Indescribable cyberpunk

Raindrops fell from the night sky, slapped on the neon sign, and slid along the outer edge of the flashing lights.

If there is too much rain, the entire neon sign will look hazy. The light will be spread out, and the whole street will seem to be enveloped in a halo.

The holographic projection played smoothly even in the rain. A beautiful model was walking back and forth on the second floor of a building holding something that looked like facial cleanser.

Pedestrians holding umbrellas held up umbrellas and stood a little close to each other, but few spoke to each other. They just went in and out of the shops on both sides of the street.

The rainwater on the ground gathered and dispersed into puddles. Occasionally, someone unlucky would step on it and curse.

Zhu Jue sat at a stall on the street, supporting his chin with one hand, watching the continuous raindrops sliding down the edge of the awning in front of him, and at the same time looking at the night view of the outer city.

It started to rain as soon as we left the central area of ​​Yecheng. I wanted to bear the rain and go home first, but it turned out that it was getting a bit strong just halfway through, so I had to find a place to take shelter on the roadside.

He turned to look at the sand scorpion stopped on the roadside. It was fully enclosed to prevent rainwater from entering the machine and causing damage.

Stab~

Next to me, there was the sound of meat being poured with oil and being grilled over high heat. The stall owner in the store did not have Zhu Jue's melancholy on his face. He had no choice but to have such a big customer suddenly come up and take half of the meat in the store without saying a word. All in stock.

Harvest!

"Boss, help me roast these two pieces of meat, but you have to wash them first."

Anyway, it was empty now. Zhu Jue took out two pieces of nightmare mutant meat from his backpack and gave it to the stall owner, asking him to grill it for him. He picked up a bunch of grilled tenderloin and ate it himself, and then gave it to the stall owner. The wind chime sticking out of the backpack was also torn into pieces.

Toot~

message notification.

Gu Ginkgo: "What are you doing now?"

Sitting next to the bed in the dormitory, the bed had been made clean, and clothes and shoes were stuffed into the suitcase by category.

Sleepless 123: "Eating barbecue is not on my rooftop. I was just doing errands outside and it started to rain on the way back. I had to find a place to take shelter first."

Gu Yinxing: "I'm going to move. The company conducted an internal selection for us, and I passed it, so I'm going to a training institution in the outer city. I have to change my dormitory. In order to stay in shape in the future, I probably won't be able to eat barbecue~"

Sleepless 123: "This is a good thing. If you can pass the selection, you must be capable. As a fan, I will continue to support you."

After all, there is no future for being an artist in a place like the old city. The consumption level of people living here will definitely not be comparable to that of people in the outer city or the main city.

"Your barbecue is ready."

Another large plate full of barbecue was placed in front of him. Looking at the two special pieces of meat that were placed separately, Zhu Jue held his mobile phone in one hand and replied to Gu Yinxing's message.

Her singing can help him regain his energy. Zhu Jue thanks her. For this girl who has helped him a lot, he still hopes that she will have a good future.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yinxing also asked about the video on Yuntu, but Zhu Jue prevaricates it, saying that there are similar people, and as a policeman, how could he film it? video.

The chat between the two did not last long. Gu Yinxing had to move, and soon the profile picture dimmed.

I felt somewhat empty in my heart, but it was just empty. The other party was going up, so there was no reason to feel sad.

Putting down the phone, he picked up the piece of meat roasted by the Nightmare mutant and put it into his mouth. The aroma was fragrant but the taste was still bland. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it whole.

According to previous experience, these meats should be able to enhance the abilities of certain parts of one's body. Zhu Jue waited while eating the barbecue.

About ten seconds later, his whole body felt vaguely warm, but this feeling did not last long. It was not like the meat of the human-faced rat before. After eating it, his legs felt numb like an electric shock. .

I clenched my fist, but I didn't feel any increase in strength. I stretched out my leg and kicked it twice, but I didn't feel anything strange either.

What's going on? Did you say it went bad overnight?

"Hey~ This shelf life is too short, wouldn't I have known that it was roasted alive by the campfire? Tsk, isn't it nonsense to roast and eat something that was just dug out of your brain? Forget it, just treat it as It’s about learning from mistakes and gaining wisdom.”

