Arasaka Tower.

Thirty-third floor, the office area of the Counterintelligence Department.

Carter restlessly returns to his workstation with the chip, turns on the computer, inserts the chip, and reads the information about the mission of the cybermad James in the chip.

Finally, the symbol option in the prosthetic eye stops at the copy screen.

[Yes/No copy?] 】

Carter hesitated, and when he thought of his boss's interrogation just now, his heart began to become more and more apprehensive, not knowing what the other party's purpose was.

"It's not going to be discovered, is it..."

Carter is mired in serious self-doubt, searching for traces of when he leaked.

"Obviously, I just came back from other places, and it is absolutely impossible to know about my situation."

"If there really is any evidence, I'm afraid I would have kicked myself out of Arasaka a long time ago."

"But there must be signs of suspicion, and he won't think that the attack by the Animal Gang was his own leak."

"If this is really the case, no matter how much he investigates, there will be no results, and he will be safe."

"It's a pity that he didn't die in this attack, otherwise I would still have a chance to fight."

As if having made up his mind, Carter chose to copy, recorded all the data with the electronic prosthetic eye, and then took out a new chip and inserted it into the nerve groove in his neck.

As a member of the counterintelligence service, he doesn't even pass any information through the Internet, and the public network is full of corporate prying eyes and network surveillance.

Carter immediately got up and walked out after copying the information...

At this time, Tang Yu began to sit in front of the office, browsing the task-related graphic and video information through the computer, while making his own inferences.

There should not be many people who can really see the details of this experimental military-grade Sianweistan, even if it flows to the black market, it may be sold as an ordinary model Sianweistan, after all, there is a high risk of implants that are not officially authorized by military technology, and often those who buy such implants are also outlaws.

If it is confirmed that the NCPD really did not get this prosthetic and dealt with it privately, and the military technology has no intention of recovering the prosthesis, then there is only one possibility, that is, it was cut off.

Perhaps out of greed, poverty, or whatever, the person who stole the prosthesis had no idea that he was involved in the turmoil.

It didn't take long.

Jack called to inform Superintendent Styns of the information that he had completely determined that the NCPD had not obtained the prosthesis, and that the prosthesis had disappeared before the body of the cyber maniac was transported to the NCPD center, and that he did not want to get involved in the company's affairs, and that he would not be asked for information in the future.

After listening to the news conveyed by Jack, Tang Yu couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Heywood still hates the company as much as ever"

"And as a company dog, I actually have a real Heywood friend"

"Oh, it only shows that I'm a cyberpunk in corporate skin"

"Am I right, Jack?"

Jack: "I don't think you want to stay in that snake den anymore, who knows where the cold fangs will bite from"

Tang Yu didn't respond positively to Jack's words, but agreed and said: "Snake nest, cousin nest, it's really well described, okay, I still have something to do, when this matter is over, how about we go to Lizi for a drink?" ”

Jack smiled and agreed: "It has to be Lizzy, that Mewtwo is really a must!" ”

Tang Yu muttered inwardly: No, don't you look at who the Mewtwo Experience expert is, the famous Judy Alvarez.

After receiving the information from Jack's side, Carter also came to the office to report the inquiry, and did not find any prosthetic transactions in the relevant materials on the black market.

After collecting a variety of premise information, Tang Yu set his sights on the scene of killing the cyber maniac, called up the monitoring probe data around the company square, and at the same time opened the internal intelligence database of the counterintelligence department, and retrieved the basic information of the personnel on duty, clearance and transportation of the NCPD center, and began to compare.

He wanted to see who from the NCPD had been on the scene and had a chance to steal the Ann Stein prosthesis.

On the screen, the avatars and various information codes scrolled, and all the information of NCPD personnel who appeared at the scene on the day of the incident were listed, and then continued to filter out the information of people who had contact with the corpse of the cyber maniac at the scene.

There were fewer and fewer people who were eligible, until Tang Yu saw a familiar name.

[Name: Gloria Martinez]

[Position: Emergency Medical Technician at Night City Public Medical Center]

"Is it a coincidence?"

Gloria was the mother and son he rescued from the scene of the Animals attack, and is still being treated at the Trauma Unit Medical Center.

Tang Yu checked the video from the scene and found that Gloria had put the cart containing the body of the cyber madman into an ambulance at the scene, and then left the scene of the incident.

Retrieve the personal details of David Martinez again, and learn that he has just damaged Arasaka Academy's online online education system and needs to pay a large amount of money.

"Medical personnel, in urgent need of money, have the opportunity to steal prosthetics alone..."

Tang Yu got the grasp of the military-grade Sianweistan, and he was already sure.

"It should be her right"

The Gloria was in his hands, and there was no way that Sänwestein could slip out of the palm of his hand, and a phone call would have taken the prosthesis.

It's just that the cage he wants to make for Susan, if you want to lure rats in, you have to put some bait, and this military-grade Sanwestein is the best bait, and with what Abnathan did, he will definitely not give up any opportunity to sanction the counterintelligence department.

Tang Yu exited the desktop system and looked at the time, it was not early, so he got up and left the desk to prepare to go downstairs.

Walk through the office area, past the front desk, come to the elevator door, and confirm the elevator down button.

When the elevator door opened, Tang Yu walked in, and the internal electronic screen was still chattering about the 'great' life of Saburo Arasaka.

Tang Yu got out of the elevator and came to the outside of the Arasaka Tower, and the first thing he saw was two suspended goldfish swimming in the company square.

At the same time, many people in suits and uniforms are very busy coming and going around the square, and there are also many bright and beautiful urban men and women walking through it, and there are various office or private aircraft shuttling between the buildings from time to time in the air.

The rebuilt Company Plaza is already one of the most famous landmarks in the world, but the Arasaka Tower, which actually destroyed the Company Square, and the Military Technology Building, sit opposite each other, like two black giants dominating the square.

Tang Yu looked up at the two 'giants' and was silent, paused for a moment before striding towards the traffic station.

Inside the hovering rail car.

Tang Yu took off the portable communicator he wore on his left eye, loosened the black tie around his neck, he had already decided to go back to rest, he didn't want to be disturbed by other things, the first night of his rebirth, he just wanted to enjoy the rare and familiar night scene of Night City.

Stand in the carriage, hold the railing, and look out the window.

Forests of steel stand with shimmering light, neon lights stretch into the sky, and meandering rivers flow from the mouth of the sea through the city's steel bridges into the underground waterways, and the night is shrouded in rain and a little hazy.

Listening to the music playing in the carriage, Tang Yu calmly looked out the window and muttered.

"Actually, I should have left a long time ago"

"But in all fairness"

"In this bastard city"

"There's my life..."
