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

Before he could finish, his body suddenly shook slightly and the Delaman taxi stopped.

"Thank you for choosing Delaman Travel Services. Good luck." Delaman's synthetic pale face said. "I will wait here for you to come back."

"Finally the time has come..." Jack shook his head and sighed, then opened the door and got out of the car. "Oh, I almost forgot, you can't bring a gun, right?"

V cursed in frustration before he could finish his words, and had no choice but to get off the car.

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on Jack." Arnold, who was wearing sunglasses, got out of the car, closed the door, and turned to V, who looked a little worried. "As long as I'm here, there won't be any trouble."

"Uh...well, thank you, brother Arnold!" V nodded gratefully.

Without replying, Arnold nodded silently and followed Jack, but V, who was standing still, frowned in confusion.

Why does the tone of this Arnold brother's speech sound a little familiar?

V touched his smooth chin and felt a little surprised at his guess.

After all, Arnold is Arnold, how could he be similar to someone else?

"Hey, 'Ms. Ramon', 'Mr. Williams', what are you two waiting for?" In front of the luxurious hotel building, Jack was already standing on the red carpet steps waiting for the two of them, carrying a box containing a crew cut.

V shook her head, dispelled the doubts in her mind, and followed in her high heels.

"We're at the door, BUG." V communicated in his mind.

"Remember, I booked it under your name—Ramon."

"You need to look for Takigawa Hatsu, the representative of Arasaka's military technology department. The file is for the crew-head."

"Don't worry, I know." said Jack, who was striding ahead carrying the box.

The Ganbi Building is worthy of being a business hotel that specializes in accommodating upper-class people. The main colors of gray, black and gold combine luxury and low-keyness very harmoniously.

The lines of the interior layout and decoration are straight, and the simple business design saves a lot of unnecessary complexity, making people feel relaxed with the core of luxury.

In the spacious and solemn hall, where even a pin drop could make a sound, people come and go, all wearing high-end suits and dresses. The men are tall and strong, and the women have gorgeous curves, which complement the elegant interior design.

As soon as he took the first step, Bai Rui shook his head and sighed.

He has fallen into a money-spending trap.

Let alone others, look at Jack, looking around, isn't his eyes dizzy?

"Welcome to the Ganbi Building. Please line up and pass through one by one." In front of all this luxury are cold security personnel in suits and scanning security checkpoints.

"Sure, bro-uh sir."

Jack was the first to step into the security checkpoint. The dark blue waves detected the area, but as soon as they touched Jack, they turned red and issued a piercing alarm.

"Hmm, wait a minute, there's a problem." The security guard wearing sunglasses reached out to stop Jack. "Sir, can you please explain why you brought a combat robot into the territory of the Blue Bi Building?"

"We are arms dealers, and we are here to meet representatives from the military technology department." V came out to help.

At this time, hearing the noise here, a man covered in gold, who looked like the lobby manager, walked over.

"Ah, you're here to look for Takigawa-kun, right?"

The lobby manager asked, and as soon as I heard the stuttering accent, I knew that this guy was Japanese.

"Oh, we made a mistake just now. I'm so sorry."

In full implementation of the principle of craftsmanship, the manager first apologized while bowing to the three people.

"Hmm..." Jack snorted disdainfully and just kept moving forward, just like a corporate employee should do.

"The scan won't take long, ma'am."

The next person to be scanned was V. Soon the machine found nothing abnormal, and V stepped forward. Next, it was Arnold's turn.

Although he may have forgotten, Arnold is indeed a robot. It would be a lot of fun if he passed through the security gate without any preparation. Fortunately, Bai Rui had taught Arnold a tough job before he came. He used the knowledge he learned from Xiao Pingtai's hiding system and the police anti-detection module he bought from the black market.

The function is nothing special, it just allows Arnold to appear like a human being under the detector. Maybe he can't pass the scan of the company's most advanced technology, but it is enough to get through the security gate of this hotel.

Arnold stepped into the security gate and the faint blue light swept over him again.

The glasses worn by the security guard were directly connected to the security inspection system. He frowned and looked at it for a while. There was indeed only the thermal image of the tall man on it, so he nodded and let him go.

