From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

"Oh, not so good. Free things are the most expensive." Regina stretched out her hand to fix her hair. "Just tell me, what do you want?"

"I want to study the data. You know, the complete medical data for treating these cyber lunatics. In return, I can invest and work with you on a project to cure cyber psychosis."

"You...are interested in this too?"

"Of course, I have installed a lot of prosthetics myself, and so have my family and friends. Cyberpsychosis is a real threat to me, and I must prepare for it in advance."

Regina carefully observed his expression and, based on her years of experience as an independent journalist, concluded that what he said was true.

But... this is interesting. Everyone says that L has a close relationship with Kang Tao. Does this mean that - finally a big company is going to take the issue of cyberpsychosis seriously?

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, it is hard to say for now.

After thinking for a moment, she gave her answer: "Okay, the more partners willing to devote themselves to charity, the better. But I can't guarantee that I will be able to produce results. After all, the people I can find are also unsophisticated and cannot compare to researchers from large companies."

Leo didn't care about it. It was just an idle move. "Then it's settled. You use this No. 1 guinea pig as an experiment first. We can talk about investment when things are on track. Now, I'll send him to the entrance of the Riot Nightclub in Watson District. You can send someone to pick him up."

"No problem. By the way, I'm a clinical trial participant, not a guinea pig. I still have some bottom line."

Regina raised her hand to bid him farewell and hung up the phone.

Leo tilted his head slightly and looked at V in the rearview mirror: "It's done, let's send the person to Regina. She is preparing a medical project to treat cyberpsychosis."

V couldn't help but be a little surprised. Treating cyberpsychosis is a hard job that big companies are too lazy to do. It is time-consuming and laborious and doesn't make any money.

【Curing Cyberpsychosis, One Bullet at a Time!】

This is the most effective treatment for this disease recognized in Night City.

"I've always had a good impression of Regina, but I didn't expect she's such a great saint."

"She used to be an independent reporter for FTF Radio. Many people say she is a fighter for justice. Among the middlemen, she is considered to have the highest moral standards."

Leo raised the corner of his mouth, and while chatting with V, he drove the car to turn right, took the cross-sea bridge leading to Taipingzhou, and turned onto the elevated road.

We drove back to the Highwood area along the elevated road. At the junction of the Valley area and the Meiquan area, there was a very conspicuous skyscraper.

Super skyscraper H2.

From a distance - it is yellow and green in color, square, and has rusty and muddy exterior walls.

If the super skyscraper H8 is a butterfly, then this H2 is at most a green bug, also known as the stink bug, which is so ugly that it is unbearable to look at.

Leo took a quick look and continued driving forward.

The further north the vehicle goes, the more sleek and beautiful the buildings on both sides of the road become.

Passing through the Meiquan area and entering the municipal center, an invisible boundary seems to separate the two worlds.

You were in a small third or fourth tier city one second ago, and in a prosperous and beautiful international metropolis the next.

When we crossed the sea-crossing bridge and entered Watson District, everything changed again.

No, it should be said that it is a step backwards. This place is more run-down and messy than Haywood. As soon as I got off the main road, I saw a fight between NCPD and gang members on the roadside.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Watson District, if you drive properly on the road, you may be hit by two stray bullets at any time.

V took a quick look at the crazy woman and confirmed that she was still in a deep coma. He moved to the window, lowered it a little, and looked out.

Soon, she uttered a surprised sound: "Hey, it seems that the person in charge over there is Inspector Stings~"

"Shouldn't he be promoted? Why is he still fighting gang members on the streets?" Leo stepped on the brakes and stopped at the corner of the street, keeping a distance of more than 100 meters from the battlefield.

V observed carefully and said thoughtfully, "He should have been promoted. You see, he was riding in an Emperor 720 armored vehicle, not an ordinary patrolman's Hera Enforcer. He should have brought people to support him."

Leo turned on the six-fold optical zoom and saw that two NCPD patrol officers had fallen behind a roadside shelter. It looked like the police were in a bad situation.

