Moore Technology Building, exclusive offices near the top floor.
The firewood in the fireplace was crackling and burning slightly. The pebbles surrounding the firewood were neatly arranged. Eggs flown from Europe were placed on the stones and quietly burned by the flames. The fragrance passed through the three-sided leather sofa. table, passing through the wine cabinet stacked with wine bottles, until you reach the large desk near the floor-to-ceiling window.
The man put his hands together on the table, staring at the computer screen on the table with deep eyes without any trace of emotion.
The atmosphere in the office is silent and silent.
The sunlight outside the window penetrates in, and the picture on the computer screen is bright and visible.
On the computer screen, the reconnaissance drone he sent there finally arrived at the scene at this moment.

However, the image captured at the first moment was a crisp gunshot and a figure that fell helplessly.
Thanks to the development of today's cameras, the picture pixels returned by the drone are very clear.
Luo Yin could clearly see the blood-white mixture spurting out from the head of this woman who had had skin-to-skin contact with him several times.
Immediately, the woman fell to the ground covered with blood, losing all her vitality.
He never thought that the so-called separation would come so quickly. Apparently in the morning, Laura walked into his office and talked about some things with him.
After that, Laura needed to go out temporarily due to official duties.
As a result, the float vehicle was hijacked by gangsters at high altitude in the middle of the journey.
At that time, Luo Yin didn't take this matter to heart because he was sure that the company's emergency department would handle this kind of thing.
Three professional emergency rescue teams were enough to ensure Laura's personal safety.
But he never expected that the news that came back later would be worse than the last... He finally realized that this was no ordinary gangster, and the strength of the other party exceeded expectations.
Therefore, the emergency department also quickly dispatched drones to the scene, and used personal connections to contact the NCPD department, allowing the violent terrorist mobile team to temporarily intervene.
As an outsider, Luo Yin had heard a little bit about this terrorist mobile unit.
An independent law enforcement department will only be responsible for cyber lunatics or major security incidents... Its combat effectiveness is basically unique in Night City. Even if you look at the world, it is also a top tactical task force.
It's a pity that the person who was supposed to be rescued died before these people arrived.
At this moment, the emotion lingering in his heart was not sadness, let alone reluctance, but anger that his beloved things were destroyed, and a sense of shame that his dignity was offended.
"Interesting guy..."
Luo Yin continued to watch the screen patiently, waiting for the follow-up to unfold, but deep down in his heart, he did not expect this gangster to die so easily.
Even as to whether the violent terrorist mobile team could successfully suppress the gangster, Luo Yin held a relatively pessimistic attitude towards the probability of success.
Objectively speaking, there is indeed some gap between the company's emergency response force and the violent terrorist mobile team, but it is not too much.
Since the opponent could easily eliminate the two rescue teams, leaving the last emergency team to wait and see from a distance without daring to move forward, it proved that his individual strength exceeded most imaginations.
Cyber madmen are scary, but if these madmen can still remain sane, then they will be even more terrifying.
...
Time passed bit by bit, and the final fact did not exceed Luo Yin's expectations.
The Manticore hovering on the rooftop of the Terrorist Mobile Team was hesitant to get off. It seemed that it wanted to wait for the gangster's delay time to end, and then use hacking technology to overload the other party's Sianwistan.
However, after a stalemate for nearly a minute or two, both them and the Moore Technology Emergency Department, who were watching the scene through a drone, were shocked to find...
Why can't he stop?
The power of time seemed unable to act on this gangster. He repeatedly entered the world of Time Slow countless times, and the Sian Westan prosthetic body on his body did not seem to be overheated at all!
They had never imagined that a person could enter a slow state almost infinitely, and the whole person would turn around on the rooftop, like a ghost playing tricks on human beings, with an erratic and illusory figure.
If you mark the opponent's movement trajectory, you can even find that the opponent is running around on the rooftop, and the final route is actually a capital "sb".
The Terrorist Mobile Team seemed to realize that this "cyber lunatic" was playing tricks on them, but they were also puzzled as to why this guy still had enough sense to make such a provocative move?
But the opponent's astonishing performance is indeed very similar to the fighting power that only a cyber madman would possess.
