Start in Night City

"It went pretty well."

Su Xiao, on the other hand, was expressionless and showed no polish: "If we want to celebrate, let's wait until we go out. Opening champagne at halftime is taboo."

It seemed to confirm his words.

The next moment, T-BUG's panicked voice sounded.

"It's not good. Arasaka Yorinobu has got rid of Kojima Hideyoshi's entanglement. He and Zhonghami are walking towards the elevator you are riding in."

V and Jack were both shocked.

There is more than one elevator in the Kanbi Building. How could it be a coincidence that they came to the elevator they were in?

If he didn't do anything and just arrived on the first floor, he would definitely bump into Arasaka Yorinobu and the heavy hammer who were waiting for the elevator.

It's easy to say that the heavy hammer is heavy, but Yori Xuan can definitely recognize it at a glance. The box Jack is carrying is the box Yori Xuan uses to store relic.

Then there will be no Barbie Q by then?

No, we can't just go down to the first floor.

Thoughts were spinning, and Lidya Su quickly had an idea.

Their eyes stayed on the display screen showing the floor. When the elevator descended to the forty-second floor, which was the floor where the lapis lazuli suite that T-BUG had chosen for them before was located...

Su Xiao quickly pressed the 42 and door-opening keys respectively.

The elevator stopped quickly and the elevator doors opened.

"Su, what do you want to do? Do we have to carry such a big box back to the room?"

"Isn't Arasaka Yorinobu waiting for the elevator? Then let's let him go. We'll go down after Arasaka Yorinobu goes up first."

Su Xiao took the initiative to get out of the elevator, and V followed without hesitation.

And before Su Xiao could say anything, he cut off the nearby cameras.

Jack thought for a while and came out with the box.

Just as Lidya Su thought.

After they vacated the elevator, it first descended to the first floor, and then quickly went up toward the top of the building.

At this time, Lidya Su suddenly remembered something.

"BUG, are you still connected to the hotel's subnet?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I have a bad feeling. Anyway, I already have the stuff. You'd better quit quickly. If you are discovered by other hackers in Arasaka, you will be in trouble."

"Then what do you do?"

"It's okay, we'll be out right away."

"Okay, be careful, I'll exit the hotel subnet."

Su Xiao turned her head and looked in the direction of the Lapis Gold Suite.

"Is Little Flathead still in the hotel's control room now?"

V nodded: "You should still be there, what's wrong?"

"It would be a pity to take it out and treat such a good thing as a disposable item."

A trace of worry appeared on V's face: "But if we take it and leave, I'm afraid it will trigger the alarm at the door. We shouldn't pay attention at this time."

"As long as we don't take it through the front door, will it be alright? V, you control it instead of Jack and let the small flathead drill the ventilation duct. First find a place to hide on the first floor. After we get out, you can control it wholeheartedly to find a way out. Cangbi Building, meet us outside."

Both of them's eyes lit up when they heard this.

yes.

In such a big hotel, you can just find a window and climb out.

Of course, people can't use this method, because there are guards patrolling the courtyard outside the hotel, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

But a small crew cut can do it.

Because it has photothermal camouflage armor, it is invisible to human eyes and monitors.

"for you."

Jack took off the chip that controlled the flat head and handed it over.

V took it and inserted it into his nerve socket.

He began to control Little Flathead to leave the monitoring room.

"Three distinguished guests, may I serve you in any way?"

Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.

It was the staff member on duty behind the service desk. When he saw Su Xiao and the others coming out of the elevator and standing outside the elevator, he came forward and asked.

There is not only a service desk in the lobby on the first floor, but also a service desk on every floor of the hotel.

To use the slogan of Kanbi Building itself, it is - "This is to better serve guests."

"Thank you, but no, we remembered that something suddenly happened, so we have to go back first."

While he was talking, the elevator in front of him had already taken Arasaka Yorinobu and Zhonghami up, and then descended back to the 42nd floor, stopping in front of Su Xiao and others.

