Chapter 609 23 Dangerous Prosthesis
Chapter 609 23. Dangerous Prosthesis
“Yo, good morning, Andy. Am I late?”
“Ten minutes past eight, not a minute late.”
“It seems that I still have a good sense of time.”
Looking at KK talking naturally with Captain Andy, the newcomer of the NCPD Special Operations Force was a little stunned.
The reason why he was stunned was not because he saw KK. Although he was surprised by his first meeting with KK in real life, what he cared about more at the moment was…
Why was it a dog that drove KK here?
The new guy was an excellent student at Santo Domingo Community School after all, and his grades were good enough for him to be hired as a full-time employee by some small companies. Of course, he knew dogs, but a dog that could drive and drove Hera to send KK here
Damn it, Mewtwo is just for fun. The real KK is much more bizarre than Mewtwo. Even Mewtwo, which has a bit of fantasy, wouldn’t dare to adopt this kind of setting!
While the newcomer was lost in thought, Karl noticed the young man who was following Andy closely, and asked casually, “Newcomer, are you also starting to lead newcomers?”
“He’s an outstanding student from our Saint Domingo. During his internship, he, several classmates and assisted regular police officers to solve a group of troublemakers called the Whirlpool Gang. What do you think? Our new recruits in the special operations force are pretty good, right?”
When Andy mentioned the newcomer, a smile appeared on his face. For Andy, who has a calm personality, this is a rare performance. Obviously, this newcomer made him very proud and even gave him a sense of accomplishment as a senior.
“He solved a group of troublemakers called the Uzumaki Gang during his internship? That’s quite a feat. No wonder you brought him along to train him.”
The Vortex Gang is one of the most powerful street gangs. These crazy transformation lunatics have never been stingy when it comes to modifying their bodies. In the past, when the NCPD was not well-equipped, a team of NCPD might not be able to capture a formal member of the Vortex Gang.
Even though the NCPD’s overall equipment has been upgraded, the quality of its personnel has improved, and it has various support options, the Vortex Gang is still not an easy opponent for ordinary NCPD police officers to deal with. During the internship period, they were able to cooperate with regular police officers and classmates to resolve the troublemaking Vortex Gang. This can definitely be regarded as submitting a perfect resume right after entering the industry.
After forming a preliminary impression of the newcomer, Karl nodded at the newcomer who had come to his senses, then took something out from his waist and threw it to him: “Just consider it a meeting gift, take it.”
“Huh? Yes.”
The newcomer didn’t realize what Carl threw over, so he caught it subconsciously. But when he looked closely, he found that it was a ‘Kantau A-22B Super’ smart pistol.
“I was planning to try this gun today, but if there happens to be a newcomer here, I’ll give it to you.”
Carl said, smiling at the newcomer: “Although this gun was invented a little too early, it is still quite useful. You can try it.”
“This” newcomer was a little at a loss for a moment holding the gun. He looked down at the gun in his hand, then looked up at Karl, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He received such a gift on their first meeting, and from a figure like Karl. He felt indescribably flattered.
Although he had heard that Carl’s appearance in real life was different from his image in Mewtwo, he still found it a little hard to believe that this easy-going and almost casual person was in front of him.
At this moment, Andy reached out from the side and patted the newcomer on the shoulder. The force was neither light nor heavy, but it was calm and reassuring.
“Take it. I think Carl simply got up early and took the wrong gun. He doesn’t normally use this gun.” Andy’s voice was a little sarcastic, but his eyes glanced at Carl, as if hinting at something.
Hearing this, Karl chuckled: “Andy, it won’t be good if it’s exposed.”
After saying that, Karl’s eyes fell on the newcomer again: “However, since it has been given out, it is yours. Use it well, newcomer.”
The newcomer listened to Karl’s words, tightened the gun in his hand, felt the cold touch from the gun body, and inexplicably felt excited in his heart. He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: “Thank you, I will.”
“Then tell me about today’s situation.”
Carl turned his head and watched Johnny park the car and stagger out of the car. He didn’t pay much attention to him, but looked at Andy and the NCPD officers standing nearby: “How could a murder happen so early in the morning?”
“Cyberpsychosis.”
Andy’s expression became more serious when he talked about the case, but his description was still concise: “He illegally hacked into a clinic, forcibly installed dangerous prostheses, and then went crazy on the street.”
“Is this a black clinic in Watson District?”
Carl frowned. “Old Wei has a good reputation in Watson District. Why don’t they go to Old Wei? At least according to Old Wei’s personality, maybe he can persuade him.” “The person who got that dangerous prosthesis probably used some dirty tricks.”
Andy shook his head and said, “Who in Watson District doesn’t know that you guys are watching over Old Wei? If it’s revealed which scavenger the dangerous prosthesis came from, we might have to cut off the supply. According to the intelligence the bureau has collected recently, some scavengers have set up special ‘no-touch locations’ and trade prosthesis doctors, in case you guys find something wrong and come to deal with them.”
Carl was speechless about what Andy said.
People on both sides of the business and buyers are not clean. They are afraid of exposing something. When you think about it this way, becoming a cyber psychopath seems to be your own fault.
However, despite their evil deeds, the dangers of cyberpsychosis are still there.
“How many people died this time?”
“Because we happened to be patrolling nearby, no citizens were harmed. But if we were not nearby, that might not be the case.”
After Andy said it simply, he glanced at the police officers who were still busy, and then his eyes moved to Johnny Silverhand: “Is this the help you said you would come to help?”
“I guess so. He’s a bionic dog. He’s very good at fighting. Um, Johnny, just call him Johnny.”
“What an interesting name.”
Andy thought for a moment and then remembered something: “I heard you and Brown mention this, Kerry’s old friend, the famous one?”
“uh-huh.”
“Then it seems I don’t need to be surprised or ask anything about this.”
Andy didn’t care much about this. Compared to Johnny’s silver hand on a dog, he was more concerned about the case. “I wanted to take you on patrol today, but a cyberpsychosis incident happened today. In order to prevent this from happening again, I plan to catch the tail along this line. When my people went to the black clinic, the cyborg doctor had already run away. But we still found some clues, so we may have to set off later.”
“Where?”
“It’s the Uzumaki Gang’s territory. The prosthetic may be related to them.”
“A dangerous prosthesis made by that bunch of crazy transformation people? That’s not surprising. So when are you going to go there?”
“Wait a moment.”
After Andy received some information, he gave a few instructions to the surrounding police officers and gestured to the law enforcer parked nearby: “It’s been a long time since you took a police car. Come on in. Let the driver from Santo Domingo take you.”
“Just the few of us?”
Carl looked at the police officers who didn’t take any action, then looked at Andy and the newcomer he brought with him: “You really are making the best use of everything.”
“It’s enough to use a cannon to kill a mosquito. There’s no need to bring more people. The bureau is busy right now. There’s no time to send more people. Mr. Johnson has been busy as hell lately.”
“Then I hope he can keep what little hair he has.”
While Carl and Andy were having a dull conversation, the newcomer sat in the back seat of the car. He realized something when he saw a dog sitting next to him with its legs crossed and smoking a cigarette with its paws.
They went straight to the Uzumaki Gang. Then, just three people and a dog?
The newcomer looked at KK who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
Ok.
There seem to be too many people.
