“The pale god of Kowloon wants your eyes”. It is the voice of the killer. Suddenly the killer’s extensible mechanical arm heads out fast to Cheng but Mei snaps and, with the lightning agility of her cyborg body, she blocks the hit. Cheng, who had no idea of the lethal potential of Mei’s cybernetic body, remains stunned. The cyborg girl and the killer fight furiously: the virtual struggle overlaps with the physical struggle, where both are trying to hacker each other. Mei screams to Cheng to escape. But Cheng does not want to leave Mei. He feels helpless in his human body. However, he notes the dangling cable that emits sparks due to the short-circuit. He takes it and, ignoring the danger, he throws it towards the killer. It’s a puerile move that the killer blocks immediately but gives Mei a short time to jump over Cheng and escape with him outside
