The fact that the son of the legendary Andrew "Old Snake" Wayland is willing to work for Roger is enough to show that Roger is not a mean person.

From another perspective, anyone who has cheated Rogge may really be a sinkhole.

Night falls.

Elsewhere in Japantown, a whole night of carnival has just begun.

But this place, Shinto Shrine, located in North Oak, is deserted.

There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and it took half an hour for a car to pass by.

The torii gate of the shrine is open.

However, there are two surveillance cameras placed on the left and right of the torii gate, monitoring the situation at the door in all directions.

In the middle of the camera, there is a hidden Auto Turret.

It is in dormant state at the moment.

But once alerted, it will start immediately and pour out a torrent of metal mercilessly towards the intruder.

Su Xiao, already wearing Falcione, approached quietly from outside.

Because Optical Camouflage has been activated.

Now Su Xiao is considered invisible, but it is not completely invisible.

Because it changes the brightness or color of the clothing itself to achieve the effect of integrating with the surrounding environment, rather than becoming invisible in the true sense.

So if you look carefully at where he is, you will still see a sudden, distorted blur of air.

Of course.

If you hide in the shadows, you won't be able to spot it easily.

In a short time, Su Xiao had approached the outer buildings of the shrine.

He stepped on the wall and used the force to jump.

The whole person rose rapidly and leaped into the sky.

Falling on the roof of the building.

Half squatting on the roof, Su Xiao looked down.

In front of him was a courtyard surrounded by several buildings.

The courtyard is spacious, elegant and quiet.

If it is daytime, there will be an endless stream of tourists here.

But now, there are only Tiger Claws Gang standing guard and patrolling.

The building under my feet should be a hand water house.

It is a place used to clean hands and mouth.

Directly opposite me, at the other end of the courtyard, are the worship hall (to worship and pray), the coin hall (to worship coins and silk), and the main hall (the place where the gods live).

Use the Tactical Goggles built into the helmet to scan the entire shrine.

Soon, Su Xiao found the red humanoid outline marked as Ken.

The location is in a room in the worship hall.

But Su Xiao did not go there immediately. Instead, he decided to go to the control room located in the social affairs office and kill everyone inside.

If only he could kill him unconsciously.

Then Wakako and Tiger Claws Gang both know that there is probably a connection with Rogge behind this matter.

Since Rogge didn't want to be associated with her, Su Xiao simply did nothing but perform all the dramas.

Simply disguise it as a small-scale gang conflict.

Pretend Ken to be a fish in the pond who is accidentally affected.

The social affairs office is right next to the hand water house.

Su Xiao from hand

He jumped off the roof of the water house and took three steps at a time to arrive at a side door of the social office.

Open the door, quickly enter, and then close the door behind you.

The shrine office is the place where clergy handle shrine affairs.

The so-called handling of shrine affairs refers to handling formal requests for worship, handling donation requests, preparing for festivals, etc.

After entering the door, there is an aisle that turns right.

Compared with the elaborate decoration outside the shrine, this aisle looks much inferior.

Not only was it dirty, there was also a lot of carelessly thrown garbage scattered on the ground.

Su Xiao had just closed the door, and a Tiger Claws Gang who had finished his shift and was getting ready to go back to the dormitory to rest came from the aisle.

This Tiger Claws Gang stared at the surveillance camera for a whole day, and everything he looked at seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

He yawned and wished he could go back to sleep immediately.

But before he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall and was knocked back two steps.

He was stunned for a moment.

Then I was shocked to see a figure in silver armor appear where there should have been nothing.

He subconsciously wanted to scream.

But the next second.

A cold light flashed.

His neck was almost completely cut open.

Blood splattered.

The body fell limp and weak.

Su Xiao looked down and saw that he had already revealed himself.

Then throw his body into the trash can.

This is the flaw of Optical Camouflage equipped with Falcione.

If you initiate an attack on your own initiative, or suffer a collision/attack.

It will appear.

There is currently no solution to this problem.

Even the most advanced Optical Camouflage implants developed by each Mega Corporation are the same.

After the effect of Optical Camouflage is released, the nanocomputer on the clothing needs to re-acquire the surrounding environment information, which requires about 60 seconds of buffering time.

Or it can also be said to be the cooling time.

However, Su Xiao did not stay where he was and waited, but continued to walk inside.

Because he already knew it through scanning.

At the end of the corridor is the room where shrine staff receive visitors.

There is no one there now.

On the right is the control room.

There are only three Tiger Claws Gang.

Su Xiao Open the door of the monitoring room.

There are three members of Tiger Claws Gang inside, watching the surveillance.

When they heard the sound of the door opening behind them, they all turned their heads in confusion.

Then I saw two rows of small launch holes rising from the shoulders on both sides of Su Xiao.

Puff puff puff--

Dozens of rounds of smart shotguns, with clearly visible tail smoke, sieved the three Tiger Claws Gang who were caught off guard in the control room.

Walking to the surveillance equipment, Su Xiao called up all the surveillance records, deleted them all, and turned off all the cameras in the shrine.

Then, he took out a delayed-detonation bomb and placed it under the monitoring equipment.

After coming out of the control room, he entered the room where the clergy received tourists and planted the bomb.

Then he opened the window of the social affairs office and jumped out.

In a room in the worship hall.

A woman wearing a black vest, military trousers and military boots was wearing a pair of boxing gloves and beating a sandbag crazily.

The sandbag looked very heavy at first glance.

But he was beaten violently by a woman.

The fair skin was covered with a fine layer of sweat.

Chest rises and falls violently.

Picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded outside the worship hall.

The earth trembled and the mountains shook.

I couldn't hold the mineral water firmly and fell from my hand.

Wet a large area on your body.

Ken was shocked and subconsciously squatted on the ground.

Carefully discern the situation outside.

What can be heard is that in addition to the explosion that just sounded, there are also the chaotic footsteps and shouts of Tiger Claws Gang who was alarmed.

"There was an explosion. Could it be an attack by a hostile gang?"

Ken knows that Tiger Claws Gang's enemy is Vortex Gang.

Because Tiger Claws Gang not only occupies Japantown, the most developed Night City entertainment, but also reaches out to Watson District and takes Kabuki District under his command.

And Watson District's local snake, Vortex Gang is very dissatisfied with this.

The conflict that broke out between Vortex Gang and Tiger Claws Gang was not just once or twice.

Of course, it is still very rare to directly attack the opponent's stronghold like this, even using explosives.

But no matter what, since this stronghold has been attacked, Ken doesn't plan to stay any longer.

She has not officially joined Tiger Claws Gang, so there is no need to work for Tiger Claws Gang.

Ken picked up his "Ajax" Kinetic Assault Rifle from the weapon rack in front of the wall.

First remove the magazine and make sure it is full.

Then reload the magazine.

I was ready to bend down and leave here.

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the room quickly from outside. Ken didn't even think about it. The muscle memory she had developed as a mercenary for many years made her instinctively raise her gun and shoot.

A series of bullets were shot out quickly, heading towards the opponent.

What shocked her was that the opponent didn't even try to dodge, he rushed towards her and punched her.

Bang!

Ken felt as if his abdomen had been hit by a heavy truck.

Similar.
