Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 569 182. Agent Skills

"This is my second time here, and I have to say it feels completely different from the last time."

At the entrance of the Baoshiqing Building, Karl looked up at the building he had entered once before, and said to Li De beside him: "We are just treated as ordinary guests this time. The last time they noticed us and waited us out, I was a little nervous."

Listening to Carl's casual chat, Li De looked at the bustling building and agreed with Carl's feeling.

The Hellhound soldiers at the door had probably received too many foreign guests before. So, as for guests who had not been specifically told to pay close attention, their attitude, although not casual, was quite normal. They would just glance over casually and then move on.

Kurt Hansen's parties are not frequent, but they are by no means rare. They are held once or twice a month, providing an opportunity for arms dealers or businessmen from all over the world to exchange feelings.

However, these banquets are more of a platform provided by Kurt Hansen for global partners or potential partners to discuss matters.

Although Kurt Hansen would be present, he seldom personally participated in business negotiations with guests. Only when truly important figures showed up, such as the military technology that Carl had brought with him and the senior personnel of Arasaka, would Kurt Hansen personally come out to receive them.

The opportunity for such a gathering of heavyweights does not come often, or even if such people are present, their purpose of coming is not to discuss business with Kurt Hansen.

For example, the person Carl saw after entering the banquet hall was Wilton Holt, the deputy mayor of Night City and one of the two most competitive candidates for the position of mayor of Night City. His arrival was obviously not to discuss with Kurt Hansen, the Dogtown warlord, how to transport weapons into Night City.

Instead, he ignored Kurt Hansen and treated the party purely as a networking occasion, moving among the various city council members and trying to win their support.

Carl looked around and noticed another person besides Wilton Holt, who was the current director of NCPD.

The director, who had in fact been half-marginalized, was sitting on a chair on the second floor overlooking the entire banquet hall on the first floor, staring at the people in the banquet hall below, as if he was looking for something.

Coincidentally, when Carl looked at him, the director had already found the person he was looking for.

One person looked up, the other lowered his head, and the two people reached confirmation as they looked at each other.

Carl followed the director's line of sight and saw a woman dressed in luxurious attire and looking charming before him.

data shows that.

'Head of the Department of Biotechnology.'

Department head of biotechnology?

Watching the woman walk all the way to the second floor and naturally stick to the NCPD chief, who was smiling, Carl recalled the NCPD database that he often read.

According to records, the current NCPD chief has a wife, who is from Naples, Italy, and is also an employee of a biotechnology company. Did the couple come separately?

strangeness.

What's strange is not that the director of NCPD is a company employee. This kind of thing happens frequently. There are even cases where a couple belongs to two different companies. As long as it's not like Arasaka and Militech, it's actually very common for a couple to be employees of two different companies. What Carl finds strange is that their information should not be a secret, so why did the couple come separately.

However, this was not the main thing that needed attention, so Carl just remembered it briefly and put it aside for the time being. While he was looking at these guests, Li De had already walked into the banquet.

Li De was originally handsome and had a tough look. After he disguised himself as a white man, he looked even more handsome. As he skillfully moved around the banquet and chatted with people, Carl noticed that many women and men had gathered around him and started chatting with him. Using this appearance to collect intelligence, I can't tell, Li De.

Thinking back to Reed's appearance and the feeling he gave people before he was disguised, and then looking at the handsome middle-aged white man walking among the crowd with a smile on his face, Carl had to say that being an agent is not something that ordinary people can do, especially an ace agent.

Even if Carl were asked to learn this skill of disguise, he would never be able to do it.

The contrast is too great. Looking at the current Reed, who would have thought that he was the new CIA agent Reed.

"I really thought he was just a conservative old man."

Ace does have its reasons.

Carl was paying attention to Reed, waiting for him to bring him information, when he noticed a person out of the corner of his eye.

That person was Kurt Hansen, the target of Carl and Reed's mission.

He was currently being guarded by several Hellhound soldiers. He was sitting on a sofa in the corner, talking to the people in front of him who were also dressed as Hellhounds. He glanced at the guests around him from time to time, paying attention to the progress of the banquet.

The place where the Hellhound held the banquet was a casino on weekdays, or even when business was being discussed at the banquet, the casino was still operating. From where Kurt Hansen was sitting, he could see the appearance of the guests at most of the gambling tables, and from his perspective, he could take in everyone's expression.

Carl had heard that one could often see a person's true face at the gambling table. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Kurt Hansen seemed to believe it very much. Even if he didn't chat with the outside guests, his eyes were still on those guests, like a hunter examining his prey.

It seems that it is not easy to approach.
When Karl was thinking about how to get closer, a soft voice sounded beside him with approaching footsteps: "Would you like to come and chat sometime?"

Carl turned his head and saw a young woman wearing a long skirt, with very elegant manners and beautiful appearance.

She had a pair of light blue eyes, and she looked at Carl with a hint of surprise and joy in her artificial eyes, as if she had discovered an unexpected surprise.

Carl did not know the woman.

But the look in her eyes probably showed that she wanted to strike up a conversation with him.

Carl realized something at this time.

Because Reed's disguised face was very handsome, Carl also chose a handsome face based on himself, Old Wei and V. Even in 2077 when appearance can be changed at a certain price, a handsome face is obviously still worthy of attention.

This is different from Carl's face that has been marked with KK, which is handsome but does not cause others to have other thoughts when seeing it. Now, KK's face is still quite attractive in the eyes of many young girls who come with their relatives, boyfriends, or fiancés.

'Old V, you have done me a disservice.'

Noticing more than one pair of gazes, Carl gritted his teeth and decided to learn the intelligence gathering skills of a certain ace agent on the spot.
