Chapter 258: Calm

12.5 per cent for option one, 50 per cent for option two and 37.5 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 3]

【Calm】

……

Zheng Zhuo finally chose the level 2 enhancement component of [Calm].

He felt that this could be beneficial to his actions.

Reinforcement components arrive quickly. A drone flew in through the window and directly helped Zheng Zhuo hit the nanochip into his neck.

When the drone left, Zheng Zhuo was not as surprised as he was when he saw it fly in.

He wasn't sure if it was because [Calming] had reached level 2 or if it was because it would have been more impactful at first sight.

……

In the afternoon, Minato Ward.

Under the clear sky, the tower crane can be seen slowly swinging its long arm to transport the container to various areas. Far away, the whistle of a ship approaching the shore could be heard.

Loading area. As far as the eye can see, there are clusters of containers everywhere. These monotonous behemoths are layered on top of each other and spread along the shore, becoming the only sight in the area.

It is two or three o'clock, the most sleepy time for people. There are very few people on the road and very few cars. Drones with flashing red and green lights were on duty above, buzzing and flying around.

Some drones noticed the entrance to the port area.

A white sedan is pulling into the port area.

The sound of machinery operating can be heard from under the stainless steel casing. The license plate and the driver's identity information were entered and compared one by one, and the green headlights flashed.

After a while, the drone flew away. They returned to their normal patrol routes.

This means that there is no problem with the comparison.

……

The white sedan straightened down the avenue, through stacks of containers, and finally, onto a side road.

By this point, the containers are not as new as they are outside. You can even see visible rust on them.

Moreover, there are many containers with open doors.

Here the white car turned into the side road again and stopped, at the designated parking space.

"Arrived at the destination. Navigation is complete. ”

With an electromechanical female voice, the door opened.

Zheng Zhuo stepped down from the driver's seat and straightened his clothes.

"It's a thorough navigation."

He looked back at the steering wheel of the car. On the steering wheel, green eyes are spinning.

None of the way he controlled the vehicle. The entire process was handed over to the autonomous driving system.

Zheng Zhuo thinks this is good.

However, this feature does not seem to be standard for all vehicles in Cyberpunk World.

When Zheng Zhuo got into the car, the autopilot system asked him to set up a lot of detailed adjustments after the "first 10 hours".

According to Zheng Zhuo's calculations, his past self has also upgraded the car.

It stands to reason that the past self is also yourself. But Zheng Zhuo still has a hard time imagining his big spending.

No......

(Seems to be able to imagine a little.) )”

Zheng Zhuo thought of the ID photo on his ID card wearing a suit, combing his big back, and the corners of his mouth tightened.

[Cyberpunk World] is probably crazy to be tortured by work. I took a sum of money and didn't have to go to work anymore...... That's why revenge consumption began.

(It's not impossible.) )”

The more Zheng Zhuo thought about it, the more credible he felt.

He knows better than anyone that he can do anything after being tortured by attendance.

……

There was a soft sound from the side of the car. The young woman in the passenger seat came down, interrupting Zheng Zhuo's thoughts.

"Did you find more information?"

Zheng Zhuo turned his head and asked.

Just now, as soon as the young woman got into the car, she said, "I have seen my identity information." I work in Night Street. I've got quite a few people in my address book, I'm going to ask if anyone knows anything", and then, silently operating her holographic glasses for the entire journey.

"And guess what? I did find it. ”

The young woman scratched her fingers. Zheng Zhuo's eyes popped up with a [Nearby Contact Request].

is a video. Zheng Zhuo accepted it.

"I asked my colleague who works in the store. They sent me a video footage. ”

"Whose ...... was recorded?"

Zheng Zhuo stopped without asking. Because he had already clicked on the video.

What appears in the video is his most familiar face.

His own face.

In the video, Zheng Zhuo is talking on the phone with holographic glasses.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I got a big deal at the company! No one thought that so many people would hide there after looking for a long time! ”

"I don't know who hid it...... But I knew that the man would not dare to call the police......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's kind of scary...... But...... Heck, just think of that as a bag of money! What's more, it's not just about money! Be...... It's ......"

"Now I have a way to get revenge on that stupid company!"

"Hey, hey, old bear, don't interrupt, listen to me. I...... I...... I put that ......"

"Huh? What? Of course it won't be in its original place! I took it out right away! I found a warehouse......"

This is the end of the meaningful content in the video. It looks like it was taken with the in-store surveillance camera of [Night Street], because next, Zheng Zhuo's people ...... That is, the young woman came. She lifted him up and took him out of camera's range. Then, the sound of the door opening and closing was heard.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The young woman looked at Zheng Zhuo in silence, who was frowning.

"Your wine isn't very good, is it?"

"No...... No, I don't admit it's me. Zheng Zhuo pressed his temples and said, "Shouting loudly in public that you have made a fortune?" I'm not going to do such a stupid thing. It won't be like this if you win 100 million. ”

"That's what everybody said before they really hit 100 million."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My head started hurting again. ”

"It's not a good joke."

"No...... No. It's true. ”

Zheng Zhuo's head really started to hurt. Moreover, more and more intensely. It felt like something swirling between his temples and his eardrums, and it felt like a particularly severe form of otitis media.

Zheng Zhuo heard the rustling of radio waves, and the faint voice of a person.

Zheng Zhuo really can't stand it! He took off his holographic glassesβ€”

All the pain and sound were gone.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the glasses in his hand.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are my glasses broken? ”

……

Zheng Zhuo suspected that his holographic glasses were malfunctioning. This malfunction is dangerous and can bring auditory hallucinations and pain.

But he still had to wear it. Because without it, he would not be able to find the warehouse he rented, and he would not be able to enter it.

Thankfully, when I put it back on, the malfunction stopped.

"It seems that in the near future, people's mobile phone dependence will be more obvious."

Zheng Zhuo muttered, leading the young woman past one container after another. Finally, stopped in front of a shipping container.

This container has been repurposed. It was divided into sections, and on each section there was a door.

Red and white paint painted the extent of the door, and Zheng Zhuo saw that the electronic sign of his contract indicated that the door read "Library 712".

"That's it."

[Is it open?] 】

"Open."

Zheng Zhuo used his contract authority to open the warehouse.

As soon as the door opened, the cold air rushed in.

It's still cold storage. Moreover, the temperature is very low.

The frost creaked as the door opened. Zheng Zhuo saw that it was very narrow inside, only enough for a person's shoulder width. In the middle of the warehouse, there is a large black bag, which is tied with a plastic strap on the top.

This large bag is also the only thing in the library.

Zheng Zhuo always felt that he had seen this big bag somewhere, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Bad. ”

Zheng Zhuo suddenly had a very bad feeling.

But he had to know what's inside the bag. He couldn't beat his past self and ask him about it. If he wanted to know what was inside the bag, he had to open it.

Zheng Zhuo removed his keychain from his belt. He used the knife he used to decorate it to cut through the plastic straps that had become brittle from freezing.

The big bag fell. It slammed against the wall of the library, and a large object slid out of it.

Is that......

It was a blue-faced female corpse in a red dress.

"I*."

Zheng Zhuo cursed.
