Night Hacker

   Chapter 140 Weeds and Lilies

  The blade of the katana sword and the sword glow of the electronic long sword pierced through the raindrops, collided violently, and the crisp sound of the bang was splashed.

   Elizabeth's arm was so shaken that she could barely hold the sword treasure, and Lorna Ludd's next slash swung again. If this tricky slash was real, her legs would be amputated.

   But Jianbao led her arm to launch a counterattack, bang bang bang, a sword was placed on the blade.

   That samurai sword is not a strange thing, even if it is well made, the blade is cracked in a few strokes.

The sword energy information that    Sword Treasure brought at the same time was also interfering with Lorna Lude, slowing down the opponent's speed. There are so many swords, if Lorna can't dodge in time, her left hand will be cut off by a sword.

   A face-to-face, sword-fighting, is already a dangerous situation, making the onlookers on the street raise their arms and shout.

   The security guards of Seth looked blank and could not disobey the order; Ayako and Xiaomei could only watch.

   "Okay, there are two brushes." Lorna jumped away and changed to holding a knife in her right hand, "That's for real."

   Over there, Gu He was holding the scabbard nervously, why hasn't Xingtong called Miss Caiyin out yet?

   However, what he was waiting for was Vivienne and Nimiao who came out quickly. The sisters came out to watch the fun. Xingtong and other children followed behind. Seeing that the excitement was not over, they immediately cheered.

   And Sakai Huaqing, who walked the slowest, came up and said solemnly:

   "He Sang, my mother said that we were the middlemen. We went out to fight outside Li Cai. It has nothing to do with us, and we don't get involved."

   "That's a big thing, a big thing..." Gu He was even more anxious, the scene in front of him could see blood at any time.

   At the same time, the samurai sword and the electronic sword fought for a few more rounds, and the collision sound was crisp but harsh.

   Elizabeth's slender figure is as light as a dance, with no offensive, just defensive; after Lorna changed her right hand to hold a knife, her offensive was like a hot curve with high waist and long legs.

  Even if there is Jianbao's automatic combat mode, even if she is in overdrive, Elizabeth is almost unable to resist.

   She had several instinctive fears, adrenaline surged, the opponent's strength was too great, and the speed was also fast.

It rained harder at night, making a rustling sound. Elizabeth stepped on the standing water on the road, her Martin boots almost slipped, and she suddenly felt a knife flash across. Although she dodged, a strand of red hair was stabbed away. .

  The broken red hair floats in the neon flashing rain.

   "This woman is beating you to the death. If you don't do this, you will definitely lose." Jian Bao said.

   Elizabeth can also feel it, and Lorna-Ludd is just consuming her, and has not yet made a real supernatural move. She didn't forget that her two programs, Retrospective and Redemption, were not combat programs.

   She doesn't have any advantage in a supernatural battle with a hunter.

  Lorna-Ludd was waiting for an opportunity to burst out the hunter's nerve blood threads.

The curved edge of the samurai sword slashed again, and Elizabeth gritted her teeth. It was no longer just defense. She naturally used a mix of Eastern and Western swordsmanship. Back and forth.

"Liz the redhead is angry!" On the side of the road, Jane acted as an interpreter, shouting to the people: "But street dogs are short of money, and there is never a shortage of anger, daughter of bone and blood, come on, that's it Now!"

  The crowds on the street became more and more crowded, running out of shops and pouring out from various bars and clubs.

   This kind of thing may not be seen a few times in a lifetime.

   Even if they are not in that kind of identity, two young, beautiful and good-looking beauties fighting is very beautiful.

   At this time, Lorna's attention was highly focused on dealing with the violent sword momentum, and she had to devote part of her energy to resist the intrusive information it radiated. She had already discovered that the opponent's biggest reliance was the strange electronic sword.

   That sword can also talk, a rich man's stuff.

  bang, bang, bang!

   Suddenly, with a bang, the samurai sword broke into two pieces, one piece flew out, and the other piece was still in Lorna's hand.

  The flying cut-off knife slammed into the crowd, causing people to exclaim, but fortunately there was Xiaomei, a former runner professional postman, who rushed to grab the cut-off knife.

