i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 61 Security
In order to explain how the bed sheets were turned into handkerchiefs, Li Pan made up a martial arts novel and wrote it in the daily newspaper as a task progress report, saying that he carried the handkerchief in his pocket and kept it safe.

He never expected that the company would be incredibly generous in terms of monster settlement. As long as the manager himself judges that there is no problem, it will be considered as the completion of the task and he will be given a silver key.

In the end, Li Pan had finished his day's work, fished online for a day, stepped off work, and came to see Uncle Chen at the agreed place.

This is the junction of the old capital area and the commuter area, under the canal bridge, a small restaurant at the tip of the Riverview Terrace. The restaurant is a triangle, with one window facing the row upon row of high-rise buildings, and the other side overlooking the thousands of lights of apartment shacks in the distance.

shit burger

Not Li Pan's personal opinion, but the name of the restaurant, THE SHIT BURGER...

By the way, this restaurant sells hamburgers...what the hell is the name...

As soon as you enter the door, the flow of people is not bad, and there are takeaway robots queuing up to pick up meals.

"Xiao Li, this way."

"Hey, Uncle Chen, I'm sorry for coming so early, the off-duty time is too busy, you must have waited for a long time."

Li Pan smiled and sat across from Uncle Chen. At this time, he was wearing the uniform of a hamburger restaurant waiter, and a handsome guy with a wheat complexion came over with a plate.

"Hello, your meal is complete. Help you enjoy your meal."

Well, just bring everyone over.

Li Pan smiled and said nothing, but Chen Shu didn't care and opened his mouth,
"Try it, this burger is a bit more expensive, but the taste is really good."

"Thank you for your compliment, please use it slowly."

Kawasaki Ayato smiled and nodded to Li Pan, then turned to receive other customers.

Li Pan looked at his back and smiled at Uncle Chen,

"He speaks Chinese quite well, isn't he really proficient in eight foreign languages?"

Uncle Chen took out Coke from the dinner plate,

"There are fourteen kinds at the native language level. There are very few young people who do not rely on intelligent assistance for self-study these days."

Li Pan nodded repeatedly,

"Yes, yes, this kind of aspiring young man is really a pillar of public safety! Let's see if the warehouse is too good for its use?"

"It's okay. He's still in the internship period, and he came in through the back door. He's not a pillar. It's good to practice at your place."

Uncle Chen sent a photo from the communication channel. This is a picture of three young police officers wearing police uniforms and swearing an oath to the Security Bureau.

Standing on the right is Ayato Yamazaki. Of course, this must be a fake name, but the name tag on the police uniform has been removed and replaced with the brand of the Fourth Investigation Office.

Li Panhan said, "Ah... Uncle Chen, you can just tell me the secrets of this bureau, is it really all right?"

There is a saying that Li Pan didn't ask, but isn't your third mission 'secrecy'? ?
"You can find out that he hasn't joined the job yet, so it's a secret."

Uncle Chen opened the lid of the Coke, took out a small ice cube from the cup and put it on the table. Looking carefully, he could find a transparent worm in the ice cube.

"Nano-robots are used for location tracking. They are anti-detection ones, and they will only be activated when the ice melts. It doesn't matter, he's here to check on me. Recently, you've been on the focus list. No matter who you come into contact with, they will investigate.

Now that the project has been approved, an infiltrating investigator will be sent to you anyway. Isn't it a good idea to be stunned. "

Li Pan swallowed, fuck, he wasn't expecting this kind of infiltrating investigator...

"No, the fourth office? Counterintelligence investigation office? So I'm a spy??"

"The fourth division investigates all hostile forces against the Security Committee. When it was first established, the main investigation object was the defeated party in the war of the previous generation, the remnants of the legion forces. Now the fourth division of the 0791 branch mainly investigates Gao Tianyuan after he surrendered. Chi Tiangou, an extremist terrorist organization split under its banner."

While eating hamburgers, Uncle Chen used encrypted communication to talk to Li Pan,
"That kid was supposed to go undercover in Gao Tianyuan, but our contact person there was thrown from the roof of the building. That line is temporarily unsafe, and there is no place for him in the bureau. Isn't that right? Is there a shortage of people who are recruiting, so I transferred him here to investigate you. Don’t worry about his background, just use it as you like.”

