I fell into the world of cyberpunk games

It’s a city polis ignorance check… Okay.

let’s be calm calm down. There’s no reason to panic.

I repeated it to myself.

Yes, I am now half a year into the city. It’s been a long time since I’ve been terrified and trembling over such routine checkpoints.

Just act naturally. It’s not like you’re going through a day or two of ignorance, right?

He walked slowly and glanced at the billboard on the platform wall.

About 5 minutes until the monorail arrives… . In order not to be suspicious, it would be better to be proudly waiting for the train inside the station.

In front of the ticket gate made of transparent straight lines that do not know whether it is tempered glass or plastic, one arm is stretched out.

Jiying.

A laser sensor on the wall emitted a yellow light beam and recognized the wrist area of the arm.

On my wrist was an old watch device that helped me survive in this harsh cyberpunk world, with no cyberware modifications.

After begging hard in front of the president, it was the first time I saw a guy like you, and I got it as a gift saying it was fun.

It looks similar to the Galaxy or Apple Watch.

It is quite thick and large, so it has the disadvantage of being a little uncomfortable when moving your hand… performance is so good.

It is safe to say that all the functions of a smartphone or computer are included in this small watch device.

What’s even more surprising is that even this is an outdated technology here. Well, more than ten years ago, the era of external terminals is gone.

The trend these days is in-body technology using nanomachines, microchips, neural interfaces, brain implants, and more.

In other words, your body is a computer and at the same time a speaker and a monitor.

Just thinking about it in my head, a net window pops up in front of my eyes, making phone calls, sending messages, watching videos… All of these are possible, but there is no way to carry a watch or cell phone inconveniently and inconveniently.

It’s not that cyberware and nanotech are hot for nothing. There’s a reason tech companies rake their money.

As in the cyberpunk world, one technology should be said to be great. It’s because I can’t fully enjoy the benefits, so my stomach is full.

Anyway, for that reason, my monorail commuter pass was also registered in the watch device, so the laser sensor recognized the watch and after scanning my body once, a guide sound came out.

[Kabuki building platform, lower monorail commuter pass confirmed. access authorization. I hope you enjoy it.]

Soon the green light flickered. This means you can go inside the platform. With trembling feet, he crossed the ticket gate and looked forward.

Queue in front of monorail tracks neatly trimmed in white. Originally, I would have gone straight there without hesitation… Now, the City Police is encamped in front of it.

While standing in place, I pretended to be looking at the information on the signboard, and glanced at the appearance of the police officers in front.

A dark navy blue carbon fiber police uniform, and a reinforced exoskeleton suit that covers the limbs, spine, and head above it.

Through the lenses of the helmet, the machine’s eye light flashes across the passing citizens.

They must have been DCPD patrol officers. However, unlike the usual random inspection, the number of people is slightly higher.

One patrolman alone was enough to handle one station, but now there were as many as three. The number of general police officers under his camp is also not insignificant.

It didn’t seem like a routine checkup.

I can’t do this for no reason. Did anything happen nearby?

A strong feeling crossed my spine. I take a few steps back with an ominous premonition that something bad is going to happen.

That was then. A red laser flashed from the lens of a patrol officer during the checkpoint.

[You, stop there.]

Startle. While everyone around stopped walking in surprise, a dwarf-looking man standing in a corner shouted, “Sheesh!” ‘ he shouted and flew forward.

thud! The smooth concrete floor was dented in response to the reaction, and the assailant surpassed the general police force by simply jumping without a proper help.

It looks like it is about to turn and fall under the monorail track!

It was a surprisingly fast move. The speed far beyond the baseline of body modification level 4, which is prohibited for ordinary citizens.

However, the DCPD patrol officers guarding the rails were not formidable.

Upon recognition, the activated exoskeleton moves swiftly, stretches the upper body frame, grabs the assailant’s leg, and throws it to the floor of the platform as it is.

At the same time, the other patrol officers, who were evenly spread out, gathered in one place in the blink of an eye and surrounded the assailant without a break.

All of this happened in less than a second. With my poor natural eyes, everything seems to have gone by as if watching a YouTube video at 1.5x speed.

this… What’s going on?

shudder. The patrol officers, who have thoroughly restrained the assailant’s body, aim their guns at the man’s back and head, and then tear off his face with an exoskeleton.

Woodduck-!

The man’s face was torn off with a harsh noise.

