If the Night Holds No Light, Then I Can See the Stars

After Driver No. 25 flew over the cliff, crashed into Leis Angton Base, and sent a letter to everyone.

Detroit's night.

Had truly begun.

Countless thugs and gang members began preparing firearms and explosives.

At the same time.

The "Environmentalists" began using the backdoor they had previously planted to overload Leis Angton's circuits.

In an instant.

The flashing red alarm lights and the regular lights throughout the building went out together.

But Su Wen could see everything on his display:

Because your actions align with the rules of the Night Watch, the Detroit Night Watch organization's favorability toward you has increased by: +40

You have obtained the buff: If the Night Holds No Light, Then I Can See the Stars

If the Night Holds No Light, Then I Can See the Stars. Effect: Your actions in darkness will become faster, and you can clearly perceive everything.

Note: Your allied units can share this effect.

Because of this buff.

Even though the inside of Leis Angton Tower was pitch-black, he could still see his surroundings perfectly clearly.

And.

Su Wen fully opened access to this buff.

Allowing every member participating in his plan to receive the same enhancement.

After all.

Detroit was about to welcome a true carnival!

"Brother, I suddenly feel like I can see everything around me."

Grace leaned back in the car, feeling his surroundings gradually become clearer.

"Could I have undergone a second awakening? Hey, this feels pretty damn good."

"I'm not a physician from the Other Shore Organization or the Great Library, so I can't tell whether you've got Cyber Psychos or undergone a second awakening.

But if you can see clearly, catch this gun."

Su Wen did not acknowledge his own ability.

Instead, he swiftly pulled two M16 Automatic Rifles from the modified race car's safe.

He took one for himself.

And threw the other to the burly Black man beside him.

"Next, it's time for us to confront Leis Angton's 'monsters' head-on."

Leis Angton—Trauma Team approaching.

Given your sudden act of madness, and your destruction of the lighting system with the Environmentalists' assistance.

Time before the enemy reaches this floor.

Preparation time: approximately ten minutes.

Su Wen looked at the notification.

Then calmly connected to the team chat channel he had established earlier.

"Vern, have you started moving on your end?"

One second later.

White Hound's hoarse, middle-aged voice came through.

"I've already 'marked' the scent of those pieces of trash.

They can try to find out whether they can escape the pursuit of a Bloodthirsty Hound.

As for Rhine, my daughter, I'm leaving her to you."

As a quiet father.

He bore hatred toward Leis Angton.

That hatred might have run even deeper than Grace's.

But as a seasoned Extraordinary, a second-tier Extraordinary, and Vern Oniens, who possessed the Extraordinary Characteristics "Pursuit."

He chose to do what he should be doing most.

Not leaving Leis Angton's upper management any chance to escape.

Kill every last one of those bastards.

Leave none alive.

"I'll bring every innocent person back alive."

Su Wen gave his answer calmly.

That was what a legend ought to do.

At the same time.

He also connected to the Environmentalists' chat line.

"Gore, hack into Leis Angton Tower's surveillance network. I want to know every movement of their Security Force."

"To be honest, my actual job is relic reconnaissance. I'm not the hacker."

Gore Slater said helplessly.

"Remember what I told you?

The Environmentalists just happened to be vacationing in Hawaii.

Only three members were left in Detroit.

One of them is my superior. She loves underground racing, so she deliberately stayed in Detroit.

That's right. She's the hacker."

The next second.

A burst of static came through the communications line.

Then.

A lazy voice that Su Wen knew extremely well came through his earpiece.

"Driver No. 25, do you remember me?"

Su Wen calmly answered while making fine adjustments to his rifle.

"The racing host?

Ma'am, your voice is far too distinctive. It would be hard to forget."

"My name isn't 'Host.' Remember me. My name is Caroline Lydia."

Her voice held a trace more sweetness than it had on the host's platform earlier.

"When this carnival is over, I think we can discuss your 'racing skills' in detail.

That image of you speeding along... it gives me an excitement I simply can't suppress."

Upon hearing Caroline say that.

He answered gracefully without losing his poise.

"Before that, perhaps you could first sample a French Martini or an Angel M. Cocktail that I mixed especially for you."

Su Wen remembered clearly that he had yet to complete his One Star bartender mission.

Naturally, he had to find a way to finish it.

"Small talk is over for now.

Please assist me with combat support through the data network, Miss Caroline."

At his words.

This person in charge of the Environmentalists' Detroit division stopped teasing him and said calmly.

"Rhine, your current location is the office area on the sixth floor of Leis Angton Building B."

Leis Angton's rapid response unit, Trauma Team BTU_7, currently has seventeen members. Their cybernetic modification levels are all above 30%.

They are closing in on you in an encirclement. Do you require an evasion route?

"Data evasion? No.

Give me an assassination route. I want to wipe them out."

Su Wen said calmly.

In the darkness.

The "Legend Buff," "Night Watch Buff," and "Carnival Convoy Buff" granted a low-tier knight assassination abilities comparable to a "Shadow Master."

From this moment onward.

Prey and hunter.

Their identities had already switched.

"The surveillance data has been overridden. The two Trauma Team sentries closest to you and Grace are in the second room on the sixth floor, around the corner."

At the same time.

Leis Angton's "thanks" arrived as promised.

Because of your insane actions, the Leis Angton Group's favorability toward you is: -99

Friendly relationship: Mortal enemies

You have obtained the debuff: Physique Modification Imbalance

Physique Modification Imbalance. Effect: Your total health value is reduced by 15%, and recovery speed is reduced by 60%.

Su Wen saw his maximum health directly drop by one bar.

But with his status panel stacked full of countless positive buffs, this minor debuff did not matter at all.

After all.

The Other Shore Physician's positive buff, "Powerful Healing," alone gave him Self-Healing +30% and Health Recovery Speed +30%.

Not to mention all the other enhancement effects.

On the display.

The lights throughout the unattended Leis Angton Tower had gone out, leaving visibility extremely low.

But neither of them was affected in the slightest.

They moved silently through the ruined office area, using the partitions as cover.

Su Wen gave Grace a professional hand signal and switched to a custom Cold Light Company dagger.

The next second.

With the powerful perception granted by the Night Watch buff.

He sensed killing intent coming from his side.

Without hesitating in the slightest.

He rolled away with crisp, efficient movements.

The dagger in his hand silently curled around the fully armed sentry's neck.

Cold light flashed.

He felt a slight resistance.

But that resistance lasted only an instant.

Before he smoothly slit the man's throat without obstruction.

Scavenger Buff "Tear Steel" effect activated!

Your assassination attack successfully penetrated the cybernetic implant alloy of "Trauma Team BTU_7."

Target has died!

Two Stars mission in progress. Progress: 1/37.

Next.

The night stage belonging to Detroit's true legend.

Had finally been completely unveiled.
