It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

His specialty is turning decay into something magical; in his hands, scrap metal and scrap parts can all become deadly weapons.

He has been the one providing equipment support for "Spark" for the past three years since its establishment. Most of the damaged objects captured were also revived by him.

Many of the equipment he modified are even better than the original ones.

And before that, his name was already well-known.

Chief engineer of the Tianhe consortium.

Being able to hold an important position in the former Night City hegemony, the old man's personal ability is self-evident, and there were countless companies that wanted to poach him at high prices.

However, after the destruction of "Tianhe", his whereabouts were also unknown.

Most people thought he was dead, but they didn't know that he had just changed his name and became the head chef of a small restaurant.

And secretly, in this way, he continues to be loyal to his former employer.

The waiter naturally didn't know much about these secrets, but fortunately, although the old man had a strange temper, the job of taking care of him was easy, and he did nothing but slack off every day.

The food he cooked was also pretty good, which made people feel that it was a wise decision not to modify the mechanical stomach.

As he was muttering, the door of the restaurant creaked open and a short-haired woman wearing sunglasses walked in.

The waiter was stunned when he saw this. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before... But he quickly came to his senses, smiled and approached, "Welcome, what would you like to eat?"

However, what greeted him was a pitch-black gun barrel. He was distracted and the opponent appeared behind him. He took out a silenced pistol from his waist, pointed it at his temple and pulled the trigger cleanly.

呲.

The waiter was shot in the head and fell to the ground covered in blood. He never realized what had happened until his death.

“…What the hell?!”

Seeing this scene, the others were shocked and drew their weapons at the first moment.

"Kill her!"

This is one of Spark's safe houses in Night City. On the surface, it's just an ordinary little restaurant that can serve whatever you need to eat.

But most of the time there was no one here, from the waiters to the cashiers, including those customers who seemed to be eating, they were actually bodyguards assigned by Shen He for Luo Zhikang.

They are not ordinary gang members either, but "Upgraders" who are good at fighting, and each of them has the powerful strength to fight more than one.

It has to be said that Shen He is very clear about how precious talents are.

However, faced with all this, Su Lin simply took off her sunglasses and unconsciously curled the corners of her lips.

At least Xia Wuyou isn't the one doing this anymore.

……

One minute later.

The fight that took place in the front hall did not reach Mr. Luo, who was concentrating on his work.

It was not until he saw Su Lin walk into the kitchen with a gun that he realized something was wrong.

problem occurs!

His first reaction was to activate the defense system here, but just as he stretched out his hand, the opponent's pistol was already pressed against the back of his head, "Don't move."

"……who are you?"

Luo Zhikang gritted his teeth and raised his hands helplessly.

The fact that the other party was able to break through here proved that the bodyguards in the front hall had been completely dealt with by her, but he had clearly blocked the positioning system in the drone a long time ago.

There was no way to think about these things... He was not good at fighting and had no ability to resist at all.

"The young master wants to see you, so he sent me to invite Mr. Luo."

Su Lin answered the question irrelevantly and narrated with an expressionless face.

"Master...?"

Before Luo Zhikang could react, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Under the effect of the powerful sedative, he lost consciousness within a few seconds.

Putting the "Sea Crane" on the table into her pocket, Su Lin dragged him out the back door, stuffed him into the trunk, and then drove away.

It can be seen that Miss Su Lin is in a very good mood now. Not only does she keep a smile on her face, she even specially picked some of her favorite music to suppress the madness in her heart.

That's right, wouldn't I be much more efficient than that guy Xia Wuyou?

But then again, how many fish have you caught with this bait?

The young master was very thoughtful to come up with such an arrangement.

There were also people in the front hall who were responsible for cleaning up the mess. In less than half an hour, all the corpses and mess inside disappeared.

The rolling shutter door was pulled down and a "Shop for Sale" sign was hung. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just another small restaurant that could not continue to operate due to the trend of the times.

I'm recommending this big guy's book. Thanks for the chapter recommendation!

Chapter 31 Let's play a game. The prize is

The kidnapping of Luo Zhikang was carried out secretly and efficiently.

Not to mention the Inspection Bureau, even passers-by failed to notice what was happening here.

But speaking of it, the people in the Inspection Bureau have been very busy recently.

Things were all piled up at the same time. Spark's two consecutive riots in Night City, the public and the media's criticism of the credibility of the Inspection Bureau, including the addition of two S-level wanted criminals on the wanted list...everything gave them a headache.

This is especially true for Tang Shuang, the director - she has never been a hands-off person. In fact, she may be the most dedicated person in the entire Inspection Bureau.