Looking across, there was a small group of Tiger Claw Gang members. They had a very strong Japanese style and were easy to identify.

There were about seven or eight gang members in the group, and the leader was a muscular man holding a samurai sword.

He was wearing... no, he was wearing a loincloth, with large red marks on his body that were tattoos, and a simple bowl-roll made of white cloth tied on his head.

The Japanese smell is almost overflowing.

With the fully bulletproof Thracian 388 and the invincible V Zhentian by his side, Leo activated the innate skills of the people - watching from the front row.

However, less than a minute later, he realized that the situation was not favorable for the NCPD.

The burly man in the loincloth leading the group had installed a lot of combat implants. Just the ones that the scanner could reveal included built-in stimulants, tactical prosthetic eyes, bionic joints, subcutaneous armor, reinforced prosthetic limbs, reinforced tendons, and Krenzikov.

Even if most of them are cheap goods, their combat effectiveness is enough to give ordinary police officers a headache.

While he was observing, the sturdy man found an opportunity to slash an ordinary patrolman with two knives, forcing the police to retreat to the side of the police car for defense.

"These guys are just ordinary patrol officers. If the reinforcements don't come, they'll just have to get in their cars and run away."

V made this judgment based on his years of experience on the streets.

Then she leaned over and picked up the black gun bag at her feet.

"Luckily I always carry a gun with me when I go out, otherwise I would have missed the chance to 'sharpen' Achilles!"

Leo's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He quickly stopped the car and turned off the engine. He turned to look at her and said, "What are you going to do now? Are you really going to kill people wherever you go?"

Showing off one's edge: Chapter 173 NCPD Rules: If you can't control something, just pretend nothing happened!

The King of Hell in Night City grinned:

"Isn't Stings the 'seed player' you chose? Besides, I have a personal vendetta against the Tiger Claw Gang, so I'll take this opportunity to avenge it!"

"Does the Tiger Claw Gang dare to have a personal vendetta against you?"

Leo changed to a respectful title, and Wakako Okada, who didn't know V yet, shed tears of sadness in her heart.

The Tiger Claw Gang is lucky to be remembered by V Zhentian, who never waits for revenge.

V lowered his head to admire the brand new Achilles Technologies precision rifle for a while, then lowered the car window completely and found the right aiming angle.

"When I was a street stalker, I had a lot of dealings with gang members. Of all the gangs, the Tiger Claws were the most domineering. They not only caused trouble for me, but also wanted to collect protection money from me. I had a few fights with them. I didn't suffer any loss, but I didn't get any advantage either. This time I finally have a chance to take revenge!

Don't worry, I will kill the leader. Once he is dead, those minions will definitely not be a match for the NCPD, and the police will be held responsible for this in the end."

Leo couldn't help but look sideways.

He got his revenge without having to take the blame, and V's street smarts can sometimes be reliable.

The technical precision rifle begins to charge.

The buzzing sound inside the barrel quickly intensified, and a faint blue light extended from the muzzle like the fingers of death.

V put the body of the Tiger Claw leader into the scope and activated Krenzikov at the same time.

Time slows down.

The man's every move was slowed down countless times, and he slowly waved the knife at the NCPD to demonstrate.

His mouth was wide open, opening and closing very slowly, as if he was swearing in Japanese dialect.

V's attention was drawn to his metal jaw, and he decided to attack from its strongest and weakest point.

"How do you say 'goodbye' in Japanese?"

She talked to herself, leisurely and at ease,

"It seems like - where is it?"

In the lower right corner of the retina, the charging progress bar is full.

Her fingers clasped lightly.

boom--

The steel caseless bullet was ejected from the muzzle, dragging a trail of dark blue particles, and shot towards the enemy a hundred meters away.

At this distance, the bullet is traveling much faster than sound.

When the loud gunshot reached his ears, Leo saw that the bullet was approaching the face of the burly man from the Tiger Claw Gang.

Krenzikov had greatly enhanced his reflexes, allowing him to concentrate and see the drastic changes in the unfortunate fellow's expression.

