Following this altered scream, the leader of the Bosozoku clan turned around and fled.
With him taking the lead, the rest of the speedsters also scrambled and escaped in the blink of an eye.
"It's strange, am I so terrible?"
When Peacock asked Go Fukada on the ground, the eldest brother of the Fukada group could no longer answer due to fear and pain.
If he doesn't speak, Peacock won't force him, but Peacock still has something to ask of this big brother.
"Brother Fukada, it will be a little painful next, so please hold on and don't die!"
While saying this, Peacock tightened the rope tied around Fukada Go's ankle.
After giving these instructions, Peacock stepped onto the motorcycle. Behind his car was the leader of the Fukada team, who was being dragged by a rope.
Just how happy this person was running is how long he has been tortured now. It is this kind of retribution that can make Peacock's heart full of gloom feel better.
When Peacock dragged Fukada Go in front of Raul and Anita, this famous figure in the underworld was no longer human, but he was still alive.
When he saw that person, the veteran's eyes that were about to go out suddenly lit up.
He even miraculously sat up straight, as if he wanted to complete the final divine revenge by himself.
It was Raul's niece who stabbed her in the end. Watching Anita stab the knife into her heart, Raul's eyes were like a stormy sea.
The veteran tried his best to signal the peacock to come closer, and then stretched out his left hand.
"Here, stab it in!"
Looking at the position indicated by the veteran, Peacock and Anita looked at each other.
It wasn't until the veteran repeated it again that Peacock did as he was told.
Peacock's hunting knife just penetrated the veteran's arm, and he immediately felt a special touch. So he dug out the chip hidden in the veteran's arm with his knife.
"You are a real Zorro, thank you."
After asking Peacock to put away the bloody chip, Raul's spirit that was there just now was about to disappear. But he still held on and left his final advice to his niece.
"Anita, don't think about revenge, it will ruin your life. Remember my words, violence cannot solve problems."
When he said the last word, the veteran's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and the hand he just raised drooped down.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Looking at the female police officer banging the ground, Peacock did not try to persuade, but did the last thing he could.
He collected what was left of Emma as much as possible, and Anita carried her uncle into the car.
"One day, I'm going to prove my uncle wrong!
Today violence cannot solve the problem because our violence is not strong enough.
I must find the strongest power in the world, and then use it to kill all the evil people!"
After leaving such a message, the female police officer named Anita drove away.
Peacock didn't know how to evaluate Anita's cognition.
Raul may be right, and Anita may be right, but Peacock also secretly reminds himself that he must not indulge in violence and cannot extricate himself.
Taking the chip, Peacock went to see Meredith.
As soon as she took the chip from Peacock's hand, the woman noticed the blood stains on it.
But Meredith didn't question Peacock about this, she just said casually:
"Very good, congratulations on completing your first task. Do you seem to have a problem with me?"
With Meredith's experience, how could Peacock's current calmness be hidden from her eyes?
The senior director of the Operations Department of Military Science and Technology has never tolerated sand in her eyes, so the smile on her face has disappeared.
"No, you are overthinking. I just want to help you complete two things as soon as possible."
After taking a deep breath, Peacock reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart. When he raised his head again, he turned into a poker face.
"Really? That's best.
Peacock, let me give you a piece of advice:
As a mercenary, if you want to return home alive, you must maintain a professional attitude at all times, so don't let unnecessary emotions affect you.
Okay, now let's talk about the second task.
First of all, let me state that the second task is far more dangerous than the first one, and you can't do it alone.
You can find helpers on your own, such as the gangster who can only scream, and the sinister man who has been mostly disabled.
Of course, you don't have to accept it. But in this case, you will have to wait for a while before you get the task. At the moment, this is the only thing I have on hand.
"So mysterious? I wonder who you are trying to blackmail this time?"
Although he knew he shouldn't quarrel with Meredith, Peacock still blurted out these words.
In response to such a provocation, the corners of Meredith's eyes twitched violently, but she finally endured it.
Not caring about her anger, she silently opened the electronic prosthetic eye and began to give a simple explanation.
Meredith's introduction was indeed brief enough, only half a minute before and after. But Peacock felt it was enough, so he extended his hand.
"I'll do it, give me the information."
"Is this what the woman wants you to do? And before that, you secretly completed the first commission given by the woman alone?"
When Jack screamed at the peacock, it was already three days after the peacock got the information.
The main reason why Peacock delayed telling Jack and Wei until now was because he originally planned to complete it by himself.
But as Meredith said, this second commission is indeed not something that Peacock can handle alone.
During these three days, Peacock made countless plans, but in the end they were rejected one by one.
Only then did Peacock find Jack and Wei and tell them about the incident.
When Peacock said that he and Meredith had signed a secret agreement, Jack and Vee both jumped up.
"Peacock! You are crazy, you have signed a contract with the devil.
