The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 127 The Root of Evil

After the fire, Cemetery Street was surprisingly hot.

The whistling wind shaft on the top kept them from suffocating, but it didn't help the heat wave in the slightest.

The fire company had already been here, and the contract only included fire fighting, not aftermath. They drove away after putting out the fire, and didn't care about the follow-up situation here.

The children injured in the fire were lying on the street, and other children surrounded them in a daze, at a loss. From time to time, some children looked towards the hut next to the apartment, hoping that their teachers and principals would come to save them, but they dared not get close to it and burnt. ruins. Gang members and street wanderers held weapons and stood quietly nearby, waiting for an opportunity to take these children away. Fresh children can be exchanged for a lot of money.

"Follow me." Miying said to the rat sentry behind him.

"Humans are strong, but mice are afraid." It was a little nervous.

"I'll take care of you, what's your name?"

"Perry."

Miying jumped down from the pipe, and the information Xu Yang provided allowed her to know everything around her like the palm of her hand, her true form was like a shadow, no matter how difficult it was to track her whereabouts.

Rat Sentinel Perry hesitated for a moment, then quickly jumped down and landed beside Miying smoothly. The wood structure was scorching hot, and his feet were a little hot, making him change his feet from time to time.

"Who might have started the fire?" Miying searched in the building after the fire. The roof had been burned through, and she climbed down along a charred load-bearing wall.

"Black Flame Innovation knows that there are wizard spell books here." Xu Yang sent a message.

"Such a cruel act can only be done by Black Flame Revolution." Miying hates all evil, and Black Flame Revolution is the driving force behind the world's disintegration.

With such a conflagration, she added a new layer of resentment against the insane megacorporation. The evils of corporations are endless. If they are not punished, they will continue to do evil.

She hated that she didn't have enough strength to completely uproot the root of evil.

Miying shuttled back and forth among the scorching house wreckage, and transmitted the information captured by the field of vision to Xu Yang in real time. He then used the processor to check each frame of the picture and told Miying where the clues were.

Following Xu Yang's instructions, the efficiency of Miying increased greatly.

She ignored those specious and suspicious objects, and went straight to the lower floor. In a space similar to the living room, Miying saw that the kotatsu and TV had been burnt. There was a charred black female corpse lying on the ground, and a male corpse. In the middle of the door, he crawled, as if he wanted to get close to the female corpse, but he was burned to death on the way.

The two corpses were detonated and highly carbonized, and their vital organs lost their detection value. The rest of the furniture was turned into fly ash and nothing remained.

"Missed." Miying sent a message, "There is no survivor, and the spell book was not obtained."

"From the dead corner to the back of the street lamppost," Xu Yang used the data transmitted by Miying to scan the surrounding situation, "Connect the wires, there is a camera there, it should have captured some information."

From Perry's point of view, Miying is really neat.

She didn't say a word during the whole process, her movements were capable, and she acted extremely fast, without any hesitation in her movements! It seems to know where the target is without looking, which makes it very respectful. Perry hurriedly followed behind Miying, not wanting to be left behind.

Miying connected to the camera on the lamppost in the street, and used its own body as a signal transfer station, allowing Xu Yang to hack into the camera's memory. He scanned and analyzed the images captured by the camera at a very high speed.

Within 1 minute, he captured a mysterious figure who entered the tomb guard's home 4 hours ago. The man was wearing a large windbreaker and was tall. After the man in the windbreaker entered the house, more than an hour later, the building burst into flames.

It is suspicious that he could not be traced after that, and the camera did not capture the image of him leaving the building, as if he had evaporated out of thin air, or died in the fire.

But neither of these two outcomes is possible. He should have some means to leave the Gravekeeper's House without being traced.

In any case, this person is likely to be the perpetrator of the arson, perhaps an agent sent by the Blackfyre Revolution to plunder the important wizard heritage from the gravekeeper's home.

"Will it be someone from the Black Flame Revolution?" Miying asked.

"This suspicion cannot be ruled out." Xu Yang saved the relevant images of the suspicious person.

At this time, Xu Yang and A40 were at a small gas station on Route 90.

He leaned against the refueling machine, multitasking, chatting with the owner of the gas station about the new changes in the Route 90 community, and at the same time searching the huge underground network of Aizu City, intending to find information about the man in the windbreaker from the vast amount of Internet information. more information.

After paying the money, A40 took a pipe from the gas station and poured it into its mouth. The gasoline entered its combustion furnace and converted into energy, which doubled its vitality. I wish I could find a strong enemy to test it now.

"Where is the enemy?" A40 drank 1 liter of gasoline, full of courage.

"The militiamen have clues." Xu Yang asked A40 to contact the local militiamen.

It was eager to try, and left with the knife.

Since the ban on stamps, there are many stamp dealers in the neighborhood with a grudge, trying to get revenge on the Route 90 community, and the sharp knife of the A40 can teach them a lesson.

After cracking the monitoring system of the local security company, Xu Yang captured the reappearance of the man in the windbreaker in the camera group of the neighboring block. At this time, the tall man in the windbreaker was walking on the street, looking quite confident, and finally disappeared in a crowd. among the hotels.

The following content, because Miying is not close enough, Xu Yang can't check it.

