Start in Night City

The fact that the son of the legendary Andrew "Old Snake" Wayland is willing to work for Rogge is enough to show that Rogge is not a mean person.

From another perspective, anyone who has cheated Rogge may really be a sinkhole.

…

Night falls.

Elsewhere in Japan Street, a night of carnival has just begun.

But this Shinto shrine located in North Oak District is deserted.

There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and it was only half an hour before a car passed by on the road.

The torii gate of the shrine is open.

But there are two surveillance cameras placed on the left and right of the torii gate, monitoring the situation at the door from all directions.

In the middle of the camera, there is also a hidden automatic turret.

It is dormant at the moment.

But once alerted, it will start immediately and pour out a torrent of metal mercilessly towards the intruder.

Su Xiao, who had already put on Falcion, quietly approached from outside.

Because the optical camouflage has been activated.

Su Xiao is now invisible, but not completely invisible.

Because it changes the brightness or color of the clothing itself to achieve the effect of integrating with the surrounding environment, rather than becoming invisible in the true sense.

So if you look carefully at where he is, you will still see an abrupt, distorted blur of air.

certainly.

If you hide in the shadows, you won't be able to spot it easily.

In a short time, Su Xiao was close to the outer buildings of the shrine.

He stepped on the wall and used the force to jump.

The whole person rose rapidly and leaped into the air.

Landed on the roof of the building.

Half squatting on the roof, Su Xiao looked down.

In front of him was a courtyard surrounded by several buildings.

The courtyard is spacious, elegant and quiet.

If it is daytime, there will be an endless stream of tourists here.

But now, there are only the Tiger Claw Gang standing guard and patrolling.

The building under his feet should be a shoushui house.

It is a place used to cleanse hands and mouth.

Directly opposite him, at the other end of the courtyard, are the worship hall (where people worship and pray), the coin hall (where coins and silks are enshrined), and the main hall (where the gods live).

Use the tactical eyepiece built into the helmet to scan the entire shrine.

Soon, Su Xiao found the red humanoid silhouette labeled as Ken.

The location is in a room in the worship hall.

But Su Xiao did not go there immediately, but decided to go to the monitoring room located in the social affairs office and kill everyone inside.

If only he could kill him unconsciously.

Then Wakako and the Tiger Claw Gang both know that there is probably something to do with Rogge behind this matter.

Since Rogge didn't want to be thought of her, Su Xiao just kept doing the whole thing.

Simply disguise it as a small-scale gang conflict.

Disguise Ken as a fish in the pond who was accidentally affected.

The social affairs office is right next to the water house.

Su Xiaocong

He jumped off the roof of the water house and took three steps at a time before arriving at a side door of the social office.

Open the door, quickly get in, and then close the door behind you.

The shrine office is the place where clergy handle shrine affairs.

The so-called handling of shrine affairs refers to handling formal worship requests, handling donation requests, preparing for festivals, etc.

After entering the door, there is an aisle that turns right.

Compared with the elaborate decoration outside the shrine, this aisle looks much inferior.

Not only was it dirty, there was also a lot of randomly thrown garbage scattered on the ground.

Just as Su Xiao closed the door, a member of the Tiger Claw Gang who had finished his shift and was about to return to the dormitory to rest came from the aisle.

This Tiger Claw gang member had been watching the surveillance for a whole day, and everything he looked at seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

He yawned and wished he could go back to sleep right away.

But before he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall and was knocked back two steps.

He was stunned for a moment.

Then he was shocked to see a figure in silver armor appear where there should have been nothing.

He subconsciously wanted to scream.

But the next second.

A cold light flashed.

His neck was almost completely cut open.

Blood splattered.

The body fell limp.

Su Xiao lowered his head and glanced at himself, who had already revealed himself.

Then throw the body into the trash can.

This is the flaw of the optical camouflage carried by Falcion.

If you initiate an attack on your own initiative, or suffer a collision/attack.

It will appear.

This problem is currently unsolved.

Even the most advanced optical camouflage implants developed by various giant companies are the same.

After the optical camouflage effect is released, the nanocomputer on the clothing needs to re-acquire the surrounding environment information, which requires a buffer time of about 60 seconds.

Or it can also be said to be the cooling time.

However, Su Xiao did not stay where she was and waited, but continued to walk in with long strides.

Because he already knew it through scanning.

At the end of the corridor is the room where the shrine staff receives visitors.

There is no one there now.

On the right is the control room.

There are only three Tiger Claws.

Su Xiao opened the door of the monitoring room.

There were three members of the Tiger Claw Gang inside, watching the surveillance camera.

When they heard the sound of the door opening behind them, they all turned their heads in confusion.

Then I saw two rows of small launch holes rising on Su Xiao's shoulders on both sides.

Puff puff--

Dozens of rounds of smart shotguns, with clearly visible tail smoke, sieved the three Tiger Claws who were caught off guard in the control room.

Walking to the surveillance equipment, Su Xiao called up all the surveillance records, deleted them all, and turned off all the cameras in the shrine.

Then, he took out a delayed detonation bomb and placed it under the monitoring equipment.

After coming out of the surveillance room, he entered the room where the clergy received tourists and planted the bomb.

Then he opened the window of the social affairs office and jumped out.

…

In a room in the worship hall.

A woman wearing a black vest, military trousers and military boots was wearing a pair of boxing gloves and beating a sandbag crazily.

The sandbag looked very heavy.

But he was beaten violently by a woman.

The fair skin was covered with a fine layer of sweat.

His chest rose and fell violently.

Picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

boom!

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded outside the worship hall.

The earth shook.

I couldn't hold the mineral water steady and fell from my hand.

Wet a large area on your body.

Ken was shocked and subconsciously squatted on the ground.

Carefully discern the situation outside.

What can be heard is that in addition to the explosion that just sounded, there are also the chaotic footsteps and shouts of the Tiger Claw Gang who were alerted.

"There was an explosion. Could it be an attack by a rival gang?"

Ken knew that the enemy of the Tiger Claws was the Maelstrom Gang.

Because the Tiger Claw Gang not only occupies Japan Street, the most developed entertainment area in Night City, but also extends its hand to the Watson District and takes the Kabuki District under its control.

The local snakes in Watson District, the Whirlpool Gang, were very dissatisfied with this.

The conflict between the Whirlpool Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang has broken out not once or twice.

Of course, it is still very rare to directly attack the opponent's stronghold like this, even taking out explosives.

But no matter what, since this stronghold has been attacked, Ken doesn't plan to stay any longer.

She has not officially joined the Tiger Claw Gang, and there is no need to work for the Tiger Claw Gang.

Ken picked up his "Ajax" kinetic energy assault rifle from the weapons rack in front of the wall.

First remove the magazine and make sure it is full.

Then reload the magazine.

He was ready to bend down and leave here.

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the room quickly from outside. Ken didn't even think about it. The muscle memory she had developed as a mercenary for many years made her instinctively raise her gun and shoot.

A series of bullets were quickly fired towards the opponent.

What shocked her was that the opponent didn't even try to dodge, he rushed towards her and then punched her.

Bang!

Ken felt as if his abdomen had been hit by a heavy truck.

Similar.
