V felt that he might be a little uncomfortable today, mainly in terms of his head.

To be precise.

It is easy to have some afterimages in front of you, and sometimes they disappear like a flash of lightning.

She noticed that the 'symptoms' had become worse in the past two days, and although she had no headaches or visual disturbances, she was still a little worried.

V changed into clean clothes in the bedroom, with sweaty liners piled up at his feet.

Just as she put on her sweatshirt, she 'saw' a figure that seemed to flash past, more precisely, she felt that a figure appeared behind her.

""

"It must be psychological."

V resisted the urge to look back, continued to get dressed, and then pushed open the door and set off.

That day, she rejected Tang Yu's suggestion and joined the so-called terrorist mobile team.

V is not interested in the kind of life that wears a uniform and goes everywhere to 'punish evil and promote good'.

Tang Yu repeatedly stated various benefits for her, such as being able to obtain more powerful high-level combat implants after joining, high salary and benefits, and protection from team backgrounds, etc., and every benefit she said hit her pain points.

But V just didn't want to.

Especially after seeing the hypocritical faces of those upper-class people at the party, she also lacked a good impression of similar organizations.

V likes this unfettered street life, she feels that she was born on the streets, she will die on the streets in the future, and even hopes that one day, she will be lucky enough to become a legend of Night City.

She can survive the days of Taobai Treasure Chest, not to mention that she is now a person with a car and a house, even if she still owes a loan to wear a suit.

However, V is also a pragmatist, and since he has not joined the terrorist mobile team, he still needs to pick up some work to do.

She found that Gloria seemed to be avoiding her these days, always refusing to arrange any good work, it was all trivial, and she had to do a big job no matter what to do today.

In my impression, V remembers that the middlemen are not all looking for mercenaries to work, maybe Gloria's arrangement is really good, so she doesn't have to worry about cyberpunk at all.

V came to the apartment building, dialed Gloria's phone, and after answering, he directly explained his intentions, saying that he wanted to take over the job and do it.

The other end of the phone.

Gloria was in a bit of a quandary.

The reason why she didn't arrange a way for V to live these days was mainly because she found that this girl was a little lucky, and every time she took the job, she would have an inexplicable situation.

Last time, I lost an arm in Taiping State, and this time I was hacked again in Watson.

Although the commission was successfully completed every time, there were many accidents.

In fact.

Gloria wasn't worried that V wouldn't be able to complete the commission, but was worried about her safety.

Previously, she arranged those high-paid jobs for V, which was largely Tang Yu's meaning.

Although Tang Yu never said it explicitly in front of her, she knew that Tang Yu cared about V very much, so V must not have an accident.

But the first two commissions made Gloria difficult, so I hoped that V could do something simple.

But V obviously didn't understand the doorway, and only wanted to do more things and more money, and strive to repay the debt as soon as possible.

Gloria thought about it for a while, and decided to arrange a slightly more difficult commission for V, and planned to communicate information with Tang Yu in time.

After all, if she keeps consuming V like this, it is difficult to ensure that she does not go to other middlemen to pick up the work, and when there is an accident, she will not be able to control it.

"V, that's right, I really don't have a lot of work on my hands lately, but there's something that might bother you."

When V heard that he was finally in trouble, he teased: "It's finally like a point, just say it, just leave it to me." ”

She is already very familiar with Gloria, and thinks that this lady Lizi is really good, beautiful, generous and considerate.

It was a good thing for her to find such a long-term middleman in Night City.

Gloria sent the details of the commission through a message, and specifically told her to just investigate the situation and try not to have conflicts.

V hangs up the phone, opens the message interface, and views the content of the order.

Investigating cybermaniacs?

Go to the Watson Vortex Gang to check the situation, investigate the cause of the recent frequent cyber maniacs, and attach a few addresses.

After receiving the address, V set off for his destination.

Since several destinations are not far apart, it is not surprising that you can run them all in the morning.

It didn't take long.

V rushed to the first destination, which was a construction site, the building fence obscured the inside, and from the outside it looked like there were a lot of large machinery working, digging into the ground.

She came to the entrance and exit of the construction site gate and found that the sign was posted on Ye's company, which should be the site of Ye's company's infrastructure project.

After looking at the venue for a while, he saw a doorman guarding the door, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Hey, hello, can you ask something?"

The doorman of the Ye Clan's company had a stiff expression and said bluntly: "I have no comment. ”

Seeing that the other party did not rush people, V took out two bills from his pocket and quietly handed them over.

V noticed that the doorman was a little strange, and his face was still stiff after accepting the bill, but he still asked.

"Dude, I want to ask, have any of your workers on this construction site recently gone insane, can you tell me what's going on?"

In the content of the commission, V has learned about the incident at this construction site, but still wants to confirm the details.