The artificial skin made of silicone and the mechanical joint underneath it were torn, revealing the original face underneath, a very shocking reality.

The hair covered with fiber optics hidden under the artificial mask, and the mechanical facial part with an ugly shape that crushes and crushes the place where the original human skin tissue would have been. And even a bright red LED-attached eye that completely replaces both eyes.

It’s like looking at the face of a half-broken Terminator rather than a human being.

The highest-ranking patrol officer growled, looking straight at the man’s bare face through the helmet.

[What kind of tricks are Dead Cell’s minions doing in Asian Town? ok?]

Even as he threatened to blow his head away by firing a gun at any moment, only a roaring laughter came from the corner of the man’s shiny chrome lips.

A moment of chills creeps in. It was the sound of maddened laughter. The laughter of a maniac like you would see in a Joker movie.

That’s Dead Cell.

As you can tell just by looking at the man’s appearance, it was a gang of madmen.

They’re the same crazy gang, but they’re kind of the antithesis of the Luddite gang.

If the Luddite Gang is an alliance of Mechanbreakers, the Dead Cells are, on the contrary, an alliance of Mechanists.

The tech mafia are covering their entire bodies with mechanized implants and high-risk combat cyberware, and even reaching out to prohibited inhumane genetic modification and manipulation technologies.

In a word, you can think of it as an organization in which people like that are gathered like swarms. That is why, as soon as the patrol officer checked his true form, he was able to recognize that the opponent belonged to the Dead Cell.

I’ve only heard rumors that they are extreme and dangerous gangs to the point where a bounty of hundreds of billions of dollars has been placed throughout the organization, but it was the first time I’d actually seen them.

Dead Cell’s home base is further north from the East Monica block where I live… Because it is on the side of sprawlfield and abandoned land.

Yes, that lawless sprawlfield. It was no coincidence that I was startled to hear that my workplace was spread across the sprawl field.

It’s a place where crazy people like that, who seem more terrifying than the rumors, run wild every day. Can you not be afraid?

“There are three patrol officers! The company’s capable hunting dogs have arrived. heh heh I can guess why you caught me… Unfortunately I have nothing to do with it. called innocent citizens. I just wanted to ride the train, train. Because I kinda like the monorail… Hehe!”

A leaky sound uttered with a face pressed into the patrolman’s wretched steel grips.

At the sound of a voice full of laughter, the patrol officer pounded the face of the assailant on the concrete floor as if he had been heated.

[Shut up. You guys have crossed the line a lot this time.]

“line? What?! Since when did Zen exist in this city! To say that you crossed the line just because you pulled out one of the great Megacorp’s protruding tails, it’s like you scoundrels licking corporate assholes… Great!”

Quack, quad-duk, qua-jik, bang, bang—whisper.

The Dead Cell gang couldn’t speak any further there.

Because the enraged patrol officer almost squeezed the guy’s neck, and mercilessly clenched his fists until the chrome faceplate broke.

The crushed mortal man was droopy, full of blood and electrolytes.

The patrolman hurls his half-dead tattered body at the common officers and speaks wildly.

[Arrested and transported to headquarters. He was someone who knew something. The information was not wrong at all.]

It has been a long time since the entire platform was silent in the scene of that one-sided yet brutal violence. Everyone is careful about even swallowing saliva, and watches the patrolman’s eyes.

Realizing again, this was Dusk City, the city of gangs.

And the most powerful gangs dominating the city streets are not the Yakuza, nor the Luddites, nor the Dead Cells… Dusk City Police Department.

It is a gang that spreads throughout the city, is full of corruption and corruption, is extremely aggressive and dangerous, and should never be offended.

There are many reasons why I am reluctant to use DCPD. shit.

Even a normal person without any problem would get tired of seeing that look, but it would be scary for someone with a history of seizures like me. Just looking at that dark blue outfit makes my heart sink.

Still, I was happy to do this. The culprit was quickly caught and it was over.

It was quite heartbreaking, but now there shouldn’t be any problems… That was the time I thought.

[It’s not over yet, so be careful. I don’t know where his accomplices still remain here. to check thoroughly. looks suspicious… Especially for characters.]

I froze for a moment.

The patrolman’s gaze referring to the ‘suspicious-looking’ person, the cold path of the mechanical lens was clearly directed at me.

Then, he came towards me. With a reinforced exoskeleton dotted with blood and oil.

ah… damn it.

Help me.
