I'm not a cyberpsycho

Around six or seven o'clock, during the morning rush hour, the attack by the red tengu ended.

Police stations across the Night City were burned to the ground, and the entire building of the NCPA Metropolitan Police Department headquarters was blown up.

Before the attackers were surrounded by heavy troops, they quickly set up the automatic defense mode for the heavy equipment that could not be evacuated, and the mecha SMS turret that was not guarding against movement. After the support was cut off for a period of time, it self-destructed over a large area, destroying it. The infrastructure in the center of the city blocked the pursuers.

As for the core personnel, they had long been broken into pieces one by one, got into the subway track, and blended into the crowd of office workers commuting from the suburbs, without a trace.

Hey, I just carried out my terrorist attack and didn't even interfere with everyone's clocking in at work. It's so considerate.

What? There was a terrorist attack and you still come to work?

Hey, it looks like what you said, so what if? Even if there is a knife in the sky, I still have to go to work!

Ahem, in short, Akainu's attack this time is really beautiful, clean and neat, just like coming and leaving when he wants, like washing a public toilet with blood, no less than a slap in the face of the security system.

In the ruins of the Metropolitan Police Department, the agents of the Security Bureau who collected the remains for scanning were all sullen and silent, saying that it was a bit too much to be mourning for a concubine, almost like being fed a piece of shit.

Then Li Pan came over with one hand in his trouser pocket and a can in the other, leisurely watching the show in the crowd.

"Hey, Uncle Chen, you have to leave work so early."

The agents looked at him with anger but did not dare to speak. Chen Tan also sighed, put the bullet casing in his hand into the evidence bag and threw it to the security drone. He stood up and walked towards Li Pan, who was looking around outside the cordon.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Me? No, no, it's none of my business. I just happened to pass by and have fun."

Li Pan took a look at the corpses on the ground.

"How many people died this time? Many high officials were killed, right?"

Chen Tan, "Waiting for the official announcement."

"Don't be so cold, Uncle Chen. You weren't like this when you came to see me. Why don't you just have some communication? Can I treat you to morning tea?"

Chen Tan also knew that Li Pan was a petty guy and couldn't offend him, so he had no choice but to follow him to a nearby restaurant with a stinking face.

Li Pan ordered a bunch of synthetic meat burgers, coffee and tea, and set up a table. He was not polite and just sucked his fingers while eating and asked,

"By the way, Uncle Chen, how come not a single Lei Gen died?"

Chen Tan was about to take a sip of coffee when he stopped, frowning and raising his eyes to stare at the man opposite.

"What do you mean?"

"Wow, look at this list."

Li Pan spread his hands to play the live news broadcast, opened the scrolling message about the death of a citizen, and scrolled down.

"The attacker was the NCPA. How could it be possible that not even a single Lei Gen was killed? The probability is wrong, right?

And I just went to their engagement dinner last night, and I thought I would have another table to eat today. "

Li Pan was really confused.

its not right? Didn't we agree that we would exterminate the Regan family and build a 'divine shrine'? Could there be any deviation from the plan again?

Or was it because his murder of Yamada Reika was revealed and the other party also changed their battle plan?

Chen Tan was not surprised.

"Isn't this obvious? People just take advantage of this loophole.

You also said that the new member of the Reagan family held a banquet yesterday, and the three-headed dogs were deployed to protect important officials. "

Uh, okay, three-headed dog...

Although everyone is a dog, the restraint relationship between dogs is actually quite clear.

Although the Red Tengu is powerful, it is always outclassed when it encounters the three-headed dog. Its technical equipment, tactical experience and experience are not at an advantage.

After all, the three-headed dog is an armed force specially approved by the committee, representing the committee's ceiling-level combat power. From prosthetics to bullets, they are the best in the world.

But the Red Tengu is a free-flying mad dog, convulsing at any time and anywhere, and will run away without leaving a trace after being bitten.

The three-headed dogs have one biggest disadvantage. They are tied by chains around their necks and cannot be unlocked without authorization. They can be kicked away when they are no longer useful.

So this time the three-headed dog was also tied up, tied to the owner's side.