Li Pan was speechless for a while, how could he not mind this, how dangerous the company is!If this guy was accidentally killed by a monster, he would have thought it was him!Jumping into Tokyo Bay can't wash it off!

"No, Uncle Chen, just tell me what you want. I'm just a wage earner. If you have anything to do, just tell me. At worst, I don't want it for two thousand and five months. Why don't you just resign?"

Uncle Chen sucked on Coke,

"So I tell you not to worry about it. They are just dealing with it according to the rules and doing things according to the law. Who told you to show up suddenly these few days, and frequently participate in Gao Tianyuan's internal affairs, and have a deep relationship with the Ye family, so several departments are concerned. Noticed you.

But in fact, the Security Bureau and Monster Company have cooperated for a long time, and they know each other well.They just don't have enough authority to reach them.

In fact, as a member of the safety committee, your company has always been our third department responsible for key confidentiality, and has the first priority on the security list.

Because it is too troublesome to follow the laws and regulations on the table, and there is no room for maneuver at that time.The people from the three of us and your local manager will maintain private communication to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts between the security bureau and you. When necessary, we can even use the power of the entire security bureau to assist you in the monster attack. deal with.

Of course, most of the time, we entrust you to assist in handling and keeping monsters. After all, you are experts in this area. Most of the general managers are monster consultants hired by our three departments.And we are your consulting company. "

It turns out that there is still this kind of tacit understanding under the table. The security department is still the company's security...

Then Uncle Chen dipped the French fries in the sauce,
"However, Xiao Li, I also have to advise you. Since you have taken advantage of the company, you should not run around in the streets and kill people when you have been strengthened to the fifth level. There is such a big commotion, and the security bureau is watching from top to bottom. So, we can't mess around in the open, we can only wait until you are caught in the police station and then released on bail. Everyone is in trouble, why bother?"

Li Pan understood, "Hey Uncle Chen, I see what you said, am I a newcomer, now I understand, try to avoid it, and promise not to leave a living to cause trouble for you."

Uncle Chen smiled,

"Ayato Yamazaki this time is just incidental, mainly to show you this photo, does anyone still have an impression?"

photo?

Li Pan glanced at the swearing-in photos of the three young police officers. On the right is Ayato Yamazaki, on the left is a cold-faced man, and in the middle is a local oriental man with a Chinese character face and silkworm eyebrows. He looks very distinctive. When Pan took a closer look, it really looked familiar, and he remembered it when he thought about it again.

"...Ah, yes, I have seen it!"

There is a chance.

When Li Pan rushed to the interview back then, this was the person who passed him by. Then when he entered the interview, an examiner had exactly the same face shape, almost printed out of the same mold.

Yes, that interview!In the engineering school, the interview for the starship sergeant!The time someone threw it in the trash!

"It's this guy! Didn't he go to heaven, why did he go to the Security Bureau... Wait a minute, that interview was really Starfleet recruiting?"

Li Pan suddenly understood a little bit. In fact, when he was dragged by the motorcycle and ran all over the street, he really didn't understand it all the time.

No, is it necessary for us to be so voluptuous?Isn't it just going to space as an engineer to repair antennas?And it's nothing more than a lieutenant officer, a mere non-commissioned officer, there's no need to punish people to death like this, right?

In the end, the enemy could not be found, and Li Pan could only think about racial discrimination and the grievances of the Butterfly Society.

But what if it's not just recruiting engineers?
"This...Uncle Chen, could it be..."

Uncle Chen shook his head,
"I know your parents, but I haven't done that yet. The Security Bureau has its own regulations when recruiting people. Although most of them still recruit elites from places like Xindong University and Science and Technology, in fact, there will be one or two colleges. Quota, select more professional talents.

I read your report card. You are a little talented in mechanics, and your military subjects are also good. Your parents also have military backgrounds. If it was before, you would be sent to Mars for training for a period of time, so you can be directly assigned to the operations department. "

Uncle Chen took a sip of Coke and looked out of the window, seeing the huge shadows cast by the tall buildings on the opposite bank, and the slums covered in darkness.

"But that was the way things were done in the past. It's a pity that I was on a business trip at the time, otherwise I would write a recommendation letter in your file, and probably nothing like that would happen."

Li Pan didn't complain much about being cut in line, knocked off the single-plank bridge with an elbow, and completely went astray in his life.

