Downtown, Concord Park.
Lush trees stand in the park, and a clean river in the park reflects the reflection of the green forest and the reddish color of the sunset.
The trees are shady, the clear water is as dark green as ink, and the green grass beside the park trails makes people walk on the trails with relaxed expressions, enjoying a rare leisure time.
There are towering trees and even rockeries made of huge rocks. Everything looks so beautiful. There is such a green land in a city like a steel forest. It is really as rare as meeting an oasis in a desert.
If there is any imperfection in this park, it is undoubtedly the garbage bags lining the paths.
Garbage bags of different colors are randomly discarded in the park, adding a bit of "humanistic flavor" to the natural greenery.
——In Night City, where the per capita education level and average literacy are low, it is indeed a luxury to ask citizens to care for the environment.
But this small flaw does not prevent [Concord Park] from becoming the largest park in Night City.
The park is located in the southeast of the company square. Company employees who have free time during their breaks can even come here to enjoy dinner while enjoying the green scenery.
It was dusk, and the park, which was usually relatively quiet and peaceful, now became a little more noisy.
"Someone threw money at the entrance of the Moore Technology Building! Everyone, go pick up the money! At the entrance of the Moore Technology Building..."
The girl with twin ponytails crossed her legs and sat on the stone edge of the flower bed. She put one hand on her knee and supported her little face with a depressed expression on her face.
Beside her, a loudspeaker played a repetitive shout like a market radio.
Many passers-by stopped and looked curiously at this girl who "came out to work at a young age."
At the same time, a drone projected a virtual light screen in mid-air in the park, and the screen just showed the scene of the Moore Technology Building.
——Countless people were running in front of the building. They were hunched over like farmers planting rice. They all picked up the banknotes on the ground with fiery eyes and crazy expressions. It was a place where desire was flowing.
What's more, some people were lying directly in the sea of banknotes, throwing the banknotes all over the sky like a splash of water.
Occasionally, some lucky people found a credit chip among the banknotes.
At this time, the light curtain will immediately give the person a close-up shot.
I saw him inserting the chip into the nerve groove with a pious expression. When he saw a large amount of money being transferred into his personal account, he screamed. His scream attracted the prying eyes of the surrounding "gold diggers", and people became more and more interested. Feverishly collecting the wealth that fell from the sky in front of him.
Such an exciting scene attracted the attention of every visitor in the park. Coupled with the "advertising" ringing in their ears, most people on the spot walked towards the Moore Technology Building not far away, and the park was crowded with people. A large area is cleared in the blink of an eye.
The remaining people who were doubtful couldn't help but have a bit of expectation and curiosity, and with the idea that they wouldn't waste much time by just taking a trip, they all ran over with the crowd.
Ten minutes passed and the park became deserted.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the fallen leaves, showing the loneliness.
Rebecca was still sulking. She grabbed the loudspeaker next to her and jumped to the ground with her legs. At the same time, her eyes lit up slightly and she remotely controlled the drone in mid-air to follow her.
She had to go to the next area of the park to "advertise."
...
Park trails.
Rebecca looked gloomy, lowered her head and looked at the ground. When she found the small stones scattered on the path, she kicked them all away without landing, as if she thought these stones were someone and would not let them go without mercy.
She sighed, with an expression like "Life is not easy, I have to do a show", and walked aimlessly in the park until she heard clown-like laughter in her ears.
"Everyone, come and take a look! There is a big bastard giving out money at the entrance of the Moore Technology Building. Take a look. There is a big bastard handing out money at the Moore Technology Building!"
A cheerful male voice with a hint of lewdness sounded not far away, like a vendor selling goods in a flea market, trying his best to please every customer and let them buy their own groceries.
Rebecca looked over listlessly.
I saw my old brother Pyrrha performing in an open space, his flexible hands spinning constantly, and the two loudspeakers were like clown's performance balls drawing a circular arc in mid-air, sending out the unique sound of Pyrrha. laugh.
At the same time, the drone wandering around him was also extremely flexible, like a cheerful bird flying back and forth beside him.
