That night, Lin Feng and the Taoist priest rode in a car provided by the Night Company, driving all the way into Night City. They passed through dilapidated streets, avoided buildings with gunfire, and finally entered a brightly lit area, stopping outside the building where the party was being held.
The reception building is located in the city center area, close to the company square, in a very good location, with the entrance facing the direction of Arasaka Tower.
Even Lin Feng, who was prepared, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. If people found out that the two of them had appeared near the Abandoned Tower, countless elite agents would be waiting for them.
Just then, the car's AI system came to a stop and announced, "Sir, your facial features have been reprocessed."
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Feng glanced at the rearview mirror a few times and quickly calmed down.
Night's Company provided them with a set of micro-facial prosthetics that do not require implantation, which can modify the face and bones to make their facial features completely different from those of a person.
"Why can't you give me a handsome look?" The Taoist priest leaned over and touched his face in the rearview mirror, then turned his head away with obvious disgust: "With this, I've lost all my confidence."
A pair of disappointed eyes looked out the window. Ever since entering this area, the Taoist priest had been in a state of excitement, feeling an urge to touch everything he saw.
"If I could stay here forever, I'd even consider leaving the monastic life..." The Taoist priest sighed, leaning back in his chair, his face filled with a dazed look. "I remember there are still many monks here, aren't there? How could those guys possibly tolerate this..."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes silently and casually asked, "Aren't cultivators generally supposed to be pure of heart and have few desires?"
"Whatever, what era are we living in? To talk about being pure and desireless is a heretical path. I, the Daoist, cultivate righteous desires. What is meant to be will be, and I will not indulge in them or give rise to evil. I will follow the natural way!"
Mentioning this, the Taoist priest immediately became interested and grabbed Lin Feng, who was about to get off the carriage, with one hand: "Whatever, that's why I said you should do something more important. Humans and ghosts are different. I know that ghost body... cough cough, if you really can't resist, you'll have to wait until you cultivate your own soul body!"
Lin Feng stopped, his eyes widening as he turned sharply towards the Taoist priest.
"Ahem, it's time... to begin..." The Taoist priest released his grip, straightened his collar, and immediately opened the car door and got out.
The Taoist priest wore a greyish-gray suit with cloud-like patterns embroidered on the chest, below which was the pinyin for Tang Yun. His hair was styled in a long, tai-chi bun. Lin Feng wore a light blue suit, also with the Tang Yun logo embroidered on the chest.
The other car door opened, and Lin Feng smoothed out his cuffs and followed.
The car, with its doors automatically closing, drove to the parking lot. Just then, a woman whose entire body had been transplanted with gilded genuine skin walked over, swaying her hips and sticking out her buttocks.
The woman's eyes were green, and her slender eyebrows arched as she stopped in front of the Taoist priest, creating ripples of emotion. The Taoist priest halted his hurried steps, watching the woman turn her body, his gaze lingering on her slender back.
Ta-da...
With golden skin and delicate jade feet, she walked up the steps.
Before entering, the woman raised her hand behind her back and gently tapped her fingers in the air, captivating the Taoist priest's soul, and left with a soft laugh.
"casual!!!"
The Taoist priest, forgetting what had just happened, grabbed Lin Feng and shook him violently, shouting, "Did you see that? Did you see that?"
Lin Feng's vision blurred from the swaying lights, and a thought suddenly struck him: "Did you bring any money?"
"Huh? Ah? I..." The Taoist priest looked puzzled, then gave an awkward laugh, and then went silent without saying a word.
Lin Feng smiled without saying a word. After straightening his disheveled clothes, he went to the door, took out the prepared invitation, and handed it to the person in charge of greeting guests at the door.
He had almost gotten used to the other person's "unrestrained" attitude.
The Taoist priest followed silently behind, gracefully handing out his invitation and regaining his dignified demeanor.
Talking about money with the participants? I almost got fooled.
The two walked along the red carpet on the ground, took the elevator, and entered a hall, where they were once again amazed by the dreamlike scene.
The game's content is quite conservative; there's no need to discuss elegance or vulgarity, nor is there any need for excessive embellishment. The most unrestrained display of desire is the grandest art.