According to the information revealed by Uncle Chen, the three-headed dog is not only responsible for the security of dignitaries at the Reagan family banquet. After the security system alerted about the attack, they were also divided into small teams and sent to rescue and evacuate the dignitaries immediately.

It wasn't until the three-headed dogs escorted all the VIPs to the security system's nuclear battle bunkers and military fortresses that they returned to the city to clean up the mess.

As a result, when they arrived, the NCPA's armed police force had already been defeated by the Akai Tengu, and the buildings were blown up. A group of crazed Akainu demolished the house, and all the shadows were gone.

So there was a huge fight that night, but the mayor, director, director, and the Reagan family didn't have any trouble at all.

On the contrary, in the NCPA, those forces that did not belong to Regan, those whose relationships were so bad that when someone married their daughter to treat them to dinner, they were specially arranged to work overtime in the bureau and stay behind, they were so unlucky that few of them survived. . They were either torn to pieces by machine cannons, blown into fly ash by thermobaric bombs, or buried in collapsed ruins. The amount of human tissue that could be collected was measured in square centimeters.

But then again, since Yamada Reika said she wanted to destroy the Regen family, she shouldn't have failed to take into account the existence of the power of the three-headed dog, right?

And looking at the Red Tengu retreating so neatly, could it be that...the attack is not over yet...

"What's wrong? Do you care about the Reagan family?"

Seeing Chen Tan staring over, Li Pan said,

"I don't care about them, but the groom is..."

Chen Tan naturally knew about Ito Ryoma. After thinking about it, he handed Li Pan a card.

“The security system has a positioning program on each agent that tracks the location and physiological condition of each Security Agency agent.

Once an agent is on the verge of death, first aid teams and support units will be automatically called, and surrounding citizen signals will be automatically tracked.

This puppet is for internal inspection and can only be used once. It can temporarily shut down the security system's tracking and positioning of agents. "

Li Pan was speechless, "Uncle Chen, look at this, I didn't mean that..."

"Okay, let's take your revenge now. It won't be over until it's over. I'd be annoyed if you don't bother me..."

Chen Tan waved his hand impatiently, took a hamburger and ate it.

Li Pan was also sweating. Everyone saw that it was the Security Bureau who asked him to take revenge.

"Thank you very much. Oh, and those mechas..."

Uncle Chen casually sent over the current investigation report on the scene.

"They were all set to self-destruct, and the system was wiped clean by the golem. Muramasa Industries said that the test machine was stolen, huh, just think it was stolen. This time they even connected Takamagahara's military-grade Vulcan cannon Even thermobaric bombs can be 'stealed', so what else can't be stolen?"

Seeing Uncle Chen's arrogant look, Li Pan happily continued to stimulate him,

"Wow, is your security bureau okay? Are you seriously maintaining law and order? Why are there more and more red tengu attacks?

If this continues, can we law-abiding, tax-paying citizens still be able to go to work and make money with peace of mind? "

Uncle Chen glanced at him with a look like "Who do you think is to blame?"

"After the demise of the Tokugawa family, the original Four Heavenly Kings were expelled from the fleet, and all their retainers, Hatamoto, became unemployed. Now a large number of ronin have flowed into the mercenary market, most of them are professional soldiers, and some people have joined the Red Tengu army. Not surprising."

Li Pan also looked at him with a look that said, "It's none of my business."

"Hey, is this part of it? The whole city of NCPA has been praised, at least one division, right?

Moreover, no severance pay will be given when fired, and there will not even be veterans' pensions. In the final analysis, it is still Takamagahara's problem, right?

By the way, speaking of this, I heard that Hashiba has been very arrogant recently, and now they are overtly and covertly supporting the Red Tengu attack on the NCPA, which is really not giving you face!

Does the bureau really have nothing to do with them? Why don't you, Uncle Chen, send me a mission, and I'll help you out, teach him a lesson, and collect his bones? "

After hearing this, Uncle Chen ate his hamburger, thought about it, and shook his head.

"…Forget it."

Li Pan was surprised to see that he could endure it.

