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

David didn't care about the looks of these people at all, and took Mower and Sasha to the cordon.

The NCPD officers who were in charge of setting up the cordon just stood together and chatted after finishing their work, with no intention of maintaining order at all.

"What a bunch of bastards..."

With guys like this to maintain order, it would be strange if the security in Night City could be good.

But, this can't be blamed on them.

After all, the NCPD is an underfunded, underequipped, and understaffed organization. Their equipment is not even as good as the security forces of some small companies, and they have to face vicious criminals every day.

How can one fight for the law and order of Night City when he is earning an extremely meager salary every month?

How much money do you make?...

Thinking of this, David shook his head helplessly, crossed the cordon and set his sights on the narrow dark alley next to Misty's shop.

"Gary, I'm giving you the final notice now. Come with us. We will guarantee your personal safety."

"No! I will never leave with you bunch of transformed ghouls!"

Gary was forcibly pulled up by his arms and struggled frantically.

However, with his weak body, how could he resist the people from the company?

He was dragged out of the alley in no time, but when he saw David wearing the uniform of the Terrorist Squad, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ah, it's you, I remember you, you're the good guy who gave me money last time!"

94. What is Cyberpunk (6K)

"Ah, it's you, I remember you, you're the good guy who gave me money last time!"

Suddenly, Gary shouted loudly, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He immediately broke free from the two men in suits and ran to him as if wanting to hug him.

"Wow~"

David subtly took two steps back, leaving Gary empty-handed. He staggered two steps and fell to his knees with a thud.

It hurts just to hear the sound.

However, Gary didn't care at all. When he couldn't stand up for a while, he simply knelt there and shouted, "Ah, are you the messenger sent by God to save me? Sure enough, I was not mistaken!"

“…This guy…”

The corners of David's mouth twitched awkwardly and he didn't know what to say.

Not only him, but also Sasha and Moir.

I wanted to speak up for David, but I had no idea what to say.

The Prophet Gary is indeed worthy of his reputation.

David was too lazy to pay attention to this crying guy and focused his attention on the two men in suits who had just grabbed Gary.

What catches your eye is a straight black suit and exquisite leather shoes. He looks like a successful person.

Hmm, very familiar outfit.

Most office dogs dress like this.

Then, the two men seemed to notice David's gaze and slowly turned around to look at him.

The pair of eyes, which were originally of unknown color, were now flashing a light blue light.

He is from Ye's Company, there is no doubt about that.

Because the employees sent by Ye’s Company all have one thing in common: there is a strange blue light in their eyes.

At the end of his Sun ending, the blue-eyed gentleman who recommended the commission to V was from Ye's Company.

According to rumors on the Internet, this seems to be the result of AI manipulation, but this has never been confirmed and there is no way to confirm it.

After all, the Polish CD Projekt only produced a semi-finished product, and many things were unclear.

"You are David Martinez sent by the Terrorist Squad Headquarters, right? Please help us clean up the scene. We want to take this guy named Gary away."

Just then, one of the men in suits stood up and said this.

But his words made David frown: "You...know me?"

"Yes, Anna contacted us not long ago and said that she would send an outstanding member of the Terrorist Squad, that is, you."

"Haha~" David's eyes gradually became subtle, "Excellent team members..."

Regardless of how the mission is, Anna is indeed a big problem.

As a member of the terrorist squad, she actually contacted those guys in the company in advance. This was not something Anna should do in any way.

"Could this woman be sent by Ye's Company?"

David's mind gradually became clear, and he seemed to understand Anna's origins.

The superior Melissa mentioned might be Ye’s Company.

After all, Ye's Company is the main investor of their police officers, so it is no problem to say that they are their superiors. What's more, this company has an inseparable relationship with the founder of Night City.

It may be difficult to say who has the greatest influence in the entire Night City, but if you want to say who is in charge here, it must be the Night Corporation.

Many things in Night City are inextricably linked to them.

Even though Arasaka has been trying to control Night City, it is still inferior to Night City Corporation.

David's mind was racing with thoughts, and he rejected the requests of the two office dogs: "Sorry, I'm off work now. I came here just to join in the fun, not to clean up the mess for you office dogs."

However, his sarcastic words did not cause any disgust among the two, and there was not even any emotional fluctuation.

Just like that woman Anna.

This also made him more certain that Anna was definitely from Ye's Company.

"I must have a good talk with Melissa about this matter later."

This is what David thought in his heart.

"Then please don't stop us from taking Gary away."

The two company dogs looked at each other, as if they were prepared for his reaction.

"Uh-huh, go ahead."

David shrugged and took a step back to distance himself from Gary.

It was impossible for him to help Gary in this matter. No matter what, Gary had nothing to do with him and could not even be called a friend.

I can only say that he is a fairly familiar stranger.

What's more, he is not a savior, let alone the Virgin Mary. He has no qualifications and no intention to save them.

