"Who is it? The company dogs and those NCPD again? Didn't they give up here long ago?"

Hearing that someone was invading Taiping Continent, Placid's already creepy face became a bit more ferocious again.

He has a strong Haitian accent and is usually taciturn. He only speaks when necessary, but every time he speaks, he is accompanied by an aura of danger and threat.

The members of the Voodoo Gang who were frightened by the momentum shook their heads tremblingly: "No, according to the pictures sent back, the intruder is a cyber madman who has transformed his whole body into a prosthetic body."

"Cyber ​​madman!?"

Placid's voice suddenly became louder, frightening the members who came to report to take a step back, fearing that the strong man would turn his anger on himself out of anger.

Realizing that he seemed a little emotionally unstable, Placid took a deep breath and put on his poker face again.

The more urgent the situation, the more calm you must be. Emotions cannot solve the problem, only rationality can.

"Since he is a cybermaniac, just go ahead and paralyze his prosthetic body and neural network. Have you even forgotten this?"

They all use this trick when fighting against enemies and cybermaniacs. The Voodoo Gang may not be powerful in the real world, but in cyberspace, they are definitely one of the strongest.

Even network surveillance that specializes in protecting data fortresses and preventing illegal intrusions cannot eradicate them.

As long as the enemy's prosthetic body is paralyzed and their neural network is burned, even the enemy who is extremely powerful in the real world will be affected.

Unless the enemy is a native without a built-in brain-computer interface or prosthetic body, so that he will not be affected by the online world. But how can a native without any prosthetic implants be able to defeat the transformation of a prosthetic body? Where are people?
There are no superpowers in this world, everything is transformed by technology.

The member who reported was a little aggrieved by Placid's reprimand. Didn't he think of this?The key is that it can’t be done!

"We have never seen the enemy's ICE, and there is no information in the database. There is no way to invade it."

"what!?"

Hearing this, Placid was really surprised. The Voodoo Gang had even cracked military-grade ICE. How could there be an ICE that they didn't even understand?

But seeing that this member didn't look like he was lying, Placid had no choice but to believe the information.

"What the hell, why would a guy like this come to Taipingzhou?"

If they cannot invade the opponent's neural network and prosthetic body, then they have lost their sharpest fangs and can only use painless physical attacks to stop them.

But the opponent has a speed that can only see afterimages with prosthetic eyes, and a punch that can blow someone to pieces. Using physical attacks is completely asking for trouble.

It was obvious that the other party was a specially modified mechanical cyborg, like Adam's Hammer.

And if their network hackers use physical attacks, it is almost equivalent to using the least powerful force to resist the enemy's strongest force.

But if they were asked to give up Taipingzhou, it would be absolutely impossible. Their family business and plans were all carried out here, and it was by no means a matter of giving up.

No matter what the enemy is, you must fight it.

"I'm going to find Bridget. You can continue to crack the other party's ICE and contact the other party again to see if the other party can communicate."

Placid gave the order. The other party's killing was only aimed at their gang, and it did not seem to be the work of a cyber madman. Maybe he had self-awareness.

If it can be solved through communication, that would be the best. If it cannot be communicated, then they are not easy to mess with.

There are hundreds of cyber hackers in their gang, but they can't fight against just one person?It would be better to just stand there and wait to die.

They have firmly maintained Taipingzhou's independence under the attacks of the company, NCPD, and network surveillance. This is something that no other gang has done.

"Yes!"

The reporting members nodded heavily, and then informed the other members of Placid's order. When the enemy attacked, they would once again defend the peace of Taipingzhou.

And Placid also quickly rushed to where Maman Bridget was.

Mama Bridget is the leader of the Voodoo Gang and a skilled network hacker. Her body has been deeply modified to defeat anyone who dares to challenge her.

Moreover, she is not the kind of leader who just gives orders and lets others do the dirty work. She will take the most dangerous tasks on herself and is ready to risk her life for her subordinates at any time.

Everyone in the Voodoo Gang trusts her, and of course, their strength.

On the other side, Xia Yu continues to annihilate the community base established by the Voodoo Gang in Taipingzhou. Most of the members here are low-level members and are not core network hackers.

They don't even know how to intrude into the Internet, so they rush forward with guns in hand and fight desperately.

Bang!
After punching a guy with a gorilla arm on it and trying to fight in close combat, Xia Yu shook off the plasma on his hand.