"What? The person they are attacking is your direct unit! The next step is to step on your face!"

But Uncle Chen still shook his head,

"We have no confidence in dealing with Takamagahara."

"Ah, ah?"

Li Pan was speechless for a moment.

"No, Uncle Chen, it's boring for you to be so humble, right? You're not sure about Gao Tianyuan? Last time our company only used one Dreadnought, okay?"

Uncle Chen looked at Li Pan, was silent for a while, and finally spoke,

"They are not the only ones on Earth called Takamagahara. They also have a fleet in the Orion Arm."

"Orion?"

Uncle Chen sent Li Pan a star map, but it was different from the common solar system coordinate axes, it was at the Milky Way level.

“The solar system is here, in the Orion-arm, the secondary arm between the Centaur Arm and the Perseus Arm.

The Orion spiral arm is about 3,500 light-years wide and 10,000 light-years long. In astronomical units, it is about 630 * 220 million astronomical units.

In this area, there are 5,300 stars and 2,100 galaxies.

Takamagahara's fleet may be hidden in every star's gravity well, and every galaxy may have Takamagahara's deep space base.

However, after the Earth surrendered, the connection with Orion was also severed. Who knows how many more people are hiding in deep space. "

Li Pan was stunned for a moment.

"Wha, what? No, why is Gao Tianyuan so strong?"

"Is it strong..."

Uncle Chen shrugged.

“I can’t say that they are stronger, I can only say that the strategic direction is different.

Are the committee companies doing business? They all like to surround the star gate and focus on developing the solar system. After all, the trade system in the heavens is beneficial to them. Since they can trade directly through the door, there is no need to go all the way to find resources outside the spiral arm.

Later competitors like Gao Tianyuan were more inclined to follow the Legion route when the Stargate system was too far away from other universes. Expand outward, use the solar system as the capital, the Kuiper Belt as the moat, and Orion as the core development area, and then continue outward toward Centaur and Perseus.

So you have no idea where their expedition ships and colonies have gone, in which universe, which galaxy, or in which corner there may be remnants of the Legion. "

Li Pan frowned for a moment.

"So Gao Tianyuan really has the paper strength to challenge the committee?

But since they still have so many outer space colonies and fleets, why do they do it so easily..."

"Surrender? Of course because there is no fight."

Uncle Chen shook his head and said,

"Yes, the legion mode can obtain a large amount of resources from the universe, but if the steps are too big and the stalls are spread too wide, it will not be able to manage it.

You can do the math yourself. Even for a WARP500 ship, if it spans the entire Orion spiral arm, the light transition time will be more than two weeks.

And you can't keep jumping. Considering the load of the jump battery, fuel supply, and the mental state of the navigator, it will actually take at least one or two years to sail back and forth in the entire Orion spiral arm area.

For a ship like Gao Tianyuan with an average WARP speed of only 5 to 10, it would take even longer. Their colonies are scattered throughout Orion, and even if they have the potential to fight a protracted war, it is impossible to mobilize them repeatedly.

So in the last war, when the Security Committee and the fleet raided and destroyed the three main Titan fleets guarding the solar system, Takamagahara simply admitted defeat.

But now, haha, twenty years have passed, and I think their fleet has almost been rebuilt.

As for you, hey, you are fighting over a cup, and you are fighting so fiercely that half of the garrisoned fleet has been consumed internally. The Spice War has just begun, and it will not be finished in a while.

Not to mention Europa and Copernicus, so many people died, and most of them were military officers, parliamentarians, scientific research officers, and company managers. The various basic local functions of the committee almost stopped functioning. If there is a war, who will organize the fleet?

Look, look, now even the NCPA has raided the house, leaving us agents here picking up rags. What do you want me to do to suppress Gao Tianyuan? I'm just thankful they didn't cause any trouble! "

Li Panhan alone. No wonder, the root of Yu Shiba's rampant emotions lies here. Calculating the paper strength alone, he is 50-50 against the committee...

"But, I've also learned about the Civil War in Takamagahara. How come I've never heard of these things? Or Orion and so on...is it a new setting?"