Using chopsticks to fiddle with the meat slices on the plate, a furry wind chime came out of the backpack placed on his legs, calling softly to him.

"Still want to eat?"

He tore a piece of tenderloin from the side and passed it over.

Ouch~

Turning his head to avoid the feeding, Feng Chime stretched his two front paws towards the table and fixed his gaze on the remaining piece of white meat on the tray.

"You want to eat this? No, how about you try this thing?"

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to achieve any effect, he simply used his fingernails to tear off a small strip and handed it to Feng Ling's mouth. The latter opened his mouth and swallowed it eagerly.

Ouch~ow~

With a hurried cry, the wind chime seemed to feel something after eating one, and it was even more impatient to get out of the backpack.

"It's so appetizing to you. Speaking of which, this kind of meat has never been given to other people or animals. Why don't you try it with a test subject next time? Okay, don't make trouble."

He tore off another small piece and fed it to the wind chime, but while it was eating, he turned his head and looked back.

There's someone behind you!

This message suddenly appeared in my mind, and someone was coming in from outside the awning holding an umbrella.

"Boss, please give me some kidneys."

The guest walked into the awning to close the umbrella, but Zhu Jue had already turned his head back.

Zhu Jue was sure that he had not heard the footsteps or the guests' voices before. The time he sensed was 3 seconds ago, when he was still a few meters away.

Why can I feel it?

Could the ability provided by the flesh of the Nightmare mutant be enhanced perception?

Thinking about it, it is indeed possible that this guy has no facial features, but he can come and go freely in the dark mountain forest. Either he has some organs on his body that Zhu Jue didn't notice, or he can sense the surrounding environment in other ways.

He tore the remaining mutant meat strips on the tray in half, threw half into his mouth, and fed the other half to the wind chime in the palm of his hand.

Chewing and swallowing, waiting for the heat to flow through his body again, Zhu Jue slowly closed his eyes.

At first it was just darkness, but soon some rough outlines began to appear in front of me: trays, tables, chairs, surrounding awnings, and grills.

Zhu Jue's sight was indeed blocked by his eyelids, but he could see everything within a certain range around him in another state.

To put it simply, Zhu Jue at this moment is like a human-shaped self-propelled induction device. As long as things are within a certain range around him, they will appear in his mind in the form of external lines and outlines.

At present, this range seems to be only about 5 meters, and the distance further away is pitch black.

Even so, Zhu Jue was still quite happy, at least the meat wasn't expired, right?

Don't worry about diarrhea.

Ouch~

The wind chime in the backpack probably realized that those delicious meat strips were gone, and his attention returned to the ordinary barbecue on the tray. Zhu Jue fed it while gnawing on it.

His eyes unconsciously turned to the rain next to him. After waiting here for almost half an hour, the rain still showed no sign of decreasing.

The temperature is constantly dropping, and the clouds in the sky are getting thicker. Amidst the sound of the charcoal fire at the barbecue stall beside him, Zhu Jue's thinking is constantly slowing down.

At a certain moment, the speed of the raindrops that formed a line in front of him seemed to start to slow down with Zhu Jue's thoughts. Wherever he looked, it seemed that everything was moving in slow motion according to its original trajectory.

His consciousness watched all these changes in a bystander state. Zhu Jue himself was aware of this situation, but he didn't know what was happening. He wanted to raise his hand and turn his head, but found that even his movements were ignored. slow.

In other words, his perception was amplified, causing disharmony between his mind and body.

beep! ! !

The message notification on the phone happened to sound at this moment, pulling Zhu Jue out of this state.

Taking a long breath of relief, Zhu Jue didn't know whether he should be happy or angry at this time. He glanced at the name on the screen, Wang Dong.

The other party sent him an address, saying that they had found a location for the B-level wanted criminal mentioned before, and asked him to help.

Zhu Jue wanted to reply that it was not convenient right now, but he clicked on the map and found that it was not far from him, roughly two blocks away.

He ate up the rest of the barbecue in the tray, then went to ride on the sand scorpion next to him.

When they arrived at the place, they saw Wang Dong standing under the eaves. Zhu Jue already had an extra raincoat on him that he had just bought at a roadside shop. Unfortunately, most of the clothes underneath were still wet.

