Chapter Seventy-Five: The Popular Period
I saw Masako Akiyama kneeling quietly in a sitting position, pressing her hands as if holding a saber in the air, pressing it on the left waist side, pushing the sword forward with her left thumb to the right, interlocking the thumb and index finger of her right hand, holding the sword in the tiger's mouth, and after three breaths, she suddenly breathed out, stood up straight, waved her hand, and compared the action of drawing the knife and slashing.
Then keep the knees slightly bent into a posture of falling waist, and do a knife swing to shake the blood, the knife into the sheath, and then lower the waist and slowly close together, both hands are closed, and the knees kneel back to the floor.
In this way, the knife was put into the sheath and the completion of the one-style settlement, and Masako Akiyama turned her head and stared at Li Pan with wide eyes.
ββ¦β¦ What? Finished? No, you're just teasing the monkey! Seriously show your hand! β
Li Pan was also speechless, jumped over and moved Masako, facing the still dancing machine Ji,
"Come, cut off the dancer's head. Use some force! I'll pay for it! β
Masako Akiyama hesitated for a moment, and she also felt that it was a bit perfunctory to put on a posture for Li Pan, a layman, and to wave it in the air.
After all, if you want to sell 10 million secrets, you have to show some sincerity.
So she "hissedβexhaled," gathered her breath in the palm of her hand, and swung her knife out to slash out a strong wind.
So the wind blade blew on his face, blowing a few fingers of bangs on the mechanical puppet.
Li Pan, "Huh? That's it? β
That's it......
Just now, taking advantage of the situation, he kept his hand on Masako's body, and Li Pan sensed Masako's pranayama method throughout the whole process, so he had already seen it.
Yi Jian Liu......
Litter!
No, what's there to brag about? Or mysterious? This is just the most basic application of 'Qi', right?
Isn't it just the technique of using the Taiyin Lung Meridian in the left hand and the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian in the right hand to breathe, using the change in strength to accumulate qi in the wrist and create a vortex 'qi blade'? The Nine Yin Refining Form is more difficult than this!
And when this 'air blade' comes out, the strength is the same, with the distance is greatly attenuated, and in the end, the power is not as good as the real dragon break that he put in his hand.
But the sword qi that the swordsman slashed out before was not fake? Is it because Masako's cultivation is not enough?
No, the calluses on Akiyama Masako's hands are touched, and her swordsmanship is also a one-size-fits-all practice, and she practices penance every day, the first time she holds a sword in her hand, she can also feel Ling Ran's murderous aura, why is she so weak now?
Is the other party hiding his true skills? Or is it because Li Pan's understanding is still not enough? I didn't see this Yi Jian Liu, what other hidden secrets are there?
No, do you really have to spend 10 million to learn this three-legged cat trick??
Masako Akiyama saw that Li Pan looked suspicious, and also blushed a little, and hurriedly explained,
"This, this move needs to be combined with a famous knife in order to exert its power! The more ancient the famous thing, the better!
Today, my Juyi text is not around, and when you come to the Taoist hall and take the real sword demonstration, you will know that my Yi Daoliu swordsmanship is powerful! β
"Oh, the real sword?"
Hearing what Masako said, Li Pan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed.
That's right, a real sword!
If there is any difference between the previous swordsman and Masako at this time, it is the sword in his hand!
I see, it turns out that this is the 'secret legend'!
Such a simple truth, didn't you say it on the first day of joining the company! I actually want Masako Akiyama to remind me! What a fool!
Now Li Pan completely understood.
Use a real sword!
It's about using monsters!
It's brainless and inexplicable to say, but that's the rule of 0791!
It's the 'Heavenly Dao' here!
The energy of the otherworldly existence, projected into this world, will be transformed into a 'monster'!
So when he didn't succeed in his skills, but when he attached the monkey sword qi to the blade, he could still meet gods and kill gods, and kill ghosts!
But if you hit the real dragon with your bare hands, even if you have cramps, it will have no effect, and it will only be the extent of throwing a big living person away!
In 0791, you have to rely on 'monsters' to play an effect!
"I see! Oh, Yi Jianliu's tricks are really breathtaking, I'll visit you another day and ask my wife for advice. β
Li Pan was now eager to immediately go to the whole monster to try this conjecture, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and said goodbye to Mrs. Akiyama first.
