"Alright, thank you all for your hard work. Go back to your rooms and rest."
"Don't worry, it's safe now."
...Watching the girls leave, Berry clutched her forehead.
These girls truly knew nothing.
After all, they were also captured experimental subjects, so there wasn't much information to extract from them.
Only one girl, who had seen the biological weapon, said that there was some kind of sensation between the creature and them.
The girl's uncontrollable nausea proved this.
This confirmed Berry's guess.
The green substance in the monster's body and the substance injected into the girls' bodies were the same.
Looking at the can of green solution she took from the safe, Berry felt a chill run down her spine.
Damn, those victims injected with the solution, would they all eventually turn into that monstrous thing?
Not only the sex dolls imprisoned by the Tyger Claws, but even the defunct Motorcycle Gang had this stuff.
A supply chain for human trafficking and bioweapon development using live subjects connected in Berry's mind.
If that was the case, Berry seemed to know the reason for her attack.
She had repeatedly intercepted experimental subjects, ruining the plans of the shadowy bioweapon development group.
So, they came after her.
Connecting all these dots, Berry's brow furrowed even deeper.
Twice, Night City residents had been imprisoned as experimental subjects, and she had stumbled upon it by chance.
Underground, who knew how many more such inhumane live human prisons existed?
And such an operation could not be afforded by a gang like the Tyger Claws.
There was only one option capable of orchestrating all this.
A Corporation.
Although she didn't know which Corporation.
But only a Corporation could pull off such a feat.
After all, so many Homeless men and people from the lower strata disappeared in Night City every day; who knew where they ended up being used?
It was just that one of these secrets had been stumbled upon by Berry...
No, there was still too little information.
Berry felt that some clues were still missing.
Although she had determined it was the work of a Corporation, she couldn't go investigate every single Corporation to find out which one did it.
After all, for such dirty human experiments, the Corporation's secrecy level would definitely be the highest.
Berry decided to seek some help.
When it came to finding information in Night City, one had to find a Fixer.
And among the Fixers, the most formidable one was naturally the person Berry knew.
The Queen of Afterlife, Rogue.
Although she could just make a call.
But given that her opponent might be one of the mega-Corporations, to prevent wiretapping, Berry decided to be cautious.
So, she personally controlled Kikyo to go to the Afterlife Bar...
"I heard something happened to you guys."
In the Afterlife Bar Server Room, Rogue met with Kikyo.
Heh, truly worthy of being a Fixer.
Only half an hour had passed from the attack on Honeycomb Mercenaries to Kikyo seeking her out, yet Rogue already knew about the attack on Honeycomb Mercenaries.
