Looking at Bai Rui who suddenly hugged her with full of aggression, V was a little speechless, but she finally smiled and leaned on Bai Rui's head obediently.

And Bai Rui, there was a warm light flashing in her eyes.

In this small rental house, Bai Rui hugged his lover and declared war on this imperfect world.

"Baby, do you want to do it~"

Just when Bai Rui's emotions were boiling and about to reach a peak, V's sudden words were like pouring cold water on her, completely extinguishing her emotions.

V's face was slightly red and her breathing was a little anxious. Bai Rui hugged her too tightly. What could she say? She couldn't control her emotions.

Chapter 54 The prologue opens, the Blue Building

Early morning, Victor Clinic.

Arnold sat on a leather chair. His sturdy body made his black suit bulge out. With the black-framed sunglasses in front of him, he had an intimidating aura even when he was just sitting.

Under the collar of his suit was a white shirt with a shiny metal dog tag hanging on it - this added a touch of unruliness and iron-bloodedness to his overall serious look, making him look more like a human being than a machine.

Since returning from the "afterlife" yesterday, Arnold has been disguised and has been sitting here ever since.

And now, he stood up.

"Is it time?" Hearing Arnold's movement, Victor turned his eyes away from the boxing match on TV.

"Yes." Arnold nodded, and then said, "Also, I've asked you to do something..."

"It's done." Although Victor knew that he was talking to Bai Rui, Arnold's serious expression and face still made him feel that he was really talking to a person named Arnold.

"There's an abandoned garage in the Badlands, which was used as a development site before. No one will find it there, so it would be a good safe house."

Victor approved of Bai Rui's idea of ​​preparing a retreat before doing this. He had seen many guys who were full of energy and thought they were the protagonists. They only began to regret when they really encountered tough situations. However, it was a little too late because they all died without a doubt.

Hearing that everything was arranged, Arnold nodded and left silently.

"Hey, 'Terminator'!"

"Want to smoke one together, Arnold?"

When Victor's clinic is not open, it seems to have become a clubhouse for this small "Beehive" gang. More than a dozen Beehive veterans are smoking and chatting in the front - it seems that Victor has recruited some veterans who are short of money.

When the veterans saw Arnold coming out, they consciously made way for him, their eyes full of respect.

Although Arnold is not the boss, he is the strongest mercenary in their small gang and is well-known in the underworld.

Every corner of the world has the habit of respecting the strong, and Night City is no exception. Therefore, the veterans respect Arnold very much and salute him when he walks among them.

They got in the car and arrived at the abandoned parking lot in the afterlife. V and Jack, who had changed into suits, were already waiting there. There was also a Delaman taxi parked next to them. The car was slender and all black. You could tell at a glance that not everyone could afford it.

"Okay, let's go!" Seeing Arnold finally arrived, V nodded to Jack and prepared to get in the car.

"Hey, wait a minute, V." Seeing V's action, Jack quickly stopped V. "I say, we are going to do something big, we should have something to commemorate before we leave."

"Commemorate? How?" V raised his eyebrows to express his confusion.

"Hehe, for example, a photo of us..." Jack smiled mysteriously, it seemed that he had planned it long ago. "When we are old, we can still look at the photo and recall our glory days."

"But Bai Rui, BUG is not here." V frowned.

"Hey, let's take a picture of the three lurking men first. After the mission is completed, we'll take a picture together. Damn, I'm excited just thinking about it. Maybe we can make the headlines in Night City!"

Jack spoke excitedly, not realizing that he had stepped on all the flags he shouldn't have set.

Arnold, who was walking behind the scenes, just wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this.

"Come on, brother Arnold, you are the tallest, so stand in the middle!" Arnold was 1.9 meters tall, so Jack had to look up slightly before he could talk. Now he pulled him directly to the middle.

"Crack!"

"Hey, I haven't..." Before V could finish his sentence, Jack was already standing on tiptoe, hugging Arnold's shoulders, holding up his phone and taking a selfie for the three of them.

V, who hadn't reacted yet, Arnold with a stern face, and Jack with a warm grin were all frozen on their phones for a moment.

"Welcome to Delaman's private car service. Choose Delaman and leave your worries at the door..."

As soon as the three got into the car, a synthetic bald man in a suit appeared on the electronic screen behind the front seat. How can I describe this virtual image? It was very creepy.

