Chapter 42: The Gap
A certain motorcycle, which was disfigured because of the sinister human heart, was driving at a uniform speed on the territory of the Crows.
There was a boy and a girl in the car, plus a large suitcase tied to the back of the car.
Because a certain arrogant girl is still sulking...
The two had not spoken before, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Aragaki Nagisa couldn't stand this silence a little, so he found a topic to knock on the side and said:
"Senior sister, what did you mean by what you said earlier, Sato's strength is not normal?"
"Oh, his prosthetic performance is too high, it's not like the strength that ordinary people can have."
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"Do you know what the cause of a cyber psychotic episode is?"
"It is said that it is because of the excessive modification of the prosthetic body, which makes it difficult to load the spirit..."
"That's a scientific explanation, but there's a not-so-scientific explanation in our superpowered world."
"Huh?"
"Let me tell you this, there is no cyber psychosis among the [Visionaries] and [Elemental Messengers] above the D rank."
“.......”
Nagisa Aragaki couldn't scratch his head, so he could only knock on his helmet:
"Senior sister, you might as well make your words clearer."
Haruka Sakai secretly rolled his eyes:
"It means that as long as the soul is strengthened to a certain extent, it can be immune to cyberpsychosis, which is a disease that only happens to ordinary people.
No, it's not a disease, it's just that the strength of the soul can't keep up with the strength of the body, which can lead to the wrong operation of the body, I say so, you understand. ”
Haruka Sakai was doing popular science calmly, not looking interested.
Nagisa Aragaki could tell that she wasn't very happy, but she didn't think too much about why she was unhappy, so she could only do it carefully:
"Oh~ I probably understand, you mean that Mr. Sato..."
Haruka Sakai interrupted directly and continued:
"Limited by the fragility of the human soul, ordinary people are actually unable to give full play to the performance of the prosthesis on their bodies 100%, and the use efficiency is about 60%~70%.
And the cybermaniac's offensive combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced when it is sick, because the limitation of this performance is broken.
But even if cyber is mentally ill, theoretically it is still impossible to fully exert the full power of the prosthetic body, at least with a knife and a bullet, such a thing is absolutely impossible! ”
"But this Hideki Sato has completely exerted the strength that he should have after the transformation of the prosthetic, his strength has caught up with an E-class genetic warrior, and an ordinary gang member in an out-of-town area should not have this kind of strength."
"Could it be something else? Like chips or something? ”
"Chips? I don't know, I don't know much about this. ”
“……”
Nagisa Aragaki rolled his eyes and continued to ask:
"Then Senior Sister Ling thinks this could be the reason?"
"Me? I think Sasaki may have deceived us, at least by withholding some key information,
This Hideki Sato may not be an ordinary person, but some kind of retired soldier or something, or he doesn't have cyber psychosis at all, but he simply has a problem with his brain......"
When he said this, Haruka Sakai's tone finally became sharp again, and he scolded with some indignation:
"In short, this Sasaki is really dishonest! This kind of mission that may face an E-tier opponent is a D-level mission from the start, if it is hung in the East Insurance Bureau! It's not something that our trainee countermeasures can pick up at all! ”
"Huh?? Is that so? ”
"Of course! We have strict standards for the division of entrusted tasks.
F-level missions are basically not dangerous, E-level missions are at most facing ordinary soldier-level enemies, and then D-level missions correspond to E-level enemies, C-level missions correspond to D-level enemies, and so on..."
"This Sasaki is really trying to scam us out of our money! The starting price of D-level tasks is 100,000 yuan!! We've just suffered a big loss!! ”
“……”
Looking at Haruka Sakai's indignant appearance, Nagisa Aragaki finally knew why she was depressed...
Feelings are simply my own amorous, and the only thing that can make her resentful is money.
Nagisa Aragaki tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued:
"But didn't he promise to give us 100,000..."
"That's why that's the most infuriating! We can't even find a reason to hold him accountable! This is obviously squeezing the surplus value of our trainee countermeasures! Damn Outtown Street Stinky Rats!! ”
Haruka Sakai was clearly stimulated, and the motorcycle began to move in an S-shape.
"It's... Senior sister, calm down, calm down. ”
"A mission that can obviously be rated as D, and we were caught with an F-level commission! It's still the lowest price! Don't you feel humiliated!? I can't wait to shoot him when we meet later! ”
"Okay, okay, senior sister, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's drive well, the car seems to have been damaged, it's a little bad..."
After that, Haruka Sakai kept cursing the black-hearted Sasaki Shin, and Nagisa Aragaki kept comforting Haruka Sakai in the back.
This senior sister seems to take the loss of money very seriously, the kind that can't be coaxed, and belongs to the type that can talk for a long time if she loses a dollar.
After that, when they crossed the checkpoint bridge, nothing happened, and the fact that the two of them had just killed five members of the Raven Gang seemed to have gone undetected, and they ran to the territory of the shogun's group very smoothly.
Haruka Sakai and Shin Sasaki made an appointment to meet under a bridge pier.
