Ke Ling didn't speak. With a thought, the Shadow Wolf quickly materialized beneath his feet.
Stepping onto the Shadow Wolf's back, Ke Ling could feel the descent significantly lessen, even momentarily halting.
"It really works!"
Ke Ling laughed heartily, amused by his own cleverness. "To come up with this idea, I'm a real genius!"
"?!"
Sasha's eyes widened; she clearly felt the descent lessen, as if they had stepped onto solid ground for a moment.
Of course, the reduction in the feeling of falling was only momentary.
Because Ke Ling stepped on it, the Shadow Wolf also quickly fell downwards, unable to provide them with long-term support.
But that was enough; the force they had just experienced was at most the feeling of jumping from a two-story building.
With a thought, Ke Ling retrieved the falling Shadow Wolf and repeated the action, causing it to solidify once again beneath his feet.
Ke Ling stepped down again, and the feeling of falling lessened once more. The shadow wolf acted like a temporary step, allowing Ke Ling to rest midway through his descent.
Soon, through repeated attempts, Ke Ling had brought Sasha close to the ground.
"Snapped."
With both feet on the ground, this distance from the height of the Shadow Wolf the last time was about two stories high.
Falling from that height was no problem for Ke Ling at all, even though she was holding one in her arms.
Despite being about twenty stories high, Ke Ling split it into two stories at a time, and he easily jumped down using the Shadow Wolf as a stepping stone.
"Metaphysics is indeed more useful."
Ke Ling shook his head with a smile. Actually, that was nonsense. When he replaced his prosthetic eye and brain-computer interface, he thought the prosthetic body was really useful.
The reason why science is not useful is simply that he has not yet enjoyed the useful creations of science.
If they had mechanical wings or jetpacks, the two of them would have come downstairs long ago.
There's even a hang glider? Or a climbing brace or other prosthetic that can climb walls—there are plenty of ways to do it.
"We escaped?"
In Ke Ling's arms, Sasha looked completely bewildered, wondering what had just happened.
"Girl, not yet, you should get down and run by yourself."
Ke Ling smiled and teased Sasha, reminding them that they had only escaped the most dangerous place and were not yet completely out of danger.
"what"
Sasha realized what was happening and struggled a little, her face turning slightly red. Ke Ling stopped teasing her and simply let her stand on the ground.
"Let's go! V and Jack are still waiting for us."
Before Sasha could say anything, Ke Ling had already sent messages to V and Jack Wells, who were still waiting on the outer ring of the company square.
The people of Night City love a good show, and there are quite a few cars parked on the outer ring of the square now, so they don't seem suspicious anymore.
"What we need to do now is to carefully avoid the blockade."
Ke Ling hid close to the edge of the building, then looked towards the center of the company plaza and was surprised to find that there weren't many NCPDs or company guards.
"They never expected us to come down."
Sasha has returned to normal. She uses her prosthetic eye to scan the people and environment around her, planning famous routes in her mind.
Not only did the enemy not expect it, but even she herself did not expect it.
Ke Ling glanced at Sasha's eyes with considerable envy; Sasha's prosthetic eye was clearly of a much better quality than his.
Not only does it look better, but it also has more functions than his prosthetic eye, making it a complete and utterly superior device. Of course, the price is also far superior.
"Let's go! Before the NCPD's support arrives!"
Sasha had fully regained her composure and decisiveness. She led the way, pulling Ke Ling along as they jogged past checkpoints.
Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!
Chapter 42 The First Pot of Gold
"Breaking news: An explosion has occurred at a biotechnology company building. The extent of the damage is currently unknown. The intruder is suspected to still be escaping inside the building. The NCPD has dispatched reinforcements. Citizens are advised to stay away from the vicinity to avoid accidental injury."
Inside the second-hand Galina, the radio news blared, reporting breaking news, and V and Jack Wells listened with growing anxiety.
They were waiting anxiously. Although Ke Ling had sent a message, they still couldn't feel at ease until they saw him.
"I'm coming!"
