"Oh dear, you two don't know, Night City isn't very safe lately. If you two walk around like this, you'll easily be watched."
"Unsafe? What exactly do you mean, cyberpsychosis?"
Bai Zhi asked casually.
As the guard drove, he said, "Hey, it's pretty much over. Recently, a dangerous individual has emerged."
"That dangerous individual is called V. It is said that she killed Saburo Arasaka, the head of the Arasaka Group."
"Not only that, she actually managed to escape after killing Saburo Arasaka, and has recently become quite famous in Night City."
"This V is a complete cyber lunatic. She's been causing trouble like crazy lately, and she's even taken down a lot of NCPDs who came looking for her. Her bounty has exploded. Holy crap, how does this guy drive like that?!"
Amid the guards' curses, the vehicle began to lose its balance and then violently collided with another car.
However, in a world where everyone has cybernetic enhancements, the guards were unfazed. Instead, they immediately grabbed their guns and climbed out of the car, cursing under their breath.
Chapter 388 An Unexpected Encounter with the Cyber King of Hell
I finally found a chance to shine, and then this happened.
This made the guard very angry.
He decided to teach the bastard who hit him a lesson he would never forget.
However, when the person inside the car crawled out and he saw the person's face clearly, the guard was immediately jolted.
This guy, isn't he the famous V from Night City lately?
"Gulu..."
He swallowed hard, completely at a loss for what to do.
This guy's fighting prowess has been the talk of the town in Night City lately; he's practically a cyber-human Yama.
Not only are their hacking skills top-notch, but they are also inhuman in both close-range and long-range combat.
"Uh... ma'am, actually I just had a problem with the vehicle. Please don't worry about it, I'll pay for the repairs myself."
After holding it in for a long time, he finally stammered out those words, fearing that the cyber-human devil on the other end would kill him.
"Hey V, look at the people in that car, two little girls. Could this guy be kidnapping them?"
Johnny Silverhands suddenly appeared in V's line of sight.
"I don't know, but judging from their expressions, they don't seem afraid at all. They seem to be watching a show. I don't think so."
V quickly responded to Johnny's silver hand.
"Wow, is this the capability of the REC chip? Although the world is relatively backward, have some places actually reached this level of technological advancement?"
V's pupils immediately contracted because she saw something that shouldn't have been in her sight.
That was actually the figure of the silver-haired girl sitting in the seat over there.
The other party actually invaded her prosthetic body without her noticing at all, and even observed Johnny Silver Hand with great interest.
"Are you here for me? Did Aragaki Company hire you, or are you someone else?!"
V immediately blurted out a sentence.
In her view, she had done far too much during this period of time; in order to survive, she had offended countless people.
The fact that the leader of the Araban Company, the local tyrant of Night City, has been killed, yet no large-scale military force has been mobilized to suppress him, is itself highly illogical.
The silver-haired girl in front of me might just be someone sent by Aragaki Company.
"Hey, hey, hey, your thoughts are completely monitored by your prosthetic body and then fed back to me."
“I’m not someone that some run-down company can afford to hire. On the contrary, I have no good impression of that company.”
"However, I'm quite interested in your rec chip..."
As soon as Silver Wolf finished speaking, a diagnostic interface appeared in front of V's body.
"This data... you're still alive? Unbelievable."
"who are you?"
V asked in a deep voice, having just scanned Bai Zhi and Yin Lang.
In the NCPD database, these two individuals belong to Kangtao.
Although the woman named Bai Zhi was dressed in a very Chinese style, she strongly suspected that it was a fake identity.
"Me? I am Silver Wolf, an ordinary Star Core Hunter."
"Your diagnostic data is very interesting. I need to download it; maybe I can sell it for a good price later."
And here's a friendly reminder: if you want to cure your illness, you'll practically have to beg the guy next to me.
"Star Core Hunters, what kind of organization is that?!"
V frowned, quickly connected to the network, and stood up.
However, neither the NCPD network nor any other deep network could provide information about the Star Core Hunter.
This suggests that either the organization doesn't exist at all.
Either the organization is very well hidden, or there is no information about it at all on the internet.
However, the former possibility is unlikely. There's no reason for the other party to fabricate a non-existent organization to deceive her; it's pointless.
That would mean it's a powerful organization with advanced technology...
“V, we’d better stay away from these two, especially this silver wolf, she’ll invade your mind.”
"Who knows, one day she might just alter your memories!"
