If the Night is Lightless, I Can See the Stars

After Racer No. 25 flew off the cliff and crashed into Leis Angton Base, sending a letter to everyone, the night in Detroit truly began.

Countless thugs and gang members started preparing their firearms and explosives.

At the same time, the 'Environmentalist Organization' began to overload Leis Angton's circuits using previously prepared secret passages.

In an instant, the red alarm lights that had been flashing continuously in the building, along with the lighting, went out.

But Su Wen saw everything in his vision:

[Because your actions align with the Night Watch principles, the Detroit Night Watch's favorability towards you is: +40]

[You have received the buff: If the Night is Lightless, I Can See the Stars]

[If the Night is Lightless, I Can See the Stars, effect: Your movements in the dark will be faster, and you can clearly perceive everything.

Note: Your friendly units can share this effect.]

Because of this buff, even though the inside of the Leis Angton Building was pitch black, he could still see everything around him clearly.

Moreover, Su Wen completely opened up the permissions for this buff, allowing all members involved in his plan to receive the synchronized buff.

After all, Detroit was about to welcome a true carnival!

"Bro, I feel like I can suddenly see everything clearly," Grace said, leaning back in the car. He felt the surroundings gradually becoming clearer. "Could it be that I've awakened a second time? Hey, this feels pretty good."

"I'm not a doctor from the Other Shore Organization or the Great Library. I can't tell if you're having a Cyber Psychos episode or awakening a second time. But if you can see clearly, catch this gun."

Su Wen didn't acknowledge his ability. Instead, he decisively took out two M16 Automatic Rifles from the modified race car's safe.

He took one for himself and threw one to the black strongman beside him.

"Next, we'll have to face those 'monsters' that belong to Leis Angton head-on."

[Leis Angton - Trauma Team approaching]

[Given your unprovoked reckless behavior and your cooperation with the Environmentalist Organization to destroy the lighting system]

[Time until enemies reach this floor]

[Approximately ten minutes preparation time]

Su Wen looked at the prompt text.

He calmly connected to the previously formed squad's chat channel:

"Fern, have you started your operation?"

A second later, White Hound Fern Onions's hoarse, middle-aged man's voice came through:

"I've already 'marked' the scent of those trash. They can try to see if they can escape the pursuit of a bloodhound. Relatively, Rhine, my daughter, I'm entrusting her to you."

As a silent father, he harbored hatred for Leis Angton.

This hatred was perhaps even greater than Grace's.

But as a seasoned Transcendent, a Tier 2 Transcendent, and one who possessed the Extraordinary Characteristics 'Hunting', Fern Onions chose to do what he should do most:

Not giving the Leis Angton executives any chance to escape.

Slaughtering this group of trash.

Not one will be left alive.

"I will bring all the innocent back alive."

Su Wen calmly gave his answer.

This is what a legend should do.

At the same time.

He also connected to the 'Environmentalist' chat line:

"Gore, hack into the Leis Angton Building's surveillance lines. I need to know all the movements of their Security Force."

"To be honest, my actual job is as a relic scout. Hacking isn't really my thing."

Gore Slater said helplessly, "Remember what I said?

The 'Environmentalist Organization' just happened to go on vacation to Hawaii.

Only three members were left in Detroit.

One of them is my boss, and she loves underground racing, so she specifically stayed behind in Detroit.

That's right, she's the hacker."

The next second.

Crackling sounds appeared in the communication line.

Then.

A lazy voice, extremely familiar to Su Wen, came from the headset:

"Racer #25, remember me?"

Su Wen calmly replied while fine-tuning his weapon.

"The racing host?

Madam, your voice is indeed too distinctive; it's hard to forget."

"I'm not called 'host.' Remember me. I'm Caroline Lydia."

Her voice was sweeter than when she was on the podium, "After this carnival is over, I think we can discuss your 'racing skills' in detail.

Those speeding scenes are truly exhilarating."

Hearing Caroline say this.

He replied elegantly and with poise:

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

Su Wen remembered clearly that his one-star bartender task was still unfinished.

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

"The small talk is temporarily over.

Now, please assist me with data line combat support, Miss Caroline."

Hearing him say this.

The person in charge of the 'Environmentalist Organization' in the Detroit area stopped joking and said calmly:

"Rhine, your current location is the 6th floor office area of Leis Angton Building B."

"Currently, the Leis Angton rapid reaction force: [Trauma Team BTU_7] consists of seventeen people, all with cybernetic modification levels above 30%.

They are approaching you in an encircling pattern. Do you need me to provide an evasion route?"

"Data evasion? Not needed.

Provide assassination routes. I want to annihilate them all."

Su Wen said calmly.

In the darkness.

The 'Legend buff', "Night Watch buff," and "Carnival Crew buff" granted a low-level knight assassination abilities comparable to a 'Shadow Master.'

From now on.

The prey and the hunter.

Their roles have been exchanged.

"Surveillance data is covered. Currently, 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 'gratitude' arrived as scheduled.

[Due to your insane actions, the Leis Angton Group's favorability towards you is: -99]

[Friendly Relationship: Nemesis]

[You have received a debuff: Physique Modification Imbalance]

[Physique Modification Imbalance, Effect: Your total health is reduced by 15%, and regeneration speed is reduced by 60%]

Su Wen saw his maximum health decrease by one bar.

But with his stat panel overflowing with countless positive buffs, this slight debuff was insignificant.

After all.

The 'Powerful Healing' buff from the Other Shore Physician alone granted him +30% self-healing and +30% health regeneration speed.

Not to mention the other enhancement effects.

In the scene.

The Leis Angton Building, devoid of workers, had all its lights off, resulting in extremely low visibility.

But the two of them were completely unaffected.

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

Su Wen gave Grace a professional hand signal, and switched to a Cold Steel special dagger in his hand.

The next second.

With the enhanced perception granted by the Night Watch buff.

He sensed killing intent coming from his side.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He rolled away nimbly.

The dagger in his hand silently encircled the neck of the fully armed security guard.

A cold light flashed.

He felt a slight resistance.

But this resistance only lasted for a moment.

Then the throat was cut cleanly.

[Scavenger buff 'Tear Steel', effect activated!]

[Your assassination successfully penetrated Trauma Team BTU_7's cybernetic alloy implants]

[Target eliminated!]

[Two-Star Mission in progress, Progress: 1/37]

Next.

The stage was set for the true legend of Detroit.

The curtain had been completely raised.
