Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 524 137. Can’t run away!
"Stop, unidentified person in front, stop!"

Not long after Carl and his companions left the Tiger Claw Gang's residence, they were spotted by an NCPD officer who arrived.

Today's NCPD patrol officers are completely different from the past. They are all composed of elite personnel, and they are all equipped with new prosthetics and use high-end weapons. In the prosthetic eyes of this group of people, a few people with blood on their bodies, casual postures, carrying weapons, and emitting the smell of gunpowder walking on the street are really conspicuous.

Ordered by the police to stop, Carl and the others naturally stopped.

We are all good citizens. If the police ask you to stop, you must stop.

"you."

The police officer holding the Ajax rifle walked over and was about to say something when he noticed Arasakase Nobuyuki.

I have to say that Arasakase Nobuo's face really attracts attention when he walks on the street. Even the NCPD police officers who pass by will immediately focus their eyes on him.

The reason why the NCPD officer stopped talking midway was because he felt that this handsome man looked quite familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Stop and wait for a moment."

The NCPD officer came here after receiving a call from people in the surrounding Japanese streets saying that a shooting had occurred. Even though he had already listed the people in front of him as suspects, he did not take any drastic actions. Instead, after signaling them to stop, he began to access the NCPD police station's database and began to compare their faces.

The first person that NCPD carefully observed was Arasakase Nobuyuki, a person he was very familiar with, and after comparison, the results were revealed.

'No registration.'

A stowaway or a wanderer?
The NCPD officer wasn't sure, but since one person's face was not registered, that made sense.

No matter which law Night City passed, it is illegal to fail to register at the border, and those who violate the law
"Your identity has not been registered. Please come with me."

The NCPD officer released the safety of his weapon and pressed the squad button on his body to request support. His actions were very clear. If Carl and the others didn't want to suffer, they'd better obey.

“No registration”

Listening to the words of the NCPD personnel, Arasakaze Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

In order to hide himself, he chose to use a face from his youth, which was many years ago and naturally could not be registered. In other words, he is now a homeless person without an identity card.
"What about us?"

Oliver pointed at himself curiously and said, "Are we going too?"

Seeing that they were not going to resist, the NCPD softened his attitude. He glanced at Oliver and said, "Although your name is registered as Quinn, right? But since you are walking with undocumented homeless people, you still have to come to the police station."

"Do we all have to go? Fine, we have to go together anyway."

Oliver looked at the police officer, but didn't intend to say anything.

If they revealed their true faces, things here would probably be over soon. But they were now on the street, especially in a busy area like Japan Street. There were a lot of people nearby who noticed that they were found by NCPD officers. If they revealed their true faces at this time, in ten minutes the whole Night City would know that Carl's team appeared on Japan Street and that a lot of Tiger Claw gang members had died.

Although anyone who is interested could roughly guess that it was Carl and his gang who did it if they connected the matter to the attack by 65 former Tiger Claw gang members in the morning, Arasakase Nobuyuki is still with them. It is still a secret to the public that Arasakase Nobuyuki came to Night City and the KK team became his bodyguards. It is somewhat not good to expose it directly.

Well-informed people can know the news, that's because they have the ability to find out, but even a drunk on the street can know what happened, so there's no need to keep the news secret. To understand it from Oliver's perspective, when he annoyed T-BUG, he was embarrassed by T-BUG revealing what color underwear he liked to wear, which he could accept, after all, those who knew were all acquaintances, but if anyone on the street knew what kind of underwear he liked to wear and what type of Mewtwo he liked to watch, even Oliver would feel embarrassed.

In this perhaps unanimous and strange idea, Arasakase Nobuyuki looked at the handcuffs on his hands in confusion, and the few people around him who were both bodyguards and friends did not have the slightest intention of stopping him.

Arasakase Nobuo felt the handcuffs in his hands.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing handcuffs. After all, the laws of Night City were enforced according to the rules, which made him feel differently. He was also willing to obey for the sake of this order he had never felt before, but...
"Why can they not wear handcuffs?"

"I only brought one pair."

"Then wait until the others arrive and give them some too."

"That's not necessary. We have enough personnel. You can return to the police station."

Because of Carl and the others' cooperation, the NCPD officer, who began to think they were not suspicious, gradually became more relaxed: "Cooperate well when the time comes, and you will soon be able to become a citizen of Night City."

"Yes, we are good citizens."

Jack patted Arasakase Nobu's shoulder with a smile and said, "You are enough for those who need to be handcuffed."

None of them showed any dissatisfaction at all about their friends being tortured, and everyone even looked like they were enjoying the show.

"Only when we get to know each other well can we understand your true nature."

Arasakase Nobuyuki looked at the handcuffs in his hands and sighed.

The people on the street are really too friendly, so friendly that they were handcuffed.

The NCPD escort police car arrived soon, and Carl and his companions got on the car one by one in an orderly manner. As they left in the NCPD police car, more than a dozen motorcycles coming towards this place just passed them by.

"NCPD seems to have taken someone away?"

On a motorcycle, a red-haired Tiger Claw gang member frowned as he looked at the police car passing by: "Could the attacker have been caught by the NCPD?"

"Just this gang of NCPD?"

Another Tiger Claw Gang member who was driving a motorcycle beside him slowed down, with a look of disdain on his face:
"They've been acting arrogant recently. They want to arrest people. You'll have to eat my exhaust in your next life. Those people must not have gone far. There's no news of the KK team appearing. They might be Lai Xuan's people. Keep an eye out."

"Don't worry, they can't run away."

The red-haired Tiger Claw member nodded, his artificial eyes flashing with a cold look: "This is the bait we deliberately placed. The rest of us have already surrounded them. The people of Sei Xuan will definitely not be able to leave. This is Japan Street!"

The motorcycle continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the NCPD police car.
