The blade of the samurai sword and the sword light of the electronic sword cut through the raindrops, colliding violently, causing a loud splash with a clanging sound.
Elizabeth's arms were so shaken that she could hardly hold the sword, and Lorna Ludd swung her next sword again. If this tricky sword hit her hard, both of her legs would be amputated.
But Jianbao used her arm to launch a counterattack, and a sword struck the blade.
That samurai sword is not a rare item. Even if it is well made, the blade will crack after being chopped several times.
The sword energy information brought by Jian Bao at the same time was also interfering with Lorna Lude, slowing down the opponent. There were a few swords, and if Lorna could not avoid them, her left hand would have been cut off by one sword.
A face-to-face encounter and a sword fight were already full of dangers, causing onlookers on the street to raise their arms and shout.
All Seth security guards had dumb faces, unable to disobey the order; Ayako and Xiaomei could only watch.
"Okay, there are two brushes." Lorna jumped away and held a knife in her right hand, "Then it's serious."
Over there, Gu He was holding the scabbard nervously. Why hasn't Xingtong called Miss Caiyin out yet?
However, what he was waiting for next was Vivian and Nimue who ran out quickly. The two sisters came out to watch the fun. Star Child and several other children followed behind. Seeing that the fun was not over, they immediately became happy.
And Sakai Kao, who walked the slowest, came up and said solemnly:
"He Sang, mother said that we are the middlemen, and Licai is fighting outside. We have nothing to do with it, and we will not get involved."
"Then it's a big deal, it's a big deal..." Gu He became even more anxious, the scene in front of him was going to be bloody at any time.
At the same time, the katana and the electronic sword fought for several more rounds, and the collision sound was clear but harsh.
Elizabeth's slender figure was as light as a dance, not offensive, just defensive. After Lorna changed her right hand to hold the knife, her offensive was like the fiery curves of her high waist and long legs. Every knife was pressing forward, as if she was exchanging life for life.
Even with Jian Bao's automatic combat mode, and even if she was in overdrive, Elizabeth was almost unable to resist.
She had instinctive fear several times, adrenaline surged, and the opponent was too powerful and too fast.
The night rain was getting heavier, and there was a roaring sound. Elizabeth stepped on the stagnant water on the road, and her Martin boots almost slipped. Suddenly she felt a sword flash across her. Although she dodged it, a strand of red hair was stabbed away.
.
The broken red hair is floating in the neon rain.
"This woman is beating you to death. If you don't do this, you will definitely lose." Jianbao said.
Elizabeth could also feel it, and Lorna Ludd was only consuming her, and had not yet unleashed a truly extraordinary killing move. She also did not forget that her two programs, Retrospective and Redemption, were not combat programs.
If she fights an extraordinary battle with a hunter, she won't have any advantage.
Lorna Ludd is waiting for an opportunity to burst out and release the hunter's nervous blood thread.
The curved blade of the samurai sword struck again. Elizabeth gritted her teeth. She no longer just defended herself, but naturally used a mixture of Eastern and Western sword strikes. Bang bang bang, she beat Lorna Lude with one sword after another.
Backing away continuously.
"Red-haired Liz is angry!" On the roadside, Jane acted as a commentator and shouted to people: "But street dogs are short of money, but what they never lack is anger. Daughter of flesh and blood, come on, that's it.
Now!"
The crowds of spectators on the street became more and more crowded, rushing out of shops, bars and clubs.
You may never see this kind of thing happen in your lifetime.
Even if they are not of that status, the fight between two young, beautiful and well-figured beauties is still very exciting to watch.
At this time, Lorna's attention was highly focused on dealing with the violent sword force, and she also had to devote part of her energy to resist the intrusive information it emitted. She had already discovered that her opponent's biggest reliance was the strange electronic sword.
That sword can also talk, a rich man's thing.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, with a bang, the katana broke into two parts, one part flew out, and the other part was still in Lorna's hand.
The fragment of the knife that flew out shot toward the crowd, causing people to scream in exclamation as they couldn't escape. Fortunately, there was Xiaomei, a runner professional, who was the postman on the rooftop in front of him and rushed to catch the fragment of the knife.
