Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 493 106. Ghost
The charging gun connected to the exoskeleton emitted a scorching light. Facing the dazzling light in the dim factory building, Carl turned the Kenshin in his palm and finally clenched it in his palm.

Without any signal to start a war, the moment the light suddenly became dazzling, Karl fired the gun in his hand.

Four bullets were fired at once, and each one was aimed at Royce's body embedded in the exoskeleton.

Royce's body has undergone a certain degree of prosthetic modification, and has sufficient protection against ordinary firearms, but when facing Kenshin, that defensive ability is still not enough.

Not all members of the Vortex Gang are equipped with heavy armor sufficient to protect against attacks from technological weapons.

This bulky modification is rare even within the Vortex Gang. After all, armor will increase weight, and in battle, being a step slower may mean facing the fate of explosion and laser cutting.

Armor is always targeted, and in order to be perfect in resisting both impact and cutting, the required transformation may be enough to turn them into half Adam's hammer.

Obviously, Royce is just a relatively innocent member of the Uzumaki Gang. He still cares about becoming the gang leader, but he has not reached the level of the Uzumaki Gang extremists who want to immediately turn themselves into a cyber psychopath like Adam Sledgehammer.

Therefore, his protection was not enough to resist Kenshin's bullets.

However, Royce naturally knew that he was the biggest weakness of this exoskeleton body, and he had been prepared for it.

When Kenshin's bullet came over, Royce's exoskeleton left hand had already raised a protective shield made of special material to block in front of him.

"Ding--"

The tungsten bullet hit the protective shield in Royce's hand, making only a slightly strange sound before sliding away. It was obvious that the material used for the shield was not ordinary, and the impact caused by the bullet could not make Royce's exoskeleton arm feel the slightest vibration.

Obviously, Kenshin's rapid-fire attack had no ability to penetrate Royce's raised shield without proper charging time.

But what Carl cares more about is Royce's speed.

"Have you installed the reflection plugin? This isn't particularly strange for a boss who is crazy about modification."

However, raising the shield to protect the body's safety, the vision blocked for a moment is enough to do many things.

He rushed forward, and when Royce put down his shield and tried to find Carl's trace, Carl had already appeared in front of him.

Royce's prosthetic eyes flashed wildly, and the vision of numerous prosthetic eyes helped him instantly lock and capture Carl's slightly blurry figure.

Without any hesitation, he adjusted the angle of the shield in his left hand, released the trigger of the charging gun that was continuously accumulating energy with his right fingers, and aimed the muzzle at Carl who was rushing towards him.

A bright red burning light instantly burst out from the charging gun. The power tank on the back connected to Royce's exoskeleton continuously supplied energy to the gun, allowing the charging gun in his hand to shoot out a continuous beam of light.

The light beam swept towards Carl as Royce's exoskeleton arm swung, but how could the light beam, which needed to adjust its angle along with the arm, catch up with Carl?

"too slow."

Carl, who originally thought that Royce could bring him some entertainment and wanted to see what this heavily armored exoskeleton could do, was disappointed.

With this performance, at best they can be used as a turret in street fights, and they may be hit by rocket launchers bought in Dog Town at any time. Is this the only ability of the Vortex Gang?

When the beam of light swept across the figure captured by Royce's prosthetic eye, Carl was no longer there.

According to the persistence of vision of the human body's natural eyes, if something completely leaves its original position within 0.4 seconds, it may produce an afterimage. However, that is the time span of the artificial eye. If you want to leave this kind of blurred vision in the artificial eye, it can only be that the artificial eye's light capture function cannot catch up, and that speed has far exceeded the limit of what ordinary people can react to. The ordinary human reaction is only 0.3 seconds. Specially trained and selected personnel can reach 0.11 seconds. Royce, who has installed a reflection plug-in, can be faster than this. But even if he has reached this level, his visual capture and his reaction cannot keep up with Carl's speed at this moment.

Before Royce could react, a gun was thrust against his jaw from the side.

Royce's face has been modified with prosthetics, and the only part of his face that is not covered by prosthetics is his jaw. If you shoot from this place, the bullet will go directly into his brain.

And Carl did the same.

"Bah."

In the sound of gunfire, Royce didn't even have time to say anything before a hole appeared in his brain.

For ordinary mercenaries, if they want to deal with Royce, the boss of the Whirlpool Gang who wears an exoskeleton and has quite good actual strength, they should start with the energy tank of the exoskeleton, destroy it and paralyze part of the weapon power source, and then find a way to break through Royce's defense and attack Royce himself. However, this strategy does not apply to Carl.

Carl's current vision can easily see through people's weaknesses. In this case, combined with his speed, as long as he is a little serious, a Vortex Gang boss wearing an exoskeleton will not be able to pass in front of him even for a moment.

It will be very fast.

It wasn’t very long, but it was enough.

It is indeed enough.

There are countless moments of sighs in life, and it is enough to pick one of these moments to get rid of Royce.

"Click——"

As the exoskeleton stopped functioning due to a loss of control, Carl stared at Royce's body and began to daze.

Then, it took him a full four seconds to accept a fact.

Oops, I accidentally killed him.

Karl always said that he rarely held back when doing things, and today, he obviously verified what he said to the middleman.

He acted too quickly, and by the time he realized he should stop his hand, his hand had already pulled the trigger.

Carl looked at Royce's body and was stunned for a few seconds.

What did Roger ask for?
It seems like we're just teaching the boss a lesson, not beating him to death, right?
Carl looked at Royce's body again.

this.
Can the Whirlpool Gang boss still be rescued?

Damn it.

Seeing him wearing an exoskeleton and pretending to challenge me to a duel, I got a little carried away for a moment. But who knew that he was just a candle with a silver spear and fell down at the first touch.