When I was young and ignorant, I was beaten once and couldn't swallow my breath. After I entered the society, I was beaten every day. Only then did I realize that it was something that I didn't have a door for. What did I think?

When the dream is awakened, there is nothing to look forward to or lose.

"Thank you Uncle Chen, I don't mind anymore."

Uncle Chen smiled,

"You don't mind? The Security Bureau can't even find out how the Oda family offended you. As soon as you entered the job, you closed the door and beat all the dogs to kill him. If it wasn't for this incident, the bureau would have rehired me, who is about to retire, to come back to meet you ?
Back then, this family took your chance to get ahead. You can recognize him even today, and you still say you don’t mind?
Li Pan, let's be frank and honest. Keeping the monster's security secret is a tacit understanding and consensus reached between the company and the Security Bureau. If you make some big troubles at every turn, I still have to help you finish it.

Then let's get straight to the point, I'll help you find out about this matter, I'll find out the person for you, send them to you, and deal with them whatever you want, and you don't do anything, how about it? "

Li Pan thought for a while,
"Okay, I will give you face, Uncle Chen, and abide by the tacit understanding with the Security Bureau, but don't bother you to do it, just give me a name, I promise not to deal with them by the company and monsters, and I will tell you before I make a move, no It's okay to make it difficult for you.

In addition, I have a friend here, Uncle Chen, can you check for me? "

Li Pan sent Huang Dahe's message.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Chen shook his head,

"I can't help you with this matter. It involves infighting at the level of a large company. It is inconvenient for our Security Bureau to intervene."

Li Pan also understood, that is to say, Huang Dahe was really targeted by the company.

Since the Security Bureau and the others were staring at them the whole time, it was impossible for them not to know about Cheng Zi and Huang Dahe, and they even provided information about their own people, yet they refused to provide assistance. I am afraid that Huang Dahe has already fallen into the company's hands.

And I'm afraid it's still at the same level as Monster Company and a member of the safety committee. Otherwise, the three places would not be willing to intervene. No wonder Shiba couldn't find it anyway.

But the hamburger of this shit burger is really delicious. It’s really rare to make artificial meat like this. It’s probably the SHIT of HOLYSHIT...

After having a meal of junk food with Uncle Chen, and after listening to the personal advice from the Security Bureau, Li Pan still decided to recruit Yamazaki Ayato to the company.

Come on by the rules.

It doesn't matter if you are an ordinary person, but these days, if you are a company dog, the Public Safety Bureau is an unavoidable hurdle. After all, they represent the Safety Committee. If you don't have the courage and ability to win a company war, you'd better Or get along well with everyone.

What's more, Li Pan has nothing to do with Chitiangou, so if the fourth place needs to be investigated, let him do it.What is there to be guilty of?The tasks sent by the fax machine are piled up. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have an extra two thousand five thousand for free labor?
However, Uncle Chen warned so clearly that there are probably a lot of agents staring at him. Recently, he has to keep a low profile, and the NCPA mission may not be done.

Anyway, the repayment money for this period is enough, so Li Pan drove to pick up the oranges at night, and the two of them went to find the cyberpunks she knew, and commissioned a search for Huang Dahe's whereabouts.

Cyberpunk, these people are generally retired veterans, part-time private investigators of various bounty hunters, wandering on the edge of legality and illegality, have citizenship themselves, and at the same time often go to dungeons, wilderness and various conflict zones.The business he does is also difficult to distinguish between black and white, and he is a group of ranger-like characters outside the system.

Although Uncle Chen hinted that Huang Dahe was taken away by the company, Chengzi was naturally worried, for fear that his son died in some corner of the Night City for no apparent reason.

At this time, the accumulated contacts are useful. Mercenaries like Wallenstein are often on the front line. Naturally, most of them have dealt with the emergency medical staff of the NCHC, Chengzi, who pick up garbage and perform operations. People who are on the verge of life and death naturally know each other. Help, the importance of solidarity and mutual assistance.

So he agreed to everything, and helped to spread the word, so that the middlemen of various forces, various teams and lone wolves knew that Cheng Zi was looking for his son.Everyone is in the same circle, even if you are too lazy to help her find it, just don't shoot her to death if you see her.

