Alex Carter, disguised as Hanako Arasaka, put on his coat again and returned to the car discreetly.
Shockwave was activated and retraced its path.
Alex sat in the driver's seat, busy with his own system.
Before handling business, he needed to be fully prepared.
Now Hanako Arasaka no longer existed in this world.
There must be a plausible reason for her death to make sense.
Otherwise, when the secret is revealed, all previous efforts would be forfeited, and unnecessary troubles might arise.
Soon, Shockwave stopped at the entrance of the alley.
At this time, the Drumman special car, which had been blasted into scrap metal, had disappeared.
It can be seen that the efficiency of Drumman's work is still very high.
"Shockwave, you go back to the villa and wait for me."
"Follow your orders!"
With the roar of the engine, the Sword of the Lake, incarnated by Shockwave, merged into the traffic flow and disappeared at the end of the road.
Alex, on the other hand, wearing a trench coat, returned to Arasaka Tower elegantly.
"Miss Hanako, you're back!"
Oda, who had been guarding the elevator door, immediately got up and saluted the moment he saw Alex enter the door.
Although Alex had already told him to rest, he stayed there dutifully.
Hanako, whom Alex had transformed into, looked worried and said in a deep voice, "I'm very tired, go and get me a cup of coffee."
"Yes!"
Seeing Oda turn and leave, Alex's face showed a conspiratorial smile...
After a while, Oda came over with coffee.
"Miss Hanako, your coffee..."
"Whoa..."
Before Oda could finish his words, the scene in front of him was so frightening that the coffee in his hand fell to the ground!
He saw "Hanako Arasaka" sitting "sadly" by the open window at this time.
Both feet were already out the window!
"Miss Hanako! Dangerous! Please sit back quickly!"
Oda's heart almost jumped out of his chest with fright.
If something happened to Miss Hanako, he would die 10,000 times and it wouldn't be enough!
Suddenly, he inexplicably remembered what Alex had said before he left.
"Oda-kun, keep an eye on Hanako recently.
"I'm afraid she'll get lost in thought."
Suddenly, a chill filled Oda's body.
Could it be that the man named Alex Carter, he found something wrong early on?
Then the current Miss Hanako... not good!
Oda raised his head abruptly, ignoring the difference between master and servant, and ran towards the window.
If Miss Hanako really intended to take her own life, he must save her himself!
However, he had just run a few steps when he saw the most unforgettable scene of his life.
"Hanako Arasaka" smiled sweetly, and then jumped down...
"Miss Hanako! No!!!
Oda rushed to the window with a pale face and looked down.
*Phew... bang!*
The huge impact force caused a car below to be smashed instantly.
The blood of "Hanako Arasaka" spattered radially more than ten meters away.
Then came the exclamations from the crowd!
"No!!!
Oda stared at the scene before him, his heart pierced with grief, and immediately he jumped down.
Sharp mantis blades popped out, constantly buffering against the outer wall of Arasaka Tower.
After a few seconds, he finally landed.
But the force he didn't have time to counteract still caused his prosthetic legs to spark with malfunction.
"Miss Hanako! Miss Hanako! You'll be fine!
Oda limped to the corpse of "Hanako Arasaka," checking her breath and pulse.
Even the pneumatic injection was punctured.
But at this time, "Hanako Arasaka" had lost all vital signs.
"No!!!"
The crowd around him gathered more and more, even attracting the attention of some Arasaka executives.
However, when they saw the figure that had died, their expressions of disgust instantly turned into horror.
Hanako Arasaka... is dead!?
*Whirring...*
There was a sound in the sky.
The blue and white Trauma Team Floater had arrived!
Troops of elite trauma teams ran down quickly, armed with weapons and medical equipment.
"We need to take Miss Hanako back to monitor and sample, and try to rescue her."
After being informed, the trauma team recklessly lifted "Hanako Arasaka" onto the floating car.
Oda did not stop them, and even had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
With the medical methods of the trauma team, there have been cases where people on the verge of death, or even in suspended animation, were rescued.
*Whirring...*
The trauma team closed the door, and the floating car took off again...
In the floating car at this time, members of the trauma team were busy...
"DNA verification... Platinum user: Hanako Arasaka."
"The brain was severely damaged, internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and there was massive bleeding."
"Vital signs...none."
"Confirmed death."
After confirming that "Hanako Arasaka" had no chance of being saved, the members of the trauma team looked at each other.
What's going on with this Arasaka company?
First, Saburo Arasaka died.
Now Hanako Arasaka has an accident again.
This is absolutely a world-changing event!
"Forget it, check Miss Hanako's personal link to see if there are any will-like documents."
One of them gave an order and turned on the computer.
The other person opened the left hand of "Hanako Arasaka," ready to pull out the personal connection.
However, at this moment, Hanako Arasaka, who had already been confirmed dead, suddenly trembled.
Then suddenly opened her eyes!
Before the dumbfounded trauma team members could recover, "Hanako Arasaka" quickly got up.
The originally broken body moved as fast as the wind.
In the blink of an eye, the latch that two of the armed men wanted to use for the grenade was pulled out...
Looking at the floating car gradually receding in the sky, Oda clenched his fists tightly.
"Miss Hanako! You'll be fine, I believe...
*Boom rumble...*
Accompanied by a loud noise, the floating car carrying Hanako Arasaka in the sky turned into a ball of fire out of thin air.
The violent explosion even shattered the glass of all the surrounding buildings.
*Pfft...*
Oda fell to his knees in despair.
In the depths of his pupils that reflected the flaming fire, there was nothing but dead ashes...
"This is News Channel 54, an emergency news broadcast.
At about 15:00 this afternoon, following Saburo Arasaka, Hanako Arasaka, the pearl of Arasaka Company, committed suicide by jumping off the building in the room of Arasaka Tower.
Later, during the rescue of the trauma team, the floating vehicle exploded for unknown reasons.
As for Hanako Arasaka's motive for suicide and the cause of the explosion of the floating car, it has not yet been ascertained."
Streets and alleys, shops and restaurants, neon signs... Almost the entire Night City is reporting the news of Hanako Arasaka's suicide.