The busy official duties, coupled with the fact that she had to attend many meetings and press conferences in person, made it impossible for her to get away.

Even so, she still has to devote some of her energy to pay special attention to the movements of the "Snake Ring", which is really hard work.

There was no way. Although Xu Shi was unexpectedly tolerant about the criminal's escape, she was still worried.

Anyway, I won't give you any chance to find fault with it, so don't even think about it!

And she never gave up digging deeper into Xu Shi's dirt, and has read his files over and over again in the past few days.

But alas, nothing was found.

It’s not that Xu Shi doesn’t have any black material, but this guy’s bad criminal record has long been dealt with and closed. They were all minor faults and not enough to serve as a handle.

Coupled with the large conglomerate's excellent public relations capabilities, Tang Shuang couldn't find any fault at all.

It's very annoying.

This may be the most difficult person the director has ever encountered since he joined the Inspection Bureau.

Not only are you humiliated and bullied by him at will, but you also have no way to do anything about him.

"Ugh……"

Putting down the documents and letting out a long sigh, Tang Shuang felt helpless and at the same time, he also felt that his eyelids were struggling to open.

"Director Tang, are you okay?"

The adjutant beside her keenly noticed that she was not in good condition, "Why don't you take a rest, otherwise you will break down your body."

"I……"

Tang Shuang wanted to say I can still do it, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't even have the strength to say them.

She had not made any modifications to her body, and the high-intensity work without sleep for several consecutive days had pushed her to the brink of her limit.

Not to mention the complications after activating her superpowers. To be honest, she was able to stay awake until now entirely relying on her willpower.

"...Then I'll go back and rest for a while. I'll leave the affairs of the bureau to you."

So she finally gave in and asked her adjutant to take her back to her residence - a single apartment in the 15th district.

Interestingly, given her status, it is really a bit degrading for her to live in such a place.

After all, even the adjutant lady next to him bought a big house in District 16 through her own efforts.

But this is enough to prove how honest this director is.

As soon as she got home, she fell on the bed, not even bothering to take off her clothes and prepared to take a nap.

however.

Just as my consciousness became blurred, a strange feeling suddenly spread throughout my body.

Her whole body suddenly began to tremble unconsciously, and her cheeks turned red with sweat.

Damn, here it comes again...

Although his mind was a mess, Tang Shuang was still very clear about what was going on.

This is a complication of her supernatural power - a surge in desire.

This was all because of the previous indiscriminate bombardment of Lei Song, which caused complications that caused hormones to break through the threshold and caused a serious imbalance.

While working these days, her judgment and thinking abilities are often affected.

However, to be honest, compared with other complications, this disease is not difficult to treat, and can even be classified as the "mildest" one - no blockers are needed, and it can be easily suppressed by some over-the-counter drugs.

On weekdays, Tang Shuang also uses this method to relieve his stress.

But today's situation is different from the past, and it is obviously not something that can be solved by taking medicine alone.

Then there is only...

However, at this moment, a hazy figure appeared in front of the director.

A disgusting guy wearing gold-rimmed glasses and having a sly smile, who made her angry just by looking at him.

I...why would I think of him at this time? !

At this moment, Tang Shuang felt like he must be crazy.

"Well……"

-

While Director Tang was enjoying a good dream, Luo Zhikang on the other side was awakened by a basin of cold water.

The side effects of the sedative gave him a headache, but everything he saw made him even more shocked.

This is clearly a prison cell!

And it was definitely not the prison set up by the city hall, after all, he had personally participated in its construction.

In comparison, this place is darker, dirtier and the conditions are worse.

His hands and feet were also locked with electronic shackles, making it extremely difficult for him to move.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Luo Zhikang yelled, "Why did you bring me here?!"

Snapped.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Luo."

The light in the cell was turned on, and Xu Shi slowly walked out from the shadows. "Let me introduce myself, Xu Shi."

Hearing this name, Luo Zhikang was stunned.

It was not like he had not anticipated this situation. After all, just now, he was still trying to crack the Snake Ring's new drone.

But he also knew very well what it would mean to be caught by the other party.

"Calm down. I have heard of your great name, Mr. Luo, for a long time, so I wanted to invite you to have a chat."

Xu Shi sighed, "But to be honest, it's not easy to find you."

If he didn't know the plot, he would never have thought that the other party would hide in a place like that.

“Is this the way to invite people?”

Luo Zhikang didn't buy it and said angrily with his neck stiff.

"That depends on who is invited."
