Jack stopped wandering, sighed and said: "We were carrying out a dangerous commission, but we were discovered by the enemy, and then the enemy blocked us at the door."

"At that time, I thought we were dead, but the ghost stood up and gave us hope of escaping. However, the enemy also had experts, and the ghost was no match for the opponent."

"With Ghost's strength, he could have escaped if he had escaped alone, but at that time he did not choose to escape alone, and the enemy even extended an olive branch to Ghost."

"However, in the face of the enemy's invitation, he stood unswervingly on our side. Perhaps his determination angered the enemy, and he was stabbed through the body with a knife. He is a real tough guy."

As he talked, Jack couldn't go on. The other party was obviously the most powerful among the three of them, but in the end, the two of them were not injured, but the strongest one was seriously injured.

"...This happened."

After listening to Jack's simple story, Misty couldn't help but feel a little moved. She didn't expect that the person whose whole body was covered in cold prosthetics would be so soft inside.

Like Lao Wei, the other party is a person who insists on his own morality, and it is this kind of people that she admires the most.

"Okay, Jack, you're making me feel a little embarrassed."

Xia Yu said a little embarrassedly as he slowly walked out of the stairwell.

He also heard what Jack said just now, which made his already suppressed conscience begin to ache again. The other party treated him so sincerely, and he even collaborated with his employees to act out and deceive the other party.

However, Xia Yu immediately recalled Jack's fate in the game, and his conscience instantly disappeared. Jack's death in the game was quite miserable. He was changing the fate of the other party.

As long as he joins his company, the other party will be protected, and at least he will have no problem surviving until the finale.

In addition to Jack, V is also like this. The main line of the entire game is that V tries every means to survive. In this way, he changes the fate and saves the two of them.

As long as you don't watch the process and the ending is happy for everyone, then there's no problem.

Besides, if he told the truth, would these people believe him? He worked so hard to save them, is there anything wrong with having fun in the process?
  no problem!
  Thinking of this, Xia Yu's conscience immediately stopped hurting, that is to say, handsome Jack acted too fast, otherwise he could have acted for a while longer.

Maybe if you continue to act, you can make a big movie, and when the renovation of Night City is completed, it can be released as a celebration film.

"Ghost, are you okay?!"

Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to have recovered his body, Jack immediately ran over with a look of joy on his face, and then gave Xia Yu a big hug.

As expected of Lao Wei! Such a serious injury can be repaired so quickly.

Because he did not see the repair process, Jack did not know that Lao Wei only provided tools for the repair this time, and even just watched from the side.

"Ahem, it's okay, you're holding me so hard that I can't breathe."

Xia Yu patted Jack's back hard. Feeling Xia Yu's struggle, Jack let go of his hand and smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry, I was so excited, I thought you..."

"Why did you think I was dead?"

Xia Yu said angrily. Although he was a bit exaggerated just now, it is really not good to be hugged by a grown man.

It would be okay if it was V. After all, the V here is a female V, not a male V.

Unfortunately, V was not as enthusiastic as Jack. He just came over and punched him lightly: "It's okay. I owe you a favor this time."

"Don't you want a hug?"

Since V doesn't take the initiative, then he should take the initiative.

But V was obviously not as stupid as Jack. She rolled her eyes and hummed, "That's a nice thought, but not everyone can enjoy my hug."

"Then you can always tell me your real name. Although it's okay to call it V, it should be just the abbreviation or nickname of your name."

After hearing this, V thought for a while. It seemed that only Xia Yu among the people present did not know her real name. Jack and Misty were both old acquaintances and had known it for a long time.

Thinking of this, V said as if he didn't care: "My name is Valerie, but only people who are very familiar with it know this, so don't shout randomly."

"learn."

Achievement, V’s real name.

Xia Yu silently thought of an achievement for himself. If this were in the game, such an achievement would definitely pop up.

"Now that you know my real name, let me see your face."

V suddenly came close to Xia Yu, stared at his mask and said: "We have lived and died together, but until now I still don't know what you look like. You can't be so transformed that your face is peeled off, right? .”

Seeing V suddenly approaching, Xia Yu couldn't help but take a step back.

"...can I refuse?"

"Sorry, can not."

"..."

"OK then."

Anyway, there was nothing to hide from this face. Xia Yu tapped the mask and suddenly found Jack silently approaching him. Even Misty, who was meeting for the first time, couldn't help but glance over here secretly.

But as if she noticed his gaze, Misty turned her head back like a thief.

"..."

Is a hidden face really so attractive? If this were in an anime, the frontal view would never be given, and the face would only be reflected through the expression of the person watching it.

Xia Yu, who was slightly speechless, completely opened the mask, revealing the ordinary face of the ghost walker.

