Chapter 95 Invisible Assassin
As a typical high-tech enterprise, it is common for biotechnology to work overtime until the next morning.
But Diana Cuno felt that maybe today was her last day working overtime at Biotech -
Project Nightingale should not see deaths.
It was a human enhancement project, and the client was military technology - for this kind of project, death would be a big problem.
If something goes wrong and the customer doesn't pay, all the company's initial investment will be in vain!
At that point, problems will arise.
“Damn it.”
Hang up the phone, Kuno cursed secretly, and then looked at his colleague beside him.
The colleagues next to her also looked directly at her.
Kuno was furious: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Something happened, right?"
This colleague is also a woman, wearing a white coat, a typical technician.
Seeing Kuno's anxious expression, she smiled instead.
"What happened? What could happen? Emilia, you seem to be a little nervous."
"Come on, something must be wrong. Let me guess - someone has severe neuralgia, and the characteristics of the experimental subjects have become uncontrollable, right?"
Kuno was stunned for a moment: "You Did you know something was going to happen?"
"I told Joanna that stupid Damn, she doesn’t believe that there’s going to be something wrong with this experiment. Now this bitch knows how powerful she is!
I’m going against her, but as far as the experiment is concerned, there’s nothing wrong with what I said.”
Kuno gritted his teeth and said: "You are right, I am going to run away now"
"Run away? Why are you running away?" Morton asked, "Joanna is finished! It's her who should run away! After investing so much money, a lot of experimental subjects were killed. Let's just wait and see if the company will get rid of her." When the time comes, we’ll be in position! Don’t run away. You’ll sit in my seat and I’ll sit in Kochi’s seat. Isn’t that good?”
Kuno Reality? He is the local operations team leader in Night City, who was temporarily transferred to assist the Nightingale Project.
Although Morton is only a project manager, he is directly subordinate to the headquarters, and his authority and status are naturally higher than that of Cuno.
However, for projects in Night City, the regional director has higher authority, and Morton has to listen to Kochi - complex workplace relationships.
Kuno was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "So you did this? You wanted to harm Dr. Kochi? No wonder you always go against her."
"Of course not, but I have been with her for a long time. She said there were risks, but this woman is eager for quick success, and now it’s all over!”
With a relaxed expression, Morton unbuttoned his white coat and sat back on the sofa.
"We are waiting for the matter to break out, and the company will deal with Kochi. How can I not watch such a good show?
It seems that there is no need to work overtime today—— Oh, by the way, I still have evidence of Keqi’s illegal operation. When the time comes, we will bring it out together and I will definitely kill her!”
Seeing Morton with a confident look on his face, Kuno felt a little shaken.
Is an old friend coming to power? She is so smart, she has kept evidence of Kochi's illegal operations for a long time?
She thought for a while and said flatteringly: "Then you will be rich by then."
"Don't worry, I will take my seat for you. What's going on?"
“The outsourced security guard I sent out to recover the corpse was infected by the corpse. He said he had a broken hand. He threatened to expose the matter without paying me.”
"Ha, then let him poke it out - no, we have to help him."
Morton thought for a while, took out a chip from his pocket, inserted it into the neck slot and processed it. and then give it to Cuno.
“There are some useful things in this, but not all of them. The media can follow the content to dig for clues - it may be on us by then. Do you know what to do?”
If you dig into their heads, they will either take money or expose Kochi's evil deeds with righteous indignation - of course, that depends on the company's wishes.
Is it cutting? Or deal with it silently, or cut through the mess quickly?
The key is, if you put yourself in that position, there will naturally be work to do, either for the company or for extra money, it doesn't hurt.
Of course, the risk is extremely high.
Kuno took the chip with a look of admiration.
Morton is a ruthless person. In order to get benefits and show off himself in front of the company, he will use any dangerous tricks.
In this case, she would expose the matter first - expose the matter, and then put the responsibility entirely on Kochi.
"Okay, I'll get off work today."
"Let's go."
Kuno quickly walked to the locker room to change his clothes, and then walked towards the agreed place .
When she left, she was still thinking - if there was a workplace struggle, it would be Dr. Kochi who was to blame.
It’s just that Morton forgot one thing.
