from night city

Constantly muttering to himself.

"No, it shouldn't be possible. This is just a coincidence. It's impossible..."

Lidya Su didn't say a word, but just speeded up.

……

A few minutes later, they arrived at the meeting place Max had said they would meet.

When they saw the scene in front of them clearly, both of them were shocked.

This should once have been the last place for the marginalized lower class who were abandoned by the city and society because of the growing poverty rate.

More than a dozen dilapidated tents stood under the viaduct, enjoying the shade and comfort.

On one side of the camp is a sunny hillside. When the weather is nice, you can climb up to it and bask in the sun.

Despite being extremely poor.

However, under such harsh conditions, the people gathered here struggling to survive are still willing to help each other and even accept other poor people who come here.

In the center of the camp, there is also a chapel without walls.

The Holy Cross lay on a simple wooden table.

Seeing this scene, your mind will naturally have this picture:

——On every day of worship, people will gather in front of the Holy Cross to listen and feel the Lord’s words of wisdom.

Yet now.

This beautiful scene was broken.

Tents that could protect people from wind and rain were overturned.

The Holy Cross was also broken into several pieces.

The chapel in the center of the camp burst into flames.

The bodies of people and priests burned in the fire.

Max was stunned for a moment.

Then a charred body was pulled out of the fire.

"Is he the one who wants to contact you?"

Max nodded.

He put on gloves and began to examine.

After some careful exploration, Max

He stood up again and sighed helplessly.

"The neural sockets were destroyed, the prosthetic eyes were dug out, and the brain was fundamentally destroyed to the point where data cannot be restored."

"Only the company's talents can do this kind of technique."

The average gangster only kills people.

It won't be handled so cleanly.

Only people in the company know that even dead people may reveal information.

So they destroyed Esteban's neural sockets and dug out his prosthetic eyes.

It also completely destroyed his brain.

The purpose is to prevent skilled hackers from digging things out of his brain.

Regrettably.

Max would never know.

What does Esteban have to tell himself.

"I can't stay here any longer or I might throw up."

Max couldn't stand the smell of burning human bodies in the air.

It is even more intolerable that these low-class people, who have not provoked or offended anyone, but just hugged each other for warmth, have become the wood for burning bonfires.

And this is just because Esteban requested that the meeting place be set here.

They were all killed by Arasaka who came to silence them.

"Do you want me to take you back?"

"No, I can just call a taxi myself." Max had already walked some distance away, but as if he remembered something, he turned back and said, "By the way, this is your reward. Whatever happens, I will contact you again."

After transferring the money to Su Xiao, Max finally left in a hurry this time without looking back.

After Max left, Su Xiao came to Esteban's body.

Just like Max said.

Esteban's body was badly damaged.

Even the most gifted hacker of all time, Lucky Buttermoss, is resurrected.

There is absolutely no way to extract even a tiny bit of data from Esteban's body.

Su Xiao put Esteban's body back into the fire.

Hopefully Esteban, and the people here, will go to a better world after death.

Just when Lidya Su was about to leave.

Suddenly, a strange "gurgling" sound came from a box in the camp.

This is certainly not the cry of a dove.

It's more like the abdominal rumblings you make when you're hungry.

"There are still survivors?"

Su Xiao started the scanning mode of the tactical eyepiece.

Yet nothing was found.

He was slightly taken aback.

Then he looked at the box that made the strange noise earlier.

Continue scanning.

Still no response.

He got it.

Either this box has an anti-detection coating on it.

Either the person hiding inside installed an anti-detection jammer.

Considering that this box is just an ordinary large glove box.

Then the latter is more likely.

Su Xiao held the scabbard with her left hand.

Walk over slowly.

Make no sound.

When he came to the box, he took a deep breath.

Then he suddenly opened the lid of the large glove box.

And almost at the same moment, a golden light pierced the darkness.

Come towards Su Xiao's door.

Su Xiao tilted her head to avoid the oncoming monomolecular line.

Then he drew his sword and blocked it to the side.

The single molecular thread wraps around the red blade.

The friction and collision of sparks fell like raindrops.

Do not give in to each other.

Only then did Su Xiao notice that the person wrestling with him was a white-haired girl.

The girl soon discovered.

Wrestling is not good for you.

So she took the initiative to cut off the connection with the single molecular line.

Jumping up from the big glove box.

Stepping on the flying debris, riding on Lidya Su's body.

His legs clamped Lidya Su's neck tightly.

He wanted to use inertia and body strength to knock Su Xiao down.

The two fell to the ground at the same time.

But Su Xiao broke away from the girl's restraints, and instead took advantage of her fall to twist her hands behind her back and suppress her to the ground.

Can't move.

The girl tried to struggle several times.

But all in vain.

He was pinned to the ground by Su Xiao.

Finally, the girl closed her eyes as if accepting her fate.

"I'll let you go now, but I hope you won't be impulsive, okay?"

The girl hesitated.
