The neon acid rain lashes against the exhaust ducts in Night City’s New East District⚡💧, as the augmentated mercenary “Jin” presses an orange-red dagger firmly against the scorching heat sink wall🌋🟠. Meanwhile, a Yasuoka Corporation cybernetic hound closes in step by step, homing in on the source of the heat🔍🦾. This experimental tactical blade, procured from an underground 3D-printing workshop, features fissure-like etchings along its blade filled with unstable plasma-energy-storage gel🔥; activate the neural pulse pattern, and it heats up to a thousand degrees in just ten seconds—enough to effortlessly burn through even military-grade alloy bulletproof plates🔪⚙️. During the recent firefight, Jin’s main kinetic augment arm was disabled by a sniper round, leaving him with no choice but to rely on this compact, portable dagger for stealthy infiltration and surprise strikes🔩🩸. As the hound’s infrared sensors sweep around the corner, Jin slips into a shadowy crevice, his orange-red blade seamlessly blending with the intense heat radiating from the molten piping inside the duct—completely fooling the mechanical hound’s detection system👤🕶️. The hound wags its probe head, lets out a low growl, and turns to walk away. Jin licks his chapped lower lip, fixes his gaze on the towering neon skyline in the direction of the corpo data station, tightens his grip on the knife’s guard, and feels the energy stored within the blade’s intricate纹路 begin to glow faintly✊🌟—that executive who stole the backup of his native brain memory is still waiting for him on the rooftop at the very top of the building🔮🎯.
