Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"No, get out!"

"I am Yoshitaka Sato, Araka..."

"I don't know, get lost!"

Sato Yoshitaka's face twitched; he felt offended by a cockroach.

With a stern face, he waved his hand, and the Arasaka agent next to him was about to step forward and pull Vito up.

Vito threw the book at the agent's eyes, simultaneously twisting the agent's right hand behind his back with one hand and striking the agent's throat with a karate chop with the other.

The agent gasped for breath as Vito, with his hands forming a Kamehameha-like energy projection, forcefully lifted the agent's chin.

click!

The agent collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Your skills are quite good; you can hold your own against the Arasaka Special Forces."

Vito slowly stood up and glanced sideways at Yoshitaka Sato.

"Are you bragging? This is called 'Old Ape Hanging Seal,' do you people from Arasaka know how to do that?"

Vito tapped the fallen Agent Arasaka with his toe.

Yoshitaka Sato remained arrogant.

"It's just Xingyi Quan, and Arasaka's combat chip already has it recorded."

"Fine, I'll leave it to you guys."

At this moment, Li Ying and Xiao Cha rushed over from the repair shop next door, carrying guns and pointing them at Sato Yoshitaka.

"You didn't come here to have your men lie in front of my shop and obstruct business, did you?"

Yoshitaka Sato seemed unconcerned about the gun barrels beside him.

“You are a very interesting mercenary. I can let you work for the Arasaka Company. This is a godsend opportunity for you.”

Vito couldn't help but pick at his ear. This Arasaka Corporation dog talks so arrogantly. Even God walking on earth isn't as arrogant as him.

"Damn it, anyone who didn't know better would think the Iron Dragon was standing in front of me! Are you done talking? If you're done, get out!"

Sato Yoshitaka frowned. He hadn't expected that someone he considered a piece of trash would dare to refuse Arasaka's invitation.

“Okay, you can choose to continue struggling in the garbage dump, but Arasaka needs you to lure out the cube-headed guy, or rather, Solomon Reed. You have no right to refuse.”

Vito thought to himself, "Are you guys from Arasaka stupid? You listen to my rambling all the time. I know Li De works as a security guard at a bar, but why would you betray someone for no reason?"

"Just this once. If you come looking for me again, I'll tear you to shreds, car and all!"

Sato Yoshitaka's brow relaxed. After it was done, they would leak the information that Vito had sold out the cube, so that the military technology and New America people could take Vito out.

"What are you standing there for? Grimace! Send me the money!"

Yoshitaka Sato readily transferred 30,000 euros to Vito.

Vito took out a tablet and randomly pointed to a location on the map for Yoshitaka Sato.

“I’ll arrange to meet Square Head here in a few days. You can have people lying in wait for him, but don’t set up any surveillance around me. He’s very perceptive.”

Sato Yoshitaka nodded in satisfaction. As for whether Vito would lie, he would be eliminated by Arasaka as long as the blockhead didn't appear.

Yoshitaka Sato turned around and boarded the hovercar.

"Hey, take your people away, don't ruin my business!"

Sato Yoshitaka didn't reply. He returned to the hovercar, picked up a glass of champagne, and the hovercar door slowly closed.

After the hovercar left, two Arasaka agents dressed as passersby lifted the person on the ground into a car and drove away.

Li Ying ran to Vito's side with a worried look on her face and asked.

"What happened?"

Vito activated the insurance on Li Ying's pistol, then put his arm around her and said.

"It's nothing, just some idiot from the company came to give me money. Of course, I'm happy to take free money."

"Vito, is it really okay to write this?"

"The bag is fine!"

“But I still think it would be better to say: ‘Reader’s godfather, from now on Nicole will be your soldier, and she will definitely lead Vito to take down the company.’”

"You're taking me with you? I'm going to the front to open fire, so what are you going to do?"

"We're treating your cyberpsychosis, aren't you? Haven't you noticed how much you've changed? You talk and act without thinking."

"Hey! Didn't you write this? Readers even said my romance scenes were too fast and too inexplicable!"

"That's just how Night City is. Some people disappear for no reason, some are kidnapped for no reason to film Black Dream, and some are inexplicably attacked by Arasaka Tower."

Your romantic scenes were completely inexplicable; it seems the company and Lucius Ryan didn't give you enough time to express your emotions.

"Hey, that's not fair! Why can David and Lucy do something as romantic as watching Mewtwo on the moon?"

“Mann said this is the most romantic thing in Night City, so don’t even think about it. Aren’t you doing just fine now?”

"Yeah, so could you arrange a car for my good friend Jack?"

"Wrapped!"

"Could you improve Cha's fashion sense? He dresses like a night owl biker every day."

"Vito! Little Cha thinks Little Cha has great taste in clothes!"

"Look, Little Cha said he doesn't want to!"

"Hey, I think I've noticed that Bug hasn't appeared in a while. I bought Ashder's book and am waiting for Bug to sign it."

“Aristotle, Jack, I will return when the time is right.”

"And which philosopher said that?"

"That's what I said."

