Under Luoqi's ruthless slaughter, the Military Technology forces were quickly annihilated.
Looking at the scattered limbs on the ground, Luoqi panted heavily.
This battle consumed him significantly. Running the Tyrant System at full power, coupled with the burden brought by Ultimate Domination, made his entire body's muscles feel like they were tearing.
Even the gorilla arm on his left hand became scalding hot under overload.
At this moment, the duration of the Tyrant state had ended, and the cyberware behind him returned to calm. The regenerative power brought by activating Ultimate Domination also couldn't eliminate the burden on his body after the effect ended.
Of course, if Luoqi were to activate Ultimate Domination again, it might allow him to recover completely in a short time.
But to what extent the burden would stack after the effect ended for the second time was unknown, and Luoqi didn't dare to easily try it.
Taking out a Type I Power Excitement Agent and injecting it into his body, feeling his body slowly recover, Luoqi felt much better.
At this moment, Luoqi was covered in blood, but he didn't care.
Although this was the first time he had killed so many people at once, killing a few or killing a group made little difference to him.
As for this group from Military Technology, Luoqi had no intention of holding back.
They made the first move anyway. Military Technology showing up definitely wouldn't be for a good reason, probably similar to Arasaka.
And he had now sided with Arasaka, so offending Military Technology was a certainty.
Luoqi didn't plan on benefiting from both sides; between Arasaka and Military Technology, he was destined to choose only one.
As for trying to play both sides between the two major corporations? He would definitely die without even knowing how; neither Arasaka nor Military Technology would tolerate such a thing happening.
The last person to play both sides was Faraday. Although he didn't die at the hands of these two corporations in the end, his fate was miserable enough.
However, Faraday should still be living comfortably in Night City. He didn't provoke Luoqi, so Luoqi naturally couldn't be bothered with him.
As for whether annihilating the Military Technology forces would invite their retaliation, Luoqi wasn't worried about that.
Anyway, as long as he cooperated with Arasaka, he would experience this sooner or later. Arasaka would definitely cover for him regarding this matter.
And just then, the people who would cover for him arrived.
Another AV was seen flying in from the sky, but this time it wasn't people from Military Technology, but from Arasaka.
At the same time, several armored vehicles drove up on the ground; they were Arasaka's operational forces.
The AV slowly landed in the open space, and the agent from before stepped out of the AV.
The agent's face clearly still showed shock after getting out of the vehicle. The scene before him at this moment made him doubt his own eyes.
An entire Military Technology force was just annihilated like this.
Even if it wasn't the most elite force, how many people in the entire Night City could achieve such a feat in a short time?
Arasaka had been keeping an eye on Luoqi for a long time. After discovering Military Technology's actions against Luoqi, they responded immediately.
On the surface, Arasaka arrived late, but in reality, with preparation, Arasaka's response speed was already very fast. According to their thinking, Luoqi should have been able to hold on for this amount of time.
What he didn't expect was that Luoqi not only held on, but also fucking killed everyone from Military Technology.
Moreover, looking at the tragic sight of scattered limbs and severed arms everywhere on the ground, one could imagine how terrifying the battle that just occurred was.
Only at this moment did the agent realize what kind of existence he had previously tried to apprehend. If Luoqi had chosen to resist at that time, he might already be like these guys on the ground.
"Yo, it's you again. You came really fast, not bad, you're keeping a close eye."
Seeing that it was him again, Luoqi couldn't help but find it a bit funny. Did this guy not have to get off work in the middle of the night? It seemed the intensity of working at Arasaka was really not low.
And the agent, looking at Luoqi, who was covered in blood as if he had just walked out of hell, didn't dare to say anything about his mockery.
"Mr. L, this is a necessary procedure, to ensure the smooth progress of our cooperation, and to guarantee your safety." The agent's tone was clearly much more polite.
"Alright, I'll leave this mess for you to clean up. I'm tired, goodbye."
Luoqi said, waving his hand, then ignored the agent and walked towards Rebecca and the others.
Arasaka's people came here to stop Military Technology, and now that Military Technology had been wiped out, they naturally wouldn't stop Luoqi from leaving.
"L, are you okay?"
Seeing Luoqi covered in blood, Rebecca couldn't tell if Luoqi was injured.
"I'm fine. But Rebecca, you were very brave just now."
"Haha, of course."
Although most of the enemies were dealt with by Luoqi, Rebecca also played a significant role. The bodies riddled with bullet holes in the distance were her handiwork.
Luoqi looked at the smiling Rebecca and subconsciously wanted to pat her head, but after extending his hand, he remembered his hands were covered in blood and could only give up helplessly.
"Lucy, I want to borrow your apartment for a bit."
Luoqi naturally didn't want to get into the car like this. After letting the delorean auto-navigate to the parking spot, the three of them came to Lucy's apartment.
Before long, Luoqi finished washing off the bloodstains on his body.
Walking out of the bathroom, he saw Lucy leaning against the windowsill smoking, while Rebecca was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, the two of them chatting.
"What kind of poster is that on the wall? I didn't expect your hobby to be so old-fashioned, Lucy."
Rebecca was complaining about the Moon New Life promotional poster Lucy had put on the wall.
"Well, maybe," Lucy replied calmly.
Hearing her dream called old-fashioned, Lucy didn't get angry.
Since that night, she hadn't been as sensitive as before. Now, she didn't care how others viewed her dream; as long as Luoqi approved, it was enough.
"Tch."
Seeing that Lucy wasn't affected by her words, Rebecca scoffed and didn't continue talking about the topic.
Just then, Lucy saw Luoqi come out, smiled, looked at him, and said, "L, since you're all washed up, why don't you stay here tonight? Just let Rebecca go back by herself."
And Rebecca immediately bristled upon hearing this. She jumped up from the sofa and spread her arms to block between Luoqi and Lucy.
"No! I don't agree."
Rebecca yelled at Lucy, then turned to Luoqi and said, "L, ignore her, let's go home."
Luoqi couldn't help but feel a headache looking at the scene before him.
Although he really wanted to say that Lucy's bed was big, and it wouldn't matter if they squeezed in, he ultimately didn't dare to say it out loud.
Helpless, Luoqi could only choose to take Rebecca home. Lucy had only been joking anyway, so she naturally didn't stop the two of them.
However, what Luoqi didn't expect was that the home Rebecca mentioned didn't seem to be her own home.
But Luoqi's home.
