Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 118 96. Kenichi Shiro
"Have Mann and the others found out Tanaka's whereabouts?"

Oliver, who had come back after watching Mewtwo, was somewhat impressed by the progress of the matter: "As expected of a team with three hackers, the speed is fast."

"They say they know, but in fact they just found out that Tanaka often goes to order Black Mewtwo privately, so Mann made a suggestion. Can we find the editor of Black Mewtwo and ask him to make an appointment with Tanaka?"

Carl said, "The first person I have to look for, haha, happens to be someone I know. Mann and the others sent me a message saying that the person who customized the Black Mewtwo for Tanaka is a Black Mewtwo editor named JK. I didn't think of looking for him specifically, but this mission just happened to be delivered to him."

“What is the specific process?”

"To put it simply, this kind of perverted private customized Black Mewtwo is basically customized by the client and the editor in a private meeting. Isn't Tanaka's whereabouts difficult to find because he is protected by the Arasaka Company? Then we can simply tie up a JK whose whereabouts are easier to find, and then use him to lure Tanaka out."

"Will Tanaka go without bodyguards?"

"You see, even the perverts know about private rooms, don't you think Tanaka doesn't? A company dog ​​has to save face more."

"Have you found out who JK is specifically?"

"As for this, Mann and the others are still investigating."

Carl and his friends were chatting as they boarded the Sky Hera parked not far from the entrance of the Ritz Bar. David, who was sitting in the back seat and listening to Carl and Oliver's chat, suddenly spoke up: "If it's JK, his name is Jimmy Kurosaki. He's a Mewtwo director with a lot of die-hard fans, so his real name is no secret."

After hearing David's words, the other three looked at him at the same time.

Then Oliver spoke up: "Do you know him well?"

"I have read all his Mewtwo series."

"Yes, you sell Black Mewtwo, so you must be more familiar with these."

Oliver nodded. Since the director was the famous Mewtwo, it shouldn't take long for Mann and the others to find the relevant information.

Oliver was afraid that Jimmy Kurosaki was only known as a JK in the market, and her identity was hidden better than Tanaka's. It would be difficult to find her in that case.

Sure enough, just as David said, JK's real identity Jimmy Kurosaki was no secret in Night City. When Carl and the other two sent David home, Mann's team had already sent information about Jimmy Kurosaki.

Mann: We've found out that Jimmy Kurosaki will be going to a club tomorrow, so leave it to us to capture him.

After all, they received half of the reward for this job, so Mann and his team were still quite active in their work, and Carl had no objection to this.

He and Mann had originally agreed that they would just let each other know when there was any progress, and the specific actions were up to their team.

I have to say, it’s great to have a cooperative team.

After saying goodbye to Oliver and Jack, Carl returned to his apartment.

After washing up, Carl came to the rented computer in the apartment, opened the local area network of Night City, and read the latest news. Then he noticed a special piece of news, which was not about Night City, but about the wanderers.

[Wanderers]: A group of people who leave their homes, wander in the bad land, and rely on their families for warmth.

This news about the wanderers reads: "A family called 'Buckel' formed by the desperadoes in the Bad Land has once again split up. Perhaps the desperadoes who have troubled the New American Highway 43 transportation route for a long time will soon disappear due to the split. All this is inseparable from the hard work of the New American soldiers."

Carl ignored the mostly boasting text at the end, which was of little use. His attention was mainly focused on the words "Baker".

For some reason, he always felt that this Baker was a little familiar, as if he had heard of him somewhere.

Carl silently kept this piece of news in mind, preparing to pay special attention to it later. He tried to recall where he had heard about Baker and read the recent news again.

"Regarding the appearance of ACPA in Night City, Arasaka and Militech had a proper discussion and discovered the real mastermind behind it. The former director of Militech's technical research and development department tried to bring ACPA into Night City to reignite the war for his own selfish desires.

His desire to provoke a war has been punished by Militech, and the harmonious negotiations between Arasaka and Militech have once again brought peace to Night City."

The news of the death of the scapegoat has only just begun to circulate in the news. However, judging from the news, in the dispute between Arasaka and Militech, it was the people from Militech who gave in first.

Although there were people from both sides in that mission, most of the assassins were Arasaka personnel holding Shingen, but the most critical ACPA armor was driven by the military technology personnel.

Most of the people being protected are Arasaka's security guards, as well as mercenaries hired by Militech, like Carl and his gang.

Most of the attackers were Arasaka's Hawks, and Militech's ACPA pilots.

From this perspective, it really is a chain of events, and everyone has their own solutions.

“Bang, bang.”

Just when Carl finished reading the news and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on his door.

This time.
Carl connected to the door camera and looked outside. He found that the visitor was wearing a black suit. He was a man, about 40 years old. He was not very strong, but there were obvious signs of prosthetic modifications under the suit. He had an East Asian face, and a pair of prosthetic eyes that glowed yellow, staring at the door camera that Carl used to see him.

"Who?"

An unfamiliar face came to visit at almost twelve o'clock, which was obviously not right.

Not in a hurry to respond to the knocks and doorbell, Carl put on the bulletproof jacket he had taken off when he was about to go to bed, then inserted a gun into the gun bag on his waist, put on a few grenades, and went to the weapons storage room to get a crusher shotgun as a backup weapon. After spending six seconds fully armed, Carl responded.

"Who's coming?"

Carl's voice came through the door's communication, but the man just said his name as an answer.

"You can call me Kenichi Shiro, Mercenary KK."

Kenichi Shiro
After listening to the self-introduction of this obviously Japanese name, Carl hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door, opened it and faced the man.

"What's matter?"

This was Karl's first words after the two officially met.