So after a short discussion, the operators of the mobile team equipped with Si'an Westan each activated their own speed components, holding the technical rifle-Military Technology M-179 Achilles, trying to fight against speed with speed, and faced off at high altitude. The enemy conducts suppressive fire.
This is also their usual method of dealing with cyber lunatics who have also been implanted with speed components. No matter how fast the Sianwestan implanter is, it cannot be faster than the rate of fire of technical weapons.
However, the result was shocking again. Even though they also entered the slow world, they still could not catch each other's figure. The so-called aiming and shooting became a luxury at this moment.
"What a monster this is!"
The police inspector of the violent terrorist mobile unit who led the team couldn't help but cursed secretly.
This is also a situation they have never encountered before. In the past, with their own laboratory prototypes, powerful equipment and armed vehicles, any cyber madman was just a lamb to be slaughtered in front of them.
But now, the strength of the target of suppression far exceeds their expectations, and they don't seem to have many effective ways to defeat the enemy...
They couldn't do any harm to this guy just by attacking from a high position, let alone go down to confront him head-on.
The police inspector of the mobile team was very sure that if he dared to instruct other team members to go down to fight the enemy, the outcome would be no surprise, and his team members would definitely be chopped into pieces in a short time.
He has the vision and judgment.
Do we still need to seek support from the headquarters? The inspector thought calmly.
As if realizing that this stalemate was meaningless, the gangster finally stopped.
Just as the police inspector was overjoyed, he saw the gangster slowly take out a small button from his pocket...
"Quick! Stay away from the rooftop!"
The moment he saw this button, the police inspector yelled towards the driver's seat.
There is no mistaking it, this ordinary button is actually a detonator!
However, it was too late.
With a strange smile on the corner of the gangster's mouth, the flames of the thruster spurted out and the button was pressed.
A violent explosion sounded under the rooftop, blazing flames spurted out from the windows on the next floor, the glass windows shattered, the roof began to collapse, and strong shock waves swept around like waves.
The gangster calmly jumped into the air, and the power of the propellers on both feet was raised to the highest level!
He actually used this powerful impact to achieve a leap in his own speed!
Using the thrusters to adjust the direction, everyone was stunned by the explosion and successfully flew into the Manticore!
Another massacre began. The floating vehicle swinging violently in the air seemed to herald the complete end of the myth of the violent terrorist mobile unit.
There were no more gangsters on the surveillance screen, only a sea of fire on the roof of the building, with several wreckage being thrown out of the Manticore floating car from time to time.
Then, the gangster faced the high altitude again, jumped down, and silently raised his middle finger in the direction of the drone. He was as graceful as a diver, fell from the high altitude, and disappeared into the vast cover of the building. among.
...
Luo Yin calmly picked up the coffee cup on the table, took a sip expressionlessly, and then put the cup back on the table.
He stretched out his hands and clapped gently, like an audience watching an extremely shocking movie. It wasn't until the end of the scene that he finally couldn't help but applaud to express his admiration.
"Unfortunately, the rhythm later on was a bit too fast, which is really regrettable."
Luo Yin couldn't help but sigh, like a film critic commenting on the film's minor flaws.
However, this is not surprising.
For these users of Si'an Westan, once they decide to take action, it will be extremely powerful and fast as thunder.
Although what happened in the end was very fast, it did not prevent Luo Yin from detecting some details.
First of all, this guy must have been prepared for it. He chose this rooftop as the battlefield, not only to provoke him, but also because he planted a lot of explosives here.
Nothing unusual could be seen on the rooftop, and the detection and scanning device mounted on the Manticore aerial vehicle did not detect these explosives, so these explosives should be buried on the floor below the roof.
He is the top user of speed components. The shock wave of the explosion will never harm him, but will instead assist him. Whether it is used to get rid of the enemy or to destroy the enemy, it is an excellent solution.
Using the explosion shock wave as a "power thruster" like this is probably a method that the other party came up with accidentally.
"The more chaotic it is, the more terrifying monsters it breeds. This city...has always been like this." Luo Yin lamented.
At this time, an email message suddenly popped up on the computer screen in front of me.
After clicking on it, Luo Yin found that this was intelligence information summarized by the intelligence department in the shortest possible time.
"Mo Ying is good at using swords and rarely uses firearms. He is a rare sword user in the next life bar..."
