Chapter 279
Took another sip of the beer in his hand... After the experience just now, he didn't dare to take a big gulp this time.
Although he still couldn't accept the strange taste, at least he wouldn't show his ugly face again.
"Well, Man Yin, I'm a little curious about something..."
"What?"
"It's about the relationship between Dr. K and Lucy... No, that's not what I meant."
Before he finished speaking, he found that Man Yin looked at him with a look of "You kid are really a thief", and David denied it speechlessly.
"I saw a photo of the two of them in the clinic last time, but I didn't think they were siblings, or father and daughter... So I was a little curious."
"What? It turns out that it's just like that."
Man Yin, who felt a little sorry for not getting to eat the big melon, put down the empty bottle in his hand.
After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement: "But it's almost like what you said, the relationship between the two is indeed a little unusual."
More like a couple than a brother and sister, but if you say a couple, it feels more like a father and daughter.
But if I say this in front of the two of them, Lucy herself will become unhappy again...
In short, it's very complicated.
"But speaking of it, why did you say you didn't know him when that person asked about Lucy today?"
Thinking of the person who helped them hold Maxim back today...
Although I can't remember what he looks like, he still helped me after all.
"So you are the newcomer..."
With a tone of disappointment, Man Yin clenched his fist and hit David's head lightly.
"That guy's identity is unknown, and we have no idea what he wants to do. If you rashly disclose other people's information, the consequences may not be what you want to see... Don't forget that Gloria is still receiving treatment from them."
"So that's how it is... Sorry for asking a strange question..."
"Anyway, just be careful. From the beginning of this business, you have to keep the information of people around you confidential, otherwise it will be easy for people to come to your door."
So in order not to be caught by others, to be a mercenary in Night City, you either have to be alone or go with your family like Pyrrha and Rebecca.
If you can't do either, you can only be smarter.
"Of course, there is actually another reason, that is money."
"Money?"
"Yes, K once paid us a sum of money, and the requirement was that if someone asked about their information in the future, they would say they didn't know."
Taking money to do things is the basic principle of mercenaries.
As for whether Man Yin and others would be blinded by money and use this as a handle to treat themselves as ATMs...
Lin Qiao is not worried about this problem.
Blood Star Controlling Technique combines memory reading, erasure and mind control. It has no negative reviews so far and is a great helper for recruiting tool people.
Just as the two were chatting, a red car slowly drove in from the roadside and stopped in front of the two.
The car door opened, and a white-haired man in a red suit got out of the car.
But compared to ordinary people, he had two more artificial eyes on his right cheek - probably a genuine four-eyed guy.
As the person got out of the car, the original cheerful atmosphere around him suddenly disappeared for some reason.
"Tsk, why did he come here at this time? This guy really knows how to pick the time."
After seeing the person coming, Man Yin's mood quickly became irritable.
Chapter 347 Faraday's New Commission
David looked around between the two.
Then he pursed his lips and whispered to Man Yin next to him: "Hey, Man Yin, is he your acquaintance?"
"Well... I guess so."
After a brief thought, Man Yin gave a reluctant answer.
The eyes under the sunglasses looked at Faraday who got off the car opposite.
Although the other party had assigned him a lot of big orders in recent years, which made them earn a lot, Man Yin still couldn't like this guy.
After all, it was a big order to put it nicely, but it was a gift to trick people into going up.
Especially after this guy was done, he always liked to find faults in the eggs, which made people dislike him even more.
It was just because of what Sasha did in biotechnology a few years ago, in order to distance themselves from the relationship and avoid being affected, they borrowed Faraday's relationship and were also labeled as military technology...
In short, some things are not so easy to refuse.
"Long time no see, Man Yin."
Faraday's mouth curled up a little, and his four eyes scanned the surroundings. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Oh, it seems that I came at a bad time. Did I disturb you?"
"... I have given you the navigation data. What else can I do for you, Faraday?"
"Don't be so cold, Maine. After all, we have been working together for such a long time."
He picked up the collection of cigars offered by his assistant with two fingers and walked to Maine with a smile on his face.
"I am here to congratulate you. The mission was completed very well this time. My informant told me that although Arasaka took some actions, they did not notice the theft..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just say what you want to say."
Not being deceived by Faraday's good appearance, Maine answered bluntly.
