Infinity, progressing from Arasaka

The file of the person involved is currently in the security department. The counterintelligence department notified the security leadership, and then personnel were dispatched. They caught them red-handed when they arrived. There were indeed hackers in the surrounding houses recording in real time and secretly uploading the puppet, perhaps for future coercion.

Vera witnessed the entire process of the two guys meeting, talking, groping each other in the corner, and finally kissing each other until they were all sticky with saliva.

"It's being handed over to you."

Jimmy said to the undercover agent from the counterintelligence department.

“Masato Yamauchi, you are suspected of violating company rules. Please come with us.”

Agent Arasaka from the Counterintelligence Department took away the distraught Yamauchi Masato, along with the suspect they had just apprehended, and oh, the corpse of that dead sex doll.

Armored airborne vehicle of the Arasaka Security Department.

"Jimmy, are there any backlogged Night City field missions that need to be processed? As for support requests from other departments in the company, take them on as you see fit, and if they're not excessive."

"Uh... sir, you didn't actually need to come in person."

Jimmy got a headache as soon as he got on the armored airship and saw his fully armed superior.

This specially made high-strength polycarbonate tailored combat uniform includes a nanofiber armor jacket, external electronic muscle-enhancing arm rings, and structurally reinforced long monomolecular finger cots...

"Any questions?"

Vera, who was carefully maintaining the cat-shaped electromagnetic sniper rifle, looked up and glanced at him.

"no problem."

Sitting directly opposite Vera, Jimmy straightened up and answered.

As Vera's confidant, he was essentially discovered and promoted by Vera from the front lines.

They belong to the kind of loyalists who get promoted when others are promoted, and marginalized and purged when others lose power.

Jimmy was well aware of Vera's strengths and limitations.

What kind of destructive power is hidden within the exquisite body of her cold and aloof superior, which requires at least several million euros to maintain every year? Don't be fooled by the fact that Vera mostly sits in the command center directing operations; that's just a burden of her status and unnecessary. Once she really gets involved...

Calling it cyberpsychosis is an understatement.

Coupled with Vera's lab-grade exclusive equipment, which she purchased and customized at great expense due to her "cowardice," even the Terrorist Mobile Unit seems less violent in comparison. In the words of Adam Hammer, Arasaka's number one henchman, Vera is also a "meat grinder."

Jimmy believes that if Commander Vera's physical attributes, intelligence, reaction time, and composure could be quantified, they would be legendary.

He and the other six soldiers, who had served as Vera's training partners for several months, firmly believed this.

"Boss, the intelligence department wants our security department to send some support to them. Several shipments meant for their informants were hijacked by fanatical Vortex Gang members based in the northern industrial zone."

The security experts from Team 6 reported while operating the information processing terminal.

"catch."

Vera picked up her finely crafted thermal samurai sword and her well-maintained cat-shaped electromagnetic sniper rifle and stood up.

"Jimmy, you will be in charge of Team 6, part of which will continue to handle the handover of tasks with the Counterintelligence Department. Order Team 2 to proceed to the Northern Industrial Zone immediately."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Jimmy seemed to see Vera smile at that moment.

It was a bloodthirsty arc, a laugh that seemed to unleash something.

After saying that, Vera jumped off the armored hovercar and boarded another one.

hum...bum...

The armored hovercraft sped toward the northern part of Night City.

"..."

"Hiss, boss, is Manager Vera on her period lately? She seems really irritable... Ouch!" Bang!

After punching the outspoken veteran machine gunner in the squad with a casserole-sized fist, Jimmy glanced around and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Just pretend you're deaf and mute. Commander Vera is simply demonstrating her hands-on approach and responsible attitude since taking office. Understand?"

"Yes!"×N

...

Unaware of her subordinates' thoughts and unwilling to know, Vera only knew that she was currently very angry.

Extremely large.

The kind of need to vent.

"A bunch of insects! How can we improve the economy and keep America 'great' with you guys around?!"

P.S.: Ahem, the next chapter will be updated before 8 PM sharp. Yesterday was an accident; the short holiday is over and there's been too much going on.

Chapter 014 Vera Wants to Vent for 'Vera'

impatient.

irritable.

Vision and perception seem to transcend the boundaries of time and space; Vera can clearly sense another 'her,' or rather, this is her current emotion.

He was clearly furious and impulsive, his anger rising from his heart and his malice born from his guts.

It was brought about by her "divine gift".

It's not really an impact.

And at the same time—

quack!

