Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

The cold wind mixed with ice and snow clung to the city sky.

Haiji stood at the door of the building, tightened her collar, and blew out a breath of white mist into the air.

"Wait for me, Hai Ji!" Mulin shouted and rushed out of the elevator and rushed towards the door.

"Don't yell..." Hai Ji glanced at the passers-by who cast strange glances in their direction, and rubbed her eyebrows, "This will make it appear that there is something wrong with your brain."

"Ha!" Mullin patted his chest without blushing or out of breath, "Do I still care about other people's eyes?"

"Hmm..." Haiji responded perfunctorily, folded her arms in front of her chest, and walked towards the parking lot.

"By the way, when will the big shot come to Night City?" Mullin asked curiously while reaching out to catch the white snow falling from the sky.

"Wait for me..." Heji opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

"Direct remote access? How much permission did the boss give you?" Mullin fastened the seat belt of the driver's seat and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "He doesn't have a crush on you, does he?"

"It's work, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have..." Haiji rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the back of her neck.

As a result, all the scenes in the field of vision faded away from their original colors, leaving only a twisted picture woven together with monotonous gray and dazzling pure white lines.

"Successfully connected to the remote center..." Haiji adjusted her sitting posture, her whole body embedded in the soft seat, "Searching for the target..."

As her plain words fell, hundreds of pure white lines in her sight came out like venomous snakes, and spread out rapidly along the winding gray passage.

Mullin clenched the steering wheel with both hands and stared at the road ahead, trying hard to block the adverse effects of the huge signal interference.

"Is the power too much..." Mullin smiled bitterly, "I can no longer feel the prosthetic body all over my body..."

"Be patient, Mullin..." Haiji gently brushed away the blood dripping from the tip of her nose, her tone still calm, "Finish it early and get off work early."

Mullin nodded helplessly and stepped on the accelerator hard.

The dark beast under the seat responded to its master's will and roared fiercely at the sky. The four-wheeled minions trampled the road hard, and its whole body turned into a black edge, severely cutting open the white frost curtain connecting the sky and the earth. A gap.

In his field of vision, the scarlet taillights of other vehicles and the bright lights of street lights turned into blurry shooting stars, which he regarded as colorful flashing tassels, hanging behind him.

"It's great! I'm *!" Hai Ji tightly grasped the car door guard and pressed her legs hard on the foot pads, resisting the huge force that pressed her to the seat.

"Have you found it?" Mullin said somewhat dullly. The feeling of driving at super high speed was not pleasant.

"Found it..." Haiji coughed, "I just crossed the border of Night City."

"We are going directly..." Mullin hesitated. He always felt that this mission had a strange smell.

"Meet the hunters first..." Haiji glanced at him, "We don't need amateurs like us to do the hunting and killing work."

"Okay." Mullin breathed a sigh of relief and stepped on the accelerator as low as possible.

"Rowner, I'm a little nervous." Melissa looked at Rowena who was leaning outside the car door smoking, and said worriedly.

"Relax, Melissa, you don't need to use your brain to make a sharp killing knife..." Rowena blew out a circle of exquisite smoke, silently watching it collide with the ice and snow, and finally disappeared in the endless in the night sky.

"Besides, there will be someone dedicated to cooperate with our actions, right?" Rowena threw the cigarette butt casually on the ground, and then stepped on it hard to extinguish the weak spark that was struggling on the ground.

"Specialized cooperation, wanted order..." Melissa stroked the cold firearm in her hand, "It's such an ominous premonition."

Rowena sighed, patted the specks of snow on her hair, opened the car door and got in.

"Melissa, look into my eyes..." She gently pressed Melissa's head with both hands, semi-forcibly asking her to look at her, "Tell me what you see in my eyes. "

"Exhaustion, madness, murderous intent...and the rage of revenge." Melissa looked into Rowena's eyes and murmured.

"You still have the desire to live." Rowena gently rubbed Melissa's head, "Only when you are alive can you have the opportunity to dream about the future, Melissa."

She fiddled with her red hair, as if she wanted to say something else.

Suddenly, a dark beast wrapped in bright lights, cut through the night, roared and charged at them, but in the end it turned around in time and stopped in front of their car.

"Who are you?" Rowena pushed open the car door, tensed his body, and was always ready to activate Si'an Westan, using the unstoppable mantis sword to tear the enemy into pieces of rotting flesh.

"Relax, fellow members of the Terrorist Mobile Team..." A woman got out of the car and raised her empty hands to indicate that she meant no harm. "We are Internet surveillance agents, here to cooperate with you in performing tasks."

Rowena frowned and pointed at the man in the driver's seat, "Tell him to get down too..."

"*! Mullin! Don't pretend to be motion sick now, get down here..."

"Haiji! I'm not motion sick, I'm just rejecting the prosthetic body. Wait for me to take some medicine!"

"This is what is called..." Melissa also got out of the car and stood side by side with Rowena, "Don't you look very reliable..."

"It's weird to be normal after spending your brain in the invisible cyberspace all day long..." Rowena curled her lips, her expression a little helpless.

"Hello, my name is Hai Ji, happy to work with you." The woman who had been scolding her partner just now regained her composure and extended her hand to Rowena in a friendly manner.

"Terrorist Mobile Team, Rowena, happy cooperation." Rowena smiled and shook Hai Ji's hand hard.

According to some unwritten rules, they tacitly agreed not to reveal each other's numbers.

Mullin and Melissa also shook hands as a sign of friendship.

"What did your superiors say?" Rowena took out a brand new cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Haiji's hand.

"It is said that a big shot is coming to Night City..." Hai Ji shook the delicate lady's cigarette in her hand, "It looks like it is of a very high level..."

"We have directly issued a wanted order..." Rowena said vaguely, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"You're not asking us to assassinate some high-level company figures, are you?" Melissa put her head to the side and listened. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help guessing aloud.

"Who knows... Just clean up the body..." Rowena replied, lowering his eyes.

Hai Ji looked at them, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up with an inexplicable arc.
