But the ceiling fan hanging on the ceiling was still spinning slowly.

A circle of red light centered on Su Xiao and spread in all directions.

After scanning, it was confirmed again that there was no one else in the house except the basement.

"We'll check the first floor first, then the second floor, and finally go to the basement."

After finalizing the plan, the three of them started taking action.

Lucy went to check the debris piled on the left, Rebecca went to the living room sofa, and Zhi

Can you take a look at the home equipment to see if you can find anything?

Su Xiao turns to the right.

Finally, after a careful search, Su Xiao found a separate chip storage box on the table opposite the TV.

With a light press, the storage box opens.

Su Xiao takes out the stored separation chip.

After thinking about it, I inserted it into the slot of Tactical Goggles.

The content of the separation chip pops up in the field of view:

"I'm sorry"

Juliette,

Please forgive me for doing this. I am far from being as strong as you, and I can no longer pretend.

I hate to say it, but there's nothing you can do to save Rose, so at least don't get yourself involved before it's too late.

If you change your mind, I'll be waiting for you at "Sunset Motel".

Think about it again, please.

forever yours,

race

Chapter 87 Healing Cyberpsychosis, one bullet at a time (4K)

After seeing the separation chip, Su Xiao passed the separation chip to Lucy and Rebecca.

After they also watched it, Lucy said it first.

"It seems that having something to do at home is not an excuse to excuse Old Captain, but something really is going on at home."

Rebecca also thought, "This "Sai" should be Juliette's husband, but who is Rose? Juliette's sister? Or a friend?"

Lucy shook his head.

"Rather than this, I'm more worried about this woman named Rose. What's wrong with her? Is she sick?"

Su Xiao put the separated chip he found back into its place. "But the tone of the game and the anti-detection jammer installed in the basement don't seem to be as simple as being sick."

"The intelligence collected so far is not enough. Let's continue to look inside and see what we can find."

The three of them walked through the living room, rummaged through the messy room, and found a separation chip again.

The content inside is about the test results of Rose Horrigan.

Although various physical tests slightly exceeded the standards, according to the standards of Night City, this is actually considered healthy.

Not even sub-healthy.

But compared with his physical health, his mental state was in terrible condition and he was in urgent need of psychological counseling.

"Rose Horrigan?"

Su Xiao chewed on this name.

If I remember correctly, the full name of Old Captain's subordinate is also called Juliette Horrigan.

It seems that Rose is the sister of Juliette.

It's just that... the mental condition is getting worse and worse. What does this mean?

It can't be Cyberpsychosis, right?

"Su, look what that is?"

Looking in the direction Lucy pointed, Su Xiao noticed an oil painting that had fallen to the ground deeper in the room.

The three of them followed the oil painting and realized that it had fallen from the wall.

And where the oil painting should have been, there was a safe embedded in the wall.

This oil painting couldn't have fallen to the ground for no reason.

It should be when Juliette opened the oil painting and wanted to take something out of the safe or put something in...

Something unexpected happened suddenly, causing her to leave in a hurry without even having time to put the oil painting back in its place.

Su Xiao stepped forward to check and found that the safe was locked.

Can't open.

But since it is Juliette's home safe, if you look carefully, you will definitely find the key.

But maybe it doesn't have to be that troublesome.

Because there is a powerful hacker next to Su Xiao.

"Want me to hack?"

"Please."

"Done."

Lucy took less than a minute to electronically pry open the safe.

The three of them looked inside curiously.

But when the safe was opened and the contents inside were clearly seen, it was beyond their expectations.

In the huge safe, there was only one chip lying quietly, and an "M-76E Omaha" Tech Pistol produced by Militech.

"No money? No money?"

Rebecca was the first to pounce.

The little hands were rummaging around in the safe.

Finally, she even stuck her cute little head into the safe.

I want to see if there are any mezzanines or hidden spaces inside.

This made both Su Xiao and Lucy laugh.

Lucy took out the chip and blinked at Su Xiao: "Do you want to confirm the chip?"

"Well, it's always good to make sure. What if it doesn't contain the data Old Captain wants? We can't have to make another trip after we leave."

So Lucy inserted the chip into Neural Slots behind his head.

A bright blue light appeared in his eyes.

Soon, she confirmed it.

"That's right, it's the data Old Captain wants."

She popped the chip out of Neural Slots, put it in the storage box, and handed it to Su Xiao.

At this time, Rebecca, the cute little girl, finally reluctantly took her head back out of the safe.

But she was still very persistent in talking about it.

"How come there is no money? No, this shouldn't be the case."

Generally speaking

, the richest among mercenaries are not combatants who fight against the enemy.

But for hackers, Electronic Warfare Specialist is not good at fighting.

Every computer connected to the Internet has information hidden inside.

Some information is trivial and useless, such as recipes or notes;

But most information is of immeasurable value:

--New business plans, inside stock market information, confidential blueprints, blackmail messages, hot-selling programs and software that have just been launched, a large amount of money that can be transferred to one's own bank account, the classic formula of Coke...

Only hackers can freely access Cyberspace and obtain this information for you.

Another important role of hackers is to provide support for other cyber mercenary teams.

If you need to transport someone to a high security military base.

Then you definitely need one, or several senior hackers.

Help you hack into the floor plan of the military base, control the security system, open the base door, and even manipulate surveillance cameras and observation equipment for eavesdropping.

Therefore, most Cyber Mercenary teams that carry out major missions have at least one hacker in their ranks.

Used to gather intelligence related to classified areas and operational obstructions.

Of course, where there is a spear, there is a shield. Mega Corporation himself has a large group of professional hackers to protect his data fortress or conduct espionage activities for the company.

Because of this, Rebecca was surprised that there was not a single euro in the safe.

Unless all the money is in the account.

But that is absolutely impossible.

The reason why cash is still in circulation in 2077 is because electronic money can be canceled and tracked at any time.

Therefore, everyone from company employees to Cyber Mercenary to company executives and wealthy people will prepare cash.

It's not like there are people who keep all their money in accounts.

But without exception, in the end I was so regretful that my intestines were blue.

You made a mistake yourself, or your boss made a mistake but let you take the blame, resulting in you being fired from the company.

Not only are all the prosthetic bodies given to you by the company remotely closed, but also the Trauma Team membership package has been wiped off for you.

What's even more shocking is that your account has been canceled for you.

It's not a freeze, it's a direct logout.

All the money inside is gone.

If you did not leave any cash, but all the money was in your account, then congratulations, all your years of hard work in Mega Corporation will be in vain.

Returning to the pre-liberation period overnight belongs to me.

"Maybe she has another safe in the house, which is installed separately?"

Rebecca still doesn't give up.

Come up with the most reasonable explanation.

Seeing that Rebecca was so obsessed with money, Su Xiao smiled and pointed at the Tech Pistol in the safe, "Rebecca, take this gun."

"Don't you want it?"

"No, you're welcome, it's yours."

Tech Weapons Su Xiao can make it by himself. The "Omaha" of Militech is the same as the "Kenshin" of Arasaka, both of which have three consecutive shots.

You can make it anytime if you want.

Next to the safe, there is a computer.

Has been in a dormant state.