"You kid, I didn't expect you to be pretty good-looking!"

Looking at the face under the mask, V raised his eyebrows, whistled and joked.

"Well...it turns out it looks like this. It's a little different from what I imagined." Jack also looked up and down and commented.    "Then what was your original imagination?"

Xia Yu closed the mask again and asked casually. After hearing this question, Jack thought for a while and replied.

"It's covered in cuts and scars, or it's a disfigured face, otherwise why would you keep wearing a mask."

"...Because this is not a mask, this is a tactical eyepiece."

After putting on the mask again, Xia Yu suddenly turned his head and directly met the eyes of a peeking woman.

Misty: "..."

"Ahem, I didn't peek, I was just curious about what you were doing."

It would be better not to explain it.

"Don't you know how to divine? Just divine what I look like."

Xia Yu stepped forward, picked up the tarot cards on Misty's divination table and waved them.

As expected, occult science will always be pursued no matter what age it is. This is already 2076, and there is still a market for these things.

"What do you think divination is? Is it omnipotent?"

Misty rolled her eyes, took the tarot cards handed over by Xia Yu, and then shuffled them smoothly.

"If divination is really that omnipotent, then everyone might as well just follow the divination results and do nothing. In this way, everyone can make money and the world will be peaceful."

After finishing speaking, Misty folded the shuffled tarot cards, placed them horizontally, and started cutting the cards.

After a simple cutting of the cards, the tarot cards returned to a full stack of cards. Misty placed her hand on top of the cards and arranged them in a row across the cards.

"Would you like to tell your fortune?"

"Actually, I believe in Liuyao more than Tarot cards, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try."

As Xia Yu spoke, he took out a card from the card pile. When he was about to pick it up, Misty held down the card.

"I am the soothsayer. What are you doing with the card? Let me see what this card is?"

Misty held down the card with one finger, then pulled it in front of her, and then solemnly turned it over.

On the card is a hermit in a robe, holding a lamp and a cane, groping alone in the darkness.

"Hermit, do you want to ask about career or love?"

"Just career, I don't worry about feelings."

After getting the answer, Misty began her own interpretation: "Hidden facts, individual actions, listening to other people's opinions, enjoying solitude... You retire during the golden period of your career, and no one else understands that this is just you preparing for the next golden opportunity." Rest when the time comes.”

"It doesn't sound like good or bad words." Jack, who had already come over, listened to Misty's interpretation and expressed his own opinions.

"So you're ready to retire?" V was also curious about divination, so he asked Xia Yu directly.

"...This is just divination. Who takes divination seriously?"

Although he said this, Xia Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the interpretation of the hermit was quite accurate.

Whether it is the hidden facts or individual actions, they are consistent with what he is doing, and retiring during the prime period of his career is just to accumulate strength, which also echoes his decision not to become a mercenary.

However, the purpose of vague divination interpretation is to make the divination person think of himself, and it can also be regarded as a psychological method.

"Interesting, I'll try it too."

V was also a little eager to try. After hearing this, Misty reshuffled and cut the cards, and asked V to draw one card from it.

"Are you the reverse chariot, career or relationship?"

"That must be a career."

V replied without hesitation that her mission had failed and she was currently worried about her career, so she happened to be using divination to explore the future.

"Failed arguments, disputes, sudden failures... If you give up what you have insisted on in your career in the past, the ending will be more perfect."

"This doesn't sound like a good sign."

Upon hearing this divination answer, especially the sudden failure, V frowned tightly.

"Don't worry." Misty said comfortingly: "Divination is just divination. It does not mean that the future will definitely be like this. This is just a reminder for you."

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

Seeing that both Xia Yu and V had finished their divination, Jack hurriedly pushed aside the two of them and sat in front of Misty. No matter whether the divination was good or bad, he wanted to try it.

Another set of procedures came down, Misty turned over the cards and interpreted.

"You are on the wheel of fortune, which represents a critical event, new opportunities...the arrival of the god of luck."

"The wheel of fortune is turning to the lowest moment in your life. You may not be able to accept it, but if you can look at it with a normal heart, this is undoubtedly the best time for you to grow up and you need to face it seriously."

"A chance?"

After listening to Misty's interpretation, Jack looked forward to it. Although he might not be able to accept it, if he could treat it with a normal mind, it would be the best time to grow up.

"Okay, don't pay too much attention to the results of the divination."

Misty put away the tarot cards on the table and explained casually: "Don't regard divination as something that will definitely happen in the future. If divination is absolutely accurate, then if you do divination before doing anything, wouldn't everyone be successful?"

"This is just a warning to you. No matter what you do, you should think about it first and don't be too decisive. After all, there is no shortage of lies and deception in Night City."
