Mann was forced to the end of the sofa, and Dorio's face was forced in front of him.

"Mann, tell me the truth, is this commission given by Old Captain?"

Mann's voice was a little hollow. "Who issued the commission, is it so important? The sponsor's father is willing to pay for the work, and we will do it. Of course, if you think this work is too risky, I will turn around and refuse."

Dorio drawled his tone.

"Mann--"

"Okay, okay, I surrender. Don't look at me like that again," Mann paused before continuing, "This job is not from Old Captain."

Dorio's eyelids twitched.

She knew it!

Old Captain won't be like this.

But she still refused to let Mann go and continued to press her.

"Who sent that? Tell the truth!"

Mann blushed and whispered, "It's Faraday..."

"What?!"

There was an exclamation in the box.

sa

Sha, Rebecca and Pila all stared at Mann with disbelief.

Mann felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"Why are you reacting so violently? This is not the first time we have cooperated with Faraday. Haven't we worked for him before?"

"Didn't we already talk to Old Captain? Why are you... you..." Dorio was so angry that she couldn't speak a complete sentence. Finally, she stabbed Mann's temple with her finger. "What on earth are you thinking, Mann?"

Mann argued.

"The risk of this trip seems high, but in fact it is not that high. I went to Corporate Plaza for on-site inspection. After about one or two o'clock in the morning, Corporate Plaza becomes extremely deserted, and all those Corp Dog are off work."

Dorio was not fooled. "What about the NCPD patrolling Corporate Plaza? And the security situation of the company building?"

Mann spoke eloquently as if he had a well-thought-out plan.

"NCPD exists, but not many. Since Corporate Plaza was bombed into the sky by Johnny·Silverhand in 2023, in the past few decades, have you seen when Corporate Plaza has caused trouble again?"

"Coincidentally, the NCPD thinks the same way. They are all getting a dead salary, so why are they working so hard?"

"As for company security... There are no security personnel in the Biotechnology building. The reason is what I just said."

A suspicious look appeared on Dorio's face. "How do you know, have you been in there?"

"There is a guy I know who works at Biotechnology. I gave him some money and told him everything. This is not information that needs to be kept secret, and he is not afraid of leaking it."

Mann stood up from the sofa, walked to the corner of the box, and met the eyes of others looking over.

"Why do you think I took Faraday's job? Do you think I just like hanging out with that son of a bitch Faraday?"

"I just look tall, and I'm not stupid. How could I step into it knowing that there is a trap in front of me?"

Sasha, who was sitting with Rebecca, suddenly asked.

"How much did Faraday pay?"

Everyone else looked over in surprise. "Sasha?"

"Eighteen thousand."

Sasha lowered his head and calculated silently in his heart. "If Falco is included, then everyone can get a reward of three thousand."

Falco is the driver of team Mann.

Strictly speaking, he is not a formal member of the Mann team, but when Mann and the others need to use the car, they will call Falco.

His driving skills are definitely among the best at Night City.

Therefore, he is also called the Night City version of Fujiwara Takumi.

As if he could read Sasha's inner thoughts, Mann said, "No, each of us will get two thousand for this job, and the rest is yours."

"Mann, do you mean..." Dorio's eyes widened.

"Although the Biotechnology building does not have security personnel, it does have a lot of security measures. In our team, you are the only hacker, and only you can enter."

Now Dorio was really angry. "Mann! Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Am I like that kind of dictator? I didn't force Sasha. If Sasha doesn't want to, we can just not accept the commission. I'm just asking what's wrong?"

"I have already thought of a specific action plan."

"I contacted one of Old Captain's subordinates. Her name is Juliette. She also specializes in poaching companies like Zeta Tech and Biotechnology."

"I got a jammer from her that can cut off the automatic alarm system of the Biotechnology building, but it can only work for five minutes."

"Once the alarm is triggered, Biotechnology's security robot will rush over in about two minutes. In other words, as long as we get the data before then and leave, the job is complete."

"From the time you enter the building, it takes about two minutes to reach the office where the data needs to be stolen, and then it takes about a minute for you to enter the terminal in the office, bypass ICE, find and transmit the data."

"If all goes well, when you leave the building, that's when the jammer stops working."

"It doesn't matter if it takes more than ten seconds. As I said, even if the alarm is triggered, Biotechnology's security robot will not arrive until at least two minutes later. We have enough time to leave."

