Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 66 44. Small Reminder

Arasaka Academy, located in the city center, is not far from Arasaka Tower. When Carl saw Arasaka Tower, he had also arrived at Arasaka Academy.

After accepting the taxi driver's call and saying that he would contact him next time if he needed anything, Carl stood in front of Arasaka Academy.

The school in 2075, just looking inside from the gate, doesn't look any different.

They were still gathering in groups of three or four, still making a lot of noise, chasing each other around, and it made people feel dazed when watching them.

It seems that no matter how time changes, the students in the school will always be the same.

"However, even if the students of Arasaka Academy still maintain their innocence now, once they enter Arasaka Corporation, they will gradually lose everything that made them happy in the past."

A company is a place that alienates people.

Looking at the group of students, Carl recalled his past, but his behavior of standing at the door and looking around was too suspicious. Soon, the security of Arasaka Academy walked towards him.

This person, who is not wearing a school uniform and does not look like a student, has now been listed as a suspicious person.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Do you know where this place is? This is not a place for street thugs like you to come!"

After hearing the scolding, Carl looked in the direction where the voice came from and found three people wearing Arasaka security uniforms and holding guns approaching him.

Carl's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was dazzled by the artificial eyes that kept flashing in their eyes.

"I know where this is."

Carl didn't make any move and allowed the three Arasaka security guards to approach him.

"If you know where it is, get out of here!"

An Arasaka security guard had a look of vigilance on his face. He didn't understand why Carl could be so calm when facing them wearing Arasaka uniforms, but the confidence and sense of security that the clothes gave him made him continue to look scolding and arrogant.

"The place where I am standing now is not in the school."

Out of politeness, Carl explained to the Arasaka security guards who might not understand the laws of Night City: "According to Night City regulations, where I am standing should be a public area."

“Common areas.”

Seeing Carl talking about Night City regulations in a serious tone, an Arasaka security guard sneered, "Who cares about that?"

It seems that wearing the skin of Arasaka makes him feel very proud to do things, and he can even ignore the laws.

He sighed. Although their words were not very pleasant, Karl was always willing to find problems in himself. To be fair, if he was a school security guard, he would also be alert and want to drive the person away when he saw someone who was obviously not a student at the door looking into the school. Since the idea of ​​exchanging ideas was understandable, there was no need for a conflict.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Carl said as he walked to the back, but the three Arasaka security guards did not try to stop him. They really just wanted to drive away the suspicious Carl. Although their words were a bit harsh, they did not really want Carl to humiliate themselves and "get out". They were not blind, and Carl had a gun on his waist. If things really got out of hand, they would not be killed, but even if they were injured, it would be a big loss.

"correct."

However, halfway through his walk, Carl seemed to remember something and gave a warm reminder: "In the future, you'd better not approach the mercenaries at this distance." As he spoke, Carl's fingers moved slightly while Arasaka security was confused.

"Otherwise it will be very dangerous."

smile.

"call out."

The imperceptible sound passed through the air, went away into the distance, and turned into silence.

When the three Arasaka security guards came to their senses, they all had a tiny scratch on their necks that only broke the skin.

The Arasaka security personnel felt a chill on their necks, and then a slight pain and warmth, and understood what happened at that moment. Their pupils shrank, and their hearts began to beat wildly as if they were celebrating surviving a disaster. They felt the brush of the Grim Reaper's scythe without them even noticing.

'If this guy wants to, I'm already dead!'

As this thought popped up in their minds, one hundred euros were deposited into the accounts of the three people.

"Let's go have a drink after get off work. Consider it my treat."

Carl waved his hand with his back to the three people, his tone calm, just like what happened just now was a shocking moment for the Arasaka security personnel, but for him, it was really just a kind reminder.

The three Arasaka security guards were so stunned that they covered their necks with their hands, which actually didn't need to be covered and the bleeding was almost stopped. They looked at Carl's back and were unable to utter a word.

That moment had already left a deep mark on their bodies.

The mark was reminding them that as long as Carl wanted, they would not have the slightest chance of survival even if Carl was facing away from them.

A minute later, an Arasaka security guard who had covered his neck, which had already stopped bleeding, came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He stretched out his hand with a little blood on the palm, pointed directly at Carl's almost disappearing back, and said in disbelief: "That guy, I remember him, I know him, I know who he is!"

"I already know who that guy is without you telling me."

Another Arasaka security guard was just beginning to breathe heavily. The moment of life and death almost suffocated him. His terrified face covered with sweat no longer showed his previous arrogance.

"It's actually that lunatic. Damn it! I didn't recognize him until now. The higher-ups had clearly sent out a notice ordering us not to mess with him if we meet him. Damn it! Did I just come face to face with a monster that can fight ACPA?"

The last Arasaka security guard's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground uncontrollably. He was the one who had spoken the most arrogantly and the one who had the most unfriendly tone towards Carl just now, so at that moment, he received a little more care from Carl than his two colleagues beside him.

Feeling the bald spot on the side of his head, the Arasaka security officer felt like crying but had no tears.

He didn't have much hair to begin with, and under his hat there was a bald spot. Now even the 'shore' next to it was missing. How could it be easy for him!

These are all his natural hair and he has never had any hair transplants!
Behind the three Arasaka security guards, a young man wearing Arasaka Academy uniform and with a punk hairstyle walked out.

The punk-haired teenager looked at the security guards who were behaving strangely in confusion, then followed their gaze and looked into the distance.

And in the distance, he saw nothing.
