Cyberpunk: From Dogville to Legend

Chapter 147 Fierce Battle and Reunion

This sudden turn of events brought the sunrise to an abrupt halt.

The tires of the vehicle, traveling at nearly 230 miles per hour, jammed, emitting a screeching screeching sound!
Two sticky tire tracks on the ground emitted wisps of smoke, and the man holding a knife in one hand on the hood of the car was thrown out at such a terrifying speed due to the enormous inertia!

"laugh."

Rebecca seemed to hear the man beside her, whom she called her father, sneer.

Her gaze was fixed on Mr. Rin, who had been thrown away, and she forcefully suppressed the urge to scream...

Lin Yue's backward flight in mid-air seemed to be out of control. In Sunrise's opinion, even if this guy's prosthetic body was fierce, he would have to withstand the impact of nearly a hundred miles!

however--

His body seemed to have been paused in mid-air. Although the time interval was very short, it still allowed him to temporarily hang in the air in a way that "defied physics"!
The Reaction Specialty, "Acrobatic Flyer," grants this lone wolf unparalleled control over its aerial posture!

Whoops!

After spinning once, he adjusted his body posture to land feet-down with an exaggerated, gravity-defying movement.

Depend on…?!

In that instant, after a brief sway, the Sunrise Prosthetic Eye locked onto that guy!

Wow——!
Lin Yue's leather shoes rubbed against the ground as he held a knife. Suddenly, the handle of the knife vibrated at an extremely high frequency. He tried to use the blade to stop his backward momentum by sticking it into the asphalt road!
Sparks flew as the steel scraped against the road. Lin Yue bent down, holding the knife in one hand, like a cheetah about to pounce. His speed gradually slowed down—when the time was right, he twisted the foot he was using to brace himself, bringing his body to a complete stop.

Is it an Arasaka ninja?

Old Man Sunrise's face was gloomy. He had felt extremely uncomfortable from the moment he met this guy—if in his next life it was because he knew he was a corporate dog of Arasaka, but now it was because of the methods this guy had shown.

What kind of prosthetic body does he have?
At this moment, the chilly spring wind and the slightly damp air of Night City washed over Lin Yue's face.

He exhaled slightly, slowly straightening his hunched body. His calm, emotionless eyes stared intently at the modified car dozens of meters away, the one whose hood he had slashed with a knife.

A sound like a blade slicing through the air.

Lin Yue turned the hilt of the knife in his hand, and the blunt edge of the blade rested on his shoulder.

call…

Sunrise Old Man even had the idea of ​​getting out of the car right now and using Sinwistan to unleash a barrage of time-stopping bullets on this guy—

So fucking pretentious!
That son of a bitch from Araka!

To Sunrise, this behavior was an extremely arrogant provocation. His prosthetic hand gripped the steering wheel tightly. A seasoned lone wolf never acts impulsively; at this moment, he was trying to guess the other party's intentions…

If Arasaka were to attack him, an employee of military technology, it shouldn't be just this man.

Because in the eyes of major companies, Arasaka is like a pack of wolves; if you provoke one, the rest will swarm in!

After a moment of silence, Sunrise realized that the other side didn't seem to want to make the first move.

He didn't know that this was because Lin Yue on the other side was hesitant to act rashly.

Sunrise asked in a low voice, "Rebecca... I'll ask you one last time, what exactly is your relationship with this company dog?"

Well…

Actually, Rebecca was also confused at the moment, and she didn't have a definite answer to Sunrise's question.

Rebecca knew she wasn't very smart—

Even though she was so dense that she couldn't figure out the team's plan in Dogtown, she couldn't think of anything about herself that would make Mr. Rin have his eye on her...

She had even fantasized that Mr. Rin would send that woman from the company or Lin Yuelai out of consideration for Mann, but she never dared to imagine that Mr. Rin would do it himself!

After a slight hesitation, she looked at Mr. Rin, who hadn't made a move, and said indignantly, "I'm just a mercenary who works for him. You'd better think about whether it's your fault, you bastard."

Oh shit?

Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?

Rebecca's blunt words left Sunrise Old Man speechless.

However, the pressure is getting heavier and heavier.

Having access to the latest military technology database, he couldn't tell at all what model the prosthetic body on the company dog ​​was.

Whether this lone wolf in front of me wins or not is another matter...

What he was really concerned about was whether this guy had other support troops behind him.

Even so, the veins in Sunrise's temples were still throbbing, just like Rebecca's when she was angry.

Military technology has always relied on firearms in combat, which is why Sunrise is even more hostile to those who only want to stop him with a knife.

Oh shit!

