Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 385 147. Thoughts
When they realized that the person who fell was a member of the Terrorist Mobile Team, different thoughts flashed through Carl and Andy's minds.

Carl looked at Melissa Rory at the feet of the Terrorist Squad, assessing her injuries.

'Looking at the angle and the sound I just heard, her spine may have been broken. It is not certain whether the nerves have been damaged. If the nerves are not damaged, she may still be able to recover after repair. If the nerves are damaged, whether she can survive depends on whether she has undergone any prior reconstruction of the spine.'

Carl still remembers Andy's plan to capture him alive, and wants to fight for his friend's hope. However, Andy is not thinking about Melissa Rory, the cyberpsychopath. What he sees is the real repressive force in Night City.

If NCPD is the official force of Night City, then the Squad is the real trump card that the City Council can play. It is the existence of the Squad that prevents Night City from being arbitrarily controlled by various forces on the surface. This force developed in the reconstruction of Night City is the symbol of Night City's power.

'Why did you alert the terrorist squad?'

Andy thought about it for a moment and understood why.

Even if their NCPD team was mobilized and blocked, those who were evacuated within the blockade would definitely know something if they didn't intend to alert anyone. What's more, Andy and his subordinates evacuated people by saying that there were high-risk personnel among them, and the high-risk personnel mentioned by NCPD are cyber-psychopaths!
"Some residents called the terrorist squad."

The terrorist squad riding in the hovercraft could naturally see the target more clearly than Andy and his men on the ground, so in terms of action, they immediately confirmed the cyberpsychopath, but the way they appeared was a little rough.

"Kaka."

A member of the terrorist squad, wearing a heavy bulletproof vest and a blue bulletproof plate reinforced vest inside, stepped out and landed on the ground from over Melissa Rory's body.

Then, he scanned Carl and Andy with the thermal imager with data analysis function, and finally his eyes stopped on Carl.

"Are you planning on using your kindness to save people again, Mercenary KK?"

As he said this, his eyes moved to Andy, "It's like saving this cowardly NCPD officer."

Save yourself?

When Andy heard this, he instantly realized the identity of this terrorist squad member.

He was not quite clear-headed at the time because he had lost his mind, but later he heard from Mr. Johnson that when Carl was rescuing him, he had a conflict with the captain of a terrorist squad. Now it seems... Enemies always run into each other on a narrow road?

"It is you."

Hearing the 'barking of dogs', Carl shifted his gaze from Melissa Rory to the terrorist squad member.

“Dallas Foster?”

Carl called out the name of the terrorist squad.

He had already connected to the NCPD database. As for NCPD personnel, even if they were only nominally part of the NCPD's Terrorist Squad, he only needed to take a quick look to know their names and identities.

When Carl called out his name, Dallas's expression could not be seen on his face, which was covered by a modified thermal imaging helmet, but he snorted.

Obviously, he didn't care that Carl knew his name.

As the hovercraft came to a stable stop, other members of the terrorist mobile team also jumped off the hovercraft one after another.

A female member of the Terrorist Squad, who was wearing lighter protective gear than the other members and was carrying equipment, and who should be the hacker in the team, came to Carl and Andy.

"According to Article 105 of the Cyberpsychiatric Procedure Code, all of your statements regarding this incident will be recorded and used as evidence in court. I am the interrogator of the fourth team and will be responsible for recording this. Please state your name and occupation." "NCPD Sergeant, Andy."

Andy was clearly aware of the procedures of the Terrorist Squad. He directly gave his name and his police number: "According to the regulations, I should be responsible for this matter."

"That was before. Once the alarm is triggered and the person is confirmed to be a cyberpsycho, we will take over."

The interrogator, who obviously knew more about procedures than the police chief Andy, who had just started his career, rejected Andy's request: "If you have any objections, please refer to Article 56 of the Cyber ​​Psychiatry Procedure Guidelines. When NCPD officers and the Terrorism Squad jointly enforce the law, the needs of the Terrorism Squad shall prevail."

Faced with someone who knew more about the law than he did, Andy, who used to be just a mercenary, was stunned for a moment and then had nothing to say.

The Terrorist Squad understands the law better than he, the sheriff, and he has no choice but to accept it.

"Karl, last name Karl, mercenary."

Before the female member of the terrorist squad turned around, Carl reported his name and identity.

He is an excellent citizen who has never violated the law. He has never done anything illegal. Even if he did, it would have been wiped out with the help of T-BUG and Mr. Johnson. He has no stain at all. Now facing the inquiries of the Terrorist Squad, he will naturally cooperate as a good citizen.

"Mercenary, Carl."

After recording it, the hacker from the Terrorist Squad took a look at Carl, confirmed his face and said, "Turn off the facial disguise. I need to record the video for confirmation."

"Row."

Carl had regained his original face when he walked over. He realized that his unactivated chip had been scanned by the hackers of the Terrorist Squad, so he took out the chip directly.

The hacker from the Terrorist Squad looked up and down at Carl's face, and after confirming his identity, he said, "Verification completed. Please explain the previous situation."

"Let me tell you the story first."

When Sheriff Andy was explaining what had happened before to the Terrorist Squad, Carl watched as several members of the Terrorist Squad lifted Melissa Rory, whose body was limp due to a broken spine, onto a restraint device similar to a stretcher, and then moved her directly to the hovercraft. Carl raised his eyebrows as he watched them not forget to give her an injection during the transportation process.

It seems that these terrorist mobile teams are really short of people.

The members of the Terrorist Mobile Squad will not rescue people out of kindness. If they rescue people, it only means that the person is valuable to them, and the value shown by Melissa Rory is obviously the force.

Before it was Andy, now it's Melissa Rory. It's been so long, and the terrorist squad is still short of people.

"I heard that the first and most trusted core members of the Terrorist Squad were all elites sent from the police force."

Carl had an idea.

Mr. Johnson is now in a very stable position, and Andy has no room for advancement as sheriff.
Since we have already reached out to NCPD, why not try the Terrorist Squad?

　ps. I was insulted in the comment section today. A guy said that I was great at anti-theft measures, which made me break down, because I have never taken any anti-theft measures at all. Pirates don’t steal my books, and you can blame me if you don’t see any piracy. Damn it, you deserve to die. This reminded me of the writer’s insult, “Even pirates don’t steal your books.”

　　So I was insulted and in a bad mood. I will take a day off the day after tomorrow to play Monster Hunter Wilderness ()