Thanks to the tactical goggles on Raiden's face, he was not afraid of plasma splashing into his eyes.

After killing all the members of the Voodoo Gang who rushed up, Xia Yu walked towards the leader of this stronghold. It was he who commanded these members to come forward and die.

The leader watched helplessly as this murderous white demon killed all the members in the stronghold. At this moment, he was still walking towards him, and he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

He was so frightened that he backed up with his hands on the ground, until his back was against the wall. He could no longer retreat, and then he kowtowed in panic and begged for mercy.

"No, don't kill me. I still have children at home waiting for me to feed them! I can't die!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu stood in front of the leader with a knife. He did not swing the knife to kill him immediately, but asked: "So? If you don't want to die, you can let others die at will?"

"I……"

"Although I know this is the general trend, since I have chosen to do this, I should accept death with dignity."

This stronghold is a stronghold for manufacturing drugs. Money is needed to maintain a gang. Since it is a gang, it is natural to do whatever comes with money.

Faced with the questioning, the leader was speechless. Just as he was about to struggle again, a tiny arc of electricity suddenly appeared all over his body, and then a stream of data lit up in his eyes.

"Hello, we have heard what you just said. It seems that you are not a cyberpsycho with too many prosthetics. Then maybe we can talk."

The voice was still the same, but the tone had changed. Someone was using the leader's body to convey the words.

"What are we talking about? Are we talking about letting you go?"

Xia Yu stroked the silver-white blade stained with bright red and replied in a playful tone.

"Yes, that's what we're talking about."

Faced with Xia Yu's provocation, the top members of the Voodoo Gang said seriously: "We don't know who sent you, but maybe we can talk."

"Everyone knows that the current situation in Taipingzhou is beneficial to the city government and suitable for the survival of Taipingzhou residents. No one wants to solve the problem..."

"Because they just want to control the problem."

Xia Yu suddenly interrupted the other party's words, and then without waiting for the other party to speak again, he slashed the leader's head in two with his sword.

The skull slowly slid down along the incision, and then fell to the ground with a clatter. The bright red blood seeped into the ground and blended into the land.

Xia Yu stared at the slowly seeping blood and silently added the next sentence.

"After all, in Night City, it's much easier to control problems than to solve them."

"Tsk!"

With a slight click of his tongue, Xia Yu suppressed other thoughts that emerged in his mind. He came to improve his lightning proficiency, not to help Taipingzhou.

Xia Yu shook off the blood on the silver-white sword and turned around to leave the stronghold.Regarding his mass killing, the residents of Taipingzhou did not hesitate to come to stop him. Although these residents had tough folk customs, they were also very aware of current affairs.

Anyway, it's none of their business how the gangs are, as long as they can survive, that's enough.

As Xia Yu advanced, the outer strongholds were being reduced one by one until he reached the inner perimeter.

I don't know if the news has been received. After Xia Yu removed a few of the inner strongholds, the remaining people seemed to have evacuated.

The stronghold was in a mess, and it could be seen that these people evacuated in a hurry.

After a little thought, you can figure out the reason. The inner stronghold is different from the outer stronghold. The members here are already the real core members of the Voodoo Gang.

It is equivalent to everyone being a useful network hacker. Hackers are not like combatants. They require not only good skills, but also high intelligence.

Only by having both, can you become a cyber hacker.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to kill these precious network hackers at will. Only by evacuating them in time can the losses be minimized.

After thinking of this, Xia Yu did not look for other strongholds, but went straight to the Voodoo Gang's lair.

Since it was an evacuation, they must have all evacuated back to their nests, just in time to catch them all.

The Voodoo Gang's lair is also an unfinished building, but this unfinished building looks quite luxurious on the outside. It should be a facility that is about to be completed.

But as the developer left, the facility, which was about to be completed, was abandoned here. It was then occupied by the Voodoo Gang and transformed into a stronghold headquarters.

Looking at the entrance of the headquarters, Xia Yu stepped in without worrying about any traps.

After entering the stronghold, Xia Yu looked around and saw rows of ice water bathtubs filled with ice cubes inside. This was a cooling facility needed by hackers to penetrate deeply into the online world.

When going deep into the cyber world, a hacker's body will heat up rapidly. If no cooling preparation is implemented, the body will not be able to bear it. If it is ignored, the body will easily be scrapped, which will then cause the brain nerves to be burned.

