Chapter 1126 - 366: Unlucky! Unlucky! Unlucky! (Part 3)
Through his perspective, V explained in the channel,"This place is for storing alcohol, champagne, whiskey... At Lai Xuan’s level, a bottle costs at least four or five thousand, but you’d better make use of... "
However, to the surprise of the three of them, when they opened the fridge, it wasn’t filled with alcohol... but a biological chip cold storage box.
"Damn... V, what’s going on here?"
Jack was stunned. Wasn’t this supposed to be for alcohol?
"I... I don’t know... This can’t be right. According to Dexter’s schedule, Lai Xuan shouldn’t be in Night City for another three days, unless someone sent the chip ahead of time?"
V stuttered as he spoke, the appearance of the chip was completely unexpected.
V had a vague feeling that if this chip was really that important, Lai Xuan would never let it be far from him.
If it’s here, then Lai Xuan must already be in Night City.
And he’s kept it a secret from many people, including Huang Ban Sanlang.
"Who cares."
Brother Ni wasn’t about to coddle you. He took out the cold storage box, opened it, and pulled out a chip. It looked just like the conventional chips they saw on the market, nothing special about it.
"Are you sure this is the chip we’re looking for?"
"I... I don’t know... Maybe we should just put it back."
A chilling sense of crisis swept over V, making her feel like a butterfly caught in a spider’s web, with the spider lurking in the shadows, waiting.
Despite the new preparations, as she takes a step off the cliff, she still can’t help but hesitate.
"We’re here already, and you want to put it back?"
Brother Ni reinserted the chip into the box and was about to leave.
His intuition told him that this was the mission item they were looking for.
After all, how could it be so coincidental?
There surely wouldn’t be another person here, putting a chip, right?
"Brother Ni!"
At this moment, Pandora’s voice suddenly became urgent in the channel,
"The data code inside Ganbi Mansion isn’t right, someone has already invaded before us. They’re hidden deep, you have to be careful...."
Before she could finish, there was only a burst of static, seemingly cut off by someone.
Meanwhile,
In Stone Ridge Mountain’s underground research facility, Pandora, lying on the hacker’s chair, began to convulse suddenly, the golden code scrolling before her eyes gradually turning red. The surrounding server rooms emitted piercing alarm sounds, with deep red warning windows lighting up on several screens, almost as if they would bleed.
[I know who you are]
[It has nothing to do with you]
"....."
Lucy, standing by Pandora’s side, saw the warning and didn’t care. She casually picked up a piece of chocolate from the table and popped it in her mouth,
Opened the neural port at the back of her head, connected to the hacker chair, and lay down.
Boom!
A torrent of red and white data collided head-on in cyberspace, countless codes shattered. The ripples alone interrupted Night City’s network signal for a few seconds, even the power grid became unstable, causing advertising billboards to flicker red and white, as if they might burn out at any moment.
Some corporate hackers were ordered to investigate, but upon approaching, they were blown away by this apocalyptic wave of data, utterly insignificant even as ants in such a tide, let alone discovering any cause.
On the second floor, V and Jack were already anxious,
"Brother Ni, something’s wrong, the security team in the building is on the move, the elevator isn’t locked, come out quickly!"
Something was amiss, no alarms had been triggered, yet someone had moved.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Furiously pressing the elevator button, Brother Ni now only wanted to confront the planner, loudly questioning why he was always targeted!
Tell me! Why!
tell me! why! baby why!
Is it so hard just to be a silent assassin?
Ding—
The elevator arrived.
Brother Ni saw seven or eight people in suits and sunglasses, wearing earpieces, inside the elevator. He gave them a slight smile without speaking, entered with the box, and pressed the button for the lobby.
The elevator was deathly silent, except for the incessant broadcast of Huang Ban Corporation’s promotional animation on the panel.
"....."
The building was high, but surrounded by people, Brother Ni felt the elevator was moving too slow.
"Before I make a move, does anyone want to get out?"
After saying this, he was met with two stun rods thrust at him from the front. These were lethal weapons to cyborgs, a hit would disable most of his body.
Brother Ni sidestepped, only to be met with a pair of large hands from behind, thick arms tightly wrapping around his neck.
The strength was enough to snap his cybernetic spine, clearly augmented with gorilla arms.
Moreover, three or four people were trying to seize his left hand to snatch the box.
But what they had, Brother Ni also had, only better.
He kicked the left-side assassin’s knee, shattering the joint on the spot, quickly punched another’s head with his right hand, causing it to explode and fly away. Then, leveraging his momentum, he sprang up, delivering a double kick to send the last two assassins flying.
Just before his neck was completely snapped, Brother Ni reached back with his right hand, grabbed the big guy’s face, and tore it off with skin and bone intact.
The moment his neck was freed, he punched away the assassins aiming their stun rods, then ripped off the right-hand prosthetic limb of the guy and used it as a weapon to smash another’s head....
Ding—
The elevator reached the second floor, and the door opened.
Brother Ni tidied up his slightly wrinkled suit, carrying the box out of the elevator, leaving behind the shredded bodies of five or six assassins.
"I’m out, Jack, V, where are you?"
Not far away, Jack and V waved at Brother Ni.
"Over here, they’re coming, hurry!"
As if poking a hornet’s nest, the entire security force of Ganbi Mansion had been mobilized. Distraught tourists were being evacuated to the evac routes, nearly filling the lobby inside and out with people in black suits.
Sitting in the Horizon Corporation building, Lin Miao watched the deep red figure appear on the screen in front of him.
"Tsk... it turns out to be you, no, I should’ve known it was you,
Ote, Cunningham."
