Lier, who had been moving quickly between buildings, suddenly stopped moving altogether. His Brain-Computer Interface flickered with electricity:
He had been deploying his strategy while moving, so his head had naturally become a wireless server, receiving and transmitting signals at the same time.
And EMPs were even more devastating to networks connected wirelessly. The Brain-Computer Interface in Lier's head was already on fire!
At the back of his neck, the processor above his Cyberware Modulator burned straight through his skin, overloading his entire cyberware system!

Lier immediately lost consciousness and plunged from between buildings thirty meters high-

A massive number of brain cells had been destroyed. If he were