The projected light curtain floats in mid-air, making it difficult to see clearly, but it can still vaguely identify what is happening at the front entrance of the building model.
It has to be said that such a clown's performance is indeed more eye-catching. Once tourists are attracted, their eyes will inevitably glance at the light curtain, and they will soon understand the grand scene happening at the main entrance of the Moore Technology Building.
After just a few minutes, there were far fewer tourists around Pila.
Looking towards the direction of the company square, one can see long queues. Countless people turned into "gold diggers", walking towards Moore Technology Company out of curiosity or expectation.
Seeing that her mission was completed, Pyrrha also stopped her movements, picked up two loudspeakers, whistled with a relaxed expression, and planned to go to the next area.
"Look at you having a lot of fun! Brother~"
A voice full of resentment sounded from the side, and Pila's body stiffened for a while, and then jumped suddenly, looking behind her as if facing a formidable enemy.
Rebecca shrugged and waved her hands listlessly, as if she was too lazy to argue with him.
"Here, sister, why do you look like you're constipated? Did you go to the toilet without paper to wipe your butt?" Pila asked in surprise.
boom!
A bullet accurately hit the ground below Pila's crotch, causing the latter to jump with fright.
Rebecca was like a Western fast shooter, gently blowing on her small pistol, and said quietly:
"If you want to die, you can tell me as soon as possible. I'm in a bad mood right now, as you know, brother."
Pila immediately showed a flattering smile: "I understand, I understand, I wonder what the old lady wants from me? Do you want me to lend a hand and help you complete your work?"
"I just saw that you seem to be very adaptable to this job." Rebecca moved her little hand dexterously, and the pistol was hooked on her finger and rotated.
Pila replied with a smile: "Isn't this great? You only need to advertise here to attract people, there is no need to fight at all, and you can get tens of thousands of dollars in your account after doing one job."
Having said this, he clenched his fists, made a cheering gesture, and said excitedly:
"As long as I complete this mission, I can buy the pair of gold-plated prosthetic hands that I have longed for for a long time! Sister, have you seen that advertisement, gold hands! Johnny has silver hands, and I have silver hands. Pila is about to have golden hands, little sister, from now on you all have to call me Pyrrha - golden hands!"
Rebecca looked at her brother with dead eyes and silently raised her middle finger:
"Shabi!"
Just when Pyrrha was immersed in her fantasy and Rebecca raised her middle finger, there was a sudden sound of footsteps next to the two of them.
Then a soft female voice sounded:
"Young, you are all here, so it seems that the rest of the park has finished advertising?"
Rebecca looked over, and the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched.
——Dolio, the deputy in the team and Mann's partner, although he has a burly figure like a boxer, he always gives them the impression of being reliable and careful.
But now, the other party's gentle and reliable aura is still there, but the advertising flagpole he is carrying behind him, with the words "Go to Moore Technology Building" written on the flag, can't help but add a bit of street salesman's aura to this aura. field.
"Dolio, where did you get this thing..." Rebecca asked, holding her forehead.
"Oh, you're talking about this, mainly because I have no experience in advertising like this before, so I just thought that carrying these advertising signs could attract more people." Dolio said seriously:
"This is what Falco taught me. He was even more exaggerated. He put advertising signs on his cars and painted them with text. They are still driving on the road now."
Rebecca sighed and said: "If Mann sees what we are like now, he will definitely be so angry that he will run back to the hospital and continue to lie down."
"He's lying down now, but it's okay. The doctor said he's recovering well. It's all thanks to Jack, he helped a lot." Dolio smiled.
As a lover who was dependent on each other and experienced life and death countless times, no one was more worried about Mann's physical condition than her.
In the past, Mann's health had always been a major concern on her mind, but now thanks to Jack and Lin Mo, Mann's health finally had hope of recovery.
"Tch, don't mention that uncle to me." Rebecca said unhappily.
Dolio blinked and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong? Did he do something wrong to make you angry?"
Rebecca's cheeks swelled slightly and she said sullenly: "That's him. He ran to my house and said that this mission was very easy. Xiao Lin Mo needed me or something. From his tone, I thought it was some important mission. The result is that he comes here to sell advertisements!”