Regardless of whether Kochi messed up or not, and whether the company will deal with her in the future, she is still the regional director of biotechnology.
The city center square is the real core area. Unlike the dirty and messy slums of Heywood, here you can understand why Night City continues to attract people from all over the world.
Luxury cars, fast-moving floating cars, gleaming company signs and holographic advertisements can be seen everywhere, depicting the prosperity of the downtown square.
In the work done by mercenaries, any reward exceeding 100,000 can be called a big deal.
In the city center, the cars running on the streets and flying in the sky are all luxury cars that far exceed this amount.
NCPD has become more present, and even has 24-hour duty stations to maintain order as much as possible in this city of chaos and freedom.
A black Mackinaw looked out of place.
Lille shouted at V: "Don't look at the car! Look at the person! Cuno is a black man with an exaggerated mohawk and likes to wear fur coats!"
" "Look what's wrong, I can't open it and can't watch it," V said dissatisfied, and then exclaimed, "I'll go!"
In front of the car, a Goodra 66 sports car passed quickly without even turning on the traffic lights.
The NCPD next to him took a look and picked up his walkie-talkie skillfully.
". In the central square, a Goodra 66 sports car has a traffic violation. Pay attention to diverting traffic and don't let other cars hit it."
That's right, NCPD won't even stop this guy. A supercar, mainly for two reasons.
One: they can’t catch up.
Second: Instead of spending time and effort to issue a ticket, it is better to write down his license plate and then ask the car owner to pay - anyway, this kind of person is rich and does not care about such a small amount of money.
Instead of upholding traffic rules, it is better to spare others to avoid greater losses - bizarre law enforcement.
V showed an envious look, and then looked at Lille with an unkind expression: "It's all your fault for borrowing my money."
"Look! That seems to be the library No! Follow me."
V stared at Lear as if he couldn't see him.
The transportation system nodes in the city center are guarded by the NCPD, and running cars are more difficult to hack, so you have to keep a low profile here.
Kuno drives a Mizutani Falcon, which is the most common sports car in Night City.
The huge black body of Mackinaw looked a little out of place in the city center. Kuno had seen this car following him a long time ago.
She knew immediately that this was the person she wanted to meet.
She didn't show anything strange, but drove the car honestly, heading towards Japan Street as if she was off work.
They were looking for a quiet and secluded place to talk.
The car soon arrived at the junction of Westbrook District and Civic Center. The two cars drove off the main road in tacit agreement and entered an alley.
Starting from this place, you can see the people of the Tiger Claw Gang - this is the territory of the Tiger Claw Gang.
Five members of the Tiger Claw Gang gathered together, and their motorcycles were parked next to them, all in green and purple colors, with the words "No. 1 in the World" written on them.
Through the alley, the five Tiger Claw gang members glanced at Kuno's license plate number and looked away.
Unlike other gangs, the Tiger Claw Gang, whose territory is adjacent to large companies, is actually very close to large companies, and they will not mess with company dogs.
The car stopped and the four people got out of the car, but Kuno stood in the shadows, and the street lights just couldn't reach her.
Seeing the three people from Lille, Kuno suddenly froze: "You... damn, where is Murphy?"
"Don't be nervous, madam, we are Murphy's friends. He doesn't dare to come here, you know the reason."
Kuno bit her nails nervously. She looked at the three of them warily for a while, and then said:
"Forget it, no matter what, let's talk about it - Murphy wants compensation, no way, the company won't give it to him, and I won't give it to him either."
Liel raised his eyebrows: "Then what? I guess you won't just come here to say this."
"You're right." Cuno took a few steps forward, "I won't give Murphy money, but he You can earn it yourself.
I have information about this biotechnology incident, and you can sell it to the media, or something else."
Liel and V looked at each other. Take a look: These days, why do every corporate dog want to sell the company?
"Listen, I don't care what you plan to do or how you make money, but you remember one thing, this whole thing is because of the regional director of biotechnology"
Cuno reached out and took it out from his neck chip, reaching out from the shadows.
"Joan."
Poof!
The next moment, a katana appeared out of thin air from the shadows and struck Kuno from the top of her head, cutting her in half!
Lille's pupils shrank sharply——
The pattern on the handle of the knife. The Tiger Claw Gang! ?
“V!”
