Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 576 189. Not done cleanly
"It seems to be a little more gloomy in here than outside."

Under the gaze of the Voodoo Gang Splitters, Carl and Reed walked step by step towards the interior of the abandoned spa. Carl said:

"To be honest, I don't understand this architectural style. Afterlife was a morgue, so it's a little eerie. But why is this spa so creepy? Will there be any mental problems if you stay in this place for a long time?"

"The style of a spa is to always want guests to enjoy tranquility. If this place was built according to the plan and fully lit, it might not look like this."

"It can't turn into the Water Curtain Cave and the Flower-Fruit Mountain."

Carl said something that Reed did not understand. Even for this ace agent, the place names in the long novel of gods and demons in the Eastern cultural circle seemed too unfamiliar. Therefore, he chose to remain silent and did not respond to this sentence.

After spending some time with Carl, Reed learned what Kenichi Shiro taught to Kenichi Kazuya, something he understood only after experiencing it many times himself - if Carl says or does something that he doesn't understand, just ignore it.

Carl just complained a few words out of boredom and didn't expect Reed to reply. He glanced around and turned to look at his own camera. He could feel that behind these cameras, someone was watching him and Reed.

'Sliders'?

As they walked deeper, a closed rolling door appeared in front of Carl and Reed. Next to the rolling door, a camera was emitting red light and staring at them.

"It seems that my people don't even dare to stop you."

When Carl and Li De approached the rolling door, a slightly impure voice came from inside the rolling door, probably coming from some transmission equipment with poor communication: "But KK is coming to visit, let alone them, even if I saw him, I might not have the courage to stop him."

Listening to the male voice with some electromagnetic current, Li De looked at the camera looking at him: "Slide, open the door. Since you already know I'm here, then you should also know that we are here for something."

"Li De. Damn, if I say I miss you, that's a lie. The IAAF came to my house, which is not a good thing. And they came with KK. It seems that I have no right to refuse."

Amidst a sound that was hard to tell whether it was a sigh or a helpless one, the shutter door was opened, revealing a space with various equipment inside. At the same time, a voice that was clearer than the transmission equipment came out: "Come in, I'm inside."

Now that I'm invited, I naturally have to go in and take a look.

Carl took the lead and walked forward. After walking about ten steps, his eyes caught the figure of the slider.

The hacker, who was praised by Li De as the most capable hacker in Dog Town, was now lying on a specially made hacker chair. His body was closely connected to the densely packed equipment around him, and his eyes were pale and unfocused, undoubtedly indicating his identity as a blind man.

Sensing the arrival of Carl and Reed following closely behind him, the middle-aged black man whose real name was Wilkie Laguerre turned his head:
"The famous KK is here. I'm sorry I can't stand up to greet him. Thank you for not killing my people like you did to Maman Bridget. I still have some people left to take care of a blind man like me."

"I'm not a demon after all."

Carl knew that the slider could see him through the data-connected camera, so he turned his head and looked at the camera in the room: "Under normal circumstances, in addition to the mission and the scavenger, I am too lazy to do it unless others provoke me. Your subordinates should be grateful that only one fool wants to test me."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if he learns a lesson for being blind. He is still alive and can brag about it for a long time. No matter what, he has saved his life at the hands of KK."

Slide's attitude towards KK was very friendly, or he had to be friendly. Everyone in the city knew that there were two killers in the KK team, one with a better temper, who would kill people when he was unhappy, and the other with a worse temper, who would be unhappy if he didn't kill anyone. Today, he met a killer with a better temper, who didn't kill him directly, but put a knife on his neck and forced him to work. He really had to be grateful.

After chatting with Carl for a few words, Slide turned his head to Li De even though he couldn't see, but the attitude he showed to Li De was not as friendly as that towards Carl.

Although it probably wouldn't take much effort for the United Intelligence Bureau behind Li De to kill him, he was very clear about the nature of the United Intelligence Bureau. While a person is still useful, they will not do it without squeezing out all the value from him. And since Li De came to his house, it was obvious that he was still useful, so it was okay for them to be casual in their attitude.

"Tell me, Li De, why are you here this time? Are you going to make me a blank check and then shoot me in the head when I'm no longer useful to you? If you plan to do what you always do, then you can start the cleanup now."

"Whatever you say, instead of talking nonsense, why don't you listen to what we want you to do."

"I know several big agents who can help you, but I don't think I need to say much about their results."

Slide said, and glanced at Carl:
"But with KK here this time, maybe it's reliable. You guys shouldn't be so crazy and still plan to attack KK. Now everyone in the city doesn't know the abilities and connections of KK and his team. If you New America don't want them, Militech, Arasaka, and Kantō are all waiting for them to come to you. Well, with KK here, maybe we can talk about this."

Slide said, without waiting for Li De to reply, the hacker chair under him moved and turned in a different direction:
"Tell me what you want me to do. What the CIA has to do is not an easy task. I'm ready. Are you going to hack into the database of the Terrorist Squad or attack a large company? I remember that the president behind your CIA has been unhappy with military technology recently. Are you going to ask me to attack military technology?"

“It’s not a dog-eat-dog situation this time.”

Carl signaled Li De to take out something, stopped Slide's guess and said, "We have a chip, a small thing we got from the Nether Dogs. We want you to help us send the information inside out of Dog Town and transmit it to the receiving personnel in the city. We need to do it without leaving any traces and without being found by the Nether Dogs."

"So this is what the little thing the Nether Hound brought. I was wondering why those puppies in Dog Town suddenly ran around and rummaged through garbage dumps like crazy. It seems that KK helped the United Intelligence Bureau do something big."

Slide thought for a moment and said, "This is not difficult, but I need a connection port, and..."

Halfway through his words, a sudden alarm buzzed around him.

"what happens?!"

Li De pulled out his gun immediately, and then he saw Slide's expression.

The expression on that brown and black face was extremely ugly.

"Some bastards are following us."

Slide frowned and said, "You didn't do it cleanly this time."

Outside the spa, Slide's men had already started a fight with the Hellhound that had suddenly come for an inspection.

These Voodoo Gang splinter members didn't have the courage to fight KK, but they were very brave when fighting these local bastards in Dog Town.