Only after stepping inside did Bai Rui feel relieved.

Successful.

Not only did it let Arnold in, but also the projectile system on his arm.

However, Bai Rui has not let her guard down. She knows that entering the Ganbi Building is just the beginning.

Seeing that Jack and V were already at the front desk, Bai Rui quickly controlled Arnold to go up.

Chapter 56: Three heroes sneak into the hotel, the flat-headed guy drills a hole to show his power

Bai Rui's car was hidden in a shabby alley nearby. Listening to the faint sound of waves lapping, she could see the towering dark blue building through the car window. As long as she stepped on the accelerator, she could crash into it in less than twenty seconds - the front of the car was specially reinforced for gangs to use to ram the bulletproof windows of shops.

"Bai Rui, are you there?" Bai Rui tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, waiting anxiously, but suddenly V's voice came from the headset.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Bai Rui answered immediately, but why did V contact him suddenly? Was there an unexpected change in the plan? Bai Rui's mind couldn't help but tense up as he thought about it.

"It's okay, it's just... Jack's condition isn't quite right. How should I put it, he seems a little abnormal today." V's expression in the video was full of worry, both about this commission and about his good brother Jack.

"It's okay, I'm here." Hearing that it was about Jack, Bai Rui breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was not so nervous anymore, because this was a situation in the plot and was within her plan.

"Don't worry, I'm here, you can run away at any time, no problem!" Bai Rui assured again that she had been preparing for this mission for a long time, and unless ten heavy hammers came out, she could save the lives of these two reckless guys.

"Okay, that's fine..." V hung up the phone, but her brows were still furrowed. Bai Rui's words made her feel strangely familiar. This tone was indeed Bai Rui's, but why did she seem to have heard it somewhere else?

Without mentioning V's doubts, Bai Rui sat in the car and relaxed.

At this last moment, she actually slowly calmed down.

Perhaps it was because the plan had been rehearsed many times. After calming down, Bai Rui once again reaffirmed her idea that she must get the relic chip.

"I'll rely on you to eat. Welcome to the Blue Bi Building."

The three people who passed the security check came to the front desk to check in. As soon as they stepped forward, the etiquette lady at the front desk, whose entire metal surface was covered with gold paint, immediately bowed and saluted in plastic Japanese.

"Let's go through the process of taking over." V stepped forward to deal with her.

"Okay, no problem. Please wait a moment." The etiquette lady bowed slightly again. There was nothing wrong with the cold business etiquette.

"May I ask what name you reserved for your reservation?"

"Victorino." Jack said the fake name.

"A double bed room, three adults... one night. Right?" When talking about a double bed room, three adults, the etiquette lady glanced at the two big guys on the left and right and the petite V in the middle, and her tone was a little hesitant.

"Yes, that's right!" In response to the other party's hesitation, V glared back with his hands folded.

"Okay... I'll let you know that you three have arrived. Please wait a moment."

"Damn, no, this will disrupt the plan. Stop her, V, hold her off!" BUG's urgent voice suddenly came from the encrypted channel.

"Don't bother to notify him." V immediately stopped the etiquette lady who was about to make a phone call. "Let's go back to the room and pack up, and we'll go find him later."

“But, isn’t Takigawa-san waiting for you guys…?” Miss Etiquette was a little hesitant about this unruly thing.

"Miss, do you know how long it took us to get here? It took us eighteen hours to get here from New Barossa!" Jack came out to help, and his voice drew the etiquette lady's attention to him.

"There was also a cyber madman who blew himself into pieces at the terminal in Meta Port, which delayed him for quite a while..." Jack said, while looking at V, signaling her to say a few words quickly.

"Yeah, it's so scary..." V also said hurriedly.

As for Arnold, he remained silent.

"Of course, I understand." The etiquette lady seemed convinced. "The room has been prepared for you. It's the Lapis Lazuli Suite Room on the 42nd floor."

"Oh, there is one more small formality... Please verify your SID chip."

"Then come on, Harry." Jack turned his head and gestured.

Seeing that the problem was solved, V felt relieved and walked forward confidently.

DeShawn did have some tricks up his sleeve after all. He had made up all the information about the relationship between the two of them and the materials that needed to be forged. Even if the two of them really went to meet with Mr. Takigawa, there would be no problem in finalizing the deal.