Yes, that was a complete unlucky guy.

He also installed the Krenzikov implant. The surge of adrenaline during the battle further enhanced the effect of the implant. The reaction speed that he used to be proud of turned into a nightmare now - he clearly saw the bullet flying towards his mouth, but his body could not keep up.

Not to mention dodging, he didn't even have time to close his wide-open mouth as the fully charged bullet accurately avoided the metal jaws on the upper and lower sides and went into his throat.

When the fragile internal tissues of the human body collide with the high-speed rotating bullet, the outcome is obvious.

The gunshots came late.

The sturdy man's head was torn into pieces, and the white brain and blood splattered all over the heads and faces of the younger brothers beside him.

The battlefield, which was originally filled with shouting and fighting, suddenly became quiet.

Both sides were so shocked that there was a brief ceasefire of more than ten seconds.

Many policemen turned their heads to look in the direction of the gunshots, while the gang members stared blankly at the leader who was lying on the ground and twitching.

Finally, Stings reacted first and shouted on the police channel: "Reinforcements have arrived! Fight back with all your strength!"

The morale of the police was boosted, and they knocked down several stunned gang members with a single round of gunfire.

After the death of their boss, the gang members also lost their will to fight. They fought and retreated, drove the police back with random gunfire, and rode on motorcycles to escape.

V was speechless for a moment: "These useless cops, don't let them get away, don't let them bring disaster upon us in the end."

Leo looked back at her and always felt that she was the "trouble" of the Tiger Claw Gang.

Pure White, who had been on the team's internal communication channel, suddenly spoke up: "It's not easy to keep them here, just watch me!"

【Vehicle Control Puppet·Emergency Lock】

start up!

The engines of several motorcycles suddenly stalled, making a "dry cough" like that of an elderly person.

The Tiger Claw Gang's minions were dumbfounded, and began to madly slap their beloved cars, which they loved so much that they wanted to clean them three times a day.

But the NCPD officers are not stupid.

Night City Police Qualification Exam Questions:

What should you do when the enemy is out of bullets, distracted, and in an open area without cover?

The answer that is given only 60 points in the exam but full marks in practical application is:

Empty the magazine! Get a promotion and a raise! Administrative leave! Yay!

Bang bang bang bang bang——

Pistol, submachine gun, shotgun...it doesn't matter what kind of gun it is, just pull the trigger until the bullets are exhausted!

If those motorcycles had not been taken back as trophies and could have been used as bonuses, some people would have even wanted to throw out the grenades.

The execution lasted for more than a minute, and half a pound of bullets could be found on the body of each Tiger Claw Gang member who was killed.

The NCPD police officers were very proud of themselves and began to cheer loudly.

Afterwards, several policemen began to rescue their fallen colleague. Stins, who was in charge of the on-site command, walked towards Thrace 388 with several loyal subordinates who had been with him for a long time.

Both publicly and privately, they should thank the good citizens who have helped them.

As the distance got closer, Stins saw that the Thracian bulletproof vehicle, which was already famous for its amazing defensive capabilities, had an additional layer of bulletproof armor on the outside, making it a true steel fortress.

Anyone who can ride in this kind of car doesn't look like an ordinary NCPD outsourced worker.

As he approached, the one-way front window quickly lowered, revealing a handsome face that surprised him.

"Hey, we meet again, Inspector Stings. You are really hardworking. I can run into you every time I come to Watson District~"

Leo raised a hand and greeted him in a friendly manner.

Faced with such a friendly person, Stings' pupils contracted and his steps froze in place: This voice... is so familiar. Although they only spoke once, he will never forget this voice in his life.

"You are...L?"

"Yes, have you forgotten? We met at the entrance of Little Chinatown. I was driving another car at that time."

Stings was struck by lightning.

No wonder he always felt that L's voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. He didn't expect that the two had actually met in real life.

"Sir?"

The concerned voice of his subordinate brought Stings back to his senses. He knew that now was not the time to worry about L's true identity.