But the fierce force brought by the broken knife made Xiao Mei take a few steps back, and blood poured out of her palms.
On the other side, Elizabeth swung her sword again, about to cut off Lorna Ludd's right hand and end the battle.
Lorna jumped back suddenly, looking around with her light green eyes, and kicked a metal trash can on the street with her long legs. The broken trash can flew away, and the garbage inside scattered on the street.
Elizabeth continued to swing her sword, and the trash can was split in half.
Immediately afterwards, Lorna grabbed a dilapidated bicycle and threw it away. Elizabeth still didn't take a step back and swung her sword to chop the iron pipe in the middle of the bicycle frame from top to bottom, splitting it in half.
"Ah!" Jane shouted in panic on the side of the road, "That's my car!"
People's shouts were getting louder and louder, turning the street into a wrestling ring, and homeless people could watch the fight for free.
The girl of flesh and blood looks like she is going to die, the red-haired Liz is really strong...
Gu He's heart was in his throat when he saw it. He didn't want either Lorna or Elizabeth to be injured, let alone die.
But if he was given a choice, he would rather have Elizabeth have the advantage, because in terms of impression, Lorna has no sense of control when she goes crazy and can't hold back at any time, while Elizabeth is much calmer.
"Red-haired Liz has zero experience in street fighting." Vivian said at this time, "She completely ignored the influence of the environment and only paid attention to her surroundings but not above. When fighting a hunter, you must first be careful of traps."
Vivian had barely finished speaking when something unexpected happened over there.
Everyone saw that the exoskeleton prosthetic installed on Lorna's right hand suddenly exploded into nerve-blood threads all over the sky, but it did not rush towards Elizabeth, otherwise it would be broken by her sword and cause damage.
The blood-threaded thread is rushing towards a rectangular neon sign above the street.
That's the Uemura Ramen shop's signature "Uemura Ramen", flashing yellow, red and blue lights towards the hazy night street.
At the same time, Lorna threw a broken sword in her right hand. Bang bang, the broken samurai sword penetrated the frame of the sign.
"Fuck you!" she yelled, her cowboy boots supporting the ground, her body leaning forward and exerting force, and the bundle of blood thread connected to her right hand pulled the crumbling neon sign and collapsed.
A shadow fell with the rain, covering it with colorful glare, and Elizabeth's heart tightened.
The neon sign was too big and collapsed too quickly, covering the space for her to dodge, requiring an instant decision.
Elizabeth suddenly swung her sword up, and the sword edge caught the neon signboard. Her arm strength was indeed amazing now, and the sword bore most of the weight. The neon signboard was shaking and unable to be smashed down.
However, people screamed again, which reminded her that there was another change. Lorna Louder's sharp green eyes made the glare of the neon sign lose color, and the cigarette at her mouth was still blowing out smoke.
Those blood-threads flew quickly, carrying the residual heat of the neon signs and the coldness of the rain.
Her arms could no longer hold up, and Elizabeth had to dodge back. At the same time, she let go of the sword holding the sign, otherwise her whole body would be pinned down by the "Uemura Ramen" sign.
As soon as she finished retreating, the neon sign finally fell to the road, and the blood-thread tied her down.
A large number of sharp blood threads penetrated Elizabeth's scalp from between her red hair and forcibly connected her cranial nerves.
Hunter professional system, J-level program: Neural Invasion
"The game begins." Lorna said while giving Elizabeth Sterling no chance to fight back or escape.
As soon as brain-to-brain contact is established, the Q-level program is immediately used: information flow.
Lorna let out a maniacal laugh, and a large amount of junk information that had been prepared poured out from the program database, rushing at a six-speed speed through the neural network connected by these blood-threaded threads.
People saw the red-haired Liz being entangled in the blood-threads and unable to break free. Her beautiful face changed color, and her light blue eyes widened and became blood-threaded, as if they were also invaded by the connection.
"Miss Elizabeth." Ayako murmured, then fell to her knees on the street, "My fault."
