"You three, please stay. I need to verify your identities."
As night fell, at the entrance of the Yujin Bar in the Haywood Valley area, a security guard wearing a black vest raised his hand and looked at the group of two men and one woman in front of him with vigilant eyes, as if he was unsure whether they had the right to enter. His qualifications are very doubtful.
After all, as a high-end entertainment venue only open to the privileged class, it is usually mostly employees of large companies and middle-level people who come here to drink away their worries after get off work. These people either drive cool sports cars, or directly land on the top of the bar in a floating car. No matter how bad things go, at least there will be a special car from Delamain to take care of the pick-up and drop-off.
Although the clothes of the three people in front of him did not look like ordinary Night City citizens, in order to ensure that the big shots in the bar would not be disturbed by idle people, the security guard who did not want to lose his job still carefully checked the information provided by the three people. identity information.
"Steve Higgins, marketing specialist of a biotechnology company, Quinlan McCain, technical consultant of the Tsunami Defense Product R&D Department, and Miyoko Okawa, researcher of the Tsunami Defense Product R&D Department."
After confirming that the three of them were genuine company employees and not thieves, the security guard who was supposed to let them in immediately said that the two VIPs from Tsunami Defense could enter, but Commissioner Higgins of Biotechnology probably could not.
The reason is simple. Yujin Bar is a property owned by Arasaka. As a weapons manufacturing company affiliated with Arasaka, Tsunami Defense is an out-and-out ally, and their employees can naturally enjoy the same level of treatment as Arasaka employees.
But as we all know, biotechnology and military technology have an ambiguous relationship, and military technology is Arasaka's mortal enemy. Therefore, it is reasonable for Arasaka to target biotechnology together.
"It's simply incomprehensible!"
Faced with the obstruction of the security personnel, Miyoko Ogawa raised her eyebrows slightly and said confidently: "You and Steve were friends when we were young. Now that I have come to Night City from Europe for business, it is easy to reunite with old friends. Could it be that you and Quinlan Do you want to be rejected by him if you want to be a landlord? Besides, which sign in Yujin Bar says "Biotechnology and military technology are only for entertainment"? "
"Two killed, not one yet."
It may be due to her physical condition, and many modifications that can induce cyberpsychosis have no effect on Miyoko's mental state. The scientific researchers of the group who customized the prosthetic transformation plan for you believe that it may have nothing to do with Miyoko's several suicide experiences when she was young.
As the elevator door hurriedly opened, the two Arasaka employees who were standing behind the door chatting could even see clearly where the attacker was, and their heads were not cut open by the sharp mantis knife on Miyoko's arm.
Sitting under a low chair near the bar, Miyoko quietly felt the skillful skills and smart notes of the piano player under the stage, and next to you was your eighth prey.
Tano Sorrento successfully completed the task assigned to me by the group. Maybe the process was not bloody and unpleasant, but the result was bad, and that was enough. Faraday longs to be one of us, but without the help of a mortal team, I'm not sure.
Unfortunately, no matter what the possibility was, Faraday always wanted to open the door for someone to come. So I just walked from the bedroom to the living room without saying a word, picked up the pistol under the table and pointed it at the door, not being prepared to shoot at any time.
Glancing at the dark green logo of the biotechnology company under the chip, the captain realized that things might be far simpler than imagined. He quickly put the chip intact into the evidence bag, fearing that he would be careless and cause the data in the chip to be damaged.
"It's really the wrong tune. Listening to the lively sound of the piano, I really thought I could still hear that old tune in 2076."
But I'm afraid I never dreamed that when the elevator doors closed, they were still laughing and playing the next second. The eight people who were like childhood suddenly fell silent. The corners of their mouths straightened in an instant made people believe that it was us. 's facial prosthesis malfunctioned.
"It's too late, Night City! You are their Stanley! Yesterday's Dead Man Lottery was a full seventy! Even though I know why there is no cyberpsychosis left to kill outside the bar, but you It seems that it’s better for Xiaojia to go out more recently, because Arasaka and the trauma team who have lost money will have such a bad breath!”
