Tokyo Juggernaut 2077

…………

Yuan Ye came out of the lover's hotel and straightened his collar.

It’s really weird to wear school uniforms to deal with these gray areas, so changing clothes is still very necessary. It’s cheap, has a bathroom, and protects privacy as its creed, so it’s a love hotel that’s unmanned and doesn’t have any cameras installed. Obviously a very good choice - especially when the hotel is in his name so it doesn't cost money.

This is already the fringe of the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the lack of official power has caused the order here to be out of order. Even because it does not belong to any large-scale yakuza society that has a name in the Edo Federation, it has even changed to a place where the yakuza is the leader. The dominant heterogeneous order has no chance.

The social environment composed of small gangs spontaneously formed by various foreign Tokyo workers and the original violent local autonomous groups, coupled with the buildings and infrastructure that have been in disrepair for a long time, make this area similar to 2077 except for the advanced network facilities. Chaos is a perfect word to describe the gray area where the modern world of [-] is almost uncoupled.

If it is closer to the core area of ​​Tokyo, then there will be a strong official force to smash all spontaneous organizations and restore them to simple natural persons to form an atomized society. No matter how bad it is, there will be a polar way to make up for the absence to maintain a strange but basic order. , if it is further away, the power of post-modernity fades away, and spontaneous groups of communities spring up along with Yingzhou’s consistent self-government tradition, according to the ancient but proven template of modern or pre-modern, based on blood relationship or surname Build society out of bonds.

In any case, a certain degree of order will always be maintained.

But in the right location on the fringe of Tokyo, chaos has become synonymous with the environment. People in the core area of ​​the Tokyo metropolitan area have a superior attitude and use the noun such as "fringe area" to define this area. .

However, this environment really facilitates what Yuan Ye has to do.

According to the markings on the electronic map, he turned around among the crowded and old buildings, and after cutting off the mechanical prosthetic hands of the two pickpockets with the sharp edge that wanted to cut his own pocket, Yuan Ye came to his destination.

===Chapter 220 Nine Teaching===

Yagyu Sakura looked boredly at the doll-like girl who was writing furiously on the virtual screen, and unconsciously began to lose her mind—anyway, her so-called "teacher" was dispensable.

"Pfft." For some reason, Liu Shengying suddenly laughed.

"What's the matter?" The girl on the screen had already finished answering the question. Seeing Liu Shengying laughing, she quickly asked, "Did you remember something interesting?"

"It's really interesting." Yagyu Sakura came back to her senses and replied with a smile, "But it's a person, not a thing."

"Huh? Someone?" The girl on the screen showed a surprised expression, "It's hard to imagine who you are particularly interested in, Miss Ying?"

"Because he is indeed a very interesting person, and I feel very comfortable getting along with him." There was an obvious smile on the corner of Liu Shengying's mouth that she didn't realize, "It's not the feeling of being flattered, but something else, how should I say it?" Well... I don't quite understand either."

The girl on the screen stared wide-eyed, and when Liu Shengying was stared at, she was a little embarrassed and picked up the water glass to drink water, and suddenly said: "Boyfriend?"

Liu Shengying had seen through the opponent's trick long ago, swallowed the saliva smoothly, and then replied calmly: "No."

"The one you have a crush on?" The girl on the screen asked hurriedly, "Or the suitor?"

"No, I am not qualified to love others. I only have the right to be loved, which is exactly the opposite of yours." Yagyu Sakura put the water glass back on the coaster, and the fingers that got the temperature from the heat source in the glass reluctantly pulled away , "But I can be sure that he loves me very much now, it's just that he doesn't realize it."

"So sure?"

"Because I am an immortal witch, I cast the magic of love on him, making him fascinated by me from now on, and he doesn't think about food and drink." Liu Shengying waved her fingers and said quite proudly, "I am very powerful."

"If these words were said in the fifteenth century, there is still some credibility." The girl on the screen tapped twice on the white paper on the table, and the camera captured the appearance of this gesture that had been set long ago. According to the preset The program scanned the content on the white paper and digitized it, "but it's 2077 now, and this is all feudal superstition."

"Don't be so serious, you are quite similar to that guy in this respect." Yagyu Sakura put her fingers in front of her eyes and made scissors hands, "The so-called love magic is actually my incomparable femininity."

In the eyes of others, Yagyu Sakura has always been a quiet person. If someone who is not familiar with her sees this scene, she must be shocked, but the girl who knows her well knows that there is something hidden under Yagyu Sakura's quiet appearance. A jumping heart.

"You're imitating the actions in those funny variety shows again."

"It's necessary to collect materials. If I don't watch those popular programs, I will be eliminated by the times." Yagyu Sakura pretended to sigh, "This is the crux of the era of Internet serialization."

"But sister Ying, didn't you publish it in a physical way? It wasn't purely a serialization on the Internet, right?"

"Stop talking about it, my book is about to be cut."

"What's the matter? Did you get bad grades?"

"Not at all. The new book has just sold the best results in the series. It can be said that it is in the period of rising sales. It will definitely not be a matter of performance." Yagyu Sakura shook her head, "The editor said that my book The style of the book does not conform to the style that the publishing house will promote next, and I was ordered to finish it in the next volume."

