Players Invade Cyberpunk

Shui Yue's voice was like the whisper of death, sounding in the main gunner's ear.

"Relax, it won't hurt soon, relax... it won't hurt at all..."

Shui Yue gently laid the gunner's body flat on the ground, and the terror in the gunner's eyes couldn't be erased. As for his mouth, Shui Yue had already dismantled his jaw.

He took out the data chip Placid gave him and inserted it into the back of the gunner's neck.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Placid's voice echoed in his mind.

"The signal is two hundred meters southwest on the slope, head in that direction, and remember not to be detected. If they become suspicious and disconnect the server's signal port, your mission will fail."

"Alright."

Though it was unpleasant hearing a former enemy giving orders to the players, Shui Yue had to oblige as it was part of their plan.

On the hacker team side, Placid was truly annoyed.

"These are your hackers? Are you serious?"

He looked at the diverse bunch of players, from the silent short figure under 1.4 meters tall to the dramatic youth striking poses in front of the mirror on the side, and had no doubt they belonged in a mental hospital.

"Um..."

Lucy, lying on the hacker chair, felt slightly embarrassed but still said,

"Yes, they are the hackers our company trained. Although... they're a bit special, there's no problem with their abilities."

Lucy was about to say more when the dramatic youth in front of the mirror burst into arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha, bow down, fear this—the power of Uchiha."

His artificial eyes kept changing forms under his control—one tomoe, three tomoes, Mangekyō... all the way to the Rinnegan.

Of course, these were merely programmed cosmetic lenses with no real significance, but it didn't stop "Second Pillar Who Gets Beat Every Day" from spending big money to have a prosthetic surgeon customize these flashy items.

In-game, he could ignore the dumbfounded stares from those around him and act all cool in front of the mirror, saying,

"These eyes... can see through darkness!"

Placid "...."

Lucy "...."

Placid was desperate; he wondered what nerve he and Michelle got wrong to trust such brain-squeezed lunatics.

These people, in a research center, would certainly be the subjects under study.

But given the situation now, there's no turning back. Rather than hoping the Night Wanderer would spare the workers hiding inside the mountain, it's better to personally take action.

Even if they fail, Placid was confident he and his hacker team could greatly impact Chaotic Blade Association's attack formation and find ways to break out with his compatriots, especially with Lucy, who defeated Brigitte, by their side—there shouldn't be a big problem.

After another ten minutes or so, news finally came from Shui Yue's side.

He pulled out the dagger from the operator's skull, wiped the brain matter off with the operator's clothes, and the entire carriage was turned into a slaughterhouse by the stealth players; limbs were scattered everywhere.

"Done, the signal receiver has been plugged in."

Lucy adjusted the signal and discovered that the network between both sides was established, then gave Placid an OK gesture.

"Alright, you all head in."

"What about you?"

Placid frowned.

In his view, Lucy was supposed to be the ace up their sleeve.

"I..." Lucy tapped the server beside her.

"I need to keep an eye on this, rest assured, if anything unexpected happens, I'll step in."

The hacker players gathered in the Stone Ridge Mountain town weren't here for manual labor; the entrance room to the old network had been set up here, they were here as 'test server players' experiencing the development of this instance.

Now with the old network machine room connected to Chaotic Blade Association's network, Lucy didn't want any accidents to happen, so she had to personally monitor it.

"...."

Seeing Lucy's confident demeanor, Placid couldn't say much, gave a look to the Voodoo Gang hackers, and then took the lead to access Cyberspace, with players following closely behind.

In Cyberspace, as each form emerged, Placid spoke,

"Listen, our task is to create as much disruption within Chaotic Blade Association's local network as possible, affecting their smart weapon functions and neural pathways. Don't overly focus on damage, killing a few won't change the battlefield."

Hackers could kill through the network, but their computing power was limited; fixating on a few kills was foolish behavior.

"Also, beware of Chaotic Blade Association's local network firewall. In large-scale linked local networks, those maintaining it—Chaotic Blade Association's hackers, along with Huang Ban's antivirus programs—won't be lacking..."

"Second Pillar" "I know, I know, why do you act like you're the boss? Skip the cutscene already, I want to cause a massacre."

He expressed the players' sentiments.

The game couldn't have skipped cutscenes or story, because skipping might skip life.

But sometimes, it felt overly verbose. Players just wanted to cause chaos!

"....."

Placid was too lazy to continue. In any case, it's not him who would die.

So he simply vanished with the Voodoo Gang hackers from the local network, leaving players to decide their direction.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Damn it! Stop bombing! Stop shooting! I'm wrong, okay?"

The Jing Luo machine gun team was no longer living up to its name; their heavy machine gun couldn't escape Chaotic Blade Association's bombardment, and temporary gunner New Dynasty Elegance was blown to pieces on the spot, leaving the remaining three to use rifles to shoot at Chaotic Blade Association that charged up.

But Chaotic Blade Association's firepower was too strong, purely overwhelming them.

Quickly, those from Chaotic Blade Association forced the surviving three into a dead corner, without a retreat.

The footsteps outside grew closer, and the shelter they hid behind was battered by bullets.

Curled up behind the shelter, Jing Luo cried with bliss, knowing their bullets were all spent.

"It's over, I'll lose my first blood... I was hoping to save my first for those Tiger Claw girls—to have them kick my head with heels...."

Jing Luo was furious and quickly shrank to the side "Damn, I didn't expect you to have such a fetish, freak, get away from me."

Jing Luo lamented: "Ah, I didn't expect our Rome hasn't yet been established but we're on the verge of recreating the fall of Constantinople."

Upon hearing this, the three couldn't help but feel sorrow.

"Croak!!!"

They cried out loud.

"My Rome!!!"

The sound was heart-wrenching, and even Chaotic Blade Association couldn't help but drop their guns, moved by such profound emotion, and began to dance feverishly.

"Let's learn to meow like cats, meow meow meow meow meow"
