The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 162 - 145 Hope Su Buxian doesn’t get affected!
Su Qi pinched the empty syringe between his fingers and muttered to himself, "I see, full anesthesia... Apart from speaking, my body can't move at all."
"Awesome, awesome, do you have any more of this?"
The lady and the other three were lying on the ground, paralyzed, glaring at Su Qi who was sitting in the chair.
"We are high-ranking members of the Black Emperor gang..."
"Got it, and then?"
Su Qi rummaged through a nearby cabinet, pulling out a surgical knife set and a row of electronic tools he had never seen before. "You guys have quite the assortment of tools here, seems like you do this kind of thing often."
He took the tools out of the cabinet.
All four were transformed bodies, their numerous prosthetics serving various functions; mechanical palms that could shoot lasers, electronic eyes with surveillance capabilities, a high explosive hand grenade tucked in the abdomen, a biological power pump; even mixed with abnormal flesh, not only compatible with the prosthetics but also providing additional traits.
This was the reason they possessed superhuman strength.
"If you dare to touch us, our boss Adam Hammer definitely won't let this slide!"
Su Qi, however, put on gloves. "Looks like your boss really is a man of loyalty."
"What are you going to do?!" The four's eyes widened.
"What do you think?"
Su Qi looked at their fearful eyes and slowly pulled out the surgical knife. "Don't be afraid, this is something you do often, isn't it?"
"And don't worry, I just want what's inside your bodies. Once I extract it, you'll naturally be able to live..."
Their fear uncontrollably radiated from their eyes.
They were all too familiar with this procedure. Many customers watched in numb horror as their body parts were removed piece by piece, only now the roles were reversed—it was they who lay there!
The four's eyes trembled.
"How can you not trust me? I always keep my word."
"...."
They had no choice; they were at the mercy of someone else. It seemed like the other party was just interested in the prosthetics inside their bodies, and if the operation went well, they might still have a chance to survive.
The movements were quite professional... there was even a disinfection step. Though the body was fully anesthetized... Even though this meant losing their valuable prosthetics, they had to accept their fate.
"Right." Su Qi, holding the surgical knife and the mechanical tool, asked, "How are these things used again?"
"??????" The four's eyes widened in shock!
So you don't know jack shit!
"Don't glare at me, I'm short on time. If you don't teach me, I'll just DIY it."
"..."
They watched Su Qi's smile, their hearts trembling uncontrollably, wondering what kind of freak they had encountered!
So, for the next few minutes.
They provided oral instruction, teaching how to dissect—their own body parts.
"Alright, alright, sounds simple enough."
The four watched in horror as Su Qi flipped the knife skillfully, like writing with a brush, and began to work!
"Bro, that's my biological blood vessel circuit; you have to remove my micro generator first...Yes, yes, right next to the synthetic lobe."
"That's an electronic shock bomb... Please be gentle; don't set it off, or the mechanical prosthetic will malfunction!"
"This is my controller, the port contains the internal access data for Black Emperor locations... Fuck, I'm bleeding out!!"
"Stay calm." Su Qi held the surgical knife. "I'm not panicking, so why should you?"
Bullshit!
I'm the one bleeding out!
This person almost cursed out loud!
But they dared not shout it out, considering they were the ones being dissected.
Su Qi thought they had chosen a good location. Even if there was shouting, it would be muffled, and to prevent guests from contacting the outside world via built-in communications, there were signal blockers.
So even if they made any noise, no one would come near.
Ten minutes later.
Su Qi put all the dismantled parts and prosthetics into his Item Slot and transferred all of their Cyber Coins as well.
These guys followed the style of the city; they hadn't saved much Cyber Coin, but all together, they had about 5000.
Plus the parts and weapons.
They totaled around 20,000 Cyber Coins.
"This is Illegal Land where people avoid being exploited by Night City's capital by choosing physical exploitation instead—quick money."
Su Qi also took the paralysis compound they used. This stuff was good, just a little bit could completely paralyze a person, rendering them immobile on the ground.
As for the four who had been opened up like boxes, their truth laid bare,
They had already grown cold and showed no signs of life.
Su Qi had promised, but not one of them had survived.
Sigh.
He had accidentally severed several key arterial conduits, and that was that.
"Life is so fragile."
"But, only twenty minutes have passed, faster than I had expected."
Su Qi stretched out his hand to close the door.
Next, he had to continue his mission.
Although thousands of players had been granted a high degree of freedom and points for key achievements, one must not forget.
The main quest had not yet been clearly defined.
The main quest is the endpoint.
No matter how many points were accumulated, only by completing the main quest could they be fully confirmed.
"One location is Main City... from what I've seen, everyone has to follow the rules or contact the elites, seeking opportunities."
"Another is Illegal Land; after all, it's a massive group. Although dangerous... it's filled with unbridled freedom."
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Generally speaking.
Players would choose to contact one side or the other.
But Su Qi thought such matters required a two-pronged approach.
He had already almost learned about Illegal Land from the mouths of the four, and through the controller data, had gained a deep understanding of the so-called Black Emperor forces.
The boss of Black Emperor... named Adam Hammer.