Masako Akiyama was also a little disappointed, after all, there were so many opportunities to earn 10 million in these years, but Li Pan had already chased away the guests, so he could only say a few more words I Yijian Liu In addition to Juhe pulling out the sword, there are many exquisite swordsmanship, killing secrets, Manager Li must come to the Taoist Hall to see another day, etc., so he put on his coat and left in one step and three times.
Without further ado, after comprehending the secret, Li Pan also wanted to brush up on his daily routine immediately and test his conjecture.
But unexpectedly, he had just gone out and received another communication.
This time it was an orange call.
No! What the hell is going on today!? Could it be that Lao Tzu has entered a popular period?
"Crooked? Oranges? What's up? β
"Are you free? Help me tie someone. β
Wow~~ Okay, orange, as soon as you get up, you kidnap the ticket and extort the ransom? That's definitely free!
So Li Pan rushed to the coordinates, a nightclub in the old capital area, judging from the bounty introduction of NCPA, a bustling street nearby, nightclubs, casinos and hotels, all of which are the venues of the Dongcheng Club.
Because of the financial and equipment support of the Takamagahara and Tokugawa families, unlike the out-of-town gangs that were driven to the suburbs, these business circles in the old capital area are basically the industries of the Dongcheng Society, and there are NCPA's black police escorts, even if they are besieged, occasional assassinations are okay, and they have to break into the lair all the way to raid the house, and the local gangs don't have that kind of Rambo.
Walking in from the intersection, there are many gangsters, who have to be on guard at the intersection in groups to prevent the impact of gangs from other places. There are quite a lot of people gathered at this time, and they are taking advantage of the recent improvement in the war situation of the Tokugawa family to hold a meeting?
At this time, from a nearby bar, there was a deafening baboon scream, Li Pan glanced at it, well, it's not in the fire, today is the Explosive Ball Tournament.
Well, it's the exploding ball that the ball in your hand will explode, bam! Suddenly, the men and women in the arena exploded one after another bright red intestine flowers, stumps and broken arms scattered and splashed, and the gangsters also cried and howled with the explosion, hoarse ghosts cried wolf, and the barking sound was like waves one after another, really a group of demons danced, and they were so excited that they even caught a passing homeless man in the middle of the half-time washing the floor, and also disemboweled him, took out his intestines and danced on his body.
In fact, it's not just the underworld, the Exploding Ball Tournament is indeed one of the most popular tournaments in the heavens this year. Second only to mecha fighting and lightsaber duels, after all, the first two are aristocratic sports, and this one is civilian.
Some people like to watch sports, some people like to watch heads, some people like to watch explosions, and some people just want to watch football.
So while everyone was watching the game, going around and around, Li Pan found his Emperor 620 in the nearby parking lot.
Orange crouched in the car, still wearing the dirty NCHC jacket, jeans and cargo shoes, sunglasses and a spray-painted face mask, her red hair tied into a ponytail, a police shotgun in her hand, and a single-molecule dagger at her waist.
Li Pan got into the car,
"What's going on? Cyberpunk mission? But there are cameras everywhere, so they'll be detected. And what kind of equipment do you have? What are these things trying to do? It's too rough to prepare.
Who is the target? None of the photos and videos? How does the intermediary do the intelligence? β
Orange gritted his teeth,
"It's not a mission, it's Ian. Campbell, I watched all the way and saw him enter that nightclub! β
"Oh, it's him......"
Ian. Campbell, well, this guy's information is still given to Orange by Li Pan.
This person is the head of the personnel department of Argyle Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Yeshi Group. He had a son, Guy. Campbell, yes, it's just idle, I like to use Huang Dahe as a sandbag to practice boxing, and in the end, it was this good father who made a move, and the Huang family was almost ruined.
The first thing cyberpunk did when he debuted was to avenge his son? It's understandable, it's understandable, but right......
"Orange, you don't want to rush in and tie people up, do you? Do you know why this nightclub hasn't been swept down until now? This area is all zoned to the community of the East Side Society, you see that even the dogs on the side of the road have tattoos on their bodies, Made, this is too cruel cough cough.
In short, that Campbell, the ancestor of his family, is the Duke of Argyll, and because of his achievements in technological development, he has been promoted to the first blood elder, and he is also an important member of their board of directors. β
Li Pan stared at the orange,
"This family is not a blood slave, it is a blood descendant, you know? The descendants of the lineage, move them, and the Night Clan will be regarded as a declaration of war.
