Cyberpunk: 2075

The Hawk Moth Bar is a common gathering place in Dog Town. Carl's first impression of it was quite ordinary.

It can only be ordinary.

In terms of the underworld, this bar is not as good as the Afterlife. In terms of familiarity, this bar is not as good as the Wild Wolf Bar. In terms of service content, this bar is not as good as the Lizzy Bar. Everything is ordinary, so what kind of special impression can it have?

Walking into the bar, the first person Carl saw was not Mann and his friends sitting at the bar, but the bartender of the Hawk Moth Bar.

It was a woman with short blond hair, a few freckles on the bridge of her nose, and an ordinary appearance. She was wearing a dark green jacket with cuffs pulled up. There were very obvious traces of transformation on her chest. Karl took a second look and felt a little strange.

Is it his illusion? He always felt that this bartender seemed to be very skilled. Even though he just took a look at it, he felt that this guy might be able to fight with him.

Have you been too tired recently? Why do you feel this way even when you see a bartender in a bar in Dog Town?

Karl suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart. He had also seen a black bartender with strong feelings in Daino's bar in the city center.

Now I entered an ordinary bar in Dog Town and saw a bartender whose first impression was very strong. Did he feel that he had any special evaluation of the bartender?

When you enter a bar, you feel that the employees in the bar are very strong, which is strange.

This is not an old American blockbuster. The powerful people are lurking in the bar and working as unknown bar employees. That would be too dramatic.

Karl wanted to ignore the blond bartender, but he couldn't help but look at the blond woman a few more times because of the strange feeling in his heart, and the blond woman noticed Karl's gaze coming in from the door. , who was chatting with a female guest, turned her head.

The two looked at each other, and Karl saw a look of shock in the blonde female bartender's eyes that appeared and was quickly suppressed, which made him instantly understand.

He was recognized.

Karl's face was not covered up at all. It was not surprising to be recognized in Dog Town, a place that generally belongs to Night City.

only....

Karl noticed a little detail with his peripheral vision,

When the bartender saw him and recognized him and was shocked, she moved her body. Although the movement was very small and was quickly suppressed and disappeared along with the shock in her eyes, but if she followed that trajectory and completed the movement, she would He touched his waist with his hand and instantly pulled out the pistol from his waist.

It's not a big deal for a bartender to carry a gun, but the action of drawing the gun...:

It was too skilled and programmed, as if he had undergone some kind of training.

However, Karl only glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Overall, he was not sure what the action was, but he had already silently remembered it in his heart.

His hunch may not be specifically directed at the bartender, but rather that the bartender just has the ability.

The standard of bartenders has also improved greatly these days.

"Oh, it looks like a handsome guy has come in."

The blond bartender covered it up quickly, and she quickly moved to face Karl with a smile on her face: "Handsome, what do you want to drink?

"Sweet tea."

During the time Karl was answering, Mann, who heard the movement, turned his head and saw Karl at a glance: "Oh, Karl, you're here. I didn't expect it to be so fast. Where are Oliver and the others?"

"While parking, there seem to be a lot of people around here, so we need to arrange it a little bit."

Karl said, nodding to the other members of Mann's team who turned to look over: "Good afternoon, everyone."

"Yo, Carl."

Regarding Karl's arrival, Pila happily waved her modified golden fingers: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you in the city recently?"

"Just like that, just ordinary."

After recalling the recent events, Karl found that there wasn't much he could share with Mann's team, and the things he could share were indeed ordinary, so he just said that. He looked at the location, and finally found himself in Mann's Sit down next to him.

Then as soon as he sat down, Rebecca on the other side came over and thanked you: "Thank you for my dad's old gun. When you asked the drone to deliver it, my brother and I were shocked. , I didn’t expect that dad’s gun could be brought back.”

"Don't worry, just buy it when you see it."

Karl looked around while responding to Rebecca's words.

Mann, Pyrrha, Rebekah, Dolio, Qiwei and the driver Falco are all here, but there seem to be two people missing.

"Where are David and Lucy?"

"David will have an exam soon. The time is coming soon. Lucy seems to be helping to tutor David."

Listening to Rebecca's words, Karl was stunned for a moment: "Lucy tutors David?"

His first reaction was: Does Lucy have this level? David's studies are quite good, and just when he thought about it, he realized it.

Lucy seemed to have come from an elite background and had received special training since she was a child. It would be no problem for her to teach David about hacking at her level. After all, this aspect was covered in the exams at Arasaka Academy. course.

"No wonder, since there is an exam, there is nothing we can do."

Karl who said this was actually about the same age as David, but he didn't feel anything at all.

Students should be the ones to worry about when exams are approaching. What does it have to do with a mercenary who has already entered society?

"Hey, Mann."

After asking David and Lucy where they were going, Oliver and the others parked the car and set the alarm.

"What do you want, guests?"

The first person to greet them was the blond bartender. Oliver and Jack each asked for the wine they wanted to drink. V

After taking a few last glances at the bartender, he asked for a bottle of beer. At the same time, V's message popped up in the team channel.

"This bartender seems a little strange."

"A little strange?"

Not wanting to look at the blonde bartender, she sat down with a smile on her face. Oliver asked in the team: "Is there anything special?"

"It's hard to say, I feel like she seems to have some skills."

"I have this feeling too."

Carl said in the team communication: "I thought it was just an illusion at first, but I didn't expect that you, V, also felt it, so it seems..."

"I'm watching."

T-BUG's words came out in the communication: "Just act as usual."

"I feel relieved with T-BUG watching me."

Jack sat down without any expression fluctuations at all. The place where he and Oliver sat happened to sandwich the blonde bartender from both sides of the counter.

And the blonde bartender was also sending a message to someone at this time.

Her message was very brief.

"I met the KK team."
