Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 568 181. Approaching Hansen's Identity

It is not easy to get close to Hansen.

He is a cautious and vigilant person. Even people who already know his identity will have to test him again and again. To get close to him and take away his personal dog tag is as difficult as dancing on the edge of a knife.

"There are two ways to sneak in. One is to avoid everyone and the surveillance cameras, calmly approach Kurt Hansen, and slowly take away his dog tags. The other is to approach Kurt Hansen in a disguise that will not arouse suspicion, and then take the dog tags from his neck when he is not paying attention. Of these two ways, I personally prefer the second one."

Carl is in the basement of the Hawk Moth Bar, in the former secret hideout of the CIA, and is working on a detailed plan with Reed.

Deciding on a plan of action is not difficult.

There was no support from New America for this operation, only the two of them. Although they were short in manpower, they were extremely efficient in discussions - as long as one of them nodded, the matter was settled.

"Just as you said, disguising your identity is indeed easier than hiding your tracks and sneaking in."

Reed nodded, approving Carl's plan to disguise himself and sneak in.

This was not his usual method, but after obtaining the latest appearance conversion chip developed by military technology, the success rate of this plan increased significantly and it has become the first choice.

"The infiltration plan has been finalized. So, what identities should we use?" Carl asked. "Not many identities can get close to Hansen. Even if we just pass by, we may be stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes of the Nether Dogs. Dog Town is not my territory. I don't know what identity can get close to Hansen. I have to rely on you in this regard."

"."

After Carl finished speaking, he was met with silence.

Li De's silence.

This made Carl's eyelids twitch, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Li De, your silence is not telling me that you don't have the status to approach Hansen, right?"

Li De did not directly answer Carl's question, but said rather tactfully: "I barely survived at the beginning. I have been carrying out undercover missions all these years. Except for necessary moments, I have almost relied on myself to gain a foothold in Night City again."

In other words, most of his previous missions were conducted alone, with very little help from the New America.

Under such circumstances, it was already difficult for him to maintain contact and collect intelligence, so naturally he had no energy to expand his network.

It turns out you're not familiar with it either. I was wondering why a city guy like me said whatever he wanted, but you, an ace agent, didn't raise any opinions at all. At the beginning, I thought you were sure that everything could be predicted and controlled. Now it turns out that everything is really handled by just the two of us.

No, Ms. Rosalind Miles, you really believe in my and Reed's abilities. You said you believed in the message you sent, and you really believed in it.

Carl has a headache.

Although he was sure that politicians like Rosalind Miles must have alternative plans and programs, he was also sure that the reason those things were alternatives was because the highest success rate of the plan really lay with him and Reed.

Is this some kind of dream movie? An ace agent and a hired mercenary go to a warlord's territory to get important documents that endanger the president, and there are only two of them in the whole process.

A super agent blockbuster, right?

Carl thought of Rosalind Miles' contact information.

"It seems that the people in Washington are keeping a close eye on Rosalind Miles. This president is really not very popular. This is the nth time that the opposition has come to resist."

However, when Carl thought about the old American two-party system, they set traps for each other, watched the other side suffer and were happy, not only did they not help, but they also took the opportunity to push the leader, and he felt that this was very American. The use of radical means would naturally be opposed by conservatives, and coupled with party struggles
I don’t know when an assassination attempt on King Qin will happen. Judging from the current situation, it probably won’t be long.

However, Karl thought about this matter concerning the President and didn't care about it anymore.

He has a lot of headaches now.

“Identity, identity”

For a moment, Carl really couldn't think of any identity that could be used to get close to Kurt Hansen.

Even though Kurt Hansen is just the king of Dog Town, the arms trade and the army he is involved in are not much inferior to those of some military companies. In addition, due to his special location, even big companies like Arasaka and Military Technology have to consider the attitudes of other companies if they want to make a move on him. The people who can sit down and talk with him on an equal footing must at least be at the level of the Night City Council.

City Council.
I can't just send a message to Hansen, saying that I am Lucius Lane, the former mayor of Night City who has come back from the dead or is not dead, and that there is a big plan that requires cooperation with Hansen, and the two of them need to meet.

Karl thought about it, and finally made a phone call.

If I need to find someone to talk to about Dog Town, I have to find Mr. Hands.

"Oh, look, my favorite mercenary is calling."

When the call was connected, Mr. Hands' iconic voice rang in Carl's ears.

"I have something to ask you, Mr. Hands."

"Yes, of course I have something. After all, if there is no difficult problem that requires my help, you would not think of calling me, right? Only when I am needed will I be dug out from your long contact list. Tell me, what is the trouble this time?"

The two parties have been cooperating for a long time, and Mr. Hands knows Carl well, so he doesn't mind helping KK.

Almost every action of KK can bring him considerable benefits, especially the recent action in the Taiping State Voodoo Gang territory, which has opened up a channel for Mr. Hands to cooperate with NCPD.

There are not many mercenaries like KK who are both capable and profitable, so the cooperative relationship in this regard cannot be weakened.

Facing Mr. Hands' teasing words, Karl didn't want to exchange pleasantries. He directly stated his request:
"I want you to help me get an identity, one that can be used to attend the banquets often held by Kurt Hansen with other guests, but will not attract too much attention from him, and one that cannot be found out for the time being."

"You can attend Kurt Hansen's banquet. Your identity cannot be found out in a short time."

Mr. Hands repeated Carl's request, thought for a moment, and then asked a question: "Will Kurt Hansen die?"

"will not."

"Then you have to wait a little. Give me a day and I will give it to you at this time tomorrow."

Mr. Hands did not ask Carl what they were going to do. He just wanted to know whether the most important thing, Kurt Hansen, was dead or not.

after all
If I knew too much about what the mercenary KK was going to do, I might end up losing my life.

Mr. Hands may have some information.

For example, there was a rumor about the Blue Green Building that day.
It is said that it was Carl who killed Saburo Arasaka.
