Start in Night City

The two came to the door of the monitoring room on the third floor.

Su Xiao used scanning again.

The tactical eyepiece showed that there were only two people in the control room.

Among them was the target of their trip—the hacker from the Eden Gang.

In addition to the hacker lying dead, another guard who should have been watching the surveillance screen was playing with his phone with his head down.

It seems that his faith is not strong enough.

He went to work to catch fish.

Su Xiao winked at Lucy.

No dialogue is even required.

The other party already understood what Lidya Su meant.

Lucy's eyes flashed red, and the automatic door of the monitoring room opened.

When the door opened automatically, Su Xiao sprinted in like a cheetah.

Before the guard who was playing with his cell phone could react, he held his head with both hands and twisted it hard.

Click!

With just a crisp sound of bones breaking, the guard's neck was broken by Su Xiao.

As a result, the only hacker left in the control room was wandering in the cyberspace and was unaware of the arrival of the two people from beginning to end.

Lucy wasn't polite either.

After entering the monitoring room, without saying a word, he stepped forward and unplugged his network cable.

The hacker's body suddenly jumped up from the chair like a fish that landed on the beach.

Then he rolled and fell off the chair.

There was no more movement.

If someone forcibly pulls out the network cable while in cyberspace, it will look like this.

Never wake up again.

Su Xiao observed through the surveillance screen that none of the Eden Gang members in the building complex were alarmed.

I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately called the old captain to report that he was safe.

"Old Captain, I am Su. The commission is completed. T-BUG should be safe now."

The old captain's face was full of joy: "Well done, Su, I will pay the reward to your account as soon as she calls the money. Where are you now? Have you come out?"

"No, I just unplugged the hacker's network cable, and it's still in the Eden Gang's stronghold."

The joy that the old captain had just shown suddenly froze on his face: "Damn it, can't you call me after you get out? Get out of that damn place quickly, Su, don't stop for a moment!"

The communication ends quickly.

Su Xiao could hear the concern in the old captain's words.

No wonder everyone who has worked with the old captain respects him and gives him a resounding title.

In contrast, Faraday, another middleman in Saint-Domingue.

Although he is a human being, he does not do anything related to others.

"Let's go, get out of here first...Rebecca, Lucy and I have secured the target and are coming out. You can help us keep an eye on the situation outside."

The first words were said to Lucy, but the latter words were said to Rebecca.

"Copy that, I'm keeping an eye on it. There's nothing unusual at the moment."

Although Rebecca was dissatisfied that Su Xiao did not take her with her.

But she still understands the rules of mercenaries.

He didn't act like a child and ignore them, but he really did his duty to help Lidya Su and Lucy and pay attention to the situation outside.

Su Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

The idea of ​​bringing Rebecca here was indeed the right one.

Su Xiao dragged the two bodies on the ground out of the monitoring room.

Throw it outside in the glove box.

Prepare to return the same way you came.

But wait until two

When people came from the third floor to the second floor, the rooms on both sides of the corridor on the second floor suddenly opened.

A large number of Eden Gang members who were playing cards, sleeping, playing games, maintaining firearms, exercising, etc., doing various things in the room, actually walked out of the room without any warning.

Lidya Su responded quickly.

He hurriedly pulled Lucy and hid in the blind spot at the corner of the wall.

At the same time, turn on the scan mode of the tactical eyepiece.

Scan the entire complex.

At this time he was surprised to find out.

Eden Gang members throughout the complex.

I don’t know what happened, but everyone was shocked.

Now these people are all gathered in the lobby on the first floor and in the courtyard outside.

If you want to go back the way you came and enter the secret passage from the basement, you must first pass through the lobby on the first floor.

When they came up before, there was no one in the lobby on the first floor, so they were able to sneak all the way over with the help of the terrain and environment.

The lobby on the first floor is crowded now, how can we get down?

There was no other way, so Su Xiao had no choice but to return to the monitoring room with Lucy and call Rebecca.

"Rebecca, what's going on outside?"

"I don't know. I can only see the guard standing guard at the door, who has retreated into the wall. Obviously nothing happened outside."

Lidya Su's mind was spinning rapidly.

The first thing that comes to mind is, has their whereabouts been discovered?

But then he thought again, this shouldn't be the case.

If they were really discovered, the guards should run upward instead of gathering below.

