Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 281 43. Room
"I have entered the area you mentioned, T-BUG. In front of me is a monitoring room, and behind me seems to be the sex dolls' private changing room. Which part should I start with?"

V bent over and squatted in the shadows, trying to get some instructions from his companions.

"Is anyone in the dressing room?"

Carl first asked about the storage room, and V looked around briefly before answering:

"No, it looks busy."

"Our goal is to find those former Arasaka security personnel and get the notes from them. The notes that may have secret codes written on them are valuable items. They should carry them with them at all times and should not store them secretly in places like sex doll changing rooms."

Carl thought for a moment and arranged the next course of action for V: "Enter the monitoring room, kill the people in the monitoring room, then connect to the local area network of this area and hand over the authority to T-BUG."

"clear."

V slowly pushed open the door of the monitoring room in front of him. Before the person in charge of monitoring heard the noise and turned around, he suddenly rushed into the monitoring room, put his hands on the neck of the Tiger Claw Gang member in charge of monitoring and twisted it hard.

Although V's palm strength was not as good as Carl's who had prosthetics, nor as well trained as Jack's, but the physique tempered in the Badlands was still not much inferior. With just a twist of his palms on his head, there was a crisp sound from the cervical vertebrae, and the Tiger Claw Gang member died from spinal cord injury caused by dislocation of the upper cervical vertebrae before he could even come to his senses.

When facing the sex doll, V would hold back and let her live. After all, she was just a person selling her body and dignity here. However, V would not hold back at all towards the Tiger Claw Gang, which had become his enemy.

After easily knocking down the Tiger Claw Gang member in the monitoring room, V made sure that he did not alarm anyone and connected to the monitoring equipment.

"T-BUG, is it ok now?"

"A direct connection is already being made through you."

T-BUG said, "Give me half a minute, and I will be able to complete the control and cracking of the relevant access. I will let the ball follow your route from the outside and enter this room to control the monitoring room."

"OK."

While V was waiting quietly, the ball came faster than T-BUG said. More than ten seconds later, the black and white spherical figure rolled in from the door, rolled all the way to V's side and stretched out its body.

"Alright V, let Qiuqiu take over."

Watching the access line extending from the gap in the ball's shoulder being connected in the grasp of its claws, V unplugged his own access line, then stepped back and watched the constantly changing and flashing images on the surveillance screen.

"Let me see, this protection is really old, it's been around for so many years, and they are still using it. Okay, the crack is done."

Almost within ten seconds of the ball being connected, T-BUG completely cracked and took over all the surveillance. As she controlled it, the light in front of V kept flashing, and finally all the screens froze in a rather luxurious suite.

It was a luxurious room with exquisite decoration, even paintings hanging on the walls. The overall layout seemed a bit dim. There were four people in the room. Three of them were sitting on a fake leather sofa in the room with quite casual postures. Opposite the three of them, the last person in the room was sitting at a desk with his hands propped up, frowning and staring at the three people, his mouth opening and closing constantly, as if he was discussing something with the three people.

“Is this the office camera in the manager’s room?”

V stared at the screen curiously, and then focused his attention on the three people sitting on the leather sofa. He was very familiar with the faces of the three people. T-BUG had shown them not long ago:

"It looks like the target is indeed in this area with another LAN."

"We are comparing their appearances. After confirmation, they are both real."

After making the comparison, T-BUG's voice became a little more relaxed, and he also gave Oliver a new route plan during the communication: "Oliver, the room has been confirmed. I have looked at the relevant ventilation duct routes and will give you new instructions. You move quietly and crawl along the new route." "No, I haven't climbed there yet. How high am I now?"

"Almost three quarters, almost there."

After T-BUG replied to Oliver, who was almost suffocating in the passage, she controlled the ball to switch out the scanning program and scanned several people in the room. Among the strings of flowing numbers, she saw what she wanted:
"The man behind the desk should be the new manager of Genting. He doesn't have any special prosthetics that need attention, but there is a pistol on his waist that looks like Kenshin's. Those three people need to be paid attention to. I have already scanned their prosthetics. You know, the standard configuration of Arasaka ninjas."

"Standard configuration for Arasaka ninjas?"

Jack said, "Is that a Sian Westin with a mantis blade?"

"How clever, Jack. By the way, I have an additional message for you all. From the personnel files I have seen, they are all veterans of the South American Arasaka Special Operations Zone. Each of them has rich combat experience, and the number of casualties they have killed is almost in the triple digits."

"You can even find this, awesome T-BUG."

"No, I didn't find Jack. It's the list of people to be fired that Arasaka prepared, which was just revealed by Military Technology. These three are all on the list. By the way, there are a total of 134 people scheduled to be fired this time, most of whom are Arasaka personnel who have just been transferred from other places to Night City."

"Military technology, why are they joining in the fun? What does Arasaka's expulsion of people have to do with them?"

Oliver, who was crawling in the pipe, didn't quite understand.

"Guess what other companies will do if they get this list of people who will be fired who have Arasaka's internal information. It's probably that Military Technology deliberately threw it out to disgust Arasaka. The meaning is quite clear. Anyone who wants to know Arasaka's internal information should protect these people who are scheduled to be "optimized" but have not yet been announced to be fired before they are dealt with by the agents sent by Arasaka."

Carl saw it clearly. It was just disgusting Arasaka. It was not surprising that military technology would do such a thing. However, it was foreseeable that those Arasaka personnel who knew the list but had not been officially expelled would probably get involved with other companies in order to survive and cause a lot of trouble in Night City.

"But the military technology is so disgusting that Arasaka is a bargain for us. Now the situation of the personnel prostheses is clear."

Following the location sent by T-BUG, Carl arrived above the administrator's room and slowly squatted down.

"Action in ten seconds."

"The downstairs is already in place."

Jack raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

"I'll be there soon."

Oliver has seen the 'light' at the end of the pipe crawl.

"I'm at the door."

V leaned against the wall of the corridor, staring at the door not far away.

In slow breaths, Carl's words rang out one last time before taking action.

"One for each person."