   But the fierce force brought by the broken knife made Xiaomei also take a few steps back, and the blood in her palms gushed.

   On the other side, Elizabeth swung another sword, about to cut off Lorna Ludd's right hand to end the battle.

  Lorna jumped back abruptly, her pale green eyes paid attention to the left and right, and her long legs kicked a tin trash can on the street.

   Elizabeth continued to swing her sword, and the trash can was split in half.

   Immediately afterwards, Lorna grabbed a worn-out bicycle and threw it away, but Elizabeth still did not step back, and slashed the iron tube in the middle of the bicycle with her sword from top to bottom, splitting it in half.

   "Ah!" On the side of the road, Jane yelled in alarm, "That's my car!"

  People are shouting louder and louder, turning this street into a wrestling arena, and homeless people can watch the fight for free.

   The Bone and Blood Girl looks like she's going to die, the red-haired Liz is really strong...

   Gu He's heart was raised in his throat, and he didn't want either Lorna or Elizabeth to get hurt, let alone die.

   But if he was given a choice, he would prefer Elizabeth to have the upper hand, because from the impression, Lorna had no sense of proportion when she was crazy and could not hold back at any time, while Elizabeth was much calmer.

   "The red-haired Liz has zero street fighting experience." Vivian said at this time, "Completely ignore the influence of the environment, only pay attention to the surroundings, but not the top. When fighting hunters, first of all, be careful of traps."

  Vivian almost didn't say a word, and there was a shock there.

  Everyone saw that Lorna's exoskeleton prosthetic body on her right hand suddenly exploded into nerve blood threads all over the sky, but it didn't run towards Elizabeth, which would be interrupted by her swinging sword and cause damage.

  The blood thread is a rectangular neon sign rushing towards the sky above the street.

   That is the signboard "Uemura Ramen" of Uemura Ramen Shop, and it is flashing yellow, red and blue light towards the Misty Night Street.

   At the same time, Lorna threw a severing sword in her right hand, bang, the broken samurai sword pierced through the stand of the signboard.

   "Fuck you!" She screamed, her cowboy boots propped up on the ground, her body leaned forward violently, and the bundle of blood threads connected to her right hand pulled the crumbling neon sign down.

  A shadow fell along with the rain, covered with colorful glare, and Elizabeth felt tight.

   The neon sign was too big and collapsed too fast, covering the space where she was dodging, requiring an instant decision.

   Elizabeth suddenly swung up her long sword, and Jian Fengka picked up the neon sign. Now she has amazing arm strength, and Jian Bao bears most of the weight, and the neon sign can't be smashed down.

   But people exclaimed again, which reminded her that she had changed again, Lorna Ludd's sharp green eyes made the glare of the neon sign lose its color, and the cigarette was still puffing from her mouth.

  Those blood threads flew fast, with the residual heat of neon signs and the coldness of rain.

   Her arms could no longer hold, so Elizabeth had to dodge backwards, and at the same time she released the sword treasure with the signboard stuck in her hand, otherwise she would be pressed down by the "Uemura Ramen" signboard.

   She had just finished retreating when the neon sign finally smashed onto the road, and the bloodshot thread bound her.

   A large number of thin blood threads pierced through the scalp from between Elizabeth's red hair, forcibly connecting her cranial nerves.

  Hunter Occupational Department, Class J Program: Neural Invasion

   "The game begins." While Lorna said, she gave Elizabeth Sterling no chance to fight back or escape.

   As soon as the brain-to-brain contact is established, the Q-level program is immediately used: information turbulence

  Lorna let out a mad laugh, and a large amount of junk information that had been prepared poured out from the program database, through the neural network connected by these blood threads, rushing furiously at the speed of the six-speed gear.

  People saw that the red-haired Liz was entangled in blood threads and couldn't break free. Her beautiful face changed, her pale blue eyes widened, and blood threads appeared, as if they were also connected and invaded.

   "Miss Elizabeth." Ayako murmured, kneeling on the side of the street, "My fault."

   Too bad, Gu He's heart is burning with anxiety, even the blind can see it. It's over, Elizabeth has fallen into Lorna's hands.

   Even if the goose is in overdrive and Lorna is in six-speed, but both of them are advanced second-programmers, the difference in neurological talent is not enough to reverse this situation.

