smoke and dust, and it was black.

Ignoring her injuries, she quickly got up and looked around, looking for traces of Pyra and her teammates.

Finally, Rebecca saw Pira's golden palm and flew over to pull him out of the rubble.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

Pyrrha was thirsty a few times, but fortunately she collapsed in time and was not seriously injured.

Dorio and Qiwei were equally safe, lying in the corner to escape the blast, but looking very pained.

Rebecca turned her head and glared at Mann like a god of death, and yelled, "Mann! What do you want to do on horseback! Do you want to kill everyone? ”

Mann heard Rebecca's roar, turned his head in a daze, and struggled to squeeze a forced smile at her.

I don't know if it was the last dose of medicine that worked, or Rebecca's angry binge, or the blood and tears of his lover Dorio, which made Mann's confused mind clear for a moment.

"It's Rebecca!"

"Are you alright?"

Mann's long-rimmed sunglasses disappeared in the explosion, and his eyes revealed a rare sense of composure and normalcy.

Rebecca didn't know when Mann's mental state was good or bad, but the situation in front of her was urgent, so she could only persuade patiently: "Mann, hurry up and evacuate!" ”

Mann said to Rebecca as if standing on top of an empty wilderness.

"It's okay, you take them out."

"I don't want to run away anymore, death has come."

Rebecca was really about to be blown up by Mann, and yelled, "What are you talking about?!" Don't talk about it at this time! Let's go! ”

Now.

A shrill warning was heard outside the bar.

"The Terrorist Mobile Team is on a special mission, please evacuate the area immediately!"

Then a column of red light shone into the bar, illuminating Mann's bleak smile.

Mann turned around, calmly facing out of the bar, and walked towards the red light.

The lonely figure faded away until it was completely engulfed in billowing smoke...

At this time.

In the prosthetic clinic.

Tang Yu always pays attention to Mann's physical and mental changes, and at the same time, the simulated picture of Mann's life experience constantly comes to his mind.

Old Wei sat on the sliding stool, checking Mann's various biological signs and making final preparations for surgery.

Just now Tang Yu said to wait a while, Lao Wei didn't ask for any reason, and let Mann fall into some kind of strange sleep.

Tang Yu asked Lao Wei seriously: "How far is Mann from cyber insanity?" ”

Lao Wei sighed slightly: "It may be a few steps away, and installing this damn thing will only aggravate the symptoms." ”

"You know, not all prosthetics cause cyberpsychosis, but for cyberpunks from the bottom, it's almost an irreversible process."

Tang Yu nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Lao Wei's statement, and Mann was the most typical example.

Lao Wei clicked on the screen and flipped through two pages casually.

"In order to provide adequate neurofeedback, most of the combat implants in the Mann Outfit have deep connections to the synapses."

"The erosion of the prosthetic metal on him is almost unavoidable, and if you want to get rid of it completely, you can only unload most of the weight prosthesis."

"Of course, he has enough financial strength to update a set of tailor-made advanced prostheses, and it will be much better to take drugs regularly to suppress rejection, at least better than now."

Tang Yu looked at Mann lying on the operating table, and his tone was very helpless.

"It's an age of prosthetics, and such a request is really impossible for Mann."

"Although he earns some money as a mercenary, it is still difficult to maintain the full set of advanced prosthetics newly developed by the company."

"Even if you can afford it, you may not be able to afford it."

Lao Wei agreed, and continued: "Mann also has a lot of inferior prostheses implanted in the early stage, causing heavy metal poisoning, limb pain, vomiting, trembling, migraine, high fever and thirst, which are all early symptoms of cyber psychosis. ”

"As the subsequent erosion intensifies, he is likely to have hallucinations, memory loss, hysteria and more."

"In the long run, all kinds of symptoms will develop severely, which will make him unable to distinguish between hallucinations and reality, and it will become extremely dangerous."

"It's just that this is his choice, and even if we see it, we can't stop it."

"Over the years I have been a prosthetic doctor, I have seen too many mercenaries who do not hesitate to gamble with their bodies in exchange for money and dreams in order to become stronger."

