Tokyo Juggernaut 2077

Yuan Ye, who knows the relationship between qi and psionic energy, naturally knows this. The explanation of psionic energy given by the system is "the energy that maintains the existence of a complex system", so when the psionic energy disappears, the complex system, that is, people, naturally also If you can't keep going, your life will come to an end.

"But as I said before, as long as you believe that the opponent is stronger than you, your qi will automatically strengthen the opponent." Taketa Ito explained, "That's why I issued the commission. I hope to attract some people to come and give He exerted psychological hints to let him strengthen Qi into my body."

"Given your status, why do you still have to go to great lengths to release commissions through intelligence agencies in the underground world? This is too unreasonable." Yuan Ye questioned, "You can just find someone to come directly."

"There are too many people who don't want to live in this world, that's all. But there are also many people who hope that I can still live in this world, so now no one has directly killed me, the old man's dog. Fate." Taketa Ito shook his head and said, "I am not the big man who calls the wind and rain as you imagine."

"But even those who want me to live only hope that I can hang my life temporarily so that they have time to adjust. In fact, they don't want me to continue living. Maybe only Aiko in this world wants me to continue living." But what they are more worried about is if I take another step forward, what should I do?" Taketa Ito was a little helpless, "So in fact, if there is a schedule in the hearts of those who want me to live, it must be marked on it. They have fixed the date of my death."

"Although the underground world is dirty and chaotic, it is unexpectedly hidden. For example, the chat software you use does not belong to anyone, but is maintained by a group of advanced AI, wandering in countless servers. Also It is for this reason that I made this move.”

Yuan Ye didn't continue to argue with Taketa Ito, and asked directly: "What should I do? What can I get?"

"Speaking so bluntly makes me, an old man, uncomfortable, but I heard that young people are like this recently, and there is nothing I can do about it." Taketa Ito said in a self-deprecating tone, "Then I will just say it straight. .”

"I need you to use Qi to strengthen me." Ito Taketa explained, "I will provide Qi. In addition, I will provide you with a set of breathing method information to help you reach the carbon-based limit."

"Aiko, bring a piece of spiritual jade." Ito Taketa ordered, and the beauty in kimono who had been standing behind him nodded as she said, and brought a piece of emerald green jade.

This is a square piece of jade with a side length of one centimeter. It is obviously cut from a large piece of jade by machinery. It is also marked with a number and identification code, which shows that this thing is not made by a small personal workshop. , but a large organization with a complete system.

"You come here once every half a month, and I will provide you with two pieces of Lingyu. You only need to be responsible for blessing the Qi in one piece to my body, and you can use the other piece to strengthen your body until you reach Until the carbon-based limit." Taketa Ito handed the Lingyu to Yuan Ye, "How about this, it's a fair deal."

Yuan Ye thought of what Ito Taketa said when he entrusted himself before, and couldn't help retorting: "It's because after reaching the carbon-based limit, I can no longer use Qi to strengthen you, right?"

"It's true. After you have Qi, simple psychological hints will have no effect. More complicated rituals and longer time are needed, so people may find out, so it's unnecessary." Ito Taketa laughed Trying to cover up the lie that he was exposed, "You are really smart, no wonder I entrusted so many people, but in the end, only your body can hold Qi before the carbon-based limit, and can transfer Qi to me."

"You still have to tell me, after exceeding the carbon-based limit and entering the extraordinary realm, what should I do next." Yuan Ye thought for a while, and made his own request, "And remember to give the agreed monetary reward."

"What an insatiable guy, but it's okay, that little money is nothing to me." Taketa Ito didn't care, and agreed directly, even a little eagerly.

"Aiko, go and get the memory card I prepared." Taketa Ito said, "After entering the extraordinary realm, I have already told you the next step. The method is very simple, as long as you have heard the previous stories It's easy to guess."

"However, I'd better give some hints." Taketa Ito said deliberately, "Before the establishment of modern science, to be precise, before the 40s, no one could still step into the superhuman realm. Keep moving forward, because even if the qi stored in the body can increase, the human mind can no longer control the qi of that magnitude, and everyone thinks this is the end of martial arts."

Yuan Ye thought about the major events of this era, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The 40s...was it a computer?"

"That's right." Taketa Ito nodded, "Before the advent of computers, no one thought that this structure could control and calculate everything so precisely, just like in the beginning, no one knew what the human body would look like after it reached the carbon-based limit. It’s like the structure can generate gas.”

"Therefore, the way to move forward in the extraordinary field is to transform your brain with qi to form a computer-like structure, so as to control the qi that cannot be controlled if the mind's cultivation continues to improve." Taketa Ito explained, "Of course , the premise is that your qi must grow so strong that your mind can't control it before you can carry out this step of transformation."

