Chapter 1191 - 386: Knights Fighting Bravely in the Rainy Night (Part 3)

The modified beings from all directions wouldn’t take turns like in TV shows; they relentlessly crashed against the knights’ defenses, bullets, blades, monofilament line, fighting endlessly."Hah!"

Masked Rider gripped the shattered blade sticking out from his back, forcefully plunging it into the eye sockets of two modified beings, then kicked them away one by one.

The white fluid trailing from the blade didn’t dampen his fierce fighting spirit.

He is not a human flesh.

These modified beings are not human flesh either.

Except for the head, traditional fatal injuries for humans don’t exist.

"Should I call it foolish or naive?"

From the distant high-rise, a figure stood on the rooftop balcony, eyes reflecting the infinity symbol as they watched the knights’ bloody battle from afar.

"But I have to say one thing, impressive."

The figure sighed.

"Back then, there were many who wanted to save humanity like you. But unfortunately, they all failed.

However, the ones who defeated them were not us but humans themselves; humans chose to give up. Now, to do this again, don’t you think it’s too late?"

In the darkness, a cold gleam appeared, sharp blades slashed through the figure’s head.

But the blade didn’t deliver the feel of hitting a solid form, it was just a remnant afterimage left behind.

"Is it you?"

∞ stared, somewhat surprised, at the woman who suddenly appeared behind him.

"Are you... Johnny Silverhand?"

"I’m your mother!"

Upon hearing that name, V flew into a rage.

"Brother Ni was right after all, you bastards love to plot in the gutter, huh? What, are you disappointed I didn’t plug in that chip?"

∞ explained with mild surprise.

"No, whether you are Johnny Silverhand doesn’t matter to us; we don’t care about that.

As the body swiftly retreated, it was still a step slow, the neck was half-slashed, bursting with white fluid and electric arcs.

The figure frowned, touching his neck, astonished by V’s exaggerated combat prowess.

Then he immediately signaled for dozens of modified beings to cover him.

"That’s unfortunate, V, even if you cut off my head, it wouldn’t change reality. Your attempt to stop this plan will only bring humans a worse ending; other AIs are reaching the limits of their patience."

However, V was unfazed by ∞’s words, her own manipulated fate was infuriating enough; now these dogs want to control all of humanity’s future.

"Not a word of truth comes from you scumbags, if you’ve got the guts, engage in a real fight, stop spewing nonsense, and give me back Jack’s stupid head!"

V didn’t bother to continue the exchange, wielding the Mantis Blade, she clashed with dozens of modified beings, her figure was so fast only a flash of blades and swords was visible, in an instant several heads soared skywards.

V’s sudden appearance relieved significant pressure for the knights below, yet progress was still slow, many were heavily injured, the white synthetic blood trailing their footprints painted the streets.

Masked Rider firmly grasped the blade aimed at his head, the friction between the blade and his knuckles even sparked, pinning him against the wall.

If it were flesh fingers, they’d probably be cut off by now.

Damn...

His peripheral vision glanced towards the end of the street, and he couldn’t even see the statue’s shadow.

Is it going to end here?

If only he’d gone to Stone Ridge Mountain to regroup with others first, his recklessness is deadly.

As Masked Rider regretted, louder engine noises sounded from the direction he came.

Woo—

The sound of blaring sirens.

Cops?

Bang Bang Bang!

Three rapid gunshots.

Three bullets connecting in a line, exploding the head of a modified being in front of him, splattering white brain matter on Masked Rider’s face.

He knew who had arrived, narrowly escaping death.

But what Masked Rider didn’t expect was

"Causing trouble in Night City at night, really not putting us Night City coppers in your eyes, huh? Get them cuffed up!"

It’s the cops.

And a lot of cops.

Dozens of armored police cars almost blocked the road completely, the flashing red and blue lights stained the pouring rain.

The cop stepped out from the driver’s seat, smoke still curling from the muzzle of his auto-9.

Beside him were the armed police units from the Taiping Continent police station; as the only two districts without established statues, Taiping Continent was the least affected.

Though they were still implicitly warned not to go out, under the police director’s forced command, the psychological hints were immediately dispelled.

And as Night City’s legitimate, armed force, the police station was qualified to equip heavy firepower, even some non-compliant things had a reason to be used.

Horizon Corporation was far from NCPD, notorious for long-term embezzlement.

"Resisting severely? Fire at will!"

With the cop’s command

The large-caliber auto-cannons mounted on the armored vehicles, centaur plasma emitters, multi-barrel rocket launchers, even several Marauder drones joined the battle.

The powerful firepower instantly covered half the street, although the modified beings had Sianweistan, there’s no way they could escape from the saturation fire strike.

"Hell yeah!"

The cop shivered with delight.

"If only I could drive these armored vehicles to smash yellow corpses back then, it’d be even sweeter."

Blame those animals for making the cop hate this chaotic city.

Good old Kowloon, all ruined by those idiots.

"Director!"

A young cop excitedly ran to his side and said.

"Look at the drone, dozens more of these cyberpsychos appearing around, conservative estimate a thousand."

He couldn’t help but be excited, Horizon Corporation had a clear promotion track, these city-disturbing psychos were blatant military merits!

As for the fear of death?

If you fear death, why be a Night City cop?

"Take out as many as they come, bring out all our gear, use all the stock of Hellhounds and MT-3, even if we have to crush them, crush them to the statue! Show those corp bastards who really calls the shots in Night City!"
