He was an experienced human trafficker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who they were delivered to, who was the boss behind these shady deals... Lille suddenly clammed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dude, I know you guys have skills. The Tiger Claw Gang would definitely pay you handsomely to do the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s really no need to go against the Tiger Claw Gang... uh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille’s neck stiffened, and he almost choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the crap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... alright.\" Lille’s eyes remained fearful of Lille. \"This job is deep water, man, I’m trying to save you here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your skills, you could work anywhere. Working for NCPD, it’s a lot of work for little pay. Tomorrow, they might even want to deal with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re full of shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s face flushed red, showing her complicated emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V squatted down and slapped Lille: \"Who said we’re buddies? Watch your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, bro, you’re my bro... my dad! You guys are my dad! I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V slapped him again, and Lille stayed silent, just sitting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V stood up and looked at Lille: \"So now we still need to catch this guy named Jeahyun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jeahyun has to be caught.\" Lille thought for a moment and then looked at Reaver, \"I suggest you let me handle this guy. Does your police department have equipment for reading memories?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lille spoke, Lille realized something was wrong, but it was too late; Lille had already locked his body again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaver frowned: \"No... but we do have that dream reading device, used for coma patients.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suggest you give me the device. I’ll find a spot to properly question him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna sneered at Lille: \"I support this proposal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille’s only movable eyeball trembled in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, old Han knocked on the door and said somewhat helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem ahem, the police are here. Reaver, you’ll have to let the department handle the follow-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, everyone in the room looked at Lille—this Tiger Claw Gang member’s tension disappeared in an instant, and a sense of relief came over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one doubted the NCPD now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shame and anger that Ivan had shown earlier appeared on Anna’s face, but she looked even angrier, and her hand even went to her gun...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A police officer swaggered to the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"David Bimmer, as per department orders, Reaver, Anna, I’ll take over what you’re working on now. This Tiger Claw Gang member and the two witnesses are coming with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way.\" Reaver stood in front, \"He’s my witness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you’re violating the management regulations. Do you still want to stay in the police force?\" said David... Bimmer, looking at the furious Anna, \"And you, as a newbie, you’ve done well. Now let the more experienced seniors handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille signaled to V and Jack, and the three of them began to silently adjust their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of operation footage, hacking the cameras, if something happens, Reaver will have a hard time explaining, they’ll have to use old-fashioned methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack, the big guy, walked right up to the police officers. His huge frame was intimidating, and Bimmer’s aura softened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you wouldn’t assault a police officer, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille lowered his head, his eyes flickered with data lights, relaying a message to Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assault a police officer?\" Jack sneered, \"So what if I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you’d be waiting for the Terrorist Mobile Team to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, your authority doesn’t seem very high? I’ll give you 30 seconds, call the Terrorist Mobile Team and confirm if we’ve met?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bimmer was greatly displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking, what kind of person are you, claiming to have met the Terrorist Mobile Team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaver suddenly said: \"Desert Cook, calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bimmer was sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why aren’t you talking, Officer? Make the call and ask the Terrorist Mobile Team their opinion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack took a step forward and lightly bumped into Bimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are indeed difficult to deal with. If you want their opinion, make the call. By the way, have you seen the Mo Xi tank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your forehead shines quite brightly. I wonder if it’s harder than the tank’s hatch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack took another step, lightly tapping Bimmer’s forehead. The once arrogant officer’s retreating steps were trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bimmer was about to speak when Lille and V each took a step back, perfectly blocking the room’s cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lille waved his hand, and Bimmer, who didn’t dare to look at Jack, got distracted...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Bimmer staggered out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers outside and the surveillance saw something strange: Bimmer went limp and collapsed to the ground as if he’d fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack caught him: \"Why did the officer fall asleep so suddenly? Overworked from overtime?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he hoisted Bimmer and walked toward the NCPD police car. The officers looked puzzled, so Reaver followed, signaling to his colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the officers instinctively made way, hands on their waists, ready to draw their guns at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack reached the car, glanced at it, and then at the tense officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, relax...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lizard Rage Component Power Boost]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Power: 60%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack suddenly kicked the car’s front end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers were so startled they drew their guns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that kick, the Curtis V6000’s armor bumper was deformed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cops glanced at the car worriedly, finding that the driver’s airbag had deployed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone was still linked to the car’s central computer, they’d find it had classified the collision as an accident...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some guy with a prosthetic esophagus gulped audibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack grinned at the cops, reaching for the car door... but he didn’t have the permission to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the NCPD officers saw Jack rip the door open, the sound... creaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He literally tore the door off, placed it on the ground, and tossed Bimmer inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack smiled naively: \"Officer Bimmer fell asleep from overworking, everyone head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaver waved at his colleagues: \"You all head back. We’ll handle it here. If there’s nothing else, you’re off duty. Officer Bimmer really is tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Han, help us send Officer Bimmer back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Han looked conflicted at Reaver, then nodded and got into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers glanced at each other, but they were just workers. Bimmer wouldn’t explain much to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the team leader was... asleep. What work were they going to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the officers got in their cars, turned off the sirens, and left the safe house dejectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his colleagues leave, Reaver took off his hat and exaggeratedly wiped his face: \"You guys are bold as brass. When Bimmer wakes up, he’ll report to his superiors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille shrugged: \"What use is that? Prosthetic eye can’t catch it, surveillance can’t catch it, just make up something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... ugh, forget it. What’s your next move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Tiger Claw Gang member inside, I just used my prosthetic to stop his breathing. He’ll be brain damaged soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You get me that dream device, and I’ll make sure the details are clear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, we’re police officers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck the police!\" Anna stormed over, \"I’ll steal it! If the NCPD is in cahoots with those guys, I’ll kill those dirty cops!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that simple, Anna.\" Reaver was exasperated with his reckless junior, \"That thing is experimental technology, very tightly guarded. Our permissions won’t allow us to check it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need a hacker, one who can enter cyberspace from a chair, who knows how to bypass large data barriers’ ICE protection, someone who could get brain-fried if they mess up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille interrupted: \"I’m a hacker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaver was stunned: \"Uh... even if you are, we need a technical expert, someone with corporate experience in research and a lot of experience with experimental equipment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m also a technical expert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Reaver was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lille added: \"Trust me, I’ll find the mastermind and put them down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Reaver felt his mind was muddled—wasn’t he the one in charge here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled for a while, then said to Lille: \"You’re a rogue, completely lawless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the contrary, I’m a very law-abiding person,\" Lille said slowly, \"As long as it’s a law I agree with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every criminal says that.\" Reaver sighed, looking at the bright moon, \"But... I strangely want to agree with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna, hot-tempered as she was, decided on the spot: \"Enough bullshit, I’ll help you, Reaver—you know we can’t get this done alone, NCPD is unreliable! Fuck the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right.\" Reaver nodded, making up his mind, \"If the law is unreliable, then to hell with it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1523,"2026-06-03T12:33:12.909Z","2026-06-03T12:33:19.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","1b1925c8aee35db5eeb37fa8e44b3e923ba3a6c2e284ac262a38c9b0e3d0f1e2","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-246","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-244",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