I saw that the doorman turned his neck stiffly, his throat creaked, as if he wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't say it, and the sound was stuck in his throat very uncomfortable.

V could only hear him say words in fits and starts.

"Not crazy."

The doorman lifted his hand and pointed to his head.

As soon as the words fell.

His prosthetic eyes instantly lit up with a blue aura, as if he had been controlled by some strange force, and launched an unrestrained attack on V.

V reacted very quickly, the mantis knife in his left hand popped out, and with a wave of his hand, he cut off the arm that reached over, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned around and slipped away.

This is the construction site of the Yeshi Company, surrounded by military technology defense equipment, if you get out slowly, you will inevitably be tracked by drones.

She escaped several corners in a row, and only then was she relieved to make sure that there were no pursuers in the rear.

What was the situation just now?

Blue eyes?

She quickly remembered that the accidents she had encountered at Jinguji Temple and at the party seemed to be related to the Night Company.

Could it be that those people are also under similar control, and it would be terrifying to be able to control the minds of others so freely.

The opponent's means must not be so high, otherwise Night City would have been chaotic a long time ago.

V quickly calmed down and remembered that the man was pointing to his brain.

These people who are easily manipulated may have certain problems with their brains that have been modified or affected by unknown changes.

She couldn't help but think of what the Ye's company's charity plan had made to those who received help.

There must be a big ghost in the Night Company.

V stabilized his mind and continued to move on to the next few mission points.

She ran through several of these points one after another, and finally only one remained, located in the small square near the core sphere of influence of the Vortex Gang.

Except for the construction site of the first Yeshi Company, nothing was found at any other points in the survey.

V hurried to the last destination.

Soon.

She arrived at the scene, and saw a strange movement in the small square not far away, so she first found a corner and began to sneak.

Near the small square, there were two or three members of the Vortex Gang scattered around, spun around and monitored the surrounding situation.

It may be that the place is too remote, and these members of the Vortex Gang are absent-minded, chatting with each other.

"They are drawing patterns and singing lyrics in it, making such a big fuss, what the hell does the boss want to do."

"The ghost knows, it's all those companies who made up a set of code names, what wolf father, blood moon, and god, I heard that Lao Tzu was embarrassed and was about to commit cancer, who knows what kind of ball thing it is."

"Don't talk about it, it's better to talk about our new work, didn't the company send another batch of goods over recently, I heard that there are monks, think about giving them something new."

"Well, let me think about it, an all-metal makeover, it must be enough!"

While they were chatting, V found a slightly hidden passage and sneaked into the small square smoothly.

For the mess that these people are talking about, she doesn't have time to sort it out for the time being.

She sneaked into the small square and hid in the shadows to observe the movement.

I saw a freezer in the center, the door was wide open, and it was covered with ice water, and a person was lying with a fiber optic cable connected to the back of his head, as if he was diving deeply.

On the ground, there are strange symbols painted with red blood, which is extremely strange.

Around the freezer were members of the Vortex Gang, dancing around the freezer, muttering words as if praying for something to come.

Sensing that something was wrong, V popped out the eating guys in his left hand, ready to knock them to the ground at any moment.

These crazy people are dancing like a group of demons, doing weird things.

Unaware of their intentions, V observes the situation for the time being, hoping to learn more about the plot behind them.

As the members of the Vortex Gang jumped more and more frantically, there was a sudden movement in the freezer.

They stopped dancing on the spot and stared at the freezer, expecting the occupants to wake up.

The small square fell silent.

Their eyes were full of surprise and anticipation, like the person in the freezer would not have woken up.

As they expected, a hand reached out from the freezer, grabbed the interface directly behind the head and pulled it out.

The members of the Uzumaki Gang had a look of joy on their faces, and they seemed to be happy with the result.

The man in the freezer sat up, bare, and looked around in confusion.

A member of the Vortex Gang was stunned and tentatively shouted, "Lilith? ”

The other looked at him as if he had been electrocuted, and then nodded.

The members of the Vortex Gang immediately relaxed, and then said: "The Divine Descent plan has succeeded, you can ask them for a price, this time they don't want to take some real money, they don't want to get it easily." ”

Several members of the Vortex Gang also laughed in agreement, and then each began to clean up the scene.

One of the members of the Vortex Gang approached Lilith with an electronic tablet and said, "We still need to confirm your program code, it has to match the Ye's company, you have to stay with us for the next few days."

The voice did not fall.

His belly was pierced by a sharp mantis knife, and his red prosthetic eye flickered a few times before it was extinguished.

Lilith rolled out of the freezer and slashed straight at the Vortex Gang, killing both of them in quick succession.