High-end hackers all have their own hacking chairs and cooling suits, while hackers without money can only use this simple ice water bath to cool down.

In "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker", Qiwei and Lucy in Mann's team once used an ice water bathtub, which was a welfare scene.

The rich have their own solutions, and the poor have their own solutions.

While Xia Yu was looking inside the stronghold, rows of turret machine guns suddenly rose up all around, and the muzzles of the guns were already pointed at the intruders at the door.

Even though this is the stronghold headquarters of his own gang, it is obvious that there is no shortage of precautions.

Bang bang bang...!
In an instant, the muzzles of the rows of turret machine guns lit up with continuous fire, and then terrifying firepower poured out.

This was a real hail of bullets. Countless bullets fell like raindrops, easily breaking the floor and the nearby ice-water bathtub.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, flooding Xia Yu's place.

Continuous gunfire echoed in this small stronghold, until the muzzles of all the machine guns began to glow red and hot, and the pouring bullets slowly stopped.

When the dust settled, where all the guns were aimed, a figure slowly walked out.

"Is this your resistance?"

Xia Yu walked out of the smoke and swept the dust on his body. Under the bullets all over the sky, there was not a single bullet hole or even a trace on his body.

"superficial."

Thunder and Lightning's defense is not something that just bullets can break through. Even if he stands still and lets the opponent shoot with guns and weapons for a day and a night, he will not be affected in any way.

Seeing that the trap set by her side was useless, Maman Bridget appeared from behind the scenes, followed by Placid and other remaining members of the Voodoo Gang who came here to take refuge.

Maman Bridget is an ambitious and ruthless woman who pursues her dreams tirelessly, eager to exceed her limits and reach the unknown.

She attempts to break through the obstacles of the black wall, cooperate with AI outside the black wall, and control the online world.

Seeing Xia Yu approaching with a knife, Bridget did not show a panicked expression. She just looked at Xia Yu and said coldly: "White devil, you still managed to get here after all."

"White Devil?"

Hearing this nickname, Xia Yu paused: "Are you talking about me?"

"You don't exist in my database, including company and network monitoring. I can't find any information about you at all, and I don't even know your name."

"I have never seen your ICE before. It's as if you are not a creature of this world, but a demon crawling out of hell."

Bridget's tone was a little cold. She thought she knew Night City well enough, but the reality slapped her hard.

"So I gave you a nickname, the murderous white devil."

"Haha, devil?"

The corner of Xia Yu's lips curled up, he didn't expect that the nickname of Thunder and Lightning would reappear in this world.

"In this case, I will make it clear and surrender to me, otherwise you will wait to be sent to hell by me, a devil."

"Ha, so this is your purpose." Bridget sneered, her eyes becoming colder: "We will not surrender to anyone, even if we die!"

"So, none of you are willing?"

Xia Yu held the knife in one hand and pointed it at all the Voodoo Gang members in front of him. Their tactical goggles reflected their different expressions.

Waited for a few seconds, no one answered.

Xia Yu grinned, holding knives in both hands, and assumed a charging posture.

"Then, it's time for Jack to... disembowel him!"

In an instant, Xia Yu rushed in with a knife, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. No one could resist the extremely sharp silver-white knife.

Screams for mercy echoed here, and various internal organs flew everywhere. As soon as they landed, they were trampled into bloody graffiti by the fleeing crowd.

Bridget's dark face turned pale as she looked at the scene that looked like a slaughterhouse. She didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive.

After learning that they would not surrender, he went on a killing spree without even trying to negotiate. Could it be that the other party didn't really want to conquer them?Just come here to kill?
Within a moment, the scene was empty, and the small stronghold was awash in scarlet, as if someone had poured large swaths of red paint here just to draw this picture of hell.

"You are indeed a devil."

Bridget smiled bitterly, the massacre was over and she was still alive, but she did not feel that the other party had sudden kindness and wanted to let her go.

Do you want to see how ugly she regrets it?

Even if her judgment is wrong, she will not regret it!

Bridget regained her previous indifferent expression. She looked at Xia Yu who came over coldly and said without any emotion.

"I will not regret it. When I took this road, I knew that I would die sooner or later. But before you kill me, can you tell me who you are?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu kept walking, but the tactical goggles that covered his face suddenly parted, revealing the handsome face behind the tactical goggles.

Bloody light flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "I am -"

"Jack the Ripper!"
