from night city

Unless special materials are used, or there is an anti-reconnaissance coating on the wall.

Su Xiao first tested the night vision and thermal imaging functions respectively and was very satisfied.

Then switch to scan mode.

A circle of red light spread in all directions.

The picture in the field of vision did not turn into a white hot/black hot/color picture like thermal imaging, or a green patch like night vision goggles.

But the picture is the same as before.

But there are many more red humanoid outlines.

These are the people detected by the scanning pattern.

It can be detected even through thick walls.

And because of this pair of tactical eyepieces, it is connected to the NCPD database.

Each humanoid silhouette will also display its name and personal information registered in the NCPD database in real time.

He could even see Jack secretly drinking in the bar again, and then Mrs. Wells angrily taking away the bottle, and V in the bathroom...

cough cough.

Su Xiao silently turned off the scanning mode.

In addition to these active functions mentioned above, there is also a passive function.

Anti-detection interference.

This will invalidate any scans performed on anyone wearing the tactical eyepiece.

In other words, as long as Su Xiao wears this tactical goggles, even if he swaggers around under the monitor, he doesn't have to worry about his true appearance being photographed.

Because the entire outline of the human figure in the photo is blurry, it will automatically be covered with a thick layer of mosaic.

Chapter 27 Chicken Soup

"Sebastian Ibarra."

The priest who heard the voice looked away from the Bible on the dining table in front of him and slowly raised his head.

He saw a man "standing" in front of him.

The man is wearing a suit and tie.

Wearing a silver watch on her wrist.

The shoes were polished to a shine.

Dressed like a company dog.

But what attracted more attention than this outfit was the man's eyes.

His left eye is normal.

The right eye is three narrow prosthetic eyes arranged vertically downward.

This is similar to a spider-like modified compound eye, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression and chill.

"Waiting for someone?"

"No, I'm here to eat." The priest closed the Bible, pushed it aside, and smiled lightly, "The food at Tom's Restaurant is very delicious, so I came here to try it, but you..."

The priest looked at the man and said, "Isn't it rumored that you rarely leave Saint-Domingue, Faraday?"

"It's nice to go outside for a walk once in a while."

Faraday did not wait for the priest's invitation and sat down in front of the priest unceremoniously.

The elbows of both hands were placed on the table, the fingers were interlaced, and the chin was gently knocked on the back of the hands.

The temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a lot.

Being stared at motionlessly by Faraday's four prosthetic eyes would have given anyone a chill down their spine and made their hair stand on end.

But the priest didn't seem to be stressed at all. He seemed like a very ordinary, elderly, bald old man, just having fun with his neighbors.

"At this juncture? I heard that during the recent period, Saint-Domingue has not been peaceful at all. A middleman called "Old Captain" appeared out of nowhere. "

Faraday's eyelids jumped when he heard the name of the old captain.

But then he didn't care.

"What an old captain, Muammar Reyes used to be just a company dog, and now he comes to mix in the muddy waters of the middleman."

"It's not easy to be a middleman. If you don't pay attention, you may be hunted down by both the employer and the mercenaries."

The priest looked kind and kind: "It seems you are very confident."

"It's not that I'm confident. The so-called old captain is not a middleman at all. Let's see. In a year at most, if he hadn't died, he would have quit this business, and the middleman in Saint-Domingue would just be I will always be me."

Just when the two of them were making excuses, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"You are already here. Very good. You are indeed a reliable middleman in the city."

The two turned their heads at the same time.

Then I saw another man in a suit and leather shoes walking over.

It's just that this man didn't use a knife on his face like Faraday did.

Just a very common company dog ​​look.

The man in the suit came to the table where the priest and Faraday were.

Both sides of the table were occupied by the priest and Faraday.

However, the priest responded faster.

Take the initiative to sit inside.

“My child, don’t you mind getting closer to the Lord’s servant.”

"Of course I don't mind, Father."

If the Mann team were here, they would recognize that the man in a suit sitting at the same table with the priest was the employer they protected before.

The priest and Faraday looked at each other.

When they saw each other in Tom's Hotel, they guessed that the other party might be a competitor for this commission.

Now it seems that it is.

The man in the suit coughed and pulled their gaze back.

He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"I won't say any more nonsense. I'm very pressed for time and don't have time to waste here."

"A few days ago, I was assassinated. My former colleague hired the Animal Gang to do it. Why do I say once? Because that guy is now lying in an abandoned factory in Santo Domingo. After a few days, I'm afraid the body will be long gone. It stinks."

"Although he is dead, the Animal Gang who was hired by him to attack me are still at large."

"So, gentlemen, I want you to kill the leader of the Animal Gang. I want his head."

The priest nodded slightly.

There are hundreds and eighty commissions like this popping up every day in Night City, so maybe he has a few.

"I understand, sir, but what I don't understand is, why do you need two middlemen?"

Faraday looked at the priest sitting next to the client intentionally or unintentionally: "We have a very good basis for cooperation before. Didn't my people leave a deep impression on you?"

"Because I want nothing to go wrong, and I don't want to see someone slip through the net and come to seek revenge from me again. Do you understand?"

"I have a request, my son," the priest said slowly. "My people will complete the tasks you ask for, but my people cannot share the reward equally with Faraday's people. Instead, they must give us a separate share."

What the priest meant was...

Since this work is entrusted to two middlemen.

Then don't think about spending just a middleman's money and get away with it.

……

"Here comes lunch."

Lidya Su came over with the prepared breakfast.

He placed the snail noodles ordered by V and the hot dry noodles ordered by Jack in front of the two of them respectively.

Then he sat down and took a sip of the beef noodle soup.

Take a sip of soup.

Cool.

"What kind of job is this?"

Early in the morning, Jack received a call from the priest.

Then he quickly called the two of them up.

The Chinese food Su Xiao cooked last time was very suitable for both of them.

The two urged to do it again.

Now the three of them are sitting at a table in the Wild Wolf Bar, chatting while eating.

Jack swallowed the fragrant noodles: "Do you still remember the road shootout you saw on the viaduct in Santo Domingo when you first came to Night City?"

Su Xiao nodded.

He's not so forgetful that he can't remember what happened so long ago.

"The person sitting in the Goodra car that was attacked by the Animal Gang was the employer of this job. His request was very simple, which was to kill the leader of the Animal Gang who attacked him."

"The animal gangs in the city all fight on their own and are not integrated into one body. What we have to deal with is only one of the gangs."

"This commission includes not only the three of us, but also another mercenary team active in Santo Domingo. Their goal is the same as ours."

Su Xiao asked curiously: "The priest also hired them?"

Jack shook his head.

"No, in addition to the priest, the employer also found a middleman in Santo Domingo. This situation is rare. Usually, only one middleman is found, but it cannot be said that there is no such situation."
