Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

The Red Shirt Mental Hospital is where the unlicensed doctor was.

David's gang lay in rows on the bed, watching the news and looking at each other.

In addition to 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, there was a little girl of almost 10 years old, sitting quietly, not making any noise, but if you look carefully, you will know that this little girl has no idea what to do.

"WNS TV station brings you the broadcast."

"Last night's terrorist attack on the H8 skyscraper was undoubtedly a major blow to law and public order in Night City."

"Multiple police officers stated that the terrorists were horrific cyberpsychotics and put the victim's body in a box before leaving, and blood even flowed out of the box."

"The NCPD officer said: 'I heard their name was the Horrible Human Flesh Castle. I didn't know the meaning of the name until I saw this scene.'"

"'Yeah, they really do put people in burgers. I'm guessing that box is some kind of human flesh processing device. Sorry, I vomit.'"

When the news mentioned this place, Leer's 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. The 17-year-old girl was exposed by Jotaro, and her internal organs were destroyed. Empty out.

Both of these people were deceived by Jotaro, who promised them both that he would let go of the people they valued, but in fact had no intention of doing so.

It's just that Akhara 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 eats 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, both of them 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 without these things, they can still be friends--

But that’s how Night City is. "

After he finished 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 and found out that the little girl's father is also a bastard. He often frequents Phoenix Nightclub to participate in gambling, whoring and taking drugs. He is unemployed and relies on old age.

He locked his 70-year-old mother in a random iron room in a slum, and she didn't give her money or food - to be precise, she didn't give her food for injections.

That old mother's body was covered with prosthetics for intubation and 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. "

Leal looked up at the other room. Ramirez looked at the little girl with dull eyes and gently stroked her dirty hair.

The girl didn't respond and sat quietly, just like she had in the van compartment 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.

In fact, warm blood relationships are rare, and corruption, rebellion and vendetta for money are the norm.

After a while, David suddenly raised his head: "I want to put the Si'an Westan in the evil original body!"

Everyone cast surprised glances.

Mann said dissatisfied: "Hey, you kid, if you want to pretend, I'll pretend first."

"No! I'm pretending." David interrupted firmly, "Brother Mann, you have installed too many prosthetics. Even if you turn off some of them, you are already close to the limit.

A body that has had prosthetics has a permanent decrease in endurance. I have almost never had prosthetics, so I am the most suitable for implants. "

Lear turned his back on the argument and walked toward the wall with Regina.

Regina was the first to speak: "You killed a total of 172 recorded members of the Tiger Claw gang that day, 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

Yes, there are another three hundred thousand in the account.

After completing the collection, Lille said: "That's good, what are your plans next?"

“Jotaro is still involved in a lot of things, and I guess I’ll be busy taking on commissions from those angry victims for a while.

Remember one of the traffickers, Jae Hyun? This man is actually a scavenger, and he is very popular with Jotaro.

I have locked their nest, are you interested? "

"Me? We have to avoid the limelight. You think about them."

Leal pointed to the Davidians in the room.

Finally, the argument came to an end.

David finally used enough theory and suggestions from other people in the team——

Especially Dolio's strong suggestion: a heavy punch convinced Mann.

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 be considered good experts.

By the way, about this hospital. I checked it for you. It’s not covered by gangs, but it cooperates a lot with scavengers.

How are you going to handle it? "

Leal pointed out the window.

boom.

The heavy engine sound came from far away, which was incompatible with the sounds of the cars in Night City.

Four Rangers cars parked on the side of the road. Panan got out of the car and waved to Lille, looking very excited.

Several homeless people took out large 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.

"This will be Adecado's station in the city from now on."

"Where are the staff?"

"There are many young people in Westbrook who want to find jobs. I have people there to help me recruit people, and I also have a lot of chips on hand. I believe there are still many people who are willing to do serious jobs other than sex."

Regina nodded in agreement, but said a little weirdly: "You know what? What you said seems to be a bit discriminatory against sex couples."

"Huh?" Lear scratched his head, "To tell you the truth, I really think they should choose some jobs with more autonomy."

"Let me state first that I agree with your idea, but the same cannot be said for the Mox Gang -

Those chicks are worshiping you now, it's best not to let them know what you think, or they'll become disillusioned. "

"I'm not in the media, I don't have the baggage of being an idol."

Regina's expression became even weirder: "I work in the media."

"Can you please stop worrying about this? If you have any questions, please contact me again."

"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 matter."

Lear raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did he say anything?"

"It's about the Watson North Industrial Area. Specifically, he wants to have an interview with you. He just wants my contact information. What do you mean?

My suggestion is that you'd better think carefully. Cooperating with these politicians is not easy. If you are not sure, I can be your middleman. "

Lear rubbed his chin and thought: Almost everyone advised them not to get involved in the muddy waters of politics. If they wanted to get involved, it was best to find an organization.

But personally, if you don’t care about politics, politics will care about you.

Lille happens not to be apolitical, on the contrary.

Although his 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 some prosthetic surgeries."

"good."

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, it was V who asked the question that was lingering in their minds at the same time.

"Lil. Is pretending to be a prosthetic something dangerous? What were they arguing about just now?"

Lear looked at David's group with different expressions inside, and then at the two clear-eyed young men in front of him.

He said slowly: "With me, there is no danger."

"You're awesome mano, I'm telling you you're reliable!"

Jack's big hand slapped Leer hard, and V walked aside and smiled slightly: "What a stinker, you kid."

Leal shrugged.

That's the truth.
