Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 10 Securicine ([-])

April 2074, 1, evening.

"Regina Jones?" Xita sat obediently beside Roger, sipping ice water.

"The middleman in Watson District, with an unusual background." Rogge gently shook the wine glass, and took a sip. The sweet and spicy taste is nostalgic.

"Xita Kasdey, you are really hot right now. In just one day, you have become popular in the circle of middlemen. He Gezi has suffered a lot because you are a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis."

"Killed 41 Tiger Claw gang members face to face, tsk tsk," Rogge reached out and stroked Xita's neat short hair, "Where did our little Xita find a strong partner?"

"Rogge!" Xita shook his head, trying to avoid the claws, but unfortunately failed, "He... his name is Yawei, my boyfriend!" Xita put down the water glass, put his hands on his hips, quite pride.

"Xita!" Rogge sighed heavily, "I'm just worried that you will be deceived...don't be like..." She stopped talking, and slowly put down the hand that was rubbing Xita's hair.

"She is so kind to you, Xita," Yawei sat beside Xita, carefully paying attention to Rogge's subtle expressions and hesitating words.

"She is my biggest benefactor in Night City..." Xita responded softly. She realized that Rogge had something to hide, which might be the direct reason why she often cared and took care of her, but she didn't intend to ask.Just like knowing that Yawei is also hiding something from himself, too much digging will only affect the relationship, and it is more conducive to the maintenance of the relationship to keep a little private space with each other.

In Night City, long-term bonds are priceless.For this truth, Xita Kasdeyi is well aware of it.

"This is her contact information," Rogge handed Xita an information chip, "It's confirmed, it's safe and non-toxic."

Xi Tan took the chip and inserted it into the port on the back of his other side of the brain.

"Hey, Miss Xita Kasdey! I'm Regina Jones. If you want to pick up jobs in Watson District, just give me a call." The person who answered the phone was wearing a monocular eye patch and military bulletproof Smart lady in waistcoat. "Of course, if there is an entrustment, I will also take the initiative to call you. Just like today, I have an entrustment for you here." She paused, as if she was flipping through the information.

"Someone reported five gunshots in a black clinic in the Kabuki district of Watson District. Go over and have a look, try to catch those alive, and allow them to be killed if necessary. Be safe, Miss Xita Kasdey." After a polite sentence at the end, Regina Jones hung up the phone vigorously.

"Wow..." Xi Tan raised her eyebrows, a little unaccustomed to Regina's quick talk.

"She is like this. She has a military background and is strict in doing things, but unexpectedly she is a good person." Roger patted Xita on the shoulder, and drank the remaining spirits in the glass in one gulp.

"The Kabuki district, it's pretty close here, you can walk there." Xita was gearing up, eager to get a vote.

"Xi Tan!" Before Xi Tan got up to leave, Rogge stopped her, "The path you choose, even if you fail a hundred times, don't regret it!" She said softly, it was a warning to Xi Tan, It is also a wake-up call to oneself.

"I will never regret it!" Xita punched the air forcefully without looking back.Seeing the perseverance and determination under her beautiful side face, Yawei smiled and walked side by side with her, leaving the Nightclub of Afterlife together.

Watson District was once a thriving heart of Night City, home to corporate offices and a cutting-edge medical center.It is a pity that time has passed. Under the influence of the economic downturn, the capital and power center of Night City has been transferred to the city center, leaving a chaotic area mixed with new militarism, kitschism, and entropyism.

Nowadays, the living environment here is harsh, and people are struggling to survive under the brutal management of enterprises and gangs. Their lives are miserable, and they may be killed on the streets at any time. This is the area that gamblers focus on when they bet on the lottery of the dead.

The Kabuki district was once controlled by Japanese medical companies, which is also the origin of its name, but now it has become a three-way zone, and it is the most chaotic place in the entire Watson district.

Entropyism dominates the Kabuki district, and all kinds of dirty shops, small vendors, fast food trucks and street girls are mixed with the smell. Xita is wearing a pink hood and carrying a military backpack, lightly Covering his nose lightly, it took him a while to get used to it.

Yawei stood aside, always on guard for possible threats.

"It's really chaotic here," he shook his head. They had only passed through a few streets, but they seemed to have entered another world.

Xi Tan covertly caressed the kinetic energy pistol hidden behind his waist, making sure that he could draw it out immediately to fight back in case of a sudden firefight.

"It's still 100 meters away from the mission goal," she said, turning on the scanning mode of the crossroads prosthetic eye, and the yellow mission logo was clearly visible in a mixed distribution of illegal buildings.

"There is no threat for the time being." Yawei added lightly, allowing Xita to go to the mission destination with peace of mind.

Going deep along the winding narrow alley, Xita came to the door of a black clinic.The doors and windows of the clinic were closed, and under the flickering of rough neon lights, the pale walls of the clinic were very strange.

"Attention, there is a sign of life in the clinic ahead." Yawei invaded the clinic along the network, and unexpectedly found that the cameras in the store had been destroyed, and could only be retrieved by switching to the biometric scanning mode.

"Received!" Xi Tan took out the kinetic pistol and made sure the bullets were loaded.

This is the mode of action she discussed with Yawei just now on the road.She wanted to try the feeling of fighting side by side with him and cooperating with each other.She's a weak little rookie, but she doesn't want to hide behind men forever.

Roger's intuition is very accurate. Xita and her are essentially the same kind of people, strong and proud, willing to pay any price to catch up with someone.

Xi Tan walked around the clinic lightly, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, as if a strange fog had shrouded the area, she took a breath, nodded and signaled to Yawei.

So the closed door of the clinic was slowly opened, and it was easy for Yawei to remotely hack into it.

She put on a mask, held a pistol, leaned against the door, and waited quietly.Three seconds later, she threw a smoke bomb into it sideways.

Xita crouched and rushed into the house quickly.

"Yawei, confirm the situation!"

"There is no danger on the first floor, and the target is in the basement." Yawei looked at Xita approvingly, which seemed to be the case.

Although he didn't understand Xita's thoughts, he chose to respect them.

Xita crouched and walked step by step towards the stairs leading to the basement, making sure that no movement would be caused.

The door of the basement is a traditional structure, which cannot be hacked into, and can only be opened manually.

After being surprised for a short time, she confirmed that the method of violently breaking the door was feasible. Xita took a posture of exerting force, leaned forward slightly with her slender body, and took out an electromagnetic shock bomb from her pocket—a high-end product, which can temporarily cause the prosthetic body to malfunction.With one foot on the ground, aim the other next to the door lock.

She exerted all her strength, kicked hard, and threw an electromagnetic shock bomb into the crack of the open door. After hearing the screams from behind the door, she rushed to the door and raised her hand to the ground who was covering his head and struggling. The man was shot twice in both legs to prevent him from escaping.

Only now did she have time to observe the scene behind the door.

The basement was in a mess. It was roughly estimated that there were five victims. There were stumps and broken arms everywhere. The blood was like paint, and the whole basement was painted over, without missing a single thing.There are four heads placed in the four corners, and one head is missing.

"I*!" Xi Tan slammed Cyber ​​Psycho on the ground. It was a middle-aged man with blood all over his body.

"..." Yawei looked around silently and sighed.

It's really a scene like hell. Human beings always have a lot of experience in mutilating their own kind.