"In that case, wouldn't it be okay to directly implant a biological computer in the brain, or plug in an electronic brain?" Yuan Ye discovered the logical possibility, and took this opportunity to ask questions together.

"It's not impossible. After entering the second half of the 21st century, the maturity of bionic engineering has made this possible. The bureaucrats in Kasumigaseki like to use this method to make thugs." Taketa Ito's tone brought A trace of sarcasm, "However, no one wants to let their lives be in the hands of others, and eating an EMP will return to their original shape, and there may even be a risk of body explosion. Only those who are willing to be Xiaguan's dog, or the qualifications are really not good enough." Those who allow him to continue in the realm of the extraordinary will choose this path."

After listening to Taketa Ito's words, Yuan Ye nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I will take over this commission."

"Happy cooperation." Ito Taketa regained that kind smile that I don't know if it was faked, and stretched out his hand to shake Yuan Ye.

===Chapter 56 Heart and Rain===

After reaching the contract, Taketa Ito readily gave the piece of Lingyu to Yuan Ye, and immediately sent the rest of the money.

"Mr. Ito seems to be very happy. You won't be hiding anything from me, right?" Yuan Ye asked tentatively out of caution.

"How could it be? I'm not that kind of person." Taketa Ito was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "Are you worried that there will be some bad results if I give you psychological hints?"

"It won't be like that. As long as you have reached the carbon-based limit, you can completely regulate the secretion of hormones in your body. If you want to give yourself a psychological suggestion, you can suggest that you are now suggesting to yourself that I am strong, but you have reached the carbon-based limit. You can adjust it back immediately after the base limit." Taketa Ito explained, "The human soul still has to succumb to the gravity of reality, as long as the hormone is pulled enough, even if you win [-] million now, you will feel sad and don't want to live .”

"This is the way to continue to be strong after entering the extraordinary realm. You must continue to strengthen your spiritual cultivation. When you work at full power on the biological organs that secrete a certain hormone, you can still produce the opposite effect. idea, you can try to modify the brain."

This sounds very ambiguous. After entering the extraordinary realm, one's self is also strengthened with the strength of matter, but one still cannot understand the source of one's consciousness, especially the qi that appears after reaching the carbon-based limit, making this world idealistic. The boundary with materialism is wonderfully blurred.

This made Yuan Ye more and more curious about this world that had been developed for more than half a century compared to before he traveled through. He even thought that if he could really be admitted to Xindi University, maybe he would study a degree in brain science or cutting-edge science. A major is a good choice—anyway, Yingzhou Enterprises used this weird way of admissions before he crossed over. Companies with seniority ranks don’t care about the major counterparts at all, and only look at the school diploma for admission. His major does not affect his entry into a giant enterprise.

Although Yuan Ye may not want to enter a giant enterprise now, but there is no better way to go. For the current Yingzhou, the channel for rising class has been almost completely blocked.

Yuan Ye, who was also interested in the discussion, asked proactively: "Mr. Ito thinks that the source of human consciousness is not a complete objective person watching the Cartesian theater in the brain, but just a chemical machine?"

"I'm not very clear, that's what philosophers would think about, and I'm just a warrior." Taketa Ito said with emotion, "Now is not the era when philosophy guided the development of science. Philosophy is now just following science. It’s just behind the development of technology, even sociology.”

It seemed that it was hard to find someone who could chat with him about these topics. Taketa Ito said that he was not a philosopher, but he started to discuss with Yuan Ye.

"The completely free market has been swept into the trash bag, and the planned economy is still praying for the arrival of their all-knowing, all-powerful, and calculating economic Laplace's demon. Even the current mainstream cybernetic theory is still in the Wait for the development of more advanced monitoring technology and computer technology with stronger computing power."

"Human beings are no longer what they were when they first entered the 21st century. They are completely at a loss in the face of big data. For the public, it is a compliment to say that big data is a colander." Taketa Ito swept Yuanye With a glance, he said in a tone that seemed to be warning, "For example, if I check your records now, I can only find out that you bought a cup of coffee with another person, then left downtown Tokyo by bicycle, and headed to the city about [-] kilometers away from me. I took pictures of the scenery on a mountain outside, and prepared to go camping by the way.”

"The space-based monitoring network only has 24-hour complete monitoring in densely populated areas. For the wild, if there is no special arrangement, there are basically only very low-resolution pictures archived." introduced.

"I have been taught." Yuan Ye was a little confused about what Taketa Ito meant, but he still replied calmly, "Then when I come here next time, I won't need this cover?"

"No, this set of cover is very good and can be used completely. If someone mobilizes the sky eye to monitor the vicinity, I will tell you not to come here." Taketa Ito promised.

"I see." Yuan Ye nodded, "Then I will leave today, anyway, for me who has already been hinted once, I can't accept the hint again today to strengthen Qi for you."