You will die, you will definitely die, and the devil will eat you all up, not even a scrap will be left!"
Contrary to Peacock's expectation, Wei's reaction to this incident was particularly violent. He shouted with an unprecedented loudness, and his demeanor was more Jack than Jack.
"Let's take a look at this commission first. I think it's a good thing."
In order to avoid the saliva of his two friends, Peacock decided to distract their attention, so he took out the information given by Meredith.
After reading that information, my criticism of Peacock suddenly escalated.
Now Jack was waving his hands, as if he was ready to hit someone at any time, while Wei was holding his arms and banging his head against the wall.
Peacock felt that it was completely understandable for the two friends to react so violently, because he was also so gaffe-like when he first saw the information.
"Moti, female, 32 years old, is a level A3 researcher at the Military Science and Technology Research Department. Her main research direction is bionic neurology and related AI development and design.
Peacock is such a person, and now he wants to betray military technology?
And she doesn’t want to defect to another big company, she just wants to escape from Night City and pursue a free life in the bad land?”
"right!"
Listening to Wei summarizing the content of the task, Peacock said that the dark man summarized it very concisely.
"Military technology researchers are the targets of special protection because they hold company secrets. Morty's A3 level is already above average.
This class already has access to real secrets, so there are people with military technology around her at all times under the name of protection and surveillance.
In this case, Morty couldn't escape Night City on his own. But she had a good best friend, so she found Meredith?"
"Is such that."
"Meredith, a loyal dog of military technology, said he understood his friend's thoughts.
So instead of reporting it to the authorities, she actively arranged an escape plan for Morty, and that's how you were chosen."
"Yes, that's the whole process."
"Peacock, are you stupid?
Think about that woman's behavior, is that woman willing to do such a thing just for her best friend?"
Seeing that the peacock still looked normal, Jack couldn't help but rush over and roar.
"I know there are a lot of things in this story that don't make sense, but it has nothing to do with us.
Sending researcher A3 out of Night City is a systematic job, and it cannot be done by just hiring three people.
According to Meredith, the early preparations and later transportation have been prepared. What she is looking for now are just the mercenaries responsible for robbing people.
If we join, all we have to do is follow the plan she gave and snatch the A3-level researcher out of the hands of her security personnel at the designated time and place.
After that, we have to take the girl to the edge of the city and deliver her safely to other teams responsible for the next step.
So you see, we are actually involved in less than 1/3 of this task, and it is still the simplest part.
As long as everything goes well, this mission will be completed within an hour, so I think we should give it a try."
"Peacock, you think things are too simple.
These inferences of yours are all based on Meredith's credibility, but you also know that this foundation is not solid."
"Wei, you are right, it is indeed the case.
It's a very risky thing, but it has the potential to revive our dreams.
What dream doesn't require risking? Think about it, Jack, Vee, this is our dream."
Peacock's words made Jack and Weiqi silence their voices. Looking at the two brothers who were deep in thought, Peacock's heart was filled with hope.
His two brothers never lacked courage, they just lacked opportunities, so Peacock thought they would not let him down.
Three days later, in a military technology office, all the big guys who came to observe the operation were already in place.
What is about to begin is a standard field operation, but the protagonist today is not Meredith from the Operations Department, but a certain deputy director of the Research Department.
"Sirs, let me give you a brief introduction to the process of this operation:
According to the plan, Researcher Morty will set off from his apartment in 10 minutes.
Accompanied by security personnel, she will appear at the door of her home, waiting for the company's car.
At this time, the mercenaries responsible for helping researcher Morty defect will quickly approach in a car. They will meet the security personnel, and then take Morty away.
Before the operation, the mercenaries already knew that Miss Morty had the company's automatic positioning and final chips, so they would find ways to remove these security devices.
To make things easier for them, we have asked Meredith to provide those mercenaries with special signal jammers.
This device will completely disable the tracking device on the experimental subject, but it will also activate two other more secretive signal transmitters, so we don't have to worry at all.
After completing this purification process, the mercenaries will take the experimental subjects to the designated place to wait, and that is the stage for this actual combat test.
At present, all test groups are in place, and we are waiting for the experimental subjects to enter.
Everyone, this will be a very successful practical test, and we will obtain accurate data without any interruption."
After listening to the briefing given by his capable subordinate, the deputy director of the research department slightly nodded, while Meredith looked disgusted.
"Deputy Director, as a representative of the Operations Department, I have to offer my professional opinion again:
I have always believed that it is unreasonable to conduct such top-secret practical tests outside the company.
The company is so big, can’t we find a suitable place to test our combat effectiveness?”
"Haha, Director Meredith, this is not the first time you have made similar comments.
But it’s no wonder. What your operations department is good at is fighting and killing. How can you understand the real science?
The reason why the research department decided to conduct this practical test in a risky way was entirely because the experimental subject this time was very special.
As far as current cyber technology is concerned, our military technology has always been at the forefront.
