Cyberpunk: 2075

"Just ended the communication?"

Karl approached under the watchful eye of Chiyoko next to the desk: "The person communicating with you seems a bit familiar."

"It's my mother."

Haruko naturally had to explain to Karl: "I have to report to her about the meeting."

report.

To your own mother, do you use words similar to those of superiors and subordinates in a company?

Karl was keenly aware of Haruko's words, but he didn't say much. He just asked: "How did the meeting go?"

"It was interrupted by the investigation of traitors and postponed, but...

Haruko smiled at Karl: "There is nothing to worry about anymore."

In other words, there is no need for Karl to come again for the subsequent meeting.

Thinking about it, this life is quite easy.

Karl recalled his trip to Arasaka Tower. He was not worried by his friends. It was as dangerous as walking into a devil's cave. He actually played a role of taking action at the critical moment, and also participated in the Adam Hammer alone. In the cleanup that can be completely solved, overall...: Everything is under Haruko's control?

"Is this the end?"

"Indeed."

Haruko nodded slightly: "Mr. Kenichi Shiro, he is already waiting for you downstairs on the 44th floor. He has prepared what you want for Carl."

"On the forty-fourth floor, don't I need the elevator to go down again?"

Karl looked back at the elevator: "It's so hard to go up and down."

Facing Karl's complaint, Haruko raised her hand slightly.

"I'm sorry for asking you to come to me and report to me."

As Haruko said this, she threw something over, and Karl caught it with quick eyesight and quick hands.

The thing he picked up was not anything special. Carl could see clearly in mid-air that it was a silver knife without a handguard. The knife was about ten centimeters long and three centimeters wide. It looked a little thin and felt quite light. , judging from the reflected bright blade surface, it is very sharp.

A pocket knife that seems like a pretty good idea?

Rather than caring about the knife itself, Karl was more concerned about the technique Haruko threw at her just now.

The technique is quite skillful and even feels natural.

Karl's eyes swept over Haruko's unretracted fingers, and he did not see calluses on the fingertips and joints.

This is somewhat unjustifiable.

The proficiency of that technique is definitely not something that can be thrown without practice, but there is no cocoon.::. Is it because girls love beauty, so do they pay attention to any special conditioning?

Putting aside his thoughts about cocoons and not asking Haruko about her skills, Karl held the handle of the knife and hid it under his palm: "A knife made of I don't know what material it is made of. It's not bad. ,

I accepted it. "

"It's more than that."

Qingzi saw that Karl only thought it was a sharp knife, and explained:

"There is a small recessed groove on the handle of this knife. If you encounter mechanical problems that are difficult to solve, Carl, you can touch the groove with your little finger while holding the knife halfway. I have With your access rights installed, you can activate it with the touch of your pinky finger.”

"Start it, what is this?"

"It contains a micro-electromagnetic pulse device, a new product developed by Arasaka in response to ESA's little moves."

Haruko naturally said something extraordinary: "The activation time is two seconds. Carl, you have two seconds to throw it at others. Its range of action has been tested and is four meters around."

There is a small EMP in the knife:

this..

Karl instantly paid attention to the knife in his hand. He had seen small EMPs. Even before coming to 2075, he had learned about EMP grenades in a game whose name sounded like a fairy tale. He also bought an EMP grenade from 2075. He is no stranger to this concept.

For example, when Mann and the others captured Jimmy Black, Jimmy Black had a small EMP, but that kind of EMP was not small. The one put in the knife is not just a reduced size that can summarize the technological content of it. .

In layman's terms, elephants live on the grassland. You can use a big boat to stuff it in, but if you try to stuff it into a refrigerator... you have to use your brain.

Karl is sure that many more of these knives will not be manufactured in Arasaka, because compared to the knives, which are delicate, small, and require the use of throws by oneself, EMP grenades are obviously more in line with Arasaka's sales interests.

"It seems that you are very satisfied, then...see you next time, Karl."

Paying attention to Carl's careful putting away the action, Haruko nodded with satisfaction and had nothing to say to Carl face to face. She just picked up the phone and shook it lightly at Carl under the gaze of Chiyome, and then buried her head in it. He took on the job of CEO of Night City.

Her mother is away, and she has to take over some of the affairs in Night City.

"See you next time Haruko."

Having said that, Karl, who actually knew that it would not be long before his phone received the message, put away the knife.

He stepped into the elevator, nodded goodbye to Chiyome, and then started going down in the elevator.

44th floor.

Kenichi Shiro has prepared his weapon.

"What should be there, what shouldn't be there, are all here."

Kenichi Shiro looked at Carl who was walking towards him, and displayed the weapons he placed next to him in the weapons warehouse and shooting range on the floor in Arasaka Tower: "From the Masamune produced by our Arasaka to the Tsunami Asura, I use my specifications to Inventory is used and you can take your pick.”

Kenichi Shiro said, but he still reminded him unusually: "Remember the battle direction you want to master.

and make sound judgments. "

"Can I take them all?"

Karl listened and looked at the weapons arranged neatly. The first thought that came to his mind was that he might be able to provide support to Mr. Jensen and the others while arming the team.

"I know your little thoughts, but if you think the weapons originating from Arasaka are circulating in the hands of the NCPD on the streets, will other companies agree?"

Kenichi Shiro saw Karl's thoughts and reminded: "If you don't want to kill your friend, you'd better consider that there are not many things in this city that can be hidden from others."

He was also present during the original investigation mission that included Jason, so he naturally knew the relationship between Carl and the NCPD officers.

"Is this so..."

Putting away his extra thoughts, Karl understood that the only weapons he could choose were the weapons of his own team, because on the surface, this was a reward.

So, as for weapons...

After Karl glanced around the weapons, he had already made his decision.

"Can you let me do a test firing?"

"This is the shooting range."