Sunrise felt that he hadn't really accepted the corporate culture of military technology. In his view, all company employees were the same, and he couldn't say he was particularly hostile towards them.

But the more I look at this guy, the more annoyed I become.
So weird…

Turning her head to look again, she saw her daughter staring at that guy almost without blinking...

I'm even more furious now!

at this time--

A calm and magnetic middle-aged voice came from the car's voice channel:
“Friend…leave Rebecca here. I can overlook your military technology background.”

"I don't want to ask whose orders you took to cause trouble for a mercenary... Is this a reasonable offer?"

The sunrise's face showed a moment of surprise, followed by a strange smile.

Sure enough, his companions were nearby.

The fact that the communication channel in my car was hacked suggests that the hacker was quite skilled.

He tried to control the car and discovered that the entire infotainment system had indeed malfunctioned…

What concerned Hinode the most was that he seemed to know why this Arakawa had jumped off the train to intercept them—

He really came for his beloved daughter.

Trying to steal someone?

"Ok?"

Seeing that the person in the car didn't answer for a long time, Rin, who was in the distance, started to move and slowly approach the car.

He gave up trying when he realized he couldn't get through the sunrise no matter what, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

His exaggerated proportions, as if springs were installed under his neck, led him to stick his mouth right up to the communication system:

"You're looking for that woman? I killed her a long time ago... Hehe, she screamed so pitifully."

"Oops..."

Sunrise's strange voice and lewd smile gradually reached Lin Yue's ears!
His expression remained calm, but the red in his eyes seemed to be seeping out like an unyielding blood mist…

Am I too late...?

Lin Yue stopped in his tracks.

Damn it...

His hand gripping the knife suddenly tightened—

At this moment, inside the hovering vehicle above, V, whose eyes were filled with an invading light, was also stunned, and his expression slowly turned ugly.

Damn!

Lin Yue made a grinding sound as he clenched his teeth...

"why?"

There was no answer.

at this time.

Rebecca, who was in the car, was stunned for a long time after hearing what Sunrise Old Man said. She hurriedly tried to speak up to defend herself, but unexpectedly, there was a burst of static in the voice channel.

She saw the prosthetic arm of Sunrise insert into the center console inside the car, sparks flying.

V: "He compromised the speech system."

Old Man Sunrise stretched his neck and muttered, "Rebecca...you like older men? Even if you lack fatherly love, you can't do this...give your old man some time—"

The words are not finished yet.

The deep hum of the S.A.S. starting up filled my ears!
……

Just as Lin Yue was preparing to retaliate outside the car, V's warning sound suddenly rang out!
"careful!"

Lin Yue used the black wall to calculate the enemy's speed.

Because V had warned Lin Yue at the Rebirth Bar that this guy, who might be closely related to military technology, had an experimental version of S.A.S ...

A series of afterimages slid through Lin Yue's prosthetic eye.

He finally saw what the guy who kidnapped Rebecca looked like.

He was hunched over and had an extremely exaggerated height, yet his limbs were excessively thin compared to his height, making him look like a human spider...

Swish!
coming!

Lin Yue felt a gentle breeze blowing past his ear.

The gunshot that burned his ear exploded, and even at such close range, Lin Yue heard a deafening bang that could almost shatter his eardrums!
Sunrise Old Man's smile was strange. After firing a shot, he even sized up the company dog ​​and discovered that he had many features of cybernetic modifications.

So the lone wolf stopped wasting time stop time and tried to slide behind Lin Yue to fire a second shot—however, he was still very curious about the man wielding the samurai sword.

Why are there red and black lights in his eyes? Could he be a hacker?
Who cares about all that?! Let's just shove a bunch of bullets around his head first!
However, Lin Yue was calculating the distance and time it took for the man to rush towards him, in order to deduce the effect of time stop...

Well, it has to be said that computation is as easy for AI as eating and drinking.

[Unknown Model]

Time slowed down by 65%.

It seems that the cybernetic bodies in the game guides I remember are not real. The advanced version of S.A.S. appears to be unique, since this cybernetic body requires high adaptability—which is also the biggest obstacle to large-scale deployment and production.

Without knowing the duration, Lin Yue could only make a simple comparison with [Peregrine Sianwistan] and [Dinara Sianwistan].

At this moment, the results of all the calculations in the brain have already appeared.

Old Man Sunrise's mouth moved, but due to the speed of transmission, Lin Yue only heard slow-motion-like explosions and muffled, strange syllables...

Too bad.

This is what Old Man Sunrise wanted to say.

snort…

The knife on Lin Yue's shoulder suddenly moved. At such close range, there was no way to dodge the bullet. Lin Yue's face was immediately hit by the bullet, and sparks flew out from the ripples!
However, he was not prepared to give Sunrise a second chance.

