The game is set in an unknown Asian city that looks like a "utopia". Thanks to the efforts of Mayor Callahan, the city has changed from a shabby town to a modern metropolis in a few years. Rows of skyscrapers have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, replacing the simple houses in the past; The luxurious glass curtain wall reflects the golden light of the sun, sending light and splendor to a corner of the ground; The streets and alleys are spotless, and the uniform floor tiles and street trees are simple and beautiful; Urban traffic extends in all directions, and subways and light rails connect major commercial centers, efficiently transporting groups of passengers. Urban residents live and work in prosperous communities and enjoy themselves. However, citizens unconsciously paid a corresponding price for the image project of Callahan authorities. For example, the secret of keeping the city clean is the high cost of buying and maintaining cars, and it is the decrease of car ownership that causes the decrease of air pollution sources. Similarly, there are expensive prices behind every kind of enjoyment, and the authorities make huge profits from the high prices. Figure 3: The smoke of conflict under the appearance of "Utopia" and in order to make every citizen happily accept the flashy appearance and safeguard his rule, Callahan authorities closely control the public opinion in the city. The authorities not only installed surveillance cameras in the whole city, but also monitored the telephone calls of citizens, consulted private letters and censored private communications on the Internet, trying to nip any objections in the bud. The high-handed policy of the authorities has successfully blinded the eyes of most citizens and made them content with the status quo. However, there are still a few people who are soberly aware that people have gradually lost the most basic freedom and democratic soul, so they choose to fight against the authorities in the dark. In order to prevent the information from being monitored by the authorities, the underground organization against the authorities hired some runners to deliver handwritten letters in the most primitive way. Since then, some young people, out of their desire for freedom, spontaneously set up a "runner" organization, which is responsible for delivering letters to various employers, including underground organizations. With their agile skills and perfect parkour skills, they shuttled and dodged in high-rise buildings, construction sites and even subway tunnels, escaped the police again and again, and delivered the information to their destinations on time.
Main character
Faith Connors, the protagonist of the game, is a Eurasian, aged 24. Faith's father, Abraham Connors, is a staunch Democrat, and he keeps running for speeches. Influenced by liberal ideas since childhood, Faith has an ignorant understanding of the dark and corrupt side of the authorities, and has also met some democratic politicians, including Pope. Faith suffered misfortune in her childhood, and her mother was involved in a bloody conflict in a demonstration called "November riots" and died unfortunately. /kloc-when he was 0/6 years old, the sad Faith left his home in the old district and came to the new district with many high-rise buildings to make a living by stealing. One night five years later, Faith sneaked into the attic of a building to steal, but was caught red-handed by Mercury, the owner of the attic and a former messenger. Faith, who longed for freedom, joined Laomai after learning about Mock's career. Under his strict and caring instruction, he studied the skills of parkour and hand-to-hand combat, and finally became a real messenger. In addition to making good use of electronic equipment, guiding Freescale behind the scenes through radio equipment, and helping Freescale avoid police tracking through hacker software, Freescale also made many friends who were messengers. Among them, Sharan is Drake's messenger, and his identity is similar to that of Lao Mai. Strong, she likes to find the feeling of survival in the gallop. Jacknife is a retired male messenger. He is quick-witted, and seems to have some long-standing friendship with Faith. Faith has a twin sister Kate. Kate is steady and disciplined, and her character is the opposite of Faith. Kate holds an important position in the police department, which is in sharp contrast to Faith, who often makes trouble in the street. Nevertheless, the sisterhood that grew up together is surprisingly good, and both sides can even do anything for each other. Kate's boss, Lieutenant Miller, is an old police officer of CPF. As a city police organization, CPF (City Protection Force) has the right to take tough measures against any illegal acts. The CCP suppressed a few lawless elements by force, but their existence ensured the stability of the overall situation of the city. Another emerging armed force in the city is the PK (Pirandro/Kruger) mercenary organization that Miller is very worried about. The organization provides safety services for employers, and Callahan is not lacking in background. PK mercenaries with well-equipped weapons adhere to the purpose of serving their employers and perform their tasks without considering any consequences.
Drawing process
The city is about to usher in a new mayoral election. Pop, a friend of Faith's father, is one of the candidates. He won a lot of attention with his ruling idea of "freedom and democracy". Callahan, who is seeking re-election, is very nervous about the menacing Pope, raising the supervision of urban public opinion to an unprecedented intensity. Soon, this change is reflected in the police's attitude towards law enforcement. Faith, who had just recovered from injury, found that the attitude of the city police to the messenger deteriorated sharply during a recovery training. In the past, the police who only gave verbal warnings would even shoot the messenger directly without hesitation. Fei Si and Lao Mai, who didn't know the inside story, were very surprised by the change of the police. Lao Mai promised to investigate the situation after Fei Si's training. One day, just after finishing the task, the bored Faith learned on the old Mac's computer that Kate was in trouble in Pope's office. Faith rushed to Pope's office, found the body of Pope who had been shot in the head, and found a piece of paper that said "Icarus". Kate, who stood by, said that someone had framed her and shot someone with her. But in order to prove her innocence and give Faith enough time to escape, Kate stayed at the crime scene and asked Faith to report the matter to Miller. Faith then contacted Ajie, trying to get more information, only knowing that the Pope's head of security and former wrestler Roppon might have been involved in the murder. So Fez turned to Miller for help and invited him to meet the fire line, hoping that she could get more clues in the audit. Unfortunately, during the meeting, Firerope noticed Faith's existence, but the Firerope that tried to attack Faith was thrown from the roof and scraped on the eaves, hanging by a thread. Just as Faith was about to pick up the surrendered matchlock and listen to his confession, a masked assassin suddenly rushed out of the opposite building and killed the matchlock with a sniper rifle. The next day, Faith used the limited information in the meeting to find the new Eden Mall, but almost fell into the trap of the police ambushing around. Faith, who lost the clue, began to study the mystery of the deterioration of police attitude and tried to enter the PK organization base camp where the police jointly attacked the messenger. Faith finally found out that PK was the executive body of the Icarus project and saw the agile anti-messenger special forces trained by PK. After escaping from the pursuit of the special forces, Faith got the clue and went to the dock to hunt down the assassin who killed Firerope. Faith overpowered the assassin, only to find that it was Sharan. Sharan said that she didn't want to live in exile all day, so she chose to resign. Then when the police arrived at the scene, Sharan took the opportunity to escape. Faith had to decide to rescue Kate herself. Mike used the computer to change the route of the police car escorting Kate. Faith, who ambushed along the way, caused a car accident with a sniper rifle and helped Kate escape to the base of Laomai. However, Faith, who then rushed back to the base, found that the base had been attacked. Old Mai, who was dying under the ruins, told Faith that Kate had been taken to Shade Building, where Callahan government and city security monitoring system were located. Faith, who arrived at the building, destroyed some computer servers halfway with Miller's help and rushed to the top floor. There, Faith met Ajie who kidnapped Kate at gunpoint. Ajie confirmed that he was one of the participants in the Icarus project and had sold some personal information of the members of the courier group. Just as Ajie got on the helicopter with Kate and was about to leave, Fez caught up and kicked Ajie out of the cabin. Ajie went to rolling in the deep from the highest building in the city. Unfortunately, the helicopter was destroyed during random shooting. Faith rescued Kate back to the building at the critical moment. After the disaster, the two sisters hugged each other to show comfort. In the final rolling list, the background news broadcast said that the government increased its support for the Icarus project after the incident, and Faith and Kate were wanted as murderers of Pope. However, due to the destruction of Shade Building's servers, the authorities advised people to avoid using electronic communication tools until everything returned to normal.
