Chapter 248 But that’s how it is in Night City (still the silver adoptive father Forzen)
The Red Shirt Mental Hospital is where the unlicensed doctor was.
The David gang lay in rows on the bed, watching the news and looking at each other.
Besides David, there was another person lying in the room next to him: Thiago Ramirez, the veteran who almost died together with Akhara that night.
The veteran's consciousness is still a little sluggish, a typical state of recovery from cyberpsychosis, similar to Cedric before.
Next to him was a little girl of almost 10 years old, sitting quietly without making any noise, but if you look carefully, you would know that this little girl didn't know what to do at all.
“WNS TV station brings you the report.”
“Last night’s terrorist attack on the H8 skyscraper was undoubtedly a major blow to the law and public order in Night City.”
“Many police officers stated that the terrorists were terrifying cyberpsychotics and put the victim’s body in a box before leaving, and blood even flowed out of the box.”
“The name The NCPD police officer said: 'I heard their name was the Horror Flesh Castle, but I didn't know what the name meant until I saw this scene.'"
"'Yeah, they really do put people in burgers. My guess is that the box is some kind of human flesh processing device. Sorry, I'm sick.'"
The news talks about this place, Lille His face darkened, he turned off the TV and looked at David.
Just now Lille was learning about what happened at Phoenix Nightclub that night.
"Continue."
"Uh ok, Akhara gave up the resistance, and then the middleman found his girlfriend's body in the Phoenix, which had been in the fire for some time.
Mr. Ramirez was deceived by Jotaro, who told him that as long as he solved the problem, he would let his daughter go.
But”
David couldn’t bear to continue talking, and Regina at the door took over: “But Ramirez’s daughter has been dead for a long time, 17 The 20-year-old girl was put on front by Jotaro and her internal organs were eviscerated.
Both of these two people were deceived by Jotaro. Jotaro promised them that he would let go of the people they valued, but in fact he had no such intention at all.
It’s just that Aehara may have subconsciously realized the truth, but at a loss, he chose to sink into the status quo, accept transformation, and become his thug.
Ramirez believed that Jotaro only ate hard food, but he didn't expect that his daughter would be dead long ago - or maybe he refused to believe this fact.
No matter what, although one chose to surrender and the other chose to fight, they both collapsed at the same time, and their swords pointed at each other.
In a sense, they are obviously similar people and want similar things. Maybe they can still be friends without these things -
But that's the way it is in Night City. ”
After finishing speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.
Regina sighed and continued: "The tragedies brought by Jotaro are not limited to these.
The little girl in the room was the 'cargo' in the van that night, and luckily she was saved.
I checked, the little girl’s father is also a bastard, he often visits Phoenix Nightclub to participate in du He was a prostitute, a drug addict, unemployed, and living on his old age.
He locked his 70-year-old mother in a random iron room in a slum, and she didn't give her food without money - to be precise. No food was injected.
The old mother was covered with prosthetic tubes for feeding.
Later, when he really ran out of money, he sold his daughter to Jotaro.
When we accompanied the girl home, her grandmother had just died of hunger. "
Liel looked up and looked into the other room. Ramirez looked at the little girl with dull eyes and gently stroked her dirty hair.
The girl didn't respond either. , sitting quietly, just like she was in the van that night.
"Fortunately, things are finally over. ”
Regina took a long breath, as if she wanted to let out all the pent-up emotions in her chest.
But these things are only a small part of Night City.
Tender blood relationships are actually rare. Depravity, rebellion and vendetta for money are the norm.
After a while, David suddenly raised his head: "I want to put the Si'an Westan on the evil original body!"
Everyone cast a surprised look.
Mann said dissatisfied: "Hey, you kid, if you want to pretend, I'll pretend first."
"No! I'll pretend." David interrupted firmly, "Brother Mann, you've already pretended to have too many prosthetics. Even if some of them are turned off, it is already close to the limit.
The body that has been equipped with prosthetics has a permanent decrease in endurance. I have almost never had prosthetics installed, so it is the most suitable for implants. . ”
Liel turned his back on this argument and walked towards the wall with Regina.
Regina was the first to speak: "That day you killed a total of 172 registered members of the Tiger Claw Gang, and the total reward was 85,000 euros.