Luo Yin's eyes gradually became darker, and his voice read out the information softly.
Finally, he focused on the last message:
[Suspected to be related to the death of Director Goodwin, the other party also appeared during a field test of experimental products...]
a long time.
Luo Yin scrolled through the message to the end, then his eyes lit up slightly and he dialed the number of the intelligence department.
"I need your help to spread the news that this mercenary named Mo Ying, no matter who he is, can come to our company and receive 10 million euros as long as he gets his head."
"...Oh, don't worry, I will pay this money personally, and your department doesn't have to feel embarrassed. You can just do as I want. Do you understand?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment. After noticing Luo Yin's resolute attitude that he would not refuse, the person in charge of the intelligence department also immediately gave up any thought of persuasion.
As the chief CTO, Luo Yin is fully qualified and capable of issuing such a reward.
It's just that the amount of money this time was so large that the person in charge of the intelligence department was a little shocked.
In fact, in a chaotic place like Night City, bounties of similar amounts are not uncommon.
Like those bounty hunters hired by ncpd, their processor software is often loaded with ncpd's internal database.
In this way, when using the prosthetic eye scanner, you can basically analyze the basic information of the scanning target and whether the other party has a criminal record.
For some criminals with serious crimes, ncpd will also set up some bounties for these targets in the database to attract bounty hunters to help solve the criminals.
It's just that these bounties are just some sweetness after all, not even dessert after the meal.
If a criminal is truly a nuisance, it's entirely possible to hand over a large bounty to an intermediary and let a reliable intermediary handle the matter.
The latter method is not only reliable, but also efficient.
The two methods are the most common forms of bounties in Night City.
However, this time, the reward plan Luo Yin wanted undoubtedly did not fall into the two methods mentioned above.
All he wants is to make the muddy waters in Night City even muddier.
It was like a high-ranking nobleman was admiring the fight between wolves, leopards, tigers, lions and other wild beasts. At the critical moment, he dropped a large piece of delicious fat and hung it on the body of a certain strongest beast. Quietly Wait for the beast to be surrounded by other packs of wolves and hyenas, and eventually torn into pieces.
But the head of the intelligence department still doesn't understand. Isn't this kind of behavior forcing the other party to remain anonymous?
Which fool would run to the streets with such a high reward?
Isn't this the same as a child holding a gold brick... No, it should be a humanoid cash transport truck!
No matter how powerful the mercenary named Mo Ying was, he would never be able to withstand the countless hunters attracted by the bounty.
As long as he appears, he will definitely attract the attention of countless hunters. For the future life, he will definitely have trouble eating and sleeping.
"If he retreats because of such a small amount of money, then in my eyes, he will be no different from the ordinary mercenaries on the streets, and the jackals and hyenas that can be seen everywhere."
Seemingly understanding the concerns of the head of the intelligence department, Luo Yin smiled easily and answered his doubts.
"By the way, don't forget to add some description to Mr. Mo Ying. Let's say that he is a potential cyber madman who bombed the top floor of a building, killing countless civilians, and also killed many people in the follow-up pursuit. law enforcement officers..."
"Money is the best authority. With such a large bounty, believe me, ignorant people will only trust this extremely cruel madman. Even if some people don't want to believe it, they will choose to believe the money. "
"Let the people who run the public relations department work hard and run it well. This money will also be a good advertising effect. We can also explain that the reason why Mr. Mo Ying is so powerful in combat is because he has been implanted with our company's prosthetic body. .”
"In addition, if this Mo Ying's performance makes me very satisfied, I can consider continuing to increase the bounty. Ten million euros is just a guaranteed bounty. When making subsequent announcements, you can describe the upper limit of the bounty as 100 million. , the ignorant people will only focus on the amount of money. If he is really that good, then why not increase the reward to 100 million in the future?"
"..."
After briefly describing the method, Luo Yin finally hung up the phone.
His expression was very relaxed and joyful, as if the 10 million euros he spent were just pocket change.
However, in fact, this seemingly huge bounty was indeed a negligible amount of money to him.
Moreover, if Mr. Moying escapes because of fear, then the money will not even be spent.
"I hope you won't disappoint me..." Luo Yin looked at the information on the screen and smiled to himself.
