He walked slowly towards the hotel entrance, his steps firm yet cautious. Just as he was about to step through the hotel's doors, two tall, seemingly indestructible security guards swiftly blocked his path. They were fully equipped, and beneath their fully enclosed helmets, a red eye shimmered with an ominous light, as if it could see through all the guests who approached at any moment.
"Stop! Please submit to inspection!" a security guard's voice came through a voice changer, deep and threatening, causing the surrounding air to seem to freeze.
Faced with this sudden interception, V was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly in his heart. He knew that security checks were an essential procedure at such high-level banquets, but he hadn't expected to be stopped himself. V raised his head slightly and responded coldly, "Ha! Don't you know who I am?" His tone revealed a hint of displeasure, mixed with a touch of mockery - to V, this identity verification incident was nothing more than a small misunderstanding before the banquet.
However, the security guards were not swayed by V's words. They were well-trained and insisted that all guests entering the banquet must strictly adhere to the inspection procedures, regardless of their identity. At that moment, V also realized that his emotions were a bit too frivolous, so he adjusted his attitude and prepared to cooperate with the security guards to complete the necessary security inspection procedures.
In events organized by Arasaka Group, safety always comes first. V understands this and knows that despite their special status, it is their responsibility to follow the rules before entering the banquet venue. Therefore, even though feeling somewhat displeased, V still displays the demeanor of a gentleman, ready to undergo security checks as a sign of respect for the safety of the banquet.
Suddenly, a security guard's eyes emit a faint beam of light, directly targeting V. At that moment, the chip in V's brain immediately sends a reminder, informing him that he is being scanned by a high-precision scanning device. At the same time, another guard forcefully spreads V's legs and then proceeds to pat down his body, thoroughly checking for any weapons. All of this happens quickly and roughly, demonstrating Arasaka's strict security requirements for the banquet.
Just as the guard was conducting a physical check on V, the guard responsible for scanning suddenly emitted a sharp warning sound. The sound was like a piercing beep, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present. "He's carrying a weapon!" the scanning guard quickly raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at V, his voice filled with tension and vigilance.
The atmosphere at that moment suddenly became tense, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. V was startled, realizing that he did indeed have some small self-defense weapons on him, but he never thought they would be discovered in this kind of situation. V quickly realized that any wrong move or overreaction could lead to a rapid deterioration of the situation.
At this critical moment, V remained calm, knowing full well that this was not a real confrontation, but rather a misunderstanding during a security check. V tried to explain with a calm and firm voice, "These are all defensive equipment. I have no malicious intent in attending the banquet." He also showed a cooperative attitude, hoping to defuse the sudden tension through calm communication.
Just as the atmosphere was about to solidify with tension, a middle-aged man's deep voice suddenly broke the deadlock with a hint of playfulness and disbelief, "V, wherever you are, chaos seems to follow, huh?" Hearing this familiar voice, V couldn't help but smile, turning to see Takemura standing not far away, looking at him with that ambiguous expression. Takemura, Arasaka Saburo's personal bodyguard, was also V's partner who had shared life and death with him during his adventurous and challenging journey.
At first, there was deep distrust between V and Takemura after all, they came from different worlds with different purposes and loyalties. However, as time passed and they faced danger together time and time again, solving problems together, they slowly built a deep trust between them. V gradually discovered that although Takemura seemed serious and reserved on the surface, he was actually a kind-hearted and loyal "good person."
When Takemura appeared, the atmosphere immediately eased. Takemura's presence not only provided timely help to V, but also made the security guards present realize that there might be misunderstandings. After all, as Arasaka Saburo's personal bodyguard, Takemura's status and influence should not be underestimated, and his words could change the course of many things.
Takemura nodded to the security guards, indicating them to temporarily lower their weapons, then walked towards V, smiling and patting his shoulder as if to say, "You've caused trouble again, haven't you?" V responded with a helpless yet grateful smile. On this night full of unknowns and challenges, having the support and companionship of an old friend was undoubtedly a great comfort and strength for V.
Takemura waved to the security guards on the side, his actions seemingly containing implicit authority, making the originally vigilant guards feel an invisible pressure. Even though their gaze still firmly fixed on V, seemingly unwilling to let go, under Takemura's firm gesture, they eventually silently backed away, leaving V and Takemura standing face to face at the spacious entrance.
Watching this scene, a hint of warmth arose in V's heart, along with a sense of helplessness. He turned to Takemura and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Sorry, it seems I still can't change my bad habits." His words revealed a sense of powerlessness at repeatedly getting into trouble, as well as gratitude towards Takemura for timely lending a helping hand.
Takemura simply smiled lightly upon hearing this, his expression filled with understanding and tolerance. As a comrade who had once shared both the good and the bad with V, he deeply understood V's character and way of doing things. Even though V occasionally caused some trouble, it was an integral part of his distinct personality and a persistence that he could not let go of. Takemura knew that in V's heart, there was always an unyielding spirit and a pursuit of justice, which sometimes led him down "unusual" paths, but it was this persistence that shaped the true V.
"It's okay, sometimes these so-called 'bad habits' are what make you who you are." Takemura responded lightly, with a tone full of encouragement and support, as if telling V to persist in being true to themselves no matter what difficulties they encounter.
