Chapter 171: Bandits fight, county magistrate dies suddenly. How pleasant it sounds!

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝔱𝔴𝔨𝔞𝔫.𝔠𝔬𝔪]

Just last night, Song Zhaomei had secretly contacted V. When she learned that Miles was safe and sound, the guilt in her heart finally dissipated.

She asked V to save Miles' life, which was her way of repaying Miles' kindness to her. From then on, Song Zhaomei and the United Intelligence Bureau broke off completely, and no one owed anyone anything.

As for V, who had been working silently for her, Song Zhaomei did not intend to give up on him.

She decided to take V to the airport with her after getting the AI ​​neural matrix device, and take an airliner to the Crystal Palace to find the European team that would treat her.

If the situation changes, she will temporarily flee to Norway or the Chiba City area. As long as the neural matrix is ​​there, Song Zhaomei will not worry about anything happening to her.

After she is cured, Song Zhaomei will immediately arrange for someone to treat V and help him clean up the Relic chip in his brain.

Of course, in order to achieve the above goals, Song Zhaomei must get the AI ​​neural matrix device she wants from Kurt Hansen without any mistakes.

If Hansen really hands over the things, then everything will be fine, and the whole Dog Town will be fine, and no one will bleed and sacrifice for it.

But if Hansen dares to go back on his word and does not hand over the things, then Song Zhaomei will forcibly hack into the mechanical devices of the entire Dog Town through the Black Wall Invasion Protocol.

At that time, she will rely on controlling all nearby drones, combat robots, and automatic turrets in various fortresses to attack Hansen's Nether Dog soldiers!

When the entire Dog Town is caught in a chaotic situation of killing each other, it is the time for Song Zhaomei and V to forcibly take away the AI ​​neural matrix device.

'I hope V can come to Baozhuqing on time today. I have been waiting for this day for too long. '

Song Zhaomei silently prayed for the success of tonight's operation.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave the second-floor stand and return to the box to rest, Hansen, who was not far away, suddenly walked towards her.

"Hey! My Princess Lark, are you satisfied with tonight's event?"

"Now all the big figures in Night City have come to Baozhuqing to attend your celebration banquet. You should be happy."

Under the escort of Bennett and Gago, Hansen, who was in a relaxed and cheerful mood, came to Song Zhaomei with his hands behind his back.

Thanks to Song Zhaomei's perfect performance as an insider, their missiles accurately shot down the Sky-Sky No. 1 airship.

Although the group of Nether Dog soldiers under his command have not found Miles' whereabouts for a while, it is estimated that it will not take long.

After all, the entire Dog Town is now in a state of only allowing entry but not exit. The surrounding passages are all blocked by soldiers, and even a mouse can't escape.

Miles, who is trapped in Dog Town, can't fly out even if he has wings!

Hansen looked at Song Zhaomei, whose face was full of worry, and couldn't help but chuckle. He said to Song Zhaomei in a joking tone:

"What's wrong? Are you worried that you will be too lonely when you go to Crystal Palace alone soon, and need someone to accompany you?"

"Why don't you consider it and stay in Dog Town to work for me."

"We don't have anything else, but there are still many strong men. As long as you are willing, I promise to serve you comfortably!"

Facing Hansen, who was full of dirty jokes and evil desires, Song Zhaomei just glanced at Hansen with a disgusted look from the bottom of her heart.

If she wasn't worried that she couldn't get the AI ​​neural matrix device for life-saving, she would have wanted to burn Hansen's brain with a black wall right now.

"Don't disgust me, where is the thing I want now?"

Song Zhaomei didn't want to have too much verbal communication with Hansen. She was afraid that she couldn't control her emotions and accidentally killed the other party.

Facing Song Zhaomei's cold attitude, Hansen simply replied in a provocative tone:

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't worry, dear. I will definitely give it to you after this event is over."

After saying that, Kurt Hansen showed Song Zhaomei a ferocious smile. He looked like a beast staring at its prey.

If it were an ordinary agent, he might have been frightened by Hansen's covetous aura, but Song Zhaomei, who had received rigorous training, still remained calm enough.

"Now the initiative is in your hands. How can I be sure that you will not violate Mr. Aguilar's promise to me?"

"Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. I have to see the device I want, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

Song Zhaomei's request was not excessive, but Hansen did not intend to let Song Zhaomei get the device as she wished, so he deliberately cheated:

"Since Mr. Aguilar has made a promise to you, how dare I violate his order and tarnish the reputation of the Cuban Group."

