Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 382 144. Melissa-Rory
As soon as Karl's helpless voice fell, Melissa Rory's body shook and flashed in the elongated shadow.

The activated Sian Westin gave her absolute speed.

But even at this speed, Carl could still keep up.

During the slow time, Carl stepped back speechlessly.

"Again, the Sian Westin with the Mantis Blade, and then a Krenchikov, a classic three-piece set among the classic cyberpsychopaths. Can you change it up a bit? I always encounter cyberpsychopaths like this, and I wonder if you guys are all made from the same template."

“Hiss—”

Just as Carl was pulling back, a sharp edge flashed where he was originally, and the walls on both sides of the narrow alley were torn into two long grooves by Melissa Rory's mantis knife.

'Cutting the rock wall is as easy as cutting tofu. The Higurashi Knife lives up to its reputation. Regardless of the side effects, the quality is indeed top-notch and it can be considered a conscientious product. Unfortunately, we cannot ignore the side effects.'

Compared to Melissa Rory's sense of urgency to attack again immediately after a missed strike, Carl's posture seemed particularly calm. Even when facing two mantis knives that could be fatal with just one hit, he was able to remain calm and even distracted himself by thinking about other things during the battle.

His relaxed attitude and the casual way he stepped back to avoid the blade made Melissa Rory, who was rushing forward, feel vaguely strange.

Cyberpsychopaths are just different from ordinary people and difficult to control in some aspects, which does not mean that they are fools in this state. In fact, because their bodies are completely controlled by instinct, they are more sensitive to danger than usual. Melissa Rory sensed the danger from this young man who slowly avoided her every attack and retreated calmly.

It was like sailing in the ocean and seeing the tip of an iceberg. Although the depth of the sea was not revealed, the huge sense of oppression still made Melissa Rory's body move instinctively.

This kind of operation is like the body sensing that the person in front of it is a powerful enemy, and if it does not act with all its strength, it may be eliminated at any time.

Feeling the mantis blade in front of him getting faster and faster, and the angle of attack becoming more and more tricky, Carl still just retreated.

He looked past Melissa Rory and at the wall behind her that had been hacked away so badly that it was almost unrecognizable. He had already made a judgment in his mind.

"The technique of using the mantis knife obviously has not been systematically trained, but there are not many problems with the angle and force of the attack, and the direction of the blade is also the fastest way to kill the person. In other words, did he develop this skill through street killings?"

evaluate.

A lieutenant in the terrorist mobile squad should be able to successfully complete the suppression with some effort. Although he is not as strong as Andy, he should be able to improve after some training.

When this thought came to his mind, Carl felt a little funny.

He was more or less influenced by Mr. Kenichi Shiro, and his habits had picked up some of Kenichi Shiro's style. During the battle, he even had the leisure to evaluate the opponent's strength and skills. He was not a tester.

However, a cyber-psychopath with great abilities can't even kill time for himself now. What a pity. He originally wanted to practice more and exercise more.

Feeling little challenge or threat, Carl, who had lost the desire to continue observing, stretched out his hand.

A knife slid from his sleeve into his palm.

Neurotoxin knife.

One of the two knives Carl carries with him. When he first obtained the melee weapon template, Carl asked for this one.

A knife that can kill a person with just a slight scratch, if it hits the core of the human body such as the abdomen, it will knock the person down in about two to three seconds, even if the target is a strong man like the Animal Gang. Carl gently raised the knife in his hand, and the moment he gripped the handle tightly, Melissa Rory's body trembled involuntarily.

The sense of crisis she felt escalated dramatically compared to before. If the danger she faced before made her feel that she had to go all out, then now, facing Karl’s gesture of picking up the knife, her instinctive reaction and body’s intuition told her that she was now facing despair.

It was a warning from her body, a message from her instinct, telling her that she had no chance of winning against the opponent in front of her.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, Melissa Rory let out a low, warning growl from her throat. The animal consciousness completely enveloped her body, allowing her to find a trace of clarity in the midst of madness.

Her nerves were disordered, her consciousness was crazy, and her brain was blank, but she still couldn't avoid the physical reaction that made her take action.

Her body suddenly paused, and she forced herself to stop at the last moment before she could continue to approach Karl.

"Are you planning to stabilize your body before swinging your sword? Smart! This is much more rational than the previous rash and continuous attack."

Just as Carl was applauding Melissa Rory's reaction in his heart, he stopped retreating and saw Melissa Rory suddenly stop and her figure suddenly moved away.

"Ok?"

Carl blinked and found that Melissa Rory, who had been chasing him very closely and wanted to chop him with the knife, retreated backwards the moment he grasped the knife.

这 是
Because the incident happened too suddenly and the feeling was too different from the previous moment, Carl finally understood after blinking twice.

Do you want to run?

You were chasing me and trying to chop me to death one second, and then you quickly ran away the next second. Are you changing your face now?

Carl took a step forward, wanting to catch up, but his step seemed to trigger Melissa Rory's last emergency instinct. The moment she saw Carl chasing after her, Melissa Rory's legs had already begun to exert force on the ground.

"Oh!"

The sound of legs stomping on the ground and the sound of electricity exploding echoed in the narrow alley.

In Karl’s sight, Melissa Rory’s figure had already jumped up. How high was she jumping - five meters?
"Puch!"

Carl looked up and saw Melissa Rory inserting the mantis knife in her hand into the walls on both sides of the alley in mid-air and began her climb. In just a blink of an eye, she climbed onto the roofs of the houses on both sides of the alley with the help of jumping and the mantis knife and disappeared from Carl's sight.

The prosthetic part of her leg is an electric charge jump?

I didn't expect that she had installed an excellent prosthetic body that was made up of modified leg joints and enhanced advanced muscle dynamics, which allowed people to jump high and far.

but
"You came up to me and caused trouble, but when I wanted to take action, you ran away. It's not that easy."

Carl moved his ring finger, middle finger, and index finger slightly, slid the knife back into his sleeve, and then ran towards the wall.

It's just wall running, anyone can do it.