   Affected by Lorna's information turbulence, Elizabeth's brain will crash and her whole body will be paralyzed.

   This gave Lorna too much time to defeat her, and even cut off a little of her hands and feet.

   It's just that right now, that kind of ending is still good, I'm afraid Lorna will get on the head...

   "He Sang, don't." Sakai Huaqing held back Gu He, who wanted to go out to fight, "Mom said just follow the street rules and don't make things more complicated, it's not good for anyone."

   The security guards of Seth can only watch, whether it is Miss Sterling's authority or the definition above, she has to go.

   "Ah..." Elizabeth was making a muffled cry, and countless messy and bizarre messages rushed into her mind, which was damaging her personality integrity, causing her mental confusion, and the muscles and nerves all over her body began to beat wildly.

   At the moment Jianbao let go, she seemed to have lost all her fighting power.

   becomes a pampered eldest lady, if no one lets her, she can only be finished.

   But, how is it possible, the red-haired Liz is a hero...

   The night rain is still falling, and the battle is not over yet!

  Under the bombardment of that information turbulence, Elizabeth still noticed a little gap, Lorna-Ludd's personality data flow is there, and now it is brain-to-brain contact...

   This means that although it is not a common sense, her neural activity information can also impact the opponent in a backlash.

   Brain-to-brain contact, never a one-way transmission network.

  Hero Occupation Department, J-level program: Retrospect

  Hero Occupation Department, Q-level program: Redemption

  Lorna-Ludd, let's all dance in the images of the past!

   The two programs started suddenly, and Elizabeth felt that everything on the surrounding streets was disappearing, including the junk information and the pain in her own cranial nerves, all being drowned out by another wave of new information.

   Retrospective, this is a program to check the past residual image information of a certain space.

   But with redemption, there is a combined effect, she can see more and feel more expansive.

   "Fuck, overdrive..." Lorna's mind froze for a moment, and a burst of information came back through the gap in the blood thread. The speed was so fast that she couldn't stop the sixth gear. This Miss Seth is an overdrive.

  But, what kind of wild way is this...

   Elizabeth entered the retrospective state first, and in the flood of information, she became another person.

  【It was raining at night, she was walking on the streets of Kabukicho by herself, her name is Lorna Lude, and today is her 18th birthday.

  She never thought she would live to be 18, probably no one would. She wanted to forget her birthday, but the already vague memories mixed with her imagination kept reminding her.

   When she was a child, her parents and some aunts took her to the amusement park in the center of the Bone and Blood District to celebrate her birthday with laughter.

At this time, she looked at the flashing neon signs all over the street, at the dark night sky with no stars and rain, leaning against the roadside wall, smoking a cigarette, not knowing if it was smoked, her eyes sometimes became hot , sometimes moist.

   Those who grow up like weeds know best how to let everything go with the wind.

  I want to end all this, end those dreams and sufferings.

   I want to change my name and live for myself. But if even I don't miss those people, they're really dead.

  That's it... This night rain always makes me sad. 】

   "Ah!" Lorna let out a hoarse muffled cry, trying to break free, but was eventually carried away by a retrospective message.

  【The night rain was heavy, she wore a gorgeous and noble white evening dress, threw her high heels, and ran on the streets of the Acropolis mountainous area with tears in her eyes. She seemed to be alone, but knew that there were many security guards behind her.

   Her name is Elizabeth Sterling, she is 18 years old, and today is the annual coming-of-age ball on Acropolis Hill.

   She used to think it was a big day and that the coming-of-age dance was a big deal. But tonight, there was a fire in the walled area, and she suddenly realized her true nature.

   A little devil who seemed to grow up drinking the clear water of Lake Eden, but in fact he drank all blood.

   As any adult knows, the world is unfair, but it should never be so.

  This is a grotesquely divided and twisted world, a city with a mental illness. Here, beautiful things are too fragile and false, whether it is a beautiful appearance or a beautiful mind.

   That kind of beauty is a kind of rot.

   A rotting lily stinks more than a rotting weed.

  I don't want that, I want this to heal, I want to be a real hero.

