What is a super villain?

Chapter 99 Consequences of Failure

Wildfire Street, Old Dog Clinic.

Cheng Sai woke up.

The first step in returning to consciousness was the whole body twitching. The accumulated soreness made him unable to even control his fingers in the first few minutes.

The old dog picked his feet next to him and said that he used the prosthetic body overclocking to cause problems with the compatibility of the nerves and the prosthetic body. He needed more rest. It would be better to remove part of the prosthetic body and replace it with original flesh and blood.

Declining compatibility is a very dangerous signal.

Most cyberpsychopaths start with compatibility problems and fall into the abyss step by step.

Then Cheng Sai wondered when he would use the prosthetic body overclocked, and recalled the scene where his body blocked the grenade.

"It's quite reasonable for you kid to say that you are a genius. It is also a miracle that the high-explosive grenade deforms the frame of the prosthetic body and the electromagnetic pulse causes the prosthetic body to run out of order."

The old dog took out the syringe and injected him with medicine:

"You won't be so lucky next time. Your heart can't bear your pretensions. Next time you overclock it, it may explode directly."

"Anyway, you know what's in your mind, so let's figure it out."

Cheng Sai's face was pale, and he smiled: "Thank you Uncle Dog."

As he said that, he wanted to straighten up from the hospital bed, but a piercing pain caused him to go limp, and he grabbed the bed sheet indiscriminately.

"Don't think about it within a month, even if you are a genius, you have to rest for at least two weeks."

"What about Ding Ling and the others?"

Cheng Sai lay on the bed and looked at the mottled ceiling.

"Go out and meet your cyberpunk middleman." The old dog suddenly smiled gloatingly: "If you screw up, you will have to pay liquidated damages? Tsk tsk, you are really rich."

Cheng Sai's heart sank.

True, they screwed up.

Nightcrawler failed to get the copy data of the fat supervisor, and was stopped by a reborn military security team leader.

He has fought against quite a few rebirth military security personnel, and that squad leader was the first one who could ignore the Chuyue hacker intrusion.

Cheng Sai clenched his fists under the quilt of the hospital bed.

During this time, Nightcrawler relied too much on the hacking skills of Moon Moon.

Before each commission, Chuyue first implanted the prosthetic virus or interfered with the defense system to solve most of the troubles. He just rushed to the destination with ease, and walked away after achieving the commission goal.

If he could be stronger himself and have a better prosthetic body, he might be able to turn the tide in this commission.

According to the rules of Rose City, cyberpunk can't mess up the commission and then slap his ass and leave. He has to bear the loss of the middleman or even the employer behind the scenes, otherwise he will be blacklisted.

They don't have enough money to pay liquidated damages, unless they use the money for Ding Yi's medical treatment.

Cheng Sai turned his head and looked at Ding Yi who was sleeping in the frozen life support cabin.

"We're back! Uncle Dog, open the door!"

There was a bang bang knock on the door outside the bed.

The old dog yelled: "The door is unlocked! Go straight in!"

As soon as the door of the clinic was pushed open, Ding Ling walked in with Chuyue carrying the packed food.

"Speaking of which, what about the original pear-blossom wooden door of the clinic? Uncle Dog, did you sell it? Why change it to a plastic one."

"I met a cyber lunatic a few days ago."

The old dog sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it...here, Cheng Sai is awake, you pack up and leave quickly, don't cause trouble for me."

Ding Ling is already familiar with his cowardly appearance that has nothing to do with him, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, Uncle Dog, see you later."

Ding Ling first found a towel to wipe off the dust on her brother's life support cabin, and checked the condensate before starting the race with He Chuyue.

Because Chuyue is too short, Cheng Sai's weight is basically on Ding Ling alone.

They returned to the intricate sewers from the secret door of the old dog clinic, and drove to the secret base of the nightcrawler with ease.

"Feel sorry."

On the way, Cheng Sai suddenly spoke.

Ding Ling was stunned, and then smiled: "What are you talking about between us?"

