Cyberpunk: 2075

"There's a power outage."

In the dark, V's prosthetic eyes automatically turned on the night vision function for him. Faced with the sudden emergency, he did not show any expression fluctuation or nervousness. He just silently pulled out the thermal samurai sword from his waist. , stood quietly in the darkness.

He was waiting, waiting for the enemy that might come.

There was an extremely tacit understanding. Needless to say, Jack was already close to V. They maintained a vigilant attitude towards each other, helping each other to be alert to blind spots.

What Jack was holding in his hand was the 'Arasaka TKI-20 Shingen' smart submachine gun that fit the identity of this mission. His mouth was panting slightly under his helmet, and his body was tense, ready for a fight at any time.

On the other side, Oliver, who also turned on the night vision function of this model of Qiluji, stood in front of Kenichi Shiro with the "Arasaka HJSH-18 Masamune" kinetic energy rifle, guarding Kenichi Shiro.

Oliver knew that Kenichi Shiro was very strong and capable, but he had never seen Kenichi Shiro take action and had no idea of ​​Kenichi Shiro's own strength. Therefore, when darkness came, Oliver subconsciously stood by Kenichi Shiro's side. In front of you.

This is the rich man who gave their team a float vehicle. Considering this love, they naturally have to protect it. Anyway, even if they really fight, all Oliver will do is assist and remote support, which is not as important as the need. It doesn't hurt that V and Jack are charging, but they can also protect their subordinates.

In the darkness, Kenichi Shiro looked at Oliver who was standing in front of him. He was obviously stunned for a moment. He never thought that one day he would be able to enjoy the treatment of being protected.

You know, even if Kenichi Shiro appears as a company, he is usually alone, and the people around him are basically just some necessary security teams, such as this kind of personal protection. Last time, it seemed that it was Carl. Right, and even if it was Karl,

Karl didn't protect him either...

Your team members know better than you. '

Such an idea came to his mind inexplicably, but Kenichi Shiro reacted quickly. After accepting that he was being protected, he quickly contacted his subordinates through the communication, and he was able to confirm the scope of the power outage as quickly as possible. .

He had to ensure Miss Haruko's safety, and immediately started to protect Miss Haruko's safety.

In the darkness, listening to the surprised sounds of the isolated employees around him due to the power outage, Kenichi Shiro quickly received a reply that made him extremely reassuring.

The power outage was only on the floor he was on. No matter who or which facility the enemy was targeting, he was only targeting this floor.

There is no problem with Miss Haruko's safety.

"In that case."

Just for a moment, Kenichi Shiro's eyes turned cold.

No matter who you are targeting, if you dare to attack where he is... the outcome of this enemy is already doomed.

"Go to the power management room, seal it off, identify the attackers, and the team that successfully subdues possible potential enemies will be rewarded."

After giving such an order, Kenichi Shiro heard the reminder from the man named V: "Be careful, I feel something is wrong all over, as if something bad is about to happen."

In the midst of V's voice, both prosthetic eyes with or without night vision function saw several blue lights lighting up in the darkness of the banquet hall.

The blue light distributed throughout the banquet hall was flickering like fireflies, and it looked so conspicuous in the dark banquet hall.

Within sight, the positions emitting blue light were quickly locked one by one. Those positions were exactly where the surrounding Arasaka employees were located!

Those employees who had obeyed the order and stayed quietly at the edges of each place looked down at the chest and abdomen that began to flash and glow in the darkness. There was unbelievable fear on everyone's face.

They didn't understand what was happening, and they didn't know why their chests were glowing in the dark, but their bodies were desperately warning them of danger, as if they were already on the edge of a cliff.

"What... what is this? I don't remember that I ever had my stomach replaced. What's going on with this blue light? What happened!"

In the inexplicable fear of unknown reasons, an Arasaka employee wanted to ask for help from his colleagues around him in the dark. He pressed his chest, which was glowing with blue light. In the fear, he forgot the prohibition and compared to the side. The colleague who was close, and whose chest did not emit any light, leaned over:

"Hey, you, please help me take a look. You are a member of the second department. I am a member of the first department. According to the level, I am above you. Come over and give me a quick check. Why? It's me, not you, why are you okay? What happened to me? Did you do something secretly? This is done openly in the company. You have violated..."

Before this employee from the first department finished speaking, he saw the blue light on his chest flashing faster and faster, faster and faster. The frequency of this flashing made his eyes a little dazzled, in the dazzling colors. , his eyes gradually lost their luster.

He was thinking a lot in his mind at this moment.

He thought about his origin, the wealthy family, his parents who forced him to work hard, the atmosphere of desperate involution in Arasaka College, the honor of being among the top ten graduates, and the name of a famous student in Arasaka College. People who were stepped on by themselves during office fights...:.

In his artificial eyes, a stream of data flowed, and that stream of data seemed to help him flip through his memories, constantly recalling, and constantly recalling, until finally, he recalled a figure.

That was a figure seen in a half-true, half-false, illusory and escapable beauty, beyond the dream of the dream.

‘True liberation and beauty. ’

The blue light ended, and the second-section staff member who had originally obeyed the scolding and wanted to approach felt something was wrong.

He was originally panicked and dazed and obeyed the order of the first-section staff and wanted to approach, but halfway through, his sweat hairs stood up, his pores shrank, and goose bumps appeared.

At this moment, he felt that the first-section staff in front of him was very scary.

It was as scary as the Adam heavy hammer standing in front of him that he had encountered by chance. The feeling that his life was tied to a silk thread and could be broken at any time made him want to retreat and escape,

So, he obeyed his body's instinct to do so.

But just as he turned around, the personnel from the first section he was facing had the brightest blue light coming out of their chests.

Then... :

"Boom!"

The explosion that V and the others were familiar with sounded again, and the firelight illuminated the darkness.
