Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

Chapter 86 Commission: The nightingale sings at night (fifth update)

"Hahahahaha - what the hell are these guys called Faraday? Are they mentally ill?"

Mann burst into laughter and started taunting.

The three of them were already in a bad mood, and Jack and V even showed fierce looks in their eyes.

V directly spoke sarcastically: "Where did the orangutan come from? What kind of profession are you in?"

Mann stood up immediately. In terms of height, he was indeed much taller than V.

"Mann - I don't need to mess with anyone. I am a ruthless person myself. Let me count. I have killed 17 people. Who are you?"

V showed an interesting expression: "Not bad, what about last week?"

"what?"

It is worth noting that edgewalkers don’t actually have many kill records.

First of all, the kill records here exclude ordinary people who have no fighting ability.

Secondly, Mann's 17 kill records must only include opponents who impressed him - at least one or two moves, right?
However, the 17 people that Mann is proud of are still nothing in front of the trio.

Just rushing to the Arroyo, V and Jack would have killed twenty or thirty Sixth Street Gang members, and there was no need to count the ones injured, there were too many.

Not to mention that just before that, the three of them killed almost two entire company agent teams while crossing the border.

And earlier in Atlanta, two platoons of people were all shot to death by V.

Just because company agents died miserably, it didn't mean they were weak in combat. In fact, any team of company agents could cause a lot of trouble to senior mercenaries.

The difficulty of the above two missions is much higher than that of regular commissions. If you change the team, it will be a dead end.

So even if the standard for killing mercenaries is people with fighting ability, the number of guys killed by the three of them is really countless, and only the cyberpsychotics of James Norris and Steven Nott can be remembered.

But those two people were really killing people, and their opponents were all the same soldiers.

Of course, there is another most important reason why mercenary kill records are not too high: they die quickly.

Accept the mission for the first time, and then start to implant combat prosthetics, earn money, and implant more combat prosthetics.
Either he didn't become strong enough and was killed, or he installed too many implants and became mentally ill and was killed by the Terrorist Mobile Team.

Edgewalkers like Mann, who are barely considered elites, are in a somewhat awkward position - gangsters, one can take on three of them.

But there are some difficulties for people working in companies - people in companies have more professional prosthetics doctors, better supporting prostheses, and the operation efficiency is high and the risks are low.

If the other party deploys two more military drones, things will be in trouble.

Therefore, edge walkers at this stage have to start forming a group - lone wolves have their limits for most people, so famous lone wolves are awe-inspiring.

As for Mann, he is stuck here because he can't go up or down.

Seeing Mann stunned, V immediately waved his hand in disgust--
What the hell are you doing? Sit at the same table with me.

Lille ignored Mann.

Strictly speaking, Mann is not a bad person, and he is also full of brotherly care for the people in the team.

It's a pity that this elder brother also has a past that he doesn't want to look back on. He goes further and further on the road of edgewalker. In the work "Cyberpunk Edgewalker", he became a cyberpsychotic, shooting his lover and beating his own team members. .

Unlike Mann, V not only has a high degree of prostheticization, but also carefully selected the prosthetic body, and did not save any money where money should be spent.

In a real fight, V is far more stable than Mann - in fact, Jack, who is slightly less prosthetic, can suppress Mann.

The large swaths of heavy-duty subcutaneous armor on Jack's body are not something that ordinary people can bear, and neither does Mann.

But Jack, relatively speaking, is a kind person, and he just wants to stop there.

Lear didn't mind this strange conversation environment, but looked at Faraday:

"I have admired my name for a long time, the most famous middleman in Santo Domingo."

This trick was very useful to Faraday. He smiled and said, "Me too, Mr. Mann, the Burger King who defeated the Sixth Street Gang, sit down."

The corner of Leer's mouth trembled uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Faraday didn't say that name this time.

As a result, Mann on the side seemed to be half a beat too slow to react before he responded: "Are you the idiot big shot who is rumored to be buying and selling the Burger King?"

