Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 465 78. City Council Press Conference
"It turns out that if we start from this place, we can destroy its overall balance and create a bigger gap. No, if it is the modified Dragoon set of Adam's Hammer, it shouldn't leave such a big gap, so it can only be used as a reference."

"Karl, are you still studying ACPA with V? It's been two days, and you haven't finished it yet? Come here, I got something good that you will definitely be interested in."

Just as Carl and V were studying the ACPA that had now been transported to their residence, Oliver, who had gone out in the morning, came home waving something in his hand.

Carl's train of thought was interrupted by Oliver's voice, and he temporarily stopped analyzing ACPA.

He glanced at ACPA, who was being carefully disassembled and reassembled piece by piece by V, and turned to look at Oliver:

"What did you get?"

Carl's eyes fell on Oliver's waving hand, "Mewtwo?"

Did Oliver get some rare Mewtwo? Why is he so excited?
Attracted by Oliver's excited voice, V also temporarily stopped the work at hand, turned his head and looked over, smiling: "You didn't buy some expensive Mewtwo again, Oliver? If it's that, we are not interested."

"I watched that kind of thing secretly by myself, and T-BUG complained every day that there were viruses in it. I learned how to set up a safe environment a long time ago."

He refuted subconsciously at first, and then Oliver suddenly realized what he had revealed, but he didn't care too much about it. Instead, he walked towards Carl with the Mewtwo in his hand: "But this Mewtwo, you really have to take a look at it, Carl, you will definitely be interested."

"So what is it that makes it so mysterious?"

Carl took the Mewtwo from Oliver's hand, curious about what Oliver was doing, but Oliver didn't say anything. He just handed the Mewtwo device to Carl and asked him to look at it himself.

"Don't tell me it's another perspective where I killed my own Mewtwo."

He was a little speechless, but Carl still found a random seat in the room and sat down, put on the Mewtwo device, and inserted Mewtwo.

“You’ll know once you experience it.”

Sensing Oliver's voice outside, the Mewtwo worn by Carl was activated. Amidst some dizziness and changes in light, Carl felt that the scenery of Mewtwo was slowly taking shape.

“Has the recording started?”

This was the first sentence Carl heard in his dream.

Then, he chose to pause immediately.

Carl's habit of watching Mewtwo is that he usually doesn't watch the entire Mewtwo continuously, but will pause it at any time.

After the pause, Carl observed the surrounding scenery with the help of the Mewtwo Recorder's perspective, and then he found that he was in a meeting place that was obviously carefully decorated, with several people in suits standing next to him.

With the help of the recorder's sense of smell, Carl could smell the scent of disinfectant. It was obvious that the venue had been cleaned and disinfected before.

Looking at the people in suits, Carl first noticed a man with a Kenshin pistol on his waist and a noticeable bulge in his body.

The person wearing heavy subcutaneous armor should be a bodyguard, judging by the freeze-frame action. His standing posture allows him to quickly protect someone and draw his gun.

Looking to the left, Carl saw someone familiar.

He was a bald white man in a suit, slightly fat, wearing a pair of white-rimmed glasses, and looked like a political elite.

Wow.

This is a big shot.

Although Carl had never seen this person in real life, he had appeared frequently on Night City's news channels. Wilton Holt.

The current deputy mayor of Night City.

A seasoned politician with many years of political experience.

At this moment, Wilton Holt was looking at the person recording the video. Carl could sense the respect for himself from the other person's facial expression.

Could it be that the person who recorded the video and made the deputy mayor look so respectful is "myself"?

Carl continued playing, and the sound he heard next confirmed his guess.

"Mr. Mayor, can we start the press conference?"

A person holding a camera in the distance was asking questions here, and the person he was looking at was 'himself' in Carl's perspective.

In Night City, there is only one person who can be called the mayor.

Lucius Lane.

This is a politician whom Carl had met once in the past when he was protecting Arasakase Nobuyuki.

This Mewtwo perspective was actually recorded by the mayor.

'No wonder Oliver said I was interested. This thing is really interesting.'

"How did you get this Oliver?"

Carl stopped playing Mewtwo again and asked Oliver outside: "This thing is not easy to handle, right?"

"It's not that hard. In fact, you can get it with a little effort on the black market. After all, it is standard procedure for Night City politicians to record their public appearances in the Dream Experience. Most politicians probably have a copy of this thing."

"Public appearances? No wonder."

This is part of the political process required by Night City law, for the purpose of keeping political records. Once the records are kept, it is not difficult to leak them in a place like Night City, so it is not surprising that Oliver was able to get a copy.

Oliver explained and urged Carl: “Keep reading, the highlight is next.”

"Okay, I'll keep going."

Carl continued to start the playback, and in his feeling, he nodded to the cameraman as Lucius Lane and walked to the stage of the press conference.

“Dear media friends and citizens, hello everyone, today, we gather here to discuss an important issue concerning the future of our city;

As we all know, Taiping State has always been an important part of our Night City. Its development and prosperity have had an unignorable impact on the economy and public security of our entire city.
Over the past period of time, we have noticed that the crime rate in Taiping State has increased, which not only affects the quality of life of local residents, but also has a certain negative impact on the overall image of our Night City. Therefore, after careful consideration, we have decided to take a new measure to more accurately reflect the security situation of our city.
From now on, the crime data of the Pacific State will no longer be included in the overall crime statistics of Night City. This decision is based on the high attention paid to data accuracy and transparency. We believe that in this way, we can more clearly show the true security situation in Night City, and also provide the Pacific State with an opportunity to independently demonstrate its security improvement results. "

time out.

Lucius Lane had just finished speaking when Carl paused the conversation because the content of his words was too heavy.

City Council, do you really not intend to manage Taiping Prefecture?