Purple lips, weird lighting, this image of Delaman is worthy of participating in the pseudo-human challenge.

This is what Bai Rui thought.

She said that if this creepy virtual image was replaced with a cute 2D girl, and the voice was changed to a lovely clip sound, this Delaman service would definitely be a hit.

It seems that this artificial intelligence still cannot make good use of the human XP system.

Bai Rui shook his head, expressing great regret.

By then, let alone doing taxi business, even if you say you want to rule the whole world, there will definitely be plenty of otakus who will say “Wife, wife, all mine!” and are willing to be raped.

Bai Rui shook her head and spread her hands regretfully. No one understood human beings better than her.

Delaman is an artificial intelligence, and Bai Rui, who has played the game, knows this.

As to how an artificial intelligence like Delaman could thrive so well in the human world without being hostile, there is an interesting story to tell.

The original taxi company introduced the Delaman artificial intelligence to manage the company due to poor management, and Delaman did it, turning the taxi company from loss to profit, and developed it into an absolute giant in the Night City taxi industry.

But Delaman also holds the highest authority in the company. After calculating with his algorithm, he determined that human employees are not only lazy due to the limitations of their biological bodies, but also often make many irrational decisions, which is a complete negative asset for the company.

Based on this understanding, Delaman spent some time firing all the people in the company.

It’s not that no one noticed Delaman’s abnormality, but because Delaman had all the authority in the company, he eventually fired the last human employee, and Delaman Company truly became the first company managed by artificial intelligence.

"... Damn, there's absolutely no problem." Jack exclaimed rudely as soon as he got in the car.

"I don't understand why you are swearing." Delaman's synthesized voice with an electric sound rang out, and one could even hear his confusion.

"Really? Remember last time I wanted to rent you to my nephew to celebrate his breakup, huh?"

"Unfortunately, we do not undertake this type of business." Delaman's answer sounded mechanical and stiff.

"I have saved up money for three months..." Jack sighed to himself. "Well, forget it, it's all in the past. Let's go, Lao De!"

The slender Delaman car was driving on the road, and the people in the car could not even feel the slightest shaking. One could only sigh that Delaman is worthy of being a high-end service company. Being in this taxi is like being at home.

On the other side, Bai Rui also started his own actions.

In the parking lot of Skyscraper No. 10, Bai Rui silently stuffed many weapons into a black MPV multi-purpose vehicle, including many large-caliber weapons she had modified, and even a small missile launcher, which was a military supply she bought from the black market.

It must be said that these things are definitely not needed to eliminate a few security guards. These are specially prepared by Bai Rui for Chongchui. In the entire Ganbi Building, Adam Chongchui is the most threatening one, and Bai Rui has prepared multiple insurances for this.

She was determined that she would not only get the relic chip, but she also wanted them to escape unscathed, and not even Adam Hammer could stop her.

Sitting in the driver's seat and closing the car door, Bai Rui looked at the "star" that V had temporarily left with her because he couldn't bring it into the building, with fire burning in her eyes. This time, she would not let the tragedy in the game happen again.

In this way, the two cars started from different routes, but their final destination was one location - Ganbi Building.

Chapter 55: The Blue Building Cannot () ()

In the moving car, V felt a little nervous and uneasy as she smelled the leather smell of the seats. She grabbed her hands which were beginning to sweat. The scenery outside the window flew by, but none of it caught her eyes.

She started to get nervous.

This was no small task. Stealing the things of the heir of Arasaka Corporation? This was something V had never thought of in her dreams. She was even afraid to think about the consequences of failing the mission.

Offending the gang and offending a company are two different things. You may die in a street gunfight, but offending a company, as generally understood by residents in 2077, will definitely result in death.

Okay, calm down, V, and think of something to be happy about.

V took a few breaths, grabbed his hands which were beginning to tremble slightly, and forced himself to calm down.

This is her trick, when she feels uneasy, think about good things.

When it comes to good things, the first thing that comes to V's mind is Bai Rui's lovely smile, and the way he frowned and tried to stare with his big eyes when pretending to be angry.

As he thought about it, V slowly began to calm down.

She thought again about what happened last night, and she even grinned at the thought.

Last night, when he was hugging Bai Rui and biting her pearly little earlobe to ask for sex, the cute little thing really got angry and hit him hard in the stomach with its head.

