Cyberpunk: 2075

"I think you should treat the gunshot wound in your abdomen first."

Karl, who was being watched by Chiyome, approached her, took out a Fuerkan Type 3 and threw it at her.

"You don't want to get bloody, so just go see Haruko?"

Hearing what Karl said, Chiyome caught Fuerkan Type 3 in mid-air, and then injected it directly around her wound.

"Aren't you going to take out the bullet?"

"It is only sensible to stop the bleeding and restore mobility when medical help is available."

As soon as the Erkan Type 3 was removed, Chiyo's face looked obviously better. She stared at Carl, and then handed over the phone: "Miss Haruko told me to return this to you."

"Well, thanks."

After taking the phone, Karl found that the hand that was originally holding the phone had grasped his wrist and pulled him forward.

Carl's first reaction was to stabilize his body and make no movement. The strength of his arm reversed and pulled up Chiyome who was trying to pull him forward.

"Do you want me to lend you a hand?"

Looking at Chiyome, who pulled her arm from the ground and stood up, Karl understood what she was doing.

"Check the arm by the way."

Chiyonome stared at Karl’s arm, which looked like a prosthetic arm at all: “I’ve read the information.

A mercenary helped Miss Haruko in a critical moment, and after receiving treatment, the mercenary had a pair of prosthetic hands. "

Her eyes swept across the side of Karl's wrist: "And the melee weapon that the mercenary often uses is a monomolecular line."

Chiyome was looking for traces of Karl's hands, but this latest type of artificial skin perfectly covered the traces of single molecular lines, making it impossible for Chiyome to judge based on appearance alone.

However, Karl admitted his identity very honestly: "That person is me."

"Is that true?"

Chiyome looked at Karl's face, which was the original face without any surgery or prosthetic modification, and nodded with satisfaction. What she was satisfied with was Karl's behavior: "Looking at the face, there are some things that can't be seen, nothing. Well done to you as a loyal mercenary."

"ah?"

Karl was stunned for a moment after listening to Chiyome's words.

Loyal mercenary?

What nonsense are you talking about.

Putting aside the words loyalty and mercenary, there is a natural sense of conflict. Who am I loyal to, the euro?

I entrusted you with money. It’s okay to say you are loyal to money, but listening to these words, it is obvious that I am not talking about money...

Looking at Chiyo's expression, Karl vaguely realized who she was talking about.

Couldn't it be Haruko?

Loyal to Haruko?

?

ah?

Even if he roughly understood it, Karl still couldn't keep up with Chiyome's brain.

This guy wouldn't regard his behavior when executing the commission as some kind of proof of loyalty, right?

The fact is, Chiyome did think so.

Her attitude towards Karl was obviously different, not only did the voice behind the mask reveal a sense of gentleness,

Even in his behavior, he didn't show much of the same vigilance towards Kenichi Shiro.

"Having a loyal person like you help Miss Haruko look after the delinquent and come together to find me,

But I didn’t recognize the person clearly. "

Just say yes.

Feeling the sharp gaze of Mr. Kenichi Shiro for some unknown reason, Karl now seems to have caught up with Chiyome's thoughts.

Simply put.

My respected master, he failed to protect Miss Haruko and caused Miss Haruko to be injured. He is a bad person and a derelict in his duty.

He had to be killed, and he could not let this scourge stay with Miss Haruko.

The strange mercenary helped protect Miss Haruko and received the treatment specially explained by Miss Haruko. He was a good person, a loyal person, someone he could get close to, and a companion.

hiss.::

This thinking seems, seems, maybe, probably... .．．

It’s not that extreme, it even feels okay?

It's just a bit contradictory, black and white, with no middle ground. The Japanese education she received was too rigid.

In fact, in Karl's opinion, maybe this is a special behavior for the teachings of the Arasaka ninja.

Because the tool only needs to know whether the person can be killed and whether it is a friend. Superfluous thinking is essentially unnecessary and may even involve superfluous behavior, such as the person who was privately chased by Chiyome. Like the ninjas of the Hundred, he was involved in the internal power struggle and was one of the people who could be eliminated by default.

Rather, thinking like Chiyome is the norm, while people with rational thinking like Mr. Kenichi Shiro are the exception.

Chiyome's closeness is a kind of goodwill towards Haruko Arasaka. But in other words, if you are Haruko's enemy, even if you show a slight hostility or negligence...

Thinking about Zhao Zhao's previous behavior of taking away Kenichi Shiro's life, Karl could only say that maybe the company does have a good hand in alienating people. It only takes one order or judgment to rush forward and confront the intimate person. A good dog that bites people, people always like it.

But at least, this ninja is on his side now...

Carl had no intention of breaking the agreement with Haruko. He was just thinking that since there are ninjas loyal to Haruko, there must be ninjas loyal to other factions.

Originally, Carl was thinking whether he could find some information that would be helpful to Haruko from the ninja being hunted, but now it seems that there is no need to hold back.

Carl: The target does not need to be left alive, nor does it need to leave a body to get the chip. In my judgment, he has lost his value.

Mann: Does that mean that we can do it freely?

Carl: After contacting the relevant personnel, I made a judgment.

Brown: I understand.

After the communication ended, Carl listened to the gunfire that sounded at the same time in the distance, his face calm.

This sound should be the explosion of a small missile fired by the projectile launch system in Mann's hand.

Then the gunfire sounded, which was the Saratoga submachine gun that Brown and his team were equipped with.

The distance was about 300 meters.

"It's time to go back."

Carl smiled at Chiyome: "Haruko, aren't we waiting for you?"

After saying this, Carl looked at Kenichi Shiro: "Mr. Kenichi Shiro, is that right?"

Kenichi Shiro stared at Carl, nodded first, and then shook his head.

When Carl was a little confused, he spoke.

"From now on, you are not allowed to take the initiative to send messages to the lady.'

As he said this, he glanced at Chiyo who was looking at him coldly beside Carl, and added: "Unnecessary contact with Chiyo is also not allowed."

"You are too strict, Mr. Kenichi Shiro."

"I will give you an extra 100,000 euros per month."

Carl smiled.

"No problem, Mr. Kenichi Shiro."