The members of the Vortex Gang were shocked and quickly pulled out their guns and began to fight back, but the bullet fell on the cyber maniac and did not respond at all.

"Who gave her the subcutaneous armor that she had implanted in the horse?"

"Call for help, she's not Lilith!"

"Kill her, quick!"

Gunfire erupted at the scene.

With her ruthless ruthlessness and full-body combat implants, Lilith frantically harvested the lives of Vortex members.

The newly implanted combat implants on her body had not even healed from the sutures, and the flesh and blood could be seen connected to the machinery.

V hid aside and stared coldly, realizing that this 'Lilith' came from something very wrong, and she was not at all the same as the Vortex Gang.

Could it be that something is wrong with this ritual?

The object that caused them to summon was not the 'Lilith' who was killing frantically in front of them?

V couldn't figure out the details, so she immediately called up the contact interface and sent a message to the senior commander of the Terrorist Task Force.

Crazy and violent cyber maniacs, this is properly in their business.

Soon.

Melissa Rory replied to V's message, saying that she was on her way to prevent the cybermaniac from expanding the scope of damage.

V couldn't help but scold.

"Damn, if I solve it, what else do I want you to do?"

She knew that this 'Lilith' in front of her was not easy to mess with, and she had to be careful if she wanted to take her down.

After a few rounds, the Vortex Gang's hands were all cut into pieces.

Lilith's scarlet gaze turned to V who was hiding in a hidden corner, and smiled weirdly.

"Hello, human."

V noticed that he seemed to have another ghost, and quickly blinked his eyes.

Before she could react, Lilith rushed at her.

V had no choice but to be forced to make a move, and the two of them slashed in the small square.

She first blasted Lilith in the head with her pistol, and then ejected the mantis knife after sweeping the bullets, dodging the opponent's attack and slashing with her ruthless hands.

It may be that 'Lilith' does not have combat skills, and even though she has a lot of combat prostheses implanted in her body, she is still not V's opponent, and she was quickly defeated, and her hands and feet were broken and she fell to the ground.

She didn't seem to feel any pain, still muttering her words.

"You are all blasphemers, and all of you must die."

With a wave of his hand, V directly cut off his head, and the modified circuit at his neck sparked.

At this time.

Overhead, a floating car flew into the air and issued a warning.

"Sure enough." V sighed a little helplessly, the team always arrived on time when the matter was over.

V put away the mantis knife, cooperated with the command of the terrorist mobile team, and retreated to a prominent position.

Melissa jumped out of the float with two team members, gave orders to investigate the scene, and walked straight to V.

V first explained the situation on the scene according to the necessary procedures, but concealed the information he had heard about the company from the Uzumaki Gang.

Melissa finished taking notes, looked back, and saw the flesh and blood all over the ground, and said in a calm tone.

"It seems that you have a lot of potential to join us, how do you think about it?"

V shrugged his shoulders and bluntly refused: "Maybe it's quite suitable for the two of us to make friends, as for joining the terrorist mobile team, I don't have this plan for the time being." ”

Melissa didn't force it, explaining: "Everyone has different reasons for becoming a cyber maniac, but in the end they all inevitably slide out of control. ”

"There are many factors that can slide out of control, such as psychological stress, emotional disorders, prosthetic disorders, chronic pain, and even what you have experienced and are experiencing."

"If you want to avoid getting out of control and join the terrorist team, we can tell you the answer."

"Even cyber maniacs can be transformed and join the terrorist team."

When V heard this, he was really surprised.

For some reason, she felt as if Melissa was sure that she would definitely join the terrorist team.

V is just on business, and after assisting Melissa in dealing with the scene, he plans to return to Lizzy's bar and hand over the commission to Gloria.

The Terrorist Mobile Team confirmed the end of attendance and quickly left.

V walks alone on the streets, calculating the information he has gained today.

The Vortex organized a bloody ritual in an attempt to summon an unknown being to descend on their bodies, and became entangled with the company.

Encountering someone who was inexplicably controlled at the venue also seems to be related to the company, and the clues all point to one place.

Night's Company.

V could clearly sense that this company was plotting something.

Just as she was deep in thought, her eyes suddenly went down, her eyes were pitch black, and then a sentence popped up.

"Your presence is special, we know what you want, and soon you will understand"

End of message.

V felt as if his brain had been hammered again, and he fell to the ground in a daze.

Company Square.

Tang Yu is driving a Rayfield supercar, carrying Lucy around in circles.

Lucy's prosthetic eyes turned in a red circle, and her hands controlled the mechanical device in her arms, as if searching for something.

After a while.

Her gaze returned to normal, and she said indifferently: "There is no signal to search, and at present, the so-called matrix space should be in an unactivated state." ”

"However, even if it is activated, according to the level of secrecy, there is a high probability that it will not be able to receive the wave frequency from the outside world."

