Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

"Phew - you're finally back, we're so worried."

Salsa seemed to be online all the time, which moved Luo Qi a little.

He disappeared for such a long time, all he needed was one person to wait for his news, and the others could take a nap first to recharge their batteries.

"I'm sorry, Arasaka and these dogs have made you worry by sticking around."

Rocky whistled that he was OK.

Hearing his relaxed tone, the others were relieved, and all kinds of complaints came one after another.

"Okay, now call the tsunami, it's time to give them something."

Luo Qi tilted his mouth, showing a helpless expression that only he could see.

The AI ​​is self-destructing, and they can't hand over anything.

But, the team members can be paid from their own accounts, and they won't have any losses. The one who lost 300 million is Luo Qi, but it will be replaced by an AI that is about to be backed up.

I don't know if it's worth it or not.

Valuable intelligence to some may be worthless rubbish to others, who knows?

"I'm done, the coordinates have been sent, come and pick us up."

Luo Qi was too lazy to call out the code name, and said directly.

There is no need for such a thing as a one-line connection and a code name, even if it is intercepted and wiretapped, it doesn't matter.

"Received, heading to where you are."

The other party's reply was very formulaic, which made Luo Qi feel a little boring.

The personalities of the security guards of these companies are all carved out of a mold, rigid and without personality.

Luo Qi wanted to sleep after a few words with them.

[Backup progress? 】

Being idle and bored, and unable to chat with this system that only gives feedback when performing operations, Luo Qi had no choice but to ask about the progress.

[Current progress, 84.3%...]

Hearing this number, Luo Qi nodded silently.

Speed ​​is okay.

And not long after, in the darkness in the distance, a convoy drove over.

However, compared with Arasaka's search team, they are very shabby. Not only do they not have heavy drone escorts, but the number of vehicles and personnel equipment has also been significantly reduced by one level, but the grade has gone up instead.

After all, Tsunami's own troops are equipped with their own high-end goods.

"here."

Luo Qi was too lazy to stand up, just sat cross-legged, raised his right hand high, and then waved towards them.

The vehicle stopped about ten meters away from him.

Five vehicles, all with various light and heavy types of on-board weapons, ranging from heavy machine guns to cannons.

Although the number is small, the firepower is absolutely worthy of Arasaka's security.

Luo Qi nodded, not satisfied with Tsunami Company's attitude, but he didn't have much opinion.

Whether it is a team of trucks that look like real ones, or a false target sent into the air, the troops that block Arasaka on the ground, and the support they receive from outside the city, are all the property of Tsunami Corporation.

Say it bluntly.

Tonight, they lost all kinds of human, material and financial resources, far exceeding 300 million European dollars.

The same goes for Arasaka.

What Luo Qi did was to come up with suggestions, and then implement all of them himself. It is indeed not a small amount to get this amount of remuneration.

"What about the goods?"

A man dressed as a non-commissioned officer stepped out of the car and asked Luo Qi.

"Here."

Luo Qi gestured with his chin to approximate the location of the camouflage net, "Do you go on your own or do I have to follow?"

"Don't worry about it—"

The non-commissioned officer followed behind Luo Qi, but the tone of his words became more and more strange, and by the time he reached the last word, he had become a little ferocious.

It's just that a look of astonishment gradually appeared on his face.

Because he suddenly found out that his outstretched left hand, the Mantis Knife that was ejected suddenly, was easily pinched by someone's hand.

And with only two fingers, it seemed that what was caught was not a sharp blade that could easily cut or pierce a human body, but a small dish.

What's even more frightening is that Luo Qi, who made this action, didn't even look back.

"why?"

He subconsciously said this sentence.

"why?"

The same sentence was asked back from the mouth of the person he attempted to attack.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!boom! !boom! ! !

In an instant, a storm-like barrage swept past Luo Qi's position, including a series of machine guns and machine gun shells, and even two large-caliber sniper shells.

But what was left to them was only a distorted afterimage that slowly disappeared in place.

And a non-commissioned officer's head that was cut off by the broken blade of his mantis knife and flew high.

In addition, the bullets that flew over did not know when, and the bodies of the three soldiers whose heads were blown off.

As for the sand dune where Luo Qi was in the last moment, most of it was cut off mercilessly, just like the moon gnawed off by a tengu, showing the projection of the edge of yin and yang in the dim night.

They can see almost all the scenery within a few kilometers.

Only the figure could not be found.

"The target vision is lost!!"

At the same time, on the back of another taller sand dune tens of meters away, Luo Qi leaned half in the shadow, flicked his right hand, and casually flung away the broken blade of the praying mantis knife that was about a foot long.

