Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 170 Johnny Silverhand is coming in!

The bullet burned his abdomen, and each breath felt like inhaling shards of glass.

Jack clutched his abdominal wound, wincing in pain. Even a tough guy like him couldn't help but shiver. The life force was draining from his body, and the symphony of death grew ever more thunderous and magnificent.

The story begins just before the security door closed.

[Ten minutes before the security door closed]

"Before we begin the mission, let's take a look at the situation inside the room."

V scanned the area, its prosthetic eye displaying a dense array of data.

"Although the possibility is slim, we need to ensure an escape route should an emergency occur."

Jack was a bit confused. He was actually a bit of a brute, and once he got the mission assignment, he would just do it. Compared to executing tactics, he was more meticulous in his dealings with people.

V knew this, so he simply took over the responsibility without much hesitation.

(First of all, the main gate is made of very thick alloy material, making it difficult to break through from either the inside or outside.)
(There is a secret passage. There is an exhaust pipe that can be passed through by small robots, but if a person wants to get in, they would probably have to use all their ninja skills and dislocate their entire joints.)
She glanced at Jack's large frame.

(Even if I could, Jack couldn't.)
So the only remaining option is to go directly to the outside passageway via the balcony.

V had anticipated this situation, so he specifically wore molecular threads, which could be used as ropes when necessary to reduce the risk factor. His combat suit also incorporated advanced technology to increase friction.

There is only one route, but
V looked towards the balcony.

"There are almost no obstructions"

It would be dangerous to be exposed to enemy fire.

But the probability of that is too low. Unless the other side is going to launch a combat airship, something like that. How much trouble would we have to cause for that to happen?

[Whoosh! ————Whoosh——————]

The wind howled, and Lu Mingfei's notification tone came from the other end of the earpiece. It was at this moment that V and Jack finally learned who their employer was going to negotiate with.

[Arasaka Saburo, the person Arasaka Yorinobu is dealing with is Arasaka Saburo.]

Saburo Arasaka, Emperor of the Arasaka Empire.

"My grass!"

Jack yelled, and even V was briefly stunned.

A short while later, Lu Mingfei and V exchanged their last communication records, and then cut off the communication device to avoid being noticed by Arasaka's employees.

However, V's 'intuition' is getting worse and worse.

Why Saburo Arasaka?

Given Arasaka Yorinobu's 'persona,' it's quite normal for him to deliberately not tell Lu Mingfei and the others that his trading partner is Saburo.

But something's not right; I just feel like something's not right.
The security door opened, and Arasaka Yorinobu and Saburo entered the room.

Goro Takemura inspected the room, but before he could thoroughly check it, Saburo called him away, leaving the father and son to talk.

Do you think I wouldn't notice if I lost something?

I've never cared about what you think.

At first, they were just talking about business, but they quickly got to the point, and the tension between them intensified.

V, however, frowned more and more as he listened.

wrong.

Something still felt off.

—You think I wouldn't find out? Yes, Arasaka Yorinobu knew that Arasaka Saburo would come looking for him. In other words, all of Yorinobu's actions so far must be based on the fact that he knew he was going to face Arasaka Saburo.

Despite facing Saburo Arasaka, he chose Lu Mingfei as his bodyguard.

Why would they choose to plant two mercenaries in this secret room when faced with Saburo Arasaka?

is this necessary?

My intuition is screaming.

V gritted her teeth and made a decision.

Her beautiful neon-colored eyes glanced into the distance, pausing at a spot next to this hidden cubicle.

Then time began to pass.

The communication channel was turned off, but it turned back on automatically at some point.

When Arasaka Yorinobu grabbed Arasaka Saburo by the neck and slammed him into the area where he and Jack were hiding, Jack and V were both startled, but they felt that they could not go out at this time.

Even if you save Saburo Arasaka, he won't thank you.

The impact was so immense that neither of them could move.

until
Saburo Arasaka has completely collapsed.

"Grass!"

"Tsk!"

V gritted his teeth, said something to Jack, and then rushed out of the hidden room to face Arasaka Yorinobu.

"Ok?"

Lai Xuan looked at the two of them coldly.

"What are you doing! Why aren't you giving first aid? If it's just temporary suffocation, there should still be ways to help!"

"Do you really want to kill Saburo Arasaka?!"

"Or is this your purpose?!"

V's tone dropped drastically towards the end, as he saw Arasaka Yorinobu's expression shift from weariness at killing to a cold sneer, looking at him with a sarcastic expression.

"!!!"

This guy did it on purpose.

Just as Lu Mingfei had imagined, she immediately realized that she and the others were about to be framed!

Her body responded immediately.

He stepped forward, holding a gun, and fired at Lai Xuan's limbs!
—We must take him into custody immediately!

V thought this way and did this way, but unfortunately, she lacked the most fundamental 'numerical value'.