And let's take 10,000 steps back and say, you can't even be sure if it's the other party's ontology or prosthetic, right? Even if he is caught, he won't even have a hacker to help control him, and if he is knifed now, he will cause big trouble. β
"Okay," Orange glared at him, "I'll do it myself, then." β
I'm going to be so stubborn, this woman is so stubborn, but it's also, I suddenly saw the initiator of the destruction of my family, I really hated it.
Now that Orange has made up his mind, Li Pan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders,
"Okay, I can help you, but the third chapter of the law, listen to my command, listen to my command, listen to my command!
Agreed? If you don't agree, I'll knock you out and take it away. β
Orange loaded the shotgun and nodded silently.
"Okay, I'll make a plan, I'll lend you this."
So Li Pan pulled out the black kite and handed it to the orange,
"Wait a while, I'll rush in, kill all the people standing, leave him alive, you wait for the signal, there will be hackers to contact you, indicate the route without monitoring, you will quietly enter the village, don't shoot, just drag people out and kidnap them."
Orange looked at the big gun, took it and stuck it in his belt,
"That's your plan? What are you doing? β
I saw Li Pan take out the handkerchief in his pocket, rubbed it on his face for a while, saw that there was no response, and took out a silver key from his pocket, stuffed it into the handkerchief, and the key disappeared, as if by magic.
"What else do I need, full of equipment, all the way A to go in and it's over, the plan is for you.
This is called taking advantage of its chaos, benefiting its weakness and having no owner. Follow, in order to feast on obscurity. β
Orange, "What? β
"Fishing in troubled waters."
Then Li Pan put the handkerchief on his face, and the next moment, his face was covered by the whole piece, turning into a white, smooth, faceless, and vaguely humanoid steamed bun-like thing.
Orange shivered violently, and when she came back to her senses, Li Pan had disappeared from the front of the car, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that under the light, on the road in front of the nightclub, a slender figure suddenly appeared.
Under the cool night breeze, the black suits loomed in the staggered light and shadow, as if some light refracted from the void, colliding with the neon of the night capital, casting a quiet darkness.
"! What, what a thing! When were you standing there? Scared dad to death! β
"It's ...... Virtual projection? A hacker hacked into the system? β
"There is a shadow, is it a person? Hey, you're here! Talk, you madman! β
The bodyguard at the door was not a fool, looking at the strange human figure in a formal suit and wrapped in a white cloth, he immediately pulled out his gun and roared.
Orange leaned on the window and looked out, and suddenly felt the air around him cool down, and the breath of the breath formed a layer of frost on the window, and the gray mist poured out of nowhere, wrapping the earth in a thin veil.
Then Orange and the bodyguards saw the figure in formal suit, suddenly raise his arm, hold the tiger's mouth empty, and point straight to the main entrance of the nightclub, as if holding an invisible javelin in his hand.
And then
Stab.
At this moment, a wall suddenly appeared on the road.
No, it's not a wall, it's a high-pressure and high-speed sonic boom that breaks through the sound barrier, penetrates the atmosphere and haze, and creates a cracked crack.
It was as if something had been shattered, pierced, and the vibration that broke through the limits stretched out towards heaven and earth like a spreading ice flower along the dusty powder and gray mist.
"Boom ββ!!"
It's like a dragon roaring.
Winds, sonic booms, thunder, swept in.
The nightclub of the East Side Club disappeared, and along with the houses in a straight line, a huge chasm appeared on the surface of the Night City, like a railgun on the flat ground, and the wind of steel rolled the earth of alloy concrete into rolling waves.
The ground opened like the surface of the sea divided by Moses, and cracked and bloomed like a torn mille-feuille, revealing underground pipes and waterways. At least three blocks of land were pierced by the blow, and nearby tempered glass was shattered by sonic booms.
If you look down from a high position, you can see the crack that has suddenly imprinted on the surface of the Night City, like a dry river valley, like a burst of lightning, and like a dragon.
After a brief silence, security system alarms shrieked throughout the city.
"Whew! Lie down in a groove! Refreshing! β
The orange with his chin open turned his head, only to see that at some point, Li Pan had folded his handkerchief and sat on the co-pilot.
"Wow Fat ......"
Looking at the ruins across the street, Li Pan also smiled bitterly,
"My pot, the calculation is a little wrong, I just tried it, I didn't expect to be able to play my best, and I also got a double bonus...... But it doesn't matter, that guy shouldn't be dead yet, and the plan hasn't failed yet! Let's go, let's go to the hospital now and squat, drive! β
The Emperor 620 trotted and automatically navigated to a nearby hospital.