Holy crap? This guy also has S.A.W.S ...

The alert sunrise immediately pulled away!
The moment that guy's crimson eyes locked onto him through the reflection of the blade, he experienced a chilling feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.

Lin Yue silently counted the duration.

Although the model was unknown, he had a general idea of ​​what it was, especially since V was watching from inside the hovercar above...

A series of crisp sounds as bullets struck steel plates.

Time stop ended!

Lin Yue turned his head to the side; it was the first time he had witnessed just how fast the experimental version of the S.A.W.S ...

It seems that although my reaction speed of 15 points has surpassed that of the slow-moving Sianwistan, I don't seem to have much of an advantage against a prosthetic body with more than 60% time stop.

Lin Yue felt a stinging pain in his cheek while in mid-air. He twisted his body and landed steadily!

Sunrise Daddy, a lone wolf like him, hardly wastes any words; he immediately raises his gun and fires!

Wow!
The blade is trembling!
Lin Yue's fingers traced the blade, his cold gaze almost piercing through the figure opposite him in a flowing black trench coat. *Whoosh!*
The bullets distorted the air, and Lin Yue's blade began to bloom in his hand like a silver-white flower!
Ding!Ding!Ding!
Sparks began to fly in front of Lin Yue as all three bullets were deflected to the side by the Jinzhong Pill!
Is there one last shot...?

Lin Yue switched the knife hilt to his other hand, the blade slightly angled. He had already calculated the bullet's trajectory, and the bullet would be returned to him the moment of contact!
Ding--

Since Sunrise Old Man hadn't activated Sianwistan, he naturally couldn't react in time; the bullet in his pupils was heading straight for his forehead.

However, relying on his combat experience, he turned his head to dodge the bullet. The bullet hit his shoulder with a crisp sound, and Old Man Sunrise staggered.

What the hell is this monster?!
Using a knife to block bullets?! Are you kidding me?

No, we have to use a "troll" to deal with this guy!

The moment the sun rose, Old Man threw away the Tsunami Nue in his hand and decided to pull out two violent weapons modified from the Crusher, which were tucked behind his back.

He often sacrifices stability in pursuit of extreme violence when modifying weapons.

These two weapons wouldn't even be able to penetrate a cybernetic body, and they would take off an arm in just two shots even if a mech came at you!

This is the most confident weapon of the sunrise...

But before he could even draw his weapon, he noticed that the lone swordsman from Arasaka suddenly charged forward.

Sunrise finally couldn't keep a straight face anymore.

What the hell is this?!

Clearly, he mistook Lin Yue's series of actions just now for S.A.W.S ...

Using a knife to block bullets, S.A.S.S. activated almost seamlessly. How many lone wolves would be terrified if this got out?

Of course, Sunrise Daddy knew that some S.A.S ...

call!
Just as he was thinking about how to further increase the distance, that guy suddenly started to take off into the air halfway through the night—

That’s not all!

That guy actually made a straight-line dash through the air?!

Where is there a S.A.S. who can stay airborne?

The Japanese are now suspecting that this guy might have been sent to Arasaka using military technology... but even the military science institute doesn't have this kind of technology.

"屮!"

Before he could even freeze, Old Man Sunrise's extensive combat experience allowed him to react immediately!

This lone wolf's limbs were remodeled using military technology, possessing exceptional flexibility and strength, enabling them to extend, retract, and perform defensive functions.

He pulled out a strangely graffiti-covered gun from behind his back in a way that defied the limits of joint movement—the speed at which he drew the gun was almost as fast as the slow-moving S.A.S ...
Bang!
The blade struck Old Man Sunrise's outstretched arm with a sickening metallic clang.

What a strength!
Sunrise felt as if this wasn't a chopping motion, but rather some strange blunt object striking his arm; he almost took a step back…

"Oh shit!"

Lin Yue tilted his head slightly and found that the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at him.

Lin Yue used the rebound force to jump away, and the shotgun shells exploded all over the sky like a flower!

Harmony between humanity and nature!
With his various expertise, Lin Yue is like a fish swimming in the air!

The sunrise's eyes widened.

He felt like he was about to vomit, and he was even considering retreating.

Is this even human?

If the opponent is a monster with full-body modifications and he can't break through, he can understand it, but he clearly didn't find that this guy has any abnormal cybernetic body!
Almost instantly, he made the decision to retreat.

Lin Yue landed just in time.

Just then, several deep-cut grenades rained down from the sky!

