American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

"Wow~"

After listening to Rogge's words, Downton raised his hand and stretched it towards Rogge's left chest.

Looking at Downton's hand, Rogge's eyes moved slightly and her lips pursed slightly, but she did not dodge after all.

Just like that, Downton's fingers gently touched her chest, but to her surprise, Downton did not touch her headlight wrapped in a low-cut dress, but gently touched her upper chest with his fingertips. Tap lightly.

At the same time, Downton laughed.

"I can hear every subtle sound your heart makes. Even if your heart has a momentary arrhythmia, or if the cells in your body react in any way that is different from before, I will be aware of it.

Including short-term changes in pupils, or differences in lung utilization between two breaths, etc., and use this to determine whether what you are telling the truth.

And your reaction tells me that you actually mean what you said!

Why, are you willing to give up your next life to me so easily?

Or is it just like I guessed, you actually have some trouble that you want me to help you solve? "

After saying that, Downton's fingers left Rogge's chest, and then he inserted his fingers into the new wine Claire sent and stirred it.

After letting the ice cubes in the glass begin to swirl, Downton picked up the glass and drank it all.

Looking at Downton who was looking up to drink, Rogge was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, I don't ask you where you got all these messy abilities.

Anyway, you're right, I do have a troublesome thing that I need your help with.

But don’t worry, what I want you to do is not inconsistent with your intention to become a legend of Night City.

I will first give you my advance payment, which is to help you gain the title of legend along the way, and then I will ask you to help me complete that little..."

"Adam Hammer?"

Downton suddenly interrupted Rogge.

Hearing this name from Downton, Rogge was startled, and then he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Adam Hammer has not appeared again in nearly fifty years, and even I can only find some rumors that are both true and false.

To be honest, if it weren't for the stories of Black Hand and the others that were still circulating, Adam Hammer would have become a legend, and few people would even believe that he existed.

So, how did you guess what I was thinking?

Because I really want you to help me fish that bastard Adam Hammer out of corporate cover!

As long as there is a new legendary figure in Night City who is famous for a while and brings considerable harm to Arasaka, then I believe that Adam Hammer will definitely reappear!

After all, no one is more willing to be the company's dog than him!

His lifelong pursuit and pleasure is to kill pretentious guys one after another in a more ferocious way.

And you, Downton, I think you are fully capable of becoming his next prey!

So, I don’t mind doing you some big favors, but are you sure you are willing to help me with this small favor? It’s very important to me..."

"A small favor?"

Downton abruptly interrupted Rogge's words, and his eyes when he looked at Rogge became strange.

Seeing this, Rogge immediately hugged Downton's shoulders tightly and smiled at the same time.

"Okay, I admit that's no small favor, after all, that's Adam Hammer.

Fifty years ago, he had installed a prosthetic body that reached 65%. As for now, I doubt that even 5% of the original parts can be found on him.

In particular, during the occasional intelligence gathering process, I discovered a thing called the Prosthetic King Kong, which is said to be a war machine built in conjunction with a special kind of Sian Westan.

If I'm not mistaken, that thing is the new toy Arasaka created for Adam Hammer.

Although that bastard has not appeared in Night City in the past fifty years, there are many clues about him in the war in the Middle East!

Calling this trouble a small favor would be an understatement.

I……"

"You're mistaken, Roger!"

Downton interrupted Rogge again. He grabbed Rogge's wrist and then pulled Rogge up from his seat.

Downton said with a sneer as he led Rogge towards the door of the next life.

"I mean, you actually think Adam Hammer is worthy of being my trouble?

Stop it, old woman, as long as it can be destroyed by fists, or as long as it can be completely destroyed by force, that kind of thing is not worthy of being a trouble in my eyes.

My trouble is stories that cannot be killed, rumors that cannot be captured, lives that cannot be touched and existence that cannot be defined.

As for Adam Hammer, he's a piece of shit, ladies.

Come with me for a walk, I'll fucking take you to Arasaka Tower.

When will I kill Adam Hammer, you ask?

Why can’t the answer be now, Roger! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Downton kicked open the door to the next life.

Seeing that his door had flown out, Rogge covered his heart in shock.

"It's already open!"

"Haha, I think the automatic door opens too damn slowly, man!"

Downton laughed in response, and then pulled Rogge flying up.

Rogge caught up with Downton in a panic, and while rushing towards a Water Valley Falcon on the side of the road, he shouted to Emerick who was guarding the door.

"I'm fine, damn, I'm going out..."

Boom boom boom... buzz! ! !

Mizutani Falcon had been activated by Downton, and then flew out like a wild horse.

Rogge quickly put on his seat belt while holding on to everything he could grab, and watched Donton crash through two cars blocking the road and rush straight to the area where the Arasaka Tower was located.

"Damn it, are you sure you want to rush over now?"

She held the car door tightly and shouted to Donton.

Donton grinned at her with his teeth bared.

"Why not, we have to hurry up, sister!"

After the voice fell, Donton drifted violently, threw herself from the small road to the viaduct, and rushed towards the company square.

In the distance, in the direction of Taipingzhou, more than a dozen hovercrafts were bombarding two buildings.

In the dog town opposite Taipingzhou, more than 30 armed drones were fighting endlessly with the bastards wearing green cyber masks.

Night City is in war all the time. This is the free place where all the companies in the world gather together to resolve disputes after the Middle East!

Especially now, after the unification war, Night City has become the only free area in the original territory of the United States that has not announced its return to the name of the new American government.

It is conceivable how free this damn land can be.

Everyone on this land is forced to have their own positions and identities, and is forced to be exploited by more than one company until they finally escape or join the war and die.

Even when Donton and Roger were driving, there were dozens of cars on the viaduct facing them that accidentally got into the gang war and became the fish that were affected.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Roger tried to restrain his nervousness and said to Donton as if to change the subject.