Then there is the commission fee. According to your request, the buyer will arrange evacuation for you, so the price will be lower. After deducting the handling fee, your share is 70,000 euros.
Finally, there is the bonus for killing Jotaro - I gave it to you alone. Originally, I also received a commission from Mox, and the 50,000 that have not been used are all given to you. ”
Transfer: +205,000 euros
Account balance: 361,704 euros
Not bad, there are another three hundred thousand in the account.
After completing the collection, Lear said: "Yes, what are your plans next?" "Jotaro is still involved in a lot of things, I guess I will be busy for a while taking on the commissions of those angry victims.
Do you remember one of the traffickers, Jae Hyun? This man was actually a scavenger and was very popular with Jotaro.
I have locked down their lair. Are you interested? "
"Me? We have to stay away from the limelight, you think about them."
Leal pointed to the Davidians in the room.
Finally, the argument came to an end.
David finally convinced Mann with sufficient theory and suggestions from other people in the team - especially Dolio's strong suggestion: a heavy punch. .
As soon as Lear turned his head, he saw David looking at him with vigour.
So he withdrew his gaze again and said to Regina: "What do you think?"
Regina smiled: "Of course, with Si'an Westan and these experiences, they can It's considered a good hand on the road.
By the way, I checked this hospital for you. There are no gangs covering it, but it cooperates a lot with scavengers.
How are you going to deal with it? ”
Liel pointed out the window.
Boom.
The heavy engine sound came from a distance, which was incompatible with the sounds of the cars in Night City.
Four homeless cars stopped on the side of the road. Panan got out of the car and waved to Lille, looking very excited.
A few homeless men took out big guns from the trunk, put them on their shoulders, and walked towards the hospital.
River and Anna were also downstairs, wearing NCPD uniforms and leading the way.
"From now on, this will be Adecado's city station."
"Where are the staff?"
"There are many young people in Westbrook who want to find jobs. I'm there There are people helping me recruit people, and there are a lot of chips on hand. I believe there are still many people who are willing to do serious jobs other than sex dolls."
Regina nodded in agreement, but a little weirdly. Said: "You know what? What you said seems to be a bit discriminatory towards sex couples."
"Huh?" Lear scratched his head, "To tell you the truth, I really think they should choose Something with more autonomy”
"Let me declare first that I agree with your thoughts, but the same cannot be said for the Mox Gang -
Those chicks admire you now, it's best not to let them know your thoughts, otherwise they will Got disillusioned.”
< br>"I'm not in the media, I don't have the baggage of being an idol."
Regina's expression became even weirder: "I'm in the media."
". Can you please stop worrying about this? ? Please contact me if you have any questions.”
"Speaking of this." Regina suddenly said, "There is a big shot who wants to contact you, Jefferson Peralez, the mayoral candidate. He also helped with the skyscraper."
I raised my eyebrows slightly: "Did he say anything?"
"It's about the Watson North Industrial Zone. Specifically, he wants to interview you. He just wants to ask me for my contact information. What do you mean? ?
My suggestion is that you'd better think carefully. Cooperation with these politicians is not easy. If you are not sure, I can be your middleman. ”
Lirmo. He chinned and thought: Almost everyone advised them not to get involved in the muddy waters of politics. If they wanted to get involved, it would be best to find an organization.
But personally, if you don’t care about politics, politics will care about you.
Lille happens to be not the kind of person who is apolitical, on the contrary.
Although the memory is a bit fuzzy, Lille feels that this should be his area of expertise.
"Let's talk first. I have to say a few words to my people first, and then prepare a few prosthetic surgeries."
"Okay."
After that, the two simply said goodbye.
Jack and V were waiting in the corridor outside the door, both of them looking thoughtful.
In the end, V asked the question that was lingering in their minds at the same time.
"Lil. Is it dangerous to pretend to be a prosthetic body? What were they fighting about just now?"
Lil looked at David's group with different expressions inside, and then I looked at the two clear-eyed young men in front of me
He said slowly: "With me, there is no danger."
"You're awesome mano, I'll tell you you're reliable!"
Jack slapped Lille with his big hand, V walked aside Smiling slightly: "What a stinker, you kid."
Lil shrugged.
This is the truth.