Tang Yu said silently: I hope Mann can understand something after this big dream.

Not much.

Mann gradually woke up from the reality of his life simulation, and let out a dull pain.

"Shhhhh

Mann opened his eyes, only to find that the bar scene had disappeared and had been replaced by a prosthetic clinic.

He struggled to his feet and sat up, looking up at his surroundings.

Standing not far away was Tang Yu, and Lao Wei, who was sitting on a sliding stool next to him.

He felt the pain splitting, and he experienced the sensation of the real hysteria, which still lingered in his brain, and could not be dissipated for a long time.

Mann could hardly tell if what he had just experienced was real or if what he was experiencing in front of him was real.

If it's a dream, it's all too real!

Old Wei asked with concern, "Mann, how do you feel?" ”

Mann slowed down for a moment before it became clearer.

"I'm fine, it's just that I just seemed to be asleep, I had a special dream, I can't quite say it, anyway, it's not a big problem."

Tang Yu was fully aware of Mann's entire experience in Sim Life, so his doubts were clear, but he couldn't give an answer.

In the life simulation ending.

At the last moment, Mann chooses to face the Terrorist Task Force alone.

In order to give his teammates time to escape and survive, Mann frantically uses the military-grade Sianweistein ability in succession to engage in a fierce battle with the Terrorist Task Force.

In the midst of the encirclement, he forcibly killed Tanaka who was hiding in an armored vehicle.

In the face of the terrifying strength of the Terrorist Task Force, he was defeated after all, fell in the rain of bullets, and completed the ending of the life simulation.

Apparently.

This ending is not too rosy for Mann, and it is even sad enough.

Tang Yu felt that this life simulation was of great significance to Mann.

It was enough for him to see how many thorns there were in his path, so what choice would Mann make, and would he continue to implant this ominous prosthesis?

Tang Yu was silent, waiting for Mann's answer.

Mann sat on the operating table, his expression a little dazed.

In my mind, I kept repeating the real dream picture.

The celebration of the bar, the trembling left hand, Dorio's worry, the Arasaka Company bomb, the powerful firepower of the Terrorizer, and so on.

The memory is deep, as if it had just happened.

Mann stared at his left palm, his fingers moving slightly.

Make sure that there is no obstruction to the movement of the fingers, and that there is no trembling, as if a stone is falling to the ground.

Mann exhaled heavily, his mood finally recovering.

"It does seem to be a dream, a dream that is real enough."

Then he looked up at the table next to him, which was a military-grade Sianweistan.

Mann's gaze is complicated, as if he has a hundred flavors.

The source of all tragic endings seems to be related to it.

This is true of the cyber madman James, and so is Mann in that dream.

The only difference is that he still has a choice.

Lao Wei saw that he didn't seem to be in a good state, and persuaded him in a low voice.

"Mann, why don't you postpone the implant surgery for two days, and then go back and think about it and make a decision?"

In the face of Old Wei's kindness, Mann gave him a confident smile, and his tone was firm and decisive.

"My physical condition, I know very well, absolutely no problem."

"This military-grade Sianweistan, put it on for me!"

When he said this, Tang Yu on the side was also slightly surprised.

Even though he thought that Mann might choose to pretend to be a prosthetic in the end, he just didn't expect to be so determined.

For Mann's opinion, I can't help but pay more attention to it.

This is definitely an iron man.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

As for why Mann was so determined to install this military-grade prosthetic, the answer is already self-evident.

In order to get stronger.

In order to obtain enough living space in this jungle society.

In order to create an escape space for the team in the event of a crisis, it is possible to create an escape space on its own.

What Mann has been doing all this way for, he must have already answered in his heart.

Lao Wei glanced at Tang Yu and wanted to know what he meant.

Tang Yu nodded slightly, acquiescing to Mann's request, but his gaze looked a little complicated.

In this situation, without the interference of strong external forces, Mann is very likely to embark on a point of no return and completely slide into the brink of losing control.

Tang Yu can only take one step at a time.

He didn't want to see someone like Mann, who ended up being a cyber maniac.

Either way, Mann is a man and has a good life.

