Cyberpunk: 2075

Under the guidance of Kenichi Shiro, Carl approached the mansion he had been to once, and before he stepped into the mansion, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him closely.

The source of the sight was...

Carl followed the sight that made him a little uncomfortable, and his eyes fell on the left side of the house, where he saw a figure,

whose whole body was covered with smooth metal armor, staring at him.

Armor? 'Carl thought to himself.

Metal armor like this is really rare.

But soon, he realized that his judgment was wrong.

Carl's eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked carefully. The streamlined armor covering the other person not only showed the outline of muscles, but also exuded the cold luster of metal. It was not a close-fitting armor, but more like the result of precise prosthetic transformation-a metal skin that resembled real muscles.

Looking more closely, he found that the man had a burly body of about two meters tall, and his face was covered by a mask in the shape of a ghost.

Through the gap between the eyes of the mask, a pair of blood-red eyes flashed red.

Looking at each other, the eyes were very sharp, like a knife, piercing through the space and piercing straight into Carl's eyes. Unintentionally looking at the eyes for a long time, Carl looked away and looked at another part of his body, and found that the man's arm had a clear lower bulge. According to Carl's experience, it should be installed with a "praying mantis knife". Looking down again, Carl found that there was a semi-elliptical bulge at the joint of the man's leg. This leg modification similar to that of cats is...

"Claw", a prosthesis developed by imitation, which can reduce the sound of the feet when people walk or run.

Praying mantis knife, claw, plus the skin and muscle modification of the whole body... Cyborg?

The word cyborg refers to the fusion of human and electronic machinery, also known as mechanized people or modified people.

In the past, this word was usually used to refer to individuals who had undergone mechanized transformation. However, as time passed, especially in today's era when prosthetic transformation has become common, the word "cyborg" has a more specific meaning in the slang of the streets and alleys.

Cyborg, now the word usually refers to a specific group of people who have undergone full-body Borg, full-body mechanization and weaponization transformation, almost indistinguishable from robots.

In 2076, there are many people with full-body prosthetic transformation, such as the star Lizzie Weisz, who is a full-body prosthetic cyborg. However, there is a difference between ordinary prosthetic transformation and full-body weaponized prosthetic transformation, just like the difference between Lizzie Weisz and Adam Heavy Hammer.

The former is just a singer who can be easily defeated by any famous mercenary on the street, while the latter is a legendary existence that can be hailed as a legend if they can compete with him in battle for a period of time.

The person that Carl saw now was obviously transformed all over. He was what street lingo called a fully weaponized cyborg.

Mantis blade, claws, and the metal appearance that could easily sneak into the dark city at night, is he a ninja?

This overly classic configuration, in Carl's impression, only Arasaka's ninjas could match it.

When Carl was looking at the cyborg, Kenichi Shiro noticed that he stopped and looked back, then followed his line of sight to see the person. Kenichi Shiro subconsciously wanted to introduce Carl, but before he spoke, he remembered what he had just decided, so he held back the words.

However, he did not introduce Carl, but an "acquaintance" took the initiative to help.

"Boy, it seems that you are very leisurely. You even have time to observe the guards before meeting someone. "These words sounded particularly familiar,

but the tone of the voice was completely different.

Carl followed that line of sight and saw a middle-aged man with black hair and a pompadour standing at the door of the mansion, looking at him with a look that was very familiar to Carl. The look was full of a strong sense of threat and tyranny, so familiar that Carl almost couldn't believe it after blinking and recognizing this acquaintance.

"Adam Hammer? !"

Faced with this image that was completely different from his memory - no coldness of a mechanical body, no threat of weaponization of the whole body, no tall body, but just a middle-aged man with flowing black hair and a handsome face, Carl couldn't believe his subconscious feeling, but his lips couldn't help but spit out the name.

"You can recognize me now, you are smarter than I thought, kid. "

Adam Heavy Hammer, the guy with only his head left on his body, unexpectedly did not wear his iconic dragoon modified prosthetic armor today, but showed up as a handsome middle-aged man. Although his appearance has changed, the arrogance and tyranny he exudes remains the same.

Adam Heavy Hammer appeared, and Carl's attention naturally shifted from the guard to him. However, looking at Adam Heavy Hammer now, Carl felt more and more uncomfortable.

After getting used to Adam Heavy Hammer's other appearance, looking at his current middle-aged handsome man appearance, to be honest, it's disgusting.

"You know you can't be beaten to pee in your pants, so you changed to a prosthetic that is more suitable for peeing in your pants?"

Carl used the words he said in the elevator when he and Adam Heavy Hammer were cleaning up Arasaka as the beginning to ridicule Adam Heavy Hammer.

"Do you think that you are qualified to speak to me like this because you took advantage of my carelessness two days ago and destroyed the fur of a person who usually uses a prosthesis?"

Adam Heavy Hammer frowned, and a very dangerous meaning appeared in his eyes.

"I don't know if I am qualified to say that, but if you want to fight me, Mr. Adam Heavy Hammer, you must at least change your prosthesis, at least not use this flesh and blood body that is not developed by biotechnology."

It's not that Carl looks down on the current Adam Heavy Hammer. Relying on his years of accumulated combat experience, Adam Heavy Hammer is quite strong even with such a body. It's just that this strength may be okay to deal with street people, and it is not impossible to win against ordinary cyber psychopaths, but facing Carl...

An Adam Heavy Hammer who has no weapons on his body and even no combat prosthesis, Carl really doesn't think he will lose.

"Boy..."

Adam Heavy Hammer obviously knew this, but he didn't show any sign of weakness. Just as the atmosphere between the two people gradually became tense, the door of the mansion was opened from the inside, and Chiyo walked out.

She glanced at the people present and nodded slightly.

"Please come in, everyone. Mrs. Michiko and Miss Haruko are waiting for you."