Inside the armored airship, Vera spread her five fingers, then closed them. The bones and joints under her closed tactical gloves made a slight cracking sound. Vera could clearly feel the subtle changes in her entire skeleton, flesh, and even the prosthetic components.

That feeling of fullness and amplification.

"A gift from heaven".

The greater the degree of commonality between Vera and the other "me", the more significant the enhancement will be.

"Am I a monkey version of a multidimensional life form?"

The multi-layered resonance between her soul and mind vividly reminded her of that moment of 'awakening'.

At that time, Vera's parents had recently passed away, and she had just joined Arasaka Tower Academy and had not yet fully understood what was happening to her.

In fact, since she was born into this world, she has never had any hallucinations of a system making any clanging noises, nor has she had any physical companion objects in her hands.

As she grew up, and her body developed and her brain matured, Vera initially only discovered that her memory was far superior to that of her previous life.

Her brain processes information very quickly, her nerves react rapidly, she has an almost photographic memory and clear and perfect recollections, and before her biological parents' accident, she grew up healthy without any illness, disaster, or physical defects.

The adoptive parents often sighed in their spare time, thinking how easy and worry-free it is to raise a child.

Vera jokingly speculated that it might be the superposition and fusion of two souls, and that the process of soul development and enrichment brought her enhancement.

This is her perk of time travel. The so-called "golden finger" (or "cheat code").

Vera was very satisfied.

Vera's precociousness and awareness brought her unparalleled learning ability; she learned almost anything very quickly.

She was happy to be carefree, even though her parents were both busy and sometimes she could only see them a few times a year.

And they hoped their fathers would become successful.

Even if I know that I have been reincarnated in a cyberpunk world with high technology and low living standards, it doesn't matter, because I have my parents to protect me.

Knowing that the city she lived in was called Night City, a garbage dump filled with gang violence, rampant illegal drugs, military-grade cybernetic bodies, and gambling on the dead, Vera, who valued her life, readily admitted defeat and gave up the idea of ​​leaving the protection zone to explore the unknown world.

Your life is at stake!

She dared not gamble on the sanity of the cyber madman.

What if their identity as a little girl makes them even more excited?

Your life is your own. You likely only have one chance, so cherish this rare opportunity to be born into such a fortunate family.

She has no system that executes its host if the mission is not completed, nor does she have mission guidance or rewards for completing missions. She is just a slightly smart girl and does not have the extraordinary power to gather all kinds of great strength in her own body. So, she will just follow the steps.

In short, she had no sense of urgency.

Vera learned whatever her parents asked her to learn and did whatever they asked her to do. If she was curious, she would first ask for their permission and always performed well, becoming the 'other people's child'.

At that time, the suffocating atmosphere of the cyberpunk world, the coldness of Night City, and the struggles of the underworld were not truly revealed to Vera.

She experienced more of the convenience and entertainment brought about by the technological iterations of the cyberpunk world.

With ample time to grow up step by step according to her parents' expectations, becoming the obedient child they spoke of, Vera could simply follow the path laid out for her parents and take over the mantle. She didn't have a rebellious phase.

Although I wasn't born in 'Rome,' I'm on the road to 'Rome' nonetheless.

Until Vera lost her shelter from the storm.

There was no more room for maneuver...

Forced into a passive position, she must confront the true nature of the cyberpunk world.

During that period, some people wanted to seize the assets she inherited through "legitimate means," some wanted to cheat and swindle her to get rid of her, and some even wanted to marry her to obtain the "political legacy" of her parents and, incidentally, have sex with her in bed.

Vera, of course, would not comply and chose to resist.

Her laziness and her fear of death do not mean she is truly cowardly or a weakling.

After that, she changed her obedient daughter attitude, handled her parents' funerals, properly managed the 'inheritance', and then plunged into Arasaka Tower Academy to push herself into a frenzy of study.

Perhaps then the body and brain will have truly matured, or the soul and body will have completely merged, or perhaps it will be a change in mindset.

Vera started having very strange dreams.

As the dream deepened, it made her feel relaxed, peaceful, and incredibly serene. Gradually, she began to see the world within the dream more clearly.

She seemed to be living another life in another world, a life that was extremely real, with all five senses intact, and she could truly control and act according to Vera's thoughts and desires.

As time passed, Vera found that she had not forgotten anything she had seen and learned in the 'dream'. She was still at Arasaka Tower Academy and had not changed at all, but the power that kept surging through her body and her increasingly clear mind were so real.

That's not a dream.
