A heavy downpour is washing over Kabukicho, and the shop signs and neon lights on both sides of the street have become dim.
Lorna walked down the street and regarded the heavy rain as a blessing.
Only at times like this will the streets be empty, without the always noisy and crowded crowds.
The rain shook the messy wires and accumulated in puddles on the ground, breaking the false dream usually brought by the neon lights and restoring the shabby nature of the place.
A plastic awning is installed at the entrance of a food store, and a transparent plastic fence is installed below to protect the various fruits transported from the northern agricultural area laid out on the road from the rain. At this time, some pedestrians crowded there to take shelter from the rain.
.
The owner of the food store was keeping an eye on a few street children stealing things, and at the same time he was yelling at people to get out.
Lorna noticed that while the boss was scolding the children on one side, there was a smaller girl, only a few years old, quietly sneaking to the fruit bar on the other side, quickly grabbing some fruits and running away in the rain.
.
The children who were responsible for holding the boss back scolded the boss and were forced out by the boss.
Lorna couldn't help but smile, as some childhood memories came to mind.
For more than ten years, nothing has changed except that there is more garbage in the muddy pond.
That was after the failure of the Bone-Blood Operation, her father and other leaders of the Bone-Blood Sect were beheaded and hanged...
Soon, a nuclear leak occurred in the bone and blood area, and everyone could no longer live in it. They had to leave and die.
She had nowhere to go, and the flesh and blood people didn't want her to leave there. Once she left, there seemed to be an official end.
But she had to leave. The identity of "daughter of bone and blood" was too sensitive. Whether it was the New World Bank or the "bone and blood gang" formed by the remnants of the bone and blood sect, some people wanted her dead, and some wanted to control her.
She uses her.
Suddenly one day, Lorna Ludd disappeared, and several of her father's old subordinates who had escaped the disaster arranged for her to leave the bone and blood area.
But they couldn't protect themselves and couldn't take care of her.
For the next ten or eight years, Lorna became such a street child, wandering around Kabukicho, San Manga, Egaya and Castle Districts. She followed a group of friends and stole things everywhere.
They call themselves the "Mouse Gang".
In fact, for a period of time, although her life was very difficult, Lorna was quite happy...
Until later, the Mouse Gang was cleaned up by the Metropolitan Police. Some people escaped and joined the adults' gangs. Some were taken to orphanages and disappeared, while Lorna continued to wander the streets.
The sound of soft electronic music came from inside a store.
Lorna stopped on the street and looked at the rows of products through a floor-to-ceiling red display window.
The heavy rain made the neon lights dim, but the lights in the windows were soft and bright, and there seemed to be a layer of warmth through the glass.
On the rows of product columns in the display window, there are exquisite car models, stuffed bears, small robots, building block puzzles, etc. They are collectibles that both children and adults will love.
The rain hit her face, and Lorna looked slightly dazed.
She once wanted such a singing rag bear doll, but finally managed to steal it.
But after a while, she threw the bear into the trash can.
That's not something that belongs to her.
"Hey..." Lorna felt a little strangely excited at this time. Now that she had the money to buy something, she could buy the stuffed bear or the car model... However, her left hand was stroking the one that was attached to her body.
Alien right hand.
Buy a small robot and give it to that guy Gu He as another gift...
That guy was very strange. He said that he was an orphan and grew up in a voodoo ruins.
But she wasn't someone who grew up on the streets. Lorna could tell at a glance that she couldn't fake it. Gu He didn't have the dirty energy of a street kid, and the street kids didn't have the kindness of him.
No wonder Lao Fan doesn't like him. Older people only like familiar things.
But she, she's not that old yet.
After two days, Lorna wanted to talk to Gu He again, maybe to get some courage from him... to go back to the bone and blood area. It had been more than ten years since she left there.
Click, a steady sound of footsteps sounded at the corner of the street, which immediately attracted Lorna's vigilant attention.
Under such heavy rain, few people can maintain such stability, unless they are... extraordinary people.
Lorna turned around and looked around. The heavy rain made everything hazy, and the puddles on the road were stepped on and splashed with water.
It was a young woman, petite in stature, only about 1.5 meters tall, with short black hair, dressed in plain black clothes, with no other decorations, and a faint gentle smile on her face, like an ordinary passerby that people cannot remember.
.
But Lorna saw the falsehood at a glance, and felt the dangerous breath coming from the rain.
