from night city

His tone softened.

Chapter 1 He is real, I cried to death (3K)

"Listen, I'm not threatening you, but you don't understand. Even if the relic is left in your hands, it won't help you."

"I don't care what Parker told you, or what conditions he promised, but it's different now. That Parker woman has run away."

"I checked Parker's file. It's not a forgery. She is a sex doll. At best, she is a spy working for other people. At best, this is the height that someone like her can reach."

"If you keep that relic in your hands, it will only make Arasaka Yorinobu continue to stare at you. This is a - how do you say that word - oh yes, a time bomb. I don't know when it will explode. '...Do you understand?"

V narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Goro Takemura.

"Since this biochip is a time bomb, why don't we throw it into the water? Instead, give it to you? Aren't you afraid of being blown to pieces?"

Takemura Goro stopped talking.

I can tell.

He was racking his brains and guts.

Seeing his constipated expression, Su Xiao and the other two looked at each other.

I stopped teasing him.

Finally, Su Xiao took the initiative to speak.

"Actually, the freezer containing relic was already damaged when we escaped from the Kanbi Building. Later, we saw that the integrity of the freezer was gone, so we threw it away.

"Don't lie to me! Do I look like a fool?!"

"You don't believe it? Okay, then I'll take you there and let you see it with your own eyes."

After half an hour.

Delamain's taxi took everyone back to the place where Su Xiao had thrown the freezer.

When I threw it away before, there was no one near the garbage dump.

Now there are several homeless people surrounding him.

One of the homeless men picked up the freezer and ran away, as if he had found a treasure.

But another homeless man pushed him hard.

Push him to the ground.

Want to snatch away

Freezer.

The homeless man from before put the freezer box under his body with all his strength and protected it tightly.

Let the other homeless people punch and kick him.

"Bang! Bang bang bang—"

Gunshots sounded suddenly.

All the tramp's movements were frozen.

Turning his head with horror on his face, he saw Takemura Goro with an angry face.

Seeing that they were still frozen in place, Takemura Goro slowly aimed his gun at them.

"roll!"

All the homeless people were frightened and fled in panic.

Even the homeless man who first tried his best to protect the freezer did not dare to run away with the freezer again.

Soon, the homeless people disappeared without a trace.

Goro Takemura ignored the homeless people who escaped.

He put away his weapon.

He took three steps and then stepped forward in a hurry.

No regard for the filth of the garbage dump.

One foot is deep and the other is shallow, stepping on the garbage pile.

Take the freezer out.

Then he noticed the bullet holes on the surface of the box.

And the information displayed on the display - chip integrity: zero percent.

This made Goro Takemura's heart sink.

It seems that Lidya Su did not lie to him.

If the box is damaged and the integrity of the chip inside drops to zero, the data inside will also be cleared.

Then there is really no need for them to keep it.

But Takemura Goro slowly opened the box with the last trace of luck in mind.

then……

This thought of luck was gone.

The cruel reality was like pouring cold water on him in the coldest month of winter.

Let him freeze in place.

The inside of the freezer was empty.

relic has long since disappeared.

Zhucun felt that his mind was blank.

The master I served died in the Cyanbi Building.

Even relic is missing now.

"No! It's impossible!"

As if going crazy, he threw himself into the garbage pile and started rummaging through it regardless of the stench and dirt.

Goro Takemura rummaged through the garbage for several minutes.

He dug out any leftovers.

He even got himself dirty.

But the only thing I can't see is the relic that I never forget.

In the end, he seemed to be down, sitting among a pile of garbage, not knowing what he was thinking.

It's like ten years older all of a sudden.

His miserable appearance was unbearable to look at.

But Su Xiao didn't mean to play tricks on him, and it was also difficult to say.

He can't tell the other party Relic's true whereabouts now.

Otherwise, Su Xiao was really afraid that Goro Takemura, a stubborn and loyal dog, would forcefully pull out the relic from the slot of the small flat head.

Who knows if Johnny Tachikma Silverhand will still be alive by then.

Don’t forget, Johnny Silverhand is Arasaka’s mortal enemy.

If it hadn't been for him and Morgan Blackhand's Bushido No. [-] and Bushido No. [-] nuclear bombs, Arasaka would not have been driven out of Night City and lost decades of time.

As the saying goes, the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet each other.

It is not impossible for a human brain to create a dog brain.

Anyway, Su Xiao couldn't think of a picture of Goro Takemura and Johnny Silverhand having fun together.

"How long are you going to sit there? We don't have time to spend with you. Should we leave first and give you some private space?"

Hearing V's voice, Takemura Goro seemed to have finally come to his senses and stood up staggeringly from the garbage pile.

"No need, I'll go with you."

He just got close.

V and Jack covered their noses.

Lidya Su also frowned.

"Don't get in the car yet. You smell terrible. You'd better go wash up first."

……

Wait for Goro Takemura to go to a nearby inn and take a good shower.

Rinse all the smell off your body.

Su Xiao bought him a new suit, trousers, leather shoes, white shirt and tie.

Let Goro Takemura replace them all.

Only then did he get in the car.

Goro Takemura, who returned to the car, gradually calmed down after taking a good bath.

He glanced at the calm Lidya Su.

I started to wonder about another possibility.

He suspected that Su Xiao had thrown that freezer here intentionally.

Even the bullet holes on the box, he suspected were directed and acted by Su Xiao.

The purpose is naturally to hope that I will no longer pursue Relic.

Takemura Goro didn't know if his guess was correct.

However, he had learned to be smart (in fact, more accurately, he should have understood the situation), so he did not ask out his doubts, but hid them in his heart.

This is the result of his careful consideration and repeated thinking.

He now feels that this relic is not the most important.