A shaky view, a blurry heartbeat.

Then the next moment.
Lai Xuan vanished from his sight. "Huh!?" V abruptly stopped, looking around in disbelief, but the next moment he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck, and a tremendous force shoved him against the glass window behind him! "Ugh! ——————"

boom!
It struck the glass window, causing cracks to appear.

V immediately adjusted her vision, forcing herself to see the man who was attacking her.

Arakasaka Yorinobu approached her calmly.

"You haven't even shown your face yet, don't die so easily."

".!"

V knew from that brief exchange that he couldn't defeat Lai Xuan head-on, and the security door had already been checked, so Lu Mingfei couldn't cross it either. That left only—

"Jack! Let's go!"

Lai Xuan raised an eyebrow. To be honest, he originally thought that the other mercenary would recklessly attack him, but he didn't expect that as soon as V spoke, he would turn around and smash the glass curtain wall with his gun!

The two rushed into the outer corridor of the Glamour Building, struggling to escape like walking a tightrope in the raging wind.

Lai Xuan looked at the two of them, paused for a moment, and then slowly summoned the airship.

Open up.

My father was murdered.

A red alert was issued for the entire Gum Pik Building.

The airship was deployed instantly.

Lai Xuan looked at the two people in the distance, slowly pulled out a gun from his waist, and aimed it at their hearts. His hand was very steady, obviously not the first time he had ever held a gun.

However, for some reason, after aiming, he moved his arm slightly to the side.

The fingers gradually contract inward.

"Ok?"

But for a moment, his movements stopped.

He noticed that the mercenary named Jack seemed to be holding something in his arms.

A medium-sized box.

That is
".hehe."

Lai Xuan didn't say anything.

He simply lowered his hand slowly.

"It saved me some trouble."

Da da da da da da da!!!

A hail of bullets pursued the two men. V and Jack dodged as much as they could, using their arms to block the bullets they couldn't avoid to prevent fatal injuries.

"Damn it! V! Why did you have to take this thing with you?!"

"Stop asking questions! We absolutely cannot let him go! This is our only hope of escaping!" V shouted amidst the live chat.

The "thing" she was referring to was that box.

Just now, while she was observing the entire room, she noticed that the temperature difference in one area was very unusual. After confirming the existence of a hidden compartment, V began to speculate about the existence of that thing.

[It's important to know that V and Jack were aware of what happened after Lai Xuan arrived in Night City.]

[For at least the past week, he has been keeping his consciousness logged onto the sex doll; with this behavior, his 'true body' certainly cannot move.]

The hotel records are easy to find, and all things considered, it can be quickly concluded that Lai Xuan has never left the Ganbi Building.

So, V knew that Lai Xuan had stolen Relic technology and come to Night City.

He couldn't possibly let go of something so important, because as a former employee of Arasaka, V knew that Raiken's situation within the company was already bad. Even a lowly Karami like herself knew that he was weak and had no one he could trust.

So she tried to find out what happened when Lai Xuan killed Saburo and realized that they would be framed. V knew that they had to take away something that gave them 'power' to speak. So she went to attract attention and try to suppress Lai Xuan. If she couldn't suppress him, she would ask Jack to take Relic away.

This is the decisiveness of a former elite corporate employee.

but.
"Damn it—the airship is targeting us!"

When the barrage of comments covered the two of them, V cursed loudly and pushed Jack towards the inside of the Azure Building!

The two slid along the glass, quickly shaking off their pursuers, and found a passageway leading to a server room.

Here, the two briefly slowed down to make corrections.

It was at this moment that Jack's fatal wound was discovered.

"Grass!"

V cursed loudly.

Even she didn't know what to do at that moment.

But soon, new possibilities emerged in her naturally gifted mind.

Lu Mingfei had explained to her that Relic is a demonic creature that can use a person's consciousness to cover their body and usurp their life.

However, in the process, he will transform the body of the person being altered into a form suitable for consciousness.

This effect is primarily concentrated in the brain region.

However, it can also affect other parts of the body.

A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.

Sure enough, when Jack opened the box, a pink Relic chip was revealed inside.

"God bless."

V took a deep breath, and then—inserted the relic chip into Jack.

The visual signal began to malfunction, and Jack made a series of muffled sounds in his throat, as if he was enduring some kind of excruciating pain that surpassed the bullet wound.

V looked at him; his condition did seem to have improved, but the bleeding from the wound still needed to be treated.

What should she do? V had no other equipment besides the bomb she carried, but as if possessed, she looked down while searching for her waist belt and saw something that shouldn't have been there.

【Maxdoc Mk】

A vial of the blood-replenishing medicine that can be found anywhere in Night City, but judging from the model number, V has never seen it before.

Place it in the high-temperature freezer, under the relic's recess.

这 是
Who prepared it for them?
