Cyberpunk: 2075

"Did you hear that Carl?"

"I heard it, it couldn't be clearer."

Turning up the car stereo a little louder, Carl said, "Absolutely, crystal clear."

Originally, it was just because he had to take on the responsibility of guarantee, so Karl hacked into the mercenary named Kilai, and borrowed his modified hearing reception system and prosthetic eyes to observe the contact between their team and the contact person. He didn't expect to see it happen. A good show.

"Aison Blaine."

Karl murmured the name with a smile on his face: "It's a bit interesting.'

This name was too familiar to him.

This is something Jack would occasionally say, the past legend of the Valentino Gang. I didn’t expect to see it today.

"What do you think?"

V looked at Oriona and Kirai who hurriedly ran out of the Sunset Hotel, took a box and got into the car, started to start the car quickly and wanted to leave, and asked Karl what he thought: "For that Essun -How much do you believe the words from Brian’s mouth?”

"I don't believe a word of it."

Karl smiled even more happily:

"The cyberpsychopaths in the Terrorist Mobile Team are not easy to dismiss. Although according to the regulations, they are not qualified to attack civilians casually, their regulations even require a warning for cyberpsychosis. , do you think they have done it;

Oh, it can't be said that they haven't done it before, but they just warned and took action at the same time. Oriona and Kirai were too naive, and they really thought that handing over something would prevent the Terrorist Mobile Team from coming to their door. "

"Can they not believe it? No one is a fool. It's just a chance."

V can see clearly:

"Once the items are delivered, the main goal of those cyberpsychotics must be to try to recover the items from the people in the city council:

It's like if the owner loses something and sees it in a co-worker who doesn't like it. He will definitely try to get the thing back from the co-worker first. After all, if it's too late, the nominal co-worker will be able to find a good reason to swallow the item. For people from the Terrorist Mobile Team and the city council, the name is not an issue at all, the location of the items is the most important;

During this process, Oriona, Kirai and the others escaped, which was better than the situation where the items might be recycled at any time and they could talk to these little thieves first. "

"I can't tell for sure."

Karl thought about the status of those cyberpsychotics: "Evidence is not important at all. What is important is what this matter can bring. Where the things are placed, it is not up to them to say what they want to say. The two of them have the final say. The little thief is really not as important as the quarrel between the violent terrorist mobile team and the city council. "

According to the situation where the violent terrorist mobile team performs high-intensity tasks and injects drugs at fixed times to stabilize their mental state, after they finish arguing with the people in the city council, or lose profits and suffer a dumb loss, or exchange enough things, can they still be in their minds? The concept of the two thieves in it is not necessarily clear.

Just like when a company executive discovers that his things are lost, their first reaction is definitely not that a thief has stolen his things for personal property purposes, but that his enemies have sent people to steal their things. intelligence.

Thieves who are not qualified are just petty thieves. Whether they clean up or not depends on whether they are free and in the mood. Anyway, it is just a matter of convenience.

V looked at the vehicle that had started to move with Oriona and Kirai sitting inside, and started the vehicle. He followed them as a guarantor and asked Karl a question at the same time:

"How many more minutes are there now?"

Obviously, what he was asking was how much time was left until Essun Blaine was scheduled to call the Terrorist Mobile Team.

"have no idea."

V got an answer he hadn't expected.

"have no idea?"

V turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Karl: "You didn't remember it? I thought you would remember it, so I didn't care."

"You just want me to use my brain, right?"

Karl shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to remember it, it's just that I simply don't think it's necessary to remember the lie.'

"lie?"

V thought of the conversation Karl had just had with him.

How much do you believe in the words from that Essun Blaine's mouth?

‘I don’t believe a word of it. ’

Suddenly realizing it, V felt as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he reacted instantly: "So, Karl, what you just meant was that there was not a word of truth in Aison Blaine's mouth?"

"almost."

Karl recalled what he saw from the perspective of Kilai's prosthetic eye, Essun Blaine: "In the 20 minutes scheduled, I called the Terrorist Mobile Team to make a reservation. The things belonged to the Terrorist Mobile Team. I think it was probably all lies. ”

"It's all lies?"

Even after reacting, V was still in disbelief.

"I'm not entirely sure. I only said it was very likely, but I didn't believe a word of it."

Carl's reason is simple:

"I have observed Essun Blaine through Kilai's prosthetic eyes. You know, I can tell whether a person is lying by observing various information. To be honest, I have never seen a person like Essun. -Brain, a man who almost always tells lies, oh,

It can’t be said that I didn’t see a single word of truth. It should be that except for his self-introduction and his words about wanting to see Oliona’s abilities, they were all lies. "

"Is it really that evil?"

V thought about it: "So, I was also deceived?"

"Do you believe what others say? Then you are too naive to deceive V. I'm afraid you will believe it if someone says that he is a person sent by the president."

"Damn, why were you just talking to me about the possible situation of the Terrorist Mobile Team? I was subconsciously led into a trap by you."

"Let's find a topic to talk about. And I just said it was very possible. I'm not 100% sure. If it really is something from the Terrorist Mobile Team, then you have to prepare a response, right?"

"Okay.:."

V said why Carl was smiling more and more happily just now. Originally, he thought that Carl was going to meet his old acquaintances from the Terrorist Mobile Team.

So I became excited because I had the same interest in fighting as myself. From now on, I have been feeling dizzy and happy watching myself being deceived.

A little depressed, but V also thought of a verification method at this time: "Come on, let's call Cormac and ask. If it really involves the work of the violent terrorist mobile team, we have to pay more... ..No, Cormac doesn’t have the guts to tell us false information. In other words, this matter can be determined from the beginning?”

"Things are never 100%. What if that guy Cormac learns Faraday?"

Carl smiled even wider.

"Fuck, you've figured it out a long time ago, look at me!

"It's okay, think on the bright side V. At least you understand it now. It's better than the two newcomers who panicked when they heard about the Terrorist Mobile Team and didn't verify it."

Karl watched the car with Oriona and Kilai in front of him driving faster and faster, and he was quite looking forward to what would happen next.

Why deliberately lie to them, what is the purpose of this?

Do you want them to turn around and rush somewhere within a limited time, or do you just want them to drive faster?

What dangers will occur if the car drives faster and faster?

The scene that appeared in front of him made Karl understand.

He saw a heavy truck rushing out of the side of an intersection and hitting the vehicle where Oliona and Kilai were.

The answer is a car accident.