  I'm going to give myself a chance to dance on the blade of the real world with the sound of night rain. 】

   Suddenly, the streets were changing and overlapping, and she saw a black-haired girl leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette, and the other party was also looking at her.

The black-haired one is Lorna Ludd, and from a certain day, she built a high wall to protect herself, but she built it too high, people outside the wall couldn't climb in, and she couldn't climb out inside the wall , only to die slowly.

  [Redemption, program level: Advanced 90%, ↑25%]

The redhead is Elizabeth Sterling. From one day, she decided to climb out of the high wall that surrounded her from birth. She tried her best to climb, but the high wall was always high, and she was always doubted outside the wall. The purpose of crawling out, both ends will make her fall to death at any time.

  [Information turbulence, program level: Advanced 96%, ↑20%]

   In this neural network, the red-haired Liz and the daughter of bone and blood, the two intertwined and saw each other.

   At this time, the black-haired girl waved to the red-haired girl and shouted: "Elizabeth, hello! Keep walking!"

   "Lorna, hello, hold on a little longer..." She murmured, but she gradually realized that she was about to disconnect each other's brain-to-brain connections.

   I'm not Elizabeth Sterling, I'm Lorna Ludd...

  With the disconnection of the connection, all the retrospective information dissipated abruptly, but the coldness of the night rain still hit his face.

  Two girls are standing on the corner of Shouhui Street, one is red leather jacket and black leather pants, the other is army green jacket and blue jeans, their bodies are shaking a little, and the surrounding spectators are shouting something.

  Lorna has already withdrawn all the blood threads of the right exoskeleton prosthesis, holding her breath, her green eyes are complicated.

   Elizabeth panted slightly, her blue eyes gradually returning to clarity, with a sense of determination.

  A neon sign separated them, but the distance between them was no longer as different as before.

   They looked at each other silently for a long time, without speaking or making another move. Until Lorna suddenly said, "That's it, we've drawn, and this **** is just pulled down."

   "Agreed." Elizabeth nodded immediately and said, "It's a draw, so be it."

   There was a sudden burst of doubtful exclamations around, people didn't know what was going on, it was weird enough for them to stop suddenly, why didn't they stop fighting?

   Regardless of Ayako, Xiaomei, or Vivienne, Miss Sakai, and others, they don't know much about it.

Great! Gu He suddenly exhaled a long breath, no matter the reason, no one was killed or injured.

   Over there, Lorna turned around and walked away, no one dared to stop her, she didn't even look at Ayako again.

   Elizabeth stepped forward and pulled out the sword treasure from the neon sign on the ground, and told Mr. Uemura, the owner of the Uemura ramen shop, that she would lose money later. Then, she turned and walked away, taking back the scabbard from the hand of the sportsman angel.

   Then, Elizabeth took Ayako, Xiaomei and other security personnel to the commercial vehicle of the Red Rain Investigation Team and left here.

  The rain is still falling, the neon signs on the streets are still flashing, and a street fight is over.

   After watching the lively people, they were still not satisfied, and gradually dispersed in the chatter of hip-hop. Even though there is no winner or loser in this street fight tonight, it is bound to spread throughout Kabukicho.

   On the other side, Jane silently supported the old bicycle that had been cut in two, ready to go to a repair shop to have it welded.

   And the direction Lorna walked was the fish pond in the alley, she wanted a drink.

  Mike, Fat Mi and Moriko went in to report the letter to Li Cai, while Gu He and others followed Lorna.

  Gu He, Vivian and Nimiao have different doubts, Sakai Huaqing has lingering fears, and Xingtong praised: "Sister Lorna, you were amazing just now, can I be like that when I grow up?"

   "Little devil, you will be more powerful than me." Lorna replied, you are in overdrive.

   She looked at Xingtong, and gave Gu He, who was dressed in a pretentious manner, a sideways glance, "Why are you crying and griefing? Things on the street can be solved violently, and those that cannot be solved violently are troubles. This grievance is over."

  No, Gu He really couldn't understand why he suddenly said, "Just now, you...?"

   "They are all prisoners of this city." Lorna said, and strode into the depths of the dark and dilapidated alley.

   She still seemed to feel that Elizabeth Sterling was looking through the car window, looking at the hazy glare of the street outside.
