Chapter 277 Success
Chapter 277 Success
(No choice, I came back late today, so I will update a 4,000-word chapter.)
"Bobby, check them." The leading guard said to the bank security guard.
Arturo and Alberta were a little nervous, but Arturo was fine. Alberta knew that in Night City, no one could be trusted.
So Alberta put his hands in the inside pockets of his suit so he could draw his gun and shoot at any time.
Luckily, Bobby acted according to the plan and nothing serious went wrong…for now.
"They're fine," Poppy replied.
The guard gestured for permission, "I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. Please come in."
Arturo and Alberta then swaggered into the bank's door. In the corridor, Arturo gave Bobby a thumbs up.
Entering the bank's vault, Arturo finally got what he had been longing for, a data chip containing DMS's dirty laundry.
Alberta looked at the vault and was dazzled by the dazzling array of gold, silver and jewelry. She wanted to pack up everything there.
Arturo saw Alberta was lost in thought and immediately reminded her, "Alberta, we only have three minutes, or the NCPD will be here."
"No, Arturo, I like it here."
Arturo grabbed Alberta by the back of her neck and pulled her out, saying to her, "Are you crazy? The police are here. If you don't leave now, it will be too late."
Yes, that's why Arturo said they only had three minutes. Representatives from big companies usually arrived twenty minutes after the power outage.
But the NCPD cops are like a group of cattle and horses. They have to rush to the bank early to ensure that nothing in the vault is lost.
Otherwise, those company dogs won't feed them fodder and may even lose their jobs as slaves.
Bobby was sitting on a chair in the bank lobby, sweating profusely as he realized he had forgotten something.
The bank was robbed, but how did the thieves get in? There was no gunfight, and the bank showed no signs of being damaged.
That means there is a mole in the bank. Bobby doesn't think he can escape the bank's internal investigation. Once they find him out, he will be finished.
The NCPD cops walked into the bank lobby, talking and laughing. Coincidentally, Arturo and his team also walked out of the vault, and the two teams bumped into each other.
Bobby was sweating profusely, he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.
I said silently in my heart, 'I'm sorry, Arturo, I can't let you ruin my life. I always wanted to prove that I'm not just a security guard, yes, I can be a real policeman.'
Every time these NCPD cops come to the bank to guard the bank after a power outage, they always mock Bobby, the bank security guard. This seems to be the only fun they have here.
After a while, Bobby couldn't stand the discrimination from these guys anymore. He wanted to prove himself to these cops, to prove that he was not a loser and that he could become a policeman.
Bobby clenched his teeth and prepared himself mentally, so much so that his body kept shaking.
Suddenly, he made a decision.
Bobby pointed his gun at Arturo and the others and shouted, "Damn it, put your hands up!"
The cops were shocked and didn't understand what was going on.
It was not until they saw Arturo raise his hands and confess that the cops realized that these people were not representatives of the company, but just a group of shameful thieves.
Alberta smiled a little, as if to say, 'See, Arturo, I was right.'
Arturo glanced at Alberta from the corner of his eye and said in shock: "Alberta, you're still laughing? We're done!"
Alberta reached into her clothes without paying attention to anyone else and said to Arturo, "In Night City, everyone looks out for themselves. Do you understand?"
Alberta was about to pull out his gun and shoot at the cops when he saw their heads tilt and they lost consciousness.
"Who is it?" Alberta asked vigilantly.
Ling Luxian connected to their communication and said, "It's me. It's best not to use guns here. It will make too much noise."
"You killed them all?" Alberta asked.
Ling Lu replied: "How is that possible? These cops are just doing their jobs to make a living. I have no grudges against them, so there is no need to kill them.
I just implanted a system reset puppet in them, let them have a good sleep, and then go back to the prosthetic clinic and "restart" them. "
Alberta said with a strange expression: "I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."
Arturo patted his chest and said, "Huh, that's good, that's good." He also didn't want to see bloody conflict.
