Just as Lucy infiltrated Tanaka's neural network searching for information,

David, who was outside, looked at the miserable Tanaka in front of him and felt some pity.

However, he hesitated for a moment in the conversation with Dolio and Maine, but still remained silent.

"Do we really want to kill him?" David muttered to himself, hesitant.

His state of mind was understandable; although he had killed before.

But the person he killed was a cyberpsycho, and that cyberpsycho also killed his companion Pira.

Therefore, David had no burden before or after killing.

But Tanaka...

To be honest, although David had a conflict with Tanaka's son, that was no reason to kill Tanaka.

Tanaka was somewhat innocent, but because Faraday wanted Arasaka Corporation's information in Tanaka's neural network, Maine and others attacked him.

To put it bluntly, Tanaka and David held no grudge.

David was not like Maine, a sophisticated and ruthless cyberpunk.

However, manga fans couldn't help but panic upon seeing David's somewhat compassionate murmurs.

How could he show mercy to Tanaka at that moment?

Furthermore, David's mindset at that moment could cause problems later! Indeed, after hearing David's murmurs in the manga, Tanaka's swollen, quite embarrassed, and anesthetized eyelids trembled.

The next page of the image went directly to Maine and Dolio.

"Just in case it's too late, we must be prepared."

"If they're in better condition, we don't need to prepare."

Maine and Dolio began to prepare various firearms, as if ready for a big battle.

At that moment, the intermediary Faraday called again.

"What's wrong?" Maine replied impatiently.

"Did you get the data?"

"In progress."

"It's taking a bit long, who's in there?"

...

"Can you do it without Kiko?" Faraday asked coldly.

He already knew Kiko was injured and went to the hospital.

"What are you doing...?"

Maine was stunned for a moment, but soon understood why: "Damn it! Falco!"

At that moment, the image, which obviously came from Maine's perspective, suddenly showed signs of disturbance.

Kenji Tanaka saw it and understood instantly.

"Maine's cyberpsychosis is getting worse... Damn it!"

He couldn't help but worry.

While talking to Faraday, his cyberpsychosis worsened.

Even the illusion of Faraday, who was obviously not with him, appeared. Finally, Faraday hung up the phone, but Maine looked at the illusion of Faraday in front of him and said angrily: "Faraday, what are you looking at?"

Dolio saw Maine talking to thin air and immediately stood up, panicking.

However, at that moment, the image returned to David and Lucy.

Tanaka, who was originally under anesthesia, let out a sudden groan.

This directly alarmed David, who was distracted.

Tanaka's consciousness was about to awaken from the effect of the anesthesia.

Once the anesthesia wears off, Tanaka's neural network becomes unstable.

At the same time, Lucy, who had infiltrated Tanaka's neural network, felt that Tanaka's neural network she was in was becoming unstable.

"So unstable..." she said, frowning, but continued to infiltrate.

She believed in David and believed that he would administer anesthesia to Tanaka at that moment to stabilize the situation.

David planned to do the same.

He found the anesthesia in the first-aid kit, but when he was about to inject Tanaka...

"Wait!"

Tanaka regained consciousness and looked at David with all his might. "Wait! Please!"

David remained impassive and was about to take the anesthesia to put Tanaka back into a coma.

"David!"

But at that moment, Tanaka shouted David's name!

The anesthesia in David's hand hovered instantly over Tanaka's shoulder and he did not inject it.

Because... did Tanaka really know David's name?

You know, Tanaka is a high-ranking executive at Arasaka, even though David and his son have conflicts.

But such a person wouldn't have the slightest impression of cyberpunk, right? David was stunned.

But the scene changed again and showed the older sister-in-law, Dolio.

"Hey! Maine! Cheer up!"

At that moment, Maine suddenly fell to the ground, with a horrible and painful expression on his face.

He seemed to be trying to control his uncontrolled body.

And Lucy increasingly felt that something was wrong.

"Damn it! The anesthesia is wearing off!"

"What are you doing, David!"

But she kept trying to sneak in, and her speed was quite fast.

And what was David doing? At that moment, he was talking to Tanaka: "I knew... you were David."

"Why..."

David was stunned.

However, under threat of death, Tanaka began to lie and tried to persuade David.

Not only did he say that he admired him very much, but he also said that he wanted him to return to the academy.

If David let him go, he would definitely let him join Arasaka and become an exceptional talent.

"We can give you a bright future, David! Don't waste your life!"

David hesitated instantly.

Yes... Is it really good to become a cyberpunk like that? Isn't his mother Gloria's dream that he can study and join Arasaka?

Kenji Tanaka watched the scene and felt anxious.

David, what are you doing?!

At this moment, how can you hesitate!

His hesitation put Lucy in danger.

But at that critical moment, Lucy finally demonstrated her powerful and brilliant hacking skills.

In the unstable network, she easily overcame many obstacles and traps and found the company information that Tanaka's neural network was looking for.

Immediately, she raced against time to download the information, and while doing so, she saw...

David's ID photo and his information jumping into Arasaka Corporation's information file.

When Maine woke up, Dolio called David, but he didn't answer.

David was still hesitating...

"David! What do you really want?" Tanaka asked.

David was also a little confused at that moment: "I... want something..."

But the loss of contact with David made Dolio discover something unusual.

She and Maine immediately went to David and found that Tanaka was awake.

"What? He woke up? Where's the tranquilizer? Give it to me!"

Maine took the tranquilizer from David, but... the spine behind Tanaka's neck suddenly overloaded and exploded...
