Chapter 47 Rusty Incense (please read it!)
“V, Jack, are you at the Wild Wolf Bar? The client of the last order wants to meet us.
Just in time , I have an idea, let’s meet there. "
Jack: "My home is right here, what do you think, brother"
V: "I'm at Jack's house. I'm finally alive. I've seen you here all day. At home, I thought you were dead.
You should go out for jogging more often, sister will take you. "
Lille: "Running at night in Night City? Do you think you have too many bullets and your scalp is too tough? I rented workout stuff at home. "
V: "I can't stand the way you think of everything. I will deal with you sooner or later. "
While taking a shower, Lear recalled a scene from a certain animation, and was suddenly startled.
Yes, why did David and Lucy go for a night run at night?
Maybe it's because of poverty.
The Wild Wolf Bar is opened by Jack’s mother, Mrs. Wells.
To a certain extent, Wild Wolf is equivalent to Heywood's Afterlife nightclub - a popular gathering place for mercenaries, middlemen and gang boys in this area.
But it is more relaxed, many people come here just to have a drink.
For the Valentino gang, this may be their home.
The passionate Spanish music in the past has now turned into silent music, and the fans are humming on the small round tables and chairs.
As soon as Lear walked over, he saw Jack standing at the entrance of the alley. Although he didn't say it directly, it was obvious that Jack was worried that Lear would be robbed by a gangster again.
"Hermanos (brother), how did you sleep last night?"
"It's okay. I've practiced my skills. If you guys pretend to be prosthetics in the future, forget it. I don't want to rob you. Wei's business."
"Haha, Lao Wei is the best prosthetic doctor in the city. If you want to surpass him, you have to work harder."
The two of them walked a few steps and saw V standing at the entrance of the street, standing quietly and looking ahead.
Following her gaze, you can see an old woman muttering to a flaming iron barrel next to the wall.
Lille patted V: "Why, what are you thinking about?"
V looked at the old woman's back and murmured:
"I just feel Her daughter and she were miserable.
Her daughter was killed by a stray bullet on the street. No one remembered her at the funeral. Her mother was left alone in the corner to mourn alone. When the mother died, no one would remember her.
Two little characters who disappeared in time and no one remembers them. ”
The flame is mixed with the smell of metal. This is the incense used to bid farewell to her daughter.
This old woman seems to have been wandering for two days - it seems that she has spent all the money she collected. All her savings
Looks like her life is at an end
"Let's go and listen to what this mother wants to say - buy her a drink. I think she may not have enjoyed anything."
The girl who was beaten to death by the Sixth Street Gang was called Ami Na, who just turned 22 this year and is about to graduate, has already received an internship opportunity at Arasaka Company.
Although the position is not that good, as an assembler on the rail city, I may only be able to go home for a few days a year.
But at least it is the company’s job, and the rail city is better than safety.
For this job, Melissa borrowed a lot of loans and lived frugally to support Amina for 14 years. Her daughter was also very successful and at least found a job.
To be honest, Lille can imagine the second half of his life.
14 years of hard study and 40 years of hard work repaying loans, in short, a lifetime.
With 14 hours of assembly work, 360 days a year, you may not be able to save 100,000 euros in a few decades of life.
A boring and depressing life - but there are always people who can sustain it because of the wonderful 14 years ahead.
Another humble child - but maybe she doesn't have the dream to burn down the city, but she also has a family she loves, and a family who loves her.
Maybe in the future, she will still have a family that loves and loves her, not so dazzling, but warm enough.
This kind of life ends with a 2-euro bullet. Melissa finished telling her daughter's story with red eyes. It was such a short story that it only took a few words to tell it clearly.
But Melissa remembers every detail, the first time the child laughed, the first time he walked, the first time he called her mother, the first time he was angry, the first time he hugged her< br>
Perhaps for society, children are just scraps of society, but for mothers, they are dazzling treasures.
".Thank you, listen to what I have to say."
Liel raised his glass: "To Amina, a good hard-working girl."
"To Amina."< br>
The three of them drank the wine in one gulp.
Melissa smiled tiredly and handed a watch to Lille: "It's time for me to go. I know you are also busy, just protect yourselves.
This is the first gift Amina gave me, an old-fashioned watch that she repaired by herself. I don’t need this thing anymore, although”
Liel shook his head and took the watch: “We will remember Amina's. "
The old woman nodded with satisfaction and left the Wild Wolf Bar.
This is an antique from the old times. It is not a luxury watch, just an ordinary mechanical watch.< br>
As ordinary as its owner, turning step by step
Not far away, Mrs. Wells quietly wiped her tears, and Jack saw this scene.
“People often say that Night City burns away people’s dreams, but in fact, what is burned out more is this kind of ordinary desire, which does not even have many sparks when thrown into the fire.”
Lille said, putting away the watch, and said to Jack: "Jack, we can talk about work later."
"Thank you, brother, anyone who sees this scene will be shocked. It won't feel good."
V poured himself another glass of wine: "I suddenly felt that killing that guy was a good job, even if the money was a little less - tell me what you did after you went back?"
"I tried a few golems and dismantled his prosthetic body - dismantled and reinstalled, reinstalled and dismantled, to practice my skills."
"You didn't give him anesthesia, did you?"
< br>"Nonsense, do I look like a fool? Let's check the funds first. I have 40,000 euros left, how much do you have?"
After paying the tuition, buying a prosthetic body, Lille This is the only money left here.
But he had expected that money would be spent quickly as it came, especially for someone like him who was about to die.
"What about me? I still have 400,000. I have repaid Lao Wei's money and paid the rent. Then I plan to get myself a new arm. The goods haven't arrived yet, but I have already made a reservation at Lao Wei's."
"Arm? Mantis Knife?"
"How do you know?" V looked surprised, "I also plan to take it out secretly in the future to amaze the audience. Speaking of this, do you think I should pretend to be something special?" An Westan? ”
Implanting prosthetics may cause cyberpsychosis, and An Westan is a must-have for notorious lunatics.
Unlike passive-firing prosthetics like Klenchikov, the probability of Sianwistan causing cyberpsychosis is much higher than that of conventional prostheses.
Lear thought for a while and said: "If you have such concerns, don't pretend."
Reality is not a game. Lear doesn't think that V at this moment really has the conditions to pretend to be a prosthetic body. .
Besides, V is not fighting alone at the moment.
“So talk about living, let’s.”
Bang!
Gunshots and screams came from outside, and the two people's nerves were tense for a moment -
"Valentino's brain-dead man, go to hell!"
A crisp sound rang out, and several people were stunned. A bullet hit V on the back and was bounced away——
“It’s the Sixth Street Gang! Damn it!”