I really don’t blame him for his slow reaction, no one can remember this strange name.

But once he mentioned the matter of beating Arroyo, he immediately remembered it - it was a team with such a strange name.

He even misremembered the name mentioned by Faraday just 30 seconds ago.Faraday immediately said: "It's the Burger King who buys and sells stupid big shots. It's rude to remember someone's name wrongly, Mann."

The whole scene became very strange.

There is quite a sense of absurdity in which gangsters gather together to discuss whether the Ultraman who appears on TV is the original Ultraman, Ultraman Zoffie, or Ultraman Jack.

Lear coughed twice and said:

"Ahem, let's get to the point, Mr. Faraday, are you alive?"

"It's an unfinished job. I want a piece of information on biotechnology, but because someone messed up before, now the investigation has to start from scratch."

Mann felt uncomfortable after hearing this: My man is dead, and you just messed it up with a simple sentence?

Just when Mann was about to get angry, Faraday threw another separation chip onto the table.

"Of course, there is still progress, but actions must be re-planned and targets must be more vigilant."

Leal picked up the separation chip and inserted it into the back of his neck.

This incident involved a falling case a year ago. The name of the deceased was withheld, but Lille knew who it was-Sasha Yakovleva.

In fact, Sasha was on an infiltration mission, entering the biotechnology building to obtain a designated piece of information.

As a result, the girl seemed to have discovered some information that she was obsessed with, and she decided to download this information in addition to the mission.

It was this decision that allowed her to stay longer than planned, and was eventually forced to jump to her death by the defense robots.

Leal knew what was going on: Sasha had looked up a drug in the biotechnology database that was commonly used by her mother.

However, the drug had undisclosed side effects that ultimately led to the death of Sasha's mother, so the girl wanted to give her mother justice.

It's a pity that the News 54 media she chose to break the news to is a TV station sponsored by Military Technology, and Military Technology and biotechnology happen to have a cooperative relationship.

Of course, these are only what Lear knew. Whether it was Faraday or Mann, all they saw was that Sasha suddenly disobeyed the command and fell to his death.

After reading it, Leer sighed secretly in his heart.

The pieces of his plan began to come together, but it involved a dead girl.

The first keyword of the puzzle appears in Lear's vision system:
Project Nightingale.

That was the information the girl was fighting to get, a name.

Pulling out the separation chip, Lille went straight to the point: "You want us to complete this investigation, but with the lessons learned from the past, things will only become more difficult."

"That's it." Faraday nodded, "So I want you two teams to investigate at the same time - of course, if you want to monopolize the commission, you can, and the reward will be double."

Lear glanced at the alert Mann, then at Faraday, the scumbag, and slowly shook his head.

"You don't think that if something like this happens, I will still trust your ability to operate, right? In other words, I will find the information myself without you operating it.

If there are results, I will sell them to you. If there are no results, or we are killed by biotechnology, we will not be traced to you. "

Faraday was somewhat unexpected, and Lear's reaction was not within his expectations.

He felt that this Burger King would either accept the commission or kick out the Mann team in a fit of enthusiasm.

Both results are actually acceptable - the Mann team can do hard work, but such highly secretive tasks often go wrong.

But Burger King's team. According to rumors, there is a strong hacker behind them - but the hacker is still not seen today.

Faraday changed his posture, leaned back, put his arms on the high edges of the backrest, and kept tapping the backrest.

"You will die quickly if you act against the company alone."

Lille shrugged: "It's not necessarily much better if you work against the company - but if you want, I can report the situation to you every once in a while."

"Watch your language." Faraday paused again, "--it's not impossible. If you want to die, I won't stop you."

"Then prepare the money to pay."

Lille turned and left the smoke-filled box——
Damn, how many cigarettes do these guys smoke in a day.

"Ahem. It's so fucking uncomfortable."

Seeing Lille's look, V immediately smiled: "Cook."
