Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 356 Gambler's Intuition

The heat from the city and the cold air from the sea convect, creating strong winds that carry foam and garbage into the air.

The sound of rain was blocked by the floor-to-ceiling windows. Ryuji Kiryu sat on a single sofa, his consciousness immersed in the spiritual realm. He was fighting with the uncrowned king of the boxing world of the century, [Kyushu Bukui] Angel Martinez.

The boxing fight conducted through the spiritual realm is almost the same as the offline fight. This is not the first time that Ryuji Kiryu has challenged Ang, but the pressure he feels from him this time is much less than the previous times.

"Long Zhi, you are not far from level 4."

Ang took a bottle of energy drink and handed it to Ryuji Kiryu, then sat down next to his old rival.

He was a burly man with a thick beard and coarse gray hair combed back. His exposed bionic skin was covered with the most advanced technological inventions of the era.

"Maybe, Ange, have you ever fought against a third-level warrior?"

Ryuji Kiryu reset the damaged prosthesis data, took a sip of the energy drink, then turned to ask Angel Martinez, the strongest level 4 warrior in reality, this question.

"I don't have a true level three warrior, but I have indeed smashed many flesh and blood creatures that have reached level three."

Angel Martinez was not surprised by the questions raised by Ryuji Kiryu, as he also watched those three Rikugo matches.

"Tell me?"

Ryuji Kiryu snapped his fingers, and the surrounding scenery changed, and in an instant it turned from a sci-fi boxing arena into a Mirror Lake Terrace.

The water surface was as smooth as a mirror, and the waves reflected the sunset. Ange slightly adjusted his posture and leaned back in his chair more comfortably. The lake breeze blew the sunshade and made a rustling sound. He grabbed a handful of spicy anchovies from the table beside him and continued to talk to Kiryu Ryuji slowly, "Lukwu Heavy Industry in the Northeast, Suf Energy in Siberia, and Kuanglan Security in North America have invested a lot of money in biological research and development departments. They have indeed produced some results in the past few decades. I was invited to participate in many of their internal strength tests and fought many battles with those biochemically modified experimental subjects."

"To be honest, biochemical transformation does have its merits. Not only does it not cause the trouble of levitating syndrome, but it can also have strength that is no less than that of a level three warrior. But those experimental subjects all have more or less fatal flaws. Either their lifespan is extremely short, at most they can live for three or two months; or their strength is not as good as expected, barely a step higher than the peak of a level two warrior; or their nerves cannot control their newly strengthened bodies, and they end up hurting themselves by wielding a sledgehammer."

Ange finished the snack in his hand, clapped his hands, and looked at Kiryu Ryuji: "Although these shortcomings are fatal, they can always be compensated by strengthening training and equipment potions. Their biggest problem is that they can't install brain machines and can't accept the injection of alchemy and martial arts. Everything depends on their own practice."

"The yield rate is too low, and the input-output ratio is not proportional."

Kiryu Ryuji followed the topic and responded.

"Yes, but those researchers don't seem to care about that. Instead of transforming ordinary people into outstanding warriors, they seem to only want to research and develop stronger and more durable flesh and blood bodies."

Ang was also puzzled. Although he was the strongest individual in reality and had the status of a god of war in the spiritual world, he was still confused by the strategic plans of these giant companies to invest huge amounts of money to support biological transformation.

The spiritual realm can already meet all the needs of mankind. Is it necessary for these giant companies to waste resources on backward biochemical transformation technology?

Ang thought it was unnecessary, but those who stood at the top of the world seemed to have already had the answer.

"From your perspective, is that Lu Wu an experimental subject?"

Ryuji Kiryu still can't forget Luwu's amazing attack that was so fast that time seemed to blur.

"It's hard to say, but it's highly likely that the group of spiritual beings who believe in physical fundamentalism will have stronger technology than [Emperor Jiang] [Zhu Long]. Since he calls himself Lu Wu, it is very likely that he is the latest experiment of Lu Wu Heavy Industry that integrates multiple cutting-edge technologies."

Ange shrugged, and a slow-motion image of the fist fight between Ryuji Kiryu and Riku appeared in front of him.

"I heard from you that he installed a brain machine?"

"Yes, and the security level is very high, higher than that of [Zhulong]."

Ryuji Kiryu recalled his communication with the Ushio brothers and was sure that these two people who suddenly appeared had brain-computer assistance.

"There are only a handful of companies that possess both cutting-edge biochemical transformation technology and cutting-edge brain-machine manufacturing technology. This Luwu is most likely their new experimental product. I just don't know what the data in other areas is."

Looking at Lu Wu, whose performance was almost perfect, Ang licked his lips and became very interested in his biochemical transformation technology.

