Go Into the Muck 198

Chapter 198 – Cyberpunk: Edgerunner (13)

Seojun and members of the Edge Runner crew, who were seated in the Afterlife room, looked at each other for a moment.

It was Seojun who opened fire first.

“So, you are the people who will work with me?”

“That’s right. “I am the leader and main of the Edge Runner crew.”

Main, the leader of the Edge Runner crew, answered.

The thick mid-bass tone went well with the rugged exterior.

“And here, in that order, are Dorio, Rebecca, and Sasha.”

“Please take care of me.”

“Hello!”

“Nice to meet you.”

Various greetings.

Seojun nodded lightly and accepted.

“I am Seojun Lee.”

“I’m asking just in case, are you the famous problem solver B?”

“Okay. I am Solver B. These days, he is more commonly called a sword demon or sword master.”

“Her. I never thought I would see the living legend of Night City in person. This is an honor. “He certainly has a handsome face, just like the rumors say.”

“I appreciate the compliment, but it doesn’t make me feel good when I hear it from a man, so leave it at that.”

“Haha. Let’s do that.”

Gulp-

Main drank whiskey.

“So, do you have any questions for us regarding this request?”

“Hmm.”

Seojun touched his chin for a moment.

“I want to know what you guys can do.”

“That’s easy. I am a typical strong soloist. “Leave the battle line to me.”

The main character is Strong Solo, who has most of her body augmented with implants.
She takes charge of the battle lines using her thick subcutaneous armor, projectile launch systems built into her arms, and heavy weapons.

“I’m just like the idiots here.”

The same goes for Main’s lover, Dorio.

Her arms have been replaced with Gorilla Arms prosthetics, and her legs have been replaced with steel prosthetics with guns built into them, and she is in charge of the battle lines along with the main.

“I’m in charge of shooting! “There is no firearm that I cannot handle!”

Despite her small size, Rebecca handled all types of firearms to an expert level.
She has excellent marksmanship, allowing her to aim exactly where she wants even if she shoots roughly in the akimbo style.
As far as Seojun knows, she is one of the most skilled in cyberpunk.

“I specialize in net learning. “Battle is also possible.”

Sasha is a net runner.

But just like Lucy, she also had some degree of skill in combat.

While Lucy uses monowire as her weapon, Sasha’s weapon is the Mantis Blade, which can cut through the steel stored in both of her arms.

“Good balance.”

It was a fact he already knew, but Seojun went out of his way to praise them.

Well, it’s not frequent.

Actually, the balance was good.

“It’s great that an urban legend praises this.”

Main joked.

Seeing that, Seojun also burst into laughter.

“Rather than that, do you work alone?”

“There are net runners supporting me from behind, but I am the only one running on the field.”

“Hoo? A net runner working with a legend.”

The main seemed interesting.

Seojun dismissed that.

“Don’t even think about trying. “I raised him, so I won’t hand him over to anyone.”

“Haha. I didn’t intend to do that from the beginning. I was just curious. “He’s so talented that I’m working with you.”

“Your skills are certain. So much so that it can’t even be compared to a decent net runner.”

By the way.

Seojun added.

“You guys probably received a briefing on this request, right?”

“Of course.”

“Good. Then, from now on, I will tell you how I think.”

Seojun spread three fingers.

First.

Steal the requested items by pretending to trade them. If that is not possible, proceed as is and request additional payment from the client.

Second.

Attack from the front, destroy everything, and take it away.

Third.

They just sneak in and steal things.

“If you have a better idea, tell me.”

Maine seemed to be lost in her thoughts for a moment, then she nodded.

“I leave it entirely up to you. “The only thing I wish for is that if they try to use us as chess pieces and throw us away, I will get rid of them right away.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Main seemed to like Seojun’s firm answer and grinned.

“Haha. Then let’s stop talking about this. Rather, when are you planning to make the request?”

“If possible, I would like to deal with it today but—”

A glance.

Seojun took a look at the Edge Runner crew.

“You guys also need time to prepare, right? Then, let’s disperse here today.”

After finishing speaking, Seojun stood up.

He glanced briefly at Rebecca and Sasha.

Sasha glanced at his face, and Rebecca seemed sad to see Seojun go.

‘It’s good.’

The two seemed to be very interested in Seojun.

Well, I was looking forward to that day because Seojun would soon be able to tell me a lot of things himself.

***

On the day of request.

The group gathered near Melstrom Hideout inspected the operation again.

“The operation is carried out within the second time.”

This is convenient because you don’t have to think about this and that.

Shireung, he drew his sword.

It was a special long sword made with abilities.

“Let’s go.”

Flap-!

He took the lead, waving his long coat.

“Huh? Who are you again?”

One of the gang members guarding the entrance spotted Seojun and opened his mouth to say something, but could not continue until the end.

That’s right.

Suddenly.

Because the head was cut off.

Seojun neatly cut off the head of one of the gang members and immediately turned his body around.
A full moon-shaped slash sweeps the surroundings.

As a result.

Let’s go!

The heads of three other gang members nearby flew into the sky.

It took about 1 second at most.

Seojun, who had taken care of four gang members in an instant, looked back and gestured.

“…”

The Edge Runner crew opened their eyes wide at the overwhelming sight.

Main smiled awkwardly.

Haha. Indeed. “Does that have to be the case to be called a legend of Night City?”

Main thought.

She was confident in close combat, but it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to hold on for even a second if she faced Seojun.
What kind of implant did they put in their body?

‘At first glance, it appears to be bare.’

Looking at it like that.

Among the rumors about Seojun, it occurred to me that he didn’t do much cyberware.

‘Oh, no way.’

It makes no sense.

How could something like that be possible with just one body?

She shook her head and opened her mouth.

“Everyone, let’s come to our senses and follow along.”

Slam!

The main loaded the projectile launch system mounted on her arm.
The Edge Runner crew ran after Seojun, who had gone first.

Toda da da da!

Bullets raining from all directions.

The Edge Runner crew approached Seojun, who was hiding behind the wall.

“The resistance is strong. “Can we break through?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do. But let’s take a look at your skills here.”

Seojun said with a smile.

Main nodded and shouted.

“Rebecca! “Blow it all away!”

“Okay! “You bastards, I’ll sweep them all up!”

Rebecca smiled fiercely at Main’s shout and took out her weapon.
Rebecca held her two tech pistols, painted in her own colors, in both hands and began firing mercilessly at her enemies.

“Kyahahaha!! Damn it! “Let it all fall down!”

Rebecca burst into mad laughter.

She’s a typical trigger-happy who gets a kick out of shooting her guns.
But the skills are clear.

Even though it seemed like a quick shot, the enemies were knocked down.

“Hwiik.”

Seojun whistled.

He was treated as a sharpshooter in the original, but seeing him shoot in person was much better than the original.

‘It’s perfect as a long-distance dealer.’

Seojun licked his lips.

Originally, I had full intentions of bringing him, but it became even stronger.

“There’s this one too.”

Main’s right forearm split, and a huge gun protruded from within.

Eventually, a projectile was launched along with flames.

Kwakwang-!

An explosion occurred at the place where it was hit.

As if a grenade had exploded, the nearby gang members were scattered in six pieces.

The remaining two also showed off their skills.

Dorio uses a power shotgun with almost no recoil, and Sasha uses quick hacks to neutralize enemies.

The number of enemies has steadily decreased.

‘Everyone is good.’

Sereung.

Seojun adjusted his sword.

Now that you’ve roughly figured out your skills, it’s time to make your own move.

Seojun, with a bitter smile, kicked the ground.

Awesome liquid!

A black gust of wind swirled.