"Sand Scorpion? That's okay. The speed at which you make money is quite impressive. I was a bit afraid to recognize you when you came here just now."

Wang Dong's own car is also a motorcycle, so Wang Dong also has some research on this aspect.

"Is there anyone here?"

Pointing to the residential building next to him.

"Not here. This type of wanted criminal is very sensitive to sound. Our cars are not ordinary motorcycles, especially your Sand Scorpion. Directly approaching him will definitely arouse his vigilance, so I chose to meet here. That person may be on the opposite side. .”

Pointing to the building in the distance, this is a building that is still under construction. The basic skeleton is already in place. It is also covered with a layer of mechanical shelves and some construction equipment. It is surrounded by a pile of various things. Construction materials construction site.

Under the shroud of rain and gloomy sky, it looks a bit gloomy and gloomy no matter how you look at it, which makes people unconsciously go in some bad directions.

"possible?"

Zhu Jue took off his helmet and put it in the trunk of Sand Scorpion, and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"There is no such thing as 100%. I just received the information. Someone found that someone similar to Mavala recently entered and exited the unfinished building over there. I can't rush in to check on my own. This is a special B-level wanted person. Guilty, I don’t have the confidence to take him down alone.”

As an investigator, Wang Dong is somewhat self-aware of his own strength. Most of the B-level wanted criminals are people with certain fighting skills. This Mavala is also said to be carrying a treasure. He can survive until now. It's impossible to say that you don't have much ability.

Dang~

While the two were chatting, a dull sound suddenly came from the upper floors of the construction site building over there. Wang Dong immediately took out a single-cylinder black telescope from the backpack placed at his feet and looked in the direction of the sound. past.

"Oops, someone arrived before us. Damn it, that informant even sold this information to someone else!"

In the continuously magnifying images in the telescope, on the 20th floor of the building in front, someone was wrapped in a brown sand pillar and rushed away from the mechanical shelf covered outside, hanging outside and struggling.

"Give me a look."

He took the telescope from Wang Dong and just pointed it at the lens when he happened to see that the man had been released and fell from the twenty-something floor.

It's a concrete field below. At this height, I'm afraid Meatloaf will be like him.

"What should we do now? The other party has discovered that his position has been exposed in advance, so he must be on guard! Good luck!"

Wang Dong put his hands on his waist and said with some distress. He originally planned to make a surprise arrest with the idea of ​​​​a sneak attack. Now that the other party has just killed someone and is in full momentum, it is not a good idea to go head-on.

Then he saw Zhu Jue carrying a brown wooden box, leaving his backpack where he was, and rushing out wearing a raincoat.

"Now that you're sure it's there, what are you waiting for?"

He looked back at Wang Dong who was still where he was and shouted.

You've come here and run away when you are discovered. Isn't this rain in vain?

This is not Zhu Jue’s style!

Wang Dong sighed, then took out the weapon from the trunk of his motorcycle and followed Zhu Jue's footsteps.

The two of them rushed all the way to the front of the building, and as expected they saw the "meat pie" lying on the ground.

Twisted limbs, flesh, blood and broken bones were mixed together, and only a rough prototype could be seen. It should have fallen face down.

"This man is a gangster with abilities."

Wang Dong has been an investigator for several years and has come into contact with people from all walks of life. Although the corpse in front of him is no longer human, the large colorful tattoos on his back are still there. Large tattoos of this level usually belong to gang members. Only then can I carve it.

There were also external physical signs that looked obviously different from those of ordinary people. The hands of the corpse had turned into claws of beasts, and there was still some hair on the body that had not faded away. This proved that he should have used an injection to transform into a beast before death.

"Any questions?"

Wiping the rain off his face, Zhu Jue didn't quite understand what Wang Dong meant.

"The fact that he will appear here proves that a certain gang in the Ebony District already knows Mawala's location. With their style, it won't take long for a large number of people to arrive."

Gangsters don't pay attention to fighting alone. As long as the target is confirmed, nine times out of ten, it will be a crowd tactic.

By then, they both knew it was the flooded side without even thinking about it.