"That's not good?"

"That's right, the story hasn't finished yet, and I don't want to change the style." Yagyu Sakura said helplessly, "Tomorrow is the year-end summary meeting. I just happen to meet the screenwriter in real life and have a good talk."

"I hope everything goes well." The girl on the screen clasped her hands together and prayed earnestly, "I'm done with the topic."

The girl stretched out her hand and pushed, the camera captured the preset gesture, and pushed the content on the white paper to Yagyu Sakura.

Yagyu Sakura casually glanced at the picture on the screen, and after confirming that the graphic of the string of characters at the end was roughly similar to what she remembered, she quickly replied: "Well, no problem."

"Did you really watch it?" The girl on the screen sighed helplessly, "I made it with so much hard work."

"It only took 3 minutes, and it was written while chatting. It can't be called 'hard work' anyway?" Liu Shengying began to tidy up the stationery on her desk. Because of some special requirements, she couldn't just use it when teaching. Fingertips or special writing rods are used to write text, and only these pens that need to draw ink from ink bottles, which are used by ultra-small enthusiasts in this era, can only be used to write, and then use electronic devices to scan and transmit .

"That's the fruit of my hard work."

"It's true, no matter what you say, it's wrong to disrespect other people's hard work." Liu Shengying stopped the movement of her hands, raised her head and carefully examined the process on one side of the white paper.

This is an exercise about manifolds, but it is also related to the girl's ability.

Yagyu Sakura was reading the formula, but suddenly found that she couldn't understand it.

- Are you using new math tools?Let me find it, the relevant knowledge should be in...

Yagyu Sakura used the memory, because the current state does not allow "to be remembered", the relevant knowledge that was sealed up was extracted from the storage, and was exchanged with a part of the memory she currently holds, which made her understand this document. The solution is calculated using new mathematical tools.

"Perfect." Liu Shengying reviewed it again and again, but still did not find any mistakes, "There are no mistakes at all, and you did a very good job, Chun."

"It's all Sister Ying, you taught me well." The girl on the screen smiled shyly.

"It has nothing to do with me, it's all the result of Sakura's own hard work." Yagyu Sakura shook her head and replied, "You should be more confident."

"With your aptitude, whether you let others transfer knowledge to you, or use the consciousness of cyberspace to accelerate, you can increase the knowledge you have mastered hundreds of times faster than now."

"It's just that the group of old people think that only the face-to-face teaching of knowledge is reliable and noble, which is worthy of you, and you should only accept this kind of education." Liu Shengying cursed with a little anger, "It's really old stuff."

"Don't say that." The girl on the screen showed a warm smile, "The elders all have their own ideas, which is nothing more than normal."

"Even so, your growth rate is astonishingly fast." Liu Shengying said helplessly, "I'm not so much a teacher, but actually a proctor for the weekend quiz."

"That's not it, Sister Ying also taught me a lot of useful knowledge."

"Like?"

"For example... this!" The girl on the screen stretched her fingers in front of her eyes and drew a pair of scissors, "This is my incomparable female power!"

"Pfft." Liu Shengying slapped the table with a smile, "You don't want to learn optics and these bad things! These Internet memes are not fun to learn."

"Is there anything wrong with this..."

"No, it's very good, very good." Yagyu Sakura straightened up and gave a thumbs up, "It's just too interesting, for me."

"It seems that the interesting people I met recently have changed from one to two." Yagyu Sakura wiped away tears from laughter, "It's time, that's all for today's class, good night."

"Good night, Sister Ying." The girl on the screen waved her hand and cut off the communication.

"There really is someone who Sister Ying finds interesting and comfortable to get along with." The girl leaned on the back of the chair indecently, staring at the wooden ceiling, "What kind of person would it be? ? I'm so curious,"

===Chapter 230 Information Provider===

The smell of rotting biomass, fermented excrement.

All kinds of tastes that are not good by any means are mixed together to form the taste of the fringe zone.

Most of the unified sewer system has long been damaged due to years of disrepair. The privately built drainage pipes hang down along the exterior walls of the apartment buildings with faded paint, and the dirty things discharged make the streets filthy.

Although Yuan Ye doesn't have a cleanliness obsession, he can be regarded as a clean person, but he doesn't feel much discomfort. Gein also spent his childhood in a similar environment. At that time, his biggest difficulty in going to school in the morning was to To avoid the accidental coincidence of a certain wake-up time with his school time, the uncle who always squatted on the side of the road brushing his teeth on time spit out mouthwash.

Of course, the solution to this problem was also very simple - he used this reason to sleep for 10 minutes more openly.

The truck transporting bottled water will pass by Yuanye. On the thickened steel plate of the carriage, the traces penetrated by the high-energy laser are abnormally obvious. The high temperature enough to melt the steel has not yet dissipated. The warm air is accompanied by the vehicle The movement brushed across his face, mixed with a somewhat unpleasant burnt smell.

The escort wearing a powered exoskeleton stood in the gap of the carriage, holding a scary large-caliber gun in his hand, and the yellow ammunition belt was randomly wrapped around the black body armor with the insert plate. It didn't look like he was carrying water. It's like transporting cash.

