The Death Knell

The place where Arasaka Tower is located can be said to be the most prosperous and central area of ​​Night City. Not far from it is the city hall, and it is surrounded by tall buildings, like a circle of high walls.

The plan is very simple, that is to rush in from the main entrance of Arasaka Tower, and then plant a nuclear bomb on the middle floor of the tower. Then everyone goes to the top floor, grabs some valuable things from the office of Saburo Arasaka, the old man, and then takes the speed car arranged by Roger. Leave from the rooftop.

But leaving is just a cover-up. Then everyone will fight back, disguised as firefighters to put out the fire, and sneak into the ruins of Arasaka Tower after the explosion for the second time, and then go to the location of the mikoshi deep underground.

Generally speaking, the simpler the plan, the better. Because the people who execute the plan have different levels, making it too complicated will easily lead to mistakes.

In fact, if it was really for pragmatic purposes, blowing up Arasaka Tower would be a redundant act. Deathstroke sneaked underground alone, and there was no way anyone would discover him.

But people are not machines, and they cannot think about problems only in terms of the ratio of input and output. Su Ming wanted to blow up the Arasaka Tower to make up for the regrets in the game in his previous life. Even if he had some fun, the good mood he would bring would be better than The so-called efficiency makes more sense.

He has been fighting all the time, battling wits and courage with various enemies. Is it to gain strength to better perform tasks or serve society?

No, he just wants to let himself live and live happily, so that his friends and relatives around him can also live well.

So helping Rogge regain his youth was a simple task. Su Ming also wanted to watch the palace fight between her and Ultra for Johnny in the future, just for fun.

I don’t necessarily stare at it, but just lay it out casually. Maybe one day in the future, I will return to this universe again and think about it, 'Ah, I also left a stage here. I just happened to be bored, go and see the changed world. The follow-up plot, hee hee!

That's about it.

However, his casual actions caused a huge psychological impact on others. When everyone got off the bus across the road in front of Arasaka Tower, even though the night was deep and there was only neon lighting, everyone except Shirley I was still shocked by Rogge's new face.

"Ay, Dios mío!" Jack had just gotten out of the car and had not yet stood still. When he saw Roger, he began to rub his eyes wildly and shouted the name of God in Spanish: "You, you."

He couldn't even speak fluently. Even though he had the biggest head among all the people present, it was obvious that big heads did not necessarily have great wisdom. He couldn't understand why Roger turned into a young girl just after driving for a while. .

The queen of middlemen is a veritable grandma, what about now? She looked less than twenty years old at first glance!

"How's it going? I just turned eighteen." Rogge's voice has changed. It is no longer the steady alto, but has a bit of a clip.

She seemed very happy. Even if she rushed into Arasaka Tower and couldn't come back today, at least she would look young when she died. Isn't that good?

"It's so weird, so weird. How did you do it?" V felt goosebumps on her arms. She rubbed her arms: "Obviously it wasn't like this when we got in the car."

Seeing this scene, it feels like seeing time go back. Maybe this is how Johnny Silverhand rushed into Arasaka Tower with Rogge and friends?

The feeling of history reappearing makes V seem to understand what a legend is.

"What's so surprising about this? Look at me." The fake Johnny stepped out of the car, put on his sunglasses smartly, and took out his pistol: "They say people are in high spirits during happy events. When Roger saw me, she suddenly Isn’t it normal to feel younger when you are happy?”

As soon as he opened his mouth, V, who had just had an "epiphany" feeling, was brought back to reality, because this explanation was too perfunctory, and it sounded fake at first sight, leaving no one with the desire to complain.

As for Ciri, who was at the end of the crowd, she was not surprised, because she had long known that anything was possible around Deathstroke. He seemed to have endless means, and she had never seen anything difficult. Live him.

Speaking of which, he really looks like a god.

"Okay, let's get ready to rush in." Rogge posed a few times for everyone to see, but she did not indulge in her youthful beauty. She walked behind the car, opened the trunk, and put forward the tactical nuclear bomb. The box: "You all still remember your mission, right? Now check the watch, weapons and body armor. If someone falls behind, we won't have time to go back and rescue him."

"Don't worry, Sister Rogge." He simply stopped thinking about the things he couldn't figure out. Silly Jack pulled out a large shotgun from the car and loaded it with single-head bullets: "Since it's here, we are all mentally prepared. .”

In the mercenary profession, it is extremely common to be abandoned by others. Do you expect the kind of comradeship in the regular army? Don't even think about it. Everyone is here to make money. Who would risk his life for others?

Of course, he knows, but he will still save his teammates, because he is such a simple man. He grew up in the Valentino Gang, and the education he received since childhood is to talk about brotherhood. This is a Latin gang. As an outsider, he has a foothold in Night City.

"Okay, what about Johnny?" Rogge looked at everyone. Except for Lark, who was acting as a remote support, he got back into the car and was on standby. Everyone had already taken out their guns.

Now the security guards at the entrance of Arasaka Building have noticed a few people, the patrolling soldiers have also turned their guns, and the hidden sentry guns have been raised from the outer walls of the building or from below the ground.

"As we walk, you hide behind me."

Su Ming, who was pretending to be someone else, took action even as he spoke. Even though they were still across the road and courtyard, he raised his hand and opened fire, knocking over the Arasaka security guards at the door from hundreds of meters away.

And when the mecha and the turret wanted to start shooting at everyone, he showed even more terrifying marksmanship. He put the bullet into the opponent's muzzle, causing the barrel to explode.

Ciri, who was silently following his charge, secretly rolled her eyes. This shooting technique was too outrageous. Even if Deathstroke didn't use his superpower, he was still the top warrior in the world.

Using a pistol to hit every enemy's muzzle from a distance of more than 300 meters, is this something a human can do?

However, the other people in the team couldn't see that much. It was beyond their ability to catch up with the bullet trajectory with the naked eye. All they could see was that Johnny kept firing while running, and then Arasaka's mechas and turrets exploded one by one. It was like being hit in a weak spot.

As for where the weakness is and why Johnny's gun is so powerful, these are not their concerns.

To be precise, when adrenaline is secreted at a high speed and people focus on doing something to fight the enemy with their lives, they can't think too much.

In this way, a group of people formed a long snake formation and rushed straight into the first floor hall of Arasaka Tower. At this time, the carpet under their feet had been full of blood, and it would make a funny squeaking sound when they stepped on it. sound.