"How about it, Sasha, are you willing?"

"If you are willing to take the risk, we will take you to the door of the Biotechnology building in a few hours and wait for you outside."

Dorio scratched his hair.

"Mann, I can't say..."

Facing Mann's expectant gaze, Sasha said firmly, "I do."

Two o'clock in the morning.

A car drove into Corporate Plaza and stopped slowly on the side of the road.

Just like what Mann said, Corporate Plaza at two o'clock in the morning is eerily quiet.

Humans are not machines and cannot operate around the clock.

There is always time to rest.

At two o'clock in the morning, even the first-class Mega Corporation, the lights in the building are turned off.

There was no one on Corporate Plaza, and it was so quiet that it was a bit scary.

Only the electric lamps that provide lighting are left, as well as the 24-hour continuous yellow carp projection and blue carp projection, surrounding

Cruise slowly around the square in the middle of the Mega Corporation building.

"Sasha, you still have time to regret now..."

"I'll be out soon."

Before Dorio could finish what he said, Sasha opened the car door, carried his shoulder bag, and jumped out of the car without hesitation.

Walk quickly towards the Biotechnology building.

"Mann, I hope your bad plan will work best, otherwise I won't let you go."

"Don't worry, as long as Sasha acts according to the plan, there will be no problem."

Biotechnology The door of the building is tightly closed.

Except for the lights on the outside of the walls and the holographic billboards, most floors and interiors of the entire building were plunged into darkness.

The same is true not only for Biotechnology, but also for other Mega Corporation buildings on Corporate Plaza.

After all, humans are not robots and can work around the clock.

No matter how hard the capitalists squeeze us, they will still have to give up sleep time reluctantly.

If there is no one in the building, you only need to deal with the monitors.

The brain is thinking, and the pace of the feet does not stop.

Sasha walked quickly to the closed door of the building.

Pull a pink personal connection cable from your wrist and plug it into the terminal on the wall next to the door.

It only took less than a minute for her to hack and open the closed door.

The jammer in the satchel worked, cutting off the automatic alarm system that should have been sent out by the building terminal due to the hack.

"Mann is right, this thing is really useful."

Sasha calmed down a little, and instead of rushing in, she squatted by the door and looked inside.

It can be clearly seen that in the dark hall on the first floor, golden light flashes from time to time.

This is the scan indicator that comes with the camera.

As we all know, monitoring is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

In reality, unless it is to call up surveillance and check certain specific people or vehicles.

If you work for eight hours and the job content is just to stare at the monitor...

Very few people will do it.

One reason is that it is very boring and boring, even more uncomfortable than looking at the front door.

Another reason is that it hurts the eyes. If you stare at the monitor for eight hours, your eyesight will skyrocket.

Therefore, "Winter Moon Electronics", a company that sells surveillance equipment, developed a scanning indicator that is included with the camera.

As the name suggests, if the person "seen" by the scanning indicator is not one of your own personnel who has been set in advance, an alert will be automatically sent.

This is much better than watching the surveillance with human eyes.

The golden light is emitted by the scanning indicator.

Sasha saw the right opportunity and rushed into the hall while the golden light emitted by the scanning indicator turned to other directions.

Then before the camera turns back, climb over the service desk not far from the main entrance and hide behind the service desk.

She plugged her personal cable into the slot on the service desk.

Turn off all surveillance cameras in the lobby on the first floor.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the communication channel, Mann's slightly anxious urging voice also popped up.

"Sasha, are you in? Move quickly, the jammer won't last long."

Sasha did not respond.

Even saying a word at this time is a waste of time.

After entering the elevator, while waiting for the elevator to rise to the target floor, Sasha took out a piece of bubble gum from his bag.

Peel off the candy coating and put it in your mouth.

She used to eat a piece of bubble gum when she was in action.

This allows her to enter the state better and perform stably.

The elevator reaches the target floor quickly.

Sasha glanced at the time.

There are still three minutes and forty seconds left before the jammer ends.

She ran in the dark corridor.

Hack and turn off surveillance cameras along the road.

Finally, I succeeded in standing in front of the target office with three minutes left.

The office door only blocked her for a few seconds before it was hacked open.

Take three steps and two steps at a time to reach the office chair.