They displayed their most perfect bodies with the most elegant dance moves. Time and mountains intertwined, sweat spun with the dance, music and soft murmurs flowed... Countless mesmerized eyes wandered through this painting, unable to stop, until death.
Even Lin Feng's stagnant heart was stirred. There was always something here that could awaken the beast within a person's heart, not to mention those prosthetic bodies created to vent desires, or even devices designed to amplify desires, which far exceeded the scope of a game.
"Is this really a banquet?" The Taoist priest suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
"In a world without the constraints of secular laws, morality is merely an example." Lin Feng forcibly withdrew his gaze, a cold sensation flowing through his body, crushing all desire until calm prevailed.
"An example? Oh! Comrade Sui, your words are even more ferocious than these..." The Taoist exclaimed in surprise, his hands unconsciously moving the prayer beads much faster, and his originally clear eyes now gleamed with the light of a wild beast.
Lin Feng left a glance behind and walked straight to the pre-arranged counter number 3, his gaze subtly drifting to a wine glass on the side of the counter that someone hadn't finished drinking.
The glass contained a pale yellow liquid that shimmered with an unusual light under the lamp.
Lin Feng looked at the paper pressed under the wine glass. In the light reflected from the glass base, the part of the paper that was pressed down protruded quite reasonably.
"Go find someone."
"good!"
The Taoist priest nodded obediently this time and tapped the communication earpiece he had put on beforehand.
After a short wait, Lin Feng also reached out and pressed his hand to his ear, making two knocking sounds.
They had already discussed the matter. The Taoist priest was responsible for finding the person, and Lin Feng was responsible for the operation. For safety reasons and to prevent their communications from being overheard, two knocks meant they had found the person, and three knocks meant they could proceed. They would not say anything else in the communications.
The Taoist priest, carrying the wine delivered from behind the counter, walked into the painting. Lin Feng walked around to the unfinished wine, seemingly casually pushed it aside, silently took the chip underneath, turned and leaned against the counter, his eyes following the Taoist priest's figure, wandering around aimlessly.
The dazzling lights of the party shone out the window, and Lin Feng inadvertently took in the surrounding situation, marking 10 security guards with highly cybernetic bodies.
The party was initiated by the Night Corporation, and its purpose was to bring together executives from other companies to discuss the follow-up investment in the new development project of Night City. Therefore, the party would inevitably invite people from Arasaka, who is the woman that Lin Feng is currently paying attention to.
He couldn't possibly ignore Arasaka at such a grand occasion, and this woman seemed to be searching for someone as well.
Knock knock!
A sound came through Lin Feng's earpiece. He looked in the direction the Taoist priest was pointing in the distance and saw that right where they had just entered, the target was carrying two women with shiny green skin who were completely naked.
After briefly observing his target, Lin Feng's gaze wandered away and focused on the other swaying, graceful bodies.
The target had long, silver hair slicked back, wore a vest, and carried two pistols, exuding a somewhat tough style, completely different from the weak and reserved demeanor of the others.
Although there's no need to ask for detailed information about the target when carrying out a mission, this person doesn't look like someone to be trifled with.
Just then, the female executive from Arasaka greeted the silver-haired man with a smile. The two shook hands, and a cunning glint flashed in their eyes at the same time.
The Taoist priest then approached, holding a wine cup, his back to them, staring intently at the naked dancer to one side, his ears perked up as he eavesdropped.
A short while later, the silver-haired man and the female executive walked to a reserved seat. The Taoist priest sauntered back, leaned against Lin Feng's side, and said, "NCPD Police Chief, whatever, are we really that casual?"
"The NCPD police chief?" Lin Feng suddenly suppressed his flickering gaze and lowered his head.
The NCPD police chief? So close to a female executive from Arasaka?
It seems the situation in the city is about to change. Once some people start showing signs of camaraderie, it means something big is about to happen.
But these were not among their considerations.
"Proceed according to the original plan." Lin Feng quickly finished thinking, got up, walked through a blind spot of the surveillance cameras, and released the Red Spirit Ghost.
