Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

"The leading woman's name is Twicky. She is not an American, but after her actions in Europe were thwarted, she changed her main venue to the United States——

To be precise, it's Night City. "

Jack's scalp was scratching his head: the name was indeed familiar.

What most street kids in Night City like to watch, besides the exciting Mewtwo, are those that inspire them to engage in illegal activities, such as the old classic "Top Ten Lone Wolves in Night City".

This booklet records the famous living legends in Night City and even across the United States. They are either weird, mysterious, or so powerful that people rush to hire a large and fully armed security team upon hearing their name, or they are They are always the first ones that come to mind when their employers want to do something earth-shatteringly bad: like planting a nuclear bomb at Arasaka Tower.

Twitchy's name is on this manual.

However, in the manual, she is not ranked high, and she does not have any dazzling and memorable prosthetics or equipment.

And these are the legends recorded by people before 2020, when Night City had not been bombed by nuclear bombs, and the Free State was not limited to Northern California:

"I remembered it! The Crow Microcontrol Explosion Case and the Biotechnology Robbery Case, this woman is... the Shaitano of Biotechnology!"

Jack slapped his forehead, and V was very happy: "What the hell, can you speak normally? Who is showing off the camel's milk?"

"It is said that he participated in the nuclear explosion of Arasaka Tower. This man is a mercenary at the level of a cybermaniac and has been using full-body prosthetics for many years.

It is said that he no longer looks like a human being, and even this name is not his original name. This name comes from an ancient legend and belongs to an ancient demon.

He is that devil, Arasaka's devil: as long as you fight Arasaka, you are his good brother. Arasaka also publicly offered a reward for this guy, but we all know the result. Arasaka didn't catch him, but he gave Arasaka a nuclear bomb - —Of course, this is one version of the legend. "

Jack knows all his treasures.

He always said that he didn't necessarily know much about Twitch, but he knew most of the street versions of the Arasaka Tower nuclear bombing. Among them, the version that he was most interested in was that Morgan's black hands and Shaitou were employed by military technology. Version.

Shyeda is Arasaka's nightmare, and Twiki is the nightmare of biotechnology - this is Night City's evaluation of Twiki.

However, before the nuclear explosion, Twicky had committed two major crimes in a row in 2017, and had not done anything major other than that.

Phantom waved his hand and said: "You Americans know nothing. Twitchy's record as a mercenary is not even one percent of what she did in Europe! She used to make trouble like you in Europe. Her job He’s not a mercenary either——

The most serious charges against her by the Soviet Union (Note 1) were political crimes - crimes of social sabotage and ideological terrorism. Do you understand? "

Jack and V pretended to understand and nodded: in their eyes, political prisoners are people who don't know why they are sentenced to outrageous sentences, and most of them look harmless.

As for ideological terrorism and crimes of social destruction, they don't quite understand: maybe it's similar to the pocket crime of undermining capitalism in the company law? Is this the excuse the company uses when it wants to kill someone but can't find an excuse?

But in fact, in the Soviet Union, this pocket crime has other names.

Lear said with great interest: "Continue."

Phantom's ability to observe words seemed to be good, and he immediately added: "This is different from your pocket crime in Night City. This type of criminal has a special place. Once the crime is confirmed, not only those who carry guns with the criminal will be punished. Wall, all those who have financial dealings with criminals will be investigated and then dealt with depending on the situation.”

In fact, to put it in simple words, it means sitting together.

In normal legal procedures, the identities of principal offender, accomplice, instigator, coercion accomplice, accomplice, etc. all require strict evidence. Even in this world, it is impossible to achieve unconditional all-round connection.

After all, it's quite common for companies to engage in illegal activities, and the law actually makes sense: Companies want to make money and are willing to use guns to solve problems, but they won't always solve problems with guns.

Political prisoners, or political prisoners in the Soviet Union, seem to be different.

“This kind of power is recognized by the European Bank, the European Community, Interpol and all organizations that have dealings with the Soviet Union, so you can imagine: if someone is convicted of such a crime, people related to her will not be able to escape. Whether he lives or dies, or how much compensation he pays, all depends on the Soviet Federation’s wishes.”

Phantom said this with some fear and some emotion: "In comparison, you guys, Night City is much better. If the person who works is dead, basically nothing can be found. Even if you check backwards, you can basically find the middleman." It's over.

This woman, Twitchy, is said to have served in the Russian Airborne Forces. After retiring, she became the political prisoner I just mentioned:

Terrorist organizations, including the old Irish Republican Army and the Red 3000, are all related to her. She works in the countryside, cities, and wilderness.

Promote her ideals everywhere, recruit soldiers for terrorist organizations, and provide black market services to people

The first time she did this job was in Prague, where a carnival tour was held. People in the entire city rioted and gathered illegally outside the biotechnology building. People similar to your violent terrorist mobile unit arrived. They rushed over and used riot machine guns to kill hundreds of people——

That was Prague, and the expansion of the European Community was in its final stages, but this guy was there preaching the old Soviet stuff. It was amazing that hundreds of people died, but the rally didn't disband, and the terrorist mobile team was shot down by her and other rally participants.

She grabbed the equipment and bulldozed the biotech building with the locals.

You can imagine how big the impact was: the European Community and the Soviet Union were shocked, and the few who cited abstract words such as social sabotage and ideological terrorists.

Thousands of people died that day, and the others either ran away to become terrorists or were killed by lackeys such as Interpol and corporate agents.

Even the vendors who just sold regular food to Twiggy didn't escape this fate: to be honest, once this crime was established, it meant that everyone who had ever crossed paths with her would become meat on the chopping board, and it wasn't just the people who were paid to do things who were chasing them.

It was a bit complicated, but it was miserable. "

When Phantom said this, Iron Hand remained silent, and there was no difference at all, but Lille could clearly feel his emotions:

He was a survivor.

Lille suddenly pointed at Iron Hand and said, "Does it also include survivors like him?"

Iron Hand's expression, which had never changed for thousands of years, finally showed obvious surprise, and even Phantom did not expect Lille to say this suddenly.

"You... you know a lot." Phantom sighed, "Some of those who survived by chance decided to hug the stinky feet of the rule of law society, and some wanted to be better lickers so that they could move up a level.

The reward for capturing Twicky was very generous, and the same was true for capturing those who had had relationships with her.

In short, many people died, many people resented her, and many people also regarded her as a banner.

Until later, she couldn't make it anymore and came to America, where she was downgraded from a political prisoner to a mercenary who was paid to do things. Maybe she still had the idea of ​​making a comeback. "

Squeak.

A very faint electric current sound was heard.

It was so faint that no one could hear it.

But the source of the sound was a mercenary whose half body had disappeared.

No one present heard the sound of his backup heart starting up, but his limbs were too severely mutilated -

Although the backup heart started up, it was unlikely that he would survive due to his large-scale body mutilation.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the mercenary regained consciousness under the effect of the drug released at the same time as the backup heart started up, and silently shed tears in death, crying secretly.

He also didn't know Why did he cry: Was it because the phantom's words reminded him of their original intention, or because he realized that they were not shooting children, or because he failed to destroy this evil organization that made money from children, or because he was crying for the fate of these children.

He also knew that in a place like Dog Town, this might really be a way out.

Countless past scenes appeared and disappeared in his mind, just like his life.

Lil suddenly stopped as if he had a feeling in his heart -

Not because of this mercenary, but because he received an email.