When Sasaki Shin appeared in front of him, Haruka Sakai stretched out his hand with a very unkind face:
"The commission is complete, you pay first!"
“……”
Sasaki really seemed to know that he was a little wrong, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly transferred 90,000 yuan to Sakai Haruka.
Haruka Sakai's face softened slightly, and he pointed to the tattered box next to him:
"The goods are here, you can inspect them and take them away."
But Sasaki didn't check it at all, just silently lifted the box.
"Wait a minute,"
Haruka Sakai suddenly called out to Sasaki Ma:
"What did this Hideki Sato do before? Retired mercenaries? Or something else..."
"No, we grew up in General Street,"
Sasaki paused for a moment:
"Sato-kun is just an ordinary friend of mine, and his life is very ordinary."
"......" Haruka Sakai put on a bitter gourd face, looking like he wanted to rob but endured it.
"Thank you."
Then Sasaki Ma bowed slightly and thanked him, then simply turned around and left.
Haruka Sakai didn't keep anyone.
"Humph!"
Sakai stomped her feet, snorted arrogantly, shook her ponytail with both hands, and roared loudly:
"Let's go too!"
"Wait? That's it? You're leaving? ”
Aragaki Nagisa was a little stunned, he was just preparing to watch the play, but this is gone?
"Won't you ask him for an explanation? Didn't you say he lied to us? ”
"After all, the price was negotiated in advance, and as for saying that he lied to me... Isn't there no evidence... And he's probably not sure of the cybermaniac's strength.
Forget it this time! Who told me to take on this task without much thought? ”
Haruka Sakai gritted his teeth and shook his head irritably:
"Let's just take it as a lesson, and if you hadn't gone crazy and hit him with a car, we might have all given up our mission and left."
"You said you were going to shoot him..."
Haruka Sakai suddenly shouted loudly:
"Shut up, shut up! I'm annoyed! I'm annoyed! I'm a reasonable man! I won't break the contract to kill people and sell goods! ”
“……”
Where do you look reasonable? Aragaki Nagisa didn't dare to speak.
After a while, Haruka Sakai whispered sullenly:
"Junior brother... There is no humanity in Xiacheng, and human life is not valuable, so it is actually quite stupid to pay 100,000 yuan for a dead person..."
Then she crossed her waist and said in a loud voice:
"All in all, I just don't look down on this 100,000 yuan of small money, so I didn't bother with him! It's not because of poor this guy! Alright, so be it, let's go! ”
“…… Okay, so where do we go next? ”
Nagisa Aragaki chuckled and shook his head, he didn't comment on Haruka Sakai's decision, and he didn't say anything.
After all, it wasn't his task in the first place, and he didn't have much to say.
"Have lunch and keep making money! Well, here's your share. ”
Nagisa Aragaki glanced at the transfer prompt, and then was taken aback:
"Sixty-five thousand?! Senpai? Are you sure you want to give me so much? ”
"Do you think I'd love to share you so much!?"
Haruka Sakai glared at Nagisa Aragaki fiercely:
"You're fighting with your life, can I still deduct your share of the money?"
She snorted coldly again and turned her head:
"You have made a lot of efforts to entrust this commission, so you have the lion's share, and I am very fair!"
“……”
It turns out that you are sulking, and there is still a reason for me, and Aragaki Nagisa actually felt a little moved.
But if you insist on being held accountable just now, you can actually talk about an extra amount of money...
"Then I... Did you really accept it? ”
"If you don't want it, give it back to me!"
"Okay, thank you, senior sister, senior sister is atmospheric."
"Climb!"
——…——
In the afternoon, Nagisa Aragaki and Haruka Sakai took a few more commissions, but they didn't encounter any special trouble.
It's basically some "delivery delivery" work, and sure enough, as Haruka Sakai said, there is nothing dangerous about F-class missions.
However, Nagisa Aragaki has seen a lot of different "scenery" because of this, so I will not press the table here for the time being.
In the evening, the two drove back to the rental car shop of the Golden Tiger Gang on their motorcycles, and when the shop owner saw the "brand-new" motorcycle, his face was so black that he could drip water.
When Haruka Sakai and the boss greet each other elegantly and escape from the car shop, and once again stand in the bustling city under the control of the Golden Tiger Gang, Nagisa Aragaki has the illusion of being in a different world.
The metropolis of the cyber world can only show its charm at night.
A colorful city intertwined with neon lights and holographic projections, this is the heavenly kingdom on earth forged by the power of human beings, but it is like a demonic ball that has moved from purgatory to the mortal world.
"Let's go, Aragaki, I'll take you to a good place where you can sell stolen goods, first dispose of the chips you got today, and you can make a small profit~"
The beautiful girl's crisp voice interrupted Nagisa Aragaki's thoughts, and Nagisa Aragaki shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly:
"Here, Senpai."
Now that he has become a part of many red dust demons in this world.
Perhaps, I should also make my voice heard in this lively hellish party.