Bobby saw all the cops fainting on the ground, and he was so scared that he put his hands on his head and squatted behind a chair.
"What is he going to do?" Alberta asked.
"Oh!" Ling Luxian slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about him."
Ling Luxian also reset Bobby's system and said, "It's not easy for him either. After all, his life was ruined by Arturo. You can run away at any time, but Bobby can't. If he is caught by the bank, he won't be able to withstand the scrutiny."
"You mean, let him go?" Alberta said in disbelief.
"I personally think this way. Alberta, aren't you a habitual traitor? Let him go, and let yourself go." Ling Luxian then added, "Of course, the choice is entirely in your hands."
Alberta looked at Bobby, who was kneeling on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart, and asked Arturo.
"Arturo, what do you think?"
"Oh." Arturo sighed and said, "It's all because I didn't think carefully. Don't blame him. Just let him go, Alberta."
Hearing Arturo say this, Alberta let go of the resentment in his heart. They didn't have anything to lose anyway, right?
"Let's go then," Alberta urged.
She knew that what was happening here could not be kept secret for long. Once these cops lost contact, NCPD would be notified soon.
Arturo and Alberta strode out of the bank door and found that the bank guards had also been knocked down.
"You made these too?"
Alberta was very impressed by this legendary mercenary, who killed so many people without even showing up.
Even though he knew they were not dead, Alberta knew in his heart that it would be effortless for Ling Luxian to kill them.
"I did it, you're welcome. Also, get out of there, the cops seem to know what happened here."
Even though no guns were fired at the bank, the cops were aware that something was amiss.
Ling Luxian could hack into the cameras and make the cops and security guards fall asleep without making a sound. But that was the problem. If so many cops lost their communication in an instant, even a dog would know that something was wrong.
Arturo and the other man quickly ran into the alley where the rearview mirror had parked the car and got into the back of the car.
After waiting for a long time, she found that the rearview mirror had not started. Alberta couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what are you doing? The police are coming soon, why don't you run away?"
"Shh~" The rearview mirror made a gesture for silence.
He adjusted the knob of the car's radio in the rearview mirror and listened to the news.
"Last week, DMS delivered new harmless Mewtwo to Night City Prison. After coming into contact with these Mewtwo, some prisoners could not bear the experience, and Fenfen committed suicide in the prison.
According to the official report of Night City Prison, thirteen prisoners, including Hong Jin..., committed suicide in prison..."
Before he finished listening, Rearview Mirror turned off the radio.
As the story goes, Hong Jin is Rearview Mirror's brother. Rearview Mirror agreed to help Arturo because he helped her brother, but now her brother is dead.
Arturo looked sad. Even though he didn't do it, he still believed that he was responsible.
If Arturo hadn't modified the Mewtwo content without authorization, Hong Jin might not have committed suicide because of DMS's Mewtwo. It was all his fault. Arturo once again regretted not thinking it through.
"What? Your brother...rearview mirror, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, your brother would..."
Alberta pouted unhappily. "It's already this late. Stop reminiscing. If we don't leave now, we'll be beaten to a pulp by the cops."
“Shut up, Alberta.” Arturo was rarely angry. “Her brother is dead…”
The rearview mirror took a deep breath and calmed down.
"You know what? My mom always wanted my brother and I to be the best criminals in Night City. Whenever one of us made a big move, she would taunt the other and incite the confrontation.
After Hong Jin was sentenced to 300 years, she told me that she would never be as good as Hong Jin. Now, do you know why I hated Hong Jin before?
To be honest, I always thought that he and I hated each other as much as we did. Unexpectedly, he actually loved me, and I loved him too.
Thank you, Arturo, for giving him a little peace in his final moments. So, Arturo, you don't have to apologize for this.
Now, I have to do what I should do.”
After saying this, Rearview Mirror stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Ling Luxian, who was on the other end of the line, heard about what happened to the rearview mirror and never thought that there would be such a beastly mother in the world. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but this old woman is even worse than a beast. Ling Luxian was so angry that he felt dizzy.