Exhausted, Lin Yue dropped the blade and kicked it away. The spinning blade crashed through the air, deflecting the deadly weapons that emitted high-energy lasers capable of cutting through flesh!

"No knife?"

Old Man Sunrise chuckled.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lin Yue!

Lin Yue forced a smile, but the red light in his eyes made the sunrise feel increasingly ominous.

"That's not necessarily the case."

The strange sounds seemed to overlap, a mixture of mechanical noise and distortion.

A qualified lone wolf knows some network technology, and Sunrise Old Man felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Got it!

call!
With a sinister grin, Lin Yue suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Chi's neck.

Old Man Rizhi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

It's impossible to hear the complete conversation during the time stop. At this moment, the guy on the other side, who is using his crushing speed to restrain him, is transmitting the conversation over the network!
Hey, hey, hey... could it be...?

A black wall?!
At that moment, a clear, cold voice rang out in their ears.

"Rin, wake up!"

The guy in front of him suddenly froze, and Old Man Sunrise was terrified. He kicked the guy away and retreated at top speed!

His name is…

cold? !

At this moment, Lin Yue was also pushed back a few steps by the force, and suddenly noticed V in the distance, dressed in a neat company uniform, and—the girl with pigtails tucked under her arm…

The guy was still clenching his fist.

"Wow! That's awesome, Mr. Rin!"

Finished!

Blinded by rage, Lin Yue didn't hesitate to let the Black Wall take over his duties; all he wanted was to tear this grotesque bastard to pieces...

But to my surprise, Rebecca was still alive.

He tried to resist the increasingly uncontrollable killing intent, his scarlet prosthetic eye locked onto the guy trying to escape.

V frowned. She didn't know that Lin Yue had the ability to distinguish friend from foe at this moment, but he just couldn't suppress his desire to kill.

At this moment, Old Man Sunrise turned his head and looked at V.

"Damn it, Rebecca absolutely cannot fall into the hands of this madman!"

Although I'm not a very good father...

Old Man Sunrise Raises Gun —

Rebecca's eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at her father, whom she had only met half an hour earlier.

V's gaze locked onto Old Man Sunrise, then his peripheral vision fell on Rin, whose face was contorted with rage.

She weighed the pros and cons in her mind; hacking into anyone would require a high RAM cost.

If we use RAM to crack Sunrise, then what if Lin Yue pounces on us in the next second...

call…

Rebecca slightly raised her head to look at the woman's chin.

The trigger has been pulled!
A hail of shotgun shells swarmed in!

He held the woman under his arm, slightly bent his knees, and turned to the side, using the car as cover. However, part of his body still couldn't get inside in time—

call out!
V let out a muffled groan from his nose.

Rebecca felt some warm liquid dripping onto her face.

Meanwhile, the upload process inside Lin Yue's prosthetic eye has been completed.

Tick-tock…

[Prosthetic Body Malfunction]

V still chose to upload the hack into Lin Yue's body.

In Lin Yue's view: V was injured.

His prosthetic body was a step slower due to a temporary hindrance... He didn't understand why V would upload a puppet to him.

Oh shit!

What is V doing?!

At this moment, even Old Man Sunrise let out a suspicious "hmm".

Rebecca felt V's arm lose some strength, so she stepped on the ground to support the swaying V—her expression immediately filled with anger!

"You bastard! What kind of father are you? Go to hell!"

Father? !
V was hit on the shoulder, and her expression turned ugly.

Old Man Sunrise knew that the opportunity had been missed.

Retreat was his best option.

So Sunrise, without hesitation, strode quickly toward the river that separated Westbrook and Watson.

He took one last look at his daughter and that guy named Rin, then his body plunged into the shimmering river and disappeared from sight...

Rebecca panicked because, because it was night, she couldn't see V's injuries clearly.

V pressed his hand against his arm. "I'm fine."

Rebecca stood up and looked at Mr. Rin, who was standing quietly in the distance.

His expression was very complicated.

So V had always thought of him as someone who would lose control... In such a dangerous situation, he still managed to restrain his own consciousness, which was about to lose its ability to resist.

"V, you've misunderstood me..."

Mr. Rin's gentle voice came into Rebecca's ears.

The next second—

Rebecca's pupils reflected the face of Mr. Rin, which flickered indistinctly, accompanied by intermittent black and red light, as a streak of light flashed across his face.

[System Notification]: [Behavioral Feature Faceboard - Malfunction (Hidden)]

Ugh…

Lin Yue sighed softly.

Rebecca's pink prosthetic eye reflected the image of a handsome man with short black hair, pursed lips, and calm eyes.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Good evening, Rebecca.

A sudden rush of mist filled her eyes, blurring the girl's world.