After all, there are so many people in Night City, and things like this happen all the time. Who can control it if someone wants to?

If you are not careful, you may get yourself into a lot of trouble.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

After saying some meaningless words of thanks, they stepped forward again, and just like before, they grabbed Gary's arms and lifted him up from the ground.

"No, I don't want to go with you lizardmen! Let me go!"

Gary twisted his body like crazy, and seemed to be freed again because he had lost his grip. He staggered a few steps and knelt in front of him again, holding his trouser legs tightly with both hands.

"Kid, listen to me, do you know that you have been targeted by those guys?"

"Who? Targeting me?"

Gary's sudden words left him confused.

"It's that group of lizardmen. They are watching you all the time, watching your life, everything about you! Everything you think and consider is under their watch!"

The two company dogs frowned upon hearing this, and hurried forward to grab Gary's arm again, forcibly pulling him off David's trouser leg, as if trying to hide something.

But even so, Gary did not stop shouting.

"Child! Remember my words! One day, they will descend upon the earth, silently, and cover the sky with darkness! When night falls... it will be an eternal night! Moreover, some of them have already descended, so you must be careful!"

"Please remember what I said, I will contact you again..."

Gary was violently stuffed into the hovercraft by the two men without any hesitation or mercy.

Then, the engine of the hovercraft roared and slowly rose into the sky, as if escaping from here.

However, Gary left him a contact method before leaving. No one knows how this guy did it.

"Mr. Gary... looks a little pitiful."

Sasha, who was standing behind him, sighed as she watched the hovercraft gradually disappear into the sky.

"Now...should I rescue that guy?"

David looked quietly at the extra phone numbers in the contact column, seeming to be lost in thought.

What Gary said just now is really worrying.

Although this guy often talks nonsense and says a lot of incomprehensible things, this time it seems a little clear.

Being targeted...Who is targeting me?

Just now, Gary first called the two people zombies, and then changed it to lizard people. Why?

And the so-called being targeted by the lizard people...

Could it be that Ye’s Company is targeting him?

David made a bold and ridiculous guess.

If he was really targeted by the Ye Corporation, he would not be standing here. After all, he was just an unknown "little man". Even if it was the case with Arasaka, if it weren't for the attention of major companies, he would not have dared to act so decisively against Adam Hammer.

"No, you did the right thing."

At this moment, Mower, who usually spoke the least, suddenly said, "It is the most irrational choice to conflict with the people of the company here."

Mower seemed to be hinting at something, and David subconsciously looked around.

"You're right, Mower." He nodded in agreement.

The only people present, apart from some remaining onlookers and the guy wiggling his hips in the window at the entrance of the bar, were members of the NCPD.

If he really wanted to rescue Gary just now, the NCPD would not just sit there and watch, they would definitely take action.

At that time, it will turn into a full-scale fight between the Terrorist Squad, the Night's Company and the NCPD, and both he and Melissa will be in trouble.

"Forget it, let's go."

David waved his hand and ignored the heated discussions among the people around him, even the condemnation of some homeless people, and left the place while the crowd avoided him.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a combination of "cybernetics" and "punk".

Literally, it means a reflection on "highly mechanical civilization".

This background is mostly depicted in the future, based on the "combination of low-end life and high-tech", with advanced science and technology, and then contrasted with a certain degree of collapsed social structure.

Later, it extended from literature to other media such as movies and games, giving birth to cyberpunk culture.

At the same time, it has evolved into a visual aesthetic style and is applied to many areas of daily life.

"Cyberpunk" was born out of the new wave of science fiction movement that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s.

Originated in the 1980s, science fiction writer Bruce Bosk coined the term in 1984. In , William Gibson's science fiction novel "Neuromancer" promoted the term cyberpunk and opened up a category of science fiction literature.

It has a variety of visual impact effects, such as neon lights on the streets, iconic street advertisements, and high-rise buildings. The colors are usually black, purple, green, blue, and red, but neon lights are just symbols. Not all neon-related things are called cyberpunk.

The plots of cyberpunk often revolve around the conflicts between hackers, artificial intelligence and large corporations.

Science fiction writer Lawrence Pulson once tried to define the connotation and social trend of the cyberpunk literary movement - the classic cyberpunk character is a marginal and alienated loner.

They live on the margins of society, in a dystopian future Earth where daily life is impacted by radically changing technology, pervasive computerized information that envelopes the globe, and invasive human modification.

At night, surrounded by colorful neon lights, David returned home from get off work and sorted out and thought about everything about cyberpunk.

The above content is what was awakened from the depths of his memory.

And these descriptions are exactly everything in Night City, such as hackers Lucky Batmos, Ott Cunningham, etc., and large companies include Arasaka, Military Technology, Zeta Technology, Biotechnology, Kantao, Petrochemical, etc.