Ito Taketa watched Yuan Ye leave, closed the door of the mansion with his own hands, returned to the sofa in the lobby and sat down.

"How about it, are you sending it off?" Aiko stretched out her hand, gently helping Taketa Ito hold her shoulder, "Finally you have the person you are looking for?"

"I live longer, so I can always wait for some good things." Taketa Ito closed his eyes and enjoyed Aiko's massage, "It's a pity that I still haven't lived enough, at least I can't leave before you."

Aiko smiled and said nothing more.

…………

Yuan Ye carried Hoshino Shiori on the night road, and on the distant railway, a white train sped past.

"You can actually talk about those profound philosophical contents with your client." Hoshino Shiori hugged Yuan Ye's waist and muttered, "It's amazing."

"Actually, it's just some very simple things. Neither of us are experts. We just conducted some discussions out of our own doubts." Yuan Ye explained, "It's not a big deal."

"Regardless of whether it's really just a superficial content or not, I don't understand anyway." Shiori Hoshino turned his head and looked at the lights in the distance, "It always feels like you've changed into a different person, what should I say?" Well, he's become even more handsome."

Hoshino Shiori didn't realize that he had called Yuan Ye handsome several times, but he still said it subconsciously.

"People's hearts will change, just like when you were a child, your thoughts are completely different from what you are now. There are even more extreme sayings that you think that you have already died yesterday, and you are a brand new you now." Yuan Ye naturally I can't say that I am a time traveler, I can only use some of my own experience to get away with it, but I still express my feelings after all, and it is not a lie.

"Yes, people will always change." Shiori Hoshino agreed, "Whether it is the heart of a person or the relationship between people, they will change with time. My son's thoughts, but now I don't understand why she is so impulsive."

"One day you will understand each other, after all, you are sisters." Yuan Ye replied, "As long as you want to understand each other with your sister, your heart will change accordingly, and the relationship between you and your sister will also change accordingly. What has changed will surely become as good as before.”

——Then, will the relationship between me and him change along with my heart?

When Hoshino Shiori buried her head on Yuan Ye's back, avoiding the cold wind that shaved her face like a knife, she suddenly came up with this idea.

Before Hoshino Shiori could give an answer in her heart, the coolness dripping on her forehead interrupted her thoughts.

--It's raining.

Yuan Ye took out the raincoats he had prepared earlier, and the two of them changed into them and continued on their way.

The gradually increasing rain quickly took away Hoshino Shiori's body temperature, and she couldn't help but continue to stick to Yuan Ye's generous back. The powerful heartbeat accompanied by the roar of the motorcycle made the heavy rain drown her body all thoughts.

===Chapter 57 Inari Angel in the Rain===

At the same time, Tomohiko Uesugi also encountered a sudden heavy rain, but he didn't need to wear a raincoat like Yuan Ye. After the first drop of rain fell, four or five of his subordinates pulled out umbrellas together. He covered it tightly.

However, his mood was far more nervous than Yuan Ye, who had gained a lot. Ruozhong of the Black Dragon Society was gathered and surrounded the building of the Black Dragon Society for defense. Everyone was wearing a black suit, as if they were going to a funeral .

But although they are not going to the funeral, they are going to welcome a pile of coffins.

"Is there no news from Sakata yet?" Tomohiko Uesugi said to his subordinates who came to report, "Forget it, let's ignore him for now. You don't have the time to care about him at this time. Just remember to follow up."

"Wakatou, the goods are coming soon." Utsumi, who was suddenly promoted to take over the assistant position of Yota Wakatou, came to Uesugi Tomohiko's side, bent down and said in a low voice, "There are still 500 meters."

"Are you ready?" Tomohiko Uesugi asked, "Did Yamamoto find anything?"

"There are brothers in the Ministry of Communications who have done a good job. The roads around here are closed, and every intersection is guarded by trustworthy brothers." Neihaihui reported, "I asked my brother to open the mansion where my brother lived. The car bomb went in, and he shouldn't be bothering with us now."

"That's good. The brothers in charge of this matter should be given enough pensions. If they have children, they should be sent to the private colleges we sponsored." Uesugi Tomohiko nodded in satisfaction and ordered.

"Leave it to me, I'll take care of it."

Uesugi Tomohiko is very satisfied with the efficiency of his current subordinate - at least much better than that guy Yota, he doesn't know if he was blinded by lard before, and chose Yang Tai, the idiot, as his own Assistant Ruotou.

"Get ready, the goods will be here soon." Tomohiko Uesugi told the people around him, and immediately someone used the anti-jamming transmitter deployed in advance to notify the Black Dragon Society gang gathered here.

The interference device on the high-rise building in the distance started to operate, all the surrounding cameras were hacked, and repeated images were played, and the anti-big data camouflage was also carried out at the same time. At this moment, this area disappeared from the information society. up.

