People are in Night City, start to add points

But she didn't want to answer that question.

"Yeah, why?"

Dropping a word casually, she quickened her pace as if she wanted to escape from something.

Pushing open the iron gate, Lucy was immediately surrounded by warm sunlight, and on the side of the road ahead, Qiwei, another female hacker in the team, was leaning on a brown car and watching quietly.

——On the way here, when she realized that her identity had been exposed, Lucy notified Qi Wei, who had a better relationship with her in the team, and asked her to pick her up.

Stepping into the car and slamming the door, Lucy quickly pulled out a cigarette, put it in her mouth and lit it.

Amidst the smoke, Qi Wei also sat in the driver's seat.

"If I'm not mistaken, that kid is inside the building."

"...you scanned him?"

"It's not important, you said?"

"No."

Lucy knew exactly what she was talking about and shook her head resolutely.

But Qi Wei obviously didn't believe this answer, and said in a voice of implicit warning while starting the car.

"It's not your first day in this business, you know the rules."

"What would Mann do if he knew about this? Or worse, let that Mr. Moon know what you did..."

It's really annoying...how did she see it.

Hearing a certain name, Lucy's fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

She turned her head to the side and didn't insist anymore.

"I believe in him."

"Ha... dear Lucy, we all know 'trust no one' in Night City."

Qi Wei chuckled, and then Yi Yi's eyes lit up with a yellowish luster.

After a while, she said in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, I'll take care of it for you."

Although she is not familiar with operations related to 'memory' and does not have this type of puppet, it is still very simple for her to delete the memory of an ordinary person.

—————————————————————

That night, in the small building where the mercenary team temporarily stayed.

The team stood in a row near the wall, and Faraday stood alone by the window.On the sofa in the middle of everyone, the rock singer-like figure was sitting silently.

Of course, a certain female hacker who was having a fever did not show up, but just used the communication to remotely participate in this discussion on the grounds of a temporary business.

"The employer has replied."

Faraday bowed slightly, crossed his fingers in front of him, and whispered.

"It is impossible to confirm the current status of the target project, but what can be confirmed is that the experiment is still going on, and there is no recent arrangement for large-scale weapon experiments in the Arasaka Tower."

"That is to say, in addition to the known locations, there are other hidden experimental bases."

Mann frowned, subconsciously looking at 'moon'.

"Mr. Moon, is there anything you can do?"

For whatever reason, the previously obtained intelligence has lost its timeliness, which has brought the mission to a deadlock.

Seeming to have been waiting for his question, 'moon' replied without thinking.

"In this case, there is only one way."

"Like last time, get the person in charge of this project in Arasaka Tower and find the latest information from his head."

In the living room of the small building, there was a brief silence.

The corner of Mann's mouth twitched twice. He had conceived this idea before, but after several analysis, he found it completely impossible.

After all, there has been a precedent of kidnapping Tanaka before, and the people in Arasaka are not brain-dead.

"Of course, this time we have to do it without anyone noticing, which is much harder."

On the other hand, 'moon' continued talking.

He raised his head, looked around, and said with a light smile.

"This kind of plan is also very dangerous, so I didn't mention it before. I would rather use a more troublesome way to track the transport vehicles one by one, but now I have no choice... unless you are willing to give up the commission and temporarily withdraw from the mission."

The answer was obvious, and everyone even thought he was joking to ease the atmosphere, and all stared at the direction of the sofa, waiting for 'moon' to continue talking.

"If you don't want to give up, then there is only one way left——Rebecca, this time you will follow me."

Wait, Rebecca?

Hearing this, Qi Wei raised her head in astonishment.

Why not Lucy?

In the previous operations, 'moon' selected Lucy hand-picked. It must be better to work with familiar people, and their operations went smoothly. Why did they change?

Could it be that Mr. 'moon' knew what happened today and that Lucy was hurt.

But what happened during the day was obviously not told to anyone, not even Mann!

A frightening thought appeared in Qiwei's mind, causing her to clenched her hands unconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

In other words, 'moon' also knows about Lucy's leak...

Volume 127: Chapter 120 Chapter [-] Five: The New Leader

Until the end of the temporary meeting, when the figure like a rock singer disappeared from sight, Qi Wei still felt a little scared.

What a scary guy, why does he know everything...

If I hadn't cleared the boy's short-term memory and wiped out the future troubles, I'm afraid there would be one more item on the agenda of this meeting--executing Lucy who leaked the secret and clearing up the uneasy factors.

At the door, Faraday left first, and after a while, Rebecca also packed her weapons, waved to everyone, and walked out of the room according to Moon's previous instructions.