This kind of person, this kind of person grew up on the streets, is numb and cruel.
The woman stopped, and they were about ten steps apart.
"Lorna Ludd, someone pay me to behead you."
"Oh." Lorna suddenly laughed, "I'll give you double the money, so you can go back and cut off that guy's head."
Why is she not surprised at all by this kind of thing?
It's like one of the nerves has been broken for a long time, and there is only one reaction left for everything: Come on, let me see what happens this time.
"You can't afford that kind of price." The woman in black said, pulling out a curved red-handled samurai sword from her back. The rain hit the blade, revealing its cold light, "I have no ill intentions towards you, but your
One head can be exchanged for a house in Jianggu District."
"Is it just that little? I thought that no matter what, it was still a beachside villa in the harbor area..."
Lorna narrowed her eyes, and her alien right hand slowly clenched into a fist.
She had no doubt that the samurai sword could cut off her head with one blow.
It looks like... he's a guy from the Assassin profession?
The hunter type and the assassin type may sound similar, but they are actually two professional types with completely different abilities.
The origins are also different. The hunter type belongs to the eleventh house, while the assassin type belongs to the ninth house. They are both so-called future masters.
"I'm sorry." The woman in black held a samurai sword and bowed deeply, "My name is Ayako, please give me your advice."
"Fuck you." Lorna rushed forward against the rain, closing the distance between them.
That woman might really be an assassin, or she might already be a second-programmer. Her strength and muscle are completely different from those of the heresy in the rags, and she is even more difficult to deal with than the rudimentary species that has not yet matured.
The distance just now made Lorna not confident that she could entangle the opponent as soon as she released her nerve bundle.
On the contrary, it is very likely that the opponent will use a samurai sword to cut off all the nerve threads, causing her own damage.
The falling rain hit the neon signboard, blurring the lights, but it still illuminated this corner of the street.
However, the woman in black suddenly disappeared, and her whole body and the katana disappeared as if she were invisible.
He is indeed an assassin, and the katana is a prosthetic body of him.
Assassin professional system J-level program: Stealth
While Lorna continued to rush forward, her green eyes paid attention to the rain and the trajectory of the night wind in this space.
The stealth program can only affect other people's sensory information, especially visual effects, making them invisible. It does not mean that it is truly invisible. The woman in black is still here...
Over here! Lorna suddenly jumped to avoid it, and the rain splashed away from the original position, and the raindrops were chopped by the blade.
Cold sweat broke out on her back instinctively. If the knife had hit her just now, she would have been split into two pieces at the waist.
While these thoughts were flying around, Lorna dodged again and again. With the hunter's superb nerve sensitivity, she could always avoid the cold light coming from the ghost in advance, as if she was dancing in the rain, a dance of blades.
At this time, the neon sign "Good Shop" of the store with red windows changed its light color.
From red to purple-blue, at that moment, the light penetrated the rain, reflecting a strange and hazy phantom flashing past in the rain, and the light image of the samurai sword was like a wave.
Here! Lorna opened her eyes sharply, this is a fleeting opportunity...
Her alien right hand exploded with a bang, transforming into a nerve bundle state. Countless blood threads flew all over the sky, rushing towards the phantom quickly, like a spider web entangled in a small insect.
The humanoid shape of the phantom was suddenly completely exposed to the rain.
"I've got you!" Lorna yelled, and those blood-threads penetrated the skin of the other person's head and forcibly connected to the other person's brain nerves.
Hunter-type J-level program: Neural Invasion
However, as soon as this invasion occurred, she suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, the chill of falling into a trap.
"I've caught you." The woman in black's voice sounded calmly in the rain, "Are you sure we are just assassins?"
Lorna stared at the opponent's figure reappearing little by little, but she was unable to activate the Q-level program information flow.
Us? Of course she could hear what the other party said...
The figure of the woman in black became taller, with long legs and high waist, and her face appeared. It was a face that she was familiar with and hated to see, with green pupils, big eyes, and a straight nose, Lorna Ludd.
face.
Actor Professional Department, J-level program: Mask
Now, the woman in black is no longer in a hurry, like a cat controlling a mouse.
"It's up to you to connect, and it's up to us to decide when to disconnect." The woman said calmly in another voice.
For a moment, Lorna was covered in cold sweat. She had never felt that death was so close to her like now.
This woman in black is really a... doll.

The assassin and the actor are all connected to the doll through the spiritual network channel.
