Chapter XVII: The Battle Ends
"Platinum Star! Blow them up! β
There were only ten bullets in front of him, which was enough for the speed of the "Platinum Star" with only one hand, and there was even room to adjust the direction slightly.
In the blink of an eye, ten punches were swung out.
The fist struck the tail of the bullet with tremendous force, and the power poured in, squeezing the primer placed in its bullet.
So, at the moment when the time stop ended, all the bullets in front of Shirahoshi were fired.
Maybe because there is no rifling of the barrel, the bullet will be crooked after being fired, but for this dense group of self-detonating soldiers, as long as one shot-
As long as you hit one shot-
"There it is!"
Shirahoshi could hear the sound of his own bullets hitting the floor, as well as the sound of several bullets bouncing off the space several times.
But the result did not disappoint him, because at least one bullet hit the target.
The red lotus that kept blooming in front of Shirahoshi's eyes proved everything.
The chain reaction caused a continuous burst of explosive fire, blooming from Shirahoshi's eyes to the end.
By the time the factory had calmed down, there was only a scorched black ground left in front of the white star.
"So, the next ...... to deal with"
"You're the only one left!"
Shirahoshi seemed to be talking to himself, but he put one hand in his pocket, and the other finger stretched out his index finger to point into the darkness of the upper part.
The "Platinum Star" was guarding his side, his head slightly tilted, his eyes determined.
"Don't try to escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shirahoshi rushed out like a tiger pounced, his right fist raised high, and he slammed straight into the darkness.
After the blow, Shirahoshi fell back to the ground, and there was an extra prosthetic limb in his hand.
Throwing away the prosthetic body in his hand, Bai Xing glanced around, and suddenly his eyes froze again, and his body pounced again.
"Platinum Star!"
"Time to stop!"
One second......
Two seconds......
As time began to flow again, Shirahoshi's position had teleported to the other side of the factory.
Three other prosthetic limbs were left at his feet, and in front of him was the cyber psychotic man with only his body and head left.
"You lose, that's your fate."
Shirahoshi kicked away the limb he had ripped off with his own hands and slowly approached the man.
"For ...... Why ......"
The man stared at Shirahoshi with his electronic eyes and said with difficulty, "Why...... You can...... Know where I am ......"
"It's a ...... What implants...... Bastard who didn't pretend to be ......."
"Because of the explosion just now."
Bai Xing put his hands in his pockets and explained unhurriedly, the current situation was completely under his control, without any exceptions.
"Explosion...... Explode? But I know ...... Move after the explosion...... You can't ......."
"No, what I need is not the light of the explosion, but the temperature of the explosion, otherwise it would be too cold here."
"See?"
Shirahoshi stretched out a hand, and above his palm, a blue flame floated.
"It's ...... Flame? β
"You've killed a lot of people here, haven't you?" Shirahoshi looked at the hanging sticks on the ceiling.
"It really stinks, just killing but not disposing of these corpses, all of them are rotten."
He suddenly took the blue flame in his palm.
"There is phosphorus in human bones, and if the body is not disposed of properly, the body will decompose, and eventually phosphine will be formed."
"Phosphine is a gas that has a very low ignition point and only needs a little temperature to ignite."
"But even if ...... Such...... It's not enough either...... Illuminate...... Here......" The man's tone was still full of unwillingness and doubt.
"That's right, it's really not enough to illuminate the whole factory, so it's mainly up to you."
"...... me?"
"You've been shifting your position on the ceiling, haven't you? But it is precisely because of your movement that the air flow in the factory is driven, so that these blue flames always move with you. β
"This is the so-called scary 'ghost fire' in the graveyard!"
With that, the two fell silent again.
After a long time, it was Shirahoshi who broke the silence first.
"So, what are you waiting for? Resign yourself to your fate. β
"For ...... What...... Why is there no response......"
"If you're talking about your little robotβ"
Shirahoshi said slowly.
Behind him, in the corner of the container, two small spider robots that had been stepped on and on the right were sloppy, exposing the monomolecular threads in them.
"I've already disposed of it."
"Ora!"
ββββββββββ
Soon, Regina, who got the news, rushed to the scene with her people.
"Tut-tut-"
"What, are you in trouble?"
Shirahoshi looked at Regina who was looking around him in a circle, a little speechless.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious, with your original body, how did you kill that kind of opponent."
Her gaze shifted to Cyberpsychosis, who was being moved out by his men.
"This guy's degree of transformation is among the top in the cyber psychosis I've seen."
"That's the secret, the secret that can't be said."
With that, Shirahoshi took out a chip from his pocket and handed it to Regina.
"Oh yes, and this one for you, I found it from him."
"What is this?" Regina wondered.
"It's just a chat."
Hearing this, Regina dared to take the chip and insert it into her chip slot.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to put anything from cyber psychosis into the chip slot casually.

Dylan Kant: I'm quitting! I've had enough! You're going to be pissed off by the damn boss during the day, and you're going to be pestered by your old thing at night! Come on, whoever likes to do it, I won't do it anyway!
Matt Kant: How can you say that? I'm your father!
Dylan Kant: You? Do you deserve it too? You're going to ask me for half of my pitiful salary!
Matt Kant: Don't laugh, son, isn't it right for you to give me a little money, shouldn't you do your duty and repay me for raising me?
Dylan Kant: Give you money? Paralyzing you! My monthly salary is so much, you have to swallow half of it! And then what? Then take my money and go to Twist Street to find chickens!
Dylan Kant: And your B-nurturing grace, which is the so-called throwing me at the door of the orphanage when I was a child, knowing that I entered that Shabi broken company and suddenly jumped out to recognize my father?
Dilan Kant: I said forget it, don't torture me like this, I quit the job, and this house will be given to you, I won't stay!
ββββββββββ
"That's the way it is."
Shirahoshi waited until Regina finished reading and said.
"Alas, this hanging city, the city of hanging nightβ"
"You know, I was actually a journalist. FTF Radio, have you heard of it? β
Shirahoshi shook his head.
"That's right, because that radio station was quickly bought by the big guy in the industry, N54 News Channel."
"I wasβ" Regina lit a cigarette and continued, "and wanted to expose some of the inside, to think that doing so would at least bring a little bit of change to the city from the inside out, but obviously, I failed." β
Shirahoshi continued to listen quietly to Regina, being a good listener.
"And now? It seems that those big companies will also be hacked in the news, but in fact, it is just a harmless little fight, and the darkness that is really hidden in it will never be allowed to be exposed. β
"So as you can see, I'm now a middleman, although I'll also sell some information."
"Shirahoshi, do you know where all the good people in Night City are?"
"In the graveyard?"
"The one in the graveyard is a legend, and the good guy isβ"
"Nowhere else."
"The good people will only be left with nothing left in Night City, and they will all be devoured."
A cigarette was quickly smoked, and Regina threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, then laughed at herself:
"Sorry, that's too much."
"It's fine."
"So be it, although I have some understanding of the matter of Dylan Kant, I will check it again."
"For the time being, I don't have any news of cyber psychosis on hand, and when I have new information, I will contact you again, so let's go first."
"Okay, I'll get in touch when there's news."
After seeing Regina leave, Shirahoshi took one last look back at the industrial area in the north of the city before walking towards his home.
