The table on the ground was overturned at will, the glassware fell to the ground and broke into broken glass shards. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke, and the lights on the ceiling flickered, sometimes dark and sometimes bright.
The battle was about to break out in an instant. Lin Mo hid behind a strong enough debris bunker, slightly exposing his eyes and staring at Brutus not far away.
This man who was as strong as a bear, or as fat as a pig, imprisoned the delicate woman with his left hand. Although the palm of his right hand was missing, the grenade launcher system that popped up was still full of threat.
The environment was deathly silent, and the two people facing each other wanted to eat each other's flesh and drink their blood, but it was also like a jackal and a lion cub testing each other, their minions secretly waiting to strike.
Compared to the heavy atmosphere between the two, although there was only a brief conflict in the basement, it was like a battle horn being blown.
Lin Mo's ears rang with the exchanges between Mann and the others. A fierce battle broke out in the factory area above. Even the exchanges through the communicator were mixed with gunshots and explosions.
The noisiest sound among them was nothing more than Rebecca's maniacal laughter. That unbridled laughter seemed to penetrate straight to the soul, but was unexpectedly pure, so pure that she just wanted to kill all the enemies.
"Hahaha, die, die, die, Shabis... Hahaha, eh, no more bullets, bastard brother, throw me some bullets quickly!"
Rebecca's violent voice was deafening, and even the sound of gunfire from the channel could not cover it up.
"Rebecca, calm down, don't be too impulsive, Dolio help cover her!" Mann's voice suddenly sounded, his tone slightly urgent.
Lin Mo listened for a while, and after generally feeling that there was nothing wrong with the situation above, he had to block the communicator, leaving only the call with Sasha, and stared at the strong man intently.
"Your teammates are really powerful...they killed quite a few of us. The useless guys above are still buzzing in my ears, begging me to come over and help."
Brutus chuckled softly, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the basement, as if dropping a bunch of flames into a barrel of explosives and igniting the fuse.
Lin Mo didn't reply. He was holding a samurai sword in his hand. The bullet that hit his shoulder earlier was also blocked by the skin armor. It did not cause much damage and did not prevent him from cutting off the man's head.
The man still looked at Lin Mo expectantly. He grabbed the woman's hair with his left hand and shook it, his tone full of mockery:
"Since there are people waiting for us above, let's not waste time. Boy, if you still want to save this little girl, just get out of here. Of course, if you refuse to come out, then I won't waste time. Just crush this woman's head with one hand and take it as a call for war between the two of us."
"You will definitely be happy that such a beautiful and delicate woman serves as a side dish for the two of us to fight."
Lin Mo hid behind the bunker and was quiet for a while, and finally walked out of the bunker silently. The black unicorn's light shone brightly, attracting attention.
"Very good. It seems that we both had a great time working together for the first time. So next, could you please put down the weapons in your hands?" Brutus still responded with a friendly smile.
Lin Mo didn't respond.
After a long time, Brutus sighed with regret. His generous prosthetic left hand no longer held the woman's hair, but instead pinched her head and lifted her in his hand.
"I'm sorry, little girl. It seems that someone is not willing to save you. If there really is a world after death, please wait there for a while and see who will accompany you."
The woman's expression was still dull and her eyes were lifeless. She had always looked like this since she came out of Mewtwo, like an empty body that had lost its soul.
The corners of the man's mouth raised, and when he was about to exert force with his left hand, he suddenly frowned.
He released his left hand in distress, gently rubbed his temples, and said in a sad tone:
"What a pity. I didn't expect that there is a cyber hacker hiding behind you. If I hadn't suffered a lot before, I might have been tricked."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, his expression a little gloomy.
He wanted to take advantage of the other party's release of his hand to activate Si'an Westan and rush forward, but then he remembered that the other party also had the same implant.
Even if he activates Si'anwistan first, the opponent's Krenzikov will be stressed at the same time and activate it passively.
At that time, the speed that he is proud of will return to its original speed. During this time, it will be enough for the opponent to react and activate Si'an Westan with a backhand.
"Lin Mo, the hacking failed! This man has implanted his own ICE. Now his ICE protection has been reset. Quick cracking is now invalid for him!" Sasha's slightly anxious voice sounded in his ears.
Well, he didn't expect Sasha to be able to handle him.