After such a long time, he really knew this guy's character too well.
The reason why this guy put on this look is just because he is in a good mood... and he has some extra needs.
"Since you said so, let's do as you wish. Let's talk business."
Otherwise, as expected, Faraday changed his face in the next second.
The change in attitude was so great that David, who was a newcomer, felt physically uncomfortable.
As for Man Yin next to him, he looked as expected, curling his lips in dissatisfaction, as if "I knew you were holding your fart in."
After telling David a few words, the two came to the separate compartment that Faraday had reserved before.
Two bodyguards were on guard at the entrance to ensure that no one would disturb them.
"—— I'll say it straight, the employer of this commission has made additional requirements."
"Hey, it's not against the rules to change your mind suddenly, right?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. I just conveyed the employer's intention... Of course, the decision is still in your hands, and the corresponding remuneration will also increase... starting at 800,000 euros."
Man Yin clicked his tongue. 800,000 euros, that's really not a small amount.
Those bastards in the company are really rich.
"So what do you mean? Agree or refuse?"
"Tell me what the content is first."
"Very good, you are worthy of being a famous cyberpunk."
Faraday smiled, he knew that the other party was already moved.
Then, he took out a separation chip.
"It's all here."
Seeing this, Man Yin didn't ask any more questions and inserted it into the interface.
But...
After watching it for a few seconds, his brows were furrowed.
The content in the chip was only a relatively blurry video - a video of a military technology convoy being slaughtered wantonly.
The premise is that the thing in the video can really be called a "human".
I watched the video in the separation chip again.
Judging from the background, it is probably outside Night City, but not far from the Bad Land.
In the picture, a humanoid beast with a spider appearance and fine hairs on its body is easily slaughtering military technology soldiers.
There is no doubt that it is not a robot or something like that.
It is a pure creature.
But it is precisely because of this that it feels extremely outrageous - this thing is too strong.
Although the soldiers of Military Technology have been fighting hard, the flames from the muzzles have never stopped.
But no matter what weapons they use, they can't leave any damage on this humanoid beast.
Even the technical weapons that can easily penetrate a concrete wall can only barely leave a small pit in front of the material exoskeleton...
Then it heals completely in a few breaths.
On the other hand, the spider monster, holding a heavy machine gun in its left hand, easily suppressed the soldiers of Military Technology with its powerful firepower and invulnerable defense.
And the right hand has a black hard object in the shape of a blade, which can easily split people and vehicles in two with a casual stroke.
Even after the bullets of the heavy machine gun were used up, it simply threw it away and rushed into the remaining crowd, performing a scene of tearing people apart with its hands.
The scene was extremely bloody, with torn corpses everywhere.
In just a few minutes, the entire convoy was killed.
At the end of the video, a few Arasaka people came from the side... Because of the distance, even after repairs, the sound inside was not very clear.
But from their conversation, words such as "12th experiment", "improvement", and "transporting Chimera" can still be vaguely heard.
Of course, there is also the name of the monster.
——Amazon.
"What the hell is that monster?"
Pulling out the separation chip, Manin, who had just enjoyed a feast of flesh and blood, was not in a good mood.
Faraday took a deep puff of the cigar in his hand and replied: "I don't know."
"Huh?"
"It's because I don't know, so I'm going to let you check it out - the only thing I can be sure of is that this thing is related to Arasaka."
This is nonsense.
And the other party will definitely not admit it... After all, this is the same if it is military technology.
—— In fact, the video was taken thanks to the drone that was broken on the ground but not completely broken.
Frankly speaking, this biological combat weapon, which is completely different from the current prosthesis and exoskeleton, is still very attractive.
After all, all the super companies are preparing for the fifth corporate war that will happen at an unknown time in the future.
In this case, the more cards in hand, the better.
And powerful and reliable biological combat weapons are one of the projects that major companies have favored.
...It's a pity that they are suffering from insufficient technology.
On the one hand, they can't produce it, and on the other hand, even if they are made, the cost is far less than mechanical weapons such as prosthesis.
But now the mortal enemy Arasaka has made it!
Made it!
And from the video, the actual combat performance is damn strong!
So now military technology can't sit still.
Damn it, I knew that you bastards who have a good life will never change!
With the idea of making trouble even if they can't get it, but not wanting to confront Arasaka head-on, they found Faraday.