Ling Luxian knew what Rearview Mirror wanted to do next, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't mind helping Rearview Mirror fulfill this dream.
Looking at the yellow sports car speeding along the street, even if the police were not very smart, they knew that this was the robber they were looking for.
At the beginning, there were not many police cars chasing Arturo and his men, until Ling Lu added a ladle of water to the pot of hot oil.
Ling Luxian detonated the engines of those police cars. Fortunately, the armor of the police cars was thick enough, so the cops were not killed by the engine explosion, but this prevented them from chasing anymore.
The NCPD was immediately enraged when they saw this and sent out several police cars to chase Arturo and his gang.
Those working in the media rushed to the scene after smelling the odor, which also put some pressure on the NCPD.
On the other side, the mother in the rearview mirror was looking at the headlines of WNS News. She had long been accustomed to pursuing big scenes.
Until I saw a familiar car in the camera, surrounded by NCPD.
[Hello everyone, welcome to WNS channel, this is Alif Iqbal. ]
[Breaking news, the Akukaga & Finch Bank was robbed this morning. The thief gang is currently being sought by the police, who have deployed 20 police cars, four tactical teams, and a floating vehicle, which is the highest record for the police pursuit.]
【…………WNS News will continue to report for you. 】
The mother in the rearview mirror sat up straight and boasted to her gang brothers: "Aha! See? This is my big girl! This is my daughter!"
Rearview Mirror's mother was very happy, but Arturo and the others were very anxious.
Ah San Ge Jiayep kept complaining in the team voice: "What have you done? The police are serious now! Twenty-four police cars, twenty-two regular teams, six tactical teams, and a fucking terrorist mobile team! Even I can't protect you now."
Kashyap was drunk and lying on Arturo's doorstep. When Arturo came home, Kashyap thought he was a criminal and pointed a gun at Arturo's head.
However, Arturo did not hold a grudge against him and not only took him home, but also took good care of Kasyapa, which made Kasyapa owe Arturo a favor.
Kasyapa was extremely anxious, but for Arturo's sake, even though he was unhappy with Alberta, he still chose to help them.
But now, the topic has become so big that Kasyapa can't get off the hook. If Kasyapa was a heartless person, he would have sold out Arturo and the others long ago, but unfortunately he is not.
All of this is Ling Luxian's fault. Originally, no matter how big a fuss Arturo made, he would at most be rated three and a half or four stars.
After Ling Luxian joined, he destroyed a lot of NCPD police cars, and the cops immediately raised the wanted order to the highest level. I guess they have already given him enough face.
Ling Luxian didn't want to make things worse. If he continued to make trouble, more than just the terrorist squad would come. He was afraid that the Centaur mechas that had just been delivered to the NCPD would also be deployed, and then things would get serious.
Let alone the others, the paparazzi in the media would love to see this. Therefore, Ling Luxian decided to start with the media.
The dashboard of the News 54 and WNS hovercraft quickly emitted sparks, and then black smoke came out with a "bang" and it hit the ground hard.
This not only eliminated the eyes and ears of the media, but Ling Luxian also guided the WNS hovercraft to crash into the Terrorist Squad's hovercraft before it crashed.
Unfortunately, the Terrorist Squad was hit on the head and crashed, even paralyzed in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the police car. This caused the NCPD to curse repeatedly, saying that the media were a group of flies seeing blood.
The rearview mirror saw the opportunity to turn into the tunnel and activated the backup plan, thus escaping the police pursuit.
Kasyapa was relieved to see Arturo and his companions escape successfully.
The NCPD was furious when they saw that they had lost the target, and even more furious when they saw the media's hovercraft. However, they had no choice but to obey the command and rescue them.
In this robbery, not to mention the stolen items, the only casualty was the unlucky cameraman. He lost his grip when the hovercraft crashed and fell directly off.
Others, including police officers, suffered only minor injuries, which became a curiosity in Night City for a time.