After all, the guy in front of him is the culprit of this situation. Uncle Chen couldn't help but choked him,

"Interstellar grand strategy is an elective course for the command department of the military academy. Why do you, an engineering school graduate, know so much? You just need to be able to repair cars."

Li Pan, "..."

Anyway, I had a meal with Uncle Chen, chatted for a while, and updated some new world views.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he didn't bother Uncle Chen to collect the body, and walked a few streets with the jar of green sprouts in his arms. He came to the CIS campus not far from the Metropolitan Police Headquarters, where the company building was originally located.

The former company building was gutted by rivals in the Holy Grail competition, but now it has been rebuilt and looks exactly the same. Once the bidding war is over, the place will reopen.

It's not that the company doesn't have the money to move to a new location, or that it has signed a long-term contract with CIS or something. According to the instructions on the landline, the company's address has been calculated. It is probably similar to the Uzumaki Gang's crematorium, which is a fixed boundary. entrance.

As usual, Li Pan took the elevator upstairs, turned on the lights, and entered the manager's office. Then he put the green plant jar in his arms on the desk and picked up the Holy Grail on the table.

Well, you don’t even need a silver key. It’s much easier than you thought. It’s as easy as going back to the office to get a tea cup...

After tearing up a few pieces of paper and packing the Holy Grail in the office area, Li Pan planned to send the Holy Grail to K for use. As a result, as soon as he left the gate of CIS, a sparkling luxury car stopped in front of him and intercepted him.

kindness? Wait, this car isn't...

The car window opened, and Yamada REIKA looked at Li Pan with a smile.

"Manager Li, what a coincidence. I'll give you a ride wherever you want to go."

WTF...how could this guy...

Li Pan stared at her for a while with his eyes open, then blinked and rushed into the door of 'Decontamination'.

Yamada Reika was soaking in the pool of blood, while Yamada REIKA was sitting in the car with a smile.

Li Pan stared at her, "What's your name?"

Yamada Reika, "My name is, Yamada Reika."

Yamada REIKA, "Oh, it's only been a few days and you don't remember me now. How noble people forget things. I am REIKA."

...twin sisters? Clone? Robot? Bionic body? Disguise? Optical camouflage? Or simply borrow the identity authority of ‘Citizen Yamada Reika’ to facilitate movement.

Li Pan couldn't see through the other party's true identity for a while, so he was silent for a moment and got into the car.

The coupe took off silently and quickly became invisible in the clouds. And REIKA didn't hide it and looked at the paper bag in Li Pan's hand with a smile.

"Oh my, isn't this the legendary 'Holy Grail'?"

Li Pan hesitated for a moment and temporarily suppressed the urge to pour her into the cup and drink it.

"what do you want."

REIKA smiled and said, "Manager Li, are you still a 'temporary worker' now? Have you considered changing jobs?"

Li Pan looked at her, "Sage Company wants to recruit me?"

REIKA smiled and shook his head, Tu Qiong Dagger saw it.

"It's not a sage, it's a collector's alliance. If you are willing to come to our side, you can directly serve as the S68 site director."

"Oh, ACA, just give me Ms. Belia's seat."

"Exactly." REIKA smiled and nodded, "With your current strength, you are fully qualified to manage the affairs of a site."

That's true. If we simply use the strength of the big devil to judge whether he is qualified to be the site director, Li Pan did not dare to say that he would win without Beichen Jianqi cheating before, but now, he can be brutally tortured.

"Then let's hear about your treatment. How much is your annual salary?"

REIKA smiled and said,

"There is no annual salary. Our Collectors Association is not a for-profit organization, but more of an academic exchange meeting based on interest. Naturally, there is no monopoly of resources and technology here, and there is no distinction between upper and lower classes. Everyone We are allies who help each other on an equal footing, and each site manager is also responsible for its own profits and losses..."

Damn, it’s okay even if you don’t give me any money.

Li Pan rolled his eyes and opened the car door, "Goodbye..."