Paid to do a decent job, with Dolio by his side, a team of mercenaries who fit in, and a group of friends to drink with at midnight.

I'm afraid that while enjoying all this happiness and beauty, it also makes Mann unable to push back half a step.

He is the leader of the team and he is responsible for everything.

The Sims option for Mann has turned grey out, and if you want to start the Sim again, you'll have to wait for a new life turnaround.

As for when the next turning point in life will appear, it depends on Mann's personal creation.

The surgery continued.

As Wei had instructed, Mann returned to the operating table and put on his breathing mask.

Lao Wei operated the instrument and began to perform preoperative anesthesia.

The mask on Mann's face gradually covered in a white mist, and as he breathed, the anesthetic slowly entered his lungs and was transported through his blood vessels to his brain.

Mann suddenly felt sleepy and comfortable like never before, and gradually closed his heavy eyelids and fell asleep.

Only this time there are no more real dreams.

Old Vi starts the installation process, and the mechanical arm begins to work on Mann's back.

As the back prosthesis was dismantled piece by piece, the fusion of flesh and machinery was completely exposed to the light.

Metal tubes are linked into the torso, as if floating with the breath.

Traces of flesh and blood hang on the green electronic component pavement board, which fits snugly against the flesh and skin.

Soon.

Military-grade San Westein was operated by a robotic arm and fitted into the back of Mann's spine.

The deep shell is tightly embedded in the back spine, like a bulging monster mechanical back. (Note 1)

The chip interface at the back of the head is lifted, and the neural operating system chip is slowly loaded into it.

Complete the last step.

Drip...

Military-grade Snwestein began to flash blue, lighting up sections of mechanical vertebrae until the brain chip was activated.

The entire prosthesis is now installed.

On Tang Yu's side, Mann's life simulation has ended, and life points and ability talents have appeared.

While Mann was in an anesthesia coma and Lao Wei was busy operating the operation, Tang Yu called up the system panel and looked at it carefully.

[Life Points::3]

[Fusion Ability 1: Perseverance and Unyielding (Rare)]

[Fusion Ability 2: Bullet Time (Normal)]

"I gained two points in life."

"And a new ability talent, 'Bullet Time.'"

'Bullet Time' attracted Tang Yu's special attention, and this innate ability should come from the military-grade Sianweistan used by Mann.

He chose to see the 'bullet time' details.

"Instantly stimulate the unlimited potential of every muscle, every nerve, and even every granule cell in the body, and quickly improve perception, explosiveness, reflexes, etc."

"Perception is like a unit of time slowing down and entering a special state of time called 'bullet time.'"

"When the 'bullet time' is turned on, the body's various functions will enter an overload state, and you will experience unprecedented speed, strength and speed."

"After the end, depending on the intensity and number of uses, it will produce different degrees of weakness, exhaustion, injury, nausea, and even damage to body functions and cause severe trauma, which needs to be used sparingly."

"'Bullet Time' is normal, time slowed down to 50%."

Tang Yu was a little helpless.

This bullet time is a bit like Sage Mode.

"At present, the ordinary level is equivalent to twice as fast as a person, and the power is not very good, but the room for improvement is very strong."

"In addition, the sequelae are very large, but when used with the previous talent 'tenacity and perseverance', it can be said to complement each other."

"Theoretically, as long as you recover fast enough, you can always turn on bullet time mode."

Tang Yu was very satisfied with the newly simulated 'bullet time' talent.

The next time you encounter some unexpected situations, the confidence to deal with them calmly will be greatly enhanced.

However, this ability is beyond the scope of normal people, and it is not appropriate to expose it to the eyes of others, so as not to be detected by people with ulterior motives.

You can't go wrong with being cautious in everything.

Tang Yu put away the attribute panel and waited for Mann, who was about to wake up.

After this operation, he will gain even more strength.

Note 1: The surgical scene here is expressed in the Edge Walker anime, and the appearance of the military Sianweistein in the game is a chip, and it does not contain a mechanical vertebral body on the back, some people speculate that this vertebral body is Krenzikov, but there is no official endorsement, and it does not affect the plot setting, or according to the original anime.
