The Death Knell

The nuclear explosion caused a short-term electromagnetic interference, and the speeding car took the opportunity to avoid the radar and eyes of all parties, and headed for the wasteland outside the city in the dark.

The outside of the city is basically the Gobi Desert, but there are also some abandoned factories left before the war, which can provide shelter from the harsh environment and provide some shelter for homeless people or gangs.

Rogge has chosen such a factory. Everyone will rest here for half an hour. She will find a way to inquire about the situation in the city and see how the Arasaka Group reacted to the bombing of her hometown.

Her people were dispersed and sent to the nearby area to guard the area. At least the content of everyone's chat was not suitable for too many people to hear.

As for V and Jack, who are still very excited, they have nothing to do. They can warm themselves by the fire in the dilapidated factory building, or watch the stars for a while?

It is difficult to see the night sky in Night City, just like it is difficult to see traces of civilization in the wilderness.

"How's it going, Rogge, have you found out where the old man is, Saburo Arasaka?" Su Ming asked when he saw the woman's eyes dimming, indicating that her communication had ended.

"He is rushing to Kanbi Building, probably to find Arasaka Yorinobu." Rogge is very respectable on the road. She has many capable friends among her friends, so she is naturally well-informed: "Probably Arasaka Tower was destroyed. , and he heard that you showed up, and he felt confused, so he wanted to take a look at the legacy chip, right?"

Rogge had heard the mysterious man say something about the shrine and the legacy before, and this is what she thought.

Arasaka had previously transferred Johnny's mark into the Legacy II prototype chip, and then deliberately asked Yorinobu to steal the chip in order to arrange his immortality plan.

And now Johnny Silverhand suddenly appeared in the city and went to blow up Arasaka Tower. After he found out about this, his first reaction must be to go to Yorinobu to show off and check the chip.

Why did Johnny suddenly come back to life? Is there another way for my son? Then can I also use this road to live forever without having to wait so long?

When others are panicking, he is still greedy. This is a qualified capitalist.

"Good thing." Su Ming laughed. He looked at the white-haired girl who was looking for something to make a fire: "Xili, go to the penthouse apartment of Kanbi Building, kill Arasaka Laoden, and then hide the Bring me the box under the floor, it's a small freezer with low temperatures, you can see the temperature difference with your witcher vision."

The witcher's vision was originally used to catch monsters, but it can also be used as heat-sensing equipment. After all, many large monsters have high body temperatures.

Shiri's ability is enough to deal with some ordinary people. Saburo Arasaka is an old man who does not have many combat prosthetics on his body. He can be stabbed to death by teleporting behind him with a sword.

"Okay, I understand." Xili threw some paper shells and plastics she picked up on the ground, patted the dust on her hands: "Are Lao Deng's bodyguards going to be killed? And Arasaka Yorinobu is going to be alive. Bar?"

She knew what kind of bad guy Arasaka Saburo was, and she didn't like him in the first place. Besides, Deathstroke said he wanted to kill him, so she just had to follow his orders.

Who said that he took the money from the death knell beforehand, bought a luxury car, and rented a mansion?

Demon hunters are also a type of mercenary. They are paid to do things. This is the rule.

In the past, when I was still in my hometown, I had to go to work even if I knew I might have to face very powerful monsters and risk my life. What's more, the task is actually not dangerous now.

"There is no need to kill Takemura Goro. That guy is not bad, he is just a foolish and loyal samurai." Su Ming gave detailed arrangements. He threw a box of chocolate frogs to Shirley as a prop to adjust his mood after the murder: "Yori Xuan actually He can be considered one of our own, don’t kill him, just knock him out, and when he wakes up and sees Lao Deng’s body, he will start his own plan.”

"Okay, I understand, then I'll leave." Xili nodded towards the others, turned around and left, disappearing into the dark corner of the abandoned factory.

She has the ability to teleport, but she doesn't want to use it in front of others. She wants to get along with her friends as an ordinary person.

"Can she be alone?" Rogge watched the girl walk away and asked involuntarily: "It seems that she is very similar to you, and both have a strange kind of self-confidence."

"Of course, just wait. You'll be back in three minutes at most." Su Ming picked up the small garbage on the ground, took out some firewood from his pocket, and found a broken oil drum to light a fire in it. : "I know you have a lot of questions, but sometimes, it's not good to know too much, so you might as well continue to pretend to be confused, haha."

"You're right." Rogge touched his face again and came over to help Deathstroke play with fire: "I'm a little nervous now. Do you think the inheritance can really fulfill my wish?"

"Don't worry, won't you know when Shiri comes back soon?" Deathstroke used cigarette butts and gasoline to light the garbage in the broken barrel, bringing light to the abandoned factory building at night.

Just like what he said, Ciri was very efficient in doing things, so she became a demon hunter. Otherwise, her ability to be an assassin would be a blessing from God.

The time was about the same as Deathstroke expected. In less than three minutes, the girl walked out of the dark corner of the factory carrying a large box. She also had a chocolate frog leg in her mouth, and there was some blood on her body. This was the completion of her work. .

Returning to the people around the campfire, she gently placed the box on the ground and stretched her already slim waist:

"Done, is this it? It took me a while to find it."

Everything went smoothly. Killing Saburo Arasaka was easier than killing a water ghost. It was similar to knocking out Yorinobu Arasaka and Goro Takemura. They didn't even react, let alone see Shirley's face.

The two minutes wasted looking for the box and the switch of the secret compartment. During this period, thanks to the remote professional assistance provided by Lark.

"That's it." Su Ming nodded with satisfaction and put his hand on the cold box: "Adjutant, are you ready to order the biochemically modified man? Let's start the second step."

In a flash of blue light, Johnny Silverhand, who was dressed exactly like Deathstroke now, appeared beside the bonfire, but he was still lying on the ground with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.

It's not exactly the same, there are still differences. This new body has a chip socket on the side of its head, but Deathstroke himself doesn't have one.

Seeing this scene, Jack and V were obviously confused, but they did not speak. They just stared with wide eyes, as if they had seen aliens or miracles.

After all, this is ‘creating man’. According to human common sense, this is the domain of God.

Su Ming didn't bother to care what they thought. In fact, after blowing up Arasaka Tower, they had almost nothing to worry about. The little hand he showed was just to help them gain their knowledge, and at the same time, it also made them realize that there is a better world. Don't just become a Be proud of being a legend.

Open the box, take out the chip, and insert it into the cyborg's chip socket.

After that, the adjutant took over the reverse transmission of data and the processing of program vulnerabilities. Deathstroke only had to take charge of what was ready.

Happy New Year everyone, haha, happy holidays