It would be better to ask them to customize a flesh and blood shell for me. After staying in the mechanical body for a long time, it would be nice to change the taste occasionally.

As soon as this idea came up, the outspoken Ang put it into action.

"Do you have the contact information of those two people? I want to meet them and discuss business."

"Yes, when would you like to arrange a meeting with them?"

Ryuji Kiryu pulled out the address book and pointed his finger at the Luwu avatar representing Qin Huai.

"The sooner the better."

On the terrace, a stunning lady in long sleeves brought a red silk tray and placed a crystal bottle of champagne on the table. After responding casually, Angel used two fingers to pull out the sticky cork with a little force.

He poured the wine into the transparent flute cup at hand and pushed it towards Ryuji Kiryu who was making contact.

[The user you are calling is out of service area]

[The user you are calling is out of service area]

"Ah? Not in the service area?"

Kiryu Ryuji looked very surprised, this reminder sound was too old, so old that except for old antiques like him who were left over from the last century, people in the new era had never had the chance to hear it.

Ever since wireless networks covered the entire Earth-Moon system more than a hundred years ago, there is no such thing as "out of service area" in this world. Even if electromagnetic pulses interfere with communications, hacker technology cuts off channels, and lawless places are out of control, the prompt tone that is fed back by these accidents should be [The user you are calling is temporarily unavailable], rather than the current [The user you are calling is out of service area].

Is there any place in the world that is not in the service area?

Ryuji Kiryu didn't know, so he looked at Ang Martinez, but Ang had the same expression. He was younger and except for some matters regarding status and authority, he didn't know more than Ryuji Kiryu.

At this moment, a communication signal requesting access to the spiritual space here suddenly lit up.

Singapore and Malaysia Port, Security Bureau.

"Security Bureau? Why are they looking for you?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a business matter?"

Ryuji Kiryu is very familiar with the Singapore-Malaysia-Port Security Bureau and immediately approved the visit application.

Beside the terrace, the figures of [Feather Robe Master] and Ambani emerged and saluted to Ang Martinet at the same time.

"Your Majesty the God of War (Lord Ange)"

"Well, you guys can talk about something."

Ange waved his hand, signaling the two to continue without worrying about his presence.

[Ryuji Kiryu, we now suspect that Luwu, who participated in the boxing match in Black Fist Valley on the night of January 1, is deeply connected with the intruder who launched the Coral Tower airstrike this morning. Please provide all the relevant surveillance information in the Tengqi Building immediately.]

"Coral Tower? Terrorist attack?" Ryuji Kiryu opened the shared channel of the spiritual realm, and his vision was immediately filled with all kinds of explosive headlines and on-site scenes.

“But isn’t that the [Shesha V4] of the Brahma Group?”

He pointed at the huge and eye-catching Four-Faced Buddha totem on the Skyfortress, and his tone was very strange.

"Could it be that Lu Wu is one of your people?"

"He is our prey. When [Shesha V4] was sent to hunt him down, he was hacked by an unknown force, and control was transferred and he disappeared."

Looking at Ange who also had a questioning expression, Ambani did not fool around and continued to explain very seriously: "The next time it appeared was when it suddenly landed in the ecological protection area on the top floor of the coral tower and launched a terrorist attack."

"Just because [Shesha V4] had an accident while capturing the company's prey and happened to appear in the Coral Tower, they are on the Security Bureau's suspect list?"

Ryuji Kiryu looked at the [Feather Robe User] with a forced smile, feeling that it was very far-fetched.

[According to the company law, in the face of major malicious incidents, the suspected entity, Brahma Group, does have the right to ask any citizen to cooperate with the Security Bureau's investigation]

The [Feathered Envoy]'s eyes flashed red as he invoked the final right of interpretation of the Company Law.

"Okay, these are all the identity information and facial data of Aniu and Ahu."

Seeing that the [Feather Robe Master] was determined in his words, Kiryu Ryuji no longer insisted on helping the Ushio and Tiger brothers, whom he had just met by chance, and turned around and handed over all the relevant information.

"The information is as thin as a sheet of white paper. It is undoubtedly a fake identity."

Ambani's eyes lit up, and in an instant he completed all the information queries using the Brahma Group's database.

[The Greater Bay Area Public Foster Home does have the identity files of the two and all the surveillance of their growth history, but strangely, they did not circulate any thought data in the spiritual realm and the dark web]

The [Feathered Envoy] who could temporarily mobilize [Li Lou]'s status could obviously find out more things, which were more secretive. Almost instantly, the four people present realized the problem.

In this era, people may not believe in gods or Buddhas, but they cannot avoid the spirit world and the dark web. Even the spiritualists who believe in the fundamentalism of the flesh and the marginalized people at the bottom of society have to use VR vision and other equipment to carry out the major activities necessary for survival through the spirit world and the attached wireless network.