Tang Yu held the steering wheel with both hands and drove on the street at will.

"In this way, we have to wait for the matrix space to start before we have a chance to find their source."

Lucy bowed slightly: "The company has always acted like this, hasn't it?" ”

The Yeshi company is typical of not taking the last step and will never leave any flaws.

She continued: "If, as they say, the matrix space is a network of independent services, then it is not much of a threat. ”

"If there are secret channels in the matrix space, communication with public networks, or even connection to cyberspace, there will be endless troubles."

Tang Yu definitely didn't believe that Ye's company would be really kind, the more upright it was on the surface, it just proved that it was more greasy inside.

"Now, if you want to cut off this tumor, you have to urge the tumor to attack first."

Lucy chuckled, "That's a good analogy, but when a tumor starts, it's going to be fatal." ”

Tang Yu looked at Lucy in the passenger seat, and was a little hesitant in his heart, whether he should involve her in this matter.

Now that Lucy has joined the network monitor, her identity has been completely cleared, and the internal threats of Arasaka's company have been cleared.

If you get involved in this matter again, you will inevitably get into new trouble.

Lucy noticed Tang Yu's expression out of the corner of her eye, and said softly: "Since I stayed in this city, I still want to stay for a while, I have traveled too many places, and I can't compare to here, but I haven't found it yet." ”

"In the final analysis, the matter of the matrix space is also within the scope of the network supervision business, and it is good to let Night City live a few more days of peace."

"What do you think?" Lucy looked at Tang Yu slightly, her neon pupils reflecting his delicate face.

Tang Yu was a little surprised by Lucy's choice.

In fact, she can use her identity as an online surveillance agent to find a suitable opportunity to leave her job, and since then she has been flying away and living freely.

But she was willing to stay in the city and continue her life.

Tang Yu was also relieved immediately, and asked with a chuckle.

"I still don't know, how much salary does the network monitor pay you a year, is it convenient to disclose it?"

Lucy suddenly didn't want to pay attention to him, and said casually: "Naturally, it's not as high as you, if you don't count the task performance in a month, it will be about 20,000 euros, and it will be higher if you turn positive and grade later." ”

Tang Yu nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Then you have to refuel, this spaceship ticket to the moon is still a lot away." ”

Lucy smiled angrily: "you, wait until you save enough money to buy a house on the moon and talk about others." ”

Now that Lucy had decided to help, Tang Yu was no longer vague and began to finalize some details.

Tang Yu said seriously: "If you want to really confirm the situation of the matrix space, you must first let the Yeshi Company start and run the matrix space, which is the premise of detecting the network signal frequency from the outside. ”

Lucy nodded: "But considering that the Night Company has been preparing for so long, I'm afraid it will be difficult to start with signal shielding, and there must be follow-up preparations." ”

Tang Yu immediately thought of a good idea, thanks to the experience of sneaking up on the base of the Arasaka Tower, there was a tunnel that could lead directly to the core of the matrix space.

"If you install the program chip into the server interface before the matrix space starts, you can get the data stream."

"I knew there was a tunnel on the outskirts of the city, and from there you could go straight to the bottom of the company square."

Lucy pondered for a moment, deciding that this plan could be prepared.

But Tang Yu realized some problems: "After the matrix space server is put into operation, it will definitely generate a huge amount of data, and no program chip can identify and extract such a large amount of data." ”

"Moreover, the matrix space has a strong computing power, and it is easy to find these small actions, and it will be difficult to successfully achieve the goal at that time."

Lucy came up with an idea: "The program chip we chose doesn't have to be intrusive, but it can also be functional, such as locating the source of the matrix space network. ”

"I can enter the cyberspace by diving deep and find out if the matrix space is linked to the cyberspace."

"If there are clues found, the matrix space must be subject to network surveillance and interference."

For Lucy's method, Tang Yu thinks it is very good.

There must be two sets of people for the entire planned operation.

A team of people infiltrates the company square from the suburban tunnel, breaks the physical ban, finds the server interface, and installs the program chip.

This process cannot be too early or too late and must be stuck moments before the matrix space starts.

After the signal source was activated, the other team immediately infiltrated the cyberspace, found the link point of the matrix space, and checked whether the other party had any abnormalities.

Without a signal source, it is impossible to locate the location of the matrix space in the vast data world.

Once it is confirmed that there is a problem with the matrix space, the network monitoring can do things according to the rules, and the major companies can also ask Yeshi for an explanation.

After making a plan, Tang Yu planned to go back to the Arasaka Tower and ripen this big tumor.

Just as he was about to drive back, he suddenly received a message alert.

[The person you are concerned about is in a dangerous coma]

Tang Yu: "."

Not tonight.