"Although there is heavy rain now, don't relax, and hit two more anti-surveillance clouds." Uesugi Tomohiko listened to the report of his subordinates and made corresponding adjustments.

Immediately, people will carry out his orders, and the entire Black Dragon Society will order and prohibit them, just like a strictly disciplined army—or in other words, this is the true face of Yingzhou Jidao in 2077, occupying the ecological niche of maintaining grassroots law and order. Taoist mercenaries.

A black truck appeared at the end of the street, and the gang members of the Black Dragon Society raised their vigilance to the highest level.

On the roof of a high-rise building in the distance, the snipers who were in place in advance sent a letter to Uesugi Tomohiko with a laser signal to remind him of the safety around him. At the same time, the truck also drove in front of Uesugi Tomohiko.

"Open the door and unload the cargo." Uesugi Tomohiko ordered, and the Black Dragon Society members in black suits rushed up immediately, opened the rather heavy door of the carriage, and white mist gushed out, causing the surrounding temperature to drop considerably. Not many, the Black Dragon Society members who were in poor health couldn't help but shudder.

The helpers equipped with exoskeletons stepped forward, dragged out the coffins one after another with both hands, and directly lifted the coffins violently, revealing the goods in the coffins.

"There is no problem with the goods." After checking with the code reader in hand, the gang in charge of the inspection turned to Touhui to report, "There are all codes, it is the real thing."

Uesugi Tomohiko stepped forward and reached out to caress the power armor in the coffin. The cold metal shell provides a good touch and excellent bulletproof performance. The thickest part is even equivalent to an average steel plate of 1000 mm. Even with his full strength A single blow may not be able to penetrate this layer of protection.

These are all military-grade power armors that flowed from giant enterprises. There are thirteen pieces in total. They are his biggest weapons against Yamamoto. According to the information he has, that lunatic Yamamoto even got some weapons of mass destruction from special channels. This made him decide to strike first.

"Okay, unload the cargo and transport it to the armory of the headquarters." Tomohiko Uesugi greeted.

At this moment, the sniper on the tall building in the distance fired a new laser signal.

"Enemy attack, coming..." Tomohiko Uesugi's personal terminal read the signal and converted it into text, but before the sniper finished speaking, a white beam of light crossed the sky, directly hitting the building where the sniper was located. The roof was leveled.

Seeing this scene, Uesugi Tomohiko raised his head quickly, and a black figure quickly descended and came straight to him.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Uesugi Tomohiko's roar sounded in the channel of the Black Dragon Society.

At this time, it was obviously too late for the gang members of the Black Dragon Society to help drag the goods away, so Tomohiko Uesugi had to shake the goods away with his own breath, and greeted the attacker with a punch.

As the attacker approached, Tomohiko Uesugi finally saw the real body of the attacker—a mysterious man wearing a fox mask.

The assailant was dressed in black, as if shrouded in optical camouflage, but a closer look showed that this was only because the clothes the assailant wore barely reflected any light.

When Tomohiko Uesugi discovered this fact, the attacker drew his sword.

Uesugi Tomohiko's body shield was instantly shattered by the attacker's slash, and half of his arm was directly cut off by the sword. Uesugi Tomohiko instantly understood that he and the attacker were not at the same level of opponent at all.

—Is my life going to end here?

Desperate thoughts emerged in Tomohiko Uesugi's heart. Just when he couldn't even control his own qi and began to flow out of his body, the assailant ignored him at all. Seeing that he didn't resist, he stopped attacking him.

The attacker who cut off half of Uesugi Tomohiko's arm fell to the ground and made a small hole in the asphalt road, but this did not affect the attacker's actions at all. The attacker seemed to have lost interest in Uesugi Tomohiko, who was already half disabled. , rushing directly towards the coffin equipped with power armor.

On the road, there are black dragons who are not afraid of death to help people come up to stop the attackers. They are all dead soldiers, people who have no qualifications but have crossed the 50.00% transformation limit, and can only rely on the sky-high price of psychotropic drugs provided by the black dragon. , They are supported by the Black Dragon Society, and naturally they will die for the Black Dragon Society. The complete prosthetic body has brought them great power. When the output restriction is lifted, a full punch can even be compared to the main gun of a tank in World War II.

But all of this is as fragile as paper in front of the attacker. The attacker wearing a fox mask tossed and turned among the pounced dead soldiers, like a living fox, but the fox's claws were exceptionally sharp. , every strike of the attacker can cut the prosthetic body of a dead soldier in half.

"Inari God, it is Inari God's envoy to punish us!" Among the dead men who were cut in half, those with relevant beliefs had been deprived of their minds by this crushing crushing, and began to believe in themselves. The gods for help.
