Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 942, Section 152: Household Items

Elizabeth Perares opened her eyes and looked at the people who appeared in her line of sight.

The last thing she remembered was seeing KK, and then...
My memory has been fragmented once again.

Elizabeth Perares frowned, covered her forehead, and sat up.

Lately, she often feels like she has forgotten something, or like something is wrong, but she can't remember it no matter what she does, so she is now a bit confused.

She only remembered KK coming, and then her memory went blank. But looking at KK, her daughter, and her husband sitting here chatting, did they talk for a while and then she suddenly fainted?
Elizabeth Perares had no idea that she had been knocked unconscious by KK.

"Elizabeth."

Seeing his wife wake up, Jefferson Peralez glanced at her with some concern. He couldn't be sure how much of her past memories she retained.

"Miss Zechi, I will leave some of my men as your guards. Please report for duty tomorrow."

Upon seeing that Elizabeth Perales had woken up, Karl had no intention of staying any longer.

The business I needed to attend to in Night City today has already been completed, and this unexpected matter has also been resolved.

Having gained a dedicated legal advisor and the friendship of a potential future mayor of Night City, Carl felt he had made the most of this temporary interlude.

Regarding the matter concerning the Night Corporation, there's no need to rush to deal with that mysterious company right now.

Now that things are almost settled, it's time to leave everything to the Perarez family and let them take a break.

After all, not everyone can remain calm after learning that their entire family's memories were almost altered and they were turned into someone else's puppets.

In Elizabeth Perares's bewilderment, she watched as KK, whom she had only glanced at a few times, greeted her husband and daughter before hurriedly leaving, completely unaware of what had happened.

Just as Zech and Jefferson were explaining the situation to Elizabeth, Carl had already quietly left the apartment building. He hailed a Delaman car and headed straight for the KK team's residence in Night City.

I haven't been back for almost a month. Although I bought a set of many things in Dogtown, some of them are unique.

For example, Carl's only film, Cyber ​​Psycho, was the last work left by the famous director J.K. Smith.

This item is a unique treasure in the world. Considering that the people documented include KK and his team members, and even the Mann team made a 'cameo' appearance, and that it is a posthumous work, it is not surprising that passionate enthusiasts would be willing to pay an astronomical price to acquire it.

And this is just one of Carl's collections; he has many other important items from other people's collections as well.

For example, Jack's incredibly precious championship belt and trophy, which he won from Razor, and Oliver's treasured limited edition Mewtwo video, etc., each of these items is valued by its owner more than anything else.

Leaving these treasures in an unattended apartment with only basic security was too unsafe, so Carl, following his companions' advice, decided to take all the most precious ones to Dogtown, where he now lived.

After all, no one can say for sure whether thieves will target this place. Even Saburo Arasaka's things have been stolen, so Karl never expects his reputation to deter those audacious thieves.

Karl had considered having someone pack up his house and bring all the belongings over, but considering that his trusted people were all quite busy, he felt embarrassed to involve his subordinates in such a personal matter. Hiring a professional moving company, however, risked that these special collections would attract unwanted attention from those handling them.

Given their current reputation, it wouldn't be surprising if they were robbed on the way if the news leaked out. Even within the moving company, countless people might risk their lives for these treasures. After all, any one of these items could potentially be worth a luxury car, given the KK team's reputation. Some items might even be worth more than their weight in euros.

So it was delayed until Karl happened to be going back to the city today, and he needed to go home to pack up some important things to take with him.

He deliberately had Dellaman stop at a distance, disguised his face, and walked towards the super skyscraper where he lived. After walking a few steps, he saw a crowd of people gathered on the street watching the commotion.

Almost instinctively, Karl took a step in that direction, then abruptly stopped, but he had already overheard the conversation taking place over there.

"Another one! How many is that now?"

"The fourth one recently, said that the price of some thing has fallen below a certain level, causing them to go bankrupt."

"Tsk tsk, didn't something similar just come out a while ago? Why is it happening again?"

"They just don't believe in superstitions, what else could it be?"

Karl listened to their discussion, his steps never faltering, but he was mentally reviewing the recent events in the city based on the information he had received.

You're talking about Mewtwo, right?

I remember someone saying that hoarding this kind of Mewtwo would definitely increase its value, but it turned out that this kind of Mewtwo was not rare at all, and the price was driven up by speculation, causing a lot of people who hoarded it to go bankrupt.

Then, just two days ago, those who were laughing at those who hoarded regular Mewtwo while holding rare Mewtwo found that their rare Mewtwo had been re-released and suddenly became worthless, so they sold a few more.

Speculation is extremely harmful.

Carl shook his head, not paying much attention. After all, he didn't really care about the rarity of Mewtwo; he only cared about its practicality. Once he finished looking at it, he had learned most of it. The only thing he could call rare was JK's posthumous work, which Carl only took because JK was about to die.

'I'll have to ask Oliver back; I wonder if his prized Mewtwo is on this re-release list.'

However, Carl thought about it again and realized that given Oliver's personality, he probably only stockpiled Mewtwo because he was interested in the quality of the actresses in the show, and he had no intention of reselling it for its value. So there was no need to make a special mention of it.

That is.
No relation?
I don't care.

This incident only flashed through Karl's mind once, and didn't linger in his thoughts for long. When Karl arrived at the bottom of his apartment building, ready to go to the private elevator room, he found that he had tried to unlock the elevator room three times but still couldn't open the private room.

'I remember the apartment rent wasn't overdue, and it's not like I should have stopped paying my rent.'

Just when Carl thought there might be a problem with the power supply, he tried connecting to his home security camera, and then...
Karl's lips twitched as he stared at the frozen surveillance footage.

This image is basically a standard camouflage image.

My own home.
It couldn't have actually been stolen, could it?