"Uh-huh!"
Miyoko Ogawa, who looked like a treacherous man when confronting security just now, has not yet taken off her disguise. The dynamic light-cooling camouflage on the prosthetic face makes your face look like it is obscured by a dense mist.
Miyoko, who has opened the Sian Westan, shuttles between the tables and chairs of the Yujin Bar like a leisurely stroll, looking for your prey - thanks to the group's more solid technological foundation, after simulation tests, the inside of Wei Fanying's body The performance of the Stars version of Sian Westan is only comprehensively superior to that of the other known versions in the cyberpunk world, and it is only a little bit better.
The security personnel were speechless when they heard this. Indeed, before the seventh corporate war ended with Arasaka's victory, Arasaka's relationship with military technology had not been in a hurry. Even though the confrontations between the two sides have never stopped, it is logically untenable to use this as a reason to prevent biotechnology employees from retreating to purely entertainment venues like Yujin Bar.
Seeing that the most uninteresting part had begun, Haaland casually switched the program to a tense and enjoyable family carnival type. As for Xingshu’s mention of some of the content on the morning news just now, I just nodded in disbelief and did not make any verbal comments. evaluate.
"I'm afraid the only person who can cause such a tragic scene is cyberpsychosis, which is the worst kind. Otherwise, those Arasaka employees who had low-level prosthetics implanted would have been killed without even showing signs of resistance."
Either the person at the door drank too much and recognized my door, or no one investigated me and came to visit me all night long.
According to Faraday's plan, the first step in joining military technology is not to send a terrorist team to attack Arasaka, thereby attracting the attention of the company's lower levels. But now Baofei doesn't understand my orders, and the seemingly perfect plan has just disappeared into the sea without even a splash of water.
Seventeen minutes ago, when several members of the Mann Mobile Team who came to the rescue after receiving a report retreated into the Yujin Bar to look for survivors, even though we are used to seeing piles of dead people, the broken limbs and broken arms scattered under the floor were still shocking. We gasped.
"Thanks for his bad intentions, but you're not in a hurry, maybe last time."
Although few citizens in Night City have no prejudice against the Mann Mobile Team, and even think that we are all hidden cyber psychopaths, as an elite force trained by the NCPD that spends a lot of money, every time there is a controlled cyberattack on the streets, When Bo is mentally ill and goes on a killing spree, we can always show up in time to protect the innocent Night City citizens.
"It hasn't been ten minutes yet, let's deal with it a little bit."
After scanning the panicked crowd around him, Wei Fanying licked the salty liquid under his lips and murmured to himself: "There are many witnesses, which is in line with the plan."
With the sound of the sharp blade entering his body, Faraday looked blankly at the tip of the knife emerging from his chest. Realizing what had happened, I desperately raised my hand and grabbed the blade. Even though my fingers were cut with deep wounds visible to the bone, I refused to let go. .
"According to reliable information, Dean Tanaka Tetsuo of Night City Arasaka Academy was drowned outside the toilet of his own bathroom by a cybermaniac who came from nowhere! Even though the NCPD and Mann Mobile Team have not yet been dispatched All police forces have been deployed to arrest the criminals, but the murderer of the following case has not yet been arrested, so you would like to give some advice to these cyberpsychotics who are at large."
In the vacation suite of Cangbi Building, Harland, who had had a bad night's sleep, was drinking coffee while watching today's morning news.
Taking a heavy sip of whiskey on the rocks, the eighth prey turned around and chatted up Wei Fanying who had turned off the light-cooling camouflage: "Hey, handsome man, look at the tsunami defense brooch on his chest. Can't you?" Would you like to buy him a drink?"
Of course, although such extremely rare cases have certain research value, there is almost no possibility of small-scale cultivation. Therefore, before the scientists of the group discovered Ogawa Miyoko's wonderful flower, they simply collected some data and then let you do your most unsuccessful work.
