From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

Leo and his group had already spotted the rioters blocking the road.

"Eleven, the quantity and quality are both very average."

V quickly made a decision and had the disguised "widow maker" lean out of the car window.

"I'll take down the one with the Molotov cocktail first!"

boom!

Before the words were even finished, the steel-core caseless bullet was launched after a brief charging process.

A mere hundred meters is insignificant to a bullet.

The Whirlpool Gang members had barely seen the car drift when they suffered casualties.

Bang.

The sound of the skull exploding was dull and piercing.

White synthetic blood splattered all over the ground, and was then ignited by the Molotov cocktail.

"Damn it! Fight back now!"

The leader was nearly burned by his own Molotov cocktails, dodging to the side while pulling the trigger of his submachine gun.

bang bang bang-

The intense gunfire ripped through the silent night, successfully dispersing the few residents within a radius of several hundred meters.

During the firefight, bullets from kinetic weapons kept hitting oncoming vehicles, but could only leave scratches on the heavy armor plates.

"It's a modified car! Load up with grenades—"

Bang.

The man with the mohawk could no longer give orders, for he became the second victim.

The gang members were in a brief moment of confusion, then quickly exchanged a few words behind cover.

Soon, they all took out the grenades they carried, ready to destroy the enemy vehicles as soon as they stopped.

A female member looked up to assess the situation, her voice suddenly changing: "They didn't slow down! They're driving straight at us, get out of the way!"

She shouted and left first, but the people who received the warning didn't react as quickly.

Two unfortunate men hiding behind the wreckage of a vehicle were launched into the air with the roar of the metal colliding, only to be killed by several smart munitions before they even landed.

This is precisely Vera and Leo's combined technique!

The armored vehicle forcibly rammed through the vehicles blocking the way, tearing apart the Vortex Gang's defenses.

Immediately afterwards, gun barrels protruding from the windows on both sides of the car began to reap their lives!

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots, clearer than those from kinetic weapons, rang out continuously.

The gang members, now without cover, were powerless against Leo and his men's guns!

The gunfire subsided within seconds.

Red and white blood flowed everywhere, and the severed limbs and remains were a truly gruesome sight.

Leo didn't even glance at them, waving his hand forward: "Keep moving forward, to the small square ahead. Jack, you guys check around, and if there are any survivors, remember to finish them off."

“Fine…” Jack’s sullen voice rang out.

The car in front continued forward and soon came to see a small square located in a dead end.

This place used to be a place for employees to rest and relax, but now it has become a sinister and terrifying site of cult rituals.

The road was completely blocked off by abandoned vehicles and concrete bollards, so Vera had to park her car outside the entrance.

Several drones flew forward, providing a bird's-eye view for everyone.

Through the drone's lens, a chilling scene unfolds before our eyes.

In the small square, blood, still wet with the splatter of blood, spread rampantly, covering the walls, the ground, and the bodies of the fallen Vortex Gang members.

Those arrogant gang members lay sprawled on the ground like broken dolls, their bodies covered in knife and gunshot wounds, blood gushing from them and pooling into dark red puddles.

In the center of the square is a mysterious pattern hand-painted in blood, resembling a heart with a cross.

In the center, there is an open freezer, through which you can see reddish-brown ice and blood, as well as human organs floating in the water.

"Damn it..." V muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on? This so-called special operation is just them coming here to commit suicide!?"

"A sacrificial ceremony to welcome the arrival of the Moon Mother..." Leo also disliked the eerie atmosphere and immediately ordered the drone to descend to find more clues.

The drone ignored the nauseating smell of blood and lowered its altitude.

They soon discovered a member of the Vortex Gang who was different from others—he was still alive, but barely clinging to life.

Upon hearing the drone's buzzing, he looked up, revealing a horrifying face. His cybernetic eyes had been brutally ripped out, leaving only two bloody holes.

"Is that you? Goddess Lilith? You've come to pick me up?"

The drone silently photographed his face and sent the image to Pure White.

After comparison, Pure White found his information in the NCPD database: "This person is a formal member of the Vortex Gang, has a criminal record, and is different from the other sacrifices."

V was puzzled: "What do you mean? Aren't the others members of the Whirlpool Gang?"

Pure White responded: "It doesn't seem like it. Their cybernetic bodies have Vortex Gang characteristics, but the color is wrong. After observing them up close, I'm more inclined to believe they are victims who were captured by the Vortex Gang and subjected to illegal modifications."

This wasn't self-sacrifice; their wounds were inflicted by others, and they may have been injected with large amounts of illegal drugs before death, rendering them unconscious. Unfortunately, their faces were severely disfigured, making simple identification impossible.

"These idiot lunatics, they're too scared to die themselves, so they kidnap ordinary citizens and transform them into gang members to make up the numbers!"

V was furious and reached for the car door: "I'm going to catch that cyber lunatic, or he'll die on his own."

Leo grabbed her arm: "It's not him, he's a cultist, he's about to die."

Just as he said, the cultists of the Vortex Cult, not receiving a response from the god, opened their mouths and murmured with difficulty, "Lilith has hidden the Tenth Holy Grail from the eyes of our ancestors, the great god... is about to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he exhaled his last breath, and his chest stopped rising and falling.

Chapter 350 Leo: "Back in the day, I opened Lilith's box the moment we met!"

