Chapter 383 The Mercenary’s Second Life (Supplement)

"News 54 brings you a breaking news."

"This evening, Arasaka Beach was attacked by a cybernetic psychopath. Woolley Crowley, now 36 years old, shot at Arasaka Company."

"The shooting lasted for a full minute and shot down 7 aerial vehicles. The attackers shot down a total of 7 aerial vehicles and caused casualties to several Arasaka employees. Three employees died on the spot."

"According to reliable sources, Arasaka Seaside Warehouse No. 15 was also breached during the attack, and the safety of the goods was questioned."

"After the battle, California Street was bombed. Although Arasaka Company was protecting company property, it was also questioned: Was Arasaka Company suspected of using excessive force?"

"According to rumors, the implant used in this cyberpsychosis is a one-piece implant specially customized by Arasaka Company. Some people speculate that the cause of its onset may be related to this."

"These employees were ordered back to work 30 minutes later, but Arasaka Company has not yet proposed a compensation plan for them and the Night City Municipal Government."

"It is worth noting that Deputy Mayor Huot happened to be at the location during the attack and was unfortunately hit by a grenade. He has been sent to the hospital for treatment."

The whole street was blown to pieces.

This should be the most powerful cyberpsychosis in Night City in recent years. The battle not only destroyed an entire street, but also knocked down several Arasaka float vehicles, resulting in even greater losses in mechas and combatants.

A total of 6 Arasaka employees died——

This is actually a lot. After all, it is indeed difficult for company employees to die. Such large-scale bombings are even more difficult to die. Three of the dead were even crushed to death by Arasaka blast doors.

The floating car also mainly deals damage, and there is actually no direct shooting down, so in reality, it can be regarded as a big thunder and a small rain.

However, things like the warehouse being blown through still have a relatively large impact on the company.

Thanks to the power of the automatic grenade launcher, Woolley's rearguard was still very successful, so successful that Arasaka didn't even bother to catch up.

Mackinac pulled into the church in Haywood.

This is the permanent residence of the priest.

Many street kids can seek refuge here because there are priests and no locals will chase them and kill them.

There is also a basketball court and open space in the back, where Valentino's boys sometimes hang out.

But there is no one today.

V and Jack stood at the door, waiting for Mackinac and Columbus Cargo to enter before closing the door——

Today's matter is not a trivial matter. The church is no longer suitable to be open to the public.

The car stopped, and V leaned against the rear window, looking at the slightly embarrassed Lille and mocking mercilessly: "Like to sneak away? You almost died, right?"

Lear gave her a helpless look.

This time he really didn't want to escape. Who would have thought that Kanek had become a special cyber psychopath?

Woolley Crowley's combat effectiveness is beyond imagination. That kind of weapon can be called an ace support on the battlefield. If it falls into the hands of the right person, its lethality is immeasurable.

Originally this was just a simple intelligence gathering, but in the end it was almost involved in a head-on battle with Arasaka.

What a surprise.

"I didn't expect so many accidents." Leal opened the door and got out of the car, signaling Mann and others to carry the unconscious Kanek inside.

V put his hand on Lille's shoulder, pointed at Kanek and said, "Who is this again?"

"I originally planned to ask him something, but I didn't expect that by the time I went there, he had already become a cyberpsychopath——

First, he ambushed his colleagues in the trauma team, then robbed the float vehicle, and finally went straight to the Arasaka beach to chase the enemy."

"You are so unlucky."

"yes."

Lille suddenly paused——

Although unexpected, there doesn't seem to be much discord in the whole thing.

If I had to say something, here's one: Why did Kanek hijack the car and rush to the Arasaka beach, where he happened to meet his enemy?

This is really a coincidence. If the conspiracy theory is anything to go by, Holt was also there and was bombed into the hospital, which is even more coincidental.

Leal just unplugged the remote control module in Woolley's prosthetic body, allowing him to get sick as much as he wanted. It was an accident that he sent Holt to the hospital.

But if you think about it carefully, Lille was in Woolley's system at the time, and there was no sign that anyone was controlling him to attack Holt.

The specific situation is full of mystery, because Lille walked so fast, and he had no idea how Holt was admitted to the hospital.

"What's wrong?" V asked strangely when he saw Lear suddenly stop thinking.

"I just feel a little strange. Let's go in first."

Everyone locked the surrounding doors, put up signs saying "No unauthorized persons allowed in", and followed the priest into the church.

[Recipient: Regina]

[Burger King: I saved Kanek, but I can’t do anything about the other one. All the people in Arasaka came out. 】

[Regina: Well, I know you tried your best. 】

[Regina: I checked Kanek’s file and found that he was a mercenary turned full-timer. There are some rumors indicating that he is quite extraordinary. In addition, his girlfriend is Nadia Neves. She is a top student and she introduced him. Nick joins the trauma team. 】

[Regina: Nadia’s subject in college was about cyberpsychosis. I wonder if this is related to their experiences. 】

[Regina: I know you must have questions to ask him, but our employer here is pressing hard. He will be looking for someone in about 30 minutes. Please be mentally prepared. 】

[Regina: Don't say I told you. 】

In fact, Lille didn't have much to ask, but he discovered a coincidence: Kaniek had the same style of Sianwistan as V.

So I have nothing to do, so I just started collecting prosthetic body operation data on site——

However, Little Octopus suggested that Lille implement the read after waking up Kanek.

And some specific stimulation needs to be applied to him.

These stimulations lead him into memories.

".My dear Nadia and I first met on the battlefield. I killed their members before they arrived."

"At that time, my intestines were knocked out. I thought I wouldn't be able to go back to collect the reward. I didn't expect that she stopped to bandage me."

"I saved my life."

Lille and he were the only two people in the room.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was gibbering.

Several data cables were connected directly to his spine and Sianwistan, reading all the data.

"Then there was another mission, and I killed the target before them. Coincidentally, it was her who came."

"I wasn't so embarrassed this time, and I didn't recognize her. She recognized me. Unlike last time, she blamed me for killing people every time."

"I told her I was just in it for the money."

"Oddly enough, I thought about her every day after that."

"Then a third time I beat their client to near death, this time I didn't choose to end the target's life before they came."

The empty eyes suddenly became full of expression, and Kanek suddenly laughed.

"I have no grudge against the target, but I want to thank him. This is the first time Nadi asked me, and she asked me to let the target go."

"To be honest, I just work as a mercenary to make some money. I don't care who I work for."

"So I told her: Of course, but if you don't hire me, it won't be so easy next time."

"Later on, I became a staff member on the trauma team, a colleague of hers."

"Ever since I met her, I have been thinking about what kind of life she lives, what kind of thoughts she has, and what kind of person she is."

"This should be the beginning of my second life."

"After that, I saved 259 people without missing a beat."

"Except for that one time, I couldn't save her, I saved a damn bastard."

Kaniek suddenly became excited and his voice became extremely low.

"Before I started this period of my life, I received 23 commissions and killed 34 people without ever missing a beat."

He slowly turned his head, and his unfocused eyes finally returned to normal.

He looked at Lear and asked questions with longing eyes, but the words he spoke were quite slow, as if there was a language barrier.

"Is he - dead -?"

Leal nodded.

Kanek seemed to be recovering from slow motion, closing his eyes half in relief and half in pain.

"I know you have questions, ask them quickly."