Something must have happened, an unexpected situation that they didn't know about.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao gave instructions in the team voice channel.

"Rebecca, please drive farther away first. Lucy and I are hiding in a good location without being discovered. Don't worry about us. Protect yourself first."

"Okay, then I'll change places and continue to observe, you guys be careful."

At this time, Lidya Su felt herself being patted lightly by Lucy.

"Su, look over there."

Looking in the direction Lucy was pointing, I saw something abnormal in one of the many pictures on the surveillance screen.

He immediately stepped forward to operate it and maximized the picture.

Judging from the picture, it should be a camera placed near the gate.

In the surveillance footage, the gate to the fence slowly opens.

Not long after, four police patrol cars and a news gathering communications vehicle roared in.

The driver of one of the patrol cars also deliberately showed off his skills.

A drift left a long black mark in the center of the courtyard where the tire rubbed against the ground.

Lidya Su and Lucy looked at each other.

They all saw the same doubts as their own from the surprised faces of the other party.

"NCPD and News 54? What are they doing here?"

…

"Hello everyone, this is News 54. I am Emma, ​​a frontline intern reporter. What I am reporting to you now is the NCPD's raid on one of the Sixth Street Gang's strongholds."

"As we all know, gangs are a cancer in this city, a breeding ground for crime. Gang members are like rats and cannot be eliminated."

"Director Jerry Fult is deeply aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and is determined to eradicate..."

Another staff member quickly came up and waved: "Stop, stop, stop, Emma, ​​isn't that how the news is broadcast?"

Emma looked confused.

Don't understand where I went wrong.

"Any questions?"

"We are News 54, the mouthpiece of "Military Technology" and "New America." If you report so truthfully, the sponsor's father will not be satisfied after reading it. Do you still want to become a regular employee? Do you want to work as an intern for the rest of your life? "

Emma shook her head.

Seeing this, the staff member patiently taught me step by step.

"So, you have to learn to step on one and hold one on the other, understand? You have to say this -"

"Oh, God, look at the deplorable crime rate in Night City." "

""Night City, this beautiful home built by Richard Knight, has now become a place of filth and evil. How sad and regrettable." "

""The moral corruption in Night City is increasing, and the culprit causing all this is the so-called 'freedom and independence'." "

""Since Night City's independence, its crime rate has been far twice that of New America." "

""No matter how you look at it, if Night City can return to the embrace of New America, it can help and improve the city's current poor security situation." "

Her "putting aside the facts" way of speaking made Emma stunned.

"You have to learn to mix private goods into it. What does New America like to hear most? What they like to hear most is the mess in Night City. What they like to hear most is how Night City will be after it becomes independent..."

"Because this will prove that Night City cannot leave New America. You can say whatever the sponsor's dad likes. You just say what the sponsor's dad likes to hear. Do you understand?"

Emma nodded in understanding.

Then a question was raised.

"Well, if we say this, will the NCPD be unhappy?"

The staff member slapped himself on the forehead.

"That's right, it's an occupational disease.

The NCPD has a habit of hacking, and they forgot that Director Forte spent a lot of money on this trip..."

"In this way, you make two versions, and the one shown to the NCPD should be more reserved and show that "Although crime thrives in Night City, the NCPD still stands up and fights for citizens and justice despite its shortcomings in all aspects. war". "

"As for the other version, just do what I just said, trying my best to highlight the theme of "Night City must return to New America." This version is for the sponsor's father, so there is nothing wrong with the NCPD. We must put it Night City says the more chaotic and worse the better, do you understand? "

Emma nodded again: "I understand."

"I know you are a smart kid. Don't worry. An outstanding college student like you can become a regular student with just a few more months of hard work, but the first step is to get over this situation first."

"Report it as I just said, do you understand? Okay, let's do it again. The cut just now doesn't count. Let's start again."

Unlike the media, the NCPD, which has been dealing with criminals all year round, smells danger.

"Superintendent Xiangsheng, something seems to be wrong."

"Copycat, please don't turn off the car."

In fact, no reminder from his subordinates was needed. Xiang Sheng Lin Dao, who was responsible for leading the operation, also sensed something bad.

The reason why they are here is because of a task assigned to him by the director of NCPD, Jerry Ford.

Let him lead a team to raid the den of a group of Six Street Gang.
