People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

"Moir...?"

Lucy repeated the name, and suddenly remembered that David did tell her, "Are you Lieutenant Mower of Militech?"

"...That's a thing of the past."

For the first time, Mower's calm tone fluctuated, like an inaudible sigh.

"Then how do you know David is heading to Arasaka Tower now?"

"..."

Mower did not answer Lucy's question immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Lucy for a while before he said silently, "...He said it himself. Not long ago, he told me about his plan. The last step is to go to Arasaka Tower."

As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage fell silent and everyone's eyes were on Mower.

Lucy was the most shocked and puzzled among them.

How many things did David hide from her?

She had no idea that Arasaka Tower was going to be attacked...

No, it's not that she is completely unaware of it. At least David once told her that he wanted to destroy Arasaka Tower.

But although she tried to dissuade him at the time, she almost treated it as a joke made on the spur of the moment, and David actually did it.

“David....”

Lucy involuntarily turned her head to look outside the car window at the Arasaka Tower that was like a pillar of the sky, her eyes full of worry.

"But why did he go to Arasaka Tower?!"

Mower's words not only caused Lucy's concern, but also made Rebecca very puzzled.

"...I have no idea."

Mower shook his head regretfully.

It was because of such a simple sentence that everything that everyone wanted to say was blocked.

"Damn it!"

A muffled sound came from the car, and Rebecca kicked the door hard. "Is this guy crazy?!"

Not only Rebecca felt this way, Qiwei and Falco felt the same way, covering their foreheads with their hands due to headaches.

Is there any difference between attacking Arasaka Tower and committing suicide?

It is one of the three largest companies at the top of the world, with a market value of 8900 billion euros and more than 595000 employees!

Even for the Night City branch, crushing these street cyberpunks is as easy as crushing ants.

Breaking into Arasaka Tower alone...It's really not convincing to say that David is not crazy.

"Um...everyone..."

At this moment, Sasha, who had been in a transparent state, suddenly spoke up and attracted everyone's attention.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the girl said weakly: "Although I haven't been in contact with Mr. David for too long, I don't think Mr. David is such a reckless person. He must have his reasons for doing this..."

At least from the perspective of helping her deal with biotechnology, she knew David was a thoughtful person.

I wouldn't be so reckless as to challenge Arasaka Tower alone.

These words inexplicably eased the tense atmosphere, and at the same time the group of people burst into laughter, which left Sasha completely confused.

Did I say something wrong?

"That kid... isn't reckless? That's impossible. How could a normal person break into the Vortex Gang's lair with only one person?" Falco said with a smile.

"Yeah, that guy is a lunatic sometimes." Rebecca echoed, but her eyes showed admiration and memories.

She has the most say in the matter of the Single Vortex Gang, because that time it was to save her.

"Yeah, David...it's really crazy sometimes."

This is Lucy.

Also sighed.

I even recalled the scene when I first met David, the scene of killing the cyber madman, and the scene of showing off my driving skills on the road to the Death Tiger Claw Gang.

All kinds of memories flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope of memories, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a happy arc.

That's not crazy? Not reckless?

How is that possible?

"..."

Mower heard them and did not respond.

She was just vaguely recalling the scene when she met David, and the scene when he kindly took her to the prosthetic doctor for treatment.

Reckless?

To her, he is more like a good guy.

A rare good guy in Night City.

Whatever David's purpose was, at least he saved her, and that is an indisputable fact.

However, their attitude made Sasha even more confused.

Because among all the women present, except Qiwei, they had basically experienced more or less incidents with David.

However, although nothing happened between Qiwei and David, after that private conversation, she understood David better than anyone else.

He is a man who will do anything to achieve his goal.

When necessary, they will abandon all compassion and become cold-blooded and ruthless.

But such people are often more reliable than anyone else in Night City.

"Ahh~ There's really no other choice, let's go to Arasaka Tower too!"

Suddenly, Rebecca suggested to everyone, "David really needs support now. Since he wants to go crazy, let's go crazy with him to the end!"

Click!

Rebecca pulled the bolt hard.

"And then give him a good beating!"

"Ah, that's right."

This time, Lucy did not refute Rebecca's suggestion, and rarely expressed her agreement.