Damn it, Gu He was so anxious that even a blind person could see it. It was over, Elizabeth fell into Lorna's hands.
Even if Goose is in overdrive and Lorna is in sixth gear, both of them are advanced second-programmers, so the gap in neurological talent is not enough to reverse the situation.
However, under the impact of Lorna's turbulent flow of information, Elizabeth's brain would freeze and her whole body would be paralyzed.
This gave Lorna too much time to defeat her and even cut off some of her limbs.
It’s just that for now, that ending is still good, but I’m afraid Lorna will take it...
"He Sang, don't." Sakai Huaqing grabbed Gu He who wanted to go out to start a fight. "Mom said just follow the rules of the street and don't make things more complicated. It won't be good for anyone."
Seth's security guards could only watch. Whether it was Miss Sterling's authority or the definition from above, she had to leave it to her.
"Ah..." Elizabeth was letting out a muffled scream. Countless confusing and strange messages were hitting her mind, which was causing her personality integrity to be damaged, her mind to be confused, and the muscles and nerves all over her body began to beat wildly.
The moment Jian Bao came out, she seemed to have lost all fighting power.
She has become a spoiled young lady. If no one lets her go, she will be doomed.
But, how is it possible, red-haired Liz is a hero...
The rain is still falling at night, and the battle is not over yet!
Under the bombardment of that turbulent flow of information, Elizabeth still noticed a gap. Lorna Ludd's personality data flow was there, and now there was brain-to-brain contact...
This means that although it is not empathy, her neural activity information can also have a backlash impact on the other party.
Brain-to-brain contact is never a one-way transmission network.
Lorna Ludd, let us all dance in the images of the past!
The two programs were suddenly activated, and Elizabeth instantly felt that all the scenes on the streets around her were fading away, including the junk messages and the pain in her own brain nerves, all of which were drowned by another surge of new information.
Retrospective is originally a program for viewing the past residual image information of a certain space.
But paired with redemption, it has a combined effect. She can see more and feel broader.
"Fuck, overdrive..." Lorna's mind froze for a moment, and a stream of information penetrated the gap between the blood threads and came back. The speed was so fast that even she in sixth gear could not stop it. This Miss Seth was in overdrive.
.
But what kind of wild way is this?
Elizabeth entered the state of retrospection first, and she became a different person.
[It was raining at night, and she was walking alone on the streets of Kabukicho. Her name is Lorna Ludd, 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 memory that was already blurry and mixed with imagination kept reminding her.
When she was a child, her parents and some aunts and uncles took her to the amusement park in the city center of Guangxue District to celebrate her birthday, and they had lots of fun.
At this time, she looked at the flickering neon signs all over the street, looked at the dim, starless and raining night sky, leaned against the roadside wall, and smoked a cigarette. She didn't know if it was from the smoke, but her eyes sometimes became hot.
, sometimes moist.
People who grow up like weeds know best how to let everything go with the wind.
I want to end it all, end those dreams and suffering.
I want to change my name and live for myself. But if I don't miss those people, they will really die.
That's it...the rain at night always makes me sad.]
"Ah!" Lorna let out a hoarse scream and tried to break away, but was eventually led to the past by a trace of retroactive information.
[It was raining heavily at night. She wore a gorgeous and noble white evening dress, threw away her high heels, and ran on the streets of the Acropolis mountainous area. She seemed to be alone, but she knew that there were many security personnel following behind her.
Her name is Elizabeth Sterling, she is 18 years old, and today is the annual coming-of-age ball at Acropolis Hill.
She used to think that this was an important and grand day, and that the coming-of-age prom was a big deal. But tonight, the Walled City was on fire, and she suddenly realized her true nature.
A little devil who seemed to have grown up drinking the clear water of Lake Eden, but in fact all he drank was blood.
Any adult knows that the world is unfair, but it should never be so unfair.
This is a weird, divided and twisted world, a mentally ill city. Here, beautiful things are too fragile and false, whether it is a beautiful appearance or a beautiful heart.