"Donton, since you think you are the king of the afterlife, I should let you know our situation in the afterlife.

Our bar is located in the southernmost part of Watson District, where the Tiger Claw Gang and the Whirlpool Gang fight the most fiercely.

There are at least hundreds of bastards belonging to the above two gangs fighting here every day.

The chaos in front should also be caused by them, but obviously, we are a step late, otherwise you might be able to kill a few people to practice."

Speaking of this, Roger's eyes fell on Donton's fingers.

"Excuse me, you don't look like you've killed too many people. Every part of your body is too tender.

The original skin can't hide the way and frequency of their use. Every part of your body doesn't look like it has ever been in conflict, unless you were transformed to look like this now.

I don't know which company's new product you are. The most likely possibility is biotechnology. Their hormones have made the Animal Gang famous.

You see, this city is like this. It seems that every gang has the right to be domineering, but they can only do the dirty work that the company dogs don't want to do.

By the way, they also have to serve as different exhibits for different companies. The Animal Gang displays biotechnology drugs, the Valentino Gang displays military technology weapons, and the Tiger Claw Gang displays the cold weapons of Jianli Armament..."

Shit!!!

A crisp sound suddenly interrupted Rogge's words, and their two cars spun and stopped next to a burning car.

At the same time, on an overturned Thunder Canary.

David Martinez was sitting upside down in the car, looking desperately at the woman on the ground in the distance.

The woman was his mother, Gloria Martinez.

Just now, they encountered a gang attack on the viaduct. After the mother who was driving was shot, she could no longer control the car, causing the car to roll over and eventually fall to the ground.

He was trapped in the car and witnessed the Astra hovercraft of the trauma team landing on the viaduct and urgently rescuing several senior VIPs of the trauma team.

And he and his mother had no financial resources to become any so-called members. In order to support his studies, his mother had done her best. Now their family even had difficulty paying for the washing machine!

In this way, the trauma team came and went, taking only the so-called qualified people, leaving him and his mother here to die.

Although the Night Group also has their welfare medical institutions, they can rush to the scene for rescue.

But everyone knows that the welfare medical care of the Night Group is not equipped with hovercrafts at all, and they come slowly and perfunctorily!

As for now, David can only pray that his mother can hold on.

Or hope for a miracle?

Damn it!!!

The harsh sound of grinding tires awakened David, who was gradually falling into coma. He was trapped in the seat by the seat belt, looking backwards through the car window at the car parked opposite him.

Click...

The car door was pushed open, and David saw a guy who could be seen as a big shot at a glance walking towards him from the car.

David studied at Arasaka Academy, where there were rich big shots and corporate dogs everywhere.

But David guaranteed that the suit he saw on this guy now was definitely more luxurious than the suits of all his classmates he had seen before!

In David's sight, the man slowly walked towards him, then gently patted the car door that trapped David and smiled.

"Oh, what a coincidence, kid."

"Ah?"

David was a little stunned after listening to the man's words, but before he could continue to be stunned, his car door was yanked off by the guy in the super luxurious suit!

Then, David's world turned upside down.

When David sat upright on the ground in embarrassment, David saw the man in a luxurious suit continuing to walk towards his mother lying in a pool of blood.

At the same time, David saw a woman wearing yellow retro punk clothing walking past him.

The woman paused for a moment when passing by David, turned her head and glanced at David, and then nodded to David.

"Good luck, kid."

After the words fell, Rogge continued to walk towards Downton, asking as he walked.

"Your old friend?"

“No, I don’t know him, but that doesn’t matter.

In short, I want her to survive well, and I leave it to you! "

Downton said while patting Rogge heavily on the shoulder.

Rogge was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Simple."

As soon as the words fell, Rogge immediately took out a pneumatic injection and nailed it hard to Gloria's heart.

While she was doing emergency treatment for Gloria, Downton came to the stunned David and rubbed David's head hard.

"Little devil, when your mother recovers, you and your mother will come to me in the next life.

Roger, give this kid some money and give him your contact information! "

"no problem!"

Rogge responded from a distance and raised his bloody palm.

Seeing this, Downton let go of David's head, then turned around and walked towards the car.

Looking at Downton's back, David suddenly came out of his daze. He quickly got up, pressed his forehead and shouted to Downton in a daze.

"May I have your name!"

"Me? Downton! What about you?"

"I am David Martinez! Mr. Downton, I will definitely repay you!"

"Yes, I believe you will, then come find me in the next life as soon as possible, little devil~"

Downton smiled and waved to David, then returned to the car, casually took out a Lucky Man's tobacco from the air, lit it against the car window and started smoking.

In the distance, David gritted his teeth hard, then took a deep breath and rushed towards his mother.

By the time he reached his mother's side, Rogge had already stopped his first aid actions.

Looking at the panicked young man in front of him with blood and sweat on his face, Rogge chuckled and said to him.

"Is this your mother? She is not very lucky. Her lungs and kidneys were blown out.

Fuck, the power of today’s weapons is simply beyond what ordinary people can bear, the power is too much!

And she doesn't have many prosthetics on her body. Your family's life doesn't seem to be easy. Your mother's original organs can't withstand this kind of injury.

Anyway, I contacted my prosthetic doctor and he could be there in less than three minutes.

I have already paid the money, and by the way, I will transfer another 10,000 yuan to you as a spare. After your mother recovers, I will buy you two some decent clothes, and then come to us in the next life.

I am Rogge, and that is Downton. When you go to the next life, you will naturally know who we are.

In order to prevent you from forgetting or not hearing my words clearly, I edited the precautions and the positioning of the next life into a message and sent it to you. When you calm down, be sure to read it carefully.

As for now, good luck to you, kid. "