V, who had been staring at the company square, suddenly became excited, opened the car door and got out.
Jack Wells breathed a sigh of relief; he had also seen that Ke Ling and Sasha had escaped.
"Om."
Jack Wells started the car. The mission was successfully completed. Now the important thing was to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Get in! Let's go!"
Sure enough, after Ke Ling and Sasha arrived, they didn't say a word, but immediately pulled V into the car and urged them to leave.
"Sorry, Ke Ling, you know this car can't go fast."
The second-hand Galina started moving at a snail's pace, and Jack Wells shook his head with a smile.
"It's okay, we'll get a new car tomorrow!"
V's joy was palpable, and she spoke with great pride.
What kind of car are you planning to get?
Ke Ling leaned back in the back seat, laughing as she replied.
"We should at least get a Curtis, right? It's powerful, durable, and perfect for people like us."
V started counting on his fingers, realizing that there were actually quite a few cars he could buy with 100,000.
If you grit your teeth, you can even afford a sports car, even if they're all secondhand.
But V never buys new cars; she always buys used cars at rock-bottom prices, which is economical and affordable. She's not a vain person.
"Let's go take a look together tomorrow. If we find a car we like, we can all chip in."
Ke Ling suggested that they pool their money to buy a company vehicle for all missions so that everyone could drive it together.
This second-hand Galina is alright for normal driving, but it's a bit of a hindrance on missions. Luckily there wasn't a chase today, or they would have been blown to bits.
"Excuse me, where are we going?"
Sasha, who was listening to the conversation between the three, couldn't help but ask a question, as she actually had some things to take care of.
"Go find the middleman and give him the things."
Jack Wells said with a hint of probing, referring, of course, to the priest as the middleman.
He, V, and Ke Ling received their mission from the priest, but Sasha did not. This raises a question: who should they hand over the items to once they have them?
Jack Wells had a good relationship with the priest and trusted him more, so his choice was self-evident.
V's attitude was naturally the same, and the two of them believed that Ke Ling would also choose the priest.
The problem is that Sasha is the main force in this operation. Without her, the mission cannot be completed, and they have to respect Sasha's wishes.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Sasha nodded and smiled. She was a smart girl and naturally understood what Jack Wells meant.
However, she had no intention of advocating for the interests of the middleman; that was a matter between the middleman and the client, and had nothing to do with her. She was only responsible for completing the task.
"Great! Let's go find the priest and ask him to settle the bill!"
A smile appeared on V's face; avoiding disagreement was naturally the best outcome.
"By the way, how did you two escape?"
Having resolved a troublesome matter, Jack Wells felt relieved and asked curiously as he drove.
"Of course, it was through my fierce performance that I fought my way through."
Without saying a word, Ke Ling patted his chest and took all the credit for himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Sasha's eyes had curved into a smile and her lips were pursed.
"That's awesome?"
V raised an eyebrow, looking at Ke Ling with suspicion, clearly somewhat disbelieving.
"It's true, thanks to them."
When Sasha noticed V looking at her, she smiled and nodded, but her smile and Ke Ling's smugness only made V more disbelieving.
"Huh, a hero saving a damsel in distress?"
Jack Wells turned to Ke Ling and winked, and Ke Ling gave him the middle finger and said:
"Just keep driving. We barely escaped, don't let us die on the road."
This amused Jack Wells, who responded by giving Ke Ling the middle finger and saying:
"Please trust my skills."
V glanced at Ke Ling, then at Sasha, and the two of them smiling broadly made her purse her lips.
"There's a problem. You two have a problem."
Ke Ling shrugged, like a little bear. He couldn't help it; he really didn't want to keep explaining.
Seeing this, V shook her head and didn't ask any more questions. She knew that escaping must have been very difficult.
Gallina walked slowly, the four of them chatting along the way, and soon arrived at the small chapel in Haywood, where the priest was already waiting.
"Father, have you seen the news?"
Jack Wells looked triumphant, even though he felt he hadn't been of much help, having only driven back and forth twice, but he was still proud of it.