Looking at the footage transmitted back by the drone, V, with one foot on the ground and the other still in the car, was dumbfounded: "Everyone here is dead, who do you expect me to capture alive?"

Leo shook his head quickly: "Everyone you can see on the surface is dead, but there's one still alive, right there—"

He pointed to the freezer not far away.

A drone had been hovering over the freezer for a long time, filming the scene inside.

Pure White closes all other windows, leaving only this one open.

The camera automatically zoomed in, magnifying the scene in the bathtub until it revealed a female body hidden beneath the water.

Most of her body was covered with various bloody organs, with only her blood-stained left hand protruding above the water and reaching towards the sky.

Sasha: "This can't possibly be alive! Its head is submerged below the surface!"

Leo: There might be oxygen tubes underwater, but it doesn't matter. V, be careful, she has a lot of combat prosthetics.

“V: Leave it to me. As long as she is still human, I am confident that I can subdue her.”

Leo released her arm, signaling the others to prepare to assist, just in case.

Outside the vehicle, V walked cautiously, his eyes glancing around every now and then.

No matter how she looked around, there wasn't a trace of "living people" nearby, but as she got closer, her intuition began to warn her.

She could sense that something terrifying was hidden in the freezer—a cold corpse. Strangely, the corpse seemed to be awakening, about to return from the realm of the dead.

A sense of danger tingled through her nerves, but it was far from being a fatal crisis.

The person inside the freezer is both dangerous and not so dangerous, like a terrible demon trapped in a fragile body.

wow-

When she approached within ten meters of the freezer and slowed her pace again, the other party responded first.

The hand that was reaching towards the sky trembled in spasm and suddenly pressed down on the edge of the freezer.

The frost that had formed on the freezer fell off in a flurry, and the surrounding cold air seemed to tremble at the sudden movement.

Immediately afterwards, a young woman wearing close-fitting underwear and a tactical belt slowly crawled out in a strange posture.

Her body was young and strong, but her legs had been replaced with the ugliest deformed prosthetics.

After climbing out of the bathtub, she kicked and stomped wildly on the floor with her prosthetic feet, which resembled insect limbs, shaking off tiny shards of ice.

In addition, her arms were replaced with metal prosthetics, and her face was so disfigured that it was almost impossible to recognize her original appearance.

V subconsciously scanned her—

[Name: Zalia Hughes]

[Subordinate Organization: Whirlpool Gang]

Bounty: €561.

[Bounty Level: Three Stars]

[Criminal Charge: Forcible removal of a life-sustaining implant, second-degree murder.]

[Implants: Sharp Eyes (multi-functional LED prosthetic eye for combat robots), Mantis Blade, heavy subcutaneous armor, reinforced endoskeleton, flexible joints, Krenzikov implant, S.A.R. Steinstein implant, biomonitoring, combat stimulants, and reflex enhancement components.]

At first glance, it looks pretty strong...

However, the chest was still rising and falling, and the body was warm, which meant that this was a living person!

That doesn't matter. As long as it's not some kind of supernatural creature like a demon or monster, she has nothing to fear!

"What a pretentious charlatan! He shamelessly claims to be the Mother of the Moon. What kind of Mother of the Moon has her hands stained with blood?"

Trash talk before the fight starts is a universal dueling etiquette!

V hadn't expected this obviously abnormal person to respond, but to her surprise, she actually spoke: "Blasphemer! Kill her!"

That's strange... Shouldn't a normal person say "I'll kill you"? Why would they say "I'll kill her"?

The tone of those words was as if someone were giving an order to another person, but there was only one person here…

"Kill... I'll kill you!"

She spoke again, but her icy tone was replaced by a mumbled, unclear one.

V recalled Leo's sensational guess and understood why he felt strange.

One body, two consciousnesses, which is why this strange phenomenon of "questioning and answering oneself" occurs.

"Ahhh-"

As V pondered, the woman tilted her head back and let out a series of strange roars mixed with buzzing and cries of pain.

Several drones immediately emitted black smoke and sparks as they plunged towards the ground.

At the same time, V's neural signals were also disconnected from the hacker team, and the others could no longer share her vision.

Leo was startled and was about to ask when he heard Chunbai's comforting words.

[It's nothing. She modified her vocal cords into an electromagnetic pulse transmitter, which is incredibly effective against electronic devices, that's all. As for the network, with my full-scale interception of attacks, there won't be any problems for the time being.]

After saying that, she posted the message in the team's internal channel to calm everyone's panic.

Inside the square, V was also met with a sudden attack from the enemy.

Zalia's figure blurred for a moment, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of her as if she had teleported.

clang--

A pair of gleaming mantis blades sprang from V's arm, precisely blocking the attack of another pair of mantis blades.

Zalia seemed surprised that Sianwistan's attack, combined with the Mantis Blade, would be blocked.

Distracted during battle is not a good habit. Without thinking, V kicked out, aiming straight for her deformed prosthetic foot.

With its thicker top and thinner bottom, and a pointed prosthetic foot at the very bottom, it inevitably lacks balance.

I don't know why these cybernetic lunatics are so fond of these incredibly ugly prosthetics. The crazy woman I met at the seaside cafe last time also had this deformed prosthetic and mantis knife combination...

Wait, is that right too?

V can be used for two purposes at once, allowing it to think while attacking.
