Chapter 44: Hunting Team

Looking at this, it's clear they came for Zhang Jie and the other person.

Zhang Jie also didn't expect the retaliation from Weilong Technology to come so quickly; they must have thoroughly hated him and Weiniya.

Seeing the Cyber Madman roaring and charging at the two of them, Zhang Jie secretly sighed; becoming a Cyber Madman must have endured extremely severe torment.

After all, there are many causes for a person's Humanity Value Collapse: a miserable life, overloading of prosthetics, huge impacts from life; but no matter which, Humanity Value Collapse occurs in an instant, like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Teacher! Hurry and leave!"

Weiniya shielded Zhang Jie behind her, gazing solemnly at the muscular fierce woman charging like a train, and spoke anxiously.

The opponent ignored Zhang Jie, as her impression of him was shallow, and instead roared and rushed quickly at Weiniya.

Weiniya turned and flashed; the opponent, like an out-of-control dump truck, charged onto the road, and instantly several vehicles were flattened under the powerful impact.

Behind them, a large number of guards swarmed out, but facing the figure that could slap a car away, they were extremely wary, turning and fleeing with the crowd.

"Weiniya! Don't just stand there!"

"Use Stanweistin to run!"

Weiniya was extremely obedient; her figure vanished instantly, Zhang Jie only felt his eyes blur, and his whole body was instantly taken over fifty meters away.

The opponent temporarily lost target, crying and wailing wildly on the spot, angrily pounding the ground with fists, and wantonly destroying the street.

Weiniya and Zhang Jie hid in a side alley, secretly observing the already frenzied muscular fierce woman; amidst the heart-rending roar, Zhang Jie could faintly make out some key words she was saying.

If I'm not mistaken, she was shouting: "Mom, I was wrong, don't," and similar words.

No need to say more; from these few key words one can roughly understand the story.

After all, what the Cyber Madman mutters must be what he cared about most before going mad, the thing that crushed her, and also her obsession.

Beside her, Weiniya watched the Cyber Madman continually smashing and raging in the street, dazed.

This is the second time she has directly faced Cyber Psychosis in her life; the first time she experienced it was also when she lost everything.

The oppressive feeling it gave her was extremely strong; the words "rampant prosthetics, collapsed spirit" constantly circled in her mind.

"Teacher..."

"Is it that excessive use of prosthetics and emotional collapse will turn one into a Cyber Psychosis?"

Hearing Weiniya ask him, Zhang Jie thought for a moment, then nodded.

Theoretically speaking, that's how it is; the public's understanding of Cyber Neurosis is just that.

"Then will I someday also become a Cyber Neurosis?"

Weiniya felt the operating system inside her body, the prosthetics on her body, the subcutaneous armor, and the terrifying number of times she had used Stanweistin, sinking into prolonged doubt.

If she hadn't met the teacher and was still using low-quality prosthetics with huge neural burden, wouldn't she have already become like this?

This is the first time she has so feared the prosthetics on her body, feared her body's immensely powerful, pride-worthy prosthetic compatibility.

Won't there be a day when she wakes up and is no longer herself?

Neurons will break, hormones will no longer be secreted, the insular cortex will no longer feel pain, the nucleus accumbens will no longer produce desire, no longer possess emotions, becoming a killing machine...

Thinking about it deeply is extremely terrifying...

Boundless fear gradually crept up her spine, flowing with the blood to her limbs; as she thought deeper, Weiniya only felt her blood throughout her body seeming to almost solidify.

"Don't think too much."

A warm big hand rested on her shoulder; the fear on her body seemed to be instantly melted by those big hands, a sense of safety replaced fear, and warmth flowed back.

"Where did you put your teacher's identity as a prosthetic doctor? If there are hidden dangers, I will promptly help you eliminate them."

"Even if you truly become a Cyber Madman, your teacher also has a way to pull you back from the abyss."

Zhang Jie's promise instantly shattered all of Weiniya's worries in her heart.

"Yeah, I still have my teacher..."

"My teacher will save me..."

In the distance, a huge helicopter hovered above that Cyber Madman's head; several fully armed individuals with high-tech prosthetics jumped down from the helicopter.

Several beams of light swept across, accompanied by the earth's tremor and the Cyber Madman's roar from his mouth; she was executed on the spot by those people.

"Hunting Team..."

Zhang Jie looked at these people and muttered.

They are not comparable to those street fighters in the city; they hunt giant beasts outside the walls for tech companies, handle various dangerous elements inside the walls, representing the strongest combat force within the walls.

The farce ended, but Zhang Jie didn't think Weilong Technology would just let it go; if they hired the Hunting Team to kill the two of them...

Zhang Jie's eyes deepened as he watched the Hunting Team board the helicopter and fly away; his heart felt heavy.

"As expected."

"We must do something."

Looking back, he lightly patted Weiniya's little head, then pretended to be relaxed as he rubbed her smooth silver hair twice.

"Let's go, I'll go back and make you something delicious."

"Mm..."

Weiniya actively took Zhang Jie's hand; her mood seemed to have improved considerably, but Zhang Jie's heart was complex.

"In the end, did we still end up on the same choice and path as Dad...?"

"What should we do...?"

"In the upcoming match, Weiniya didn't encounter any particularly strong opponent; it was someone easy for her to defeat."

"But what puzzles you is that, facing an opponent who could easily be dealt with quickly, Weiniya insisted on showing the audience a Stanweistin use every five minutes, teasing the opponent, continually giving them hope, so that in the opponent's utterly shocked gaze she would use Stanweistin again."

"You wanted to stop her, but Weiniya defied your arrangement for the first time; in this single match she used Stanweistin no less than ten times, completing the match in a way almost like showing off, amidst the audience's cheers that surged like waves, each louder than the last."

"As expected, the next day's headline featured news about Weiniya being able to use Stanweistin ten times, and the title 'Wei Zhen Tian,' known only within the Hei Quan Chang circle, entered the public eye; as a championship favorite, Weiniya's popularity surged to unprecedented heights."

"You don't really understand this behavior; in your expectation, Weiniya should have saved it as a trump card when dealing with Wei Er, striking him unexpectedly."

"You criticized Weiniya, asking why she did this, but Weiniya just goofed off with you, acting cute and cosplaying a quail, and only then, reluctantly, told you she had her own plan."

You felt helpless and had no idea what this guy was up to, but aside from that, Weiniya was completely cooperative with all your other arrangements for her, leaving you bewildered and able only to go along with her.

However, you think this isn't entirely bad; after thinking it over carefully, you believe Weiniya wants to put out false information to mislead everyone, make Weier on guard, and you also think she can only use Stanweistin about ten times, then finally catch him off guard.

After figuring it out, you didn't think too much about it, because there was still something more important than killing Weier that you had to focus on: whether the hunting team would be hired by Weilong Technology to come and settle scores with you.

But you don't know, what Weiniya thinks and what you think are completely different matters...

Of course, besides herself, no one knows what she is thinking.