Orange then reacted to what he was doing, "Huh? It's not dead yet? β
Li Pan explained,
"Campbell is a minister, and his salary is not enough to take care of the medical insurance team, but at least it is a level 5 prosthesis assigned by the company, even if his whole body is broken, the brain insert can generally be saved, and the prosthesis can still be transferred if he is operated on in time.
After a while, the security bureau and the three-headed dog will come to martial law, and it will be too late to find someone, but according to the regulations, when there is a large-scale public safety accident, the injured will be sent to a nearby hospital for first aid as soon as possible. β
Orange still stared at Li Pan, his eyes fell on the handkerchief he folded on his chest,
ββ¦β¦ What the hell is this stuff. β
"If I told you that I had to deduct a month's salary."
Li Pan thought about it,, you can deduct two thousand and a half, whatever.
"This is a monster, our company specializes in this kind of thing, you see, this shot is not bad, it's about the same as a cruiser-class railgun."
Orange swallowed with difficulty, trying to look away, but still couldn't help but keep her eyes on the handkerchief.
Li Pan looked at her and said with a smile,
"What, you want to stop? Yes, it's still too late to get back to normal life. β
Orange was stunned, raised his gaze to look at Li Pan, gritted his teeth,
"There's no going back."
Li Pan shrugged his shoulders and lay on the seat,
"If you want to start a little bit, it's too late to start again."
Thanks to their timely run, it only took about 30 minutes for the streets to be jammed with all kinds of first-aid engineering police and military vehicles.
Although generally speaking, the Security Bureau will not interfere in the affairs of the gang fire in the Night Capital, especially in the underworld community, a group of social dregs, killed and pulled down. But someone actually used a seventh-level naval gun! Flat shot on the business district! That's too bad!
Soon, there were a lot of broken gangsters, who were dragged to the hospital by the emergency drone, and the hospital's drone also ran to automatically hand over, direct pupil scanning, and the team leader with cash was dragged into the operating room for emergency rescue, and those who had no cash were thrown outside the hospital and piled up to die.
Orange's side, under the guidance of Eighteen, sneaked into the hospital from the back door to fish, while Li Pan wandered to the front gate, waiting for an opportunity to support her action.
Then as soon as he saw this pile and that pile, wow, it was all money, and he immediately smiled, pulled out the silver cone from his waist, and pounced on it to scuttle the gangsters to death.
"Hey! What are you doing! Stop it! β
Li Pan looked up, and was actually an acquaintance again,
"Oh, isn't this the police flower of the Night City, the Reagan Police Department, a long-admired daimyo."
"What a long admiration for the Daimyo! Who are you! Actually committed murder in broad daylight! I'm going to arrest you! β
Angela. Reagan was so angry that he looked at the dozen or so wounded who were killed and pointed a gun at Li Pan.
Why don't you recognize Lao Tzu if you don't tear your face, what is the ninth generation of poor people really has no eyesight.
Li Pan was also speechless, and sent her the bounty hunter license to see,
"Officer, I'm not committing a crime, I'm helping to maintain law and order in the Night City, see for yourself, isn't this a bounty from your NCPA? You see, the tax bureau has awarded me 4,250 yuan. β
"Ah......h Mutter...... In short, no! These people are seriously injured and unconscious! At this time, it is too despicable to mend the knife! There is no room for resistance at all, it's so unfair! β
Angela obviously came to support, only to find out that the people lying on the ground were actually gang members with a bounty of 1,000 or 500.
Li Pan rolled his eyes, "Wow, the police department, you have a good sense of justice, even the underworld is treated fairly." β
Angela straightened up, "Not bad! Yes, that's it! The underworld should also be arrested and brought to justice, and a fair trial should be made! Anyway, I'm here, and you won't be allowed to kill in front of me again! β
"Hehe, yes, okay then," Seeing a group of gloomy-looking NCPA patrol officers coming around, Li Pan also smiled and put away the silver cone, "But the police department, looking at your appearance, haven't you heard of their Dongcheng Association's induction ceremony?" β
"Occupation ......"
"Bang bang bang!!"
Before Angela could finish speaking, suddenly a gunshot rang out behind her, startling her to turn her head.
I saw that the NCPA patrol officers who arrived pulled out their personal firearms, and had a blank face to make up for the underworld on the ground, and the smart bullet was not fatal, and those who did not bring private guns picked up their batons and beat them to death, so that their brains burst out, and even chips were splashed everywhere. Then the corpses were dragged together and gasoline poured on them and burned.
A complete slaughter.
