Cyberpunk: 2075

"Guest, your fried noodles are ready."

"Well, the money has passed."

Nodding, and eating fried noodles with disposable chopsticks, Karl had already read through most of the information sent by T-BUG.

Let’s briefly summarize the key points.

First, goals.

The daughter of a company dog, eighteen years old, pretty...with four eyes, one mouth and one nose.

Hmm, quite a strange style.

Then, kidnap the prisoner.

Oh, people from the Tiger Claw Gang.

The reason is....

He wanted to kidnap her, sell her to Genting, and use her as a sex doll there.

Genting, the full name of Genting Sex Club, you can tell what this place does by listening to the name. It is the best sex center in Japan Street and even the entire Night City. Even some corporate dogs who have higher sights are loyal to it. The customer wants to sell the target to this place....

Wakako heard what Jack said yesterday that she had some background in the Tiger Claw Gang. She acted as the go-between to take on this kind of task, so she felt that there might be some complicated inside story involved.

Karl was not surprised at all about selling to Genting. Genting was the territory of the Tiger Claw Gang, so abducting people and selling them there was not surprising at all.

It's just that even within the gangs, there are divisions of territory and territories. The Tiger Claw Gang in charge of Yunding and the Tiger Claw Gang that trafficked the target belong to different bosses. It is because of this relationship that the target has not been sold yet. Genting is still in the hands of the kidnappers.

Fortunately, the two parties have not yet agreed on the money. Otherwise, if I delay this job any longer, I may have to go to Genting to do it.

It's okay to go to Yunding. If it really prevents me from saving my target, at worst I can help the Tiger Claw Gang over there to clear the place.

It's just that I have nothing to do but go to some sex club. It's really embarrassing. It's best if I don't go.

The Tiger Claw Gang that kidnapped the target was a small group. Several people had died in the past two days. There were currently twenty-one members of the team, and their residence was Kabukicho in Watson District.

The number of people is clear, the address is clear, the purpose is clear, and the reward is also clear.

This job is just waiting for Carl and the others to execute it.

I like this simple and clear life.

"When are you going to do it?"

T-BUG's communication is not over yet.

"Now."

"Now?"

Listening to the sound of noodles being sucked from the other end, T-BUG was a little unsure and asked: "But I heard the sound, are you still eating?"

"It's the last bite, I've finished it."

Karl said: "I'll walk there right away."

"Walking there?"

There was obvious hesitation in T-BUG's voice: "Where are your car and companions?"

"The car keys are with a friend, and the road is close. There may be traffic jams, so I won't drive. My companions are probably still asleep. I'm going to call while walking to see if they can wake me up. I'll go to a spot first and see. See if they can wake up before I get there."

Listening to Karl's relaxed words, as if he was talking about going to the mall, T-BUG couldn't help but ask: "What if they have been sleeping?"

"Then it won't disturb them. It's not good to wake people up."

Karl said, yawning because he got up too early: "After I finish solving the problem, ask them to pick me up and the target."

"What you are facing are twenty-one, official gang members."

"I know."

What's wrong with twenty-one people? Isn't it amazing? He has exactly one person.

"I hope you can survive this trip."

"Thank you for your kind words."

Not long after his debut, Karl faced ten Uzumaki gang members in a room and eliminated them all in a few seconds. Apparently, he didn't realize that T-BUG's words were because he was worried about the failure of the mission. This sentence was used as a blessing for some kind of habitual task, and in turn, it was thanked.

Listening to Karl's strangely polite reply, T-BUG on the other end only felt that this famous mercenary,

It seems not as reliable as imagined.

T-BUG flipped through the information about KK that he found on hand, and faced twenty-one people and planned to go on his own. Even if you had singled out ACPA before and defeated the Arasaka Special Operations Team that night, you wouldn't be able to do it. should..:

Wait a moment.

Realizing that I was habitually searching for information, something strange had been mixed in, so T-BUG took a closer look.

Then I realized that I still didn't know enough about this mercenary who I had only heard of his name but not understood in detail.

On weekdays, when he has nothing to do, he usually chooses to read books and improve his knowledge of hacking. T-BUG is obviously not interested in surfing the Internet, watching entertainment videos, so he only has an idea of ​​KK's fame, but does not understand why he is famous.

But now, after watching the video that had already spread throughout Night City, she understood.

For this guy, twenty-one people is really nothing.

However, the video of the Arasaka Special Operations Team that was dealt with last night is really new. I don’t know who took it. It looks like there was a special satellite filming the whole process. One-sided beatings, deaths, and retreats. They were all captured clearly, as if they were all focused on watching.

It shouldn't have been taken by the Arasaka Intelligence Department. According to T-BUG's understanding, those people could ask the people below to write hundreds of pages of reports by using satellites to identify their identities for just a few seconds. It would be too extravagant to film the entire process. .

But this sense of investigation has the same feeling as Operation Arasaka, which is really strange.

T-BUG looked at the latest video and couldn't figure it out.

It's unlikely that some Arasaka senior executive noticed the exchange of fire and asked the intelligence department to lock this place and film the whole process. Is it necessary to be so detailed in the duty record of the special operations force?

Moreover, after the special operations force evacuated, the video still filmed Carl's team throughout the process, and it is unknown which side the focus is on.

After thinking about it for a while, T-BUG came up with a reason that can explain it and why it is now circulated in the Night City regional network.

'It is probably filmed by someone from the military technology side, specifically to disgust Arasaka. '

Only the people from the military technology side would spend money that would not benefit the company just to disgust Arasaka.

While maintaining a call with T-BUG, Carl, who was walking on the street, was about to reach Kabushicho,

but he received a response from Jack and Oliver.

Jack: I'll be there soon.

Oliver: There is a mission, coming.

These two guys, I'm almost there, they're waking up and coming.

Then if I walk over, won't my energy be wasted? I'm so considerate that I want them to sleep a little longer.

After mumbling a few words, Carl sat on a chair on the street and waited for them. By the way, he pulled T-BUG

into the team communication.

Carl: Let me introduce, this is the hacker who will be carrying out this mission with us, T-BUG.