As long as David is around, there's really nothing to be afraid of, Arasaka or anything like that.

"..."

Mower still didn't answer, but her tightly clenched fists and the orange light on her finger bones already showed her answer.

"Yes, yes! Let's go help Mr. David together!"

Sasha, who looked the most fragile among all the people present, also agreed.

However, although she looks weak, she is the craziest of them all.

Because apart from her, no one else dared to sneak into a company like biotechnology alone.

Not to mention that they successfully stole data from it and blew up the biotechnology building.

"Big Beard, Qiwei, how did you decide?"

Finally, the choice was left to the two people sitting in the front seat.

"Need I say more? Of course I'll go with you little girls."

This was Falco's answer, and he showed that familiar smile.

"Huh~? I didn't expect your beard wasn't the only thing about you that's brave."

"I'm afraid if I shave my beard, you'll fall in love with me."

For the attack on Arasaka Tower, it was as easy as eating and drinking, and no one seemed nervous.

Even Falco was in the mood to joke with Rebecca.

"Haha, shut up, idiot! I'll kill you if I can."

Rebecca replied jokingly, and then threw the choice to Qi Wei: "What about you, Obaa-san?"

"...You guys are really crazy." Qi Wei held her forehead helplessly.

"So you're planning on getting off here?"

"..."

Qi Wei did not answer immediately, but looked out the car window at the darkening sky, hesitated for a moment and said, "...I hope you can hurry up, I don't want to delay my beauty sleep."

"Yeah! Falco, drive! Let's go crazy!!! Yahoo——"

Rebecca's excited shouting seemed to infect the engine, making it roar like a wild beast.

The SUV sped at full speed from Watson District towards the Civic Center.

"....What on earth am I doing?"

Qi Wei slowly lowered the car window, letting the strong wind coming in from outside tear at her short light blonde hair, as if this could calm her mind a little.

But even after doing so, she still couldn't figure out what was going on with her and why she made such a choice.

Perhaps if we look at it from the perspective of the past, it seems completely unimaginable that I would make such an irrational choice.

However, seeing that the companions in the car were all struggling for the same thing, I inexplicably didn't want to refuse...

"What the hell is wrong with me..."

-------------------------------------

The sky gradually darkened and the moon slowly rose.

"laugh--"

David took out Old Vita's special inhibitor and took a sip. He immediately felt more alert.

It must be said that that form really takes too much toll on the body, and only the use of inhibitors can partially relieve the tired nerves.

If the implants in the brain were not of military or even experimental grade, it would not be surprising if such a huge amount of computing power burned out the components.

At the same time, the hovercraft he and Faraday were riding in had slowly slowed down and was slowly driving into the dock of Arasaka Building.

"Oh wow, it's really lively."

David glanced outside and saw that the dock was full of fully armed Arasaka soldiers wearing heavy bulletproof vests.

The intelligent submachine gun TKI-20 Shingen produced by Arasaka is basically their standard equipment, and the black muzzles of the guns are pointed at the broken doors of the hovercraft.

"This is not what was agreed upon, Faraday."

Standing on the dock, Douglas' face suddenly darkened as he was surrounded by soldiers.

Besides Faraday in a maroon suit, there was another strange boy who had implants made of black metal on all his limbs who got off the hovercraft.

The young man was David Martinez as shown in the intelligence.

"You broke your promise. Not only did you not bring the Cybernetic Power Rangers and the data, you didn't even bring the hacker."

Douglas' voice gradually became solemn: "Faraday, you dog that bites its master, do you know what will happen if you play tricks on Arasaka?"

Since David Martinez does not have a cybernetic body, it is a foregone conclusion that Faraday is playing tricks on Arasaka.

"Is this really okay? Isn't this the experimental subject you most want to get? If you get him, can't the experiment of the cyborg be carried out at any time?"

At this point, Faraday even dared to use David as a bargaining chip, and in front of him.

Damn, isn’t this old guy afraid of death?

David said he was shocked, angry and wanted to laugh. It was the first time he had seen someone more arrogant than himself.

But this guy is just a grasshopper in autumn and has no chance to jump.

"I have orders to stop you from doing this, no matter what."

Douglas slowly raised his hand to signal, and immediately all the soldiers put their fingers on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down."
