The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 244 Sacrifice

The poison master had enough patience, she didn't rush to investigate the so-called witch savior, but smiled lightly and put on the mask again.

"I will contact the other party." The poison master said.

"Did what happened today scare you?" Du Qianqian said in a joking tone, "I was almost bound to be kidnapped by the enemy."

"I'm very sorry." Poison Master bowed to Xu Yang and Du Qianqian, "Speaking of which, there is something in the Self-Helper Association that I want to show you, please follow me."

At this time, several large trucks with green fronts roared towards them. They thought they were new enemies, but later they saw a group of scavengers jumping down from them, wearing sanitation suits, holding riot sticks and pistols.

"That's..." Xu Yang looked out the window at the group of newcomers, "It doesn't seem like they are enemies."

"Well, the Scavengers Association has a good relationship with us." Poison Master glanced at it and understood, "Tiancheng Town is a suburb, and there is a big garbage mountain nearby, and the garbage in the city will be transported to the garbage mountain. People are willing to clean up this huge mess, the pile of garbage is getting higher and higher, and more and more people make a living from the garbage industry, and over time, a large-scale scavengers faction has been formed."

"Garbage that has accumulated over the years." Xu Yang felt troubled when he thought of this.

If you want to create a new world, you have to clean up the old mountains and rivers.

"Fortunately, we live in the city." Du Qianqian said.

"Go on." The poisoner walked through the factory.

A40 was still picking up trophies outside, did not participate in this small tour, the sun was getting dark, the voices were sparse, Xu Yang and Du Qianqian followed the poison master all the way.

They walked up a winding steel staircase, with rusty handrails and mottled marks on the beams and columns and wall panels. The entire old factory was completely aged from the walls to the ceiling. The sound was long, as if walking in the stomach of a solid monster.

The poisoner opened an orange safety door with a label on it. Inside was a long and narrow workshop with 8 wide square concrete columns on each side, just like the columns of the old classical hall, although it supports the hollow steel floor instead of the church The curved dome, but still conveys a solemn atmosphere.

At the end of the workshop is an old game console, surrounded by wires and garbage.

More debris was tied to this game console by iron wire and green wires, as if wild and growing vines and fungi entangled the wet tree stump, and if you were not careful, you would regard it as something else. The game console itself is completely rusted, and the game posters and stickers on the casing are all faded, covered by bright red rust, like a patient covered in scars.

"That's..." Xu Yang was in a daze.

In a haze, he felt a strong connection between himself and that broken game console.

"Let's get closer." The poison master walked forward.

They approached the old game console. There were candles at its feet, most of which had been burned out, leaving an ever-burning red candle burning faintly.

"It was also built by the people from the Scavengers Club," Poison Master said. "They worried that the garbage dump they lived in was too messy, so they temporarily put it here with us. It's very secluded here."

"It's more than quiet, it's like being haunted." Du Qianqian carefully looked around, "It's too quiet."

"Sometimes, a few people who often worship will talk about its philosophy to some of us." The poison master said, "You know, this place is prepared for a ghost."

Xu Yang didn't say a word.

"What ghost?" Du Qianqian asked.

"Cyber ​​ghost," Poison Master explained, "a life that lives in wires."

"What does it do?" Du Qianqian knew nothing about these things.

"A symbol of anti-corporateism emerged from the Aizu dungeon," Poison Master stood far away from the old game console with some awe, "the news about it is spreading secretly, and some people believe it It's an amending agreement. When corporatism reached its unhealthy 'peak,' it was born out of a tangle of wires, as if there were a self-correcting mechanism in the dark, and the unbridled expansion of corporatism brought its own damnation."

"It's weird, but it's also reasonable." Du Qianqian said, "I heard about it when I was working in a bar. It's the same as the urban legend, and it still has its shadow, punishing wicked people everywhere."

"You haven't seen Miying yet," Poison Master said, "After seeing her, many things become clearer. She wanders in the shadows of Anjiu City, carrying out justice everywhere, and she won't even be tracked by the Pure Land of the Century! How terrifying, she was able to walk openly and aboveboard under the surveillance of the Pure Land of the Century, apart from the cyber demons using their power to provide protection, what other answer can explain this kind of thing?"

"Do you also worship cyber ghosts?" Xu Yang looked at Poison Master.

"It's hard to say," Poison Master shook his head, "There is a process of cognition. Originally, I wanted to do something quite impulsive, and I had a dream of responding to everyone. Until just now, I broke out in a cold sweat and made a few mistakes and omissions. Can cause so much trouble! I can’t trust the software program in my own device, how can I contact like-minded people? In this case, maybe I really have to seek wisdom and power from the cyber demon, But I don’t know what kind of tribute it likes.”