Hansen smiled and said, "Don't worry, what belongs to you will definitely be yours. There is no use for me to have that thing."

"Besides, the device is a thank-you gift from the bosses. Even if I sell it on the black market, few buyers dare to take it."

"Don't you think this is true?"

Aguilar did promise to give the AI ​​neural matrix device to Song Zhaomei after the matter was completed, and Hansen did intend to do so, but he would not let Song Zhaomei leave Dog Town.

Because in this cooperation transaction, neither Aguilar nor Hansen promised Song Zhaomei to let her go.

The disease that Song Zhaomei was infected by the black wall can actually be cured anywhere. The core item she needs is just the matrix device.

As long as there is an AI engineer who can perform the operation and the corresponding surgical equipment, Song Zhaomei can survive.

In this case, why not let Song Zhaomei cure her disease in Dog Town and stay here to work for the thriving Dog Town!

This is Hansen's long-planned plan. In this way, he can not only fulfill Mr. Aguilar's promise to Song Zhaomei, but also not miss such a hacker talent.

A genius network hacker like Song Zhaomei is a popular commodity wherever she is placed. Hansen is reluctant to let Song Zhaomei leave Dog Town like this.

Seeing that Hansen seemed to be trying to cheat with her, Song Zhaomei just snorted coldly:

"My request is not excessive, and your one-sided words cannot be regarded as Mr. Aguilar's golden words."

Song Zhaomei would not fall for Hansen's tricks. In fact, she knew very well what Hansen was planning.

She also knew that after the delivery of the AI ​​neural matrix device, the Nether Dog soldiers in Dog Town would forcibly detain her and force her to work for Hansen.

Song Zhaomei was also a wise person like Hansen. She knew that Aguilar only promised to give her the things and cure her illness.

But they never said that they would definitely let her leave Dog Town safely and go to other places for surgery.

As for the private apartment in the Crystal Palace, who said that people must live in the house? At most, the property rights of the house can be printed out and given to Song Zhaomei, which is not considered a violation of the promise in the transaction.

'I knew that Hansen, the bastard, would not let me go so easily. '

Song Zhaomei cursed him in her heart.

In fact, just now, she noticed a trauma team from Europe. This group of people was most likely the medical team arranged by Hansen for her.

Originally, Song Zhaomei was a little unsure whether this trauma team was prepared for herself or for the guests who came here.

But now she has the answer in her heart.

Fortunately, she still has V as a backup. When the time is right, Song Zhaomei can tear her face with Hansen at any time and force her way out of the cage of Dog Town.

"Relax, Lark, you don't need to be so nervous. I am a very trustworthy person."

"Otherwise, how can those dignitaries downstairs dare to cooperate with me."

Hansen looked at Song Zhaomei, who was alert and alert like a frightened bird, and couldn't help but smile, as if he was mocking Song Zhaomei's fragility at the mercy of others.

"Come with me."

After the words fell, Hansen took Song Zhaomei to the edge of the stands, then pointed to a corner below and said to Song Zhaomei:

"See that man and woman? They are professional network hackers from Europe. Their technical level is not much worse than yours."

"After this dance, they will personally inspect the AI ​​neural matrix device for you, and then take you for treatment."

Song Zhaomei looked in the direction Hansen pointed, and she saw a French white man and woman with brown hair gambling with great interest at a small gambling table in the corner.

She knew this white hacker pair.

The woman's name was Aurore Cassel, and the man's name was Emeric Cassel. They were a pair of hacker siblings who had captured roaming AI in cyberspace.

Emeric's brain was injured for this, and he lost a memory of nearly two years.

After seeing this scene, Song Zhaomei didn't say anything more. She was more convinced that Hansen had already arranged all this to imprison her.

Perhaps even the European consortium bosses who had promised to give her freedom had already stood on the side of the Dogtown warlord Hansen.

The so-called AI neural matrix device was just a bait to catch her.

These high-ranking bigwigs never really intended to give her freedom from the beginning to the end!

But fortunately, Song Zhaomei still has V as a sharp blade, and she still has the hope of getting rid of the ropes and reaching the other side of freedom.

As long as she and V successfully come to the LA company's airport, they will not be hunted down by other companies and forces.

By then, whether Song Zhaomei takes a rocket to the Crystal Palace or goes to a corner of the earth to fend for herself, she can still choose her own life at will.

"Enjoy the good time that will come next. Such days will not be available every day in the future."

