Cyberpunk: 2075

"Maxim, why did you just connect to the communication now?"

"I'm very sorry! Section Chief Tanaka, something unexpected happened just now. I was involved in the mercenary's mission and fainted. I just woke up now."

"The impact of the mercenary mission?"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Tanaka, who was naturally still working overtime in the Arasaka Building, frowned at the driver Maxim's words and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my son?"

"Nothing happened to your son Katsuo. It seems that the group of mercenaries just kidnapped their target and left without involving anyone else."

"Do you know the identity of that group of mercenaries?"

"The Tiger Claw Gang is monitoring along Japan Street. There are no two shielding prosthetics among the mercenary trio. Their identities have been confirmed. They have received the company's commission before, so they are in the company's files. All are recorded.”

"It's not surprising that some of the street mercenaries have never done any work for the company. Send me the surveillance footage."

"Yes, Chief Tanaka."

In the communication, Maxim's panicked voice was accompanied by the sound of wind, as if Maxim was on the other side,

He bowed desperately while receiving instructions. Tanaka, who was accustomed to this kind of voice, didn't pay much attention to Maxim's performance. There were too many people in Arasaka Company to count him who thought that bowing could express respect.

The street camera data provided by the Tiger Claw Gang was quickly transmitted to Tanaka's personal terminal. Tanaka was still a little curious about the mercenary mission that almost affected his sons, so he clicked to play it as soon as the transmission was completed. .

Breaking into the Tiger Claw gang's territory, Japan Street, kidnapping people and running away, this kind of courageous mercenary, let me see...:

With this idea in mind, Tanaka saw the unobstructed faces of Carl and Jack in the clear picture.

This face is...

Looking at Carl's face, Tanaka was a little surprised. Naturally, he had heard about this mercenary who was famous in the Arasaka Company in Night City. He protected Miss Haruko, and was asked by Miss Haruko to provide equivalent medical help and The mercenary made up of prosthetics, in the recorded video, even almost defeated a specialized ACPA of military technology in a duel.

How could it be him...::

This was Yu Zhong's first idea, and then Ta Wen felt ridiculous for the idea he had.

Mercenaries are mercenaries. Even the mercenaries who saved Miss Haruko and gained her temporary appreciation are just wild dogs on the streets. Taking on jobs to fill their hungry stomachs is not a matter of course. ?.

It seemed that it was indeed just a special accident.

No one is targeting him, and no one is targeting him.

Not long after receiving the first-hand information from Maxim, Tanaka saw exactly the same video in the information circulating within the company. At the same time, the last of the three mercenaries was killed because of Qilu Shiguangyi. The identity hidden by the masked face was also confirmed. He was Oliver, the last member of Carl's mercenary team.

This information collected by the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department while confirming the attack on the Tiger Claw Gang bar did not attract much attention in the Night City Arasaka Company, because the task of a mercenary on the streets is too insignificant. .

However, this information, which was not taken seriously by the employees of Night City Arasaka Company, was placed in front of the only Arasaka family member with the name of Arasaka in Night City.

"Mercenary...:"

"Mercenary."

In the Wild Wolf Bar, Karl held a cup of sweet tea and raised his glass to the middle-aged man in a suit who came to him: "For me, if you have a job, just talk about it, no need to talk too much."

"Very proud, worthy of being the mercenary KK who has become famous in Night City recently.

The middle-aged man sitting in front of Carl, with blue eyes flashing, smiled, and then looked at Oliver and Jack sitting next to Carl:

"There are two more. As a mercenary team, you are indeed one of the few outstanding people in Night City."

"Why do you talk so weirdly?"

Jack took a sip of lager and stared at the middle-aged man with flashing blue eyes: "Don't compliment us too much. Let's talk about the job. We can take the short-term job, and there are other long-term jobs. matter,

Not available. "

"Are you busy with military technology-related matters?"

The words spoken by the blue-eyed middle-aged man made Carl, Jack and Oliver's eyes freeze slightly.

"It seems you know a lot of things."

After looking deeply at the blue-eyed middle-aged man, Karl didn't particularly care about his words.

Just know that they are now doing long-term work for military technology. Anyway, even if the blue-eyed man in front of me pokes out this job, it will be messed up at most:

Although you will lose your reputation as a mercenary and have to return the deposit, it is not a big deal, not to mention that the other party said this deliberately. Most likely, they did not intend to really expose it, but just showed that they knew a lot.

"Gulu."

After taking a sip of the new sweet tea that tasted similar to iced green tea, Karl put down the can which was one-third empty: "So since you all know that we are busy, you are planning to let us do some short-term things that can still be taken care of now. Is it okay? I don’t mind if you give me a lot, but...:"

Oliver, who was standing on the side, helped Carl finish the second half of the sentence: "You have to pay the deposit first, otherwise you will run away when the mission is over, and our efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry."

The blue-eyed middle-aged man showed an intriguing smile on his face: "I don't want you to accept my mission now, but I am thinking, after you complete this job, can you come to accept my long-term mission."

"Appointment?"

Jack listened to the blue-eyed middle-aged man's words. In addition to understanding, he also had some other confusions: "Book now, aren't you worried that our mission will fail and we will die in the long-term mission of military technology?"

"I believe in your strength. It's just a small experimental experiment in the experimental department of Arasaka Night City. It won't be difficult for you."

The blue-eyed middle-aged man sat on the sofa of the Wild Wolf Bar, with his hands crossed on his raised knees. The information revealed in his words was quite amazing.

A small experimental experiment?

This is a military-grade experimental prosthesis that is very important in military technology evaluation. In the mouth of the blue-eyed middle-aged man in front of him, it is just a small trial experiment of Arasaka?

He is very arrogant, and I don’t know who is behind this blue-eyed middle-aged man.

“Let’s meet here today.”

The blue-eyed middle-aged man put down his raised feet, stood up, looked at Carl again, and walked out of the Wild Wolf Bar.

“I will contact you as soon as your mission is over.”

“Contact me, you didn’t even add the communication...

Looking at the back of the blue-eyed middle-aged man, Carl didn’t know if he saw it wrong. When the other party turned his head for the last time, he seemed to see the blue light flashing in the other party’s artificial eyes, which dimmed a little.

Is he pretending to be the same color model of Kirusu’s artificial eyes as Oliver?

The kind that changes according to emotions?
