Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

A week later, the Afterlife Bar.

A group of mercenaries were gathering together, staring intently at the hanging large-screen TV.

Hello everyone, my name is Eric, and you are watching WNS News. On the TV screen, the host of WNS News was presenting the evening news.

During a large-scale presentation a week ago, star mayoral candidate Jefferson was assassinated by unknown forces, and the Arasaka task force repelled them with strict organization and superb military technology. After that, Mr. Yorinobu released a statement on the matter issued a public statement condemning the perpetrators’ shameless behavior and vowed to launch swift retaliation.”

The scene turned and Yorinobu Arasaka appeared on the screen.

If anyone dares to attack politicians supported by Arasaka, I can guarantee that we will cut off your black hands and sprinkle a pinch of salt on them! Arasaka Yorinobu's hoarse voice revealed ferocity.

Hahahaha. The mercenaries laughed after hearing this.

Do you think I've learned the lesson, 'We'll cut off your evil hands and sprinkle a pinch of salt on you'. Strong Man A imitated Arasaka Yorinobu's speech in the news in a sinister tone.

Everyone laughed even more.

Bob smiled, then noticed the yellow figure that had just entered the door of the afterlife, Yo! Boy David, we are here!

Hey! Bob. David greeted him, and then looked at the big guys surrounding him, Hello, I'm David Martinez.

Hahaha! You are too serious! Boy! Strong Man A laughed with tears in his eyes and patted David on the shoulder.

David also smiled and said to Bob: What's the matter with calling me here? I'm still in a hurry to go home.

What's the rush? Let me take a look at your legs first. Bob patted David's thigh hard, and there was a metallic sound at the contact point. It's not bad. How does it feel to have the new prosthetic body?

Not bad, the rejection reaction is very weak. David took a sip of the drink handed by the strong man A next to him.

That's good. I called you here this time to tell you that you are already well-known in the cyberpunk circle, especially Okada Wakako. She likes you very much and you will soon be prosperous! Bob said. Ya smiled and patted David on the shoulder.

Let me introduce you to some of my old teammates. They are...

At the same time, in a dark basement.

Hacker Arasaka, who was wearing a hacker suit, was lying on a hacker chair and connected to the Night City network through a deep dive interface. Countless dazzling 0s and 1s flashed across the computers next to him.

After a moment of trembling, he came to his senses and disconnected the link behind his head.

Sir, the data of one of the product experimenters has been seriously damaged. I suspect it was deliberately destroyed. Hacker Arasaka said, with a yellow glimmer in his eyes.

Yes, please give me some time. I will do my best to recover the data. After saying that, the communication was disconnected.

Hacker Arasaka took off his hacker uniform, sorted the information on the table and left.

A hint of fragrance touched his olfactory neurons.

Who is it?! He suddenly looked at the shadow in the corner.

The golden monomolecular line was thrown out and headed straight for the Arasaka hacker's face.

Damn it! He rolled onto the ground in a panic, barely dodging the blow, and then crawled toward the wall next to him.

A slender figure flashed out of the shadows, raising his arm to swing the second whip.

Pa Hacker Arasaka slapped his hand hard on an inconspicuous bulge on the wall. A secret door with the same color as the wall quickly opened, and he rushed inside while crawling on the ground.

Ahh!! The monomolecular line hit his calf, severely cutting off a piece of flesh, and blood spurted out. However, the Arasaka hacker took advantage of this moment to hide in. The secret door was opened the moment he entered. Close quickly.

Being hindered, Lucy's first reaction was to use hacking techniques to pry open the door, but she soon discovered that this was in vain - the door was a completely mechanical structure, and in the highly developed cyberspace It is harder to encounter it in the world than to encounter a pig that has not received antibiotics.

Lucy swung the monomolecular line towards the mechanical door, but it could only leave a series of ravines. At this speed, it was already dawn when the door was destroyed.

what to do? Give up? But in this case, the next assassination will be extremely difficult, and it is likely to be noticed by Arasaka's upper management; use force to open the door? If the hacker inside calls for support, he will be in a very dangerous situation.

On one side was his own safety at present, and on the other side was David's safety in the future. Lucy hesitated for a moment.

Let me do it. The sudden male voice startled her. Just as she was about to throw out the single molecular line, she realized that the person coming was Tommy.

The Spartan walked to the door, took a small step back, then raised his leg and kicked it out like lightning.

Bang! The solid mechanical door could not withstand the impact like being hit by a cannonball. It flew backwards into the room, and then hit the wall heavily, leaving a deep crater.

Arasaka Hacker looked at Tommy who walked in in horror. He was holding biofoam in his hand to stop his bleeding.

Tommy grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and slammed him against the wall behind him. Arasaka Hacker fainted immediately.

What are you going to do with him? Lucy asked Tommy as he walked out of the room.

Tommy threw Hacker Arasaka onto the hacker chair, connected him to his submersible interface, and said, He has what I want in his head.

【Ellie. 】

[Understood, hacking in progress. 】Ellie sneaked into the mind of Arasaka hacker, searched for and downloaded information related to bubbleback and shadow.

That day at the auto repair shop, you said you wanted to give me an answer. Tommy's words reminded Lucy of the information she had been asked to obtain.

I can't tell you, it's too dangerous for you. Tommy turned off the reflective surface of the helmet, revealing his face, and then stared at Lucy and said: And, your origin, why did you suddenly leave the team, why Tanaka will die suddenly, why you want to kill this hacker, I have no idea. Tommy clearly expressed his distrust of Lucy to her.

Lucy said nothing. She could understand Tommy's distrust of her, but she herself would never believe in such a mysterious person.

[I have obtained the information, but the last one is still missing. ] The feeling of cold liquid pouring into his head told him that Ellie was back.

It's time for me to leave. Do you need me to help you get rid of him? Regular crime methods will leave clues for Arasaka. ONI's experience has made him more proficient in this area.

Lucy hesitated, then nodded slightly.

Tommy then started to use his hands, tearing the unconscious Arasaka hacker into pieces like a piece of paper.

[Hey, that’s disgusting. After the war is over, you can become a butcher. ] Ellie sighed.

[That will have to wait until the war is over. 】

After saying goodbye to Lucy, Tommy left here and disappeared into the endless darkness.