Dolio smiled helplessly:
"This mission is obviously sent by Mr. Lin Mo. Brother Jack should be just running errands. You don't blame the messenger, but blame others..."
Rebecca didn't answer and looked away silently with complicated eyes.
"Okay, okay, now that the publicity in the park is over, we have to go to other places to promote it." Dolio didn't want to delve into this issue anymore, and waved to Pyrrha and Rebecca to follow.
"Come on, come on!" Pila followed closely.
Rebecca walked at the back with a resentful expression. She raised her head and looked at the company square and said in a voice that only she could hear:
"I also want to help you..."
...
Moore Technology Company Building, Luo Yin's office.
Despite the commotion outside, the office remained quiet and the fire in the fireplace made a faint sound.
Luo Yin was holding a cup of coffee and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a calm expression, looking at the crowds rolling like a sea wave under the building.
Then, he smiled slightly as if he was enjoying a good show, his eyes lit up with orange light, and he answered the call under his command.
Before his subordinate could speak, Luo Yin said with great interest:
[I have a general understanding of what happened outside. Don’t worry, just block the door first and don’t let these fools break in. 】
He put the coffee on his desk and continued:
[There is no need to persuade me to leave the company. The real owner hasn't shown up yet, so why should I be anxious? His target is me. The next step is that they will definitely break into the company. Pay attention to the rooftop. 】
Luo Yin walked to the desktop and looked at his computer screen. The screen showed a 3D view of the entire building. The entire building was lit with a reddish light, and the main entrance on the first floor was marked with a red color.
Without anyone's notice, Luo Yin had already guessed that the mastermind behind the riot was definitely Mr. Mo Ying as soon as the attack occurred.
Now that the rightful master has not appeared, he is running away. This is undoubtedly declaring his cowardice to the world.
Moreover, many clues have pointed out that Mr. Mo Ying owns his own aerial vehicle. Although he does not know the specific model, if he rashly escapes in the aerial vehicle, he will most likely end up like Laura, who will be attacked by the other party. Air hijacking.
The best way is to block the opponent in the building and slowly wear him out.
Once the situation goes wrong, it will not be too late to choose a strategic retreat at that time. What he has to do now is to change the situation of "the enemy is in darkness and we are in darkness" to "the enemy is in darkness and we are in darkness".
[Regarding the riots outside, don’t send security personnel down. Instead, use robots to control the area. Once you find that stupid people have broken in, let the robots open fire immediately. Later, you will say that it is the cause of the robot malfunction. 】
[In addition, employees are ordered not to go out to pick up money. Anyone who violates the rules will be fired from the company on the spot. Maintain order within the company and avoid chaos! 】
[Look for any internal inventory of incendiary bombs and other equipment within the company. The banknotes issued by European banks are water-resistant to a certain extent, but not fire-resistant. People will look for opportunities to throw incendiary bombs. 】
Luo Yin calmly gave the order. At this time, the computer screen on the desktop also displayed surveillance images from various places in the company.
[Is there no inventory of incendiary bombs...Okay,]
[Forget it, first order all the idle security personnel to rush to the upper floors of the company and guard the upper part of the building. Our guest has the ability to land at high altitude. The only chance is to seize the gap between his landing and strangle him in the sky. As long as he In the air, he is a target! 】
[In addition, install explosives on the top floor of the building. If there is no way to block him on the rooftop, blow up all the stairs in advance! 】
[If you still can't stop him, let the bounty hunter team deal with it and delay it for enough time! 】
【......】
After giving multiple instructions in succession, Luo Yin finally hung up the phone with a calm expression and tapped his fingers on the desk.
For some reason, even though he had made all the arrangements, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Just like people who live a long time, they can always have a premonition of their own death when the end is approaching... Although this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, Luo Yin really feels that he seems to have developed this premonition...
Sighing, he calmed down and did not let this emotion disturb his thinking.
After a while, Luo Yin opened the desk drawer and suddenly took out a ring and a delicate and small card.