Since Lu Wu was able to be promoted to a third-level warrior, he must have a [status] and have received exchanges of thought data. However, under the fifth-level authority of [Li Lou], no relevant neural data inflow source was found. This means that the identities of the Niu and Hu brothers are 99% likely to be one-time vests issued by a giant company for special tasks.

[Brahma, are you determined to continue the investigation? ]

[Feathered Envoy]'s logical chain made a judgment instantly and asked Ambani who was exchanging opinions with the board of directors of the Brahma Group.

"Of course, the company will never suffer any loss, no matter if the opponent is them or another giant. The next step is to start the investigation from here."

Ambani pointed at the words "Night City Club" and lightning flashed in his amber pupils.
-
Junction, Night City Club.

The gigolo club was not much quieter at noon than at night. Qin Huai and Chu Qing were sitting in the living room on the top floor. The orange light cast a warm glow on the bar.

Yangzi was mixing wine next to the wine rack, and the bar counter, which served as a makeshift dining table, was filled with various dishes cooked by Qin Huai himself.

Suddenly, Yoko's figure froze, and momentary noise appeared on the real-time surveillance screens she had set up at various locations on Guiliu Street.

Next, the pedestrians on the street seemed to be interested in spending money at the same time and moved towards the club intentionally or unintentionally.

"Fuck, it's been invaded."

Yangzi pulled the consciousness anchor, and a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the club: "Which bastard dared to destroy my business? Do you want to live?!"

"An enemy is here?"

Qin Huai swallowed the elbow in his mouth and asked curiously.

"It shouldn't be. Those idiots don't have such strong technology, and they are unwilling to spend money to block the surveillance."

Yangzi pressed the button, and the alloy armor on the ceiling of the living room was removed, revealing transparent tempered glass. The surveillance screen was out of control, so he could only use the relatively primitive electronic artificial eyes to observe.

"There are a lot of armed people, at least several hundred."

Chu Qing was slightly distracted and sensed the movements within a few kilometers around him, and projected the discovered images into the air.

The all-terrain spider robot, equipped with kinetic and electromagnetic weapons and filled with neuro-hypnotic gas in its capsule, sneaked into the intricate ventilation ducts and crawled towards the Night City Club from the darkness.

In the dark alleys of Guiliu Street, in the floating car with optical invisibility turned on, customers disguised themselves by replacing facial recognition data
These flawless scenes controlled by the Security Bureau were easily perceived by Chu Qing and presented in front of the three people.

"It's the security bureau again, with its noses sharper than dogs. Fuck it!"

Chu Qing had a deep resentment. It was obvious that his previous failures were closely related to the Security Bureau.

"When an enemy comes, we must fight him; when water comes, we must block it with earth. There is no perfect method in the world, so we must deal with it as it comes."

Qin Huai put down his chopsticks and looked at Yang Zi: "Now that the Security Bureau has come to our door, we should not confront them head-on. Do you have any way to escape?"

"Yes, but you have to make sure you can get me out."

"rest assured."

Although Yangzi didn't know what Qin Huai and the other man had done specifically, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. She could only curse in her heart and directly activated the consciousness anchor switch that she used to live as long as heaven and earth.

In the power supply room of the small building where the Night City Club is located, a large number of high-voltage generators began to charge and then discharged through synchronous switches. Huge flashes of light and thunderous explosions tore through the darkness.

boom!
All neon lights were dimmed, light tubes within a kilometer radius exploded one after another, holographic images disappeared, and powerful electromagnetic pulses indiscriminately attacked all circuits within the radiation range at this moment.

The swarm of drones with optical stealth turned on fell into the sky like birds with broken wings. Investigators who relied on brain-computer control to control their bodies were not spared. Sparks flashed in the eyes of each "pedestrian" and the system crashed.

In the Fei Lian hovercraft in the distance, Ambani and the [Feathered Envoy] sat opposite each other, their brains and computers rapidly transmitting messages and thoughts.

[Military-grade electromagnetic pulse attack breaks out at Night City club]

[They really have something fishy in their hearts! ]

[The group's anti-riot force has been dispatched, Lord Brahma has lowered his eyes, I am ready to receive His coming at any time]

[Li Lou also started to pay attention to this place]

Ambani was in high spirits, like a gambler who had won a royal flush in a life-and-death game.

And inside the Night City Club, only two people were still standing.

Qin Huai looked at Chu Qing who was carrying Yang Zi, and drew out the [Qiqi Umbrella].

Who says you have to have big cards to win?
It's not a bad idea to flip the table and walk away.