The door had just closed when Mann's expression suddenly darkened.

"Why did 'moon' suddenly change its candidate?"

He frowned gradually, and asked in the communication.

"Lucy, what happened in the last operation?"

As an experienced veteran, this change will naturally arouse his vigilance, not to mention every behavior of the moon is very important to the team.

During the communication, the girl fell silent and did not answer immediately.

"Actually, something happened today."

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Wei took the initiative to speak.

It's all for the smooth completion of the task, don't blame me for not keeping it secret for you...

Sighing in her heart, she briefly explained what happened before.

Seeing Mann's face getting more and more gloomy, Qi Wei hurriedly added.

"However, Moon should have confirmed the safety of Lucy's operation this time, and I have also dealt with it. It's probably okay."

—————————————————————

Following the instructions in the communication, Rebecca walked quickly on the street with her hands in her pockets, and soon found the 'little mule' parked by the side of the road.

She opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and reached for the steering wheel, but found that with her height, it was very difficult to complete this action.

At this time, the seat under the buttocks suddenly rose slowly, 'lifting' Rebecca up.

"Ah - thank you!"

She said something in the communication with a smile, and then pressed the start button.

Mr. Moon, it doesn't seem as scary as what Qiwei and Lucy said...

Rebecca is not a hacker, and naturally she doesn't feel the level of moon like those two.

She started the 'little mule' and drove towards the location marked by the moon. After hesitating for a moment, she asked cautiously.

"Well, Mr. Moon, why didn't you call Lucy this time?"

"You are more suitable than her in situations where there is a possibility of armed conflict."

Moon's indistinct electronic voice sounded in the communication.

"whispering sound……"

It seemed that because of Moon's good attitude, Rebecca boldly continued to ask.

"Then why don't you call Mann, he's much better at shooting than me."

"...he had a drinking problem and he was so rehabilitated that he was potentially mentally ill and I couldn't ignore any accidents."

Moon's voice sounded a little helpless, but he still explained patiently.

"For the others, let's not talk about your brother. He has no combat ability at all, and Dorio is better at melee combat. As for Qiwei, she is a pure hacker and has no other abilities at all... Do you have any questions?"

"Nothing."

Rebecca shook her head slightly.

"You know us well."

'Little Mule' took the backseat, David didn't answer the sentence.

He was lying in the bucket of ice water, and the memory of his previous life unconsciously appeared in his mind, which was the scene of the death of the members of the mercenary team.

Mann who committed suicide by detonating explosives, Dorio who died because of Mann, Pila who was killed by street cyberpsychosis, and Rebecca sauce.

Oh, and Qiwei...

In silence, the 'Little Mule' drove for another half an hour, and then slowly stopped on the side of the road.

At this time, they had arrived at the company square, at an intersection near Arasaka Tower.

David slowly closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy on the hacking device, and began to scan the vehicles leaving Arasaka Tower one by one.

After a long time, a huge car like a giant steel beast appeared in David's sight.

This is 'Chevrolet Emperor 620', a special model made by Arasaka Company, with a large interior space and layers of armor on the exterior.

There were several security personnel sitting in the car, all of whom looked very island-like. Among them were strong men like sumo wrestlers, some were thin and looked like ninjas, and agents in black customer service were operating mobile terminals.

A woman wearing an Arasaka uniform and with pink hair divided into three parts was sitting in the center, closing her eyes and recuperating.

She is what David is waiting for.

"Stay away, keep a safe distance and follow."

After giving instructions to Rebecca in the communication, David began to remotely hack into the woman's brain.

"So it's Kasli..."

In the Edgewalker animation, it was this woman named Kasli who was responsible for the security of the 'Prosthetic King Kong', and called Adam Heavy Hammer to annihilate David and the mercenary team who broke into the Arasaka Tower .

Although the time is different, it is still dealing with the matter of 'Prosthetic King Kong'. Even if she is not the main person in charge in this timeline, it can still be used as a breakthrough.

David has no suitable reason to bring hacking equipment into Arasaka Tower again, and he cannot contact Carsley as 'David Martinez', so he can only choose this way.

After 10 minutes, he sighed and disconnected.

"End tracking, prepare to return."

"Is that all right?" Rebecca asked a little surprised.

"of course not."

David explained as 'moon' in the newsletter.

"Fortunately, this guy is the new person in charge."

"But as previously guessed, the Arasaka Company only changed the location and time of the experiment, but the specific security method has not changed-that is to say, even the person in the front car can only be tested before the transport vehicle leaves next time." It will take an hour to know the exact location."

"Isn't that very troublesome..." Rebecca's voice froze for a while, and she quickly thought of the problem.