"The company's alliance fought south and north, and almost defeated all the mysteries," Xu Yang said with emotion, "but once the company weakens, all the mysteries will come back."

"How should I put it?" Poison Master said, "I hope you will maintain some respect for the Cyber ​​Demon Ghost. Although I don't understand it, it must have nothing to do with the ancient mystics. The two have completely different forms of existence and conceptual values. .”

"Okay, let's not talk about it," Xu Yang observed the broken game console, "With this kind of thing, people's ideas can't be conveyed to it."

"Many people believe this is okay," the poisoner pointed to the sundries and candles tied to the game consoles, as if echoing each other in a mysterious form, "Some lovers of secret codes, who originally followed ancient mysteries, now turn to Follow the techno-mystery."

"Not necessarily," Xu Yang said, "I think it is more modern, and it will carry a subnet on the deep anonymous network to accommodate messages, and people can go there to create discussion threads and leave messages."

"How could you know what it wants to do." The poison master shook his head, "Sorry, although you showed a lot of novel things today, I don't think you can get the cyber ghost's approval."

A40 walked around in the association, but couldn't find anyone, and finally came to check the secret location. It opened the security door and strode in.

"Boss!" it said, "Miying just sent me a message, and she won't be back until 1 am tomorrow."

"We can't stay that late." Xu Yang looked at the time, it is now 4:30 pm, "Come, A40, follow us into the city."

"Yes!" A40 saluted Xu Yang.

When they returned to the bottom laboratory, the poison master gave Xu Yang 2 bottles of black poison as a gift, a total of 4 bottles of deadly poison. Just collecting it feels like a big risk. The poison made with magic power is unsolvable, and the technological means are not yet strong. To be able to fully analyze the operating principle of "magic power", let alone cure this weird poison.

"Scary." Du Qianqian observed the bottles of poison.

"It's okay. Although these poisons are very dangerous, as long as they are stored properly." The poison master said happily, "The production of poisons and the proper preservation of poisons are also two sides of the same coin. 'Poison Master'."

"I believe in your level. Then, say hello to Miying for us." Xu Yang said.

"Sure." Poison Master joked, "Ah, if Cyber ​​Ghost Shadow tells that lord about you, maybe it will reward you with a faster internet speed."

"I can't wait." Xu Yang bid farewell to the poison master, "Goodbye."

"Please go slowly." Poison Master bowed to them.

She led the self-rescue association to clean up the mess, dragged the damaged vehicles inside the factory wall, put the corpses in body bags, and sent them to the company's waste incineration power plant to exchange for money.

In the early hours of the morning, Miying returned to the self-rescue association with a black package.

She came to the basement where the wreckage was processed. The bathtub had already been cleaned. Miying put the package on the table and opened it. Inside was a human head.

Miying turned on the lights, ready to take pictures.

The poison master's room was next door, she was awakened by the light, turned over and walked to the basement.

"Who is this?" The poisoner looked at the head. A man's expression was stiff and astonished. He seemed to have died in an instant. The broken neck was melted and cut off by a high-energy laser.

"This is a counterfeit drug dealer," Miying said, "134 families were destroyed by him. The families of the dead and the sick gathered together, raised 670,000 yuan, and asked for revenge. Their will formed resentment, and resentment summoned The shadow of the cyber goblin."

"Someone came this afternoon." The poisoner said, "A mysterious man wearing a mask and a red raincoat, and a witch, they took A40 away."

"Oh." Miying took a photo of the severed head.

"Do you know him?"

"I am his shadow." Miying sent the photo to the employer, indicating that the mission of revenge has been completed.

The poison master froze.

"What?" She opened her mouth.

"A40 will only listen to a few people." Miying said.

The poison master retreated to the console, lowered his head, and it took him a long time to recover from the news.

"—It's amazing," the poison master took a deep breath, "I haven't even thought about such a thing, is it true? It turns out——he and the people around him are... amazing."

"I am his shadow, which means a lot." Seeker drew out the ion sword "Shadow Killer", and the high-energy ion beam emitted a faint blue light, "He sent me and A40 to this city, everything we did Everything was an extension of his will."

Poison Master picked up his phone, connected to the Deep Anonymous Network, and saw a new discussion thread pointing to the newly created message area of ​​Cyber ​​Demon.

She looked up, and could hear some faint movements through the floor. People in the secret room were still dancing and worshiping the old game console.

Poison Master shook her head, and she picked up the string of secret codes that Xu Yang left her.

"Then which savior will this string of codes lead me to?" She smiled helplessly, "It can't be a demon god or something."
