Night City, Taiping Prefecture.

"Force Ninja - Daniel Shinoda, Tetsuo - Rubeus Crook, Snake Man Dawn Flynn, Resurrectionist - Kang Richards." Wu Qianying stood in the living room, surrounded by a dozen small screens .

Every screen is broadcasting news about superhuman crimes from various places. A total of nine superhuman criminals who can be regarded as benchmarks in the new era have made headlines in different regions.

Wu Qianying pushed up her glasses and used multiple distractions to avoid missing any information. This was obviously a fog spread by the pioneers to delay time.

But this is meaningless. Once the Seven Virtues appear, Tang Ji will still have enough time to be thrown by Wang Zhengdao. Among the currently known superhumans in the space system, Wang Zhengdao is the most efficient.

"So, what's your conspiracy?" Wu Qianying's expression was so serious that the heavily armed soldiers crowded on the other side of the living room did not dare to breathe.

Model City, Walter Corporation.

"The plan begins." Cathy Walter glanced at Mrs. Generous who was sitting on the sofa enjoying coffee. The other party toasted to her with a smile, looking very relaxed and not showing any dissatisfaction. This made Cathy relaxed. Take a breath.

Following Cathy's order, dozens of pioneers began to get busy. Of course, this operation of Seven Virtues was not to deliver food to Tang Ji. They had a larger goal.

The leader of the pioneers has the ability of [space displacement]. He was the one who stole the nuclear bomb from the military warehouse.

Of course, the pioneers did not have channels to purchase nuclear bombs at that time, but doing so would always leave traces. Compared with taking one directly from the military warehouse, it would not only draw the federal military into trouble, but also bring additional information to subsequent investigation operations. Protection can also once again attack the already weak military hawks.

In addition to dismantling the big government in recent years, another major task of the pioneers has been to tear apart the military.

Players don't have the patience to fight with a fully equipped army. They don't want to be targeted from all directions just after having some fun.

Weakening the army, allowing it to be filled with military leaders, and turning it into an existential army that seems powerful but cannot form a whole is the result that the pioneers want most.

They did indeed do it. The nuclear bomb detonated in Night City was the straw that broke the camel's back. The military base where the nuclear weapon was lost was controlled by the last hawks of the federal army.

As General Heywood was brought to trial in a military court, along with his two colonels, four lieutenant colonels, and dozens of lieutenants, the last hawkish position disappeared.

Today, the pioneer is repeating his old tricks, but this time he is not trying to steal the nuclear bomb out, but putting the nuclear bomb in.

Cathy Walter used the wetware matrix to calculate the possibility of using nuclear weapons to kill Tanguy, but the results were discouraging.

This backward doomsday weapon cannot pose an effective threat to high-level superhumans unless the nuclear bomb happens to explode very close to the target.

Most high-level superhumans have passive abilities similar to dangerous intuition, and are as sensitive as wild beasts.

So this time their goal was not to kill Tang Ji, but to shock him.

Tang Ji has always given the impression to the outside world, including the Trail Blazers, of these forces as being unscrupulous and rampant. It must be said that this momentum has intimidated many people.

Even the pioneers had some fear of Tang Ji until Mr. Wen came up with a new plan.

Before the operation of Seven Virtues, they prepared to secretly throw a counting down nuclear bomb into Night City, and at the same time sent vague clues to the old enemy to keep him in Night City temporarily.

A simple but practical plan, supported by three of the four Seven Virtues. Except for Mrs. Generous, who has a transcendent status, the other three could not give up the plan of the Seven Virtues.

They spent all their energy to join this plan. How could they give up if they could use their power for personal gain?

Especially for Aslan, even if he has to drain the last drop of blood from the Pioneers and drop a nuclear bomb as a primer before each of the seven virtues appears, he still has to keep his last asset in this world - diligence.

Mrs. Generosity looked at the three big pioneers who were paying full attention, with a smile on her lips, as if she was bored watching children fighting.

As the space door was slowly opened by another pioneer, the physically enhanced superhuman pushed the cart loaded with a small-yield nuclear bomb into the portal.

