The operation was delayed, and the situation was not good.

As V issued one order after another, the intelligence agents, hackers, and combat teams of the counterintelligence department took turns to move out and began to operate quickly.

For this operation, V did not think that he would fail at the hands of the so-called mysterious company.

The only thing he needed to pay attention to and worry about was the help from the hostile company, and he did not have much time left.

There was not much commotion, and this operation was just the same as usual for the counterintelligence department of Arasaka.

It was just that the target this time became "Ascension Technology".

Night City was also as chaotic as usual.

...

At night.

Afterlife Bar.

This is the most famous bar in Night City, and famous mercenaries in Night City will choose to come here to take jobs. And here is also the biggest job in Night City, and the most rewarding.

Every night, it is always bustling here, with mercenaries who come to take jobs, employers who come to issue commissions, and famous middlemen in the next life gathered here.

As usual, the next life welcomes all the mercenaries who come here to find commissions.

But tonight, there is an unusual regular customer.

"New face, if you want to come in, you have to report your name first."

At the door of the next life, the security guard stopped a man.

He was tall and burly, with a mask installed on his ferocious face, and all his limbs were modified with prostheses. The metal prostheses were exposed to the air without any cover, showing the terrible weapons inside.

The security guard in the next life was very strong, but standing in front of the man in front of him, he still had to look up at him.

However, the security guard was not afraid of him because of his highly modified appearance and tall body. No one dared to make trouble in the next life unless he was Adam Heavy Hammer.

But it was obvious that although the degree of modification of the man in front of him was beyond the standard, he was still far from Adam's heavy hammer.

"It's me, Barom."

A strong electronic sound came from the man's mask.

Hearing this man's words, the security guard was stunned for a moment, looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled look, and after a while of thinking, he seemed to confirm his identity.

"I didn't expect it, Barom, it's really you. I didn't recognize you because you have changed so much. Okay, you go in."

Barom is a frequent visitor to the next life, and often comes here to take jobs. As a security guard in the next life, he naturally knows him.

It's just that the face of the man in front of him is too different from his impression.

Although Barom was strong and tall enough in the past, he was not as exaggerated as he is now. His legs were not modified into prostheses, and even his face was not equipped with a mask.

He still vaguely distinguished from his upper half of the face and eyes that this man was Barom.

As soon as Barom entered the next life bar, his exaggerated modified appearance attracted the attention of many people in the bar.

"Who is this guy?"

"Why do I feel like he looks a bit like Barom? Is he?"

"No way, I saw him a few days ago, but he doesn't look like the same person at all."

Someone started talking about Barom, and their conversation reached the ears of the Mann team next to them.

The Mann team members are also frequent visitors to the afterlife, and they also came here tonight to look for commissions.

"What an exaggeratedly big guy, who is Barom?"

Rebecca asked casually with her legs on the table and her hands folded behind her head.

Hearing Rebecca's question, Mann raised his eyebrows under his sunglasses and glanced at Barom in the distance.

"Barom? I know that guy. He is a famous mercenary in the next life. He is a transformation maniac. He dares to install a prosthesis on his body. I even suspect that he is from the Whirlpool Gang.

I have seen Barom before, but I don't think this person is him. There were rumors that Barom's mind was abnormal, suspected of cyberpsychosis, and even killed his teammates in a mission.

At that time, the intensity of his transformation was not so high. If this person is really Barom, he would have become a cyber madman long ago. How can he sit here and drink leisurely." Mann commented with his big white teeth.

If Rocky was here, he would definitely complain that Mann was not qualified to talk about others.

Many people in the bar focused on Barom, including mercenaries like Mann who were idle, and employers who wanted to find a good hand to help them with commissions.

Barom also noticed this. The installed auditory sensory enhancement allowed him to perceive the discussions of the crowd, but he didn't care.

I ordered a drink, picked up the glass, felt my hands no longer trembling, and felt the endless

, a smile appeared on Balom's face.

Mann was right. He was indeed a transformation maniac. The power brought by the prosthetic transformation made him intoxicated. He wanted to put any prosthetic that could be installed on his body.

Originally, his body was not as strong as it is now, and the installed prosthesis had long reached its limit. The prosthetic doctor had warned him many times not to continue installing prostheses.

Although he wanted the prosthetic doctor to shut up, his trembling hands, trance and teammates killed by him all told him that he had reached his limit.

But all this changed two days ago.

Balom's prosthetic doctor brought him a mysterious medicine and told him that as long as he injected it, he could improve his physical strength and enhance his ability to withstand the prosthesis.

Balom was very excited and happily bought the medicine from the prosthetic doctor.

It was indeed as the prosthetic doctor said, he became stronger. The strong body and clear mind made him extremely excited.

It was not because he no longer had to worry about the onset of cyberpsychosis, but because he could continue to install prostheses.

Obviously, Balom is hopeless. He has modified himself to the limit again. But this time, I am afraid that no medicine can save him.

"Hello, you must be the famous Balom."

Just after sitting down for a while, a man in a suit came to Balom.

This also made many mercenaries sigh that showing strong strength really means that you can get endless work.

"It's me."

Balom nodded, and didn't care why he could recognize his identity even though he had changed so much.

"Hehe, I have a commission here. I wonder what you think?"

"Tell me about it."

The man in the suit handed him a chip and asked him to plug it in.

Without much hesitation, Balom took the chip.

As the chip was read, Balom also learned the content of the commission.

"Your job is too simple, and the reward is not enough. I don't take such small jobs."

Throwing the chip back to the man in the suit, Balom rejected his commission.

After being injected with the serum, his perspective has changed. In his eyes, only big deals are worthy of his involvement, and these small fights are a complete waste of his time.

"Then I won't bother you."

The man in the suit saw that Barom refused, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled with satisfaction, as if his goal had been achieved.