"When our elevator arrives, we'll leave first."

The three of them entered the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Outside the door are staff members bowing ninety degrees.

"Yes, guests, please walk slowly. Thank you for staying. Kanbi Building welcomes you to visit us next time."

Feel the elevator continue to descend, gradually approaching the first floor.

Jack exhaled.

"so close."

V also looked like he was surviving a disaster.

Lidya Su also relaxed a little.

I originally thought that I would be trapped in the penthouse suite by Arasaka Yorinobu and the mysterious visitor on the floating car, and would be in a dilemma.

But they finally escaped.

What you have to do next is very simple.

He swaggered down from the elevator next to the entrance of the lobby, went to the underground parking lot, got into a Delamain taxi, and fled.

Although Arasaka Yorinobu had already gone up, when he took out the freezer containing the relic, he sank the safe back into the ground.

Unless Yorinobu Arasaka opens the safe again and checks it.

Otherwise he would never know that the thing was missing.

However, there was a question that had been hanging in Su Xiao's mind for a long time.

Who was sitting in the floating car that landed directly on the roof of the hotel?

…

In the Tavernier Suite on the top floor of the Chambi Building.

Saburo Arasaka stood with his hands behind his back.

It was obvious that he was already an old man who was almost buried up to his neck in loess.

But it exudes a powerful, unquestionable, and majestic aura.

Even the heavy hammer, which had been stained with unknown amounts of blood, just stood at a distance like a primary school student.

And Arasaka Yorinobu sat on the low stool dejectedly.

Like a rebellious boy who was caught by his father.

"Takemura, please let us talk alone."

Goro Takemura, who was scanning the entire room, immediately turned around to face Saburo Arasaka: "Sir Saburo, I haven't done a full scan yet."

"No need to do that, this is my son's room."

Goro Takemura glanced at the heavy hammer standing in the distance with vigilant and fearful eyes: "Yes, do you need me to get what you want to get this time?"

Adam Hammer.

A notorious Night City gangster.

It was Arasaka who gave him a chance to regain his life.

Although he is also loyal to Arasaka, he is also a valet of the Arasaka clan.

But Goro Takemura looked down on the heavy hammer.

In his eyes, it would not surprise him that a mercenary like this who was only motivated by fame, money, and power would betray Arasaka anytime.

but……

Goro Takemura had to admit that even for himself, the winning rate against Heavy Hammer was about 50-50.

There is no guarantee of victory.

"Leave it to me, you can go."

Takemura Goro bowed deeply.

Then walk to the elevator.

Then……

He found that the elevator door would not open.

Someone is using it.

Helpless, Goro Takemura had no choice but to go back to the rooftop in the direction he came from.

Although Saburo Arasaka did not speak.

But since even his loyal servants have to avoid suspicion, let alone himself.

Regarding his own identity, Zhonghamo is still very clear about it.

He knew that everything he had was given to him by Arasaka.

Without Arasaka, he would be nothing but a pile of rotten meat.

It has long since stinked and rotted.

Although he is very strong.

But this power Arasaka can give to himself, and he can take it back at any time.

Therefore, Heavy Hammer consciously followed Goro Takemura up to the rooftop without saying a word.

After the two left, Saburo Arasaka sighed.

"When will you really grow up?"

Lai Xuan's eyelids twitched: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Why can't you be like Jing? Be like him?"

Arasaka Kei.

Saburo's eldest son and Yori Nobu's brother.

Compared with Arasaka Yorinobu, the rebellious son, Arasaka Kei is the most perfect and the most satisfactory heir to Saburo.

But to Saburo's regret and regret, his most proud son, Kei Arasaka, died in the Fourth Company War.

"Like him?" When Yori Xuan heard Arasaka Kei's name, he stood up as if he had been stabbed in a painful spot.

"Do you think that I am old like you, so I have forgotten the things he did to me?"

Lai Xuan gritted his teeth and blushed.

Completely opposite to just now.