Seeing that Song Zhaomei seemed to believe in his arrangement, Hansen left a meaningful word to her, then turned around and left, and continued to receive the guests below.

At this moment, Song Zhaomei was the only one left on the observation deck on the second floor, and her mood became depressed again.

She is good at reasoning and calculating the outcome of the situation, but she doesn't have high expectations for the success rate of this action.

But this is the best solution she can make. As for whether she can escape successfully, it depends on whether V can help her deal with Hansen's people.

Just as Song Zhaomei was lost in thought, thinking over and over again about the next plan, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing downstairs, and that person was V, whom she had been waiting for for a long time!

At this moment, V, wearing an elegant and exquisite suit with a calm expression on his face, was trying his best to disguise himself as a company elite who came to the meeting.

While greeting strangers, he used the AI ​​White Queen in his mind to communicate with Li Ang.

[Just do as Song Zhaomei told you. When the time comes, you will run to the direction of the airport. I will arrange someone to pick you up. ]

Li Ang instructed V.

After V's news reports these days, he has completely figured out the entire action plan of the two forces, Song Zhaomei and Li De.

After Song Zhaomei took the goods, she planned to use the black wall invasion technology to forcibly create internal conflicts and chaos in Dog Town to gain a chance to escape.

And the airport is her escape destination!

Li De's plan is to let V sneak into the top floor of Baoshiqing with a fake identity, and he and Alex will go all the way through the underground sewer.

After they meet each other, they will find an opportunity to assassinate the hacker brother and sister from Europe. At that time, V and Alex will use the high-imitation mimicry mask to pretend to be the brother and sister to inspect the goods.

Li De cleaned up the bodies and was responsible for helping V and Alex leave Baobaoqing.

As soon as the AI ​​neural matrix device was obtained, they would immediately kill Hansen, take the things and Song Zhaomei, and escape from the predetermined route.

Compared with Li De's plan, it was obvious that the action planned by Song Zhaomei was simpler, and the failure rate was a little higher. It was not as good as Li De's seemingly complicated but more secure arrangement.

Therefore, in order to let Song Zhaomei escape successfully, Li Ang decided to add a little external force to help her leave Dog Town faster.

For example, LA company's mercenary V and company troops.

'If Li De forced me to take Song Zhaomei to Miles, what should I do? Should I kill him, or... take him and Song Zhaomei to the airport. '

After hesitating for a moment, V couldn't help asking Li Ang this question that had puzzled him for a long time. If he chose to take Song Zhaomei to the airport, Li De would definitely not agree.

By then, I'm afraid there would be no other way except to kill Li De.

Therefore, V wanted to know what Li Ang's attitude towards him was, whether to kill this person or keep him.

[Just say this is my order, if he dares to stop you, kill him. ]

Li Ang's tone was very calm, and his answer was very straightforward in dealing with Li De's life and death.

In fact, Li Ang could let V take Song Zhaomei away from Dog Town alone, and it would not be Miles' turn to intervene.

The reason why he allowed Li De and Alex to get involved was to give these two people a last chance to survive.

After all, Li De brought valuable intelligence to LA Company during the time when Alex was lurking in Dog Town.

If Li De insisted on bringing Song Zhaomei back to Miles, it would be his own deliberate death, so it was no wonder that V was merciless.

'Okay then! '

After finding out Li Ang's true thoughts, V also made clear what he would do next and his attitude towards Li De.

Before letting V officially start the action, Li Ang also made a solemn promise to V. This was his plan after long consideration.

[V, bring Song Zhaomei back to the airport safely, and everything will be over, including the Relic chip in your brain. ]

[In addition, I have arranged the surgery for you and Song Zhaomei, and Johnny's clone is ready. From now on, you will no longer be threatened by the death of the Relic chip. ]

[And you will also get a new company contract, and you will no longer be an unknown company agent. ]

After hearing these words from Li Ang, V couldn't help but smile and said: 'So, after I complete this commission, I can get promoted and make a fortune. '

V's joke made the atmosphere of this serious conversation a little more relaxed, and Li Ang followed his words and continued:

[Whether you get rich or not, I believe that the salary level of LA company employees is obvious to all. ]

[But as for promotion, I am sure that the position you will hold next will be very important in LA company. 】

Yes, the position that Leon wants V to take up next will no longer be a small company agent, but the company's legion commander!

With the gene seed, V, who has become stronger simply by relying on the cyber prosthetic device, can fully improve his strength.

