Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 599 13. Eliminate the Threat
Ok.

After listening to the conversation on the communication channel that other people dared not speak out, Carl briefly summarized the information he had just obtained.

To put it simply, Hanako's bodyguard, Oda Santai, questioned the security, and was so angry that he retorted back at Adam's heavy hammer.

Santayu, Carl remembered that there was a ninja from Iga during the Warring States Period in Japan with the same name, and that ninja was called Momochi Santayu. It seems that this name Oda was taken from that Warring States Jonin.

Judging from the conversation, he and Chiyo were from the same training camp, and he seems to be Chiyo's senior with excellent grades.
So judging from the fact that Adam Chongchu compared him with Goro Takemura, himself, and Chiyome, is he the most difficult personal bodyguard of Hanako Arasaka?

Adam Heavy Hammer rarely talks to people who are not strong enough. For him, who is brutal, talking nonsense to the weak is just a waste of time. Only those with certain abilities can make him talk a few more words, whether it is ridicule or provocation.
It's ironic that I have slightly confirmed the ability of this Oda Santai through the words of Adam's Hammer.

Karl’s finger tapped lightly on the phone screen.

He had thought that there might be a capable guard beside Arasaka Hanako, and had made certain preparations for this. However, if the guard's ability was comparable to Chiyome's, then the original plan to let Johnny Silverhand deal with everything outside and then go into the float to get things would have to be cancelled.

If Oda Santao is really as worried about security as he says, then his trust in Arasaka must have dropped to freezing point. And for a person with outstanding strength, what will he do if he doesn't trust others?
The answer is obvious: do it yourself.

If you can't get help, you can investigate and solve all threats by yourself - this is the way of thinking of a qualified loyal dog. After all, it is always safer to do things by yourself.

Carl's eyes fell on the surveillance screen he was watching, and in the pictures displayed one by one, Carl did not find any particularly noteworthy figures, but Carl never relaxed at all. He looked at the screen over and over again until five seconds later.

It was just a slight difference in color, just a hint of hope, like a flash of distortion in the light, which instantly attracted Carl's attention and focused his gaze on the screen of one of the surveillance cameras.

'found it. ’

Optical camouflage? It's really the same approach as Chiyo, so can we infer that there is also a mantis knife?
Carl quickly confirmed the location of the surveillance camera, estimated the distance, and realized that things were moving in the direction he expected.

Johnny Silverhand is in danger.

If someone tried to hack into the float and didn't want to set off the alarm, who would be the first target?

hacker.

As long as hackers exist, the safety of the floats is guaranteed.

As long as there is no alarm, Oda can check at his own pace, so the first thing he has to ensure is the safety of the hacker - and this coincides with Carl's idea of ​​getting rid of the hacker.

Johnny Silverhand was about to reach the hacker's location, and based on the distortion just now, the distance between Oda Santafu and Johnny Silverhand was less than 100 meters. Carl stood up and moved quickly.

Carl had already made his judgment on Johnny Silverhand's ability after watching the surveillance for a few minutes. He did have a good grasp of that body and already possessed the ability of Qiuqiu in the past, which was the ability to eliminate a team of corporate action forces. However, a team of corporate action forces was nothing in front of a master like Oda Santao.

Give Oda Santaifu a moment and he will be able to solve it, so the conversion is.
In front of Oda Santao, Johnny Silverhand couldn't last a moment.

Carl started running, and while he was running he glanced at the locations shared by other team members in the team channel. After confirming that he was the closest to Johnny Silverhand, he reminded Johnny Silverhand:

"Run, Johnny, stop the action, leave your position immediately, someone is heading towards you!"

"run?"

Johnny Silverhand, who had just used his short legs to get to the hacker and was about to cut off the connection with the hacker, saw the flower before he could react to Carl's words.

Through the long-broken, empty window, his gaze penetrated the chaos outside and fell on the petals falling all over the sky.

In the midst of the flying rain of flowers, two dark red lights suddenly lit up. The light that was supposed to shine straight in was being distorted, and on the window extension, something thicker than the light was condensing into shape.

It was a black armor flowing with the luster of death. Then, a ghost-faced helmet with the Arasaka logo emerged from the shadows. A person appeared from the distorted light and appeared out of thin air in front of Johnny Silverhand's somewhat dazed gaze.

On the arms of the black-armored figure, the glowing red thermal mantis knives were emitting heat, and the orange-red light dancing on the blades was so dazzling that Johnny Silverhand couldn't take his eyes off it until the pair of eyes under the ghost mask stared at him.

"A dog? How could it be a dog?" A moment of doubt flashed through Oda Santai's mind, however, this brief hesitation did not affect his actions. No matter what was in front of him, as long as it approached the hacker, it must be eliminated. He raised the thermal mantis knife without hesitation, and the red light on the blade drew a deadly arc in the air.

Johnny Silverhand was not a battle-hardened warrior, otherwise his momentary distraction would have been enough to cut him into pieces. Fortunately, his mechanical body saved his life again.

Just as Oda's blade was about to fall, Johnny reacted suddenly and controlled his body to dodge to the side. The instinctive evasive action allowed him to avoid the fatal blow at the critical moment.

The thermal mantis knife easily cut through the concrete floor where Johnny was originally standing, leaving deep grooves on the ground. Oda Santao noticed Johnny's silver hand's evasion and his eyes sank slightly.

"So this is what a bionic dog is like." Oda muttered to himself, his scarlet prosthetic eyes flashing a cold light. He adjusted his posture and raised the thermal mantis knife again.

Just now I just treated it as an ordinary dog. I was not so precise in my attack because of doubts in my mind, but there won't be a next time.

Threat, start eliminating it now!