"I want to ask, does nobody in Night City pay attention to real news? Channel 54 even reported on the disappearance of the man with sunglasses, so why is there still no news about my big story?"

"Hey, it seems we're going to eat at Wild Wolf today, let's call it a day."

"It's gone. It's gone."

"agree."

"Slip away."

"Hello! (Authentic Tokyo accent) Has anyone seen where my son went? This old man suddenly feels an itch in his neck."

There is no path before Chapter 85.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zig Q. Today we have invited Ms. Donna, the spokesperson for the NCPD, to our studio. Hello, Donna."

"Hello Zig, hello everyone."

"Dona, were you hit by stray bullets on the way here?"

"Uh, hahaha, of course not."

“Since we’ve known Ms. Donna for a long time, let’s get straight to the point. The public is eager to know what’s going on with those gunfights in the city that are like small-scale wars, and why the NCPD isn’t even qualified to set up a cordon.”

"Uh, well, the NCPD's mission is to protect and serve the residents of Night City, and we will strengthen..."

"Oh, Donna, stop with the official stuff. There's chaos in Night City right now. According to sources, it's a small-scale corporate war. How long are you NCPD going to keep this from the public? Can the NCPD take responsibility for protecting the public?"

"Uh, of course, we will, uh, increase patrols..."

"Forget it, Donna. The only use of the NCPD right now is to boost the stock price of private security companies."

Ding~

The television was turned off.

At a stall on the first floor of the H6 apartment building, an NCPD officer stared blankly at the television that had been turned off.

After a while, a bowl of fried rice made from synthetic rice was placed in front of her, and she finally came to her senses.

"How did NCPD get into this mess? How can they possibly manage Night City with these bastards around?"

The stall owner and the police officer were old acquaintances, he advised.

"Why are you so angry? Angel, even we ordinary people are used to it. Don't be so temperamental. These days, working at the NCPD is no different from going to work at a company."

Angel Bishop is a newcomer to the NCPD. She joins the NCPD with a simple sense of justice, only to find that reality is far from her ideals.

Her colleagues all had their own slush funds, which contained the blood money of gangsters and the hard-earned money of ordinary people.

Although the older officer who accompanied her was relatively cleaner, this older officer named Bruno was always shirking responsibility.

He was completely indifferent to the safety of the people. Once, a gang of lunatics had almost killed half the people in the arcade, but Bruno was still drinking coffee outside on a street, completely ignoring the screams inside.

In the end, Angel drew his gun and rushed in, but Bruno later complained that Angel hadn't included himself in the report.

After finishing a plate of fried rice, Angel went to work as a patrol officer on the street. These days, what is called patrolling is actually just wandering aimlessly around the streets so that people can see NCPD officers loitering around, making sure they get paid.

Recently, a strict order was issued from above: no one is allowed to interfere in any shooting incidents. Keep your head down and don't cause trouble.

Angel was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

When she patrolled to the edge of the district, she saw a scavenger leaning against the factory's sewage disposal facilities, and she couldn't help but go up and remind him.

"That's where the wastewater is dumped in Ara-saka. Don't go there, you'll get sick!"

This scavenger was none other than Kim Yeon in disguise. At this moment, she was already on edge, seeing danger everywhere. When she saw Angel approaching, she released the hacker puppet.

After a flash of electromagnetic light, Angel Bishop died from an electromagnetic short circuit.

Her body collapsed on the street she had patrolled many times.

After checking that no one was around, Kim Yeon went up and read Angel Bishop's behavioral traces and conversation records.

Finally, Kim Yeon, wearing Angel's face and dressed in an NCPD uniform, began patrolling the streets, while the real Angel Bishop was stuffed into a drain.

Kim Yeon now has her own plan. She has spent the last few days learning about Night City and knows that there is a group called the Wanderers who can help with smuggling.

She now needs to find a wanderer and then take her out of Night City.

This path is riskier, but Jin Yan has no other choice. Things are more complicated than she imagined. Those who helped her come to Night City definitely want more than just her skills.

She's currently using Angel Bishop's face, which is perfect for finding a middleman to deliver the goods. As for which middleman to choose, she needs to gather more information and make a comprehensive assessment.

……

The renovation of the Wild Wolf Bar was very fast. In Night City in 2076, as long as you have money, you can do anything with high efficiency. If you don't have money, you'll have to wait in line to call the NCPD to collect corpses.

To celebrate the opening of the new Wild Wolf restaurant, Mrs. Wells prepared a feast. She specifically asked Jack to bring Misty, Vito to bring Liying, and Peppy to bring his wife and children so that everyone could have a meal together.

Mrs. Wells liked the girl Li Ying very much, and she would often ask Vito to add new dishes for Li Ying at the table.

Misty is a vegetarian, and Mrs. Wells specially prepared several vegan dishes for her, but Mrs. Wells still expressed concern that Misty was too thin and that this could not continue.

Peppy loved Mrs. Wells' cooking and ate heartily. His wife, Cynthia, couldn't help but remind Peppy to be more demure and to keep an eye on their son.