He put on the ring, held the card in his hand, looked at the pattern engraved on it, and suddenly smiled.
On the background of the card, a holy angel with twelve wings on his back opens his hands as if embracing the world, with a gentle expression and a solemn face.
At the top of the card, the words "Guardian Angel" are clearly visible.
...
Above the Moore Technology Building, a dark floating car floated in the air.
"Lin Jun, the time is almost up. It's time to take action." In the driver's seat, Kitagawa Hao glanced at the time and reminded behind him.
Lin Mo sat on the seat of the aerial vehicle, squinting his eyes. Hearing Kitagawa Hao's reminder, he opened his eyes, grabbed the katana beside him and walked to the side door of the aerial vehicle.
The side door of the float vehicle is open, and the wind from high altitude is slightly cold.
Looking at the rooftop of the building that was vaguely visible below, Lin Mo raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but admire:
"You get what you pay for. The floating car provided by Rogge is really good. We almost rushed to their doorstep, but these guys didn't notice this floating car."
The military technology Manticore aeroplane is one of Rogge's collections. It is the world's top military aeroplane. NCPD purchases several units every year as durable goods.
After his persuasion, the legendary middleman finally "lent" him the aerial vehicle that cost him a lot of money.
Of course, no matter how optimistic he was about Lin Mo, Rogge couldn't lend out the float car for no reason.
Lin Mo had to write an IOU, promising that if the float vehicle was damaged or even crashed during the borrowing process, he would have to compensate a large amount of money at the original price.
Although there are many conditions, with the help of such a floating vehicle, they will undoubtedly be more confident in their actions.
Kitagawa Hiroshi couldn't help but introduce:
"Military Technology's Manticore aerial vehicle has a very excellent anti-reconnaissance system. As long as we don't get too close, it will be difficult for Moore Technology's radar to detect our traces."
Lin Mo nodded, recalling the plot of the game in his mind.
In one of the endings of Cyberpunk 2077, this floating car did pass through the long-distance reconnaissance of Arasaka Company. Only when it got close enough to Arasaka Tower did it trigger the anti-aircraft countermeasures equipment.
Although the float car was inevitably going to crash in the end, it did complete its task and crashed into the Arasaka Tower. If it had been replaced by another float car, it might have crashed in mid-air.
"It's time for me to leave. You will act as planned. Don't approach the building without my permission!"
"I will." Kitagawa Hao nodded seriously, and then said softly:
"I wish Mr. Lin good luck in martial arts."
"I accept your good words."
Lin Mo smiled and checked his equipment again. After confirming that it was correct, he jumped down.
He fell from a high altitude and was hit by strong winds. The thick combat trench coat and the inner jacket were blown open like wings, and the black unicorn's scabbard clanked under the wind.
On the rooftop, several security personnel squatting here with speed components implanted quickly noticed his falling figure. Without a moment's hesitation, they raised their guns and shot into the sky.
The bullets formed a dense net, like rain all over the sky, but they could not break the light of the sword. After each bullet passed through him, it turned into two arcs.
Lin Mo's figure floated in the air, spinning around and swinging his knife, like slowly falling catkins or a vigorous eagle, falling to the roof of the building quickly and steadily.
It's dusk in the evening, and the night is getting darker.
The dark figure finally landed on the rooftop at the moment when the afterglow of the setting sun faded. Fiery red flames spurted out from the propeller, and his feet stepped on the floor as silently as an eagle landing.
The time is just right, everything is such a coincidence, night has arrived, and the silence means that the night is dark and windy. At this time, someone must die because they will not be able to see the sun the next day!
The black trench coat used to cover up the figure fluttered in the wind, like the spread wings of an owl. The moment his feet stepped on the floor, the flow of time slowed down silently, and the sounds and movements in his ears became dead, like The torrential rain and violent wind that swept across the world stopped in an instant, and a bright arc of light like the moon in the lake lit up in the dark night.
The sword flashed and the head fell.
Lin Modan put the knife into its sheath, and several headless corpses slowly fell behind him.