After the Relic chip is removed, V will become the head of the Astartes Iron Ten Legion through the dual transformation of gene seed + prosthetic device.

The so-called Iron Ten Legion will also be the LA company's ace elite legion "Iron Hand".

These Astartes warriors will become the company's strongest soldiers through the fusion of flesh and steel!

And the loyal V will directly command this iron army.

'Yes, then I promise to complete the task! '

When V answered Leon's words, he was more or less excited.

He was excited that he could get rid of the Relic chip and regain his life, and he was also happy that Song Zhaomei could truly be free.

【Begin to act. 】

After receiving V's confident affirmative answer, Leon temporarily hung up the conversation with V, and then walked alone to the French window of the office lobby.

Looking at the Dog Town that was about to start a war, Leon did not feel the slightest bit of worry or tension, but felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Once the gunshots over there sounded, it meant that the New America controlled by Miles would officially ring the death knell.

Because whether Li Ang asked V to agree to Song Zhaomei's request or asked V to join the United Intelligence Bureau, his main purpose was not just to save this little lark.

Li Ang wanted V to turn the whole Dog Town upside down. Only when Dog Town was in chaos could the LA company's troops take over there at the lowest cost.

And the United Intelligence Bureau agent who was responsible for picking up Miles on the surface but actually came to assassinate Miles could also sneak in during the chaos and do a clean and beautiful job of assassinating the president.

At that time, the notoriety of killing the president of New America would fall on the head of the dead Dog Town warlord Hansen, and Dog Town was completely cleared by the LA company that was acting on behalf of heaven.

Bandits fighting, the county magistrate died suddenly, how pleasant it sounds!

Once Hansen died, Dog Town was recovered, and the Taiping Continent of Night City would usher in real peace from then on.

Once Miles died, the puppet president of New America, Harford, took office, and the whole of North America would return to a peaceful state, and the world would be peaceful in the future.

Ambitious people will die because of their own ambitions and conspiracies, greedy warlords become abandoned by European dignitaries, and the lark longing for freedom breaks free from the cage that imprisons itself.

All this is under Li Ang's control.

...

Soon after V finished talking to Li Ang, Song Zhaomei communicated with V through the Black Wall Protocol.

[V, come to the observation deck on the second floor, I'll wait for you. ]

After the voice fell, V slowly raised his head and pretended to glance around the stands of the second company inadvertently.

After seeing a short-haired beauty who looked like Song Zhaomei, he walked to the second floor.

After all, this is Hansen's territory, and there are well-trained professional ghost dog soldiers everywhere. Song Zhaomei dare not wave to V openly, or flirt with him.

And V certainly can't be like a fool, looking around furtively, which will easily attract the attention of Hansen's eyes.

'Okay, I'll come right away. ’

V immediately pretended to be a nonchalant guest and slowly slid up to the second-floor stand.

After seeing clearly that the short-haired beauty on the second floor was Song Zhaomei herself, V walked up carefully and gently patted her on the shoulder.

“I hope I’m not late, Song Zhaomei.”

V took the initiative to speak to Song Zhaomei.

Perhaps Song Zhaomei had stayed in his mind for too long, and when V greeted her, it was completely like the attitude of an old friend.

There was no sense of strangeness.

“You came just in time, V.”

After hearing the voice of V, Song Zhaomei turned around. She was dressed up and looked particularly charming under the shining lights around her.

“You are dressed very beautifully, really.”

The image of Song Zhaomei in V’s mind has always been a neat agent uniform. This is the first time he has seen Song Zhaomei dressed so gorgeously.

"V, I'm very happy to hear your compliment."

Song Zhaomei, who was in a low mood and confused, smiled briefly after hearing V's words.

In fact, the reason why she wore this dress was not entirely to attend this grand event, but more to cover her terrifying and hideous metal hollow back.

In the past, Song Zhaomei would admire her dance, her agile and powerful limbs, and her slender and agile figure in front of the mirror.

But since she chose to join the United Intelligence Bureau and accepted the transformation of a hacker agent, she could no longer accept herself like this.

No girl would want to become a cyber monster made of all metal parts, including the hacker Song Zhaomei who seemed to be rational and cold.

So when she received V's compliment, Song Zhaomei felt sincerely happy in her heart, at least this sentence relieved her anxiety a little.

However, this joyful mood did not last too long. Song Zhaomei knew that what was about to happen next was a cruel life-and-death fight.

Can they escape from Dog Town safely and achieve their goal in one battle!