That kind of beauty is a kind of decay.
Rotten lilies stink worse than rotten weeds.
I don't want that, I want this to heal.
I want to give myself a chance to dance on the blade of the real world with the sound of rain at night.】
Suddenly, the streets were twisting and overlapping, and she saw a black-haired girl smoking against the wall on the side of the street, who was also looking at her.
The black-haired one is Lorna Ludd. From a certain day, she built a high wall to protect herself, but she built it too high. People outside the wall could not climb in, and she inside the wall could not climb out.
, just slowly dying out.
[Redemption, program level: advanced 90%, ↑25%]
The red-haired one is Elizabeth Sterling. From one day on, she decided to climb out of the high wall that had surrounded her since she was born. She tried her best to climb, but the wall was always still high, and people outside the wall were always suspicious of her climb.
The purpose of coming out could make her fall to death at any time.
[Information turbulence, program level: advanced 96%, ↑20%]
In this neural network, red-haired Liz and the daughter of flesh and blood, two people intersect with each other and see each other.
At this time, the black-haired girl waved to the red-haired girl and shouted: "Hello, Elizabeth! Keep walking!"
"Hello Lorna, hold on a little longer..." She murmured, but she gradually realized that she was about to disconnect the brain-to-brain connection.
I'm not Elizabeth Sterling, I'm Lorna Lourd...
Suddenly, all the retrospective information suddenly disappeared, but the coldness of the night rain still hit his face.
They stood in the corner of Shouhui Street, one in a red leather jacket and black leather trousers, the other in a military green jacket and blue jeans. The spectators around them were shouting something excitedly.
Lorna took the initiative to disconnect the nerve connection and retracted all the blood threads of the prosthetic body, with a complicated expression in her green eyes.
Elizabeth stood there, panting slightly, her blue eyes gradually returning to clearness, with a sense of perseverance.
A neon sign separated them, but the distance between them was no longer as vast as before.
"That's it." Lorna said suddenly, "We're tied, and this is the end of the matter."
"Agreed." Elizabeth nodded and said, "It's a tie, so be it."
There was a sudden burst of confusion and exclamation around them. People didn’t know what was going on. Weren’t they just struggling with their nerves? Why didn’t they fight? Why was it a draw?
Neither Ayako nor Mei Fang nor Vivian nor Ms. Sakai understand them very well.
Great, Gu He immediately exhaled a long breath. No matter why, no one died or was hurt.
Over there, Lorna turned around and walked away, no one dared to stop her.
Elizabeth stepped forward and pulled out the sword from the neon sign on the ground, and promised Mr. Uemura, the owner of the Uemura ramen shop, that she would pay him back. Then, she turned around and walked up to take back the scabbard from the handsome angel.
Then, Elizabeth took Ayako, Xiaomei and other security personnel into the commercial vehicle of the Red Rain Investigation Team and left here.
The rain was still falling, the neon signs on the street were still flashing, and a street fight ended.
After watching the excitement, the people were still unsatisfied and gradually dispersed amid the muttering and chattering. Although there was no winner or loser in the street fight tonight, it was bound to spread throughout Kabukicho.
On the other side, Jane silently held the old bicycle that had been cut into two parts, preparing to find a repair shop to weld it together.
The direction Lorna walked towards was the fish pond in the alley, and she wanted to have a drink.
Mike, Feimi and Moriko went to Licai to report the news, while Gu He and others followed Lorna.
After several glances at He, Sister Vivian was puzzled, and Sakai Huaqing was still frightened. Star Child praised: "Sister Lorna, you were so awesome just now, can I be like that when I grow up?"
"Kid, you will be better than me." Lorna responded, you are in overdrive.
She looked at Xingtong, and then glanced at Gu He, who was dressed up pretentiously, "Why are you crying and sad? Street matters should be solved with violence if they can be solved with violence. Those that cannot be solved with violence are troubles. This grudge is settled."
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 towards the depths of the dark and dilapidated alleys.
She seemed to still feel that Elizabeth Sterling was looking through the car window at the misty glare on the street outside.