"The liquidated damages on the middleman's side, I still have savings here, and the bouncing air valve that was originally planned to replace the calf prosthesis can be taken out for emergency. Your brother can also sell the prosthetic body on me. Change to a better life support cabin, and we will discuss the long-term plan later..."

"Wait a minute, why are you acting like you're going to explain the funeral?"

Ding Ling hammered his chest once:
"It's not dead yet!"

Cheng Sai coughed violently from the hammer, and Ding Ling frantically comforted him.

Afterwards, Cheng Sai continued:
"I mean it, no kidding."

Ding Ling's smile suddenly went cold.

"Look, with my current state, not only can I not continue to accept commissions, but even repairing the prosthetic body will cost a lot of money. If we really do this, our accumulation of more than half a year will be in vain."

"And in the future, the situation may not necessarily improve. If you fail a deal, the reputation of the middleman will also drop. It will be difficult to receive such high-paying commissions."

Cheng Sai looked directly into Ding Ling's black agate eyes:
"Do you want me to continue? It would be impolite to continue."

"Cheng Sai, has anyone ever told you that it's annoying to be so self-righteous?"

Ding Ling tugged at his ear:

"Chuyue and I haven't said anything yet, so you're just talking in frustration, why? That company dog ​​not only smashed your prosthetic body, but also broke your bones?"

"No, I just..." Cheng Sai smiled bitterly.

"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Anyway, your task is to have a good rest."

Ding Ling continued walking:
"Leave the rest to me. Chuyue and I are not your followers. Don't underestimate us, idiot."

Cheng Sai did not respond.

He had already fallen asleep on Ding Ling's shoulder.

The latter had no choice but to try his best to carry him, let Chuyue open the way ahead, and walk forward step by step.

They were back on the outskirts of Scavengers Row when they rebuilt the sky from the fetid gloom of the sewers.

Before he had gone far, he heard a scream.

A few gangsters in cheap spiked leather jackets with the top half of their heads shaved were blocking a little girl on the block.

"What are you doing!"

Ding Ling couldn't walk fast with Cheng Sai on her back, so she could only shout from afar.

"The fierce ghost is doing business, if you don't want to die, get out!"

The leading gangster turned his head, a ghost face tattoo extending from the right cheek to the neck.

They all had guns in their hands, and they immediately clicked and aimed at this side.

Ding Ling also directly confronted with a gun, and Chuyue manipulated her fingers on the tablet for a moment, and immediately several fierce ghost gang minion prosthetic bodies fell down screaming and smoking.

Seeing their appearance, the leader of the Ghost Gang narrowed his eyes: "Cyberpunk?"

Gangs and cyberpunks, like guilds and mercenaries, both fight and cooperate, depending on the interests.

However, because they all make a living by licking blood at the edge of a knife, they will restrain each other when they meet on the road, so as to avoid unnecessary bloody conflicts.

"Let go of that girl and go."

Ding Ling pointed the gun at the leader of the Ghost Gang from a distance.

"Tsk."

The leader of the ghost gang waved his hand, and the subordinates stopped besieging the girl and made way for a passage.

The girl ran out quickly and disappeared around the corner.

"We're just serious advertising, don't be so hot."

The leader of the Devil's Ghost Gang pointed to the advertisement on the wall, "Mysterious idol election variety show, the championship prize is tens of millions!"

"Did you see, a serious advertisement placement specialist, I was just telling that girl about the election content... Let's see if you're pretty good, do you want to participate?"

"roll!"

Ding Ling snorted again.

The leader of the Ghost Gang shrugged and waved: "Let's go, brothers, the next street will continue to 'promote', remember to 'volunteer' to participate!"

The members of the Ghost Gang were yelling, and some people made obscene gestures to them, swearing in slang.

Ding Ling only put away her gun when the group of people swarmed away.

"Next time you do something like this, tell me in advance."

Chuyue chewed gum and said.

Ding Ling nodded, and glanced at the advertisement posted on the wall. Huayin Amber's healing smile was just below the advertisement.

After a while, Ding Ling spoke:
"I was impulsive... let's go back first, this guy weighs like a pig, I'm almost exhausted."