The blade was carried by its own weight, and it was inserted into the sand, and dots of blood fell on the ground.

This guy's assassination angle is very creative, but it's a pity that he is a soft-footed shrimp, otherwise he might really be able to poke a spark into Luo Qi's charged starburst shield.

Luo Qi was the one who slept with the Mantis Knife on his pillow most of the night.

Compared with Melissa, his Praying Mantis Knife is almost no different from that of a beginner.

call--

His chest heaved slightly, and he took a slow, steady, deep breath.

Then he took out three loose bullets from the interlayer, and filled them one by one into the hot RT-46 storm in the muzzle.

What Luo Qi didn't expect was that the first time the inner ghost experienced the tsunami defense system was when he met with the support troops.

It's really... surprising.

This method of stabbing in the back is unexpected, but it is not very clever.

[Backup progress? 】

Luo Qi didn't rush to fight back or flee in a hurry, but stood still and quietly analyzed and thought about the countermeasures under the cover of the shadow.

In just a few seconds, the flashy battle did not start, but a huge amount of information flashed through my mind.

[Current progress, 92.5%...]

He still needs about 3 minutes.

This time is not long, or in other words, it is easy to pass in a flash.

But in front of a group of enemies who wanted his life, the 3 minutes seemed to pass a little slowly.

Luo Qi had to stay within [-] meters of the signal range.

Then do the damn backup.

If it is said that he just had the mentality of "deliver if you can deliver, and pull down if you can't", then he has no burden at all now.

After all, being backstabbed is not a pleasant experience.

"Search this area, be quick!"

The non-commissioned officer who came out to talk was instantly killed, and a leading officer who seemed to have a higher military rank than him was shocked and at the same time grateful——

Fortunately, it was not me who was face to face with the other party.

But he also felt another kind of pressure.

They should have joined forces with Arasaka's troops when they were responding, and attacked the people escorting the warehouse from both sides, and won easily.

But who knew that the accompanying mercenaries had lost all news, as if they had evaporated, without any signal.

For a moment, they almost thought that a third-party force intervened and robbed the goods halfway.

But fortunately, after Arasaka realized that their search might be in the wrong direction, he finally used a false safety window to bluff them out.

Although they failed to seize this backstab opportunity.

But it doesn't matter.

In a few minutes, Arasaka's reinforcements would retake the place.

As for the office of the tsunami defense system responsible for this matter, it has been blinded and deafed by the inner ghost without knowing it.

By the time they knew what happened, the warehouse would have been taken away.

The few support teams began to advance forward under the cover of military vehicles.

When the other party relaxed his vigilance just now, he made it clear that——

The warehouse is hidden in this direction.

However, just as they crossed a small sand dune, a slightly distant sound suddenly came from the shadow behind the side.

boom--! !

A soldier with his head exposed immediately fell to his death at the position of the vehicle's machine gun, and his brain sprayed a large area of ​​the bulletproof armor plate.

The surrounding soldiers quickly retracted their necks and began to hide.

The scanner is running at full power, but it only scans the quiet dunes, as if no one has ever been there.

"Mr. Lucky!"

The unbearable dead silence lasted for a while, first came the voice of shouting from the inner ghost army of the tsunami.

"I'm Captain Kazuki Yamamoto, can we talk!"

The officer leading the team thought for a while, then picked up the microphone, and began to transmit the sound to the opposite side of the dune with the car speaker.

"...I want to talk to you too."

After a short pause, Luo Qi's voice also appeared on the back of the dunes.

"Put down your weapons first, there is plenty of time to talk."

"Mr. Lucky, I am Kazuki Yamamoto, the name of Mr. Jiuwen."

The guy from the tsunami support team said, "With all due respect, there are not many mercenaries in Night City who can be called heroes. But Mr. Lucky is an exception. Even the intelligence department of our Arasaka company thinks that your attack is worthwhile." Three million euros. A mercenary who is worthy of such an evaluation is considered a worthwhile life, and I sincerely admire it."

"Seeing you today, Mister really lived up to his reputation. He was able to seize the opportunity and turn defeat into victory, which is rare in Night City."

His voice traveled far in the Badlands, but there was no echo.

In the middle of the road, most of it has been blown away by the wind.

"Now is not the time to flatter. There is so much nonsense."

Luo Qi's voice appeared behind the sand dunes again, seemingly hesitant and decisive.

"Okay, let's make a long story short."

Kazuki Yamamoto saw that there was something to talk about, and his expression showed a little joy.