A scavenger leader who is qualified to do business with the company would not be able to survive until now in Night City if he didn't take a moment.
As for what ICE is, he still remembers that it is a prosthetic body in the game that prevents hackers from invading.
"Boy, I'm glad you didn't take this opportunity to open Si'an Westan. Many people once thought that they would be invincible after being implanted with this thing. But in fact, they were just fools who had luck, so those people are dead. , died in my hands."
The man patted his right arm with his left hand, making a metallic clanging sound, as if praising Lin Mo's knowledge.
"If you want to save her, just put down the knife obediently. Also, let the hacker calm down."
"I always keep my word." The man smiled.
Lin Mo would not believe this beast's nonsense. These senior scavengers did not bother to do anything that had anything to do with people.
In the current situation, putting down the weapon in your hand is a death sentence. No one would be stupid enough to do such a stupid thing.
Just when Lin Mo was staring at the murderer in front of him, thinking about what to do next, he moved his eyes slightly downward, and suddenly saw a pair of pure and clean eyes.
A pair of eyes that are full of brightness and energy like a reflection of light. The green eyes are natural and fresh. On the woman's broken body, these eyes are the only ones that are so bright.
For the first time, a vivid look appeared on the face of the woman with a dull expression.
She looked at Lin Mo holding the knife calmly, her dry and cracked lips moved slightly, as if she was reciting her last words. Although no sound came out, she still tried her best to flap her lips.
Then, she seemed to have said all the last words in her heart, and her wish was fulfilled, with a smile on her face.
Lin Mo lowered his eyes, and the woman's lip words flashed in his mind.
The shorter it is, the more people can understand it at a glance.
The meaning of that sentence is very simple
——"Please kill me."
Lin Mo suddenly didn't understand.
She is still young and is destined to have a better life in the future. She is also at the stage where she will least give up hope of life.
What kind of evil nightmare and bone-deep torture allowed her to calmly say the words "please kill me"?
Lin Mo didn't know the answer to this question, and didn't want to know.
Exploring the truth, extending compassion to the world, and rescuing people in distress are all things that a hero can do.
He is not a hero. In the foreseeable future, he will kill many people and stain his hands with a lot of blood. The word hero is too flattering to him.
There are no heroes who can save everything in this fucked up world. Even the rock boy who blew up Arasaka Tower in the past and thought he was a pioneer has buried numerous skeletons of those who died in the explosion under his achievements.
Now, if he saves people, it is a merit, and if someone dies, it is a fault...
And after the person is dead, killing the perpetrator is to make up for the mistake!
Lin Mo sometimes tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and sometimes loosened it, his expression gloomy and gloomy.
It seems that there is nothing difficult to choose. People cannot be saved 100%. Choosing the third option is the best solution. Besides, this woman is not his mission target, and no one will blame him for doing things poorly.
The content of the commission was simply to kill all these criminals.
But is it really so?
For a woman, dying at the hands of a man who tortures her and gives her endless nightmares is no less than a devout Christian being forced to commit suicide by Satan. Unable to resist, she would rather be stabbed into the heart by a demon hunter's sword and return. The country of the owner.
Time passed slowly, and the man seemed a little impatient, but Lin Mo calmed down instead, his heart as calm as still water.
Quietly, Si'an Westan was opened for the seventh time.
Time once again fell into a state of slowness and almost stillness. Lin Mo stared at the woman's eyes, as if he wanted to imprint these eyes full of prayer into his heart.
How should he choose?
Lin Mo already had the answer in his heart.
...
That's choosing the fourth option that doesn't exist!
He killed the person first and let himself be the perpetrator!
Then kill all the remaining sinners, hold all the sins tightly in your hands, and crush them completely!
Lin Mo pulled out the super smart pistol that had never been used from his waist. He raised the gun and squinted at the woman slightly as if he didn't want to see her face. The muzzle of the gun was slightly shifted and pointed at the empty space, but the young man's eyes were locked on the woman's face. On the thighs and arms, his fingers moved slightly to pull the cold trigger.
If he shoots, the woman may not die. As long as she still has breath, he is sure to save her.
But if the other side's villains take the initiative, then the outcome of all this will have already been determined. Even if he is possessed by Hua Tuo, he will not be able to save people from the hands of death.
boom!
Gunshots rang out and people fell.
