In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

Ask her to guess.

This V probably won't believe it, so I'll have to put some effort into convincing her.

But unexpectedly, V stared at her for a while, suddenly smiled, nodded, and then kissed her, leaving Bai Rui no chance to speak.

Great.

V felt extremely relaxed.

Bai Rui is still her Bai Rui.

has not been changed.

"Wait, I have to say, I didn't do what happened between Kikyo and Judy. Damn it, she took advantage of me turning on the automatic mode and tricked my innocent Kikyo body into the bed and chiseled it."

"Just shut up."

V covered Bai Rui's sweet little mouth, preventing her from speaking again.

It's over.

The only sense of urgency left in V's heart was the active metal on Bai Rui's body.

The active metal in Bai Rui's body must be dispelled.

In any way.

She would never let Bai Rui become an emotionally indifferent AI.

Even if this might offend Bai Rui, it would not matter.

It's okay to ask her to ask for forgiveness afterwards.

She would never allow an uncontrollable thing to be in Bai Rui's body.

Chapter 340: Underground, No One Hears Your Screams

Blue Eyes was in the armored vehicle, watching the screams and disappearances of the agents' helmet cameras one after another on the screen, his expression solemn.

"Boss, the action team... is completely wiped out."

The communicator took off his headphones tremblingly, his hands still shaking.

A team of elite special agents from a company was wiped out.

The enemy's strength far exceeded their imagination.

"That would be troublesome..."

Blue Eyes stood up straight, his face gloomy.

A plan to recapture the outflowing active metals.

failure.

......

Bai Rui put down the phone with a strange look on his face.

"what happened?"

V asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Blue Eyes called and gave us a commission."

"reject."

Upon hearing the name Blue Eyes, V answered without thinking.

Nothing good will come of being associated with this guy with blue eyes.

She did not forget that the active metals in Bai Rui's body were caused by the outflow of assets from Ye's Company.

Who knows if it’s related to active metals again this time.

There is no idea how to dispel the active metal V in Bai Rui's body.

"but."

Bai Rui stiffened his neck and wanted to argue a little more.

"Maybe you should just give up on this idea."

He crossed his hands and made an "X" gesture, showing a very firm attitude.

"Okay, okay, then I won't go."

Bai Rui lay weakly on the sofa.

To be honest, she really wanted to go.

Maybe I can get some secrets about my life from Blue Eyes.

To be honest, she is too curious about it now.

I always feel like I'm not an ordinary person.

Of course, this is not the kind of feeling that one is special due to a second-year syndrome, but a clue drawn from a lot of evidence.

How could a normal person absorb active metals and not die?

Normal people would have no father and no... Wait, it seems like there are a lot of people like this in Night City.

"..."

The two stared at each other in silence until V narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, breaking the silence.

"You're not going to go there secretly without telling me."

"?"

"Ah, is that so? How is that possible? You are slandering me."

Bai Rui avoided her gaze and spoke stubbornly but appeared strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside.

The thought had just occurred to her when it was spoken out by V, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, I'll spare you this time, just this once, and I'll go with you."

In the end, it was V who compromised.

She scratched her face speechlessly, looking like she was helpless against Bai Rui.

If she agreed, it would be better for her to stay with Bai Rui.

If Bai Rui goes there secretly and something goes wrong, that would be troublesome.

We might as well go together.

"V, you really are the best!"

Bai Rui gave a thumbs up energetically, overjoyed.

......

Night City at night.

The Raven and Phantom aircraft circled in the air, with their engines spewing tail flames, and landed in the dilapidated streets of Taiping Island.

The holographic projection rising into the sky in the circular area in the distance seemed like some kind of untouchable illusion. In the deserted and dilapidated factory area, the agents of Qianye Company surrounded the streets with barbed wire and blocked off the area.

“Are we on time yet?”

The blue-eyed man at the dispatch site looked at the blocked abandoned factory building and nodded.

"Just right."

"It's very simple. Under the factory is a secret research center for biotechnology."

“That’s where the last of the active metal solutions are to be recovered.”

Of course, it would be nice if things were that simple.

As a local enterprise in Night City, Ye's Company may not be able to catch up with the two giants Arasaka and Militech, but it is more than enough to capture a research center.

But the problem is that biotechnology itself seems to have lost control of the research center here.

The Ye mercenaries who entered were killed by unknown enemies. Apart from the screams coming from the blurry images, there was no more information.

After the third batch of mercenaries were wiped out in the same way, he realized that he must have a higher level of combat power.

Bai Rui and the other man looked at each other and both felt that the stuff inside must be extraordinary.

"Tsk."

Looking at the factory building quietly lurking in the darkness, Bai Rui shook his head.

"Can't you keep your own things better? Even something as important as active metal can leak out. Shouldn't this be a creation of the highest security level?"

"do not know."

"what?"

Bai Rui was a little surprised by Blue Eyes' answer.

"I have no idea how the shipment got lost. I thought the biotechs were just digging up some of the waste we had buried deep underground."

"But they had a lot more reactive metals than I expected."

"After a thorough investigation of the company, I am convinced that someone stole the active metals stored in our company."

"But whoever did it, no matter whether it was surveillance or other detection methods, could find the person who secretly stole the company's creations."

"The other party is either very powerful or knows Ye's company well enough."

Bai Ruike didn't expect that his casual mention would involve so many things.

It seems that this commission is more dangerous than she believed.

An out-of-control research center.

It also involves a person who treats the company as if it were his own secret notebook and can take whatever he wants.

So tricky...

Yes.

Need to pay more.

Bai Rui nodded in agreement, thinking that he must get more gold coins from Lao Deng.

......

The two men passed through the blockade and entered the dilapidated factory building, and went underground through the exaggerated circular door that looked like a nuclear war shelter.

“These companies are really generous.”

Bai Rui quickly scanned the information about the R&D center given by Blue Eyes and was amazed.

The underground R&D center is hundreds of meters deep and is shaped like an inverted cone. It becomes narrower as it goes down. In the middle is a huge freight elevator that reaches the deepest part.

What they need to do is to enter the freight elevator, go down to the 45th floor underground, and retrieve the lost active metal.

None of the Ye family’s special agents who entered earlier achieved their goal.

And now, it's their turn.

"Wait, this is..."

After taking a few steps and entering a slightly empty hall, V discovered something unusual.

A helmet fell to the ground, with bullet holes around it and hideous trails of blood.

"It's from the Ye family's special agent team."

The bodies of the defeated Ye's special agents disappeared, leaving behind only some broken guns and bullet shells, and this helmet at their feet.

V's eyes became serious.

No matter who the enemy is, it is definitely not easy to destroy the elite corporate mercenaries with almost no resistance.

Just by looking at the messy bloodstains on the ground, V could imagine the panic-stricken scene of the special agents.

"Bai Rui, cover me."

V gave instructions, squatted down and picked up the helmet, solemnly scanning the scratches on the helmet, and V removed the memory card from the helmet's micro camera slot.