"New Barcelona? Really?" BUG's voice came from the channel.

"It's called improvisation—you should try it, too."

After verifying the information, the three of them walked up the stairs and into the magnificent hall.

"What do you think, 'Harry'?" Jack said but suddenly mentioned V's pseudonym.

"Huh?" V almost didn't react that Jack was calling him.

"It's classy and comfortable. But not as comfortable as the hotel we stayed in when we had a meeting in Zurich." Jack was obviously getting carried away with his acting.

"Stop joking, Jack. That's enough." Jack felt a little proud again after hearing this, and BUG came out to pour cold water on him.

"What? I'm serious!" Jack curled his lips in vain.

On the way to the elevator, the three of them passed by the bar area in the lobby. The hostesses who were smiling warmly all the time and the gold-painted red wine bottles immediately attracted Jack's attention.

"You can bring Misty over someday. Wait for us to, um... finish this order." Jack looked out for a while as he walked, then shook his head regretfully.

This guy Jack really seems to like money.

Bai Rui controlled Arnold and could clearly see the envy on Jack's face.

Maybe it's not that they like money, but they like this kind of exquisite, comfortable and easy life, rather than living in the hail of bullets all day long. Between the two, who would be willing to choose the latter?

But 99.99 percent of the people in Night City have no choice. They start in the second hell from birth. And now, the opportunity to succeed is in front of Jack. There is a reason why he is so excited.

But, Jack, you have set this flag so many times. If the game mission process is arranged like this and you don’t die, it would be a shame to all the flags you set before.

Arnold shook his head and looked towards the bar area.

I remember there was an easter egg character in it, Xiaoniao Xiutian was there being interviewed.

Xiaotiao Xiutian, you are not in the studio at all, you are death stranded.

"Don't worry, it will happen sooner or later. Now just focus on your work." V advised Jack, and Jack nodded with a little regret, and the three of them walked towards the elevator together again.

"How about it? I'm a man wearing a suit now, haha, am I handsome?" After entering the elevator, Jack looked at the developing elevator wall and showed off his tie.

"Well, not bad, and looks quite human." Seeing Jack's look, V smiled helplessly with his hands folded.

"How about you? You don't look human anymore when you put it on?" But Jack obviously didn't have that self-awareness and felt that V was not acknowledging the reality.

But Bai Rui said that the two men were the same. Jack looked like a bartender in his suit, and V looked like a company agent. Neither of them looked like the kind of business elites who could easily make millions.

"I say, Jack, you look good in a suit, but you need to change your hairstyle."

Bai Rui was speechless when he saw Jack's samurai-like hair style. He thought he should at least get some golden curls like Superboy to get rid of his street style.

"Well, well, I'll definitely go to the barber shop if I get a chance." Listening to what Arnold said, Jack touched his hair, and seemed to feel that it didn't match his suit, so he nodded angrily.

While they were talking, the elevator arrived. The three of them walked out, passed through the corridor where the floor and walls were reflective, opened the door of the reserved room and walked in.

"Okay, here we are. The Lapis Lazuli Suite," Jack exclaimed, placing the small flat-top case on the table. "How stylish. Too bad we can't stay the night. Good taste, BUG."

"I didn't choose it for style. It's the fastest way to get to the network management and servers."

"Yes, yes, I remember." Jack spread his hands helplessly.

"Now open your crew cutters and find the entrance to the ventilation shaft."

"It sounds simple." V nodded.

"Sometimes... the simpler it is, the more difficult it is." BUG said lightly.

"Who said it this time, Aurelius? Or Aristotle?" Jack joked as he untied his small flat box.

"Thanks for the compliment, that's what I said."

"Where is the exhaust vent?" While the two were talking, V was already scanning the room trying to find the vent mentioned in the BUG.

"Start the scan and look around." Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, BUG instantly became serious.

"Found it." V turned on the prosthetic eye scanning system, and with the help of the Qilusi Type III high-tech, he quickly found the ventilation shaft.

"Good, Jack, how's Crew Head?"

"Everything is fine."

Jack also debugged the spider-like Xiao Pingtai.
