Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 235 94. Looking down and looking up

"64."

Under the fearful gaze of the Arasaka security personnel, Carl put down the Nightmare in his hand and counted the number of people.

This is the 64th person I have killed.

"The floor has been cleared."

Amid the warning sounds coming from all directions, Carl walked past the crowd that had made way for him and got back on the elevator.

Generally speaking, it is not very difficult to clean out the people in Arasaka Tower. For the people of Arasaka, the vice president is outside and the complicated forces are what need to be cleaned up slowly later. However, those have nothing to do with Carl.

The elevator went up and stopped after a while. Then the elevator door opened, and in front of Carl appeared Adam Hammer, whose mechanical body was almost dyed red. In the eyes whose murderous intent was gradually calming down, Carl saw a questioning look.

Without waiting for Adam Heavy Hammer to speak, Carl took the initiative to report his number: "64."

"You've got a long way to go, kid."

Adam Heavy Hammer walked into the elevator. As he entered, the elevator visibly began to sink slightly due to his weight, but then stabilized. Standing in the crowded elevator, Adam Heavy Hammer slowly spoke, "102."

Is the gap so big?

Carl looked at Adam hitting the hammer. Although he was not surprised by the result, such a big gap was still a little hard for him to accept.

Even if Adam Heavy Hammer is covered with killing weapons, even if Adam Heavy Hammer is the head of security and can get information earlier than him and know more clearly which level has more people, this gap must have its own problems.

Carl originally expected the gap to be between 20-25, but this gap is nearly 40, almost reaching two-thirds of his own number, which is too much.
There must be something lacking in myself.

Carl remained silent as he thought about the other purpose of his visit to Arasaka today.

Wait a minute, I have to pick out some weapons carefully, and I also have to think about the selection of the prosthesis and have it sent over for Lao Wei and the others to inspect.

He is still far from being able to reach Adam's Hammer and Morgan's Black Hand.

"Fortunately, I recorded the competition between Kenichi Shiro and Chiyo. I will watch it again and again when I get home. I also have to complete many tasks. I will have to take on some big jobs later."

In the somewhat silent elevator, Adam Heavy Hammer did not get complacent with his well-deserved victory. He looked at Carl who was in deep thought and asked a question that was temporarily interrupted by the arrival of the elevator: "You and Haruko, are you on good terms?"

Hearing this question again, Carl came back to his senses from his thoughts, raised his head, looked into Adam's eyes, and nodded slightly without hesitation: "Okay, we are friends."

Carl would only share food with friends or people who needed comfort.

"friend?"

Adam Heavy Hammer looked at Carl's natural expression without any falsehood, and was silent for a moment, which was rare, and then turned his head:

"If you have more thoughts, you'd better be careful."

"More thoughts?"

Carl didn't know why Adam Heavy Hammer told him this, but Adam Heavy Hammer didn't mean to explain. He just kept talking to himself, "Enjoying the feelings, being close to the heart, being close to things that look like sheep but are actually flying birds, this is ridiculous, just like thinking that you can reach the sky with your hands."

"Are you saying something poetic, Mr. Adam Hammer? I didn't expect you to be so cultured."

Hearing Karl's words, Adam Heavy Hammer turned his head back abruptly, with a dangerous look in his eyes: "Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to that request, but stood there and watched you die."

"That's it."

Carl smiled at Adam Hammer and said sincerely: "But I am very grateful to you for saving my life, so if I really have a chance to defeat you, I will break your mechanical body and spare your life."

Those eyes met Adam's heavy hammer, without shifting their gaze at all: "I remember all the kindness and grace you showed me, and I will never forget it for a moment."

Adam Hammer was being stared at by Carl. He shouldn't have actively shifted his gaze, and he had never shifted his gaze while being stared at, but today, he did.

It's a bit dazzling, like looking at the sun that should no longer be dazzling.

human nature.

There is no such thing as Adam's Hammer.

But he could feel that this young man had something that he didn't have.

The thing was so dazzling that Adam felt the glare for the first time when he hit it hard. He couldn't understand it.

I can't understand it either.

so.
"Boy, you make me sick, I pray you won't stand across from me."

Adam turned around with a heavy hammer: "Otherwise, I will kill you next time I see you!"

There was not a trace of falsehood in these words, and the murderous intent was not concealed in the slightest.

Adam Heavy Hammer disdains to cover up or lie.

But in the face of that naked murderous intent, Carl still chuckled, and his words did not change at all.

"But I will spare you this time, Mr. Adam Hammer. A life for a life, and I will spare your life."

His words were full of confidence.

The self-confidence is almost arrogant and unbelievable.

It was obvious that he had just lost, and lost miserably to Adam Heavy Hammer, but when he said such words, it seemed so natural and matter-of-fact that Adam Heavy Hammer didn't know why he didn't make a sound of disdain or scorn in this regard.

Maybe he can do it.

Maybe he can actually do it.

If anyone else said this, Adam Chongchui would feel a rare and mocking sense of pleasure. However, it was different when Carl said it.

There was no threat or murderous intent, only that it was a matter of course.

'Ding. '

The elevator reached the 132nd floor.

Adam strode out of the elevator with a heavy hammer and stood at the door.

The elevator door closed and began to move upward.

Adam turned his head with a heavy hammer.

Looking at the elevator that was closing, he suddenly jumped up.

Under the horrified gazes of the surrounding Arasaka personnel, he used his mechanical arms to tear open the iron door of the elevator room, stood at the edge of the elevator room, and looked up.

The elevator was rising with Carl in it.

It rises very high.

It was so high that even if Adam Hammer raised his head to look, he felt like he couldn't see the top.

'Disgusting, disgusting, repulsive, annoying brat.'

Adam hammered and turned.

'Next time, I'll kill you!'

"Ding."

Carl reaches the floor.

140 floors.

The top of Arasaka Tower, the top of Night City.

On the floor where the CEO was, Carl saw Haruko who had finished the meeting and was waiting there.

She had just ended the projection communication, and in the last dissipated projection, what Carl saw was a woman with long blue hair and peculiar clothes.