Li Pan actually yearns for a freelancer like cyberpunk. After retiring from the army, doing cyberpunk is risky and earns a lot, and it is better than a freedom. You don’t have to be a company dog, go to work every day, and be ignorant With a conscience, he worked hard to help the board of directors exploit those poor ghosts at the bottom.

But when cyberpunk has requirements, in addition to citizenship, you need prosthetic bodies and equipment for missions. If you open a personal office and mercenary company to avoid taxes, you also need a veteran’s certificate. And if you want to accept missions, you must know people?If you don't have any contacts, which middleman suddenly called and sent you the task?Isn't that clear, it's either cheating people or recruiting cannon fodder.

Therefore, the intermediary and the mercenary are also two-way choices, and the trust relationship is established through long-term communication and running-in.These days there is almost no mutual trust between people, and this is why only comrades from the army can join hands to complete tasks.

As a result, I drove to find my way automatically, and when I arrived at the 'Unfortunately Die' bar where cyberpunks often hang out in the suburbs, I encountered a lot of people in a gun battle.

Both sides are cyberpunk, licensed bronze or silver hunters, crackling, but only light weapons are fired at each other, and they are all three-stage bullets.

After all, if there is any obvious difference between cyberpunk and regular company outsourcing teams and security forces, it is stingy and poor, and they are reluctant to use military ammunition...

Stopping at the roadside parking lot, Li Pan and Cheng Zi waited and watched in the car first, Cheng Zi asked acquaintances to understand the situation.

"When it was said that the money was divided, there was a quarrel."

Yep, that's basically unstoppable.Comrades belong to comrades, and brothers belong to brothers. Everyone is born to make money, and it is too common for the spoils to be unevenly distributed.

Li Pan looked at the oranges,

"How are you, can you hold on?"

Oranges tie their hair,

"I'm fine, I'm used to it, but Li, are you fine?"

Li Pan was puzzled,

"Me? What's the matter with me?"

Cheng Zi glanced up and down at him,
"You replaced the whole body's skin with ceramic armor. This is a major operation, and you don't stay at home for a day? The anesthetic should have expired, right? Don't you feel pain?"

Oh, nothing, no anesthesia.

"It's okay, it hurts a little at first, you can move after Renren..."

Orange gave him a punch.

"But 'not to die'? It's too unlucky..."

"Heh, dying on the bed with a catheter inserted, how can he be called a legend of the Night City?"

Orange pushed a contact to Li Pan.

"Queen of Iron, VAJIRA, who is this? A worker in the entertainment industry?"

The avatar of the contact person only has a back view, which seems to be a woman, with protruding front and back. Li Pan likes it casually, but it shows that the other party needs to be authenticated to add friends.

Cheng Zi introduced, "VAJIRA, in Sanskrit, the King Kong who commands the yakshas.

Before the war, she was a colonel of the special forces, one of the brothers under her command, and later became a mercenary leader and an arms dealer. Now she is the boss of "Unfortunate Death", the most powerful middleman in the capital of the night, the completion rate of missions and the survival rate of mercenaries rate, the highest among all cyberpunk teams. "

"Oh, you want to entrust her to find Yamato?"

Orange smiled wryly,

"Entrust her? Do you know how much it costs to entrust her just for the agency fee? If you want to see her, you can start with at least five figures.

I'm here to find someone else, but it's the first time you come to her place, you have to report in advance, if she doesn't let people from the company..., you can wait for me in the car. "

"Understood. But there won't be robbery in the bar, right?"

Li Pan compared OK, looked at the cyberpunk outside who were playing happily, and looked at the bag that Chengzi was holding tightly in his hand when he got into the car. It was probably a 'garbage' for entrusting tasks.

"It's okay, they don't dare to mess around in the queen's place, don't you see how they fight like this, don't dare to fly a bullet into the bar..."

Cheng Zi hesitated for a moment, then opened the bag and showed Li Pan a look.

It's a spine...huh? ?Wait, wait a minute, this one looks familiar, it seems to be...

"It was removed from the cyberpsychopath who was massacred in the metropolitan area that day."

Orange gritted his teeth,
"I want to install it. Only by installing it can I have the power to bring Yamato back."

Li Pan opened his jaw, speechless for a moment, and then the system whispered in his ear.

'The Iron Queen approved your friend request, now you can start chatting. '