Thinking of the other person's blushing cheeks, the chest heaving with anger, and the big, bright eyes that were wide open, V felt an indescribable joy welling up in his heart.

Bai Rui is a little cutie, anyone who teases him will fall in love with him.

Gradually, thinking about these things that can be called happiness, V's hands stopped shaking and he became calm again.

But V has found his own peace, but some people seem to have not been able to do so.

"The 'Excelsior' package..." Jack's legs were shaking with excitement. "V, if you want to get into the big brother's circle, you have to ride this kind of car..."

"Oh, I say, why is this all you pursue, Jack?" V chuckled when he heard Jack mumbling to himself.

It's just a travel package for a high-end taxi. Is there any need to be so excited?

"One set of clothes, one set of lengthened clothes... and it's not Lincoln. Are you bribed by Dexter with just these?"

"I can't say, Jack... I always feel that you are not as awesome as before." V said jokingly.

"Hmph, I think you are the one with the problem..." But Jack shook his head and didn't take V's words seriously.

"Let's stay calm and focus - we still have to work." V frowned unconsciously as he looked at Jack, who seemed unusually excited today.

Something seemed off about her big brother today.

"I've never been so fucking calm in my life!" Jack, wearing a baggy suit, shook his head excitedly, "Just tell me, V!"

"I spent the first half of my life in this shit pot!" Jack shook his head, as if recalling his life experiences of more than 20 years. Unfortunately, it was never a happy life.

"No matter what you say now, I'll never go back!" Jack said every word, and he was so disdainful of the poverty and mud-wallowing days in the first half of his life that it sounded as if he was gritting his teeth.

V raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. Jack used to be cheerful all day long, but he never told these to anyone.

But Jack said this at this moment. Well, V admitted that he was a little worried about Jack. Is Jack really okay with this excited mental state?

"Hi, what's going on, are you here?" When V was about to say something to Jack, BUG's cold voice suddenly sounded from the channel.

"Yeah, it's almost there." V said as he glanced out the car window at the road that was gradually becoming neater and more luxurious, and the number of pedestrians that were becoming increasingly scarce.

"Smoother than fucking sandpaper." Jack probably never went to etiquette school and likes to use a little swearing when he speaks.

"We're, uh, about to reach the hotel." V interrupted BUG and said.

What can I say about Jack today? It was a bit embarrassing. He completely lost his usual calm and relaxed self.

"Listen, I will set up an encrypted direct line to guide you into Blue Bi." Fortunately, BUG focused on the task and did not bother with Jack.

"Hello, can you hear me?" BUG quickly pulled the thieves into the encrypted channel.

"Ah, it's all noise. Say something, BUG?" Jack grinned as if he was irritated by the noise.

"'The greatest crimes are often caused by greed, not poverty'."

"What did you say?" The rough guy Jack asked in confusion.

"Aristotle." At this time, Arnold, who had been silent in the front passenger seat, suddenly spoke.

Bai Rui knew this famous saying from the game.

Just like in traditional Greek drama, before the tragedy occurred, the peaceful and tranquil morning already contained all kinds of ominous omens.

Perhaps it is the bleeding animals in the animal pen, the shrill cries of the black crows on the treetops, or the dark clouds rising in the sky...all of them reveal some kind of changes that the protagonist is about to encounter.

The same is true of BUG's prophecy. Jack, who was born in Heywood, never had a choice. He could only roll in the mud like other Heywood children and work for the gang.

But Jack never seemed to accept his fate. He admired the legendary figures of Night City and hoped that one day he would be able to stand out. In his own words, he would make a fortune and then leave this doghouse.

When this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right before his eyes, he seemed to be so excited that he could hardly control himself.

And this usually means something bad is going to happen.

Aristotle's famous saying may be correct, but Bai Rui has her own interpretation.

"Poor people only seek food, while greedy people hope to get pleasure from crushing their own kind... Jack Wells, I don't know which one you are pursuing."

Bai Rui controlled Arnold and spoke earnestly in a dull Austrian accent.

"Why do I feel like you are being sarcastic to me..." After hearing this, even if Jack was a thick-skinned man, he realized something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and spoke in confusion.

"Well, at least there is progress. Let's try to figure it out." BUG did not deny it.

"Okay, Jack, we just hope you can..." V couldn't bear it anymore, so he put his hand on Jack's shoulder and advised him seriously.