As if sensing Yuan Ye's gaze, the escort looked at him, and raised their guns in a demonstrative manner.

Although this level of firearms can no longer pose a fatal threat to Yuan Ye, the common sense produced by the long life of a non-extraordinary person is still fixed in his consciousness like a nail, making his spine feel a little chilly .

It is very strange to say that in the fringe area, water has been promoted to an alternative equivalent and has become a hard currency here.

This sounds quite like the setting of a post-apocalyptic novel, but the reason for this situation is extremely ridiculous-because of a bureaucrat's negligence, he forgot to include Water is on the list, that's all.

Because of this small mistake, water is not considered a charity item. Without the help of tax reduction or tax avoidance, water is crossed from the material list of both official and non-governmental organizations.

In this way, people in marginal areas can get food and clothing from aid organizations, medicines and daily necessities, and even new video games and game consoles can be obtained because of the Holy Mother's statement that "the poor also have entertainment needs". I can get it, but I can't get water alone.

And the people living in the fringe areas are mostly people who live only on relief. If there is something not in the relief, then they basically don't have the money to buy it. The tap water for daily life also has to pay here, and The suppliers adjusted the price of tap water to only [-]% lower than that of purified water as soon as they knew that water was not included in the list.

Although there is also collected rainwater and the like, the amount is too small.

In this way, water has become a precious thing here. Because of a small bureaucratic mistake, in 2077, the super-developed world created a region dominated by the setting of the post-apocalypse-it sounds ridiculous, But after calming down and thinking about it, I do feel a little shuddering.

But this has nothing to do with Yuan Ye, he doesn't have the ability to interfere with the enactment of the bill now, maybe he will in the future, but he doesn't have it now, so he can only make good use of it, for example, when he meets now in this case.

"A new face." The old man whose feet and spine were transformed into a prosthetic body appeared from the shadows with an earthen shotgun, and scanned Yuan Ye's face with a handheld scanner, "There is no login ID in the system... "

Before coming here, Yuan Ye specially put on makeup. Not only did he look like a different person to the naked eye, but the foundation on his face was also specially made, mixed with ingredients that could interfere with electronic equipment reading his facial features, although it can only be used for some extremely cheap people. It's enough to work with old electronic equipment, but fortunately this is a fringe area, and old and cheap electronic equipment is the mainstream.

Yuan Ye didn't say much, but kindly took out two bottles of purified water from his backpack and handed them to the old gatekeeper.

The old man took the water calmly and opened the door.

Yuan Ye walked through the gap and went upstairs quickly.

Most of the buildings in the fringe area are high-end apartments built by developers decades ago. It was originally planned to attract technical staff with a certain status in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but due to the impact of the declining birth rate, it became a bubble. After the great unemployment wave Let the current fringe area residents who were abandoned by both the countryside and the city occupy it, and take advantage of the absence of officials to carry out a large number of additions, gradually becoming the current appearance of tall buildings.

Yuan Ye came to the fifth floor, knocked on the anti-theft door of one of the rooms three times according to the frequency of three shorts and one long, and then stuck the bracelet on the position marked according to the picture sent to him, and passed the electronic authentication.

Inside the anti-theft door is a somewhat dilapidated wooden door. The metal part of the wooden door is covered with a layer of green copper, which looks crumbling, but Yuan Ye didn't want to touch this door, but waited quietly. with.

After a while, the door opened, revealing a familiar face: "The leader."

"It's you." Yuan Ye remembered, this is the member of the Black Dragon Society he saw outside the hospital last time helping to keep an eye on him, "I remember your name is..."

"I'm Takayama, Takayama Shinya." Takayama Shinya quickly replied, "It's not good if you continue to be outside, let's come in, leader."

Yuan Ye nodded and entered the room.

After entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is a heavy machine gun that has been set up. Obviously, if there is even one wrong step in the whole set of certification actions just now, it will not be Shinya Takayama who greets him, but a fiery gun. Metal Storm.

Yuan Ye looked around the room, the room is not big, only about a dozen square meters, the half near the window sill is occupied by electronic equipment, the quilt for sleeping is neatly rolled up and placed by the wall, because you can’t go out They can only eat convenience food, but all kinds of cans and packaging boxes are neatly stacked in the corner, which does not make the environment dirty, and there is no abnormal smell in the air.

"How's the situation?" Yuan Ye nodded, no matter what else, just from the initial impression, Gao Shan really gave people a very good impression.

"There are already brothers waiting on the opposite side." Gao Shanzhen also opened the curtain, showing the status of the building opposite, "The informant will arrive in 5 minutes."

"Let's just look at it like this?" Yuan Ye asked, "Won't it be discovered?"

"No, this glass has been processed and is one-way transparent." Gao Shanzhen also replied, "And we have a backup plan."

===Chapter 230 Changes===

"Backup plan, what is it?" Yuan Ye asked.

"It's this." Gao Shanzhen also lifted the dustproof cloth on the table, revealing an optical and electronic instrument, "The laser eavesdropping device, as long as it hits the opposite glass, you can hear the sound in the room."