The pioneer with the space replacement ability took a deep breath and walked in. A few minutes later, he returned from the other side of the space door again and nodded to several of the Seven Virtues.

He had successfully hidden the nuclear bomb in a pre-selected location without attracting any attention.

Although the pioneers have turned Night City into a forbidden area, there are many informants who are willing to work for money, and they still know the windblown holes in Night City well.

It's a pity that the damn Joint Investigation Office has been very close to Tang Ji recently and expelled the satellites controlled by the pioneers in outer space. Otherwise, Cathy's grasp of the scene would be more accurate.

"Send him a message." Cathy Walter ordered her subordinates. The personal information of Tang Ji and the people around him was already in their hands.

It's a pity that those people around Tang Ji, except for a few, are all evil stars, and there is simply no weakness at all.

Night City, Taiping Prefecture.

Everyone in the living room, including Wu Qianying, suddenly received new information, especially Ethan.

As a senior Internet user, Ethan has numerous identities on the Internet, and all of them have been exposed to threats at this time.

Ethan, whose brain was intubated, almost suffered a concussion on the spot. The greetings from the Trail Blazers don't care about the option of not reminding you.

The content of the photo is very simple, a nuclear bomb with a ten-minute countdown, and an opening space door. The message reads: "If you don't want to relive the Red Sun incident, just find it quickly, and... mind your own business!"

In the attachment sent with the message, a location was also sent. If nothing else happens, this will be a matryoshka trap. Tang Ji will probably get another location there and eventually travel half of the city. Kankan found the nuclear bomb.

"Your deterrence is greater than I thought." Wu Qianying looked at Tang Ji and took the opportunity to observe his mental state. She was the first person to realize that Tang Ji was being seduced by anger.

But Wu Qianying is a smart person. She never mentioned this matter to Tang Ji. Instead, she planned to collect more data and try to find a solution.

"This proves that the Seven Virtues brand is very important to them." Not only was Tang Ji not offended, but he analyzed it very calmly: "They want to use this method to prove that they can overturn the table at any time."

A simple and straightforward threat. If they don't follow the route they prepared, the Trail Blazers intend to leave everyone with no way out.

The forces they represent want this world, but they don't necessarily want a complete world. A world with broken walls but still full of vitality may be more interesting to players.

On one side is a small appearance that may not even be remembered on the Internet, on the other side are the lives of thousands of people, the humiliation of the second Red Sun Incident, and the choice before Tang Ji It seems obvious

"Send the non-combatants back to the Moonlight Gold." Tang Ji glanced at Wu Qianying, who was still thinking, and Aria and Edward who were at a loss: "If they think Night City will surrender, I will surrender, That’s wrong.”

Hearing Tang Ji's words, Wu Qianying raised her head: "Are you really ready to bear this?"

"What are you carrying?" Tang Ji asked back: "I am not a hero or savior, and Night City has never been my responsibility."

"Maybe this is not a good choice, Tang. You had no chance to prevent this from happening last time, but this time." The old man opened his mouth, but when he saw Tang Ji's eyes, he shook his head and hugged him hard: "I I just hope you won’t regret your choice in the future, because I know what kind of person you are.”

"Maybe I can, but I will not give up my goal for this, but I will kill everyone involved, anyone who has helped in any way, because that is what I originally planned to do." Tang Ji was very calm. , without even triggering the flames of hatred: "I'm not a superhero in a tights and a cape, I'm just an Avenger."

"But they said you are the legend of this city!" Vicky screamed in disbelief. She never thought that she would face such a choice when she participated in the mission for the first time. The moral education she received since childhood did not allow her to Silently: "They even named the wine after you!"

"Then let them rename my glass of wine Death." Tang Ji smiled nonchalantly, pointed at Vicki and said to Wang Zhengdao: "She is also considered a non-combatant. You can take her when you go back. Bring back."

"Let's go, Vicky, I'll send you away first, you still don't understand." Wang Zhengdao looked at the little girl he sent over, and patted her head gently: "This is war."

"Others, get ready, let's go hunting." Tang Ji looked at his team members and said confidently: "Remember, give priority to attacking players with high mobility, especially those with space capabilities. Leave the rest to me.”