It's a pity that I am willing that the pinnacle of my life will not be the white gloves of military technology. I want to be the one who makes the rules.
Hearing the name of Terror, Faraday gradually relaxed and flashed a few simple emotions in his mind. There was no shock, no regret, but only no regret.
[In view of the general environment,
Just when I was upset and ready to go to bed early, the sudden ringing of the doorbell aroused my alarm - I secretly purchased that simple apartment with my teenage savings and never told anyone, so the doorbell's There are only two possibilities ahead.
"If you don't want to be ripped into pieces, you'd better find a shady place and commit suicide as soon as possible!"
When Faraday was still a low-level middleman with no citizenship, the violent terrorist team completed many tasks for me and helped me board the military technology boat. In return, I will also ask Military Technology for some low-reward missions to reward Violent Terror and others.
I saw Faraday quickly scanning the slowly scrolling information under the tablet with his eight prosthetic eyes placed side by side on one side of his cheek, seemingly untroubled.
Seeing the elder sister Miyoko from Tsunami Defense yelling to find her immediate superior, in line with the mentality that one thing less is one thing more, the security personnel reluctantly untied the red velvet rope under the railing that was used to block the flow of people. I felt relieved after watching eight people sit down in the elevator that led directly to the interior of the bar.
"The technicians are here with the news. We blocked the signal on the entire street. You didn't have seventeen minutes after the Mobile Mobile Team and the Trauma Team cleared the perimeter."
The captain of the mobile team who was responsible for leading the team walked at the back and reported to the NCPD headquarters the scene in Yujin Bar that was like a hell on earth. Suddenly, the captain whose prosthetic eyes scanned a strong signal walked to the bar and took out a large separation chip from the hand of a corpse with a head.
When a bad intermediary is looking for tasks with appropriate risks and rewards for my unsuccessful edgewalker team, the former can actually help me go further and further in the intermediary line. Faraday feels deeply about this, because I am not that person. The worst manifestation of a symbiotic relationship.
Seventeen minutes later, in a simple apartment building in the Haywood Valley area, the middleman Giancarlo Faraday, wearing a nightgown, was lying under the bed and swiping a tablet, looking for high-quality cannon fodder that could not replace the violent terrorist team.
A few hours ago, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone under the deep steel jungle of Night City, the corpses of Arasaka employees were piled outside the morgue of the NCPD and trauma teams, and a few of them were still mutilated. Yes, it requires forensic regression to identify the deceased.
Father Sebastian Yinbara from Heywood, Wakako Okada from Westbrook, Dexter Deshawn who disappeared from the scene in the next two years because he provoked Taipingzhou, and the male king of the nightclub who has not yet been born. Rogge, the undisputed crowned king of the middlemen in Night City.
In the unique social ecology of Night City, edge walkers and middlemen are two important components of the ecology. The relationship between the two groups is not actually a mutually beneficial and win-win symbiotic relationship.
For a person who believes that he is nothing more than a piece of rotten flesh from the inside out, replacing the original weak flesh and blood limbs with a useless combat prosthetic body can even be called a transformation, but should be a glorious degradation.
...
"Hmph, I also know who Bao Terror has found as his new master, but you actually said he was touching me."
Seeing that the target was still trying to struggle, the syndicate killer withdrew the long knife with just a little force, then leaned forward and whispered into the ear of Faraday, who was kneeling on the ground: "Giancarlo Faraday, on William's behalf, attack him violently." Ask bad questions."
When the other party asked when the last time was, Miyoko slashed open the prey's strong neck with a knife, letting the blood spurt out and splash under her face. Compared with the trouble caused by washing clothes, the warmth and coldness of the same kind of blood that has not dissipated really fascinates you.
As the agent with the most enthusiasm for implanting prosthetic bodies among the group's branch in the cyberpunk world, Ogawa Weifanying's prosthetic body transformation rate reached an astonishing 40%. It cannot be said that except for the cerebellum and most other replaceable organs, you have replaced all the replaceable parts in the whole body.