"He entered a cheap hotel called 'Fenghaise'." Xu Yang passed the news to Miying, "But it was already an hour ago."

"We must find this murderer." Miying was very determined.

"The other party may have various methods," Xu Yang asked Mi Ying to be cautious, "Never rush in. Since the spell book can no longer be recovered, you can temporarily put this task aside and don't need to continue tracking."

Although she knew that Xu Yang was doing it for her own good, and she had no backup, Miying still wanted to go out and get the spell book back immediately.

Shadow justice, revenge must be avenged! Never do things halfway.

This vicious arsonist cannot be allowed to escape!

Ruthlessly hurting others and destroying their important emotions and property is something Miying cannot tolerate.

She looked up at the children who were homeless due to the burning of the school building. They were nervous and crying together on the street. Only a few older children could barely maintain order, but they were useless at all. I also wiped my tears with the young children. The orphans lost all support, had no family, no job, and could only die violently in the city in the end.

Maybe I can take on this responsibility myself! Miying couldn't help but start to analyze the possibility, gather these children together, cultivate their martial arts, and let them become a new generation of righteous heroes.

Suddenly, a black motorcycle drove over from the other end of the street, and a brunette wearing sunglasses stepped out of the car.

With pink bubble gum in her mouth and a gun in her right hand, she blew a big bubble at the children, stunning them for a moment.

"Who is that?" Miying waited and watched.

"No information can be scanned." Xu Yang only found a bunch of sophisticated implants to intercept unauthorized scans.

"The Blackfyre Revolutionary," Rat Sentinel Perry explained. "I often see her dealing with arms dealers."

Damn black fire! Miying only wants to completely wipe out the opponents who caused all these tragedies.

If it weren't for the Black Flame Innovation, who would have burned down the entire Aizu Castle Cemetery and killed the gravekeeper's family for profit? Seeking Shadow transformed her right arm into a sharp blade and entered the combat mode.

"Don't act rashly," Xu Yang said, "Everything should be modeled and run for two rounds to calculate the conclusion, what if you are hammered."

"She's coming, let's hide quickly." Perilla pulled Miying.

Miying raised the Gray Rat Sentinel with both hands above his head, then carried it and maneuvered quickly, and hid behind the ruins of building materials on the other side of the street. Perry felt like he was flying, it was amazing.

The brunette made a phone call to the Aizu Children's Social Care Center as she walked towards the burning ruins.

"...Yes, hundreds of screaming children." She explained to the other end of the phone, "Aizu City Cemetery, the cemetery elementary school caught fire. Come and pick them up, or they will be given to traffickers. Oh , register, my name is Liu Zhizi, the leader of the Black Flame Innovation Office."

Willow branch?

Xu Yang used this name to search for the status of Blackfire Innovation's local office. On the official page, it showed that she was a key employee of the office, a middle-level manager, and an ordinary person doing clerical work. She was usually active in Anjiu City. Rarely visit Aizu Castle.

Putting down the phone, Liu Zhizi angrily walked towards the burnt building, looked at the burnt building uneasily, and scratched his hair.

The progress of the Blackfyre innovation was set back again, which was also a heavy blow to her.

They have long wanted to invade the gravekeeper's house and search for the whereabouts of the wizard's spellbook. It's a pity that Mateo's side is really useless, and the use of dirty bombs has deteriorated the relationship between the two giant companies.

Since then, in order to prepare for the war, Black Fire Revolution has transferred a large number of combatants out of Anjiu City, and most of the remaining civilians are civilians. Liu Zhizi has no manpower to recover the spell books, and only the arms dealers still have some fighting power.

So the situation became like this, the building was burned down by unknown people, and the legacy of the wizard was obviously lost. Izumi Yamazaki is an honest and responsible person. There must be others who have also obtained the information of inheritance. It may be the mysterious force that captured Mateo before, or it may be the wizard faction itself.

In such a situation, she had no choice but to come to investigate in person. She didn't even have time to call the security guards. She was very hasty and didn't get any benefits. She also came after hearing the movement, otherwise she would not have the intention to visit this chaotic place.

In the end, Black Flame Innovation failed two of the three ancient relic recovery tasks in Aizu City, and only one succeeded. This is not good news, and this year's performance is considered unfinished.

Liu Zhizi let out a long sigh at the burnt building, bowed his head and walked towards his motorcycle, Aizu City is a dangerous place, and he has no security personnel with him now, it would be bad if he was targeted by gangsters, a dignified member of the Black Flame Revolution, If it was taken down by street wanderers, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

"We should kidnap her." Looking at Liu Zhizi's movements, Miying offered her own opinion, "Then let Blackfire Revolution spit out the ransom."

"How can they pay for this kind of person, but you decide for yourself." Xu Yang intends to exercise Miying's independent decision-making ability, and he can't always control her remotely.

"Yes." Miying made up her mind, she still wanted this outlier black fire innovation clerk to be taken away, as a bargaining chip with the black fire innovation, at least tortured for information.

Miying and A40 are synthetic humans loaded with third-generation AI, capable of learning and growing by themselves.

They have been tested to stand on their own.

Miying still has a long way to go if it wants to become the shadow of a cyber goblin that does everything well.