"Understood!" Others replied forcefully.

A few seconds later, Wang Zhengdao appeared in the living room again. Among the pictures that were playing the news, there was suddenly a picture that was enlarged on the TV by Aaliya, who had already answered the question of Moonlight Gold.

". Mountain City Sting Hunter Middle School, the crazy and cruel superhuman criminal Daniel Shinoda just killed another hostage! The Law Enforcement Bureau still has not reached an agreement with the murderer!"

"The expert guest next to me just predicted that Daniel Shinoda has been forced into a desperate situation, and further stimulation may lead to more hostage casualties."

"This is definitely a major case that has shocked the federation. Daniel Shinoda has killed two negotiators during the live broadcast of hundreds of thousands of viewers. He has no intention of negotiating at all! The act of killing a hostage every three minutes only It’s just a way to show off his brutal methods, I think he is deliberately imitating the law enforcer Tang.”

"But Law Enforcer Tang has never intentionally killed civilians. Why do you think Daniel Shinoda is imitating Tang Ji?"

"Daniel Shinoda has been imitating Tangji ever since he embarked on the road of crime. In fact, it is not just him, but also many superhuman criminals. They do not shy away from their criminal behavior, and even deliberately commit crimes in an environment where they are under the spotlight. Committing crimes to achieve the goal of becoming famous quickly."

"You are accusing"

"Yes, that's what I mean. It was Tang Ji who brought this trend. He committed a crime but did not receive the punishment he deserved. On the contrary, he became an anti-hero and gained great support from the people. , this kind of behavior encourages the breeding of superhuman criminals!”

"Look at today's news. How many superhuman criminals are committing crazy crimes in live broadcasts around the world? And all of this broke out after Tangji's battle of the century. It's hard to say that these people are not paying tribute."

"So, do you have anything to say to Daniel Shinoda who is committing a crime?"

"Negotiations are meaningless. If you want more hostages to survive, the law enforcers had better start an onslaught immediately. Or, let people who are more suitable for dealing with such superhuman beings do this."

"Are you saying that law enforcement should ask for help from those masked vigilantes?"

"Yes, this is undoubtedly the best way. Compared to negative images like Tang Ji, I have always firmly believed that as an emerging group of superhumans, there must be existences with higher moral standards and a stronger sense of responsibility."

"Look! What is that? A hovercraft?" The reporter at the scene quickly turned the camera, allowing the audience to see the large hovercraft slowly descending in the sky.

As the hatch opened, Diligent, who was wearing a tight-fitting suit, fell from the air. He slammed down the alloy war stick in his hand and relied on his intuition to block the invisible force field shield. He saved a man who was trying to get close to the building and dragged him away. Enforcer of the wounded.

Afterwards, the highly recognizable Mrs. Generosity also walked out of the cabin and slowly floated down three to four meters above the ground, like a fairy coming to the world.

She waved her hand and splashed a flash of shining starlight, and the wounds of the wailing wounded immediately stopped bleeding.

"It's the Seven Virtues!" The reporters and experts who had received the money in advance immediately started a duet on the front and backstage. Not only did they explain each other's origins in one sentence, the experts also began to introduce the background of the team and its past deeds.

There is absolutely no lower limit to this kind of commercial flattery. The Seven Virtues have only appeared for the second time, and experts have already touted them as the future of the Federation and the new hope of mankind. The level is really not very high.

Fortunately, the Seven Virtues at the scene performed well enough. Amidst Daniel Shinoda's angry roar, another young life was thrown away. Countless spectators couldn't bear to see him being cut in half by a force field shield in the air and covering his eyes.

However, modesty-Cathy Walter took a short run-up from the cabin, flew straight to the building, and caught the hostage in the air!

The ferocious force field shield hit Humble's back hard, but the next second, the damage caused was transferred by Cathy to Daniel Shinoda himself.

The nearby drone clearly captured footage of Daniel Shinoda falling to the ground. A deep wound appeared on his waist and abdomen, almost disemboweling him.

PS: I will correct the typos later. Rourou caught a cold and had a stuffy nose so I had to sleep in my arms. I was tired.
