Start in Night City

With a light touch, the screen lights up.

There is no password set either.

Su Xiao sat down on the chair and browsed the contents of the computer.

He discovered that a camera installed in the basement was connected to the computer.

But when he clicked to take over remotely, it was completely dark.

Nothing can be seen.

It looked like the camera in the basement had been broken.

Helpless, he had to check the information first:

"Hey……"

Sender: Rose Horrigan

Recipient: Juliet Horrigan

Juliet!

God, how long has it been since we last met? How are you?

I guess I have something on my mind, so I wrote to you...

Do you remember that old dam we played with as kids? We shout our names and other boring stuff on it and listen to their echoes...

Our voices carry across the valley...

Sometimes I think I can still hear that voice. All kinds of strange words, as if they floated far away from home, and then came back here...

Strange, right? I don’t know, Juliet, actually everything is not going well for me, I feel worse and worse, and the worst thing is that I have lost my job (so what is the use of the new prosthetic body specially installed for work?)

I hope I didn't scare you or make too many demands, but I just thought it would be nice to hear your voice again and not just an echo...

Maybe this way I can get back on my feet?

Rose! Of course I remember the dam! There was even that time where we wanted to kick idiot Benny Dillard and his drone :P

Yes, I heard about your work. It's a shame, so unlucky. But listen, Sai and I talked and we both agreed that you could come and stay for a while, at least until you feel better. Come on, just like before.

After reading the information, Lidya Su, Lucy, and Rebecca looked at each other.

"It looks like

Son, this woman named Rose should be Juliet's sister, but Sai agreed to Rose coming to live in the first place. It may be that Rose fell ill, which made Sai unable to accept it and left home. "

Seeing Lidya Su looking thoughtful, Rebecca couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you thinking about?"

"I just think that this Rose is also a miserable person who changed to a new prosthetic body for work, and ended up losing her job."

Su Xiao had watched an episode of "Tonight's Talk" before. The guest invited by Sieg Q was a former worker at the "New American Automobile Manufacturing Company" named Martin Coleman.

In order to reduce costs, New American Auto requires workers to wear mechanical prostheses from Zeta Technology, otherwise they will be fired without severance pay.

Except for the young workers who have not yet started a family and started a business, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

Most middle-aged workers with families and homes are forced to choose to replace mechanical prostheses because they cannot live without work.

If you think that these mechanical prosthetics are provided by the company for free, you are wrong, my friend, this is the City of Night, and even magical things will seem so natural here.

Zeta Technologies forced workers who were willing to replace their mechanical prosthetics to take out loans and pay them off over twenty years, with the money deducted directly from their wages.

Although he was burdened with heavy loans, at least he did not lose his job.

The workers can still accept it.

However, less than a year later, they were dumbfounded.

Because Xinmei Auto went bankrupt.

Workers, including Martin, have since been living on the streets.

Martin has a wife who cannot work, and two daughters who are waiting to be fed.

For their sake, and also to be able to repay the loan from Zeta Technology.

Martin struggled to find a job.

He has been to every factory in the industrial area in the north of the city and the river valley area, and he can pay as much as he wants.

But during that time, Night City's light and heavy industries were in their most difficult period.

Workers are losing their jobs everywhere, and factories are closing down every day.

It was impossible for Martin to find a job.

Without a job, there is no income, and there is no way to repay the loan.

Then Zeta Technology’s mortgage recovery team arrived.

They forcibly removed Martin's mechanical prosthesis and took him away.

In this way, he became a cripple.

Ironically, on the show at that time, in order to promote a new prosthetic body for military technology, Chigurh deliberately displayed it when Martin was at his saddest.

This sent a wrong signal to Martin and the audience present, as well as those in front of the television.

Let them mistakenly think that the prosthetic arms are for Martin.

But in fact, Sieg never said anything about sending it away from beginning to end.

It is said that as soon as the show ended, Sieg left, and the pair of prosthetics were naturally taken away by the staff.

Even Martin, who was injured again, was ruthlessly driven back to the street from the recording scene.

…

Su Xiao recovered her mind and saw the two women looking at her.

He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"If we look at other emails, maybe that will tell us what happened here."

"About Rose"

Sender: Victor Victor

Recipient: Juliet Horrigan

Ms. Horrigan,

I'm glad you came to me for help instead of the charlatans at the Knife Clinic.

But I'm sorry, I'm afraid what I bring is not good news.

The symptoms you describe suggest that the patient has fallen into a severe disorder that will continue to worsen regardless of follow-up measures.

In this case, I'm afraid no matter how much you try to help your sister, it won't help.

The real "antidote" can only be the Terrorist Mobile Team, if you know what I mean.

Good thing you contacted me, but you better contact them next. The sooner she gets them dealt with, the safer everyone around her will be. including you

Victor Victor

"Lao Wei?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, Lao Wei was actually involved in this matter.

Juliet even asked Lao Wei for help.

"Terrorist Mobile Team..."

Su Xiao was just guessing before, but now she can believe it 100%.

Juliet's sister Rose suffers from cyberpsychosis.

That's why there is not a single euro in the safe at home.

Because all the money was used by Juliet to buy medicines to treat cyberpsychosis.

Juliet's husband also chose to leave because he couldn't bear it.

Chapter 88 Let me clarify, this is not a rumor (4K)

The last two emails on the computer were from Juliet and Rose's mothers, and from the old captain.

The former was because Rose suddenly called her mother 40 times. After her mother answered the call, Rose didn't say a word, only breathing heavily.

The mother found it strange that no one picked up the phone when she called back, so she wanted to ask Juliet what was going on.

Juliet comforted her mother that everything was fine.

The latter was after Juliet lost contact with the old captain. The old captain asked Juliet about Zeta's technological data and how many jobs the old captain had here. He could only leave it to Juliet, and no one else was worried.

But Juliet did not reply to the last email sent by the old captain.

I don’t know that something happened at that time.

Still Juliet because

He had no time to care about Rose's relationship.

…

Juliet's house is not big, there is only so much on the first floor.

Now that the first floor has been explored, let’s start investigating the second floor.

The three of them returned to the sofa in the living room.

Follow the stairs against the wall and go all the way up to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is narrower than the first floor, with only two rooms.

First, Su Xiao opened the door near the stairs.

Inside is a bedroom.

The bed is like a train sleeper, with upper and lower bunks.

There was a lot of dried blood on the wardrobe door that you could see the first time you entered.

A chair was brought to the floor.

The room was in a mess and miserable.

Through the scenes at the scene, Su Xiao's mind unconsciously restored the situation at that time:

It must be Juliet, or her husband Cy, trying to control the mad Rose.

Hug her from behind.

Their backs may have been injured and bleeding.

Then Rose pushed her hard against the wardrobe.

That would leave those dried blood stains on the closet door.

There was still a bad smell in the room.

There is an open medical kit on the table.

The medical supplies inside are almost gone.