Johnny Silverhand glanced at Silver Wolf with a worried expression and offered some advice.
“No, Johnny, I was very interested in what she said could cure me.”
V turned her gaze to Angelica dahurica.
"V, you just believe what she said?"
Johnny looked incredulous. Shouldn't he be wary of the mysterious visitor's intentions?
“I don’t have much time left, so what’s wrong with giving it a try? I can’t just hand my body over to you without trying anything, Johnny.”
V said in a deep voice, she also knew that it was a ridiculous idea to rashly believe a stranger who said he could save her.
However, the REC chip is constantly eroding her body, slowly reshaping her organs and cells to suit the arrival of Johnny Silverhand's consciousness.
She's now in a state of desperation, resorting to any treatment she can find.
Whether it's true or not, give it a try.
Besides, the other party was able to invade her brain and even see Johnny's silver hand, something she had never encountered before.
This is also the basis for her choice to believe.
"Johnny, this is better than trusting those guys from Araban Company."
Johnny Silverhand snorted and said nothing more.
"Uh…"
The guard looked at V with some confusion. At the very beginning, this cyber king of hell seemed to have been standing there, his expression constantly changing.
“Sir, don’t worry, my bodyguard Silver Wolf will handle this.”
Although she didn't know why V was stunned, Bai Zhi could guess some things from the silent Silver Wolf.
In the original storyline, the lark was able to invade V's brain and talk to him from there, so there's no reason why Silver Wolf wouldn't be able to do the same.
"Ah... thank you for your comfort."
The guard wiped his sweat. Bai Zhi's words, combined with V's current situation, still gave him a sense of reassurance.
Perhaps this Miss Silver Wolf is indeed a powerful hacker, currently battling this cyber devil in the data world.
In short, he felt very fortunate.
My former superior was right after all; I should make more friends, especially capable ones.
And sure enough, it came in handy right away.
"Hmm, all done, Little Angelica, I've found you a patient."
After a moment, Silver Wolf snapped out of his frozen state and spoke to Bai Zhi.
"What did you talk about?" Bai Zhi asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Aren't you making games? According to what I've seen in the materials, this guy's background is quite interesting. Maybe he can be a consultant for you and help design the plot."
"In addition to these, I also asked for her stage-specific diagnostic data, which can be sold in conjunction with the REC chip technology."
"All you need to do is cure her illness."
Chapter 389 Just go straight for it.
"That's it, no problem."
Bai Zhi nodded slightly.
"Ms. V, please come over. Perhaps we can have something in common."
Bai Zhi waved to V and looked at the guard at the same time.
"Sir, thank you for your help. I'm afraid I won't need your assistance with the rest of the matter."
"Oh, it's alright, as long as you're happy."
The guard couldn't wait to run away. Encountering that cyber devil was no good; he might get angry and die here.
"Consider this money your reward, and we'll also get this car as a gift, how about it?"
Silver Wolf continued Bai Zhi's words.
"Ah...please make yourself at home, this car is for both of you."
Upon seeing the message about the transfer of 10 euros appear in his field of vision, the guard immediately became excited and exclaimed repeatedly.
This vehicle is just a standard armored vehicle issued to their team; it's not his.
Even if he loses it, he can easily avoid responsibility by taking care of it when he gets back.
Even so, there's still a lot of money left.
"Ahem, I'll be going now. Have a good time, you two."
The guard bowed and walked out of the area with great humility.
"Come on, the famous Miss V, I happen to have a job for you. I don't know if you'd like to take it. As for the reward, it's to cure your illness."
V didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down inside the armored vehicle.
"You say you can cure my illness, but how can you prove it?"
She speaks frankly, which perfectly matches the character of the game's protagonist, the mercenary.
"This is quite easy."
Bai Zhi touched the armored vehicle that had sustained some damage from the collision, and the power of the Horse Talisman was instantly activated.
"Creaky"
The car made a sound and, to V's astonishment, quickly returned to normal.
"Damn, is this some kind of movie shoot, V? Did you see this??"
Johnny Silverhand also came into V's view. He had seen everything that had just happened and couldn't help but swear.
This is something Night City's cybernetic bodies cannot do.
Although some people have proposed the idea of bio-steel self-recovery, almost no one has actually realized it.
Moreover, the car screen, which had just cracked due to the impact, was miraculously restored by this power.
Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
"Of course I saw it, Johnny. I even wondered if there was something wrong with my prosthetic eye."