This was probably the first time REIKA encountered such a decisive person, so she quickly said,

"Of course, we have many members with strength and capital. They will regularly invest in the association fund and allocate funds to each site. It is used for the maintenance and management of monsters. Every time you get a new collection, you will also get rewards. For example, if you are like this If you are willing to jump here with the Holy Grail, I think the first investment will be at least 1.8 trillion."

Li Pan laughed when he heard this,

"Hey, even the figures for the second bid are so clear, so Terra Holdings is also a member of the Collector?"

REIKA nodded,

"Exactly, as you are the acting manager, you should naturally know that the purpose of our Collectors Association is to break TheM's monopoly on monsters.

Excellent managers like you have always been the target of our vigorous recruitment.

Money is no problem, if you are willing to join us, the association can help you, remove your name from the filing cabinet, and get rid of TheM's control..."

Li Pan raised his hand directly,

"Thank you for your appreciation, but please forgive me for refusing."

REIKA was choked for a moment,

"You refused very decisively. As far as I know, TheM's treatment is not very good, right? Don't you want to listen to the conditions here?"

Li Pan buttoned his nose,

"Forget it, when you were recruiting, you didn't talk about the benefits at all. God knows what a pitfall you are when you get hired. Of course, I'm not saying that I have to work for TheM until death, but at least I have to be on the side of the winner, right?

Is your collectors association really as awesome as you brag about? If you are really sure of defeating the company, why don't you show your true skills, win the Holy Grail War, and expel TheM from this world? Then I promise to surrender with both hands and feet!

Don't wait for a long time, I jumped to your company, oh, in the end, I have to fight the company alone, I am exhausted, I have no money to make, and I am not a human being inside and outside. Then I might as well lie in the office and clock in. Anyway, the money I made recently will be enough for the rest of my life. "

REIKA was also silent for a while,

"Manager Li, our association is still in its infancy and is not yet a rival to Monster Company, but I do recruit you with sincerity this time.

Frankly speaking, you alone were able to push back so many bidders, which was extremely rare in the past when competing for the Holy Grail. Now, because you chose to side with TheM, the Holy Grail bidding battle can no longer continue. .

Now it's a very simple cost consideration. With the strength of your company's reorganized fleet, even if our side has a large number of people, we have no chance of winning. Therefore, if we want to win a decisive victory in the fleet battle, we must follow up. , at least a budget of hundreds of billions will have to be invested. If the war cannot be ended quickly, the subsequent consumption will be sky-high.

But what if we really win the fleet battle? I still need to defeat you directly to get the Holy Grail, right? Judging solely from the combat effectiveness you displayed when you endorsed the 'AG-RS' series, it is difficult to achieve this goal, let alone the endless monsters of TheM.

What's more, even if we really try our best to defeat TheM, what will happen?

Just get a Holy Grail? Or is this 0791 Earth?

This place is far away from the trade center of the world, and there are also indigenous rebels like Gao Tianyuan and Red Tengu. After comprehensive consideration, it is really not worth spending such a high price..."

Li Pan smiled and looked at her nonsense.

One after another, what she said seemed to be true. If she hadn't just drank a cup of Yamada Reika sauce and knew that the other party was here for the "Whisperer" from the beginning, Li Pan would almost believe her.

"What, you don't want to play anymore? Do you want to surrender and lose half?"

REIKA thought for a while and actually nodded.

"Okay, just surrender and lose half, I will convey the message on your behalf and negotiate with Terra.

The price of the Holy Grail during the second bid was one hundred and eighty trillion, and Terra won ownership.

As long as your company is willing to pay half the price of the Holy Grail, ninety trillion, Terra will withdraw the bid.

The remaining thing is the transaction between your company and other bidders, as well as the Ye family. Not only Terra, but our association is no longer involved. How about it? "

Hi! Are you withdrawing the bid? ACA not participating? Just kidding, how much do you think the Holy Grail is worth? Isn’t the company just here for you? Is it okay if the real owner ran away?

But Li Pan just smiled, spit into his palm, stretched out his hand,

"Okay, I'm too lazy to fight. As long as you can convince them, I will make a suggestion to the company.

As for other things, we can talk about it later? "

REIKA smiled and nodded, holding his hand,

"That's settled."
