Cyberpunk: 2075

The security check at the entrance to the Sapphire Green Building was not too strict. Apart from the required weapon surrender and identity scanning, Carl and his team did not undergo additional scrutiny. This level of inspection made the team members feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is not even as strict as when we were at Arasaka Tower when we were wearing our Action Team uniforms and checking people."

Oliver waved his hand, and after feeling the activities he could do while wearing a suit, he looked at the elevator that opened in front of him and stepped forward first.

The elevator opened for guests was wide enough to accommodate everyone in Carl's team, but the rest of the staff were in no hurry to get in.

Instead, he stood outside the elevator and looked at Oliver.

After Oliver's eyes scanned everywhere in the elevator, he nodded slightly towards Karl and the others. After receiving his nod, Karl and the others immediately stepped onto the elevator without further delay.

Oliver was using his Qilus optical prosthetic eye to check whether there were any unnecessary equipment in the elevator. It seemed that Kurt Hansen was quite honest when it came to treating guests.

Seeing Karl and others walking into the elevator, some guests who had also wanted to take the elevator stopped.

At this time, Karl and the others had not made any disguise on their faces, so it was not difficult to recognize them, while the KK team stayed together in an elevator.

Normal people wouldn't want to go in.

Anyway, there are elevators in other places on the side, and the elevator facing the hotel door goes up and down very quickly, so these guests are not in a hurry.

The elevator door was closed. Standing in it, feeling the elevator move upward, Karl looked at the communication messages.

"Mr. Kenichi Kazuya is still on the way. It should take another ten minutes to arrive. He said he would arrive before the time agreed with Kurt Hansen."

"Eight thirty, start on time. It's now 8:07, which means we have twenty-three minutes to wander around and enjoy a drink and a banquet?"

Jack looked at the time and said.

"There should be a lot of places to eat and drink at the banquet. If you are interested, you can go and eat a little. Just don't get drunk. If the negotiation breaks down and you have to take action, alcohol will still interfere with your judgment to some extent... Jack, even if you have an adjustable prosthetic body, you should pay more attention to it."

Listening to Karl's reminder, Jack nodded: "Don't worry Karl, I know the mission is important."

At critical moments, Jack never lets up.

As the elevator rose and stopped, the elevator door slowly opened, and the first thing that greeted them was a dazzling light.

The interior decoration of the Sapphire Green Hotel uses smooth metal surfaces and glass curtain walls. These materials cleverly reflect the light of the surrounding environment. In the environmental scenery constructed with virtual imaging technology, they jointly create a dynamic vision full of psychedelic feeling. Experience, for Karl and his companions, the light on this floor is like silk, constantly flowing, and it seems that they can catch it with their hands.

"It's so cool."

Looking at the scenery on this floor, Oliver was stunned for a few seconds and then made an evaluation using the only description he could think of.

"Colorful."

Karl nodded slightly, thinking he had an idea with Oliver.

Apart from anything else, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Kurt Hansen's aesthetics. This arrangement completely subverted several people's inherent understanding of the rough impression of the military. It is hard to believe that this scene was created by a former soldier. Hand, however, is not sure if this is the original decoration style of the hotel. Kurt Hansen may just cleverly use the existing environment and turn it into a stunning work of art.

"No wonder everyone says that the Sapphire Green Hotel is the lifeblood of that guy Kurt Hansen. Now look at it, isn't it? Such a gorgeous place must be very precious."

Jack sighed with emotion and took the lead: "Then I'll go to the left to have a look first. We'll meet up later when Kenichi and I arrive.

I first determine the surrounding environment. "

"Then I'll go to the right and first determine the position where I can escape quickly after the fight."

Oliver nodded and walked to the right. Just when Carl was about to speak, V spoke first: "I'll stay here to determine the surrounding situation. Carl, I'll leave it to you to enter the center of the banquet hall. As for communication, , you are better at it.”

"OK."

One person goes to the left, one person goes to the right, one person stays here to determine the escape route and an escape location, and the third person enters the banquet to confirm the people who are coming to the banquet. It is a very reasonable allocation.

When they came in, all the weapons were put downstairs, and Karl brought in a small knife. A fight would not be very beneficial in the Nether Dog's territory. They might have to cover Kenichi and Kazuya's escape, so let's leave one behind. It's always good to be prepared to start a fight if negotiations break down.

After separating from his companions, Karl stepped into the center of the crowd, and as he stepped, many people noticed this new guest.

"KK, it's KK!"

"It's actually KK. Has he also been invited by Hansen? That guy Hansen is really capable. I didn't expect that even KK could be invited casually. Could it be that he was invited to take charge of today's security work?"

"I don't think so. Look at what he's wearing. That suit is not suitable for fighting. He must be an invited guest... It's a bit strange. How would a mercenary interact with Hansen? Judging from his age, It’s not like I had any military friendship with Hansen.”

"Why do you care so much? After all, this is Hansen's venue today. He must have his reasons for inviting KK here. Even if something happens, Hansen will be responsible for handling it. The worst we can do is stay away so as not to be affected. That’s fine, the mercenary KK and the ghost dog, I don’t know if KK can tear the dog’s mouth open and escape.”

Amidst the whispers around him, Karl saw an acquaintance in the crowd. He immediately walked over, took a glass of champagne from the waiter next to him, and raised his glass to the acquaintance:

"Mr. Johnson, why are you here today?"

When Jason's name was called, he turned his head when he heard this very familiar voice. When he found out it was Karl, he was a little unbelievable: "Karl, why are you here?"

"I have a commission, come here and see what's going on with you, Mr. Jensen."

Karl looked at the suit Jason was wearing: "I almost didn't recognize him."

"You think I want to come."

Jason didn’t know why. He was a little nervous and at a loss during the banquet. When he saw Karl was here, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "I am the deputy director now, and I have to continue to work for the NCPD." Transactions, and some businesses are not easy to negotiate in the city. "

"Bribery or gang dealing?"

"You know and you still ask."

"Okay."

Eighty percent involve arms.

NCPD is also an official organization and cannot do business openly.

"Are you the only one here today, Mr. Jensen?"

"I am also the deputy director after all. I must need some bodyguards."

Jason said this and pointed to the distance: "Andy is here too."

"Then don't worry that you might be affected."

"What did you say?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

Karl said, looking where Mr. Jensen was pointing, and after seeing the person talking to Andy clearly, he found that there were quite a few people he knew in the venue.

"Andy, Brown."

Karl waved to the two people talking in the distance.

They are all acquaintances.
