Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 134 Under the Sun

"You two, order a cup of cranberry jesus and a foamed effery."

On the artificial beach covered with light white gravel, under the open-air parasols, the waiter listlessly brought two drinks, and without waiting for the customers to ask anything, he took the plate and left immediately.

Today's weather is pretty good.

The rainy season that lasted for nearly half a month finally stopped, and this cheap open-air bar on the beach in Gaoge District reopened. Many people have gathered here under the dazzling but not glaring golden sunlight.

And at the very corner of this beach.

Song Shi took a sip of an alcoholic beverage called "Efari" and then looked forward again.

"Cranberry Jesus" had been on the table for a long time, but until the floating ice began to melt, the young woman sitting on the other side of the round table remained silent.

Or rather, shocked by the huge amount of information.

This is a woman young enough to be called a "girl". She wears loose casual clothes and has dyed blonde hair. Her level of prosthetics is not too high. Apart from a pair of implanted prosthetic eyes, only her right hand has undergone a certain prosthetic transformation.

After a long time, the girl finally came back to her senses and spoke with some difficulty.

“So, my father really has…”

"This is your father's urn."

Song Shi leaned over, took out a metal box from a handbag beside her and pushed it over.

"After Marico died in the institute, they didn't destroy the body directly, but temporarily put it in the freezer. Maybe they had some idea." Song Shi said: "I only found out about it later. Anyway, I went to grab your father's body, but the damage to his body was too serious, so I could only cremate it first."

The girl, or rather, Marico's only daughter, Mayra Bennett.

Meira opened her eyes wide, her gaze moving constantly between Song Shi and the metal box. Finally, she slowly took the metal box and opened it with trembling hands. There was white dust inside.

".How did my father die?"

she asked.

"I lied to him." Song Shi said succinctly: "The fundamental cause of your father's death was the onset of 'cyberpsychosis', and the direct cause was me. You can think that I accelerated this process."

"."

Hearing this, Meera fell silent again.

After a while, she asked again: "Are you good at it? I mean killing people, shooting guns, making bombs, hacking, etc."

"My current assessment of myself is... average." This question made Song Shi think for a while, and he replied: "But if it is limited to Palose, I am probably a hundred times better than the street kid you have met."

"Then why do you want my father to die?" Meila took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "You said that when you were in the institute, you needed my father to leave - but you said you were very powerful! And my father was just an unemployed engineer!"

"Things are different."

Song Shi stared at the other person, and the two looked at each other: "Since we met, not a single word I said was a lie."

"It's true that I needed your father to leave. It's also true that I'm a well-behaved person now."

The young man paused and continued, "Of course, you can also regard me as the murderer of your father. This is your power and freedom."

"I-I certainly don't think so!" Meila suddenly raised her voice: "The people in the research institute are the real murderers, you, you..."

"I have killed them all." Song Shi said.

Meila was stunned for a moment.

"I went to the institute where your father and I served as volunteers and killed the person in charge of 'experimental volunteer recruitment'." He took out a data card: "Here are the pictures of these people before they died."

Meera swallowed subconsciously. "So you are here to kill me now?" She wanted to ask this, but she didn't say it in the end.

"you"

"Because I have an agreement with your father, that's why I came here today." Song Shi said, and then paused: "Excuse me for asking, did Marico leave anything for you before he went to the institute?"

"Yes." Hearing this, Meila was silent for a moment: "He left me a video."

At this point, Mela stopped talking and did not take any further action, obviously unwilling to show the video to a stranger.

"Your father loves you." Song Shi wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he found that he was not good at such words, so he only said one sentence: "Marico did love you. You were the one he couldn't let go of the most before he died."

“That’s the deal.”

Song Shi took out another personal ID card, inserted it into his mobile phone, and clicked a few times.

An electronic contract begins to be shared.

Mela's artificial eye lit up slightly. Without caring about the person in front of her, she quickly flew to the bottom of the contract and found the familiar personal ID code and signature.

——[Marico Bennett].

Meila felt a little dizzy, more like a trance.

A few months ago, when she came home from school, she found that Marico was not at home. At first, she did not think much of it. As a corporate employee, it was normal for him to work overtime all night and not have time to go home. She only found out later that her father had actually been promoted at that time.

It wasn't until a whole week had passed that she finally realized something was wrong. When she was about to go directly to Marico's company, her aunt and her family suddenly came to her house. And a video of Marico with a key restriction.

The password is a string of numbers that only Meera knows.

Then she truly understood the cause and effect of everything.

To be honest, she thought she had accepted it all. After the initial disbelief and unwillingness to admit it, time, or the pressure of survival, would erase all unnecessary emotions.

until now.

——Facing the stranger who suddenly came to him.

"There are 200,000 credit points in this card. They are all clean money that can withstand the review of Dark Crystal Credit and can be used at any time." Song Shi took out a credit card and handed it to her: "At the same time, 4,000 credit points will be deposited into this account every month until you turn 25. In addition, I have also paid off your 30-year 'Learn Until Old Age' education loan."

"Well, in principle, I have no right to interfere with the use of this money. But I still hope that you can live up to Marico's expectations - at least don't use it on candy and anchors."

Meera sat there in a daze.

Unable to suppress it, she had the thought, "Is this the money my father risked his life for?" When she thought of this, she felt a flame of anger burning in her heart. But in the next moment, the thought, "After a full six months, without my knowledge, the other party was willing to keep their promise?" also came to her mind, confusing her, bewildered, and shocked.

These complex emotions intertwined, prompting her to ask: "Who are you?"

The sunlight in the sky gradually moved horizontally, casting mottled traces.

Song Shi raised his head and thought for a while.

He looked at the other person straight in the eye, ignited a flame on his index finger, and gently tapped his temple:

"Free bounty hunter Nandou."
