Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 323 85. Knowing a little secret
“This is tragic.”

On the newly arrived hovercraft, Oliver looked at the military technology below that was in disarray due to the appearance of Adam's heavy hammer, and said with a trace of sympathy or emotion:

"Why is this guy Adam Heavy Hammer here? Isn't he the security chief of Arasaka Tower? Why does he come here to take care of every little thing? He works so hard. It's obvious that protecting Arasaka Tower is more important to him, right?"

"You want to find a reasonable excuse from Adam's hammer?"

Jack didn't have as many feelings as Oliver: "For a madman who everyone suspected was crazy, you actually tried to infer the reason for his behavior."

"That's not the case."

Sitting in the car with his feet resting comfortably outside the door, Carl stared down. Adam Hammer seemed to be playing a game, teasing the Militech soldiers into a frenzy of killing each other, but he himself was not in a hurry to do it himself.

After taking a few glances, Carl said, "Everyone says that Adam Heavy Hammer has gone crazy, but based on my impression of Adam Heavy Hammer, he is not crazy, but his thinking and current state are almost like crazy. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but he still maintains his strange rationality."

"The mental state is almost like being crazy, so isn't that crazy?"

V held his sheathed katana in his hand and changed the subject, no longer discussing the matter of Adam's Hammer with his companions: "So we are going to look for Mann and the others, right? Where are they?"

"I have found it."

With the ball as a medium, T-BUG successfully maintained a data connection in this harsh environment. Her voice rang out from the black and white bionic dog on the ground: "I have searched for Mann's location. After he found out that it was me who requested the connection, he released the location-related permissions. I have sent the location to the communication."

"You can control and release permissions by yourself. You don't need T-BUG to search for intrusions. It seems that Mann is in good condition now. Let me check the location."

After Carl determined the location, he found that it was just below them.
After seeing the location sent by T-BUG in the communication, the expressions of several people in the team were a little strange.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

While controlling the hovercraft to descend, Oliver complained: "It's actually the place we came to when we were on a mission. This place was probably a camp for night-wandering ghosts."

"That's also where we did our first mission with V."

Jack turned his head to look at V, who nodded and said, "I remember the 30,000 Euro commission."

"I think I know where Mann and his men are hiding. We went to that cave to rescue the military technology engineers, and now we are looking for Mann and his men again. Is this the Ruyi Cave where the snake demon and the scorpion demon hide? The Calabash Brothers are hurrying to get in."

Oliver was speechless when faced with Karl's words, which he could roughly understand but didn't know what he was saying. "Karl, can you please stop saying things we can't understand? I admit that I'm not well educated and can't understand, but please at least say something more modern."

“I don’t understand this either.”

T-BUG, the only educated member of the team, also complained about Carl's strange knowledge: "What era is this knowledge from, young master of the company?"

"It's from the 1980s. I don't know if it's still available now. The location is confirmed. I'll go down first."

Carl said nonchalantly, and without hesitation, he pushed his hands up and jumped down from the high-altitude hovercraft. His fall was accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, which attracted the attention of the Arasaka personnel underground who were desperately rushing to their destination, fearing that they would be affected by Adam's heavy hammer.

The group of Arasaka employees who had just arrived at the cave and eliminated the remaining military technology personnel raised their heads involuntarily when they heard the sound of wind similar to that of Adam's hammer falling. Then, they saw a very familiar figure falling rapidly in the sky.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters
When they saw the figure clearly, all the Arasaka staff were numb.

What the hell.

Isn’t this Karl? Why is he here too?

The people in Arasaka are very familiar with Carl. In fact, more people have seen Carl than Adam Hammer. That black hair and that face have long been imprinted in the minds of every Arasaka operative with each incident.

"Adam Hammer and Carl again. What kind of crap is this today? I really don't want to do it anymore."

The chief of Arasaka's counterintelligence department cursed while actually throwing the gun he used for self-defense to the ground.

Of course, work still has to go on. Sitting in his position, the salary and benefits provided by Arasaka have made him one of the top people in Night City. It is impossible for him to give up. When it comes to work, you can just curse it, you still have to do the work. The reason why he dropped his weapon is very simple - everyone understands Carl's rules.

To survive in Night City, especially in a place like the Counterintelligence Department where people are cannibalistic both outside and inside, a flexible mind is necessary. And facing KK, the top mercenary in Night City, his code of conduct has long been analyzed by Arasaka's side personality. In his calculations, as long as Carl doesn't know that you have done anything particularly bad, put down your weapons and talk nicely, he really won't kill you according to his temper. You are much easier to talk to than 99% of the people in Night City.

We are really going against Carl and his team. They are just workers. They work so hard for a few dollars' salary. They just have to save face.

Seeing that the big shot in the Counterintelligence Department who was in charge of commanding this operation had dropped his guns so quickly, the Arasaka personnel next to him were also considerate and followed suit. Those who were more focused on their duties just dropped their guns at their feet so they could pick them up at any time, while those who were more afraid threw their guns directly next to the section chief of the Counterintelligence Department. As a result, a small mountain of guns was piled up next to the section chief in a short while.

This behavior, which was almost like marking out who the key figures were, was noticed by the section chief. If they were not in different departments and these people were just assistants, he really wanted to kick all of them out of the company.

When I run, you follow me. When I throw my gun, you follow me. How can people like you who have no independent style make progress? Don’t you all want to work hard and give it a try? Go up and talk to Carl with guns. Come back alive and you will be promoted. Why are you making things difficult for me, the person in charge?
"Boom."

Karl found the right position and landed in front of the section chief.

Before landing, Carl paused in mid-air for a moment, used the compressed air emitted by the 'reinforced tendon' prosthesis to cushion his feet, and then landed steadily on the ground.

Immediately after Carl landed, the hovercraft also slowly descended, and people who looked very familiar to the Arasaka personnel jumped off one by one.

Jack, Oliver, and Carl's team mates, and then .
Looking at the last person, the chief of the counterintelligence department twitched his eyes.

Unlike the other Arasaka personnel behind him who were looking at the last person in confusion and obviously did not know him, the Chief of the Counterintelligence Department knew this guy. At the Arasaka banquet yesterday, the Chief of the Counterintelligence Department was a person who survived the attack.

"Isn't this guy the captain of the second combat team? How come he is hanging out with Carl and the others! "

The chief of the counterintelligence department looked at V and felt as if he knew some incredible little secrets.
