Cyberpunk: 2075

"Be honest!"

Under the escort of two Arasaka operations personnel equipped with military ICE protective equipment, the controlled man in a blue-eyed suit was taken to a specialized isolation detention room.

Karl watched the blue-eyed man in a suit and the Arasaka operations personnel who had imprisoned him go away. He turned to Kenichi Shiro who was approaching and asked, "Have you finished handling the matter downstairs, Mr. Kenichi Shiro?"

Kenichi Shiro, who was wearing a red and black suit without any wrinkles or blood stains, just nodded calmly when faced with Karl's inquiry without saying a word. Seeing his appearance, Karl understood something:

"It looks like the cleaning downstairs was pretty brutal."

"To say tragic may not be enough to describe it."

V, Jack and Oliver came over. V's combat uniform was stained with blood. It looked like he had directly killed many people in previous actions. When he approached Karl, he continued what he had said before: "Almost all the people in the first team were wiped out, but more than half of the staff survived."

More than half... Even if those who die are a group of middle-level people who can be quickly replaced by their subordinates, this is still a big loss for Arasaka.

"Have you identified the person who disrupted the power supply?"

Karl looked at Mr. Kenichi Shiro again, to which Mr. Kenichi Shiro responded: "Are the employees who belong to Arasaka in the power distribution room...

Think about it, if the personnel in the power distribution room hadn't cut off the power supply on the floor themselves, how could ordinary personnel have cut off the power supply to the entire Arasaka Tower floor without even the operational troops responding.

"The identity of the attacker this time... Oh, this should be outside the scope of my mission, I'd better not ask."

Karl looked at the banquet hall where the banquet hall was gradually announcing the end as Kenichi Shiro and V arrived and ushered the people to leave. He crossed his hands and said, "Anyway, this matter is also your internal matter, Mr. Kenichi Shiro, right?

Kenichi Shiro neither admitted nor denied it. His eyes passed over the man in a blue-eyed suit who was being escorted slowly out of the banquet hall. In the communication device, he briefly ordered other personnel to watch along the way, and then turned to Karl, changing the subject calmly: "Your team performed the mission very well this time. It can be said that it exceeded my expectations. It was my mistake to think that your decision was not needed before."

Although he changed the topic a bit abruptly, what Kenichi Shiro said still made Karl open his eyes in surprise.

He heard something.

Mr. Kenichi Shiro admitted his mistake?

Darling, ever since Carl met Kenichi Shiro, his impression of Kenichi Shiro was that he was a stone-faced guy who always had a rigid face and was never obedient when speaking. Carl never thought that Kenichi Shiro could actually say this to him. A kind of words that actively admits mistakes and also realizes one's own mistakes.

According to the inherent impression, Kenichi Shiro shouldn't say with a cold face that you did a good job this time, give you more money, and then you can leave?

What did V and the others do to allow Kenichi Shiro to say this?

When Karl was surprised, Kenichi Shiro turned to V and others, or to V. His eyes looked at V, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "You have quite good potential. If you have the intention, don't If you are a mercenary, you can try to come to me. You are a person worthy of training. I am short of talents like you. I can teach you personally. "

?

Seeing Kenichi Shiro saying such words to V quite pleasantly, Carl subconsciously wiped his eyes.

Karl has not forgotten that when he borrowed Kenichi Shiro's car, he said he was going to pick up a friend. After investigating his social circle, Kenichi Shiro made a rather disdainful evaluation of this. He remembered what Kenichi Shiro said at the time: "As an ordinary wanderer, you really make friends with everyone."

However, since then, including the original assignment note, V and Kenichi Shiro have only met twice. How come after the second meeting, Kenichi Shiro's attitude has changed so much? You don’t look down on it at all, but you admire it very much and plan to train V?

Something's wrong, is Kenichi Shiro still the same person?

Suspicion arose in his heart, but when faced with Kenichi Shiro's behavior of recruiting members of his team, Carl responded immediately:

"Hey, Kenichi Shiro, what do you mean? If you are short of people, you won't look for my friends.'

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and vigilance in Carl's words, and he was obviously confused about Kenichi Shiro's intentions. His eyes were locked on Kenichi Shiro, as if he wanted to find answers and flaws in the other person's expression.

But no matter how Carl looked at it, Kenichi Shiro was still the same Kenichi Shiro. What he said was completely sincere, "People with potential should not be buried on the streets."

Kenichi Shiro glanced at Karl: "Compared to your personality, he is obviously more worthy of training. He has room to go further in protecting and assassinating personnel."

Listening to the argument between Carl and Kenichi Shiro, Oliver and Jack looked at V. They didn't quite understand why Kenichi Shiro suddenly took a fancy to V's potential and planned to train V.

But compared to Carl, who didn't see the scene below, Oliver and Jack understood it as soon as they recalled the battle at that time.

In the battle downstairs, Kenichi Shiro didn't take any action during the whole process, he just stood there, and the person who was the main force was undoubtedly V who opened the Sianwei Stan and carried out personnel cleaning with the thermal samurai sword in his hand, and in the darkness The appearance of V during the battle... ． .

Oliver and Jack noticed similarities.

V's combat method is very similar to that of the Arasaka ninjas, which is to use prosthetic bodies such as Sean Westan that allow people to have high mobility and reflexes to approach others, and then use the sword in their hands to kill them, especially when At that time, when V was still wearing an Arasaka combat uniform, he really looked like an Arasaka ninja carrying out extremely efficient killings among the crowd.

So, Kenichi Si saw that V’s fighting style was similar to his own, and thought V was worth training?

But in the impression of Oliver and Jack, Kenichi Shiro has a personal disciple, the Chiyome who is currently protecting Miss Arasaka, but now she has fallen in love with V.:

Is it because V's potential is good enough that Kenichi Shiro is happy to see him, or is it because he has lost his ability to practice the tuba and is ready to practice the trumpet?

Oliver and Jack didn't understand, but they knew that the words of Carl and Kenichiro could not decide the matter. The person who could really make the decision on Kenichiro's recruitment was...

Almost at the same time, the four of them looked at V who was listening in a daze and didn't quite understand.

V himself is the one who can decide his own path.