He was already a powerful mutant, and after undergoing prosthetic modification and consuming a plethora of prohibited drugs, with his steel skin, Molten Furnace Heart, and Active Propulsion, his strength reached terrifying heights.
Dominating the scene.
Moreover, possessing a large number of subordinates and weapons, such a guy entrenched here with a strong, brutal style, gradually developed the evil force known as the Black Emperor.
"Jile's Crowd is the same, their boss named Poker K gathers wealth... He's old and deep, sly and crafty, and they are mortal enemies."
Su Qi slowly moved towards Jile's Crowd's territory.
Of course, before going, he had to disguise himself first. The liquid metal moved slowly, connecting most of the useful parts and even the Black Emperor's unique tattoo appeared on his back.
And now
he, Su Qi... was a high-ranking member of the Black Emperor gang!
At the moment, he was preparing to stir up trouble in the damn rival territory of Jile's Crowd!
Because they!
Killed four of his deeply loyal gang companions!
-----------------
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The gym's bell swung!
"Transformer Eric is dead! Congratulations to Shatter Killer Frost for the victory!"
"This is Shatter Killer's twenty-fifth win tonight, let's cheer for him!"
"Oooh yeah!"
The large crowd in the venue let out a frenzy of shouts!
Meanwhile, in the private box, Poker K, with a cigar clamped in his mouth, coldly watched through the glass, "Boring, are there no stronger opponents arranged? Shatter Killer isn't even taking this seriously yet."
Shatter Killer Frost was a super transformed human created at great expense by him.
He was the trump card of Jile's Crowd.
"Boss, there have been quite a few people wanting to join our gang recently; please take a look at the list," someone handed him a list.
Poker K glanced at it, "So many more than before? Give them a low-level intern gang member status first, assess them for a couple of days."
The two gangs had completely different requirements for joining.
For Jile's Crowd, it was all about tributes... In short, pay money, then carry out some shady tasks, only then could one get rid of the intern status within the gang.
The Black Emperor, on the other hand, valued strength, one had to complete violent, dangerous tasks to qualify for membership.
"Boss..."
At that moment.
Someone rushed in anxiously, "Boss, something bad has happened."
Poker K looked at him expressionlessly and didn't speak.
A henchman by his side frowned fiercely and slapped the intruder, sending him flying, "Who... did you say had it bad?"
The man crashed into the wall, clutching his face, his eyes trembling, he had forgotten... the one thing his boss hated most was to hear ominous words.
"I...."
"Start by telling me what happened," Poker K said calmly, seemingly not angered by the interruption.
The man hurriedly began to tremble and speak, "A member of the Black Emperor came to one of our casinos to stir up trouble."
"What kind of trouble?"
"He kept winning... and all our cheating devices couldn't stop him, so we were about to get physical."
This was the rule of Jile's Crowd; their casinos had no regard for honesty. Winning was fine... but if one won too much, they wouldn't hesitate to make that person disappear.
"And then?" Poker K expressionlessly picked up his glass, took a sip, and asked, "Our guys aren't so incompetent that they can't handle a mere Black Emperor member, are they?"
The man lowered his head, "Boss, that guy... he had the Black Emperor's Cyber Electric High Explosive Bomb! He's a high-ranking member! He set off an explosion, destroyed half the casino! Then he fled, and our people are chasing him!"
"Crack!"
Poker K suddenly crushed the glass in his hand!
His face darkened, "Very well! Very well!"
"The Black Emperor's dogs, they can't stay quiet, can they?"
These days everyone minded their own business, and now they pull this?
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Send more people, catch that guy! Then tie him up in the square and execute him publicly!" Poker K directed another person.
"And what about me?" the man from the casino asked, bewildered.
"You..."
Poker K's palm gently opened to reveal an electromagnetic barrel, and the next moment, with a 'boom'!
The man's eyes filled with disbelief as he was pierced through, revealing the wires in his chest, then he collapsed to the ground, dead.
"People who don't follow rules truly annoy me..."
Poker K slowly withdrew his hand, gazing at the Bone Breaker below, and gently sipped the remaining wine.
At the same time.
The troublemaker, Su Qi, was sprinting through the bustling streets!
"Catch him!"
"Damn Black Emperor gang member!"
Su Qi raged, "Everything I do is for revenge!"
The numerous pursuers were also incredibly fast; their knees and legs had been modified, granting them propulsion!
Elsewhere.
Many players were startled by the commotion and, watching the scene, didn't dare to get close, quickly getting out of the way!
Transhumans became ferocious with the support of weapons and mutants, possessing astonishing combat capabilities!
And there were so many of them!
Who were they chasing?
"Boss... what should we do?" a player looked to the white-haired man in front of them.
The white-haired man remained calm, "Don't get involved, neither of these two forces is something players can contend with."
"Next, we had better find a chance to join one of them, even if at a very low level, to at least get a layer of identity."
"Understood."
And Rainier Vale was also nearby, in an alley, cautiously observing the streets full of pursuers.
"What's happened?" Fatty asked, peering curiously, "Looks dangerous."
Rainier Vale spoke gravely, "Seems to be a grudge between two gangs, but it's none of our business."
"However, in this direction..."
He sighed.
"Let's hope Su Buxian... doesn't get caught up in it."
